LOCAL MATTERS LISMORE CITY COUNCIL NEWS ISSUE 23, 26 NOVEMBER 2014

council DeciDeS... At the 11 November Council meeting, resolutions included the following: Application for art gallery funding
Council will apply for a National Stronger Regions Fund (NSRF) grant for the redevelopment of C Block in the CBD to build a new Lismore Regional Gallery and create public open space. The ‘Lismore Quadrangle’ project includes a redeveloped regional gallery, also housing Arts Northern Rivers, a public piazza bounded by the Lismore City Library and Northern Rivers Conservatorium, and a public carpark. The Lismore Quadrangle has a total price tag of $4.6 million and Council will apply to NSRF for half that amount. Council has $700,000 in existing funds and assets for the project and may have to borrow up to $1.6 million should the application be successful. Council will be notified of the outcome in May 2015.
Draft biodiversity and growth strategies on exhibition
Both these strategies are now on public exhibition. See below for full details.
Village organics introduced
Council will roll out an organics collection service to the villages of Nimbin, Clunes, Bexhill, The Channon, Dunoon, Modanville, Tullera, Caniaba, Wyrallah and North Woodburn. This will provide for around 1500 homes and the organics collection will also be offered to rural residents on haulage routes in between these villages. The service will require no change in rates and will mean village residents receive the same service as urban residents. This includes a weekly organics collection with waste and recycling collected on alternate fortnights. The service will be rolled out by April next year and village residents will receive a 240-litre organics wheelie bin, an organics caddy and a roll of Biobags. Residents will also be sent information packages on how to recycle right.
CBD Parking Policy adopted
Council adopted a CBD Parking Policy that increases parking time limits and reduces car parking fees. Public consultation with business and the wider community was held earlier this year and recommendations have been included in the CBD Parking Policy. This includes increasing the existing two-hour time limited parking to three hours in the Kirkland Riviera, Clyde Campbell and Top Hensley carparks. Paid parking fees will also change within the Rowing Club carpark from $2/half day and $4/full day to $2/full day and in the Barney Shearman carpark from $2/2 hours to $2/4 hours. The new measures follow changes made in August to increase all parking from one to two hours throughout the CBD, excluding existing 15 and 30-minute zones.
New four-storey office for CBD
Council approved a four-storey commercial office building at 214 Molesworth Street (in between the Rous Water building and Centrepoint Motel). The $6.8 million development will include a cafĂŠ and 52 car parking spaces at ground level and three levels of offices above ground level. In lieu of a significant shortfall in on-site parking, the developer will build a 22-space carpark on Council-owned land on the corner of Victoria and Market Streets.
New Section 94 Contributions Plan adopted
Council adopted a new Lismore City Section 94 Contributions Plan. The plan outlines the expected level of development in the Local Government Area and the likely demand for infrastructure and facilities including open space and recreation; traffic, transport and cycleways; and community facilities. The plan details the value of contributions required in money, dedication of land or construction of work for future subdivisions and housing as well as industrial, business and tourist development. The new Lismore City Section 94 Contributions Plan comes into effect from 1 January 2015. It can be viewed at www.lismore.nsw.gov.au.

nine aBoriGinal traineeS wanteD for council joBS
Lismore City Council has nine traineeships available from February 2015 for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The new traineeships are part of Council’s Aboriginal Employment Strategy, a focus area of the Reconciliation Action Plan adopted in 2013. As part of the Aboriginal Employment Strategy, Council has committed to make its workforce reflect the percentage of Lismore’s workforce that is Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander by 2017. To achieve this, Council’s workforce must be 6% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. The traineeships on offer are available in roads, parks, water operations and with Northern Rivers Waste, the waste management arm of Lismore City Council. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are asked to register their interest for the traineeships. An information day and site visit will be held later this year so potential trainees can get a first-hand feel for what the job would entail. For more information or to register your interest, contact Jodi Sampson or Sue Miller on 1300 87 83 87, or email jodi.sampson@lismore.nsw.gov.au or sue.miller@lismore.nsw.gov.au.

