`REJECT STRATEGIC PLAN' •

•

It's really a very sad document, comment from Chamber meet

CAPRICORN Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry members this week called on Livingstone Shire councillors to reject the Strategic Plan that has been a controversial issue since the early 1980s.

Andrew McClelland, a former chamber president and the man asked by new president Trevor White to head a sub-committee to investigate both the Strategic and Town Plans, said of the Strategic Plan: "It's really a very sad document".

The report followed up this remark with the comment: "If this is the state of developmental planning in the shire one must wonder if the financial planning of the shire is just as bad".

The chamber's attitude to the strategicplan • was expressed in a variety of ways; "the rank amateurishness of this plan shows through"; "this plan will perpetuate the gap in the map or the concept that Yeppoon is a suburb of Rockhampton"; "there are no action plans, no targets, no plans for social, infrastructure or economic development".

Other comments were: "It is not a document which can be shown to potential developers, investors, retirees or residents. It gives no hope to the business community, nor to residents who want to know where the shire is going".

The chamber report absolutely slammed the Strategic Plan by saying it was not a strategic plan "and, whatever the cost (probably tens of thousands of dollars), it was excessive. This • document is about zoning posing as planning to satisfy statutory requirements".

It suggested that having the councillors locked in a room for three days with a professional corporate planner would be "worth • more than all that is written in this plan".

The chamber even suggested it would be more than happy to help pay for the planner.

The final slap came in the final two paragraphs: "To have this document accepted as a planning document to guide our shire into the 21st century would be the ultimate in negligence and irresponsibility.

"We urge our representatives, the councillors of Livingstone Shire, to reject this document."

The chamber of commerce, representing the Capricorn Coast business community, has been calling for the release of the strategic plan for years.

In the early 1980s, when Pat Andersen was chamber president, members were calling on Livingstone Shire Council to release details of the plan.

Over the years the plan has been treated as something of a joke at chamber meetings because of the length of time taken to produce it.

amber paying to have reports published uncut • By John and Suzv Watson IT has taken years for Livingstone Shire Council to bring its new Town Plan and Strategic Plan to the public's eye and, in a matter of weeks, the Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry has studied both and reported.

If individual councillors feel a sense of satisfaction at the two reports they prepared, over years, with professional help, then, in return, the chamber members should have a similar sense of satisfaction in their reports.

The chamber reports were presented at a meeting held at the Strand Hotel on Monday night.

They were comprehensive reports and are the result of many hours' work, all voluntary, by a committee.

A number of people were invited to read the council reports and pass on their findings at committee meetings.

Notes made at these meetings were compiled into the final reports presented on Monday night.

The reports were considered matters of importance that should be presented to shire residents in uncut form. As a result, it was proposed that a contribution be made to the Capricorn Coast Mirror to present both reports, uncut, in the form of an advertisement.

Cr Mike• Prior said he was prepared to second this motion on condition the number of people attending the chamber meeting be published.

Chamber president Trevor White had no objections to Cr Prior's suggestion and accepted his wording, however he suggested the chamber might want to publish the names of the many people who were involved in, or had input into, preparation of the reports.

flatly refused to name the people he co-opted into helping him ... and the Capricorn Coast Mirror agrees with Mr McClelland's decision.

As he puts it, the people whose help he sought are professionals who may well have future dealings with the council on matters pertaining to both plans.

"Ever since it was announced that I was preparing the reports, I have had dozens of phone calls from people wanting information about the council plans," he said. "When I suggested the callers should simply contact council for that information, I was left in no doubt that many people were suspicious, or frightened, of the council."

Mr McClelland said he knew there was nothing to be concerned about but many people in the community were concerned about having face-to-face dealings with council.

THE Capricorn Coast adopt-a-beach campaign promoted by Greenpeace and sponsored

by Yeppoon Rotary Club was launched on Tuesday.

Rotarian Terry Hayes who organised the Coast's 1990 Australia Day Clean-Up Australia project is area co-ordinator for adopt-abeach.

The Capricorn Coast was Greenpeace's fourth launching in Queensland ... after Brisbane, Townsville and Cairns.

About 40 people attended the launch with representatives from most Coast schools, Capricorn Coast Wildlife Preservation Society and individuals.

"Adopt-a-beach isn't a one day affair like the Clean-Up Australia project ... it is the ongoing care of beaches," Mr Hayes said.

"Clean-up Australia will still be held Australia wide, but adopt-a-beach is a continuing project that everyone can be a part of."

Beach clean-ups are only a short-term solu-

tion to the problem of marine debris. Greenpeace aims to effect lasting change with regard to this issue.

This can be done if Greenpeace can build and maintain a databank that specifies the kind of debris found on beaches, how much there is and where it comes from.

"After the Coast adopt-a-beach campaign is set up with teams of volunteers we will be able to find out what rubbish is carried onto beaches, its possible source, type and remedial action to stop our beaches being used as rubbish tips," Mr Hayes said.

"The Capricorn Coast area is from Five Rocks to Joskeleigh and team leaders will be needed as co-ordinators for particular beaches.

"Team leaders are the people who will make sure there are sufficient volunteers in their teams. There are forms to fill in on what type of debris is found and then cataloguing that information.

"The information is then forwarded to

Chamber far from impressed...

• CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Time and again, motions about the plan have been passed but the plan was always something that never seemed to see the light of day.

Now that it has, and is open for public comment, the chamber is far from impressed.

Two councillors attending the meeting on Monday night faced a barrage of questions about the Strategic Plan but chambers members did not get the answers they appeared to be seeking.

Crs Brian Dorey and Mike Prior told of the work that had been involved in producing both the Strategic Plan and the Town Plan.

The best hope either seemed to offer the chamber was not directly connected with these plans. Cr Dorey suggested the chamber work on having the Local Government Act changed and Cr Prior spoke of a groundswell of opinion expressed at a Maroochydore conference ... he said people "have had it up to here".

But neither spoke directly of supporting the chamber in its criticism.

They both sounded as if they would be defending the plans released by council.

Time will tell. They may see a "groundswell" in this shire and support it ... they may not.

The chamber report on the Town Plan was

introduced by Mr McClelland saying: "We can't understand it ... no-one can understand it."

Once again, a council plan was slammed ... but the council was warned. A previous chamber meeting had been attended by the same two councillors and members had outlined anomalies and complaints.

The chamber, at that meeting, called on council to inform landowners who do not live within the shire boundaries that the plans were available for comment; to advertise the wide changes in the Town Plan; and to provide more information for ratepayers.

Instead of action along these lines, council took the line that it had complied with the Act with regard to advertising the Town Plan.

This week, the chamber's report asked one question that summed up its report: What are the benefits (of the new town plan)? The chamber felt that question was not answered.

Both reports were presented to president Trevor White and the recommendations were adopted.

Reports, uncut, in this issue...

The Mirror receives a steady stream of calls relating to,council and, in most cases, the people are unwilling to tell their story to the council. Asa result, the Mirror makes the contact, drafts letters and generally helps where possible. Cr Brian Dorey, at Monday's meeting, said he also experienced this and spent many hours writing letters to council for people.)

