1.4 Declaration of pecuniary interests, significant non-pecuniary interests and less than significant non-pecuniary interests
The provisions of Chapter 14 of the Local Government Act, 1993 (the Act) regulate the way in which Councillors and designated staff of Council conduct themselves to ensure that there is no conflict between their private interests and their public role.
The Act prescribes that where a member of Council (or a Committee of Council) has a direct or indirect financial (pecuniary) interest in a matter to be considered at a meeting of the Council (or Committee), that interest must be disclosed as soon as practicable after the start of the meeting and the reasons given for declaring such interest.
As members are aware, the provisions of the Local Government Act restrict any member who has declared a pecuniary interest in any matter from participating in the discussion or voting on that matter, and requires that member to vacate the Chamber.
Council’s Code of Conduct provides that if members have a non-pecuniary conflict of interest, the nature of the conflict must be disclosed. The Code of Conduct also provides for a number of ways in which a member may manage non pecuniary conflicts of interest.
Recommendation It is recommended that Councillors now disclose any conflicts of interest in matters under consideration by the Council at this meeting. |

4 Notices of Motion/Notices of Rescission
RECORD NUMBER: 2019/2458
I, CR Stephen Nugent wish to move the following Notice of Motion at the Council Meeting of 19 November 2019:
That Council review its material procurement policies and practices with a view to increasing procurement of products that use recycled materials.
|
Background
Waste and Recycling was prominent on the agenda at the Local Government NSW Annual Conference. There were 5 ‘primary’ motions under the Waste and Recycling heading in the business papers and 18 ‘supporting’ motions including Orange City Council’s motion calling for a report on sustainable, long-term solutions to the recycling crisis including fostering industries that recycle waste in Australia.
The agenda also included the launch/re-launch of the Save Our Recycling campaign by LGNSW President, Linda Scott. Cr Scott spoke of the need to develop a circular economy where recycling is processed in Australia and made into products for which there are local markets. Cr Scott called on Councils to play a part in that by favouring products using recycled materials in their procurement practices wherever possible.
The Save Our Recycling campaign also features a state-wide education campaign promoting recycling and the encouragement of innovation in recycling industries. This might include the development of regionally led recycling hubs and could even extend to Council support for the annual Garage Sale Trail, as part of a broader set of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle initiatives.
Orange City Council already has a good track record in terms of waste recycling but given the ongoing recycling crisis, and given that recycling creates three times the jobs that landfill waste management does, perhaps it’s timely to review what else we could be doing to stimulate local industries and local markets for recycled products.
Signed Cr Stephen Nugent
STAFF COMMENT
A report will be brought back to Council.

The unrestricted cash position movements during the month are normal as projects commence and income is received. Movements may also arise following processing of income received between funds or into restricted assets to appropriately allocate for the purposes Council has determined.
Portfolio Advice
Council utilises the services of an independent investment advisor in maintaining its portfolio of investments. Council’s current investment advisor is Imperium Markets, an independent asset consultant that works with wholesale investors to develop, implement and manage their investment portfolio. Imperium Markets is a leading provider of independent investment consulting services to a broad range of institutional investors including government agencies, superannuation funds and not-for-profit organisations.
Imperium Markets major services provided to Council include:
· Quarterly portfolio summary reports
· Advice on investment opportunities, in particular Floating Rate Note products
· Advice on policy construction
· Year-end market values for Floating Note Rate products held by Council.
Portfolio Performance
Council’s current Long Term Financial Plan establishes
the benchmark for Council’s interest on investments at “75 basis
points above the current cash rate”. The cash rate as at 31 October 2019
had dropped to 0.75 per cent. The weighted average interest rate of
Council’s investment portfolio at the same reporting date was 2.12 per
cent which continues to exceed Council’s benchmark i.e. the cash rate of
1.0 per cent plus 0.75 per cent (or 75 basis points).
Council has also utilised the AusBond Bank Bill Index to provide a further benchmark focused towards long term investments. As at 31 October 2019, the AusBond rate was 1.65 per cent. The weighted average interest rate of Council’s investment portfolio at the same reporting date was 2.12 per cent.
