8 SOCIAL INCLUSION CAMPAIGN LAUNCH

Councillors are invited to the launch of our Social Inclusion Campaign to celebrate and support Council’s commitment to promote and build social inclusion in our community. In 2014, the City of Ryde combined celebrations for International Day of People with Disability and Social Inclusion Week. Our messages on social inclusion, disability and diversity were promoted and strengthened throughout the City through three Community Open Days and the development of a Social Inclusion film (http://www.ryde.nsw.gov.au/Community/Social-Inclusion). Council also conducted Community Surveys at the Open Days and held two internal stakeholder consultations to identify current activities to provide inclusive services and areas for improvement. In order to build on the momentum generated through the event in 2014, City of Ryde along with our NGO partners is hosting a series of activities to celebrate Social Inclusion Week 2015. The Social Inclusion Week themes for 2015 are Collaborate, Connect and Celebrate! and the celebrations will be held from 21-29 November 2015.

City of Ryde is showing its commitment to developing inclusive communities by launching a Social Inclusion Campaign on 25 November 2015. The launch is to be opened by the Mayor – Councillor Jerome Laxale, and Laura O’Reilly, CEO Fighting Chance (http://fightingchance.org.au/) is a guest speaker.

10 EXTENDED NOTIFICATION PERIOD FOR DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS

This report has been prepared to advise Councillors of the extended notification period for development applications during Christmas/New Year holiday period 2015/16. Council’s Development Control Plan (DCP) “Part 2.1-Notification of Development Application”

outlines the public exhibition and notification procedures for development applications, applications to modify development consent and applications to review Council’s determinations. This Part of the DCP also outlines the extended notification period of these applications during December and January compensating for the Christmas and New Year holiday period as follows:

“During December and January Council will modify the notification periods to take account the public holidays in the following manner:

Any development application received and notified in the period from first week of December to 24 December and during first and second weeks of January will be subject to a double notification period, e.g.., notification requiring 14 days will be extended to 28 days and notifications requiring 21 days will be extended to 42 days;

Any development application received in December that would be of significant public interest will not be notified until the first week of January in the following year;

Any development application received in December that would require Newspaper notification will not be notified until the first available publication date in January the following year.”

This year the extended notification for advertised and major development applications will commence on 20 November 2015. This means the last advertisement of 2015 will be published on 25 November and the applications received in December that require newspaper notification will then be advertised/notified from 20 January 2016. This will allow extended time for the community to be notified of significant development after the holiday period. All other DA’s received from the first week of December until the second week of January that require notification of neighbours only will be at least double time – 28 days excluding public holidays and the period when CoR is closed from lunchtime on 24 December until business resumes on 4 January 2015. Council will be placing a note in the local News Papers and on Council’s website of the above for community information.