A total of 16 people attended the chamber meeting, not all of whom voted for the proposal to publish the two reports because some left at earlier stages of the meeting, however, the decision to publish was unanimous with 10 members voting.

Red Cross could close unless more people willing to become members YEPPOON branch of the Red Cross will close unless more people are willing to become members.

A special meeting to discuss the branch's closure is at 1.30pm on Friday, November 23 at Yeppoon RSL rooms. The meeting is in lieu of the usual one on November 16.

The branch has falling membership and if it is to be kept viable, anyone interested must attend the meeting. June Harrington from the Rockhampton branch will be present at the meeting.

Yeppoon Red Cross works every month assisting at the blood bank at Yeppoon Hospital. It has a been a force on the Coast and the few members have willing given their time to assist with fund raising for many projects.

Red Cross is an international organisation and it would be a loss to the Capricorn Coast to have this branch close.

Mr Hayes said the volunteers do not have to be members of Greenpeace to participate in the campaign.

"Adopt-a-beach has been going in New Zealand for over a year and 4000 volunteers are involved. They collected 500,000 items last year for disposal," he said.

"Next year the adopt-a-beach campaign and Clean Up Australia will be tied in with the Centre for Environment Conservation in the United State which is collecting information on a global basis.

"People can't be cleaning beaches forever.

The idea of adopt-a-beach is to find out the source of the debris and stop it. We have to find the right way of disposing of our rubbish."

Chamber blasts 'threatening letters' CAPRICORN Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry members this week blasted Livingstone Shire Council and councillors for sending "threatening letters" to people who failed to pay their rates by the discount date.

They also questioned council's right to demand payment before the due date ... the members claim the rates are not due until the end of December.

The letters council sent out were the topic of the page-one story in last week's Capricorn Coast Mirror.

One member, who received the council notice stating that lending institutions would be notified of his non-payment, read out his rate notice and highlighted that payment for the half-year was not due until December 29.

Chamber president Trevor White said on

HIRE Televisions

the one hand, council was demanding prompt payment from ratepayers, and, on the other hand, had a name as a slow payer of its own accounts.

He said Coast business people often complained that council accounts took longer than 30 days to be paid.

Members particularly complained about the threat the letters represented.

They said times were tough enough for everyone without the council threatening to dob them in to lending institutions for non payment of rates.

One member said he had heard someone describe the letters as "outright blackmail".

Another feared such a letter to an elderly resident could cause serious health problems.

Minutes show vote unanimous

• ABOVE: Keith Petersen is pictured preparing the surface of the new Causeway Bridge to allow for contraction and expansion in the joints.

THERE has been some confusion expressed by Livingstone Shire councillors about the implementation of council's rates collection policy.

One councillor said he had not voted on a policy like that and it couldn't be right, another said that it was not to be implemented on ratepayers who owed rates for less than three years.

At the Capricorn Coast Chamber of Commerce and Industry meeting on Monday night when president Trevor White opened the discussion on the notification of lending institutions by council for rate arrears he held up the Capricorn Coast Mirror. Cr Mike Prior said "that was all taken out of context".

Council's policy was printed by the Capricorn Coast Mirror on March 2, 1990 and again last week (November 2).

The minutes of the November 14/15, 1989, general meeting of Livingstone Shire Council, page 31 and appendix A (containing the policy) are available to the public at Yeppoon Library or the shire's administration centre.

Cr: call council if behind in rates LIVINGSTONE Shire ratepayers who are behind in rate payments should contact council, Division One councillor Lloyd Webber said this week.

"Any ratepayers who are behind in rate payments due to financial hardship, should write to council stating their circumstances and request consideration for an extension of time," Cr Lloyd Webber said.

"I was shocked to hear from ratepayers who, though only a few weeks behind in rate payments, had received a show cause letter from council.

"Council has a duty to collect overdue payments, but it also has a duty to treat ratepayers with a little respect and show consideration for

people, who for some reason or other, are unable to meet payment deadlines," he said.

"The threat to advise financial institutions of ratepayers' arrears when those arrears are only just over the discount deadline is far too draconian.

"Council should be doing all in its power to assist people by offering alternative payment methods such as monthly installments to pay off those arrears.

"The council's officers have no option but to do whatever is necessary to recover overdue payments, but in the process council should not lose sight of the fact that it is a servant of the people and more dignified methods to recover money owed should be sought."

The minutes read: Finance matters: Rates collection policy: Moved Cr K Hinz, seconded Cr S B Dorey, "That the Rates Collection Policy as presented be adopted and appended to these Minutes." (See Appendix `A'). Carried.

Moved Cr M W Prior, seconded Cr G M Mather, "That Council advertise the Rate Collection Policy through the Media, and the Shire Clerk use his discretion in reference to Pensioners in arrears." Carried.

No councillor had his/her name registered as against the vote and "carried" means the rates collection policy as printed in the Mirror was agreed to by all the councillors present at that time.

Present at that meeting for the adoption of the policy: Crs T A J Bowen (shire chairman), S B Dorey (deputy chairman), K Hinz, G M Mather, J T Smith, B E Cogill, R D Landsberg, L L Webber, D J McDonald, R W Wall, M W Prior, M D Webb, J S Dowie.

Power pole petition for council talks .

THIRTY-THREE Yeppoon residents signed a petition to have a power pole re-sited at the junction of Adelaide Park Road and Braithwaite Streets.

The petition is expected to be discussed at Livingstone Shire Council's meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, November 13 and 14.

The petition reads: "Now that a fatal accident has occurred at the junction of Adelaide Park Road and Braithwaite Street, Yeppoon, we the undersigned persons request the members of the council to see to the reciting of the light pole situated at the very centre of the road junction and which contributes to the dangerous traffic situation, especially during school traffic hours.

"It is apparent that the increase in traffic over the last few years is beyond the safety limits of this junction.

"This would be one of the oldest sections of road in the town and apart from having some lumpy filling spread along the road edges, little has been done to improve it at all.

"What is supposed to be a footpath on both sides of the road, from Power Street to Hughes Street, is so rough that a person using a child's stroller or pram must walk on the road proper.

"There is no pedestrian crossing, no made footpath and no kerbing. In the wet season the place becomes a quagmire of mud and putrid

water.

"At the critical times mentioned, the junction is used by school buses (often one behind the other), huge gravel trucks (some with dog trailers), low loaders, council machinery, pineapple trucks, together with ordinary vehicles, use this intersection.

"School pupils, riding and walking, in both directions have to pass through this hazard twice each day. There have been frequent nearaccidents recently and it is only a matter of time before another serious accident could occur here.

"Bus smashes have become commonplace recently some with dreadful loss of life and the potential danger of this kind of smash at this junction must be very high.

"There has been some correspondence to Livingstone Shire Council in past years, from residents in the western side of Braithwaite Street in regard to the danger of a smash while trying to get their vehicles out onto the street.

"There have been inspections carried out by various councils. It was agreed the area is dangerous, but still nothing has been done.

