10/17.2.0 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

Five (5) people in the gallery.

In accordance with Section 31(1) of the Local Government (Meeting Procedures) Regulations 2005 the following
questions were submitted in writing prior to the Council Meeting.

10/17.2.1 Grants Lagoon - Mr J Lambert, Binalong Bay

I have been told that a person has been prosecuted over the opening of Grants Lagoon.

I believe this lagoon should be opened each year maybe November or early December to clean the
rotting kelp which is a disgrace in the most eastern end of the lagoon, this kelp is washed into the
lagoon during big seas and just rots down to a mush.

By opening the lagoon each year it would also clean out any waste water that may have seeped
into the lagoon, as well I believe the lagoon on the most eastern end has to have something done
about it urgently, for health reasons alone.

I am aware that the water in the lagoon is tested, I am not sure where these tests are taken from
but I suggest the test be taken from the most eastern end so a true reading can be done where
most people mainly children play and swim.

Can Council do the job and clean the lagoon out?

Can Council inquire as to how the lagoon can be opened annually?

Reply

The only time Council gets involved in the opening of barways is when there is a threat to
infrastructure which Council is responsible for eg flooding of roads, damage to bridges or jetties.

Council does not have any infrastructure that is affected by the waters of Grants Lagoon and
therefore this matter is governed by Parks & Wildlife Services and all concerns should be directed
to them.

10/17.2.2 Binalong Bay Beach / Grants Lagoon - Mr P Nichols, Binalong Bay

My wife and I live not far from the northern end of Binalong Bay beach and we walk the beach
most days of the week all year.

When Grants Lagoon, Binalong Bay was dug out, November 2016, it took many tons of sand off
the beach just when the tourist season was beginning. Most tourists could not cross the water
channel when the tide went in or out, stopping them from walking along our world renowned
beach. It was made difficult for people walking from the northern end of the beach to access the
restaurant at Binalong Bay. Locals had difficulty walking the length of the beach from the
southern to the northern end. The Lagoon was open for some months.

| 10/17.2.1 Grants Lagoon - Mr J Lambert, Binalong Bay 6


Contrary to what is believed by some residents, microbiological testing by Council actually shows
at no time did samples taken from Grants Lagoon show bacteria levels exceeding Recreational
Water Quality Guidelines. In fact, the bacteria levels for December 2016 and January 2017 about a
month after Grants Lagoon was opened to the sea are higher than previously recorded when the
Lagoon was closed. The testing results for the past three (3) summers are attached.

The only risk to roads that I am aware of from Grants Lagoon is when the lagoon is dug out. The
channel caused by the lagoon flowing in and out has begun to erode the bank just west of the
main beach car park not that many metres from the road a small amount of vegetation has been
undermined.

Much of the seaweed washed in by winter storms remained in the lagoon after it was breached.

Will the Council take note of these issues and let Parks and Wildlife criteria for opening Grants
Lagoon remain as they are?

Reply

The only time Council gets involved in the opening of barways is when there is a threat to
infrastructure which Council is responsible for eg flooding of roads, damage to bridges or jetties.

Park & Wildlife Service (PWS) have established protocols for opening of lagoons and barways, any
change is a matter ultimately controlled by PWS.

CLOSE ASSOCIATE

10/17.8.0 NOTICES OF MOTION


10/17.8.1 Notice of Motion Coal Reserves in the Municipality Clr J Tucker

MOTION:

A report is sought providing advice in accordance with the requirements of Section 65 of the Local
Government Act 1993 for the information of Council at a future meeting, and consider any advice
as required from relevant State Agencies:

That Council in acknowledging the huge coal reserves in the Municipality of Break O'Day requests
Council officers to fully investigate the potential of harnessing the economic potential of
developing this resource for the benefit of job creation and economic development in the
Municipality and report back to the first Council meeting in 2018.

SUBMISSION IN SUPPORT OF MOTION:

Break O'Day Council needs to be a forward thinking Council.

