Extraordinary Council Meeting                                                             8 October 2019

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.

STAFF COMMENT

Determination

Notwithstanding the subsequent information Council can only determine the development application before it. Should Council resolve to refuse the development application the applicant is then able to submit an alternative development application for determination or seek other remedies.

The application before Council does not include an option for access to Molong Road or the Northern Distributor.

 

Traffic

Council resolved to defer this item at the Council Meeting of 1 October 2019 following an indication from a resident that the Minister for Regional Transport and Roads had indicated the RMS would consider a proposal with access and egress onto Molong Road. As this contradicted previous correspondence from the RMS, the matter was deferred to allow time to clarify the situation with the Minister. That has occurred.


 

Council’s Director of Technical Services has indicated that there are a number of reasons why it is not possible or practical to provide access onto the Mitchell Highway for the Turner Crescent Child Care Development. There has been no change to this position following discussion with the Minister.

The predominant reason is Council’s obligations under the infrastructure SEPP, where safe access is available from a local road approval cannot be granted for access onto the State road network.

The reasons provided are:

1.   Planning policies under the Infrastructure SEPP do not allow Council to approve access onto the State road network where safe access is already provided on the Local road network.

2.   The proposed development does not have frontage to the Mitchell Highway, rather there is a parcel of land owned by Council for future widening and specifically to restrict access onto the Mitchell Highway.

3.   RMS written submission on the Orange LEP includes “all childcare centres on classified roads should be avoided.”

4.   RMS have given circular support in principal for the 2017 application for conditional access onto the Mitchell Highway, however the support noted Council’s obligations under the infrastructure SEPP in point 1.

5.   We have been through this proposal for alternative access previously in 2017 and the option was rejected then by the developer;

6.   It was pointed out by an opponent to the development that the peak hour for a childcare is actually spread over three hours.  This has the effect of mitigating the traffic impact. Given this the peak vehicle counts estimated by the applicants consultant are conservatively high and the vehicle counts per hour is actually lower; and

7.   The developer has a complying application for access/egress off Turner Crescent and is not proposing an alternative egress.  In fact the anticipated traffic volume increase is well within the existing road capacity of Turner Crescent.

 

#1 Infrastructure SEPP

Council has been provided with correspondence from the RMS to the applicant referencing the below SEPP and stating that it is their preference for “vehicular access to the development being obtained via Turner Crescent.”

State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2007

Current version for 31 May 2019 to date (accessed 26 September 2019 at 11:30)

Part 3 Division 17 Subdivision 2 Clause 101

101   Development with frontage to classified road

(1)  The objectives of this clause are:

(a)  to ensure that new development does not compromise the effective and ongoing operation and function of classified roads, and

(b)  to prevent or reduce the potential impact of traffic noise and vehicle emission on development adjacent to classified roads.

(2)  The consent authority must not grant consent to development on land that has a frontage to a classified road unless it is satisfied that:

(a)  where practicable and safe, vehicular access to the land is provided by a road other than the classified road ,and

(b)  the safety, efficiency and ongoing operation of the classified road will not be adversely affected by the development as a result of:

(i)  the design of the vehicular access to the land, or

(ii)  the emission of smoke or dust from the development, or

(iii)  the nature, volume or frequency of vehicles using the classified road to gain access to the land, and

(c)  the development is of a type that is not sensitive to traffic noise or vehicle emissions, or is appropriately located and designed, or includes measures, to ameliorate potential traffic noise or vehicle emissions within the site of the development arising from the adjacent classified road.

 

#2 Frontage to Mitchell Highway

Both Council and RMS have acquired land along the Mitchell Highway in the past for future widening of the State road.  Council’s purchases have been for both the future widening and to restrict access along the Mitchell Highway.  See below plan with the reserve in green.

If Council wished to provide access through this reserve advice from the Acting Director Corporate and Commercial Services is that there are two issues “that it is community land and has a public reserve notation. Both classifications need to be addressed.

It would seem the DA would need to be subject to the following:

1   Applicant required to obtain a LEP amendment of PART ONLY Lot 196 DP 1007290.

2   Applicant obtain RMS concurrence to allow access off Molong Road and comply with RMS requirements.

3   Applicant, following RMS and Council consent, will need to engage a private company to proceed with an LEP amendment process for removal of public reserve notation and change of classification from Community Land to Operational Land of that part of Lot 196 DP 1007290 required for access.

