5.1 SUBJECT: COMMUNITY HOUSING STOCK ACQUISITIONREQUIREMENTS FOR CAPITAL PROGRAMS IN2001/2002 FINANCIAL YEAR.

REFERENCE NO: 1.115.006OFFICER: CDOBUDGET IMPLICATIONS: Within existing budget allocations.

REPORTThe above capital program allocation from the South Australian Community HousingAuthority (SACHA) is in addition to our existing Joint Venture housing projects. Criteria forthe eligibility of tenants are the same for both programs. Essentially, this is for new build orspot purchase of properties to the value of $106K each.

SACHA allocate an amount of funds each year to this program as they do with JointVenture, then invites Community Housing Organisations (CHO’s) to bid for that pool ofallocations.

Please note that currently the Alexandrina Council Housing Association (ACHA) has on filea total of 58 people within the district needing low cost rental housing.

The ACHA has been allocated a bid for eight properties, which we have accepted. Thereare no guarantees we will get any, notification will be sometime in June or July 2001. Ifsuccessful, we will have the rest of the 2001/2002 financial year to purchase properties thatcould eventually be managed by Whalers Housing Cooperative Inc.

A sub committee of the ACHA met recently to discuss and document its future direction.This is not only a necessary step for the Association’s development but also a requirementfrom SACHA.

A draft copy of the plan will be available to Council for comment in the near future.

5.1 COMMUNITY HOUSING STOCK ACQUISITION REQUIREMENTS FOR CAPITALPROGRAMS IN 2001/2002 FINANCIAL YEAR(continued)

Address required for the Strathalbyn Project

I have discussed the need of an address for this site with Rudy Vandenbroek from ourRates Department and it is his recommendation that the project be given a name. This isprimarily because it is not actually part of Fairfield Drive. The numbers start next to the siteat No 1 and run in the opposite direction. To include it as part of Fairfield Drive would meaneither allocating a minus 1 number to each unit or re-numbering the whole of the street.

The ACHA discussed the matter and considers the names “Valerie Court or Valerie Close”as appropriate for the precinct. This would result in an address reading –Unit 1, Valerie Court or Close, Fairfield Drive Strathalbyn. The name of Fairfield Drive isnecessary to denote an access point.

The Strathalbyn project is due for completion on May 11th 2001. A function will be heldearly June on site for the official handing over of keys. Appropriate persons will be invitedfor example Councillors, local MP’s and SACHA representatives. I will undertakenecessary consultation with Executive Assistant Lee Bailey when finalising the invitationlist.

Moved Cr Connor, seconded Cr Woolford, this report be received and the name ofValerie Court is endorsed by Council as the chosen name for this new housingprecinct.

OFFICER: K WUNDERSITZ

SUMMARY

The applicant proposes to build a two storey detached dwelling on a vacant allotment.The application was lodged on the 7th September 1999, with Provisional DevelopmentPlan Consent being issued under delegation on the 22nd September 1999. Since thattime a series of amended plans have been received with a decision being issued onthe 23rd January 2001 and most recently the 21st February 2001. The amended planscontained a retaining wall and the placement of a double garage under the house.

The applicant requested Council to cancel the decision dated 21/2/01, so that he couldrevert to the decision dated 23/1/01. Mr Chrisp was advised that Council wishes tomaintain the setback and conditions outlined in the most recent decision.

The adjoining neighbours have expressed concern about the alignment of the houseand the height and location of the retaining wall.

An appeal was lodged against Council’s decision dated 21/2/01 with the EnvironmentResource and Development Court on the 11th April 2001. The grounds of appeal arebased on the following: The decision notification on the 21/2/01 does not supersede the decision dated

23/1/01, The condition requiring the dwelling to be setback a minimum of 8 metres from the

Ocean Parade property boundary is not reasonable, The condition requiring the amendment of the retaining wall to suit the required set

back of the dwelling is unreasonable, That conditions 3, 4 and 5 are unreasonable. Condition 3 requires a privacy screen

to be constructed on the rear decking in accordance with the submitted plans.Condition 4 requires that the building shall be no higher than eight metres abovenatural ground level. Condition 5 requires that the vegetation screen as indicatedon the plan be established and maintained within three months of the date ofdevelopment approval.

The date for the compulsory conference has been set for the 9th May 2001.

23.3 REFERENCE NO: A15971SUBJECT: AIR CONDITIONING OF GOOLWA COUNCILOFFICER: KJYOFFICERS CONSULTED: ALSO (CW)BUDGET IMPLICATIONS: $15,500 2001/02

Request by Council to report back with costings to air condition the Goolwa CouncilChambers/Library Work Room

REPORT

Council at its meeting of the 6th February 2001 and 18th April 2001 requested the cost ofinstalling air conditioning units in the Council Chambers.

A quotation has since been received which details a cost of $8,000 for the Chamber and$7,500 for the Library Workroom. Unfortunately the cost is a little more than expected dueto the high ceilings and the need to screen the vents for aesthetic purposes.

Council has the option of including one or both during its budget discussions for 2001/02 oralternatively deferring such a decision until the Goolwa precinct committee have presentedplans to Council on the redevelopment of the Library/Civic Centre complex.

The points worthy of consideration are:

1. Council Chamber

[a] the limited use of the rooms is currently restricted to 12 meetings + peryear.

[b] on hot/cold days the Training Room can easily be used as a suitablealternative venue.

2. Library Workroom

[a] up to four people work in this room every day that the library is open.[b] the Occupational Health & Safety requirements dictate that such a

workplace must have mechanical or natural ventilation – this has neither.[c] the library is due for major upgrade within 12 – 24 months.

Moved Cr Jarrett, seconded Cr Griffin

[a] that air conditioning not be fitted in the chambers this coming financial yearpending redevelopment plans for the precinct.

[b] that an allocation of $7,500 be considered in the 2001/02 budget for libraryworkroom with installation deferred until plans for the precinct have beensubmitted.
