Report
This rescission motion is not to get away from, impede or reduce what we as an
organisation are already doing to address climate change. This is about getting away
from language that is taken by a large proportion of the community as alarmist and
confronting. This language undermines and creates a loss of confidence in work and
policies that Wagga Wagga City Council (WWCC) are already doing in this space.
Confidence in our region economically has already been shown to be undermined if
we continue down the path that was proposed.
What came from debate and questions submitted to the General Manager has
confirmed that actioning the request for a report will incur financial/resource
requirements that have not been identified. We introduced a responsible budget two
weeks before this report was submitted, and during several months of consultation

between operations and the elected body, a climate emergency concept was never
mentioned once. That would have been the time to address any requirements.
Further, as an organisation, our Community Strategic Plan (CSP) has been developed,
and whilst an evolving document, no consultation has taken place as to whether this is
even the direction the community wish to head. To infer that that would be part of
developing inclusion in our CSP is putting the cart before the horse. Our own policies
are insistent upon community consultation.
At an operational level, it is still quite unclear what is required from the request of a
report to develop a plan over the next 12 months, and how to develop a document for
a climate emergency. As pointed out by operations, we have no experienced experts
in the field, no resources, no understanding and would have to bring in consultants.
This creates another level of bureaucracy and budget implications.
It has also been identified that with the declaration of an emergency, there are further
consequences that call in other agencies. It doesn’t matter whether it is coined a state
of emergency, a national emergency or what terminology is used. The relevant term
here is that an authority, WWCC, are declaring an emergency.
WWCC already conduct themselves in a responsible manner and continue to pursue

opportunities in the area of environmental sustainability and actions regarding climate
change. These policies and actions were displayed as an amendment and a
suggestion that we were doing our share and more. This was democratically rejected.
In an effort to get the view and input of all our councillors on such a serious matter, I
believe it should be a decision of ‘whole of council’, not only 78%.

REPORTS FROM STAFF
RP-1 DA19/0191 - CHANGE OF USE TO RESTRICTED PREMISES - 190

BAYLIS ST WAGGA WAGGA NSW 2650 - LOT 3 DP30688
Author: Steven Cook

General Manager: Peter Thompson
Summary: The application is for the change of use of an existing premises to

a ‘restricted premises’ retailing adult products and publications. An
application to change the use of the premises to a ‘restricted
premises’ was previously refused on the site, under delegation,
due to a lack of appropriate information within the application
addressing the non-compliance of the application with the Wagga
Wagga Development Control Plan 2010.
Three objections were received to this Development Application

when it was placed on public exhibition. The application is reported
to Council for determination because these submissions objected
to a numerical standard within the Wagga Wagga Development
Control Plan 2010 proposed to be varied by more than 10%,
specifically C3 of Section 12.7 which states that:
The entrance to any Restricted Premises is to be at least 400m

from the entrance to any child care centre, community facility,
educational establishment, hospital or place of public worship.
The proposed ‘restricted premises’ will be approximately 200m

from the Greek Orthodox Church in Tompson Street.
Development Control Plans cannot prohibit development that is

otherwise permitted under a Local Environmental Plan. The
control, if strictly applied, would have this effect as almost the
entirety of the B3 – Commercial Core zone falls within 400m of a
land use listed in 12.7, C3. As such the control is likely of no effect.
Notwithstanding, variation to this control, and other controls with

which the development does not comply, are considered justified,
appropriate and consistent with relevant objectives.
Recommendation
That Council approve DA19/0191 for a Change of Use to Restricted Premises, 190
Baylis Street, Wagga Wagga, Lot 3 DP 30688, subject to conditions outlined in the
Section 4.15 Assessment Report attached under separate cover.

Report
Key Issues
 Non-compliance with Wagga Wagga Development Control Plan 2010 controls
regarding:
o Maximum height for top hamper signs (Section 2.4, C51)
o Requirement for ‘restricted premises’ to be on the first floor in the B3
Commercial Core zone (Section 12.7, C1)
o Proximity of restricted premises to ‘sensitive uses’ (Section 12.7, C3)
 Submissions in objection to the development. The objections relate to non-
compliance with the WWDCP 2010, impacts on near-by businesses (particularly
those frequented by children), and that the development is located in an area
frequented by children.
Assessment
 The application site is within the Wagga Wagga CBD and is zoned as B3
Commercial Core.
 The proposed development is to change the use of a premises that formerly
housed a ‘shop’ to a ‘restricted premises’.
 An under awning sign, two window signs, and a top hamper sign, with the
business name and logo are also proposed.
 The development is permitted with consent in the B3 zone, complies with the
controls of the Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan, and is consistent with
the relevant objectives of the WWLEP.
 The development complies with the Wagga Wagga Development Control Plan
2010 other than controls relating to the height of the top hamper sign, the
requirement for ‘restricted premises’ to be on the first floor in the B3 Commercial
Core Zone, and the requirement for ‘restricted premises’ to be 400m from
nominated ‘sensitive’ uses.
 The 400m buffer requirement control, if strictly applied, acts as a prohibition, and
is therefore likely to be of no force, as it is inconsistent with Section 3.42 of the
Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 which states the purpose of
a Development Control Plan is to facilitate development that is permissible under
a Local Environmental Plan, and Section 3.42(5) of the Act which states that a
provision of a DCP has no effect to the extent that it is inconsistent or incompatible
with a provision of an LEP applying to the land.

