Proposal
Council is in receipt of an application to amend the Wagga Wagga Local Environmental Plan 2010 (LEP) to reduce the minimum lot size from 2 hectares to 5,000m² (Attachment 1).
The purpose of the planning proposal is to allow intensification of an existing large lot residential area.
Changes proposed in the application would be achieved by amending the minimum lot size map to reflect the outcomes shown in figure 1.
Figure 1: Proposed changes to the minimum lot size map (as per application)
Recommended Amendments
An addendum is proposed (Attachment 2) based on an assessment of the large lot residential area in Olearia Place where the 2-hectare minimum lot size provision is applied shows lots are predominantly around 5,000m² in size. The assessment report is provided as Attachment 3.
Based on the existing lot pattern, available services, and character of the area, it is proposed to expand the proposed minimum lot size to properties in Olearia Place. Expanding the 5,000m² minimum lot size to this location will acknowledge the existing lot size pattern of the area.
The proposed changes could result in an additional 20 lots being developed in this location.
Whilst there may be merit in considering further expansion of the reduction in minimum lot size, it is not proposed at this stage due to land constraints with overland flow flooding and easements.
The proposed extension will achieve the changes proposed but would apply the changes to a larger area than submitted by the applicant. The changes will be achieved by amending the minimum lot size map to reflect the outcomes shown in figure 2.
Figure 2: Proposed change to minimum lot size map (as amended)
The expansion will incorporate additional land along Olearia Place to the west of the proposal site to recognise the current subdivision pattern and lot configuration of the area. The extended area will incorporate the following properties:
§ Lot 33 DP1127002, 1 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 32 DP1127002, 2 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 31 DP1127002, 3 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 30 DP1127002, 4 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 29 DP1127002, 5 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 28 DP1127002, 6 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 27 DP1127002, 7 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 26 DP1127002, 8 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 25 DP1127002, 9 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 24 DP1127002, 10 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 23 DP1127002, 11 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 22 DP1127002, 12 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 21 DP1127002, 16 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 20 DP1127002, 15 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 19 DP1127002, 17 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 18 DP1127002, 18 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 17 DP1127002, 19 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 16 DP1127002, 20 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
§ Lot 15 DP1127002, 21 Olearia Place, Lake Albert
Site and Locality
The site is located on Gregadoo Road approximately 8 kilometres south of the Wagga Wagga Central Business District. The site is an existing large lot residential area located on the southern fringe of the city.
Key Considerations
The planning proposal has been assessed against Council’s strategies, policies and guidelines, the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment’s Guideline for preparing planning proposals and the Ministerial Directions. The key considerations are identified below, and the full assessment report is provided as Attachment 3.
1. Precinct considerations
When considering changes to planning provisions, consideration is to be given to applying the changes to a larger precinct rather than applying at a smaller scale achieving site specific outcomes.
There are no specific precinct size requirements, and each precinct is determined by looking at the existing development patterns and land constraints and opportunities.
For this planning proposal, the precinct is determined based on the existing lot size pattern of Olearia Place, overland flooding to the south and west, bushfire to the north, and an electricity easement to the west as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Precinct Boundary
2. Council’s Vision or Strategic Intent
There is general support for the planning proposal in both local and regional policies.
· Riverina Murray Regional Plan 2036
The Riverina Murray Regional Plan 2036 (RMRP) outlines a goal to promote the growth of regional cities and local centres.
The planning proposal will promote the growth of regional cities and local centres by increasing the supply of housing within the city.
· Wagga Wagga Local Strategic Planning Statement – Wagga Wagga 2040
The Wagga Wagga Local Strategic Planning Statement – Wagga Wagga 2040 (LSPS) was adopted on 8 February 2021 and provides a blueprint for how and where Wagga Wagga will grow into the future. It sets out Council’s 20-year vision for land use planning under key themes and principles.
The subject land is identified as ‘residential land’ in the LSPS with the aim to manage growth with infrastructure.
