Agenda - 3 - Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 February 2004 WORKS REPORTS 1. RECONSTRUCTION OF GREGORY STREET (LIVINGSTONE TO

HOSPITAL) (ATTACHMENT)

Further to previous discussions the matter of obtaining a financial contribution from Queensland Health towards completion of the reconstruction inside Bowen Hospital was referred to the zone manager Queensland Health for consideration. Verbal advice has been received from the District Manage, Mr. Rowland Bloxsom that the matter has been redirected to him for further consideration. As has been previously advised Mr. Bloxsom has advised that no funding is available to put to the required purpose. He has indicated that he can agree to the logic of doing the works in conjunction, however, cannot indicate when matching funding may be available. Mr. Bloxsom has indicated that some capital works are proposed for 2003-4 and should such works be completed under budget that he would consider committing these excess funds to the road reconstruction. Given the above, Council is requested to consider the possible options in the proposed works without the matching funding to complete the required construction within Hospital property. For Council’s consideration.

Agenda - 5 - Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 February 2004 2. REQUEST FOR SIGNAGE INSTALLATION – PINK LILY STATION

(ATTACHMENT)

As per the attached correspondence a request has been received from a property owner for the installation of a property name sign to be installed at the junction of the Bruce Highway and Pink Lily Road. In past instances similar to this Council has advised the property owner that Council does not normally pay for installation of such signage, however, that it would not object to the installation of a suitable fingerboard sign on existing signposts at the applicants cost. RECOMMENDATION: That Council advise F.S. and W.P. Holmes that Council would not object to the erection of a property name sign at the intersection of the Bruce Highway and Pink Lily Road however that such signage shall be to Council’s requirements and that all costs be borne by the applicant.

Attachment - Request for Signage Installation - Pink Lily Station

Agenda - 7 - Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 February 2004 3. BIKELANE MARKINGS – ARGYLE PARK ROAD (ATTACHED)

Further to issues raised at the recent Council meeting please note that pavement markings currently installed are in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices. An extract of the MUTCD is attached. Any additional markings installed would not be in accordance with the MUTCD and, as such, would result in Council taking liability for such an installation. It is suggested that additional bicycle pavement symbols could be installed to further indicate the areas use as a bicycle lane and that the area be remarked to highlight its usage. It is recommended that no additional “alternative” markings be installed. RECOMMENDATION: That in regard to concerns regarding the bicycle lane pavement markings in Argyle Park Road that Council approve the installation of additional bicycle pavement symbols be installed and that remarking of existing markings be installed.

Attachment - Bikelane Markings - Argyle Park Road

Agenda - 15 - Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 February 2004 4. RACQ RED SPOT SURVEY 2004 (ATTACHMENT)

Correspondence has been received from RACQ regarding the survey which indicates locations where delays were considered frustrating. Those areas of concern highlighted were Herbert/Powell and Soldiers/Tollington/Queens intersections. Details of the document submitted are attached.

Given that these areas have previously been highlighted by Council and have been the subject of grant submissions it is suggested that Council respond to RACQ indicating our actions to date. RECOMMENDATION: That Council advise RACQ at its attempts to gain grant funding for roundabout construction at the Soldiers/Tollington/Queens and Herbert Powell intersections.

RACQ Red Spot Survey 2004

Agenda - 21 - Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 February 2004 5. PROPOSED RESEAL PROGRAM (ATTACHMENT)

Further to previous discussions with regards to options for the Roads to Recovery programme a request was made to provide details on required reseals. Attached is a list of existing sealed areas indicating the age of existing seals. Typically sealed pavements are resealed at an age of 10 – 12 years to enhance the life of the pavement. After this age the seal oxidizes creating micro-cracking which allows egress of water into the base materials. As can be seen a significant number of areas exceed this nominal age and would require resealing. Costs for resealing would vary from $5/m2 to $10/m2 dependent on existing aggregate sizes and the need for single or double seals. Alternatively AC overlays may be options with costs of the order of $20/m2. As such the matter is referred to Council for consideration along with other possible Roads to Recovery projects.

Agenda - 27 - Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 February 2004 6. REQUEST FOR CAR PARKING CONSTRUCTION – GREGORY STREET –

ST MARY’S SCHOOL (ATTACHMENT)

As per the attached correspondence a request has been received from St Mary’s Primary School for Council to consider the construction of kerbside and centre parking in Gregory Street between Poole and Gordon Streets. Prior to undertaking any works in relation to costing of this proposal advice in sough from Council as to their views on future funding of this project. Options may exist for funding under TIDS Programme (although with a 2 year lead time) or Council’s Capital Works programme. For Council’s consideration and advice.

