On page 348 of the report there is a section headed Environmental Considerations where it states that to support Amendment 215 the proponent has also provided the following information and that includes the District Water Management Strategy, an Environmental Report and a Bush Fire Management plan which you have referred to, and then it goes on to state all supporting technical information be considered by Administration in more detail should Amendment 215 be initiated. Consideration would be made in light of responses from external agencies which would be consulted on during the advertising process. Therefore, all this information is material to the next stage of considering Amendment 215.

Not necessarily an additional recommendation just further clarification in the original resolution and then that would be up to Council to decide

Response by Chief Executive Officer:
The current process as Cr Wright outlines is Council refers them back to a Council Forum and I can’t recall Council providing any further direction to Administration in regards to what happens post that. If Council in referring them back articulated that they go to a Forum and then be represented back to Council that would close the loop and see them returned to Council.

Response by Mayor Aitken:
That cannot be answered as it is a confidential item.

Administration is aware of the bike jumps removed from Ashbrook Park and also similar jumps been noted and removed from this park as part of routine maintenance to maintain and restore the conservation value of the reserve. The creation of the unauthorised bike track through the reserve present a public safety risk and threatens the species habitat. Primarily Ashbrook Park is a banksia dominated woodland location. Pearsall Primary School have adopted the bushland at the reserve and on a monthly basis they undertake bush care activities. The bike jumps observed within the park were determined to be unsafe for the public and were observed just prior to a school planting event and removed to ensure there was no risk to the Pearsall Primary School students and the public.

Administration is currently completing upgrades on the key operational software systems such as Finance, Payroll and Assets systems. The upgrade of the City’s Website has been
allocated as a project for this and next financial year.

Further Response by Director Corporate Strategy and Performance:
The Website has been considered within the budget, although it has not commenced due to other projects requiring resources. Once the Finance upgrade has been completed, Administration will commence the Website upgrade. The project will span across into next financial year and will go through various stages, including a procurement step. The Customer project will be running during this time as well, which will need to link to the website, so it is a good alignment of projects.

Further Response by Chief Executive Officer:
Administration will schedule a workshop to offer Council Members with an opportunity to provide input into the functionality they would like to see in the upgraded website.
