ATTACHMENTS:<br />
1. Schedule <strong>of</strong> submissions.<br />
2. Transport Statement prepared by Donald Veal Consultants Pty Ltd.<br />
Committee Meeting 13 December 2011<br />
During discussion, Members expressed concern with regard to vehicular access/egress for the<br />
site, in particular, the exit point onto Jersey and the potential conflict with traffic from the IGA.<br />
The Administration was requested to provide further traffic engineering advice in relation to<br />
proposed road treatments on Jersey Street and how this would be affected by the proposed<br />
development. Further, advice was requested on whether there are measures that can be taken<br />
in relation to overall site access that would improve traffic conditions at the Jersey Street exit<br />
point.<br />
Developer contribution towards the provision <strong>of</strong> public art for the development was raised and<br />
the Administration was requested to provide advice on an appropriate contribution prior to the<br />
next meeting <strong>of</strong> <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
FURTHER REPORT (Post Committee Meeting 13 December 2011)<br />
To facilitate the implementation <strong>of</strong> public art throughout the <strong>Town</strong>, a percentage <strong>of</strong> development<br />
costs for private developments could be allocated to the provision <strong>of</strong> public art. In this regard, a<br />
request 1% <strong>of</strong> development construction costs is generally consistent with other local authorities<br />
where public art planning policies have been adopted.<br />
Public art is defined as an artistic work that is created and located for public accessibility and is<br />
work that has been designed by an artist for enhancement <strong>of</strong> a particular public realm. The<br />
developer could either provide the public art to the satisfaction <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> or pay a contribution<br />
in lieu <strong>of</strong> providing public art.<br />
The introduction <strong>of</strong> a Public Art Policy is currently being drafted for consideration by <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
However, to ensure successful implementation <strong>of</strong> a public art planning policy, the preparation <strong>of</strong><br />
supporting documentation, such as guidelines and strategies will also be required.<br />
