Purpose of Report To seek Council support to advertise the proposed Council Policy on Alfresco Dining and Alfresco Dining Guidelines.

Background The City’s existing Outdoor Eating Area Policy has been operational for over a decade. It provides a mechanism under the City of Rockingham Public Places and Local Government Property Local Law 2018 to licence public land located adjacent to registered food premises for dining. The existing Outdoor Eating Area Policy has been reviewed. It is proposed to replace it with a new Council Policy on Alfresco Dining and Alfresco Dining Guidelines.


Details The majority of the existing Outdoor Eating Area requirements have been carried over from the existing Policy to the proposed Guidelines, however there are some additions to reflect current thinking, which include: Providing flexibility for pedestrian access, depending on the street orientation and

pedestrian flow. The feedback from many proprietors has been that their customers prefer dining in the shade provided by the verandahs/eaves, and that customers often try to move tables so they can sit under the shade. The proprietors have provided feedback to the City Officers that they would rather have dining immediately adjacent to their premises. The proposed Guidelines will allow this to be considered in some circumstances, where this can be safely achieved without impacting on pedestrian movement.

The inclusion of Parklets, being temporary structures within car parking bays that offer alfresco dining (i.e. Ostro and Rustico - Rockingham Beach Road), which receive both a Development Approval under Planning Policy 3.3.24 and an Alfresco Dining Licence.

The change of name from Outdoor Eating Areas to Alfresco Dining. The revision of some existing requirements such as cleaning, to bring them in line with

current practices and City requirements. The inclusion of the Foreshore Boardwalk area as a special precinct.

Implications to Consider a. Consultation with the Community

The proposed Policy on Alfresco Dining and supporting Alfresco Dining Guidelines will be advertised following the Council’s decision. Following the advertising period, the Policy will return to Council for consideration, along with any comments received. Whilst the Alfresco Dining Guidelines do not require advertising, these will be provided during the advertising process to provide context to the community on the proposed changes.

b. Consultation with Government Agencies Nil c. Strategic Community Plan

This item addresses the Community’s Vision for the future and specifically the following Aspiration and Strategic Objective contained in the Strategic Community Plan 2019-2029: Aspiration 1: Actively Pursue Tourism and Economic Development

Strategic Objective: Business Development - Support business development initiatives throughout the City

d. Policy If the proposed Policy on Alfresco Dining is adopted, the existing Health Policy No.6.6 - Outdoor Eating Facilities on Public Places will be rescinded.

e. Financial Nil

f. Legal and Statutory Clause 3.1(1)(f)(ii) under the City of Rockingham Public Places and Local Government Property Local Law 2018 states: “A person must not without a permit carry on trading on local government property or public place unless the trading is conducted by a person who has a permit or permit to carry on trading on local government property under any written law.”

Any dining on public land therefore requires a permit prior to commencing. The Alfresco Dining Policy provides the mechanism to grant the permit, and the Alfresco Dining Guidelines provide the framework to ensure all dining is undertaken safely and consistently throughout the City.

Comments Alfresco dining adds vibrancy to entertainment precincts through street activation. The City’s existing Outdoor Eating Area Policy has been operational for over a decade, and has been effective in allowing food premises to extend their dining area into public land. The existing Outdoor Eating Area Policy and Guidelines are workable and generally well received, however, the review of the existing Guidelines has provided an opportunity to include some flexibility for pedestrian access and alfresco dining locations, as well as minor changes to align the Guidelines with current practices.

Voting Requirements Simple Majority

Officer Recommendation That Council APPROVES the advertising of the proposed Council Policy on Alfresco Dining (draft) for public comment, as follows:

Council Policy - Alfresco Dining Council Policy Objective Under the provisions of the City of Rockingham Public Places and Local Government Property Local Law, the City may permit activities such as trading on local government property. The purpose of this Policy is to set out the circumstances under which the City will issue permits for alfresco dining on local government property. The Policy aims to: • Ensure alfresco dining areas do not interfere with the safe and reasonable movement of

pedestrians of all abilities, vehicular traffic, and other street activities; • Encourage high quality alfresco dining areas to enhance the safety, vitality, amenity and

character of the City of Rockingham; and • Ensure that adjoining premises are not adversely affected by an alfresco dining area. Council Policy Scope This Policy applies to all alfresco dining on local government property under City of Rockingham control that is associated with a registered food business. This Policy does not apply to alfresco dining: • located on private property, where development approval may be required, or • as part of an approved outdoor event, or • that is not associated with a registered food business. Council Policy Statement To encourage high quality alfresco dining areas that do not interfere with the safe and reasonable movement of pedestrians and vehicular traffic or other street activities, the following will be considered in all applications: • consistency with Alfresco Dining Guidelines • location of the proposed alfresco dining area • consistent and predictable clear path of pedestrian travel maintained on footpath • compatibility with pedestrian, vehicle and emergency access

Planning and Engineering Services Committee Agenda Monday 19 October 2020 PD-047/20 PAGE 9 • compatibility with existing uses • safety issues such as traffic speeds, traffic levels and sight lines • location and number of sanitary facilities • amenity impact potential from noise, light or other sources • any previous non-compliances or issues by the applicant / food business. Alfresco Dining Guidelines Guidelines have been developed to implement the Policy Objectives and provide a comprehensive framework for the development, management and control of alfresco dining areas throughout the City of Rockingham. The Alfresco Dining Guidelines will be updated periodically to reflect any legislative and/or City operational changes. Council Adoption This Policy was adopted by Council at its Ordinary meeting held on …. Definitions Alfresco Dining Area means an area provided for dining on the footpath or other public area

under local government control associated with an approved food business, for temporary commercial dining activities only, within the City of Rockingham.

Trading means selling or hiring goods or services and includes the setting up of a stall and conducting business at a stall.

Purpose of Report To respond to the following Notice of Motion from Cr Jones:

"That Council DIRECT the CEO to establish Cat Prohibited Areas over conservation areas of the Rockingham Lakes Regional Park by introducing provisions into the City of Rockingham Cats Local Law and advertising for public comment before April 2020."

