CONDOLENCES - Victims of the Beirut Explosion (to be read by Mayor Waller)

ITEM NO: MAYOR 01

FILE NO: 218625.2020

Victims of the Beirut Explosion (to be read by Mayor Waller)

On 4 August 2020, a massive explosion tore through the port area in Beirut, in Lebanon, killing at least 163 people, including one Australian, and injuring more than 5000. The death toll is expected to rise as emergency workers continue to search through devastated areas of the city. About 300,000 people have been left homeless.

The force of the explosion destroyed the port and resulted in the near total destruction of downtown Beirut within at least a 5km radius. The explosion was felt in parts of Europe and heard in Cyprus, an estimated 240km away.

Liverpool is home to a large number of people of Lebanese ancestry, and Council values the contribution Lebanese Australians have made to the rich fabric of Liverpool. Many people in the Liverpool Local Government Area remain deeply distressed about the explosion and its impact on Beirut. Others continue to have concerns for the safety and welfare of their family members and friends who remain in Lebanon.

On behalf of Liverpool City Council, I express my deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims, and my thoughts and prayers are with the people who were injured in the explosion. To the people of Lebanon and all Lebanese Australians, I offer my solidarity and support on behalf of all Councillors during this devastating time.

Motion: Moved: Mayor Waller

That Council:

1. Write to the Lebanese Consulate expressing our condolences and solidarity; and

2. Donate $20,000 to AusRelief to support the victims of the Beirut explosion.

On being put to the meeting the motion was declared CARRIED.

Councillors voted unanimously for this motion.

Mayoral Minute

ITEM NO: MAYOR 02

FILE NO: 218668.2020

SUBJECT: Local Government Representation on the National Cabinet

The Prime Minister, Premiers and Chief Ministers met in Sydney on 13 March this year and agreed to establish a National Cabinet to coordinate Australia’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The National Cabinet has proven effective in taking decisions in Australia’s interest and the Prime Minister announced on 29 May that it would continue beyond the pandemic. Local Government is not represented in the National Cabinet. The Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) has been given a seat on the National Federation Reform Council, but this body will only meet once a year.

All three tiers of government should be represented on the National Cabinet. Councils have an important role to play because we are the level of government closest to the people. We are also responsible for the delivery of a range of vital community services, programs and infrastructure.

Over coming months, the National Cabinet is likely to face enormous challenges unlike those seen by governments in recent times. This will require the three levels of government to collaborate and support each other to encourage economic growth, implement reforms, create jobs, assist businesses and residents and rebuild consumer confidence.

A seat at the table will ensure Local Government can contribute to the discussion, highlight the impact of federal policies and help shape a stronger future for everyone in Australia. Getting it right on the ground is local government’s area of expertise.

The ALGA Board and LGNSW are advocating for the inclusion of councils in the National Cabinet, a position I am sure is supported by all Councils.

Motion: Moved: Mayor Waller Seconded: Clr Rhodes

That Council:

1. Writes to NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and local Federal and State Members of Parliament to highlight the critical necessity for Local Government representation on the National Cabinet and seeks their assistance in requesting that the First Ministers review the decision to exclude Local Government;

2. Seeks a meeting with local Federal and State MPs to discuss in more detail the importance of having Local Government representation on the National Cabinet and the value of partnerships with Councils in achieving the objectives of the National Cabinet and the national reform agenda; and

3. Notes that the Australian Local Government Association, LGNSW and other state/territory local government associations will continue to advocate for Local Government representation on the National Cabinet and for local government’s interests in all relevant forums.

On being put to the meeting the motion was declared CARRIED.

Questions with Notice

ITEM NO: QWN 01

FILE NO: 190647.2020

SUBJECT: Question with Notice - Clr Hagarty - Appeal Powers Against Land and Environment Court Decisions

Please address the following:

1. What appeal powers do Council (or the public) have when an applicant’s appeal of previously refused DA is upheld by the Land and Environment Court?

Response

What is the applicant’s right of appeal against refusal of a DA?

Where the Council is the consent authority for development and decides to refuse consent to a development application (‘DA’), the applicant has the right to appeal to the Land and Environment Court (‘Court’) within 6 months of the decision.

When is the Council a party to an appeal against refusal of a DA?

The Council is the consent authority responsible for determining the DA, and hence a party to the appeal to the Court, where the decision to refuse consent was made by the local planning panel/regional planning panel on the Council’s behalf or by an officer of the Council under delegated authority from the Council.

Can members of the public be a party to an appeal against refusal of a DA?

Only the applicant and the Council are parties to the appeal proceedings, unless the Court orders that another person is joined as a party, which is uncommon.

Members of the public have no right of appeal to the Court against a decision by the Council to refuse consent to a DA.

