DECLARATION OF INTERESTS (NOTES FOR YOUR GUIDANCE) (updated 13 March 2000)
A member who has a Financial Interest in any matter to be discussed at a Council or Committee Meeting, which will be
attended by the member, must disclose the nature of the interest: (a) In a written notice given to the Chief Executive Officer before the Meeting or; (b) At the Meeting, immediately before the matter is discussed.
A member, who makes a disclosure in respect to an interest, must not: (c) Preside at the part of the Meeting, relating to the matter or;
(d) Participate in, or be present during any discussion or decision-making procedure relative to the matter, unless to the extent that the disclosing member is allowed to do so under Section 5.68 or Section 5.69 of the Local Government Act 1995.
NOTES ON FINANCIAL INTEREST (FOR YOUR GUIDANCE)
The following notes are a basic guide for Councillors when they are considering whether they have a Financial Interest in a matter. I intend to include these notes in each agenda for the time being so that Councillors may refresh their memory.
1. A Financial Interest requiring disclosure occurs when a Council decision might advantageously or detrimentally affect the Councillor or a person closely associated with the Councillor and is capable of being measure in money ter ms. There are exceptions in the Local Government Act 1995 but they should not be relied on without advice, unless the
situation is very clear.
2. If a Councillor is a member of an Association (which is a Body Corporate) with not less than 10 members i.e. sporting,
social, religious etc), and the Councillor is not a holder of office of profit or a guarantor, and has not leased land to or from the club, i.e., if the Councillor is an ordinary member of the Association, the Councillor has a common and not a financial interest in any matter to that Association.
3. If an interest is shared in common with a significant number of electors or ratepayers, then the obligation to disclose
that interest does not arise. Each case needs to be considered.
4. If in doubt declare.
5. As stated in (b) above, if written notice disclosing the interest has not been given to the Chief Executive Officer before the meeting, then it MUST be given when the matter arises in the Agenda, and immediately before the matter is
discussed.
6. Ordinarily the disclosing Councillor must leave the meeting room before discussion commences. The only exceptions are:
6.1 Where the Councillor discloses the extent of the interest, and Council carries a motion under s.5.68(1)(b)(ii) or the Local Government Act; or
6.2 Where the Minister allows the Councillor to participate under s.5.69(3) of the Local Government Act, with or without conditions.
INTERESTS AFFECTING IMPARTIALITY DEFINITION: An interest that would give rise to a reasonable belief that the impartiality of the person having the interest
would be adversely affected, but does not include an interest as referred to in Section 5.60 of the ‘Act’.
A member who has an Interest Affecting Impartiality in any matter to be discussed at a Council or Committee Meeting,
which will be attended by the member, must disclose the nature of the interest; (a) in a written notice given to the Chief Executive Officer before the Meeting; or (b) at the Meeting, immediately before the matter is discussed.
IMPACT OF AN IMPARTIALITY CLOSURE
There are very different outcomes resulting from disclosing an interest affecting impartiality compared to that of a financia l interest. With the declaration of a financial interest, an elected member leaves the room and does not vote.
With the declaration of this new type of interest, the elected member stays in the room, participates in the debate and votes. In effect then, follow ing disclosure of an interest affecting impartiality, the member’s involvement in the Meeting
continues as if no interest existed.

Issues The Audit & Organisational Risk Committee has the delegated power to oversee the progress of the audit being undertaken in respect to the Karratha Airport Car Park Project. A report will be provided by the consultants by the end of June for the Audit & Organisational Risk Committee to consider. A new Terms of Reference has been developed outlining the purpose, scope and responsibilities of the Audit & Organisational Risk Committee together with details on membership, delegations and other matters relevant to the proper functioning of this committee. The Terms of Reference broadens the scope of the Committee to include areas of risk management, internal controls and internal audit, financial reporting, external audit and compliance. The code of conduct has also been broadened to emphasise the role of elected members, CEO and employees, importance of conflicts of interest, misconduct, processes to be followed in instances of misconduct and highlighting penalties for breaches. A review has been undertaken as a result of comments raised within the CCC Report and also to assist with good business processes and for the protection in integrity of the Shire, its elected members and employees. Matters pertaining to correspondence from the Department of Local Government are currently being examined by the Finance Department.

9.3 STRATEGIC COMMUNITY PLAN

Attachment(s) 1. Strategic Community Plan 2. Correspondence from Taylor Linfoot & Holmes on
behalf of Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation 3. Email from Sue Lennard May 9, 2011 4. Email from Sue Lennard May 11, 2011
5. Correspondence from the Minister for Local Government
Responsible Officer: Chief Executive Officer Author Name: Manager Corporate Compliance Disclosure of Interest: Nil
Report Purpose Endorse and adopt the Strategic Community Plan and the schedule of other related works.
Background In October 2010, the Minister for Local Government; Heritage; Citizenship and Multicultural Interests introduced as part of the local government reform program ―Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework and Guidelines” for local government authorities. As a result of a survey conducted in 2009, the Minister was made aware that over 2/3 of WA local governments lacked quality strategic documents that were useful in defining the future for local communities in terms of asset management and financial planning. The framework and guidelines is to encourage local governments to develop minimum ten (10) year strategic plans that focus on community needs (Community Plan); an organisational plan (Corporate Business Plan) to address resourcing needs; and supporting funding (Budget) to ensure achievement of future aspirations, direction, feasibility and sustainability of projects and initiatives for the community into the future. The minimum requirement to meet the intent of the plan for the future is the development of:
A strategic community plan
A corporate business plan. The framework is intended to facilitate good practice and continuous improvement in strategic planning across the entire local government sector in WA. Other structural and planning documents, economic studies, Shire service strategies etc should dove-tail into the community and corporate plans at a strategic level to develop infrastructure needs, levels of service and resourcing requirements. The inclusion of all these reports enables improved reporting, enhanced levels of information to aid more informed decision making. The strategic community plan determines where we are now; where do we want to be; and how do we get there? The plan needs to identify and prioritise community aspirations giving consideration to social, economic and environmental objectives as well as factors such as changing demographics and land use. The corporate business plan is the document that activates the strategic community plan by determining the community‘s priorities, assess the resourcing capacity to deliver against asset management, financial management and work force management operational plans.
27
KPMG have been commissioned by the Shire of Roebourne to assist in delivering a strategic community plan.
At the Special Council meeting of 28 March 2011, the draft Strategic Community Plan was presented to Council for consideration. Council resolved to make the plan public and invited submissions. Advertising commenced 4th April 2011 until 4pm on 2nd May 2011. Unfortunately with the extended public holidays within this period of advertising, the lack of availability of elected members, staff and suitable shopping centre available days, we were not able to actively promote the plan as intended through specific workshops and community forums. What has been achieved is through concurrently run community surveys focussing on youth and business development. In addition, promotions also occurred through print and radio media outlets as well as through the Shire‘s website.
As at the close of the submission period, only one (1) submission was received from solicitors acting on behalf of the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation who are seeking a stronger partnership with the Shire in its future planning.
Two late email submissions were also received from Ms Sue Lennard.
Regulatory changes
The Shire has been advised recently by the Minister as of 4 May 2011 that there are regulatory changes that will take effect as of 1 July 2011 relating to the Plan for the Future, the requirement of a strategic community plan and the corporate business plan and the relationship they have and prescribing processes of consultation, review and adoption. It is further noted that it will be a requirement to have these documents in place by 1 July 2013.
The Minister also advises that tools will become available on the website to assist with the two plans as well as frameworks and guidelines relating to asset management, long term financial planning, workforce planning and a development guide. There will also be integrated planning master classes run by LGMA. A date as to when these are available has not yet been released, let alone the degree of change that could be impacted by the introduction of new legislation.
Issues Strategic Community Plan The items raised through the SCP submission period are to be considered by the Council. Specific matters raised by the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation include:
Services and facilities provided to Aboriginal people;
More involvement with land use planning, NAC/Shire Agreement; cultural heritage
management plan – Wickham Motocross site
Housing for Aboriginal people;
Anketell Development
SCP document to include aboriginal history
Availability for NAC to provide consultancy services
Developing strong partnerships between NAC Board and Shire Council
Community Survey to include NAC
Matters noted by Ms Lennard include:
Entry statements along our shire boundary into the Shire of Roebourne along North
West Coastal Highway and from roadways exiting the Shire of Ashburton in the south
with the slogan ―Powerhouse of the Pilbara‖.
28
Pilbara Botanical Park perhaps with the Burrup Peninsula incorporating indigenous
partnership and tourism opportunity.
Quality souvenir, merchandise and artwork at the Karratha Airport given the large
number of passengers going through the terminal. Again this could be a indigenous
partnership opportunity or an outlet for local artists.
Valet parking service at the airport.
Shaded CBD walks be incorporated into new developments whether these be
cyclone rated built structures or sustainable avenues of green.
Like to see a greening plan for the CBD
Like research by the Shire into ensuring they get the right quality plants and species
for our conditions in the Pilbara.
Establish a branch of the WA Museum in the Pilbara which could be a museum of
modern mining /resources showcasing contemporary development in the Pilbara and
could be funded in part by major resource companies.
Establish a second campus similar to the Kalgoorlie School of Mines in Karratha
More public art incorporated into streetscapes

The lack of feedback from other members of the public could in fact be a result from the over use of community survey‘s and other forms of engagement by the Shire in attempting to consult the community on a number of operational and strategic issues. Feedback from these surveys was presented to Council for consideration at the 16th May 2011 Council meeting where it was agreed to include key outcomes of the 2011 Community Needs and Satisfaction Survey. It is interesting to note that the Minister for Local Government has stated that in developing the 10 year Strategic Community Plans:
―... active engagement with the community is an essential part of the process. Communities demand to be engaged to consider and to state their aspirations.”
There is still some massaging required of the final document to capture the full aspirations of the community.

Corporate Business Plan Once the SCP is finalised, the next phase is for the Corporate Business Plan to be developed. The CEO and Directors are compiling Directorate and Departmental Plans. These plans need to identify by directorate and department the services we provide, why they are provided, how they are provided, what benefits are provided to the community and what are the outcomes to identify whether we have succeeded. The plans also need to reflect the resourcing requirements expected to meet agreed levels of service. Resourcing is impacted by staffing, office accommodation, vehicle and housing implications. The Directorate and Departmental Plans need to match up with the community aspirations identified in the Strategic Community Plan. We then need to ensure that current and long term budget estimates address the matters identified in the Corporate Business Plan and the Strategic Community Plan. Annual Budget The budget is being compiled by Officers in consultation with briefings amongst elected members. A formal budget is to be presented to Council for adoption in June 2011. This needs to marry with the higher level strategies from the Directorates and Departments and further aligning with the aspirations of the community. In light of recent announcements by the Minister to change legislation as of 1 July 2011 consideration may wish to be given by Council as to whether we proceed with the planned early roll out of the Shire‘s community plan and business plans as identified below on the assumption that the ground rules do not change as of 1 July 2011 and we are not disadvantaged by having to repeat efforts undertaken to date, or we consider deferring any further works until more detail is known of the Ministerial changes and its potential impact on our work to date. Officers are seeking comment from the Department of Local Government as to an indication of the changes and the planned rollout of resource material for local governments to use. The roll out The Shire‘s roll out is based on what is known today, that is we are required to have in place a strategic community plan, corporate business plan and long term budgets integrated into one overarching and integrated document. The integrated plan not only paints the future direction and aspirations of the Shire but also ensures sustainable practices of realising goals in an efficient and effective manner and provides good governance and integrity to the community to which it governs. The intention from here is that the high level aspirational Strategic Community Plan will be submitted to Council for adoption at the 20th June 2011 Council meeting. By the 30th June 2011 Special Council Meeting a high level Directorate plan that forms part of the Business Planning phase indicating strategic objectives, initiatives and priorities for 2011/12 will be produced and submitted to Council for consideration with the adoption of the proposed 2011/12 Budget. By January 2012, a further review will be necessitated to ensure satisfaction of a quality ten (10) year Strategic Community Plan to iron out any inconsistencies. By March 2012 the full business plan including Directorate and Departmental plans rolled out to five (5) years will have been completed together with a budget with forward estimates for a ten (10) year
30
period. Asset management plans will follow indicating ten (10) years programming of maintenance and asset preservation works with new projects also fully costed. Future Directions The Strategic Community Plan will promote investigation into priority strategic directions that will be necessary for the Shire of Roebourne to consider for its future growth and wellbeing. Such strategies, although not exhaustive by any means, could be:
Community Safety strategy Economic Development strategy
Social & Wellbeing strategy Tourism & Heritage strategy
Active Ageing strategy Employment strategy
Indigenous strategy Housing strategy
Sustainable Energy strategy Youth strategy
Town Planning and Development
strategies
Place based strategies (Point
Samson, Wickham, Roebourne,
Dampier and Karratha)
Public transport strategy Recreational Activities strategy
Education and Technology strategy Waste Management strategy
Public Arts strategy Entertainment strategy
Public Open Space strategy Community facilities development
plan
CBD Greening strategy Resource planning (internal)
CBD Activation strategy Environmental strategy
These strategies will begin development within 2011/12 and will evolve over the next three years as we engage with the community and stakeholders on areas of strategic importance and direction. These strategies will dove-tail into future business planning and budget estimates. These strategies are distinct from the internal business improvement processes that will also be undertaken through the transformation process in 2011/12. These processes identified below will support a transformed structure that needs to deliver the services and products necessary to meet community expectations whilst also ensuring core services are maintained and minimising non-core activities. In the report provided by KPMG, 6 priority areas were identified:
Human Resources
Finance
Strategy and Policy
Communications
Procurement and Tendering
Functional Processes
Within these priority areas designated projects have been identified and include reviewing customer service processes, delegation processes, records management processes, review and refine core service delivery processes, review organisational policies and procedures, identify resourcing requirements, development of performance management frameworks, new processes for contract management, enhanced procurement, tendering and contracting processes, asset management plans, office accommodation planning, financial services reviews, training and development and reporting of KPI‘s. By undertaking these reviews on a routine arrangement will better the organisation in its service delivery, be better resourced and have the ability to meet community aspirations.
31
Options Council members have two options towards the finalisation of the Strategic Community Plan, that is:
1. Proceed to endorse the Strategic Community Plan as presented in the current
format, whilst recognising the level of consultation that has occurred outside of this
process in recent years and the information that has been collected; and
a. Officers develop the Shire of Roebourne‘s Corporate Business Plan which
integrates other plans with resourcing strategies; and
b. Officers proceed in developing a annual budget (with forward estimates) that
focuses on strategic objectives and outcomes whilst recognising the limited
resources available; or
2. Defer the adoption of the strategic planning document until:
a. Officers can source tools made available by the Department of Local
Government and ascertain a greater understanding of the new legislative
requirements surrounding future strategic planning; and
b. Propose that further community consultation is undertaken through
workshops or forums, at a more suitable time that can be arranged for all
stakeholders to be better prepared.
Option 2 does not restrict the completion of the budget and other planning occurring within departments, rather deferring the finalisation of the Strategic Community Plan until an opportunity arises whereby fuller discussion and dialogue can occur amongst community groups as to the future of the Shire and its residents.
Policy Implications
Policies may need to be reviewed should there be any significant shift in Council strategic direction or thinking.
Legislative Implications The Shire is required to have in place a plan that provides strategic direction for the district into the future in accordance with section 5.56 of the Local Government Act 1995. This has been more commonly known in the industry as a ―Plan for the Future‖. The recent announcement by the Minister to develop integrated strategic plans that comprise of a community plan a business plan effectively meet the minimum legislative requirements.
These plans then feed into the budget processes for the current and future reporting periods. The Shire is required to have in place a plan for the Shire‘s future through the development of a strategic planning document (Section 5.56 of the Local Government Act 1995). This document shall be used to guide council in strategic direction and planning as well as being a tool that assists in determining the annual budget and forward budget forecasts.
Recent notification by the Minister indicates that legislation affecting future planning is about to be amended with the exact details remaining unknown. It is proposed that the 2 yearly review of the plan for the future will be replaced with integrated strategic planning provisions to take effect as from 1 July 2013.
Financial Implications There may be various financial imposts placed on the Shire as a result of the adoption of the Strategic Community Plan, that will have bearing on future budgets. These impacts will be bought to Council‘s attention through the budget deliberation process. The Shire has already committed in the 2010/11 budget $20,000 towards the review of the Shire‘s strategic plan through KPMG and a further $30,000 towards undertaking community surveys in relation to the strategic planning process.
32
Conclusion On the basis that information is being captured through other community surveys as to what responsibilities, projects and directions Council should be focussing on, it is recommended to proceed with the inclusion of the Corporate Business Plan and Annual Budget into the integrated planning document. Submissions received through these other processes will assist in developing the strategic plan from an operational level. It is worth noting that these documents should be reviewed every two years to ensure that the Council is working alongside the community in improving its services and support to the district‘s development and meeting the desired aspirations.