Draft Growth ManaGeMent StrateGy 2014-2034
On public exhibition 26 November 2014 to end of January 2015 Council has placed the Draft Growth Management Strategy (GMS) on public exhibition to obtain community feedback. The GMS will guide growth for the next 20 years and will replace Lismore’s Urban, Village and Rural Housing Strategies, which have guided new housing developments for more than 10 years. The Draft GMS identifies land that is potentially suitable for development in the medium to long term for a range of housing, commercial and industrial purposes to accommodate future population and employment growth. The document aims to ensure housing is located in areas that can be serviced by sewerage, water and roads infrastructure while protecting prime agricultural land, the natural environment and important landscape features. Areas nominated for future development are in or adjacent to Lismore’s main urban area, in close proximity to villages that provide a range of services, or in an adjacent to existing rural residential estates. Land for new urban, village and rural residential housing is proposed in: • Goonellabah and the northern ridges • East Lismore • Bexhill • Caniaba
• • • • •
Clunes Dunoon Nimbin Wyrallah The Channon
• • • •
McLeans Ridges Modanville Monaltrie Richmond Hill
In addition, the Draft GMS nominates a medium-density housing precinct close to the Base Hospital, Lismore Shopping Square and the CBD. Changes are also proposed to land suitable for rural landsharing community housing (multiple occupancy). The Draft GMS suggests new multiple occupancy communities should be located close to villages and road infrastructure already in place. The Draft GMS can be viewed at www.lismore.nsw.gov.au or in hardcopy at Council’s Corporate Centre. Submissions can be made online, posted to the General Manager, Lismore City Council, PO Box 23A, Lismore NSW 2480 or emailed to council@ lismore.nsw.gov.au. Submissions should state reasons for objection or support. For more information phone our Strategic Planning Coordinator Paula Newman on 1300 87 83 87.
Draft BioDiverSity ManaGeMent StrateGy anD propoSeD rate increaSe On public exhibition 26 November 2014 to 24 February 2015
Council has placed the Draft Biodiversity Management Strategy (BMS) on exhibition for three months for community comment. In conjunction with the exhibition period, Council will hold community consultation into a proposed $500,000 per annum Special Rate Variation to fund the implementation of the strategy. The BMS provides a framework for Council to build partnerships with the community to protect and enhance biodiversity on public and private land in both urban and rural landscapes. The BMS aims to deliver cleaner roadsides; assist landholders and community groups to manage pests and weeds; assist management of bushland and riversides on rural land; provide more opportunities for community involvement through events, workshops and field days; and provide more recreational opportunities in well-managed urban bushland reserves, such as walking tracks. The proposed rate increase to implement the BMS would apply to three rating categories: Residential, Rural Residential and Farmland. The rate rise would be based on the NSW Valuer General’s land values, with the average urban resident paying $25.43 per year; the average rural resident paying $31.68 per year; and the average farmland resident paying $50.63 per year. Note the average farmland cost is higher due to higher average land values. If the community is supportive of the rate rise, Council will decide whether to apply to the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal for the Special Rate Variation in April 2015. If it is approved, the rate increase would take effect from July 2016. All ratepayers affected by the proposed Special Rate Variation will receive a letter detailing the proposal and everyone in the community is encouraged to provide feedback. The BMS can be viewed at www.lismore.nsw.gov.au or in hardcopy at Council’s Corporate Centre. Submissions can be made online, posted to the General Manager, Lismore City Council, PO Box 23A, Lismore NSW 2480 or emailed to council@lismore.nsw.gov.au. Submissions should state reasons for objection or support.
KerBSiDe orGanic certification an auStralian firSt
Council recently became the first council in Australia to achieve organic certification for compost made from kerbside food and garden waste. We achieved the certification through Australian Organic by putting in place new screening processes to remove plastics and other inorganic materials from kerbside green waste as well as stringent product testing and cleaning/hygiene controls. The news means organic producers from right across the Northern Rivers can purchase compost from Council and maintain their organic certification. In 2012 we achieved organic certification for the green waste people drop off at the Lismore Recycling & Recovery Centre. The new certification for compost made from kerbside food and garden waste means all our composting products are now 100% certified organic.
The certified organic compost is available for purchase from Council’s weighbridge for $35 per cubic metre. Smaller amounts can also be purchased.
