ITEM-2 DA 320/2016/ZD - SUBDIVISION CREATING SEVEN
09/21/2014 Additional information is requested regarding ecology, variance clause 4.6 and engineering design issues, including the need to limit the development footprint/increase in size of the association property. 06/11/2015 Additional information submitted by applicant including an amended plan of subdivision and engineering plans. The development application is for a subdivision of the 'rural group' community title to create seven rural residential plots and part of the community associations.
The community association property (Lot 1) includes a total area of 8.69 ha which is equal to 65.36% of the total area of the original plot.
Compliance with The Hills Local Environmental Plan 2012
To encourage rural cluster subdivision that will ensure the land is developed,
The proposal will not have a negative impact on the street image of the place, as all the proposed plots have large frontages (>60 m) to the public road. Less than 40% of the zoned portion of the RU2 area has been allocated to proposed residential lots. There will be no major loss of productive agricultural land as a result of the proposed development.
The recommended development footprint resulted in a reduction of approx. 1.1 ha in the area that was allocated to the rural districts, in relation to the original plan. Furthermore, enforcement of the development standard would result in the loss of the opportunity to formalize the protection and conservation of biodiversity values across this site.
On this basis, the proposed variation to the development standard under Clause

This will include approval of the inflow mask cover on the drainage pipe and any other all other aspects of the project that may affect the local ecology. Once the deepest part of the dam water is lowered to a nominal depth of one meter (1m), the ecological consultant will begin the relocation of aquatic fauna. The recommendations contained in the preliminary site investigation report prepared by Geotest Services Pty Ltd, referenced as 7790.1_R01, dated 1 June 2015 and submitted as part of the development application, must be implemented as part of this approval.
Where a lien on the title of the property is sought to be released or varied and the Council is listed as the beneficiary authority, the relevant release or variation documentation must be submitted together with payment of the applicable fee under the Council's schedule of fees and charges. Sufficient time should be allowed for the preparation of a report and the execution of documents by the Council.

STRATEGY: 7.1 The Shire's natural and built environment is well managed through strategic land use and urban planning that reflects our values and aspirations. This report recommends that Council adopt the Cherrybrook Area Project Plan, authorize the initiation of community engagement in the area's vision and the allocation of funds for joint and unique local studies identified within the Project Plan. The Urban Transformation Program is a collaborative approach between UrbanGrowth NSW, Hills Shire Council, Hornsby Shire Council and other state government agencies towards planning for future growth within Urban Transformation Areas.
Approval of the Project Plan by Council and the allocation of funds identified in the Project Plan will enable the procurement of the necessary technical studies for the Cherrybrook Area Master Plan. The preparation of the Technical Studies will directly influence the Detailed Master Plan for the Cherrybrook Rail Station Area, resulting in future amendments to the LEP 2012, DCP 2012 and the preparation of the Contribution and Public Access Plan for the Cherrybrook Rail Station Area. 19/06/2015 MOU executed by UrbanGrowth NSW, The Hills Shire Council, Hornsby Shire Council and Blacktown City Council.

- Budget and Cost Allocation
A project plan is prepared to guide the detailed master planning of the area to completion. The project will include detailed master planning of the Cherrybrook Precinct to facilitate higher density residential development, supported by proposed land use zones, yields, densities, development typologies and key development standards. Technical studies supporting the Site Plan/Master Plan, Planning Proposals, Development Control Plan Amendments, Contribution Plans and Public Character Plans.
Statutory planning reports and planning proposals for the three areas, including mapping to facilitate changes to the Hills and Hornsby LEPs;. Changes to The Hills and Hornsby DCPs (being prepared by the respective councils). Contribution plans for the Hills and Hornsby local communities (prepared by the relevant councils).
Public Domain Guidelines for the Hills and Hornsby LGAs (to be prepared by respective councils). For any future planning proposal on land within The Hills Shire, the Council would be in favor. The project plan includes key tasks and timeline outlining key steps required as part of the district planning process.
The Council does not currently have a specific budget to cover the allocated costs associated with obtaining the necessary technical studies. UrbanGrowth NSW is looking for both The Hills Shire and Hornsby Councils to contribute to technical studies to be shared between the three areas (Shared Studies), and to accept the costs for those studies not required for the Developable Government Land ( Unique) Studies). It is expected that subject to the Council's approval of the funding, any amendments or modifications to the budget or allocations will be agreed by the Ringwork Group.

2. Key Issues for the Hills Shire
Significant concern is raised with the implementation of complying development
Dual Occupancies Multi-Dwelling Housing Manor Homes/ Residential
If dual occupancy, multi-dwelling housing and townhouses are to be subject to compliant development provisions, the recommended development standards identified in Table 8 of this report must be applied. The Hills is one of the key locations for housing in the Sydney Metropolitan Region. Over the past decade, the Shire has grown rapidly at a rate greater than many other Sydney Metropolitan Local Government Areas.
While most Sydney Local Government Areas are development-shy, the Hills Shire has consistently planned for, and delivered, new housing to meet the state's growth targets. Since setting the State Government's residential growth targets in 2004, around 10,000 new homes have been delivered - with more than 3,000 of these for multi-unit dwellings or flats. Over the last 6 years numerous planning proposals have been supported by the Council which have the potential to increase the residential yield across the Shire.
Another major generator of growth is the Sydney Metro North West and the development that will take place around each of the railway stations. The state government has identified that the areas surrounding the eight (8) new stations are expected to provide up to 28,000 new homes by 2036. As can be seen, The Hills Shire has more than accepted the need to accommodate future population through a balanced growth approach.
The Council's Housing Strategy and Local Environmental Plan identifies and zones sufficient land to ensure that the Hills Shire can provide homes for the additional population expected over the next 30 years. Given that the Council has a proven track record in achieving its housing objectives, it is considered that the relentless proposals put forward by the State Government to extend the provisions for compliant development by eroding reasonable design standards are unnecessary and ultimately will have a significant impact on character. of Shire residential areas. On this basis, the proposal to extend the conforming development provisions within the SEPP Codes to apply to semi-detached dwellings, terraced houses and townhouses is not supported.

ITEM-6 TENDER T16/19 RECONSTRUCTION OF LOWER
Although only one tender was received, this tender was individually assessed by tender panel members for each of the agreed evaluation criteria. On the basis of commercial confidentiality, further information on the offer price and nature of the offer has been forwarded to the councilors separately. 1) a) accept the bid that appears to be the most advantageous; or (1) (b) refuse to accept any of the bids.
Funding of $250,000 has been allocated under Project 750093 in the 2015/16 Capital Works budget for the reconstruction of the Lower Portland Ferry Ramp. There are insufficient funds left to cover the costs of the current tender for the reconstruction of the ramp. To complete this process, the minutes of the Delegated Authorities Meeting of 22 December 2015 are submitted for information.
The minutes of the meeting of delegated authorities held on 19 January 2016 are submitted for approval by the Council. This report recommends that Council consent to the compulsory acquisition of the subject land under the terms set out. Under Section 45(1) of the Local Government Act 1993, a Council has no power to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of Community land.
PAGE 179 Compensation will facilitate the payment of compensation to the Council as assessed by the Valuer General. This report contains a summary of the evaluation of the bids received and makes a recommendation to accept the most satisfactory bid. For public safety, part of the coastal strip was barricaded with barriers filled with water.
Tenders were evaluated individually by members of the tender panel for each of the approved evaluation criteria. On the basis of commercial confidentiality, further details of the tendered prices, points for the relevant criteria and ranking for the various tenders have been forwarded to the Consultants under a separate cover.
