Notice of Recession

1.1 Notice of Rescission – Enclosed Dog Exercise Area at Bob Campbell Oval on C2 Land Recommendation   

 

Notices of Motion

1.2 Notice of Rescission – Dogs on Sportsfields Recommendation  

Councillors Little, Bennsion, Taylor and Rosenfeldt have lodged a motion to rescind last month’s council decision to remove the fence and dog enclosure from Bob Campbell Oval.  See item 2.2 for the above councillors plan in relation to BCO if the recession is successful.

Mayor Merri Southwood released a newsletter setting our her summary of the December council meeting and made the following comments about Item 1.1 and 2.1

“Items1.1 and 2.1 – Rescission of Resolution to remove fence and new motion for reinstatement of fence and dog enclosure

Cllrs Little, Bennison, Taylor and Roenfeldt have lodged a motion to rescind last month’s Council decision to remove the fence at BCO and return the land to shared recreation space. They have moved a complex motion that, in essence, reinstates the fence to create a dog enclosure for 12 months, followed by a consultation process about the continued use of the dog enclosure.

The motion addresses psycho-social risk to staff caused by the “continuous changes” to the park design. I am perplexed by this assertion, as the only changes initiated by Councillors were the cancellation of the synthetic plans on 4 January 2022 (approved 8 votes to 1) and the adoption of a new Master Plan on 23 February 2023 (approved 8 votes to 1).

It is noted that there have, indeed, been several versions of the drawings for the project but these changes have not been initiated by Councillors.

On 22 February 2024, Councillors voted 5-4 to give the General Manager delegation to negotiate with Landscape Solutions Pty Ltd and to make design changes. This decision was based on advice from Council staff in a report that is included in the business papers. It was not initiated by Councillors.”

Councillor David Roenfeld has produced a video setting out his comments on the December meeting.  You can view the video here.

2.1 Notice of Motion – Retention of the Enclosed Dog Exercise Area at Bob Campbell Oval Recommendation

Councillors Little, Bennsion, Taylor and Rosenfeldt have suggested the following resolution:

RECOMMENDATION   That:- 1.   Council resolves to retain the northern end fence at Bob Campbell Oval for a 12-month trial period from when the community has access to the park. This will allow the community to utilise the enclosed dog exercise area while the Oval is being completed and after it becomes operational. Retaining the fence will protect the newly established grass and infrastructure, preventing potential damage caused by off-leash dogs to bushland and creek, while providing a safe space for dog owners. 2.   Following the 12-month trial period, Council undertake a comprehensive community consultation process to gather feedback on the use of the enclosed dog exercise area. This consultation will assess the community’s preferences regarding the permanent retention or removal of the fence, ensuring decisions are informed by public input and practical experience. 3.   Once the enclosed dog exercise area is ready for public use, Council will notify the community of its availability and outline the conditions of use, including: ·    Dogs must be on-leash when entering or exiting the enclosure. ·    Clear signage outlining rules and responsibilities for dog owners. ·    Any additional requirements deemed appropriate by the General Manager. 4.   Council reaffirms its commitment to responsible dog management as resolved on 22 February 2024, reinforcing the responsibilities of dog owners to: a)   Obey all signage on or adjacent to sporting fields. b)   Comply with all directions from Council officers regarding dog management. c)   Ensure dogs do not cause damage to the surface of playing fields. d)   Leave sporting fields in a clean and safe state after use. 5.   Council delegates authority to the General Manager to manage the site in the interest of protecting the grass sports field. This includes enforcing measures related to breaches of Council’s dog management policy pursuant to the Companion Animals Act 1998 and issuing infringement notices where necessary to ensure compliance. 6.   Council acknowledges the importance of adhering to Work Health and Safety (WHS) requirements and recognises the potential psychosocial risks associated with frequent changes to major project directions. Continuous changes can undermine staff confidence, create anxiety, and impact morale, leading to inefficiencies and increased risk. Council commits to stable project governance to safeguard staff well-being, comply with WHS obligations, and protect ratepayers’ investments. 7.   Council seek advice on whether this C2 area would be an appropriate site for the Annual Planet Ark Community Tree planting which takes place every year in Lane Cove.”