"We the undersigned persons request Livingstone members to take immediate action to lessen the danger before more accidents may occur. We also request this submission be tabled at the next council meeting."

"If elected council chairman, I shall be resigning my position with the Morning Bulletin to give that time to the affairs of the shire."

Cr Dorey was re-elected unopposed to serve as president of the show society for the sixth year.

President Stan Nelson welcomed guests from Yeppoon, Rockhampton and Mt Morgan to the afternoon's entertainment.

For a change, the opening was performed by The Entertainers led by Lynda Leech ... and they were a colourful. Two of their numbers were 'Old Fashioned Song' and 'Hush a Bye Island'. Lynda then sang and accompanied herself for two lilting ballads.

Iris Holden had a birthday on the day, so of course she was the recipient of birthday wishes in song.

Bill Shuttlewood then took the stage for 'I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen' and the pretty 'Pearly Shells'. Joe McIntyre was comical as usual, with a different slant on why we have our economic problems.

Mrs Hall, 90 plus young, sang 'Royal Telephone' and 'He'll Have To Go'. Alf Marcombe was in good voice with 'Lovely Nights'. George Cooper played his mouth organ with style for two numbers.

Dot Close was popular with 'It's The Talk Of The Town' and 'Paper Roses'. Ella Lewis and Vee Hopson were a hit with 'Shall We Dance' and 'Maybe It's Because I'm a Londoner'.

Maureen and George Turner were colourful and blended well for 'South Of The Border' and a Spanish Dance to finish. Lorna McIntyre sang two numbers, followed by audience participation in a waltz. Maureen Dinsdale was tuneful with her whistling 'Till The Lights Go Down'.

As usual, Emu Park's afternoon tea was plentiful and sumptuous. George Cooper returned in the second half for some more toetapping numbers.

The Entertainers returned in Western gear for 'Your Cheating Heart' and 'Rocky Top' with Joe McIntyre firing his pistol (cap of course) to end the segment.

Bill and Fred Cole from Mt Morgan, were a pleasant pair, Fred plays the piano and Bill sings. Doreen Svensen, always a crowd pleaser, sang 'It's a Sin to Tell a Lie' and 'Slow Boat to China'.

Vee Hopson sang 'Make Believe' and 'Love Walked In'. The afternoon's finale was performed by Stan Nelson who stirred everyone with 'What I Did For Love' and 'My Woman'.

Compere Carole Taylor called The Evergreens to the stage for Maori's Farewell and thanked the guests for attending.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LSC could break new ground on plan...

I HAVE read with interest the debate in the columns of your newspaper regarding the new Town Plan proposed to be adopted by the Livingstone Shire Council. As some readers will be aware, the closing date for objections is November 16.

What readers might find of interest is the responsibilities of the council in considering the objections which have been validly lodged.

While council is under a statutory duty to forthwith consider any and every objection validly made and lodged, the obligation is an administrative and not a judicial duty and therefore exempt from scrutiny by the Courts.

Nor is council obliged to advise an objector of the result of the council's consideration of the objection; but the council is obligated to forward the objections and the council's representations in respect of all objections to the Minister with the application.

If we lived in Brisbane and were subject to the City of Brisbane Town Planning Act rather than the Local Government Act, the council would be required to notify objectors of the basis of the representations and of the objectors right to make further representations to the Minister.

The City of Brisbane Town Planning Act allows any person who has made a valid objection to a proposed new Town Plan and who is dissatisfied with the representations which the council proposes to make with respect to that objection, to make further representations direct to the Minister but objectors to a Town Planning Scheme proposed by councils operating under the Local Government Act have no such right to make further representations to the Minister.

The disappointing end result is that objec-

tors who have lodged their objection with the Livingstone Shire Council will not be formally notified by the council of the results of the council's determination of the objection nor is the council required to disclose to the objector the basis of the representation it makes to the Minister commenting on that objection.

The only comfort that an objector can have is that the objection and the council's view thereon will be forwarded to the Minister.

It seems anomalous and without any justification that an objector's right to know the council's view on his objection and to be entitled to make further representations to the Minister on the council's view depends on whether the objector resides within Brisbane or outside Brisbane.

It would be a refreshing change and undoubtedly break new ground if Livingstone Shire Council was to at least publicly display the final application to the Minister including the objections and council's representations thereon.

Council has at least 90 days from the last day for objections to make the application to the Minister and the Minister is permitted to authorise a longer period.

A 30 day public display period would not seem unreasonable and perhaps your newspaper could publish details of the more contentious proposals objected to and the council's representations thereon for the public interest.

Readers might also note that any landowner whose land is injuriously affected by a prohibition or restriction imposed by the new Town Planning Scheme may be entitled to obtain compensation from the council. This part of the Local Government Act is complex and all claims are subject to a three year time limit.

This can't be happening in our oasis!

COME off it! So the best local bit of paradise is going to have holes dug in it, mine vehicles crashing through it, barges dredging it, graders reshaping it and be lost forever ... the polluted sea and beaches will at least edge higher onto a sterile shore!

This can't be happening in our own little oasis ... oh, yes, it can!

I think Pivot conned Yeppoon residents and politicians. This is not a derelict war zone, but a rare, pristine wilderness. Further shock and outrage ... the Nissho-Iwai site is unbelievably within the proposed site for stage two of Byfield National Park.

These areas are priceless for recreation, tourism, conservation, habitat sanctuaries, catchment areas and their sheer beauty. It is time for the Coast community to fight against the biggest threat to our environment, economy and lifestyle we've seen.

We were conned again. There's no roads promised, no mass local employment, nothing for Yeppoon except a big hole in the best asset we've got, and a reduction in the Coast tourist potential.

We need more low impact, high employment projects here, not capital intensive, mass destruction projects controlled by foreign borrowing requirements.

THE LIVINGSTONE STRATEGIC PLAN THE CHAMBER OF

RE: The Strategic Plan.

eee eee

ADVERTISEMENT \N.N.N.N.\\\\\Weq

The term strategy comes from the Greek and refers to a confidential military plan. This Strategic Plan is neither confidential, nor military. Whether it is a plan at all is open to debate.

Most of it appears to have been written well before 1987 (with much based on earlier writings from as far back as 1982) and therefore will be almost a quarter of the way through its life before gazettal.

It is outdated, appears to have no real concrete aims or objectives, no targets or action plans. no credibility and advocates no accountability.

It has been suggested that the plan is a disgraceful document for any professional organisation to produce. It may be that this document fulfils the basic requirements of the Local Government Act, but it has nothing to offer for the future of the Shire. Councillors have a responsibility to plan for the future.

The producers of this plan have fallen into the usual trap, and that is they believe that zoning is planning.

Zoning rules and regulations masquerade as planning.

The two are totally different in reality and should be kept well apart, but Livingstone appears to have taken the bait.

There has been no apparent updating or upgrading since 1987. Maps are out of date (Poinciana Shopping Centre) and much of the detailed supporting statistical data is only relevant to justify detailed forward projections.

The forward projections are needed, but the supporting documents are irrelevant to a plan like this.

