Voting Requirements: Simple Majority required Strategic Relevance Theme 1: Our community and culture Goal: A safe, healthy and cohesive community, with a rich cultural life, and supportive

social environment. Objective 1.4: Arts, culture, heritage and events that enrich our understanding and enjoyment of

life, celebrate our identity and bring the community together. Theme 3: Our places and spaces Goal: A natural and built environment that reflects Bunbury’s core values. Objective 3.3: High-quality urban design, well planned neighbourhoods with housing choice, and

appropriate provision for diverse land uses to meet the community’s needs. Regional Impact Statement

Heritage is important for the community and has environmental, economic and social benefits as a resource for present and future generations. The City of Bunbury recognises the importance of identifying, assessing and managing heritage places within its local government area to align with contemporary community values. Background

The post-election Heritage Advisory Committee (HAC) met for the first time in December 2019 with some new members joining the Committee. It was thought timely to conduct a strategic planning workshop in February 2020 with the Committee to revisit the terms of reference, current projects and any priorities. On completion of the workshop, the HAC members agreed on five priorities that are consistent with the terms of reference. The projects included in the Committee Recommendation were endorsed for referral to Council at the Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting held 12 June 2020. Legislative/Council Policy Compliance

The following statutory planning instruments of the State Planning Framework and Local Planning Framework are applicable to the strategic priorities:

• The Burra Charter • Heritage Act 2018 • Planning and Development Act 2005 • Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 • Relevant Local Planning Policies for Heritage • State Planning Policy 3.5 Historic Heritage Conservation Officer Comments

The strategic planning workshop was held with HAC members after the closing of the February HAC meeting. It was facilitated by the Strategic Planning Officer (Heritage) with the Director Sustainable Communities and the consultant Heritage Advisor providing advice as required.


The workshop focused on the HAC Terms of Reference and projects that were currently addressed in the budget. On completion of the workshop, five priorities were identified by the HAC members and officers. Details are as follows: Priority Project Summary Timeframe Current

Budget 1. Ocean Beach Heritage

Trail A heritage trail adjacent to the footpath predominantly along Ocean Drive. Some of the possible locations and stories could include: 1. BP Beach – the removal of the fuel tanks from

that location; 2. Bunbury Lighthouse - stories of past and

present Bunbury Lighthouses; 3. Above the corner of Clifton Street and Ocean

Drive - how the basalt/volcanic rocks there originated.

4. Area at Wyalup - Rocky Point - the Aboriginal significance of the site and the history, including the quarry;

5. Back Beach Baths – popular but not a viable location for the infrastructure;

6. “The Bright Spot” - which dominated that location during the 1940s, 50s and 60s;

7. Hungry Hollow - the troops training there and the Hungry Hollow Surf Club.

The detailed scope would require a consultant to investigate all locations, type of signage, and preferred construction type. The project would be subject to procurement requirements and a project steering group would include HAC members to peer review signage content. Budget would be required to cover design and construction.

2021-22 Nil – Requires a budget bid approx. $30,000

2. Asset Management Prioritisation

The City has 10 Conservation Management Plans (CMPs) for City-owned heritage assets. A lot of the conservation works occur reactively due to lack of budget. A qualified professional is required to assess the CMPs, prioritise works across the heritage assets and assign costs. This would allow for budget preparation and a rollout of works from year to year.

2021-22 Nil -Requires a budget bid. Approx. $15k

3. Street-by-street survey to inform Local Heritage Survey (MHI)

After the initial preparation of the Municipal Heritage Inventory, places have been added to the MHI by nomination only. This has resulted in adhoc listings.

2021-22 $30k – in existing budget

4. Policy development - Significant Tree Register and Heritage Conservation Notices

Under the The Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015, local governments have the ability to issue tree preservation orders and heritage conservation notices.

2020-21 Will be completed inhouse

5. Incorporation of heritage into City-wide strategies

There is a budget to complete a Heritage Strategy. All other City strategies should incorporate heritage where applicable.