Background Notice of Cr Jones’s proposed motion was provided on 30 September 2020 and the following reasons were given in support:


“As Council’s representative on the Rockingham Lakes Regional Park Community Advisory Committee I have been requested to commence the establishment of Cat Prohibited Areas over the Rockingham Lakes Regional Park to protect native fauna.

A recent article in “The Conservation” (14 May 2020) compiled results from 66 different studies on pet cats to gauge the impact of Australia’s pet population on the country’s wildlife. The article concludes that on average each pet cat in Australia kills 186 animals each year and is made up of 110 native animals (40 reptiles, 38 birds and 32 mammals). https://theconversation.com/one-cat-one-year-110-native-animals-lock-up-your-pet-its-a-killing-machine-138412 The City has been educating cat owners to confine their cats to their own property. Other Local Governments, like the City of Cockburn have adopted a staged approach in prohibiting cats in certain areas. The first stage includes prohibiting cats in conservation areas of regional parks.

The Cities of Stirling, Fremantle and Mandurah have additional provisions in their Cat Local Law in regard to prohibiting cats from selected areas.

Owners of pet cats captured in specific prohibited areas are fined. Cats that are not microchipped are sent to a facility such as the Cat Haven for rehoming.

The Friends of the Paganoni Swamp Reserve have been successful in obtaining grant funding for cat control.

When Council adopted the Local Cat Law it was advised that provisions could not be added to control roaming cats similar to how dogs are controlled. The Council should continue to advocate and lobby the State Government for broader and more consistent provisions to restrict and/or control roaming cats.”

Details Feral cats (Felis catus) are listed under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) as a key threatening process to the conservation of biodiversity in Australia. Feral cats prey on native fauna species, compete with native fauna for food, habitat and other resources. The City’s Natural Area Conservation Strategy 2017 identifies the following key management objectives to address the threats posed by feral cats within the City of Rockingham:

Ensure feral animal control methods are suitable for use in close proximity to urban environments

Optimise the use of limited resources by undertaking monitoring to prioritise areas of high feral animal activity

Prioritise control in areas of high quality natural vegetation to prevent degradation of habitat value

Prioritise areas of known fauna habitat, particularly to support Southern Brown Bandicoot populations.

It should be noted that the Strategy does not distinguish between feral and domestic cats, as domestic cats pose the same threats to biodiversity conservation as feral cats. In terms of monitoring, data relating to the density and distribution of feral fauna populations is collected through the City’s biannual Feral Animal Control Program. The program indicates that both domestic and feral cats are present in the City’s reserves and posing a threat to native fauna, however, domestic cat numbers in reserves are approximately double those of feral cats. To ensure the control programs are effective long term, the transition of cats from domestic to stray or feral must be prevented. By prohibiting access to reserves for domestic cats the effectiveness of the Feral Animal Control Program may also improve as it will more effectively target both the domestic and feral cat colonies. The following City managed reserves have been prioritised for the Feral Animal Control Program:

Baldivis Nature Reserve;

Dixon Road Conservation Precinct;

Implications to Consider a. Consultation with the Community

In 2018, the City advertised a public notice State wide inviting the community to comment on the proposed Cats Local Law 2018. Public notices were placed in the West Australian, the Sound Telegraph and the Weekend Courier newspapers. The draft local law was also advertised through Facebook and the City’s website - Share Your Thoughts. Additionally, the draft local laws were able to be read at the City of Rockingham Administration Building and libraries during office hours. The public submission period was from 2 July to 17 August 2018, a period of more than six weeks and there were a number of comments received from members of the community about the impact of cats on native fauna. In 2019, numerous community events were held promoting responsible pet ownership including a registration drive. People surveyed during these engagements indicated a very high level of support for more laws relating to cat movement. There will need to be further public consultation in regards to this proposal as part of the process of changing local laws

b. Consultation with Government Agencies In May 2019, the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries commenced a statutory review of the Cat Act and the Dog Amendment Act 2013. The purpose of the review, in context of the Cat Act, was to gather feedback and information about how effective it had been to date and to identify if there was a need for change. In September 2019, the department published a report on the findings of the review including that there was strong support for cat containment legislation. On 5 March 2020 the CEO corresponded with the Hon David Templeman, MLA Minister for Local Government; Heritage; Culture and The Arts, urging Government to implement the findings of the statutory review as soon as possible. On 26 March 2020 Minister Templeman acknowledged the City’s request, however, advised that no timeline had yet been set due to the Government’s need to focus on COVID-19.

c. Strategic Community Plan

This item addresses the Community’s Vision for the future and specifically the following Aspirations and Strategic Objectives contained in the Strategic Community Plan 2019-2029: Aspiration 2: Plan for Future Generations


Strategic Objective: Preservation and Management of Bushland and Coastal Reserves - Encourage the sustainable management and use of the City’s bushland reserves.

Aspiration 4: Deliver Quality Leadership and Business Expertise Strategic Objective: Effective Governance - Apply systems of governance which

empower the Council to make considered and informed decisions within a transparent, accountable, ethical and compliant environment.

d. Policy Nil

e. Financial Funds have been allocated in the budget for costs associated with drafting, advertising and eventual Gazettal of the proposed local law.

f. Legal and Statutory The Cat Act 2011 (the Cat Act) was created in November 2011 to encourage responsible cat ownership and provide powers for authorities to take action to support this. There are provisions in the Cat Act to specify places where cats are prohibited absolutely in local laws.

g. Risk All Council decisions are subject to risk assessment according to the City’s Risk Framework. Implications and comment will only be provided for the following assessed risks.

Customer Service / Project management / Environment: High and Extreme Risks Finance / Personal Health and Safety: Medium, High and Extreme Risks

Nil

Comments Given the community support to manage the negative impact of cat populations on the natural environment, the City supports the Notice of Motion. There will need to be further consultation with the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) in respect of the current proposal due to its role as a joint land manger and custodian of the Rockingham Lakes Regional Parks. Once consultation has occurred with DBCA the amendments can be drafted and then provided to Council to begin the local law process.

