CONFLICT OF INTERESTS

What is a “Conflict of Interests” - A conflict of interests can be of two types:

Pecuniary - an interest that a person has in a matter because of a reasonable likelihood or expectation of appreciable financial gain or loss to the person or another person with whom the person is associated.

Non-pecuniary – a private or personal interest that a Council official has that does not amount to a pecuniary interest as defined in the Code of Conduct for Councillors (eg. A friendship, membership of an association, society or trade union or involvement or interest in an activity and may include an interest of a financial nature).

Remoteness – a person does not have a pecuniary interest in a matter if the interest is so remote or insignificant that it could not reasonably be regarded as likely to influence any decision the person might make in relation to a matter or if the interest is of a kind specified in the Code of Conduct for Councillors.

Who has a Pecuniary Interest? - a person has a pecuniary interest in a matter if the pecuniary interest is the interest of the person, or another person with whom the person is associated (see below).

Relatives, Partners - a person is taken to have a pecuniary interest in a matter if:

·                The person’s spouse or de facto partner or a relative of the person has a pecuniary interest in the matter, or

·                The person, or a nominee, partners or employer of the person, is a member of a company or other body that has a pecuniary interest in the matter.

N.B. “Relative”, in relation to a person means any of the following:

(a)  the parent, grandparent, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, lineal descends or adopted child of the person or of the person’s spouse;

(b)  the spouse or de facto partners of the person or of a person referred to in paragraph (a)

No Interest in the Matter - however, a person is not taken to have a pecuniary interest in a matter:

·                If the person is unaware of the relevant pecuniary interest of the spouse, de facto partner, relative or company or other body, or

·                Just because the person is a member of, or is employed by, the Council.

·                Just because the person is a member of, or a delegate of the Council to, a company or other body that has a pecuniary interest in the matter provided that the person has no beneficial interest in any shares of the company or body.

Disclosure and participation in meetings

·                A Councillor or a member of a Council Committee who has a pecuniary interest in any matter with which the Council is concerned and who is present at a meeting of the Council or Committee at which the matter is being considered must disclose the nature of the interest to the meeting as soon as practicable.

·                The Councillor or member must not be present at, or in sight of, the meeting of the Council or Committee:

(a)     at any time during which the matter is being considered or discussed by the Council or Committee, or

(b)     at any time during which the Council or Committee is voting on any question in relation to the matter.

No Knowledge - a person does not breach this Clause if the person did not know and could not reasonably be expected to have known that the matter under consideration at the meeting was a matter in which he or she had a pecuniary interest.

Non-pecuniary Interests - Must be disclosed in meetings.

There are a broad range of options available for managing conflicts & the option chosen will depend on an assessment of the circumstances of the matter, the nature of the interest and the significance of the issue being dealt with.  Non-pecuniary conflicts of interests must be dealt with in at least one of the following ways:

·                It may be appropriate that no action be taken where the potential for conflict is minimal.  However, Councillors should consider providing an explanation of why they consider a conflict does not exist.

·                Limit involvement if practical (eg. Participate in discussion but not in decision making or vice-versa).  Care needs to be taken when exercising this option.

·                Remove the source of the conflict (eg. Relinquishing or divesting the personal interest that creates the conflict)

·                Have no involvement by absenting yourself from and not taking part in any debate or voting on the issue as of the provisions in the Code of Conduct (particularly if you have a significant non-pecuniary interest)

Committee members are reminded that they should declare and manage all conflicts of interest in respect of any matter on this Agenda, in accordance with the Code of Conduct.

RECORDING OF VOTING ON PLANNING MATTERS

Clause 375A of the Local Government Act 1993 – Recording of voting on planning matters

(1)  In this section, planning decision means a decision made in the exercise of a function of a council under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979:

(a)  including a decision relating to a development application, an environmental planning instrument, a development control plan or a development contribution plan under that Act, but

(b)  not including the making of an order under that Act.

(2)  The general manager is required to keep a register containing, for each planning decision made at a meeting of the council or a council committee, the names of the councillors who supported the decision and the names of any councillors who opposed (or are taken to have opposed) the decision.

(3)  For the purpose of maintaining the register, a division is required to be called whenever a motion for a planning decision is put at a meeting of the council or a council committee.

(4)  Each decision recorded in the register is to be described in the register or identified in a manner that enables the description to be obtained from another publicly available document and is to include the information required by the regulations.

(5)  This section extends to a meeting that is closed to the public.