 Notwithstanding, variation to this control is considered justified and appropriate

as it is considerable distance and not visible from the ‘offended’ use (being the
Greek Orthodox Church in Tompson Street), and is consistent with relevant
objective that underpin the control.
 Variation to the first floor control is also considered justified and appropriate as
the premises achieves appropriate discreteness in presentation, with frosted
windows and limited signage. Furthermore, there is limited first floor retail space,
with appropriate access for all customers, in the Wagga Wagga Central Business
District.
 Variation to the top hamper sign height control is supported as the signage is of
similar scale and appearance to the signage on nearby premises, and will not
adversely impact on streetscape.
 There is an existing ‘restricted premises’ in the B3 zone that complies with neither
the 400m buffer control or the first floor control. Neither of these controls were in
place at the time that development was approved, but notwithstanding, this store
has operated for almost 20 years in this state without causing any apparent
impact on any sensitive uses or the community, despite being a similar distance
from a church.
 The variations to the controls proposed are also consistent with the principals of
previous decisions of the Land and Environment Court dealing with similar
applications for ‘restricted premises’, which the Court approved.
 The matters raised by the objections are not reasonable grounds to refuse the
Development Application.
 The provision of a range of shopping destinations in the Wagga Wagga Central
Business District helps to ensure the ongoing viability and vibrancy of the area,
by attracting shoppers to the area who will visit multiple premises, and the
development is therefore in the public interest.
Reasons for Approval
1. The proposed development is consistent with the provisions and objectives of the
Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan 2010.
2. The development is largely consistent with the controls of the Wagga Wagga
Development Control Plan 2010, and where it is not, the variations to the controls
are justifiable and reasonable, and the development meets the underpinning
objective.
3. The proposed development does not result in unacceptable impacts and is
considered to be in the public interest.
Site Location
The site is located on the western side of Baylis Street, approximately 15m north of the
corner of Baylis and Tompson Streets. The land is approximately 259.30m2 in size and
contains an existing ground floor commercial premises previously used as a shop, with
shop top housing above, in the form of a single dwelling. The site is surrounded by a
range of retail, business and office uses.

N/A
Policy
Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan 2010

The Environment
Objective: We plan for the growth of the city
Outcome: We have sustainable urban development
Refusal of the application may result in an appeal process in the Land and Environment
Court which will have to be defended by Council. The reasons for refusal will have to
be justified and withstand scrutiny and cross examination in Court, noting previous
similar applications have bene approved by the Court on appeal.
Approval of the application is not considered to raise risk management issues for
Council as the proposed development is generally consistent with LEP and DCP
controls, and where it is not, the variations are justifiable, appropriate and meet
relevant objectives.

Full details of the consultation that was carried out as part of the development
application assessment is contained in the attached s4.15 assessment report.

Report submitted to the Ordinary Meeting of Council on Monday 22 July 2019. RP-2
RP-2 30 JUNE 2019 INVESTMENT REPORT
Author: Carolyn Rodney

Director: Natalie Te Pohe
Summary: This report details Council’s external investments and

performance as at 30 June 2019.
Recommendation
That Council note details of the external investments as at 30 June 2019 in accordance
with section 625 of the Local Government Act 1993.
Report
This report includes details on the performance of Council’s investments at 30 June

2019.
Council has experienced a positive monthly investment performance for the month of
June, when compared to budget. This is mainly due to a higher than anticipated
portfolio balance and strong performance of Councils Managed Fund and Floating
Rate Notes.
The full impact of the interest revenue result will be considered as part of Councils
2018/19 Financial Statements.
Council’s investment portfolio continues to have a higher than anticipated investment

balance and continues to produce strong portfolio returns in this low interest
environment. Council’s portfolio returned 3.05% for the 2018/19 financial year,
outperforming the AusBond Bank Bill Index by 1.08% for the year.
The normal monthly financial report is not included in the Business papers this month
due to the commencement of the year-end process and preparation of the financial
statements for auditing. The 2018/19 Financial Statements will be presented to Council
in October 2019 which will highlight and provide analysis on Council’s overall financial
performance and position for the 2018/19 financial year. Council’s Independent Auditor
will present the 2018/19 Audit Report at the November 2019 Council meeting.

Investment Summary as at 30 June 2019

In accordance with Regulation 212 of the Local Government (General) Regulation
2005, details of Wagga Wagga City Council’s external investments are outlined below:

EQUIVALENTS &
INVESTMENTS
Council’s investment portfolio is dominated by Term Deposits, equating to

approximately 51% of the portfolio across a broad range of counterparties. Cash
equates to 11%, with Floating Rate Notes (FRNs) around 37% and growth funds
around 1% of the portfolio.
Council’s investment portfolio is well diversified in complying assets across the entire
credit spectrum. It is also well diversified from a rating perspective. Credit quality is
diversified and is predominately invested amongst the investment grade Authorised
Deposit-Taking Institutions (ADIs) (being BBB- or higher), with a smaller allocation to
unrated ADIs.

All investments are within the defined Policy limits, as outlined in the Rating Allocation
chart below:

Investment Portfolio Balance
Council’s investment portfolio balance has decreased from the previous month’s
balance, down from $137.2M to $133.2M.
MONTHLY INVESTMENT MOVEMENTS
Redemptions/Sales – Council redeemed the following investment securities during

June 2019:

BOQ Floating $2M 5 years BBSW + This floating rate note was
Rate Note 110 redeemed on maturity and funds

New Investments – Council did not invest in any new investment securities during
June 2019.
Rollovers – Council rolled over the following investment security during June 2019:
Institution Amount Investment Interest Comments

and Type Term Rate
AMP Term $2M 6 months 2.65% This term deposit was a 12-
Deposit month investment at 2.95% and
was rolled at maturity into a 6
month term deposit at 2.65%.
MONTHLY PERFORMANCE
Interest/growth/capital gains for the month totalled $399,675, which compares

favourably with the budget for the period of $296,529, outperforming budget for the
month by $103,146.
Council’s T-Corp Long Term Growth Fund contributed to the overall performance for
the month of June, as domestic and international markets continued their strong start
to the year. The fund was up 3.25% for the month of June and has returned 10.00%
per annum since the original investment in March 2014. Overall, the Growth Fund
remains Council’s best performing asset over 3 years by a considerable margin.

