--> 00:06:56.240 fortunate to have the pleasure even just 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:58.240 very briefly to sit down and meet Neil 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.000 when I was Mayor some months ago uh Neil's 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:02.920 granddaughter Anne and her husband Daniel 00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:04.279 reached out to me and told me all about 00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:05.920 Neil and I of course took up the offer 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.360 to come uh chat and catch up with 00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:13.560 him Mayor to Mayou um and at the time I met him 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:15.279 from everything I had heard about him I 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.680 felt he was the same dynamic councilor 00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:20.079 and mayor who served his community with 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:22.959 sincerity and with energy uh and this 00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:24.759 was confirmed to me by his former 00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:26.959 colleague and a former councilor for 00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:28.600 the City of Kingston Ron Brownley as 00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:32.879 well Neil was a councilor from 1984 to 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.160 1994 and from 91 to '92 he served as the 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:38.439 Mayor of the City of Moorabbin which later 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.439 merged with four other City councils to 00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:42.120 form the City of 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.519 Kingston as a local business owner and a 00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.560 well-connected community 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:49.079 leader local employment and bolstering 00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.279 skills training for young people were a 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.680 real key focus for him over his time as 00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:57.079 Mayor and Councilor he helped establish 00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:58.920 a local business Network group and the 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:01.279 Moorabbin Business Awards which ran for more 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:02.920 than 25 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.120 years looking after older community 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.040 members was also a really key priority 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:09.000 for him and as an active member of the 00:08:09.079 --> 00:08:11.160 Age Services committee Neil had a key 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.560 role in raising funds to deliver the 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.720 Warrawee Age Care home in Bentleigh now in the 00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:18.439 City of Glen 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:21.000 Eira Neil is remembered not only as a 00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:23.199 councilor and a mayor who gave his time 00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.279 generously but also as a family 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.959 man now I I also wanted to provide a bit 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.360 of uh an anecdotal story that Neil 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:32.799 shared with me and of course uh back 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.039 then the way Council operated has 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:38.120 since changed um but I will go on 00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:39.600 forever as long as I continue to 00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:41.879 participate in Council and and in local 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.799 government and volunteer my time um 00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:45.919 recall the very endearing story that 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.279 Neil told me about his incredible and 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.519 very interesting method for fundraising 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.840 when he was the mayor Neil purchased a 00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:55.840 Harley-Davidson and drove that 00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:57.840 Harley-Davidson into Southland shopping 00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.799 centre then coralled a large 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.840 volunteer force and proceeded to sell 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.159 raffle tickets raising I believe at the 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.519 time over $40,000 towards the Mayor's 00:09:08.600 --> 00:09:11.679 charitable fund he of course then 00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.080 went on and as he tells me barged up to 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:16.679 the City clerk and demanded a 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:18.679 reimbursement for the purchase of the 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.919 Harley-Davidson instead of asking for 00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.120 permission um but like I said a very 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:25.639 different way of working now but I think 00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:27.720 that is so emblematic of such a real 00:09:27.799 --> 00:09:31.000 incredible generous icon of kindness um 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:32.840 and we were so fortunate to have his 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:35.960 contributions and work and volunteerism 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:38.039 into the City of Moorabbin in now City of 00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.960 Kingston um this evening on behalf of 00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:44.679 our mayor our councilors our staff um

00:13:00.279 this briefly for those of you who are at 00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:02.600 the December meeting you will realize 00:13:02.679 --> 00:13:04.840 that we actually combined our ordinary 00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.519 council meeting with our planning 00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:10.360 committee meeting we had I actually 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:11.720 can't remember how many questions we had 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:14.000 at that time but it uh the question time 00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.200 went for 40 minutes and the meeting 00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.519 itself ended in the early hours of 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.039 Tuesday Morning um today we have I 00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:24.960 understand 22 questions which even if we 00:13:25.039 --> 00:13:27.519 spent only two minutes in reading it out 00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.399 and responding that would be um almost 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.519 an hour of our time and so my motion 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.080 today is that the questions we can get 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.840 to in 15 minutes we get to and every 00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:40.600 other P question which is not answered 00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:43.039 will receive

responded to by 00:14:54.759 --> 00:14:56.519 the general manager of planning in place 00:14:56.600 --> 00:14:59.159 the questions are from rosemary West and 00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:00.480 they are would Council consider 00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:02.320 proposing instead of a Road overpass 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:04.240 over the railway line close to the 00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.480 existing Station Road Crossing as this 00:15:06.559 --> 00:15:07.679 would enable the protection of the 00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:10.000 remnant Coast Banksy Woodland along the 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:12.360

overpass and the second question is 00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:21.039 given the council has retained its 00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:23.200 present policy to discourage two story 00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:24.759 developments in backyards in the general 00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.840 residential Zone 3 and now most now in 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:29.120 most of the neighborhood residential 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.159 Zone proposed in Amendment 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:35.519 20c why is this not mentioned in the 00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:37.039 officer report that recommend support 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:38.799 for three two story developments in the 00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:42.639 backyard of 27 L Cresent aspal as I said 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:44.559 I ask Mr Jonathan Gutman general manager

00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:01.759 environmentally invasive well beyond the 00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:04.080 area that presently is provided for the 00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:06.840 road crossing Council will nonetheless 00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.360 make inquiries with the lxrp as to 00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:10.840 whether a road over pass over the 00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:13.600 railway line was considered in response 00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:15.159 to question two given the extent of 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:17.120 planning policy to consider section 11 00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:18.799 of the officer report is a summary of 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.200 the relevant policy being considered 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:22.759 officers have assessed the application 00:16:22.840 --> 00:16:24.320 against this policy and have determine 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.639 that the proposal adequately designs the 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.639 up story components so that they do not 00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:30.919 cause adverse humanity and character 00:16:31.000 --> 00:16:32.240 impacts officers will generally 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.000 emphasize this issue two story in the 00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:36.000 backyards or character issues in 00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:37.679 particular situations they believe the 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:39.600 application does not address any adverse 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:42.679 amenity and character 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:46.039 impact next question is from Arena from 00:16:46.120 --> 00:16:49.399 hian um the question 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:52.480 is people

king Council building were built 00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:02.399 by public tax money so how has it become 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:03.759 that you are demanding from the public 00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:05.640 so much private information phone 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:07.599 numbers addresses and emails are not 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:09.480 related to public questions I'll ask Mr 00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:11.079 Dan Hogan general manager of customer 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:12.839 and corporate support to 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:15.880 respond thank you there are limitations 00:17:15.960 -->

