OBJECTIVES

The purpose of this policy is to set out the goals, objectives, selection criteria, and the requirements for managing processes associated with the development and operation of formal relationships between the governments of Yass Valley and cities in other countries.

DEFINITIONS

Sister City Relationship is a formal relationship between city governments with economic, social and cultural dimensions, involving exchanges in agreed dimensions between city governments on behalf of, and involving, their businesses and communities. Sister City Relationships may focus on all aspects of a city – governance and administration, the economy, society and culture, and the environment.

Sister City relationships are much broader in scope than a Strategic Partnership, with emphasis on developing and nurturing long-term community-to-community relationships, but may also embrace highly focused, mutually supported interests or initiatives in the same manner as a Strategic Partnership.

An Australian City will generally have just one Sister City in a country.

Strategic Partnership is a formal relationship between cities that is typically less broad in scope than a Sister City relationship. This may involve strong business or community level synergies, focused toward specific areas. For example, a relationship between two cities may be focused upon education, or specific research, or particular economic development or tourism projects, or may involve development of a channel to assist with marketing for a specific traded sector. Multiple Strategic Partnerships may be developed with another nation, focusing on different synergies and exchanges with different cities. There will typically be more direct business, institution or community stakeholder involvement in this type of relationship, with business, institutions and community stakeholders funding their own level of engagement, facilitated by the city.

PRINCIPLES

Council may establish formal or informal relationships with the governments of cities in other countries for the purposes or economic, social, cultural or environmental development in the mutual interests of both parties.

POLICY

1. Goals and Objectives

International relationships should offer significant benefits to Yass Valley including enhancing economic development, cross cultural community development, international cooperation and educational exchanges and learning. The objectives of individual relationships may differ, but all international relationships should align with Yass Valley’s strategic directions as outlined in the current Community Strategic Plan and other key planning documents.

All proposals for the establishment of an international relationship will be assessed based on the following goals and objectives and must be submitted to Council’s Economic Development Committee for endorsement prior to being submitted to Council for decision.

GOAL	OBJECTIVE
Economic Development	Support strategic priorities
	Expand Yass Valley’s network of business contacts and relationships
	Increase international private sector investment in Yass Valley
	Provide a conduit between local innovation and international industry
	Accelerate economic growth through commercial partnerships
	Leverage existing industry strengths into increased innovation and job creation
	Promote Yass Valley as an attractive tourist destination
Cross Cultural Development	Promote Yass Valley’s cultural and arts community
Cross Cultural Development	Establish relationships between cultural, arts and educational institutions
International Cooperation	Support international education, research and cooperation
International Cooperation	Increase global awareness of Yass Valley
Other Objectives	Assessed on merit against Council strategic planning documents

2. Principles of Establishing International Relationships

The following principles should apply to international relationships.

· The proposed Candidate City may be in a country with which the Federal Government and/or the NSW Government has some form of positive relationship.

· Council may add a maximum of one Sister City every two years, with a maximum of three ongoing Sister City relationships, one per country, at any one time.

· Geographic concentration of Sister Cities in one global region should be avoided.

· In addition to formal Sister Cities, Council may establish Strategic Partnership relations with cities in other nations, as determined by Council.

· Establishing international relationships should take into account cultural, ethical and/or moral issues pertinent to the community at the time.

3. Guidelines

The following guidelines will be utilised to assist with the selection of a Sister City or Strategic Partner City.

People-to-people relationships	Is there an existing economic, social, cultural or arts link between the Candidate City and Yass Valley to act as a foundation for building and sustaining the relationship?
Gross Domestic Product	Is the GDP proportionately comparable to Yass Valley or the broader Canberra region?
Growth	Does the Candidate City have favourable economic growth rates?
Economic Activity	Does the Candidate City have strong trade activity?
Potential	Has the Candidate City been identified as a priority for future development?
Investment	Does the Candidate City have potential for mutual investment?
Commercialisation	Does the Candidate City have potential for cooperation in commercially applicable research?
Academic organisations	Does the Candidate City have academic institutions such as colleges, universities and research centres?
Innovation	Does the Candidate City encourage new technologies and research?
Tourism	Does the Candidate City provide the opportunity to increase tourism activity?
Affiliations	Does the Candidate City have a Chamber of Commerce or other business or industry associations – or if equivalent bodies are not the custom in the country, some body through which Yass Valley Council and the Yass Valley Business Chamber may engage with business entities in that City or state/province? Does the Candidate City have strong arts affiliations e.g. representatives for State/regional gallery/museum, literary, visual arts or theatre/performance organisations or a member of a National or International entities (e.g. International Federation of Ares & Cultural Councils)
Cost and benefits	Does the relationship provide appropriate cost to benefit

