24.01.2022 MAYOR VOTING BLOC CONTINUES #ForSubiaco Letter to the editor, Post Newspapers 24 October 2020 The problem with having architects or town planners on... local councils is deflecting actual or a perception of bias. This is especially important when development applications involving architects come up for review by these councillors’ peers. An example is recent development assessment panel approval of a $4.5million apartment block at 3-5 May Avenue in Subiaco (DAP loses the plot with double density, POST, October 3). The architects for the application are Klopper & Davis, York Street East Subiaco, an architecture firm co-owned by Subiaco councillor Matt Davis. The town planners for the application are Urbanista, a town-planning firm co-owned by City of Stirling councillor Bianca Sandri. One of the DAP panel members who voted for the development is Subiaco councillor Derek Nash, co-owner of the architecture firm Nash & Ghersinich, Hay Street East Subiaco. Councillors Nash and Davis were identified on mayor Penny Taylor’s voting bloc (Mayor leads Subiaco voting bloc: analysis, POST, September 15, 2018). Controversially, the May Avenue development application received a large concession more than double the allowable floor area was approved, relative to the lot’s R50 zoning. The City-funded design review panel had not seen the final version of plans, though councillor Nash had and was thrilled to support it. When councillors who are architects have their development applications come before their peers on council or DAP and where their councillor or DAP member peers are also architects, whose businesses are dependent on developers, the ratepayers and residents have every right to question not only the perception of the wisdom of having architects on council in the first place, but whether resident interests are represented impartially.

23.01.2022 LETTERBOXING No junk mail signs are problematic for small business and community groups. With so much information noise on the internet, letterboxed information is good for small business and the community.

23.01.2022 VICTIM OF THE VOTING BLOC In my personal opinion Subiaco CEO Rochelle Lavery has been appointed and then treated unfairly by the Taylor Voting Bloc since August 2018. The Taylor Voting Bloc ("the Bloc") is well known to Subiaco residents and ratepayers.... Ms Lavery was appointed Acting CEO in May 2018 by the Bloc. After the appointment under instructions of Ms Taylor the Executive Leadership were mobilised to positively find evidence to frame up complaints against independent thinking councillors. The Executive were ably assisted by the appointed private investigator who wrote 8 frame up reports (September and October 2018). The two Councillors (Cr Richardson and Cr Stroud) appointed unanimously to the CEO Panel, most capable of assisting a newly appointed CEO with no experience, were made victims of complaints including Serious Breach Complaints made by Mayor Taylor. Using the framed up complaints the Bloc remove these councillors from the Panel. Im not making this up. The Local Government Act 1995 has no power to stop a voting bloc. The Bloc then appointed themselves to the CEO Panel and made little or no attempt to review the CEOs probation. Jackpot! Council was stuck with a gullible CEO with no experience and the Bloc determining her future. Since my successful SAT Appeal (March 2020) against the advice of the CEO and the decisions of the Bloc, the CEO appears now to be on the receiving end of Ms Taylor. The Bloc including Ms Taylor were conflicted and incapable of providing guidance and support to the CEO and thats probably why in my personal opinion they resigned en-masse so the CEO could be framed for everything thats wrong with the governance of Subiaco Council, and not the Mayor!

22.01.2022 SUBI EAST CREATES JUST 660 JOBS OVER 20 YEARS Planning without a plan does not create jobs, jobs, jobs. The Subi East Masterplan is not a proper plan to meet community standards and expectations for active sports space for more than 4,000 people over the next 20 years.... The plan doesnt meet the active sports space requirements for Bob Hawke College over the next 20 years Development is expected to generate 2,700 TEMPORARY construction jobs but just 660 ongoing job once fully developed in 20 years. Forcing established suburbs to accept inferior developments at the cost of active open sports space for jobs, jobs, jobs is just political spin to win another term in government.

21.01.2022 Minister Templemans removal of the Reg 9(1) exception is absolutely contrary to the comments of the Commissioner in the CCC Report into Dowerin. See below. How... can WALGA support this? How can the state government support the obfuscation of this important issue? It will be impossible from a practical point of view for a council to get independent advice when the CEO has a conflict or acts improperly. The irony is the CCC recommended training of councillors so they would know about this provision and when to use it. Instead Minister Templeman removes it at the same time as introducing compulsory training - seems like a complete contradiction. This change should be a major concern for every council and councillor who strives for good governance.