00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:24.680 asking for a name and contact details 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:26.440 allow us to apply the rules fairly for 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.640 everyone sometimes we will also provide 00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:31.079 a response in writing after the meeting 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:32.599 however it's important to understand if 00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:33.799 you do not want your name read out 00:17:33.880 --> 00:17:35.240 during the meeting there is a tick box 00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:37.839 to select that 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:40.519 option next question is from Steven man 00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:42.680 last council meeting 11 December 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.599 2024 test which will be 20123 you didn't 00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:47.240 answer my first question labeling it as 00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.279 being objectionable it appears that any 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:50.599 question that you don't want to answer 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:52.400 is objectionable the question is very 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:54.119 simple as we all appreciate every 00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:57.960 country has its own flag um and it goes 00:17:58.039 --> 00:17:59.559 on to for a similar example of those 00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:01.400 sorts of things we've further considered 00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:02.680 the public question that you put at the 00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:04.359 last council meeting and we still deem 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:05.920 it to be objectionable and not 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.079 appropriate to answer in this public 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:12.119 forum the next question is from 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:15.640 Mark and his two questions are where is 00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:17.039 the information regarding Kingston 00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:18.960 council's total

report um a key aspect of this 00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:28.759 matter is that the J uh included a vcap 00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.000 proposal uh that was refused and that 00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:33.359 officer's report outlines that quite 00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:35.680 clearly our approach with the second 00:33:35.759 --> 00:33:38.000 time uh around application was to work 00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:40.400 with Council officers and in particular 00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:42.440 your internal uh departments to make 00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:44.319 sure this proposal responded uh 00:33:44.400 -->

00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:52.319 changes to the scheme that are outlined 00:33:52.400 --> 00:33:54.519 in the officers report we see the 00:33:54.599 --> 00:33:56.279 cination of that being the referral 00:33:56.359 --> 00:33:58.680 section it's section seven of the report 00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:00.119 where there is seven separate 00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:01.720 departments that now support this

say 00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:09.039 that's a fundamental difference from the 00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:11.360 first application that you considered 00:34:11.440 --> 00:34:12.960 the second matter I wanted

LLY contested 00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:22.320 by objectors for a number of years now 00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:23.800 we had a very positive meeting with 00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:26.360 residents late last year and rather than 00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:28.159 uh angle the carrot and saying well 00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:29.840 we'll make changes if you withdraw your 00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:32.559 objections we just made them voluntarily 00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:33.920 and they're outlined in the officers 00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:35.679 report again and they were to address 00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:37.559 the issues that were outstanding by uh 00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:40.119 residents surrounding there section 13 00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:42.440 of the officers report deal details that 00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:44.880 um very extensively and uh we agree with 00:34:44.960 --> 00:34:46.920 that assessment that says there is no 00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:48.519 outstanding matters that the off that 00:34:48.599 --> 00:34:49.719 the residents have raised that would 00:34:49.800 --> 00:34:51.360 warrant the refusal of this matter and 00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:53.840 this proposal has responded positively 00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:55.400 um we just want to finish by thanking 00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:56.599 the residents they've spent a lot of 00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:58.280 time and effort in this

00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:12.880 at it and and we need to look at it in 00:37:12.960 --> 00:37:15.280 terms of what's acceptable I really do 00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:18.280 appreciate the residents uh who have 00:37:18.360 --> 00:37:20.800 submitted to this because I went through 00:37:20.880 --> 00:37:22.880 them with a fine tooth comb and then put 00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.280 the questions through to our planning 00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:27.960 officers who gave detailed responses and 00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:29.719 went and checked the site again so I 00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:31.679 really appreciate what the officers did 00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:33.760 in terms of making sure that we are 00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:36.039 protecting those trees um that we want 00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:38.199 to make sure that they keep and retain 00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:39.760 and that the solar panels are not 00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:43.119 affected um on the sites um of the n on 00:37:43.199 --> 00:37:46.920 the neighboring um resident sites um so 00:37:47.000 --> 00:37:49.039 while I'd have much i' much preferred to 00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:51.360 have seen four four dwellings rather 00:37:51.440 --> 00:37:54.639 than six um with one being a single um 00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:57.719 story dwelling I do think um this is now 00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:00.880 an acceptable proposal thank you thank 00:38:00.960 --> 00:38:05.320 you very much councilor basley councilor 00:38:10.000 --> 00:38:12.599 stos thank you Council stakos this advis 00:38:12.679 --> 00:38:15.519 me that he will Reserve um councilors 00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:18.199 would anyone thank you councilor 00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:22.679 Hill thank you again May jdb um and uh 00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:25.320 look just in support of councilor 00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:27.880 Beasley's uh motion I just also wanted 00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:30.599 to note uh Council Beasley's sort of 00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:33.159 ongoing interest in this particular 00:38:33.239 --> 00:38:34.719 application as well like I know she's 00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:38.440 seen the journey right from the start um 00:38:38.519 --> 00:38:40.119 I think it's worth noting like whilst 00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:42.320 six objections is not insignificant it's 00:38:42.400 --> 00:38:44.320 obviously a lot less than6 which I 00:38:44.400 --> 00:38:48.360 believe the first application um sort of 00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:51.679 uh brought about 66 objections um and 00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:53.599 look it's really good to hear from an 00:38:53.679 --> 00:38:56.840 applicant speak the way um as we just 00:38:56.920 --> 00:38:59.239 heard as well where you know there's a 00:38:59.320 --> 00:39:02.360 clear willingness and and drive to to 00:39:02.440 --> 00:39:04.679 respond to the concerns of the 00:39:04.760 --> 00:39:06.320 neighboring residents and you know 00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:08.719 people that take an interest in in a 00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:11.039 planning matter like this so I think 00:39:11.119 --> 00:39:14.519 this is an example of like as um 00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:16.840 councilor Beasley said you know four 00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:19.199 might have been more F four dwellings on 00:39:19.280 --> 00:39:20.760 this site might have been more favourable 00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:22.719 but you know what I do have to look at 00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:25.360 the fact that it's a 21100 m uh Square 00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:29.239 site um which is not insignificant I I 00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.039 think you know when I when I balance it 00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:35.559 all up it's not an unreasonable um 00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:38.079 proposal that's being put forward uh I 00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:40.159 think the fact that the back dwelling is 00:39:40.239 --> 00:39:42.159 also single story does help in terms of 00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:44.199 the interfaces with neighboring 00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:48.039 properties also um there's clearly uh 00:39:48.119 --> 00:39:49.599 conditions in place with regards to 00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:52.119 those protected trees or you know the 00:39:52.199 --> 00:39:54.679 tree protection zones as well so I think 00:39:54.760 --> 00:39:56.559 on balance I'm I'm you know very 00:39:56.639 --> 00:39:58.000 comfortable with where this has landed 00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:00.000 so thank you thank you very much 00:40:00.079 --> 00:40:01.880 councilor Hill would any other councilor 00:40:01.960 --> 00:40:04.760 like to comment or debate if not I'll 00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:07.239 put this

