1. Rous Water 19 August 2015
Cr Dey advised Council:
At a workshop prior to the meeting,
consultants Russell Beatty and Trevor Ingram of Jacobs Group (previously SKM)
outlined progress on the groundwater investigation taking place over three
years under Rous’s Future Water Strategy. The investigation has examined
14 potential aquifers in the region, reducing them so far to five preferred
sites. Those will be further examined, including for factors like
proximity to consumers and to the Rous network. The aim is to lay out a
drilling program, for some of the sites.
Agenda items included discussion on
developer charges for granny flats. Rous resolved to use the methodology
used by Lismore and Ballina Councils, ie zero increase in consumption and hence
zero charge. Once adequate data has been collected (by constituent
Councils) Rous will consider the impact of this policy. Rous is also to
review its Development Servicing Plans to ensure that the methods by which
Council’s can discount s64 charges is clear.
Sales have increased lately at Perradenya.
If all goes well, Rous may eventually recoup its costs for this multi-decade
real estate venture or at least minimise its losses. My view is that the
development game is not a good one for a public authority.
The sodium fluoride to be dosed by
Rous comes from Belgium and the sodium silico-fluoride from China.