20.01.2022 Interesting how the latest version of Dept of Local Governments newsletter has failed to mention Minister Templemans proposed deletion of Reg 9 but has a nice... photo of Director General. The impact of this amendment is not fully understood by the Department, the Director General or the Minister. That is disappointing because the Town of Cambridge shared our legal advice with them in June 2018. Regulation 9 was singled out by the CCC in the Inquiry into the Shire of Dowerin as the mechanism by which council can exercise oversight and get independent advice. Is there no one left at the Dept who has read this report? Country councils -who have many fewer staff than metro councils- should be concerned as their councillors undertake many administrative tasks currently with the authorisation of the CEO such as running community forums etc. What was WALGA thinking in supporting this amendment?

20.01.2022 LOCAL GOVERNMENT REVIEW PANEL The report is now published with 65 recommendations to David Templeman MLA on Local Government Reform. The West Australian highlighted these recommendations:... Overhaul for council polls Entire local government councils will be elected once every four years in WA and the firstpast-the-post system abolished if recommendations from a sweeping review are adopted. The system which determines annual ratepayer bills should also be reviewed by the Economic Regulation Authority and minimum service delivery targets set, according to a new report from a panel tasked by Local Government Minister David Templeman with finding ways to overhaul laws governing the third tier of government. Mr Templeman said the State Government would closely consider the 65 recommendations in the preparation of a new Local Government Act Green Bill. Currently elections are held every two years, with half of the councillors up for a vote each time. The panel has recommended holding elections once every four years in between each State election. First-past-the-post, a system whereby preferences are not taken into account, should be replaced with optional preferential voting, according to the report. The panel discussed voting methodologies and agreed that the first-past-the-post system can often lead to outcomes that do not adequately represent the communitys preferences, with successful candidates being elected without a clear majority of votes, the report said. Business owners and commercial lease holders across WA are able to apply to their local government for a franchise vote even if they dont live in the area but the report says this should be done away with too because of low take-up.

19.01.2022 ANNUAL ELECTOR MEETINGS I'm curious why local government Annual Elector Meetings have been banned when many large meetings continue to be held in Western Australia? Is it because of the desire to separate power from the voting public and government generally?... Annual Elector Meetings are the only source democracy where elected members get to hear straight from the "horse's mouth" rather than through a filter based on political party bias. This photo of a meeting was taken today. The meeting had the backing of the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation. #ForSubiaco Subiaco Residents & Ratepayers https://www.facebook.com/groups/1788171804737144

16.01.2022 COUNCILLOR DELEGATED AUTHORITY This is what happens when elected councillors delegate their authority to the CEO and planning staff without any audit in place. Regular auditing is required to check the planning staffs development approvals. ... Delegated authority approved an out control development in a street of terrace houses with no checks and balances: * Guttering built on the affected neighbours property * Overlooking the private court yards * Overlooking the private lounge room * Flooding into the affected neighbours private court yard from the guttering * No dust containment on the building site and affected neighbour expected to clean up building dust for 18 months and counting. * Affected neighbour told by planning staff to negotiate and fix the issues with the builder. * No inspections requested by the planning staff after complaints submitted from 2018 onwards * Planning staff have used concessions to approve the non-compliant building An independent review of delegated authorities must be made compulsory under the Local Government Act for many reasons. This building is just one example. Local Government Reform #forSubiaco LGEMA - Local Government Elected Members Association West Australian Ratepayers & Residents Assoc.

15.01.2022 BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS BEFORE YOU BUILD Great advice from CGM Communications and @Anthony Fisk. Anthony recommends "early stakeholder and community engagement has never been more important".... "Of course, any early engagement should include genuine conversations with neighbours and community leaders on what they want from any redevelopment and how they would like to be engaged. These conversations could prove to be the determining factor in gaining development approval, so its worth doing right." Save Perth Hills Scrap the DAP West Australian Ratepayers & Residents Assoc.

10.01.2022 Just dropping the kids off at school! Photographer Paul Thomsen captured this beautiful moment of a male comb-crested jacana with his chicks at Yellow Waters ...Billabong in the Northern Territory. The comb-crested jacana is an Australian native waterbird and can be spotted around Top End wetlands. Theyre also known as lotus birds or Jesus birds for their ability to seemingly walk on water. Male jacanas are like stay-at-home dads, as the mother disappears after laying the eggs, leaving him to look after the chicks. When the father senses danger he will bundle his chicks up in his wings to carry them to safety. How cute!