4. Process to Establish a New International Relationship

Proposals are to be assessed by Council management and a report prepared for the consideration of Council’s Economic Development Committee. The Committee will provide recommendations and reasons for their decisions recorded in the Minutes of the Committee.

Assessment of proposals will take into account the goals and objectives of the Yass Valley Community Strategic Plan and the selection criteria as set out in this policy.

If a proposed relationship is recommended by the Economic Development Committee, Council management will prepare a report for Council detailing the anticipated costs and benefits of entering into the proposed new relationship along with a draft Relationship Plan (refer Section 6).

Discretion rests exclusively with Council to approve or reject the proposal. Depending on cultural conventions of the international community or city, an agreement forming an international relationship might variously be referred to as a Treaty of Friendship, or a Friendship City Agreement. The nature of the relationship with a particular city will be determined by Council at the time of approving the proposal i.e. either a Sister City Relationship, or a Strategic Partnership.

5. Management of International Relationships

Prior to Council consideration of any proposed new relationship, the Economic Development Committee (or a nominated sub-committee) through the Economic Development & Tourism Manager may make contact with representatives from the Candidate City to seek further information, check areas of common interest, discuss individual aims and objectives for the partnership.

Once a new relationship has been approved by Council, all activities associated with programs (such as visits overseas, hosting visits and coordinating local groups seeking to engage with Sister Cities or Strategic Partner Cities) should be coordinated by the Economic Development & Tourism Manager, in consultation with the Mayor and General Manager, to ensure that all activities meet the objectives of this policy.

6. Relationship Plan and Reporting

Every international relationship under consideration should have a relationship plan outlining:

· The key objectives of the relationship e.g. encouraging and facilitating economic, social-cultural and environmental exchanges, developing networks

· The key stakeholders

· Long-term goals

· Key focus areas for the relationship

· Key performance indicators to measure benefits/outcomes

In July of each year, an annual report and review of relationship activities and the relationship plan including an audit of key performance indicators will be provided to Council to ensure that Yass Valley is benefitting from the relationship.

7. Budget and Resource Commitment

Council should establish an on-going operational level of funding in order to maintain the regular cost of promotions, travel and sundry costs associated with each Sister City or Strategic Partner relationship. This will be considered as part of the usual budget process and reflected in the Annual Budget and Operational Plan and in the long term financial plan (LTFP).

Resourcing will generally be based on the following:

Sister City

· Travel to the city (up to one trip by two Councillors every 4 years and subject to approval by Council)

· Corporate gifts

· Catering for visiting delegations (e.g. welcome morning/afternoon tea, dinner)

· Any other activities specified in the relationship agreement

Strategic Partner

· Travel to the city (as per the relationship agreement)

· Corporate gifts

· Catering for visiting delegations (e.g. welcome morning/afternoon tea, dinner)

Visits to non-sister/strategic partner cities – Councillor arranging their own private travel to overseas cities cannot claim reimbursement for any aspect of their travels. They may not take corporate gifts on behalf of Council (even if they wish to pay for them through their own funds).

8. Cessation of Relationship

Sister City relationships and Strategic Partnerships may be dissolved upon mutual agreement or if Council determines upon annual review that the relationship has ceased to meet stated goals and objectives.

6.3 On-Site Sewage Managment Systems Strategy

Attachment b Revised On-site Sewage Managment Systems Strategy

YVCouncil

REVISED

On-site Sewage Management Systems Strategy (April 2019)

1. BACKGROUND

Yass Valley Local Government Area (LGA) is located in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, and covers approximately 4,000km² with the main population centred in the town of Yass, smaller villages including Binalong, Bookham, Bowning, Gundaroo, Murrumbateman, Sutton and Wee Jasper, along with a large rural population.

