Description
Meeting of Brimbank City Council primarily to consider the matter of a Heritage Overlay on the Sunshine Silos
A
Welcome
everyone,
tonight's
ordinary
council
meeting,
I'm
the
mayor,
councilloran
karasik.
I
declare
this
meeting
open
at
6
30
pm
this
meeting
is
being
live
stream
on
council
website.
Brimbank
city
council
does
not
record
the
details
of
members
of
the
public
review.
The
the
live
stream,
an
audio
and
video
recording
of
the
meeting
will
be
published
on
council's
website
after
the
meeting.
A
As
the
council
will
act
in
the
best
interests
of
the
brimbank
community
and
consider
the
immediate
and
long-term
impacts
of
our
decisions,
we
will
make
those
decisions
fairly
and
without
bias.
We
will
uphold
all
of
our
obligations
under
the
law
of
victoria
and
council's
local
laws
and
will
act
in
accordance
with
our
code
of
conduct.
A
A
And
item
6
we
have
our
officer
reports.
There
are
two
officer
reports
for
consideration
by
council
tonight.
So
first
report
is
6.1
amendments
c226,
brim,
interim
heritage,
overlay,
sunshine,
bali
terminal
silos,
which
we
will.
I
would
like
to
invite
director
kelvin
walsh,
to
talk
and
present
this
report.
Please.
B
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
So
the
purpose
of
this
report
is
for
council
to
consider
providing
support
for
a
ministerial
amendment
to
apply
the
heritage
overlay
to
the
sunshine
bali
terminal
station,
at
two
wright
street
in
sunshine,
for
an
interim
period
of
12
months,
and
also
to
give
me,
as
the
director
of
city
development
delegation,
to
seek
authorization
from
the
minister
for
planning
to
prepare
and
exhibit
an
amendment
and
amendment
to
the
brimbank
planning
scheme
to
apply
a
permanent
heritage
overlay
to
the
site.
B
While
the
proposed
protection
is
urgently
required,
as
council
has
received
a
demolition
request
in
relation
to
the
steel
silos
and
related
structures
on
the
site,
it
is
important
for
council
to
note
that,
since
publishing
the
agenda
and
this
report,
the
applicant
withdrew
the
demolition
application.
Yesterday,
the
13th
of
january,
the
owners
of
the
site
have
asked
me
to
advise
council
that
they
deeply
apologize
for
the
unnecessary
angst.
B
This
has
caused
and
advise
that
they
are
absolutely
committed
to
a
collaborative
approach
with
the
community
and
council
in
determining
the
future
role
the
site
will
play
in
the
fabric
of
sunshine
moving
forward.
They
advise
that
they
come
from
a
position
that
the
best
outcome
will
be
one
that
creates
a
meaningful
and
positive
impact
for
all
stakeholders.
B
However,
the
officer
recommendation
is
that
council
provides
support
to
the
minister
for
planning
to
prepare
the
planning
scheme.
Amendment
c2226
to
this,
to
include
the
sunshine
bali
terminal
at
two
wright
street
sunshine,
on
the
heritage
overlay
in
the
broombank
planning
scheme
for
an
interim
period
of
12
months,
as
outlined
in
the
explanatory
report
at
attachment
3,
and
that
the
minister
approves
the
the
amendment
in
accordance
with
section
20
part.
Four
of
the
planning
and
environment
act,
known
as
a
ministerial
amendment.
B
B
D
C
C
It
was
certainly
hoped
that
this
would
be
an
ongoing
amendment
procedure
to
look
at
including
this
site
or
consideration
of
this
site
as
a
as
a
heritage
site
and
at
the
time
a
procedure
was
put
in
place.
Should
we
detect
that
any
demolition
order
came
in
and,
and
that
was
supported
by
the
heritage
committee-
that
we
would
enact
a
more
urgent
approach
to
come
to
council
should
that
occur
now.
C
Regretfully,
that's
exactly
what
did
happen,
that
they've
lodged
their
demolition
order
on
the
the
not
the
concrete
silos,
but
the
metal
silos
and
other
works
relating
to
the
site,
and
that
has
then,
of
course,
been
picked
up
by
our
officers
and
triggered
this.
This
action,
which
has
resulted
in
a
special
counsel
meeting
and
certainly
a
very
detailed
report,
has
now
been
put
forward
by
the
officers.
C
D
D
Look
it's
in
2019
we
had
a.
We
had
the
the
sunshine
ceilings
projection.
That
was
the
victorian
connection
and
I
was
what
a
surprise
as
to
how
many
people
there
some
of
the
councils
remember,
I
think,
councillor
borg
was
there
a
council
of
virginia
tacos.
She
was
there
because
thousands
and
thousands
of
people
came
from
nowhere.
I
was
surprised
yes
and
I
I
think
they
loved
they
loved
the
silos
and
it's
our
job
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
him
as
we
go
along,
and
I
fully
support
the
report.
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you
me
in
the
words
of
local
community
historian,
tony
smith,
the
silos
book
and
our
city.
They
capture
the
recent
past,
but
also
our
aspirations
going
forward.
Not
only
are
they
iconic
from
a
heritage
point
of
view,
they
are
a
marker
of
the
labor
industrial
and
agriculture
history
of
our
city.
E
Three
important
points
I
wish
to
quickly
make
to
illustrate
this.
The
first
point
is
that
the
solos
are
built
and
located
in
the
historical
bray
brook
junction
railway
that
joins
victoria's
city
and
geelong,
ballarat
and
bendigo
regions
to
allow
transportation
and
storage
of
the
annual
barley
and
wheat
harvests.
E
The
second
point
is
the
strategic
connectivity
of
sunshine
to
rural
and
regional
areas
is
also
represented
historically
by
building
of
silos
at
both
two
wright
street
and
also
at
albion,
adjacent
to
the
the
heritage
listed
darling
flower
mills.
So
these
two
sets
of
silos
are
like
bookmarks
to
the
east
and
west
axis
of
sunshine
cbd
area
and
are
seen
as
iconic
landmarks
for
sunshine
and
albion's
future
joining
up
together
and
the
last.
A
F
F
I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
thank
first
of
all
the
members
of
the
community,
who
have
been
working
very
hard
to
make
sure
that
proper
processes
are
in
place
and
in
a
timely
manner,
especially
when
the
property
was
to
be
sold
and
the
chances
of
the
demolition
of
the
silos
were
very
high.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
kelvin
and
the
staff,
as
well
as
the
heritage
advisory
committee
of
the
last
council
term,
for
their
continuous
hard
work
and
for
mobilizing
the
very
quickly
this
meeting
and
to
provide
such
a
highly
informative
report.