It is important to note Council’s investment portfolio balance is tracking well above what
was originally predicted. This is mainly due to the timing of some of the major projects
that are either not yet commenced or not as advanced as originally predicted. Further
analysis of the capital works program and revised timing of projects has recently been
reported to Council. This will result in Councils investment portfolio continuing to
maintain a higher balance until these projects commence or advance further.
The longer-dated deposits in the portfolio, particularly those locked in above 3.50%,
have previously anchored Council’s portfolio performance. It should be noted that the
portfolio now only includes two investments yielding above 3.50%. Council staff and
Council’s Independent Financial Advisor will continue to identify opportunities to lock
in higher yielding investments as they become available.
In comparison to the AusBond Bank Bill Index* (1.97%), Council’s investment portfolio
returned 3% (annualised) for June. Cash and At-Call accounts returned 2.09%
(annualised) for this period. These funds are utilised for daily cash flow management
and need to be available to meet operating and contractual payments as they fall due.
Over the past year, Councils investment portfolio has returned 3.05%, outperforming
the AusBond Bank Bill index by 1.08%. Council’s Independent Financial Advisor,
Imperium Markets, outlined that with regards to its total investment portfolio, Wagga
Wagga City Council remains one of the best performing local government entities in
the country.

* The AusBond Bank Bill Index is the leading benchmark for the Australian fixed income
market. It is interpolated from the RBA Cash rate, 1 month and 3 month Bank Bill Swap rates.

2018/19 capital and operating project budget revotes and works

Recommendation

a approve the proposed 2018/19 capital and operating project budget revotes as
presented in this report
b note the 2018/19 capital and operating project works in progress transfers as
presented in this report
Report
This report provides a summary of the 2018/19 capital works in progress (including
multi-year projects) and those projects that have not yet commenced as at 30 June
2019.
The adoption of the recommendation will enable the revote of the funding allocation
from the 2018/19 budget for projects that have not commenced to the 2019/20 budget.
The report also highlights the various works in progress as at 30 June 2019 noting that
the unexpended funds will automatically transfer to the 2019/20 financial year without
the need for a Council resolution, as per Section 211 of the Local Government
(General) Regulation 2005.
The estimated works in progress and revote figures that are presented in this report
are subject to change pending the finalisation of the 2018/19 financial statements.
The usual monthly financial report is not included in the Business paper due to the
commencement of the year-end process and preparation of the financial statements
for auditing. The 2018/19 Financial Statements will be presented to Council in October
2019 which will highlight and provide analysis on Council’s overall financial
performance and position for the 2018/19 financial year. Council’s Independent Auditor
will present the 2018/19 Audit Report at the November 2019 Council meeting.
2018/19 Project Revotes and Works in Progress Transfers
The tables included in the Attachment provide details of the total capital works program
for 2018/19, the projects recommended for revoting and the works in progress. Below

Table D i) Operating Project Revotes $830,500
Table D ii) Operating Income Project Revotes $399,327
Table E Operating Project – Works in Progress $2,561,675
By approving in principal these requests, the total 2019/20 revised capital works
program will be:
$ 76,730,870 – 2019/20 Adopted Capital Works Budget

$ 4,984,596 – Requested for Revote and as Works in Progress Transfers*

*The estimated Revotes and Works in Progress figures that are presented in this report are subject to change
pending the finalisation of the 2018/19 financial statements.
Please be advised once the financial year is finalised and the outstanding
commitments have been determined which year they relate to, the 2018/19 budget
revotes and works in progress transfer amounts may increase to a maximum of
$8,457,504 for Capital Projects and $4,499,987 for Operating Projects/Programs. The
$4,984,596 figure shown above for Capital ($723,499 + $4,261,097) assumes all
current outstanding commitments will be paid from the 2018/19 financial year budget.
Local Government (General) Regulation 2005
211 Authorisation of expenditure

(1) A council, or a person purporting to act on behalf of a council, must not incur
a liability for the expenditure of money unless the council at the annual
meeting held in accordance with subclause (2) or at a later ordinary meeting:
(a) has approved the expenditure, and
(b) has voted the money necessary to meet the expenditure.
(2) A council must each year hold a meeting for the purpose of approving
expenditure and voting money.
(3) All such approvals and votes lapse at the end of a council’s financial year.
However, this subclause does not apply to approvals and votes relating to:
(a) work carried out or started, or contracted to be carried out, for the council,
or
(b) any service provided, or contracted to be provided, for the council, or
(c) goods or materials provided, or contracted to be provided, for the council,
or
(d) facilities provided or started, or contracted to be provided, for the council,
before the end of the year concerned, or to the payment of remuneration
to members of the council’s staff.


There are a range of risks associated with this report, particularly if Council determine
not to approve the operating and capital revotes. The justification for the revote relating
to each project is outlined in the Attachment, which highlights some of the potential
risks for Council.
All relevant areas within Council have consulted with the Finance Division in regards
to the project revotes and carryovers listed in this report.

