Summary of U&DCF Minutes General Meeting
1st August 2011
BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES:
Boree Street Toilet Block: The Toilets have been inspected and
were generally considered to be acceptable for use. It was suggested
that the outside walls could be painted with murals like the one in
Green Street, which has no graffiti on it. Perhaps this could be a
youth project and Woolworths or Coles could be approached to sponsor
such paintings.
Boree Street Car Park: No response to our letter to date. This
topic will be discussed at the combined CCBs meeting on Friday 5 th
August.
GUEST SPEAKER: John Lenehan, IT Manager, SCC.
John attended the meeting to demonstrate the main features of
Council’s new website. He told the meeting that the original website
was installed in 1990 and had only one adjustment prior to this new
installation. It was a battle to maintain it and one person ran it.
This new website has a group of twelve to fifteen council staff from
the various sections contributing to the information on the site.
CORRESPONDENCE: In - 32 items
Out - 33 items Items of interest:
Insurance: Insurance cover for the CCB Inc and individual
members is very complex. Summarized as follows:
a) in the event of an incident during a meeting and any resulting
claim, Council’s insurance is unable to cover the Ulladulla and
Districts Community Forum as an incorporated body-being a separate
legal entity to Council.
b) in the event of an incident at a meeting a claim by or against an
individual CCB member can be covered by the Council.
Local Environment Plan: is now on public exhibition for 13
weeks. There has been a meeting arranged to discuss the LEP with the
combined CCBs for Monday, 29 th
August, 2011 at 7.00pm in St. Martin’s Church Hall,
Ulladulla. Council staff will be in attendance to answer any
questions.
Council staff are available at Council offices daily to assist you
if required with the LEP. All of the details of the LEP are on
Council’s website.
Council’s annual financial assistance to CCBs has increased from
$400 to $500. Council is seeking comments on the provision of a
Disabled parking space in Wason Street Ulladulla. This was discussed
and no objections were raised.
Council seeking comments on suggested locations for new Bike
Racks: outside Fish shop in Burrill Lake, in Wason Street, Milton,
North Street near Retirement Village. Clr Findley advised that the
local Bike Users Group would be the best people to give feedback on
this issue.
GENERAL BUSINESS:
A.R.R.C. (Future Park) Ruth Richards reports:
D.A. has gone to Warwick Papworth and we await his reply. David Del
Tufo is happy with overall progress.
A website is being created, thanks to Joanne Gash MP for her kind
donation.
North Street Community Housing: Available for the 55’s and
over.
Clothes lines on verandas have been lowered when not in use, out of
sight.
Only 8 car parking spaces available for 18 units No smoking in
Units, allowed on verandas.
Street Lighting: The cost of leaving street lighting on
unnecessarily in the day time was raised. The Secretary to write to
Council for an explanation. However should you see something that
concerns you, email the details to Secretary Jan.
Community Engagement Policy: The Council wants to involve
the community to make decisions. There are five (5) levels: (1)
Inform,- tell you, (2) Consult, - go to community for Feedback (3)
Involve – listening to us and responding to concerns, (4)
Collaborate – make joint decisions, (5) Empowerment – community
decides. The CCB could be involved at levels 2, 3 and 4.
The Secretary had prepared a questionnaire and asked those present
to consider the items and choose ways they could be more involved in
Council decision-making.

Summary of U&DCF Minutes General Meeting
5th September 2011
REPORTS: Janice Shalhoub gave reports on two meetings she
attended:
Civic Centre Steering Committee. Meeting on 1 st
September attended by about 20 people including the Mayor, five
councillors and ten Council staff. Janice represented Brian
Richardson who was unable to attend.
Architect Larry Molocco from Brewster Hjorth Architects explained
that the aim of the meeting was to get consensus on a clear
direction for a single planning option so the architects could work
on it in detail. The consensus was for a design costing around $8
million which includes air conditioning, a full kitchen, additional
parking and landscaping, several meeting rooms, a much bigger
library, foyer and visitor centre with shared spaces. The auditorium
would remain and would be able to host large events. The building
would extend west and south for extra space and optimise harbour
views.
Essential services will have to be upgraded. These include fire
safety equipment, electrical infrastructure, water services,
ventilation and public address system.
The Mayor and Councillors were very supportive of investigating ways
to ensure there is additional funding for the building, which it is
estimated will provide for future needs for the next 25 years. It is
planned to have another meeting in 3-4 weeks time, with hopefully
plans to be presented to the community in November.
