Question No. 1 Affordable Housing
Dale Emerson, on behalf of Mullumbimby Residents Association, asked the following questions (as ready by staff):
Strategic planning: Rather than developing 32 affordable units on the town's carpark at 57 Station Street—which would invariably create challenges regarding traffic flow, parking availability, and disruption to our local business community—would it not be more prudent to utilize the council's own carpark adjacent to the council offices? Might we explore the possibility of relocating the displaced parking capacity to the railway corridor, thus maintaining necessary infrastructure while advancing our housing objectives?
The Mayor took the questions on notice.

Question No. 2 Counting Pedestrians and Cyclists
Basil Cameron, on behalf of Transport Justice, asked the following question:
s.5 of the Roads Act (NSW) provides that ‘a member of the public is entitled, as of right, to pass along a public road (whether on foot … or otherwise’. However our transport networks have failed to adequately provide safe accessible infrastructure for pedestrians, cyclists and other road users such as public transport commuters. Design is a key issue as roads are routinely designed to move vehicles and not people. Pedestrians, cyclists and other road users are not counted for road designs or traffic studies undertaken by developers. Council’s adopted Transport Strategy, Moving Byron, recommends action to ensure all road users are counted and considered in risk assessments for all new and upgraded roads. Can Council confirm that pedestrian, cyclist, disabled and public transport users are now counted and considered in the provision of all road infrastructure including Traffic Impact Assessments undertaken by developers and infrastructure planners? If not, why not?
The Director Infrastructure Services provided the following response:
Impacts on all users of a public asset including pedestrians, cyclists, disabled and public transport are considered through the safety and design process. Council design reference materials including Northern Rivers Design Guide, Transport for NSW Guides and Addendums, Australian Standards, AusRoad Guides and Byron Shire Council’s Pedestrian Access and Movement Plan. These materials contain extensive guidance on road designs around all road users. It is also an issue for Council in terms of funding and it also comes back to, in some instances, the scope of funding that has been approved from Grants etc. In some instances the additional improvements that Mr Cameron is speaking about are not included in those Grants and not eligible under those Grants.

Can you please confirm that the community housing provider that manages this development at 57 Station St will be offering rent at 30% of income to ensure truly affordable housing for our community?

Question No. 4 Community Consultation
Paul Bannister asked the following question:
Will Council reconsider the decision to do traffic lights, that was made without adequate community consultation, and now provide the preferred option of a roundabout by supporting a variation of the Grant?
The Mayor provided the following response:
That will be debated with 11.1 and so you will have an answer to that very soon.
Question No. 5 Funding of Suffolk Park intersection grant
Joti Jaffray asked the following question:
Can council explain the changes with the grant funding for the Suffolk Park intersection Road Safety Grant? In May 2024 it was listed as $1,475,464 at the November it was referred to as $1.9m and currently the Transport for NSW website list it as $2,329,912 and are you willing to provide a costing breakdown for each component of the application that has resulted in the identified $2.329,912m grant.
The Director Infrastructure Services provided the following response:
Those estimates were based on preliminary estimates when it was first submitted, and it was based on what we call a ‘concept design’. Throughout the process Council is asked to revise its figures, which they call a P50 estimate and that’s where the $1.799m came from. There is an upper limit Grant available which is subject to application, which is called a P90, which is where you get a greater confidence in the terms of the cost and that was valued at $2.3m. Also Council has the opportunity to ask for further funds in excess of the original estimate, and that is subject to approval from the funding authority.
Question No. 6 Grant details and Community Engagement
Dean Prosser, on behalf of Keep the Flow in Suffo, asked the following question:
Why hasn’t the BSC released or defined the grant details to the Keep The Flow in Suffo group as requested and when will this information be released? And why hasn’t there been comprehensive community consultation as councils Community Engagement Strategy 2022 identifies on page 17 as required for General Initiatives and proposals including website information, advertising, Your Say, letters to impacted residents and visitors etc for minimum 28 days?
The Director Infrastructure Services provided the following response:
In relation to the Grant, we are seeking permission from Transport for NSW that we can release the Grant because the Grant is actually within their Portal etc. Once we have their approval, we have no reason to not release the Grant. In terms of the question in relation to the estimate etc, we can provide high level estimates or cost break down but not down to the finer detail. The reason for that is that at some point if the project does go ahead, some of those elements need to be kept confidential because it could compromise the actual cost of the project when we go to tender.
Dean Prosser, then further asked the following question:
Do you have any time estimates on the delivery of that because we have been asking for the Grant details for five weeks?
The Grants Coordinator provided the following response:
We have asked Transport for NSW when they might give that permission, we are not sure, but they certainly are aware we have asked for it. They are also aware, I believe, there is a request coming from the Suffo Group as well to Transport for NSW.
The Director Infrastructure Services took the “community engagement” portion of the question on notice.
Question No. 7 Traffic Lights & Petitions
Samantha Turnbull asked the following question (as read by Staff):
What is meant by ‘interim’ and what guarantees can council provide that traffic signals would be ‘interim’ when council will require state approval to remove the signals, as well as further state and federal funding to build a replacement such as a roundabout?
The Director Infrastructure Services provided the following response:
Staff’s interpretation of Resolution 24-533 was that it was agreed to proceed subject to a report back to Council on the design of the signals at the same time consider the project as ‘interim’ on the basis that further work be done in relation to a roundabout option including access improvements to the general area in Suffolk Park. In terms of ‘interim’, most works we do are interim in that they can be removed at any time. The only issue that Council may face is that there may be a minimum time period in relation to the removal based on the Grant itself. We haven’t followed that aspect, however in some instances in other areas, traffic lights can be installed and removed quite simply. It is a matter of when and how and what the alternative is.
Question No. 8 Delegation
Jan Barham asked the following question (as read by Staff):
Could the General Manager please explain what delegation authorisation is available to staff for the lodgement of a Grant application for a proposal that hasn’t been endorsed by a council resolution or isn’t included in a current adopted Delivery or Operational Plan or any other relevant approved document.
The Director Infrastructure Services provided the following response:
Staff have delegation to lodge Grant applications on behalf of Council. We don’t necessarily have delegation to accept those Grants. Staff generally apply for a whole range of Grants ranging from road safety projects, housing projects, drainage projects, flood mitigation and so-forth from time to time on the basis of there are limited windows of opportunity to apply for those Grants. Council staff in April 2024 had the opportunity to apply for the Grant, which was on the basis of a known intersection problem and to meet the guidelines of the Grant which was for a safety improvement. Following that there was a report to Council in May 2024 alluding to the fact a Grant had been lodged. Cr Dey called the item and a subsequent resolution was called to provide a further report on the intersection. Staff were in the process of reporting to Council for the November meeting, however, we did receive advice the Grant was successful. That was the report that ended up going to Council on 24 November 2024 and Council resolved to accept the tender through that resolution based with those other conditions that were included in the resolution.
The meeting adjourned at 4.27pm for a recess break and reconvened at 4.50pm.
There were no apologies.

