Disclosure of Interests
Notes for
Your Guidance
Impact of a
Financial Interest (s. 5.65. & s. 67.
Local Government Act 1995)
A
member who has a Financial Interest in any matter to be discussed at a Council or
Committee Meeting, which will be attended by the member, must disclose the
nature of the interest:
a. In a written notice given to the Chief Executive
Officer before the Meeting or;
b. At the Meeting immediately before the matter is
discussed.
A member, who makes a
disclosure in respect to an interest, must not:
a. Preside at the part of the Meeting relating to the
matter or;
b. Participate in, or be present during, any discussion
or decision making procedure relative to the matter, unless and to the extent
that, the disclosing member is allowed to do so under Section 5.68 or Section
5.69 of the Local Government Act 1995.
Interests
Affecting Financial Interest
The
following notes are a basic guide for Councillors when they are considering
whether they have a Financial Interest in a
matter.
1. A Financial Interest, pursuant to s. 5.60A or 5.61
of the Local Government Act 1995, requiring disclosure occurs when a
Council decision might advantageously or detrimentally affect the Councillor or
a person closely associated with the Councillor and is capable of being
measured in money terms. There are expectations in the Local Government Act
1995 but they should not be relied on without advice, unless the situation
is very clear.
2. If a Councillor is a member of an Association (which
is a Body Corporate) with not less than 10 members i.e sporting, social,
religious etc, and the Councillor is not a holder of office of profit or a
guarantor, and has not leased land to or from the club, i.e, if the Councillor
is an ordinary member of the Association, the Councillor has a common and not a
financial interest in any matter to that Association.
3. If an interest is shared in common with a significant
number of electors and ratepayers, then the obligation to disclose that
interest does not arise. Each case needs to be considered.
4. If in doubt declare.
5. As stated if written notice disclosing the interest
has not been given to the Chief Executive Officer before the meeting, then it must be
given when the matter arises in the Agenda, and immediately before the matter
is discussed. Under s. 5.65 of the Local Government Act 1995
failure to notify carries a penalty of $10 000 or imprisonment for 2 years.
6. Ordinarily the disclosing Councillor must leave the
meeting room before discussion commences. The only exceptions are:
6.1 Where
the Councillor discloses the extent of the interest, and Council carries a motion
under s.5.68(1)(b)(ii) of the Local Government Act 1995; or
6.2 Where
the Minister allows the Councillor to participate under s.5.69(3) of the
Local Government Act 1955, with or without conditions.
Interests
Affecting Proximity (s. 5.60b Local Government Act 1995)
1. For the purposes of this subdivision, a person has a
proximity interest, pursuant to s.5.60B of the Local Government Act 1995,
in a matter if the matter concerns;
- a
proposed change to a planning scheme affecting land that adjoins the
person’s land; or
- a
proposed change to the zoning or use of land that adjoins the
person’s land; or
- a
proposed development (as defined in section 5.63(5)) of land that adjoins
the person’s land.
2. In this section, land (the proposal land) adjoins a
person’s land if;
- The
proposal land, not being a thoroughfare, has a common boundary with the
person’s land; or
- The
proposal land, or any part of it, is directly across a thoroughfare from,
the person’s land; or
- The
proposal land is that part of a thoroughfare that has a common boundary
with the person’s land.
3. In this section a reference to a person’s land
is a reference to any land owned by the person or in which the person has any
estate or interest.
Interests Affecting Impartiality
Definition:
An interest, pursuant to Regulation 11 of the Local Government (Rules of Conduct)
Regulations 2007, that would give rise to a reasonable belief that the
impartiality of the person having the interest would be adversely affected, but
does not include an interest as referred to in Section 5.60 of the
‘Act’.
A
member who has an Interest Affecting
Impartiality in any matter to be discussed at a Council or Committee
Meeting, which will be attended by the member, must disclose the nature of the
interest;
a. In a written notice given to the Chief Executive
Officers before the Meeting or;
b. At the Meeting, immediately before the matter is
discussed
Impact of an Impartiality
disClosure
There
are very different outcomes resulting from disclosing an interest affecting
impartiality compared to that of a financial interest. With the declaration of
a financial interest, an elected member leaves the room and does not vote.
With
the declaration of this type of interest, the elected member stays in the room,
participates in the debate and votes. In effect then, following disclosure of
an interest affecting impartiality, the member’s involvement in the
Meeting continues as if no interest existed.

