A
Welcome

karasik.

emergency

and
in
compliance

this
meeting
council
meeting
by
electronic

The
council

is
close
to
the
members
of
the
public
for
this
meeting.
A
A
On
behalf
of
brimbank
city
council,
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
the
traditional
custodians
of
this
land,
the
war,
injury,
people
and
para
respect
to
eldest
past
present
and
emerging.
I
ask
councillors
to
remain
standing
for
the
council
commitment
at
the
council.
We
will
act
in
the
best
interests
of
the
green
bank
community
and
consider
the
immediate
and
long-term
impact
of
our
decisions
will
make
these
decisions
fairly
and
without
bias.
We'll
uphold
all
of
our
obligation
under
the
laws
of
victoria
and
council's
local
laws
and
will
act
in
accordance
with
our
code
of
contact.
A
A
E
Yesterday,
mayor,
I
do
have
an
urgent,
an
item
of
urgent
business.
This
evening
I
have
an
urgent
report
from
director
kelvin
walsh,
regarding
a
proposed
development
at
21a.
Copenhagens
officers
had
intended
to
provide
feedback
on
the
proposed
development
under
the
delegated
authority.
Feedback
is
due
by
the
25th
of
october
2021.
E
In
order
for
council
to
consider
this
matter,
council
will
first
need
to
resolve
to
admit
the
item's
urgent
business.
This
can
only
occur
if
the
business
relates
to
or
arises
out
of,
a
matter
which
has
a
risen
distribution
of
the
agenda
and
cannot
safely
or
conveniently
be
deferred
until
the
next
council
meeting.
E
A
C
A
A
Before
I
pass
the
director
city
development
to
introduce
this
item,
I
would
like
to
make
some
comment
about
the
proposed
development
arts
21a
copernicus
way
in
pillow
downs.
It
is
important
to
make
some
comments
from
the
chair,
as
this
proposal
has
generated
a
lot
of
community
interest
and
brought
out
different
views
in
support
and
against
it.
A
New
housing
is
often
contentious
in
existing
neighborhoods,
and
the
council
is
always
keen
to
hear
the
views
of
the
community.
We
also
know
that
it
is
important
that
developers
and
developers
listen
to
the
community
in
preparing
their
proposals
so
that
they
understand
the
passion
that
exists
in
our
community
about
what
is
valued
in
our
local
areas.
A
As
a
council,
we
also
recognize
the
importance
of
providing
a
variety
of
household
types
to
ensure
all
members
of
our
community
have
access
to
housing,
matched
to
their
lifestyle
and
life
stage.
This
includes
recognizing
the
important
role
that
social
and
affordable
housing
plays
in
meeting
these
needs
of
many
in
our
community.
A
roof
over
your
head
is
a
fundamental
need
for
us
all
in
relation
to
their
buck
care
proposal.
What
is
important
to
mention
at
the
else
outset
is
that
council
is
not
the
decision
maker
in
relation
to
this
proposal.
A
What
I
clearly
have
heard
that
community
says
is
the
consultation
on
this
proposal
has
been
inadequate
and
the
community
has
not
had
time
to
consider
all
aspects
of
what
is
proposed.
There
is
a
lot
of
concern
about
the
density
of
the
proposal
and
how
it
will
fit
into
the
local
character
of
the
neighborhood.
A
There
are
concerns
about
whether,
if
approved,
there
is
adequate
car
parking
provided
with
the
development
and
whether
there
is
the
right
social
support
services
in
the
neighborhood
to
support
future
residents.
It
is
so
important
that
developers
listen
to
the
community
to
achieve
the
right
outcome
for
the
community.
A
F
F
5
to
the
report
that
you
have
officers
also
recommend
that
council
writes
to
the
minister
for
energy
environment
and
climate
change,
and
the
minister
for
planning
to
advise
the
council
has
provided
the
above
feedback
and
also
the
council
determines
to
publicly
release
this
report
with
attachments
and
councils
resolutions
at
noon
tomorrow.
Thank
you.
Madame
thank.
G
Hello,
so
calvin.
There
are
a
couple
of
concerns
raised
by
the
residents
in
the
area
in
relation
to
the
number
of
car
parks
provided,
as
well
as
the
potential
for
the
development
to
impact
on
the
services
in
the
area.
Can
you,
in
your
opinion,
like?
Can
you
explain
like
what
the
potential
developer
could,
how
it
could
impact
these
spaces
and
is
the
plan
adequate.
F
Sorry
about
that,
so
through
you,
madam
mayor,
the
the
assessment
that
is
attached
to
the
report
so
at
attachment
through
attachment
four
details,
the
the
requirements
that
are
in
in
the
planning,
you
know
the
assessment
against
the
requirements
of
the
planning
scheme
residents
did
raise
concerns
about
car
parking
and
the
like.
However,
our
assessment
has
determined
that
they
have
19
excess
car
parking
spaces
and
that
is
detailed
in
the
assessment
attached.
F
F
H
F
So
through
you
madame
thank
you
councillor
david,
so
the
report
does
detail
that
the
the
the
this
proposal
is
being
advertised
under
the
victoria's
big
housing
bill,
build
and
in
relation
to
that,
the
notification
requirements
are
different
to
what
would
be
expected
of
a
standard
planning
application.
However,
they
they
did
provide
a
sign
on
the
site
and
did
provide
a
notification
to
surrounding
areas
again.
B
F
I
Thank
you,
madame
just
a
quick
question
about
traffic
generation.
With
this
social
housing,
normal
houses,
you
would
expect
about
10
vehicle
movements
per
day
from
a
house
with
this
type
of
housing.
Do
we
have
an
idea
of
the
number
of
vehicle
movements
per
dwelling
that
this
type
of
social
housing
would
would
incur.
F
Through
you,
madame,
I
am
just
I
refer
councillors
to
the
the
full
assessment
in
attachment
r4
and
within
that
attachment.
We
do
speak
to
the
the
access
and
how
it
complies
with
the
the
requirements
of
the
the
brim
bank
planning
scheme
in
terms
of
the
measures
that
are
applied
by
the
comments
by
the
the
the
traffic
engineers.
F
J
K
A
C
Please,
madam
mayor,
I
submit
this
amended
motion
on
behalf
of
the
community.
To
date,
the
community
has
responded
with
over
1100
signatures
on
a
petition.
The
residents
are
not
opposing
social
housing.
They
are
concerned
with
the
scale
and
density
of
this
development.
The
main
concerns
of
the
community
are
lack
of
community
consultation.
C
Only
the
neighbors
who
live
within
150
metres
of
the
proposed
construction
were
notified.
The
construction
process
also
lacked
sensitivity
to
the
demographic
background
of
the
residents.
A
majority
of
those
living
in
killer
downs
represent
an
elderly
demographic,
including
those
within
150
meters,
most
have
english
as
their
second
language,
and
the
flyer
was
not
distributed
in
any
other
language.
Apart
from
english,
also
social
infrastructure,
amenity
and
access.
C
In
the
recent
consultation
meeting,
bapcare
claimed
they
surveyed
struggling
melbournians
around
the
topic
of
their
suburb
of
choice
reporting,
the
overwhelming
majority
indicated
killer
downs
as
their
preference.
Most
residents
are
questioning
the
transparency
of
this
claim
and
request
victorian
government
assistance
in
obtaining
the
survey
results
to
verify
the
above
to
date.
This
information
remains
unavailable,
unclear
and
unverified
of
fact,
there's
also
a
concern
with
density
and
the
impact
of
traffic
and
covert
19..
The
addition
of
47
units
in
a
clustered
fashion
will
add
to
traffic
congestion
and
social
distancing
concerns.
C
Bring
bank
is
considered
one
of
the
areas
where
covert
19
positive
cases
remain
really
high.
There
are
currently
over
1400
cases
of
coronavirus
in
bring
bank.
I
understand
this.
I
understand
social
housing
is
a
pressing
issue
and
required
within
the
community.
However,
specifically
