CONDOLENCES
Mr Dave Pack (as read by Clr Shelton)
“Regretfully, I advise the Council of the passing of Dave Pack on 10 October 2016 and the subsequent celebration of his life on 24 October 2016 at North Chapel Forrest Lawn Memorial Park, Leppington.
I knew Dave Pack through his association with the Liverpool and District Historical Society which organisation was in the words of their President devastated to learn of his passing. The Society itself in its current form goes back to 1959 and he was a long serving member, particularly with respect to its trading table. The President has also described him as a ‘dedicated, hard-working and loyal servant’, and on Australia Day of this year he received a Member of Liverpool Award. As much could not have been more appropriate given that his spouse, Judy Pack, had in turn received Liverpool’s Senior Citizen of the Year Award on Australia Day of 2015. As most people here know she passed on a few days later, and I recall reading a motion of condolence for her before Council at that time.
As with most of us Dave and Judy were a migrant family having migrated to Australia from England in 1990. They joined the Historical Society in 1991 and dedicated the rest of their lives not just to the support of the Society but also to various other community groups. He was at times officially Vice-President, Librarian and operator of the trading table and less officially, Mr Fix-it, but his role was much larger than the positions he formally held.
He has played no less than the role of Governor Lachlan Macquarie in the 1990s and the 2000s during Council civic functions where he regularly dressed in costume for the occasion. He also maintained an interest in amateur radio.
He was 82 when he passed on after a period of declining health, and will be sorely missed.
I humbly extend my condolences to his family members and all who knew him.
May he rest in peace.
I also acknowledge the assistance of the current President of the Liverpool and District Historical Society, Mr G. Op Den Brouw in providing background material for these comments.”

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMMENTS
WSROC has established a working which is progressing a range of activities to tackle urban heat in the region. These activities are described below.
Urban Heat Working Party An urban heat working party has been established, currently consisting of Parramatta, Blacktown, Penrith and Canterbury-Bankstown. The four member Councils have implemented a range of actions in their LGAs as follows: · Parramatta has a Cool Parramatta program: http://coolparramatta.com.au/about_us and has also done thermal mapping of the LGA. · Penrith has a Cooling the cities program. · Blacktown has implemented a cool streets program. · Canterbury-Bankstown has done thermal heat mapping of their LGA.
WSROC has advised they would welcome Liverpool joining the working party. Microclimate and Urban Heat Island Mitigation Decision-Support Tool WSROC has partnered with UNSW on a research project to develop a Microclimate and Urban Heat Island (UHI) Mitigation Decision-Support Tool. The project aims to develop an Urban heat mitigation decision support tool to inform development assessment and planning practices for local government and other stakeholders. It will collate and integrate a whole range of scientific models and mitigation techniques to ultimately develop an UHI mitigation performance index. Other project partners include Swinburne University of Technology, City of Sydney, Greater Sydney Commission, NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH), UrbanGrowth NSW, BlueScope Steel, AECOM, Stocklands and Parramatta Council.
A copy of the project outline is attached to this report for the information of Councillors.
Urban greening project – Cooling the Streets-Western Sydney WSROC has applied for funding for an urban greening project (Cooling the Streets – Western Sydney) under the Building Resilience to Climate Change funding. This project is a partnership between WSROC, Blacktown, City of Parramatta, Canterbury-Bankstown and the three Local Health Districts (West, South-West and Nepean Blue mountains). Cool Streets aims to assist councils with choosing the right green cover to mitigate urban heat and has a strong focus on council staff and community education.
The proposed project aims to: · Develop a plan for implementing effective street tree canopy cover across Western Sydney · Measure economic and social benefits · Build community and stakeholder participation and support
The project is to be implemented in several stages: · Research modelling which quantifies the climate change mitigation and adaptation benefits from retrofitting suburban streets (eight pilot sites). · Education and skills-building of key stakeholders (council staff). · Community engagement and education. · Implementation of street tree planting in eight Western Sydney streets. The total estimated project cost is $129,720 (excl GST)
The maximum funding available through the Building Resilience to Climate change funding is $80,000. Therefore, should the application be successful, WSROC proposes that the balance of $49,720 should be divided evenly among the participating councils. If Liverpool wishes to participate, the cost would be $12,430 per council based on four councils participating. If the funding application is unsuccessful, the cost would be $32,430 per council if four councils participate.
There is currently no funding identified in the 2016/17 budget and funds would need to be identified if Council wishes to participate.
Conclusion It is recommended Council write to WSROC to confirm our request to join the working party. If Council also wishes to participate in the Cooling the Streets – Western Sydney project, funds would need to be identified in the current budget. |

a. The Moorebank Intermodal project is a complex and technical proposal, being assessed under the transitional provisions of Part 3A of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, and requires specialist planning advice, not otherwise available to Council, to assess and respond to;
b. Upon the initial engagement of the chosen planning consultants, Council staff at the time solicited a number of quotes, and found the chosen consultant to present the best value proposition;
c. The chosen consultant, Cardno Pty Ltd, has now performed a significant volume of detailed work on the project, and in the process, has established an in-depth understanding of the issues to the satisfaction of Council staff; and
d. Changing the consultant at this stage would potentially result in additional cost (for a new consultant reviewing the brief), as well as potential delay, and may jeopardise Council’s ability to provide quality input into the process as a result.
