CONDOLENCES Mr Antonio Guiseppe Frisina Antonio Guiseppe Frisina, later known to his friends as “Joe”, was born on 12 December 1939 in a small town of Italy called, Oppido Mamertina. He was the second child of five. Pat was his eldest brother, followed by Frank, Cathy and Angelo. In 1951 his father migrated to Australia longing for a better life. Six years later in 1957, Joe came to join his father, together with his mother and three younger siblings, leaving behind his eldest brother who later joined them the following year. Joe made a life for himself in Australia as a shoe repairer and became well known in the Fairfield district, where he had a shoe shop in Cabramatta for many years. In September 1979, he married his beloved Carmella Maria Paiano. They made a happy home in Moorebank commencing their life together. In October 1980 they had their first child, Daniella Frisina and a second child, Marco Frisina in December 1982. After closing his shop in Cabramatta a few years later Joe continued working at Town Hall station, becoming a well known face and making many friends along the way. In November 2007 his first grandchild, Dominic Frisina was born, who became Joe's bundle of joy. Joe loved his gardening and was very proud of his home made wine and salami. In June 2008 he said goodbye to his beloved wife after she was diagnosed with cancer. Joe retired from work the following year and enjoyed watching Dominic grow. In 2009 Joe was consulting a doctor for some medical issues. Then three weeks ago he was rushed to the hospital only to discover the severity of his condition. His last weeks were spent with family and friends around him. He accepted his destiny and enjoyed his last moments with great whit and spirit reflecting on the special moments he had throughout his life. He died of cancer on Monday 18 July 2011 at 9:30am with his last words being the name of deceased wife. Motion: Moved: Clr Lucas Seconded: Clr Napoletano That Council sends a condolence to the family of Mr Antonio Guiseppe Frisina. On being put to the meeting the motion was declared CARRIED.

DEPUTY MAYORAL REPORT Deputy Mayoral Minute Subject: Support for the Victims of the drought in the Horn of Africa Report: Following three consecutive seasons of failed or poor rainfall, the Horn of Africa is now facing one of its worst emergencies in its history. Reports indicate a massive 10 million people have been affected by this drought with more on the rise. The region is now experiencing a need of emergency humanitarian assistance with Somalia alone having over 2.5 million people affected, and in some parts of the south, one in three children are malnourished, as aid agencies struggle to gain access. Ethiopia’s Somali region is the worst affected, with a cumulative effect of drought, food shortages, soaring food prices, and conflict. Two consecutive seasons of significantly below-average rainfall have resulted in poor harvest. Food prices of staple items in some parts of southern Somalia are 200 percent higher than during the same period last year. The number of people has increased dramatically with over 3.2m people in desperate need of emergency aid. Kenya has 3.5 million people who are likely to be affected this drought, both with the pastoralist communities and through the increasing amounts of Somalian refugees trying to access the Daadab refugee camp. On behalf of the residents of the City of Liverpool and Council, I offer my heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of those who have lost loved ones in this disaster, the magnitude of which we will hopefully never experience again. Humanity and decency dictates we should do what we can to help those whose lives have been turned upside down through this natural disaster. I recommend that an amount of $10,000 be donated to help those devastated by drought in the Horn of Africa. Recommendation: That:

1. Council donates $10,000 from the Community Donations budget towards providing food, water, medicines and other urgently needed supplies for the victims of the drought in the Horn of Africa; and

2. The recipient of the City’s donation be an appropriate charitable organisation or

organisations determined by the General Manager.

TRADING HOURS OF AN EXISTING MCDONALDS RESTAURANT INCLUDING DRIVE THRU FACILITY FROM 6:00AM TO 12 MIDNIGHT 7 DAYS A WEEK TO 5:00AM TO 12 MIDNIGHT 7 DAYS A WEEK

RECOMMENDATION That Council:

1. Refuses the Section 96 application to modify Development Consent DA 314/1998 by extending the trading hours of the existing McDonalds restaurant and drive through facility at Lot 12 DP 10009280 Camden Valley Way Prestons from 6:00am - 12 midnight daily, to 5:00am - 12 midnight, daily subject to the following reasons for refusal:

(a) The proposal is inconsistent with the aims of the LEP in that it will not maintain suitable amenity to existing residents. (b) The proposal will impact on the amenity of neighbouring property and is therefore inconsistent with the LEP objective to ensure that a high level of residential amenity is achieved and maintained. (c) The proposal is inconsistent with the objectives of Liverpool Development Control Plan 2008 Part 6 - Development in Business Areas in that the application has failed to demonstrate that amenity of residential zoned land that adjoins the site will be protected. (d) The proposal is contrary to site planning objectives contained within Liverpool Development Control Plan 2008 Part 6 - Development in Business Areas in that the proposed additional hour of operation would not be compatible with adjoining residential areas. (e) The submissions received from the public in relation to this matter are considered to be reasonable and are substantiated. As such the additional hour of early morning operation of the development will have additional impacts on the local environment through increased noise, litter, air pollution and light spill nuisance. (f) The proposed development which is located in a predominantly low density residential area is not in the public interest which is considered to be the protection of residential neighbourhoods.