9.4 STRATEGIC POLICIES OF COMMUNITY AND STRATEGIC SIGNIFICANCE
File No: CS.10
Attachment(s) 1. Activities and Services Policy 2. Significant Decision Making Policy 3. Consultation Policy 4. Customer Service Charter Responsible Officer: Chief Executive Officer Author Name: Manager Corporate Compliance Disclosure of Interest: Nil
Report Purpose To adopt the following policies necessary to ensure that the Shire is providing quality service in its decision making processes and is effectively communicating with its community.
Background There are three policies and a customer service charter that have been drafted for consideration by Council. These are as follows:
Activities and Services Policy
Significant Decision Making Policy
Consultation Policy
Customer Service Charter
Activities and Services Policy This policy is designed for consideration to be given at the decision making stage as to our core activities and services and what scope there is to diverge from this viewpoint. The Activities and Services Policy provides a framework that articulates why Council undertakes certain activities as well as the roles that Council will assume in carrying out these activities in delivering services to the community. Furthermore, the Council shall be guided by the following factors during the decision making process:
1. Council‘s vision for the Shire of Roebourne
2. Council‘s Mission Statement for the Shire
3. The Strategic Plan
4. Compliance with legislative and district policies.
Additionally, Council will undertake activities, singularly or in partnership, that promote well being by adopting roles that support the community‘s aspirations.
1. Council will align its decision making to ensure that it takes into account social,
economic, environmental and cultural well being.
2. Council will take into account the present and future well being of the Shire‘s
communities, relative to the level of effect on any particular community.
3. Council will make decisions that are within the requirements of legislation.
4. Council will take into account the impact on the Council‘s capacity to meet present
and future growth and demand for the activity or service of Council.
Significant Decision Making Policy
45
The purpose of this policy is to provide guidance to Council in determining the significance of proposals and decisions. It includes procedures, criteria and thresholds that Council will use in assessing which issues, proposals, decisions and other matters are significant. Council will ordinarily consult on any matters of significance through the preparation, review or amendment to its Strategic Plan or through its Annual Corporate Plan. Where a matter is deemed significant, Council will consider consulting with the community. In considering whether an issue, proposal, decision or other matter is of significance under this policy, Council will be guided by the following:
1. The likely impact/consequences of the issue, proposal, decision or other matter
on the current and future social, economic, environmental and cultural well being
of the Shire.
2. The parties likely to be particularly affected by or interested in the issue,
proposal, decision or other matter.
3. The likely impact/consequence of the issue, proposal, decision or other matter
from the perspective of those parties.
4. The financial and non-financial costs and implications of the issue, proposal,
decision or other matter having regard to Council‘s capacity to perform its role.
It is proposed that this policy will place additional emphasis on Council agenda reports whereby a statement will be included indicating whether the issue is significant and whether consultation is required. Consultation Policy This policy reflects the need to have effective communication. The Council recognises its obligation to seek the views of local communities on issues, plans and strategies that may directly or indirectly affect them. This Policy has been developed to meet Council‘s commitment to making decisions in an open, transparent and accountable way. The Council will consider the views of the community in the decision making process. The objectives of the policy are:
To promote a sense of inclusion in the Council decision making process.
To seek information and input into issues, strategies or plans that may directly or
indirectly affect the community.
To ensure the people of Shire of Roebourne have the opportunity for meaningful
input and genuine involvement in the council‘s decision making.
To provide the opportunity for the people within the Shire to become aware of other‘s
opinions and to recommend appropriate solutions to community issues.
To ensure that Council is meeting its legislative requirements regarding community
consultation.
To ensure that Council has enough quality information, including information on the
views of the community, to make well informed decisions.
The policy proposes the Shire adopt the International Association for Public Participation‘s (IAP2) spectrum of participation and will use it to guide how and when to seek public input into its decisions. Different techniques and levels of engagement will be utilised depending upon the nature of the matter. This policy does not suggest consultation will occur on every matter that is before Council thus stifling delivery of services, but merely to focus on significant matters that are likely to be contentious or requiring community comment and feedback.
46
Customer Service Charter This document outlines the level of service and expectation from the community necessary to satisfy a member of the public‘s enquiry, complaint, comments and support. Our commitment is to:
Providing prompt, friendly and efficient customer service.
Constantly looking at ways to improve our customer service.
Offering customer friendly systems and processes.
Actively seeking your feedback to ensure that your needs are being met.
Issues The matters raised above all dove-tail into lifting the profile and professionalism of staff, elected members. It also heightens the awareness and focuses on decision making processes and the importance of having all the relevant data to enable the nurturing of informed decisions. Community engagement in many instances is paramount to getting the community views on strategic matters that will have consequences through rates, lifestyle, environmental, economic or social implications.
Options Council has the following options available:
1. Accept the officer‘s recommendation; 2. Not accept the officer‘s recommendation; or 3. Defer or do nothing.
Policy Implications There are currently no existing policies in which these would conflict with. The adoption of these policies will raise the bar in terms of cross organisational information flows and enhanced quality of information presented for decision making purposes.
Legislative Implications The role of Council is stated in section 2.7 of the Local Government Act 1995 as:
2.7. Role of council
(1) The council —
(a) governs the local government‘s affairs; and
(b) is responsible for the performance of the local government‘s functions.
(2) Without limiting subsection (1), the council is to —
(a) oversee the allocation of the local government‘s finances and resources; and
(b) determine the local government‘s policies.
47
Section 2.10 of the Act states:
2.10. Role of councillors
A councillor —
(a) represents the interests of electors, ratepayers and residents of the district;
(b) provides leadership and guidance to the community in the district;
(c) facilitates communication between the community and the council;
(d) participates in the local government‘s decision-making processes at council and
committee meetings; and
(e) performs such other functions as are given to a councillor by this Act or any other
written law.
The Local Government Act 1995 and other pieces of legislation in which the Shire operates within makes reference to the provision of quality information flows and the minimum levels needed to consult with the public or particular groups impacted or likely to be impacted by decisions affecting communities. Section 1.7 and 1.8 of the Act make reference to local and state-wide notice, but specific areas of the Act indicate consultative processes that need to be followed prior to approvals being allowed. The Town Planning Act and the Shire‘s Town Planning Scheme also recite the need for community or stakeholder engagement. The policies and charter proposed do not conflict with statutory requirements and offer scope to increase the public awareness of matters and strengthens the ability of elected members to provide sound decisions.
Financial Implications There are no specific financial implications excepting for the need to perhaps increase the level of community consultation through various avenues and this may mean using commercial providers to facilitate this process.
Conclusion The policies identified above support the need to assist elected members in quality and effective decision making, whilst also being mindful of their role as a councillor and the responsibilities they take on representing their community and ward.

9.5 BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR THE POINT SAMSON VOLUNTEER BUSH FIRE BRIGADE
File No: CR.39
Attachment(s) Nil
Responsible Officer: Emergency Management Officer Author Name: Emergency Management Officer Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE
To advise Council of a donation being received from Rio Tinto to the value of $175,000. The donation to the Shire of Roebourne is for the purpose of providing Point Samson Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade (PSVBFB) with a new fire appliance. The donation will be given to Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA) to expedite the upgrade of the Brigade‘s appliance by purchasing a new 1.4 fire appliance. This will allow a more efficient and effective fire response within the Shire of Roebourne.
Background
Point Samson Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade is a Shire managed Brigade and resource. Captain Robert Vitenbergs has endeavoured to expedite the upgrade of the brigade‘s appliance by seeking funding from Rio Tinto to purchase a new 1.4 fire appliance. Rio Tinto has advised that they will assist the brigade with a donation in the order of $175,000.
The Point Samson Bush Fire Brigade is currently equipped with a refurbished light tanker that is overdue for replacement. A refurbished dual-cab 1.4 appliance was allocated to the Brigade in the 2009/10 ESL vehicle replacement programme but has not been delivered due to a shortage of suitable platforms for refurbishment.
The brigade is very keen to progress the upgrade to a dual-cab 1.4 as the limitations currently imposed on them by their single cab appliance is reducing their operational efficiency by limiting them to a two fire fighter response to incidents
Issues The funding notification for the donation occurred in February 2011. The $175,000 donation and corresponding expenditure was not included in the 2010/11 Budget.
Options Council has the following options available: 1. Council agree to receipt the Rio Tinto donation of $175,000 and to pass the donation onto Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA) to enable the 1.4 fire appliance to be built; And 2. Create Income account number 202701 ―Donation – Point Samson VBFB‖ and Expenditure account number 202201 ―Point Samson VBFB Fire Appliance‖ for income and corresponding project expenses and amend the budget accordingly. Or
1. Council resolve not to accept the Rio Tinto donation for the fire appliance.
Policy Implications
63
There are no relevant policy implications pertaining to this matter.
Legislative Implications Nil
Financial Implications A budget amendment resolved by Absolute Majority will be required.
Conclusion It is proposed that the following will occur to obtain the donation:
The Shire accepts Rio Tinto‘s offer to fund a new 1.4 fire appliance;
The funds are accepted by the Shire from Rio Tinto;
The funds are transferred from the Shire to FESA to manage the appliance build to FESA specifications;
The existing PSVBFB Light Tanker is returned to FESA when the new 1.4 fire appliance is delivered (per current ESL vehicle replacement process);
The 1.4 fire appliance is incorporated into the ESL operating and fleet replacement programs; and
Rio Tinto to fit sponsorship material to fire appliance and Brigade shed if required.
Voting Requirements Absolute.

Operating revenue is above the year to date budget by $705,529 which represents a positive variance of 1.23%.
Operating Expenditure is under the year to date budget by $15,264,311 which represents a negative variance of 31.62%. In accordance with the materiality threshold adopted by Council for the reporting of variances by programme in the Statement of Financial Activity, the following comments are made to provide an explanation of the above variances. General Purpose Funding Revenue Revenue up of 16.64% ($678,349) due to additional interest on reserves Term Deposits brought to account to April 2011 due to cash flow requirements on major projects $766,859. Excess rates adjustment brought forward of $174,482. Lower than expected Interest on Municipal Investments due to lower interest rates YTD $40,249. Lower than Budget Ex Gratia rates contribution invoiced YTD $60,000. Expenditure Expenditure is showing a variance down of 0.39% ($1,644) which is an immaterial variance to report.

10.3 LOAN 96 - COSSACK INFRASTRUCTURE
File No: FM.16
Attachment(s) Indicative Loan Termination - Treasury Corporation
Responsible Officer: Director Community And Corporate Services Author Name: Executive Manager Corporate Services Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE To consider the repayment of Loan 96 – Cossack Infrastructure inclusive of ‗early payment premium‘.
Background Loan 96 – Cossack Infrastructure $1,300,000 was drawn down 21 April 2005 from Western Australian Treasury Corporation as part of Council‘s plan to secure matching funds from the State Government for the future development of Cossack as a town.
Issues Council has expended $357,800 of the Loan Funds to procure Electrical Cable .................................................................................................... $224,565 Fibre Access Point .................................................................................................$40,931 Telstra Extended Network ......................................................................................$70,000 Various other equipment , planning and preparation for the Cossack Infrastructure Project ......................................................................$22,304 Audited unspent Loan Funds 2009/2010 ........................................................... $942,200 As at 21 April 2011 the remaining Debt Balance to Western Australian Treasury Corporation was $911,181.56, reflecting that the Loan Repayments are now effectively being funded by the Unspent Loan Portion. Advice from Departmental Officers has confirmed that, upon settlement of Loan 96 - Cossack Infrastructure, the utilisation of the equipment procured for Cossack Infrastructure can be utilised on other Shire projects (or disposed off) as they are no longer tied to borrowings. This would enable for the Electrical Cable to be considered, without requirement for a Change of Purpose for Borrowings, for utilisation in the Karratha Airport Electrical Upgrade project
Options Council has the following options available: 1. Repay the outstanding balance of Loan 96 – Cossack Infrastructure 2. Maintain Loan 96 – Cossack Infrastructure for its intended purpose 3. Repurpose Loan 96 – Cossack Infrastructure via the 2011/12 Budget
Policy Implications Council can reconsider financing future development of Cossack when required.
98
Legislative Implications Local Government Act 1995 Subdivision 3 — Borrowings 6.20. Power to borrow(3) Where a local government has exercised a power to borrow
and — (a) it does not wish to proceed with the performance of the
function or the exercise of the power for which the power to borrow was exercised; or
(b) after having completed the performance of the function or the exercise of the power for which the power to borrow was exercised, any part of the money borrowed, credit obtained or financial accommodation arranged has not been expended or utilized, the local government may resolve* to expend the money or utilize the credit or financial accommodation for another purpose if one month‘s local public notice is given of the proposed change of purpose. * Absolute majority required.
(4) A local government is not required to give local public notice under subsection (3) —
(a) where the change of purpose has been disclosed in the annual budget of the local government for the relevant financial year; or
(b) in such other circumstances as are prescribed. (5) A change of purpose referred to in subsection (3) is to be
disclosed in the annual financial report for the year in which the change occurs.
Financial Implications An indicative Loan Termination amount of $933,462.58 has been supplied for Council consideration with a settlement date of Wednesday 6 July 2011. Interest payments of $278,814 will be saved from the early payment of the Loan.
Conclusion In the absence of current costings and timeframes for the construction of Cossack Infrastructure it is recommended that the balance of Loan 96 – Cossack Infrastructure is repaid to Western Australian Treasury Corporation.
Voting Requirements Simple.
OFFICER‘S RECOMMENDATION
That Council: Resolves to include the repayment of outstanding Loan 96 – Cossack Infrastructure funds in the Draft 2011/2012 Budget based on the Western Australian Treasury Corporation Indicative Loan Termination of $933,462.58 for settlement on Wednesday 6 July 2011.