4   All LEP costs to be borne by the Developer including application fee, lodgement fees, plan of subdivision, registration and any legal costs incurred by Council.”

#3 RMS LEP submission

A call to RMS Manager Land Use Assessment, Mr Andrew McIntyre confirmed that RMS made a written submission to Council on the LEP when it was being considered and included “all childcare centres on classified roads should be avoided.”

 

#4 RMS 2017 Conditional Support

In 2017 RMS’s initial response was a strong preference for all vehicular access be from/to Turner Crescent.  However when pushed on the point in the light of community pressure, gave a circular response of conditional support that was predicated on Council’s obligations under the infrastructure SEPP.  As safe access can be provided from/to Turner Crescent the in principal support is provided knowing Council cannot provide access to the Mitchell Highway under the infrastructure SEPP.

 

Noting again Council’s obligations under section 101 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Infrastructure) 2007, RMS, in principle, would agree to the left turn only exit driveway subject to the following:

·   The concrete median extend from the concrete island in Molong Road back, at least, 20 metres south of the proposed driveway.

·   The concrete median is lit in accordance with AS1158.

·   The left turn slip lane on Molong Rd fronting the land complies with Parts 4A and 4B of Austroads Guide to Road Design.

·   Route standard 3.5 metre lane widths and the run out area adjoining the south bound travel lane on Molong Road are maintained.

·   The driveway be designed for the largest vehicle required to access the development, and as much as possible, the driveway be designed to deter entry movements in and right turn movements out, whilst still providing a high level of safety for left turning vehicles exiting the site.

Please note the proposed driveway would require the prior concurrence of RMS (pursuant to section 138(2) of the Roads Act 1993). To obtain RMS concurrence, a design drawing of the driveway and median, in accordance with the above would be required.

 

#5 2017 Resolution

Council Resolution:

RESOLVED - 17/212            Cr R Turner/Cr S Munro

That Council defer consideration of development application DA 63/2017(1) for Child Care Centre at Lot 194 DP 1007290 - 36-40 Turner Crescent, Orange subject to a site inspection and consideration of a possible access off Molong Road.

Access of Molong Rd / Mitchell Highway was considered in 2017 and not pursued then.

 

#6 Actual Traffic Mitigated by 3hour Peaks

It was pointed out by an opponent to the development that the peak hour for a childcare is actually spread over three hours.  This has the effect of mitigating the traffic impact.  Given this, the peak vehicle counts estimated by the applicant’s consultant are conservatively high and the vehicle count per hour is actually lower. 

Even still both Council’s Technical Services staff and the Traffic and Parking impact assessment, state that “The anticipated traffic volume increase is well within the existing road capacity and will not impact on pedestrian safety.”

 

#7 Complying application for access/egress off Turner Crescent

Australian Childcare Solutions appealed Council’s refusal of the 2017 DA in the Land and Environment Court (LEC). Proceedings were held between October and December 2017. The appeal was dismissed by the LEC on 21 December 2017 and the application determined by refusal. The following Final Remark is made on the Court Judgement:

A lower scale development would be more respective of residential character. I find that the proposed development pushes the site beyond its capacity. A less intense use… would potentially also have the effect of removing children and play equipment from the front setback, which would increase the development’s compatibility with the surrounding residential area. A smaller centre would meet the day to day needs of residents as contemplated by the objectives of the zoning. It would also allow for more generous parking arrangements, and result in an overall less intrusive and more compatible development.

A smaller, lower, less bulky building (or buildings) could be placed on the site so as to reduce visual and other amenity impacts, including traffic movements.

 

The applicant has put forward a lower scale development for Council’s consideration including a Traffic and Parking impact assessment.

Council’s Technical Services Division concur with the findings of the submitted Traffic and Parking Impact Assessment, and advise as follows:

·    The existing road network has sufficient capacity to cater for the 2 identified AM and PM traffic peaks. The 90 degree bend in Turner Crescent at the entrance to the development has previously been identified as a traffic consideration.

·    The anticipated traffic volume increase is well within the existing road capacity and will not impact on pedestrian safety. Existing speed humps are considered adequate ‘traffic calming’ devices.

