1       Introduction

1.1     Apologies and Leave of Absence

1.2     LIVESTREAMING AND RECORDING

This Council Meeting is being livestreamed and recorded. By speaking at the Council Meeting you agree to being livestreamed and recorded. Please ensure that if and when you speak at this Council Meeting that you ensure you are respectful to others and use appropriate language at all times. Orange City Council accepts no liability for any defamatory or offensive remarks or gestures made during the course of this Council Meeting. A recording will be made for administrative purposes and will be available to Councillors.

1.3     Acknowledgement of Country

I would like to acknowledge the Wiradjuri people who are the Traditional Custodians of the Land. I would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present of the Wiradjuri Nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginal Australians who are present.

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.

Council Meeting                                                                                                  2 June 2020

4       Notices of Motion/Notices of Rescission

4.1     Notice of Motion - Removal of No Fishing Sign, Ploughmans Creek Wetlands

RECORD NUMBER:       2020/850

 

 

I, CR Mario Previtera wish to move the following Notice of Motion at the Council Meeting of 2 June 2020:

 

Motion

That Council remove the recently installed No Fishing Sign at Ploughmans Creek Wetlands and once again allow fishing at the wetlands.

 

 

Background

Standard ‘blade’ signs that prohibited fishing have been in place since the construction of the wetlands some years ago.  The ‘new’ signage referred to is temporary/unofficial signage that was installed with orange bunting/fencing in the past two months.  The recent bunting was installed in an attempt to stop damage that was being caused to the edge of the wetland and the native aquatic grasses that were planted during community planting days.

 

Signed Cr Mario Previtera

STAFF COMMENT

The damage to the grassed edges was impacting on plant growth, amenity loss and causing erosion of the bank into the water.  This then seemed to encourage dog owners to swim dogs in the wetlands which is not permitted. 

If Council were of the mind to permit fishing within the Ploughman’s Wetlands, perhaps the approach could be formalised in a manner that permits access to some of the wetlands (eg. by a board walk extension and fishing wharf/deck) for fishing and restricts access to other regeneration areas.  Staff could investigate the possibility of obtaining funding from NSW Fisheries under the fishing licencing scheme in the same manner as the wharf at Lake Canobolas.

Financial Implications

At this stage, the financial implications are unknown and would require a report back to Council once funding options are identified.  The Lake Canobolas fishing platform was 100% funded through the licence scheme.

RECORD NUMBER:       2020/851

 

 

I, CR Mario Previtera wish to move the following Notice of Motion at the Council Meeting of 2 June 2020:

 

Motion

That Council remove event camping in the resolution on Gosling Creek to allow the new resolution to read:

“Permit camping on the northern side of Gosling Creek within a designated area at times determined by Council so as not to conflict with events or activities and to permit event RV parking within established carparks at Gosling Creek”

 

 

 

Signed Cr Mario Previtera

STAFF COMMENT

At the Services Policy Committee meeting held on 4 September 2018, as an element of Council’s consideration of permitting recreational activities at Gosling Creek, Spring Creek Dam and Suma Park Dam Council exhibited a proposal to permit:

 

RESOLVED - 18/416                                                                        Cr M Previtera/Cr S Munro

That Council publicly exhibits, for a period of 28 days, proposals to:

1        Permit camping on the Southern side of Gosling Creek with access to amenities on the Northern Side of Gosling Creek;

2        Permit Camping on the Northern side of Gosling Creek within a designated area at times determined by Council so as not to conflict with events or activities;

3        Permit RV parking within established car parks at Gosling Creek;

4        Permit access to Spring Creek Dam for non-powered and electric boating, fishing but not camping;

5        Not permit land or water based activity at Suma Park; and

6        Report to Council following the public exhibition on the submissions received.

 

 


 

Following the conclusion of the exhibition period, Council received 133 submissions. These included:

·    120 submissions opposing the proposals for Gosling Creek;

·    9 submissions opposing the proposals for Gosling Creek and Spring Creek Dam; and

·    4 submissions supporting the proposals for Gosling Creek.

This report details the outcomes and provides copies of the submissions.