Council’s Investment Policy establishes limits in relation to the maturity terms of Council’s investments as well as the credit ratings of the institutions with whom Council can invest.
The following tables provide a dissection of Council’s investment portfolio as required by the Policy. The Policy identifies the maximum amount that can be held in a variety of investment products or with institutions based on their respective credit ratings.
Table 1 shows the percentage held by Council (holdings) and the additional amount that Council could hold (capacity) for each term to maturity allocation in accordance with limits established by Council’s Policy.

Table 2 shows the total amount held, and the weighted average interest rate (or return on investment), by credit rating. The credit rating is an independent opinion of the capability and willingness of a financial institution to repay its debts, or in other words, the providers’ financial strength or creditworthiness. The rating is typically calculated as the likelihood of a failure occurring over a given period, with the higher rating (AAA) being superior due to having a lower chance of default. However, it is generally accepted that this lower risk will be accompanied by a lower return on investment.
Table 2 demonstrates that Council receives a lower return for its A rated and above investments than for those with ratings of B or less. The level of money held in the bank accounts has been added to the table to illustrate the ability of Council to cover the operational liabilities that typically occur (for example payroll, materials and contracts, utilities).

AMP Bank was downgraded by Standard and Poor’s from A to BBB during August, thereby pushing the holdings of BBB rated products close to the maximum capacity. This situation continues to be monitored and will be addressed over time, by transferring across to A rated counterparties as the BBB rated investments fall due.
Certification by Responsible Accounting Officer
I, Jason Cooke, hereby certify that all investments have been made in accordance with Section 625 of the Local Government Act 1993, Clause 212 of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 and Council’s Investment Policy.

SUPPORTING INFORMATION
The Floodplain Risk Management Community Committee at its 6 May 2019 meeting recommended:
That Council resolves to publically exhibit the “Blackmans Swamp Creek and Ploughmans Creek Flood Study – April 2019 Rev 1.1” for a period of 28 days and seek comment.
Further to this recommendation the Planning and Development Committee recommended,
That Council resolves:
1. To place the attached draft DCP Chapter as an amendment on exhibition, for 28 days concurrently with the flood study and LEP Housekeeping amendment.
2. That upon adoption, the draft DCP be known as chapter 4A Flood Affected Land.
3. That, in order to avoid duplication, the exhibition include a proposed repeal of section 5.3 of the Phillip Street DCP, which relates to flooding.
Both recommendations were resolved at the following Council meeting.
Following the ratification of both recommendations, Council staff sent letters to approximately 2700 home owners advising the owners that their home was either:
1. Subject to flooding; or
2. Subject to flooding but the dwelling on the allotment was not subject to above floor inundation.
The letters also directed the home owner to view the new Flood Maps, Flood Study, DCP amendment and LEP amendment that allows the LEP to “talk” to the DCP amendment and make comment on the flood maps and amendments.
All draft documents, a Frequently Asked Questions document together with a Question and Answer forum were loaded onto Council’s Your Say site and exhibited 26 July 2019 to 26 August 2019. The following Your Say Flood Study site statistics should be of interest to Council:
· 890 people visited the site
· 433 people downloaded documents
· 52 viewed the FAQ page.
Council also held a Question and Answer presentation in the Civic Centre Theatre on 1 August 2019 where approximately 60 people attended.
During the exhibition period, Council’s engineering and planning staff answered in excess of 200 ratepayers’ questions at the Council Civic Centre.
After this enormous consultation campaign, Council only received 10 formal submissions from the public. This is a testament to the professionalism of Council’s engineering, planning and media staff and should be recognized as a well delivered exhibition of very important strategic documents.
A summary of the submissions are shown below with the Manager of Engineering Services (MES) comment to the submissions are listed below:
1 Laura Reid (18 Garden Street)
Objects to the stigma of flood prone on 10.7 Certificates (S149 Certificates) at her property.
MES comment: The Overland Flow only just touches 18 Garden Street and thus the flood does not really affect the property. The map will be adjusted to show the property not flood affected.