RP-5 ACTIVE TRAVEL PLAN - OUTCOMES OF COMMUNITY

CONSULTATION AND FINAL PROPOSED ROUTES
Author: Ben Creighton

Director: Caroline Angel
Summary: Council has signed a funding deed from the NSW Government for
the implementation of the Wagga Wagga Active Travel Plan. This
report provides information regarding the outcomes of the recently
completed community engagement activities.
Recommendation
That Council:
a note the submissions received relating to the active routes
b approve the following links for detailed design and construction
i Levee Link without change from the business case
ii University Link without change from the business case
iii Kapooka Link without change from the business case
iv Red Hill Link – without change from the business case with the potential to
include a crossing of Red Hill road at the Tamar Drive intersection following
investigations during the detailed design
v Kooringal Link – without change from the business case
vi Morgan Link – without change from the business case
vii Wollundry Link – without change from the business case
viii Bourke Link – without change from the business case
ix Forest Hill Link – utilising Kyeamba Avenue and then the rail corridor East
of Bakers lane to Elizabeth Avenue with a secondary route from the rail
corridor north to Elizabeth Avenue behind the Brunslea Park estate
x Central Link – utilising Murray Street north to the Esplanade subject to the
installation of traffic lights at the Edward Street, Murray Street intersection.
If lights are not installed at the Murray Street crossing by June 2020, Fox
Street will be utilised for the Central Link in accordance with the business
case.
c authorise the General Manager or their delegate to enter into agreements with
the relevant parties to:
i access and utilise the rail corridor between Baker’s Lane and Elizabeth
Avenue for the construction of the Forest Hill link
ii access and utilise land to the west of Brunslea Park estate for the Forest Hill
link
iii access and utilise defence land for the construction for the Kapooka link
iv maintain the active travel path on defence land
v utilise a cycling and pedestrian bridge over the rail corridor east of Fox Street
(to be constructed by others)

vi access and utilise land along the identified corridors as required.

d note the rail corridor between Kooringal Road and Bakers Lane is not currently
available for an active travel link however, if access becomes available in the
future it could become the Forest Hill Link and funding sought for its construction
at that time.
Report
At the ordinary meeting of Council held 9 July 2018 a detailed report on community
engagement on the Active Travel Plan was considered (Attachment 1). It was resolved:
That Council:
a acknowledge receipt of two petitions supporting the southern alignment for
the Forest Hill Link
b note the stakeholder and public submissions received during the community
feedback period
c thank the community and key stakeholders for their input into the proposed
cycling links
d endorse the recommended links to be included in the business case for
submission to the NSW State Government as a part of the project
assurance review process
e note that ongoing consultation will occur generally with the community and
specifically with landowners and occupiers adjacent to the routes during the
detailed design and construction phases of the project
f authorise the General Manager or their delegate to negotiate and enter into
easements, rights of way or access agreements where it is proposed that
an active travel route be constructed on land which is not owned by Council
g authorise the affixing of Council’s Common Seal to all relevant documents
as required
h note that a further report will be provided to Council on the outcome of the
gateway assessment process, and further information regarding the
detailed budget
i request staff conduct additional consultation with the residents and
landowners of Fox Street before finalising the project’s detailed design.
This report is in response to point e and point i of the resolution and details the
outcomes of the intensive community engagement completed on the routes identified
for inclusion in the business case.
In order to engage with the community on the proposed routes staff completed a wide
variety of community engagement activities that included:
 Sending of approximately 1600 letters to residents and property owners

adjacent to the proposed routes
 Seven public meetings
 Stakeholder meetings inclusive of emergency services, community
organisations and schools.

Although all routes were discussed, much of the resulting community feedback was
primarily focused on two routes, being the Forest Hill link and Central link. The map
below (and attached) represents the final routes recommended for construction
(Attachment 2).
Public Exhibition Outcomes:
Levee Link
The Levee Link received minimal feedback during this round of consultation other than
positive comments on the section that had already been completed as part of the Levee
construction contract.

University Link
The University Link was well supported. wo points for consideration were highlighted.
They were:
 Connection to Boorooma
 Bridge Crossings
Connection to Boorooma
Boorooma’s existing cycle way network will be connected to the active travel network
as shown below.
Bridge Crossings
The cost estimate for a standalone pedestrian bridge is estimated to be in excess of

$2,000,000. The cost estimate for a bolt on bridge on the Wiradjuri Bridge is estimated
to be in excess of $1,000,000 and significantly greater for the Gobbagombalin Bridge.
The Wagga Wagga Integrated Transport Strategy action ILU3.7 states that Council
approach TfNSW and RMS and “Lobby and negotiate for duplication of the
Gobbagombalin Bridge.” As a part of these discussions, staff will be requesting that
better pedestrian and cycling access is provided across the Bridge.
Neither option is considered financially feasible for implementation for this stage of the
project however, they could be considered in a future phase if funding were to become
available.
Kapooka Link
Minimal feedback was received on the Kapooka Link other than from discussions held
specifically with Defence staff. Feedback received included:
 Demand for the link

 Opportunity for the link to provide additional access to Silvalite for anti-social
behaviour.
Demand for link
During Stakeholder conversations, it was identified that a large number of Defence

personnel already ride. It is expected this will increase significantly with the
infrastructure improvements.

