MAYOR’S REPORT
12/8/03 TOMM Committee. This Committee has new drive and
I have asked Jackie Kelly to chair it. Jackie has a
passion and knowledge of TOMM which will assist in
driving it along. It is my intention to continue as a
member, however make it more active and get
considerable community inertia if possible
21/8/03 Our workshop day was a great success and gives us all
the time and opportunity to talk through matters without
the pressures of a Council meeting.

22/8/03 Southern & Hills Local Government Association
Annual General Meeting. Mayor Kym McHugh is chair
for the next 12 months, the February meeting will be on
Kangaroo Island. We had a presentation on the proposed
changes to the planning system, however we will be
relatively immune to “regionalisation” if we continue to
have a DAP structured as we do.
23/8/03 I had the pleasure of opening the Western Districts
Sports Club’s new playground. Cr Davis was enlisted by
me to assist. The WD community deserves a letter of
congratulations for their efforts and I believe a motion
in that direction should be forthcoming from Council.
25/8/03 A meeting of the Minister’s Committee to look at the
islands administrative arrangements was held. The
Minister’s office is going to get an overview from a
consultant [paid for by the Minister] to be completed by
late September so we can progress from broad
discussions to maybe an overview of what could be
possibilities. I would stress that these discussions are at
the Minister’s direction and not a secret method of
taking over everything. At their conclusion a report will
go to Minister McEwen. Tony Jarvis and myself are the
Council representatives. In the afternoon I was asked to
attend a meeting of the KI Development Board.
28/8/03 The AGM of Tourism KI at Penneshaw was a success,
Chris Schumann was returned as chair.
29/8/03 CEO, Bob Rattray and I met with airline principles in
Adelaide.
30/8/03 I attended a function at American River with Qantas
travel staff from interstate.
1/9/03 Public meeting re. community land at Penneshaw.
Details to be provided at the meeting.
3/9/03 KI Information Services Committee meeting at the

wheel chair bound people to fly off the Island, and the ferry confines
them to their vehicle, without access to toilets as there is no wheel chair
access to the lounges on either ferry.

3. BUSINESS ARISING FROM PREVIOUS MINUTES.
3.1 Rafferty Fynn told the committee that an interim report has been
complied form figures given to the CPN by various organizations on the
island.
4. ANY OTHER BUSINESS.
Preamble. The meeting (held on the 20/8/02) to which Mr Phil
Saunders and Ms Belinda White (both from Integrated Regional
Services of the PTB) were invited, was basically regarded by all as
‘disappointing’ regarding the lack of commitment made by the PTB to
establishing any form of transport system on the Island before the next
financial year. Mr. Phil Saunders told the meeting that the CPN

Coordinator’s role before that time was to prepare a detailed report that
would culminate in finding enough work to keep a 22 seater bus
employed for 40 hours per week. It is important to note that part of this
concept is to sell bus time to other Government Departments such as the
Health Services and the Education Department. To this end Belinda
White agreed to send to R. Fynn the results of the surveys conducted in
the Riverlands in recent months as a guide.
4.1 It was agreed by the committee that Rafferty Fynn should make a
special trip to the Yorke Peninsula CPN to get ideas and to find out how
they operate. This CPN operates within the new guide lines of the PTB,
in that it does not provide a transport service as its core business, which
is to coordinate existing transport.
Moved Toni Duka Second Beck Davis
4.2 It was agreed that R. Fynn will make an appointment with the new
hospital CEO regarding matters concerning the KICPN
4.3 Kangaroo Island Community Forum is willing to support any initiatives
of the KICPN. This support will be in the form of a letter of
endorsement from the Forum members.
4.4 It was suggested by Toni Duka that it was possible to perhaps obtain
funding from one of the many Grants organizations to purchase a
suitable vehicle for the carriage of the transport disadvantaged. This
suggestion was made because of the lack of commitment by the PTB to
have any funds available for the KICPN before the next financial year
and the fact that the ‘Hospital Bus’ is on its last legs. Toni Duka agreed
that she would speak to Lyndel Santibanez, Manager, Community
Health, regarding this matter with the view to forming a partnership . (A
receiver of Grant money needs to be an incorporated body )
4.5 R. Fynn to conduct a survey of transport needs in the following centers;-
- Vivonne Bay
- Parndana
- Kingscote
- American River
- Penneshaw
This will result in a report that duplicates the reporting format that the
PTB has adopted for other areas of South Australia that have had similar
surveys done.

10.3 Roadside Vegetation Management Consultative Committee
The following are comments I would ask Council to consider
prior to adopting/deferring the following recommendation.
It is my belief that the Roadside Vegetation Management
Consultative Committee was to include former Councillor Mr G
Smith who is the Local Government representative on the Native
Vegetation Council of South Australia. I further understood that
his appointment was to provide a larger state wide perspective.
Accordingly I believe that he should be invited to join the
committee. In addition, the composition of this Committee should
reflect a broad cross section of the community to provide balance.
There is a lack of broadacre expertise on the Committee and as
the vast majority of roadside vegetation is adjacent to the farming
sector it is critical that they have significant input.
The Management Plan also in my opinion requires considerable
input from officers. Council may recall that a significant court
case occurred in the recent past, thus it is important that officers
have involvement in the early stages of the review.
The plan is a management tool for Council staff and should not
be overly large as the operators need to refer to it sometimes on
the job. The plan was arrived at after considerable work and
needs some updating but no significant change.
Moved Cr
Seconded Cr
That the minutes of the Roadside Vegetation Management
Consultative Committee meeting held on 22.8.03 be received and
the recommendations therein be adopted.

6.2 Draft Kangaroo Island Roadside Vegetation Management Plan
* Only committee members received a copy because the committee is
driving the review. Council employees (other than Committee
members) will have an opportunity to comment through the
consultation process. This was seen as a way of giving everyone an
equal opportunity and not having a bias in one direction.
* The Plan is designed to give Council delegated responsibility for the
management of Native Vegetation on roadside under the Native
Vegetation Act. Any actions outside the guidelines within this plan
require Native Vegetation Council approval, Commonwealth Approval
and Council approval prior to proceeding. (This clarification is to be
added to the draft plan)

Summary of modifications required-
* Determine how individuals can be covered by Public Liability
Insurance if say weeding on a road reserve
* Provide examples of Restricted Access Vehicles
* No firewood collection on road reserves
* No cropping or grazing of roadside
* Placement of farm plant and equipment and hay bales not to be
permitted on road reserves
* Pollarding to create a mosaic of vegetation structures
* Roadsides can be used a fuel reduction zones if part of a larger
vegetation plan
* Discuss with Environmental Services Department how roadside
vegetation considerations can be incorporated into planning
requirements
* Consider the implementation of school bus “hard stand” areas for bus
stops to prevent Phytophthora spread
Plan to be presented to the next meeting for review and possible
recommendation for public release

when looking for corporate sponsorship. Autonomy is critical for the efficiency of the
Committee and its decision making process. The status of the committee will need to
be raised with Council and progressed.

11.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES REPORTS
Your Worship Mayor Pengilly and Councillors, I submit the
following reports for the Ordinary Meeting of Council to be held
on Wednesday 10 September 2003.
Moved Cr
Seconded Cr
That the Environmental Services Reports be received.
CARRIED.
11.1 REPORT TITLE: ALTERATION TO
AUTHORISATIONS
AUTHOR:
LAURENCE EVES, ESM
PURPOSE
This report serves to advise Council of the need to increase and
alter the authorisations of its officers as they appear under:
• Section 4(1) of the Impounding Act
• Section 44(1) of the Local Government Act
• Section 26(1)(c) of the Dog and Cat Management Act
• Sections 27,28 & 68 of the Dog and Cat Management Act
Staff Involved
For the purposes of streamlining this process and being able to
operate dog and cat management effectively at times when staff
are on leave or simply absent, it is important to have staff
authorised to undertake duties as required. These staff are:
• Robert Rattray (CEO)
• Laurence Eves (ESM)
• Anthony Jarvis (CSM)
• Ken Liu (TSM)
RECOMMENDATION 1
That pursuant to Section 44 of the Local Government Act 1999
and Section 26(1)(c) of the Dog and Cat Management Act,
Laurence Gregory Eves be hereby delegated the powers of the
Registrar for issuing and replacing certificates of registration and
registration discs.

17
RECOMMENDATION 2
That pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Impounding Act, 1920
Robert Rattray, Laurence Gregory Eves, Anthony John Charles
Jarvis and Kin Chou Liu be hereby appointed as Authorised
Officers.
RECOMMENDATION 3
That pursuant to Sections 27, 28 & 68 of the Dog & Cat
Management Act 1995 that Robert Rattray, Laurence Gregory
Eves, Anthony John Charles Jarvis and Kin Chou Liu be
appointed as Authorised Dog & Cat Management Officers with
powers as defined by that Act.
DISCUSSION
Given that the General Inspector is now a member of the
Environmental Services Section, it has become necessary to alter
the existing structure of authorisations so as to be able to manage
this area of Council’s responsibility effectively.
The amended authorisation will allow a more expedient approach
to the task when the General Inspector is absent or on leave. The
ongoing arrangement will still need to have a member or two
from the out door staff trained in this work however, it is often
the administration and day to day operation of the programme
that is not controlled.
11.2 REPORT TITLE: STAFF VISIT TO ADELAIDE
AUTHOR:
LAURENCE EVES, ESM
PURPOSE
This report serves to advise Council on specific outcomes from a
Council officer visit to Adelaide on 28 th & 29 th August, 2003.
RECOMMENDATION
That the report be received and noted.
DISCUSSION
On 28 th & 29 th August this year Council’s ESM & Planning
Officer undertook a trip to Adelaide for the purpose of
interviewing consultants to assist with Council’s Heritage Study
and Streetscape design for the four main towns on Kangaroo
Island. Included in the trip was a visit to Planning SA where
discussions with several officers were undertaken on a range of
issues. The following information details outcomes from the trip:

Planning SA
• Discussions were held with Mr Jason Green from Planning
SA regarding the potential for Council to access grant
funding via the “Places for People” programme.
Discussions were fruitful and revolved around Council
being able to utilise the four main town Heritage and
Streetscape review as the subject for the grant application.
Planning SA raised some specific criteria that the
application would need to meet in order to qualify for
consideration as a grant application. The major amendment
to the task was to include a high degree of Urban Design
consideration and assessment with heritage, streetscape
and a traffic study feeding into that process.
An application has been lodged and negotiations with Planning
SA have resulted in Council having an additional week to
forward further details and mapping to support the application.
• Discussion was also held with David Lake and Darren
Starr from the Plan Amendment Branch of Planning SA
with a view to informing them of Council’s direction in
terms of the Section 30 process.
Once again they were most supportive of Council in this
matter and indicated that they were happy for Council staff
to undertake the work in-house and would assist wherever
they could.
Discussion was also held on the public consultation
process and areas of content that are likely to arise and on
how they should be dealt with.
• Appointments were made with David Goodwins and Ray
Nash from the Department’s mapping section in order to try
and obtain mapping to further a Bushfire PAR for Council.
This meeting was also quite successful as Dave Goodwins
indicated that he felt positive he could assist Council with
the mapping requested.
Other mapping for the major centres of KI was also looked
at and a better insight into how Planning SA might assist
with mapping in the future was gained.
• A meeting was also held with Kim Gurner, a project
officer for DAC at Planning SA, regarding the
consideration of Council’s Community Service Centre.
18

Kim advised that a hearing will occur on KI on 25 th
September in order to hear submissions from those persons
who made a representation on the application.
It is at that time also that the Commission is likely to make
a decision on the matter.
Consultant Interviews
Council Officers also went on to undertake interviews of
consultant bodies with a view to selecting an appropriate
organisation to assist with providing accreditation to Council’s
Heritage and Streetscape study of the four main towns on KI.
The project was also discussed with Planning SA and an
application for funding has been lodged under the “Places for
People” grant scheme. Some modification to the programme has
had to be considered in order to fit the funding criteria.
It is anticipated that a consultant organisation will be
recommended to Council for this work soon and that this project
will proceed as planned for this financial year.
11.3 REPORT TITLE: COMMUNITY TITLES
AUTHOR:
LAURENCE EVES, ESM
19
PURPOSE
The purpose of this report is to give Council an insight into the
direction of the Community Titles legislation and process.
RECOMMENDATION
That the information be received and noted.
BACKGROUND
Councillors and Council officers have attended two meetings on
the matter of Community Titles during the month of August with
a view to gaining a better insight into the potential of this
legislation to impact on development outcomes on Kangaroo
Island.
Meetings were attended at Victor Harbour on the 22 nd August,
2003 and again at the Ozone Hotel on the 25 th August, 2003.
DISCUSSION
Community Titling is a means of dividing land that creates
nominated areas for the private use of occupants and common
areas within the allotment administered by a body corporate.

20
There are two types of community titles available:
• A Community Scheme
• A Community Strata Scheme.
A Community Scheme comprises the scheme for the division,
development and administration of the land set out in the scheme
description (if any), plan of community division, by-laws and the
development contract (if any) lodged with the Registrar General
under the Community Titles Act.
A Community Strata Scheme comprises a plan of community
division (to be called a strata plan) that may create community
lots with defined upper and lower boundaries as well as lateral
boundaries.
Potential Issues
Whilst there are recognised useful and beneficial aspects to this
legislation, there are also potential issues associated with the
setting up and administration of the process.
Allotment Size
Discussion has revealed that there is a large potential for
developers to seek an adjustment to the minimum allotment size
as it appears within Council Development Plans.
Developers allege that some Council’s are giving way and
allowing allotment sizes for Community Housing that are less
than that prescribed within the Development Plan. The argument
is such that community areas provide the required additional
space and that the community area may be used to calculate the
open space requirements for all dwellings within the complex and
not be aligned to units on an individual basis.
The danger is that this logic allows for the provision of additional
units on the basis of common and open space duplication.
Zoning
Discussion also revolved around the notion by developers that
Community Titling was suitable anywhere. Council’s officers raised the
issues associated with this thought on the basis that medium or high
density residential development was definitely not suitable to many zones.
Examples of this include community titling in General Farming
Zones where obvious land use issues can occur or community
titling adjacent to sensitive Coastal areas.
Council’s Jurisdiction
A further point of issue is the potential for Council to have a
limited amount of jurisdiction with Community Titling especially
in the area of infrastructure provision.

