13      COUNCILLOR QUESTION TIME

Councillor Stead asked the following question:

“I received an email from Peter Lowman with an invitation for a request to attend a 30
minute meeting regarding starting a Croquet Club in Griffith. I will read the email and
all Councillors will receive this as well.”

Councillor Stead read aloud the email received from Mr Peter Lowman.

Councillor Stead stated that the Croquet Club in conjunction with U3A last year received a
community grant which assisted in the purchase of some equipment and that they play
croquet on a Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday at the old bowling green site.

Councillor Stead further stated that Mr Lowman will email Councillors individually inviting
them to join in a game of croquet.

Mr Lowman addressed Council stating that everyone is most welcome to attend, and
Councillors are encouraged to make a time to visit at their convenience. Mr Lowman stated
that the Croquet Club would eventually like to introduce the sport to schools to involve
younger players.

The Mayor thanked Mr Lowman for the information and for the invitation to Councillors to
experience the sport of croquet.

Councillor Dino Zappacosta asked the following question:

“Roadworks on the Thorne Road and Kidman Way Intersection Roundabout has been
stopped for several weeks, when can the public expect to see the roadworks
completed?”

The General Manager advised that Council staff have recommenced works this week with
the stabilisation of the pavement, this will allow for the surface to have a primer seal and
concrete work will follow.

The General Manager further advised that it is anticipated that the roundabout will be
completed by 31 October 2018 and that whilst there have been delays one of the primary
reasons has been associated with the development of a certified design to meet the
approval of Essential Energy, following this an outage date can be determined and poles
relocated.

Councillor Zappacosta asked for an explanation of what works would commence tomorrow.

Mr King advised that works commenced today and will continue through this week, these
works involve the additional pavement material being placed on the road surface and the
stabilisation with lime.

Mr King further advised that it is anticipated that one side will be completed this week and
the other side will be completed next week and that by the end of next Friday there will be a
primer seal placed over the majority of the intersection which will alleviate any dust problems
and the stabilised pavement will repair any potholes. Mr King thanked the travelling public for
their patience with the works being undertaken.

                                                        Ordinary Meeting of Council | 28 August 2018   12
Minutes of Ordinary Meeting of Council 14 August 2018

Councillor Mike Neville asked the following question:

“Could the General Manager please outline the usage of State Bank House in Kooyoo
St. My understanding is that the site was to be utilised/rented.”

The General Manager advised that the State Bank House is currently being utilised by
Council staff within the Economic Development and Tourism sections of Council, being the
Events Coordinator, Economic Development Officer, Marketing Coordinator and a School
based Trainee.

The General Manager stated that for the time being the building is being utilised by Council
staff and that should the opportunity arise where staff could be relocated in other buildings
without having to pay additional rent/lease fees then Council would consider renting out the
State Bank House.

Councillor Rina Mercuri asked the following question:

“I was contacted by a resident of Benerembah St who is concerned by the lack of
street lights, this concern is shared by several residents. They say it is very dark and
they feel unsafe especially when they go walking. Would it be possible to look into
getting street lights for Benerembah St please.”

The General Manager advised that the spacing of street lights in Griffith meet the minimum
standard, for vehicles and tend to be concentrated at intersections and that the current
budget for new street lights is very limited to one, possibly two each financial year.

The General Manager further advised that unfortunately Benerembah Street is not
pedestrian friendly due to limited paths and lighting and that there are a number of limitations
to installing new street lights including poles and locations as well as circuit capacity.

The General Manager stated that Council is involved in a regional program called ‘Southern
Lights’ which in the longer term involves the replacement of all lamps in the Local
Government Area with LED low voltage lamps and that whilst this in itself would not increase
the number of lamps in the City the inclusion of additional lamps could be included as a
budget consideration.

Councillor Simon Croce asked the following question:

“Is increased street lighting around Benerembah on a list to be done any time in the
near future. Yes please.”

The General Manager advised that there are no immediate plans for increasing street lights
anywhere in Griffith and that the question raised was along the same lines as Councillor
Rina Mercuri’s question.

Councillor Paul Snaidero asked the following questions:

“To the GM. Any further developments or outcomes on the Council owned Lake
Wyangan properties in relation for the development of housing.”