in
killer
downs,
we
also
have
an
aging
population.
Many
vulnerable
elderly
residents
and
members
of
the
community
living
with
a
disability
also
require
urgent
assistance.
The
community
welcomes
the
inclusion
of
an
aged
care
facility
catering
for
the
most
vulnerable
of
residents.
C
The
community
has
indicated
they
would
support
a
development
with
the
number
of
human
units
limited
to
37
one-bedroom
dwellings
to
cater
specifically
for
the
elderly
or
those
with
a
disability.
The
development
should
also
provide
for
more
separation
between
the
darlings
dwellings
to
preserve
the
neighborhood
character.
It
should
include
more
open
space,
a
small
park
and
additional
canopy
tree
planting
on
the
site,
improved
connections
to
local
support
services,
I.e
a
carers
hub
exercise,
equipment
and
garden
beds.
C
The
site
has
a
proposed
aged
care
facility,
therefore,
units
or
social
housing
specifically
for
this
demographic
would
be
in
line
with
a
community
requirement
and
also
reduce
the
number
of
cars
and
intern
congestion
on
site,
transforming
the
precinct
into
a
hub
for
the
elderly,
with
30
or
so
self-contained
units
and
an
on-site
aged
care
facility.
The
extra
space
could
be
used
to
deliver
much-needed
services
to
our
community.
C
A
C
Spaces
trees
units
that
are
not
packed
in
like
sardines.
This
piece
of
land
has
the
opportunity
to
become
an
innovative
and
functional
community
asset,
trees,
garden
beds,
gym
equipment
and
facilities,
specifically
catering
for
the
elderly
and
those
with
a
disability.
The
residents
are
not
against
social
housing.
They
are
against
the
sheer
density
of
this
development.
The
changes
proposed
to
this
development
have
the
ability
to
transform
this
precinct
into
a
development.
The
community
can
support
and
be
proud
of,
offering
the
best
care
for
residents
in
a
location
they
can
be
proud
to
call
home.
C
I
call
on
the
state
government
to
review
our
submission
and
put
profits
aside
to
consider
the
requirements
and
requests
of
the
community.
The
residents
are
outraged
over
the
lack
of
consultation
and
transparency.
I
urge
my
fellow
councillors
to
support
the
residents
of
bringbank
to
listen
and
act
on
their
concerns.
Please
support
our
community.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you,
madame
yeah,
I'd
just
like
to
support
the
words
presented
by
councillor
kerr,
and
I
think
that,
fundamentally,
this
is
not
about
being
against
social
housing.
It
is,
however,
a
concern
that
these
more
of
these
types
of
decisions
are
being
made
by
the
state
government
without
any
proper
consultation
with
our
community.
D
Our
community,
when
we
are
the
planning
authority,
have
expectations
that
they're
involved
and
engaged
in
the
process,
whereas
from
the
outset
this
feels
as
if
it's
been
imposed
on
our
community
and
as
as
maria
said,
this
is
not
against
social
housing.
It's
about
amenity
and
ensuring
that
the
community
has
got
the
support
services
around
it.
D
Also,
we
are
increasingly
an
aged
community
where
there
is
no
independent
living
units,
and
this
would
be
a
great
opportunity
to
integrate
that
as
well.
Social
housing,
I
believe,
is
best
when
integrated
in
the
community
and
not
singled
out
into
a
one
project
type
high
density
project,
so
in
in
essence,
I
support
councillor
kerr's
proposal
because
it
finds
a
middle
ground
where
we
can
support
our
community,
our
vulnerable
community,
but
also
ensure
that
there
are
the
support
services
around
them
to
support
them.
Thank
you.
D
D
I
am
of
the
opinion
that
every
house
you
take
away.
That's
one
more
person
who
doesn't
get
supported
housing
and
you
don't
get
out
of
homelessness
without
a
safe
place
to
live.
It's
just
impossible,
it's
it.
It
can't
be
done,
and
so
I
think
any
reduction
in
social
housing
is
leaving
someone
to
to
fend
for
themselves.
B
Thanks,
madame
I'm
also
speaking
against
this
amended
motion.
Look.
This
is
a
really
tough
situation
and
I
really
do
hear
the
concerns
from
our
community
and
residents.
I
agree.
The
consultation
in
this
process
has
been
poor
and
I
believe
council
should
express
concern
with
the
way
that
that
has
been
handled.
B
I
think
this
project
presents
diverse
housing
so
from
what
I've
read,
there's
13
homes
that
are
specific
to
singles,
23
of
which
are
single
story
and
the
other
12
of
which
are
double
story.
I
think
housing
is
a
barrier
to
so
many
things,
including
employment,
and
it's
one
of
our
council
priorities.
So
I'm
sorry,
mary,
I
can't
support
the
amended
motion.
Thank
you.
L
G
To
to
propose
that
you
know
just
to
not
reduce
the
number
of
dwellings
but
to
keep
those
additional
amenities
if
possible,
if
that's
reasonable
and
perhaps
consider
fair
analysis,
if
if
it
is
required
to
reduce
it
or
not
like
sorry,
if
that's
like
clear
this,
can
you
guys
just
put
this
on
the
screen,
so
we
can
just
type
it
out?
Can
we.
A
A
I
I
M
M
It
is
up
to
the
minister
of
plan
of
our
planning
to
decide
what
I
suggest
is
if
we
could
submit
the
promotion
with
the
37
and
the
additional
f
that
those
10
10
housing
which
have
been
deducted
on
this
site,
be
spread
out
within
bring
back
canada's
site
which
will
which
they
are
at
the
moment
developing
as
well.
So
we
just
will
spread
out
evenly
we're
not
that
way,
we're
not
losing
any
housing
in
our
municipality
just
for
this
site
just
to
be
to
if
there's
a
past,
if
that's
makes.
A
E
Thank
you,
madam
mick.
I
just
want
to
clarify.
I
don't
believe
you
can
accept
the
amended
motion
as
being
put
forward
by
councillor
newman
under
our
governance
rules.
The
the
amendment
must
not
directly
be
opposite
to
the
motion
and
I
think
an
amendment
that
tries
to
go
back
to
the
original
number
of
units
or
house
or
dwellings,
but
still
do
part
b,
is
not
really
consistent
with
the
original
motion.
C
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
just
want
to
respond
to.
I
guess.
What's
been
spoken
about
now.
First
of
all,
I
have
1100
signatures
from
the
community
opposing
this
development.
There's
a
possibly
approximately
10
000
residents
within
killer
downs.
1100
people
have
opposed
this
development
they're,
not
opposing
social
housing.
I
have
lived
in
killer
down
since
1986.
C
I
lived
next
door
to
a
social
house,
my
entire
life.
This
house
is
on
a
600
mess,
600
square
meter
block,
and
these
residents
lived
with
dignity
and
space.
I
don't
believe
that,
just
because
someone
has
to
live
in
social
housing,
they
need
to
be
sardined
and
compacted
into
these
tiny
units.
They
deserve
the
same
dignity
as
everybody
else.
In
the
community
killer.
Downs
has
over
20
social
homes.
Already
in
kilo
downs
sitting
on
600
square
meter
blocks.
C
These
homes
are
original
from
the
1980s,
they
can
be
knocked
down
and
they
can
be
put
two
or
three
units
on
each
of
these
properties
that
will
more
than
accommodate
for
the
number
of
people
that
would
miss
out
on
these
social
housings.
It
would
mean
that
these
people
in
the
community
are
integrated
within
the
community.
They're
living
a
normal
life
they're,
not
compacted
in
like
sardines.
C
C
Thank
you.
This
is
an
aging
population.
We
need
to
cater
for
the
most
disadvantaged
in
our
community.
These
are
the
elderly.
These
are
people
living
with
disabilities.
These
are
people
that
need
to
be
close
to
amenities,
medical
facilities,
I'm
not.
We
are
not
against
social
housing.
We
are
about
integrating
social
housing
into
the
greater
community,
we're
not
about
succumbing
to
the

