COMMUNITY FORUM
363 CENTENARY OF ANZACS
Mr Don Tait OAM spoke briefly on two matters:
The first being the Centenary of Anzacs which was a huge success! Mr Tait OAM said he
will never forget standing on the podium and looking down over those playing fields at the Centenary of Anzac Reserve and seeing 30,000 people looking back at him.
Mr Tait OAM said it was a very fitting occasion for us to remember those World War 1
Veterans that went from the Hills to represent our Community. Mr Tait OAM wanted to
thank Council for the assistance in providing suitable venues and the other support given
to the events for the Centenary. He said the support was crucial to the Centenary week
success and that it was very much appreciated by the Centenary of Anzac Hills Community Committee and the Hills Shire Community.
Mr Tait OAM singled out Councillors Dr Byrne Adjunct Professor and Dr Lowe who served
on the Committee for special thanks.
Mr Tait OAM also thanked the Councillors for their support and paid tribute to Council
Staff in particular The General Manager -David Walker, The Group Manager - John Dean,
Manager Community & Economic Development - Lori Modde, Senior Events Officer - Tara
Farr and Ward Manager – West Ward - Adrian Davis whose support and advice was
invaluable throughout the planning and the conduct of the Centenary Anzacs in the Hills.
The second matter Mr Tait OAM addressed was the performance of the 1812 Overture
that was scheduled to be held on 20 April, 2015 but had to be cancelled due to bad
weather. He expressed a desire to re schedule this performance at an appropriate time in the future.
Mr Tait OAM proposed that, together with Council’s support and continued assistance,
the performance of the 1812 Overture be held at Bella Vista Farm Park using the
permanent stage on Saturday the 14th of November 2015 and that it be linked to
Remembrance Day which is commemorated three (3) days earlier. Mr Tait OAM added
that The Youth Orchestra and the 1812 Centenary Coordinator are on board and the
Centenary of Hills Community Committee has given Council a cheque for $12,000 to
assist with the cost. Mr Tait OAM requested Council’s support and approval for the 1812 Overture performance being held on 14th November 2015.
In concluding, Mr Tait OAM again thanked Council for the support given to the Centenary
Week from 18th to 25th of April 2015 because without that support, he said, the Centenary commemoration event would not have been so successful.

364 CHANGES IN NORTH KELLYVILLE ZONING
Mr Joel Gray of North Kellyville advised that he had spoken previously at Community
Forum about a property at 11 Hezlett Road, Kellyville and thanked Council officers who confirmed that the property was Classified as R1 with the documentation sent to him.
Mr Gray asked two questions:
Given the R1 zoning of that property, retail facilities and business premises are
prohibited within that area. There are 16 neighbourhood shops, how are these going to be filled if these two items are prohibited in this area?
The Neighbourhood Shop definition states that convenience goods, such as food stuffs,
personal care products, newspapers and the like or ancillary services such as a post
office, bank or dry cleaner are permissible in this zoning. Given that there are 16 shops, what would the remaining shops consist of?
The Group Manager Environment & Planning replied that he did not know the specifics of
that development but often a development of mixed use nature will require further
development applications for individual uses and they will be required to comply with the zoning of the land.
Mr Gray advised that the Development Application submitted to Council for this property
indicates that there are 5 levels. It appears that the premises include a roof top terrace
and a basement level that exceeds 3 metres above the natural ground level. Would
these two levels not be added to the 5 levels and be counted as a 7 level development?
The Mayor requested Mr Gray to clarify the question.
Mr Gray advised that the Development Application submitted was for 5 Storeys with one
level being retail and the other four levels being residential. There was a roof top terrace
which was not presented as a 6 storey development and there is also a basement which
he believes should not exceed 1 metre above the ground floor level to be classed as a
basement.
The Group Manager Environment & Planning replied that the roof top terrace would not
be counted as a storey. In some of our DCPs if a basement is more than a metre above natural ground it can be counted as a storey.
Mr Gray asked even though you can stand on a Terrace’s roof, does that not count it as a storey?
The Group Manager Environment & Planning replied that was correct, it does not count
as a storey. There are also height limits that we would have reviewed in respect to any development so that is a further consideration as well as the number of storeys.
Mr Gray was asked if his concern was about the actual height or of how many storeys.
Mr Gray advised that he had conducted research of the area, and looked at the North
Kellyville Precinct Plan which indicated a maximum of 4 storeys was permissible in the
area. He felt that what was proposed, including the rooftop terrace, would encroach on
privacy issues with people in the area.
MINUTES of the duly convened Ordinary Meeting of The Hills Shire Council held
in the Council Chambers on 28 July 2015
The is Page 7 of the Minutes of the Ordinary Meeting of The Hills Shire Council
held on 28 July 2015
The Group Manager Environment & Planning commented that in respect of any
development application, Council needs to look at the Controls and the controls in either
the State Environmental Planning Policy or LEPs which set height limits. Council’s
Development Control Plans have often nominated numbers of storeys. Council has
assessed developments on their merit against those controls, but with respect to
whether someone is standing on a roof top constitutes another storey, no it doesn’t.
Does it add to the height as considered under the LEP? No it doesn’t. Merit issues such as these are considered in the assessment of any development application.
In response to Mr Gray’s question that if the roofing floor area is used in the assessment
for communal open space, doesn’t it count as a floor?, the Group Manager Environment
& Planning stated that generally a floor is something with a floor and a ceiling above it. That constitutes a floor of a building. A roof top terrace does not.
