ORDINARY MEETING MINUTES                                                                 20 MARCH 2025


                    despite staff comments in Attachment 2, which were made in response to
                    significant community feedback that the Plan had failed to capture the quarry
                    situation impacting Pomona, and despite stating the Plan would be amended to
                    "include references to Kin Kin Quarry"?
                    Response provided by Kim Rawlings Director Strategy and Environment
                    The Plan has been amended to reflect heavy vehicle movements including quarry
                    trucks. Pages 12, 27 and 28 have references to this issue.

      8.6.          HAYLEY HASS

                    QUESTION 1
                    Why is CCTV listed as an action in the Place Plan (Appendix B) when residents
                    expressed in the consultation that "Pomona already feels safe" and did not support
                    CCTV in parks and around town, as confirmed by council in the plan, prior
                    Placemaking reports, and recent council meetings, especially when many
                    submissions specifically called for no CCTV in Pomona?
                    Response provided by Kim Rawlings Director Strategy and Environment
                    As part of the community engagement process, Council made a commitment to
                    capture all suggested actions from the community throughout the process. Those
                    actions that did not get identified as priority actions in the main sections of the Plan
                    have been captured in Appendix B. This included the action regarding CCTV and
                    when the place plan is reviewed all of these actions can be re-tested with the
                    community. It is not listed as a priority action in the Main section (Part B) of the
                    report.

                    QUESTION 2
                    How much has the Koala warning variable message sign on Yurol Forest Drive in
                    Pomona cost the council, including the cost of it being out of action for several
                    months?
                    Response provided by Kim Rawlings Director Strategy and Environment
                    The amount is $0 cost to Council, as this VMS is a State Government TMR
                    initiative, on a state managed road. TMR’s VMS approach stems from Council’s
                    established and successful Koalas on the Move campaign, which TMR have been
                    partnering on for a number of years. The TMR signs only operate at peak times,
                    due to the nature of koala activity and solar power constraints.