Road Menon and I 00:42:02.599 --> 00:42:05.840 represent the three tenants on that 158 00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:10.000 1 2 and 3 um we have of you've got a a 00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:12.480 copy of all the objections uh in front 00:42:12.559 --> 00:42:14.559 of you and I hope um everything was 00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:16.320 pretty clear as to what we're objecting 00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:19.440 to objection main objections are the 00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:21.920 shadow schematics on uh from Taken on 00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.599 the 22nd of December before 11:00 a.m. 00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:26.400 currently no Shadow on any of these 00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:29.119 units unit 2 has four floor to ceiling 00:42:29.199 --> 00:42:31.400 Windows plus front entrance currently 00:42:31.480 --> 00:42:35.079 820 mm above the driveway which means we 00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:40.480 can see right into the backyard of 00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:43.199 the6 uh which will be an issue with 00:42:43.280 --> 00:42:46.039 privacy and security currently from the 00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:48.199 front door overextended fence can see as 00:42:48.280 --> 00:42:50.719 I said right down to 2 m Clos line 00:42:50.800 --> 00:42:52.440 height which is about that 00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:56.119 height and uh you'll see that on Photo 6 00:42:56.199 --> 00:42:59.079 seven and8 to fix the Privacy as we said 00:42:59.159 --> 00:43:01.159 or as I said a minute ago for the first 00:43:01.239 --> 00:43:03.280 two floors of the proposed units 1 to 5 00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:04.400 as well 00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:07.719 as8 meaning the new development proposed 00:43:07.800 --> 00:43:10.639 privacy all balconies that have me metal 00:43:10.719 --> 00:43:15.880 B um baton screening at 25% transparency 00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:17.320 this will certainly have an effect on 00:43:17.400 --> 00:43:20.440 the Privacy from the balconies and from 00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:23.400 the residents at 158 balcon Road it 00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:25.199 should be opay glass as a strong 00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:27.880 recommendation 00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:30.400 that will afford maximum privacy for 00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:32.760 both sound and vision external lighting 00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:35.960 is also an issue uh the balconies must 00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:38.000 be shielded the light must be 00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:41.360 shielded to include uh any intrusion 00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:45.000 into the sleeping Quarters on 158 00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:48.400 proposed 14 AC units 7 horsepower 00:43:48.480 --> 00:43:50.440 reverse cycle potentially all operating 00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:53.719 in unison will excel exceed noise levels 00:43:53.800 --> 00:43:56.440 at dawn to dusk or DUS to Dawn I should 00:43:56.519 --> 00:43:59.800 say my apologies um you can imagine if 00:43:59.880 --> 00:44:02.480 14 units are going one unit's acceptable 00:44:02.559 --> 00:44:05.159 noise level 14 at once which is quite 00:44:05.239 --> 00:44:08.519 within reasonable uh reason being 00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:11.760 reasonable um that will be excessive um 00:44:11.840 --> 00:44:15.719 the size of the the size of the um 00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:17.840 proposed development whilst it's got 00:44:17.920 --> 00:44:20.760 some SDA and uh maximum of accommodation 00:44:20.840 --> 00:44:24.639 to eight of TW it has 23 beds not eight 00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:26.880 which is a bit confusing 00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:29.199 the traffic and parking on Balon road is 00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:31.360 also horrific especially since the 00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:33.280 railway Gates were removed and an extra 00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:35.840 two sets of lights are put in within 300 00:44:35.920 --> 00:44:38.559 M of the traffic the exist the Old 00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:41.559 Railway crossing the fence Heights must 00:44:41.639 --> 00:44:46.840 be also adhere to as far as the um as as 00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:50.239 as request or as Works in Menon page 00:44:50.320 --> 00:44:53.920 35 uh the other issue is there's V there 00:44:54.000 --> 00:44:56.199 is no visitor parking for outside 00:44:56.280 --> 00:44:58.199 medical visitors or friendly or family 00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:01.119 visitors proposal assumes residents will 00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:03.599 not drive so rely on transport support 00:45:03.679 --> 00:45:06.360 from family and friends and medical um 00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:08.079 that will be a major issue because there 00:45:08.159 --> 00:45:09.840 is no 00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:11.719 parking that is me thank