Heritage Strategy in 2021-22 and other reviews would be

$25k for Heritage Strategy in existing budget and

ongoing others by inhouse reviews

Analysis of Financial and Budget Implications

Three of the identified priorities have budget committed. The remaining priorities require budget bids (Ocean Beach Heritage Trail, $30,000 and Asset Management Prioritisation, $15,000). This will be dependent on the COVID-19 recovery response and priorities. Community Consultation

10.1.2 Bunbury Historic Centre Proposal


Development Executive: Gary Barbour, Director Sustainable Communities Authority/Discretion ☒ Advocacy



Attachments: Nil Summary

The purpose of this report is for Council to consider the inclusion, recognition and promotion of the historic centre of Bunbury as part of any City Centre Heritage Trail or relevant strategy in response to the decision at the City of Bunbury Annual Electors Meeting held 3 December 2019. Heritage Advisory Committee Recommendation

That Council endorse that as part of any City Centre Heritage Trail or relevant strategy that the role of the historic centre of Bunbury be recognised and promoted. Voting Requirements: Simple Majority required Strategic Relevance

Theme 1: Our community and culture Goal: A safe, healthy and cohesive community, with a rich cultural life, and supportive

social environment. Objective 1.4: Arts, culture, heritage and events that enrich our understanding and enjoyment of

life, celebrate our identity and bring the community together. Theme 2: Our economy Goal: A thriving and dynamic economy, that plays to its strengths, and confidently

presents to the world. Objective 2.2: Bunbury is known far and wide for its strengths as a place to live, visit and do

business. Regional Impact Statement

The City of Bunbury has had a pivotal role in the development of the State and south west region. Heritage is important for the community and has environmental, economic and social benefits as a resource for present and future generations. Background

At the City of Bunbury Annual Electors Meeting held 3 December 2019, the following Electors’ Decision was made: That the City considers the pros and cons of adding a historic centre to the list of the City’s attractions.


This was then tabled for consideration at the Council Committee meeting of 21 January in which it was decided (Council Decision 012/20) that Council: 1. Notes the Elector’s motion regarding the addition of a historic centre to the list of the City’s

attractions; 2. Refers the motion to the Heritage Advisory Committee (HAC) for consideration and

discussion. At its meeting held 12 June 2020 the Heritage Advisory Committee decided to request Council endorse that as part of any City Centre Heritage Trail or relevant strategy that the role of the historic centre of Bunbury be recognised and promoted. Legislative/Council Policy Compliance

Not applicable Officer Comments Bernhard Bischoff has completed extensive research into Bunbury’s early beginnings. Mr Bischoff spoke to the motion at the AGM that the centre is an attraction to the community and visitors and should be given recognition like the Dolphin Discovery Centre, the Art Gallery, Museum, Basalt beaches, Koombana Bay and Leschenault Inlet. Mr Bischoff has provided further detail for consideration which is summarised as follows:

• The historic centre is similar to the area encompassed by the City of Bunbury Built Heritage Trail and has 33 heritage items, which deserve to be recognised as representing historic Bunbury.

• The history and the built evidence makes Bunbury different from other places, and it is the differences including the different overall character that makes the place interesting for tourists and visitors. Some of them would especially look for historic places to visit. A historic centre would be a point not only for promotion but may also be for protection and emphasis of what is historic. It may also contribute to the activation of the CBD.

• “Stirling at Port Leschenault in 1830: The Eagle’s Excursion to Port Leschenault mark the beginnings of Bunbury in March 1830”, Bischoff, B., 2015. This research paper adds to the interest of Bunbury.

Pros Cons Bunbury has had a pivotal role in the settlement of Western Australia and the South West region.

The significance of Bunbury as a historic centre is well known. However, there is not agreement on the significance of particular dates in relation to Lt Gov Stirling and Bunbury’s settlement. The focus should be on the historic role and contribution to the region and State. All historical stakeholders should agree to the story that is being told.

This would be an additional heritage asset of interest to visitors and the community.

Not applicable

Opportunities to promote the historic centre would be through heritage trails, various strategies (heritage, economic, tourism etc), the Museum and Heritage Centre. Simplified facts e.g. 5 to 10 amazing facts should be focused on.

Would require funding if signage/digital applications are required. This is not included in the current budget.


Pros Cons Review of the Local Heritage Survey could address the historic centre

The centre of Bunbury has changed. Part of Bunbury’s heritage is that of a progressive town that embraced change and it would be difficult to justify a ‘heritage area’. Individual heritage listings, as managed at the moment, are the most effective way to protect and enhance buildings of cultural heritage significance.