Alfresco Dining Guidelines The purpose of these Guidelines is to provide information and guidance to registered food businesses which wish to establish an alfresco dining area within the City of Rockingham. The Guidelines set out the conditions for alfresco dining areas and provides a framework which applications for alfresco dining permits will be assessed and for alfresco dining areas to be managed. An alfresco dining permit is not required for outdoor dining activities: on private commercial or industrial land, where development approval may be required; as part of an approved outdoor event; or not associated with a registered food business. Applications for an alfresco dining permit can only be made by a food business that has a Certificate of Registration issued by the City’s Health Services. THE PERMIT A permit for alfresco dining will allow the permit holder to place approved furniture and equipment on the footpath or public area in front of their food premises. The permit does not grant exclusive rights over the relevant public space and the permit holder cannot exclude the general public from using tables and chairs provided for the purpose of alfresco dining. An alfresco dining permit will be: issued in the name of the applicant transferable at the City’s discretion valid only for the times and dates on the permit valid only for the area stipulated on the permit valid only for the activity described on the permit subject to fees and charges subject to conditions of approval Permits will be issued for one financial year and expire on 30 June each year. Applications for renewal of the permit must be made one month prior to expiry. The City may amend permit conditions by written notice to the permit holder at any time with or without consultation of the permit holder. The City reserves the right to cancel or suspend a permit at any time to ensure public safety is maintained, or for breach of permit conditions.

Page | 6

A copy of the applicant’s Public Liability Insurance (Certificate of Currency) with a cover of not less than $20,000,000 (twenty million dollars) must be provided with the application for an Alfresco Dining Permit. Fees Fees are established in accordance with Sections 6.16 to 6.19 of the Local Government Act 1995 and may be reviewed annually. Fees and charges for the current financial year can be found on the City’s website.

Change of Owner / Transfer An Alfresco Dining Permit is issued in the name of the applicant. Where there is a change of owner of the food business associated with the Alfresco Dining Permit, the new operator can complete an Application for Alfresco Dining Permit form and forward it to the City with the required fee for a new Permit to be issued. A change of owner / transfer is only to be completed where the new owner / operator does not make any changes to the defined alfresco area, and the number and type of tables and chairs or fixtures noted on the existing permit. If any changes are made, then a new application must be submitted with the appropriate information and fee. PERMIT CONDITIONS Location Alfresco dining areas will only be approved where the location, size or layout will not compromise public access, circulation, safety of patrons or other street users, and must not block sight lines for pedestrians or vehicles. Generally, alfresco dining areas can only be established outside the food business to which they relate (not encroach across neighbouring property lines) and on footpaths with a width of at least 3.1m. Alfresco dining areas must not obstruct any fire escapes or emergency exits. Should the proposed alfresco dining area include any City infrastructure (eg litter bin, public seat etc), the City is under no obligation to remove this infrastructure to allow for commercial use of the public area. If the City agrees to relocate or remove any City infrastructure, the business that makes the request will be liable for the costs involved. Minimum setback requirements for an alfresco dining area are as follows: 0.6m from kerb (near normal parking, or where there is no adjacent parking); 1.5m from kerb when near accessible parking; 1m from any public transport access point, bus zone or taxi stand; 1m from any driveway crossover or pedestrian crossing; 1m from any service object including fire hydrant, utility pit, drain, public seat, bike rack,

pay phone, parking meter, rubbish bin or the like; 1m from any landscaped area or street tree (measured from the outside of the street

tree pit or grate); 1m from loading zone; and 2m from the corner alignment of the building at street intersections.

Figure 1 - Clearances required around the alfresco dining area

Pedestrian Access The primary function of a footpath is to provide access for pedestrians and other users travelling along the street. This clear path of travel, which is to be maintained on all public footpaths before other users are considered, is referred to as the pedestrian clearway. The pedestrian clearway must provide a consistent and predictable path of travel for each street block. Pedestrians must be able to make normal use of the footpath without being obliged to manoeuvre around street furniture or street trees, step onto the road at any point or make other unwarranted detours. This means that alfresco dining areas along one street must all have the same pedestrian clearway alignment. The minimum clear pedestrian clearway width to be provided at all times is 1.5 metres. In areas of heavy pedestrian traffic, a wider pedestrian clearway may be required and in some locations alfresco dining may be unsuitable. The default alignment for the pedestrian clearway is adjacent to the building line, running parallel with the street. See Figure 2 Where conditions are suitable, the City will consider a kerbside pedestrian clearway alignment. See Figure 3 The permit holder is to ensure that all furniture, fixtures and any objects associated with the alfresco area are retained in the approved area at all times and do not encroach into the pedestrian clearway or other areas of the footpath.

Figure 4 - this pedestrian clearway is not in a consistent location on the block, and is not predictable for pedestrians.

Furniture and Equipment Alfresco dining furniture including barriers and other equipment, must be maintained in physically sound and aesthetically acceptable condition and in a good state of repair. They must be designed so that corners and fastenings do not create a potential hazard for pedestrians and patrons. Furniture and equipment must be sturdy enough to withstand strong winds and be easily packed or folded away. All furniture and equipment including barriers must be placed and kept within the area defined in the permit during operation of the alfresco dining and must not compromise the access and safety of patrons, pedestrians or road users. All furniture and equipment including barriers is to be free standing and removable, unless specific approval has been given by the City for permanent fixing. Design requirements The design of the furniture, including barriers used for the alfresco dining area should

be in keeping with the style and character of the host building and reflect the interior image of the business

Alfresco dining patron numbers will be determined on assessment of each application, but will not exceed an occupancy of one person per m2.

White tabletops and white chairs are not permitted in alfresco dining areas due to the possibility of glare.



Page | 10

Removal and storage of furniture All furniture must be removed from the alfresco dining area at the close of business each

day, unless otherwise permitted by the City. Where furniture or equipment has been permitted to remain on the footpath or public

area during the hours of darkness, illumination of the obstructions shall be provided by the permit holder and is to be approved by the City.