 

Following exhibition, the Sport and Recreation Policy Committee meeting held on 4 December 2018, resolved to adopt the resolution to:

RESOLVED - 18/542                                                                          Cr K Duffy/Cr M Previtera

1        That Council permit event camping on the northern side of Gosling Creek within a designated area at times determined by Orange City Council as not to conflict with events or activities.

2        That Council permit event RV parking within established carparks at Gosling Creek at times determined by Orange City Council as not to conflict with events or activities.

 

 

Council incorporated the amendments within the Plan of Management.

Financial Implications

Should works be required to support Camping on a more regular basis, a budget allocation will be required as no works are included in the draft budget.

POLICY AND GOVERNANCE IMPLICATIONS

Council will be required to exhibit a change to the Plan of Management, report responses received back to Council and have Council determine a final position.

Should Council choose to adopt the change the amended Plan of Management would then be required to be approved by the Minister.

Included in the submissions were 9 objections to the proposal for Spring Creek Dam including those from Kinross Wolaroi School, ECCO and the Orange Field Naturalists. These submissions highlighted the potential impact on flora and the steps required to obtain approval.

However, given the current use by residents adjoining Spring Creek Dam and the activity of Kinross Wolaroi School, together with the current unregulated use by the general public, it is recommended that Council commence the process to permit activity as described in this report.

However, based on the identified risks and estimated costs contained within the report to Council on 4 September 2018, an assessment of the proposals, together with an assessment of the submissions received, it is my view that Council should:

1        Not permit camping at Gosling Creek;

2        Not permit RV parking within established car parks at Gosling Creek; and

3        Not permit land or water based activity at Suma Park.

Membership brochure 

The Murray Darling Association is a membership-based peak representative organisation representing local government and communities across the Murray Darling Basin.  Our purpose is to provide effective representation of local government and communities at state and federal level in the management of Basin resources by:

•     providing accurate, relevant and timely information,

•     facilitating informed debate, and

•     seeking to influence government policy

Membership of the Murray Darling Association is open to all local government and other entities within the Basin, and to individuals with an interest in ensuring a sustainable future for the Murray-Darling Basin. We welcome new members and their involvement in activities and meetings with us. 

·     Orange City Council Water team are currently actively involved in regional water projects.

 

DIRECTORS COMMENT

Council has previously been a member of the association but relinquished membership. We have found advocacy on water policy has been best achieved through a mix of direct representation and membership of other representative bodies such as the NSW Water Directorate and the Central JO.

If we were to join we would be represented by Region 10 Councils of which Forbes Mayor Cr Phyllis Miller is the current Region Chair.  The Council’s below are all within Region 10 and the Council’s in bold are those that are current financial members of the association:

 

Bathurst Regional Council      Bland Shire Council                          Blayney Shire Council

Bogan Shire Council               Bourke Shire Council                      Cabonne Council

Cobar Shire Council              Cowra Shire Council                        Dubbo Regional Council

Forbes Shire Council             Goulburn Mulwarra Council            Lachlan Shire Council

City of Lithgow Council          Mid-Western Regional Council       Muswellbrook Shire Council

Council Meeting                                                                                                  2 June 2020

5.3     OC Future City

RECORD NUMBER:       2020/655

AUTHOR:                       Nick Redmond, Acting Director Corporate and Commercial Services    

 

 

EXECUTIVE Summary

The OC Future City Project emerged from the Activate Orange Economic Strategy.

The intent of the OC Future City Project is to identify and address how the City Centre will respond to the evolving needs of the region, local residents and businesses, workers and visitors to Orange.

The project provides an opportunity to support existing businesses and attract new investment. It is about encouraging people, both local and regional, to come into the CBD and spend more time there once they have arrived.

The last significant update of the CBD was undertaken in the 1990s. Since then there has been significant changes in the city and in the retail sector.

The OC Future City aims to build on the existing strengths and pivot to support new opportunities.

SJB Urban Design and Planning was engaged last year along with landscape architects, an economic analyst and consultants looking at ideas, precincts, engineering, sustainability and heritage.

There has been a number of community consultations both online and face to face. A 30 member Community Reference Group was established representing a broad cross section of the community. The group was both influential and generous in providing time to the project.

To date, more than 100 ideas have been developed and several precinct project areas identified.