2 Julie Woolf (5 Burrendong Way)
Raises concerns over the way Council manages vegetation within the Ploughmans Creek tributary next to her property and has concerns the vegetation has an effect on the overland flow path, thus affecting the ability to sell her home or the effect on insurance.
MES Comment: Council carries out periodic maintenance on its parks and gardens. A request to carry out some vegetation management near the property has been sent to Council’s Manager of City Presentation. The model does recognize blockages and roughness within vegetated open drains
3 Department of Primary Industries (DPI) (1447 Forest Road)
Requests DPI be contacted if any further development of the Flood model be undertaken.
MES comment: Council’s MES has engaged with DPI over the raising of the DPI Agricultural Research dam. The DPI dam break study does recommend DPI raise the crest and spillway of the dam. Once the mitigation options report has been developed by Council’s consultancy, Council will further work with DPI as to help attain funding to raise the dam wall.
4 Robert Ristvej (2 & 3 Landy Place)
Believes Council’s lack of vegetation management within the Ploughmans Creek tributary adjacent his properties increases the risk of flooding at his properties. Mr Ristvej refuses to have any DCP or LEP amendments placed on his properties.
MES comment: Mr Ristvej has been contacted and supplied velocity of flows and other technical information. Council’s Manager of City Presentation has been asked to undertake vegetation works at the location.
5 Mr & Mrs Parker (74 Kenna Street)
Argues a low retaining wall constructed along the fence at 1 – 3 Moulder Street (eastern boundary of 74 Kenna Street) influences the behaviour of the overland flow and asks what is Council going to do about this considering Council approved the retaining wall.
MES Comment: Anecdotally it appears the retaining wall may influence the overland flow path behaviour. The approval of the retaining wall and unit development was done prior to the flood study. Council’s engineering staff believes there are opportunities to construct retention basins near Calare School, at the Presbyterian Ladies Collage (PLC) and at Orange High School (OHS) that will further mitigate flooding at this property.
6 Mr M Speechley (51 Farrell Road)
Argues the construction of an earth sound mound along the Northern Distributor Road (NDR) pushes overland flow onto the rear of his property.
MES Comment: It appears the construction of the sound mound has influenced the behaviour of the overland flow at this location. Council’s engineering staff have commenced design to mitigate this situation and return flows to pre NDR flows.
7 Mr T Parks (42 & 44 Icely Road)
Has concerns that now his properties are denoted as flood affected via a S.10.7 Certificate that this will influence his property value and insurance cost.
MES Comment: Council staff is not in a position to comment on property value or insurance. These properties are beneficiaries of the Kinross retention basin.
8 Mr W McDonald (51 & 53 Sampson Street and 4 Hamer Street)
Has “generally, no problem or objection to the strategy” but believes the accuracy of LiDAR skews the result of the flood model as the accuracy is +/- 30mm.
Also has concerns where a LIDAR “shot” from the 1m grid hits a car or a tree it skews the model. Argues a base RL flood height should be provided by survey rather than LiDAR and objects to the inclusion of his properties within the flood model until a specific flood RL can be given.
MES Comment: LiDAR is an appropriate survey technique to develop flood modelling. The accuracy of the LiDAR survey is negligible within the model as LiDAR “shots” tend to have a consistent inaccuracy, that is to say the group of shots within an area are usually say +/- 30mm; this consequently does not affect the model.
Cars and peculiarities are typically removed from a digital terrain model prior to flood modelling.
The 1% AEP flood height at the subject properties is RL 877.107 AHD, the natural surface level of the subject property ranges from RL 876.745 AHD to RL 877 AHD. Mr McDonald has been given the site specific RL as requested.
9 Mr D and Mrs K Walker (8 Yarawini Drive)
Wishes to know if internal drainage lines are considered within the model and if a small retaining wall behind the property is considered within the model.
MES Comment: Council’s storm water drainage system is recognized within the model. Typically, storm water drainage is designed to accommodate 10% AEP (1 in 10 year) flows. The private storm water system that drains to the street would alleviate low flow but wouldn’t convey major flows such as a 1% AEP.