There are approximately 4,000 On-site Sewage Management Systems (OSSMS) within the Yass Valley which includes Aerated Wastewater Treatment Systems (AWTS), Septic Tank and Absorption Trenches and Compositing or Biological Systems.

With the population of the Yass Valley LGA projected to increase from 15,450 to about 22,785 by 2031 and the recent approval to change the minimum rural lot size from 80ha to 40ha. There is potential for the number of OSSMS to greatly increase.

The satisfactory performance of both existing and new OSSMS will depend on a number of contributing factors including age, design, installation, user loading, operation, maintenance and user knowledge. These factors must be controlled and monitored to ensure both public health and environmental protection measures are achieved.

The preparation of an On-Site Sewage Management Strategy is encouraged under the Local Government Act 1993 and the Protection of Environment Operations Act 1997 and their associated regulations. This legislation gives Council the discretion to develop service support and supervision models that provide for the management of the impact of sewage pollution.

Council has a responsibility to monitor not only individual system performance and take action in regard to defective systems where required, but also to manage the cumulative impact of small amounts of sewage from the many systems in the area. Council is committed to a process of continued improvement in on-site sewage management, sustainable development and better community awareness of onsite sewage management system issues within the Yass Valley.

In doing this Council has allocated resources to support a number of programs which are ongoing including, the issuing of Approvals to Operate through the Rates system, the OSSM risk based Inspection Program and general education and community awareness programs and support.

Through effective use of this Strategy, the public health and environmental impacts associated with the use of OSSM systems will be reduced.

2. PURPOSE

The purpose of this strategy is to protect public health and the environment from ineffective and failing OSSMS and to guide landholders towards sustainable on-site sewage management in the long term within the Yass Valley LGA.

These objectives will be achieved through three main processes:

1. Approvals process

2. Inspection and regulation

3. Education and community engagement

3. SCOPE

This strategy applies to all land within the Yass Valley LGA that is not connected to a reticulated sewerage system including:

· All On-Site Sewage Management Systems (OSSMS) and their Related Effluent Application Areas (REAA), designed to treat waste of a domestic or commercial nature (unless the system is required to be licensed under Schedule 1 of the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997)

· All Domestic Greywater Treatment Systems (DGTS) and Greywater Diversion Devices (GDD) where an OSSMS is installed

4. LEGISLATION & GUIDELINES

This strategy must be read in conjunction with the most current additions or revisions of the following legislation and guidelines, but are not limited to:

· Local Government Act 1993 and Local Government (General) Regulation 2005

· Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 and Associated Regulation

· NSW Department of Local Government 1998, Environment and Health Protection Guidelines: On-Site Sewage Management for Single Households.

· Department of Energy, Utilities and Sustainability: NSW Guideline for Greywater Reuse in Sewered Single Household Residential Premises, 2007

· AS/NZS 1547:2012 On-Site Domestic Wastewater Management

· AS/NZS 1546.1:2008 On-Site Domestic Wastewater Treatment Units – Septic Tanks

· AS/NZS 1546.2:2008 On-Site Domestic Wastewater Treatment Units – Waterless Composting Toilets

· AS/NZS 1546.3:2008 On-Site Domestic Wastewater Treatment Units – Aerated Wastewater Treatment Systems

· AS/NZS 3500 Plumbing and Drainage

· Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979, Environmental Planning & Assessment Regulation 2000, Yass Valley Development Control Plan and planning policy documents relating to development approvals

5. APPROVALS PROCESS

5.1 Context

The Local Government Act 1993 (LG Act 1993) and Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 provide the legislative framework for On-site Sewerage Management Systems (OSSMS).

The Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 sets out specific requirements for OSSM approvals including matters for Council consideration, performance standards and defines the circumstances where prior Council approval is or is not required. Part 2 of the Regulation incorporates the requirement for an Approval to Operate an onsite sewage management system. Section 68 LG Act 1993 covers the requirements for Approval to Install or Alter a system of sewage management.

