BRG at Cross Roads Dan Franklin

3:28

BRG has had some great wins

• Better risk management at DCP home
• Improved intersection at Liddelow and Armadale
• Rates proved wrong twice
• Improved communications with ratepayers
• Fire permits and control orders rationalised
• Downward classification of Liddelow and

installation of traffic calming Succeeded through evidence based, rational, persistent lobbying

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 19

Steve Portelli Steve Portelli Steve Portelli

Some lobbying has fallen on deaf ears

• Reduce aircraft noise nuisance
• Better value for money from rates

– 1,000 on Cockburn payroll, 500 FTE

• Better strategic planning

– Clear linkage to operational plans – Measurable KPIs

• Cameras to apprehend hoons
• ‘Urban Investigation’ for rural Jandakot & Treeby

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 20

Current Committee members are worn out

• Victim of our own success
• Cockburn’s attitude – Not them again!

– Too often, we are too right – Don’t like being shown up

• But they get it wrong so often!
• State government not listening

– Not enough votes here – Ears only for big end of town

• Stockland
• Perron
• Schaffer

Future for Rural Jandakot and Treeby Dan Franklin

4:03

Perth@3.5million still not published

• 31 July 2015 – submissions closed

– BRG asked for Jandakot rural to be zoned Urban – 1,000 other submissions

• July 2017
• December 2017
• March 2018 - plan still not published

– No ETA

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 34

plan might be published

Rumours abound …

• Jandakot and Treeby will not be urban

investigation

• Yaz Mubarakai MLA lobbying in support
• New WAPC chairman might review

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 35

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 36

Last year we asked Cockburn for help

• They conducted a survey

Motion:

• The BRG requests the City of Cockburn to

develop a formal structure plan for the whole rural and urban area between Armadale Road and Jandakot Airport from Warton Road to Berrigan Drive in full consultation with property owners

• Vote:

Passed unanimously

12 March 2017

Cockburn let down its ratepayers

• Stitched up the survey results

– Dismissed 100 ratepayers’ clear requests – Focused only on 7 who want no change

• Repeatedly claim “majority” and “strong” support

for current land usage

• If Cockburn does not support urban

investigation, then why should WAPC or the Minister?

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 37 Council Agenda papers 8 March 2018

Something is going on that we don’t know

• Cockburn’s position defies logic

– Approved Schaffer / Urban Stone – Approved Treeby structure plan to develop brickworks site

• Why would Cockburn so blatantly falsify the survey

results?

• Why does Cockburn want to change its recommendation

to Perth@3.5million?

• What did CEO Cain say to WAPC Chairman?

– Met on 26 September

• before Council considered report

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 38

What next?

• Rely on big developers to get change

– Stockland – Parcel – Perron

• Only 150 votes – who cares?

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 39

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 40

Jandakot Road Speed and Metronet Dan Franklin

4:18

Speed limit is still 80 kph

• Main Roads adamant
• On-line petition attracted only 33

Jandakot/Treeby signatures

– None from Calleya

• Does anyone care?
• Somehow, Berrigan Drive now 60 kph

– Who asked for that?

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 41

Metronet envisages railway through Canning Vale

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 42

Additional platform at Cockburn

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 43

Armadale Road Duplication Dan Franklin

4:23

Work started this week – ends late 2019

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 44

Access to Liddelow will be easier

• including rat runners

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 45

Will Treeby residents use Liddelow to avoid the Freeway?

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 46

Treeby District Structure Plan Liddelow

Dangerous roadworks alignment takes us back 6 years

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 47

How can cyclists get 1.5 metre clearance?

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 48

People will die in Main Roads’ dangerous roadworks

• No cyclists along length of roadworks
• No right turns at Liddelow Road junction

– In nor Out – Concrete bollards to prevent turning

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 49

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 50

What shall we resolve?

