REPORTS DIRECT TO GENERAL COMMITTEE

1    DEVELOPMENT OF THE CAPITAL WORKS FRAMEWORK – FURTHER REPORT

REPORT

The purpose of this report is to provide detail around the Councillor involvement in the
development of the Capital Works Framework and subsequent Capital Works Program and also
present a consolidated program statement to support the Capital Works Framework.

The development of the Capital Works Framework was presented to the Infrastructure and
Services Committee on the 25 February 2014. As a result of the report the Committee requested
that further clarification be provided on the process for Councillor involvement in the development
of the Capital Works Program and, in particular, how Councillors can initiate projects to be placed
in the program. In addition, it was requested that the program statements be simplified.

There are three areas of involvement for Councillors in the development of the Capital Works
Program, namely:

1.   Project Initiation
Councillors are able to initiate projects by discussion with the Assets and Investigations team.
The Assets and Investigations team will record the details of the project to support investigation
and scoping activities. This record keeping is fundamental in ensuring that key issues are defined
and that stakeholders are identified and considered.

In order to meet the timing for the development of the annual Capital Works Program any
proposed projects need to be initiated through the Assets and Investigations team prior to the
end of March for the 2014/15 program. In future years this time line will be by the end of February
to ensure sufficient time for investigations and scoping can be undertaken prior to budget
development.

2.   Emergent Works
There will be emergent issues that arise throughout any given year that will require immediate
action. Should there be an emergent project that needs to be considered after the budget has
been adopted then there is the opportunity to have these works included in the budget when
considering the quarterly budget reviews. These emergent projects can also be initiated through
the Assets and Investigations team.

3.   Councillor Workshops
Once the draft Capital Program has been developed, workshop(s) with Councillors and project
staff will be held to review individual projects that have been scored and prioritised. It is
anticipated that the workshop for the development of the 2014/15 budget will be held in April.
There may be a requirement to have additional workshops should there be a need for further
information on proposed projects of a complex nature.



                                                                                     Page 4 of 30

REPORT

A report on this issue was considered by the Planning & Organisation Committee on 25 February
2014 (refer to Item 1, page 4) and was subsequently referred to the upcoming General
Committee meeting.

During the course of discussions, Councillors indicated that they considered it was difficult to
contemplate the full extent of the matters proposed to be delegated to officers. Councillors
indicated that to assist their understanding it would be beneficial to have a range of development
applications referred to them for review, with the opportunity for any councillor to request a matter
to be considered at a Council meeting. This referral process would then be reviewed after 6
months. A number of grammatical and consistency issues were also raised with the delegation
instruments.

In the circumstances the Committee requested a further report be presented to the General
Committee meeting for 3 March 2014.

Planning & Development Issues

The current planning and development delegations address a range of issues, including
primarily:

   development applications where Council is the assessment manager and can decide the
    application;
   applications lodged with a private building certifier and Council is identified as a concurrence
    agency for the application (e.g. setback, building height variations for dwelling houses);
   enforcement of pool safety standards, budget accommodation building fire safety standards
    (e.g. backpackers), residential service building standards (e.g. aged care facilities) and
    breaches of the Building Act;

Process for Referral to Councillors

For those matters that can be determined under delegation, it is proposed that they be referred to
all Councillors by email before the exercise of that delegation, allowing 3 business days for a
Councillor to request the matter to be referred to a Council meeting instead of being considered
under delegation. This effectively provides a “call up” provision for Councillors to request that a
planning matter be referred to Council for determination rather than being determined under
delegation. The email to Councillors would include the officer report and proposal plans if
applicable. Matters identified as 1 to 5 in Part B of the recommendation would be referred directly
to a Council meeting for consideration.

This process will commence following Council’s Ordinary Meeting of 4 March 2014 and be
reviewed after 6 months. The delegations could then be further amended as appropriate based
on the experience of that trial period.

Delegation Instruments

The delegation instruments have been amended to address the identified grammatical and
consistency issues identified at the Planning & Organisation Committee on 25 February 2014.

PURPOSE

To seek Council’s view on whether to join the Healthy Waterways Network (the Network), which
has been established to facilitate improvements in the ecosystem health of Moreton Bay and
other Coastal freshwater and estuarine waterways in support of the Healthy Waterways Vision:
“By 2026, our waterways and catchments will be healthy ecosystems supporting the livelihoods
and lifestyles of people in South East Queensland, and will be managed through collaboration
between community, government and industry.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Healthy Waterways Network is a not for profit, non-government, membership based
organisation that has been established to “facilitate collaborative action to understand and wisely
manage the waterways of South East Queensland”. The Network has been formed from the
previous Healthy Waterways Partnership which was hosted by the Brisbane City Council for
many years, and which Noosa Council maintained financial membership and active involvement
in, until amalgamation in 2008. With the exception of Toowoomba and Noosa, all of the SEQ
region’s local governments are members of the Network.
The Network is a function of the Healthy Waterways Limited corporation, which is also a not for
profit, charitable institution established to advance the vision for healthy waterways in South East
Queensland.
In October 2013, the Healthy Waterways Network Secretariat wrote to the Noosa Transition
Manager requesting Noosa Council make a funding contribution to the Network to 30 June 2014.
In December 2013, Mr Franks (Transition Manager New Noosa Council) provided a commitment
on the new Noosa Council’s behalf to make the financial contribution to the Network based on a
pro rata projection of the new Council’s contribution to 30 June 2014 of $14,080 (+GST). The
contribution has now been made from existing budget.
Healthy Waterways Secretariat have written to the CEO of the Noosa Council (7 February 2014),
inviting Council to formally join the Network. Council’s is requested to delegate authority to the
CEO to sign the Network Deed.

RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Coordinator Environmental Services to the General
Committee Meeting dated 3 March 2014 and:
A.   Agree to join the Healthy Waterways Network;
B.   Authorise the CEO to sign the Network Deed on Council’s behalf; and
C.   Make provision in the 2014-15 budget for a financial contribution towards the Network
     based on existing annual contributions plus CPI.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Healthy Waterways is a not-for-profit, non-government, membership-based organisation working
to protect and improve waterway health in South East Queensland (SEQ). Healthy Waterways
works with its network of member organisations from government, industry, research and the
community to facilitate careful planning and coordinated efforts at local and regional levels to
deliver healthy waterways for the region.

The organisation had its genesis in regional planning processes for South East Queensland in
the late 1990’s. The SEQ Regional Growth Management Strategy identified the need to
understand and management impacts of land use changes in the region on the social and
ecological values of the region’s waterways. By 1998 the Healthy Waterways Partnership had
been established to promote collaborative efforts between government, industry and the
community.

Early efforts focussed on understanding the dynamic of the waterways feeding into Moreton Bay.
In the year 2000 Noosa Council became the last SEQ local government to join the Healthy
Waterways Partnership. At that time the Noosa River Loads and Impacts Study was undertaken
and it was acknowledged that due to its excellent ecosystem health, Noosa River should be
recognised as a reference waterway for the region.

Noosa Council remained a financial member of the Healthy Waterways Partnership up to the
time of amalgamation in 2008. During this period, the Mayor of Noosa was the chair of the
Northern Implementation Group for Healthy Waterways and was a member of the Healthy
Waterways Policy Council (along with the Mayor of Brisbane, Mayor of Ipswich, Mayor of Gold
Coast, Minister for Environment, Minister for Transport, Minister for Local Government and
Planning and the Minister for Natural Resources and Mines).

Noosa Council paid an annual cash contribution to the Healthy Waterways Partnership which
was calculated on a pro-rata basis to assist with the work of the Partnership’s Secretariat and
operation of the Ecosystem Health Monitoring Program (EHMP). The EHMP delivers the annual
Healthy Waterways Report Card assessments for the river catchments of south east
Queensland. In return, Council and the Noosa community had access to a facilitated network of
expertise on waterways management and aquatic ecosystem health. In 2007-08 Noosa
Council’s contribution to Healthy Waterways was $64,303.

The Brisbane City Council hosted the partnership and its secretariat from its formation in 1998 to
2009 when it was decided to create a separate corporate entity. The Sunshine Coast Council
maintained membership of the Healthy Waterways Partnership and became a member of the
Healthy Waterways Network following its creation in 2009. The contribution of most SEQ local
governments to Healthy Waterways was reduced following the creation of the new water utilities
in the region by the State Government in 2009\10.

The Healthy Waterways Network is a corporate entity which is created under the constitution of
Healthy Waterways Pty Ltd. The Network is established to allow for entities wishing to formally
partner and collaborate towards the realisation of the Vision for Healthy Waterways, without
becoming a member of the Pty Ltd company.

The Sunshine Coast Council paid membership of the Healthy Waterways Network for 1 July to
31 December 2013 for the whole of the former Sunshine Coast Local Government Area. In
October 2013, the Healthy Waterways Secretariat wrote to the Transition Manager for the de-
amalgamation of Noosa Council inviting the new Council to become a member of the Healthy
Waterways Network. The Transition Manager wrote to the Healthy Waterways Secretariat in
December 2013 confirming Noosa Council’s financial contribution to the network to 30 June
2014. This contribution has now been made.

A copy of the Company’s constitution and the Network Agreement are available in the
Councillors room. The Healthy Waterways Network Committee is currently considering changes
to the organisational structure of Healthy Waterways. These changes are not likely to have
significant implications for the general status of member organisations, but are aimed at
streamlining the organisations operations. Council will have an opportunity to provide input to
this process. If changes are made Council will be in a position to reconsider its membership of
the restructured organisation.

FINANCE & RISK

If Council chooses to establish and maintain a membership of the Healthy Waterways Network, it
will be required to make annual financial payments towards the Network’s ongoing operations.
The Network contributions for local governments are calculated on a pro-rata basis depending on
population. Council’s contribution for 2013-14 is $28,160 (+GST). The actual amount of
contribution from Noosa Council for 2014-15 has not yet been advised by the Healthy Waterways
Secretariat. However it is anticipated to be similar to the current investment plus CPI. Council
would be in a position to leave the Network at any time without financial penalty, providing there
are no overdue contributions outstanding.