5.2 Existing Situation

Approval to Install or Alter

An application is required to install, construct or alter a waste treatment device or a human waste storage facility under s68 LG Act 1993.

For new development involving an OSSMS this will be issued in conjunction with a Consent or the Complying Development Certificate as part of the usual Development Application process.

For Complying Development Certificates obtained from a Private Certifier a separate s68 Approval is required.

For Exempt Development (i.e. development not requiring planning approval) a separate s68 Approval is required if an OSSMS is involved.

All applications to install, construct or alter an OSSMS must be on the prescribed form with the relevant supporting documentation as outline on Council’s website and the prescribed fee at the time of lodgement. The systems must be designed in accordance with the Environment & Health Protection Guidelines On-site Sewage Management for Single Households (Jan 1998) (‘Silver Book’) and AS/NZ 1547:2012 On-Site Domestic Wastewater Management.

Approval to Operate

Operating a system of sewage management is a prescribed activity under s69 Local Government Act 1993 and clause 45 Local Government (General) Regulation 2005. It is the activity of sewage management (not the facilities) which are subject to this approval. The design, construction and installation of sewage management facilities and land application areas is regulated by the requirement to obtain either Development Consent under the EP&A Act 1979 or activity approval under s68 LG Act 1993.

Unlike Consent for the development of land, Council approval to operate an OSSMS is personal and does not run with the land. Approval to Operate an OSSMS is primarily an accountability mechanism between the individual landowner and Council. The operating conditions are specified as part of the approval to install and set the performance objectives and accountability requirements for the ongoing management and operation.

A system of sewerage management requires the landowner to take all reasonable steps to minimise the transmission of disease, pollution of water and degradation of land as a result of sewage management activity and requires the landowner to inform Council about these activities and pay fees which are charged through the rates system.

An annual application for an Approval to Operate is no longer required in Yass Valley. Following the Approval to Install an OSSMS, the Approval to Operate in now part of the annual Rates Notice process. The issue of a receipt following payment of rates (which includes the Approval to Operate fee) is sufficient for an approval. This ensures that every OSSMS owner has current annual approval.

For new systems, a completed application form for an Approval to Operate an On-Site Sewage Management Facility must accompany the application for Approval to Install an On-Site Sewage Management Facility if a current Approval to Operate does not exist.

Where a property changes hands an application for change of ownership of a property is required – there are no fees associated with this. New owners have a period of three months to inform Council of their new ownership of the system.

5.3 Key Ongoing Commitments

Council’s ongoing commitments are to:

· Continue to assess applications to install/alter OSSMS in accordance with the legislation

· Continue to issue Rates Notices with the fee for an Approval to Operate an OSSMS

5.4 New Initiatives

· Electronic lodgement of an Application for s68 Drainage Approval Form 5 (including On-site Sewage Management Systems)

· List of Wastewater Consultants known to operate in Yass Valley to be provided on Council’s Website

5.5 What you can do to assist

· Understand how your system operates

· Maintain the system in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and installation requirements and any conditions of your Approval to Install

6. INSPECTION AND REGULATION

6.1 Context

The Local Government Act 1993 and the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 provide the legislative framework for compliance of OSSMS.

Council is the Appropriate Regulatory Authority (ARA) for the enforcement and regulation of OSSMS in Yass Valley.

The Environment & Health Protection Guidelines On-site Sewages Management for Single Households recommends that Councils should implement a program of OSSMS audits to monitor the performance of systems and also to monitor the impact of on-site sewage management on a larger environmental scale which are assess against the Performance Standards of Local Government (General) Regulation 2005.

Prior to 1 July 2016 there was no system of renewing Approvals to Operate. Renewals tended to occur when:

· A property is bought and sold (provided the solicitors are aware of the need to transfer the approval)

· An organised resident seeks renewal/extension

· Council officers are undertaking inspections of on-site systems in an area

Similarly there was no programmed inspections for OSSMS and inspections were undertaken on an ad hoc, reactionary basis.

In 2016, as part of a service review, a new approvals system was introduced (i.e. approval linked to payment of rates). This system freed up resources to develop an inspection program for OSSMS.

6.2 Existing Situation

Inspections

Council’s approach to inspections of OSSMS is based on risk. Inspections are targeted at high risk locations (e.g. villages) and responding to reports or complaints of poorly operating systems.

