Cr Nadin - Boydtown planning proposal and development

 

A response to Cr Nadin’s Question without Notice from 18 May 2022 Ordinary Council Meeting was provided in the Ordinary Council Meeting Agenda of 20 July 2022.

 

 

 

15.2

Cr Fitzpatrick - Brief report on number of outstanding Development Applications

 

A response to Cr Fitzpatrick’s Question without Notice from 15 June 2022 Ordinary Council Meeting was provided in the Ordinary Council Meeting Agenda of 20 July 2022.

 

 

 

15.3

Cr O'Neil - When will the Council carry out and complete the survey on the contribution of short term rentals to Bega Valley’s acute housing shortage?

 

Cr Helen O’Neil asked when will the Council carry out and complete the survey on the contribution of short term rentals to Bega Valley’s acute housing shortage which is part of the Bega Valley Housing Strategy? Will the Council consider a local registration of short term rental properties to be funded through registration fee, and will it consult with the other regional shire councils also dealing with the impact of short term rentals on housing on possible options for tracking and regulating short term rental businesses?

Acting Director Community, Environment and Planning responded:

Strategy 14 includes a socio-economic impact assessment of the impacts of STRA in the Bega Valley Shire, with the purpose of reviewing whether it is appropriate to limit or restrict STRA in certain locations and request inclusion in the Housing SEPP 2021 as a “prescribed area”. This strategy also identified that consideration could be given to gaining approval for a shorter time, such as 90 days in a 365 day period.

This is medium term strategy so will be undertaken over the next 2-4 yrs.

Before we can progress this, we need current fluctuations in the housing market to settle, and will need to allocate this work to be completed under the relevant Operational Plan and budget process

Until we’ve done the assessment we don’t know what it will find or what potential solutions can be considered or implemented to address the impacts.

Local registration of short term rental accommodation (STRA) properties is not an action in the adopted strategy. The use of the state government STRA register to levy a fee on STRA property owners was investigated in the development of the strategy, however Council is unable to use the register for this purpose due to privacy restrictions (the information provided by the STRA Register can only be used for the purpose it was collected).

Staff are monitoring other councils’ responses to STRA and will consult with other regional councils during the implementation of the strategy.

Since the Affordable Housing Strategy was adopted in May 2022, Council staff have been progressing a number of actions within the strategy, including:

·         the establishment of the Affordable Housing Implementation Group – Expressions of Interest opened on 18 July (closing 7 August), to help us implement and monitor the strategy (strategy 1)

·         a planning proposal to make amendments to the Local Environmental Plan and several associated changes to the Development Control Plan which will be publicly exhibited shortly (Strategy 7)

·         an RFQ to engage a consultant to prepare Council’s new Local Infrastructure Contributions Plan has been distributed which includes a deliverable to conduct a feasibility analysis and make recommendations on the potential for an Affordable Housing Contributions Scheme (Strategy 17).

 

15.4

Cr Nadin - Can council please be advised of all other “zombie” DAs in the Bega Valley Shire?

 

Cr Nadin - Can council be advised of all other “zombie” DAs in the Bega Valley Shire?

Chief Executive Officer, Mr Anthony McMahon took the question on notice and noted that the research may not be available in the short term due to staff going back to do the assessment of where these DA’s are up to are the same staff currently trying to assess all our DA’s. He also advised as a first step staff would bring back suggestions on criteria to use to define  ’zombie’ DA’s.

 

15.5

Cr Nadin – Update on the Twyford Hall development and if there is a possibility we can remove the construction fence?

 

Cr Nadin asked can Council be updated on the Twyford Hall development and if there is a possibility we can remove the construction fence?

Chief Executive Officer Mr Anthony McMahon advised Public Works have been engaged by the Government to move the project forward, there are three parts they are currently undertaking:

1. Connect electrical supply works that has been an underlying issue to stop the woks progressing

2. Complete plumbing works

3. Complete the driveway crossover and associated pavement works

Fencing will be removed on completion of works (footpath) which is anticipated for end of September this year, there will still be internal works to be completed.

 

15.6

Cr Allen - Bermagui Return and Earn removal

 

Cr Allen asked for an update on the Bermagui return and earn removal.

Chief Executive Officer Mr Anthony McMahon advised there was intention to establish a temporary arrangement in Bermagui until a more permanent solution as an alternative to the Woolworths site is potentially found. The owner of the alternate site arrangement has been unwell, Council’s understanding is there won’t be a service in place after the 31 July 2022 for some period. It is understood Tomra (contractor responsible) are still looking for a site with the long term solution still unknown at this point and further clarification required.

 

15.7

Cr O'Neil - 2 part question regarding Stage 13 Mirador development

 

Cr O’Neil asked:

1. Has Council investigated and if so do they think it is viable as suggested by David Wightman of RCL to do a land swap given that ABC reports that 33 sites in stage 13 are already sold?

2. Could you describe the further stages of the development that are include in the development application which would involve further land clearing around Tura Beach and the possible course of action that council could take on the land clearing in the context of the state of the Australian environment as part of yesterdays national report release?

Acting Director Community, Environment and Planning, Mrs Emily Harrison advised in relation to the land swap Council has not been approached by the developer, so it has not been formally investigated.

In relation to the further stages of the development there are at least two more stages in that development, they will be subject to the same conditions as stage 13, if the consent is still valid they will be able to go ahead when the developer decides pending a construction certificate being issued and the same reviews will take place as is now of that construction certificate.

Chief Executive Officer Mr Anthony McMahon added that even though Council hasn’t been approached about a potential land swap, if we were asked the answer will be that Council do not have any land to swap due to very limited supply of land available for Council to do anything with what we own at present let alone swap it.

 

15.8