Can an objector appeal against refusal of a DA that is designated development?

No. An objector can only appeal a decision of a consent authority to grant consent to designated development.

If the Court grants consent to designated development, ordinarily, an objector cannot appeal the Court’s decision.

In very limited circumstances, an objector can bring judicial review proceedings to review a decision by the Court to grant consent to a designated development.

On what basis is an appeal against refusal of a DA dealt with by the Land and Environment Court?

An appeal against the refusal of a DA is heard and determined by the Court on the planning merits of the DA.

The appeal does not involve a review of the Council’s decision but instead involves the making of an entirely new decision.

The appeal is ordinarily heard and determined by a commissioner of the Court rather than a judge.

Who can appeal the Land and Environment Court’s determination of an appeal against the refusal of a DA & on what basis?

Ordinarily, only parties to the appeal have a right to appeal the Court’s decision in an appeal against refusal of a DA. Therefore, ordinarily only the applicant and the Council will have appeal rights against the Court’s decision.

Where an appeal against the refusal of a DA is heard and determined by a commissioner of the Court, the Council has a right to appeal to a judge of the Court against an order or decision made by the Commissioner but only on a question of law. The appeal must be brought within 28 days. The Council may bring a further appeal to the Supreme Court against the decision of the judge of the Court, but only on a question of law, and the leave of the Supreme Court is required for it to do so. This further appeal process must be commenced within 28 days.

Where the Council is a party to an appeal against the refusal of a DA that is heard and determined by a judge of the Court, the Council may appeal to the Supreme Court against the decision of the judge on a question of law. The appeal process must be commenced within 28 days.

What is a question of law?

In general terms, a question of law is one that must be answered by applying relevant legal principles to interpretation of the law rather than by applying facts and evidence. Thus, in an appeal involving a question of law, the appellate body does not review the merits of the decision the subject of the appeal but rather the legal basis on which the decision was made.

ITEM NO: QWN 02

FILE NO: 190649.2020

SUBJECT: Question with Notice - Clr Kaliyanda - Processing of Organic Waste in the Liverpool LGA

Please address the following:

1. How much of waste collected in the Liverpool LGA is organic waste? How much of this is organic food waste?

2. How much organic waste in the Liverpool LGA actually ends up in landfill?

3. Do we currently have any policies or strategies in place to divert organic food waste from landfill?

4. Are there collective procurement contracts or similar arrangements for organic waste in NSW?

Response

1. How much of waste collected in the Liverpool LGA is organic waste? How much of this is organic food waste?

In 2019/2020 there was 16,736.69 tonnes of organic garden waste collected through the Council’s kerbside garden waste bin. From a recent audit, 48% of the red bin waste is food material. This means that in 2019/2020 there was 24,860.75 tonnes of food waste in the red general waste bin.

2. How much organic waste in the Liverpool LGA actually ends up in landfill?

All waste in the red general waste bin currently goes to landfill. The waste in the organics garden bin is processed into soil products.

3. Do we currently have any policies or strategies in place to divert organic food waste from landfill?

The NSW government is currently working on a 20 year Waste Strategy which is due to be released in late 2021. Council has undertaken research into a local strategy and is waiting for the release of the state strategy to finalise our strategy. This will give council the ability to align our strategy with the state government targets and goals and respond accordingly.

The Domestic Waste Collections tender which is currently being evaluated will have provisions for future changes in bin configurations and processing locations. This will give council the opportunity to adapt to any future opportunities such as Food Organics Garden Organics (FOGO), energy from waste, or other technologies.

Council has also placed an application for a grant under the Local Government Transition Fund. This grant will commission a feasibility and transition strategy around FOGO. Council will also be supporting the separate WSROC submission around food waste disposal option in multi-unit dwellings.

Council does encourage residents to divert food waste from there general waste bins by offering residents a $50 rebate off a compost bin or worm farm reciprocal. Council also offers community workshops on worm farming and composting. Our waste primary school and preschool program address worm farming and composting.

4. Are there collective procurement contracts or similar arrangements for organic waste in NSW?

Liverpool is working with Camden, Campbelltown, Liverpool, Wollondilly and Wingecarribee to collectively tender and secure the provision of waste processing and disposal services for:

• General Waste

• Recycling

• Organics

• Bulky Waste

The project aims to ensure Councils have collective bargaining power to attract market investment in technology and infrastructure to service the South West Sydney region. Through this partnership, the Councils will also gain access to a dedicated facility, secure disposal and price certainty for the life of the contract.

ITEM NO: QWN 04

FILE NO: 218196.2020

SUBJECT: Question with Notice - Clr Rhodes - Georges River Bank Stabilisation

Please address the following:

Can Council provide a report on the recent collapse of the Eastern bank of the Georges River opposite the Council dog park and bordering the Moorebank Intermodal.