(Historical, caravan park site numbers, population. occupation, age profile. etc) Manypages are taken up with historical Rockhampton figures. We are inclined to believe that these figures were available and inclUded to increase the size of the document. At least 80percent of the information in this plan is not useful.

Words like "inchoate" (pg 6) "pschycocentric" (pg 131) and "allocentrics" (pg 131) confirm our view that this is not a document for the people, of the people. or by the people. (In fact psychocentric was spelt incorrectly, twice!)

There are some "strategic" comments and suggestions, but many of these are futile and certainly not

planning recommendations.

Eight examples follow. (a) For instance: "The existing Police stations within the Shire considered adequate to service the Shire for the period of the Plan." (5.3.3. pg 63). Absolute rubbish, as Yeppoon station is currently being doubled in size. (b) For instance: "... traffic flow along Anzac Parade from Normanby Street to Yeppoon Inlet should be minimised." (5.4. pg 64). How? What is the plan? What alternatives? (c) For instance: "Should the Yeppoon Hospital be upgraded in the future a choice should be made as to whether a more strategically secure location should be chosen .... prone to storm surge from major cyclonic events." (5.3.2. pg 62). Where should it be? Has land been reserved? Where is the strategic long term (20 years) planning? (d) For instance: "The population of the proposed village at Byfield should be limited to 120 persons so that septic tanks will be sufficient ..." (6.5 pg 85). This is not progressive. positive planning servicing the needs of the people. it is an example of presumptive restrictive urban planning taking control in a rural area. The author of this sentence would probably have limited Brisbane to 120 persons! (e) For instance: "Objective: To enhance the visual qualities of towns within the Shire" (5.(e) pg 15).

This statement is like being in favour of motherhood.

The chamber paid for councillors to visit Mackay but nothing appears to be happening. No plan. no strategy. no overall 5 or 10 year plan. Why have objectives if they are disregarded? (f) For instance: "Objective: To secure an adequate supply of serviceable industrial land to accommodate any foreseeable industrial growth." (7.1.(b) pg 16). Where? When? What is a planning document? See also Town Plan commentary. (g) For instance: "Aim: To provide opportunities for Rural Residential development in appropriate locations ... " (2.1 pp.8-11). The plan then goes on to list no positive reasons for rural development, simply 10 restrictions and reasons why there should be major limiting factors to Rural Residential development.

That does not make a plan. it simply creates expensive and often insuperable obstacles to rural development. Those wanting rural living should probably leave

xxlitio Opel%

the Shire.

There has been no lateral thinking regarding this contentious subject. See Town Plan commentary,-particularly with reference to unadopted roads. (h) For instance: With regard to Yeppoon railway station the plan comments that "... Railways Department has successfully negotiated for the development of major shopping centres including office space over rail corridors or railway stations." (5.8. vi. pg 69). This hair-brained idea is economic nonsense for Yeppoon and was either written by someone who was economically illiterate or had never visited Yeppoon.

The Plan is positive in some areas. "The need to attract further businesses and industrial enterprises to the established townships. particularly Yeppoon. Emu Park and The Caves is also recognised." (Part A 1. pg 2).

However, the plan makes no recommendations.

There is no suggested mechanism for this. no recommendations for attracting these businesses, no strategies for attaining these goals. All there are, in both this Strategic Plan and the Town Plan, are lists of restrictions. controls and objections.

"Tourism is an important potential source of employment which is essential to the underpining of the economic base of the Shire." (ibid) but there is no action plan to attract commerce. industry. tourism or population. Strategy? Future planning? Where is it?

A Plan objective is that we ".... Identify the more important parts of the Shire which make up the Shire Image." (12.a. pg 21). What rubbish.

There is no such thing as a Shire image. It is a diverse, disparate assortment of areas. some with mining, others beef, others fishing. others pineapples, etc. Even the children and tourism bodies fail miserably when trying to define an overall image for the Shire.

The Shire does not need an overall image. It needs to promote the differences and create a Yeppoon image, an Emu Park image and so on.

There are no long term plans included. strategic or otherwise for 'Parks and Gardens'. 'Tourism and Development' or 'Health and Community Services'.

Where are the 5. 10 or 20 year objectives? Without aims and objectives how can short or long term performance be monitored? Where is the direction? This lack of long term plans means we will continue to work on an ad hoc basis and no real progress will ever be

made.

The Strategic Plan makes no planning of strategy ter, for Great Keppel Island or any other island sewage, roads, power. future planning permmaions. etc).

With regard to the islands it says "The future growth of island resort development is subject to a number of important matters ... " (8.8 pg 105) and goes on to list them, but provides no suggestions. no plans, no direction, no comparisons. no strategy ... nothing.

Sad, when the islands are one of the Shire's greatest asset.

(The chamber listed 20 objectives for Great Keppel alone in its recent submission.)

The Plan has no proposals for. or even comments on, the main shopping street of Yeppoon.

A major upgrade of Yeppoon to Emu Park Road is not mentioned. therefore we must assume that it will not be considered. or pressed for. prior to 2007.

A desire for the continuation of four-lane highway to Rockhampton is not mentioned. nor is there any mention of a through road north to the Bruce Highway.

It is important enough for the then aspiring Premier Goss to promise it. but it doesn't even warrant mention in the 20 year plan. but the Tanby to Kinka road does!

The Plan considers "essential" the "Cross-Road linking the coastal road linking Yeppoon and Emu Park. and the Tanby Road." (10.4.2(iv) pg 135).

Will this increase development? Will it be economically profitable in increasing rates revenue on normal cost benefit analysis criteria?

Do the people of Tanby Road really want to go tc Kinka. and vice versa? If this is essential where does i1 stand on the priority list of essential road projects` High. or low? Is there a list at all?

On Bayfield National Park. among other things, ii says "Railway const ruction in conjunction with possible coal port development requires consideration." What consideration and planning should council do? g of The Plan says nothina about the upgr library facilities, neither short, b medium or longterm.

It says nothing about planning for future municipal recreation services like tennis courts, playing fields swimmingpools, parks. gardens. nor about the possibil: ityof future Town Hall requirements, nor the landscap ing of the Emu Park Botanical Gardens, etc.

Are there no strategic plans for any of these Thing

Capricorn Coast Mirror November 9 - November 15, 1990 - 9

COMMERCE REPORT now and the year 2007? If not, why not? And here arc, why are they not included? 'he Plan makes no comment on flood amelioration in ow lying areas of Yeppoon.

There are no constructive proposals regarding the future of the Fig Tree Creek boat mooring area. .0.The plan believes that two jet airstrips in the Shire area at offshore and onshore locations are warranted. nonderful, but utterly non-viable!

The Plan states (5.2.1. pg 54) that " there has been a major over-zoning of residential lands along the coastal strip... there should be no furtherzoning of residential lands for the life of the Strategic Plan." (20 years). According to all sources, other than this Plan, there is a major shortfall in blocks of land in this area.

Basically, the development of infrastructure is well behind demand and this situation will get progressively worse unless "Council is prepared to overcome gross structural deficiencies in relation to the lands already zoned." Where are the plans? What are the schedules? Are there specific objectives?

