For: Cr Kidd, Cr Duffy, Cr Hamling, Cr McRae, Cr Munro, Cr Taylor, Cr Turner, Cr Whitton, Cr Mileto
Against: Cr Nugent
Absent: Cr Romano
Cr Mileto asked with initial removal of trees if it is it going to be a local company undertaking the works and if not local will they be from a COVID hotspot eg. Sydney and potentially hold up the process.
The Director Community, Recreation & Cultural Services stated that the successful company is based in Blue Mountains and no significant delay envisaged. Council has received all their SWMS information and the major limiter is the ground conditions rather than physical location of contractors.
Cr Mileto asked with regard to the number of trees and potentially 6000 cubic metres of mulch, how much will remain on site and how much will go elsewhere.
The Director Community, Recreation & Cultural Services stated that timber will be taken off site and recycled (reused). Chipping will include branches and limbs. Some will stay on site and used in Council stockpiles around the city and some will be composted.
Cr Nugent commended staff on the report and updating the community on where things are up to. With the Section 60 approval received, is there any reason why we cannot wait until the approvals have been obtained for the overall design before we start removing the trees.
The Director Community, Recreation & Cultural Services stated that the State Government would like us to proceed with the project as soon as possible and get underway with works while the Heritage Office considers the landscape master plan to soon be submitted showing we have commenced the project.
Cr Hamling asked when it would be possible to commence works if the rain stops.
The Director Community, Recreation & Cultural Services stated contact had been made with the contractor to inspect the site however it is envisaged more information will be available towards the end of the week.

RESOLVED - 21/250 Cr S Nugent/Cr S Munro That Council resolves: 1 To abolish fees for overdue library materials from 1 August 2021; 2 Waive any existing overdue fees for library materials from 1 August 2021; and 3 For borrowers who lose, damage or keep library materials, the existing fine structure will continue to recoup the cost of both the item and the processing cost. |
For: Cr Kidd, Cr Duffy, Cr Hamling, Cr McRae, Cr Munro, Cr Nugent, Cr Taylor, Cr Turner, Cr Whitton, Cr Mileto
Against: Nil
Absent: Cr Romano
Cr Mileto asked why has there been an increase and if there is something Council can do better to change it.
The Director Community, Recreation & Cultural Services stated reminders are sent out to borrowers and it is easy to renew items online, however when people receive a fine they tend to not return to use the library. Overdue books need to be returned prior to additional borrowings being allowed and safe guards have been put in place to ensure books are returned or replaced with lost. It is not accurate that books can be borrowed and never have to be returned.

RESOLVED - 21/251 Cr K Duffy/Cr J Hamling That Council approves the East Orange Harvesting Wetland (EOHW) in accordance with its obligations and powers under Part 5 of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979, subject to inclusion of additional recommendations of Entura dated 2 & 3 June 2021. |
For: Cr Kidd, Cr Duffy, Cr Hamling, Cr McRae, Cr Munro, Cr Nugent, Cr Taylor, Cr Turner, Cr Whitton, Cr Mileto
Against: Nil
Absent: Cr Romano
Cr Hamling noted speakers stated that the staff were happy to have further discussions, if this is an option why wouldn’t we defer it for that to occur.
The Director Technical Services stated that this is the REF component of the works, there is another section we go through for approvals under the Water Management Act through NRAR, they won’t start their process until we approve the REF – we have plenty of time to have discussions, as the application will be advertised for 28 days again by NRAR. I would not recommend to defer this REF as it will slow down the whole process.
Cr Nugent asked where the recommendations go if approved by Council.
The Director Development Services stated that a Review of Environmental Factors is generally self-determined by the proponent (Technical Services). Given public interest and scale of this proposal, Development Services have provided a peer reviewed of the REF for Council approval. There is no development consent, if Council adopts the REF, the mitigation measures identified within the REF become commitments to be complied with throughout the development.
Cr Mileto asked, if approved by NRAR, what consultation will occur with the downstream stakeholders if it is approved tonight.
The Director Technical Services stated that he has offered to meet weekly with Mr Pearce and happy to meet with a smaller group on a weekly basis up to the 3rd week of the 4 week exhibition period by NRAR. If we still agree to disagree on mitigation measures, they are still free to put a submission to NRAR to consider. This wetland is off-stream and only holds 13 megalitres of water as a permanent storage and 30 Megalitres of storm storage – to put this into perspective, the current flow in the Blackmans’ Swamp is 62 megalitres – and more environmentally friendly than Ploughmans Wetlands with bypass flows remaining in the main channel.
Cr Mileto asked at what point will water be released from the wetlands.
The Director Technical Services stated that essentially it will act as a diversion and once flows are above 2 Megalitres base flow, flows are split into 2 directions– so if you had flows like today [62 Megalitres], 32 Megalitres would remain in the base channel and 32 Megalitres would be diverted into the wetland. The wetland will be full within 1.5 days starting from completely empty and any flow after that will spill over and join back into the Blackmans Swamp Creek system.
Cr Mileto asked how long it will take to develop the wetlands.
The Director Technical Services stated that the initial construction will be in order of 12 months. The NRAR approval may take 3 months. Looking at page 159 it shows a concept of the wetlands, it is not just a holding pond, it incorporates grassy meadows, extensive planting, walkways and community meeting areas etc. The community and land Council have also been consulted.
Cr Nugent asked if we approve this tonight when will we submit an application to NRAR.
The Director Technical Services stated Council had been in discussions with NRAR since February and the first application was submitted some months ago with a second application at the request of NRAR in the last week. NRAR will not process the application until the REF is approved.
Cr Nugent asked that once it is put on exhibition for 28 days, stakeholders will have an opportunity to put a submission to NRAR.
The Director Technical Services stated yes, administratively it may be a couple of weeks before NRAR places the application on exhibition and yes stakeholders will have time to put submissions to NRAR throughout the exhibition period.

Against: Nil
Absent: Cr Romano
Cr Kidd asked if the application is approved, what happens if there is a change of use or becomes another business in 5 years’ time or became a restaurant open 7 days a week.
The Director Development Services stated that it would depend if there was a need for another development application, this is also a change of use application from a warehouse bringing a change in parking contributions through a more intensive use. What it could be used for in the future would depend on what can be considered exempt development otherwise it would require another development consent which would trigger parking contributions. It is based on the floor area of the premises similar to what has been shown in the report for the front bar area, so it would be similar calculations but dependant on the size of the floor space used for that particular use.