Saving Animals from Euthanasia Inc (SAFE) Esperance
Location/Address
Shire of Esperance Animal
Management Facility located at 31 Brazier Street Chadwick, Esperance.
Executive Summary
For Council to consider a request from SAFE Esperance
to use the Shire’s Animal Management Facility (AMF) in urgent
circumstances, supported by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Recommendation in Brief
That Council supports the request from SAFE Esperance
to use the AMF in urgent circumstances.
Background
On 1 April 2022 a request was received from the local
coordinator of SAFE Esperance (also employed by the Shire as a pound assistant)
to use the AMF in urgent circumstances where no temporary careers or housing
options are available.
This request was received in the lead up to Easter
where there was no availability for Abalee Cattery and Kennels or with
nominated animal Carers, to care for two (2) dogs in the possession of SAFE
Esperance. Consequently, the Shire permitted the use of the AMF as there was no
alternative option over the busy holiday period.
Further consideration was requested by SAFE Esperance
to use the AMF in urgent circumstances when no other options are available
locally. The request is consistent with other SAFE branches which have access
to donated kennel or cattery facilities to assist with housing animals in
emergency situations.
Officer’s Comment
SAFE Esperance is a local volunteer organisation that
strives “to save companion animals from unnecessary euthanasia through
community education, fostering, de-sexing and placing them in suitable
homes”.
They rely on the generosity of the community and use
temporary careers to open their homes to abandoned animals whilst permanent
homes are sought. The objective of SAFE is to have a positive impact on the
quality of life for companion animals and promote their value to humans through
education and awareness.
The Shire recognises the valuable work performed by
SAFE Esperance in the community and supports dog or cat cages being made
available for temporary use. Officers have worked with SAFE Esperance to
develop a MoU which outlines the various requirements of use.
This includes the need to:
· Provide a certificate of currency of
public liability to the Shire on an annual basis;
· Assume full responsibility of all
SAFE animals housed in the AMF;
· Undertake daily cleaning of all
facilities used;
· Utilise a maximum of three (3) dog
and three (3) cat cages only; and
· Acknowledge the AMF will only be
available when AMF occupancy rates are below 75%.
It is the officer’s recommendation that council support
the implementation of an MOU with SAFE Esperance to use the AMF providing the
circumstances are exceptional, and the use is not frequent in nature.
Consultation
Consultation has been undertaken internally with the
Director External Services and the Ranger Team Leader. External consultation
includes liaison with the Coordinator SAFE Esperance.
Financial Implications
There are no financial implications arising from this report.
SAFE Esperance will be responsible for providing all food and consumable items
required for the care of SAFE Esperance animals temporarily housed in the AMF,
as well as cleaning requirements.
Asset Management Implications
There are no asset management implications arising from this
report.
Statutory Implications
There are no statutory implications associated with this
item.
Policy Implications
There are no policy implications arising from this report.
Strategic Implications

Community Connection

supporting organisations and activities that bring the community together.
Encourage and support

Environmental Considerations
There
are positive environmental impacts from the important role in the community
provided by SAFE Esperance. This includes rehoming abandoned animals located
throughout the Shire.

Esperance Aged Care Facility
Location/Address
N/A
Executive Summary
For Council to consider an application for funding
from the Esperance Aged Care Facility (EACF).
Recommendation in Brief
That Council endorse a payment of $27,000 (excluding
GST) from the IGO COVID-19 Fund to EACF to assist with minor renovations and
equipment purchases to reopen a ten (10) bed wing at the facility.
Further, that Council advertise the availability of
funds remaining in the IGO COVID-19 Fund, and give direction to officers on
what to do with the balance in the event no applications are received.
Background
In June 2020 IGO Limited (IGO) allocated $150,000 to the
Shire to establish a Fund for community recovery efforts from the impacts
caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Community expenditure was assessed by the Local Recovery
Committee, who considered recommendations from the Community Support and
Economic Sub Committees. To date, $93,596 has been allocated to various groups
and organisations from the IGO COVID-19 Fund.
The Local Recovery Committee was disbanded after the local
government elections in October 2021. As such, the application from EACF to
access funding has been referred to Council for consideration.
Officer’s Comment
The aged care sector has been severely impacted by the
COVID-19 pandemic. Already experiencing staffing and skill shortages, sector
issues were further exasperated by additional restrictions and mandates to
protect the most vulnerable members of the community.
EACF decided to close two (2) of its ten (10) bed
wings to consolidate residents, and balance workloads with available staffing
during the pandemic. This reduced facility capacity and has been a subject of
community interest for some time.
EACF has developed a strategy to address staff
recruitment and retention issues, and it intends to reopen a wing at the
facility to accommodate low care residents. This will assist in reducing the
EACF waitlist and increase services to the community.
EACF is seeking $27,000 (excluding GST) in funding for
minor upgrades and resources. The application comprises $17,000 for the
purchase of ten (10) specialty mattresses and covers, $5,000 in electrical
works and $5,000 for painting and general cleaning.
The quote for the mattresses and covers is attached
with this report. The costs of electrical work and painting are industry
estimates due to limited trades availability at this time. Any additional costs
beyond that applied for will be borne by the EACF.
Consultation
Director External Services
Executive Management Team
EACF
Financial Implications
The proposed payment of $27,000 (excluding GST) will be
allocated from the IGO COVID-19 Fund which has a current balance of $56,404.
Council support of the EACF request will leave $29,404 unallocated in the Fund.
The large remaining balance is due to the Esperance Chamber
of Commerce and Industry only requiring 45% of their allocated $50,000 for
recovery activities. It is recommended Council undertake a public advertising
round to expend the remaining funds.