Of major concern is the first series of aims and otectives which are related to the preservation of primary production (pp. 5-8). Here, the outdated aancept of protection for agricultural land appears uppermost in the minds of the author.

Only 5.5 per cent of people in the Shire have agriculture as their primary source of income and that includes forestry, but the plan wishes to artificially protect the land theywork against incursion by residential development.

There is, and should be, nothing sacrosanct about agricultural land. This attitude is akin to protecting market gardening close to large cities prior to the advent of refrigerators, and that failed.

Even if the population of the Shire tripled there would still be no threat to agricultural production. and to artificially try to protect agricultural land would be like sticking a finger in a hole in a dyke wall. It is a rnse objective and what is more, artificially res the land value of those landholders.

Much better utilisation of the land in the Shire would be had if there were no such blanket restrictions.

If agricultural land is worth more as housing land. either sparse or dense, then that is the way it should go.

Once a council starts playing around with normal nrket forces the consequences can be disastrous.

Cie

The Shire cannot financially provide the services required for rural infrastructure, therefore it creates zoning (not planning) rules and regulations which effectively ban rural development. Surely an abuse of power.

There is no sense of obligation to this plan which would be morally bindingon future councillors or Shire executives.

There are no action plans, no targets. no plans for social, infrastructure or economic development. There is no perception of competitive analysis, either regional or Australia wide.

When comparing the LSC plan with that of Brisbane the rank amateurishness of this plan shows through.

This Plan will perpetuate the "gap in the map" syndrome, or the concept that Yeppoon is a suburb of Rockhampton.

It is not a document which can be shown to potential developers, investors, retirees or residents. It gives no hope to the business community, nor to residents who want to know where the Shire is going.

It is not a Strategic Plan. and whatever the cost (probably tens of thousands of dollars), it was excessive. This document is about zoning posing as planning to satisfy statutory requirements.

If this is the state of developmental planning in the Shire one must wonder if the financial planning of the Shire is just as bad.

Three days of having councillors locked in a room with a professional corporate planner would be worth more than all that is written in this plan. (The chamber would be happy to help pay for the planner.)

Should council want assistance in proper strategic planning please contact the chamber.

To have this document accepted as a planning document to guide our Shire into the 21st century would be the ultimate in negligence and irresponsibility.

We urge our representatives. the councillors of Livingstone Shire, to reject this document.

Trevor White.

President.

Commerce & Industry OF COMMERCE REPORT

(d) Of particular concern is the fact that many people have been contacting chamber members asking questions about the plan and about rezonings.

This is serious and can imply there is either no confidence in the relevant section in council. or that there is concern that a vindictive attitude may be taken by council if anomalies are pointed out. (e) We are very concerned that council has not made any attempt to inform the electors and ratepayers of the changes.

We believe that simply providing information regarding the new zonal areas and the new zoning rules does not inform the ratepayers of the changes or consequences of those changes. vIt is a pity that council appears to simply do the minimum as required by the Local Government Act rather than communicating or selling the improvements to the public. (f) We conclude that much of the current form of the Town Plan attempts to emasculate the flavour and character of Central Queensland from the Plan. We fehr we shall end up with no regional character, just standard Queensland blandness. (g) If the Town Plan is the basis for regulations for the period 1987 to 2007 (as is the proposed life of the Strategic Plan) then this document is the most important to be issued by council for the 20 year period and it is important that it is as near to perfect as possible.

The sub-committee believes that this is not the case and commends that councillors do far more work in many areas before this proposed plan is finalised.

12 Great concern must be expressed at the time involved in the drawing up of the Shire Town Plan. and the variety of people through whose hands it has passed.

It has taken several years.'and was basicallyplanned by consultant planners for an elected council who it, but have since been replaced and those who, streeeeded them will again be replaced before the plan is gazttted.

The original consultant planner has been replaced by an in-house planner who will have left the employ of w the Shire by the time the objection period is completed, let alone the plan being gazetted.

mocillors from the the road. It is the responsibility of the adjacent landowners to maintain it to whatever standard they wish.

11 Other points. °(a) We understand that the Group Titles rules and regulations are being reviewed separately, and welcome this. (b) We believe the regulations regarding landscaping on pp. 51-52, Division III. 6.(4)(i)(ii) (a)-(g) are onerous in the extreme, and should be deleted. (c) We believe council could easily include, on the re' -.notifications, the zoning designation of the land in

Opening this Saturday Night

It has been changed by the Local Government Departments of both National and Labor governments. and it is therefore not surprising that it has no life. no direction, no strategy, no cohesion, no accountability and will not serve the Shire into the future.

13 The sub-committee makes the following recommendations to the Chamber.

(1) Council should inform ratepayers through the media of the "benefits" of the Town Plan. This should be in the form of information on an area by area commentary of changes to zonings and on the changes within the zoning rules.

(2) Council should defer by one month the closing date for objections to allow ratepayers to digest the information promulgated in (1) above.

(3) Council should press at a State level for uniform zone regulations on a statewide basis. That zonings (eg Residential 'B') can mean different things in different Shires or Cities a bureaucratic nonsense.

(4) Council should print the relevant zoning of property on each and every rate notice. With LSC's capable computer systems this should not be a problem.

(5) In future any Town Plan zoning changes should automatically result in notification to each ratepayer of the relevant changes to the property in question and the consequences of those changes.

(6) Council should restrict 'Home Occupation' permits to office type operations in Residential 'A' zoned areas.

(7) Council should consider the possibility of "Unadopted Roads".

(8) We agree with the South Australian Government which has abolished its Local Government Department. Premier Bannon said: "It's time that the State Government didn't continue to play some sort of paternal directive role in what is essentially a tier of government in its own right ...". The misdirected time and effort put into this draft plan exceeds all concepts of logic.

Only one question need be asked about a new Town Plan. "What are the benefits of the new Town Plan?"

Has this question been answered to your satisfaction?

The Chamber asks councillors not to accept the Town Plan in this format. Councillors owe it to ratepayers to review the Plan in its current state and make those changes they consider necessary.

To accept this Plan with its current content and direction will be doing a major disservice to the ratepayers of the Shire. Councillors would be capitulating to the desires of anonymous planners.

Yours sincerely, Trevor White.

President.

100 expected for squash titles lunchtime on Sunday and presentations will be after the final.

The quality of the squash in the championship is expected to be some of the best played in Australia.

"What else could you expect with the calibre of players like Camille and Craig," spokesman Debbie Lamb said.

"Spectators are very welcome and can be sure of seeing excellent squash. The centre has a specially built glass wall so that matches can be seen almost on the court."

Prizes totalling $2000 in cash plus more in other prizes will be presented this weekend.

"For squash this is an enormous amount of money and we thank our major sponsors Trend Interiors and The Strand Hotel for their generosity."

Cricketers' first win

Life saving course on Saturday

ON Saturday, Capricorn Coast Cricket Club's A grade side won its first match against Brothers.