government,

is
pushing
these
projects
into
the
safe
seat
in
the
in
this
area.
Our
residents
have
spoken
eleven
hundred
residents,
and
I
urge
the
councillors
to
support
this.
Thank
you.

A

it

to
meet
their
basic
needs
and
including
food
and

marginalized
groups
such
as
women,

Brimbank
housing
strategy
notes
that
housing
affordability
is
not
just
about
the
price
of
housing,
but
also
its
location.
N
The
site
for
the
proposed
social
housing
is
adjacent,
as
already
mentioned,
to
a
large
shopping
center.
That
includes
a
medical
center
and
a
variety
of
food,
retailers
and
other
services.
It
is
also
a
few
meters
away
from
the
future
aquatic
and
wellness
center,
which
will
provide
a
variety
of
health
and
well-being
services.
I
would
also
like
to
point
out
that
the
proposed
buildings
most
of
them
can
be
used
for
people
with
disability,
especially
the
one
the

Hello,
madam
mayor,
I
would
like
to
speak
against
the
question
before
I
was
just
requesting
to
provide
an
amendment.
Look.
Unfortunately,
I
would
have
to
speak
against
this.
This
version,
due
to
the
reasons
mentioned
before
social
housing,
is
required.
It's
needed
a
beanbag
as
as
counterpart
I've
mentioned
before.
Burnbank
is
the
minnesota
with
the
highest
rates
of
homelessness
in
melbourne's
west,
and
I
totally
agree
that
the
house
that
we
provide
needs
to
be
adequate
for
people
with
disabilities
and
for
the
elderly
as
well,
but
social
housing.
G
There
is
a
very
diverse
number
of
people
who
need
social
housing
and,
furthermore,
based
on
the
answers
to
the
questions
I
asked
before
with
director
kevin
walsh,
it's
showing
that
there
is
adequate
car
parking.
In
fact,
there
is
a
surplus
of
19
car
spots
and
also
it
will
be
in
close
amenity
to
the
services
that
are
needed
for
the
community,
which
is
you
know,
nearby.
The
the
medical
hub,
the
the
care
services
nearby.
A
I
will
appoint
a
water
for
all
of
you,
because
everyone
had
counselor
had
a
two
minutes
right.
A
reply
and
council
borg
already
spoke
counsel.
I
knew
and
tried
to
amend
that
motion,
so
you
speak
into
this
motion.
Counselor
clears
motion.
You've
got
one
minute
and
30
seconds
so
use
it
wisely.
Thank
you.
G
H
Thank
you,
madame
erin,
I'm
a
little
bit
confused
as
we
work
very
hard
as
counselors
and
officers
and
our
directors
for
the
the
last
two
years.
Now
and
six
months
ago
we
started,
or
just
before
six
months
we
started
our
plan
for
the
whole
next
four
years
and
every
time
we
met
consultations
with
residents
and
all
the
word,
affordable,
housing
came
up
every
time
every
time,
and
I
I
up
in
all
respect
to
council
of
care,
and
I
understand
it's
it's
her
area.
It's
a
war
cancelled
there.
H
H
I
fear
for
the
future
of
kilo
downs.
If
this
proposal
is
approved
and
built,
putting
aside
these
desired
social
circumstructures
that
will
flow.
What
is
what
what
a
waste
of
an
otherwise
perfect
block
of
land
that
could
be
used
to
improve
the
area
even
more?
Why
can
we
use
it
for
restaurants,
cafes,
cinemas,
like
the
stations
trading
water
gardens?
So
in
other
words,
they
don't
want
anything
like
that,
even
housing
at
all
or
whatever.
So
look.
H
H
I
I
And,
of
course,
I
can
relate
to
the
residents
in
thornhill
drive
having
that
amount
of
access
through
their
area.
It's
been
basically
almost
a
court
bowl
and
now
they've
got
this
large
development.
So
I
can
understand
why
we've
got
the
objections
that
we've
got
and
some
local
concerns
so
that
it's
a
complex
issue
to
deal
with,
and
I
think
when
it
really
boils
down
to
it
from
all
the
comments
that
have
been
made
by
my
fellow
councillors.
I
I
have
to
say
that
I
would
support
the
officer's
recommendation
and
but
certainly
voice.
My
concern
of
the
lack
of
consultation
that
has
occurred,
taking
it
out
of
our
hands
by
the
state
government
is,
is
a
real
disappointment
upsetting
to
our
residents
and
make
sure
and
ensures
that
we
have
very
little
standing
in
terms
of
our
input.
One
minute
left.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
and
very
little
input
into
the
design
issues.
However,
having
said
that,
I
would
have
to
agree
with
the
sentiments
raised
of
supporting
the
officer
recommendation.
A
A
C
I
would
like
to
ask
the
officers
what
is
going
to
be
done
about
the
lack
of
transparency,
the
lack
of
consultation
to
our
residents.
The
majority
of
residents
in
the
area
did
not
receive
the
letter
and
if
they
did
receive
the
letter,
they
could
not
read
the
letter
because
it
wasn't
in
their
first
language.
So
what
are
we
going
to
do
as
a
council
to
support
our
residents.
F
Motion
at
part
b,
so
council
may
a
counselor
who
moves.
The
motion
may
wish
to
request
that
the
proponents
are
required
to
undertake
additional
consultation
with
the
local
community
community
as
per
what
councilor
kerr
included
in
her
in
her
proposed
motion.
That's
currently
under
debate,
but
of
course
I
would
leave
that
to
council
to
determine.
C
F
Through
you,
madam
mayor,
as
I
advised
in
introducing
the
the
matter,
the
council
is
not
the
responsible
authority
for
this
for
this.
In
relation
to
this
matter,
the
the
department
of
environment,
land
order
and
planning
through
the
planning
scheme
has
set
the
process
in
relation
to
big,
build
big
housing,
build
programs,
and
therefore
it
is
a
matter
for
the
the
state.
M
F
A
No
we're
discussing
counselor
curse,
amended
motion
still
and
I
would
like
before
we
go
to
the
votes.
I
would
like
to
ask
governance
to
share
counselor
kerr's
motion
again
on
the
screen.
Please,
so
everyone
is
sure
of
that's
it.
Saran
can
have
a
second
read
and
just
make
sure
they
understood
everything.
A
A
I
L
I
I
I
We
I
believe
we
would
do
that
if
we'd
been
able
to
have
a
normal
time
frame
for
and
normal
responsibilities
as
a
responsible
authority
to
consider
this
matter.
So
I
I
do
support
the
additional
consultation
given
the
deal.
The
the
considerable
degree,
sorry
of
public
concern
to
undertake
that
additional
public
consultation.
So
thank
you,
madam
man,.
A
M
Mommy
I'll
just
welcome
her
constantly
she's
amendment.
I
do
agree.
We
need
more
consultations,
just
so
the
rest
and
know
that
this
is
not
the
only
site
which
social
housing
or
foreign
housing
is
under
the
big
bill
in
our
city.
There's
other
water.
I
haven't
seen
my
site
and
I
hope
they'll
have
similar
concentration
service
and
understand,
what's
going
on
and
also
hopefully
living
different
language
as
well,
not
just
english,
just
to
make
it
work
more
transparent
or
people
know.
What's
going
on,
that's
it!
Thank
you.
Man.
H
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
I'm
not
against
the
the
mother
and
secondary
such,
but
I
think
this
type
of
happiness
consultations
happens
before
actually
permit
before
the
reports
come
before
the
consulates.
What
we're
doing
now,
we
are
we're
organizing
a
wall,
that's
what
it
is:
a
community
world.
That's
what
we're
organizing!
Let's
try
to
understand
that.
That's
what
that's
what
will
happen!
Thank
you.
Madame.
G
Yeah,
I
would
just
like
to
say
like
yeah:
the
community
does
need
more
consultation,
but
look,
I
think
we
as
a
council
should
be
thinking
about
the
community
as
a
whole.
We
need
to
think
about
the
social
interests
of
everyone
and
there
are
people
out
there
who
don't
have
a
voice
or
are
not
as
very
cool.
So
I
support
bruce's
emotion.
Thank
you.
A
C
C
I
think
that
these
issues
are
best
resolved
by
people
that
are
actually
affected
personally,
and
I
think
it's
really
easy.
To
put
your
hand
up,
like
you
know,
councillor
jasmine
newen
lives
in
taylor's
lakes.
Council
of
bruce
lancashiel
lives
in
taylor's
lakes.
No
one
else
lives
in
killer
downs.
I
live
in
killer
downs.
I
understand
the
demographics
I've
been
in
this
area
since
1986.
C
A
A

A
A
A
A
We're
going
to
go
to
item
nine
now,
which
is
public
question
time.
Mr
sicalia,
I
understand
we
have
received
questions
from
members
of
the
public.
We
have
received
significant
numbers
of
questions
and
may
not
have
time
in
this
meeting
to
read
out
the
readout
and
answer
them
all
offices
will
provide
written
response
to
those
questions.
We
do
not
have
time
to
read
out
and
answer
in
this
meeting.
L
L
The
second
question
is
from
bridget
strauss,
who
asks
council's
submission
to
the
western
region.
Land
use
framework
plan
makes
it
clear
on
page
five,
that
in
solemn
heights
the
environmental
values
are
so
significant.
They
may
not
be
able
to
be
developed.
Is
it
now
council's
position
that
no
development
will
ever
be
committed
at
solomon
heights?
Given
that
council
has
nominated
solomon
heights
as
a
regionally
significant
industrial
precinct
with
significant
impediments
to
development,
there
are
nearly
200
solemn
heights
landowners
who
will
be
affected
by
such
a
significant
change
in
council
policy
who
have
not
been
consulted.
A
No,
it's
not
council's
position
that
that
no
development
will
ever
be
permitted
at
solomon
heights.
However,
landowners
would
be
required
to
undertake
further
investigations,
such
as
an
environmental
strategic
assessment
to
determine
the
development
potential.
If
any
of
the
solomon
heights
precinct.
L
The
second
question
from
bridges
strauss
madame
mayor,
is
if
no
development
is
ever
intended
to
be
permitted
at
solomon
heights.
When
will
council
undertake
a
compulsory
acquisition
of
the
affected
lots?
Many
landowners
have
owned
their
lots
for
several
decades
and
have
incurred
a
significant
economic
opportunity
cost
for
being
unable
to
develop
their
land.
A
clear
decision
on
this
issue
from
council
once
and
for
all
is
sufficiently
needed.
L
L
Kathy
song's
submission
does
not
contain
a
question
and
the
submission
will
not
be
read
out
and
a
response
will
not
be
provided
at
this
meeting.
The
next
question,
madam
mayor,
is
from
tim
everett,
who
asks
today.
I
went
for
a
walk
along
corduroy
creek
and
just
before
the
boulevard
on
kimberly
road,
I
found
two
dead
lizards.
I
suspect
they
have
died
due
to
poison,
as
it
was
two
weeks
ago
that
this
area
was
sprayed.

next
question

suggested
in
line
with
what
other

are
doing.