Inspections will be programmed annually as per the following table:

Area	Risk	Inspection Audit Rate
· Villages/Flood/Overland Flow Areas	High	10% of properties in this category (minimum)
· Rural Residential	Medium	5% of properties in this category (minimum)
· Rural	Low	20 Inspections (random)

In addition follow up inspections of OSSMS previously identified with problems will also be undertaken.

Reports or complaints of poorly operating systems will result in an inspection being undertaken.

Additional inspections may be undertaken as resources permit.

Enforcement

Provisions for enforcing compliance of OSSMS exist under the Local Government Act 1993 and the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997. Council’s approach to compliance is outlined in its Enforcement Policy and is also based on a risk approach i.e.

Risk	Response
Life threatening or significant risk to the environment	As soon as practical
Non-life threatening or non-serious risk to the environment	Within 10 working days
Council identified priority	As per program or plan

Allegations will be initially assessed to determine if investigation is warranted. Investigations will not occur if:

(a) The matter has already been investigated and resolved

(b) Council has no jurisdiction

(d) The complaint is trivial, frivolous or vexatious

(e) Too much time has elapsed between the activity and the complaint being received

(f) There is another appropriate agency to investigate the matter

For those matters warranting investigation, those that are non-life threatening/non-serious risks to the environment will progressively escalate from ‘counselling’ through to formal enforcement options provided for in the relevant legislation if corrective action is not taken.

For life threatening/serious risk to the environment a stronger enforcement response (e.g. fines, emergency orders) will initially be taken to achieve corrective action.

6.3 Key Ongoing Commitments

Council’s ongoing commitments are to:

· Undertake inspection in accordance with the risk rating identified for areas throughout Yass Valley

· Undertake compliance action consistent with Council’s Enforcement Policy

6.4 New Initiatives

Nil

6.5 What you can do to assist

· Understand how your system operates

· Maintain the system in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and installation requirements and any conditions of your Approval to Install

7. EDUCATION & STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT

Context

It is important for landowners to understand how to operate and maintain their OSSMS and what the possible consequences of a faulty or poorly managed system.

Landowners should also be aware of their legal responsibilities

Existing Situation

Council provides information on OSSMS on its web site relating to:

· What is an OSSMS?

· Approval to install

· What is an approval to operate?

· Pre-purchase inspections

· Maintenance and alterations

· Decommissioning

This information also provides useful links to other web based information by the Department of Health and the Office of Local Government.

Key Ongoing Commitments

Council’s ongoing commitments are to:

· To maintain Council’s web based information and links to other websites.

· To provide educational materials and advice when needed

New Initiatives

· Provide, free of charge, the required AWTS ‘avoid contact’ signs to the community stating ‘Reclaimed Effluent, Not for Drinking, Avoid Contact’

· Regular social media posts

What you can do to assist

· Check out the OSSMS information on the Department of Health and the Office of Local Government web sites (e.g. The Easy Septic Guide)

· Understand your legal responsibilities in operating an OSSMS

· Understand how your system operates

· Maintain the system in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications and installation requirements and any conditions of your Approval to Install

REPORT

1. Application Details

Date Received	-	12 July 2018
Land	-	60 and 82 Laidlaw Street Yass
Area	-	25.36ha
Zoning	-	B6 Enterprise Corridor R1 General Residential RE1 Public Recreation W1 Natural Waterways

2. Site Description and Locality

The site is located in north Yass at distance of about 450m from the Hume Bridge over Yass River and approximately 250m from the Yass Public School.

The site is bounded by rail corridor, residential and mixed use developments along Laidlaw Street to the east, Yass River to the west, and vacant land to the north. Joe O'Connor Park and Yass Public School are located to the south of the subject land.

The development site is comprised of two titles i.e.

· 60 Laidlaw Street - containing a dilapidated dwelling and associated structures. The property is declared significantly contaminated site and is subject of an approved voluntary management proposal issued by the Environment Protection Authority. Portion of the rail corridor and portion of Laidlaw Street are also subject to this notice

· 82 Laidlaw Street - largely a grazing land with existing dwelling and storage sheds

A Locality Plan is included in Attachment A.