Shire of Esperance
IGO
Recovery Funding: Request for grant funds for Covid Recovery
Since
the beginning of COVID 19 staff shortages in aged care have become a
significant issue. Esperance Aged Care Facility (EACF) has been severely
impacted by these shortages and has been forced to close two of the ten bed
wings in order to consolidate residents to balance the workload to the
available staffing.
For
EACF to stay viable it is essential that we focus on increasing our staff and
occupancy rate. We have developed a strategy that addresses these
issues focusing at great deal of our attention and resources on recruitment and
retention. The skills shortages and the training requirements have been
recognized as such it has been identified that we will soon have the capacity
to reopening one of the ten bed wings to low care elderly community residents.
This
Recovery effort goes a long way in reducing our waiting list, enabling EACF to
generate additional revenue and bring us closer to our pre COVID position,
being a fully supported Aged Care facility.
The
proposed plan requires purchasing of new bed mattresses with covers and some
minor renovations to the wing we intend to reopen. These renovations
consist some minor electrical works and painting.
In
addition to identifying those on the current wait list for entry into
residential aged care, we will be working with the Esperance community support
team and the home care team to identify eligible community residents that are
in need of residential care.
Budget:
10
Mattresses and Covers (Specifically designed for Pressure care for use in Aged
Care). $17,000.
Electrical
works (Repair/replacement (Lights, switches, plugs etc.) $5,000
Painting
of internal walls and general cleaning $5,000.
Total
Amount requested $27,000
Your
consideration in this matter is greatly appreciated. I am more than happy
to meet with council and or shire representatives to discuss this proposal
further

Regional Power Corporation t/as Horizon Power
Location/Address
Portion of Lot 309 James Street Esperance.
Executive Summary
For Council to consider the request from Regional Power Corporation t/as
Horizon Power to
licence a portion of Lot 309 James Street, Esperance for the purpose of an
electric vehicle charging station.
Recommendation in Brief
That Council enter into a licence with Regional Power Corporation t/as
Horizon Power for
a portion of Lot 309 James Street, Esperance for the purpose of an electric
vehicle charging station.
Background
Regional Power Corporation t/as Horizon Power (Horizon Power)
has recently
been in discussions with the Shire of Esperance regarding installation of an
electric vehicle charging station, and a proposal has now been submitted for
this to be located on a portion of Lot 309 James Street, Esperance.
It is proposed that 2x DC fast chargers, 1x 150kW and
1x 75kW, be installed on the site which will allow up to 4 cars to utilise the
chargers at the same time. To allow for this, 4 car bays will be required along
with areas to install the units and associated infrastructure.
Officer’s Comment
Horizon Power’s proposal is considered to be in
the community’s benefit as it will allow those who own electric vehicles
to charge them and may increase the number of electric vehicles utilised within
Esperance.
The proposal is in line with the Shire’s Climate
Change Declaration commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to
the impact of climate changes, and our Cities Power Partnership pledges.
The initial proposal included a request to licence a portion
of the adjacent road reserve, however discussion with the Manager Planning and
Land Projects confirmed that entering into agreements over road reserves is not
desirable. Therefore it is recommended that the licence be limited to the areas
depicted within Lot 309 James Street only. This has been agreed to following
discussion with Horizon Power.
As the proposal is set to be a peppercorn lease due to the
benefits it will bring to the community it is proposed that the preparation fee
be waived for this licence.
As the licence is to be executed as a deed, consideration is
not required in order for the licence to be valid, subject to compliance with
s.9 of the Property Law Act. This advice has been provided by McLeods
Barristers and Solicitors (Attachment B). It is noted that the licence complies
with the requirements as specified by McLeods in their advice.