Agenda - 30 - Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 February 2004 7. BERGL STREET – SPEED LIMIT

Further to precious representations to Queensland Transport onsite discussions were held with Mr. Brian Donaghy with regard to a number of issues with regard to the 50km/hr speed limit introduction on 17th February 2004. As part of the discussions with Queensland Transport consideration of the reintroduction of a 40kph Limit in place of the existing 50Kph was undertaken. In summary Queensland Transport have indicated that they would agree to reintroduction of the 40kph limit subject to Council’s agreement for installation of further Local Area Traffic Management devices. Such devices can include more extensive pavement markings at the entrance to a 40kph zone. As this stage the advice is verbal only and a further report will be made to Council once formal advice is received. For Council’s information.

8. MERINDA RAIL CROSSING – BRUCE HIGHWAY

Following advice at the recent Council Meeting representations were made to the Manager Infrastructure Maintenance QRail regarding the condition /roughness of the rail surface at the Merinda level crossing on the Bruce Highway. Advice received is that the level crossing is not proposed for rehabilitation/reconstruction until 2006/7. Given this fact further discussions have been held with local QRail representatives to address the roughness issues currently being experienced. The upshot is that quotations are being provided to Qrail by Council for interim resurfacing. This may address short term roughness issues although it is suggested that in the long term only reconstruction will address the underlying problem. Subject to acceptance of the quotation by Qrail Council initial if not long term concerns should be addressed. For Council’s information.

9. ROADS TO RECOVERY PROGRAMME – 2005 TO 2009 (ATTACHMENT)

Further to a previous report to Council in regard to the extension of the above programme Council has requested some advice as to possible projects for inclusion under this program given the expected level of funding of around $360,000 per annum over four (4) years.

Some options may include the following:

Commit all funds to resealing of existing road pavements, priority

Agenda - 32 - Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 February 2004 PLANNING REPORTS 10. MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE : PROPOSED TRANSPORT DEPOT,

CORNER BOOTOOLOO ROAD AND DRAYS ROAD ON LAND DESCRIBED AS LOT 36 ON RP748638 TO PROPONANT JALROY PTY LTD. DA03/304 (ATTACHMENT) Tessman Planning Service have lodged an application for a Material Change of Use for a Transport Depot on behalf of Jalroy Pty Ltd. The subject property described as Lot 36 on RP748638 is located within the Rural Farming Zone and contains an area of 7.718ha. Bootooloo Road is constructed to a bitumen sealed standard with Drays Road being gravel surfaced and currently has load restrictions in place to prevent damage from trucks. A transport Depot is defined as:

“Transport Depot” means any premises used or intended for use for the overnight storing of buses, taxis or other road transport vehicles, including freight. The term includes the servicing of such vehicles on the premises.

In support of the application, the proponent has supplied the following information:

Site is zoned Rural Farming and improved with 9.00 x 6.00m steel framed and sheeted building and amenities building. Proposal is to use existing steel framed building for purposes of transport depot. Proposal is to use building for bulk drop-off in the morning with distribution during the day with smaller vehicles. Maximum number of employees at any time will be 3 with working hours between 4.00am and 6.00pm. Decomposed granite driveways with visitor parking and landscaping will be provided as per attached plans. We wish to advise that the above ground fuel storage tank described in our initial application will no longer be required. A further application will be made at a later stage if a fuel tank is needed. Also, daily vehicle movements in and out of the property are estimated to be as follows: - 2 to 3 semi-trailers - 6 tonne rigid truck - Occasional parcel deliveries by customers

The following extract is from the Town Planning Scheme: 5.2 RURAL FARMING ZONE

5.2.1 What is Intended for Land in this Zone


This zone applies generally to land which falls within the classification of valuable agricultural land pursuant to the intent of State Planning Policy 1/92 and which is outside the Shire's towns, villages and low density residential areas. It is intended to provide for:

(a) the protection of areas of good quality agricultural land, (b) viable agricultural production and rural activities on land suitable for

primary industry, (c) rural industries in association with other rural uses and

Necessary public utility and municipal undertakings are intended to be permitted on land within this zone.