Should Council choose not to maintain membership of the network, it is unlikely that the network
will continue the Ecosystem Health Monitoring Program in the Noosa River catchment and
estuary. Should this occur, Council would no longer have an annual report card for the
ecosystem health of the Noosa river system. Council would also lose access to the other
services provided by the partnership including access to the Scientific Expert Panel,
communication programs, education and monitoring programs, the Water by Design program
and the annual Healthy Waterways Awards ceremony.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Council has received notification that a Native Title claim has been lodged by the Kabi Kabi
First Nation Traditional Owners Native Title Claim Group over a significant part of the broader
south-east Queensland region. The Native Title claim includes the Noosa Shire area. A copy of
the claim area is identified in Attachment 1.

Council has the option of joining as a respondent party to the Native Title claim. Native Title
claims traditionally take many years to resolve with significant consideration of claimants’
connections to the land, establishment of historical and anthropological evidence etc. This
element is generally managed through State government processes. In the early stages of any
title claim, Council’s role will be one of a “watching brief” as the claim develops. If Native Title is
ultimately established, it is at that stage that the Council would examine any potential implications
of the Native Title claim.

RECOMMENDATION

That Council note the report by the Chief Executive Officer to the General Committee Meeting
dated 3 March 2014 and:
A.     Note the Native Claim No 2013/003 lodged by the Kabi Kabi First Nation Traditional
       Owners Native Title Claim Group;
B.     Elect to become a respondent party to that Native Title Claim; and
C.     Request the CEO to provide a further report to Council on any issues affecting the Noosa
       region once the claim is further advanced.



PREVIOUS COUNCIL CONSIDERATION

Nil.

REPORT

Council received details on 18 February 2014 of the Native Title claim lodged by the Kabi Kabi
First Nation Traditional Owners Native Title Claim Group. The claim was actually lodged in the
Federal Court (National Native Title Tribunal) on 31 May 2013. The claim was accepted for
registration in August 2013.

The claim is still in the notification stage. This means that it has been filed and publicly notified
and parties that wish to join as a respondent may do so by filing a relevant notice before 17
March 2014. There are no costs in joining as a respondent prior to that date.



                                                                                       Page 26 of 30

Section 27

GENERAL COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                     3 MARCH 2014


If the Council has not elected join as a respondent by 17 March, it can choose to do so at a later
but will need to seek leave and make application to the Court for approval to do so which
involves costs.

Historically, Native Title claims take many years to work their way through the court process.
However, the Federal Court has taken a much more strict approach to the management of native
title claims than was the case in previous years. The Court now manages claims to ensure that
claims will be resolved within 3 years from their commencement.

As the claim has only recently been filed, the first step is for the claim group to collate sufficient
historical and anthropological evidence and research to support their assertion to hold Native
Title over the claim area. This claim was filed with the backing of the Land Council (Queensland
South Native Title Services). Information about the historical and anthropological evidence will
be provided to the State Government for review and assessment as part of the claim process. In
other parts of Queensland, Councils generally rely upon the State's assessment of connection
material as they have neither the resources nor expertise to become involved in that process.

Once a claim is made in the Federal Court and notified by the National Native Title Tribunal,
parties with an interest within the claim area that may join as a respondent party. A relevant
interest includes:

   the holder of tenure interests (such as the trustee of reserves and other State land within the
    claim area);
   the owner and operator of infrastructure;
   a regulator under laws such as planning schemes, local laws and other laws for which
    Councils are responsible; and
   operational interests such as maintenance, pest control and other day to day operations of
    Council.

Noosa Council should take the opportunity to join as a respondent to the application while we are
able to do so. It is our understanding that Morton Bay Regional Council and Sunshine Coast
Regional Council have elected to become respondents. It is expected that Gympie Regional
Council and Wide Bay Regional Council will also elect to become respondents. However, our role
as a respondent should be to monitor progress of the application, to identify any potential impacts
of the application on our region and to respond to any issues that arise during the process that
relate to the Noosa area.

The CEO has made enquiries of who could represent the Council in relation to this Native Title
application. Council's usual solicitor (Wakefield Sykes) has indicated that this is a specialised
area of law and has suggested that Council retain the services of an experienced solicitor who
has acted for local governments in Queensland on native title issues. The CEO has identified
Jenny Humphris from McDonnells Solicitors in Brisbane as being suitable in that regard.

Once the application proceeds further, more information will be available about any potential
implications in the Noosa region. At that point, a further report will be provided to Council about
the extent and implications of the Native Title claim.

FINANCE & RISK

Given a “watching brief” approach, there should be minimal impact on Council’s ‘legal budget in
the short term.

CONSULTATION

External Consultation - Community & Stakeholder
Discussions have been held with Council's solicitor (Wakefield Sykes). He has advised that he
does not have any specific expertise in relation to Native Title claims that has suggested that the
Council retained the services of an expert in that area.
Internal Consultation
Discussion undertaken with Council's Strategic Planning unit which has had experience in
dealing with Native Title issues and indigenous history within the Noosa region.