Boree Street: An on-site meeting was held Thursday 25th
August,
attended by 25-30 people. Strategic Planning Director, Peter Adams,
assured the meeting that some temporary measures will be implemented
to improve pedestrian safety in Boree Street before Christmas.
Surveyors were in Boree Street on Friday 2 September at 7.15am.
Short term options to be considered include paint lines on street,
removal of parking one side or the other or both, change of traffic
movement in and out of Coles site and speed management.
Long term plans will be considered after traffic settles after the
opening of the new Target and Woolworths developments. Woolworths
will have 200 parking spaces, Target 160.
GUEST SPEAKERS. Guest speakers from Shoalhaven City
Council and the Police attended. Detective Inspector Thone,
Shoalhaven Local Area Command advised:
13-14% of the overall crime rate in Shoalhaven occurs in Ulladulla.
Break and Enter – Between January and July 2011 there has
been an 8-9% increase in residential break-ins. For business
premises there has been a spike with 82 in first 6 months of 2011
compared with 66 in same period in 2010. Shoalhaven had 234 business
break and enters for the same period in 2011. 2 Malicious Damage –
Ulladulla 147 first half of this year compared with 115 for same
period last year.
Motor Vehicle Theft. – 28 this year compared with 14 last
year and 199 for Shoalhaven, therefore Ulladulla accounts for about
14%.
Fifteen (15) General Duties police are stationed in Ulladulla, 5
highway patrol. Extra police are stationed in Ulladulla over holiday
periods with station being manned for variable periods well past
midnight. December 17 – end January Ulladulla will be manned 24/7.
In response to a question about manning levels Detective Inspector
Thone responded that the correct procedure to request increases in
manning levels is to go through the local member.
Service – Risk assessment of business premises is provided as
a free service to identify where the specific business is vulnerable
to crime and suggest strategies. Contact the local police to arrange
this service.
Domestic violence – First half of year 31 incidences compared
with 36 last year (about 208 in Shoalhaven). The incidence iof
domestic violence in the Shoalhaven is quite high compared with
other areas. People going away on holidays can register with the
Police who will drive by the house regularly.
A pilot study is being set up to try an alternative Neighbourhood
Watch Program through Facebook.
Detective Inspector Thone was pleased to answer questions, after
which he was thanked for coming.
Draft Shoalhaven Local Environment Plan 2009 – Marie- Louise Foley
and Jessica Rippon. Marie-Louise gave a presentation on the Draft
which is currently on exhibition for comment. She covered the
definition, State statutory requirements and flexibility given to
Council. In the Plan black print gives mandatory State requirements
and red print the proposals made by Council. People can make
objections and request changes to clauses in red but clauses in
black print cannot be altered. She explained the differences between
the hard copies and the access to the computer copies and emphasized
and showed us how easy it was to obtain the information via the
computer, giving examples of Ulladulla, the colour codes and
explaining abbreviations and how to access details of your property.
She explained that in the Draft "R2 Low Density Residential"
included a height limitation of 11 metres (3 - 4 storeys), compared
with height under the current Plan of 8.5 metres (2 storeys).
Council would carefully consider any DA for an 11 metre high
building beside a lower dwelling and look at the impact of over
shadowing in particular. This is particularly important, as under
the proposed LEP 11 metres could be the maximum height limit for all
residential zones unless submissions are received opposing this
idea. This last was of great concern and all were requested by the
Chair to write to Council about it, if worried.
Address your submission to Draft SLEP 2009 submission, Shoalhaven
City Council, P.O. Box 42 Nowra NSW 2541, Quote reference 38430E, or
on-line
www.slep2009.shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au .
Marie- Louise stated everyone has until 14 October to get their
submissions to Council. She provided forms for those wishing to
submit simple submissions. She also advised that staff were at
Ulladulla Council Office, Deering Street, until conclusion of the
exhibition time. Jessica stated she would be at Ulladulla next day
to help people find the information they wanted. Information is also
available at Ulladulla Library, but not specialist Council staff to
assist.
Marie-Louise handed out a written reply to questions previously
submitted by the Forum. Marie- Louise and Jessica were thanked for
their help, as were all present for attending and invited to
participate in supper.
The next meeting will be held on Monday 10 October 20011 at 7pm (the
first Monday is a Public Holiday)
Meeting closed 9.30pm