11.1 ALTERNATIVE NAMING FOR BAYNTON FAMILY CENTRE
File No: CP.187
Attachment(s) 1. Council Policy CS9
2. Email Supporting Pam Buchanan
Responsible Officer: Director Community And Corporate Services
Author Name: Manager Community Facilities Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE To review the naming of the Baynton Family Centre, under Council Policy CS9 (Naming of Parks, Reserves and Buildings), in light of late submissions.
Background. The process for naming Council facilities is detailed in Council policy CS9 (Naming of Parks, Reserves and Buildings), which was recently revised at the OCM of March 2011. The current iteration of Council Policy CS9 can be viewed as attachment 1 which outlines all criteria. During February 2011, Officers invited community nominations for the naming of the then titled ―Baynton West Family Centre‖ located on the corner of Gardugarli Drive and Marri Marri Parade . During this period, one (1) submission was received in the allocated period, and a further submission was received several days late. The late submission was dismissed and not presented at the March OCM. Following the March OCM, Council‘s resolution was;
―That the naming of the Baynton West Family Centre be deferred until the April 2011 Ordinary Council Meeting so that further investigation into naming options may be undertaken.‖ Res No: 151553
Officers presented Council with a variety of marketable and logical names at the April OCM, and made no reference to the previous applications (either correctly or incorrectly received). Following this report Council resolved to;
―..name the facility located on the corner of Gardugarli Drive and Marri Marri Parade the ―Baynton Family Centre noting that the name does not meet existing criteria identified in Policy CS9 (Naming of Parks, Reserves and Buildings), however, the name is both logical in term of the location and function of the proposed community facility.‖ Res No: 151589
It should be noted that during the March/April period, Council endorsed a revised policy CS9 (Naming of Parks, Reserves and Buildings), which allowed more flexibility in regards to naming facilities. As a result the late submission originally received in early March, and the endorsed name of Baynton Family Centre, now met the criteria of policy CS9. Officers feel in terms of fairness and probity, the late submission should be heard by Council.
101
Issues The late submission was supporting the nomination of Pam Buchanan. The nomination of Pam Buchanan will be assessed against the criteria associated with Re-naming existing facilities, which includes, but not limited to, the below criteria;
Criteria Justification
Person is considered to be of worthy honour. From 1967 to 1976, Buchanan worked as a pre-school administrator at Roebourne, Western
Australia, and during this time ran two kindergartens for indigenous children. She was
also in charge of the Aboriginal Adult Education centre. Later she worked as senior personnel secretary at Cliffs Robe River Iron Associates,
and then as electorate assistant to Peter Dowding (Member of the Legislative Council) at
the Karratha office, it was following this in 1976 when Pam began a career in Politics.
During her parliamentary career Pam Buchanan demonstrated a strong commitment to equal
opportunity, and had a particular empathy for the unique problems faced by Australia‘s indigenous
population. Pam had also personally experienced discrimination in the workplace (denied a promotion because she was a woman) and
vigorously supported the Equal Opportunity Bill in 1984. Pam fought to arrest the spiralling cost of
goods in her isolated northern electorate, which was largely a problem of transport costs.
. Made a significant contribution to the local
community (i.e. two or more full terms in State/Federal Parliament).
Pam Buchanan entered Parliament in 1983 when
she was elected for the seat of Pilbara with a swing of 18%. She was the first woman to win
Pilbara, which was considered a ‗tough‘ seat in a largely pastoral and mining electorate.
Pam resigned from the ALP in 1990 after losing her Cabinet position in a ministerial reshuffle,
standing then as an Independent. Ill health forced Buchanan to retire from Parliament in early 1992,
around a month before her death in March 1992.
Options Given Council‘s decision to name the facility during the OCM of April 2011, was based on function/purpose/location, both the current name of Baynton Family Centre and the submission of Pam Buchanan, meet the criteria as per Council Policy CS9. Hence Council has the option to; 1. That Council retain the current name for the facility located on the corner of Gardugarli
Drive and Marri Marri Parade as the Baynton Family Centre; OR 2a) That Council considers to rescind resolution number 151589 of the April 2011 Ordinary
Council Meeting, naming the facility located on the corner of Gardugarli Drive and Marri Marri Parade as the Baynton Family Centre; (Absolute Majority)
102
AND 2b) That Council rescind resolution number 151589 of the April 2011 Ordinary Council
Meeting, naming the facility located on the corner of Gardugarli Drive and Marri Marri Parade as the Baynton Family Centre; (Absolute Majority)
AND
2c) That Council name the facility located on the corner of Gardugarli Drive and Marri Marri Parade as the Pam Buchanan Family Centre. (Simple Majority)
OR
3a) That Council considers to rescind resolution number 151589 of the April 2011 Ordinary Council Meeting, naming the facility located on the corner of Gardugarli Drive and Marri Marri Parade as the Baynton Family Centre; (Absolute Majority)
AND 3b) That Council rescind resolution number 151589 of the April 2011 Ordinary Council
Meeting, naming the facility located on the corner of Gardugarli Drive and Marri Marri Parade as the Baynton Family Centre; (Absolute Majority)
AND
3c) That Council name the facility located on the corner of Gardugarli Drive and Marri Marri Parade as the Pam Buchanan Baynton Family Centre. (Simple Majority)
Policy Implications CS9 – Naming of Parks, Reserves and Buildings.
Legislative Implications In relation to Council‘s ability to rescind or revoke a motion, the following applies;
1) Section 5.25 of the Local Government Act 1995 2) Regulation 10 of the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996
Financial Implications Nil.
Conclusion Councils Community Facilities Department is presenting options regarding the naming of the facility located on the corner of Gardugarli Drive and Marri Marri Parade in line with Council Policy CS9 (Naming of Parks, Reserves and Buildings). Officers suggest that Council resolve as per Option 1 of this report and retain the name of the facility as the Baynton Family Centre. The Officers recommendation supports a consistent approach from the administration to name facilities that reflect a function and location description as identified in previous reports.
Voting Requirements Simple.
OFFICER‘S RECOMMENDATION
That Council: Retain the current name for the facility located on the corner of Gardugarli Drive and Marri Marri Parade as the Baynton Family Centre.

11.2 BAYNTON FAMILY CENTRE - CAFE TENDER G16 - 10/11
File No: CM.43
Attachment(s) Nil
Responsible Officer: Director Community and Corporate Service Author Name: Manager Community Facilties Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE To consider options regarding the tenancy of the Baynton Family Centre Cafe Module, following a formal Tender process.
Background At the Ordinary Council Meeting of November 2010 Council resolved under resolution number 151396 to;
―3. Approve criteria as detailed in the report for selecting a commercial entity to lease and operate the Cafe component (Retail Lease) for a lease term of 5 years & 5 years, AND 7. Delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate lease fees with potential tenants in order to obtain an optimal balance of cost recovery and community benefit, with a further report presented to Council once negotiations have been finalized by the CEO;....‖
As the projected gross income for the cafe module and the proposed lease fee were both in excess of $100,000, the Local Government Act (section 3.58) states a formal Tender process is required. Officers proceeded with the Tender process and the documents were initially advertised in the West Australian Newspaper on the 30th April 2011 and released to the market on the 2nd May 2011, the submission closed on the 25th May 2011. The proposed Lease fee for the cafe module was derived through market analysis, regarding commercial operations and local modelling. Officers based the lease fee on a square metre rate of $550, which was consistent with local commercial modelling at the time of Tendering.
Issues The Tender documents were requested by the following entities; Organisation Date Collected
Amy Troy 3rd
May 2011
Jaskarandeep Singh 10th May 2011
Bev White 13th May 2011
Following the Tenders formally closing on the 25th May 2011, no Tender submissions were received. Officers have since made contact with the organisations that requested the Tender documents and requested feedback regarding why they did not choose to submit and if they
108
are willing to negotiate with Council regarding the management of the premises. This feedback is detailed in the table below; Organisation Reason not to submit Willing to negotiate with SoR
Amy Troy Currently not in Hospitality
industry and doesn‘t have a business plan in place for
potential Cafe operations.
Yes. Very Interested
Jaskarandeep Singh N/A N/A
Bev White Too busy to submit documents
in a quality that felt acceptable. Additional concerns over
attracting and retaining staff
Yes. Very Interested
As no submissions were received through formal Tender process Council now has the ability, under Section 3.58 of the Local Government Act, to negotiate with the market. Officers suggest further negotiations with the wider market should be explored for Council to include duplicating Cafe management with other vacant facilities with in the facility.
Options Council has the following options available:
1. Direct the Chief Executive Officer to commence negotiations with the wider market, in relation to the management of the Baynton Family Centre Cafe module, and report back to Council with findings and recommendation in July 2011. OR
2. To reject all recommendations and provide alternative direction through the Chief Executive Officer.
Policy Implications Nil
Legislative Implications Section 3.58 of the Local Government Act 1995 as outlined below: Disposing of property 3.58. (1) In this section — ‗‗dispose‘‘ includes to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of, whether absolutely or not; ‗‗property‘‘ includes the whole or any part of the interest of a local government in property, but does not include money. (2) Except as stated in this section, a local government can only dispose of property to — (a) the highest bidder at public auction; or 72 Local Government Act 1995 s. 3.58 (b) the person who at public tender called by the local government makes what is, in the opinion of the local government, the most acceptable tender, whether or not it is the highest tender. (3) A local government can dispose of property other than under subsection (2) if, before agreeing to dispose of the property —
109
(a) it gives Statewide public notice of the proposed disposition — (i) describing the property concerned; (ii) giving details of the proposed disposition; and (iii) inviting submissions to be made to the local government before a date to be specified in the notice, being a date not less than 2 weeks after the notice is first given; and (b) it considers any submissions made to it before the date specified in the notice and, if its decision is made by the council or a committee, the decision and the reasons for it are recorded in the minutes of the meeting at which the decision was made. (4) The details of a proposed disposition that are required by subsection (3) (a) (ii) include — (a) the names of all other parties concerned; (b) the consideration to be received by the local government for the disposition; and (c) the market value of the disposition as ascertained by a valuation carried out not more than 6 months before the proposed disposition.
Financial Implications Council should note that the conditions originally set out during the Tender process relating to financial responsibilities are unlikely to be retained if Council consider negotiations.
Conclusion The management and operation of the Baynton Family Centre – Cafe module was formally Tendered through the month of May 2011. Three (3) organisations collected the Tender documents; however no submission were received by the Shire. Council now has the ability through the Local Government Act (section 3.58) to explore a variety of options. Officers would suggest negotiating with the market to explore all option available to Council.
Voting Requirements Simple.
OFFICER‘S RECOMMENDATION
That Council: Direct the Chief Executive Officer to commence negotiations with the wider market, in relation to the management of the Baynton Family Centre Cafe module, and report back to Council with findings and recommendation in August 2011.