09.01.2022 LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFORM The Department of Local Government gives evasive and misleading answers on matters raised in my SAT Appeal. Who is the Department trying to protect? The Hon. Bill Marmion asked a second question in Parliament regarding my SAT Appeal and received the following answer last month:... (a-b) The minutes of this Council meeting are available on the Citys website. (c) Yes. (d-e) The Council is responsible to determine if an appropriate reason exists for closing a meeting to the public, as provided by section 5.23 of the Local Government Act 1995 (the Act). (f) Councils are required to confirm the accuracy of minutes of Council meetings, with correction if required, by majority decision at subsequent Council meetings, as prescribed by section 5.22 of the Act. (g) There is no reference to the word annotation in the Act. The answers from the Department are evasive and misleading. The answer at (a-b) implies the answer is in the minutes and suggests the reader can find legal advice which is false and misleading. There was no legal advice on the development application which was the subject of my SAT Appeal in the minutes of 28 August 2018 or the minutes of 13 December 2016. Therefore there was no legitimate reason to close the meeting to the public or amend the minutes without Council approval. The DAP do not close their meetings to the public to reconsider a SAT appeal. Answer (c) agrees that a council can close a meeting to the public if legal advice was included in the Agenda but there was NONE. Answer (d-e) The Department avoids this question by referring to it as a matter for the Council to decide - an ill-informed council dominated by Mayor Taylors voting bloc in 2018. Answer (f) The Department confirms that minutes of council meetings can not be altered except by a motion from Council. However there is nothing in the LG Act that causes the Council to take action against employees that alter minutes of meetings after the minutes have been approved. However it is an offence under the State Records Act 2000 Section 9.4 Knowingly causing government records to be falsified, Cl 78(1). So what will the Department do about that? Answer (g) The Department is evasive and does a word search to confirm the word annotation does not exist in the Act. Who is the Department protecting by giving evasive and misleading answers to the Hon Bill Marmion?

08.01.2022 NON ANSWER BY THE DEPARTMENT OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT Courtesy of the Post Newspaper 20 June 2020 The identity of the person who doctored minutes of a Subiaco... council meeting remains a mystery despite questions asked in Parliament. Local Government Minister David Templeman responded to questions from Nedlands MP Bill Marmion about the affair which was highlighted in a blistering State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) ruling related to Subiaco council (Subi paranoia self-inflicted, POST, March 7). Mr Marmion asked: Can the minister advise who authorised the annotation and what is the correct process for such annotation to take place and does it require council approval? Mr Templeman replied that councils were required to confirm the accuracy of council meetings, with corrections if required, by majority decision at subsequent council meetings, as prescribed by section 5.22 of the Act. He also confirmed the Local Government Act did not include a reference to the word annotation. At its meeting of August 28, 2018, Subiaco council went behind closed doors, using an incorrect section of the Act to discuss a Thomas Street development application being appealed through SAT. Neighbours of the proposal and members of the community were kicked out of the meeting as a result. Former councillors Julie Matheson and Hugh Richardson repeatedly tried to warn the CEO, mayor, other councillors and staff that the council was going behind closed doors improperly, but were ignored. Ms Matheson wrote a letter to the editor which was published in the POST (Closed doors reveal paranoia, POST, September 8, 2018). In response to the letter, councillor Jodi Mansfield made a complaint to the Local Government Standards Panel, which upheld the complaint. In its ruling supporting Julie Mathesons appeal against that decision the tribunal highlighted the issue of the minutes being changed. An administrative annotation was added to the minutes sometime in or after November 2018 to note that the public had been excluded from the discussion of agenda item C13.1, tribunal member Bertus de Villiers said. The date on which the annotation was added, as well as the identity of the author of the notation, are not known. This annotation had not been put to the council, had not been discussed by the council and had not been endorsed or approved by the council. Legal advice (if any) giving rise to the annotation had not been provided to councillors. The confidential minutes for the Thomas Street development application at the August 2018 council meeting were made public following a move by councillor Angela Hamersley to put them on the public record. Mayor Penny Taylor and councillors Jodi Mansfield, Murray Rowe, Derek Nash and Matt Davis voted against the motion, which was carried 7/5. #localgovernmentreform #forSubiaco #paranoia

Whilst on Subiaco Council I lobbied for Council to purchase the building for permanent undercover markets.... In 2012, Coles and the CEO presented a secret proposal to Subiaco Council to purchase the Park Street carpark and build a seven storey office block with grocery shopping and underground car park on the site. The Post Newspapers found out about the proposal and told the story. Residents and ratepayers presented a 4,000 ++ signature petition to Council to save the urban tree canopy at the car park. Coles purchased the site in 2014 for $9million minus the carpark, then moved to the Station Street Markets site in Subi Centro. Permanent undercover markets would be a great outcome for this site.