Lane Cove Council was among 32 winners across a range of categories, with Lane Cove also accepting divisional awards for the Toward Net Zero Award, and the Innovation in Planning, Policies and Decision Making Award.

 

3.3 Update on support for local women’s refuge and families in need Recommendation

This report provides an update on the resolution of Council at its July meeting to provide support for women and families in need through community collaboration and identification of homes where temporary access could be provided.

Background

At the Council meeting held 18 July 2024, it was resolved that Council:

 acknowledges the support that has been, and continues to be provided to Women & Children First and Delvena by a dedicated team of local volunteers,

1. investigate a process to identify houses that are empty and available, and contact the owners to seek agreement to facilitate free temporary access; and
2. organises a roundtable discussion with interested parties, including volunteers who have worked to date with Women & Children First and Delvena to support a comprehensive coordinated network to increase the assistance available to women and families in need.

Delvena is a refuge for women, and their children, escaping domestic violence.  Located in Lane Cove (at an address that we do not disclose for safety reasons), it has been supporting women, through the provision of safe accommodation and support services for over 30 years. Delvena is now part of Women & Children First (W&CF), an organisation committed to ensuring women, children and families are safe, connected and given the support they need across Northern Sydney.

Council, residents, local businesses, media, community and charitable organisations have long been supporters of Delvena through a range of good deeds and donations. However the need for support for women and children seeking a safe home and community continues.

In July this year, a meeting was held with Council’s then Mayor, Councillor Scott Bennison, and the staff of W&CF to discuss current issues impacting women and children escaping domestic and family violence and potential solutions to these issues.  It was suggested that unoccupied housing may be used to provide accommodation to W&CF clients. W&CF have experience in managing short to medium term housing arrangement for their clients and welcomed the opportunity to partner with Council on this project.

Prior to this meeting, Council had already provided Delvena with ongoing access to a home in the Lane Cove local government area. Council had also identified a vacant property awaiting development that could be offered to W&CF as short to medium term accommodation and had reached out to W&CF to discuss this opportunity. Since the meeting Council has potentially identified a second vacant property which could also provide a family with desperately needed housing and demonstrate to other property owners how vacant properties can be used to support people in need rather than remaining empty whilst awaiting redevelopment.

Council is part of the Lower North Shore Domestic and Family Violence Network which involves collaboration between agencies and providers in the local area. To further support a coordinated Lane Cove network that increases the assistance available to women and families in need, other interested parties including volunteers will be invited to participate in a roundtable discussion.

Discussion

An investigation of existing Council-owned properties has identified two properties that can be offered to W&CF as short to medium term accommodation while awaiting redevelopment. Council is now in discussion with W&CF to realise this project so that two additional dwellings can be made available, adding to the permanent dwelling already made available for this purpose.

A roundtable meeting has been set to take place on Tuesday 10 December. The meeting has been planned to take place during the UN Women ‘16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence’.

A range of interested parties have been invited to attend the roundtable meeting including but not limited to local volunteers, local churches, Lane Cove Rotary, St Vincent de Paul, Sydney Community Services, Women and Children First, and the North Shore Police Area Command Domestic Violence Team.

The meeting is part of a series of events and actions taking place across the region UN Women ‘16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence’ which recently included the 1 Minute of Silence 4 Violence event hosted in Lane Cove Plaza on Wednesday 4 December.

3.4 Bob Campbell Oval Upgrade Progress Recommendation    

At the April 2024 Council meeting it was resolved to engage Landscape Solutions P/L for the implementation of the Bob Campbell Oval Masterplan.

Construction activities began in May 2024 and have been advancing according to the planned program, notwithstanding the recent rainfall. A significant milestone was reached in late November with the installation of the turf sprigs. It is anticipated that the turf will require around six months to fully establish.