11.3 BULGARRA SPORTING PRECINCT TENNIS COURTS FLOODLIGHTS
UPGRADE
File No: PK.2
Attachment(s) Map of Tennis Courts
Responsible Officer: Director Corporate And Community Services Author Name: Strategic Projects Administration Coordinator Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE To consider an allocation in the 2011/12 Budget to enable approval of a variation to the budget and possible variation to the scope of works for works undertaken for the upgrade of the Bulgarra Oval, in particular the tennis court project.
Background At the meeting of Council held on the 6/12/10 Item 8.3 addressed the budget amendments for the Bulgarra Sporting precinct project. Resolution 151440 determined that the budget for the Electrical and Floodlighting project was to be established as follows: Total Project Budget $1,824,841 This was apportioned to the various elements of the contract as follows: Electrical upgrading $1,030,640 Softball Floodlighting $ 518,201 Netball Floodlighting $ 96,000 Tennis Court Floodlighting $ 180,000 In addition to this Council approved the sum of $90,000 for Project Management costs and various fees and charges. With respect to the Netball/Tennis Court floodlighting the expenditure thus far has been $40,343 to relamp the netball courts. This is the contract cost and does not include various fees and charges which amount to an additional 15% or $6,000. The contract with O‘Donnell Griffin to provide the Bulgarra Sporting Precinct Floodlight and Electrical Upgrade included a Provisional Sum allowing $180,000 for the removal of existing tennis court lighting, and installation of new floodlighting complete with poles and footings. The quote for these works has come in higher than was anticipated at a total $340,000.
Issues The original estimate for the provision of Tennis Courts Floodlights was compiled by the supplier of the floodlights and poles using costs applicable to the Perth area. This cost was then escalated by 30% to allow for transportation, travel, accommodation and the higher local charges for cranage and materials. The floodlighting contractor has since begun installing the floodlight poles for the Softball Diamonds and during this process has encountered difficulties in procuring accommodation, higher than anticipated concrete costs, labour costs and steel pricing.
111
Another factor has been the higher than anticipated pole costs due to the cyclonic rating required and the electrical contractors‘ costs for installation of the cabling. These items were not designed for the Tennis Court Floodlights at tender stage. The initial costing was based on a two day installation, however due to the conditions referred to above and detailed in the attached letter this has been extended to nine days. The supplier of the floodlights and poles has indicated it will take three months from order date to receive and install the Tennis Court Floodlights. This time delay has led to the Tennis Court Floodlights being flagged for inclusion in the 2011/12 Draft Budget. Due to the significant increase in the projected costs for the tennis club lighting project, Officers from the Community Facilities division undertook to revisit the nature of the project with the tennis club and to reassess the club‘s view of the priorities for capital works within the club. The club has clearly articulated their priorities as:
1) Court resurfacing (in priority order court 3, 4, 1 and 2) see attachment 2) Court lighting 3) Court resurfacing (in priority order court 7 and 8)
Cost estimates have been obtained and based upon the proposed budget amendment for the lighting project being $340,000 officers believe that four (4) courts could be resurfaced will courts 3 and 4 lighting being upgraded to current Australian standards. Project budget may be summarised as- Individual Court resurfacing cost $25,000 plus 65% Karratha loading = $41,250 Four court resurfacing $165,000 Removal and disposal of existing court coverings $10,000 Relamp the existing light poles on all courts $50,000 Contingencies (10%) $22,500 Project management fees $15,000 Total project budget $262,500
Options Council has the following options available:
1) Agree to a revised budget of $840,000 (inclusive of project management and consultancy fees) for the completion of the Bulgarra Sporting Precinct Tennis Court Floodlights and include in the 2011/12 Draft Budget for consideration.
Or
2) In view of the consultation with the local tennis club and the associate priorities for the upgrading of the Bulgarra Sporting Precinct tennis courts, Council may consider to change the project scope of works to incorporate the resurfacing of the 4 western artificial sand filled tennis court surfaces and relamp lighting at a project cost of $262,500. This option will require a budget amendment of $22,248 with the required funds accessed from the Infrastructure reserve
Or 3) Change the project scope of works to incorporate the resurfacing of the 4 western artificial sand filled tennis court surfaces and select one of the lighting options below.
112
3a Provide new floodlight installations to two courts together with the
necessary underground wiring for all courts to provide for progressive
upgrading. Or
$150,000
3b Provide new floodlight installations to four courts together with the necessary underground wiring for all courts to provide for progressive upgrading. Or
$220,000
3c Provide new floodlighting to competition standard for all courts $340,000
4) Not approve the Variation for supply and installation of the Tennis Court Floodlights
at the Bulgarra Sporting Precinct and go to tender at a later date. 5) Not approve the variation for the Tennis Club lighting project and do no works to the
tennis courts and consider the upgrade of the facility at a future date.
Policy Implications There are no relevant policy implications pertaining to this matter.
Legislative Implications As per Local Government Act 1995 sec 6.8 changes to budgets need to be authorised in Advance by resolution.
A local government is not to incur expenditure from its municipal fund for an additional purpose except where the expenditure – 1. (a) is incurred in a financial year before the adoption of the annual budget by the
local government; 2. (b) is authorised in advance by resolution*; or
(c) is authorised in advance by the mayor or president in an emergency. Council is required to consider the Variation to enable this aspect of the Project to proceed.
Financial Implications
The Bulgarra Sporting Precinct Floodlight and Electrical Upgrade adopted by Council at the Special Meeting 6 December 2010 (Resolution Number 151440), totals $1,806,640. This budget has been revised as a result of the variations and Council is now asked to consider adopting an amendment to this budget inceasing to a total of $1,828,888. The changes are as follows
Budget Item Res# 151442
Proposed Budget Amendment Change
Softball Floodlights $500,000 $627,447 $127,447
Oval Electrical Upgrade $1,030,640 $872,023 -$158,617
Netball Floodlights $96,000 $66,918 -$29,082 Tennis Court Floodlights and courts $180,000 $262,500 $82500
$1,806,640 $1,828,888 $22,248
This amendment would result in an increase to the adopted Bulgarra Sporting Precinct Floodlight and Electrical Upgrade budget of $22,248. Council has received $1,500,000 in Royalties for Regions funding toward the Bulgarra Sporting Precinct Floodlight and Electrical Upgrade. The completion date for this project as per the Financial Assistance Agreement is June 2011. The Bulgarra Tennis Courts Floodlight Upgrade Variation (if approved) will not be completed until October / November 2011. As the approved aspects of the Project will have been
113
completed to the value of the Royalties for Regions funding the Tennis Courts Floodlights will be funded entirely by Council and proposed via the infrastructure reserve account.
Conclusion It is the officers recommendation that Council approve the scope of works for the Bulgarra Tennis club to be modified to accommodate the resurfacing of 4 tennis courts (at an indicative cost of $190,000) and the relamping of the existing lights (at an indicative cost of $50,000) at the facility. The total project cost is estimated at $262,500. This expenditure can be substantially accommodated within the existing budget with only a $22,248 shortfall requiring a budget amendment. The completion of the Tennis Court Floodlight and court upgrade will enhance the overall improvements being undertaken at the Bulgarra Sporting Precinct. While the majority of this expenditure may be accommodated within the existing budget, in order to allow this aspect of the project to be completed a budget amendment of $22,248 is required for the Bulgarra Sporting Precinct Floodlight and Electrical Upgrade. The budget allocation will be required to be identified in the 2011/12 Draft Budget with the additional funds to be allocated from the Infrastructure reserve account.
Voting Requirements Absolute.

11.4 LEASE FOR LOT 179 STURT PEA ROAD WICKHAM
File No: LS.7

REPORT PURPOSE Seek Council‘s intention in relation to the use of Lot 179 Sturt Pea Road Wickham, currently know as the Wickham Horse Riders Club.
Background Reserve 39140 which encompasses Lot 179 Sturt Pea Road Wickham is zoned for Equestrian purposes. Previously, Council had a 21 year lease with the Wickham Horse Riders Club for use of this reserve which expired on January 1 2007. At this time it was made aware to the Shire that the club was no longer in existence and a caretaker was residing onsite working with two individuals training horses for the Roebourne Race rounds as well as maintaining the premises. An enquiry was subsequently received from a member of the public indicating they were interested in leasing the reserve following the expiration of the Wickham Horse Riders Club lease. Discussions with the individuals currently utilising the facilities and the enquiring member of the public indicated that the caretaker was unwell and had no other living arrangements available to him. At this point it was agreed by all parties, that no further action on the reserve be taken until the situation with the caretaker was resolved. In June 2007, the Shire was notified that the caretaker had relocated and advertised publicly seeking expressions of interest from community groups or individuals who may be interested in utilising the reserve for equestrian purposes. One submission was received outlining the history of the club and identified the upgrades the applicants had made to the premises since utilising the facility. Council resolution 14227 agreed to enter into a 3 year lease agreement with the applicants, Michael Ball and Mick Reid at a peppercorn rental fee.
Issues The 3 year lease period expired on the 14th October 2010 and both Michael Ball and Mick Reid are seeking a new lease for the reserve to ensure the longevity of their not for profit equestrian activities. The submission attached, clearly articulates the history of the previous Horse Riders club, what maintenance, upgrades and programs have been undertaken by Michael Ball and Mick Reid over the past 3 years and a future vision for the reserve. This facility has engaged the community heavily with several local families involved with the horses and the upkeep of the premises. One of the main aims is to give the local youth the knowledge, skills and abilities in maintaining stables and the upkeep of horses.
116
The intentions of the previous lease agreement provided that the 3 year period would give the individuals the opportunity to establish and develop their operations as stated in their original submission. Following the conclusion of this period, if evidence could show that the operations have been conducted in accordance with the lease agreement a more substantial lease period would be sought. The submission attached to this report provides a clear indication of what has been achieved over the past years and is a strong case to extending the lease agreement. Additionally the submission attached details future plans by Michael Ball and Mick Reid to reinstate a not for profit association at this location for the purpose of equestrian education. This intention will become a condition of the lease. The previous lease agreement involved the payment of a $1 per annum rent. Given our current leasing arrangements with many community groups, it is fair to offer the use of this facility at a peppercorn rental. However to bring the term ―peppercorn rental‖ inline regarding a consistent fiscal amount, officers would recommend the amount $10 per annum. Officer are proposing to use the standard Lease agreement for community groups, developed by Kott Gunning, be utilised for this lease. In order to maintain Councils consistent approach when leasing community orientated properties, officers would suggest that the current proponents form an incorporated body so that the lease may be assigned not to individuals but to the incorporated body.
Options Council has the following options available: 1. Council state intention to enter into a lease with an incorporated body (to be formed by current tenants) for a period of 5 years with the option of a further 5 years at a peppercorn lease fee of $10 per annum with the both individuals responsible for all outgoings relating to the premises, and advertise intentions for a minimum of 2 weeks, with community submissions and proposed alterations to lease by proposed tenants be presented to the Ordinary Council Meeting of July 2011. Or 2. Council state intention to enter into a lease with an incorporated body (to be formed by current tenants) for a period of 10 years with the option of a further 10 years at a peppercorn lease fee of $10 per annum with the both individuals responsible for all outgoings relating to the premises, and advertise intentions for a minimum of 2 weeks, with community submissions and proposed alterations to lease by proposed tenants be presented to the Ordinary Council Meeting of July 2011. Or 3. Council state intention to enter into a lease with an incorporated body (to be formed by current tenants) for a period of 21 years at a peppercorn lease fee of $10 per annum with both individuals responsible for all outgoings relating the premises, and advertise intentions for a minimum of 2 weeks, with community submissions and proposed alterations to lease by proposed tenants be presented to the Ordinary Council Meeting of July 2011. Or 4. Council agree to alternative leasing conditions as amended
Policy Implications There are no relevant policy implications pertaining to this matter.

Financial Implications Financial Implications will be detailed in Ordinary Council Meeting of July 2011, following negotiations with proposed tenants.
Conclusion For the past 3 years, Michael Ball and Mick Reid have occupied the reserve to conduct equestrian activities in according with the vesting order. They have shown a long interest in the reserve and maintained the premises in accordance with their current leasing arrangements. Both individuals are working towards becoming an incorporated association to ensure longevity and provide a significant benefit to the community. In order to maintain Councils consistent approach when leasing community orientated properties, officers would suggest that the current proponents form an incorporated body so that the lease may be assigned not to individuals but to the incorporated body.

Application for Lease: Former: Wickham Horse riders‘ Club Address: 179 Stuart Pea Road Lot: 179 WICKHAM Reserve: 39140 Applicants: Michael Ronald Ball
Of 46 Jacaranda Place Wickham Mobile: 0408057226 Mick Reid Mobile: 0437510456
PO Box 1310 Karratha 6714 To the Shire of Roebourne Council Members The above named applicants would like to request that we be considered for an extension to the above mentioned lease beyond the current arrangement which expires in October 2010. Below is an outline out what has been achieved to the premises to date and future plans and developments. History Originally this lease was set up for the Pony Riders Association approximately 30 years ago. About 20 years ago Ronnie Mitchell moved onto the lease to care take and also to keep horses for training and racing purposes. For the past 5 years I have kept horses at the stables and have received training, knowledge and skills passed down by Ron with regard to the keeping and training of horses for the local Pilbara Race Round. Weeks before his death Ron asked that in his memory we carry on his work and that the stables be named ‗Bess Haven Lodge‘ after one of his favorite trained race horses should we be able to secure the lease for the future. Buildings Currently on the lease are living quarters for a Care taker (12 x 3 mtr), feed shed (40 x 3 mtr), tack room to house all horse equipment and safety gear, fully functional ablution block with access to running water which the shire assisted in putting in place in 2009, 8 horse boxes, a roll yard and 3 yards for general purpose grazing. Work Already Done We have continued to install steel fencing around the premises with lockable gates to ensure the safety of the public should a horse get out. Local community members who have a keen interest have been donating their time and machinery to clean up the surrounding areas for appreance and to minimize the risk of bush fires. We have established lawn and planted many fruit and native trees and shade areas around the property with the intent of minimizing the dust issues. We are very keen to continue on upgrading the facilities for both safety and appearance of the property. We have currently 2 horses which are used by children of all ages to come out and learn how to not only ride but feed, groom and look after their well being. Proposed Use and Vision
120
Bess Haven Lodges vision for the future is to continue on using the stables for the training of race horses, keeping of ponies and general hacks for hobby purposes. The ‗stables‘ has become a community involvement with quite a few families becoming engaged with the horses and the upkeep of the premises. The main objective is to give youth the opportunity to get out of town and to pass on our knowledge of how to run a stable, safe riding techniques and the responsibilities of keeping a horse. We encourage as many youth as possible to visit and participate. We would also like to further develop the Stables up to a standard in which we could offer other horse owners a place to house their animals which hopefully would encourage more participation at the lodge with having a secure and safe place to house horses. I have successfully gained my thoroughbred horse trainers license (held for two years) and have a full time professional jockey / horse breaker in Rosalyn Bynder (over 23 years of experience) who together over see all training / track work, and riding lessons. Currently we are working towards becoming an incorporated body to further strengthen the stables ability to attract more local kids. This will assist in insurances, riding equipment and feed which will enable the lodge to keep certain horses all year round. Further plans to develop the existing builds are a priority in attracting more people to the lodge;
Kitchen facility
Better living accommodation for over nigh stays
Ablution block to accommodate both male and female facilities.
Solar power energy – to run fridges, lights, etc Conclusion We are seeking Councils support in order to secure a long term lease on the premises from which we currently operate. As previously stated, we are working towards becoming an Incorporated Association to ensure our longevity and so that we can be of significant benefit to the whole community.

