CONDOLENCES                  

 

SUBJECT: Executions of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran

 

Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran were executed in Indonesia at 3 am AEST this morning.

 

Mr Chan and Mr Sukumaran were arrested in 2005 in Bali and were both subsequently sentenced to death. The pair languished in the Bali prisons system for ten years before the execution was carried out.

 

Mr Chan and Mr Sukumaran were due to have applications, filed on their behalf, heard in Indonesia’s Constitutional Court on 12 May 2015, but despite that process still on foot the executions were nevertheless carried out.

 

Two lives were taken unnecessarily by the Indonesian Government and by a barbaric method, despite evidence that the pair had reached a level of rehabilitation.

 

Condolences and well wishes should be extended to the families and loved ones of Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That Council:

 

1.    Express condolences and well wishes to the family and loved ones of Andrew Chan.

 

2.    Express condolences and well wishes to the family and loved ones of Myuran Sukumaran.

 

Motion:                                  Moved: Clr Hadchiti             Seconded: Clr Waller

CONDOLENCE

 

SUBJECT: The Hon. John Malcolm Fraser AC, CH, CGL

 

The Hon. John Malcolm Fraser AC, CH, CGL sadly passed away on 20 March 2015. Mr Fraser was the 22nd Prime Minister of Australia from 1975 to 1983.

 

Mr Fraser was born on 21 May 1930 in Toorak, Victoria and born into a family with a history of involvement in politics and the pastoral industry. Mr Fraser was educated at Oxford University where he majored in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and graduated in 1952.

 

On 10 December 1955, Mr Fraser won the seat of Wannon in a House of Representatives comprising of 57 seats at the time. On 11 November 1975, Mr Fraser was sworn in as caretaker Prime Minister and a month later after electoral success officially became the 22nd Prime Minister of Australia.

 

Prime Minister Fraser was known as an influence in Australian relations overseas both within the Commonwealth and with the countries of East and Southeast Asia. An adamant opponent of the apartheid regime, Prime Minister Fraser was a strong supporter for reform in South Africa.

 

The Fraser government revitalised Australia’s immigration program. The immigration program focused on resettlement and multiculturalism with the Institute of Multiculturalism Affairs being set up in 1978.

 

Mr Fraser resigned from parliament on 31 March 1983 and, within two years, had become a key figure in Australia’s international and diplomatic relations.

 

After politics Mr Fraser continued his service to the community. In 1987 Mr Fraser formed CARE Australia as part of the international CARE network on humanitarian aid organisations.

 

In 2000, Mr Fraser was awarded Australia’s Human Rights Medal for his contribution to the advancement of human rights in Australia and internationally. The Award was also in recognition of his Government’s legislative record in indigenous land rights, as well as his personal commitment for all of his public and private life to anti-racism and minority rights.

 

Mr Fraser is survived by his wife Tamara “Tamie” Fraser, AO and his four children Mark, Angela, Hugh and Phoebe.

Mayoral Minute

 

Subject: Moorebank Georges River Precinct Master Plan

 

Moorebank is a unique precinct within Liverpool. Set along the Georges River and Lake Moore, Moorebank possess prime waterfront potential. Its strategic location is enhanced by virtue of its closeness to Liverpool’s business hub and Liverpool Station, a key piece of public transport infrastructure, and also its connectivity to the South-Western Region and Greater Western Sydney through major road connections which include the M5 Motorway, Hume Highway, Newbridge Road, and Heathcote Road.

The redevelopment of the Moorebank Georges River precinct provides an opportunity to transform an old and degraded industrial area into a revitalised mixed use urban waterfront precinct in close proximity to Liverpool CBD. Council should investigate the Moorebank Georges River precinct for its urban renewal potential. The redevelopment of this precinct will benefit from a high level of public transport accessibility provided by its proximity to Liverpool Station, and with upgrades to local bus routes, potential realignment of local roads and improvements for active transport options, including pedestrian and cycle routes.

