DISCUSSION:

- The Planning Consultant advised that Council is only dealing with representation two (2) and three (3) as representation one (1) has been withdrawn as a result of an email which had been received from the representor.

course of the creek. - The General Manager advised that this was done by previous owners, not sure how long

ago it was done. - Clr Rubenach-Quinn stated she was concerned about the removal of the covenant and

referred to a tribunal decision in August 2012 which ordered the Council to refuse the amendment.

- Clr Wright questioned access from the Highway – other properties have petitioned for access from the highway and have been denied.

- Mayor Tucker advised that Council can only deal with the item in front of us.

- Clr McGuinness asked what sort of service do they get? - Clr Rubenach-Quinn stated that it is a great idea to bring to our community at no cost and

it could reduce our landfill.

02/17.8.2 Notice of Motion – Request to Take Over Lease on Jetty – Clr M Tucker

MOTION: 1. That Council rescind its motion 12/16.14.4 refusing the request to take over the lease of Jetty

020815 from the existing lessee and enter into a new lease arrangement with Crown Land Services for this jetty located between Beauty Bay and Kirwans Beach once all repairs works have been undertaken in accordance with the instructions provided by Crown Land Services to the current lessee.

Page 21: COUNCIL MINUTES Monday 20 February 2017 - bodc.tas.gov.au · Planning Coordinator, Paula Kloosterman (Item 6.0 – 6.2) Planning Officer, Chris Triebe (Item 6.0 – 6.2) Planning

| 02/17.8.2 Notice of Motion – Request to Take Over Lease on Jetty – Clr M Tucker 21

2. That Council take over the lease of Jetty 020815 from the existing lessee and enter into a new lease arrangement with Crown Land Services for this jetty located between Beauty Bay and Kirwans Beach once all repairs works have been undertaken in accordance with the instructions provided by Crown Land Services to the current lessee.

SUBMISSION IN SUPPORT OF MOTION: As previously advised when this item was originally put to Council in December 2016, Council has been contacted by Crown Land Services asking whether Council was interested in taking the lease of this Jetty as the current lessee is not interested in renewing their lease arrangement with Crown Land Services. The current lessee of this jetty (Lord), no longer wishes to lease the jetty from Crown Land Services. Crown Land Services are asking whether Council would like to take over the lease of this jetty on behalf of the community. Substantial works are currently being undertaken by the current lessee after Crown Land Services advised “this letter is to direct you to repair the jetty so that it is structurally sound, or provide an engineer’s report certifying that it is already structurally sound.” Council has been advised by the current lessee:

1. They have put new piles in, bearers and are working to finish the decking replacement, about 12 boards right out at the end left to go plus fixing down with bugle head screws.

2. They have materials for cross bracing but are waiting for the water to warm up and will then install.

DISCUSSION:

- Mayor Tucker stated that we did not have the full story before us when this item was discussed by Council. Conditions have been put on the current lessee and they have now been met. Mayor Tucker stated that he would hate to see the Council lose a piece of infrastructure.

- Clr Osborne advised that she supported the motion. - Clr Drummond advised that she would like a structural engineer’s report. - Clr Wright stated that it would require handrails and barriers. - Clr LeFevre stated that we do not need a structural engineer’s report. - Clr Wright asked whether we could use our own staff to do works. - Clr LeFevre stated that the jetty is in good condition and that he doesn’t believe that we

need to waste money. - Clr McGuinness stated that we are about to lose Moulting Bay jetty which is similar to this

jetty. Jetties are an asset to our community, this jetty is a replacement of Moulting Bay jetty.

- Clr McGiveron stated that it is hard to get a permit to replace jetties. If the lease is cancelled then the jetty would be removed.

- Clr Drummond stated that the current lessee of the jetty should provide a structural engineers report.

- Clr Osborne stated that the lessee has been asked to do what was required and is MAST compliant.

| 02/17.8.2 Notice of Motion – Request to Take Over Lease on Jetty – Clr M Tucker 22

- Clr Rubenach-Quinn asked for a point of clarification - is this the jetty that would require an extension to make it usable; what is the cost of the extension; is the jetty really needed; how much use does it get; what would be the annual depreciation; we should seek a report first and foreshadowed an amendment to the motion

- Clr McGuinness spoke against the amendment – this is not a fishing jetty it is more a photographic point and he does not believe that we need to extend same.

- Clr Wright spoke for the amendment – we need an in house officers report, and does not believe that we should spend money.

- Mayor Tucker stated that he is against the amendment, it is not relevant for what we are dealing with, we are dealing with the jetty as it is. Grant funding may become available and it has been bought up to Crown Lands standards.