The turf oval is expected to be available for public use by July 2025, however the completed elements of the reserve could be made available to the community early in the new year, when they can be safely accessed by the public.

3.5 Annual Community Satisfaction Survey Results Recommendation

Each year Council undertakes a Community Satisfaction Survey which aims to understand and identify the trends in the community’s satisfaction with Council’s performance across various service delivery areas including planning and development, maintenance of roads and footpaths, parks and open space, and community services and facilities as well as the community’s level of satisfaction with Council’s overall performance.

In the 2024 survey, Council achieved an overall satisfaction rating of 88%, with 17% of residents stating they were very satisfied with Council’s overall performance. In addition to this, of the 20 service delivery areas surveyed, 15 received satisfaction ratings of more than 80%.

Of these 20 service areas, 15 received satisfaction ratings of more than 80%. The following ranked as the top 5 highest rated service areas in terms of satisfaction.

1. Libraries – 100%
2. Events at The Canopy – 99%
3. Special Events – 98%
4. Maintaining a High Standard of Council Facilities – 97%
5. Lane Cove Aquatic Centre – 95%

These five service areas consistently rank very highly in Annual Community Satisfaction Surveys for Lane Cove Council.

The importance of these service areas is also noted in the verbatim comments, with both community events/activities and library services ranking highly as a valued service.

The following ranked as the bottom 5 service areas in terms of satisfaction rating, noting that even the lowest rated area for satisfaction, control of development, achieved a satisfaction rating of 67%.

1. Control of development – 67%
2. Tree Management – 69%
3. Consultation and engagement with the community – 75%
4. Traffic Management of local roads – 76%
5. Maintaining local roads and footpaths – 79%

The following table provides a comparison with other metropolitan councils in relation to the satisfaction levels of key services:-

3.6 Traffic Committee 19 November 2024 Recommendation

3.7 Hidden Disability Sunflower Program Recommendation    

Council has become a member of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program. The Program provides a simple yet effective way for someone to communicate a non-visible disability. Staff have completed training in recent months signaling their ongoing support for members of the community living with disability. This report summaries Council’s involvement in the program ahead of its launch in Lane Cove on Tuesday 3 December which coincides with International Day of People with Disability.

ITC first raised this with council in 2023.  Read more about the program here.

3.8 Lane Cove’s 12 Beetles of Christmas Recommendation    

Council staff have been working hard to create a cohesive and unique experience of Christmas in Lane Cove this year. At the centre of the creative suite is the distinctive Christmas Beetle which features in the activities specially designed for the community utilising funds from Council’s Sustainability Levy.

With the iconic Christmas Beetle being harder to spot than it once was, this unique campaign combines citizen science, biodiversity education, public art, and interactive community events, to surprise, delight and encourage participation this festive season.

The Australian Museum states that evidence suggesting a decline in Christmas Beetles is anecdotal yet compelling. In the 1920s, they were reported to drown in huge numbers in Sydney Harbour, with tree branches bending into the water under the sheer weight of the massed beetles. You won’t see that these days, and there is a public movement to seek answers to the question: where have they gone?

The campaign to raise awareness for the Christmas Beetle encompasses public art, citizen science and biodiversity, and community events. This includes:-

Public Art

12 small scale steel Christmas Beetle sculptural works have been decorated by local artists and community groups and are adorning the public domain in the Lane Cove village.

The intention is that the community will spot the beetle installations during their visits to the village whether it be to shop locally or attend events, with Council holding a photo competition for the community to “catch” a beetle. The development of the public art by various local groups provided an opportunity for creative expression for participants, with the outcome becoming a motif of the Christmas spirit in the Lane Cove village in 2024.

Artists and contributors include:-

• Indo the Artist
• Gwiyaala Aboriginal Art
• Creations and Catastrophes
• Septimus Metamorphosis
• Gallery Lane Cove
• Lane Cove Library Services
• Kindy Cove and other Council teams

3.9 Councillor Training Attendance Request – Local Government NSW Executive Certificate for Elected Members Recommendation