12.1 FINAL ADOPTION OF PROPOSED SHIRE OF ROEBOURNE TOWN PLANNING SCHEME NO. 8 AMENDMENT NO. 23 - WICKHAM MINOR OMNIBUS
File No: LP.47
Attachment(s) 1. Scheme Amendment Report
2. Four Submissions
Responsible Officer: Director Development, Regulatory and Infrastructure Services
Author Name: Manager Strategic Planning Services Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE
For the Council to consider the final adoption of the minor omnibus amendment to the Shire of Roebourne Town Planning Scheme No. 8 (TPS8) to reclassify and rezone various parcels of land in Wickham in order to correct inconsistencies between the current TPS8 zoning and reservations and the actual on ground development and to facilitate numerous infill development opportunities.
Background
The TPS8 Amendment No. 23 initiation request was received on 8 October 2010 submitted by Taylor Burrell Barnett Town Planning & Design (TBB) on behalf of Rio Tinto Iron Ore (RTIO). The Scheme amendment proposes the correction of a number of anomalies identified in the TPS8 map for the Wickham townsite. The proposed amendments are as follows: 1. Saltbush Court – Reclassification of part Lots 778 & 779 on Deposited Plan 31274 from
‗Parks, Recreation and Drainage‘ reserve to ‗Residential R30‘ zone. Although reserved, the parcels are currently developed for residential purposes.
2. Wickham Lodge - Reclassification of part Lot 369 on Deposited Plan 219421 from ‗Residential R20‘ zone and ‗Public Purpose (Education)‘ reserve to ‗Residential R50‘ zone. The parcel currently exhibits three (3) different zonings and contains RTIO‘s Wickham Lodge workers accommodation facility.
3. Jacaranda Place - Reclassification part Lot 788, Lots 789 & 790 on Plan 31274 and a
portion of Unallocated Crown Land from ‗Public Purposes (Energy)‘ reserve to ‗Urban Development‘ zone. Part Lot 788 currently contains an electricity supply switchyard and will in part remain reserved. Lots 789 & 790 are vacant and a rezoning to ‗Urban Development‘ is required to complement the Wickham South Development Plan area.
The various parcels of land the subject of the amendment have been identified in the course of detailed planning investigations for the Wickham townsite as part of the preparation of a Development Plan and Structure Plan to facilitate an expanded population in town. The
135
structure planning proposes to guide the expansion of Wickham to accommodate the additional workforce associated with the upgrade and expansion of RTIO‘s Cape Lambert Port operations. Council adopted the Wickham Structure Plan at its February 2011 Ordinary Council Meeting (OCM). The Scheme amendment was initiated by the Council at its November 2010 OCM. It was subsequently referred to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and on 8 March 2011 the EPA responded that the Scheme amendment was not required to be assessed under the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1986. Advertising of the proposed Scheme amendment commenced on 23 March in the Pilbara News for 42 days. The Scheme amending document was also referred to all relevant agencies with the following submissions being received:
Submission received from: Comment:
Department of Regional Development and Lands
No Objections or comment.
Water Corporation
Comment. Unable to fully support this amendment due to water supply constraints within the Shire of Roebourne however, it is acknowledged that the amendment will not result in additional pressures to water and wastewater services.
Department of Indigenous Affairs
Comment. No registered aboriginal sites within the Scheme amendment area. The developer is reminded of its obligations under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 with respect to any works that may directly/ indirectly impact on Aboriginal sites.
Department of Water No objections.
Issues
In making a decision whether to finally adopt TPS8 Amendment No. 23, Council should acknowledge and give consideration to all of the submissions received during the advertising period. Water Supply Again the Water Corporation has reiterated the growing pressure on the West Pilbara Water Supply Scheme to supple sufficient water to the towns and industry. This is further reinforced by Pilbara Cities Vision which will increase demand on the scheme. Although central to the sustainable development of the land, the supply of water and provision of waste water disposal infrastructure are matters that fall outside of the authority of the Shire of Roebourne. As such, the supply of water and provision of waste water disposal infrastructure should not prevent final approval of the amendment. This recommendation is compounded by the actuality that each parcel the subject of the amendment has an existing supply. Intensification of future use on each parcel may require upgrades to water and sewer connections. As such, it is recommended that the proponent continue to negotiate with the Water Corporation regarding the existing and future water supply to the site through the licensing procedure and development process.
Options
Council has the following options available:
136
1. To finally adopt the Scheme amendment without further modification; or 2. Not to finally adopt TPS8 Amendment No. 23.
Policy Implications
There are no relevant policy implications pertaining to this matter.
Legislative Implications
There are no relevant legislative implications pertaining to this matter.
Financial Implications
Based on historic instances of similar Scheme amendments, it is anticipated that the final Planning assessment fee will total approximately $1,500 which includes professional and administrative billing hours and disbursements (advertising etc.).
Conclusion
The proposed minor omnibus amendment to TPS8 is considered appropriate in order to correct minor anomalies in the Scheme map where development that has occurred on the ground is inconsistent with the existing TPS8 zoning and reservations. Furthermore, the rationalisation of land proposed by the reclassification of the numerous parcels provides RTIO with the opportunity to further expand the existing Wickham residential housing stock for the immediate short-term. The concern shown by the Water Corporation for the future provision of water in the West Pilbara should not be considered a limiting factor to the Shire when determining the Scheme amendment. The parcels subject of the amendment have existing water connections however, intensification of development of the sites would require standard negotiations with the Water Corporation. Given that no other issues were raised or objections received during advertising and further, that the Council has already resolved to support the amendment through its initiation at its November 2010 OCM, it is recommended that the Council finally adopt TPS8 Amendment No. 23 without modification.
Voting Requirements
Simple.
OFFICER‘S RECOMMENDATION
That Council resolves to: 1. Acknowledge the submissions received from the Department of Regional
Development and Lands, the Water Corporation, the Department of Indigenous Affairs and the Department of Water and;
2. Finally adopt the Shire of Roebourne Town Planning Scheme No. 8 Amendment
No. 23 without modification to reclassify land within the Wickham townsite described as:
3. Lots 778 & 779 on Deposited Plan 31274 from ‗Parks, Recreation and Drainage‘
reserve to ‗Residential R30‘ zone;
4. Part Lot 369 on Deposited Plan 219421 from ‗Residential R20‘ zone and ‗Public Purpose (Education)‘ reserve to ‗Residential R50‘ zone; and
137
5. Part Lot 788, Lots 789 & 790 on Plan 31274 and a portion of Unallocated Crown

12.2 FINAL ADOPTION OF PROPOSED SHIRE OF ROEBOURNE TOWN PLANNING SCHEME NO. 8 AMENDMENT NO. 24 - TAMBREY NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRE
File No: LP.74
Attachment(s) 1. Scheme Amending Report
2. Four Submissions
Responsible Officer: Director Development, Regulatory and Infrastructure Services
Author Name: Manager Strategic Planning Services Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE
For the Council to consider the final adoption of Amendment No.24 to the Shire of Roebourne Town Planning Scheme No. 8 (TPS8) to reclassify Lot 302 on Deposited Plan 53853 Tambrey Drive, Nickol from ‗Parks, Recreation and Drainage‘ reserve to ‗Urban Development‘ zone in order to facilitate the future development of the ‗Tambrey Neighbourhood Centre‘.
Background
The Scheme amendment request was received on 19 October 2010 prepared and submitted by TPG Planning and Urban Design on behalf of LandCorp. Reclassifying the land to ‗Urban Development‘ zone will enable the preparation of a Development Plan to guide the future subdivision and development of the land. The subject site has been identified historically as being suitable for the development of a neighbourhood centre in a number of strategic planning documents and plans including: 1. Karratha Area Development Strategy (1998) 2. Karratha Regional Hotspots Land Supply Update (2010) 3. Karratha 2020 Vision and Community Plan (2009) 4. Karratha Retail and Commercial Strategy (2009) 5. Karratha City Growth Plan (2010) The proposed neighbourhood centre is anticipated to support up to 8500m2 retail floor space and mixed used residential development. The implementation of a future Development Plan will facilitate the timely, orderly and proper delivery of a neighbourhood shopping centre that will provide the local community with greater retail choice, services, amenities and increased housing diversity. It should be noted that the Council has already initiated TPS8 Amendment No. 21 (City Wide Growth Strategy) that proposes reclassifying the same site to Urban Development (Development Area 7) for the purposes of the neighbourhood centre. Due to the complexity of Amendment No. 21, it is likely that some delays may be encountered in having the amendment finally approved. It is anticipated that Amendment No. 24 will assist in fast tracking the ultimate development of the site. At its December 2010 Ordinary Meeting (OCM) the Council initiated the Scheme amendment. Subsequently it was referred to the Environmental Protection Authority and on 21 March 2011 the EPA responded that the Scheme amendment was not required to be
160
assessed under the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1986. Advertising of the proposed Scheme amendment commenced on the 30 March in the Pilbara News for 42 days. The Scheme amending document was also referred to all relevant agencies with the following submissions being received:
Submission received from: Comment:
Department of Regional Development and Lands
No Objections or comment.
Water Corporation
No Objections in Principal. However can not fully support amendment at this point due to water supply constraints within the Shire of Roebourne. Future development shall incorporate elements to maximise water efficiency principles. Main water infrastructure available to the site. A main upgrade in Dampier Road is planned for the medium term. Waste water infrastructure available to the site.
Main Roads WA No Objections. Subject to no direct access from the development site onto Dampier Road and the proposed future development having any impact on existing drainage on and for Dampier Road.
Department of Indigenous Affairs
Comment. No registered aboriginal sites within the Scheme amendment area. The developer is reminded of its obligations under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 with respect to any works that may directly/ indirectly impact on Aboriginal sites.
Issues
In making a decision whether to finally adopt TPS8 Amendment No. 24, Council should acknowledge and give consideration to all of the submissions received during the advertising period. Water Supply Again the Water Corporation has reiterated the growing pressure on the West Pilbara Water Supply Scheme to supple sufficient water to the towns and industry. This is further reinforced by Pilbara Cities Vision which will increase demand on the scheme. Although central to the sustainable development of the land, the supply of water and provision of waste water disposal infrastructure are matters that fall outside of the authority of the Shire of Roebourne. As such, the supply of water and provision of waste water disposal infrastructure should not prevent final approval of the amendment. As such, it is recommended that the proponent continue to negotiate with the Water Corporation regarding the existing and future water supply to the site through the licensing procedure and future subdivision process. Vehicular Access onto Dampier Road The preparation of a Development Plan in order to guide the future layout and subdivision of the development forms a special condition of the assigned Development Area 7 TPS8 provisions. The developer would be expected to negotiate with all relevant government agencies and service providers to ensure that accurate preliminary planning is undertaken. It
161
is expected that Main Roads would advise that vehicular access cannot be provided onto Dampier Road and that the existing drainage regime on Dampier Road cannot be affected by the future development of the site. Notwithstanding, a formal referral by the Shire of the future Development Plan to Main Roads WA would form part of the statutory assessment. The opportunity will be provided for Main Roads WA to provide comments on the specific design of the development including road connectivity to Dampier Road and modifications to the Bathgate Road intersection (if necessary). A comprehensive Traffic Management Report shall also form a requirement of the Development Plan submission. Main Roads WA minor issues should not prevent the Council from finally adopting the Scheme amendment.
Options
Council has the following options available: 1. To finally adopt the Scheme amendment without further modification; or 2. Not to finally adopt TPS8 Amendment No. 24.
Policy Implications
There are no relevant policy implications pertaining to this matter.
Legislative Implications
There are no relevant legislative implications pertaining to this matter. Financial Implications Based on historic instances of similar Scheme amendments, it is anticipated that the final Planning assessment fee will total approximately $1,500 which includes professional and administrative billing hours and disbursements (advertising etc.). Conclusion The proposed reclassification of Lot 302 Tambrey Drive, Nickol to Urban Development (DA7) zone through Amendment No. 24 is considered appropriate in order to facilitate the ultimate timely development of the site for the purposes of the Tambrey Neighbourhood Centre pending determination of Amendment No. 21. The ‗Urban Development‘ zoning enables the preparation and submission of a Development Plan to properly guide the future development of the land. Reclassifying the land is another step in the implementation of the Karratha City of the North City Wide Growth Strategy and the land has historically been strategically identified through numerous planning studies for the purposes of a commercial and mixed use neighbourhood centre. It is therefore recommended that the Council finally adopt the Scheme amendment and request the Chief Executive Officer to forward the amendment to Western Australian Planning Commission and Minister for approval. Voting Requirements Simple.
OFFICER‘S RECOMMENDATION

Development and Lands, the Water Corporation, Main Roads WA and the Department of Indigenous Affairs and;

12.3 INITIATION OF PROPOSED SHIRE OF ROEBOURNE TOWN PLANNING SCHEME NO. 8 AMENDMENT 25 - LAND WEST OF KARRATHA DRIVE-IN
File No: LP.108
Attachment(s) Draft Scheme Amendment Report
Responsible Officer: Director Development, Regulatory and Infrastructure Services
Author Name: Manager Strategic Planning Services External Planning Consultant
Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE
For the Council to consider a request to initiate an amendment to the Shire of Roebourne Town Planning Scheme No. 8 (TPS8) to reclassify a portion of Unallocated Crown Land to the west of Lot 1090 Karratha Road, Stove Hill from ‗Conservation Recreation and Natural Landscapes‘ reserve to ‗Urban Development‘ zone with a corresponding Development Area number of ‗DA42‘ in order to facilitate the development of accommodation units on a portion of the site behind the Drive-in site development.
Background
The Scheme amendment request was received on 28 April 2011, submitted by TPG Town Planning and Urban Design on behalf of Greenvalley Asset Pty Ltd (see attached Scheme initiation report containing plans and supporting information). Reclassifying the land to ‗Urban Development‘ zone may enable the expansion of an accommodation unit development already approved on neighbouring Lot 1090 (former Karratha Drive In site) and will facilitate the preparation of a Development Plan to guide the future planning of the land. It should be noted that the Council has already initiated TPS8 Amendment No. 21 (City Wide Growth Strategy) that proposes to reclassify the same site to Urban Development (Development Area 42). Due to the complexity of Amendment No. 21, it is likely that some delays may be encountered in having the amendment finally approved. It is anticipated that this amendment will assist in fast tracking the ultimate development of the site. In addition, the Amendment No. 21 area for DA 42 was significantly larger than what is now proposed, as more detailed contour information has since been obtained. This contour information indicates that the majority of the DA 42 area as proposed under Amendment No. 21 is largely undevelopable as its topography and likely geology make it unviable for development. It is therefore proposed to limit the area of DA 42 to the ‗valley‘, which is potentially suitable for development, and leave the balance within its existing ‗Conservation and Natural Landscapes‘ reservation. Aside from amending the Scheme Maps to spatially reflect the Urban Development zone it is also proposed to amend Appendix 7 of the Scheme to include DA42 and appropriate provisions relating to what development can occur in the area. In this regard the following special conditions are proposed to be added to Appendix 7:
1. An approved Development Plan together with all approved amendments shall apply to the land in order to guide subdivision and development.
2. To provide primarily for environmentally and culturally responsive residential dwellings, transient worker accommodation, tourist accommodation and uses such
201
as educational, community, recreation, drainage and conservation can also be provided.
3. Development Plan(s) shall have respect for heritage sensitive areas, drainage lines and modeled buffer requirements to the adjoining power station.
4. Land uses classified on the Development Plan apply in accordance with clause 7.2.11.4.
These conditions are based on the Karratha City of the North Growth Plan and the provisions reflected in Amendment No. 21.
Issues
Amendment No. 21
As stated above, the proposed reclassification of the site to the ‗Urban Development‘ zone through Amendment No. 21 has already been initiated by the Council. Final approval of the amendment the subject of this report (No. 25) will assist in fast tracking the eventual development of the land, and minimises the area of Development Area 42 inline with the latest site information available. Reclassifying the land from ‗Conservation Recreation and Natural Landscapes‘ reserve to ‗Urban Development‘ zone will enable the submission of a Development Plan to guide the future planning of the site. It should be noted that rezoning all of the valley to Urban Development does not mean that it all can be developed as Council will still have control over any future development potential as part of the Development Plan and Development Application process. It is noted that the above provisions proposed to be added to Appendix 7 represent amendments to the DA 42 provisions as per Amendment No. 21, which stated that DA 32 (the northern foothills of the Karratha Hills) should be developed prior to DA 42, and that the main purpose of the area was to provide primarily for education purposes, however it is noted that the purposes mentioned in point 2 of the special conditions above were also listed as uses which could be provided. At the time of the preparation of Amendment No. 21 it was intended in the KCN document that the large western portion of the site, inside of the power station buffer (as discussed below), would be developed for education purposes and the eastern portion of the site would be developed for residential dwellings, transient worker accommodation, tourist accommodation and other such uses. As stated above, due to contour information which has since become available, the developable area been significantly reduced making it extremely unlikely the remainder of DA 42 as proposed under Amendment No. 21 will ever be developed. It is therefore considered appropriate that the requirement for the area to be developed primarily for education purposes be removed. When Amendment 21 was prepared, it was envisaged that DA 32 located to the north of the subject site, would be developed before DA 42 to form a logical extension of development from the Karratha town centre. However, as the Shire has since approved the development of neighbouring Lot 1090 for accommodation units, and the proposed rezoning will facilitate the logical extension of that development, it is therefore no longer considered necessary to preclude the development of the land west of the Lot 1090 in DA42 pending completion of development in DA 32. Amendment No. 21 will therefore need to be amended to reflect the subject Amendment No. 25. Power Station Buffer
A portion of DA 42 as proposed under Amendment No. 21 was located within the buffer to the existing Horizon Power Power Station to the south. Whilst DA 42 has been significantly reduced in size to remove significant areas from within the buffer, any Development Plan submitted will need to be accompanied by an appropriate buffer study report to demonstrate
202
the site‘s suitability for the development proposed. This is reflected in the Special Conditions proposed for DA 42. Native Title
The Ngarluma people are the original inhabitants of the coastal areas around Roebourne and hold Native title over this wider area, which includes the subject site. It is understood that discussions are currently being held with the Ngarluma people as traditional owners of the land and relevant approvals and agreements will need to be obtained prior to any Development Plan or development being approved.
Options
Council has the following options available: 1. To initiate the proposed Scheme Amendment No. 25 to reclassify a portion of
Unallocated Crown Land to the west of Lot 1090 Karratha Road, Stove Hill from ‗Conservation Recreation and Natural Landscapes‘ reserve to ‗Urban Development‘ zone.
2. Not to initiate the proposed Scheme Amendment No. 25 to reclassify a portion of Unallocated Crown Land to the west of Lot 1090 Karratha Road, Stove Hill from ‗Conservation Recreation and Natural Landscapes‘ reserve to ‗Urban Development‘ zone
The second option would not stop the Amendment No. 21 amendment process which includes the subject land.
Policy Implications
There are no relevant policy implications pertaining to this matter.
Legislative Implications
The process for amending the Town Planning Scheme shall be undertaken in accordance with the Planning and Development Act 2005 and associated Regulations.
Financial Implications
Based on historic instances of similar Scheme amendments, it is anticipated that the final Planning assessment fee will total approximately $1,500, which includes professional and administrative billing hours and disbursements (advertising etc.).
Conclusion
The proposed reclassification of a portion of Unallocated Crown Land to the west of Lot 1090 Karratha Road, Stove Hill from ‗Conservation Recreation and Natural Landscapes‘ reserve to ‗Urban Development‘ zone with a corresponding Development Area number of ‗DA42‘ is considered appropriate in order to facilitate the ultimate timely development of the site, and in response to the site constrains revealed since the initiation of Amendment 21. The ‗Urban Development‘ zoning enables the preparation and submission of Development Plan to properly guide the future development of the land. It is therefore recommended that the Council initiate the Scheme amendment and direct the Chief Executive Officer forward the amendment to the Environmental Protection Authority.
Voting Requirements