Coast, resuming at 2/39 declared at 8/149. Ross Sheppard top scored with 89 while Gary Flyn made 21 and Brad West made 24.

Brothers, in the second innings was 0/90 at stumps. Ken Ogilvie took 0/20 from 9 ovens, Ritchie Wilkinson took 0/29 from 8, Jeff Ingle 0/12 from 3, Brad West 0/13 from 3, Darren Lynch 0/5 from 3 and Jason Dawes 0/13 from 3.

Tomorrow, Saturday, Coast plays Baralaba at Rockhampton Cricket Grounds starting at 12.45pm.

Coast avoids outright AFTER the first day's play against Grammar at Grammar, Capricorn Coast second grade cricketers had captured only four wickets against the opposition's 243 runs.

The second day started with Grammar declaring at the overnight total of 4-243, giving both teams a chance of victory.

Unfortunately, it was not to be Coast's day ... bundled out for a first innings total of 41, giving Grammar an excellent opportunity for outright points.

Grammar players used the conditions to their advantage, by bowling well. The Coast side followed on, only to slump to 5-33 in the second innings, with outright defeat looking inevitable.

However, a concentrated 54 run partnership between Keith Semmler and Brett Motton saw the Coast side through the afternoon and denied Grammar outright victory.

Brett Motion top-scored with 43 not out, followed by Keith Semmler 24, Ravi Setu 14 and A Gunter 9 not out.

It is hoped Coast will find the winning form with which they started the season.

Junior cricket heads toward grand finals CAPRICORN Coast junior cricket games are leading into the finals to be held before the school term finishes.

In the under 4/5 games on Saturday, Cavaliers defeated Colts, 77 runs to 54, played at Barmaryee.

Best batsman for Cavaliers was Andrew Breingan (18 retired).

Colts' best with the bat and ball was Ian Edminstone with seven runs and two wickets for three runs..

In the senior year 6/7 game between Cavaliers and Colts played at Yeppoon Primary School, Cavaliers ran out winners, 137 runs to 85.

Cavaliers' best batsmen were Dennis Scott (31 retired) and Geoffrey Boon (26 retired). Best bowlers were Lee Manning, two wickets for seven runs; Jon Robertson, two for 10.

Colts best with the bat were Daniel Limpus (23 runs) and James Wilkinson (19). James then line up as best bowler with two wickets for 19.

YACHTIES are tuning their craft for the 4R0 round-the-bay race to be sailed on November 17.

Early entries have been received from Capricor nia CruisingYacht Club's ‘Goldfingef (Jim Forbes) 'Fenina' (Bill Fraser), 'Raw Sugar' (Blair Harrison,_, and 'Spirit' (John Learmonth).

Port Curtis Yacht Club entries include 'Lunchcutter'. 'Restless' and •Chekmate'.

An interesting entry is 'Parle Dee Two' which was launched last weekend. Owner/skipper Richard Watson has declined to enter the easier special cruising class for the challenge of taking on the 'gun boats' in the long and harder course.

"I had the pleasure of sailing on the boat after its launch and with its excellent rating, could possibly surprise on corrected time," CCYC spokesman Kevin Marks said.

CAPRICORN Coast Squash Rackets Association's 1990 open championships are this weekend at the Capricorn Coast Squash Centre sponsored by Trend Interiors and The Strand Hotel.

Players from all over Queensland have been competing in this championship for more than 10 years. This year organisers expect about 100 nominations.

Some locals playing are Peter Dixon. Val Odell.

Powers Shield goes to Mackay THE Powers Brewery Shield was played on the weekend at Yeppoon Bowls Club.

Bowlers, 45 years and under, from Isaacs, Mackay, Port Curtis and Central Queensland competed in the big event.

The event was won by Mackay with three wins plus 64. Second went to Port Curtis with two wins minus 21, then CQ one win minus four. In last place was Isaacs with three losses minus 39.

The scores were no indication of the bowls played or closeness of the teams.

Two skips went through the competition undefeated ... Crowley of Mackay plus 20, and Hoath from CQ 10.

Powers was unable, because of a previous commitment, to send a representative to the day so CQ president Ernie O'Sullivan presented the shield to Mackay team manager Len Blanchard.

Len responded and other speakers were the managers of Port Curtis Col Turrnnon and Isaacs' Rod Aldus.

The greenkeeper was praised for the way the green ran and the ladies were thanked for the meals they provided. The weekend was successful and organisers hope Powers will sponsor next year's game to be held in the Isaacs area.

Nautical Notes Which is correct? Super or unleaded? 100:1 or 50:1?

FORMER Member for Callide Lindsay Hartwig called in last Friday during a visit to the Capricorn Coast ... he tells of standing in line at a post office while a woman buys stamps for a parcel. The man behind the counter turned it around to put on the stamps and she says "I'll put them on myself'. The man behind the counter countered with "They have to go on the parcel"!!!

•• • THE Capricorn Coast Chamber or Commerce and Industry had an interesting meeting on Monday night at the Strand Hotel when it discussed matters ranging from a huge boat show that is expected to draw tens of thousands of visitors to Livingstone Shire Council threatening to dob in its ratepapers to lending authorities for not paying rates by the discount date. In between, the chamber slammed the council for its Strategic and Town Plans. As the night wore on, some of the comments showed a range of wit that makes public meetings better entertainment than television. Somehow or other Norfolk Island came into discussions and Ross Dickson said the place was famous for its Burke and Wills Bars ... "you die of thirst waiting for a drink"! Someone else, discussing council's "friendly reminder," (to dob in people to lenders) said the follow-up was probably a visit by people wearing sheets setting fire to stakes on the lawn; another pondered council's letter asking what action could be taken against people who owned their own homes so were under no threat from lenders; but the classic was the remark from Rob Dalgleish. He had endured the debate on the strategic plan and the town plan, he had listened while a number of

Rasta WU Oita Mt

Tke luck- et speakers commented on how poorly prepared the plans were; he listened while the debate raged over council"s nasty letter then he struck ... "If council has these people who can churn out these tough documents (the letter to ratepayers) why not get them to prepare the town plan and strategic plan?" You know, he's got something!!!

•• • DENHAMS Supermarket has been prettied up of late with the obvious intention of convincing Coast residents that there's no need to go to Rockhampton for weekly shopping needs. The staff have new uniforms; there's a policy on regular training; staff photos smile at shoppers thanking them for shopping locally ... and the friendly checkout operators chat about the weather, price and pack your goods then hand you your docket. And the docket urges you to shop in Rockhampton! !!

•• • IN fact, not only does the docket advertise Rockhampton businesses, it also provides discounts up there! For crying out loud, does the Coast need this sort of opposition? It's probably an oversight. It's probably a case of the supermarket getting cash register rolls either free or at

a discounted price but let's look at it this way, a docket for just five items issued on Tuesday starts off by thanking the shopper for dealing with Denhams Yeppoon then it lists and prices the five items. It then provides details of the money tendered, the change handed back and closes with a time and date stamp. Turn over that docket as you're walking out of the supermarket and you are invited to present the docket at a Rockhampton jeweller and pick up a free pair of ear-rings with every pair you purchase ... and right in front of you is Scoffins Jewellers, Studio Girl and Capricorn Gifts and Souvenirs ... Coast owned and operated businesses that pay rent to Denhams, and they sell ear-rings. The same docket also offers a barbecue chicken special ... and the Savemore Centre Traders' Association president, Mark Maguire, owns the next shop you look at; The Tuckerbox, which, of course, sells barbecue chicken!!!.