The retaining wall at the rear of the property is unlikely to prevent water entering the rear of the property because it has a gap in the wall for a rear entrance plus due to its size it would have been recognized in the LiDAR survey.
10 Heath Consulting Engineers (1 – 5 Ash Street)
Has concerns two isolated “pockets” of overland flow appear on the property.
MES Comment: During the development of the flood maps staff and the consultant rationalized the model to remove “pockets” such as these. Council should remove these pockets of overland flow.
The submissions are attached to this report.
During the exhibition phase in excess of 150 ratepayers visited Council and requested Council engineering staff explain the flood model. During the explanation, two properties were found to have floor heights that were, in Council staff’s opinion, above the 1%AEP flood yet where recognized as above floor inundated within the study. Council should recognize these properties as not above floor inundated and remove these properties from the flood damages assessment.
The properties are described as:
1. 8 Ophir Street
2. 7 Lyrebird Place.
Council staff and the flood modelling consultant believe the following amendments should be undertaken to the draft DCP chapter:
1. Amend the flood maps to incorporate the recommended changes above;
2. Amend Annexure 2 (5) to include Hotel;
3. Minor amendments to the wording of the DCP;
4. The inclusion of Commercial and Industrial as suitable within main stream flooding but with the appropriate development controls; and
5. The inclusion of Essential Community Facilities as suitable within overland flow flooding but with the appropriate development controls.
It is recommended that Council accepts the amendments to the Flood Model and DCP as recommended within the body of this report and adopt the Flood study, DCP and LEP amendments attached.

Council Meeting 19 November 2019
Attachment 1 Post Exhibition Draft DCP Amendment
This chapter of the Development Control Plan (DCP) was prepared to provide specific development controls to guide development of flood affected land within Orange.
The DCP incorporates the findings of the Blackmans Swamp and Ploughmans Creek Flood Study and the procedures set out in the NSW Floodplain Management Manual, 2005.
4A.1.1 What does the plan do?
The plan provides information and guidelines to assist people considering the development or use of land affected by potential flooding within Orange. Development may include, among other things:
· Building construction;
· Alterations and additions to existing developments;
· Filling land; earthworks including but not limited to: filling, excavation, trenching , swale drains,
· landscape such as; garden edging, planting of trees and shrubs, construction of pathways and other hard surface areas, construction of fences
· establishing a business;
· subdividing land;
· minor development such as Carports and Garages; and
· permit merit based assessment of development upon an allotment where it can be demonstrated that the development site is above the 1% AEP (100 year ARI).
4A.1.2 Objectives
This chapter of the DCP aims to:
a) To minimise the potential impact of development and other activity upon the aesthetic, recreational and ecological value of the waterway corridors.
b) Increase public awareness of the hazard and extent of land affected by all potential floods, including floods greater than the Adopted Flood and to ensure essential services and land uses are planned in recognition of all potential floods.
c) Inform the community of Council’s policy for the use and development of flood prone land.
d) Reduce the risk to human life and damage to property caused by flooding through controlling development on land affected by potential floods.
e) Provide detailed controls for the assessment of applications lodged in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 on land affected by potential floods.
f) Provide different guidelines, for the use and development of land subject to all potential floods in the floodplain, which reflect the probability of the flood occurring and the potential hazard within different areas.
g) Apply a “merit-based approach” to all development decisions which takes account of social, economic and ecological as well as flooding considerations.

4A.1.3 Will the plan affect my property?
The DCP applies to all development permissible with the consent of Council on land in Orange that is shown in Annexure 1.0.
4A.2.0 HOW TO USE THIS PLAN
The DCP provides a general criterion for determining development applications. The criteria recognise that different controls apply to different land uses and levels of potential flood inundation or hazard.
Step 1 Using the maps in Annexure 1 identify whether your land is flood affected land, and whether it is within the Floodway (Main Stream Flooding) (red areas) or if it is subject to Overland Flow Deeper than 100mm (blue areas).