There has been three strong themes:

1        Attract more people

2        Increase the number of people living and working in the City Centre

3        Make the City Centre more walkable - addressing the dominance of private vehicles in the City Centre, reducing reliance on the use of private vehicles as the primary mode of transport and making the City Centre more attractive, comfortable and safe to walk around.

This report seeks a resolution of Council to exhibit the draft strategy.

While a significant level of community engagement and consultation has already taken place there is more to come starting with the exhibition period.


 

Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan

The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategies:

·    “9.1. Construct and maintain a road network meets the community’s transport and infrastructure needs”

·    “9.2. Ensure that adequate car parking spaces are available to support growth”

·    “9.3 Preserve - Ensure that an appropriate level of pedestrian amenity is provided throughout the community”

·    “9.4. Develop a vibrant civic and commercial precinct as a centre for the community”

·    “11.1. Capitalise on the character and lifestyle of Orange to remain a destination of choice”

·    “12.1. Attract and grow strategic investment”

·    “12.4. Partner with key stakeholders to enhance opportunities for local business to grow and prosper”

Financial Implications

The Future City CBD upscale and renewal project is a 2 year $30 million project. Council has committed $5 million per year, for 2 years, to this project.  Full implementation will also be contingent on external funding sources. Commitment to progressing the Future City Project will enhance and reinvigorate the City and the CBD. The Project will provide positive economic impacts, both during construction and post construction. Such positive projects are considered essential in the current economic climate.

Policy and Governance Implications

Nil

 

Recommendation

That the OC FutureCity Planning and Design Framework/Strategy and associated documents be placed on exhibition for 40 days.

 

further considerations

The recommendation of this report has been assessed against Council’s other key risk categories and the following comments are provided:

Service Delivery

The delivery of this project will rely on a whole of Council approach to ensure success. In the section above where the project is linked to the Delivery/Operational Plan multiple strategies have been identified. However the impact of the project has relevance to numerous objectives on the Community Strategic Plan.

Image and Reputation

While there are many benefits detailed in the report a significant challenge during the delivery phase will be, to where possible, limit impacts on CBD businesses.

Political

The total project relies heavily on State and Federal Funding of $20M to deliver all projects detailed within the OC Future City Strategy.  Were this Government funding not forthcoming, the delivery of projects would be reduced to those funded by Council’s contribution.

Environmental

A key aspect of the project is to make the city more pedestrian (and alternative travel modes) friendly. This is considered a prerequisite for reducing car dependency, which in turn can help to reduce traffic, congestion and fossil fuel consumption.


Health and Safety

The relevant work, health and safety requirements will be complied with.

Employees

As mentioned above under service delivery the project requires a whole of Council approach. To that end small staff project teams have been established to focus on specific elements. The project list is covered separately in this report.

Stakeholders

While the disruptions created by COVID19 will be long-lasting the finalisation of this strategy and the implementation is an opportunity to form part of the recovery. Demonstrating the benefits and limiting the impact of implementation on key stakeholders will be an important engagement project. Such is the scope of the project stakeholders are community-wide. Given face to face consultation is unavailable during COVID-19 it is recommended that the exhibition period be extended beyond the standard 28 days to 40 days. During this period Council will provide updates and information through digital channels and traditional media.

Projects

In a COVID-19 climate there may be some reluctance to proceed with such a transformative and long term project. However there is also a need to make sure we continue to plan for the future.

SUPPORTING INFORMATION

 

Overview on the process and outcomes

SJB consultants were engaged by Council in late 2018 to undertake a review and master planning exercise for the Orange CBD. The scope was broad and ambitious covering a range of disciplines from urban design, traffic and transport planning, engineering, land use and a variety of community initiatives. Essentially to consider any and all means to enhance and upgrade the CBD recognising its role as foundational to Orange not just economically but also socially and culturally.

SJB, in conjunction with Council staff, undertook a range of community engagement initiatives including the formation of a Community Reference Group (CRG) of over 30 members from a wide cross section of Orange. The key role of the CRG was to review and comment on progress as each stage of the project was delivered.

Stage 1 was a familiarisation exercise where SJB came to Orange, explored our city, work-shopped with staff, councillors and the community. This enabled them to better understand the local issues and context as well as see first-hand the existing structure and performance of the CBD.