Low density residential development and/or the establishment of essentially urban uses, such as offices, shops and serviced residential development, is not appropriate on land within this zone. Any proposal for low density residential or urban development shall not be approved. Subdivision of land in these zones is not intended except where proposals can be undertaken in accordance with circumstances referred to in Section 7.0 of this planning scheme and do not contravene the intent of State Planning Policy 1/92.

5.2.3 Requirements for Development

(1) Number of Dwelling-houses on an Allotment

Only one (1) Dwelling-house may be erected on any one allotment.

(2) Construction of Buildings

(a) Any development being the erection and use of any building or other structure in the Rural Farming Zone shall be subject to the requirements of the Building Act.

(b) Any site to be developed in the Rural Farming Zone shall be provided

with an adequate water supply, provided also with an environmentally acceptable means of sewage and other wastewater disposal, and where readily available connected to an electricity supply, all to Council's satisfaction.

(3) Siting and Design of Development

The relevant provisions of the Don River Flood Plain DCP and of Part 6.0

of this planning scheme apply to development on land included in the Rural Farming Zone.


(4) Subdivision of Land

The relevant provisions of Part 7.0 of this planning scheme apply to any subdivision of land which may be approved in the Rural Farming Zone. In particular, Element (iv) (a) of Part 7.0 applies to subdivision proposals in the Rural Farming Zone.

Council's intent in relation to subdivision within the Rural Farming Zone is that any subdivision proposals may only be approved where the applicant can clearly demonstrate that the proposal can comply with the intent of State Planning Policy No 1/92 and that the allotment density resulting from a proposal, other than pursuant to Part 7.0 Element (iv) (c) and (d) is not greater than 1 per 25 hectares.

The proposed use does not fall within the “permitted development” in the zone and therefore requires impact assessment under the provisions of the Integrated Planning Act 1997. The site is also located within the affected flood plain area from the outflows of the Don River with over 300mm of water during the 1980 flood. It would appear that the bulk of the freight will be from the agricultural sector and the use may also be defined as a Rural Industry. Referral to the Main Roads Department has been triggered as a concurrency agency, their response forms part of the recommendation. The following are matters to be considered by the Council for a Material Change of Use under the Planning Scheme: (1) The provisions of the planning scheme, including the Strategic

Plan and any applicable Development Control Plan;

The Rural Farming Zone does not prevent the use, provided it is for mainly transporting rural produce as indicated on the application. The small area of the site occupied by the depot would not prevent the balance of the Lot being used for horticulture possibly in conjunction with other Lots. Council needs to consider if the proposed gravel access manoeuvring areas should be sealed. The site also has additional benefits in that larger transport vehicles do not have to operate within the built-up areas of Bowen.

(2) The provisions of any relevant local or State planning policy;

The site is located within the farming area and would be classed as good quality agricultural land, however, due to the limited site area, it is unlikely to be a stand alone operation. The transport depot on a small part of the site would benefit the district’s Rural Industries.

(3) The size and shape of the site to which the application relates,

the siting of the proposed development and the area to be occupied by the development in relation to the size and shape of the adjoining land and the development thereon;

The subject site is suitable for the intended development and would not have any significant impact on adjoining properties.


(4) The character of the proposed development in relation to the

character of development on adjoining land and in the locality;

The area is small and would not be out of character with similar uses for large packing sheds etc. on farms.

(5) The existing and future amenity of the neighbourhood and the

likely impact of the proposed development on that amenity; Rural farming area. Minimal amenity impact envisaged. (6) Whether the proposed development is likely to have any adverse

environmental impacts, and, if so, whether adequate safeguards have been or will be made to prevent any adverse impact on the environment of the locality;

The proposed use is unlikely to have any adverse environmental impacts due to the considerable separation distances from other uses including residential.

(7) Whether the proposed development would create a traffic

problem or increase an existing traffic problem;

The proposal would not generate significant traffic to cause traffic problems. Drays Road will not be available for large vehicles due to load restrictions and development conditions.

(8) Whether the proposed means of ingress to and egress from the

site are adequate, and whether adequate provision has been made for the loading, unloading manoeuvring and parking of vehicles on the site;

Access will need to be constructed into the site. (9) Whether adequate provision has been or will be made for

landscaping of the site; Minimal landscaping should be provided. (10) Whether the site should be drained or filled or both drained and

filled to make the site satisfactory for the erection and use of any building or other structure proposed thereon;

The site is subject to flooding from outflows from the Don River. Building platforms should be implemented to minimise disruptions.