Step 2 Using Annexure 2 identify the most relevant land use category for your proposed development or works.
Step 3 Refer to the matrix in Annexure 3 to determine the Flood Response Levels for different aspects of your proposed development or works – such as floor levels, building components, structural soundness, evacuation, flood affectation and management and design.
Step 4 Using the Flood Response Levels from step 3 consult the Flood Response Controls in Annexure 3 and incorporate the requirements into your design.
Step 5 Where flood compatible materials are required by a Flood Response Control consult Annexure 4 for guidance.
4A.3.0 WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING APPLICATIONS?
4A.3.1 General
The criteria for determining applications for proposals potentially affected by flooding are structured in recognition that different controls are applicable to different land uses and levels of potential flood inundation and hazard.
4A.3.2 Land use categories
Seven land use categories have been adopted and are listed in Annexure 2.0 - ALL development shall be deemed to be within one of the 7 categories. Where a development is of a type not explicitly listed, it shall be deemed to be within the category that contains the most similar forms of development.
4A.3.3 What controls apply to proposed residential developments?
The development controls apply to all flood prone land at or below the 1% AEP flood. The type of control has been graded relative to the severity and frequency of potential floods, having regard to the two following applicable categories:
· Floodway – Shown in red on the Interim Flood Planning Areas and Levels Main Stream Flooding and Overland Flow affected Areas Maps shown in Annexure 1
· Overland Flow – Shown in blue on the Interim Flood Planning Areas and Levels Main Stream Flooding and Overland Flow affected Areas Maps shown in Annexure 1
· Annexure 3 outlines the flood response levels and controls relevant to the area to which this Policy applies for each of the above categories.
4A.3.4 What if my allotment is partially in the Floodway or Overland Flow?
Any proposed development on that land shall be subject to a merit based assessment with respect to the proposed development’s location and impact on flood affectation.
4A.3.5 Fencing
Any proposed fencing is to be shown on the plans accompanying a development application and the likely effect of such fencing on flood behaviour is to be assessed by a suitably qualified engineer.
All fencing panels (including Colorbond, galvanised, timber, wire and brush) to be either:
a) removable so that panels can be laid flat; or
b) horizontally hinged where a portion of at least 1.2m high is capable of:
I. Swinging open to allow floodwater to pass.
II. Raised as to allow floodwaters to flow beneath
Fencing may be required to comply with a type and siting criteria as prescribed by Council.
4A.3.6 Other Uses and works
All other development, building or other works within any of the categories that require Council’s consent will be considered on their merit. In consideration of such applications Council must determine that the proposed development is in compliance with the objectives of this policy.

RECORD NUMBER: 2019/2137
AUTHOR: Craig Mortell, Senior Planner
EXECUTIVE Summary
Orange Local Environmental Plan 2011 Amendment 24 was placed on public exhibition from 26 July 2019 to 26 August 2019. The amendment is a housekeeping administrative measure intended to rectify a number of anomalies and minor matters that have been encountered by staff in the years since the LEP 2011 was adopted. These matters include a range of heritage corrections, local clause adjustments, spot rezonings and one additional permitted use. One adjustment relates to clause 7.2 and flood control planning, this change also involves an amendment to Orange Development Control Plan 2004 and has been informed by an associated flood study.
During the exhibition period a total 12 submissions were received, which are related to the effect of the flood study and associated mapping on specific individual properties. None of the submissions have articulated an objection to the proposed LEP & DCP clauses and control mechanisms. All such submissions have been provided to Councils engineers to review as part of the flood study exhibition which ran concurrently with the LEP/DCP exhibition.
There were 22 other matters contained in the LEP amendment unrelated to the flood study, none of these matters attracted any submission. There were a number of verbal enquiries in relation to these other matters, particularly the alteration to the airport obstacle limitation surface (OLS) map and some of the heritage corrections. Such enquiries were predominantly seeking clarification, particularly in terms of the OLS and its relevance to developments on affected land, rather than expressing any opposition or concern.
Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan
The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “7.1 Preserve - Engage with the community to develop plans for growth and development that value the local environment”.
Financial Implications
Nil
Policy and Governance Implications
Nil
That Council resolves to: 1 That Council adopt Amendment 24 to Orange Local Environmental Plan 2011 as exhibited; and 2 That Council adopt the amendment to Orange Development Control Plan 2004 relating to flood controls, updated to reflect the LEP land use definitions. |
further considerations
Consideration has been given to the recommendation’s impact on Council’s service delivery; image and reputation; political; environmental; health and safety; employees; stakeholders and project management; and no further implications or risks have been identified.
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
Draft Development Control Plan chapter for flood affected land
Annexure 2.0 of the draft DCP chapter that was placed on exhibition had been prepared with descriptions of development types and common language of land uses rather than explicit LEP land use definitions. In some cases this could have potential to result in disputed interpretations of the planning requirements. Subsequent to the public exhibition the draft DCP annexure 2.0 has been updated to adopt the LEP land use definitions to clarify the intent of the DCP. These changes do not materially alter the operation of the DCP and are intended solely to avoid ambiguity or confusion.
Agency submissions
John Holland Rail on 2 September acknowledged notification but stated they had no comments to offer.
Transgrid wrote advising of the location of their transmission line easements and their associated guidelines for development in those locations. Transgrid also advised of fencing guidelines they have adopted and requested to be kept informed and consulted on any development occurring within their lands and easements. This advice does not materially affect the drafting of either the LEP or DCP amendments and has been forwarded to Councils engineers for their consideration.
Department of Primary Industries – Agriculture wrote of the need to consider ongoing investigations into the Orange Agricultural Institute dam that is identified in the flood study mapping.
Public submissions
Flooding - Accuracy of maps
Some submissions have disputed the identification of their properties as being flood affected on a range of grounds. These include anecdotal experience of past events, a perception that if neighbours are not identified their property should not be identified.
Flooding - Individual property contexts
Several submissions detailed the particular circumstances of their properties with respect to flooding. These submissions do not address the proposed method of flood control planning directly but instead question the identification of their property in the study maps as being flood affected. In some cases concern is expressed that past civil works or neighbouring developments may have altered the flood regime in relation to their property.
Flooding - Insurance implications
Submissions note that identification of their property as potentially flood affected may have implications for their insurance premiums and policies. In setting premiums it is assumed that insurance providers would need to allow a contingency for uncertainty. In the absence of information they would be likely to assume a greater level of hazard than otherwise. Correct identification of the extent and degree of hazard therefore reduces this uncertainty in premium calculations.
Flooding - Property valuation
The potential for flood affectation to impact upon property valuations has been raised in the submissions. Clearly some prospective buyers may be reluctant to purchase a property that is identified as flood affected. However the flood study also has the benefit of quantifying the extent of hazard present enabling prospective buyers to estimate mitigation measures or design responses, such as floor levels, for any extensions or redevelopment.
In any event Council has an obligation to provide clear and unbiased information on planning certificates. Whenever knowledge of a hazard improves this will necessarily alter the information provided. In this respect a planning certificate is a snapshot in time of the known risks and circumstances and will always be subject to change over time.
Flooding - Reduction in development potential
These submissions have not objected to the proposed LEP and DCP flood planning mechanism but are seeking reconsideration of their property in the flood study and associated maps. As such these submissions have been forwarded to Councils engineers for review and consideration in the flood study, which is the subject of a separate report.
Characterisation of the exhibition
One submission raised concern that the headline used Councils website for the exhibition of Amendment 24 may have given an impression that the amendment was only related to the flood study and flood planning controls. Given that the same page clearly listed all 23 changes proposed in the amendment, it is considered that the exhibition has been appropriately represented and website visitors would have formed a correct impression of the range of matters included in the amendment. Additionally property owners affected by specific matters in the amendment were directly notified by post.