2. Notifies persons who made a submission with regard to the proposal of the outcome of the application.

The current centre is also reputed to be the oldest continuously run martial arts centre in New South Wales. Council is not required to fund any part of the construction of the new building. It would be the responsibility of the lessee to fund the new building and maintain it throughout the term of the lease. The cost of the project is estimated to be approximately $500,000. An annual building maintenance schedule would be required to be lodged with Council to ensure that the building is being maintained appropriately. Upon expiry of the lease term, ownership of the building would revert to Council. At Council meeting held on 28 July 2008, Council resolved to grant a lease of part of Lot 7001 in DP 1028872 located at 1650 Elizabeth Drive, Kemps Creek, known as Bill Anderson Reserve, to the International Kempo Martial Arts Academy for the purpose of constructing a purpose built martial arts centre for a term not exceeding 30 years at a nominal rental, provided that the facility is available for community usage subject to the premises not being required by the lessee. Enquiries for the use of the hall would be made directly to the lessee. Council then sought the permission of the Department of Lands, who owns the site, for approval of the lease. They agreed initially to the proposed lease, however, when it came time to execute the lease, they declined to approve it and requested more information from to the International Kempo Martial Arts Academy. To date, the

International Kempo Martial Arts Academy has not provided this information; therefore the new 30 year lease has been put on hold. In the mean time, Mr Zadro approached Council again and requested a three year lease to remain in the existing building. It was agreed that due to the International Kempo Martial Arts Academy being a long term provider of community programs through this venue, that a short term interim lease was prepared. The request for approval for the short term lease is currently with the Department of Lands for approval. Both proposed leases were advertised in the local newspaper and surrounding residents were notified and requested to provide submissions. Four submissions were received for the proposed three year lease period.

QWNO 02 ITEM NO: QWNO 02 FILE NO: 2011/2936 SUBJECT: QUESTIONS WITH NOTICE - CLR LUCAS RECOMMENDATION

1. Is Council eligible to apply for funding from the Federal Infrastructure

programme or Stimulus Package?

There are various funding programs available at various times, which Council may make application for. Council has received funding in the last three years under the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program. A further round of this program has not yet been announced. The Regional Development Australia Fund is the principal program for local government infrastructure. Round 2 is anticipated to be announced in late 2011 although no guarantee can be given, and Council would be eligible to apply subject to any restrictions or criteria. Applications for this program must be made through the regional bodies. In Liverpool’s situation, this is the Regional Development Australia Sydney Committee (RDAS). Projects need to be consistent with the RDAS Sydney Regional Plan. Council has previously identified a range of key projects for Liverpool, and a meeting will be arranged with RDAS to discuss how these projects may fit into the RDA program.

2. What is the required criteria for applying for the funding?

Criteria will vary from program to program. As indicated in the response to Question 1, a meeting will be held to discuss the potential for funding under the RDA program and any eligibility criteria. Funding for the previous round required co-contribution from applicants, and projects were required to be between $0.5M and $25M.

3. If so what projects can be put up for funding and what notice is required to

the Federal Government for the funding?

As indicated in Questions 1 and 2 there are no current funding rounds open on either the RLCIP and RDA programs. Council officers do maintain a watching brief on these and other grant programs and make applications where appropriate.

4. Can a report be presented to the Council on ways to maintain the verges

within the CBD with the cost being fully borne by the owners?

Minutes of the Ordinary Council Meeting held on Monday 29 August 2011 and confirmed on 28 September 2011

……………………………………. Chairperson

These matters will be discussed at a Councillor briefing in October.

5. Can a report be presented to the Council on the implementation of a scheme where people who attend the Council’s Administration and Library, in the CBD, can be issued with a pass that will allow the people to exit the Warren Serviceway after using the car park for less than 30 minutes?

6. When will the legal matter of the DA for Bent Street, Chipping Norton be

finalised? 7. When will the legal matters concerning the Holsworthy Swimming Pool and

the tennis courts at Bigge Park be presented to the Council’s briefing session for an update?

A report will be presented to Council at its October meeting.

8. To meet the request for a defined pedestrian walkway at the Moorebank soccer field what would be the estimated cost to supply and install concrete wheel chocks at the location requested. Also are there S94 funds from park embellishment to fund the works?

The estimate to supply and install concrete wheel stops at Moorebank Soccer field to define a pedestrian walkway is approximately $7800, however, an alternative treatment would be to install bollards as they are able to be fixed in place forming a permanent defined pathway, where as concrete wheel blocks need to be fixed down onto a pavement, which does not exist at this location. Section 94 funds are not available to carry out this work which is considered a maintenance issue.

9. How often is the bus shelter on George st in front of the Catholic school

cleaned?

The bus shelter is cleaned on a fortnightly program. 10. What follow up is there on the customer requests i.e.:

Initially when the request is lodged the customer is given a Request Number as reference. The request summarises the time and date the it was lodged, the name and contact details of the customer, the issue being reported /raised, the name of the staff member lodging the request and the name of the staff member responsible to follow through with any action and the provision of feedback to the customer.

11. Is the lodger of the request advised of the status of the request?

The customer is provided with the relevant information depending on the issue raised. If they contact Council to check the progress they are provided with full details. The offer is made to put the customer through to the staff member dealing with the issue, if the staff member is not available a message is forwarded to them to contact the customer as soon as possible.

12. Is the lodged request filed in a manner that will give the Council insight as

to how all the requests were handled? Notes are entered against each request indicating the action and response taken by the responsible staff member, there is always a progress trail. The pathway system allows an audit trail to be viewed and printed to outline exactly who has dealt with the request.

13. Are all requests completed to the satisfaction of the lodger and the

Council?

Customer Services Staff survey customers regarding completed requests. The survey is done in two parts. One part is based on the staff member who had initial contact with the customer and lodged the request. The second part deals with the outcome of the issue being reported. Satisfaction at the first point of call is quite high. Some minimal issues have been raised regarding the conditions surrounding the completion of the request. Some customer expectations are quite high and may not be physically possible to be delivered within the timeframe they expect.

14. Approximately how many requests are lodged with the Council each year and is there a set pattern of requests?

Within the 2010/2011 financial year there were approximately 57,639 requests lodged. This equates to 4803 requests lodged per month or 160 per day. While there is no set pattern, the top 10 requests lodged within the 2010/2011 financial year were:
