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 />