(11) Whether the site or any part thereof is, or is likely to be, subject

to inundation by floodwaters;

Proposed operational floor levels should be located above the designed flood heights.

(12) Any representation made by any statutory or other public

authority in relation to the application;


The Main Roads Department have provided conditions to be included in the recommendations.

(13) The findings of any study or report prepared in relation to the

application; The consultant’s material has been considered in the assessment. (14) The community need for and benefit from the proposal;

The proposal should provide employment and service which some of the rural sectors need.

(15) The circumstances of the case and the public interest; As above. (16) Where applicable any and every objection and/or submission to

the proposed development made pursuant to the Act; and No submissions were lodged during the notification period. (17) Any other relevant matter required under the Act to be

considered.

Consideration has been given to the Planning Scheme requirements State Planning Policy 1/92 and the requirements of the Concurrence Agency.

SUMMARY: The use of Lot 36 RP748638 for a Transport Depot has required Impact Assessment. No submissions were lodged during the notification period. A Transport Depot at this location would allow freight movements outside the urban centres of Bowen. Considerable separation/buffer distance exists from the operations site and farming/rural residences in the area to ameliorate any noise or operation problems. Transport access will mainly be along Bootooloo Road due to restrictions imposed by the Main Roads Department and Council’s load restrictions applying to Drays Road. The site is within the Development Control Plan No. 2 – Don River Flood Plain. Any additional buildings should be constructed with floor heights above the planned flood contour. This operation should be of benefit to the community and provide casual employment opportunities. RECOMMENDATION: That Tessmann Planning Service be advised that Council grants approval for the establishment of a Transport Depot on land described as Lot 36 on RP748638 corner of Bootooloo Road and Drays Road, Bowen subject to the following conditions:


1. Access off Bootooloo Road to be constructed to an industrial standard – Commercial Driveway Slab Type “A” DWG No R-0051 prior to commencement of the use; and

2. Any future building works constructed for the operation is to have floor

heights above the Planned Flood Profile for the Development Control Plan – Don River Flood Plain; and

3. Provision of landscaping that creates a pleasant and safe working

environment, that is environmentally responsive enhances the appearance of the development and helps the development blend into the streetscape, and helps to provide buffers; and

4. Should servicing of vehicles or full storage be contemplated on site the

proponent is to apply for environmentally Relevant Activity Licences; and

5. The operation is to comply with all requirements of the Town Planning Scheme.

Concurrence Agency Conditions: 1. Access to the proposed transport depot by way of the Drays Road

intersection with the Bruce Highway is restricted to vehicles of AUSTROADS Class 1, 2 and 3.

2. Access to the proposed transport depot by way of the Bootooloo Road

intersection with the Bruce Highway is restricted to vehicles of AUSTROADS Class 9 and lower.

3. In the event of a significant change in the type or volume of traffic into or

out of the proposed development using the Bootooloo Road and Drays Road intersections with the Bruce Highway, the owner of the subject land must contact Main Roads regarding any requirements.

Agenda - 41 - Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 February 2004 11. REQUEST FOR A BOUNDARY SETBACK VARIATION – LOT 13 ON

RP726373 – 48 BAXTER AVENUE, BRISK BAY, HERONVALE. APPLICANTS: G. & M. POTT (ATTACHMENT) Council has received a request from G & M Pott seeking Council approval to locate a storage shed / garage within the six (6)m boundary setback from Baxter Avenue. The proposed 9m x 7.2m enclosed shed is to be located within 1.40m of the street alignment and 0.7m from the common boundary with Lot 14 RP726373. The applicant has cited that the reason for the relaxation is due to a 10m setback from the Esplanade under the Beach Protection Authority. It is unclear where the 10m setback distance originated from, as the actual distance should be 5m. However, Council has previously considered similar requests for setback variations due to the constraints under the Coastal Management Control District.

Council has the ability to consider the request and must consider the following under 48(1)(3) of the Standard Building Regulations: (a) The levels, depth, shape or conditions of the allotment and adjoining

allotments; (b) The nature of any proposed building or structure on the allotment; (c) The nature of any existing or proposed buildings or structures on adjoining

allotments; (d) Whether the allotment is a corner allotment; (e) Whether the allotment has two road frontages; (f) Any other matter it considers relevant.