The General Manager advised that Council has had discussions with the Office of Premier
and Cabinet looking for possible subsidy funding to development fit for purpose housing
options in the area around Lake Wyangan.

The General Manager further advised that Council is expecting a response from the
Department within the next five weeks and should a positive result not be received he will
                                                        Ordinary Meeting of Council | 28 August 2018   13
Minutes of Ordinary Meeting of Council 14 August 2018

report back to Council to obtain guidance about the future of the Council owned land at Lake
Wyangan.

“To the GM. Why has there not been any communication to the Councillors of the
appointment of the Mayor as the Deputy Chair of the Riverina – Murray Joint
Organisation (JO). I had to read about it in the media.”

The General Manager stated that it was an oversight and that there has been one meeting of
the new RAMJO, at that meeting the Mayor of Albury City Council, Councillor Kevin Mack
was elected Chair and Mayor John Dal Broi was elected as the Deputy Chair.

Councillor Curran enquired if Councillors could receive the minutes of the RAMJO meetings
and asked what the regularity of those meetings are.

The General Manager advised that the minutes would be provided to Councillors as
information and that the meetings are to be held quarterly and that the agendas and minutes
of those meeting will be available on Council’s website.

“To the GM. Has there been any progress in the appointment of the Project Officer for
remediation of the North Lake of Lake Wyangan.”

Mr Harding advised that an appointment has been made and that the officer would
commence with Council on 27 August 2018 and that a range of documentation has been
provided to the Officer in preparation for the first committee meeting to be held in the second
week of September.

“To the GM. Why has Council deviated away from the Griffith City Council Code of
Meeting Practice – Councillors Question Time? Is there any reason why Council
cannot return to the Code of Meeting Practice?”

The General Manager stated that he is not aware that Council has deviated from the Code of
Meeting Practice and asked Councillor Snaidero if he wished to further elaborate on this
matter.

Councillor Snaidero referred to the back of the Councillor Question Time form where the
Code of Meeting Practice is printed and stated that the practice used to be where the
Councillor asked the question and that if the Code is adhered to he would be asking
questions at the appropriate time.

The General Manager stated that the spirit of the Code is to give staff the courtesy to have
reasonable notice in order to prepare a response to be communicated in a public forum,
otherwise questions would be taken on notice with responses provided at a later date.

FROM          Daphne Bruce, Corporate Property Officer

TRIM REF      17/85794

(owners of Griffin Plaza) over adjoining Council owned land, Lot 2 DP 1003564, Twigg Street
Griffith is due to expire on the 31 August 2018. The current lease had a term of 20 years.
There is an option to renew the lease for a further term of 20 years, with 1 year’s notice
provided by the lessee to Council.

The land is used for car parking and access to Griffin Plaza.

Shopping Centres Australasia Property Group RE Limited has exercised their option to
renew the agreement.

    Australasia Property Group RE Limited for a further term of 20 years commencing
    1 September 2018.

(b) Shopping Centres Australasia Property Group RE Limited pay all applicable costs
    and charges associated with the preparation of the lease agreement together with

REPORT

A lease agreement is in place with Shopping Centres Australasia Property Group RE Limited
over Council owned land, Lot 2 DP 1003564, Twigg Street Griffith which is used for car
parking and access to Griffin Plaza. The current lease has a term of 20 years and is due to
expire on the 31 August 2018. The lease has an option to renew the agreement for a further
term of 20 years upon the lessee serving 1 year’s notice with Council to renew the
agreement.

The lease has the provision to review the rental on the 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th anniversary of the
original lease and any lease granted pursuant to an option with reference to current market
rent, on request of the lessee. All other years the rent is determined by increasing the rental
                                               Ordinary Meeting of Council | 28 August 2018   17
CL01   Renewal of Lease Agreement - Lot 2 DP 1003564 - 2 Twigg Street with Shopping Centres Australasia
       Property Group RE Limited

for the previous year by the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Council has continued to adjust the
rent annually by CPI. The current rental for 2017/2018 is $8,129.34 (Ex. GST).

The lessee requested that rent for the further term of 20 years be calculated in relation to
Clause 9 of the lease whereby the new rent is assessed by the Valuer General as being a
fair market rent. The Valuer General (Property NSW) no longer undertakes this type of
valuation but provided contact details of three valuation firms.