councilors Mark stovich is my name I'm a 00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:37.280 town planner and I represent the uh 00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:40.199 permit applicant uh you'd be aware that 00:46:40.280 --> 00:46:43.079 this is a very well-located site it's um 00:46:43.159 --> 00:46:45.840 located in the activity center Zone 00:46:45.920 --> 00:46:49.559 being a major activity center uh and it 00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:53.360 it's unusual because it has uh so many 00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:55.280 um positive attributes at a buts of Main 00:46:55.360 --> 00:46:58.000 Road it's opposite of Supermarket it has 00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:00.360 a driveway bule directly to its West it 00:47:00.440 --> 00:47:03.599 has an unusual laneway of 6 to 9 m in 00:47:03.679 --> 00:47:06.599 WID the rear as well uh and um 00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:09.239 importantly all of the land um AB 00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:12.639 butting and opposite is also located 00:47:12.719 --> 00:47:15.039 within the activity center zone so um we 00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:17.639 suggest you it's an entirely ideal site 00:47:17.719 --> 00:47:20.440 for this proposal in fact your own uh 00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:23.039 policies suggests that um housing at 00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:25.719 higher densities in this sort of form is 00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:29.000 encouraged in an activity center Zone um 00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:31.039 very quickly uh we started work with 00:47:31.119 --> 00:47:33.360 council's officers um back in November 00:47:33.440 --> 00:47:34.079 of 00:47:34.159 --> 00:47:37.000 2022 particularly the urban designer 00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:39.400 it's a unique site it's a site where 00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:41.719 four stories and up to 14 m is 00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:45.119 contemplated this is a four-story 12.6 M 00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:47.840 height building uh five two-bedroom 00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:50.360 dwellings and nine 00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:53.079 Community ability accommodation units 00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:55.760 which uh is very unique and it's one 00:47:55.840 --> 00:47:58.320 that's in significantly high demand in 00:47:58.400 --> 00:48:01.000 fact the statistics for um Kingston 00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:04.159 specifically here from the ndis suggest 00:48:04.239 --> 00:48:07.320 that uh 37 participants are actively 00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:09.800 seeking specialist disability 00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:12.559 accommodation either improved livability 00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:15.360 or high physical support and this 00:48:15.440 --> 00:48:19.719 development caters for both um so with 00:48:19.800 --> 00:48:21.880 the combination of two bedroom uh 00:48:21.960 --> 00:48:24.360 dwellings at the ground plus the nine 00:48:24.440 --> 00:48:27.039 SDA units we think it's really um well 00:48:27.119 --> 00:48:30.000 placed to satisfy critical Community 00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:34.119 needs in a really ideal location parking 00:48:34.199 --> 00:48:36.559 um is um meeting the relevant 00:48:36.639 --> 00:48:39.400 requirements council's Traffic Engineers 00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:40.760 are comfortable as well as the 00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:43.039 Department of Transport and I think it's 00:48:43.119 --> 00:48:46.239 important to note that in um uh late 00:48:46.320 --> 00:48:48.119 last year in November we met with a 00:48:48.199 --> 00:48:51.239 resident um group there were six uh 00:48:51.320 --> 00:48:54.440 objections one was actually uh withdrawn 00:48:54.519 --> 00:48:56.679 the property immediately to the east but 00:48:56.760 --> 00:48:59.119 in terms of the response to that a 00:48:59.199 --> 00:49:01.039 number of the conditions that you see in 00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:03.519 the recommendation um also fell out of 00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:05.320 discussions with the officers as a 00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:07.920 result of that meeting around U 00:49:08.000 --> 00:49:10.920 centralized activity uh sorry um air 00:49:11.000 --> 00:49:13.000 conditioning condenser units boundary 00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:15.480 paling fence Heights compliance 00:49:15.559 --> 00:49:17.800 screening construction management plan 00:49:17.880 --> 00:49:20.039 those sorts of issues um to deal with 00:49:20.119 --> 00:49:22.760 some of the immediate amenity concerns 00:49:22.840 --> 00:49:26.440 that were raised by uh the objectives at 00:49:26.519 --> 00:49:29.360 the time of the the meeting so we think 00:49:29.440 --> 00:49:31.159 in terms of the recommendation that's 00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:33.840 been put to you this evening uh it's 00:49:33.920 --> 00:49:36.079 thorough it comes out of the best part 00:49:36.159 --> 00:49:39.760 of uh 14 months or so of work between 00:49:39.840 --> 00:49:41.920 our office varied Allied

one I've got to be entirely honest 00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:03.440 um a lot of backwards and forwards 00:51:03.519 --> 00:51:06.159 between Council offices um I do 00:51:06.239 --> 00:51:07.760 acknowledge the you know the large 00:51:07.840 --> 00:51:10.239 amount of work that has actually gone in 00:51:10.320 --> 00:51:13.800 um to this application um I do note that 00:51:13.880 --> 00:51:17.400 the recommendation included I think 34 00:51:17.480 --> 00:51:22.039 uh conditions um to be placed on it also 00:51:22.119 --> 00:51:26.599 um and I do understand you know we we 00:51:26.679 --> 00:51:31.159 have a um an objective um that we're 00:51:31.239 --> 00:51:34.360 trying to reach um the fact that the SDA 00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:37.079 accommodation was included in this 00:51:37.159 --> 00:51:40.440 proposal um I I think helped even 00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:43.679 further that in that regard the thing I 00:51:43.760 --> 00:51:46.679 I've I keep on coming back to and and I 00:51:46.760 --> 00:51:49.679 I'm I'm hoping that maybe my fellow 00:51:49.760 --> 00:51:53.000 councilors share that same concern is um 00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:55.760 when we have this is a a pre Precinct 00:51:55.840 --> 00:51:57.920 within the activity center Zone but 00:51:58.000 --> 00:52:00.320 literally this property is the end of 00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:02.199 that Precinct so the neighboring 00:52:02.280 --> 00:52:05.119 properties that are you know in essence 00:52:05.199 --> 00:52:07.960 uh Residential Properties which um the 00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:09.800 objector tonight has spoken to and I've 00:52:09.880 --> 00:52:12.440 spoken to another objector who I think 00:52:12.519 --> 00:52:14.639 might be here in the room um this 00:52:14.719 --> 00:52:17.119 evening as well 00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:22.119 um I I I I I I struggle with the um 00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:24.199 interface and the built form of a 00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:26.639 four-story building a butting a single 00:52:26.719 --> 00:52:31.599 story um uh development next door uh it 00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:34.119 leads us well it leads me to think you 00:52:34.199 --> 00:52:36.360 know is there an opportunity to maybe 00:52:36.440 --> 00:52:39.360 Place further conditions around making 00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:43.679 the um uh the setbacks in line with with 00:52:43.760 --> 00:52:45.960 what's required but once we start doing 00:52:46.039 --> 00:52:50.079 that it really um it it really impacts 00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:53.119 on the entire um on the entire 00:52:53.199 --> 00:52:56.199 development so I think where I've landed 00:52:56.280 --> 00:52:57.760 is it's it's 00:52:57.840 --> 00:53:01.679 probably neater and and also fairer um 00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:06.599 to to issue a notice of refusal and um 00:53:06.679 --> 00:53:07.960 yeah I think I'll just leave my comments 00:53:08.039 --> 00:53:11.039 there anyway so thank 00:53:12.079 --> 00:53:15.039 you thank you very

