SUMMARY: A landowner is seeking Council endorsement of a suburb boundary realignment between Glen Forrest and Darlington. The boundary adjustment will expand the Darlington suburb boundary to the east, adding three additional landholdings. On review of the matter, while there may be some merit to the proposal from a service delivery perspective, the proposal is unlikely to provide a significant benefit to the community and therefore does not meet Landgate’s requirements. It is recommended that Council recommend to Landgate that the proposal is not supported. BACKGROUND: The suburb boundary between Darlington and Glen Forrest currently follows the Newman Road reserve, a portion of which is unconstructed, and the eastern boundary of Reserve 28383 and 6922 which abuts Great Eastern Highway (see ATTACHMENT 1). Access to the subject properties is via the constructed portion of Bertram Street in Darlington.


C9 APRIL 2014

The owner has requested the suburb boundary of Darlington and Glen Forrest be realigned (see ATTACHMENT 2) to follow the eastern boundary of the subject properties rather than the western boundary (Newman Road) for the following reasons: 1. Reflects the physical separation of Glen Forrest from Darlington by the road

network, State owned land and Reserves. 2. As the properties do not have subdivision potential, the proposed boundary

realignment would not be subject to future change.

3. The mail delivery service for Glen Forrest does not reach the subject properties without additional fees being applied as access is required to be gained via Darlington.

4. Darlington is serviced by Midland Police whereas Glen Forrest is serviced

by Mundaring Police. Confusion delivering police and other emergency services to locations in Glen Forrest which can only be accessed via Darlington is potentially problematic.

The owner has been advised by Landgate that the proposed suburb boundary realignment is outside of the usual criteria of the Geographic Names Committee to assess such changes. Support may be granted where the existing boundary follows a river, creek, shoreline, road, railway or other natural or man-made feature which are usually associated with suburb boundaries. As the proposal does not meet these criteria, special consideration is requested. STATUTORY / LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: • Local Planning Scheme No. 4 • Planning for Bushfire Protection Guidelines POLICY IMPLICATIONS: • Geographic Names Committee Policies and Standards for Geographical

Naming in Western Australia (Landgate) FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Should a suburb boundary realignment be approved by Landgate, property rates for the affected properties may change. STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS: Nil SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS: Nil RISK IMPLICATIONS: Nil


C10 APRIL 2014

CONSULTATION: Public consultation has not been undertaken. Should Council resolve to support the proposal, advertising to surrounding landowners and servicing authorities is required in accordance with Landgate’s requirements for determining suburb boundary realignments. Comments from other Shire Services have been considered in the following section. COMMENT: The proposed boundary realignment has been considered having regard to the Shire’s Local Planning Scheme No. 4 and Landgate’s criteria for the assessment of suburb boundaries. Where consideration is being given to a suburb boundary amendment, Landgate will apply the following assessment criteria:

“The need to amend a locality boundary will arise when there is an impediment to the efficient delivery of services to an area, the inability to assign a correct street address, further land development or as a result of the construction of a new major road.

The implementation of such changes will occur if a significant benefit to the community is identified. This includes:

• the amendment supports the requirements of the WA Police,

Emergency Service Providers and Australia Post • the amendment alleviates difficulties by the community in gaining

access to and from the area • the benefits of the proposal to the community as a whole • the size of the area and the proposed boundaries; and • the amendment facilitates correct street addressing requirements as

included in AS/NZS 4819:2011. Submissions seeking changes for reasons of perceived status or financial benefit shall not be supported”.

And

“…consultation with the relevant local government to have the proposal advertised to the wider community will be undertaken. If no objections are lodged during the consultation period, the GNC will proceed to process the proposal…If the GNC deems that the proposal conforms to the naming policies and standards and is in the community’s best interest, it will recommend that the proposal be formally approved. If the GNC deems that the proposal does not conform to these policies, the proposal will be returned to the relevant local government with either a request for further


C11 APRIL 2014

information or advice that the proposal be redesigned so that it might be acceptable for future consideration and approvals’.

The proposal arises from concerns regarding undelivered mail and emergency service delivery rather than perceived status or financial benefit. However, the need alone does not of itself require the Shire to support the proposal. Council is required to take into consideration a number of criteria to support a boundary realignment. Among these are the provisions of Local Planning Scheme No. 4 and Landgate’s Geographic Names Committee Policies and Standards for Geographical Naming in Western Australia. Where the proposal does not meet Landgate’s criteria, they have been outlined in Table 1 below.

TABLE 1 Geographic Names Committee Policies and Standards for Geographical Naming in Western Australia Requirement/Clause Assessment/Comment 1. Boundaries shall align with road

centrelines (major highways, divided carriageways and railways), cadastral information or obvious topographical features such as rivers, shorelines, creeks

The proposed suburb boundary would follow the rear property boundary of private properties fronting Bilgoman Road and Newman Road, but would not align with road centrelines or obvious topographical features.

2. Boundaries shall not bisect single lots or land parcels. Exceptions that may be considered by the GNC for endorsement may include large areas such as forest, lakes or National Parks

Landgate have advised that suburb boundaries should avoid being located along private property boundaries as these are more subject to change than, for example, major pieces of infrastructure or natural features.

3. The amendment supports the requirements of the WA Police, Emergency Service Providers and Australia Post

The Manager of Community Safety has advised that the existing suburb alignment is unlikely to impede emergency services, such as fire emergency services, accessing the locality. While WA Police have not been contacted, it is understood their vehicles have GPS systems. Notwithstanding the above, the owner has identified that the delivery of postal services has been compromised by confusion relating to the address of the property. Should Council resolve to advertise the proposal, the opinion of various service providers would be ascertained.