If the building is approved for the site proposed, it would not unduly: (a) Obstruct the natural light or ventilation of an adjoining allotment; or (b) Interfere with the privacy of an adjoining allotment; or (c) Restricting the areas of the allotment suitable for landscaping; or (d) Obstruct the outlook from adjoining allotments; or (e) Overcrowd the allotment; or (f) Restrict off-street parking for the allotment; or (g) Obstruct access for normal building maintenance.

COMMENTS The relaxation, if granted, would be consistent with previous approvals of Council. As all residential buildings have to have on-site waste water disposal facilities together with ample room for duplication if necessary, re-siting of the proposed residence may also be necessary, this could be achieved as the front esplanade setback is 5m not the 10m shown on the site plan. RECOMMENDATION: That G. & M. Pott be advised that Council has no objections to the siting variation to allow the construction of an enclosed shed 1.40m from the Baxter Avenue Street frontage of Lot 13 RP726373 and 0.70m from the common boundary with Lot 14 RP726373 subject to the area


requirements for on-site waste water drainage facility as designed by a recognised consultant. The applicant also be advised that minimum setback distance to the Esplanade is 5m not 10m as indicated on the site plan.

Agenda - 45 - Ordinary Meeting of Council 25 February 2004 12. APPLICATION FOR A RESIDENTIAL LICENCE – BOGIE RIVER BUSH

HOUSE. APPLICANT: GLENDA SCHARLI (ATTACHMENT) The Executive Director, Liquor Licensing Division (Department of Tourism, Racing and Fair Trading) has notified Council that an application for a Residential Licence has been lodged for the Bogie Driver Bush House. The Complex offers accommodation within a rural setting off the Normanby Road, Binbee. As part of the Bush House operation, Glenda and Ernst Scharli are in the process of applying for registration as a food premises with Environmental Health. Council is advised that:

Should this licence be granted it would enable the holder thereof to sell liquor to a resident or a guest of a resident for consumption on the premises at any time and up to 9 litres for consumption off the premises to residents only. Members of the general public may be sold liquor for consumption on the premises in an area used for the primary purpose of eating meals prepared and served to be eaten on the premises. However, the sale of liquor may be sold in this area to patrons who are non-diners i.e. only they’re to have a drink. By law, the relevant Local Government Authority for the locality must be informed of the application and afforded the opportunity to:

1. comment on the reasonable requirements of the public in the locality; or

2. object to the grant of the application on the grounds that the

amenity, quiet or good order of the locality would be lessened. If you do not support the application, your comments or objection should include full particulars of:

1. the grounds upon which the objection is made; and

2. the facts, evidence or reasons upon which it is based. The Chief Executive cannot rely on statements that merely indicate the Council does not support, or objects to the application. Please note that any comments or objection provided may be referred to the applicant.

Council is advised that the primary purpose of a ‘Residential Licence’ is the provision of accommodation and dinning to the general public. Sales can be made to a resident or their guest for consumption on the premises at any time for 24 hours per day.


The licence extends to public dining and functions 10am – 12 midnight, Monday to Sunday. The following are grounds for objections to the issue of the Residential Licence.

1. Undue offence, annoyance, disturbance or inconvenience to persons who reside or work or do business in the locality concerned, or to persons in or travelling to or from an existing or proposed place of public worship, hospital or school is likely to happen; or

2. The amenity, quiet or good order of the locality concerned would be

lessened in some way.

Format of Objections Objections must be lodged in writing individually or in petition form and must state the grounds for objection. An objection in the form of a petition must be in a format stipulated in the Act and the principal contact person should discuss the proposed petition with the Licensing Officer, Liquor Licensing Division, Department of Tourism, Racing and Fair Trading Mackay. COMMENTS The Bogie River Bushhouse has been operating for some years offering an alternative tourist destination and style of accommodation. As part of the project, the operators have intended to cater for small functions as well as providing accommodation. Mr and Mrs Scharli are in the process of meeting the requirements for the issue of a food licence. The application for the ‘Residential Licence’ has to undergo public notification under the Liquor Act which would attract local objections from the Binbee area, if any. The application also is subject to further compliance with technical Local Authority requirements such as Town Planning, Health and Building approvals which are checked separately. However, these issues can be included in Council’s response. RECOMMENDATION: That the Licencing Officer, Liquor Licensing Division, Department of Tourism, Racing and Fair Trading be advised that Council offers no objection to the issue of a Residential Licence to Glenda Mae Scharli and Ernst Scharli (Nominee Glenda Mae Scharli) for premises known as the Bogie River Bush House, 13-14 Normanby Road, Binbee via Bowen subject to compliance with Town Planning, Health and Building requirements.