In summary, there is value in recognising and promoting the role of the historic centre of Bunbury. Incorporation into a City Centre Heritage Trail with supporting signage/digital applications would add interest to self-guided tours of the City for visitors and the community. Analysis of Financial and Budget Implications This could be addressed in existing strategy reviews at no cost. Any future heritage trails that incorporated signage or digital applications would require additional budget.

10.1.3 Heritage Advisory Committee – Endorsement of Draft Conservation Management Plan - Convent of Mercy Group (fmr) (BRAG)


Development Executive: Gary Barbour, Director Sustainable Communities Authority/Discretion ☐ Advocacy



Attachments: Appendix RAC-1: Draft Conservation Management Plan Summary The purpose of this report is for Council to consider endorsement of the draft Conservation Management Plan for the Convent of Mercy Group (fmr) to provide clear guidance regarding the ongoing conservation and management of the site’s heritage values. Heritage Advisory Committee Recommendation That Council: 1. Endorse the Conservation Management Plan for the Convent of Mercy Group (fmr) as

attached at Appendix RAC-1; and 2. Direct all maintenance and refurbishment works for the Convent of Mercy Group (fmr) be

consistent with the recommendations of the Conservation Management Plan, subject to future budget deliberations and work schedules.

Voting Requirements: Simple Majority required Strategic Relevance Theme 4: Our City Goal: Civic leadership, partnerships and sound governance in delivering with and for the

community. Objective 4.2: A highly-engaged and involved community, working together on strategy

development and implementation. Theme 3: Our places and spaces Goal: A natural and built environment that reflects Bunbury’s core values. Objective 3.3 High-quality urban design, well planned neighbourhoods with housing choice, and

appropriate provision for diverse land uses to meet the community’s needs. Regional Impact Statement The Convent of Mercy Group (fmr) has been an important focus for the community of Bunbury since 1897. The Conservation Management Plan will assist with the long-term conservation in a manner commensurate with the inclusion of this place on the State Register of Heritage Places.


Background

The Convent of Mercy Group (fmr) was entered in the State Register of Heritage Places on a permanent basis in 2000, with the following Statement of Significance: Convent of Mercy Group (fmr), a two-storeyed rendered-brick and corrugated steel convent and chapel complex in the Federation Gothic style, has cultural heritage significance for the following reasons: • the place represents the role of the Sisters of the Convent of Mercy in both pastoral care

and education in the Australind-Bunbury region of the State from the arrival of Mother Placida and two other nuns in 1883 until the closure of the convent circa 1979;

• the convent and two-storeyed convent chapel are notable representative examples of the Federation Gothic style of architecture typical of religious and educational institutions of the period. The whole complex exhibits excellence of design in the harmony of forms and materials, in the restful and confident proportions, and in the spatial continuity, despite apparent staged development;

• the picturesque quality of the complex is an essential component of the townscape of central Bunbury. The complex forms a well-defined edge to the urban form of the City and is an imposing landmark in the context of the more domestic scaled surrounding streets;

• the convent building was designed by Michael Francis Cavanagh, eminent architect of the period who carried out numerous commissions for the Roman Catholic Church, including St Mary's Roman Catholic Cathedral, Perth. The place is also associated with architect of the school, Frederick Walter Steere and builder of the chapel, Joseph George Hough;

• the place is representative of the role played by the Roman Catholic nuns in the establishment of a community, a role that is no longer practised, but which has provided a substantial legacy to the Catholic community in the State; and

• the place is highly valued by the community as a consequence of its role in the culture and the arts, both in its former religious and teaching role (especially with respect to music) and its more recent role as an arts centre. This is evidenced by the adaptation of the place to an arts complex in the 1980s.

Convent of Mercy Group (fmr) was originally entered into the Register of the National Estate with permanent status on 18 April 1989. This entry was modified on 26 October 1999, as a result of the demolition of St Joseph's in 1982 The Convent of Mercy Group (fmr) is currently included on the following lists: • State Register of Heritage Places • Local Government Heritage Inventory • City of Bunbury Heritage List • National Trust of Australia (WA) At its meeting held 12 June 2020 the Heritage Advisory Committee endorsed the Conservation Management Plan for the Convent of Mercy Group (fmr) and its referral to Council for endorsement. Council Policy Compliance

Bunbury lead by example through the management of these premises in accordance with the Local Planning Strategy and associated heritage policies. Endorsement of the CMP is consistent with this policy position.