C12 APRIL 2014

Local Planning Scheme No. 4 The subject properties are zoned Rural Residential 4 under Local Planning Scheme No. 4, indicating no further subdivision potential. The Local Planning Strategy recommends that existing rural residential and rural small holdings lot sizes be generally maintained in Glen Forrest to reflect the constraints of bushfire hazard, Local Natural Areas, the Middle Helena Catchment and landscape values, and to maintain a rural buffer between town sites. Nonetheless, the possibility of subdivision in the area at some future time cannot be completely excluded. In the event of such future subdivision, the proposed locality boundary would form a consideration for any subdivision proposal. Other Considerations The distance from the subject property by road to the nearest private property in Glen Forrest is at least 2.5 km, which is an unusual situation. The applicant cites the physical disconnection of the subject properties from Glen Forrest as a basis on which the suburb boundary realignment should be endorsed. While Marnie Road reserve could provide a more direct link, the Shire’s Infrastructure Services confirm that Marnie Road is unlikely to be constructed unless significant subdivision/development occurs on properties nearby. As of 1 July 2015, the new local government entity may or may not construct Marnie Road to improve access in a bushfire prone area, thereby removing the current isolation of the subject properties from the Glen Forrest locality. The Draft Ward Boundaries proposed as part of local government reform do not conflict with the proposal. The Shire’s Finance Services has advised that rates may change for those properties affected by any proposed suburb boundary change. Conclusion: While the proposal appears to have some merit, particularly regarding resolving postal service issues, it is unclear as to how the change will achieve significant community benefit. For this reason, it is recommended that Council recommend to Landgate that the proposal not be supported. Alternatively, Council may resolve to advertise the proposal to affected landowners and service providers and reconsider the matter at a future meeting of Council. VOTING REQUIREMENT: Simple majority


C13 APRIL 2014

RECOMMENDATION Moved by: Cr Lavell Seconded by: Cr Pilgrim That Council advises Landgate and the Applicant that it does not support the proposed suburb boundary realignment for the following reason: 1. The proposed suburb boundary realignment does not offer a significant

benefit to the community and does therefore not meet Landgate’s criteria for suburb boundary realignments.

LOST 0/11

COUNCIL DECISION C04.04.14 MOTION Moved by: Cr Daw Seconded by: Cr Bertola

That Council –

1. Supports the proposed boundary changes for the purposes of advertising to affected and nearby residents.

2. On the basis of there being no valid objections received during the advertising process, Council authorises the Director of Statutory Services to forward the Council’s support for the boundary change to the Geographic Names Committee for their final determination.

11.2 Rise Inc. Community Funding – KPI Table

SUMMARY: Council resolved at its meeting on November 2013 (C18.11.13) to continue the current 3 year Service Agreement with Rise Inc. at the current level of funding (with annual CPI increases). In the same resolution Council stated that as of 1 July 2014 key performance indicators (KPIs) that meet the objectives of the Strategic Community Plan be included in the service agreement. Council asked that a further report be presented to adopt these KPIs. This report recommends that Council adopts the amended Service Agreement for Rise and endorses the KPIs for the provision of inclusive school holiday programs for young people with disabilities as per the table at ATTACHMENT 3. BACKGROUND: The Shire has five Service Agreements in place being Mundaring & Hills Historical Society (MHHS); Mundaring Sharing (MS); Mundaring Arts Centre (MAC); Katharine Susannah Prichard Foundation (KSP) and Rise (Inc.). Funds provided by the service agreements are used to assist with recurrent costs such as staffing and other general operating expenses. Shire of Mundaring Community Funding Policy states that organisations in receipt of a service agreement “will be required to report regularly against Key Performance Indicators set by the Shire.” In the interest of transparency and appropriate use of ratepayers’ funds, reports against indicators have been provided by these organisations with the exception of Rise Inc. and this anomaly is now being addressed. STATUTORY / LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: Nil POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Nil


C19 APRIL 2014

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The current funding levels, inclusive of annual indexation, are included in the long term financial plan. STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS: A thriving and vibrant community. SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS: The Community Strategic Plan 2013 - 2023 theme of a “Thriving Community” is supported by the delivery of the service agreements’ objectives and key performance indicators. RISK IMPLICATIONS: In addition to decreased levels of significant services to the local community, there is a potential for damage to Shire reputation if service agreements do not remain in place. CONSULTATION: Consultation has taken place with Rise Inc. regarding options for the funding allocation and also regarding the development of the KPI’s for the recommended program. COMMENT: At its meeting on 12 November 2013 Council resolved (C18.11.13):

Continues to fund the three year Service Agreement with Rise at the current level of funding (with annual CPI increases) ; with amendments to the service agreement as of July 2014 that requires the delivery of key performance indicators that meet objectives of the Strategic Community Plan and that a further report come to Council to adopt these key performance indicators;

Consultation between Shire officers and Rise Inc. identified a need for the provision of inclusive school holiday programs for young people with disabilities. This service meets objectives of the Strategic Community Plan and is a service Rise Inc. has the capability to provide. As the Shire of Mundaring Community Funding Policy states that organisations in receipt of a service agreement “will be required to report regularly against Key Performance Indicators set by the Shire” a series of KPIs have been developed around the delivery of this program and can be viewed in the table at ATTACHMENT 3.