Opportunity for the link to provide additional access to Silvalite for anti-social
behaviour
No additional access will be generated through Silvalite reserve as the proposed link
will be an upgrade and slight realignment of an existing path.
Red Hill Link
The Red Hill Link is supported as an important east west link that connects several
Links, during the discussion, two points raised were:
 If the link could be constructed on the southern side of the road

 If an intersection could be constructed across Red Hill road at Tamar Drive.
Use of Southern side of the Road

The use of the Southern side of the road was an initial concept explored however
during the reference design phase it was identified that the Northern service road
provided a better outcome as it allows cyclists to avoid close interactions with vehicles
at the top of Red Hill Road within the cut-out. The Northern service road also has a
smaller gradient than the Southern access that would be required to go over the hill
without using the cut out.
Crossing at Tamar Drive

The construction of a crossing at Tamar Drive is supported and will be investigated
during the detailed design phase.
Kooringal Link
Minimal feedback was received on the Kooringal Road Link. The items discussed
included:
 Access across the Christian College driveways

 Impact of flooding on under road crossings at Marshalls Creek
 Residential driveway crossings along Kooringal Road.
Access across the Christian College Driveways

Ongoing discussions are being undertaken with the Christian College on these
crossing points. Initial detailed traffic counts have been completed at peak school pick
up and drop off times with further consultation and discussion to be completed during
the detailed design phase of the project.
Impact of flooding on under road crossings

This issue was identified during the concept design phase for consideration in the
safety in design review that will be completed during the detailed design phase.
Residential driveways along Kooringal Road

The section of cycleway between the Exhibition Centre and Lake Albert Road cross
several driveways. This is an existing path that will be upgraded with safety
enhancements during the detailed design and construction phases of the project.

Morgan Street Link
The Morgan Street Link was supported however the traffic volumes that are associated
with the CBD and Tarcutta Street were raised as an issue. Staff are currently
completing modelling on this intersection and will review options during the detailed
design phase including the possible signalisation of the intersection.
Wollundry Link
The Wollundry link had very little discussion or feedback during the community
engagement period.
Bourke Link
The use of the eastern service road in Bourke Street was generally supported with a
majority of the discussion relating to technical design issues. These included:
 Access across the Bourke Street – Fernleigh Road Intersection

 Access across the Tolland Shopping Centre driveway
 Prioritisation of traffic movements when using the service lanes at cross
street intersections.
All these issues have been noted and will be considered as a part of the detailed design
safety in design review.
Forest Hill Link
A significant number of submissions were received on the Forest Hill link. These
related to:
 Use of the Rail Corridor between Bakers Lane and Elizabeth Avenue
 Use of the Rail Corridor between Bakers Lane and Kooringal Road
 Not using the Southern Alignment at the back of Laurel Road
 Use of alternative alignments.
Use of Rail Corridor between Bakers Lane and Elizabeth Avenue
Staff have previously received in principle approval to use a small amount of rail
corridor under licence where the rail corridor acts as a property boundary. Based on
the feedback and support from a wide range of stakeholders, staff will now seek to
create a link the entire length of the corridor between Bakers Lane and Elizabeth
Avenue. The surrounding landowner has previously indicated support for use of the
land which will be critical in gaining the approval.
Use of Rail Corridor between Bakers Lane and Kooringal Road
Many of the submissions requested that Council endorse the utilisation of the rail
corridor as the alignment of the Eastern Link and seek approval from the NSW
Government to utilise the corridor.

The advice Staff have received on the use of this corridor is that State Government
approval for the use of this land is not likely to be forthcoming in the near future and
not within the Active Travel Project timeframes. Therefore, this option cannot be
considered for inclusion at this time.
It should also be noted that the use of the rail corridor between Bakers Lane and
Kooringal Road is strongly opposed by the adjacent landowner (Attachment 3) and the
Australian Clay Target Association. This opposition would be a significant
consideration in any future use of the corridor.
Not using the Southern Alignment at the back of Laurel Road
During the community engagement there was significant opposition to the use of the
proposed alignment along the back of Laurel Road due to security, safety and privacy
concerns. Staff met with the land owners on a number of occasions, who provided
detailed advice on their concerns. After receiving this feedback Staff put forward an
alternative option utilising Kyeamba Avenue.
Alternative Route
In the 28 May 2018 Council report Council considered another option for the Forest
Hill link. This route, highlighted below in blue, aims to make use of existing drainage
corridors, undeveloped road corridors and private land to access across to Bakers
Lane.
An initial review of the alternative options has determined that it might be possible to
construct this route, however, it would be subject to a number of approvals and
considerations including:
 Statutory approval for removal of vegetation adjoining the waterway

 Statutory approvals for the removal of vegetation under Local Lands
Services Act 2013
 Impact of stormwater flow down Marshall’s Creek
 Approval for access through private property to construct the path.
This option is also strongly opposed by the Australia Clay Target Association. Given
these constraints and opposition it is not recommended that this option be pursued.
Kyeamba Avenue Route Option
After receiving significant feedback on the southern alignment (as detailed above) staff
put forward an alternative option utilising Kyeamba Avenue. To ensure community
support Kyeamba Avenue residents were invited to a community meeting. Feedback
from the meeting was quite positive with the residents in attendance unanimously
supporting the concept.
During broader discussions Staff have received feedback from sections of the
community that they believe the rail corridor would be a safer option and they would
like Council to utilise this. They believe that the two crossings of Vincent Road and the
crossing of driveways would be less safe than an alternative where there were no road
crossings and no driveway crossings.
Although the reduction of road crossings and driveways will always result in less
opportunities for interactions with other vehicles this is difficult to achieve for an entire
network. The intersection of Kooringal Road and Vincent Road is an existing cycleway
and regardless of the route chosen for the Forest Hill link, the intersection will have to
be crossed to provide access to Lake Albert and Red Hill Road. The safety of this
intersection will be improved as a part of this Active Travel project.
Other safety considerations for road and driveway crossings will be incorporated into
all links during the detailed design phase of the project.