Legislative Compliance

The completion of the CMP supports requirements of the Australian International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) Burra Charter; Heritage Act 2018 and the Planning and Development Act 2005. Officer Comments

The CMP, which was prepared in accordance with the Heritage Council of WA’s standard brief, includes: • historical and physical evidence relevant to the assessment of the cultural heritage

significance of the place; • assessment of the place’s cultural heritage significance; • conservation policy recommendations; and • implementation recommendations.

In essence, it is a property management tool that aims to provide the knowledge and framework necessary to conserve (and where appropriate, interpret) the significance of the place and to manage necessary alterations and works over time. Conservation and maintenance schedules assist in the prioritisation and scope of works recommended. After presentation of the draft CMP to the Heritage Advisory Committee for consultation in February 2020, the following changes were tabled and have been incorporated into the final CMP as attached:

Section 2.2.1 Page 10 and 11

Comment on the historical context of Bunbury was submitted in that it should reflect the paper, “The beginning of Bunbury in 1830: Stirling’s failed settlement at Port Leschenault” by Bernhard Bischoff.

Response: Section 2.2.1 has now been rewritten to be more general to avoid the specific issues raised, but still provide the basic context. The historical context of Bunbury should only set the scene and not be a focus of a CMP. It will not affect the heritage listing or management of this building. Mr Bischoff has completed a very interesting research paper that has been reviewed and commended by the HAC in the past.

Section 8.3.2.2 (f) Page 133

Comment on scheduling of Annual Maintenance at pg. 163 and Desirable Works at pg. 161. Not sure when last painted in pink, however, would like to see it included under medium-term works at page 160. May require compromise to reflect use as art gallery as well as heritage values. Note some street art already in place. Response: With regard to the colour of the building, repainting in an alternative colour is an interpretive option. As the building was originally face brick, repainting cannot return the place to a known earlier state and has therefore has not been included as part of the conservation works recommended within a specific timeframe. This has been retained as an optional conservation outcome to be considered by the Council/community (in consultation with the Heritage Council of WA) when a major repainting program is required.

Whole Document Final edit and check for any minor typographical errors.


Analysis of Financial and Budget Implications

Implementation of the recommendations contained within the CMP will have financial implications. It should be noted that the plan contains recommendations and provides a useful property management tool for prioritisation and scheduling of works (resources permitting). Community Consultation This report seeks to consult with community members of the Heritage Advisory Committee. Councillor/Officer Consultation The draft CMP was presented to the HAC for comment. Comments were received from two members and have been incorporated. The draft was also presented to the Development Coordination Unit on 6/2/2020 and both the Director of BRAG and Manager City Facilities. Applicant Consultation Not applicable Timeline: Council Decision Implementation The CMP contains a recommended conservation works schedule and maintenance schedule. These are prioritised as short term (1-2 years); medium term (2-5 years); ongoing and annual inspections. This is standard for asset management of a building.

Section 7B of the Salaries and Allowances Act 1975 requires the Salaries and Allowances Tribunal (the Tribunal) to inquire into and determine the amount of: • fees, or the minimum and maximum amounts of fees, to be paid under the Local

Government Act 1995 to elected Council Members for attendance at meetings; • expenses, or the minimum and maximum amounts of expenses, to be reimbursed under

the Local Government Act 1995 to elected Council Members; and • allowances, or the minimum and maximum amounts of allowances, to be paid under the

Local Government Act 1995 to elected Council Members. Division 8 of Part 5 of the Local Government Act 1995 governs payments to Council Members, specifically: 1. Fees for attending Council and committee meetings (s.5.98); 2. Annual allowances for Mayors (s.5.98); 3. Annual allowances for Deputy Mayors (s.5.98A); 4. Payment of annualised meeting attendance fees in lieu of fee per meeting attended

(s.5.99); and 5. Annual allowances in lieu of reimbursement of expenses (s.5.99A).