COUNCIL DECISION: 02/17.8.2.23 Moved: Clr M Tucker/ Seconded: Clr M Osborne 1. That Council rescind its motion 12/16.14.4 refusing the request to take over the lease of Jetty

St Helens and Districts Chamber of Commerce and Tourism – Mayor Mick Tucker/Clr Barry LeFevre

- Report from January meeting. - The main discussion points were;

o The Tobruk- disappointment expressed regarding losing the bid. It was felt that the State Government could have been more supportive. Further bids are likely in the future.

Council was acknowledged for their continual support. o Considerable discussion about promotional material for our area and the associated

costs, outlets and who should be promoted ie members vs non-members. There will be the potential for businesses to purchase new advertising in the next run of pamphlets.

o Questions were raised regarding the Binalong Bay Foreshore Master Plan. Is it a draft only with little action or will it be enacted, become policy and acted on? Barry LeFevre and Glenn McGuinness offered to meet with the General Manager on Chamber’s behalf to clarify the situation, including the possible provision of snack food near the wharf area, after numerous requests from tourists.

o The question was asked 'why can't agencies get together in the one room and work through issues co-operatively'. This was widely supported by the group.

o Chamber was appreciative of Craig Lockwood's presentation at the last meeting and very sympathetic to the plight of the Oyster Growers at the time of the meeting.

NRM Special Committee – Clr Margaret Osborne No meeting held

Barway Committee – Clr John McGiveron

- No change - meeting scheduled for the 22 March 2017. - Currently there are three (3) channels. - MAST at the next meeting will advise which channel will have remedial work undertaken

on it.

Regional Tourism Organisation (RTO) – Clr Glenn McGuinness - RTO is a constituted Board – he is a board member and unable to report on everything

which has happened at the Board level. - Facebook page RTO has reached 90,000 people in seven (7) days. Australia, UK and USA are

the top countries. - Bay of Fires is ahead of Freycinet. - Review done of the Tourism Awards – strong preference to continue the Gala Awards

event. - Chinese signage will not be occuring. - Disappointed by lack of engagement with our community in relation to the Destination

Action Plan after the launch. It was suggested that somebody may need to run with this Plan as the Plan needs to be taken forward and there are strong recommendations within the document.

Titley Shack & Binalong Bay Reference Group – Clr Glenn McGuinness No report – no meeting.

Mental Health Action Group – Clr Barry LeFevre - Mental Health Action Group meeting was held on the 17 February 2017. - Trish O'Duffy was acknowledged for her community work and winning the recent Australia

Day Award. - It was acknowledged that given we are a non-funded volunteer group we had an

outstanding year providing many tangible opportunities for our community. - Discussion took place regarding a comprehensive planning meeting in the near future to

map our plans and direction for 2017. This may be late afternoon to enable greater participation.

- Feedback was obtained from the recent Coroner's Office visit. Whilst the group found the session informative further discussion around future initiatives/plans would have been beneficial.

o We will re-contact the Health Department who were going to supply speakers but unfortunately didn't.

- There was a lengthy discussion about the provision of PHT funding. What will happen to our services, where will the gaps be if funding is reduced and what action should be taken to make sure our concerns are heard?

| 02/17.16.1 General Manager’s Report 41

- Strategic plan process was progressing through the process to engage a Consultant, community engagement will commence late March and Council workshops will start around the same time.

- Clr Drummond asked in relation to the RFDS and the PHT funding. o The General Manager advised that there is a meeting on the 10 March, and that the

Hub4Health have been advised of the funding amounts, however changes may need to be made in relation to the reduced funding as the Hub4health have high administration costs compared to others.

o Clr Drummond stated that they have cut the administration costs by 35% this places the Hub4health in a difficult situation. Clr Drummond advised that there is transitional funding currently in place until end of March therefore they are unable to do budgeting as they are unsure of the funding.

o The General Manager advised that he is unable to defend PHT, there are other departments involved as well which is causing delays.

o Clr Osborne stated that three (3) years ago they were told there will be a change to the funding regime.

o The General Manager advised that the Hub4Health have been advised of the funding for the next 18 months – 6 months – then 12 months.

o Clr Drummond stated that the mental health funding was meant to be announced last week and they have heard nothing from PHT. Hub4Health don’t know if they can continue to provide these services.

o Clr LeFevre stated that he agrees with Clr Drummond around the uncertainty of services being provided. As Chair of the mental health action group he is being asked what is happening in relation to services.

o Clr Drummond stated that as a community we look to be losing quite heavily in relation to services – providing local services by local people.

o Clr Osborne asked who at the RFDS is Council dealing with? o The General Manager advised they are dealing with John Kirwan and Nicole Grose

and he advised of funding and direction that we are taking, they are more than happy to talk to Council – to look at where health delivery services are going.

o Clr Osborne asked are the RFDS talking to local people who are delivering the services on the ground.