Recommendation in Brief
That Council adopt the Shire of Esperance Council Plan
2022-2032 and requests the Chief Executive Officer give local public notice of
the reviewed plan as per the requirements of the Local Government Act 1995.
Background
The Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework
incorporates a suite of strategic plans that ensure local governments plan
responsibly and sustainably for their community. These plans detail our
resourcing capabilities for operational services and major projects,
maintenance of community assets and predicted long term financial expectations.
The Strategic Community Plan is the strategy and
planning document that reflects the longer term (10+ year) community and local
government goals and aspirations. The local government is responsible for the
developing and reviewing the Plan, however its implementation is a shared
responsibility with other partners such as state agencies and the community.
The Corporate Business Plan is a key operational
document which identifies Council priorities and details current services,
future operations and major projects expected to be undertaken by the Shire
over the next four years.
Monthly and quarterly reports are prepared for Council
and included in the Ordinary Council Meeting Agendas, these reports contain
information directly related to the progress being achieved on the actions
outlined in the Plans.
Officer’s Comment
The Shire engaged strategic planning consultants

Plan. As part of this process it was determined that merging both the Strategic
Community Plan and Corporate Business Plan would be more efficient as the
elements required within each document are similar. The Department of Local
Government has confirmed this is acceptable, provided all elements required for
each document within the Local Government Act 1995 are included.
The Corporate Business Plan is reviewed on an annual
basis and the Strategic Community Plan is reviewed every four years, with minor
reviews every two years. As such, the new Council Plan will be reviewed
annually, with reviews of the Strategic Community Plan elements as per the
existing review schedule.
This review, which began following the Council
election in October 2021, has included a redesign of the document layout and
structure for simplicity, removal of ‘business as usual’ actions,
and incorporated information from the Shire’s various strategic documents
and the 2021 MARKYT Community Scorecard results.
Workshops with Council, our Organisational Management
Group, 12 staff and 58 members of the community were held in November 2021. The
ideas put forward during the initial workshops were consolidated, with further
Council and Organisational Management Group workshops held in January 2022 to
confirm the actions and discuss the draft document.
The financial information is yet to be confirmed,
pending endorsement of the reviewed Long Term Financial Plan at the Ordinary
Council Meeting. It is expected that the endorsed financial summary will be
inserted into the Council Plan on the Financial Summary page once confirmed.

Shire of Esperance
Executive Summary
For Council to review its delegations to the Chief Executive
Officer and Authorised Persons in accordance with the requirements of Section
5.46(2) of the Local Government Act 1995.
Recommendation in Brief
That Council endorse the Delegated Authority Register
2022/2023.
Background
Section 5.42 of the Local Government Act 1995 (the
Act) provides authority to a local government to delegate to the CEO any of its
powers or the discharge of any of its duties under the Act other than those
referred to in section 5.43.
Section 5.46(2) requires that at least once every financial
year, delegations are to be reviewed by the delegator. Council last reviewed
its delegations at the Ordinary Council Meeting 25 May 2021 (Resolution No.
O0521-147), and therefore a formal review by Council is now required.
A full copy of the proposed Delegated Authority Register
2022/2023 is attached for the information of Elected Members.
Officer’s Comment
Whilst section 5.46(2) of the Act requires delegations to be
formally reviewed annually, this does not preclude local governments from
amending or enabling new delegations on an ad-hoc basis as required throughout
the year. During the course of the 2021/2022 financial year the following
amendments were made to the register after the full review was completed.
March 2022: Amended Delegations
4.1: Planning and Development Act 2005 - insertion of
section x) of the ‘Function Performed’ section.
17.1: Fines, Penalties and Infringement Notices
Enforcement Act 1994 – amendment to positions within ‘Power
Delegated to’ section.
The purpose of this annual review is for Council to consider
its delegations to the Chief Executive Officer and Authorised Persons, and
determine their ongoing suitability. Delegations to the CEO are at the
discretion of Council. Council may elect to make changes to the delegations,
these will be recorded and alterations to the register made accordingly.
During this year’s review it was noted that some
resolution numbers have been referenced incorrectly throughout the document,
which have been amended, along with minor changes to wording, compliance links
and policy references.
With regard to Delegation 17.1, the Fines and Enforcement
Registry has confirmed that the CEO is provided authority to appoint
prosecuting officers directly under the legislation, and therefore the Council
to CEO delegation in this regard is no longer necessary. Confirmation of this
is included in the attachments, from the Department of Justice - Fines
Enforcement Registry. This will be adjusted to be a CEO to Authorised Person
delegation going forward.
Please refer to the attachments for a full summary of changes
for this year’s review.