• Motion:

– The BRG requests Main Roads WA to:

• Review the safety of pedal cyclists along the length of the

Armadale Road works

• At the junction of Armadale Road and Liddelow Road for

the duration of the roadworks, either – Erect concrete bollards in the centre of Armadale Road to prevent right turns to and from Liddelow Road; or – Install temporary traffic lights

• Vote

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 51

Cockburn’s Local Planning Policies Ian Thurston

4:27

Cockburn wants to set its planning vision for the coming decade

Physical Features and Natural Resource Management Water Management Population and Housing Economy and Employment Retail and Commerce Tourism and Visitors Recreation and Open Space Community Facilities Cultural Heritage Urban Design and Local Character Rural Land Use Subdivision and Development Traffic and Transport Infrastructure Opportunities for and constraints

• n development

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 52

• Seeking public comment on 13 policies
• Submissions by 30 March

Some policies are worrying - 1

• Ensure planning facilitates a desirable living

environment

– So what happens to Jandakot and Treeby? – How will they protect Banjup?

• Ensuring the expectation of landowners within

rural areas matches the strategic intent of … the natural landscapes of the Resource zone to prosper

– Hypocrisy – they let the “strategic intent” of Jandakot be damaged

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 53

Some policies are worrying - 2

• Preventing any further subdivision within the

Resource zone

– Existing landowners have to put up with previous poor planning

• Roads like Jandakot Road and Liddlelow Road

should be planned for upgrading to reflect their higher order functions

– What “higher order functions” for Liddelow?

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 54

In 2015, Council resolved to minimise traffic on Liddelow

COUNCIL DECISION – 11 June 2015 MOVED Clr S Portelli SECONDED Deputy Mayor C Reeve-Fowkes that (1) support the reclassification of Liddelow Road and Gibbs Road to a Local Distributor Road; (2) investigate traffic design measures to minimise heavy vehicle traffic and speed controls on Liddelow and Beenyup Roads; and (3) maintain the classification of Beenyup Road as an Access Road.

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 55

CARRIED 8/0

Yet again, officers are ignoring or misleading Councillors

• How can upgrading Liddelow Road

… facilitate a desirable living environment? … natural landscapes of the Resource zone to prosper?

• We need more traffic calming, not upgrading

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 56

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 57

What shall we resolve?

• Motion:

– The BRG requests the Council of the City

• f Cockburn to reaffirm the classification of

Liddelow Road and to install further traffic calming measures

• Vote

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 58

How Can We Preserve Banjup’s Rural Amenity? Ian Thurston

4:42

Likely Banjup will remain Rural until it is not

• Small sub-divisions unlikely
• Big areas most likely

– eg Aubin Grove, Honeywood

• Either we will be Arthur or be Martha

– We won’t be both – Unless the planners white ant us

• eg Jandakot, Treeby

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 59

If the planners neglect us, our Rural Amenity will be nibbled away

• Look what

happened to Jandakot

• Banjup needs

explicit protection from encroachment

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 60

Should Cockburn’s planning policies include these requirements for Banjup?

• Any adjacent urban developments to have 200 metre

buffer with “Resource Zone”

• Resist City of Armadale proposals for adjacent urban

developments

– Cockburn just did for Mandogalup in Kwinana – 200 metre buffer

• Stop our roads becoming rat runs

– Traffic calming on Liddelow and Beenyup

• Ensure better compliance of land uses
• Plant street trees extensively

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 61

What else?

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 62

What shall we resolve?

• Motion:

– The BRG requests the City of Cockburn to implement specific planning and

• perational policies to protect and preserve

the rural amenity of Banjup over the coming decade

• Vote

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 63

Weeds and Verges and Firebreaks Dan Franklin

4:55

Caltrops are infesting our verges and properties

• Report to Cockburn
• Control with

glyphosate (Roundup)

• Also controls

doublegee

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 64

Cockburn is not keeping verges clear …

Solomon Road by Calleya

• Uncleared verges are

a fire hazard

• Can block evacuation

routes

• Phone Cockburn to

report

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 65

… but they are inspecting fire breaks

• Be aware !!

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 66

11 March 2018 Banjup Residents Group 67