The planning proposal is consistent with the key principles as it avoids environmentally sensitive land and encourages growth in a sustainable manner, provides for sustainable infrastructure and improves housing supply and diversity.
3. Infrastructure
Matters regarding infrastructure and services have been investigated as part of the preparation of the planning proposal. Planning Proposals that change the minimum lot size provisions, generally require significant infrastructure studies to ensure development can be supported. With the limitations on how far the proposed changes can be applied and the limited additional lots that could be achieved, the infrastructure capacity is more easily addressed.
A summary of the key infrastructure considerations is summarised below:
· Stormwater:
Stormwater is currently managed via table drains along Gregadoo Road and Blackbutt Road. Whilst it is acknowledged that a drainage depression traverses the north-western portion of the subject land, development in this area can be designed to minimise impacts of stormwater drainage.
· Sewer:
To support the planning proposal, a Sewer Options Investigation Report was prepared and is provided as Attachment 4.
The capacity of the existing sewer system for the precinct identified in the planning proposal (shown in Figure 4) was investigated by the proponent to determine if there was sufficient capacity for potential future subdivision. The existing system was identified as being able to support a theoretical maximum of 224 additional tenements.
Figure 4: Sewer capacity investigation precinct
The report notes that the sewer main from Olearia Place is a 90mm main and would benefit from additional tenements to function properly. The line is identified to be underloaded as it receives less sewer than its designed minimum capacity.
The existing sewer system is a pressure sewer 50mm PE main line with sewer loadings both before and after subdivision within the minimum and maximum range of the existing pressure sewer system. The report identifies sufficient capacity within the existing system.
The report has identified alternatives for sewer servicing as identified below:
1. Connection to an existing gravity sewer discharge point
This option is the most financially economic for properties with no significant maintenance cost for pump stations and would fall under Councils maintenance program. However, where an existing gravity discharge outlet is not within a reasonable distance to the site, substantial installation costs may be incurred to build a connection line. A new connection line may not be possible due to grade and fall on the land as well as existing structures already built, which eliminates this option.
2. Combined gravity and pressurised sewer lines
This option involves the supply and installation of a new pump station and new gravity line. This option requires more capital investment by the developer at installation; however, maintenance costs will be borne by Council.
Whilst this option addresses capacity in the sewer system, the additional asset management costs and responsibilities are a burden on Council.
3. E-one system
This option is economic with four E-one connection points needed to be installed to carry sewer to the existing pressure PE line. This option has lower installation costs, however the ongoing maintenance costs for future landowners is higher than option 2.
The E-one system is consistent from an asset management as the surrounding subdivisions in Gregadoo Road also using the E-one systems.
Whilst the report recommends option 3, Council’s preference is to utilise gravity sewer options where possible and the final sewer system choice will need to be approved by Council.
· Water:
The subject land is connected to reticulated water supply provided by Riverina Water County Council. The proposal has indicated supply can be made available to additional lots resulting from the planning proposal.
· Traffic:
The subject land has direct access to Gregadoo Road to the north which has a speed limit of 60km/h.
· Electricity:
The subject land has access to electricity.
4. LEP Provisions
· Existing provisions
The site is currently zoned R5 Large Lot Residential with a minimum lot size of 2 hectares. The land is rural lifestyle in nature.
· Proposed provisions
The proposed changes to the LEP will enable the subdivision of the site to create approximately 20 additional lots.
5. Development Control Plan
Development of the subject site will be undertaken in accordance with the rural provisions of the Wagga Wagga Development Control Plan 2010 (DCP). The minimum lot size proposed will continue to trigger the native vegetation requirements under section 5.3 of the DCP to protect any native vegetation in the area.
Financial Implications
In accordance with Council’s 2017/18 Fees and Charges, a Minor LEP Amendment fee of $7,500.00 applied at the time of the application being submitted. The proponent has paid these fees.
It is anticipated that the LEP amendment will result in new development on the subject land in the future. This has financial implications for Wagga Wagga City Council.