This area also provides a unique opportunity for Liverpool to help meet Sydney’s future housing needs and make a major contribution to providing for the additional 1.6 million people who will live in Sydney over the next 20 years.  The area has the potential to be developed as a premium mixed use riverside lifestyle precinct with quality housing and local employment opportunities.  Redevelopment will deliver substantial environmental, recreational and community benefits to support the achievement of Liverpool’s potential as the third regional city.

A number of major landowners in this area are currently progressing individual planning proposals and have been in discussion with Council officers about the technical requirements associated with their proposals.  It is clear that this important strategic area requires a comprehensive and integrated approach to land use planning and infrastructure demands.

It is proposed the investigation of the Moorebank Georges River Precinct will examine:

·         The precinct’s potential to support higher levels of density, incorporating a mix of housing and employment options,

·         The unique characteristics of the precinct, including heritage, waterfront access, public open spaces, and walkability to support redevelopment,

·         The urban design principles to support building typologies, public domain improvements, and built form outcomes to support sustainable precinct redevelopment,

·         The level of connectivity of the precinct to the regional road network, and the potential infrastructure upgrades required to support precinct redevelopment,

·         The level connectivity of the precinct to the regional public transport network, including bus and rail, and the potential infrastructure upgrades required to support precinct redevelopment, and

·         Potential key sites which are feasible to facilitate for redevelopment of the precinct in line with the aforementioned.

It is appropriate that landowners contribute to the cost of this investigation.

Attached to this Mayoral Minute are a map of the proposed precinct area and an aerial image.

RECOMMENDATION:

3.    Explore options with current landowners and associated developers to fund the costs of this investigation.

 

4.    The study also include land on the west side of the Georges River.

Subject: 'Luke Stono's Never Give Up' Charity Bike Ride

 

On 22 April 2015, Luke Stono departed Nowra Private Hospital on an organised fund raising bike ride to Liverpool Hospital, known as the ‘Luke Stono’s Never Give Up Charity Bike Ride’.  Mr Stono is expected to arrive at Liverpool Hospital on 1 May 2015. Mr Stono is riding a special recumbent push bike on the 180km ride. Mr Stono has committed to donating the money raised to the Liverpool Hospital Brain Gym.

 

On 20 June 2012, Mr Stono suffered a serious brain injury whilst training at a motocross compound in Lockhart NSW in a tragic motorbike accident. He was rushed to Wagga Base Hospital and later airlifted to Canberra Hospital where he was assessed and found to have suffered a severe brain injury. He was in a coma. Mr Stono’s parents were informed that he had only a 20 per cent chance of surviving and only a 4 per cent chance of minimal recovery if he did survive. Mr Stono eventually showed signs of waking from his coma and was eventually transferred to the Liverpool Hospital Brain Injury Unit and spent 9 months there in rehabilitation.

 

Mr Stono displayed a “never give up” attitude throughout his recovery to date and has moved from only a 20 per cent chance of survival to a man who put plans in place to ride his bike for 180km. Mr Stono attributes a great deal of his recovery to the staff in the Liverpool Brain Injury Unit for their care and has stated that he wouldn’t be where he is today without their help, however he has indicated that the Unit is need of equipment upgrades. Mr Stono hopes that the money raised throughout his bicycle journey will help towards those much needed upgrades.

 

Mr Stono is expected to arrive at Liverpool Hospital on Friday 1 May 2015 at 11am.  I will be in attendance to greet Mr Stono.  I propose that Council donate $5,000 to Mr Stono’s cause which in turn will benefit the Liverpool Hospital Brain Gym.

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

That Council:

 

1.    Extend well wishes to Luke Stono on the completion of his bike ride from Nowra to Liverpool Hospital.

 

2.    Commend Luke Stono for his hard work efforts to raise money for the Liverpool Hospital Brain Gym.

 

3.    Donate $5,000 to the Luke Stono’s Never Give Up Charity Bike Ride.

Subject: Opening of Ingham House on 27 April 2015

 

On 27 April 2015, I was honoured to officially open Ingham House at 18 Pioneer Dr, Carnes Hill, which was the result of a four year project between Anowah Community Living Inc, Ingham Australia and Fowler Homes.