Council engaged Herron Todd White, Griffith on agreement of the lessee. The market rent
was determined at $8,750, excluding GST and outgoings (Attachment (b)).

The Managing Agent of Griffin Plaza, Knight Frank, did not agree with the valuation and
engaged their own valuer Knight Frank, who assessed the market rent at $5,180. It being
noted the commencement rent in 1998 was $5,520. Council considered this not to be an
independent valuation.

Following further discussion of both valuations with Property NSW, Council made a final
offer to the lessee at a commencement rental of the new term at $7,553, plus GST, to
increase thereafter with CPI, subject to approval at an Ordinary Meeting of Council.

This figure was determined by taking an aggregate of both valuations (refer Attachment (d)):

Herron Todd White               $172,650
Knight Frank                    $129,488
                                $302,138 ÷ 2
                                $151,069 x 5% (capitalisation rate per Herron Todd White)
                                $ 7,553

The applicant has continued to pay all fees and charges applicable to the land.

OPTIONS

Option 1

As per recommendation.

Option 2

Continue to lease Lot 2 DP 1003564 to Shopping Centres Australasia Property Group RE
Limited for a further term of 20 years for provision of car parking and access to the Griffin
Plaza complex as they have exercised their option to renew the agreement 1 year prior to
expiry of the current lease. The annual rental to commence at an amount determined by
Council and increase thereafter with CPI plus rates and charges.
Option 3

Council may determine not to renew the lease agreement for the car parking and access
area but this is not preferred as there would be limited opportunity elsewhere in the vicinity of
Griffin Plaza to provide the required number of car parks as was a condition of their original
development approval.

Option 4

Any other resolution as determined by Council.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The current lease fee for 2017/18 is $8,129.34 (Ex. GST). The new annual lease fee shall
commence at $7,553 plus GST, to increase thereafter with CPI plus rates and charges. The
lessee was entitled to a review of market rent as part of the option to renew the lease
agreement for a further term of 20 years.

Council engaged a valuer to undertake a review of the market rent at a cost of $2,200. The
lessee also engaged their own valuer at their cost.

All legal fees in preparing the lease agreement are to be paid by the applicant direct to
Council’s solicitor. Council will also invoice an Administration Fee of $401 on signing of the
agreement by all parties.

LEGAL/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS

The lessee has complied with the original term of the lease by exercising their option to
renew the lease agreement for a further term of 20 years with 1 years notice to Council prior
to the expiry date of the original term.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

All environmental implications were considered as part of the original development approvals
process.

COMMUNITY IMPLICATIONS

income from the leasing of Council owned land.

Griffith City Council                                         NOTICE OF MOTION
TITLE         Council's Lake Wyangan Land

FROM          Anne Napoli, Councillor

TRIM REF      18/72812

SUMMARY

Council received the following Notice of Motion from Councillor Anne Napoli dated 21 August
2018.

RECOMMENDATION

That Council move to advanced planning stage of Council owned land at Lake
Wyangan. (Lot 2 DP1071622, 2 Smeeth Road, and Lot 2 DP1068127, 77 McCarthy
Road) Including all engineering, roadworks design, sewer reticulation, water supply
reticulation, stormwater design, electrical, Telstra, gas, geotechnical report and any
other design that is required to complete project ready for site ready start. That
planning include staged development in parcels of a number 30 lot per parcels by 6
stages. A bill of quantities be drawn up in conjunction with the above planning so an
accurate pricing document can be formulated.

With this information Council can make an informed judgement on the future
development of the property.

SENIOR MANAGEMENT TEAM COMMENT

In considering whether to support the above Notice of Motion, Council should be cogniscent
of the following point.

    This NOM relates to an existing DA aproval relating to two existing allotments at Lake
      Wyangan total lots being 182.

    Council Staff are fully committed for the current financial year 2018/19 in terms of
      design for existing or scheduled projects. The motion as printed involved very
      specific design based around an existing DA aproval for the Lake Wyangan
      properties.

    Council would need to engage the services of an external consultant to undertake the
      design of work required.

    There is no budget provision in the 2018/19 operational plan to undertake the design
      work. It is anticipated that the scope of works which includes survey and design may
      exceed the statutory threshold of $150,000 requiring Tender process.

    Staff would include an estimate for the survery and design works in the September
      quarterly review of operations.