Umbrellas Umbrellas are permitted, provided they: have a minimum clearance of 2.1 metres above the footpath level to prevent injury to

patrons and pedestrians are adequately secured against the effects of adverse weather, and are closed or

removed during strong wind conditions. Details in regards to how the umbrellas are to be secured is to be provided with the application

are maintained in good condition at all times removed from the footpath when not in use, unless approved by the City do not include side curtains are not reflective or create glare Planter boxes Planter boxes are to be of a design approved by the City, and must not block sight lines for pedestrians or vehicles. Planter boxes must be constructed of durable materials and the physical appearance must complement the streetscape character of the area. Watering and discharge from the planter boxes must not enter into the stormwater system, stain the pavement area or create a hazard for pedestrians. Vegetation in planter boxes is to be maintained and replaced as necessary. Barriers / Screens Portable screens must be appropriately secured at all times to maintain safety in adverse weather conditions (e.g. weights/sand bags). Screens must be aligned parallel to the kerb or designated alfresco area, be retained within the approved area, and must not block sight lines for pedestrians or vehicles. Heating and Cooling equipment Any proposed heating or cooling units will need City approval. The units should be specifically designed for outdoor operation and should be equipped with emergency shut off valves. If gas heaters are used they should: turn off automatically if they are overturned, be turned off when the alfresco area is not in use, be stored safely, as per AS/NZS 1596



Page | 11

The use of BBQ’s and cooking equipment in alfresco dining areas is generally not supported, but may be considered on an individual basis as part of the Alfresco Dining Permit application. Consideration will be given to public safety, egress and the suitability of the proposed location.

Lighting

Where alfresco dining occurs outside daylight hours, adequate lighting must be provided and maintained by the permit holder.

Lighting must be evenly distributed across the alfresco dining area to ensure the safety and amenity of both patrons and pedestrians is met.

Access and inclusion for people with a disability The City strongly encourages that consideration is given to make your alfresco dining area accessible. Making an alfresco dining area accessible to people with a disability is more than just providing access for wheelchairs. People with a disability can face a number of barriers and the following should be considered; Outdoor Dining Is your furniture stable? Can a wheelchair fit easily under at least some of your tables? As a guide a table surface

height of 750mm - 850mm is recommended. Can a wheelchair access the outdoor dining area without impeding the pedestrian

access way? Is your seating access friendly? As a guide seating height of 450mm - 520mm is

recommended. Is there sufficient lighting (without glare) in the area to assist those with vision

impairment? Does the colour of your furniture contrast with the area around it, enabling the vision

impaired to navigate the space? Does your premises offer an accessible toilet? Menus and Cutlery Are your menus in large font and easy to read? Do you have hard copy menus that can be read at the table rather than having to locate

a menu board? Is your crockery and cutlery easy to hold and use?



Page | 14

General Accessibility Are your staff made aware of the considerations to make alfresco dining areas more

accessible? Are your doorways clear of hazards? Are any steps clearly marked? Are there any head height hazards? Guide Dogs and Assistance dogs Is there space for a guide/assistance dog to be placed without impeding the pedestrian

access way? Is a water bowl available on request for guide/assistance dogs? Considering these aspects is important for making your alfresco dining area accessible to people with disabilities.

Page | 16

Parklets

There are some locations where the City will consider the creation of a ‘parklet’. Parklets are temporary moveable structures placed in car parking bays, providing publicly accessible seating and amenities for the community, including alfresco dining for adjacent food premises.

Author: Mr Jeff John, Environmental Planning Officer

Progress Report:

In 2014, the City developed the Baldivis Tramway Master Plan to identify management issues for the 12km portion of the Baldivis Tramway Reserve located within the City of Rockingham, and to coordinate an approach to address these issues. The City has engaged Ecoscape to undertake an Environmental Assessment Report to review the current condition of the Tramway, in comparison to the previous environmental assessments conducted in 2014.

Project 3.3 Lake Richmond Management Plan Implementation

Project Officer: Mr Rory Garven, Coordinator Sustainability and Environment

Author: Mr Rory Garven, Coordinator Sustainability and Environment

Progress Report:

Planning and Development Services Bulletin October 2020 PAGE 21 In order to address the decline in thrombolite growth rates at Lake Richmond, the Lake Richmond Management Plan (2020) has identified a number of management actions to establish a hydrological regime that favours microbial growth. These actions will be implemented by the City over the next five years to determine whether the health and prolificacy of the thrombolite community can feasibly be restored. In this regard, the City has committed to taking soil samples from around the periphery of the lake to assess if there are sufficient sulphide deposits required for continued thrombolite growth. To this end, the City has reached an agreement with the Water Corporation to obtain free soil sampling data from recent testing undertaken at the reserve by the Corporation. The City will also engage a suitably qualified consultant to assess how thrombolite samples respond to exposure to artificially modified lake water. This will provide valuable insight into how the thrombolite community is likely to respond to the lake hydrology being returned to its natural condition. The success of the Weed Management Strategy, contained within the Lake Richmond Management Plan will also be reviewed after its first year of implementation (February 2021).

Progress Report:

As an outcome of the Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP), the City is undertaking an analysis of its existing coastal monitoring program to identify areas where improvements can be made to coastal hazard modelling and planning over the next ten years. This work has recently received a boost as the City was awarded grant funding as part of the Department of Transport’s Coastal Adaptation and Protection Grants Program. The funding will contribute towards a full-coverage hydrographic and beach survey from Peron to Singleton. Data for the remaining stretch of the City’s coastline, within Cockburn Sound, will be collected by a separate survey, to be commissioned by the Cockburn Sound Coastal Alliance. The two surveys will ensure that the entire stretch of coastline, from Fremantle to Singleton, will be surveyed using the same methodology. It is anticipated that this survey will occur in 2021.

4. Confirmation of Minutes of the Previous Meeting Moved Mr Tim Fisher, seconded Mr Terry Wegwermer:

That Committee CONFIRMS the Minutes of the Bush Fire Advisory Committee meeting held on 8 September 2020, as a true and accurate record.