acknowledge in the room we 00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:48.440 have the president of ment own life 00:54:48.519 --> 00:54:50.480 saving club uh Russell re so thank you 00:54:50.559 --> 00:54:53.280 for joining us this evening as well 00:54:53.360 --> 00:54:58.079 Russell um so uh look this is uh a bit 00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:02.000 of an anomaly in that the club had well 00:55:02.079 --> 00:55:04.760 the old building the club um has always 00:55:04.840 --> 00:55:07.599 operated with a restricted liquor 00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:11.039 license um but with the um with the new 00:55:11.119 --> 00:55:13.760 building um for one the actual footprint 00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:16.159 of the building has significantly 00:55:16.239 --> 00:55:20.400 changed um when you look at um uh liquor 00:55:20.480 --> 00:55:23.039 licenses there's always a red line plan 00:55:23.119 --> 00:55:25.760 attached and the red line plan has had 00:55:25.840 --> 00:55:28.440 to significantly change because of the 00:55:28.519 --> 00:55:32.960 new form of the building um there's uh 00:55:33.039 --> 00:55:34.920 the advertising that went on for this 00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:39.280 proposal was significant um uh certainly 00:55:39.360 --> 00:55:42.079 uh many many local residents received 00:55:42.159 --> 00:55:44.719 information uh when the application went 00:55:44.800 --> 00:55:48.440 out um to the public and I really I 00:55:48.519 --> 00:55:50.800 think it's significant to note that no 00:55:50.880 --> 00:55:53.400 um objections were received in response 00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:56.199 to that uh 00:55:56.280 --> 00:55:59.880 the club has been able to somewhat uh 00:55:59.960 --> 00:56:02.360 still uh still operate over the busy 00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:06.039 summer period with a um an existing 00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:10.159 restricted license um but I think this 00:56:10.239 --> 00:56:12.480 will be you know really closing the loop 00:56:12.559 --> 00:56:14.360 and I'm sure the club will be very happy 00:56:14.440 --> 00:56:17.440 if um we can support uh the 00:56:17.519 --> 00:56:19.880 recommendation as it as it's laid out 00:56:19.960 --> 00:56:22.400 and uh it really will go to the club 00:56:22.480 --> 00:56:23.679 being able to and the building being 00:56:23.760 --> 00:56:25.719 able to fulfill its function 00:56:25.800 --> 00:56:28.639 uh whereby club members guests of 00:56:28.719 --> 00:56:30.880 members and also people wanting to run 00:56:30.960 --> 00:56:34.239 functions at the uh at the new venue um 00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:37.239 this will help facilitate that and uh 00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:39.360 hopefully lots of people can get down to 00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:42.079 their local club and support it so 00:56:42.159 --> 00:56:45.440 uh thank you thank you

01:10:18.880 --> 01:10:22.760 needs to be published um however I do 01:10:22.840 --> 01:10:25.960 acknowledge that that um sometimes the 01:10:26.039 --> 01:10:29.199 minutes um might you know may not 01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:31.880 reflect uh who was there and if a 01:10:31.960 --> 01:10:33.920 councilor was present then they can go 01:10:34.000 --> 01:10:36.279 back to the minute taking officer and 01:10:36.359 --> 01:10:39.720 governance um to um correct the 01:10:39.800 --> 01:10:41.439 information that's being presented so 01:10:41.520 --> 01:10:43.760 I'm happy to move that and if there's a

motion 01:10:51.840 --> 01:10:53.439 thank you councilor stos and I believe 01:10:53.520 --> 01:10:55.880 that that councilor Davies has um agreed 01:10:55.960 --> 01:10:57.319 to the amendment would

01:11:10.520 think that the fact that this came to us 01:11:10.600 --> 01:11:14.079 at CIS um a week or so ago shows that um 01:11:14.159 --> 01:11:16.840 they're quite able to manage it um I 01:11:16.920 --> 01:11:18.520 think it is a really really interesting 01:11:18.600 --> 01:11:20.840 report because those members of our 01:11:20.920 --> 01:11:23.119 community who want to know what our 01:11:23.199 --> 01:11:24.720 Council have been doing you will see 01:11:24.800 --> 01:11:26.119 that there is quite a lot of things we 01:11:26.199 --> 01:11:28.600 do besides attending um this