3. Background & Proposal

At its meeting on 19 December 2018 Council determined to provide in principle support for conditional approval of the residential subdivision of 60 and 82 Laidlaw Street, Yass (refer Attachment B) but deferred consideration pending provision of further information i.e.

· A satisfactory contamination report confirming the suitability of the site for the intended land use

· A satisfactory Biodiversity Development Assessment Report

· A suitable intersection design(s) at Laidlaw Street based on the traffic from the proposed subdivision and the anticipated traffic from the development of the overall residential area in this locality and in consultation with the Roads & Maritime Service and existing affected business operators

· A utility infrastructure design (for water, sewerage and stormwater) for the proposal and its integration with the development of the overall residential area in this locality

· A satisfactory overall master plan and environmental plan for the locality detailing how the area will be developed and how the environmental values (including the Yass River) will be protected

A copy of the December 2018 report is included in Attachment C.

The Applicant has provided additional information in response to the Council resolution and this is discussed in the Assessment section.

4. Assessment

An assessment of the proposal has been completed in accordance with the planning legislation. The proposal generally complies with the relevant planning controls, policies and guidelines. The planning response to the issues identified are as follows:

4.1 Contamination

Under State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) 55 Remediation of Contaminated Land, Council must consider:

· Whether land is contaminated

· If the land is contaminated, Council is satisfied that the land is suitable in its contaminated state or will be suitable after remediation for proposed use

In the Planning Forum photographs were tabled from an adjoining resident showing the condition of the drainage line on the subject site. This information suggested there was a potential pollution problem. The nearby former Mobil site currently being remediated was suggested as being a likely source of the pollution.

The report initially submitted in response to Council’s decision in December 2018 was in fact summary information of the impacts in relation to use of petroleum storage facility (Mobil Depot) located adjoining to the site. It was a desktop review of historical data (about 10 years old). The report indicated:

· A low probability of groundwater discharge from October 2018 testing

· The information from the closed wells on the subject site in 1996 and 2002 indicated there is an overall shrinking trend for the plume and concentrations would be expected to decrease

The report also suggested that the photographs indicated the impacts are possibly due to general anaerobic/anoxic environment as iron is soluble under these conditions, but not under oxidising conditions. The orange/brown sludgy material appears to be like iron consuming bacteria, and the surface ‘sheen’ may be an oxidised iron layer. Unfortunately there was no recent soil or ground water testing to support this claim.

Mobil had an EPA Accredited Auditor review the photographic information who made the following comments:

· The photographs are consistent with the appearance of oxidised iron which is common in the environment

· Irregular/ jagged outline of the ‘sheen’ is clearly observed which is consistent with iron impact and not significant petroleum hydrocarbon impact which would have a smooth boundary

· It would be highly unlikely that significant petroleum hydrocarbon impact would be evident adjacent to the church and down gradient to the west of the rocky outcrop (west of the church)

The Applicant has now submitted a supplementary Soil & Water Assessment Report undertaking an assessment of the southern drainage line to determine the potential presence and potential source of hydrocarbon contamination.

This report identifies low level of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) concentrations attributed to potential flow and/or past flow of hydrocarbon impact on the site from unknown source. These concentrations of contamination of potential concern are below the ANZECC site assessment criteria for all surface water samples with the exception of copper, mercury and zinc which were marginally in exceedance of the site assessment criteria. The report states that this exceedance is unlikely as a result of hydrocarbon contamination and could be due to natural background levels in soil leaching into the surface water.

The investigations into the potential pollution issue raised in submissions and at the Planning Forum indicate there is not a significant contamination issue. Based on the information provided and taking a precautionary approach, a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) including an unexpected finds protocol, surface and ground water monitoring should be required prior to the issue of any Construction Certificate. The CEMP should be implemented prior to commencement of any works as well as during construction.

Should any contamination be identified during construction work, the developer will be responsible for the preparation and submission to Council for approval a Remediation Action Plan (RAP) detailing how the contaminated areas/areas of environmental concern will be remediated

Similarly the areas of environmental concerns impacted by proposed development and identified in the Preliminary Site Investigation report need to be assessed, remediated and validated. Any approval that may issue for the proposed subdivision should contain conditions to address this.