Carried

5. Matters Arising from the Previous Minutes 5.1 Action Item List

Action Item No. 4 – Firebreak at the Northern extension of Jarvis Road GW stated that the update from our last meeting in March 2020 was that the City had received the funding and that the fire break should be completed by the end of June. GW however could not confirm if the works have been completed. GW asked BVFES if anyone had noticed the works, BS responded and advised that BVFES have not checked. This item has been marked for follow up. Since the meeting the track has been installed from Sixty Eight Road, Baldivis south. This item is now completed.

Action Item No. 7 – Fencing at Tesla Road bushland This action item is with TW and when we left it back in March TW advised he had received the agreement from all of the other agencies to go ahead with all the fencing it’s just a matter of waiting on the updated quote from the contractor and the works will commence. TW informed the committee that the work has been done, now the battle will be just keeping the fence intact. The gates are also in place and are co-locked with the City’s ES1 locks. GW noted that the works have been completed and this item can now be closed.

Action Item No. 8 – Unallocated Crown Land Prescribed Burns – Tesla Road and Kerosene Lane In March GW requested that it be noted that from previous notes on this item that Kerosene Lane would not go ahead it now remains to be Tesla Road, Terry advised that subject to seasonal conditions DFES would be looking at actioning this item in Autumn. TW provided an update and advised with the COVID-19 pandemic which pushed this item back. The block that DFES are looking at is behind Active Industries on the corner of Dixon Road, there will be some grass tree burning in this area just to reduce the flash fuel loads. The prescription has been signed off it’s just a matter of picking the right time to conduct the works, DFES are anticipating to complete this before the end of September. GW noted that Tesla and Kerosene will be removed from the Action Item List and leave this item will remain open as an item to be completed behind Active Industries. TW added that whilst on the topic of prescribed burns, DFES are also looking at what they can do within the Port Kennedy block to the north of Scientific Park in the strip between the golf course and Bayside Boulevard.

Action Item No. 12 – Prescribed Burning on COR Land In March Karli Hicks advised that the progress is still being made on the procedures and how we do that.



GW can inform the committee that this has been achieved, and management are satisfied with the prescription and the sign off the procedure. GW has been working with the Bush Fire Mitigation team on this and as a result GW can also say that there are a few burns to be done in September as a result, GW will confirm what they are at the next meeting. This item has been left as ongoing with hopefully burns to be completed this September at two locations.

Action Item No. 16 – Homeless/Rough Sleepers Camping in Bushland Areas Earlier this month GW sent an update through to DFES and DBCA with the locations of where it is known that people are camping, this is done primarily so that Incident Controllers are aware that if there is a bushfire in certain spots that there is the consideration that there may be people possibly living in there. Also, this has been extended to include urban areas as well for the same reasoning so that responders know to expect or possibly expect people to be in that location if they need to go to an Emergency. This has been sent through for September to December, this item is ongoing.

Action Item No. 18 – Sealed Access Way and Mitigation Actions from Fletcher Road to Paganoni Road There was going to be a meeting, GW queried TW to ask if this went ahead as he was not involved. TW advised that he and TF had a discussion about this but he doesn’t think that this eventuated to anything. TF added he responded to Karli Hicks but he doesn’t believe she heard back from everyone she needed to for the meeting to go ahead. This item is to be left as ongoing.

6. Declarations of Members and Officers Interests Nil

7. Petitions/Deputations/Presentations/Submissions Nil

8. Agenda Items

8.1 City of Rockingham – Mrs Helen Edwards & Mr Greg Whip Helen advised that the City has a couple of Fire Break Inspectors out in the field at the moment and they are looking at properties that are under Fire Management Plans. It is beneficial to have the Fire Break Inspectors out now, as it makes it a little bit easier to have those works completed and then we can continue on with the Fire Control Notice Inspections. At the moment, the properties we are looking at are variations and are going quite well, hopefully we will have these completed prior to the 1 December.

Greg informed the committee that as of the 1 October 2020, permit season commences again. If the brigades that get the notifications are still happy we will continue to send through the approved permits how we have for previous seasons. This notification includes a list of where the burns are, which has been going to the Volunteer brigades within Rockingham. On that, Greg is pleased to advise that the majority of property owners that are burning outside of the restricted burning period seem to be logging their burns with DFES and appearing on Emergency WA website. This gives a good indication on who is burning in the district at the moment whilst permits are not required.



Greg reported that the City has provided feedback on the National Review of the Australian Fire Danger Rating system. The City was sent a survey to provide some information back through DFES to the national body on what if/when the fire danger rating system was to be changed. They were seeking information on how that would affect Local Government, whether it be infrastructure we already have, what education programs we have for the community and how we’d manage with any changes to those signs or information we provide the public. Greg confirmed that the City has answered those questions and provided that back to DFES to give it to AFAC.

Report was submitted by the City’s Bushfire Mitigation team for the minutes: Bushfire Mitigation – City Managed Land

1. A request for quote has been established and awarded for fire break installation, forestry mulching, slashing and rural verge mowing in East Baldivis.

2. An Engineering and Parks Procedure and associated documentation for Planned Burning has been developed and approved

3. The Mitigation Activity Fund Round 2 application was approved in November 2019 for 53 treatments being a total of $716,165. A Supplementary application for $93,123 was approved in March 2020 for a treatment in Wilkinson Road. (a) In relation to the supplementary application, 90% of the works are

complete, including forestry mulching of vegetation and the installation of the mineral earth fire break. There is still some minor pruning and post fire weed control to be completed prior to 1 November.

(b) A total of 28 treatments from the primary application, for a total of $570,000, are now complete. These include: - Installation of 7 emergency fire access tracks, including clearing

works have been completed at the following sites for a value of $393,000;

Tramway – Stakehill Road to Karnup Road, Baldivis – 990 metres

Jarvis Road, Baldivis – 240 metres Ukich Place, Baldivis – 170 metres Hidden Swamp, Secret Harbour – 425 metres Tramway – Karnup Nature Reserve – 133 metres San Javier Circle, Secret Harbour – 275 metres Harvey Road to Paganoni Road, Karnup – 4200 metres.

- Undertaking 2 treatments for forestry mulching valued at $26,000 have been completed, those being;

The land behind Alfred Hines home Powell Road undeveloped road reserve

- Installing 6 gates at a value of $6,000 - Undertaking 17 treatments for vegetation pruning or slashing have

been completed for a value of $145,000.