Legal opinion would suggest that Council may have difficulty in
enforcing infrastructure provision by developers and further that,
provision of infrastructure would be an issue between a purchaser
and the developer where it was not supplied.
The point of issue here is that if infrastructure forms a part of the
Scheme Description then the enforcement role for its provision is
likely between the developer and a purchaser of an allotment. It is
also not likely that a Council can condition a consent to require a
developer to comply with a Scheme Description.
A scheme description is not required where the plan does not
create more than six lots used predominantly for residential
purposes without the creation of a development lot.
Should Councillors wish to undertake a little more reading on this
issue, Council’s Environmental Services Department can assist.
11.4 REPORT TITLE: VERANDAH/SHELTER STRUCTURE
ADDITION – KINGSCOTE OVAL
AUTHOR:
PATRICK MITCHELL,
PLANNING OFFICER
FILE NUMBER: 520/187/03
ATTACHMENTS: APPLICATION DETAIL
21
PURPOSE
Council has received Development Application 520/187/03 by
the Kingscote Football Club to construct a verandah
addition/shelter structure to be attached to the existing club rooms
building at Lot 124 Centenary Avenue, Kingscote, being on land
under the care and control of Council.
This matter is referred to Council for consideration of the
proposal and approval to allow for the lodgement of the
application should Council be satisfied with the proposal.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council consent to the lodgement of Development
Application 520/187/03 by the Kingscote Football Club to
construct a verandah addition/shelter structure to be attached to
the existing club rooms building at Lot 124 Centenary Avenue,
Kingscote being land under the care and control of Council
therefore, allowing the application to proceed.

DISCUSSION
The application proposes the development of a 5.0 metres x 27.0
metres, veranda structure to the eastern aspect of the existing
clubrooms at Centenary Avenue and 4.2 metres x 8.0 metres
weather shelter to the southern aspect of the clubrooms.
The veranda structure is proposed to be constructed from steel
uprights to a maximum height of 7.0m and clad with trimdex
sheeting to match the roof height of the existing building.
The weather shelter is proposed to be constructed from masonry
columns and clad in roof sheeting to match the existing building.
The application further proposes internal additions and
modifications, as an overall upgrade of the Kingscote Football
Club room facilities, to allow the existing kitchen and servery to
be upgraded and better utilised by patrons and staff of the facility
as well as to provide shelter to cater for the canteen servery and
shelter for patrons of the oval generally.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
The application will require assessment against Residential Zone
provisions of the Kingscote (DC) Development Plan. The
proposal will be associated with and ancillary to the existing
recreational use of the site and is therefore expected to be
consistent with the Zoning provisions of the Kingscote (DC)
Development Plan.
Further, the proposal is considered to be of a minor nature only
and unlikely to be the subject of objection from the owners or
occupiers of land in the locality.
Therefore, should Council consent to the lodgement of the
application, it is likely that Council officers will be able to
proceed with the assessment and approval of the application.
CONCLUSION
Should Council therefore be satisfied with the proposal it is
recommended that Council approve the application, thereby
allowing the construction of the proposed development to
proceed.

11.5 REPORT ITEM: APPEAL AGAINST KI COUNCIL
& OYSTER COVE SHELLFISH
AUTHOR:
PATRICK MITCHELL,
PLANNING OFFICER
FILE NUMBER: DA520/037/03
ATTACHMENTS: YES
23
PURPOSE
To advise Council that a Notice of Appeal has been lodged by
Kenneth William Grinter, Gabriel Bittar, Deborah Sleeman &
Anthony Klieve with the Environment, Resources and
Development Court against Kangaroo Island Council’s decision
to grant provisional Development Plan consent to Development
Application 520/037/03 by Oyster Cove Shellfish Pty Ltd for the
purpose of a Oyster Grading, Packaging & storage shed at Part
Section 271 Tangara Drive, American River.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Council receive and note the report.
DISCUSSION
The application was subject to the Category 3 public notification
process in accordance with the Development Act 1993, with 10
submissions raising objection to the proposal and one submission
in support of the proposal being received.
While 3 submissions raising objection to the proposal expressed a
desire to be heard, only Mr Grinter and Mr Klieve addressed the
meeting.
Councillors will recall that at the May 2003 meeting, the Panel
resolved to delegate to Council’s Planning Officer, its powers in
relation to assessment and approval of the application, subject to
receipt of additional detail, discussions with the applicant in
regards to re-siting the proposed building, subject to appropriate
conditions and any further conditions deemed necessary by
Council’s ESM.
The applicant subsequently submitted additional information
including a plan demonstrating a revised siting of the proposed
building that is expected to reduce the impact of views from
neighbouring properties. The application was subsequently
granted provisional Development Plan consent on the 25 July
2003, subject to appropriate conditions.