The
next
question,
madam

is
from
graham
law
who
asks
given
that
development

victoria
have
committed
only
3
100
trees

explore
other
sources
for
further
tree
numbers
to
address
the
major

next
question,

from
jamie

who
asks
given
the
upcoming

the
last

penultimate
question,
madam

great
one,
38
million
on
sporting
facilities,
amazing,
which
I
suspect
that
includes
the
orc,
bring
bank
wellness
center
and
my
favorite
is
1.37
million
for
improvements
to
community
facilities
such
as
neighborhood
houses,
libraries
and
children's
centers.
I
think
that's
great.
N
Thank
you
madame.
This
is
quite
a
comprehensive
report.
I
thoroughly
enjoyed
going
through
it
having
been
involved
in
the
development
of
the
council
plan,
2017
2021,
its
greater
city
council,
achieving
its
objectives
and
completing
the
actions
and
activities
that
it
set
out
to
to
achieve,
considering
the
kovit
19
pandemic
and
its
implications.
N
A
I
declare
it
carried
so
we're
going
to
go
to
a
12.2
final
draft.
Together
we
are
bring
bank
council
plan,
2021,
2025,
community
vision,
2040
municipal
public
health
and
well-being
plan
after
much
work
and
a
collaborative
debate,
I'm
very
pleased
to
be
introducing
the
new
council
plan
and
community
vision,
2021-2050
titled.
Together
we
are
brim
bank.
We
should
be
very
proud
of
together.
A
I
would
like
to
thank
everyone
who
has
taken
the
time
to
share
their
aspirations
and
ideas
which
has
have
been
used
as
the
foundation
of
this
plan
and
who
have
provided
feedback
about
the
draft.
We
are
much
appreciate,
appreciate
your
contribution
that
has
inspired
this
work.
Thank
you
now,
I'll
just
ask.
D
Madam
mayor,
the
local
government
act
2020
requires
councils
to
have
adopted
both
a
community
vision
and
council
plan
by
the
31st
of
october
2021,
in
line
with
the
public
health
and
wellbeing
act.
2008
councils
are
also
required
to
renew
their
municipal
public
health
and
well-being
plan
every
four
years.
D
A
D
Yeah,
it's
really
exciting
that
mental
health
was
one
of
my
big
priorities
going
into
being
a
counselor
and
then
defined
that
it's
a
big
priority
for
pretty
much
well.
I
think
the
whole
council
and
now
the
first
priority
in
the
health
and
wellness
portion
of
this
plan
is
to
support
improved
mental
well-being.
And,
although
it's
a
new
space
for
council
to
be
moving
into-
and
it's
not
local
government's
responsibility,
I'm
really
excited
that
we're
being
proactive
and
finding
ways
that
we
can
interact
in
that
space.
A
D
Thanks,
madam
mayor,
only
to
support
what
council
branson
said,
but
I
also
I'm
seeking
what
the
feedback
of
the
community
is,
which
is
really
supportive,
as
we
weave
this
into
what
what
our
own
strategies
are.
So
some
of
the
things
that
were
brought
up
by
the
community
was
information
about
the
sunshine
priority
precinct
vision,
2050,
strengthening
brimbank's
heritage
values
is
an
important
priority.
D
A
N
Thank
you
madame
great,
to
see
this
final
draft
of
this
document
coming
to
council
for
endorsement.
It
incorporates
a
compelling
vision
that
captures
aspirations
for
brimbank
community
for
the
next
four
years.
As
stated
in
this
document,
people
people
and
community
are
the
heart
of
brimbank.
There
is
a
strong
focus
on
health
and
well-being
inclu,
including
mental
health,
climate
change
and
its
impact
on
health
and
increasing
healthy
eating,
active
living
and
physical
activity
supporting
increased
gender
equality
and
reducing
gentle-based
based
violence
is
also
a
priority,
so
is
support
economic
and
social
inclusion
at
a
glance.
N
A
F
No
thank
you.
Madame.
The
purpose
of
the
report
is
to
provide
council
information
on
the
status
of
planning,
permit
applications
and
trends
in
planning
approvals
in
brimbank
and
decisions
made
under
delegated
authority
during
september
2021
regarding
planning,
permit
applications
and
other
matters.
The
officers
recommend
the
council
notes
the
activity
report
and
the
delegated
decisions
included
at
attachment
one
to
this
report.
Thank
you.
Madame.
I
A
A
F
A
A
F
Thank
you,
amanda
man.
The
purpose
of
this
report
is
to
provide
council
with
an
assessment
of
develop
of
the
development
plan,
application
p138
forward,
slash
2020
and
the
concurrent
planning
application
p341
forward,
slash
2020
for
the
purpose
of
use
and
development
of
the
land
for
a
residential
aged
care
facility
with
the
melbourne
within
the
melbourne
airport,
environs
overlay
schedule,
2,
a
removal
of
native
vegetation
and
access
alterations
to
a
road
in
a
road
zone
category
one
at
32a,
green,
gully,
road,
key
law.
F
The
officer's
recommendation
is
that
council
consents
to
the
approval
of
the
development
plan
as
based
on
the
plans
and
attachment
for
consents
to
the
granting
of
the
planning
permit
rp
341
2020,
as
detailed
in
the
introduction
and
advises
vcat,
the
applicant
melbourne
airport
and
all
submitters.
The
council
consents
to
the
approvals
and
rights
to
the
head
of
transport
for
victoria,
requesting
the
counts
of
the
consideration
be
given
to
installing
a
signalized
intersection
on
green
gully
road.
Thank
you,
madam
moon.
I
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
The
we
had,
of
course,
the
planning
forum
and
the
developers
spoke
at
the
planning
forum,
and
submitters
objectors
also
spoke.
So
I
would
certainly
like
to
start
by
thanking
all
those
that
made
submissions
to
councillors.
It
was
much
appreciated
and
very
informative,
complicated
site
with
a
development
plan
and
planning
permit,
and
certainly
a
long,
complicated
history.
I
The
difficulty
in
negotiations,
of
course,
with
the
airport,
and
I
understand
that
the
airport
has
withdrawn
their
objection
to
it
as
the
a
rather
large
portion
of
the
back
of
the
site
is
set
aside
as
non-residential
as
open
space
with
access
permeating
through
to
the
adjoining
park.
So
it
is
not
a
gated
community,
it
is
a
community
which
is
accessible
for
people
to
wander
through
from
the
park
and
from
adjoining
areas
through
the
site.
I
I
particularly
like
the
concept
of
the
the
single
story,
units
and
the
nursing
home
being
a
little
bit
older
as
I
am,
but
I
must
admit
for
a
long
long
time.
I
have
supported
the
concept
of
being
able
to
retire
and
live
close
to,
particularly
with
you.
If
you,
my
one
partner,
moves
into
a
nursing
home,
the
idea
that
you
could
do
that
and
still
be
nearby
a
loved
one
is
a
very
appealing
concept
and
it
doesn't
happen
all
that.
I
I
D
Yeah,
I
also
attended
the
planning
forum
forum
and
I've
read
all
the
submissions,
and
I
understand
that
people
do
have
concerns
whenever
a
development
like
this
happens
in
terms
of
the
traffic
management
concerns
with
green
gully
being
a
very
high
volume
traffic
road.
However,
madame
one
of
the
roles
of
council
is
to
look
at
our
service
delivery
from
cradle
to
aged
care
and
the
full
life
cycle.
D
As
we
say
of
services,
and
one
of
the
most
integral
issues
we
have
at
the
moment
is
an
inadequate
facility
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
aged
population,
particularly
in
the
key
law
area.
There
is
a
growing
need
for
aged
care
facilities
in
kilo
and
surrounds
and
after
attending
the
planning
forum,
but
also
reading
the
report.
I
am
satisfied
that
this
development
plan
for
age
care
facility
is
needed
desperately
needed.
D
D
The
preservation
and
conservation
of
solomon
drive
was
also
a
priority
for
myself.
I
know
that
this
reserve
is
dearly
loved
by
the
local
community
and
has
been
looked
after
by
the
the
local
community
and
will
continue
to
do
so.
It
will
create
great
enjoyment
for
many
of
the
people
from
the
aged
care
who
can
also
visit
this,
so
I'm
I
fully
endorse
this
by
by
council.
Thank
you.
A
N
Thank
you,
madame
brimbank
is
experiencing
an
aging
population
as
such.
This
proposed
aging
facility
is
much
needed
in
the
area.
A
number
of
amendments
have
been
made
to
the
proposal
since
the
original
applications
were
refused.
In
addition,
the
planning
permit
is
also
subject
to
conditions
in
relation
to,
but
not
limited
to,
car
parking,
omnity
aged
care,
landscaping
and
environmental
sustainable
design.
I
therefore
support
this
report.
Thank
you.
M
Thank
you,
madam
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
As
just
look
at
curl
with
my
councillors.
It's
obviously,
obviously
that
our
city,
minnesota
valley,
has
an
aging
population.
There's
no
doubt
about
that.
It's
not
just
key
law,
it's
the
whole
municipality,
all
the
way
down
to
the
south.
It's
an
aged
community
and
we
do
need
the
city
like
this.
So
I'd
like
to
in
and
said
that.
M
M
But
you
must
understand
that
there
are
residents
who
has
grew
up
in
this
area
and
once
they
have