Executive Summary
Approval is sought to proceed to tender for a number
of vacant lots of land, with any lots that don’t receive an offer through
the tender process to continue to be sold via Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
delegation for a further six-month period.
Recommendation in Brief
That Council:
1. Direct
the CEO to advertise all unsold lots within Flinders Stage 2 and Shark lake
Industrial Park along with Lots 861 and 862 Hockey Place and Lot 1035 Voile
Lane (excluding any lots that are under contract at the time the tender is
advertised) for sale by tender.
a. Confirm it believes that
the valuations previously received from Opteon Property Group for the Hockey
Place Lots in February 2017 and Heron Todd White Esperance for the Flinders
Stage 2 lots in February 2020, Voile Lane property in May 2021 and Shark Lake
Industrial Park properties in June 2021 continue to be a fair indication of the
value of these lots.
b. Relist all lots that
don’t receive an offer through the tender process.
c. Delegate authority to the
CEO to negotiate and accept offers on these listed properties.
Background
The current delegated
authority to the CEO to accept offers on identified vacant lots is due to
expire in November.
Delegated authority to the CEO can
only be provided for a maximum of 6 months following a tender or auction
process being undertaken. In the event that a delegation isn’t provided
all negotiations require Council Decisions for each stage of the negotiation.
This obviously has the potential to both make negotiations a lengthy and drawn
out process as well as resulting in it playing out in the public domain.
Neither of these outcomes is generally conducive to attracting purchasers.
There is currently a total of 5 lots
available for sale in Flinders, 27 lots in Shark Lake Industrial Park, two lots
in Hockey Place and lot 1035 Voile Lane.
Officer’s Comment
Submissions are rarely received for
tenders issued for vacant land (although 2 lots did sell within the last tender
– these were however new to the market and located within the smaller
towns of Salmon Gums and Grass Patch). This recommendation removes the need for
Council to reconsider these lots prior to them being re-listed with real estate
agents unless a submission is received. In the event that one or more tender
submissions is received, this recommendation will allow all lots not involved in
a submission to be listed with real estate agents while the tenders are being
considered, minimising the time the lots are off the market.
It has been recommended that Council
continue to rely upon the licensed valuations obtained from Opteon Property Group
in February 2017 Attachment H) for the Hockey Place lots and Heron Todd White
in February 2020 (Flinders – Attachment E), May 2021 (Voile Lane –
Attachment G) and June 2021 (Shark Lake Industrial Park – Attachment F),
[as allowed under s3.58 (4)(c)(ii)] as there has been little change in the
market in the intervening time.
While the valuation on the two Hockey Place properties is now
5 years old, it is proposed to delay updating it until the next stage of
Flinders is constructed (providing the lots haven’t sold) as there is no
longer valuation services available in Esperance.
Consultation
Thorp Realty and The Professionals currently act as
selling agents on these properties. Regular contact with representatives from
both agencies regarding the local market is maintained.
Financial Implications
Income from any sale of land is placed in the Land
Development reserve to ensure that income from the sale of land assets
doesn’t get utilised on an operational expense or depreciating asset as
per the intent of the Land Asset policy and procedures.
Asset Management Implications
Sale of these lots removes the Councils obligations to
maintain them.
Statutory Implications
The statutory implications associated with this item are contained within:
Local Government Act 1995
Section 3.58 – Disposing of Property
Policy Implications
Sale of non-strategic freehold land and placement of fund in
reserve for future land development or acquisition of strategic land is
consistent with the Councils Public Land Asset Strategy.

