2. Disclaimer

All persons present are advised that the proceedings of this meeting will be recorded for record keeping purposes and to ensure accuracy in the minute taking process.

3. Announcements from the Presiding Member

The Committee is smaller than at the last meeting, due to Council Decision 326/14 to suspend the Withers Action Group representation on the Committee until compliance issues have been resolved. The process is underway, it was noted that the Convenor of the Withers Action Group and Community members attended the meeting. The South West Development Commission have approved the funding for the Local Area Plan (LAP) for Withers. The Withers Advisory Committee put a motion forward that a LAP for Withers be approved. The planners will look at Withers, how it is being planned, the road connections and how the suburb can be improved. This is a significant step forward that will address items on the Withers Action Plan that were out of reach of the Withers Advisory Committee.

6. Public Question Time

In accordance with Reg. 7(4)(a) of the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996, members of the public in attendance at the meeting may stand, state aloud their name and address, and ask a question in relation to any matter over which the municipality of Bunbury has jurisdiction or involvement. In accordance with Standing Order 6.7(3)(a) a person wishing to ask a question, must complete a question form which is provided in the trays at the back of the public gallery and on the City’s website.

If your question requires research or cannot be answered at the meeting, it will be taken on notice and you will receive a written response and a summary of your question (and any responses provided) will be printed in the minutes of the meeting.

6.1 Public Question Time

Glen Willetts, 40 Wilkerson Way, Withers Question 1: There is a deficit at Welcome Park. The park was opened in 2011/2012 to date

there is no sign. Request a sign. Answer: The question will be asked what can be done about installing the sign. Question 2: The 2014/2015 Allocation of monies consider more footpathing still needed in the

Withers Area and relook at what was suggested when the Withers Action Plan was done. The bus routes and getting footpaths to link up with bus routes. Such as Craven Court and Shaw Close going down from there for the seniors. Seniors having to use scooters and walking frames through dirt or on the road.

Answer: Footpaths have been completed as part of the Withers Action Plan, however there

is more work to do. The recent feedback indicated that footpaths are important. There are path projects to be considered in the agenda, and this suggestion will be considered for future project.

Barbara Watkins, 320 Ocean Drive, Withers Question 1: New Bus Stops on Ocean Drive, heading towards Washington Avenue from the

Ocean end, one of them is on the road, 1 metre from the road. Unless the speed limit comes down to 50 km/hr that is extremely dangerous.

Answer: Phil Harris, Director of Works and Services advised that there has been some

preliminary investigation into Ocean Drive speed limit, in consultation with Main Roads to implement short term and long term solution for Ocean Drive. Safety concerns can be looked at but any action needs to consider the final design or construction for Ocean Drive. (Note: the bus stops are more than one metre from the edge of seal)

6.2 Responses to Public Questions Taken ‘On Notice’

Donna Wolter, Unit 4, 31 Victoria Street, Bunbury Question 1: In reviewing the Financial Report of the WAC, item 9.1 table 2 summary of DWS 1

Expenditure Report, does the Chairperson agree that the financial report is correct, can the Chairperson explain why the sums in columns Committed Expenditure and Actual Expenditure do not add up?

Answer: The committee was advised upon review of the agenda that the figures in Item 9.1

table 2 summary of DWS 1 Expenditure Report were incorrect. The attachment DWS 1 Expenditure Report as at 08.09.14 is correct; however the figures were not transposed into the item correctly. This has been amended in the minutes as per WAC Decision 44/14.

Question 2: Can members of the WAC be confident in making financial decisions when the

figures outlined in table 2 Summary of DWS 1 Expenditure Report as at 8 September 2014, page 4 of the WAC agenda, do not match those same figures in the attachment? For example the actual expenditure to install CCTV in attachment DWS 1 states at 4 August 2014 actual expenditure is $176,731 but the cost provided to committee members in the body of the report states the actual expenditure for 8 September 2014 is $1,600? Which report is correct?

Answer: As stated above DWS 1 Expenditure Report as at 08.09.14 is the correct report and

there was a clerical error in not updating the figures in Item 9.1. The WAC members are confident that the information provided in DWS 1 Expenditure Report is correct.

Question 3: Why are WAC being asked to consider transferring funds from the Withers Reserve

when the current allocated budget of $300,000 for 14/15 has existing funding allocations which would cover over budget spending?

Answer: The $8,650 transfer from the Withers Reserve is required as the 2013/14

Devonshire Path project which was completed in the 2014/15 year is over budget as per update provided in Item 9.1. This ensures that the 2014/15 $300,000 allocation is apportioned to 2014/15 projects and not carry over projects.

7. Confirmation of Minutes

The minutes for the Withers Advisory Committee meeting held on 8 August 2014 will be confimed at the next meeting on 14 November 2014.