24
Section 86(1)(b) of the Development Act provides for a right of
appeal to the Environment, Resources and Development Court
against a decision, which involves a Category 3 development.
Four objectors to the proposal have taken advantage of their right
to lodge a Notice of Appeal with the Environment, Resources and
Development Court.
Accordingly, the Environment, Resources and Development
Court has given preliminary notice that a conference between all
parties will be held at the Kingscote Courthouse, on the 30
September 2003.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
The compulsory conference will require some limited financial
expenditure primarily relating to Council officers time in terms of
researching and attendance at the conference.
Should a reasonable compromise not be reached at the
conference, the matter will be put to a hearing of the
Environment, Resources and Development Court, which will
require financial expenditure for Council to appoint a solicitor to
represent Council in its decision.
11.6 REPORT TITLE: THE ENVIRONMENT
PROTECTION (WATER
QUALITY) POLICY 2003
AUTHOR:
PETER H MOORS,
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
OFFICER
FILE NUMBER: 061
PURPOSE
This report is an information report and serves to advise Council
that a number of Council employees attended an information
session on the new Environment Protection (Water Quality)
Policy 2003, at the Ozone Hotel on Thursday 28 August.
RECOMMENDATION
That the report be received and noted.
BACKGROUND
Peter Scott and Keith Bilsborough from the EPA explained to
Council employees what an Environment Protection Policy is, the
purpose of the new Water Quality Policy and the issues that it
covers, the specific obligations under the new policy and the
enforcement of the policy.

25
There are some specific (and sometimes mandatory) obligations
that will apply for some industries and activities, including:
• Applying antifoulants
• Septic systems
• Septic tank effluent disposal schemes
• Fish processing works
• Waste depots wineries and distilleries
The policy uses codes of practice or guidelines as a means of
describing how people can comply with their general
environmental duty and obligations under the policy. Although
failure to comply with a code is not an offence, compliance can
be enforced through the issuing of an Environmental Protection
Order. The codes of practice have been around for some time, but
the new policy will now make compliance a legal requirement. In
addition, there will be new provisions incorporated into Council’s
Development Policy.
Council may appoint its own officers to police the water quality
policy and it is proposed to send at least three officers to an EPA
training session set down for mid October.
Further details can be obtained from the Environmental Health
Officer.
11.7 REPORT TITLE: STEDS PUMP STATIONS
AUTHOR:
PETER H MOORS,
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
OFFICER
FILE NUMBER: 125
PURPOSE
The Inspection report from ITT Flygt Pty Ltd has now been
received, complete with recommendations for additional work
that needs to be done.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council accept the recommendations made by Flygt Pty Ltd,
and in particular, agree to replace the pump station guide rails
with stainless steel rails rather than galvanised rails.
BACKGROUND
Test showed that all stations operated correctly in relation to the
automatic functions of the pump control panels.
Recommendations in the report are summarised below:
• The lids on the pump chambers at Pump Stations A, B & D be
replaced or repaired as soon as possible. Replacement lids have
already been requested for these and for Pump Station C.

26
• Replacement of the old galvanised guide rails in all pump
chambers to ensure both the longevity of the rails and to
ensure that the pumps can be removed safely from above the
chamber. Flygt have provided quotes for replacing the rails
with galvanised rails ($3,940-00) or with stainless steel
($5,190-00) exclusive of GST.
• Pump 1 at Pump Station A and pump 2 at Pump Station C
both show the presence of water inside the oil chambers and
they should be removed and serviced to avoid costly rewind
repairs and service calls should a burn-out occur.
• A number of indicator lamps were blown and needed
replacement. This has now been done.
• Pump Station E in front of the museum has a badly corroded
pump lifting chain which needs replacement, as well as a
chain hook to allow safe fastening of the chain. In addition,
the existing pipe-work is rigid PVC set down quite deep in
the pumping chamber. It is recommended that this be
replaced with “Helifex” style flexible hose complete with
“Camlock” fitting for ease of pump removal, in case there is a
need to repair the pump in an emergency.
11.8 REPORT TITLE: DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
COMPARISON
AUTHOR:
LAURENCE EVES, ESM
PURPOSE
This report serves to display the trends as they have developed
within the processing of Development Applications over the last
5 years.
RECOMMENDATION
The report be received and noted.
BACKGROUND
Simple graphing of applications for the purpose of identifying the
need to develop better processing systems for development
applications has revealed a significant upward trend in the
quantity of work within the Environmental Services Department
over the last five years.
Comment as to the need for resources and staff to spend time in
this area is readily identified when the situation is displayed in
graph form. This discussion does not take into account land
divisions or any other associated work aligned with development
processes.