It is recommended that Council proceed with the Kyeamba Avenue alignment for
detailed design and construction however, if the rail corridor becomes available in the
future it could become the Forest Hill Link and funding could be sought for its
construction at that time.
Central (Southern) Link
A number of concerns have been raised by community members in regards to the use
of Fox Street for the central link. It was proposed that Fox Street be utilised due to its
proximity to the Fox Street/Sturt Highway intersection traffic lights crossing.
Since then Council has released the draft Health and Knowledge Precinct Master Plan
(currently on public exhibition) and has been in receipt of a significant planning
proposal for an area in Morgan/Murray Street.
Given the impact of this planning a change in the route utilising Murray Street north to
the Esplanade would provide better access to these areas for the community.
However, this would be subject to the installation of traffic lights at the Edward Street,
Murray Street intersection to allow a safe crossing of Edward Street.
Council has received advice from Transport for NSW that Roads and Maritime Staff
are currently assessing options for this intersection that has a crash history, however
lights are not funded in the forward estimates (Attachment 4).
It is proposed that if lights are installed during the life of the project that the Murray
Street alignment be utilised. However, if lights are not installed at the Murray Street
crossing by June 2020, Fox Street would be utilised for the Central Link in accordance
with the business case with the final road configuration to be determined during
detailed design.

End of Trip Facilities
There are two proposed end of trip facilities to be developed within the current project.
These include facilities within the Bolton Park Precinct and facilities adjacent to the
Visitor Information Centre.
Staff have also held discussions with NSW Health and Wagga Wagga Base Hospital
management concerning the development of a third end of trip facility. Initial
discussions were positive, and it was recognised this would be of significant benefit to
hospital staff and could possibly be included as part of the scope for their future car
park development.
Agreements with Third Party Land Owners
Two of the proposed routes utilise land that is not owned or controlled by Council. This
land relates to the Forest Hill and Kapooka Links. Staff have conducted initial
discussions with these landowners in regard to the arrangements that would allow
access for the construction of the paths on these particular properties.
Based on these discussions, it is anticipated that the arrangements that will be put in
place will be a combination of licences, easements, formal agreements and/or the
dedication of land to Council through future developments.
Subject to Council endorsement of the proposed routes staff will commence

negotiating the formal agreements that will allow for the construction of the cycleways
on these Links.
The total cost of constructing the Active Travel routes is $12,806,991 with $11,352,600
to be funded from the NSW Governments Cycling Infrastructure Fund and the
remaining $1,454,391 to be funded from developer contributions.
Council is required to expend these funds and complete the project by May 2021.

Objective: We plan for the growth of the city
Outcome: We have sustainable urban development
Financial – Previous implementation cost estimates were based on the concept design.
The final implementation cost will be subject to the detailed design and construction
methods.
Other risks associated with constructing the Active Travel links relate to process,
environmental, WHS and contractor performance. These risks will be addressed as
part of the Council’s project management and contractor performance management
systems.
A significant amount of community engagement has been completed for this project as
detailed in the previous Council reports (Attachment 1).
In addition to the previous consultation undertaken a significant amount of new

engagement was completed as a part of finalising the routes. This included:
 Sending of approximately 1600 letters to residents and property owners

adjacent to the proposed routes
 Seven public meetings (Attachment 5)
 Stakeholder meetings inclusive of State Member Dr Joe McGirr, emergency
services, community organisations and schools

RP-7 NARRUNG STREET SEWER TREATMENT PLANT - EFFLUENT

REUSE
Author: Sylvester Otieno

Summary: This report explores possibilities of utilising treated sewer effluent

to irrigate additional sports fields and parks within Wagga Wagga
and to assist with increasing water levels at Lake Albert.
Reusing treated effluent for these purposes would ensure that

water is available at sustainable and sufficient levels, all-year-
round for maintaining existing ovals, opens spaces and gardens
including additional facilities with the growth of the city as well
there would be capacity to divert water into Lake Albert to enable
consistent recreational activities on the Lake Albert.
As the city continues to grow, the ability to maintain additional

sporting ovals and parks to a high standard, is a key element of
this plan.
The report also provides information of the Lake Albert Precinct

Rejuvenation Project.
Recommendation
That Council:
a adopts in principle Scenario 4 as detailed in this report
b receive a further report once Section 60 approval has been obtained from the
NSW Department of Primary Industries - Water
c not pursue the use of Murrumbidgee River water for Lake Albert
d approves the budget variation as detailed in the Financial Implications section of
the report for preparation and submission of application for Section 60 approval
for Scenario 4 as detailed in this report
Report
The Narrung Street Sewer Treatment Plant (STP) is located at Narrung Street, Wagga
Wagga and is approximately two kilometres north of the Central Business District. The
plant treats wastewater from most of the city’s urban area as well as North Wagga,
Estella, Boorooma and the Bomen Industrial Area. Sewage from the industrial area
initially undergoes pre-treatment at the Bomen Industrial Pre-treatment Sewage
Treatment Facility, commonly known as the BISTF.
Narrung Street STP is designed for an Average Dry Weather Flow (ADWF) of 17.5
ML/day, a Peak Wet Weather Flow of 70 ML/day and can handle a peak instantaneous
flow of 870 L/s.