These payments are determined and made by the local government and are required to be within the ranges prescribed by the Tribunal. The most recent determination by the Tribunal in this regard is dated 8 April 2020. In this determination, the Tribunal continued to apply the four Band allocation model established in its 2012 determination. The model allows a number of measurable and non-measurable factors to be considered when assessing appropriate levels of remuneration. The Tribunal also notes that the remuneration ranges set for these Bands provide some flexibility to local governments. The Tribunal will only adjust a classification when a local government or regional local government can demonstrate a substantial and sustained increase within the parameters of the band allocation model. The City of Bunbury is classified as a Band 1 local government. Council Policy Compliance Council Policy Elected Member Entitlements outlines the support that is provided to Council Members through the payment of allowances, reimbursement of expenses incurred, insurance cover and supplies provided in accordance with the Local Government Act 1995 while performing the official duties of office. The City’s current policy position relating to these matters is as follows:

• Council to determine the exact quantum of the Mayoral allowance each year within the applicable band range as determined by the Tribunal;

• the Deputy Mayor to be paid 25% of the adopted Mayoral Allowance; • Council to determine the exact quantum of Meeting Attendance Fees for the Mayor and

Councillors each year within the applicable band range as determined by the Tribunal; and • The Mayor and Councillors to be paid the maximum Communications and Information

Technology Allowance each year as determined by the Tribunal.


Legislative Compliance Section 5.98 of the Local Government Act 1995 governs meeting attendance fees for Council Members and annual allowances for Mayors and Presidents. Section 5.98A of the Local Government Act 1995 governs annual allowances for Deputy Mayors and Presidents. Section 5.99 of the Local Government Act 1995 enables a local government to pay Council Members an annual fee for attending Council and Committee meetings instead of paying a fee per meeting attended. Section 5.99A of the Local Government Act 1995 governs the payment of an allowance for Council Members in lieu of reimbursement of expenses. Section 5.63(1)(c) of the Local Government Act 1995 exempts Council Members from having to disclose a financial interest in matters relating to a fee, reimbursement of an expense or an allowance to which section 5.98, 5.98A, 5.99, or 5.99A refer. Officer Comments Meeting Attendance Fees Pursuant to section 5.98(1)(b) of the Local Government Act 1995, an Elected Member who attends a council meeting is entitled to be paid the fee set by the local government within the range determined by the Tribunal for council meeting attendance fees. Pursuant to section 5.98(1)(b) and (2A)(b) of the Local Government Act 1995, an Elected Member who attends a committee meeting or (at the request of the local government) a meeting of a type prescribed in regulation 30(3A) of the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 is entitled to be paid the fee set by the local government within the range determined by the Tribunal for attending committee meetings or, as the case requires, meetings of that type. Pursuant to section 5.99 of the Local Government Act 1995, a local government may decide by an absolute majority that instead of paying its Council Members an attendance fee referred to in section 5.98(1) of that Act, it will pay all Council Members who attend council or committee meetings a fee set within the range for annual fees determined by the Tribunal. The City of Bunbury has historically utilised the annualised payment methodology for meeting attendance fees as permitted by section 5.99 of the Local Government Act 1995, primarily because the administrative cost to process such payments is negligible, as opposed to processing individual payments for each Council, committee and prescribed meeting, which would require an administrative overhead. It is therefore suggested that the annualised methodology continue. The range determined by the Tribunal for this purpose for a Band 1 local government is as follows: Table 1: Annual attendance fees in lieu of council meeting, committee meeting and prescribed meeting attendance fees

Band 1 Minimum Maximum Councillors $24,604 $31,678

Mayor $24,604 $47,516


In 2019/20, Councillors received a meeting attendance fee of $25,000, and the Mayor received a meeting attendance fee of $30,000. Annual Allowance for Mayor and Deputy Mayor Pursuant to section 5.98(5) of the Local Government Act 1995, the Mayor is entitled, in addition to any fees or reimbursement of expenses payable under section 5.98(1) or (2), to be paid the annual allowance set by the local government within the range determined by the Tribunal. The range determined by the Tribunal for this purpose for a Band 1 local government is as follows: Table 2: Annual allowance for a mayor or president of a local government