come
to
the
states
where
they
need
to
go
to
18th
city,
they
do
not
want
to
travel
a
far
distance
away
from
their
home,
the
location
where
they
grew
up
with
or
living
and
then
their
finality
of
the
place.
So
in
the
you
know,
disability,
we
need
aged
care
facilities
or
older,
a
whole
spectrum,
not
just
one
area.
So
I
welcome
this
and
and
that's
full
of
support,
a
little
emotion.
C
C
Apart
from
this
proposal,
being
private,
there's
also
a
requirement
for
public
aged
care
facilities
also,
so
I
just
like
to
make
that
point
all
these
counselors
supporting
this,
but
also
you
know,
obviously,
there's
a
requirement
for
aged
care
facilities
for
everybody
to
attain,
not
just
people
that
can
afford
to
be
in
private
facilities.
Thank
you.
C
A
F
Thank
you
again,
mattapan.
The
purpose
of
this
report
is
to
provide
council
with
an
assessment
of
the
planning
application,
p58
2021
for
the
construction
of
four
double-story
dwellings
at
nine
borough
crescent
taylor's
lakes,
against
the
provisions
of
the
brimbank
planning
scheme
officers
recommend
to
council
that
they
issue
a
notice
of
decision
to
grant
the
planning
permit
subject
to
a
range
of
conditions
that
are
detailed
in
attachment
5
to
the
report.
Thank
you,
madam.
I
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Again.
As
with
the
previous
application,
we
had
the
pleasure
of
the
meeting
the
applicant
and
objectors
and
hearing
their
points
of
view,
and
we
very
much
again
appreciate
the
information
that
these
people
provided
in
helping
us
form
our
decision
in
relation
to
this
proposal.
I
There
are
substantial
setbacks
along
the
south
western
boundary
and
setbacks
from
adjoining
residential
boundaries.
So
I
think
the
end
result
that
has
been
negotiated
here
is
a
definite
improvement
over
the
earlier
version.
I
do
appreciate
there
were
still
objections
to
it,
but
it
is
certainly
an
improvement.
So
on
that
basis
I
would
recommend
my
fellow
councillors
the
officer's
recommendation.
Thank
you,
madam
man.
M
You
man
yeah.
Thank
you.
It's
not
very
often
that
planning
application
that
should
come
to
councils,
mainly
because
we
can't
council
explain
a
lot
of
objections
and
having
observed
this
and
kind
of
planning
for
them
and
seen
the
original
plan
and
this
current
plan,
it's
very
encouraging
to
see
the
good
work.
The
officers
are
facilitating
with
the
applicants
to
get
hong
kong
rejection
to
this
current
plan,
and
it's
it's
very
encouraging
that
those
planned
us.
M
It
doesn't
go
to
council
that
I
know
it
is
mostly
plain
approved:
I'm
not
rubber
stamp,
because
it's
a
good
example
of
it.
I've
seen
I'm
very
conscious
of
listening
to
privacies
lessons
to
look
like
and
having
to
review
both
plan.
The
original
plan
and
the
current
plan
now
and
not
be
the
deduction
and
the
room
has
done
with
the
the
council's
staffers
facilitate
with
the
the
applicants,
it's
very
encouraging
to
see
and
understand
a
serious
objection
and
with
the
development.
M
Unfortunately
it
it's
ongoing
development
and
facility
will
be
continued
to
develop
with
housing,
but
with
the
submission.
Now
it's
quite
adequate,
we'll
listen
to
the
applicant's
submission
and
I
fully
support
the
lesson
to
the
applicants
at
the
moment.
I
hope
the
councils
review
and
supports
it
as
well.
Thank
you.
C
C
You
know,
a
lovely
tree-lined
street
full
of
young
families
and
people
have
purchased
these
properties,
knowing
that
they
have
purchased
large
blocks,
and
you
know
without
the
idea
of
development
in
mind,
and
I'd
really
like
to
you
know,
keep
the
integrity
of
this
area
and
the
character
of
this
area.
So
I
strongly
oppose
this
development.
Thank
you.
N
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
I'm
happy
to
support
this
report.
Changes
have
been
made
to
the
consider
the
plans
to
address
the
shortcomings
which
were
previously
identified
by
vket.
The
application
is
subject
to
further
conditions
that
need
to
be
met.
The
report
includes
a
detailed
assessment
which
I
believe
has
the
strategic
justification
and
policy
support.
I
A
F
Thank
you
madame.
The
purpose
of
this
report
is
for
council
to
consider
the
final.
The
final
draft
submission
to
the
department
of
environmental
land,
water
and
planning's
western
metro
land
use
framework
plan,
as
shown
at
attachment
one
in
the
agenda
papers.
The
officer
recommendation
is
that
council
endorses
the
submission
at
attachment
1
and
enables
us
to
submit
it
to
delp
by
the
engagement
website
by
the
24th
of
october.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
D
A
few
words
madam
mayor
I'd
like
to
thank,
firstly
kelvin
and
his
staff
for
such
a
great
submission.
I
attended
this
forum,
which
was
quite
interesting
madame,
but
on
one
level
I
felt
it
missed
in
capturing
the
great
potential
which
exists
in
the
west
and
indeed
the
importance
that
this
council
retain
its
very
strategic
planning
role
and
planning
powers.
D
For
me,
the
biggest
issue
and
take
out
from
this
particular
forum
was
integrated
transport.
There
should
be
a
greater
recognition
of
transport
disadvantage
in
our
community,
especially
across
brimbank
that
needs
better
bus
services
and
active
transport.
Better
connectivity,
shared
user
pass
and
the
delivery
of
the
western
rail
plan,
suburban
rail,
lube
and
melbourne
airport
rail
link
and
the
rail
width.
So
all
in
all,
I
would
like
to
congratulate
kelvin
and
his
team
for
an
absolutely
comprehensive,
and
I
felt
it
it
really
captured
the
real
spirit
of
the
west
of
brimbank.
D
Following
on
from
what
councillor
tacos
was
saying
in
terms
of
public
transport
connectivity
from
memory,
one
of
the
points
that
was
highlighted
by
the
officers
was
the
need
to
have
an
integrated
bus
interchange
in
the
deer
park.
Railway
station
is
that
getting
upgraded
as
well
as
more
bike
paths
along
that
section
of
road,
because
at
the
moment
there's
no
plans
for
that
which
is
absurd,
because
we
need
a
bus
interchange
in
there
and
road
and
paths
so
that
people
can
use
it
safely.
I
I
I
A
F
Thank
you
madame.
So
the
purpose
of
this
report
is
for
council
to
consider
endorsing
two
submissions
to
the
vic
to
the
heritage
council.
That
supports
proposed
changes
to
the
victorian
heritage
heritage
register
in
relation
to
both
the
hv
mccain
memorial
gardens
and
the
john
darling
and
sun's
flower
mills.
F
I
I
I
H
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
just
very
briefly
eagle
those
words
by
council
elijah.
Indeed,
it's
a
couple
of
historic
type
of
happiness
and
we
have
to
continue
keeping
the
history
of
the
mckay
family
that
and
the
harvester
works
that
he
started
many
years
ago.
So
it's
a
very
good
report-
and
I
I
too
like
to
thank
the
officers
for
movie
song,
quick
to
try
and
put
the
report
together
and
perhaps
put
the
those
two
items
in
the
heritage.
A
D
Yeah
I'd
just
like
to
echo
those
words
but
to
say
that
the
hv
became
memorial
gardens
in
the
john
darling
and
sun
flower
mills
are
must
be
protected.
They
have
a
highly
significant
heritage
value,
they
tell
the
story
and
the
journey
of
this
city
as
councillor
david
said.
I,
for
one,
am
a
great
believer
that
all
heritage
should
be
protected,
but
also
activated
so
that
it
is
used
by
the
community
currently
and
best
serves
our
community.
D
E
A
K
D
Yes,
I'd
like
to
just
as
the
counsellor
for
covered
response
and
recovery
portfolio,
I'd
just
like
to
give
a
report
back
to
the
effects
and
of
the
pandemic
and
how
far-reaching
and
ongoing
the
situation
is.
I'm
sure
everyone
welcomes
with
relief
the
easing
of
restrictions
from
this
friday,
but
with
large
case
numbers,
we
cannot
ease
up
on
our
response
to
the
pandemic.
D
Support
is
available
for
greenbank
residents
through
government,
council
and
community
organizations.
I
was
very
pleased
to
hear
about
the
port
pandemic
operations
report
tank
response
team,
which
has
been
operational
now
for
approximately
three
to
four
weeks.
The
port
is
one
team
overseeing
all
community
response
operations
with
clearly
defined
roles
and
responsibilities
through
port,
a
coordinated
effort
delivers
brimbank's
con
contracted
pandemic
response,
which
oversees
food
relief,
provision
of
testing
and
vaccination
locations
at
council
owned
or
operated
sites
and
utilizes
local
networks
to
promote
and
encourage
testing
and
vaccination
take
up.
D
We
are
delivering
strong
communications
and
community
engagement
with
targeted
messages
to
individuals
and
groups
within
the
brimbank
community.
We
are
using
community
partners,
including
faith
and
cultural
leaders,
influences
established
community
groups
for
delivery.
We
are
delivering
quick
wins
with
frequent
updates
to
our
web