·    The carpark has sufficient parking spaces to meet Council’s DCP for both staff and peak time drop off/pick-ups. As such, there is not expected to be any overflow on-street parking. Technical Services staff have previously advised that the carpark requires parking spaces to suit a high turnover user Class 3A design.

·    ‘No standing’ signs are not proposed as part of the line marking works in Turner Crescent.

·    The following local traffic improvements are required and have been included as conditions of consent:

1.  Line marking for Mastronardi Way.

2.  A raised traffic island, road surfacing and line marking at the corner of Turner Crescent (entry to child care centre) to reduce the speed of vehicles entering the site and regulate traffic flows.

3.  Amendments of the carpark dimensions, aisle widths and turn bay to suit user class 3A under AS 2890.1 are considered adequate to address high-turnover car park manoeuvring and minimise bottlenecks at peak drop off/pick up times.

4.  A concrete footpath is to be constructed for the full frontage of the development to Turner Crescent (condition) to cater for pedestrian traffic to the centre.

 


 

Advice from Minister Toole

From: Paul Toole
Date: 3 October 2019 at 9:41:23 am AEST
To:
Subject: Childcare

Dear Mayor,

In relation to your inquiry I can confirm that I spoke with a resident of Turner Crescent about a Childcare development being proposed at Orange City Council.   

I indicated that Council is the consent authority for this proposal and that it is a matter for Orange City Council.

I indicated that if Orange City Council wanted Roads and Maritime Services to look at a different point of access then that may happen if they were asked, but this was no guarantee that that would get approval onto another road (To date Roads and Maritime has not received a formal request from the consent authority pursuant to clause 101 of 2007 ISEPP to make comment).

Having spoken to Roads and Maritime Services it would seem unlikely for this to change.

Roads and Maritime have indicated their position has not changed from their response on 29 July 2019.

Therefore, this development application is a matter for Orange City Council to consider.

If you require any further information please contact Director for Western Region Alistair Lunn from Roads and Maritime Services.

Yours Sincerely

Paul Toole

o    Central aisle and parking spaces 17 to 32 to be constructed to dimensions specified for User Class 3A in figure 2.2 of AS 2890.1 (using 6.6m aisle width option).

 

(10)    A water and soil erosion control plan is to be submitted to Orange City Council or an Accredited Certifier (Categories B1, C3, C4, C6) for approval prior to the issuing of a Construction Certificate. The control plan is to be in accordance with the Orange City Council Development and Subdivision Code and the Landcom, Managing Urban Stormwater; Soils and Construction Handbook.

 

(11)    The development’s stormwater design is to include stormwater detention within the development, designed to limit peak outflows from the land to the pre-existing natural outflows up to the 100 year ARI frequency, with sufficient allowance in overflow spillway design capacity to safely pass flows of lower frequency (that is, a rarer event) without damage to downstream developments. Where appropriate, the spillway design capacity is to be determined in accordance with the requirements of the Dam Safety Committee.

The design of the detention storage is to be undertaken using the DRAINS rainfall-runoff hydrologic model or an approved equivalent capable of assessing runoff volumes and their temporal distribution as well as peak flow rates. The model is to be used to calculate the flow rates for the existing and post-development conditions. The developed flows are to be routed through the proposed storage within the model so that the outflows obtained are no greater than the flows obtained for the pre-existing natural flows. A report detailing the results of the analysis, which includes:

·    catchment plan showing sub-catchments under existing and developed conditions;

·    schematic diagram of the catchment model showing sub areas and linkages;

·    tabulation detailing the elevation, storage volume and discharge relationships; and

·    tabulation for the range of frequencies analysed, the inflows, outflows and peak storage levels for both existing and developed conditions;

together with copies of the data files for the model and engineering design plans of the required drainage system are to be submitted to Orange City Council upon application for a Construction Certificate.

 

(12)    The existing sewer manhole on the northern boundary is to be raised to the design finished surface level. Prior to a Construction Certificate being issued engineering plans for this work are to be submitted to and approved by Orange City Council.

 

(13)    A Liquid Trade Waste Application is to be submitted to Orange City Council prior to the issuing of a Construction Certificate.  The application is to be in accordance with Orange City Council’s Liquid Trade Waste Policy.  Engineering plans submitted as part of the application are to show details of all proposed liquid trade waste pre-treatment systems and their connection to sewer.