01:15:04.720 --> 01:15:09.840 like to debate or contribute councilor 01:15:10.119 --> 01:15:13.279 Hill thank you and um thanks too to all 01:15:13.359 --> 01:15:15.640 the officers who have contributed to um 01:15:15.720 --> 01:15:18.520 putting this report together um you know 01:15:18.600 --> 01:15:21.000 it was pulled together very quickly so 01:15:21.079 --> 01:15:22.520 uh especially given the time of year 01:15:22.600 --> 01:15:24.760 it's much appr appreciated that this um 01:15:24.840 --> 01:15:26.479 you could be brought to us so so 01:15:26.560 --> 01:15:28.479 promptly in January or February I should 01:15:28.560 --> 01:15:32.800 say February January um so uh I just 01:15:32.880 --> 01:15:34.760 wanted to say like one thing as I go 01:15:34.840 --> 01:15:38.000 through um the attendance records I 01:15:38.079 --> 01:15:40.439 don't think the purpose of this was to 01:15:40.520 --> 01:15:42.479 like illustrate that you know any 01:15:42.560 --> 01:15:45.039 particular Council was at every single 01:15:45.119 --> 01:15:46.399 um meeting or function that they could 01:15:46.479 --> 01:15:48.680 have possibly been at uh you know 01:15:48.760 --> 01:15:51.640 because at the end of the day what what 01:15:51.720 --> 01:15:55.119 is uh often um in our in our Diaries on 01:15:55.199 --> 01:15:56.880 a weekly basis you know we just 01:15:56.960 --> 01:15:59.600 physically can't be everywhere um I 01:15:59.680 --> 01:16:01.279 think what is useful though and I think 01:16:01.359 --> 01:16:03.079 it's really timely that this is um 01:16:03.159 --> 01:16:06.159 coming to us in the year of a council 01:16:06.239 --> 01:16:07.520 election which will occur later in the 01:16:07.600 --> 01:16:11.920 year just to illustrate um the the time 01:16:12.000 --> 01:16:13.560 that or the time commitment on 01:16:13.640 --> 01:16:16.920 councilors I think it's uh it's 01:16:17.000 --> 01:16:19.079 something that that was you know really 01:16:19.159 --> 01:16:20.680 important to me to have a better 01:16:20.760 --> 01:16:23.319 understanding of when I chose to run um 01:16:23.399 --> 01:16:25.119 and I'm I'm sure that you know everybody 01:16:25.199 --> 01:16:27.439 probably felt the same as well because 01:16:27.520 --> 01:16:28.359 at the end of the day when you're 01:16:28.439 --> 01:16:30.520 holding down a full-time job as well as 01:16:30.600 --> 01:16:33.880 doing councel work uh you know you you 01:16:33.960 --> 01:16:35.600 need a pretty thorough understanding of 01:16:35.680 --> 01:16:38.039 exactly what the role is what it you 01:16:38.119 --> 01:16:40.239 know because it goes a lot further than 01:16:40.319 --> 01:16:42.399 tonight you know than a ordinary meeting 01:16:42.479 --> 01:16:45.560 once once a month um so I think it's 01:16:45.640 --> 01:16:49.680 just really uh you know a useful report 01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:52.119 I think it should be just taken at face 01:16:52.199 --> 01:16:54.800 value um it shows attendance to be 01:16:54.880 --> 01:16:56.880 honest although information has been 01:16:56.960 --> 01:16:59.000 gathered from reports I I believe that 01:16:59.079 --> 01:17:01.800 are already kind of in the public domain 01:17:01.880 --> 01:17:04.439 anyway so it's not uh you know it's not 01:17:04.520 --> 01:17:06.039 bringing out new information it's just 01:17:06.119 --> 01:17:08.560 collating it in a simple to read uh 01:17:08.640 --> 01:17:10.800 document and yeah I think it'll be quite 01:17:10.880 --> 01:17:13.399 useful to anyone contemplate 01:17:13.479 --> 01:17:16.359 contemplating running later this year um 01:17:16.439 --> 01:17:18.840 to just make sure that you know they 01:17:18.920 --> 01:17:20.439 they're got the ability to actually 01:17:20.520 --> 01:17:21.600 commit the amount of time that's 01:17:21.680 --> 01:17:23.880 necessary to to fulfill the role so 01:17:23.960 --> 01:17:26.159 thank you thank you councilor Hill for 01:17:26.239 --> 01:17:28.800 your contribution councilors I will now 01:17:28.880 --> 01:17:32.039 put this item to the vote I don't 01:17:32.119 --> 01:17:33.520 believe it requires any further debate 01:17:33.600 --> 01:17:34.920 if you could please raise your hand if 01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:36.760 you are in 01:17:36.840 --> 01:17:41.159 favour thank you I declare that carried 01:17:43.800 -->

it um I I think that 01:18:31.199 --> 01:18:34.359 this is going to be a good uh move uh 01:18:34.439 --> 01:18:37.840 for Council to adopt this policy um and 01:18:37.920 --> 01:18:41.119 to to move

needs of all our 01:19:16.119 --> 01:19:18.760 tenants um what we're basically doing 01:19:18.840 --> 01:19:21.600 here is we're we're splitting every uh 01:19:21.680 --> 01:19:23.840 splitting all our tenants in into one of 01:19:23.920 --> 01:19:27.159 uh four groups in in effect and um 01:19:27.239 --> 01:19:30.399 there's also uh you know a way that we 01:19:30.479 --> 01:19:33.319 calculate a lease uh including a subsidy 01:19:33.399 --> 01:19:35.880 that applies depending on which category 01:19:35.960 --> 01:19:40.279 um the the uh tenant Falls within um but 01:19:40.359 --> 01:19:43.199 there's also uh provision for um a 01:19:43.279 --> 01:19:45.279 discount that can be applied in certain 01:19:45.359 --> 01:19:48.119 circumstances so I think it's uh very 01:19:48.199 --> 01:19:50.840 fair and Equitable um I am very 01:19:50.920 --> 01:19:51.840 comfortable with the level of 01:19:51.920 --> 01:19:55.159 consultation that's gone on um as well 01:19:55.239 --> 01:19:57.199 so there are no real surprises I don't 01:19:57.279 --> 01:19:59.680 believe with this and uh yeah it'll be a 01:19:59.760 --> 01:20:01.319 good Modern Way of moving forward with 01:20:01.399 --> 01:20:02.640 this thank 01:20:02.720 --> 01:20:05.880 you thank you very much Council as I'll 01:20:05.960 --> 01:20:09.039 put this item to the vote all those in 01:20:09.119 --> 01:20:13.039 favour I declare that carried 01:20:13.600 --> 01:20:16.520 unanimously the next item on the agenda 01:20:16.600 --> 01:20:19.359 is item 12.1 notice of motion councilor 01:20:19.439 -->