27
DISCUSSION
The data produced for this report is seen as a simple way of
demonstrating to Councillors that the trend for development on
Kangaroo Island is alive and well.
The information provided for the years 1999 to 2002 reveal a bar
graph relevant to a whole year. The current year, 2003, reveals a
graph relevant to the January/August period only.
For the sake of comparison, figures are provided that terminate at
31 st August for each year and are represented as follows:
Year
No. of Applications
1999 155
2000 158
2001 170
2002 205
2003 215
The trend shows a steady increase in applications over the last 5
years with an approximate 30% increase in overall intake. What
the graph cannot show of course is the complexity of those
applications or the amount of associated extra duty via legislation
that has accompanied that increase.
Council should be aware that the move by State Government is to
divest itself of the expensive aspects of managing areas of control
and one of those areas is planning and building. Council has had
to pick up many mandatory duties without an associated budget
that otherwise could have assisted with staff resourcing.
So Where to From Here.
The logic behind this report is to advise Council of difficulties
and hopefully provide solutions, not provide additional problems.
The Environmental Services Team has been working on staff
management plans for projects and ways to better manage our
budget. We feel we are achieving in this area. The next step is to
complete a whole of department project and task management
programme and then to benchmark that programme in
collaboration with the CEO. In this way we feel that we will
better identify areas of crisis management.
I would suggest that a graph for land division, general complaint
or mandatory inspection in any area would reveal a similar
outcome. As such our department is working to identify these
needs and address them in a more consistently manageable way.

Some Interesting Results.
January – This year has recorded the highest intake of
applications in five years. There is no particular reason for this
other than to say that there is an upward trend in development on
KI.
February – This month was slower than usual and may correlate
more with market and tourism trends than with the real situation
on the Island. Whilst development was within the ball park, it
was not significantly strong.
March – This month was amazing and quite out of character for
this time of year. March almost revealed a record growth for a
five year monthly review of data and caused significant difficulty
given its out of character performance.
April – This month was also strong without setting a record for
the five year period. Some causation may have been the record
month prior however, the drop still resulted in the second highest
figure for April in five years. This figure still revealed a strong
building market on KI.
May – This figure represented the record for DA lodgement over
the last five years. The figure once again reveals a significant
upward trend in building approvals for KI.
June – This month also recorded the highest figure for June over
the last five years.
July – This month held pace with the previous month however it
did reveal a drop on the previous year.
August – This month once again recorded well for the five year
period and once again revealed a drop on the previous year whilst
still retaining a very high average for the five year grouping.
Conclusions
It is difficult to accurately establish as to why some months are
out of the usual performers. It may have something to do with
crop or product sales, trends in stay at home tourist locations or
the like however, there is a trend upward in development on KI
that expert opinion predicted would have slowed down for the
last three years. In closing this report suggests that all are
prepared and plan for the future in this area.

FILE NUMBER: 061
FOOD PREMISES INSPECTIONS
The inspection of food premises is proceeding, although still at a
slower rate than was hoped, due to illness and other more urgent
unscheduled commitments. The recent TAFE food safety training
courses have been extremely well attended and as a result of this,
many more food businesses are now completing food business
notification forms and purchasing the required thermometers.
Generic cleaning schedules and forms for both recording
fridge/freezer temperatures and the temperatures of potentially
hazardous food upon its receipt are being provided when
requested.

FOOD RECALLS:
Three food recalls were received for the month of August. These
included the following:
• Campbell’s Condensed Soup (Vegetable Beef) – pieces of
rubber and rubber-coated metal detected in some cans.
• Logan Farm Spinach Portions – Chopped Leaf Style
(Frozen) – product may contain small thistles.
• Dairy-free Fruccio ice dessert – all flavours – product
labelled dairy-free but contains undeclared milk protein
(casein).
• Trident brand Oriental Favourites Pad Thai Noodles –
incorrect labelling – undeclared allergen (wheat) in the
flavour sachet.
FOOD SAFETY TRAINING:
The Environmental Health Officer addressed one morning and
three evening food safety training sessions run by TAFE and
again funded by the KI Development Board. Issues covered by
the EHO were the new requirements for skills and knowledge and
the need for all food businesses to complete notification forms.

OFFICER
ATTACHMENTS: AUGUST FLOW METER
READINGS
FILE NUMBER: 061
31
FLOW METER READING:
The STEDS flows for August are attached. Due to the recent
heavy rains, there have been some very high readings.
STEDS LAGOONS
A close watch has been maintained on the lagoons since they
went into overflow, with a daily inspection made by the
Environmental Health Officer.
BIOSOLIDS DEPOT:
The recent high rainfall has caused a significant delay in the
drying off of ponds No. 2 and 3. In addition, the level in pond No.
1 has risen considerably. Consideration must soon be given to a
possible extension of the Biosolids Depot which needs to
incorporate another industrial/commercial pond and an increased
flat area for the aging of stockpiles.