Cr Kay left the Chambers at 7.17pm in accordance with her earlier tabled Conflict of Interest Declaration.
|
1. Notes this is the first Planning Proposal received under Council’s Residential Strategy 2041. 2. Notes that the timing of this Planning Proposal presents certain challenges in relation to key infrastructure planning, funding, and delivery which will need to be the subject of ongoing discussions between Council and the proponent as part of the concurrent draft Planning Agreement process. 3. In relation to point 2: a. Notes the strong co-dependency between the BILS 5 and Gulgan Village sites. These two sites are intrinsically linked, as access to the BILS 5 land from Gulgan Road will pass through and continue into the Gulgan Village development. This connection must be fully recognised and addressed in the planning process. b. Requires the draft Planning Agreement to be updated to include provision of a collector road intersection with Gulgan Road as a dual lane roundabout with apportioned costs. This is to future proof the road network. This is in accordance with the resolution of Council at the Planning Meeting of 5 December 2024. c. Notes that there is a separate Planning Agreement for the BILS 5 land, which is relevant to this Planning Proposal and Planning Agreement. A review of it between Council and the proponent will be necessary as part of this draft Planning Agreement process to ensure consistency, equity, and efficiency in infrastructure planning and delivery across both sites. d. Requires staff to finalise assessment to determine whether a new water supply reservoir constructed at a higher point on the site might be needed in the future and review the draft Planning Agreement to accord with the assessment recommendations. Where required, the draft Planning Agreement is to be amended prior to public exhibition. 4. Notes the proponents offer to contribute to the provision of affordable housing on the land, which will need to be the subject of ongoing discussions between Council and the proponent as part of the concurrent Planning Proposal and draft Planning Agreement process. 5. In relation to point 4: a. Sets a timeline for the Housing Expert report, which will determine the Contribution Amount to support the Planning Proposal. This report will be a critical document and must be included in the exhibition of the Planning Proposal. c. Confirms a minimum ‘contribution amount’ of 10% including the Bundjalung of Byron Bay (Arakwal) Aboriginal Corporation (BoBBAC) ‘contribution amount’ needs to be included in the draft Planning Agreement. d. Rejects the provisions in the draft Planning Agreement relating to the establishment of a ‘Management Committee’ to “consider, manage, and determine the type, timing and recipients of the development contributions”. Instead includes provisions to reflect Council’s currently adopted implementation procedures for affordable housing contributions, which were the foundation for the resolution of Council at the Planning Meeting of 5 December 2024. 6. Staff to hold discussions with the proponent and make all necessary amendments in relation the draft Planning Agreement provisions as per points 2-5 prior to submitting the Planning Proposal for Gateway Determination. 7. In relation to the Planning Proposal: a. Accepts the 11.5m maximum building height proposed for the area to be zoned R1 General Residential and amends the Height of Building Map accordingly. b. Amends the Additional Permitted Uses Map as proposed in this report, and the land uses proposed be added to Schedule 1 of Byron LEP 2014, along with any supporting local provisions to clarify scope of permissible uses (where applicable). c. Amends the Planning Proposal to provide a precinct-based dwelling density map containing low and high dwelling yields for each precinct; and include an amended new local clause containing a requirement for dwelling diversity, the provision of secondary dwellings on lots larger than 450m2, and consideration of impacts on pedestrian, cycle and traffic movement on Gulgan Road d. Notes that a draft Development Control Plan to support the Planning Proposal will be prepared to manage urban design and general site requirements and be exhibited alongside the Planning Proposal. e. Requires staff to finalise assessment of the biodiversity value of the identified areas to determine the appropriate management approach and make any necessary amendments to the Planning Proposal prior to requesting a Gateway determination. 8. Prior to forwarding the updated Planning Proposal to the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure requesting a Gateway determination, that: a. the applicant submits an updated Traffic Impact Study incorporating Transport for NSW feedback requirements (i.e. SIDRA modelling); b. Council receive comment from TfNSW in relation to any required upgrades to the Pacific Motorway interchange north of the site; and c. TfNSW comments are to be submitted to the DPHI as part of the Gateway determination request; 9. Pending a positive Gateway Determination, that Council exhibits the Planning Proposal (with the updated draft Planning Agreement and draft Development Control Plan) in accordance with the Gateway conditions.
