3 February 2014 – Cockburn’s biggest civil emergency 500 hectares burned, 6 homes damaged

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 12

Firefighters saved hundreds of homes

Banjup Residents Group 13

Banjup was black and ash

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 14

What do we want done to minimise fire risks?

• Deter arsonists of any age
• Coordinated burning of fuel loads

– Council reserves (Cockburn, Armadale, and Kwinana) – Crown land

• Encourage fuel reduction on private properties

– Fire permits issued promptly / easily – Counsel owners with high fuel loads

• Firebreaks kept clear all fire season
• Street-by-street briefings on fire risk management

throughout the year

• Fire briefing packs for new owners

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 15

Any more?

Will the Fire Station be ready for this season?

• Why did we need a new station?
• Why was it not rebuilt during the winter?
• When will it become active?
• What happens in the meantime?
• What benefits will arise from the new station?
• Michael Emery will advise.

3 times more traffic forecast for Banjup

• 430 households in Banjup with 40 in Gutteridge
• 7 trips per day per household (WAPC rate)
• 2,700 local vehicles per day across Banjup’s roads
• 18,500 vehicles will use Liddelow and Beenyup in

2021

• 15,800 vehicles will pass through Banjup daily in

2021

– As many as use Jandakot Road now – 10% will be big trucks

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 37

Banjup’s future is dual carriageways

• By 2031, Liddelow

and Beenyup will need to be dual carriageway

• How can Banjup

remain rural if we are cut through by highways?

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 38

Will Cockburn Council protect Banjup?

• or will Banjup go like Jandakot and Treeby?
• Liddelow and Beenyup are roads to nowhere

– Mostly used by rat-runners outside Cockburn

• Freeway and Nicholson provided by State government

– Why should Cockburn service other area’s ratepayers?

• No obligations in Local Govt Act to provide roads
• Local Govt must not:

– “Duplicate services provided by the State”

• Section 3.18 Local Govt Act
• Cockburn Councillors can protect Banjup

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 39

Cockburn’s engineers just committed to “assess traffic controls” in Banjup

• Engineers resisted controls in 2015
• Councillors over-ruled them

– Roundabout at Gibbs built

• Engineers imply no more traffic controls

warranted

– But have commissioned consultants to review

• Arup forecasts 3 x more traffic in Banjup in 2021

– As busy as Jandakot Road

• What will Cockburn’s consultants conclude?

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 40

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 41

What shall we resolve?

• Motion:

– The BRG requests Councillors of the City

• f Cockburn to direct officers to implement

measures that will significantly discourage cars and trucks from increasing their use of Banjup’s roads

• Vote

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 42

How can big sand trucks be deterred from our roads? Ian Thurston

3:50

You don’t build a monster roundabout

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 43

21 metres 23 metres

• Why was it designed for 19 metre trucks?
• Why not 12 metre delivery trucks?
• What was the traffic study that justified the

design?

As big as the roundabout at the Airport

This is not what Cockburn Council decided in June 2015 – to quote:

• Investigate traffic design measures to minimise heavy

vehicle traffic and speed controls on Liddelow and Beenyup Roads

• Council needs to minimise the adverse impact on the

amenity of life for the residents in [Banjup, Aubin Grove and Atwell]

• Council should accept it has a role to play to encourage

the commercial deliveries to the most appropriate roads by road design and speed control measures

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 44

Wanneroo and Armadale build 13 metre roundabouts in new areas

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 45

Alkimos 13 metres Harrisdale

20 metre roundabouts for dual carriageways

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 46

What shall we resolve?

• Motion:

– The BRG requests Councillors of the City

• f Cockburn to direct officers to work

closely with Banjup residents in the design

• f measures in support of Council’s

decision of June 2015

• Vote

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 47

Do we still need the rumble strips

• n Gibbs Road?

Neil Raine

4:00

Rumble Strips – Do we still need them?

• Installed in September 2012

after a fatal accident

– 2 sets – east and west of Gibbs / Liddelow intersection

• Large, well-lit roundabout

now installed

• Do we still need them?

– Dangerous

• Drivers go on wrong side of road

– Noisy

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 48

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 49

What shall we resolve?

• Motion:

– The BRG requests the City of Cockburn to remove the rumble strips on Gibbs Road

• Vote

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 50

What do we want to see in Cockburn’s Local Planning Policies? Neil Raine

4:10

Cockburn saw wide range of “burning issues” at Banjup meeting of 15 September …

• Divergence of views around zoning changes and

subdivision.

– Some want the option to subdivide to 2.5, 2.0 or 1.0 acre lots. – Support to keep 5 acres as the minimum block

• Participants also noted the pressures … called for

protection of the boundaries of Banjup and Treeby from subdivision pressure.

• Road planning, road uses and the impacts of traffic with

concerns around speeding, noise, heavy vehicle usage, the use of rat runs and through traffic.

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 51

… and

• Fire protection:

– reduction of fuel loads on both private properties and in reserves, controlled burning.

• Natural resource management is highlighted, with issues

including Flinders Wattle strangling bushland, more weed control needed and more restrictions on land clearing and land degradation.

• Other concerns raised in common include mobile phone

and internet coverage (with more thoughtful placement

• f mobile phone towers) and the lack of Council support,

projects or resources for the Banjup area.

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 52

Cockburn saw wide range of “burning issues” at Jandakot Treeby meeting of 15 September …

• Rezoning due to being surrounded by industrial use, housing

and particularly due to lost rural amenity and lost lifestyle; calls for rezoning to rural residential or urban, and for the ability to subdivide properties

• Responses about retaining as rural land and not allowing

subdivision

• Concerns around loss of amenity from Jandakot Airport due to

noise, lower flying and larger aircraft

• Strong concerns re traffic congestion, rat runs, non-existent

traffic management and road safety

• Lack of street lights, footpaths, drainage and road curbing;

24 February 2019 Banjup Residents Group 53

… and

• Specific concerns around the widening of

Jandakot Road and fair compensation for resumed land;

• Frustration around the true status of the water

mound, double standards, changing standards and inconsistent development approvals;

• Frustration around the uncertainty of what will

happen as a result of the Planning Investigation and the state of limbo in the meantime.