Break O'Day is of a great need of economic development and job creation.

We as a Council need to look at every opportunity within this community, and drive things to
make them happen.

| 10/17.8.1 Notice of Motion Coal Reserves in the Municipality Clr J Tucker 12


DISCUSSION:

- Clr McGuinness stated that philosophically he is opposed to coal as power generation in


the current regime. However he is very aware that the Fingal Valley relies on coal. Clr
McGuinness stated that he is very supportive of further work within the mineral area.
- Clr Wright stated that it is very important that we protect the jobs that are currently in the
Fingal Valley however in 2013 Hardrock were approved for a mining lease with 650 jobs
promised, has this happened? If the resources were there this would be viable and
happening now.
- Clr LeFevre stated that in light of the coal reserves that are there and which are a major
asset for us, we should ask the Government to investigate all aspects of coal production.
Coal is there and Break ODay is crying out for employment and population growth. The
motion is about the potential wellbeing of the community.
- Clr Drummond stated that she agrees with Clr McGuinness regarding his philosophical
point and Clr Wright regarding the other licence where nothing has happened. Clr
Drummond believes we could be leader in looking at alternative power for the area as well
as she believes greatly in job creation but doesnt believe this is an area we should be
heading as a Council.
- Clr J Tucker stated that this motion is to investigate, we are asking for them to look at the
best options there. Hardrock didnt go ahead which is a big disappointment. There are
also other minerals that could be looked at as well, we need to look at all of these things.
- Clr Osborne stated that we owe it to our constituents to look at every opportunity.

10/17.8.2 Notice of Motion Free Green Waste Disposal Clr J Drummond

MOTION:

A report is sought providing advice in accordance with the requirements of Section 65 of the Local
Government Act 1993 for the information of Council at a future meeting, and consider any advice
as required from relevant State Agencies:

That Council extend the free green waste days to all year-round at all waste disposal sites that are
set up to accept green waste.

SUBMISSION IN SUPPORT OF MOTION:

Following a recent NRM Special Committee Meeting I request that Council act on a
recommendation from that Committee.

The meeting noted that the free green waste days at Councils waste management sites assists
greatly in mitigating against illegal dumping of green waste into bushland. The meeting considered
that an expansion of free green waste service would be valuable. The extension of free green
waste days to all year-round, would assist in reducing the fuel load with regard to increased bush
fire risk and also in reducing of spreading of weeds into bushland.

This is a sentiment which I hear echoed by the community quite frequently. I believe it would
assist in reducing potential fire hazards and in weed management in the municipality, whilst
encouraging greater yard maintenance by residents, knowing that they could dispose of green
waste freely, rather than allowing large piles of green waste to sit around in residential gardens
until free waste disposal comes around, or burning off and causing potential fire hazards close to
their own homes.

DISCUSSION:

- Clr J Tucker stated that he believes that this is quite a good motion, what is the difference
with having it all year round unless there is a great cost. See this as reducing fuel load and
weeds.
- Clr Drummond stated that by reducing weed spread in the municipality as well as fuel load
that this should not be a huge cost to Council.

| 10/17.8.2 Notice of Motion Free Green Waste Disposal Clr J Drummond 14


COUNCIL DECISION:

10/17.8.2.219 Moved: Clr J Drummond / Seconded: Clr J Tucker

A report is sought providing advice in accordance with the requirements of Section 65 of the Local
Government Act 1993 for the information of Council at a future meeting, and consider any advice
as required from relevant State Agencies:

That Council extend the free green waste days to all year-round at all waste disposal sites that are
set up to accept green waste.

CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY

10/17.8.3 Notice of Motion Breaching the Barways at the Entrance to our


Coastal Lagoons Clr G McGuinness

MOTION:

A report is sought providing advice in accordance with the requirements of Section 65 of the Local
Government Act 1993 for the information of Council at a future meeting, and consider any advice
as required from relevant State Agencies:

That Council re-visit a previous motion with regard to breaching the bar ways at the entrance to
our coastal lagoons, by rewriting to Parks with renewed concerns. Correspondence from Parks
previously spoke of two (2) trigger points.