•

• •

NOW remember, this docket only had five items on it but there's still room for a special offer on tyres from a Rockhampton business ... forget about Ray Armstrong and the people he employs along Tanby Road, head off to Rocky.

And there's still room to mention another Rocky business ... this one flogs pizza. Now if you want a pizza you can drop in at Pizza Pizzazz, Froggies and Tropical Nights ... and probably a few other places that sell them on the Coast!! We don't need to be reminded about Rockhampton businesses ... we have our own economy to look after. How would Denhams like it if its own tenants handed out advertising on Wool s, C...s, K-M..t, T..get or Frank...s?

WHAT fuel should you use in your outboard? Super? Unleaded? And should the oil be 50:1 or 100:1? Why? Well, all 1989 and 1990 model outboards operating on fixed oil ratios run at 50:1. If the motors are used for high performance you can increase durability by running at 25:1. A Motors that are identified by 100:1 decals A should also be operated at 50:1. Why? Well, A condensation can enter the motor when 100:1 fuel is used and this causes rust internally. if you persist in using 100:1,A make sure you fog the motor before storage! as recommended in the owner/operator's/ manual ... or risk internal damage.

All motors used commercially on fixedl ratios are to be operated at 50:1.

Which petrol? Unleaded ... unleaded,A, unleaded! Why? Because the use of lead-; free petrol allows these engines to run more, smoothly. Also, unleaded petrol reduces"' internal corrosion and spark plug fouling.

If you have any doubts call In at, Cooee Bay Marine, 49 Tanby Rd,A Yeppoon, and see Vince Welsh..;,1

8 - Capricorn Coast Mirror November 9 - November 15, 1990 OILX`xxXXXXxxXXXXXXXXXXXXxxxxxxxxxxXN,,XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxl ADVERTISEMENT Dear Councillors, RE: The Strategic Plan.

The term strategy comes from the Greek and refers to a confidential military plan. This Strategic Plan is neither confidential, nor military. Whether it is a plan at all is open to debate.

Most of it appears to have been written well before 1987 (with much based on earlier writings from as far back as 1982) and therefore will be almost a quarter of the way through its life before gazettal.

It is outdated, appears to have no real concrete aims or objectives, no targets or action plans, no credibility and advocates no accountability.

It has been suggested that the plan is a disgraceful document for any professional organisation to produce. It may be that this document fulfils the basic requirements of the Local Government Act, but it has nothing to offer for the future of the Shire. Councillors have a responsibility to plan for the future.

The producers of this plan have fallen into the usual trap, and that is they believe that zoning is planning.

Zoning rules and regulations masquerade as planning.

The two are totally different in reality and should be kept well apart, but Livingstone appears to have taken the bait.

There has been no apparent updating or upgrading since 1987. Maps are out of date (Poinciana Shopping Centre) and much of the detailed supporting statistical data is only relevant to justify detailed forward projections.

The forwardprojections are needed, but the supporting documents are irrelevant to a plan like this.

(Historical, caravan park site numbers, population. occupation. age profile. etc) Manypages are taken up with historical Rockhampton figures. We are inclined to believe that these figures were available and inclUded to increase the size of the document.At least 80 per cent of the information in this plan is not useful.

Words like "inchoate" (pg 6) "pschycocentric" (pg 131) and -allocentrics" (pg 131) confirm our view that this is not a document for the people, of the people. or by the people. (In fact psychocentric was spelt incorrectly, twice!)

There are some "strategic" comments and suggestions, but many of these are futile and certainly not

planning recommendations. the Shire.

Eight examples follow.

There has been no lateral thinking regarding this (a) For instance: "The existing Police stations contentious subject. See Town Plan commentary,parwithin the Shire considered adequate to service the ticularly with reference to unadopted roads. (h) For instance: With regard to Yeppoon railway Shire for the period of the Plan." (5.3.3. pg 63). Absolute rubbish, as Yeppoon station is currently being station the plan comments that "...

"Tourism is an important potential source of tive urban planning taking control in a rural area.

Where is it?

A Plan objective is that we ".... Identify the more This statement is like being in favour of motherhood.

The chamber paid for councillors to visit Mackay important parts of the Shire which make up the Shire but nothing appears to be happening. No plan. no Image." (12.a. pg 21). What rubbish.

There is no such thing as a Shire image. It is a strategy. no overall 5 or 10 year plan. Why have diverse, disparate assortment of areas, some with objectives if they are disregarded?

made.

The Strategic Plan makes no planning of sjrategy ter, for Great Keppel Island or any other island' sewage, roads, power. future planning perrib.,..ions, etc).

With regard to the islands it says "The future growth of island resort development is subject to a number of important matters ... " (8.8 pg 105) and goes on to list them. but provides no suggestions, no plans, no direction, no comparisons. no strategy ...

Sad, when the islands are one of the Shire's greatest asset.

(The chamber listed 20 objectives for Great Keppel alone in its recent submission.)

The Plan has no proposals for. or even comments on. the main shopping street of Yeppoon.

A major upgrade of Yeppoon to Emu Park Road is not mentioned, therefore we must assume that it will not be considered. or pressed for, prior to 2007.

A desire for the continuation of four-lane highway to Rockhampton is not mentioned. nor is there any mention of a through road north to the Bruce Highway.

It is important enough for the then aspiring Premier Goss to promise it. but it doesn't even warrant mention in the 20 year plan. but the Tanby to Kinka road does!

The Plan considers "essential" the "Cross`-Road linking the coastal road linking Yeppoon and Emu Park. and the Tanby Road." (10.4.2(iv) pg 135).

Will this increase development? Will it be economically profitable in increasing rates revenue on riormal cost benefit analysis criteria?

Do the people of Tanby Road really want to go to Kinka, and vice versa? If this is essential wheredoes it stand on the priority list of essential road projects?

High. or low? Is there a list at all?

On Bayfield National Park. among other things. it says ''Railwayconstruction in conjunction with possible coal port development requires consideration." What consideration and planning should council do?

The Plan says nothing about the upgric g of library facilities, neither short, medium or lo 6 term.

It says nothing about planning for future municipal recreation services like tennis courts, playing fields, swimming pools, parks. gardens, nor about the possibility of future Town Hall requirements, nor the landscaping of the Emu Park Botanical Gardens. etc.

Are there no strategic plans for any of theseihings

between now and the year 2007? If not, why not? And i~ljtere are, why are they not included?

I `he Plan makes no comment on flood amelioration in tow lying areas of Yeppoon.

There are no constructive proposals regarding the future of the Fig Tree Creek boat mooring area.

The plan believes that two jet airstrips in the Shire area at offshore and onshore locations are warranted.