Council’s contribution plans and development servicing plans enable Council to levy contributions and developer charges based on the likely increased demands that the new development will have on public facilities, sewer and/or stormwater.
The contribution and development servicing plans will apply to any future development of the land.

RP-2 RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS/BUSINESS WITH NOTICE
Author: Scott Gray
General Manager: Peter Thompson
|
Summary: |
This report is to provide responses to Questions/Business with Notice arising from previous Ordinary Council Meetings. |
|
That Council receive and note the report. |
Report
The following is in response to Questions/Business with Notice raised at previous Ordinary Council meetings.
|
Councillor T Koschel requested advice relating to a recent event in Wagga Wagga, where Clementine Ford spoke and if Council funded or sponsored this event? |
|
The only event that staff have found that references Clementine Ford as a speaker was a Breakfast Event held 19 June 2019 at the Rules Club and of which was hosted and convened by an external organisation with no funds or sponsorship from Council. |
|
Councillor D Hayes, requested feedback on if Council has received any complaints relating to the Riverina Recovery House in Gurwood Street, Wagga Wagga. |
|
Council has received no complaints, either formal or informal, in relation to the operation of the Riverina Recovery House in Gurwood Street, Wagga Wagga. |
|
Councillor D Hayes requested an update on status of the Gig State Project, and requested advice on if Council has a contact? |
|
Council has been assured that the NSW Government remains committed to ensuring the objectives of the Gig State Project are delivered, which includes Wagga Wagga. The Regional Digital Connectivity program’s aim is to ensure the most underserved rural and regional communities across NSW have better access to telecommunications and that NSW Government pro-actively work with Commonwealth and the private sector on a range of collaboration opportunities.
There have been significant market changes in the last 12 months, including NBN Co’s $4.5 billion investment for upgrades in 24 regional locations including Wagga Wagga that warrant further review. Council is working with the Regional Digital Connectivity Team and awaits further decisions and direction on the program anticipated before the end of the year.
|
|
Councillor T Koschel requested clarification on the requirements (including timing) for the updating of Pecuniary Interest Returns in relation to changes to an individual’s status as a developer or close associate of a developer. |
|
The Guide to Completing Returns of Interest released by the Office of Local Government NSW includes that “if, at any time, you become aware of any new interests that need to be disclosed, you must submit a new return within three months of becoming aware of the interests.”
The completion of Part F (‘Are you a property developer or close associate of a property developer?’) is based on the return date (30 June), but part of the question also works retrospectively, including that the definition incorporates having three or more relevant planning applications determined in the preceding seven years.
Information in relation to the requirements of the Code of Conduct and completion of pecuniary interest returns will be included in the training for the new Term of Council prior to the returns being completed for the first time. |
|
Councillor T Koschel requested clarification on whether the definition of ‘any relevant planning application’ in the definition of developer for the purpose of completing a Pecuniary Interest Return is limited to the LGA of that Council. |
|
The definition of ‘relevant planning application’ is contained in section 10.4 (Disclosure of political donations and gifts) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (NSW) does not limit the definition of ‘council’ to any particular local government area for the purpose of completing a pecuniary interest return.
|
|
Councillor T Koschel requested advice on Council’s mowing schedule and Council’s authority in the management of overgrown vacant blocks. |
|
The maintenance schedule is provided to Councillors weekly as part of the Councillor Bulletin. It is a four (4) week mowing schedule for the Wagga Wagga and the villages and roadside mowing is seasonally dependent (presently a four-six mowing schedule).
In relation to vacant blocks, the relevant Council officer(s) will contact the owner or property manager to address the outstanding issues at the property, or complaints received. This may also include consultation with NSW Rural Fire Service or other external agencies. Overgrown blocks during the declared bushfire period (commencing 1 November 2021 for this season) are enforced by Council rangers who initially send out a notice to the owner, with a period of time in which to have the block slashed. If this is not done, then the work is undertaken by Council and the costs subsequently re-covered. |

RP-3 Round Two Covid-19 Fast Track Events Sponsorship
Author: Madeleine Scully
Director: Janice Summerhayes
|
Summary: |
On 30 November 2020 Council endorsed Round One of a COVID-19 Fast Track Events Sponsorship program. The purpose of this program was to provide a flexible and responsive one-off event sponsorship funding process, designed to support event organisers with eligible events to respond and deliver their events during the pandemic.