seconder councilor 01:20:37.000 --> 01:20:42.159 hill and councilor St thank you mayor um 01:20:42.239 --> 01:20:45.119 I'm just uh wanting to speak to this 01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:47.960 item obviously it's my notice of motion 01:20:48.039 --> 01:20:51.119 um I do think that uh as I may have 01:20:51.199 --> 01:20:54.479 explained to some uh to to The Forum you 01:20:54.560 --> 01:20:56.359 were speaking of the councilor 01:20:56.439 --> 01:20:58.920 information session um I do believe it 01:20:59.000 --> 01:21:01.840 is important for councilors um 01:21:01.920 --> 01:21:03.840 particularly incoming councilors that 01:21:03.920 --> 01:21:07.039 will be elected uh at the conclusion of 01:21:07.119 --> 01:21:10.760 this term fully understand um that there 01:21:10.840 --> 01:21:13.800 is a position description um that has 01:21:13.880 --> 01:21:15.840 been considered by Kingston Council 01:21:15.920 --> 01:21:17.560 about what it means to be a councilor 01:21:17.640 --> 01:21:19.760 and that the work that's required to go 01:21:19.840 --> 01:21:24.279 into being a councilor um as is noted in 01:21:24.359 --> 01:21:25.560 the 01:21:25.640 --> 01:21:30.359 um Preamble uh there are some 01:21:30.439 --> 01:21:37.399 uh elements that appear uh in the um 01:21:37.479 --> 01:21:39.319 there are some elements about the 01:21:39.399 --> 01:21:41.399 position of a councilor that appear in 01:21:41.479 --> 01:21:45.159 the ACT um but that is not it if a 01:21:45.239 --> 01:21:48.800 councilor simply undertook their 01:21:48.880 --> 01:21:51.840 duties um at the bare minimum as 01:21:51.920 --> 01:21:55.279 required by the ACT I believe that the 01:21:55.359 --> 01:21:58.319 community would be short changed uh I 01:21:58.399 --> 01:22:01.680 believe that uh every councilor uh has a 01:22:01.760 --> 01:22:05.359 duty um particularly at Kingston Council 01:22:05.439 --> 01:22:07.359 uh to serve their Community to the best 01:22:07.439 --> 01:22:11.279 of their ability um and therefore what 01:22:11.359 --> 01:22:13.800 I'm calling for in this um notice of 01:22:13.880 --> 01:22:16.920 motion is that a report be prepared and 01:22:17.000 --> 01:22:21.319 that report be um informed with 01:22:21.399 --> 01:22:23.880 discussions uh and consultations with 01:22:23.960 --> 01:22:26.319 Peak bodies uh outside of the City of 01:22:26.399 --> 01:22:28.520 Kingston and also being informed with 01:22:28.600 --> 01:22:31.680 practices at this Council so that we can 01:22:31.760 --> 01:22:34.000 come up that our governance officers can 01:22:34.079 --> 01:22:38.079 come up with um position descriptions 01:22:38.159 --> 01:22:40.319 and key performance indicators for our 01:22:40.399 --> 01:22:43.359 consideration in a further report um so 01:22:43.439 --> 01:22:45.000 that's all I'm doing tonight I'm calling 01:22:45.079 --> 01:22:47.800 for a report um and the officers have 01:22:47.880 --> 01:22:49.880 confirmed that they are able to put that 01:22:49.960 --> 01:22:52.800 together by April um with a view for 01:22:52.880 --> 01:22:54.880 Council to then particularly come back 01:22:54.960 --> 01:22:58.119 consider it and adopt it as an ed 01:22:58.199 --> 01:22:59.680 educative 01:22:59.760 --> 01:23:04.399 educative um piece uh particularly for 01:23:04.479 --> 01:23:09.199 incoming councilors uh for the 200 and 01:23:09.279 --> 01:23:12.640 24-28 Council term thank you thank you 01:23:12.720 --> 01:23:15.359 very much councilor stos councilor Hill 01:23:15.439 --> 01:23:18.039 do you wish to speak to this 01:23:18.119 --> 01:23:21.039 item yeah thank you mayor jdb um not 01:23:21.119 --> 01:23:23.720 wanting to double up too much but um 01:23:23.800 --> 01:23:26.520 yeah just again supporting um Council 01:23:26.600 --> 01:23:30.840 stos and I think the uh what's what's 01:23:30.920 --> 01:23:35.560 lays behind um this request as well um I 01:23:35.640 --> 01:23:37.319 only just spoke to the fact that you 01:23:37.399 --> 01:23:39.039 know we have council elections this year 01:23:39.119 --> 01:23:40.840 I really do think that this will give 01:23:40.920 --> 01:23:44.119 greater um clarification to any you know 01:23:44.199 --> 01:23:46.880 um applicant but also um to the new 01:23:46.960 --> 01:23:50.359 councilors It's I I do recall sort of 01:23:50.439 --> 01:23:53.039 hitting the ground running very fast 01:23:53.119 --> 01:23:55.279 when when you um sort of I think it's a 01:23:55.359 --> 01:23:56.640 couple of weeks after you're elected 01:23:56.720 --> 01:23:57.760 that you're already in your first 01:23:57.840 --> 01:24:00.520 ordinary meeting um and I I do think 01:24:00.600 --> 01:24:02.680 anything that really spells out and 01:24:02.760 --> 01:24:05.000 takes away any of the gray um as to 01:24:05.079 --> 01:24:07.119 exactly what your responsibilities and 01:24:07.199 --> 01:24:09.199 and the expectations are is only going 01:24:09.279 --> 01:24:12.279 to help uh the new councilor group um 01:24:12.359 --> 01:24:14.960 especially so I think this is a really a 01:24:15.039 --> 01:24:16.960 really you know positive idea and be 01:24:17.039 --> 01:24:19.239 very interested to see uh the officer 01:24:19.319 --> 01:24:20.720 report when it comes back to us in a few 01:24:20.800 --> 01:24:23.199 months time thank you 01:24:23.279 --> 01:24:26.560 thank you very much councilor 01:24:26.640 --> 01:24:30.520 Hal thank you and I've heard 01:24:30.600 --> 01:24:32.319 the 01:24:32.399 --> 01:24:34.560 statement council elections thrown 01:24:34.640 --> 01:24:37.560 around a little bit on this subject and 01:24:37.640 --> 01:24:39.000 what people don't want to see is a 01:24:39.079 --> 01:24:40.960 politicalized council they want to see a 01:24:41.039 --> 01:24:43.119 classical Council that is addressing the 01:24:43.199 --> 01:24:46.399 fundamental needs of of the community 01:24:46.479 --> 01:24:50.600 and where we've got an employee based 01:24:50.680 --> 01:24:53.039 kpi which is a key performance indicator 01:24:53.119 --> 01:24:54.159 for those that aren't aware of that 01:24:54.239 --> 01:24:57.399 acronym being applied to a councilor I 01:24:57.479 --> 01:25:00.000 do feel that it is misaligned 01:25:00.079 --> 01:25:04.039 because every suburb has different needs 01:25:04.119 --> 01:25:05.840 