NOTIFIABLE DISEASES:
The statistical report received from the Communicable Disease
Control Branch of the Department of Human Services indicates
that there was a case of Legionella longbeachae on the island
during July. Since this strain of Legionella is generally associated
with potting soils and compost rather than cooling towers, spas
and warm water systems, no separate advice was received by
Council. A reminder to residents that they should exercise care
when using potting soils, by using gloves and preferably a face
mask, will be circulated shortly.
DERELICT HOUSE:
The vacant house at American River mentioned in last month’s
report has now been tidied up by the owner with some local help.
The owner now has several local people who will keep an eye on
the place for him while he is away and he has indicated that he
will remain in contact with the Environmental Health Officer to
keep him posted.
IMMUNISATION:
The normal monthly immunisation clinic was held during August,
together with sessions at both Kingscote and Parndana Area
Schools for Hep B and Meningococcal disease.
PIRSA ENHANCED LIVESTOCK DISEASE SURVEILLANCE
NEWSLETTER
The latest issue of the above newsletter was recently received
from PIRSA. Included in it was a reminder that no swill is to be
fed to pigs. The term swill in this case refers to any mammalian
material that has not been rendered (heat treated). There was also
mention of the fact that as a result of a case of Mad Cow Disease
being diagnosed in Canada some months ago, SA has to submit
for testing, a quota of 16 cattle brains and 50 sheep brains from
animals showing symptoms similar to those of TSE diseases
(Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathys).
12.4 REPORT TITLE: FIRE PREVENTION OFFICER'S
REPORT - JULY/AUGUST 2003
AUTHOR:
MICHELLE MAGUIRE, FIRE
PREVENTION OFFICER
32
The following report is presented for Council information:

Bushfire Prevention Planning
• Vivonne Bay Bushfire Prevention Plan - The draft plan has
been completed and was presented to the steering committee
for corrections and/or endorsement in preparation for release
for public comment. So far the only committee member
comments received have been from Mr Roger Collins of the
Department of Environment and Heritage. Only minor
amendments were proposed. Unfortunately, DEH are not yet
ready to include their Fire Management Statement for
Vivonne Bay Conservation Park in the plan.
• Southern Bay of Shoals Bushfire Prevention Plan -
Planning was commenced for the protection of lives and
property from bushfires in the developing area north of
Kingscote. The major proportions of the plan, including land
use, fire history and bushfire potential sections, were
developed and forwarded to the steering committee for
comment and input. Steering committee inspection of the
main planning areas of concern focused on The Bullock
Track. The Fire Prevention Officer will work with
Department of Environment staff to develop proposals for the
maintenance of emergency services access. Longer term
proposals will also be developed for consideration by Council
and, later, the Native Vegetation Council.
Hazard Management
• Dangerous Substances Act 1979 - The Country Fire Services
Region 1 Chief Officer was able to provide an extract from
the Dangerous Substances Regulations 2002 to assist
development of strategies for dealing with the handling of
complaints regarding the dangerous and illegal storage of
flammable substances, particularly fuel, within townships.
This has been added to Council responsibilities with
amendments to Section 40 of the Country Fires Act.
• “Fire Track Classification” - The Country Fire Service
requested the Fire Prevention Officer’s comments on a draft
document setting standards for fuel breaks and fire access
tracks on government land, as proposed by the Government
Agencies Fire Liaison Committee.
• Campfire Restrictions - Requests have been received and
responded to regarding the restrictions on the use of campfires
and cooking fires in public places outside the Fire Danger
Season. While fire season restrictions do not apply, the public
must meet fire safety and vegetation protection requirements
year round.
33