(c) There are currently 4 treatments that are in progress for a value of $44,000, which include; - Installation of a 4m wide concrete paths at Anstey Q Reserve (Lorne

Bend) and Tamworth Hill Swamp - Establishment of a 4x4 mineral earth fire break at the Karnup School

site - The installation of heavy duty gates at Tramway Reserve



(d) There are 21 treatments, at a value of $ 102,000, that have not yet been commenced. These are; - The installation of gates at three sites will be completed prior to

November 2020 - Forestry mulching at four sites are to be completed prior to

November 2020 - Installation of fire breaks at two sites will occur prior to November

2020

- The fire access track in the Warnbro dunes will not be installed due to topography issues, an alternate treatment will be developed

- Chemical treatment at three sites relate to post burn treatment and will not occur until the planned burns are completed.

- Planned burns were approved for funding at eight sites. At this stage the City plans to undertake two planned burns in September, in conjunction with the volunteer fire fighters, subject to final approval. The remaining six planned burns will not occur this calendar year, for reasons as follows;

Karnup School Site – site is Banksia woodland, which is suitable for autumn burning.

Baldivis Nature Reserve – site is Banksia woodland, which is suitable for autumn burning

Rockingham Golf Course – Frank Brown Reserve – This burn is to be conducted in collaboration with DBCA, plans to burn this site have been postponed until further notice from DBCA. It is expected that this site will be burned in autumn 2021.

Streetscape Maintenance, Rockingham – A burn plan was prepared and evaluated with the intention of conducting the burn in September 2020. Evaluation determined the risk was too high due to adjoining critical infrastructure. The site was determined to be better suited to mechanical clearing. An adjoining portion of the site is due to be forestry mulched prior to November. Fuel load reduction will be achieved by extending the forestry mulching to include portions of this area.

Rivergums Tramway – site is Banksia woodland, which is suitable for Autumn burning

Rivergums Tramway – site is Banksia woodland, which is suitable for Autumn burning.

8.2 Karnup Volunteer Fire and Emergency Service – Mr Ryan Bulluss Nil report

8.3 Department Fire and Emergency Services – Mr Terry Wegwermer

Terry advised that there will be a couple of hazard reduction burns that DFES will be conducting on behalf of the City, DFES will let the City know when they will be getting done. Terry also alerted the committee to say that DFES have been approached by Alcoa in regards to their wetland reserve out in Baldivis off Mundijong Road. Alcoa are looking at conducting a five hectare grass burn at that location, DFES will liaise with the City in relation to this. As GW had already mentioned there is currently a national fire danger rating review, the big driver behind this was a result of a public survey which suggested the community were confused over the ratings and what they actually meant. This survey is a nationally driven initiative to try and simplify the process and we are all key players.



One of the key things in one of the preliminary meetings was to actually outline how much of an impact it would have with regards to Local Government and other users of the fire danger rating system.

Terry mentioned that the MAF funding should still be open at this point in time and doesn’t close until the 27 September. This funding is for State lands managed by Local Government. GW advised Terry that the MAF funding information has reached the City for consideration and is with Engineering and Parks. Assistant Commissioner Mr Brad Stringer is retiring, his last day will be the 9 September and a replacement has not been sought as yet.

8.4 Baldivis Volunteer Fire and Emergency Service – Mr Brenton Smith

Brenton conveyed the brigade’s thanks and support to the City for the work on the shed and the effort to reach this point so far.

Baldivis also has new leadership within the brigade and a new direction as well, Baldivis are going to try and become a more consultative and collective brigade and reaching out to other brigades in the area.

Baldivis have also offered their services to support the City and Parks and Wildlife that are in and around the area. As a brigade, some of us have already started to inspect some private properties for some upcoming burning, there should be about 3 – 4 prescriptions that should have been sent to the DO or will be shortly. One of the key directions the brigade would like to work towards is the familiarisation of the area, a lot of newer members over the last couple of years haven’t really focused on what is around. This will be a big focus for us over the next few months, which includes driving through areas with the new upgraded roads and gates, so anything that is noticed will be reported back to the City.

GW asked if the City is approached by private property owners for assistance with burns, are we continuing to send them to DFES? TW confirmed this and DFES will then decide where it goes. Terry added that it’s also so that DFES can have an awareness for insurance purposes and cover off on operational requirements.

8.5 Rockingham Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service – Mr Andrew Munro Report submitted by Andrew Munro The brigade as of this report has 18 active, 10 probationary and 6 support members. The brigade has also had numerous enquiries about volunteering in the VFRS since the last meeting. The brigade since restrictions were lifted have conducted a recruitment drive and has, taken on ten probationary members. The brigade operates a Series 4HSR and Mk 24 Light Tanker. The brigade also operates an additional Light Tanker with Rockingham 1st during the summer fire season. The brigade has continued with on station training and with Rockingham 1st. Members are also continuing with their e-academy training to formalise their individual pathways. Formal courses have been reduced in availability due to COVID, however we have been able to get members on several courses to maintain their pathways progression. The brigade has been constant in the number of calls and incidents attended. Generally a quieter start to the Near year, most so far have been DBA’s in attendance with several MVA’s and structure fires within Rockingham. The brigade has been issued the new updated copies of the UXO Urban Bushland Plans/response for our local area. The brigade has also been active in assisting with H/R burns at Port Kennedy Primary School and two burns conducted in Kwinana.



8.6 Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) – Mr Tim Fisher

Pre-season training is currently underway and refreshing ourselves on bushfires leading into the season, seasonal staff will be commencing within the next month. Locally we’re preparing all the parks and have sprayed all the fire breaks in the parks and have upgraded some firebreaks at Paganoni Reserve trialling a new trimming machine. Lake Cooloongup is still open for prescription for this burning season and we are hoping we get there but will just see how that pans out in the regional priorities. Another property has been purchased on Jarvis Road by the Department of Planning (WAPC) as a long standing tenant has now moved on.