Band 1 Minimum Maximum Mayor $51,258 $89,753

Pursuant to section 5.98A(1) of the Local Government Act 1995, a local government may decide, by an absolute majority, to pay the Deputy Mayor an allowance of up to the percentage that is determined by the Tribunal of the annual allowance to which the Mayor is entitled under section 5.98(5) of that Act. This allowance is in addition to any fees or reimbursement of expenses payable to the Deputy Mayor under section 5.98 of the Local Government Act 1995. In its most recent determination the Tribunal has determined that this percentage is 25%. In 2019/20, the Mayor received an annual allowance of $61,000, and the Deputy Mayor received an annual allowance of 25% of the Mayoral Allowance, being $15,250. Information and Communication Technology Allowance Pursuant to section 5.98(2) of the Local Government Act 1995, an Elected Member who incurs an expense of a kind prescribed in regulation 31(1) of the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 is entitled to be reimbursed for the expense to the extent determined by the Tribunal Pursuant to section 5.99A of the Local Government Act 1995, a local government may decide by absolute majority that instead of reimbursing Council Members under section 5.98(2) for all of a particular type of expense, it will pay all Council Members, for that type of expense, an amount that is within the range determined by the Tribunal for that purpose. The City of Bunbury has traditionally paid Council Members an annual allowance for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) expenses in lieu of processing reimbursements for such expenses. As with meeting attendance fees, the administrative cost to process an annual payment is negligible, whereas processing individual payments for each claim would require an administrative overhead. It is therefore suggested that the annualised methodology continue. The range determined by the Tribunal for an annualised ICT allowance is as follows: Table 3: Annual ICT Allowance

Minimum Maximum Council Members $500 $3,500

In 2019/20, Council Members were paid the maximum annual ICT allowance of $3,500. Analysis of Financial and Budget Implications


The relevant ranges for each payment have been detailed within the Officers Comments. As the Tribunal provides ranges in this regard as opposed to prescribed amounts, the exact financial implication will obviously depend on the exact value determined. The minimum financial implication to the City of Bunbury (based on the minimum range being determined across all areas) is $377,610. The maximum financial implication to the City of Bunbury (based on the maximum range being determined across all areas) is $585,343.

10.3.2 2020/21 Increase in Property Rates and Fees and Charges

☒ Executive/Strategic ☒ Legislative


Attachments: Appendix DSOP-1: 2020/21 Draft Fees and Charges Summary The purpose of this report is for Council to establish the increase in property rates and the increase in fees and charges for the 2020/21 financial year. These will form part of the annual budget which is expected to be adopted by Council on 28 July 2020. However, the adoption of this report will provide earlier public notice. The proposed zero percent increase in both property rates and current fees and charges is in accordance with the City’s response to COVID-19 adopted by Council on 31 March 2020 (Council Decision 067/20). Executive Recommendation That Council:

1. Request the CEO prepare the 2020/21 City of Bunbury budget based on a zero percent increase in property rates.

2. Adopts the Schedule of Fees and Charges (which forms part of the 2020/21 Budget) effective 29 July 2020 as presented.

3. Requests the Chief Executive Officer advertise the 2020/21 Fees and Charges in accordance with Section 6.19 of the Local Government Act 1995.

Voting Requirements: Absolute Majority required for item 2 Strategic Relevance Theme 4: Our City Goal: Civic Leadership, partnerships and sound governance in delivering with and

for the community. Objective 4.4 A skilled organisation, which exercises responsible asset stewardship,

sound financial management, and exemplary customer service. Regional Impact Statement The 2020/21 Fees and Charges do not have a direct impact on the Bunbury Geographe Region. However, many of Bunbury’s facilities and services are used by communities and individuals outside of Bunbury.


Background The Fees and Charges are reviewed and adopted annually by Council. Due to the COVID-19 situation, Council approved on the 31 March 2020 (Council Decision 067/20) that the City prepare the 2020/21 budget on the basis on a zero percent increase in rates and fees and charges for the 2020/21 budget. Council Policy Compliance Not applicable. Legislative Compliance Section 6.19 requires that Council gives public notice of its intention to impose any new fees and charges if this is not considered at the time of adopting the annual budget. Council is also required to advise the date which the proposed fees and charges will be imposed. Officer Comments The proposed zero percent increase in rates has been used as the basis for developing the draft 2020/21 Annual Budget. The Budget will be presented to a Special Council Meeting on Tuesday, 28 July 2020 for adoption. The current fees and charges have been reviewed by officers. This has resulted in some minor changes to the schedule of fees including removal, increases to regulatory fees and several new fees. As directed by Council, there has been a zero percent increase to the City’s current fees and charges. The City however has no control over increases in regulatory fees imposed by the other authorities. The fees and charges will be effective from 29 July 2020 which is the day after adoption of the annual budget. By adopting these now will allow more time for the public to be advised of the fees and charges for 2020/21. Analysis of Financial and Budget Implications There is a loss of revenue to the City’s budget by not imposing any increase in either property rates or fees and charges in 2020/21. However, these actions support our community in this time of need due to COVID-19. The draft 2020/21 Budget addresses the freeze on increases in property rates and fees and charges. Community Consultation

Community consultation will take place with advertising in the local newspaper and copies of the proposed fees and charges available from the City’s website, libraries and Customer Service Centre. Elected Member/Officer Consultation

This matter is presented to Council for determination.