OATH AND AFFIRMATION FOR COUNCILLORS

Councillors are reminded of the oath of office or affirmation of office made at or before their first meeting of the council in accordance with Clause 233A of the Local Government Act 1993. This includes undertaking the duties of the office of councillor in the best interests of the people of Byron Shire and the Byron Shire Council and faithfully and impartially carrying out the functions, powers, authorities and discretions vested under the Act or any other Act to the best of one’s ability and judgment.

Report

Following site analysis, consultation and workshops held in 2023, Council have developed a Draft Concept Design for Burringbar Street, Mullumbimby.

The Concept Design looks at ways to make Burringbar Street more:

·    Accessible

·    Safe for pedestrians

·    Vibrant

·    Enjoyable.

The proposed changes are in line with the number one priority project coming out of the Council adopted ‘Our Mullumbimby Master Plan’.

Key changes to Burringbar Street proposed in this design include:

·    Widen existing footpaths from 3.5m to 5.1m to improve access and allow for afresco dining and public seating.

·    Raised 10km/hr shared zone at Burringbar and Stuart Street intersection where people have priority to cross in any direction.

·    Additional pedestrian crossings at Dalley Street and adjacent to laneways.

·    Station Street Intersection priority change.

·    Informal pedestrian crossings across Burringbar Street near Studal Lane and McGoughans Lane.

·    Remove dedicated cycle lanes on Burringbar Street and integrate cyclists within the vehicle lanes, guiding cyclists to claim the lane.

·    Net loss of car parks in project area is kept to a minimum (10)

·    Retain existing 60-degree angled carparking to both sides of the street and include new loading, kiss and ride, taxi and bus stop bays. Spaces designed to minimise overhang impact on footpath without the use of wheel stops.

·    Relocate taxi zone on Stuart Street to Burringbar Street and replace with angled parking.

·    Relocate bus stop zone pending discussions with Transport NSW and bus companies.

·    Additional mobility parking spaces increased from 3 to 4.

·    Loading bays added.

The Draft Concept Design is provided at Attachment 1 (E2024/16870) and shown on the following page.

Further information on the site analysis, consultation and design work done to date is contained in the Exhibition Report provided at Attachment 2 (E2024/3881).

The following images present the current street section and the proposed sections for the length of Burringbar Street and the Burringbar Street/Stuart Street intersection (proposed 10km Shared Zone).

 

Next steps

Following the public exhibition period (February 26 – March 24, 2024), a final Concept Design will be developed.

The aim is present a final Concept Design to Council for endorsement by June 2024.

Report Author:                   Samuel Frumpui, Manager Works

Christopher Soulsby, A/ Manager Assets & Major Projects

File No:                                 I2024/457

Summary:

This report provides updates on several Infrastructure Services Projects related to Moving Byron Committee matters.

  

 

 

RECOMMENDATION:

That the Moving Byron Committee notes the report.

 

 

 


 

Report

This report will provide updates on the following Infrastructure Services projects:

1.   M1/MR545

2.   Kolora Way

3.   New Brighton Parking

4.   Brunswick Heads Parking

5.   Mullum Cycleway

6.   Rail Trail/Multi Use of the Corridor

7.   TfNSW Workshop - North Coast Customer Journey Resilience Plans

8.   RA Workshop – Regional Evacuation Routes

1. M1/MR545

Under the Roads Reclassification Review and Transfer Program announced in February 2019 staff had made an application to the transfer MR545 from a regional road under Council control to a State Road under the control of Transport for NSW. This application was lodged in February 2022 and Council has not received formal notification that this application has been declined. As the NSW budget for this program was cut with the change of Government the transfer is unlikely to proceed in the near future. 

Council working with Transport for NSW had prepared a submission to Infrastructure Australia to upgrade the M1 interchange and MR545. Infrastructure Australia identify this project as being in “Early Stage 1” of development. A link to the project is provided below:

M1 Pacific Motorway: Byron Bay interchange capacity | Infrastructure Australia

Work on this project has been delayed due to the Natural Disasters of 2022. Transport for NSW and Council recommenced discussions in March 2023 on an updated options study based on further traffic modelling.

Subject to NSW Government Budget allocation stakeholder engagement and consultation may proceed in 2024/25.

2. Kolora Way

A traffic control plan has been prepared to implement a trial single direction bridge and path across the current bridge as per Council resolution. A comms plans for the implementation on the trial is now being prepared prior to its implementation on site.

3. New Brighton Parking

Currently out to consultation and will be reported to Council once the outcomes have been reviewed.

4. Brunswick Heads Parking

The pay scheme is programmed to be operation by September 2024. Consultant Bitzios is currently preparing detailed project delivery plans, comms plan, layout plan for parking area, time limits and meter locations.