 

Ingham House will be operated by Anowah Community Living Inc and provides services for people with disabilities. Current residents of Anowah are aged from their mid 20’s to over 60 years of age. All of the residents have an intellectual disability and some with physical or sensory impairments. The aim of the services is to provide an increase in each person’s independence and quality of life.

 

The Ingham family donated the land located on 18 Pioneer Dr and Fowler Homes constructed the premises for use by Anowah in order to provide the important services to those members of our community who are in need.

 

Moving forward, Anowah now needs to raise necessary funds to provide a high standard of training, accommodation and service options for their residents, which includes the provision of housing, furniture, equipment, aids and training programs. As part of the fundraising efforts, Anowah will be hosting its Annual Fund Raising dinner on Friday 22 May 2015.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That Council:

 

1.    Provide a donation of $2,500 towards Anowah Community Living Inc’s Annual Fundraising dinner on Friday 22 May 2015.

 

2.    Congratulate Ingham Australia, Fowler Homes and Anowah Community Living Inc on the completion of the four year project towards the completion of Ingham House.

 

3.    Recognise the important work that Anowah Community Living Inc undertakes to help disadvantaged members of the community.

Subject: Trip to Gallipoli ("The Journey to the Quilt") - June Young OAM, JP and Ken              Young OAM

 

Local residents within the Liverpool Municipality, Mrs June Young OAM, JP and Mr Ken Young OAM, left Australia last week to embark on a journey to Gallipoli in remembrance of those soldiers who lost their lives during World War One.

 

Their official farewell happened in Albany, Western Australia, where they set sail to the site of the sinking of HMAS Sydney for a Memorial Service before retracing the journey through Cocos Island, Colombo, Suez Canal, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Gallipoli, Crete and Italy.

 

Throughout their journey, Mr and Mrs Young will be carrying a handmade quilt, made by members of the RSL Women’s Auxiliaries from all over NSW in remembrance of those who died in the First World War. Each square contained on the quilt has its own personal story. The quilt is one of seven quilts made by women of the Auxiliaries and the first was raffled last year and made $37,200 for RSL Defence Care (the welfare and benevolent arm of the RSL movement). Upon Mr and Mrs Young’s return to Australia, their quilt will hang at the Cenotaph in Hyde Park, Sydney.

 

Mrs Young will be writing a daily journal of the Quilt’s journey, conducting interviews with veterans on the ship, entertainers and historians. Mrs Young will also be photographing the quilt at many historical sites along the journey.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That Council:

 

1.    Wishes Mr and Mrs Young a continued safe passage on their “Journey to the Quilt” journey as they remember those who served in Gallipoli, World War Two, Borneo, Vietnam and on peacekeeping missions.

 

2.    Commend the Women’s Auxiliaries for their great work in the Quilt project which has raised significant money for the RSL Defence Care. 

 

3.    Meet with Mr and Mrs Young upon their return to discuss an opportunity to display the photos of their journey in public for interested members of the community to view.

Subject: Local Government Awards

 

On 23 April 2015, Liverpool Council won two award categories at the Local Government Awards evening held at the Westin Hotel in Martin Place Sydney.

 

In the first category, Liverpool won the ‘Excellence in Environmental Leadership and Sustainability’ category for the Council’s work in establishing a leading edge Community Recycling Centre. The Community Recycling Centre development programme was led by Gino Belsito, Director of City Presentation and his team.

 

In the second category, Liverpool won the ‘Excellence in Local and Economic Contribution’ category for the Council’s work on the ‘Building our New City’ initiative. The ‘Building our New City’ initiative will trigger business investment opportunities and jobs growth for Liverpool.  This initiative is being led by Michael Cullen, Director of Economic and Engagement and his team.