Attachments: Appendix DI-1: Bunbury Geographe Airport Masterplan Summary The City of Bunbury has engaged a consultant to prepare a new Master Plan to guide the orderly and well planned development of Bunbury Airport during the period 2020-2040. Executive Recommendation That Council endorse the Bunbury Geographe Airport Master Plan 2020-2040 as presented. Voting Requirement: Simple Majority Strategic Relevance Theme 2 Our economy Goal A thriving and dynamic economy, that plays to its strengths, and

confidently presents to the world. Objective 2.2 Bunbury is known far and wide for its strengths as a place to live, visit and

do business. Theme 4 Our City Goal Civic leadership, partnerships and sound governance in delivering with and


sound financial management, and exemplary service. Regional Impact Statement The purpose of the Master Plan is to establish the role of Bunbury Airport and guide its planning, development and operation to cater for the projected population growth of Greater Bunbury. The Master Plan seeks to ensure the role of Bunbury Airport remains complementary to Busselton-Margaret River Airport. Background The Bunbury Airport Master Plan 2010-2015 (Lowes Churchill, 2010) contained 21 recommendations which were principally intended to address existing issues being experienced at


the time. The Master Plan, and the actions which followed, was successful in providing the airport with a clear direction, and this has resulted in the airport experiencing a sustained period of growth. Both the Southwest Regional Blueprint (SWDC et al, 2014) and the Bunbury Geographe Regional Growth Plan (Growth Plan Partnership, 2016) support an aspirational population for Bunbury Geographe of 300,000 people by 2050. In preparing the Bunbury Geographe Master Plan 2020-2040, the consultant reviewed the recommendations of the previous Master Plan, consulted with key stakeholders, and provides a number of recommendations designed to permit the continued growth of the facility. Calibre Professional Services were initially engaged to prepare the Master Plan and undertook the initial stakeholder consultation. In November 2018, Calibre closed its planning branch in Western Australia. The City subsequently engaged Across Planning to complete preparation of the Master Plan, and thanks Calibre for agreeing to release their completed work. Council Policy Compliance Council Policy Asset Management states the City needs to develop an Asset Management Plan for all classes of infrastructure assets. Legislative Compliance Regulation 19DA of the Local Government (Administration) Regulations states that a corporate business plan is to develop and integrate matters relating to resources, including asset management, workforce planning and long-term financial planning. Officer Comments The Bunbury Airport Master Plan 2010-2015 provided clear direction for the airport’s development, which has stimulated substantial private investment in new facilities and created a positive impression amongst the aviation community. The new Master Plan outlines an optimistic but achievable future for Bunbury Geographe Airport which should continue the facility’s recent successes. Analysis of Financial and Budget Implications PR-3697 Prepare Airport Master Plan was jointly funded by the City of Bunbury and the Department of Transport (via a RADS grant). Community Consultation Calibre Professional Services undertook extensive consultation with the key airport stakeholders and relevant Government and industry organisations prior to preparation of the Master Plan. The parties consulted with are listed on page 6 of the Master Plan. The same key airport stakeholders and relevant Government and industry organisations were provided copies of the ‘draft for comment’ document in November 2019 to ensure their comments and ideas were accurately reflected.


Councillor/Officer Consultation During preparation of the Master Plan, Across Planning met regularly with the Director Infrastructure, Director Sustainable Communities and the Senior Airport Reporting Officer. Across Planning provided a briefing to the Mayor, Elected Members and senior staff on Tuesday 10 December 2019. Applicant Consultation Not applicable Timeline: Council Decision Implementation A Development Plan (PR-4797) will be prepared which will document, prioritize and allocate costs to the recommendations identified in the Master Plan. The Development Plan will be jointly funded by the City of Bunbury and the Department of Transport (via a RADS grant) and will be submitted to Council for adoption following preparation. The RADS grant funding agreement requires completion of the Development Plan by the 10th May 2021.