5. Mullumbimby to Brunswick Heads Cycleway

The topographic survey for the length of the route is complete. The design contract for an off road separated cycleway is now seeking quotations from suitable design consultants as part of the design for the upgrade of McAuleys Lane intersection and the ‘betterment’ project for Mullumbiby Road.

The construction phase is yet to be funded.

6. Rail Trail/Multi Use of the Corridor

Council is preparing a grant application under the Australian Government Regional Precincts Partnership Fund Stream 2 Construction for a design and construct (D&C) contract build a rail trail from Mullumbimby to Crabbes Creek.  This application will be in partnership with Lismore City Council and Tweed Shire Council.

Council is preparing a second grant application under the Australian Government Regional Precincts Partnership Fund Stream 1 Planning for the design and approval of the rail trail for the full length of the licenced areas in Byron Shire.

Council has obtained licences from Transport for NSW via UGL Rail from Byron Bay to Booyong and from Mullumbimby to Byron Bay for survey and investigation.  Council is applying for a licence from Mullumbimby north to the shire boundary for survey and investigation.

Council has engaged a consultant to undertake the vegetation and threatened species investigations between Mullumbimby and Byron Bay. Once the staff review of this report is complete the outcomes will be reported to Council.

7. TfNSW Workshop - North Coast Customer Journey Resilience Plans

In March 2024 Council met with Transport for NSW to develop the information requirements to feed into the Network Resilience Program. Transport is working with other State government agencies and local Councils to understand the vulnerability and potential impact for future natural disasters, so that Transport for NSW may invest or further enhance its preparedness into the future.

8. RA Workshop – Regional Evacuation Routes

The Reconstruction Authority met with Council staff as part of a project initiation to set the parameters for the investigations into evacuation routes and the upgrades required to ensure the safe an effective evacuation or shelter in place options for isolated communities.

Report

This report refers to Operation Plan action 5.1.3.6 and Council resolution 23-422.

Operation Plan action 5.1.3.6

Incorporate the Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan and Bike Plan into the Active Transport Action Plan through community consultation and Council consideration.

Output measure being; Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan and Bike Plan combined into Active Transport Action Plan, consult with community and draft presented to Council.

Council resolution 23-422

That Council:

1.      Notes that the Active Transport Plan is still being drafted, will be integrated with previous other transport plan and it references actions in the Moving Byron strategy and will soon be recommended for public exhibition.

2.      Notes that the northern route currently prioritised for the Mullumbimby to Brunswick Heads Cycleway is unlikely to proceed in the near term and that the southern route, or variations thereof, will form part of the new Active Transport plan.

3.      Ensures that Planning Agreements with potential future developers in the Saddle Road area consider incorporating the bike path through the development/s and consider design and contributions (including Special Infrastructure Contributions) supporting the route in part 2 above.

4.      Ensures that Moving Byron Committee receive further report at its next meeting to further consider the draft Active Transport Plan.

Staff have now incorporated the Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan (PAMP) and Bike Plan into the one Active Transport Action Plan. The draft document is provided at attachment 1 and project list at attachment 2.

The Active Transport Plan includes references to the Moving Byron Strategy as well as other relevant transport documents.  The Plan is based on the Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan (PAMP) and the Bike Plan documentation with the following updates:

•        Community Consultation section updated to reflect current consultation.

•        Crash data updated to last 5 years (i.e. 2018 to 2022).

•        Demographic data based on 2022 statistics.

•        Addition of key projects that have been completed since 2019 such as the Broken Head Rd cycleway.

•        New sub-prioritisation for Priority A paths (i.e. A1, A2, A3, etc).

Active Transport Maps

Council staff are combining the PAMP and Bike Plan online mapping into a format suitable for an online community survey during May.  The current PAMP and Bike Plan maps can already be accessed on Council’s website as follows:

The following will be included in the updated mapping:

·    completed projects shown as line now being existing paths (see list below)

·    projects underway (see list below)

·    projects ready for construction (see list below)

·    projects proposed (refer Attachment 2)

·    an off-road separated shared path between Mullumbimby to Brunswick Heads cycleway, noting that the final route will be determined in line with Saddle Road planning agreements.

·    indicative cycle route from Lennox Head to Byron Bay as per Council resolution 23-163, noting that this requires further investigation into route options.

·    connecting Byron to Brunswick and Ocean Shores to Pottsville, noting that this requires further investigation into route options.

·    connections to proposed land release areas.

·    Updated sub-prioritisation of Priority A paths.  As there is a large number of Priority A paths, Council staff will break these down further into sub-priorities (i.e., A1, A2, A3).  These new sub-priorities will be based on safety, pedestrian crash data, community feedback, etc.
