3.Public Question Time

Response to previous public questions taken on notice

Declaration of public question time opened at 5:06pm

Mr Mark Sullivan presented a number of questions, as detailed below, for Council response. The Shire President, and Councillors, provided some brief comments to Mr Sullivan on the questions raised but advised that the questions would be taken on notice and written response will be provided.

A copy of the responses have been included in the meeting minutes.

Proposed Redevelopment and Expansion of the Cunderdin Grain Receival Point

  1. Can members of the Council tell me what the preferred route for Heavy Vehicles accessing CBH (when the new development is finished) given that the entry will be from Centenary Way and the exit Olympic Avenue?

The preferred route will remain Carter Drive. Even though the proposal is for Carter Drive to be closed as a public road and transferred to CBH, the Shire Chief Executive Officer has approached Cooperative Bulk Handling (CBH) with a view to the road remaining open for local heavy traffic carting to CBH and the Cunderdin Seed Works from the southern part of the Shire.

  1. In endorsing CBHGroups upgrade, is the Shire aware that if they close Carter Drive they are taking away an access road and Heavy Vehicle route that actually allows traffic to flow through Cunderdin townsite basically unnoticed?

Council at the Ordinary Council Meeting on 15 March 2012 endorsed the concept plan however there is still a lot of work to do prior to the redevelopment commencing, the second part of the question is answered in point 1 above.

  1. Has Council investigated re-aligning Carter Drive themselves instead of CBH Group?

Council has not considered this option.

  1. Is it possible for the Council to consult with business’s that actually surround this new development and let us know what is happening whether it be by telephone, letter or any form of communication?

The proposed redevelopment will require public consultation in accordance with the Planning and Development Act 2005 and the Shire of Cunderdin Town Planning Scheme No 3, also the proposed road closure will require public notice in accordance with the Land Administration Act 1997. This consultation will be carried out in due course and at the appropriate time once a committed development proposal has been received.

  1. If the new development goes ahead and CBHGroup purchase the given parcels of land which they have stated in their summary upgrade, will the council consider giving me some financial assistance to move to the industrial area, if there is going to be any land available in the near future?

Council can assist you in negotiations with CBH and Landcorp to access one of the new Light Industrial Lots to be developed off Centenary Place, however Council is not in a position to provide financial assistance.

Sporting Ground Redevelopment

  1. In discussion with some councilors regarding upgrade of Sporting facilities, and with the advent of Royalties for Regions money being added recently bringing the current total of grant money to approx. 2.2million, will Council be consulting with sporting groups on the final design, and how long do you see this period lasting for?

Council has received a very good response in relation to grant applications for financial assistance to develop the sports ground redevelopment project. Floor plans are currently being finalised for the Change Rooms part of the project and then Council will commence work with the Architect on the Community Centre project. It is proposed these plans will then be consulted with the elected Sporting Facility Design Working Group of which sporting groups/clubs have representation. The matter will not go back out to the general community for further consultation as this has already been carried out. At the end of the day Council in consultation with the Working Group needs to get on with the job and finalise the project to enable works to commence on stage 1 at the completion of the current football season.