1. Health risks posed by elevated levels of coliform bacteria.


2. Risks to infrastructure such as roads.

SUBMISSION IN SUPPORT OF MOTION:

Parks have not mentioned aesthetics. On occasions much seaweed is washed into the lagoons in
winter storms. This weed progressively rots, causing a stench and discolouration of the lagoon
water. This is a turnoff for our tourism industry and many locals feel strongly that something
should be done. In years gone by the breaching was a community event carried out by large
number of people. Apparently it is now illegal and a couple of relative newcomers to our
community are now facing prosecution and are awaiting their day in court.

The last time Grants Lagoon in Binalong Bay, was breached, the mouth remained opened for a
number of weeks. The water colour became quite inviting and a large number of fish of many
varieties, moved in. It is interesting to note that the nest of a pair of hooded plovers that had been
inundated by the lagoon, was re-established when the level receded.

| 10/17.8.3Notice of Motion Breaching the Barways at the Entrance to our Coastal Lagoons Clr G 15
McGuinness
DISCUSSION:

- Clr McGuinness tabled a report from NRM to all Councillors and drew attention to page 62
that an official opening of the lagoon each year has contributed to stability of the lagoon.
Clr McGuinness stated that he would prefer that Parks & Wildlife Services or Council did
this every year to protect the fore dune.
- Clr LeFevre stated that it is about being proactive not reactive. Open the lagoons after the
November long weekend and have them beautiful and clean by Christmas, so there is no
disease and plenty of fish back in there for the summer.
- Clr Drummond stated that it is her opinion that it is Parks & Wildlife Services that has
authority over lagoons and barways. The report is eight (8) years old and would like to see
something with a more current status.
- Clr Wright stated that she agrees with Clr Drummond that it is Parks & Wildlife Services
decision, we have had this bought forward before, it is for them to decide and discuss and
not the place of Council.
- Clr LeFevre stated that in light of Parks & Wildlife Services response last time that it could
interfere with the shorebirds, if it was done by Parks & Wildlife Services or Council the
shorebirds could be detoured and protected. Clr LeFevre thought Parks & Wildlife Services
would favour it being a controlled opening rather than done on its own or in the middle of
the night where the shorebird impact is not controlled.
- Clr McGuinness stated that he thinks Parks & Wildlife Services have overlooked other parts,
particularly with the aesthetics.

10/17.8.4 Notice of Motion Design Foreshore Access Features Architectural
Trail Clr G McGuinness

MOTION:

A report is sought providing advice in accordance with the requirements of Section 65 of the Local
Government Act 1993 for the information of Council at a future meeting, and consider any advice
as required from relevant State Agencies:

a. That the Break ODay Council (BODC) liaise with the Glamorgan Spring Bay Council (GSBC) with
regard to their project of engaging the Monash University architecture school to design
foreshore access features such as lookouts, paths, seating and toilets which together make up
an architecture trail from south to north. GSBC have commenced the project by approving the
"loo with a view" at Swansea.

b. That we investigate funding avenues in order to carry out a similar (long term) project in Break
ODay, so that the whole project forms a part of the Great Eastern Drive experience.

c. That we request Ross Brewin of Monash University to address Break ODay Council in a manner
similar to his talk to East Coast Tourism. This to take place as soon as he is available for a
workshop.

SUBMISSION IN SUPPORT OF MOTION:

Glamorgan Spring Bay Council has commenced a long term program with some similarities to a
project in Norway. The attraction is the unique architecture of simple utilities which is not only
attractive but extremely functional and environmentally friendly.

DISCUSSION:

- Clr McGuinness stated that he would like to see this extended along the whole Great
Eastern Drive (GED). This gives tourists the opportunity to view our municipality with
functionality as well as aesthetics. People come to look at functional, environmentally
friendly things. There is cost involved, probably double but would be something for the
future.