Executive Summary
For Council to consider adopting the reviewed Cultural
Protocols Policy.
Recommendation in Brief
That Council adopt the reviewed Cultural Protocols
policy inclusive of amendments, inclusions and deletions.
Background
The Cultural Protocols policy was adopted in November
2020, following endorsement by the Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group in
October 2020.
Esperance Tjaltjraak Native Title Aboriginal
Corporation (ETNTAC) recently advised that they are further defining how they
identify the local people, which should be referenced as the ‘Kepa Kurl
Wudjari people of the Nyungar Nation’ in future.
Officer’s Comment
An amendment to the Cultural Protocols policy to incorporate
this change was accepted at the Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group
meeting held 2 May 2022.
We have also recently received advice from ETNTAC regarding
their preference for Traditional Custodian to be used rather than Traditional
Owner. This has also been reflected in this review.
Please refer to Attachment A for details of the proposed
changes.

Executive Summary
For Council to consider the draft Schedule or Fees and
Charges for 2022/2023 and include them in the 2022/2023 draft budget.
Recommendation in Brief
That Council endorse the attached draft Schedule of Fees
and Charges to be included in the 2022/2023 budget adoption process.
Background
Similar to previous years a draft copy of the fees and
charges is presented to Council prior to draft budget for review and
consideration. Council considered this proposed Schedule of Fees and
Charges at a Council workshop on Tuesday 10th May.
The fees and charges, as presented will be the basis
used to determine the revenue estimates for fees and charges in the draft
2022/2023 budget. Fees and charges that are new or have been varied since
the 2021/2022 budget have a diamond indicator for easy identification to the
right of the fee.
Officer’s Comment
Some fees are set by regulatory bodies such as the
Builders Registration Board, or by other regulations and act. The Schedule
of Fees and Charges document contains a column named Statutory Fee
Indicator. This identifies if the fee is set by a regulatory body.
A Pricing Policy has been included at the front of the
Schedule of Fees and Charges. It outlines the Pricing Principles used as
a guide to determine the fees and charges each year.
Usually the fees increase in line with the Long Term
Financial Plan and current CPI. In light of this the fees and charges
proposed for 2022/2023 that have an increase, have increased generally by 5.7%.
Some fees and charges have remained the same as the previous year.
It is proposed that the fees will be adopted formally by
Council and come into force with the adoption of the budget. An
endorsement of the fees prior to the budget adoption will allow staff to inform
people or organisations who may be affected by any changes prior to their
implementation. Bay of Isles Leisure Centre and Sporting Complexes fees
will be effective from 1 September as this allows officers time to inform members/clubs,
change brochures and direct debit set-ups.
Consultation
Internal consultation with each department was undertaken in
relation to this item.
Financial Implications
Within the 2021/2022 budget, fees and charges constituted
$9.4m or 23% of the Shire’s operating revenue for the year.
Asset Management Implications
Nil
Statutory Implications
Section 6.16 of the Local Government Act 1995 provides

Peter & Sharon Stevens

Portion of Esperance
Airport, Lot 15 Coolgardie-Esperance Highway Gibson.
Executive Summary
For Council to consider amending the licence area of
the Airport Cropping Licence with Peter and Sharon Stevens to include a further
4.66ha2.
Recommendation in Brief
That Council amend the licence area of the Airport
Cropping Licence with Peter and Sharon Stevens to include a further 4.66ha2.
Background
Peter and Sharon Stevens have been cropping the area
surrounding the Airport runway for many years with the current Licence
commencing in January 2021, for a term of 5 years with a 5 year option.
Mr & Mrs Stevens have requested to include an
additional 4.66ha2 to their current licence area.
Officer’s Comment
The additional area being requested includes a disused
gravel pit and some areas adjacent to the runway. The additional areas are
depicted by the green coloured areas in Annexure B.
Asset management staff have advised that there are no
issues with the old gravel pit being rehabilitated into farmland as it is now
devoid of gravel.
The additional area offered to the Licensee has been
considered with regard to airport regulations and will not impact the minimum
distance required from the gable markers.
Allowing cropping to take place adjacent to the runway
reduces the risk of fire, wildlife issues, and assists with weed management. It
is therefore recommended to approve the proposal to extend the licence area.
It is expected that any works required to rehabilitate
the area for the purpose of cropping will be the responsibility of Mr and Mrs
Stevens.
Currently the annual rent paid under the licence is
$2,009.76, being $22.70 Inc GST per ha. The additional area of 4.66ha will
cause the annual rent to increase by $105.78 Inc GST, to be $2,115.54 Inc GST
for 2022. This will be subject to annual rent reviews as stated within the
current licence, of which the next is due in December 2022.