12.4 ENDORSEMENT OF KARRATHA VERNACULAR
File No: LP.110
Attachment(s) Nil
Responsible Officer: Director Development, Regulatory and Infrastructure Services
Author Name: Manager Strategic Planning Services Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE
For the Council to consider endorsing the Karratha Vernacular as a strategic reference document that will guide the ongoing revision of existing local planning policies and the formulation of new policies and to influence urban designers in their preparation of development plans.
Background
LandCorp in association with the Shire of Roebourne produced the ‗Karratha City of the North (KCN) Plan.‘ The plan is designed to guide the transformation of Karratha from a resource town with an estimated resident population of approximately 18,000 people to a new City of the North with a population 50,000 plus people. The KCN Plan describes the tasks required to undertake of a major city revitalisation program for Karratha. Key to the success of the overall transformation will be an almost complete regeneration of the existing urban form, much of which was designed to meet basic standards with only a 25 year lifespan and little respect for local circumstances such as the harsh arid climate and local culture. The transformation will include major restructuring and activation of the City Centre, densification and renewal of existing residential areas, and new residential, commercial and industrial growth areas. In order to achieve this transformation, thought was given to how the Pilbara can be built so that development acknowledges the uniqueness of the location, culture and climate. The aim was to do this by establishing principles and techniques aimed to deliver an appropriate built form or vernacular for the region. LandCorp appointed consultancy Hassell to prepare the Karratha Vernacular the Vernacular). After a rigorous peer review and consultation period, including a welcomed submission from the Shire Council and administration staff, the final draft of the Vernacular was released in late April 2011. (Due to the size of the document it is impractical to attach a copy to this report. A copy will be tabled at the Ordinary Council Meeting. Electronic copies have been made available to all Councillors and relevant staff)
Opportunities
It is considered that the Vernacular demonstrates an appropriate built form for Karratha that takes into consideration the unique attributes of the region including climatic responsiveness. All elements such as landscape, materiality, climate, culture, social wellbeing, and technology and innovation for the built form and public infrastructure have been considered and incorporated into the Vernacular‘s recommendations and perspectives. Endorsing the Vernacular will provide the Council with the opportunity to apply its recommendations and concepts when formulating new local planning policies and urban
239
design guidelines. This can in time enable a dramatic revitalisation of urban places within the Shire through built form and design responsiveness.
Options
Council has the following options available: 1. To endorse the Karratha Vernacular as a strategic reference document. 2. Not to endorse the Karratha Vernacular as a strategic reference document.
Policy Implications
If the Council endorses the Karratha Vernacular, all current Shire and future local planning policies should be drafted giving consideration to its recommendations.
Legislative Implications
There are no relevant legislative implications pertaining to this matter.
Financial Implications
There are no financial implications resulting from this report.
Conclusion
The Council is advised that the Karratha Vernacular holds no statutory weight but is instead a guiding document to inform statutory policy mechanisms and urban designers. The key objective of the Vernacular was to identify and capitalise on the unique elements the region offers through urban design and built form. By applying its recommendations through urban design policy, in time visitors and residents may experience a sense of place whilst in Karratha and the Shire as a whole. It is recommended that Council endorse the Karratha Vernacular.
Voting Requirements
Simple.
OFFICER‘S RECOMMENDATION
That the Council resolves to: 1. Endorse the Karratha Vernacular as a strategic reference document that aims
to guide the ongoing revision of existing local planning policies and the formulation of new policies and to influence urban designers in their preparation of development plans.

12.5 PARTIAL ROAD CLOSURE OF HAMPTON DRIVE, DAMPIER
File No: RD.26
Attachment(s) Location Plan
Responsible Officer: Director Development, Regulatory and Infrastructure Services
Author Name: Senior Statutory Planner Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE
For Council to reconsider an item that was placed before Council on 19 January 2004 and decide whether it wishes to formally proceed with a partial road closure of Hampton Drive, Dampier.
Background
At the ordinary meeting of Council on 18 August 2003 Council made the following resolution:
―To support the closure of an area of approximately 107m2 from the Hampton Drive Road reserve, to advertise the proposed closure in accordance with the requirements of the Land Administration Act and Regulations and to advise DPI accordingly.‖
The proposed road closure was advertised in accordance with the Land Administration Act and Regulations and no submissions from the public were received.
The proposal was then taken to the Ordinary Council Meeting of 19 January 2004 where Council resolved the following: “That Council resolve to request the Minister to permanently close a 107m
2 portion of
Hampton Drive, Dampier in accordance with the Land Administration Act and Regulations on the understanding that this land will be amalgamated into Lot 353
Hampton Drive, Dampier.”
The Shire forwarded the Council resolution to the Department of Planning and Infrastructure on 23 July 2004.
On 9 March 2011 the Shire received correspondence from the Department of Regional Development and Lands (State Land Services branch) (RDL) stating that the proposed
closure of this portion of Hampton Drive and sale of the land by the State to the adjoining land owner (RioTinto – Lot 353) did not proceed in 2005. The owner has recently requested to acquire the land and RDL has stated that they will resume the process unless there have been any changes since Council‘s resolution of January 2004.
Resuming the process simply requires the Shire to make comment that there are no issues that have changed the Council‘s position in relation to the road closure proposal and that Council is still supportive of the resolution as decided in January 2004.
The reason the item has been put before Council is to make Council aware of this recent recall by the proponent of this action that is some seven years since the resolution was made.
241
The attached plan shows the portion of road proposed to be closed.
Issues
As part of the road closure process outlined by the Land Administration Act and Regulations, Council must supply written confirmation to the Minister that it has resolved
to close the road permanently. The written confirmation to the minister was undertaken in 2004. Should Council again support the proposal the Shire will only have to inform RDL of this as all legal obligations of the Shire have previously been undertaken and still
stand. The proposed road closure will have no detrimental impact on the usability of the Hampton Drive Road Reserve or on traffic movements in the area. RioTinto is the
service authority for sewer, water and power in this area and through consultation with RioTinto, it is known that no infrastructure changes have occurred here that would impact on the need for reconsideration of this proposal.
Further to this, the road closure is being undertaken on the understanding that the portion of land to be excised from the road reserve is to be amalgamated into Lot 353. This will allow the existing terraced gardens and boundary fencing of Lot 353, which are
presently located within the road reserve, to be located within Lot 353. Effectively, this is a normalisation of the existing physical circumstance of the location.
As due process under the relevant legislation has previously been undertaken and no changes have occurred since the item was put before Council in January 2004 that warrant reconsideration, it is recommended that Council inform RDL of continued support for the proposal.
Options
Council has the following options available:
1. To provide the Department of Regional Development and Lands with advice that the Council supports the continuation of the previously initiated process of permanently closing this portion of Road Reserve within Hampton Drive, Dampier.
Or 2. To provide the Department of Regional Development and Lands with advice that
the Council does not support the continued progression of the permanent closure of this portion of Hampton Drive, Dampier.
Policy Implications
There are no relevant Policy implications pertaining to this matter.
Legislative Implications
There are no relevant legislative implications pertaining to this matter.
Financial Implications
There are no financial implications resulting from this report.
Conclusion
242
As the proposed road closure will have no detrimental impact on the usability of
Hampton Drive road reserve or on traffic movements in the area it is recommended that Council provide advice to the Department of Regional Development and Lands supporting the continued progression of the previously initiated process of permanently closing this portion of Road Reserve within Hampton Drive, Dampier.
Voting Requirements
Simple.
OFFICER‘S RECOMMENDATION
That Council resolve to advise the Department of Regional Development and Lands of support for the continued progression of the legislated process for the permanent road closure of a portion of Hampton Drive, Dampier on the understanding that this land will be amalgamated into Lot 353 Hampton Drive,
Dampier.

12.6 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DELEGATION TO KARRATHA CITY CENTRE INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS PLACE TEAM
File No: LP.110
Attachment(s) Place Team Terms of Reference
Responsible Officer: Director Development, Regulatory & Infrastructure Services
Author Name: Manager Strategic Planning Services Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE
For the Council to consider endorsing Terms of Reference and granting decision making delegation to the Karratha City Centre Infrastructure Works (KCCIW) Place Team for matters relating to the ongoing implementation of the KCN City Centre Master Plan.
Background
In November 2009 the state government launched its Pilbara Cities Vision, being ―to build vibrant cities that offer economic and social sustainability from one generation to the next; places that people will choose to live on a permanent and intergenerational basis; and with quality accommodation and services in line with other major Australian cities‖ marked a major turning point. In response to this vision, the Shire produced (in partnership with LandCorp), the ―Karratha City of the North Plan‖ (KCN Plan) - a roadmap to achieving a population of 50,000 people or more, through a process of targeted economic development intervention aimed at diversifying the economy, unlocking land for additional development and improving the overall amenity of the town. The KCN Plan consists of three parts being the ―Implementation Plan‖, the ―City Growth Plan‖ and the ―City Centre Master Plan‖. The City Centre Master Plan illustrates how the existing town centre can be modernised and transformed into a vibrant and attractive city centre. The vision is to promote a variety of residential, retail, commercial, civic and community amenities. It encompasses great urban design outcomes; a high quality public realm; diverse residential development providing more choice; and an increased density and scale of mixed-use developments. The current design of the town centre is dysfunctional. The layout of facilities, roads, parking and other amenities provides an uninviting and hot environment where there is a distinct lack of legibility to accessing the town centre. All areas of the town centre are dominated by vehicular traffic, have little or no landscaping or open spaces, and are dominated by many unsightly buildings. As a result the town centre‘s design actively works against positive community interaction and socialisation. In implementing the KCN City Centre Master Plan, modifications and upgrades to the City Centre Infrastructure is required. This will primarily consist of modifications and upgrades to the public road network (including some road realignments) and associated utilities infrastructure, streetscapes, drainage reserves and public open space. LandCorp is assisting the Shire to project manage these works. LandCorp has commissioned a project consulting team (Project Team) to assist in achieving the project deliverables. In parallel to the Project Team, the Shire has established the Karratha City
245
Centre Infrastructure Works Place Team to provide a direct project interface and collaboration between the Shire and LandCorp.
Discussion
It is intended that the Place Team will be delegated by Council with the key role of facilitating, on behalf of the Shire, the implementation of the KCCIW project in a pro-active and efficient manner. The Place Team will be the primary point of contact for the Project Team for anything to do with activities within the KCCIW project area, unless otherwise specified in the Stakeholder Engagement & Communication Strategy or other approved project governance documents. Responsibilities The major responsibilities of the Place Team will include: Working collaboratively with the Project Team to deliver the project deliverables; Providing technical advice to the Project Team; Sourcing and providing necessary inputs to assist with delivering project deliverables; To provide suitable advice to the Project Team on any approval processes required to
assist delivery of the project deliverables; Acting as an information conduit within the Shire administration; Providing advice and recommendations to the Project Team, and also to the Shire Chief
Executive Officer (CEO) and Council; and To provide leadership in relation to the implementation of the KCN City Centre Master
Plan, as adopted by Council. Membership The Place Team is comprised of the following Shire administration and technical officers: Position Title
Manager Strategic Planning Services (Chair)
Director Development, Regulatory & Infrastructure Services
Executive Manager Works
Manager Works and Technical Services
Parks and Gardens Co-ordinator
Manager Economic and Community Development
Senior Communications Advisor
Senior Statutory Planner
Extent of Delegation Generally the Place Team should consider and assess anything and everything that relates directly with the City Centre Infrastructure Works Project. This includes any technical details that require approval. The Council should consider concept type (principle based) matters unless there is a financial implication or a statutory matter that cannot be delegated by virtue of the various acts and regulations governing Council. The following table proposes the extent of delegation that the Place Team requires in order to effectively make timely decisions and also Council‘s ongoing authority: Place Team Decision Making Delegation Council Resolution Required

From time to time, matters or decisions may arise that the Terms of Reference does not identify. In this instance it is recommended that the Council grant delegation to the Chief Executive Officer to determine whether the Place Team can make a decision in accordance with the Terms of Reference or whether a Council resolution is required.
Options
Council has the following options available: Resolves to: 1.
i. Endorse the KCCIW Place Team Terms of Reference and grant the team the delegation to make decisions in accordance with the Terms of Reference.
ii. Grants the Chief Executive Officer delegation to determine whether matters
that aren‘t specifically addressed by the Terms of Reference either require Council resolution or whether the Place Team is delegated to decide on the matter in accordance with the Terms of Reference.
2. Resolves not to endorse the KCCIW Place Team Terms of Reference nor grant the
team delegation to make decisions on behalf of Council with respect to the implementation of the KCN City Centre Master Plan.
3. Resolves to request the Chief Executive Officer to amend the Terms of Reference to
demonstrate a revised table of decision making authority as determined by Council.