Airport Obstacle Limitation Surface map
As noted, while there were no submissions on the Obstacle Limitation Surface (OLS) changes there were several enquiries seeking clarification. Each enquiry was advised that the OLS mapping does not serve to prohibit any particular form of development. Rather the OLS creates a de-facto height limit as structures get closer to the airport as well as providing additional matters for consideration. In practice the OLS serves to ensure that the airport manager is advised of proposals with any potential to impact upon the airport and to have proposals referred to CASA (where applicable). The OLS mapping changes would not alter or restrict the current usage of land around the airport.

Attachment 2 Draft DCP Chapter for Flood Affected Land
This chapter of the Development Control Plan (DCP) was prepared to provide specific development controls to guide development of flood affected land within Orange.
The DCP incorporates the findings of the Blackmans Swamp and Ploughmans Creek Flood Study and the procedures set out in the NSW Floodplain Management Manual, 2005.
4A.1.1 What does the plan do?
The plan provides information and guidelines to assist people considering the development or use of land affected by potential flooding within Orange. Development may include, among other things:
· Building construction;
· Alterations and additions to existing developments;
· Filling land; earthworks including but not limited to: filling, excavation, trenching , swale drains,
· landscape such as; garden edging, planting of trees and shrubs, construction of pathways and other hard surface areas, construction of fences
· establishing a business;
· subdividing land;
· minor development such as Carports and Garages; and
· permit merit based assessment of development upon an allotment where it can be demonstrated that the development site is above the 1% AEP (100 year ARI).
4A.1.2 Objectives
This chapter of the DCP aims to:
a) To minimise the potential impact of development and other activity upon the aesthetic, recreational and ecological value of the waterway corridors.
b) Increase public awareness of the hazard and extent of land affected by all potential floods, including floods greater than the Adopted Flood and to ensure essential services and land uses are planned in recognition of all potential floods.
c) Inform the community of Council’s policy for the use and development of flood prone land.
d) Reduce the risk to human life and damage to property caused by flooding through controlling development on land affected by potential floods.
e) Provide detailed controls for the assessment of applications lodged in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 on land affected by potential floods.
f) Provide different guidelines, for the use and development of land subject to all potential floods in the floodplain, which reflect the probability of the flood occurring and the potential hazard within different areas.
g) Apply a “merit-based approach” to all development decisions which takes account of social, economic and ecological as well as flooding considerations.
h) To control development and other activity within each of the individual floodplains within the LGA having regard to the characteristics and level of information available for each of the floodplains.
i) Deal equitably and consistently with applications for development on land affected by potential floods, in accordance with the principles contained in the NSW Floodplain Development Manual, 2005 issued by the NSW Government.
j) To provide controls for the assessment of applications on land affected by potential floods in accordance with the provisions of Orange LEP 2011 (as amended).
4A.1.3 Will the plan affect my property?
The DCP applies to all development permissible with the consent of Council on land in Orange that is shown in Annexure 1.0.
4A.2.0 HOW TO USE THIS PLAN
The DCP provides a general criterion for determining development applications. The criteria recognise that different controls apply to different land uses and levels of potential flood inundation or hazard.
Step 1 Using the maps in Annexure 1 identify whether your land is flood affected land, and whether it is within the Floodway (Main Stream Flooding) (red areas) or if it is subject to Overland Flow Deeper than 100mm (blue areas).
Step 2 Using Annexure 2 identify the most relevant land use category for your proposed development or works.
Step 3 Refer to the matrix in Annexure 3 to determine the Flood Response Levels for different aspects of your proposed development or works – such as floor levels, building components, structural soundness, evacuation, flood affectation and management and design.
Step 4 Using the Flood Response Levels from step 3 consult the Flood Response Controls in Annexure 3 and incorporate the requirements into your design.
Step 5 Where flood compatible materials are required by a Flood Response Control consult Annexure 4 for guidance.
4A.3.0 WHAT ARE THE CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING APPLICATIONS?
4A.3.1 General
The criteria for determining applications for proposals potentially affected by flooding are structured in recognition that different controls are applicable to different land uses and levels of potential flood inundation and hazard.
