This involvement of young people from Casey’s East Timorese friendship city was undertaken to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of this youth arts competition in Casey. This brought a global element to the event and further increased awareness of the friendship city relationship between Ermera and Casey, and the work of Friends of Ermera as a Casey-based volunteer community organisation.

Wall of Global Friendships Two community groups representing cultural groups in Casey, the Afghan Australian Philanthropic Association and the Serbian Community Association of Australia, completed an Expression of Interest in the Wall of Global Friendships and have been invited to submit a plaque design for consideration.

Council officers continue to liaise with members of these groups to facilitate this process.

2011 Sister Cities Australia Conference Within its annual budget allocation, Casey’s Global Friendships provides support for two community members to attend the Sister Cities Australia National Conference, which is to be held this year in Toowoomba, Queensland from 14-17 August 2011. Expressions of interest were sought from the community and were received from two Casey’s Global Friendships representatives being Lynh Lam and Kay Vrieze. These nominations were considered by Casey’s Global Friendships Advisory Committee members and endorsed, noting that an additional financial contribution from these individuals is required to cover all related costs. Casey’s Global Friendships regard attendance at this Conference as an important professional development and networking opportunity, providing community members with valuable information and resources regarding a diverse range of sister city programs from around Australia.

Purpose of Report: To update the 2011 MRA Cranbourne GP Run Advisory Committee Operational Guidelines.

Background The annual MRA Cranbourne GP Run has been staged in Cranbourne by the City of Casey, in conjunction with event partners, for the past 12 years. The event provides many highlights for participants including children’s activities, food vendors and car, bike and community displays from 8am to 11am. The MRA Cranbourne GP Run is one of the largest annual motorcycle events in Victoria, as people assemble to watch the wave-off of thousands of motorcycle riders travelling en masse to the Motorcycle Grand Prix at Phillip Island. Each year, a celebrity waves off the thousands of motorcycles from a cherry picker above High Street. The MRA Cranbourne GP Run Advisory Committee provides input and active assistance in the organisation of the MRA Cranbourne GP Run. A new MRA Cranbourne GP Run Advisory Committee is established each year in accordance with the Operational Guidelines. Event partners are responsible for nominating suitable persons to act as their representatives in accordance with the Guidelines. The MRA Cranbourne GP Run Advisory Committee meetings are held monthly over a period of approximately five months immediately prior to the event.

Changes to the 2011 Operational Guidelines At the Special Council Meeting on 29 November 2010, Council appointed both Councillor Ablett and Councillor Smith as the Councillor delegates on the MRA Cranbourne GP Run Advisory Committee. Previously in the Operational Guidelines, only one Councillor was listed in the membership of the Advisory Committee. An adjustment has been made to the 2011 MRA Cranbourne GP Run Advisory Committee Operational Guidelines to reflect Council’s decision (Attachment A).

Conclusion The 2010 MRA Cranbourne GP Run Advisory Committee continues to reflect Council’s commitment to a partnership between Council and the community and looks forward to further assisting Council to identify key issues in relation to the ongoing success of the event.

Recommendation That the 2011 MRA Cranbourne GP Run Advisory Committee Operational Guidelines, as attached, be adopted.

2. That Council write to the Minister for Planning requesting a Panel be appointed to consider submissions, and refer submissions to the Panel, for Planning Scheme Amendment C113, under Section 23(1)(b) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987.

3. That the timing for the request for a Panel concur with that of the Panel for the Cranbourne North Stage 2 PSP or April 2011, or whichever occurs first.

4. Consider the submissions and endorse the response to submissions discussed in the body of this report and at Attachment 1 as the basis for Council’s submission to the Panel.

5. That a copy of this report be provided to all submitters and landowners within the Service Business Precinct for their information.

Progress to date on Amendment C113 to the Casey Planning Scheme Since the last Council meeting in December 2010, Council officers have been working to revise the amendment documentation and the DP in accordance with the Council’s resolution of 7 December 2010. Liaison with the submitters including State Government agencies, landowners and developers is currently underway. Summary of late submission to Amendment C113 and Council officers’ response On 16 March 2011, a late submission from Beveridge Williams (BW), representing landowners at 1455 & 1475 Thompsons Road, was received. It is noted that during the exhibition period in 2010, BW lodged a submission to support the rezoning to IN3Z as proposed. In this late submission, BW has modified its position and requests Council to consider rezoning their land to a favoured Residential 1 Zone (R1Z) or secondary to this a Business 3 Zone (B3Z) if the preferred residential use is not supported by Council.

Planning for Casey



Strategic Development Item 1 Amendment C113 Cranbourne North Service Business Precinct Cont. The submission and officers’ response and recommendations are outlined below:

Submission Officers’ Response and Recommendations

Several properties on the southern side of Thompsons Road contain uses with adverse amenity potentials including buffers, which prevent sensitive uses from occurring in Amendment C113. Should these uses cease, buffers would no longer be required and land within Amendment C113 could be rezoned to R1Z.