Conclusion
247
The key objectives of the Place Team Terms of Reference is to clearly distinguish the decision making roles of the Place Team and the Council and to establish Council‘s decision making delegation in order to ensure the effective and timely determination of matters relevant to the ongoing implementation of the KCN City Centre Master Plan. It is acknowledged by the Terms of Reference that the Council still holds the ultimate responsibility of maintaining its statutory function as the key decision making authority as well as reserving the authority to make critical decisions with respect to variations to the KCN plan. The political risk to Council is negligible as the Place team is chartered to function transparently and to maintain open communications with the Shire‘s executive officers and the Council on contentious matters. It is therefore recommended that the Council endorsed the KCCIW Place Team Terms of Reference and delegates decision making authority to the team in accordance with its terms.
Voting Requirements
Simple.
OFFICER‘S RECOMMENDATION
That the Council resolves to:
1. Adopt the Karratha City Centre Infrastructure Works (KCCIW) Place Team ‗Terms of Reference‘ in order to grant decision making delegation to the KCCIW Place Team with respect to the implementation of the Karratha City Centre Master Plan.
2. Grants the Chief Executive Officer delegation to determine whether matters that arent specifically addressed by the Terms of Reference either require Council resolution or whether the Place Team is delegated to decide on the matter in accordance with the Terms of Reference.
3. Advises the Chief Executive Officer that it may remove the Place Team‘s delegation by way of further resolution.

12.7 TENDER DISPOSAL OF PLANT
File No: PL.35
Attachment(s) Nil
Responsible Officer: Director of Development, Infrastructure And Regulatory Services
Author Name: Manager Plant And Depot Services Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE To seek Council‘s endorsement for the disposal of plant under delegated authority to the Chief Executive Officer.
Background Major plant acquisitions have been sourced via the WALGA preferred supplier panel and light vehicles via the Department of Treasury and Finance Common Use Arrangement contract (DTF CUA 37804). These methods provided far greater flexibility to negotiate with suppliers as opposed to undertaking a tender process ourselves. However, as the deemed value of the items that would normally have been traded with the tender process is greater than $20,000, there is a requirement under the Local Government Act 1995 for a market process to be undertaken in relation to the disposal of plant. Trade valuations were obtained for the majority of the plant as part of the process in obtaining quotations for the new plant. Where these valuations were greater that the $20,000 the required tender for disposal was carried out utilising WALGA Disposal Service.
Issues The tender process was advertised in the West Australian on 25th May 2011 however the results will not be available in time to report to Council. The request is to give delegated authority to the CEO thereby permitting council officers to dispose of the remaining plant issues from the 2010 / 2011 financial year in accordance with the best price arrangement obtainable. By going through this public tender process, the requirements of the Local Government Act will have been satisfied and the plant disposal process can flow on from the tender results rather than returning to Council for further authority.
Options Council has the following options available:
1. Give delegated authority to the CEO to accept offers for the outright disposal of the plant items
2. Decline to give delegated authority to the CEO and realise a loss of surplus plant / vehicle income of $347,000 within the 2010 / 2011 financial year and undertake the process in the next financial year being 2011/ 2012.
Policy Implications
There are no relevant policy implications to this matter.
Legislative Implications 3.58 Disposing of Property (1) In this section – “dispose” included to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of, whether absolutely or not;
252
“property” includes the whole or any part of the interest of a local government property, but does not include money. (2) Except as stated in this section, a local government can only dispose of property to – (a) the highest bidder at public auction; or (b) the person who at public tender called by the local government makes what is, in the opinion of the local government, the most acceptable tender, whether or not it is the highest tender. 5.42 Delegation of some powers and duties to CEO (1) A local government may delegate* to the CEO the exercise of any of its powers or the discharge of any of its duties under his Act other than those referred to in section 5.43 *Absolute majority required. (2) A delegation under this section is to be in writing and may be general or as otherwise provided in the instrument of delegation. [Section 5.42 amended nu No. 1 of 1998 s. 13 9.] 5.43 Limits on delegations to CEO’s A local government cannot delegate to a CEO any of the following powers or duties –
(a) Any power or duty that requires a decision of an absolute majority or a 75% majority of the local government;
(b) (b) Accepting a tender which exceeds an amount determined by the local government for the purpose of this paragraph;
Financial Implications Failure to finalise the disposal of sale plant and vehicles will realise a loss of surplus plant and vehicle income of $347,000 within the 2010 / 2011 financial.
Conclusion As the outcome of the WALGA tender is not currently available at this point in time, it is recommended that Council delegate authority to the CEO enabling the plant disposal process to be finalised.
Voting Requirements Absolute.

REPORT PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to seek Council support to vary Resolution Number 151491 in order to address various plant issues. Background At the Ordinary Council Meeting held the 20th of December 2010, Council resolved the following.
COUNCIL RESOLUTION Res No : 151491

Plant 16 – Lowboy 3 Axle Plant Trailer P35318 Reg No: 8RW113
Issues
Plant requirements have been investigated by staff to determine the best possible outcome and versatility for operational usage now and into the 2011 /2012 financial year.
Volvo L60E Loader (Plant No# P813, Registration No# R3746) Waste Services have requested that Council support the idea of retaining the Volvo L60E Loader (Plant No# P813, Registration No# R3746) which is currently due to be sold. This
254
unit was previously listed as part of the infrastructure construction plant. Council resolution No# 151491 resolved to delegate authority to the CEO for disposal (trade) of P813. The value of the arranged trade is $80,000. Council officers have investigated the plant options that can be used at the 7 Mile Waste Facility. The most recent option was to trade the Waste Services current Volvo Loader (Plant No# P8000) on a larger loader. This proposal would incur an additional cost to council of $300,000 after trade. The option of retaining P813 equates to a potential cost saving to Council on plant purchases proposed for the 2011/12 budget and allows Waste Services to have a back up plant item during times of breakdowns, repairs and maintenance. This option will also reduce the likely need and cost for the hire of additional plant. The use of an additional loader onsite will equate to faster tip face coverage and a more optimum ability to move cover and waste material on a site which is over 100 hectares. Waste Services see this option as adequate to service the requirements of site plant until business cases can be provided for the purchase of fit for purpose plant items. If Council agrees to this proposal rescinding part of resolution No#151491 is required. The above options were presented, considered and endorsed by the Plant Replacement Advisory Group (PRAG) meeting, held on 26 May 2011.
2000ltr diesel fuel tanker (Plant No# P952, Registration No# ITDU 798
The newly purchased Flocon Maintenance Truck uses large volumes of emulsion which is purchased in 205ltr drums. The disposal of these empty drums has become an issue. To reduce this problem council officers have sourced bulk emulsion locally and are now filling recycled empty 205ltr drums at the bulk emulsion filling point. This procedure is labour and plant intensive and is an Occupational Health and Safety issue.
During the 2010 / 2011 financial year budget process, Council listed the purchase of a new diesel fuel tanker for the construction crew (arrived). The old 2000lt diesel fuel tanker (Plant No# P952, Registration No# ITDU 798) can now be converted to be a mobile bulk emulsion storage tank.
This would allow council officers to bulk fill P952 with emulsion, then empty via the Flocon Maintenance trucks suction system, thus eliminate any further manual handling and 205ltr drums usage.
P952 will require new wheel bearings and minor maintenance which would be undertaken in house. The trade value listed within the 2010 / 2011 budget process against P952 is a minimal $300.00. Policy Implications. N/A Legislative Implications Section 5.25 (1) (e) of the Local Government Act 1995 allows a local government to revoke decisions.
5.25. Regulations about council and committee meetings and committees
255
(1) Without limiting the generality of section 9.59, regulations may make provision in
relation to — ...
(e) the circumstances and manner in which a decision made at a council or a
committee meeting may be revoked or changed (which may differ from the manner
in which the decision was made); ...
Regulation 10 of the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 states:
10. Revoking or changing decisions made at council or committee meetings — s. 5.25(1)(e)
(1) If a decision has been made at a council or a committee meeting then any motion to
revoke or change the decision must be supported —
(a) in the case where an attempt to revoke or change the decision had been made
within the previous 3 months but had failed, by an absolute majority; or
(b) in any other case, by at least 1/3 of the number of offices (whether vacant or
not) of members of the council or committee,
inclusive of the mover.
(1a) Notice of a motion to revoke or change a decision referred to in sub regulation (1)
is to be signed by members of the council or committee numbering at least 1/3 of
the number of offices (whether vacant or not) of members of the council or
committee, inclusive of the mover.
(2) If a decision has been made at a council or a committee meeting then any decision
to revoke or change the first mentioned decision must be made —
(a) in the case where the decision to be revoked or changed was required to be
made by an absolute majority or by a special majority, by that kind of
majority; or
(b) in any other case, by an absolute majority.
(3) This regulation does not apply to the change of a decision unless the effect of the
change would be that the decision would be revoked or would become substantially
different.
Financial Implications The loss of plant trade income in the 2010 / 2011 financial year amounts to $80,000 due to the retention of the Volvo L60E Loader (Plant No# P813) and the loss of plant trade income of $300 due to the retention of the old diesel fuel tanker (Plant No# P952). The Income account No# 420905 was listed to receive the income from both trade values. The total plant trade value loss of $80,300 would be realised by the Shire of Roebourne within the 2010 /2011 financial year. Options Council has the following options:
1. Rescind part of resolution No# 151491 and retain the Volvo L60E Loader (Plant No# P813) and not sell the old diesel fuel tanker (Plant No# P952).
2. Not rescind and dispose of (Plant No# P813) as per resolution No# 151491 and dispose of (Plant No# P952) as per the 2010 / 2011 adopted budget process.
256
Conclusion As Council officers are still in the process of determining plant requirements for the Waste Management Facility, it is logical to trial the two loader proposal rather than outlay additional capital for a machine that has not yet been trialled. This will allow the Waste Facility officer‘s further time to determine their plant needs and, with assistance from the Councils Mechanical staff, the opportunity to further examine the plant issues at hand and future plant requirements.
The conversion of the old diesel fuel tanker (P952) to an emulsion tanker will make operational procedures for road maintenance staff safer, easier and more productive as large amounts of emulsion can now be towed to areas having serious maintenance requirements. Voting Requirements Absolute majority required.
OFFICER‘S RECOMMENDATION 1 That Council considers to rescind part (2) of Resolution No 151491: By deleting from the list ―Plant 15 – Volvo L60E Loader P813 Reg No: R3746‖ (Absolute Majority required)

OFFICER‘S RECOMMENDATION 3 That Council:
1. Retains the Volvo L60E Loader (Plant No#813, Registration No# R3746) within
its current plant fleet for the usage by and at the Waste Management Facility, at an income loss to account 420905 of $80,000 within the 2010 / 2011 financial year.
2. Retains the old diesel fuel tanker (Plant No# P952, Registration No# ITDU 798)
to be decommissioned as a diesel fuel tanker and converted to an emulsion tanker at an income loss to account 420905 of $300 within the 2010 / 2011 financial year.

13 STRATEGIC PROJECTS
13.1 KARRATHA AIRPORT WATER AND WASTE WATER SYSTEMS UPGRADE
File No: CP.42
Attachment(s) 1. AECOM Concept Budget OPC and Design Cost
2. AECOM External Hydraulic Infrastructure Services Concept Analysis – Master Plan Upgrade
Responsible Officer: Director Strategic Projects
Author Name: Acting Airport Manager Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE To seek Council endorsement of the scope of works and agree to proceed to detailed design and documentation for the Karratha Airport Water and Waste Water Systems Upgrade Project.
Background The Shire of Roebourne is responsible for the entire water/waste water system at Karratha Airport. This system has been in place for a period of approximately 30 years. AECOM consultants were engaged in 2010 to undertake Stage 1 of this project involving the investigation and review of existing systems and to provide recommendations for upgrade works. AECOM have identified that the existing water and waste water systems have been poorly maintained, are approaching the end of their normal in-life service and no programmed maintenance is undertaken. AECOM recommend that the age and condition of much of the equipment means it is not economic to restore it and the most cost effective solution is to replace it where required. It is AECOM‘s recommendation that a strategic approach is undertaken to replace all aged and unmaintained equipment and bring up to Australian Standard. A copy of the Analysis report and concept plan report is attached to this Council report. Council is required to consider the scope of works required to upgrade the systems to enable the project to proceed to detailed design and documentation for tender.
Issues AECOM report The Karratha Airport External Hydraulic Infrastructure Services Concept Analysis – Master Plan Upgrade report identified seven key concerns with the water/waste water system:
1. Pressure within the Dampier water main is over double normal water system operating pressures – safety & reliability concerns;
2. Airport trunk main showing evidence of radial and longitudinal cracking due to pipework of differing material, age and condition and high thrust forces– reliability concerns;
259
3. Existing water storage is not in accordance with Australian Standards with respect to dedicated storage of domestic water and fire system water – compliance and reliability concerns;
4. Domestic water main has aged pipework and water used by hire car operations is significant – environmental, maintenance and asset replacement/strategy concerns;
5. Airport fire hydrant main has no coverage at front of terminal and pipework of differing material, age and condition - reliability, maintenance and asset replacement/strategy concerns;
6. Irrigation main has aged pipework – maintenance and asset replacement/strategy concerns; and
7. Sewer and waste drainage systems are at the end of their design life-span –environmental and reliability concerns.
Priority works are identified as being the provision of separate water storage tanks for domestic and fire fighting systems to meet Australian Standards (part of the Fire Hydrant, Tanks and Pumps package) and upgrade of the airport mains trunk line from Dampier Highway to the storage tank (part of the Town Mains Water package). The current 195 k/l water storage tank provides water to both the domestic main and the fire fighting main. Australian Standard 2419.1-2005 Fire Hydrant Installations requires 288 k/l of dedicated water storage for the provision of fire fighting installations. A single tank may be used but must include a central divider so that the domestic water system cannot use fire fighting system water, but the fire fighting system may draw on domestic water if required. The current water storage tank does not include this central divider. The Aviation Rescue and Fire Fighting Service (ARFFS) based at the airport is required to meet Civil Aviation Safety Regulations regarding water storage minima and refill times which are not being met by the current water storage tank. Further, the current storage tank is aged, showing evidence of deterioration and is not sealed at the top which does not prevent contamination of the water supply by animals. The Fire Hydrant, Tanks and Pumps works package also includes additional fire hydrants to meet the 90m spacing requirement between hydrants (some hydrants are located in excess of 90m apart) and inclusion of fire hydrants to the front of the airport terminal. Currently, fire hydrants are located on the airside of the terminal and near the hire car operators. The works package sees inclusion of 5 hydrants in the car park and along Norman Road. The airport mains trunk line is showing increasing evidence of approaching complete failure, with many instances of longitudinal pipe cracks seen over the past 12 months. Cracks are forming sue to the age and condition of the line and the high water pressures (up to 1700 kpa) exerted on the line. During November & December 2011 extended carting of water to keep the water storage tanks at useable levels occurred. Water cartage costs are approximately $100,000 for the 2010/11 financial year to date with an additional $26,000 in repair costs. Replacement of the line with Blue Bute piping able to withstand the pressures exerted is now considered critical. Current Status Identification of condition and issues of the water and waste water systems is now complete. Three concept plans have been provided on future layout of the systems as have indicative costs for 5 distinct works packages. Further development of detailed design and tender preparation for the works package/s requires Council endorsement of locations and estimated costs.