Raw sewage is treated via a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR, southern plant) and
Orbal Aeration Tank (northern plant), biological and chemical phosphorous reduction
and dual media filtration with chlorination/dechlorination. The final effluent is
discharged either into the Murrumbidgee River or into two 30 kL reuse balance tanks.
Disinfection of recycled water is currently provided by injecting Sodium Hypochlorite
upstream of the balance tanks.

Proposed Additional Treatment

Additional treatment is required to comply with pathogen log reduction. Council
undertook a risk assessment and determined the required log reduction targets for the
use of water as unrestricted municipal irrigation as per NSW Guidelines for Recycled
Water Management Systems (2015). Table 2 shows the targets along with pathogen
reduction credits applied to each existing treatment process.
Ultrafiltration Membrane Treatment

This process will remove pathogens and achieve log reduction of 2.5 – 4.0 for viruses,
4.0 for protozoa and 3.5 – 4.0 for bacteria.
Ultraviolet Disinfection
This process will follow ultrafiltration membrane treatment and will achieve log
reduction of 1.0 – 4.0 for Adenovirus, 3.0 – 4.0 for protozoa and 2.0 -4.0 for bacteria.
Post Chlorination
This process will be preceded by ultraviolet disinfection and will achieve log reduction
of 2.0 – 4.0 for bacteria, 0 -0.5 for protozoa and 1.0 – 4.0 for viruses.

Nutrient Removal
This process would reduce the amount of Phosphorus and Nitrogen introduced into
the lake. The two elements provide nutrients for algal growth. This process has not
been included in the proposed additional treatment in this report.
Table 3 shows a comparison of average nutrient levels of effluent leaving Narrung

Street STP and that at the Lake.
Table 3: Comparison of Nutrient Levels

Nutrient Narrung St STP (ppm) Lake Albert (ppm)
Phosphorus 0.101 0.27
Nitrogen 4.77 1.93
Approvals
A variation to the existing EPA licence will be required, and an agreement will be
needed as the EPA could have issues with the reduction of discharge into Marshalls
Creek and the Murrumbidgee River, which would affect ecosystems, community and
downstream irrigators.
Council would need to prepare a Recycled Water Quality Management Plan and Water
Quality Monitoring Program, compliant with the Australian Guidelines for Water
Recycling: Managing Health and Environmental Risks (Phase 1, NRMMC, 2006). A
Section 60 approval by Department of Industry Water (DOI Water) is required for water
use, infrastructure design, and finished construction.
NSW Health will be consulted as part of the Section 60 approval process. The likely
issues to be tables would include risks to human health from pathogens, hormones,
drugs (legal and illegal), and PFAS.

Approval Process
Below is a summary of the stages of the approval process.
Risk

Lake Albert Level scenarios

The following scenarios were considered during the councillor workshop held on July
1, 2019. The workshop selected Scenario 4 and recommended detailed investigation
with a view of implementing the scenario.
 Scenario 1 – All treated effluent currently released to Murrumbidgee River and

Marshalls Creek is released into the Lake
 Scenario 2 – Treated effluent is used to irrigate other sports fields then the
remaining quantity is released into the Lake
 Scenario 3 – All treated effluent from Kooringal STP is used to irrigate other
sports fields and all treated effluent from Narrung Street STP is released into
the Lake
 Scenario 4 – All treated effluent from Kooringal STP is released into Marshalls
Creek and treated effluent from Narrung Street STP is used to irrigate other
sports fields and the balance is released into the Lake
In Scenario 4, 2,778Ml from Narrung Street STP would be released into the lake.
Therefore, the lake level would rise by 2.3m.
Evaporation from the lake has been calculated to be an average 4.7mm/day,

translating annually to 1.7m. Hence the net rise in the lake’s level is 0.6m.
This scenario would ensure that Marshalls Creek continues to get its essential water
that is also used to irrigate the Equex and McDonalds Park.

Figure 2: Proposed Reticulation Network for Scenario 4
Scenario 4 – Implementation
Starting point would be obtaining Section 60 approval from NSW Department of
Primary Industries – Water. This would be followed by design, and construction of the
plant upgrade and reticulation.
The high-level cost estimates are presented in Table 5. The cost estimate for upgrading
Narrung Street STP comprises of Ultra-violet disinfection, Membrane Filtration and
Post-chlorination systems. It would take approximately 18 months to implement these
works.
Reticulation cost estimate consists of 20km and 6km respectively of 450mm and
250mm diameter PE mains, and 6 booster pump stations. The estimate is based on
ideal conditions.

The estimate for capital costs include 20% contingency and 10% project management
costs.

Update on the potential Lake Albert Precinct Rejuvenation Project

The Lake Albert Precinct Rejuvenation Project would see the construction of
infrastructure allowing 1,000ML of water to be pumped each year from the
Murrumbidgee River to the Lake. This project element would see a 5,400m pipeline
constructed from the river to the lake. The pipeline would be capable of pumping
1,000ML of water over 75 days, pumping 20 hour per day at a rate of 0.67ML/hour.
This would be pumped from the Riverina Water plant on Hammond Avenue along
Kooringal Road and then via Lake Albert Road before discharging into Lake Albert.
Cost to achieve the pipeline as follows:
Cost of construction $3,047,129

High security water $3,000,000
Ongoing costs (yearly) $413,381
The rejuvenation project also includes the remediation of 2,350m of Lake Albert
foreshore to address significant erosion issues (cost $1,987,400). It is required due to
the fluctuating water levels of the Lake and the high use of Lake Albert by watercraft
and in particular, wave generating vessels. The remediation will include:
 demolition of existing concrete retaining walls

 removal of concrete blocks and other rubble that has previously been used to
tie up boats
 installation of Eclorock, reinforced sand bags to a height of two bags
 installation of rock wall reinforcements
 re-sanding of the shoreline area once works have been completed
Council is seeking $5M from the Regional Growth – Environment and Tourism Fund to
undertake rejuvenation of the Lake Albert Precinct. This already popular area will then
become a catalyst to the upwards growth trajectory of the city. Alongside Regional
Growth funding, Council would be required to contribute $3,407,129M towards the
delivery of this project. Based on the environmental benefits of utilising reuse water for
recreational purposes, it is recommended that this option not be pursued.