 

The success of winning the two award categories are a result of dedication and hard work and a great result for Liverpool to have some of the Council’s innovative and leading projects recognised by the Local Government sector.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That Council:

 

1.    Congratulate Gino Belsito, Director of City Presentation and his team for winning the ‘Excellence in Environmental Leadership’ award category at the Local Government Awards evening in recognition of the Community Recycling Centre.

Subject: Relay for Life: Cancer Council

 

The Cancer Council of Australia facilitates the Relay for Life event organised by local volunteer committees on behalf of the Cancer Council.

 

Relay for Life gives local communities a chance to recognise and celebrate those who have overcome cancer or are undergoing treatment, as well as carers of people who suffer from cancer.

 

Relay for Life first started in Australia back in 1999 when the Victorian community of Murrumbeena raised over $75,000 for the Cancer Council. Sixteen years later, Relays are now held in every State and Territory, with more than 134,000 participants raising over $24 million each year. Every dollar raised from participation in Relay for Life goes towards the Cancer Council’s research, prevention and support programs.

 

The Liverpool community will be participating in the Relay for Life event commencing on Saturday 23 May 2015 concluding on Sunday 24 May 2015. In the planned Liverpool relay to date, 16 teams comprising of 74 participants have registered with a total of $6,217.39 raised so far with a goal of raising $55,000 in total.

 

Teams participate in a relay-style walk or run, with a challenge of staying on track overnight. Each event is unique and participants can stay for the entirety of the event which includes camping overnight and enjoy the fun activities.

 

I plan on registering as a participant in the Liverpool Relay for Life event and would implore my fellow Councillors, Council employees and their families and members of the Liverpool community to also register and participate for such an important and worthy cause.

 

I also move that the Council donate $2,500 towards the Liverpool Relay for Life event.

 

RECOMMENDATION:

 

That Council:

 

1.    Call for all Councillors, Council employees and their family and members of the Liverpool Community register and participate in the local Liverpool Relay for Life event held on 23 & 24 May 2015

 

2.    Donate $2,500 to the local Liverpool Relay for Life event.

c)    other suburbs

 

2.    What plans are in place to address the addition infrastructure needs of residents in suburbs with the increasing instances of higher density developments taking the place of single dwellings. Suburbs are already seeing increased competition for on street parking. How will additional traffic and parking be accommodated? Has Council investigated and made projections of requirements for the future?

RECOMMENDATION

 

That Council:

 

1.    Declines to accept any of the tenders submitted for WT2421 - Supply, Delivery and Installation of Bus Shelters.

 

2.    In accordance with Section 178(3) (e) of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005, enters into negotiations with Adshel under the terms of the existing contract for the supply of additional bus shelters to Liverpool.

 

3.    In accordance with Section 178(4) of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005, notes that the reasons for entering into negotiations and not calling fresh tenders are:

a)    The major  firms specialising in street furniture advertising are of the view that there is a lack of alignment between proposed bus shelter sites and their respective business models and hence, it is considered that inviting fresh tenders for the same proposal is unlikely to result in a favourable outcome;

b)    No significant benefit will be achieved by inviting fresh tenders in view of the time and cost involved in such a process; and

c)    The current contract between Adshel and Council relating to the operation and management of their bus shelters provides for the supply of additional advertising and non-advertising bus shelters to Liverpool. Following conclusion of the tender process, Adshel has expressed an interest in exploring options with Council to supply additional bus shelters in return for advertising rights on other items of street furniture.

 

4.    Note that Council authorises the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate with Adshel and subject to a satisfactory outcome of the negotiation process, amend the current contract to incorporate new supply arrangements.

 

5.    Keeps confidential the details supplied in this report containing information on the submissions received, pursuant to the provisions of Section 10A(2)(d)(i) of the Local Government Act 1993 as it contains commercial information of a confidential nature that would, if disclosed, prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied it.