This submission is not supported.

The submission undermines employment land provision. The Casey Planning Scheme and the Casey’s C21 Strategy have recognised the importance of industrial land to provide local employment and services for local residents as well as help to sustain other local business.

Furthermore, Council’s recent submission to the Growth Area Framework Plan supports an employment corridor along Thompsons Road.

The proposed IN3Z is inappropriate given:

There is limited demand for IN3Z within metropolitan Melbourne due to the very restrictive nature of the planning provisions.

The industrial uses proposed are immediately adjacent to residential land to the west. Such proximity between the industrial and sensitive uses is considered inappropriate.


Whilst Council agrees that residential uses in proximity to industrial uses need to be carefully considered, the purposes of the IN3Z are considered to achieve this outcome.

In comparison with the IN3Z, the B3Z places far less emphasis on interface issues and ensuring that industrial / commercial uses do not affect the safety and amenity of adjacent, more sensitive land uses.

Furthermore, the exhibited DP provides appropriate and sufficient design guidelines in response to potential interface issues.

The proposed light industrial uses do not utilise the full benefits of the Hill Top Park by providing non-residential uses within proximity of this recreational reserve.


Uses which can be permitted in the IN3Z also generate a need for recreation.

Progress to date on Amendment C125 to the Casey Planning Scheme The GAA commenced the preparation of the Cranbourne North Stage 2 Precinct Structure Plan in 2008 in collaboration with Council officers. In January 2011, the first draft of the PSP and DCP was circulated to Council for comment. Officers have provided feedback to the GAA and it is anticipated that a second draft of the PSP and DCP will be circulated to all relevant government agencies for comment in the coming weeks. A Panel if required will be expected to be held in June or July 2011.

Planning for Casey



Strategic Development Item 1 Amendment C113 Cranbourne North Service Business Precinct Cont. Conclusion Several matters raised in the late submission are not supported by Council officers. As per Council’s resolution on the submissions previously received, Council officers recommend this late submission be referred to a Panel together with others. Taking into consideration the progress of Amendment C125, a Panel is anticipated to be requested and held to deal with Amendment C113 and Amendment C125 simultaneously in June or July 2011. Recommendation 1. That the late submission be noted. 2. That Council not support the late submission and refer it, together with other

submissions previously received, to a Panel anticipated to be held around mid 2011.

Planning & Development Services 3 May 2011 Strategic Development Item 2 Berwick Waterways Precinct Structure Plan Springfield 71-67-24-1 Liam Hodgetts Council Plan Reference: 3.1

Purpose of Report: To update Council with the progress of the Berwick Waterways Precinct Structure Plan and inform Council of the upcoming landowner information session.

Background The Growth Areas Authority (GAA) has commenced land use planning for the Berwick Waterways Precinct Structure Plan (PSP). The PSP area is bounded by the levee banks of Hallam Valley Contour Drain and Berwick Town Drain to the west, Greaves Road to the south and the established residential development to the east and north (see Attachment 1 for locality map). The area is highly fragmented and the lot sizes range from two to ten hectares. Since the late 1990s land use planning for Berwick Waterways has progressed, firstly with the adoption of the Cell T Development Plan in 1999 and more recently with the Berwick Waterways Development Plan, adopted by Council on 4 March 2008. Despite this strategic planning direction, Berwick Waterways has yet to be developed. The reasons for this include: the topographical nature of the land being low lying and flood prone; the highly fragmented land parcels making coordination and feasibility of development

difficult; and significant infrastructure and engineering requirements rendering development costs

prohibitive. Council previously considered the Berwick Waterways PSP at its meeting on 18 May 2010, when it was advised that: GAA has begun land use planning at Berwick Waterways; public exhibition of the PSP was expected around November 2010 and adoption by mid

2011; and the commitment and involvement of Melbourne Water is critical in terms of facilitating,

funding, staging and delivering the drainage infrastructure. Melbourne Water in April 2008 provided in-principle agreement conditional upon: - the implementation of a drainage scheme or similar within the PSP area; and - GAA and Council providing a high degree of certainty that Berwick Waterways

would be developed for residential purposes.

Major Flood Event in February 2011 On 4 and 5 February 2011, the PSP area was heavily flooded. Council officers inspected the PSP area after the event and observed that the majority of the PSP area was under water including approximately seven dwellings being inundated. It is understood that approximately 170mm of rain fell within 24 hours and that parts of Berwick Waterways experienced flood levels of up to one metre above the official 1 in 100 year flood level. This flood event has intensified the drainage issues and concerns associated with the land.

Planning for Casey


Planning & Development Services 3 May 2011 Strategic Development Item 2 Berwick Waterways Precinct Structure Plan Cont.

