Item No: C03/23-251

Readoption of the Asbestos Management Policy and Guideline

Responsible Division:                    Environment and Planning

Officer:                                              Director Environment & Planning

File Number:                                    8736618

Community Strategic Plan Goal:  A clean and green community  

 

 

Summary

This report recommends that Council readopt the Asbestos Management Policy and supporting Guideline. These documents were first adopted in 2018 and readopted in 2021.

 

Recommendation

That Council:

1.   Readopt the Asbestos Management Policy.

2.   Note the continuation of the supporting Guideline.

 

Report

The Asbestos Management Policy and its supporting document, the Guideline to Asbestos Management in Cumberland City Council, which was first adopted in 2018 and readopted in 2021, outlines Council's commitment and responsibilities for asbestos management and aims to minimise any exposure to asbestos as far as reasonably practicable. The Policy also ensure that Council complies with relevant legislation.

The review date has been triggered for the Policy and Guideline, and the documents have been reviewed by Council officers.  The review has identified that the contents of the Policy and supporting Guideline continues to be relevant and reflect best practice.  It is recommended that Council readopts the Asbestos Management Policy and its supporting Guideline.

Community Engagement

There are no changes to the Asbestos Management Policy and its supporting document Guideline to Asbestos Management in Cumberland City Council, and therefore no further community engagement is required at this time.

In 2018, the Asbestos Management Policy was advertised on Council’s website and in the local paper for 28 days, during which one (1) submission was received from the public. Council also made separate contact with the Asbestos Disease Foundation of Australia during this period to advice of the draft Policy and invite their submission; however, no response was received.

Policy Implications

There are no changes to the Asbestos Management Policy and its supporting Guideline that were adopted in 2018 and readopted in 2021.

Risk Implications

The Policy continues to ensure that Council complies with relevant legislation, and will assist Council in minimising the risk of exposure to asbestos containing material to the Cumberland community and workforce.

Financial Implications

There are no financial implications for Council associated with this report. Any actions arising from the Asbestos Management Policy and its supporting Guideline will be funded from the existing budget. Grant funding will be sought where applicable and/or available.

CONCLUSION

It is recommended that Council readopts the Asbestos Management Policy and its supporting document the Guideline to Asbestos Management in Cumberland City Council.  Upon readoption, the Asbestos Management Policy and supporting Guideline will confirm Council’s continued commitment to ensure that asbestos containing material is managed to protect the health and wellbeing of staff, contractors and the community.

Item No: C03/23-252

Report on Variations for Development Standards approved under delegation - October to December 2022 Quarter

Directorate:                                       Environment and Planning

Responsible Officer:                       Director Environment & Planning

File Number:                                    PS20/002

Community Strategic Plan Goal:  Enhancing the Natural and Built Environment  

 

 

Summary

The purpose of this report is to provide details of the development applications where a variation to a development standard has been approved under delegation in accordance with the reporting requirements of the Planning circular PS 20-002 issued by the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment on 5 May 2020.

 

 

Recommendation

That Council receive and note this report.

 

Report

On 5 May 2020 the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment issued Planning Circular PS 20-002 Variations to Development Standards.  The purpose of the circular is as follows:

“to advise consent authorities of arrangements for when the Secretary’s concurrence to vary development standards may be assumed (including when council or its Independent Hearing and Assessment Panel are to determine applications when development standards are varied) and clarify requirements around reporting and record keeping where that concurrence has been assumed.”

By way of background, the objective of clause 4.6 of a Local Environmental Plan (LEP) is to provide an appropriate degree of flexibility in applying certain development standards so as to achieve better outcomes for and from development.  The clause is a mechanism by which a development standard within a planning instrument can be varied provided that particular requirements are satisfied. A planning instrument includes an LEP, State Environmental Planning Policy or Regional Environmental Plan.  In the case of Cumberland City Council, the relevant LEP’s were the Auburn LEP 2010, Holroyd LEP 2013 and Parramatta LEP 2011. It is currently the Cumberland LEP 2021.

Clause 4.6 also requires that development consent must not be granted for development that contravenes a development standard unless the concurrence of the Planning Secretary has been obtained.  The circular, however, provides that consent authorities can assume the concurrence of the Planning Secretary under clause 4.6 of an LEP (which adopts the Standard Instrument (Local Environmental Plans) Order 2006), or any other provision of an environment planning instrument to the same effect, in accordance with Clause 55 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021 with the following exceptions of relevance to the purpose of this report:

·        A delegate of Council cannot assume the Secretary’s concurrence if the development contravenes a numerical standard by greater than 10%; or the variation is to a non-numerical standard.

This restriction does not apply to decisions made by the Cumberland Local Planning Panel and the Sydney Central City Planning Panel who are not legal delegates of Council.

Procedural and reporting requirements

In addition to maintaining a publicly available online register of all variations to development standards approved by a consent authority or its delegates and submitting a report of all approved variations (including those made under delegation) through the NSW Planning Portal, the Department is now also requiring that a report of variations approved under delegation from a council be provided to a meeting of the Council at least once each quarter.

Question/s:

Are the controls in an adopted Development Control Plan mandatory?

Answer/s:

No, a development control plan is a policy document that is to be applied flexibly. Section 4.15(3A)(b) of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 expressly contemplates flexibility to DCP standards provided objectives behind the standards are met.