4.2 Overall Masterplan and Development Guidelines

An overall Concept/Master Plan (refer Attachment D) and Development Guidelines (refer Attachment E) have been submitted as requested. These documents are based on:

· Being responsive to the environmental and cultural value of the site

· ‘Streets for Living’ recognising the function of streets, different forms of transport (including walking and cycling) and providing connectivity throughout the subdivision and into the surrounding areas

· Housing diversity and choice

· Public open space largely focused on the riverfront

· Grouping of non-residential activities to provide a focus for the community

While there are some improvements that can be made to the documents these can be addressed as part of any future Planning Proposal (to rezone land and to vary the minimum lot size in accordance with the Settlement Strategy). The documents in their current form are generally satisfactory in showing how the current application will integrate with the subdivision of the whole site.

4.3 Biodiversity Development Assessment Report

A Biodiversity Development Assessment Report (BDAR) has been submitted to address the potential biodiversity impacts of the proposed subdivision in accordance with the requirements of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016.

The BDAR identifies:

· One plant community type (PCT) in one condition class i.e. Wallaby Grass-Red-grass-Tall Speargrass - Kangaroo Grass dry tussock grassland (low condition)

· Habitat for two threatened fauna species within the development footprint i.e.

Golden Sun Moth (surveyed)

Striped Legless Lizard (not surveyed, assumed present).

Following the application of avoidance and mitigation measures, the Biodiversity Assessment Methodology (BAM) identified the following biodiversity credits required to offset the impacts of the proposed development:

· 14 ecosystem credits for the Wallaby Grass

· 14 species credits for striped legless lizard

· 28 species credits for golden sun moth

The Biodiversity Offset Strategy that compensates for the unavoidable loss of biodiversity values due to the proposed development is required under the provisions of Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. In this regard, any of the following options can be utilised:

· Establishment and retirement of credits within a Stewardship site

· Securing required credits from open credit market, and/or

· Payment to the Biodiversity Conservation Fund

It is important to note that the area of impact in the BDAR does not extend to the area along the river, which is proposed to be part of a river corridor/open space area. However, the Development Guidelines (refer Attachment E) submitted for future residential development of the site would have an impact on the biodiversity in this area. Should this area be developed as indicated in the Guidelines the BDAR must be amended to include impacts on biodiversity values in this area.

The submitted Statement of Environmental Effects and supplementary information indicates that land within river corridor is to set aside as a residual lot and no work is to be done as part of the proposed subdivision. While this area is flood affected (and therefore cannot be developed) it does provide an essential open space area to primarily serve the new residential development. As such the developer should be required to prepare a detailed landscaping plan and undertake the necessary works to enhance the riparian area and provide a suitable open space area for residents if it is to form a public open space area.

Accordingly, any approval that may issue for the proposed subdivision should contain a condition that requires the submission of a detailed landscaping plan and an amended BDAR report in order to include the impacts of any works in the river corridor on the biodiversity value of this area.

The BDAR identifies pest animal control as a Council responsibility. This is Local Land Services (LLS) issue. Accordingly, ongoing pest management in order to avoid and minimise the impacts of development must be consistent with LLS procedures.

4.4 Agronomy Report

The Applicant has recently submitted an Agronomy Report as a supplementary report to BDAR. It seems that the aim of this report is to circumvent BDAR prepared in accordance with the requirements of Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. The report claims that:

· The small area of native grasses noted in the BDAR report is questionable and did not make any assessment relating to exotics or weed plant species.

· The only native species on the property were a few remnant eucalypt trees and some sporadic areas of red grass.

· The site is not a remnant native vegetation site. The only birds we saw on the property were ducks and water hens on the actual river itself. There was no habitat available other than blackberries for foxes and rabbits on the rest of the property.’