We
are

greek
and
soon
arabic
and
many
other

council's
ongoing

is
flexible
and

to
the

Thank
you.
As

quite
a
long

Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
and,
very
briefly
as
portfolio
councillor
for
brimbank
innovation,
which
also
includes
councillor
newan.
This
report
includes
governance
and
probity.
I
would
like
to
highlight
the
importance
of
this
monthly
governance
report
to
council.
This
report
provides
ongoing
transparency
to
our
community
on
the
way
we
conduct
our
governance.
I
K
A
N
Yes,
I
do
madame
as
champion
of
the
people
portfolio.
I
am
very
pleased
to
speak
to
this
report.
Brimbane
council
is
committed
to
early
years
education
in
2018
brimbank
city
council
adopted
the
brimping
community
services
and
infrastructure
plan,
2018
2038
known
as
csip,
which
provides
direction
on
future
community
infrastructure
requirements.
N
This
csip
recommends
that
five
children's
and
community
centers
be
built
over
the
next
15
years.
Since
then,
the
victorian
government
has
committed
to
implement
three-year-old
kindergarten
for
all
victorian
children
from
2022
three-year-old
children
in
brimbank
will
have
access
to
five
hours
of
a
funded
kindergarten
program.
N
N
N
The
draft
early
years
facilities
review
guides
council
to
ensure
the
minis,
the
the
provision
of
quality
early
years
infrastructure
that
meets
demand
across
the
municipality.
The
review
makes
recommendations
around
how
the
five
facilities
already
planned
can
meet
community
need,
as
well
as
additional
infrastructure
that
will
be
required.
I
commend
this
report
to
council.
A
G
Thanks,
please
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
would
also
like
to
commend
the
report
here
on
increasing
the
number
of
places
available
for
children
and
having
access
to
early
education
as
we
all
wear.
Melbourne's
population
is
growing
and
therefore
a
lot
of
young
people
are
coming
on
the
way
so
yeah
it
said
report
there
about
like
over
a
thousand
people.
Well,
young
kids
will
need
to
have
places
as
they're
not
met
demand.
G
You
know
having
a
success
for
future
in
life,
and
you
know
it's
really
pleasing
to
see
that
you
know
the
five
planned
sensors
are
going
ahead,
but
also
we're
identifying
here
places
for
additional
infrastructure
to
increase
some
of
the
places
available
and
also
seeing
if
we
need
to
improve
places
with
major
refurbishment
to
ensure
our
centers
are
fit
for
purpose
and
yeah.
I
just
really
commend
support.
It's
going
to
help
a
lot
of
young
people
in
the
future.
Thanks
thank.
M
Thank
you
well
as
a
part
of
five
children.
Thank
you
for
four
to
ten.
I
totally
welcome
this
with
my
early
years
review
and
it
pretty
much
hit
the
ball.
On
the
other
hand,
without
a
review,
I
could
have
told
you
where
cities
need
to
be
required.
You
already
have
the
parents
guys
back
into
and
as
two
of
two
counselors
mentioned,
our
municipality
is
developing,
that
democratic
expanding
council
should
consistently
review,
ensure
community
needs
are
met
and
that
of
serious
service
suitable
service,
auto
communities.
M
I
welcome
finding
any
greatly
reflective
unity
response
and
I
will
have
received
and
I've
experienced.
The
recommendation
will
help
to
bring
older
facilities
in
social
economics
disadvantaged
pockets
within
a
municipality
up
to
a
day
in
line
with
the
rest
of
the
area.
So
I
really
welcome
the
report
and
it
did
highlight
certain
facilities
who
are
inadequate
and
it
has
really
been
reshuffled
and
put
those
up
to
list.
I'm
really
welcome
to
report
and
I
do
commend
report
thanks.
Man
thank.
B
A
D
D
Thanks,
madame
these
ten
neighborhood
and
community
facilities
play
a
very
key
role
like
our
libraries
in
connecting
and
enhancing
and
strengthening
the
community.
I
would
in
particular,
would
like
to
speak
about
one
of
those,
and
that
is
the
tin
shed
based
in
synorbons,
which
is
close
very
close
to
my
heart.
D
D
It
also
houses
us
an
outreach
service
called
inspire
hope,
which
does
some
incredible
work.
The
other
day
I
popped
by
to
say
hello
and
was
pleased
to
hear
that
inspire
hope
through
its
networks,
is
able
to
house
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
at-risk
people
that
are
sleeping
rough
through
a
rental
in
our
community.
D
There
was
a
great
sense
of
achievement
in
what
they've
achieved
and
also
that
they
reached
out
to
me
to
ask
that
if
the
community
can
help
out
with
some
linen
linen
blankets,
towels
crockery,
to
help
set
up
this
new
home.
Can
I
just
say
when
I
put
this
message
out,
I
was
overwhelmed
completely
by
the
community
wanting
to
reach
out
and
to
help
other
people
in
that
are
starting
a
new
life
in
a
new
home.
D
This
is
just
a
small
portion
of
what
I'm
sure
other
councils
will
describe
as
the
positive
work
done
by
neighborhood
houses,
but
I
cannot
underestimate
or
say
enough
good
things
about
the
tin
shed
during
these
difficult
and
and
very
challenging
times
in
rising
up
and
helping
people
with
food
with
clothing
and,
ultimately
with
housing.
Thank
you
very
much.
N
Thank
you.
Madame
in
my
role
as
brimbank
people
portfolio
champion,
I
have
been
privileged
to
see
firsthand
the
great
work
that
is
achieved
through
our
neighborhood
houses
program.
Brimbane,
council
neighborhood
houses
provide
opportunities
for
people
at
all
stages
of
life
to
connect
and
learn,
strengthen
cultures
and
identities
and
build
a
sense
of
belonging
in
individuals
and
groups.
N
I
would
like
to
take
a
moment
to
commend
the
truly
inspiration
work
rolled
out
through
the
neighborhood
houses
since
the
covet
19
global
pandemic
first
impacted
us
in
march.
In
2020,
our
people
and
houses
have
been
responding
directly
to
the
needs
of
the
brimbank
community
and
diversified
its
offerings,
including
a
food
security
program
providing
thousands
of
brimbank
residents
with
fresh
food
hardship,
support
and
intensive
educational
and
mental
health
support
for
children
and
young
people.
N
O
P
Thank
you.
Madam
mayor.
In
march,
2020
council
adopted
the
sydenham
park
master
plan
and
authorized
further
studies
and
investigations
subject
to
the
annual