o The General Manager stated that John Kirwan has said that he is more than happy to talk to Council and talk to Hub4Health Board about health services. The Federal Government were not going to fund the same services, the focus was shifted, organisations that did not look at a different model were not funded. They worked towards a model to benefit the whole community, we need to look at funding to meet community needs, funding programs change and need to move with the times and the best possible services from the community.

o Clr LeFevre stated that some services on paper through the data would be taken away, therefore they did not support the services that were visiting.

o Clr Drummond stated that Diabetes funding has been given to Diabetes Tasmania and the educator and dietician will be serviced from Hobart.

o The General Manager stated that there is opportunity for Hub4Health to talk to the provider about how they can work together.

o Clr McGuinness stated that John Kirwan has indicated that he would be happy to talk to Councillors – we should have a meeting.

o Clr J Tucker stated that some people can come and talk to us and all organisations should be invited to attend.

on, we will try and arrange a meeting for the 10 March when he is down here, PHT will be down here as well.

o Clr Drummond stated that it would be very positive to have a meeting, it would also be very positive for them to be invited to speak with the Hub4Health Board.

OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION: That the Break O’Day Council respond to the TasWater PSP3 Consultation Issues Paper advising as follows: 1. The Council broadly supports the priorities and directions outlined in the Paper. 2. There is no strategy to address stormwater infiltration issues which can be substantially

affecting the capacity of the sewage network to cope. 3. That TasWater must provide the highest priority to sewage scheme upgrade works where the

failure of infrastructure can result in a significant economic loss to a local industry, e.g. the oyster industry in Georges Bay at St Helens.

4. Construction standards should be reviewed to address the concerns which have been

expressed regarding the complexity of the designs which are being proposed or implemented. 5. Service standard monitoring needs to be expanded to include response times to Councils and

developers seeking permission from TasWater to undertake works.

DISCUSSION:

- Mayor Tucker stated that everyone is watching and reading the newspaper and watching the news, the Treasurer will be making a statement this afternoon. Mayor Tucker’s personal belief is that the Government will try to take TasWater over as Government business, and this will result in the loss of the dividend that we receive from Taswater.

- The General Manager stated that Local Government has agreed to a reduction of dividends resulting in a reduction of, $200,000 starting in 2018-19, if the State Government take it over we will lose over $500,000 which will result in reduced cash flow to maintain our services, this will affect the community.

- The General Manager stated that the consultation paper underpins what Taswater need to fix our issues. The Minister is demanding that everything should happen now in relation to fixing the delivery of services – Council has discussed this and this is our response to the consultation paper.

COUNCIL DECISION: 02/17.16.3.45 Moved: Clr J Drummond / Seconded: Clr B Le Fevre That the Break O’Day Council respond to the TasWater PSP3 Consultation Issues Paper advising as follows: 1. The Council broadly supports the priorities and directions outlined in the Paper.

02/17.16.4 Redistribution of Legislative Council Electoral Boundaries

FILE REFERENCE 015\005\002\

OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION: That the Council advise the Legislative Council Electoral Redistribution Tribunal that it rejects the proposed boundary redistribution on the following basis: 1. That it has been presented as a fait accompli with no other options canvassed or presented

for consideration. 2. It has failed to take into account the community of interest which exists along the length of

the East Coast and between the communities of the East Coast. 3. It has also failed to consider a broader redistribution involving the Launceston based

electorates which could bring the George Town area into Apsley. That Council express its disappointment that the opportunity to access the complex mapping software to examine options for redistribution was effectively only available in Hobart except for a few hours in the north. This is despite the statements on availability in the proposal paper which was provided. INTRODUCTION: Late November 2016 Council became aware of an advertisement which was circulated in the three (3) daily newspapers in Tasmanian advertising the 2016/2017 Legislative Council Boundary Redistribution. On the 28 January 2017 the Redistribution Proposal was advertised for public comment inviting persons and/or organisations to make, comment, suggestion or objection in relation to the Initial Redistribution Proposal by close of business on the 25 February 2017. DISCUSSION:

- The General Manager Noted that no other options have been canvassed within the Discussion Paper. The opportunity to look at modelling has been offered to be provided at Campbell Town this Wednesday (Launceston Cup Day) and seemed to be a token effort.

- The General Manager also stated that he understands that NTD have provided a submission more broadly around Launceston but including some issues around McIntyre, we can present at the hearing as we have provided a submission.

for consideration. 2. It has failed to take into account the community of interest which exists along the length of

the East Coast and between the communities of the East Coast. 3. It has also failed to consider a broader redistribution involving the Launceston based

electorates which could bring the George Town area into Apsley. That Council express its disappointment that the opportunity to access the complex mapping software to examine options for redistribution was effectively only available in Hobart except for a few hours in the north. This is despite the statements on availability in the proposal paper which was provided. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY Clr Drummond returned to the meeting at 11.59am