The estimated cost to progress Scenario 4 to Section 60 approval stage with the
Department of Primary Industries – Water is estimated to cost $100K. It is proposed to
fund this from the Sewer Fund, which has current capacity to fund this $100K.
As noted in the resolution, a further report will be presented to Council once the Section
60 approval has been given, which will include further budget requirements.

RP-8 STREET SWEEPER STOCKPILE - WAIVING OF GREGADOO WASTE

MANAGEMENT CENTRE FEES
Author: Sylvester Otieno

Summary: The purpose of this report is to seek a waiver of weighbridge fees

at the Gregadoo Waste Management Centre, for street sweeper
waste currently stockpiled at Narrung Street.
Recommendation
That Council:
a endorse the waiving of Gregadoo Waste Management Centre weighbridge fees
to transfer approximately 2,300 cubic meters (2,760 tonnes) of street sweeper
waste currently stockpiled at Narrung Street
b approve the budget variations as detailed in the Financial Implications section of
the report
c receive a further report on options to address the ongoing disposal of street
sweeper material appropriately.
Report
Council undertakes daily street sweeping activities that generate waste that needs to
be disposed of appropriately. The volume of material increases markedly during the
autumn period particularly in the Central Business District (CBD).
Street sweeper material has been stockpiled at Narrung Street for approximately 10 -
12 years. This site is used because of its proximity to the CBD, where most of the
sweepings originate.
Figure 1: Location of Narrung Street Sweeper Waste Transfer Station
The location being used was previously adjacent to the sewage treatment plant settling
ponds. However, it is now directly opposite the entrance of the Marrambidya Wetlands
and is negatively impacting the first impression of one of the city’s newest attractions.
The material is also located within the floodplain which is another factor to consider in
relation to its location.
The sweeper material is primarily a mix of dirt, dust and leaves, with a small volume of
entrained rubbish including the following:
 grit, sand, silt
 broken glass, bottles, cans and other rubbish/litter
 water
 leaves and other vegetation
 small dead animals
 oil, heavy metals, diesel and other hydrocarbons from vehicle exhausts
 pesticides & herbicides
Approximately 12,000 cubic meters (14,400 tonnes) of sweeper waste is generated

annually. The current practice is to monthly transfer material from the stockpile to
GWMC. Volume of the existing stockpile is approximately 2,300 cubic meters.
One of the outcomes from the Councillor Workshop held on July 1, 2019 was to clean
the current stockpile before the Corroboree in October 2019. Therefore, staff are
requesting that Council waive the estimated GWMC weighbridge fees of approximately
$364,000 for 2,300 cubic metres (2,760 tonnes) of material. The cost to transfer the
material is estimated to be around $29,000 and it is requested that this be funded from
the Solid Waste Reserve.
Meanwhile, staff are exploring options of how best to deal with the street sweeper
waste in future. These options that were discussed in the Workshop include the
following:
 transfer the waste directly to GWMC

 stockpile the waste in a sealed hook bin then transfer to GWMC
 acquire an EPA waste transporter license
 construct a transfer station at Kooringal Sewer Treatment Plant
As noted in the report above, the estimated fee waiver for the weighbridge fees is
$364,000 for the 2,300 cubic metres (2,760 tonnes) of material. The cost to transfer
the material is estimated to be around $29,000 and it is requested that this be funded
from the Solid Waste Reserve.
Financial Assistance Policy (POL 078)

Sections 377 and 610 of the Local Government Act 1993
The Environment
Objective: We create a sustainable environment for future generations
Outcome: We are proactive with our waste management

 If the fee is not waived the cost to transfer the materials to the GWMC will cause
a serious overrun of existing operational budgets or curtail the delivery of
budgeted services
 The material is stockpiled within the floodplain and is outside the levee
 The material is currently located at the entrance of one of the city’s tourist
attractions and would be an eyesore during the Corroboree

Report
Over the past eight months Council has undertaken a complete review of all Council
Delegations. That process has now been completed with the delegations to be rolled
out to staff following final review by the General Manager. The aim of this review was
to ensure appropriate officers have been provided with the level of authority necessary
to discharge their responsibilities and to ensure delegations are clear, consistent and
lawful.
In addition, the review was undertaken to ensure that delegation of decision making is
undertaken in a way that achieves best use of the abilities of elected representatives
and officers, ensures cost effective use of resources, and promotes the development
of efficient and effective management.
Proper management of delegations is integral in ensuring the enforceability of

decisions and actions and ensuring there are no adverse legal and administrative
consequences for Council.
Following the abovementioned review, the Delegations Policy has also been reviewed
and revised in consultation with Council staff and the Audit, Risk and Improvement
Committee.
The proposed amendments include new and expanded provisions on the following,
which support the existing intent and objectives of the Policy:
 Expanded Policy Objectives

 Revised Delegation Principles
 Inclusion of a new section on financial transactions
 Updating of related policies

 Expanded and additional provisions outlining how delegations must be

exercised