Where applicable, the applicant is to enter into a Liquid Trade Waste Service Agreement with Orange City Council in accordance with the Orange City Council Liquid Trade Waste Policy.

 

(14)    Payment of contributions for water, sewer and drainage works is required to be made at the contribution rate applicable at the time that the payment is made.  The contributions are based on 4.64 ETs for water supply headworks and 8.40 ETs for sewerage headworks.  A Certificate of Compliance, from Orange City Council in accordance with the Water Management Act 2000, will be issued upon payment of the contributions.

This Certificate of Compliance is to be submitted to the Principal Certifying Authority prior to the issuing of a Construction Certificate.

 

(15)    A Road Opening Permit in accordance with Section 138 of the Roads Act 1993 must be approved by Council prior to a Construction Certificate being issued or any intrusive works being carried out within the public road or footpath reserve. 

 

(16)    Prior to the issue of the Construction Certificate an acoustic report is to be submitted to the Principal Certifying Authority and to Council, confirming the type and location of any mechanical plant proposed to be installed.  The report shall confirm that the Leq15min noise level emitted from the cumulative noise impact of children playing indoors, mechanical plant and traffic on the site will not exceed 51 dB(A) at the assessment location.  Where mitigation measures are required in order to achieve this noise goal, details of these measures are also to be provided within this report.

 

(17)    Minimum 1.8 metre high solid fences are to be constructed along each of the boundaries of the external play areas to mitigate external traffic noise intrusion, as well as a minimum 1.8 metre high solid fence to be constructed along the western boundary of the proposed car parking area, as shown in Figure 6-1 of the Acoustic Assessment prepared by Wilkinson Murray (Report No. 18428 Version B) dated June 2019.  Fences are to consist of standard lapped and capped timber, colorbond, or the like consistent in design with the approved plans.  The existing 1.8 metre high fence located along boundary with 159 Molong is to be retained.

 

(18)    Standard 4mm glazing is to be fitted to all external windows in order to control internal noise levels, as recommended in the Noise Control Summary (7.1) of the Acoustic Assessment prepared by Wilkinson Murray (Report No. 18428 Version B) dated June 2019.  .

 

 

PRIOR TO WORKS COMMENCING

 

(19)    Where existing fencing on the west and south boundaries of the site adjoining dwellings needs to be removed, or is of a type which does not ensure the occupants adequate privacy, new fencing of the type shown on the approved development application plans, or as referred to elsewhere in this Notice, shall be erected prior to any building or construction work being carried out upon this development.

 

(20)    Soil erosion control measures shall be implemented on the site.

 

(21)    A Construction Certificate application is required to be submitted to, and issued by Council/Accredited Certifier prior to any excavation or building works being carried out onsite.

 

(22)    A temporary onsite toilet is to be provided and must remain throughout the project or until an alternative facility meeting Council’s requirements is available onsite.

 

 

DURING CONSTRUCTION/SITEWORKS

 

(23)    All construction/demolition work on the site is to be carried out between the hours of 7.00 am and 6.00 pm Monday to Friday inclusive, 7.00 am to 5.00 pm Saturdays and 8.00 am to 5.00 pm Sundays and Public Holidays. Written approval must be obtained from the General Manager of Orange City Council to vary these hours.

 

(24)    A Registered Surveyor’s certificate identifying the location of the building on the site must be submitted to the Principal Certifying Authority.

 

(25)    All construction works are to be strictly in accordance with the Reduced Levels (RLs) as shown on the approved plans.

 

(26)    All materials on site or being delivered to the site are to be contained within the site. The requirements of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 are to be complied with when placing/stockpiling loose material or when disposing of waste products or during any other activities likely to pollute drains or watercourses.

 

(27)    The fit-out of the food preparation and storage areas are to be installed in accordance with the requirements of Food Safety Standard 3.2.3 "Food Premises and Equipment" of the Australian New Zealand Food Standards Code and Australian Standard 4674-2004 "Design and construction and fit-out of food premises".

 

(28)    Any adjustments to existing utility services that are made necessary by this development proceeding are to be at the full cost of the developer.
