Minutes of Ordinary Meeting of Council 14 August 2018 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. 14 OUTSTANDING ACTION REPORT OUTSTANDING ACTION REPORT 18/265 RESOLVED on the motion of Councillors Mike Neville and Christine Stead that the report be noted.

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.

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. POLICY IMPLICATIONS Not applicable Ordinary Meeting of Council | 28 August 2018 18
CL01 Renewal of Lease Agreement - Lot 2 DP 1003564 - 2 Twigg Street with Shopping Centres Australasia Property Group RE Limited 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.

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. Ordinary Meeting of Council | 28 August 2018 60