13. APPLICATION FOR CONVERSION TO FREEHOLD SPECIAL LEASE NO.

5/43631 : LOT 221 ON CROWN PLAN HR811 – PARISH OF PRING. LESSEES: W.A. AND R.J. BIDGOOD (ATTACHMENT) The Acting Regional Manager (Integrated Natural Resource Management and Use North Region, Natural Resources and Mines) has written to Council requesting its views and or requirements for this application. Council is advised that the Special Lease 5/43631 was originally issued for industrial purposes. The subject property has a trucking business and service station on site. The service station was constructed in the 1980s by Caltex Oil Australia Pty Ltd under a permit issued to Bidgood Fuel Sales 16 August 1985. Council has attempted over many years to have the development comply with the Planning Scheme with the provision of sealed access from the then Main Roads frontage in Don Street. Subsequent applications have been considered by Council for the possible subdivision of the subject property from 1998 onward (property ownership was then under F.A & G.M. Bidgood). Council has consistently requested that the requirements would be: 1. Compliance with the requirements of the Department of Main Roads for

access; and

2. Compliance with Council’s Planning Scheme; and

3. Isolation of water services if required.

Item 1 is no longer valid as Don Street is no longer under Control of the Department of Main Roads. Item 2 would not apply on transfer of tenure. COMMENTS Council normally considers similar tenure conversions favourably, subject to access requirements being at the proponent’s cost i.e., including Town Planning Scheme issues. RECOMMENDATION: That Council advise the Acting Regional Manager (Integrated Natural Resource Management and Use, Department of Natural Resources and Mines) that Council has no objections to the conversion of tenure of Special Lease No. 5/43631 : Lot 221 on Crown Plan HR811 Parish of Pring to freehold tenure subject to: 1.

Endorsed Nurse Immunisers from the Bowen and Collinsville Hospitals provided these vaccinations in addition to our usual Hepatitis B and Adult Diphtheria and Tetanus vaccinations. With the Meningococcal C program extending to primary schools and new year 8’s in 2004, Council will be continuing with its high school programs, with the Bowen and Collinsville Hospitals committing fully to the primary school program. The service agreement reflecting Council’s involvement is attached for information purposes. RECOMMENDATION: That the 2004 Meningococcal C immunisation program involving the Bowen Shire Council be received.

Council recently sought feedback from residents and regular users to its proposal to develop a walking track around Mullers Lagoon. The track is proposed to be a low impact pathway suitable for both walkers and joggers, or those who wish only to stroll and admire the flora and fauna. A total of 27 letters were forwarded to neighbours, users of Mullers Lagoon and other local organisations. In addition, a display in Council’s window and a media release in the Bowen Independent has attracted a great deal of attention. Comments closed on 19 February 2004, with a total of 9 written responses received. Each correspondent will be responded to. Support was overwhelming in favour of the track and already the letters have been used to assist an application for funding as presented to the Area Consultative Committee.

RECOMMENDATION: That the response letters in favour of a walking track around Mullers Lagoon be received by Council.

The first meeting of the Bowen Shire Building Safer Communities Action Team Committee was held on Wednesday 18 February. Council Officers John Finlay and David Cornwell represented Council. A copy of the outline of the units of the Learning and Development Strategy are attached. Unit 1 included information on identified risk and protective factors associated with anti-social and criminal behaviour, the four general approaches to preventing crime – criminal justice, situational, community based, and developmental approaches. The framework for Community Crime Prevention was explained with the objectives of the Strategic Framework for Community Crime Prevention being:

Enhance stakeholder and community participation in developing and

implementing strategies to deal with regional and local crime prevention issues. Facilitate better coordinated and collaborative action by Government, non-

Government agencies and community groups in relation to crime prevention Provide greater stakeholder and community awareness of the causes of

crime and the Government’s initiatives to address them Provide more customized responses by Governments and others to meet

the diverse circumstances of different communities Create more effective links with, and mobilization of resources from, other

funding programs and initiatives Encourage better alignment of the priorities and efforts of communities and

Government at the Local, Regional, State and National levels John Mallett the Regional Crime Prevention Resource Officer facilitated the meeting and conveyed the State Government’s appreciation to Council for the support and assistance provided. For Councillor information.