4A.3.2 Land use categories
Seven land use categories have been adopted and are listed in Annexure 2.0 - ALL development shall be deemed to be within one of the 7 categories. Where a development is of a type not explicitly listed, it shall be deemed to be within the category that contains the most similar forms of development.
4A.3.3 What controls apply to proposed residential developments?
The development controls apply to all flood prone land at or below the 1% AEP flood. The type of control has been graded relative to the severity and frequency of potential floods, having regard to the two following applicable categories:
· Floodway – Shown in red on the Interim Flood Planning Areas and Levels Main Stream Flooding and Overland Flow affected Areas Maps shown in Annexure 1
· Overland Flow – Shown in blue on the Interim Flood Planning Areas and Levels Main Stream Flooding and Overland Flow affected Areas Maps shown in Annexure 1
· Annexure 3 outlines the flood response levels and controls relevant to the area to which this Policy applies for each of the above categories.
4A.3.4 What if my allotment is partially in the Floodway or Overland Flow?
Any proposed development on that land shall be subject to a merit based assessment with respect to the proposed development’s location and impact on flood affectation.
4A.3.5 Fencing
Any proposed fencing is to be shown on the plans accompanying a development application and the likely effect of such fencing on flood behaviour is to be assessed by a suitably qualified engineer.
All fencing panels (including Colorbond, galvanised, timber, wire and brush) to be either:
a) removable so that panels can be laid flat; or
b) horizontally hinged where a portion of at least 1.2m high is capable of:
I. Swinging open to allow floodwater to pass.
II. Raised as to allow floodwaters to flow beneath
Fencing may be required to comply with a type and siting criteria as prescribed by Council.
4A.3.6 Other Uses and works
All other development, building or other works within any of the categories that require Council’s consent will be considered on their merit. In consideration of such applications Council must determine that the proposed development is in compliance with the objectives of this policy.
4A.3.7 Other documents which may need to be read in conjunction with this plan:
· Orange Local Environmental Plan 2011;
· Relevant Council policies, development control plans and specifications;
· Blackmans Swamp and Ploughman’s Creek Flood Study;
· NSW Government Floodplain Management Manual;
· Environmental Protection Authority Guidelines on Sediment and Erosion Control;
· Environmental Protection Authority Guidelines on on-site effluent disposal.
4A.3.8 What Information Do You Have to Submit to Council?
In order to obtain the approval of Council you must lodge a Development Application in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
The application must be accompanied by:
· A site plan showing the location of proposed works or structures,

SUPPORTING INFORMATION
On 25 June 2019, Council resolved to adopt the Donations and Grants Strategic Policy - ST029. Since that time, a standalone Event Sponsorship Program Strategic Policy - ST144 has been adopted. This updated Donations and Grants policy has removed those references to Major Event sponsorships.
This updated policy has corrected Rates Reimbursements and Hire Fee Reductions. These reimbursements or reductions cannot be applied for under section 356 (they are under section 610E) of the Local Government Act and have been removed from the policy. Applicants can still apply for a donation up to the same maximum amount by instead applying for their project or their community service.
The Donations and Grants policy is now recommended for re-adoption without further re-advertisement due to the minor nature of the amendments.
Summary of Amendments:
ST029 - Strategic Policy – Donations and Grants |
|
November 2019 |
· Rates Reimbursement and Hire Fees Reduction have been removed as these come under section 610E of the Local Government Act 1993 and have very specified requirements. They cannot be given under section 356. · Applicants who previously applied for a donation under Rates Reimbursement and Hire Fees Reduction can still apply for a donation on the basis of a project, purchase of equipment or provision of community service. The maximum of the category is the same. · In the same way donations cannot be used to pay an applicant's insurance costs, donations cannot be used to pay for fees and charges applied to the applicant. · A new category has been added for school students who have been selected to attend a National event or an event overseas representing Orange. This is similar to the Sports Participation Program. · Major Event Sponsorship has been removed as this now sits under its own, separate Strategic Policy – ST144 – Event Sponsorship Program. · Funding Agreements have been removed as they relate to Major Event Sponsorship. · General Donations has been renamed Small Donations. |