Stage 2 was essentially a return brief where SJB confirmed to Council there understanding of the project and what was to be delivered.

Stage 3 entailed brainstorming and envisaging as wide a range of options as possible, obtaining feedback from staff and the CRG to refine these ideas. This saw the delivery of several component parts. An economic component, a heritage component, traffic and movement component.

Feedback on these elements was provided leading to the main FutureCity document. The main document comprises an overview of the above process as well as suggested projects and an implementation plan. The project list is extensive and comprises both general CBD-wide and more localised precinct specific suggestions.

 

Project List

The project list contains over 100 ideas and concepts. These have been tabulated with indicators in key matters such as likely cost, complexity and timeframe. The projects can also be categorised in terms of hard (physical works) or soft (social/cultural programs). This recognises that a vibrant city is more than just a collection of buildings and objects but also requires activity and participation of the people.

It is important to understand that the project list is intended to provide Council with a suite of options into the future and that not all ideas will eventuate. Rather the project list enables Council to respond flexibly to funding or other opportunities as they arise, yet in a coordinated manner, so that all projects move the city toward a common goal.

Projects identified within the Future City Planning and Design Framework includes ‘physical projects’, and ‘soft projects’.  Physical projects include works such as the redevelopment of the CBD, through to linkage of the new DPI Building with the CBD. Whilst ‘soft projects’ are more assistance type schemes that enable others to take action, such as seed funding for vertical landscaping/gardens; heritage protection, painting and other economic drivers.

 

Implementation Plan

The FutureCity document sets out a series of visions, themes and objectives. They are,

·        Regional Destination

·        Identity

·        Liveability and Lifestyle

·        Connected

·        Ideas City

·        A centre for work and study

Chapter 9 of the FutureCity document contains a Kit of Parts that has been divided into 2 main categories,

1        City wide projects and programmes

2        Precinct specific projects and projects

The Kit of Parts has 106 projects that have been compiled using ideas from the Visions of the document, the Community Reference Group, Project Steering Committee, Case Studies and staff. Some of the projects are very descriptive such as “Develop a Night Time Economy Policy” to very objective such as “Community Greening”.

In parallel to the finalisation of the FutureCity document Council has created 10 implementation groups containing various staff members who have workshopped the 106 projects in sympathy to the vision, themes and objectives. Not surprisingly the 10 groups have common interpretations of the FutureCity document. The common interpretations are currently being drafted into a 3D model of the city where a costing of the project can be presented at Councils July 2020 meeting.

 

Timeline

As mentioned, the project list is extensive and includes an estimate of time frame for each project. Given that project list is designed as a collection of options, rather than a set project, the overall time frame is deliberately flexible. This flexibility is intended to allow Council to be as ambitious as possible while remaining open to funding and other opportunities from both other tiers and agencies of government as well as private sector participants.

Some projects will be delivered in the short term, others in the medium to longer term. This means that the FutureCity project will be an important document for Council for many years to come. It is recommended that FutureCity be reviewed and updated on a regular basis. This will provide a consistency over time as well as the ability to incorporate new ideas and directions that may emerge over time.

Next Steps

At this stage, Council does not have to determine which projects it will identify as priorities.  At this point in time, it is considered important to build on the community involvement already achieved through the Community Reference Group. This can be achieved by the exhibition of the plan as drafted by SJB. Community thoughts, ideas, priorities and expectations can then be reported back to Council for consideration and determination.  Following that, identified projects for action can be scoped out from an engineering perspective and progressed based on the Council and community priorities.

5.4     Road Closure Application - Part The Escort Way

RECORD NUMBER:       2020/776

AUTHOR:                       Shirley Hyde, Legal and Property Officer    

 

 

EXECUTIVE Summary

Council has been contacted by the property owner of 474 The Escort Way, Orange with a request to close part of The Escort Way adjoining their land. This report seeks a Council resolution to proceed with the process.

Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan

The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “14.2 Collaborate - Promote organisational culture that delivers excellent customer service and continuous improvement”.

Financial Implications

Council will receive compensation for the road closure and transfer to private ownership. The compensation amount will not be known until a valuation is received.