but those fundamental needs are the 01:25:05.920 --> 01:25:07.640 basic things that the council should be 01:25:07.720 --> 01:25:09.840 doing it's it's it's repairing the foot 01:25:09.920 --> 01:25:12.800 paths it's keeping the council 01:25:12.880 --> 01:25:15.680 presentable with appropriate landscaping 01:25:15.760 --> 01:25:18.199 and and ensuring the grass is cut and 01:25:18.279 --> 01:25:19.680 it's removing graffiti and it's all 01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:22.680 these things but at the end of the day 01:25:22.760 --> 01:25:23.640 the 01:25:23.720 --> 01:25:26.520 councilor they are accountable to the 01:25:26.600 --> 01:25:29.239 rate payer not to a kpi they are 01:25:29.319 --> 01:25:32.960 accountable to the rate payer and the 01:25:33.039 --> 01:25:37.119 councilor will only be voted back in if 01:25:37.199 --> 01:25:39.439 their election platform resonates with 01:25:39.520 --> 01:25:41.560 the rate payer they will not be 01:25:41.640 --> 01:25:44.760 reelected if they get a 10 out of 10 for 01:25:44.840 --> 01:25:47.319 a key performance indicator it will not 01:25:47.399 --> 01:25:48.800 affect their 01:25:48.880 --> 01:25:51.319 reelection what will re affect their 01:25:51.399 --> 01:25:52.720 reelection 01:25:52.800 --> 01:25:55.119 is how strongly they represent the needs 01:25:55.199 --> 01:25:57.119 of the individual suburbs of which 01:25:57.199 --> 01:25:59.319 they've been appointed to represent over 01:25:59.399 --> 01:26:03.039 the course of their time on Council and 01:26:03.119 --> 01:26:04.640 how well they can pitch themselves to 01:26:04.720 --> 01:26:07.039 the public when they are voting again so 01:26:07.119 --> 01:26:09.119 there's a significant difference between 01:26:09.199 --> 01:26:11.800 an employee and a councilor which is 01:26:11.880 --> 01:26:13.800 almost like a pseudo politician that's 01:26:13.880 --> 01:26:16.279 voted in again on the merits of their 01:26:16.359 --> 01:26:18.520 election platform that is what they they 01:26:18.600 --> 01:26:20.640 should be measured against someone 01:26:20.720 --> 01:26:23.119 should pick up the uh election platform 01:26:23.199 --> 01:26:25.520 of let's say our mayor here Jenna Davy 01:26:25.600 --> 01:26:27.079 Burns and look at what was in her 01:26:27.159 --> 01:26:30.720 platform and ask themselves well did did 01:26:30.800 --> 01:26:32.600 that particular counsel represent those 01:26:32.680 --> 01:26:35.439 needs yes or no and and and what is it 01:26:35.520 --> 01:26:37.920 that counsel sorry the mayor Jen DAV 01:26:38.000 --> 01:26:39.640 Bern is standing for this time and what 01:26:39.720 --> 01:26:41.840 is it she's going to deliver in terms of 01:26:41.920 --> 01:26:43.680 uh the benefit to the area in which I'm 01:26:43.760 --> 01:26:46.439 living in so I don't know where this is 01:26:46.520 --> 01:26:49.319 headed what I can say is that there is a 01:26:49.399 --> 01:26:52.199 strong difference between an employee 01:26:52.279 --> 01:26:54.239 someone behind me and someone sitting at 01:26:54.319 --> 01:26:57.159 this table I just want to make that 01:26:57.239 --> 01:26:59.560 really established when people are 01:26:59.640 --> 01:27:02.520 voting on this tonight thank you thank 01:27:02.600 --> 01:27:04.800 you very much councilor Hal would any 01:27:04.880 --> 01:27:07.600 other councilors like to speak to this 01:27:07.680 --> 01:27:11.079 item councilor 01:27:11.399 --> 01:27:14.039 Davies um thank you look just just a 01:27:14.119 --> 01:27:15.920 couple of comments um from all the 01:27:16.000 --> 01:27:18.680 councilors who've just spoken I I key 01:27:18.760 --> 01:27:20.239 performance indicators don't actually 01:27:20.319 --> 01:27:22.800 just apply to employees I do take on 01:27:22.880 --> 01:27:24.359 board that key performance indicators 01:27:24.439 --> 01:27:27.239 are um often used in relation to 01:27:27.319 --> 01:27:29.640 employees um and I totally agree with 01:27:29.720 --> 01:27:31.399 what all three councilors have said in 01:27:31.479 --> 01:27:34.439 terms of we do need to be accountable 01:27:34.520 --> 01:27:38.199 and I I this motion appeals to me 01:27:38.279 --> 01:27:41.359 because it is another gauge for the 01:27:41.439 --> 01:27:43.840 residents who really most residents 01:27:43.920 --> 01:27:46.920 don't listen into Council meetings um 01:27:47.000 --> 01:27:49.640 some do some don't but this is a a way 01:27:49.720 --> 01:27:52.159 that they can go on to our website 01:27:52.239 --> 01:27:53.960 presumably at point we will create 01:27:54.039 --> 01:27:56.800 something that's public where they can 01:27:56.880 --> 01:27:59.159 see what their councilors are doing so 01:27:59.239 --> 01:28:00.680 you you're not always aware I know look 01:28:00.760 --> 01:28:04.840 my mother is um doesn't follow some of 01:28:04.920 --> 01:28:07.000 her councils listen to the radio Etc but 01:28:07.079 --> 01:28:09.319 you know you do have people who don't do 01:28:09.399 --> 01:28:12.039 that but when they come to vote for 01:28:12.119 --> 01:28:14.199 their councilors every four years that's 01:28:14.279 --> 01:28:15.920 when their mind gets focused so I think 01:28:16.000 --> 01:28:19.399 if we have a tool and I think that this 01:28:19.479 --> 01:28:22.359 tool does set out important information 01:28:22.439 --> 01:28:24.399 that we as councilors should work 01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:27.319 towards because yes we do get a lot of 01:28:27.399 --> 01:28:29.479 day to-day queries from our residents 01:28:29.560 --> 01:28:32.319 but our primary um under the Local 01:28:32.399 --> 01:28:33.840 Government Act our primary thing is 01:28:33.920 --> 01:28:35.720 strategic development for the entire 01:28:35.800 --> 01:28:38.800 City even though we have specific Wards 01:28:38.880 --> 01:28:40.720 I do think it's important that we are 01:28:40.800 --> 01:28:43.840 able to be aware of our overarching 01:28:43.920 --> 01:28:46.880 obligations and that there are um 01:28:46.960 --> 01:28:48.920 whether you want to call it kpis or 01:28:49.000 --> 01:28:50.720 position descriptions but something that 01:28:50.800 --> 01:28:52.600 directs us to turn our mind mind to it 01:28:52.680 --> 01:28:54.359 and make sure as a check and a balance