further
development
and

of
the
master
plan
as
part
of
the
2020-2021
annual

and
also

brimbane

meeting

and
the
other
notes,
as
per
the
re,
the
officer's
recommendation.
A
I
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
My
involvement
with
sydenham
park
goes
back
about
20
years.
There
have
been
several
attempts
to
to
sell
off
parts
of
sydney
park.
My
first
involvement
was
with
a
community
group
to
stop
such
a
sale.
The
sale
was
to,
in
fact
peter
brock
who
wanted
to
purchase
part
of
the
park
for
a
driver
training
course.
I
think
council
david,
might
even
recall
this
from
that
time.
I
I
Needless
to
say,
the
sale
didn't
go
ahead
and
out
of
this
process
came
the
2004
strategy
for
the
park,
which
adopted
by
council
and
included
several
sporting
grounds
in
the
flat
area
were
proposed.
These
never
got
built.
The
proposed
update
includes
a
number
of
major
improvements,
including
compliance
with
the
borough
charter
requirements
for
robinson's
homestead.
I
The
the
borough
charter,
of
course,
talks
about
restoring
heritage
buildings
and
keeping
them
in
their
place
and
repurposing
the
buildings.
Compliance
with
that,
as
in
recommended
in
this
report,
is
a
very
welcome
recommendation
and
to
see
that
one
of
our
oldest
buildings
to
be
preserved
and
repurposed.
I
I
Deletion
of
the
proposed
commercial
development
across
the
front
of
sydney
park
is
also
a
significant
improvement.
This
was,
I
suppose,
something
that
I
doubt
would
ever
have
occurred.
However,
the
removal
from
it
is
is
a
plus
in
terms
of
the
policy
and,
of
course
it
didn't
match
with
our
commercial
development
policy
which
didn't
provide
for
commercial
development
on
that
site.
I
I
I
Proposed
zone
for
grassland
species
or
the
grasslands
farm,
where
we
would
collect
seed,
there
is
a
massive
area
provided
for
that
which
constitutes
a
massive
component
area
of
the
park.
I
I
think
to
allow
one
additional
label
which
would
represent
about
two
percent
of
the
park
would
not
be
in
any
way
detrimental
to
that
proposal
and,
as
such,
I
think,
given
that
there's
been
a
huge
interest
by
sporting
groups
in
having
those
facilities
there,
I
would
certainly
recommend.
M
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
just
want
to
say
congratulations
to
the
officer
who's
put
report
together,
it's
quite
comprehensive
and
quite
detailed,
and
it
outlined
all
the
heritage,
measurements
and
the
feasibility
studies
regarding
the
the
park
itself.
I
support
the
council
nancy's
amendment
due
to
that
it
has
had
some
deviate
from
the
officer
recommendation
other
than
just
an
extra
sports
oval
on
the
west
side,
and
it
also
hasn't
really
any
major
impact
on
the
the
air
itself.
D
I
would
like
to
vote
against
this
amendment.
Madam
mayor.
I
I've
listened
to
the
the
arguments
about
the
additional
sports
ground
that
council
lancashire
said
won't
have
any
impact.
Can
I
just
say
that
it
will,
because,
with
every
sports
additional
sports
ground,
you
require
a
path,
and
you
need
parking.
We've
gone
to
extensive,
extensive
lengths
to
prepare
this
amazing
report,
which
is
comprehensive
and
details
the
importance
of
retaining
this
particular
space
as
conservation
space
and
not
sports
facility
space.
D
I
respect
the
importance
that
this
particular
parcel
of
land
is
protected
for
our
community
as
conservation
and
not
as
a
sports
facility,
and
when
councilor
lancashi
talks
about
the
need
for
sports
facilities.
I
can
assure
you
that
there
are
other
parts
of
brimbank
that
are
in
need
of
far
more
sports
facilities
than
this
part
and
to
actually
be
discussing
this
with
sports
clubs
without
consulting
the
the
council
is,
I
feel,
not
respecting
the
rest
of
the
council.
D
A
D
With
sydney
park
for
over
10
years
and
the
volunteers
that
have
put
their
hard
work
in
planting
and
protecting
with
sports
facilities
come
people
with
people
come
comes,
litter
comes
dogs,
people
love
the
fact
that
kangaroos
can
hop
around
there
and
and
by
bringing
more
and
more
intervention
into
this
space.
Those
kangaroos
will
disappear
and
this
will
no
longer
be
the
special
place
that
it
is
so
I
fully
I
I
am
against
this
particular
amendment
and
I
support
the
current
council
report
as
it
stands.
Thank
you.
H
H
H
H
Lancashire
is,
for
me,
was
very
adamant
to
see
that
the
the
homestead
stay
where
it
is
and
repair
that
was
my
aim,
the
rest
of
it
I'm
not
very
enthusiastic,
but
the
homestead.
I
want
it
to
be
repaired.
What
it
is,
after
all,
it's
like
shifting
my
house
in
terrell's
legs
and
say
leaving
the
same
address
is
not
we
have
to
leave
it
there.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
it
stays
there
and
repair
it.
That's
all
madame.
N
N
D
D
You
know
significant
grassland,
ecology
and
there
are
aboriginal
history
and
artifacts
there,
and
there
was
extensive
work
done
identifying
where
they
are.
When,
when
the
councils
went
out
there
to
see
the
site,
we
got
to
see
an
eagle
so
close,
so
close
that
won't
happen.
The
more
light
pollution
you
put
there,
the
more
people
who
go
there,
the
more
cars
and
dogs
that
are
there,
the
the
animals
that
use
that
space
won't
be
there.
D
C
D
I
K
I
I
O
I
Thank
you,
a
small
portion
of
that
site
being
set
aside
for
that
third
oval,
which
was
also
proposed
in
the
current
policy.
So
we
had,
we
don't
have
something
it's
it.
It
was
in
terms
of
the
community
and
our
young
people
and
their
sporting
needs.
The
proposal.
That's
there
is
undercooked
and
it
would
result
in
potential
delays
to
the
implementation
of
the
plan.
If
we
don't
include
the
third
oval,
because
it's.
D
I
Thank
you,
and
in
terms
of
I
guess,
what's
proposed
there
it.
It
maintains
a
massive
amount
of
vast
amount
of
conservation,
land,
minor
proposal
to
add
that
third
ground
in,
but
in
terms
of,
as
I
said,
the
delay,
we
would
have
to
go
out
on
further
consultation
if
the
community,
if
council,
decided
to
add
a
third
in
at
the
end
of
the
consultation
in
our
february
meeting,
we
could
see
further
significant
delays
to
this
proposal.
G
Suppose
my
question
here
is
yeah.
If
we
were
to
add
a
third
sports
field
like
how
much
of
the
area
percentage,
what
would
that
actually
take
up
and
look
if
we
go
ahead
with
the
original
proposal,
which
was
to
conserve
the
air
for
grasslands
like?
Does
that
not
preclude
the
possibility
of
potentially
putting
a
third
sports
field
far
in
the
future,
if
we
so
determine
that
we
need
it.
P
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
through
through
madam
mayor
council,
new
end,
the
the
exact
details
of
what
space
we're
talking
about.
Obviously
it
would
have
to
be
calculated.
I
can't
provide
that
tonight.
That
would
be
something
that
would
have
to
come
back
to
councillors
on
in
relation
to
the
second
part
of
the
question.
Ultimately,
it's
up
to
council
to
determine
the
future
use
of
sydney
park,
whether
it's
now
as
part
of
this
process
or
in
the
future.
P
There
might
be
a
change
so
there's
nothing
to
proclude
council
in
the
in
the
future
determining
that
they
want
to
add
a
third
oval.
If
that's,
what
council
wants
to
do
and
equally,
there
could
be
other
changes
potentially
as
well,
so
ultimately,
council,
as
the
owner
of
the
land,
would
be
able
to
make
decisions
as
they
see
fit
in
relation
to
sin
and
part
master
plan.
Thank
you.
A
B
A
A
A
O
M
I
Yes
briefly,
madam
mayor,
the
the
sydenham
park,
as
indicated,
is
certainly
something
that
I
think
is
it's
our
largest
park.
It's
a
our,
I
think
our
most
significant
park
and
its
development
has
proposed
things
from
robinson's
homestead.
The
golf
course
the
recreational
facilities
and
the
conservation
elements
make
it
a
massive
asset
for
our
community
from
a
conservation,
tourism
and
recreational
point
of
view.
I
N
D
This
is
indeed
a
very,
very
special
and
exciting
and
long-awaited
master
plan
document
which
really
captures
the
intended
use
of
sydney
park,
and
that
is
for
cultural
and
biodiversity
preservation
and
gentle
respect
of
what
it
is,
and
the
magnificence
and
the
reserve
and
the
respect
that
it
deserves
to
be
protected
and
conserved
for
future
generations.
Thank
you.
A
A
A
A
D
Council
provides
a
home,
delivered
meal
service
to
residents
who
assist
under
the
home
and
community
support
program
and
the
home
and
community
care
program
for
younger
people.
Council
receives
funding
in
the
form
of
a
meal
subsidy
from
the
commonwealth
and
victorian
governments
under
the
above
programs
to
provide
meals
to
clients
service.
D
A
A
D
H
Madame
very
briefly,
this
is
a
wonderful
initiative
that
council
does
they
mill
some
wheels
every
early
morning.
That's
a
wonderful
thing.
I
done
the
trip
myself
once
with
the
offices,
and
I
saw
the
faces
of
those
people
waiting
to
pick
up
their
their
meals.
It's
a
fantastic
initiative.
Didn't
I
congratulate
the
the
officers
for
coming
up
with
this
contract
again
because
we
need
it.
Thank
you.
A
A
Clear
this
report,
karen
and
I
move
to
item
13,
which
is
not
a
submotion,
and
there
are
three
notice
of
motion
for
consideration.
Counselors
remind
you
that
the
notice
of
motion
must
be
moved
as
printed
in
the
papers
and
only
if,
second,
that
can
an
amendment
be
moved
so
13.1,
melbourne,
airport,
community
aviation
consultation
group.
Thank
you
councillor,
tacos.
D
Sure
thanks
may
the
man
I
bought
this
important
issue
to
the
council
because
it
goes
to
the
heart
of
community
concerns
regarding
the
new
third
runway
at
melbourne
airport,
namely
the
impact
of
health
and
well-being
of
people
impacted
by
in
increased
noise.
We
know
that
melbourne
airport
has
reported
its
commitment
to
building
a
third
runway
at
melbourne
airport
and
announced
its
preference
for
a
north
south
south
alignment.
D
D
We
know
that
when
melbourne
airport
releases
the
major
development
plan
to
support
the
development
of
the
third
runway,
there
will
be
a
lot
of
information
to
support
their
proposal.
A
lot
of
the
information
will
be
technical
in
nature
and
dense
in