10.5.2 Quote – Electricity and Gas Supply

☐ Executive/Strategic ☒ Legislative


Attachments: Confidential Appendix CRUSC-1: Evaluation Report – RFQ1920/052 Summary Quotes for the Supply of contestable electricity (12 sites) and gas for the South West Sports Centre have been received and Council is requested to appoint the preferred respondent as the supplier. Executive Recommendation That Council:

1. Endorse the recommended supplier for Supply Electricity and Gas as identified within Confidential Appendix CRUSC-1.

2. Authorise the Chief Executive Officer to enter into a contract with the recommended supplier for the supply of Electricity and Gas.

Voting Requirement: Simple Majority Strategic Relevance Theme 4 Our City Goal Civic leadership, partnerships and sound governance in delivering with and


sound financial management, and exemplary customer service. Regional Impact Statement Not applicable Background

The City has a number of contestable electricity sites (12) and gas supply for the South West Sports centre that required procurement to maintain service provision. These contracts concluded on 30 June 2020. The request for quotation was issued through the WALGA preferred supplier program – Energy Services Contract. The following respondents provided a submission for consideration; Perth Energy Pty Ltd (conforming) 221 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000 Perth Energy Pty Ltd (alternate) 221 St Georges Terrace, Perth WA 6000 Alinta Sales Pty Ltd 300 Murray Street, Perth WA 6000 Synergy 228 Adelaide Terrace, Perth WA 6000


The quotations were evaluated using the following criteria: Compliance Criteria – Yes / No answers Qualitative Criteria weighting 1. 20% Contractual Risk 2. 80% Price Information – Part A, Part B and Part C Evaluation of the quoted prices (and ranking) has been assessed but because the results are "commercial in confidence" details are listed in a Confidential Report that has been circulated to members under separate cover. Council Policy Compliance Procurement for goods and services is conducted in accordance with: - Purchasing Council Policy - Access and Inclusion Policy Legislative Compliance Advertising and processing of quotations was conducted in accordance with: - Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996, Part 4 Tender for Providing Goods

or Services - Local Government Act 1995

The cost of this procurement exceeds the Chief Executive Officer’s level of authority, therefore it has been dealt with in accordance with Local Government (Functions and General) Regulations 1996 (Part 4 - Tenders for Providing Goods or Services). Officer Comments The City has over time refined the procurement process to ensure that there are favourable contractual conditions for the supply of energy for contestable electricity sites and gas. This procurement continues the low risk approach to securing the energy contracts. This was highlighted during the recent Covid-19 crisis when usage levels dropped across facilities. If the City had standard contract clauses for energy supply, the City would have incurred additional expense in shortfall payments for usage. Favourable contract terms have negated this from occurring. If the City carries out any energy savings initiatives over the next two year period across any of the sites that reduce the consumption, there will be no payment penalties for under usage. The contestable electricity sites are as follows; 1. Visitors Centre 2. Bunbury Regional Entertainment Centre 3. Hay Park Multi Sports Pavilion 4. Bunbury Regional Art Gallery


5. South West Sports Centre 6. Main Administration Building 7. Koombana Foreshore 8. Bunbury Regional Airport 9. Bunbury Wildlife Park 10. Hay Park bores (water) 11. City Library 12. Operations Depot (Picton) Analysis of Financial and Budget Implications The expenditure for the contestable electricity sites (12) and the gas for the South West Sports Centre come from various baseline operational recurring expenditure items. The amount of expenditure varies depending on usage patterns and seasonal changes. Based on the current usage patterns and as identified in the quotation evaluation report expenditure is as follows per annum excluding GST; Contestable Electricity (12 sites) $710, 693 per annum Gas – South West Sports Centre $160, 136 per annum This will represent an annual saving of approximately $60,000 per annum on electrical costs (based on the same usage as in 2019/20 financial year) while the gas price is equivalent to the current charges. However with the new pool blankets there has been a $37,000 reduction in gas usage at the SWSC. Community Consultation N/A Councillor/Officer Consultation N/A Applicant Consultation N/A Timeline: Council Decision Implementation Expected that the contract will commence on 13 July 2020.