The report suggests cultivating the land and use of herbicides in reducing and eradicating the noxious and other weeds. It is however important to note that this is not a suitable management action for the identified Golden Sun Moth habitat (of which areas are clearly marked on the BDAR). The proposed action would destroy the habitat which constitute an Offence under both State and Federal legislation, the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 and the Environmental Protection & Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

The BDAR was prepared by appropriately accredited assessors and followed the correct procedures of Biodiversity Assessment Methodology (BAM) under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2015. The Agronomy Report has not been prepared on the same basis and adds no value to the assessment of biodiversity values. On this basis the report is not considered relevant to the assessment of the development.

4.5 Utility Infrastructure Design

Sewage Drainage

The existing capacity of Council’s sewer infrastructure is not adequate to service the whole land. While there is capacity to serve 62 residential lots new sewerage infrastructure, such as gravity sewers, pump stations, rising mains to transfer effluent directly to Yass Sewage Treatment Plant, is required for any development above this level. This means the four ‘super’ lots would not be able to be developed until reticulated sewerage infrastructure becomes available. A title restriction can be used to limit development until the upgrade work has been completed by the developer to transfer sewage directly to the Yass Sewage Treatment Plant. Similarly more intense forms of residential development (e.g. dual occupancies, multi-unit developments) would need to be restricted until the appropriate upgrade works have been completed. A similar title restriction could be used to achieve this.

The proposed 62 residential lots will need to be integrated into Council’s existing sewer infrastructure system. An assessment of the proposal indicates that sewer from the proposed subdivision could be connected into the existing sewer system through a sewer pump station. A new sewer pump station will need to be designed and constructed as part of the subdivision to enable connection of the development to the reticulated sewerage system. The Applicant will be responsible for all costs involved in the design and connection of sewer services (including the sewer pump station).

Potable Water

The proposed subdivision requires connection to Council’s reticulated town water supply from the 250mm water main located at the corner of Laidlaw Street and Grampian Street. Connection to existing water mains must be in accordance with Council requirements and carried out by Council at developer’s cost.

It is important to note that only 62 residential lots would be able to connect to the reticulated network due to limitations of the existing capacity of the Council’s sewerage infrastructure system outlined above. This means the four ‘super’ lots are not able to be served with reticulated water supply until such time reticulated sewerage infrastructure has been upgraded. A title restriction can be used to limit development until the upgrade work has been completed.

Stormwater

No stormwater infrastructure is in place for the subject land, it drains via overland flow into the Yass River.

The Applicant has submitted a stormwater drainage concept plan in support of proposed subdivision. New stormwater infrastructure for the proposed subdivision is required to be installed throughout the proposed subdivision including an underground piped system with provision for overland flow paths to cater for a 1 in 100 year storm event.

In addition detailed drawings and calculations on how the stormwater flows will be captured and safely discharge are required. Drawings and calculations can be required for any approval that may issue for stormwater drainage including details of discharge of stormwater off the site (including quantities for various storm event and stormwater that falls on the site or enters the site from upstream), the potential downstream effects of such discharges and actions to ameliorate such effects.

Other Utilities

Satisfactory arrangements for the provision of electricity, telephone and natural gas facilities to the proposed lots is also required. These services are presently available in the locality and could be extended to service the proposed subdivision. The Applicant is responsible for any of the associated costs for the provision of these facilities.

Appropriate conditions for these utility services can be included in any approval that may issue.

4.6 Intersection Design

Access to all proposed lots will be via new roads to be constructed as part of the proposed subdivision. These new roads will integrate with the existing road network at a proposed new intersection with the Laidlaw Street.

The potential traffic generation from the whole subdivision area on the existing road network and the suitability of the Laidlaw Street intersection design has been considered. The design is generally acceptable subject to the submission of detailed engineering drawings for the construction of intersection together with truck turning templates, and details of truck access to other properties at this intersection.

4.7 Rail Corridor

Comments were sought from John Holland Rail Pty Ltd (who are responsible for managing the Country Regional Network railway lines across NSW including the rail corridor in this location).

The company has provided its requirements which can be included in any approval that may issue.

The proximity of residential development in relation to the rail corridor is required to be considered in relation to the Development Near Rail Corridors and Busy Roads – Interim Guideline (2008). The rail corridor has been closed for many years and is unlikely to be reopened to rail so will have minimal impact on future housing. In addition the rail corridor has been investigated as being converted to or incorporating a pedestrian/cycle way.