Progress to Date on PSP Since 2008 the GAA have progressed the Berwick Waterways PSP in collaboration with Council officers. However, a series of issues similar to those outlined above remain unresolved which have delayed the progress of the PSP. A summary of key issues is outlined below: 1. Drainage

An investigation in response to the recent flooding event is required and a solution to the drainage issues associated with the PSP is paramount.

Since the recent flood event, Council officers have worked collaboratively with Melbourne Water, GAA and the GAA’s hydrology consultant Stormy Water Solutions, and all parties are in agreement that:

additional investigations are required to identify what caused the high flood level

within Berwick Waterways during this event; and any deficiency of the current drainage system must be addressed prior to

proceeding with the PSP.

A draft Berwick Waterways Drainage System Requirements report (DSR report) has been completed by Stormy Water Solutions. It confirms the need to complete additional investigations given the serious extent of the recent flood event. It also presents that the strategies outlined in the DSR report need to be updated according to any investigation findings.

2. Economic feasibility of the proposal

In July 2008, Council commissioned a Development Feasibility report, which calculated the total cost of the development including items such as construction works, development charges and fees, and professional consultancy fees. The figures are now out of date due to various factors including an increase in infrastructure costs and changes to urban structure and density. The recent DSR report presents a very preliminary cost estimate of drainage and fill costs, including: estimated “Drainage System Construction Costs” (pits, culverts, and wetland and

flood storage excavation) have increased from $8M in 2009 to $12M in 2011; estimated “Development Fill Costs” have increased from $5M in 2009 to $9M in

2011; and estimated “Reserve Acquisition Costs” have increased from $6M in 2009 to $18M

in 2011. These cost estimates may increase further pending the drainage investigations, following the flood event outlined above.

Planning for Casey



Without the said investigation being completed, drainage and fill costs cannot be finalised. Hence economic feasibility of the PSP remains uncertain. As highlighted in Council meeting of 18 May 2010, the commitment and involvement of Melbourne Water is of the paramount importance to the PSP. Melbourne Water has cooperatively worked with Council and the GAA to investigate the insufficiency of the current drainage system. However, it has yet to support the PSP because economic feasibility of the proposal has yet to be demonstrated.

3. Consensus between Melbourne Water and Council on ownership and maintenance

responsibilities over wetlands within the PSP area including passive public open space is yet to be reached.

4. Consensus between the GAA and Council on inclusion of an active public open space

within the PSP area is yet to be reached.

Council officers support the inclusion of active open space within the PSP area firstly to ease the current shortfall within Narre Warren South / Berwick South and secondly to provide for the projected 3300 population within the PSP area. This shortage is identified in the Casey’s Leisure Facilities Development Plan.

5. A number of background technical reports have yet to be completed or have not been

forwarded to Council officers for comment. These include ecology and traffic reports and an updated development feasibility study. Hence Council is not aware of full implications, opportunities and constraints over the PSP area.

Other matters to note include: To deal with highly fragmented land ownership and ensure the feasibility of

development as required by Melbourne Water, the GAA has engaged a development facilitator to assist in the preparation of a Land Development Strategy.

This approach is supported by Council as it is a way to facilitate development and potentially addresses the issues relating to the fragmented land ownership within the PSP area.

A date for formal public exhibition of the PSP has not been set given the number of

unresolved issues outlined above.

Upcoming Landowner Information Session The GAA envisages a landowner information session occurring around late May 2011. The purpose of this session is to provide generic information to individual landowners on individual basis. Public engagement is considered a necessary step in the process, however, officers are concerned that this may be somewhat premature given the level of uncertainty regarding the unaddressed issues outlined above.

Planning for Casey


Planning & Development Services 3 May 2011 Strategic Development Item 2 Berwick Waterways Precinct Structure Plan Cont. Officers have encouraged the GAA to hold the landowner consultation session at a later date to allow resolution of some of the aforementioned issues. However GAA has indicated it prefers to proceed with the landowner consultation session and has requested that Council officers attend.

Conclusion Since the commencement of the PSP, the GAA have progressed a substantial amount of work to achieve development outcomes in the area with support from Council officers. It is considered important to provide certainty to the landowners regarding: resolution of drainage problems experienced in the area; the development potential of their land; development feasibility; and a conceptual development layout which has in-principle support from Council, GAA and

Melbourne Water. Landowners’ involvement in the planning process is critical, but it is considered to some extent premature to conduct a landowner information session given lack of resolution on various key issues. In case that the information session goes ahead as scheduled, it is considered important that Council officers are in attendance. It is noted that unless resolution on a number of matters is progressed there will be little to advise landowners accordingly.

Recommendation 1. That the progress of the Berwick Waterways Precinct Structure Plan be noted. 2. That Council write to the Growth Areas Authority advising them that, given the

flooding which occurred in February, consultation with stakeholders is premature until such time as key issues around drainage are resolved.