Round 1 of this program was deemed a success with Council supporting ten COVID-19 safe events from 1 January - 30 June 2021.
Following the recent release of the NSW Roadmap to Recovery, staff are recommending that Council endorse a second round of this program in order to support the rebuilding of the city’s events calendar in 2022 as outlined in this report. |
|
That Council approve the implementation of a second round of the COVID-19 Fast Track Sponsorship Program to support events held between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022 as detailed in this report. |
Report
Context
The first round of the COVID-19 Fast Track Events Sponsorship program was opened to receive applications in December 2020 to assist event organisers deliver events in a COVID-19 safe way, in accordance with NSW Public Health Orders. A feature of this program was to provide greater flexibility for event organisers through establishing a rolling application process, where applications were received, assessed and put to Council at the next schedule Ordinary Council meeting. This was in place of the usual twice-yearly sponsorship application process that was available pre COVID-19 through the Major Events, Festivals and Films Sponsorship fund.
As a result of the first round of the COVID-19 Fast Track Events Sponsorship program ten events were sponsored between 1 January and 30 June 2021 to the value of $97,726 as follows:

Events and the NSW Roadmap to Recovery
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic many of the city's events have been cancelled, rescheduled or modified over the past 18 months as event organisers responded to the NSW Public Health Order restrictions and the uncertainties over public gatherings during this time.
Following the recent release of the NSW Government’s Roadmap to Recovery, in September 2021, there is now greater clarity over the path out of lockdown as the community vaccination rates reach 80% and the NSW Public Health orders are eased. These changes provide some surety for our city’s event organisers who are now planning their events for 2022.
Discussions with local event organisers have revealed their main concern in the delivery of their 2022 events relates to the financial risk of organising an event only to find out that they can no longer proceed due to a temporary lockdown or changed NSW Public Health Order. Event organisers incur fixed costs regardless of whether the event goes ahead such as marketing costs, agent fees, performer deposits, traffic control planning costs, insurance, and non-refundable hire deposits.
Event organisers have communicated to staff that they are concerned about the additional overheads associated with managing and delivering a COVID-19 safe event in 2022 for example fencing, marshalling and cleaning. Event organisers have contacted staff seeking advice and support and to inquire if there will be any COVID-19 funding support available to deliver events in 2022. Based on the success of the first-round funding outcomes of this program, a second round of the COVID-19 Fast Track Event Sponsorship program funding is recommended to assist event organisers to plan, confirm and deliver their events for the city’s annual calendar of events in 2022.
The introduction of a second round of Covid-19 Fast Track Event Sponsorship will support the delivery of COVID-19 safe events, boost visitation and support the community to come together safely at public events in 2022 in line with the phased timeline outlined in the NSW Roadmap to Recovery plan.
The proposed second round of the COVID-19 Fast Track Sponsorship Program will be open to events held between 1 January and 31 December 2022, with the program opening for applications from 9 November until 30 June 2022 or until funds are exhausted.
Proposed Second Round of COVID-19 Fast Track Process
To support event organisers now as they plan the delivery of their events in 2022 it is proposed a second round of the COVID-19 Fast Track Events Sponsorship program would:
· Open for event organisers to apply at any time from Tuesday 9 November 2021 until 30 June 2022 or until the funds are exhausted
· Sponsorship support will be for events held anytime between between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022
· Applications to be assessed on receipt on a rolling basis by the Major Events, Festivals and Films Sponsorship Panel
· Recommendations for sponsorship to be reported at the next scheduled Ordinary meeting of Council
· Funding would be subject to COVID-19 conditions and NSW Health Order as detailed in the sponsorship agreement
Financial Implications