nature.
Expecting
the
community
to
digest
all
this
information
in
a
prescribed
time
frame
required
under
the
airports.
Act
is
very
unreasonable.
D
D
It
is
fair
and
reasonable
to
expect
the
melbourne
airport
in
good
faith,
to
release
health
impact
assessment
reports
early
before
they
release
the
mdp
and
master
plan.
So
we
can
understand
them,
so
we
can
consult
with
our
community
and
support
our
community.
Then
we
and
the
community
will
have
a
stronger
basis
for
engagement.
My
notice
of
motion
calls
on
the
melbourne
airport
to
seize
this
opportunity
to
dis,
to
reach
out
to
us
and
discuss
future
noise
impacts
on
the
kilo
and
surrounding
communities
before
the
mdp's
released.
D
It
is
important
to
discuss
noise
impacts
and
what
mitigation
actions
will
be
taken.
It
is
important
to
have
the
discussions
early
so
that
communities
have
ample
time
to
digest
the
technical
information
and
properly
understand
what
the
proposed
third
runway
means
to
them.
It
is
important
to
provide
ample
time
for
communities
to
digest,
to
make
sure
that
the
dense
and
technical
information
is
broken
down.
D
A
far
more
open
and
transparent
process
is
required
now
to
assure
our
community
that
the
net
noise
impacts
will
not
severely
impact
on
the
livability
health
and
well-being
of
our
communities
in
brimbank.
Therefore,
I
commend
this
notice
of
motion
to
counsel
and
ask
for
the
support
of
my
fellow
councillors.
Thank
you.
B
B
The
community
were
presented
with
so
much
information,
nobody
understood
it
and
it
took
time
to
digest
and
consultation
and
and
conversations
for
people
to
actually
understand
what's
happening
in
their
area.
This
can
potentially
affect
children,
children's
learning
and
I
just
think,
yeah.
We
definitely
want
to
see
earlier
consultation
and
the
impacts
understood
thanks.
I
I
commend
councillor
tarquos
for
this
merchant.
Thank
you.
A
I
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
The
notice
motion
is
that
council
writes
to
the
municipal
association
of
victoria
elga,
the
federal
government
members,
including
the
prime
minister
assistant
minister
for
local
government,
victorian
senators,
who
are
members
of
the
government
member
for
fraser
member
for
gordon
and
member
for
corwell,
advocating
that
the
federal
government
increase
the
pool
of
funds
available
for
the
financial
assistance
grants
which
will
be
passed
on
to
the
victorian
local
government
grants,
commission
and
other
state
grants
commissions.
I
I
I
The
current
arrangements
for
financial
assistance
grants
that
they
were
indexed
by
a
combination
of
the
consumer
price
index
and
the
rate
of
population
growth.
However,
this
determination
is
that
of
the
treasure
alone,
the
quantum
of
financial
assistance
grants.
Funding
is
too
low
for
the
increasing
responsibilities
of
local
government
and
that
the
indexation
methodology
does
not
sufficiently
recognize
the
true
cost
pressures
on
councils
council
needs
to
advocate,
so
the
federal
government
increases
the
pool
of
funds
available
to
all
councils
and
to
make
sure
that
the
pool
is
not
decreased
in
future
years.
I
Financial
assistance
grants
are
a
significant
source
of
revenue
for
council
and
we
need
to
continue
to
advocate,
so
the
pool
of
funds
provided
by
the
federal
government
are
increased
and
that
there
are
there
should
be
no
decrease
in
funding
when
compared
to
commonwealth
tax
revenue,
not
to
mention
the
fact
that,
as
we
all
understand,
we
have
rate
capping.
So
this
is
another
example
of
where
we
are
being
put
and
local
communities
are
being
put
under
a
dreadful
amount
of
pressure
by
financial
constraints.
M
Motions:
it's
this
ground
is
extremely
important
for
all
the
local
government,
not
just
ours.
It's
all
local
governments.
It
is
especially
councils
where
I
haven't
got
values
for
ie
our
incomes
coming
in.
So
this
is
a
very
important
lesson
to
a
venue
for
council
who
hasn't
got
any
coming
from
meter,
parking,
etc,
sort
of
things.
So
this
is
half
thickness.
It's
very
important.
It's
the
ground,
commission,
it's
disputed
evenly
across
the
board,
so
it's
very
important.
M
N
N
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
would
also
like
to
thank
councillor
lancashire
for
moving
this
motion.
I
also
attended
the
meeting
with
the
victorian
local
government
grants,
commission
and
brimbank
city
council.
We
were
informed
that
the
financial
assistance
grants
are
decreasing,
while
the
increase
in
the
national
pool
of
funding
for
2021
22
is
3.8.
N
The
annual
increase
in
future
years
is
expected
to
be
lower,
reflect
reflecting
relatively
low
population
growth.
Local
governments
are
doing
a
lot
of
heavy
lifting
in
all
sectors,
especially
when
it
comes
to
family
and
community
services.
It
is
important
to
advocate
the
federal
government
to
increase
the
pool
of
funds
available
for
the
financial
assistance
grants.
A
A
A
N
Speak
to
your
motion.
Yes,
I
do
man,
development
victoria
recently
provided
an
update
and
briefing
to
the
kelly
community
regarding
their
ongoing
development
of
the
area
and
the
proposed
brimbank
planning
scheme,
amendment
c
triple
two
at
the
community
briefing.
They
advise
the
community
that
they
wish
to
resolve
the
land
to
enable
a
range
of
changes
to
the
development
outcomes
in
the
area
and
that
they
are
seeking
to
make
the
minister
for
planning
the
responsible
authority
for
specific
pyramids
on
the
site.
N
N
N
A
G
Thank
you
very
much.
I
would
like
to
thank
council
for
raising
disturbance
in
motion
on
behalf
of
the
residents
in
the
grasslands
ward,
and
you
know
also
thank
you
to
our
award
councillors
for
just
being
really
engaged
with
the
community
in
regards
to
the
concerns
in
the
canley
development,
and
it
is
concerning
to
us
that
isabella
victoria
is
trying
to
override
council's
usual
authority
in
terms
of
like
planning
and
development
for
the
area
and
yeah.
I
just
really
support
canterbury
exploration
to
try
keep
council's
control
over
planning
in
the
local
area.
A
I
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I
would
certainly
like
to
thank
councillor
borg
for
raising
this
notice
of
motion
and
would
like
to
support
the
words
also
by
counseling.
The
loss
of
planning
and
responsible
authority
powers
to
the
state
government
on
any
site
is
unfortunate
because
it
does
a
couple
of
things.
It
removes
the
ability
of
the
community
to
be
engaged
through
their
council
in
the
planning
process,
and
it
also
removes
our
ability
to
negotiate
the
best
deal
possible.
I
As
we
know,
with
planning
permits,
we
can,
within
the
planning
scheme,
put
conditions
on
permits
and
try
and
get
better
designs,
and
things
like
that
when
it
comes
to
planning
scheme
amendments,
however,
we
are
usually
in
the
box
seat
because
we
can
say
yes
or
no,
and
if
we
say
yes,
we
can
say
yes
subject
to
what
conditions.
It
really
gives
us
enormous
amount
of
authority
power
to
negotiate
the
best
deal
for
the
community.
I
Removing
both
of
those
leaves
us
fairly
powerless
and
puts
us
in
a
very
limited
position
of
just
being
another
submitter
and
we've
seen
that
this
is
seems
to
be
increasing
and
is
occurring
right
across
melbourne.
So
it
is
a
worry
to
undertake
this
sort
of
practice
and
I
would
certainly
support
this
notice
motion.
Thank
you,
madam
man.
D
The
community's
been
really
vocal
about
this
and
has
been
ongoing.
It
hasn't
been
just
one
big
short
and
sweet
thing.
They've
been
really
consistent
with
with
with
their
research
and
and
bringing
some
figures
forward,
and
keeping
the
dialogue,
open
and
victoria's
council
board
has
really
been
spearheading
the
the
action
that
we
can
do
to
help
and
the
the
biggest
thing
is
we
need
to
keep
control
of
of.
D
We
need
to
stay
as
the
responsible
authority,
and
if,
if
the
minister
is
the
responsible
authority,
we
won't
have
a
say,
so
we
don't
have
a
say
in
how
many
trees
are
planted,
which
is
what
I'm
really
concerned
about,
because
they're
not
reaching
that
30
canopy
cover
and
we
won't
have
a
say
in
in
any
of
the
streets
in
nothing.
So
this
is
the
big
first
step,
and
I
commend
this.
This
motion.
D
Madame
I
just
like
to
also
commend
this
notice
of
motion.
I
think
it's
really
it's
great
that
councillor
ball
has
to
undertake
and
to
bring
this
and
represent
her
community
and
her
community
has
really
displayed
such
unity
in
the
face
of
this
really
problematic
planning
application.
That
is
out
of
our
hands.
Unfortunately,
and
when
it's
taken
out
of
council's
hands,
it
creates
a
real
disconnect
in
the
community.
D
The
community
naturally
turned
to
our
to
councillors
for
support
when
it
comes
to
any
kind
of
development
or
planning
application,
we're
the
closest
people
to
our
community
and
they
they
turn
to
us
for
support.
For
you
know,
facilitation
questions
and
council
of
victoria
borg
has
really
taken
that
role
along
with
that
community
group
are
represented
by
some
excellent
community
members
that
I
I
see
becoming
real
community
leaders
and
they
aspire
for
the
best
for
their
community
and
that's
what
this
council
is
about.
We've
got
standards
with
our
planning.
We've
got
at
regulations.
D
We've
got
a
framework
that
we
adhere
to
to
ensure
that
livability
and
also
responsiveness
to
the
needs
of
our
communities
is
adhered
to.
But
when
it's
taken
out
of
our
hands,
we
lose
that
control
we
become
subject
to.
You
know
plans
that
don't
really
respond
to
what
the
local
community
wants
and
needs,
and
those
and
things
can
change
as
well
with
pandemics
and
other
things
that
people
don't
necessarily
want
sports
facilities
that
are
outlined
that
they
must
have.
So
I
commend
this
notice
of
motion.
D
A
O
A
A
I'm
gonna
go
to
item
14
notice
off
motion
rescission.
There
are
no
rescission
motions
so
from
then
we're
going
to
go
to
item
confidential
businesses.
There
are
no
confidential
businesses
tonight.
Thank
you
all
for
attending
and
for
your
interest
in
tonight's
meeting.
I
declare
this
meeting
closed
at
1007
pm.