Policy and Governance Implications

Nil

 

Recommendation

That Council resolves to:

1        Advertise the proposed road closure in accordance with the requirements of the Crown Land Management Act.

 

2        That Council's Chief Executive Officer be given delegation to finalise determination for road closure for part The Escort Way, Orange post exhibition.

 

3        Proceed to sell that part of the road closed to the owner of 474 The Escort Way, Orange.

 

4        Grant approval for the use of the Council Seal on any necessary documentation.

 

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

Gilbert and Janet O’Brien the property owners of 474 The Escort Way have requested Council proceed with an application for the closure of part of a road reserve fronting their property. A map depicting the area is shown below for your reference.

 

Prior to 1 July 2018, road closure applications were undertaken by the Crown Lands whether the road was a Council or Crown Road. Since 1 July 2018, with the inception of the Crown Lands Management Act 2016, that process has been transferred to Local Councils. 

Council staff have inspected the site and deemed the proposed closure to have no adverse effect on Council or adjoining neighbours. The proposed closure would be advertised for a period of 28 days allowing the general public to lodge any submissions.  

The property owner would be responsible for payment of all costs associated with the closure including application fee, advertising, survey and legal costs. The area of road to be closed is 835 m2 and valued at between $25 per m2 to $80 per m2.  As there is such a varying difference in opinion of value, a valuation will be commissioned (at the property owner’s expense) to ensure Council receives fair and reasonable compensation.

It is recommended that Council resolve to proceed with the road closure.

5.7     City Entrance Sign Conceptual Design

RECORD NUMBER:       2020/814

AUTHOR:                       Nigel Hobden, Manager City Presentation    

 

 

EXECUTIVE Summary

Council is working towards developing and constructing an engaging uniquely identifying entrance sign to the City for major roads leading to the City. The first sign is to be built at the intersection of the Northern Distributor Road and the Mitchell Highway on the eastern approach and within the triangle created by the intersection.

The design concept was developed following consultation with the Parks, Trees and Waterways Committee who resolved to progress with a design based on the Tallangatta Entrance Sign having previously rejected a contemporary design. Council adopted this recommendation.

 

Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan

The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “5.1 Live - Engage with the community to ensure facilities and programs meet changing lifestyle and social needs”.

Financial Implications

Nil

Policy and Governance Implications

Nil

 

Recommendation

That Council proceed with the development and installation of the entrance sign at the intersection of the Northern Distributor Road and the Mitchell Highway on the eastern approach as detailed in this report.

 

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

Council has engaged the services of Moir Landscape Architecture to develop and design a construction specification for a City Entrance sign that can be initially installed within the triangle created by the intersection of the Northern Distributor Road (NDR) and the Mitchell Highway on the eastern approach to the City. The design style can then be transitioned to meet requirements of scale and size to suit other major roads leading to the City with specific locations to be selected.

As Council would be aware, the triangle created by the intersection of the NDR and Mitchell Highway on the eastern approach to the City has naturally occurring asbestos and as such the sign will need to be constructed by importing and mounding earth to suit the proposed footing and landscaping treatment to complement and enhance the sign. Looking to source and use natural materials for hard landscape works, the wall is proposed to be constructed from bluestone (sourced from Council stockpiles), landscape features such as the boulders will be sourced locally to reflect the volcanic origins of the landscape. The actual sign will use Council’s corporate font laser cut into Corten steel sheeting. The Corten steel will be fabricated into a box and using LED lighting, the letters of the word ORANGE, will be illuminated from within the box. Using LED lighting Council will have the ability to change the lighting colour to mark special events for example; Daffodil Day – the letters of ORANGE could be illuminated in yellow, for Pink Ribbon Day – pink, at other times the letter could be lit in orange.

Behind the sign it is proposed to install flag (or banner) poles upon which flags of different designs throughout the year can be flown. For example in Autumn the flags could showcase the vibrant colours of autumn in leaf shapes, spring – colourful blossoms, FOOD week – food and culture, Wine week – grapes and wine. These designs are to be developed by Council’s Graphic Design team with the banners able to be changed on a regular basis to reflect the many events and changing seasons of Orange.

Works on landscape treatment and infrastructure elements will commence in May 2020 with the sign to be installed in first quarter of 2020-2021 year.