Wonderful, but utterly non-viable!

The Plan states (5.2.1. pg54) that "... there has been a major over-zoning of residential lands along the coastal strip... there should be no furtherzoning of residential lands for the life of the Strategic Plan." (20 years). According to all sources, other than this Plan, there is a major shortfall in blocks of land in this area.

Basically, the development of infrastructure is well behind demand and this situation will get progressively worse unless "Council is prepared to overcome gross structural deficiencies in relation to the lands already zoned." Where are the plans? What are the schedules? Are there specific objectives?

Of major concern is the first series of aims and objectives which are related to the preservation of primary production (pp. 5-8). Here, the outdated cq,ncept of protection for agricultural land appears uppermost in the minds of the author.

Only 5.5 per cent of people in the Shire have agriculture as their primary source of income and that includes forestry, but the plan wishes to artificially •prptect the land theywork against incursion by residential development.

There is, and should be. nothing sacrosanct about agricultural land. This attitude is akin to protecting market gardening close to large cities prior to the advent of refrigerators. and that failed.

Even if the population of the Shire tripled there would still be no threat to agricultural production, and to artificially try to protect agricultural land would be li - sticking a finger in a hole in a dyke wall. It is a arose objective and what is more, artificially recs the land value of those landholders.

Much better utilisation of the land in the Shire would be had if there were no such blanket restrictions.

If agricultural land is worth more as housing land. either sparse or dense, then that is the way it should go.

Once a council starts playing around with normal market forces the consequences can be disastrous.

The Shire cannot financially provide the services required for rural infrastructure, therefore it creates zoning (not planning) rules and regulations which effectively ban rural development. Surely an abuse of power.

There is no sense of obligation to this plan which would be morally binding on future councillors or Shire executives.

There are no action plans. no targets, no plans for social, infrastructure or economic development. There is no perception of competitive analysis. either regional or Australia wide.

When comparing the LSC plan with that of Brisbane the rank amateurishness of this plan shows through.

This Plan will perpetuate the "gap in the map" syndrome, or the concept that Yeppoon is a suburb of Rockhampton.

It is not a document which can be shown to potential developers, investors, retirees or residents. It gives no hope to the business community, nor to residents who want to know where the Shire is going.

It is not a Strategic Plan, and whatever the cost (probably tens of thousands of dollars). it was excessive. This document is about zoning posing as planning to satisfy statutory requirements.

If this is the state of developmental planning in the Shire one must wonder if the financial planning of the Shire is just as bad.

Three days of having councillors locked in a room with a professional corporate planner would be worth more than all that is written in this plan. (The chamber would be happy to help pay for the planner.)

Should council want assistance in proper strategic planning please contact the chamber.

To have this document accepted as a planning document to guide our Shire into the 21st century would be the ultimate in negligence and irresponsibility.

We urge our representatives, the councillors of Livingstone Shire, to reject this document.

Yours sincerely.

Trevor White.

President.

THE LIVINGSTONE SHIRE TOWN PLAN - THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE REPORT

RE: The new Town Plan THE chamber feels it cannot comment on individual anomalies in this plan. but must present only an overview.

It must be noted the chamber does not have the facilities to do in-depth investigations on complex town planning matters. We are not experts in town planning.

Our comments are made as the customers/users of the town plan.

Only one question need be asked about a new town plan. "What are the benefits?" If that question can be answered satisfactorily, the plan should be implemented. If not ... read on.

1 Not user friendly.

The plan is not a document which can be easily read and judged by the ratepayers. councillors or people such as real estate agents. draughtsmen. builders or

thereby simplifying the categories. but it appears that we now have (particularly in the business districts) virtually lost much of the "as of right" uses, and now planning of business development in the town will become an almost permit system because of the limiting of 'right of use' to 'with consent'.

This may not be worrying to planners/councillors as. by definition, they are the judges in these matters. but it should be of serious concern to the residents and business people in the area.

One consequence of the reduction of the 'as of right' categories is that the workload and thereby costs. on applicants (and revenues for planners. and possibly consultant planners) increases dramatically. and to the detriment of proper expenditure of rate revenue.

The time involved in a successful 'consent' application can prohibit commercial development.

Imagine the following scenario: A tenant rents a commercial property with a view to operating a 'with consent' business. Application goes to the next council

wonder why this zone was not abolished and absorbed into Central Business or Local Business.

There has been an outcry at the ending of the 'Service Industry' zoning classification. However it now appears that the ramification of this is not as serious as first thought.

The replacement of 'Service Industry' does not in anyway effect the 'Normal Ancillary Use' related to the normal retailing of products which need occasional non-obnoxious servicing. This is a good example of where an information or communication package should have been issued by council.

5 Objections.

There is concern that it is now too late for a satisfactory resolution to objections. The process is laid out. and feasible, but we believe that in practice the plan will receive few objections because,of its incomprehensible presentation, and that those objections will be not considered, or quashed by the bureaucratic process. either locally or in Brisbane.

council on the advice-ot-ufficers' basis.

8 Commercial areas.

The future development of the CBD is to be in the Queen and Normanby Streets area. (according to the Strategic Plan) but the Town Plan takes no notice of this, in fact the proposed adjustments to the zoning areas contradicts this proposal and makes it even more difficult for prospective businesses to operate in the area designated by the Strategic Plan.

(The Town Plan suggests development south and the Strategic Plan suggests development north ' Land zoned Residential 'C' in Normanby S -t is still zoned Res not CBD in spite of it being listed in the Strategic Plan as CBD. There appears to be no land designated as future business. Why? The consequences of these examples of lack of planning are that the incidence of spot consenting will increase to an extent where relative havoc will result.

the road. It is the responsibility of the adjacent landowners to maintain it to whatever standard they wish.

11 Other points. (a) We understand that the Group Titles rules and regulations are being reviewed separately, and welcome this. (b) We believe the regulations regarding landscaping on pp. 51-52. Division III. 6.(4)(i)(ii) (a)-(g) are onerous in the extreme, and should be deleted. (c) We believe council could easily include. on the Jr!' notifications, the zoning designation of the land in q .ion. (d) Of particular concern is the fact that many people have been contacting chamber members asking questions about the plan and about rezonings.

This is serious and can imply there is either no confidence in the relevant section in council, or that there is concern that a vindictive attitude may be taken by council if anomalies are pointed out. f..\

It has been changed by the Local Government Departments of both National and Labor governments. and it is therefore not surprising that it has no life, no direction. no strategy. no cohesion, no accountability and will not serve the Shire into the future.

13 The sub-committee makes the following recommendations to the Chamber.

(1) Council should inform ratepayers through the media of the "benefits" of the Town Plan. This should be in the form of information on an area by area commentary of changes to zonings and on the changes within the zoning rules.

(2) Council should defer by one month the closing date for objections to allow ratepayers to digest the information promulgated in (1) above.

(3) Council should press at a State level for uniform zone regulations on a statewide basis. That zonings (eg Residential 'B') can mean different things in different Shires or Cities a bureaucratic nonsense.

(41 Council should print the relevant zoning of