10/17.8.5 Notice of Motion Council Takeover Staff and Infrastructure of Parks


& Wildlife in our Regional Area Clr J Tucker

MOTION:

A report is sought providing advice in accordance with the requirements of Section 65 of the Local
Government Act 1993 for the information of Council at a future meeting, and consider any advice
as required from relevant State Agencies:

Break ODay Council to write a letter to the Minister asking if the Government could look at
Council taking over staff and infrastructure of Parks & Wildlife Services (PWS) in our regional area.

Included in the letter we could outline some examples of cost savings and better utilisation of
resources.

It would also need to be stated in the letter that Council would not want to manage the wildlife
section of Parks & Wildlife Services.

SUBMISSION IN SUPPORT OF MOTION:

There is a huge opportunity to better utilise the resources of Parks & Wildlife Services and Council
by amalgamating the two (2) areas as mentioned above in the motion.

| 10/17.8.5Notice of Motion Council Takeover Staff and Infrastructure of Parks & Wildlife in our 18
Regional Area Clr J Tucker
DISCUSSION:

- Clr J Tucker stated that our Parks & Wildlife Service infrastructure is not being properly
maintained. Our own Council staff could have undertaken work in some Parks & Wildlife
Services areas, ie Policemans Point Council staff were already up there grading Ansons Bay
Road and they could have kept grading into Policemans Point. There was probably
approximately 50 metres of road to be undertaken in Parks & Wildlife Services area. Clr J
Tucker stated that he thinks there are some cost efficiencies, and utilising staff and
resources from both Council and Parks & Wildlife Services. Clr J Tucker stated that he
doesnt think we need anything to do with the wildlife side.
- Clr Wright stated that she doesnt think you can separate Parks & Wildlife as it is a package.
The biggest issue is funding, where is this going to be funded from, staff expenses, etc. Are
we going to increase rates to cover the cost?
- Clr McGuinness stated that whilst he agrees with some of the sentiment behind the
motion, Council should have a very intense discussion at a Council Workshop prior to
coming back to Council.
- Clr Drummond stated that she has concerns regarding the amount of staff resources that
would be utilised for investigations for reports to come back to Council for some of these
motions that are fairly clear cut
- Clr LeFevre stated that the motion on face value worried him, he was thinking that it would
be seen that we wanted to take over elements of Parks & Wildlife Services. Clr LeFevre
stated that we hear that Parks & Wildlife Services are doing a good job considering staff cut
backs, and they are struggling due to being totally underfunded. Clr LeFevre stated that he
thinks that it needs to be really teased out at a workshop.
- Clr J Tucker stated that the Wildlife section is part of a branch within DPIPWE.

Councillor must not offer an argument or opinion, draw any inference or make any imputations except so far as may be necessary to
explain the question.

The Chairperson must not permit any debate of a Question without Notice or its answer.

10/17.10.1 Scamander Playground - Clr M Osborne

When we looked at the playground at Scamander, have we looked at risk management issues with
the playground not being fenced being that it is so close to the water?

Reply

An informal risk assessment was undertaken incorporating the guidelines provided by Councils
insurer and on that basis it was determined that fencing is not required in the short term.

with Grant Akesson from Primary Health Tasmania (PHT) for an update regarding Break O'Day
being selected as one (1) of the five (5) Tasmanian sites for the Commonwealth funded Suicide
Prevention Trial.

Approximately $3 million will be provided in total for the project to be shared amongst the five
(5) sites as PHT identifies.

Whilst the format and details of the trial are sketchy at this stage we do know it runs from the
beginning of 2018 to mid 2019.

Break O'Day has been asked to focus the trial on men in the 40-64 age range and men and
women 65 and older. As PHT move forward with the project we will be advocating for
improvements in services for all age groups, especially our youth.

On Wednesday 25 October we have another meeting where no doubt more information will be
forthcoming.

Robert (Red) Parsons and Chris Scott being the first small community members to receive