Cost implications and Project Budget Council initially allocated $2 million in the 2010/11 Budget to commence these upgrades. At its April 2011 Ordinary Meeting, Council amended the 2010 / 2011 Water & Waste Water Upgrade project budget for 2010/2011 to $1,000,000.
An estimated cost for each works package has been prepared and covers approximate construction costs (without a local factor %) and design costs. Costs exclude site preparation, Water Corporation headworks costs, contractor contingencies and preliminaries, trenching, transportation, storage, copper & steel cost fluctuations and reinstatement of penetrations. Prices are based on AECOM estimated rates received on 4 th May 2011 as follows.
Approximately $124,900 has been expended or committed to date on investigation and design works inclusive of upgrade works associated with the Car Park project.
The original project budget of $2m was established based on limited detailed investigation at the time. Using the AECOM estimates the following table provides a detailed project estimate for the full scope of works

Note: Water Corporation headworks charges are based on the airport coming under the Water Corporation‘s by-law service agreement charges. The Water Corporation is currently considering whether the airport should come under the major consumer service category due to the amount of water used annually, the flow rate and size of the pipe. Council need to be aware that charges for headworks will be greater if assessed to be a major consumer. Next Steps Council is now required to consider the scope of works required to upgrade water and waste water systems at the Airport, how procurement of the works will be undertaken, and confirm a revised project budget to enable the project to proceed. Given the level of detail and complexity in the water and waste water systems upgrade and the estimated costs to move to detailed design, it is recommended that tenders be called for design and construction procurement of the upgrade of the water and waste water systems. By procuring as a design and construction package, it will allow for less urgent aspects the design to be developed alongside any terminal redevelopment. Drainage, domestic water and recycled water in particular rely on detailed terminal designs to ensure sufficient water and waste water supply and systems in any new or larger terminal. The scope of works in the tender must give priority to the completion of Works Packages B and C in the 2011/2012 financial year. Completion of Works Package C (Town mains water) should also be aligned with the Dampier Highway duplication works to enable replacement of the line under the roadways whilst duplication works are being undertaken (if possible). This will also enable completion of the main line prior to consideration to a realignment of Bayly Avenue works which may be required to give access to some of the rotary hangar precinct allotments.
262
Options Council agrees to;
1. Instruct the Chief Executive Officer to prepare tender documentation to enable tenders to be called for the design and construction procurement of all stages of the Karratha Airport Water and Waste Water Systems Upgrade in accordance with the scope of works developed by AECOM.
2. Consider a sum of $4m In the 2011/2012 Draft Budget for the Karratha Airport Water
and Waste Water Systems Upgrade noting that a revised project budget of $6,108,600 will require further funding consideration in the 2012/2013 Budget which will be established upon the award of tender.
3. Note that a further report will be presented to Council to approve the Tender package prior to calling tenders.
OR 1. Agree to proceed to detailed design and documentation in a staged manner and list
an appropriate value of works in the 2011/2012 Budget. OR 1. Agree not to proceed to detailed design and documentation at this stage.
Policy Implications There are no relevant policy implications pertaining to this matter.
Legislative Implications There are no relevant Legislative implications pertaining to this matter. Due to the value of works tenders are required to be called in accordance with the Local Government Act.
Financial Implications Council will need to consider budget allocation for this project for the 2011/2012 financial year. It is suggested that any Budget allocation to be funded from Airport Reserve.
Conclusion
With Council endorsing tenders to be called for design and construction procurement of the Karratha Airport water and waste water systems upgrade, work can continue towards staged upgrading of water and waste water systems with critical non-compliant works in the first instance and developing less urgent works in line with terminal redevelopments.
Voting Requirements Simple.

Responsible Officer: Director Strategic Projects Author Name: Corporate Compliance Officer Disclosure of Interest: NIL
REPORT PURPOSE For Council to consider Ilha Pty Ltd‘s (Thrifty Car Rental) request to an extension of their existing lease over Lot 18 Bayly Avenue, Karratha Airport.
Background At the Council meeting held on the 16 August 2004, Thrifty Car Rental was granted a lease to operate a car hire and rental business at the Karratha Airport. The lease provides for an office in the terminal, leased land for offices and car bays for their hire vehicles. The lease consists of a lease term of 5 years with 2 additional options of 5 years each at the discretion of the Lessee. The lease commenced on 1st June 2005 and was due to expire on the 31st May 2010. The reason for the delay in taking up the first Option was a result of a request from Thrifty Car Rental to further develop Lot 18 Bayly Avenue. This was put to Council last month as per Item 13.5 presented at the Ordinary Council Meeting held on the 16 May 2011.
Issues
Within the existing lease agreement, Clause 3.2 states as follows:
3.2 Option of Renewal
If at any time of exercise of the option(s) contained in this clause 3.2 the Lessee has not failed to comply with any notice given by the Lessor to the Lessee requiring the Lessee to remedy a breach by the Lessee of the provisions of this Lease on the
Lessee‘s part to be complied with, the Lessee has the option of extending this Lease for the further term(s) specified in item 6 of the Schedule exercisable by written
request of the Lessee made not more than six (6) months nor less than three (3) months prior to the expiration of the term specified in item 4 of the Schedule, or the first further as the cause may be, at the same rental and upon the same provisions as
are contained in this Lease except this clause 3.2.
The Lessee has duly met their obligations of their lease and as per Clause 3.2 identified above, the Council cannot reasonably decline continuation of the lease unless the Lessee has defaulted in paying its lease or failed to comply with various aspects of their lease agreement. A Deed of Variation will also be created to include the new 77 car parking bays assigned to Thrifty Car Rental as part of the current lease agreement. Options Council has the following options available:
280
1. Approve the first Option to renew the head lease for a further term of 5 years; or 2. Deny the option to renew for a further term of 5 years
Policy Implications There are no relevant policy implications pertaining to this matter.
Legislative Implications The proposed lease meets the requirements with section 3.58 of the Local Government Act, 1995 and is inline with clause 3.2 of the Agreement that provides the Option to be exercised by the Lessee.
3.2 Option of Renewal If at the date of exercise of the option(s) contained in this clause 3.2 the Lessee has not
failed to comply with any notice given by the Lessor to the Lessee requiring the Lessee to
remedy a breach by the Lessee of the provisions of this Lease on the Lessee's part to be complied with, the Lessee has the option of extending this Lease for the further term(s)
specified in item 6 of the Schedule exercisable by the written request of the Lessee made not more than six (6) months nor less than three (3) months prior to the expiration of the term specified in item 4 of the Schedule, or the first further term as the case may be, at the same rental and upon the same provisions as are contained in this Lease except this clause 3.2.
Further provision is made within Clause 7.1 in regards to the surrender of lease in light of redevelopment of the site.
7.1 Lessor may require Surrender of Term
If at any time during the Term:
(a) the Premises are required by the Lessor for extension, renovation, refurbishment or re-development of the Airport; or
(b) the Lessor extends, renovates, refurbishes or redevelops the Airport Terminal and wishes the Lessee to maintain an office within the Airport Terminal; and
(c) the Lessor gives the Lessee not less than THREE (3) months notice of this requirement,
the Lessee must surrender this Lease.
Clause 7.2 and 7.3 further provides:
7.2 Offer to lease New Premises
The Lessor must offer to lease the New Premises to the Lessee in accordance with this
clause.
7.3 Acceptance or Non-Acceptance of Offer
If the Lessee by written notice to the Lessor given within 10 business days from the date of receipt by the Lessee of the offer referred to in clause 6.2:
(a) accepts the offer, then this Lease will be surrendered on a date agreed to by the
parties, taking into account when the New Premises will be available for the Lessee to fit-out or occupy;
(b) does not accept the offer, then: (i) this Lease will be automatically surrendered by the Lessee; (ii) the offer will lapse; and
(iii) the Lessee will have no further claim against the Lessor in respect of the New Premises or the surrender of this Lease.
The the proposed lease lease extension will be required to comply with the Local Government Act (1995)
Financial Implications The Shire receives an annual lease income of $58,388.88 through the contract and each anniversary is adjusted by CPI and/or regular revaluation.
281
Clauses 4.3 & 4.4 of the Lease Agreement also provide an additional income source for the airport based on the operator‘s turnover. Essentially, no later than one (1) month after the anniversary date of the commencement of the Term, an additional fee, being the amount (if any) calculated as follows:
AF = T – (R + $2,001.25)
Where:
AF = Additional fee T = an amount equal to 8.5% of Turnover R = rent payable for the relevant Lease Year
The Lessee‘s 2009/2010 financial year resulted in the Shire receiving a payment of $343,401.24 inclusive of GST. At the conclusion of the 2010/11 financial period, a invoice will be issued to the Lessee upon receival of an audited statement of the Lessee‘s operations. The car parking bays also will attract as of 1 July 2011 a lease fee of $4,000/bay, therefore generating an income of approximately $308,000 per annum.
Conclusion Council needs to observe the conditions of the lease agreement. Unless the Lessee has defaulted in meeting their obligations under the agreement, Council is obliged to follow through enabling the Lessee to take up the first option.
Voting Requirements Simple.
OFFICER‘S RECOMMENDATION
That Council approves:
1. Ilha Pty Ltd (trading as Thrifty Car Rentals) to take up the 1st Option of a further term of 5 years of their existing lease at the Karratha Airport with a continuation of the initial terms and conditions;
2. Ilha Pty Ltd be made aware that redevelopment of the airport may give rise to an early surrender of the lease as per the Agreement and that advanced notice will be provided by the Shire as per the Agreement.
3. A Deed of Variation be issued to Ilha Pty Ltd for the allocation of 77 car hire bays and the new fee structure to be in place for these bays.

13.4 BUDGET AMENDMENT - KARRATHA LEISURE COMPLEX PROJECT
File No: CP.223, CP.226
Attachment(s) Nil
Responsible Officer: Director Strategic Projects Author Name: Director Strategic Projects Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE To consider a budget amendment to allow the Karratha Leisure Complex project current budget of $1,333,095 to be reallocated from Karratha Education Leisure & Training Project general ledger 350200 to Karratha Leisure Complex job 935000.
Background When Council initially budgeted for this facility in 2009/10 the project was known as the Karratha Education Leisure & Training Project. At this time Council was to be contributing to the Education Department managing the planning of this project. The initial general ledger costing account Karratha Education Leisure & Training Project 350200 was created as an operating account due to the expense being contributions to an asset not belonging to Council. The Shire of Roebourne has now undertaken delivery of the Karratha Leisure Complex Project and this facility will now be a Council Asset. A new job Karratha Leisure Complex 935000 has been created to record the costs associated with the delivery of this asset.
Issues A budget amendment is required to reduce the operating expense account Karratha Education Leisure & Training Project 350200 from $1,333,095 to $0 and to reallocate this expense to capital job Karratha Leisure Complex 935000. This amendment will have no impact on the estimated budget surplus/deficit for 2010/11.
Options Council has the following options available:
2) Adopt the amendments as per recommendations; or 3) Not to adopt the amendments.
Policy Implications There are no relevant policy implications pertaining to this matter.
Legislative Implications As per Local Government Act 1995 sec 6.8 changes to budgets need to be authorised in Advance by resolution.
A local government is not to incur expenditure from its municipal fund for an additional purpose except where the expenditure – 3. (a) is incurred in a financial year before the adoption of the annual budget by the
local government; 4. (b) is authorised in advance by resolution*; or
(c) is authorised in advance by the mayor or president in an emergency.
283
Financial Implications There are no financial implications as there is no impact on the estimated budget surplus/deficit.
Conclusion Council is required to allocate the Karratha Leisure Complex Project expense to a capital expense account to allow this to be reflected as an asset of Council.
Voting Requirements Absolute.

14.10 REPORT ON CHANGES TO BAR POLICY - TIEN TSIN INNE - KARRATHA AIRPORT
File No: Nil
Responsible Officer: Director Strategic Projects Author Name: Acting Airport Manager Disclosure of Interest: Nil
REPORT PURPOSE
At the September 2010 OCM Council resolved to amend the bar opening times of the Tien Tsin Inne within the Karratha Airport Terminal from 11:30am Monday-Sunday, effective 1 November 2010 and remove full-strength beer and spirits (Resolution151313). The removal of full-strength beer and spirits was to be trialled for a period of six months, with a review to come back to Council after this period.
In the six months prior to removal of full-strength beer and spirits income is as follows:
MAY 10 $149,067.55
JUNE 10 $150,126.45
JULY 10 $159,079.98
AUG 10 $159,234.64
SEP 10 $174,605.00
OCT 10 $156,974.24
TOTAL $949,087.86
In the six months since reduction to mid strength beer the income is:
NOV 10 $ 90,024.40
DEC 10 $ 93,278.68
JAN 11 $ 67,710.90
FEB 11 $ 73,033.35
MAR 11 $105,139.59
APRIL 11 $ 95,243.17
TOTAL $451,471.07
This represents a reduction in income of $497,617.76 or 52.5%. Over the same period passenger numbers have increased by around 2,500 passengers or 0.73%.
The behavioural impact as observed by Tien Tsin Inne and Airport staff has been a reduction of incidents within the airport, however, there has been an increase in the amount of alcohol being bought to the airport and consumed outside of the terminal building.
Many verbal complaints were received regarding the reduction in alcohol strength at the time of inception, however, these have now reduced to around one per week.
Most complaints relate to the bar operating hours. Generally, passengers would like alcohol provided for all flights. The most complaints are, however, received around the 11:25am departing flight.
There have been no written complaints received around either issue.
The major airlines have reported a reduction in disruptive behaviour at the gate and a lower number of intoxicated passenger offloads since November 2010.