Local officer Tony Eddleston is moving on and has secured a job up in Kununurra, his last day will be the end of next week and a replacement has not been sought yet. Tim advised he will update the committee of Tony’s replacement at our next meeting in December.

8.7 Secret Harbour Volunteer Fire and Rescue Service – Mr Stephen Summerton

Coming into Summer, Secret Harbour will start their rounds about Bushfire safety awareness.

9. Other Business 9.1 GW advised that he was approached by the Rockingham Fire and Rescue Service

in relation to another air craft exercise. One was done previously utilising Lark Hill as a location to land the helicopter, and the City along with other agencies are looking at conducting another one in November, no dates confirmed at this stage. If there are any other areas other than operating from Lark Hill again, please let Greg know.

9.2 SS queried in light of Tony Eddleston’s departure who will be the best contact for any damage or reports that need to be made in relation to Scientific Park. TF advised that normally it would be a local officer but until a replacement is sought, to send any reports through and he will forward on to the correct people.

10. Date and Time of Next Meeting The next Bush Fire Advisory Committee meeting will be held on Tuesday, 8 December 2020

in the Boardroom, Council Administration Building, Civic Boulevard, Rockingham. The meeting will commence at 6:30pm.

Administration Complex Following Council approval, an additional flagpole was installed at the main Administration Complex bringing the total number to five. This will allow for the flying of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flag concurrently during working hours. The new installation involved the relocation of three of the existing four flagpoles and associated paving repairs.

Administration Complex

Rockingham Aquatic Centre Whilst the facility was closed for the winter season, the opportunity was taken to carry-out internal painting to the change rooms. All of the exposed brickwork was painted along with the ceilings, doors, doorframes, tiles, timberwork and floors. The end result is a drastic improvement, providing a far lighter and cleaner environment for users.

Rockingham Aquatic Centre

Coastal Community Centre As part of the City’s timber floor maintenance program, the parquetry flooring in the playgroup room was identified for recoating. Flooring maintenance in this particular area has proven challenging in the past due to difficulties in finding a window of opportunity to carry-out the works. The floor was sanded back to bare timber and three coats of a hard wearing water-based product were applied. The project took five days to complete including curing time.


Coastal Community Centre

Esplanade Boat Ramp Toilet Block A minor refurbishment project is underway at the Esplanade toilet block. Masonry and structural steel repairs were carried-out initially off the back of a structural engineering report. This has rectified areas of extensive cracking and failed connections. Some plumbing repairs and minor carpentry have also been carried-out. Next will be corrosion treatment to steel purlins, other carpentry works and then internal and external painting. The intention is to keep the toilet block open throughout, with as little service disruption as possible.

Esplanade Boat Ramp Toilet

Solar Power Generation Reducing energy consumption remains a key focus for the City and to assist in this pursuit, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are fitted to a range of facilities and reserves. There are currently 92 solar PV systems across the City. Below is a table and graph of the energy generated by seven buildings capable of being remotely monitored. A combined 50,337 kW/h of electricity was generated in September 2020 which has reduced the City’s greenhouse gases by 35 metric tons. The figures are significantly lower in comparison to previous months due to failing inverters at the Administration Building. Pictorial equivalent reductions are also listed below highlighting the environmental benefits of these systems. Administration Centre solar system is isolated currently with no solar production statistics available whilst repairs are carried out after a recent failure of a solar inverter.

Naval Memorial Park The existing flagpole at the Naval Memorial Park was very old and in a poor condition, with failed halyard and evidence of metal fatigue evident. This flagpole was removed and replaced with two new flagpoles, relocated to a more suitable location at the end of the memorial walk. Including the excavation, installation of new concrete footings, bolt cages and the new flagpoles, the project took three days to complete.

Naval Memorial Park

Public Artwork maintenance At the corner of Kent Street and Flinders Lane there are two public artworks; ‘The Hull’ and the ‘Sculptural Billboard’. These pieces were in need of maintenance to restore their appearance and functionality. Minor carpentry repairs were carried-out to the Sculptural Billboard to replace missing slats and trim the seating. It was then recoated to protect the timber from the elements. The repairs to The Hull were more extensive, requiring the rotten timbers to be completely removed. The piece then underwent reinforcement and concrete repairs and waterproofing. A new jarrah slab was sourced, cut to fit and installed on the piece.

The Hull

Baldivis Youth Space To assist a Community Safety project, all of the hand / foot holds were removed from the climbing walls and the voids filled with an epoxy grout and sanded. All of the walls were then prepared and painted with an oil-based undercoat ready for finishing. An artist engaged by Community Safety then painted a mural over the top.


Baldivis Youth Space

Lighting Inspections Monthly night time inspections are carried out by City contractors to all 3,583 light poles. The results from September 2020 inspections confirmed that approximately 96% of the network is operational. Work requests are lodged for luminaries not operating correctly at the time of inspection. Vandalism Asset vandalism is an ongoing and escalating issue for the City. Vandalism repairs take priority over other planned works as these issues invariably attract additional vandalism. At the City’s Reserves, various acts of vandalism were carried-out at Harrington Waters Reserve, Larkhill Reserve, Georgetown Reserve, Notteley Crescent Reserve, Veterans Park, Tamworth Swamp, City Park, Timbarra Reserve and Bravo Reserve. These instances included damage to seats, meter boxes, electrical distribution boxes, play equipment, masonry walls and signage.

Veterans Park memorial wall

At the City’s public toilet facilities, damage was caused at Secret Harbour Oval change rooms, Fantasy Park toilet block, Don Cuthbertson toilet block, Veterans Park toilet block, Baldivis Children’s Forest toilets, Esplanade Boat Ramp toilets, Singleton Community Centre toilets, Golden Bay Foreshore toilet block and the Wanliss Street Exeloo. These instances included damage to doors, tiles, sharps containers, security gates, locks, screening, plumbing and toilet roll holders.


Secret Harbour Oval change room toilets

At the City’s buildings, damage was caused at the Larkhill Rugby building, the Autumn Centre, the Rockingham Gem Club building, Shoalwater Reserve change rooms and the Safety Bay Health Clinic. These instances included damage to doors and door frames, fencing and associated damages from break-ins.