1. What is being done to stabilise the banks of the Georges River at this particular site and others along the Georges River?

2. Who is responsible to stabilise the bank of the Georges River?

3. When will stabilisation of the Georges River bank be done?

4. Explain the Georges Riverkeeper’s involvement vs conditions imposed on development applications to stabilise the Georges River banks?

Recent collapse of the Georges River bank alongside the Moorebank Intermodal site and opposite the Council dog park was disturbing to say the least.

A large chunk of the bank that borders the Moorebank Intermodal Development site recently fell into the River.

When the ground is left bare by human activities including clearing, building (and related activities) and vehicle use such as 4WD's and trail bikes the soil is easily washed away when it rains. Examples of this can be seen between Sandy Point and Alfords Point as sediment from the ridges washes into Mill Creek and then into the Georges River. This erosion removes the fertile topsoil and the soil that is washed into waterways can contain plant nutrients, minerals, organic matter and seeds. It can also contain pesticides and toxic heavy metals.

When soil, sand, dust, cement, paint and building debris reach the waterways, they can:

· increase the risk of flooding;

· block drains;

· spread weeds to bushland;

· result in algal blooms;

· cause health problems for swimmers; and

· smother and suffocate water plants and animals and impact on their ability to reproduce.

The size of the erosion that fell into the Georges River in the one event is of particular concern and needs to be addressed.

A response to these questions will be provided in the September 2020 Council meeting business papers.

Notices of Motion

ITEM NO: NOM 01

FILE NO: 216306.2020

SUBJECT: Parking on Verges and Nature Strips

Background

Parking on verges and nature strips can attract fines. Alternatively, parking in some of Liverpool's smaller streets blocks the access of emergency services vehicles and garbage trucks

Previously, Council has passed initiatives to deliver more on street parking and allow second driveways. In April, Council sought to bring some common sense to the issue of parking on verges and nature strips. However, there still appears to be some confusion, with a number of residents still being fined for parking on a verge or nature strip.

It is evident that a clear and easily understood policy needs to be developed for the benefit of residents, compliance staff and Councillors.

NOTICE OF MOTION (Submitted by Clr Hagarty)

That Council:

1. Update relevant policies and procedures to give clear and unambiguous guidance setting out when a fine will or won't be issued for parking on a verge or nature strip, including pictures and diagrams;

2. Bring back any updated policies to the October meeting of Council; and

3. Run an awareness campaign on this clear and unambiguous guidance through the District Forums, social and traditional media and other suitable forums.

COUNCIL DECISION

Motion: Moved: Clr Hagarty Seconded: Clr Karnib

ITEM NO: NOM 03

FILE NO: 219498.2020

SUBJECT: Use of Data to Improve Energy Efficiency and Reduce Pollution

Background

The ClimateClever app enables users to measure and monitor electricity, gas and water consumption. Developed by Curtin University, it provides users with an action plan on how to be more efficient with their energy use, reducing pollution and utility bills.

ClimateClever works in three simple steps:

Measure – Calculate and track consumption, pollution and costs.
Audit – Understand how the home or school consumes resources, and how this contributes to pollution and utility costs.
Action – Create a custom action plan to systematically reduce resource consumption, pollution and utility bills.

A growing number of local governments across Australia have partnered with ClimateClever to offer residents, local schools and businesses a way to measure their energy consumption, reduce pollution and save on their utility bills.

Some of the benefits for local governments include:

· Enhance tree planting across the LGA – to date, more than 85,000 trees have been planted across Perth and regional WA under this scheme.

· Adopt an easy, concrete and measurable way to meet strategic goals – apps simplify the collection and analysis of utility and usage data.

· Build genuine community engagement around sustainability – the ClimateClever program provides a new and innovative way to up-skill a large and engaged audience of students, teachers and school staff; households; and, soon, local businesses.

· Fostering and developing leadership in sustainability – helping to engage, educate and up-skill students around these important issues.

· Help our local schools, households and businesses achieve savings on their utility bills

The ClimateClever initiative already has a number of local government partners, including the Cities of Albany, Canning, Stirling and Mosman Council.

With Liverpool regularly having the worst air quality in the Sydney basin, we should welcome initiatives that encourages schools, households and businesses to plant more trees and reduce pollution.

A standard partnership costs $850 + GST.

NOTICE OF MOTION (Submitted by Clr Kaliyanda)

That Council:

1. Trial a standard partnership with the ClimateClever initiative for 12 months;

2. Run a public awareness campaign to encourage take up of the app among local schools, businesses and households; and

3. Report back in 12 months on the efficacy of the app, in particular, its effectiveness in meeting the goals of Council’s 10 year Community Strategic Plan.