Larkhill Rugby Building

Dial Before You Dig The City is a registered member of Dial Before You Dig, meaning the City receives information on proposed works that will be undertaken around our registered assets. Any third party intending to work around infrastructure assets can make a free enquiry to Dial Before You Dig to identify any City owned underground assets that exist within their proposed work site. This service helps protect

Engineering and Parks Services Bulletin 19 October 2020 PAGE 16 the City’s underground assets such as the stormwater drainage network and fibre optic cables from damage. It also enables the City to identify the responsible party for any damage that may arise from such works.

The Dial Before You Dig requests are processed through an automated service provided to the City by a contractor. Requests that result in assets being identified within the proposed work site are known as ‘Affected’ and those where no assets exist are ‘Not Affected’. Figure 4 illustrates that during September 2020, 1163 requests were made to the City and 959 of those requests were sites where City assets existed within the proposed work site, helping protect these assets from damage. Figure 5 illustrates the activities associated with the requests made to the City.

The City has been investing in coastal management planning over a range of timeframes, from medium term (20-50 year) master plans for specific sections of coast, to long term considerations (over a 100 year timeline) in the Coastal Hazards Risk Management Adaption Plan. To help guide the City’s provision of coastal infrastructure and outline coastal management activities in the shorter term (over the next four years) the City is currently developing a Coastal Facilities Strategy. A consultant has been appointed to administer the community consultation in October/November 2020 to inform the draft strategy. The draft strategy will be presented to Council for endorsement for community consultation. Once the draft strategy is developed another round of community consultation will be undertaken prior to finalising the strategy. The second round of consultation is likely to occur in January/February 2021. The draft strategy will be advertised through the City’s website and social media.

Coastal Capital Projects

Project Description Status

Mersey Point Seawall Extension towards west

Construction of new Granite Seawall at Mersey Point

The City has appointed an Aboriginal Heritage Consultant to manage the Section 18 Aboriginal Heritage Act approval process. The City has entered into a legal contract with South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council (SWALSC) for the release of the Traditional Owners’ details. The consultant is in the process of undertaking consultation with the Traditional Owners about the project. Following the consultation, a report will be prepared to accompany the Section 18 application. The application will be considered by The Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee (ACMC). ACMC is established under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 to represent Aboriginal People on heritage matters. The application will then be forwarded to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs for approval/rejection with the Committee’s recommendations. The City is not clear whether approval will be received and if so, when and what conditions may be imposed to excavate the area. The Design for the project has been finalised so civil works can commence following the approval of Section 18.


Project Description Status

Existing Mersey Point Seawall Upgrade

Design and construct new Limestone Seawall

Submissions from Tenderers received early October 2020. Assessment to be undertaken in October 2020. Construction is likely to start in February/March 2021. The project is funded by the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Infrastructure Program funding.

Port Kennedy Boat Ramp & Holding Jetty structural upgrades/maintenance

Regular Maintenance

Port Kennedy Boat Launching Facility Maintenance Upgrades were completed early October 2020.

Point Peron Spur Groyne extension design & documentation

The design will include the provision of reconstructing the spur groyne and breakwater to the north of the existing footprint providing greater coastal protection and expansion of the existing Point Peron Boat Harbour body of water

Sedimentation modelling has been finalised. The consultant will develop a number of design layout options of the Spur Groyne and Breakwater based on the findings.

Point Peron - Boat Harbour - Detailed design for seabed dredging

The City is currently reviewing the specification before advertising.

Feasibility and Design of additional Boat Ramps at Port Kennedy The City has received the second draft report and an internal review will be undertaken. Stakeholder and community feedback was sought for the project via direct email to relevant state agencies and an online survey. The City has received a high number of responses from the community. This feedback was used to guide the development of the preferred concept options and also to understand the constraints and opportunities relating to the project. The concepts were presented to the Coastal Facilities Advisory Committee. The report provided initial Capital Construction costs with projected ongoing maintenance & management costs for each option which provides the City the Financial Implications to be considered along with the Functionality, Social Outcome and Environmental Outcomes for comparison via a multi-criteria assessment (MCA) to assist the City in determining the preferred option should the project proceed. Capital costs for the options ranged from $2.1M to $10.1M with annual ongoing maintenance and coastal management cost ranging from $85,000 to $465,000. The purpose of the feasibility study was to identify whether it is feasible to extend the boating facilities at Port Kennedy. The study has confirmed that extension of the facility is possible. While the feasibility study only captured the potential constraints at broad level further detail works, designs and relevant approvals will be required should the City wish to proceed with the extension options in future. As part of the development of the Coastal Facilities Strategy an action will be assigned to develop a strategic position on boating facilities provision in the City. Council will be engaged through the process to determine a strategic position. The feasibility study outcome will feed into the development of the strategic position.

Engineering and Parks Services Bulletin 19 October 2020 PAGE 53 Three concept options considered in the report are shown below.

Concept option 1 – Increased Parking

Concept Option 2 – Additional Ramps and Increased Parking


Concept Option 3 – Breakwater Protection, Additional Ramps and Parking

The Committee has agreed and satisfied with the City’s submissions. 1. Safe Roads and Roadsides

Objective 1.1 – Improve the City’s road safety procedures and guidelines

Manoj Barua, Manager Engineering Services and Ryan Gibson, Coordinator Planning and Design have been invited by the Federal Office of Road Safety (ORS) to provide input into the development of the National Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030. They are the only Metropolitan Local Government representatives selected from WA. They will be sharing their experiences of Road Safety initiatives undertaken in the City and provide feedback on the Draft strategy. Congratulations to Manoj and Ryan for highlighting the City of Rockingham at the National level.



Executive Support advised the first meeting was held approximately 3 weeks ago and Manoj represented WA in the meeting. A number of issues were discussed at broader level. It was discussed that lack of adequate funding remains as the key barrier to achieving the road safety outcome. Manoj also raised that disproportionate attention goes to Speed Limit whereas insufficient attention is given to the uptake of Safe vehicles. He recommended a financial incentive model to increase the community uptake of safer vehicles.