34
Building and Development Standards
• KI Roadside Vegetation Management Plan - The Fire
Prevention Officer examined the first draft of the new
roadside vegetation management plan.
• Building Proposals - The Fire Prevention Officer undertook
inspections of proposed dwelling sites in areas of potential
significant wildfire threat. Written advice was provided
according to the vulnerability of the proposed structures.
State Fire Prevention Officer’s Seminar
The Fire Prevention officer attended a two day conference for
Fire Prevention Officers from around the State at the end of
August. It is proposed that attendance and contribution to the
future meetings will be required for the retention of FPO status
under the Country Fires Act.
Key issues covered by the seminar included reviews of current
legislation, including the Environmental Protection (Burning) Policy
1994 and the responsibilities of Authorised Officers under Section 38
of the Country Fires Act. Des Parker, CFS Legislation Review Project
Officer, outlined changes to the Country Fires Act which were
forwarded to Parliamentary Counsel for their approval in late August.
Mr Packer praised the Kangaroo Island Fire Prevention officer, noting
CFS Board recommended changes to the Act which originated from
issues identified and legislation proposed by the KI FPO.
KI Bushfire Prevention Committee AGM
The District Bushfire Prevention Committee strongly supported
the approach of the Environmental Services Manager to have
Kangaroo Island gazetted as a Bushfire Prone Area under the
Development Act and requested his invitation to the next
Committee meeting.
A co-operative planning approach between the Department of
Environment and Heritage and the committee resulted in the
decision that the bushfire prevention planning priority for
2003/04 would be the development of a joint plan for the area
north of Flinders Chase. Strategies will be developed by Robert
Ellis of DEH and the FPO in the near future, however,
commencement of the plan will await the outcomes of the DEH
Flinders Chase Fire Management Plan. The second plan
supported by the committee will be for the protection of
Penneshaw township and its preparedness for bushfires. This plan
will be commenced in the near future. The Antechamber Bay
Bushfire Prevention Plan was identified as due for review. In
accordance with the committee’s responsibilities under the
Country Fires Act, Fire Danger Season dates and local permit to
burn conditions were reconsidered and it was resolved that no
changes should occur.

Work Programme – September/October 2003
• Penneshaw Bushfire Prevention Plan - Commencement of the
plan in accordance with the directions of the KI Bushfire
Prevention Committee
• Bushfire Prevention Planning Strategy - to be developed by
DEH and the FPO
• Section 40 Country Fires Act - Commencement of major
inspections in October
• Southern Bay of Shoals Bushfire Prevention Plan Steering
Committee Meetings - Continuation of development of the
draft plan.

13.2 REPORT TITLE: CHRISTMAS COVE HARBOUR
AUTHOR:
KEN LIU, TSM
PURPOSE
To update the progress on the redevelopment of Christmas Cove
project.
RECOMMENDATION
That the action taken by the Technical Services Manager in
authorising the additional works to be undertaken on Christmas
Cove as outlined be ratified.
BACKGROUND
SA Tourism Commission confirmed over the phone on 14/8/2003
that the supplementary funding of $50,000 is available for extra
development works on the Cove, regardless Council’s application
for additional grant from the SA Boating Facilities Advisory
Committee is successful or not.

DISCUSSION
Following further negotiations with the Contractor, Leed
Engineering and Construction Pty Ltd, the indicative cost for the
additional works (to enable limited future marina berths to be
provided in the stage 1 redevelopment) is $82,500 including
GST. The additional works (as shown on the modified plan
below) include the following:
• Extension of 32 metres revetment walling,
• Excavation of 4,000 cubic metres basin material, and
• Installation of five (5) piles.
The contract price including the above additional works
(excluding $30,000 for the supply and delivery of some 65 cubic
metres of ready-mix concrete by Council) becomes $595,485 (ie
$541,350 GST exclusive). The total project cost including
engineering design and management is approximately $610,000
GST exclusive.
Total funding available for the project is $614,000 which is made
up of:
• $250,000 SATC grant
• $284,000 SA Recreational Boating Levy Fund
• $50,000 (SATC loan) & $30,000 (2002/03 Budget) from KI
Council
As these additional works outlined above can be accommodated
within the funding available, I have authorised the inclusion of
these works in the contract.
Construction work is now planned to commence either the last
week of September or immediately after the October’s Long
Weekend.

13.3 REPORT TITLE: KINGSCOTE STEDS
EXTENSIONS
AUTHOR:
KEN LIU, TSM
PURPOSE
To seek instructions from Council in relation to the proposed
extensions of Kingscote STEDS.
RECOMMENDATION
That this matter be referred to the STEDS Committee for a
recommendation, and further that in light of the complexity of
this project, with the exception of the line on Marsden Crescent
being extended to Lot 111 Investigator Avenue subject to site
investigation by the Technical Services Manager, Council defers
the extension of the existing system until those issues raised in
the report are addressed.
BACKGROUND
$138,200 has been provided in the current budget to extend the
Kingscote’s STEDS connections to Vivonne Avenue and other
areas.
DISCUSSION
Preliminary to the design of any STEDS project, it is necessary to
determine the extent of the areas which are to be serviced and
collect field data and information that would affect the outcomes.
The process will involve the following:
1. Ascertain as to how far Council wishes to provide STEDS
connections to properties in Kingscote from the extensions (ie
to properties with septic tanks only, all blocks within the
existing township area, or beyond to include future urban
land);
2. Locate all minor STEDS extensions which have been installed
since the implementation of the original scheme in 1976, but
not recorded on the master plan;
3. Find out the levels and sizes of existing gravity drains,
capacity of the system, and any hydraulic issues that would
need to be included for engineering considerations;
4. Identify the locations of all properties that have a septic tank
installed in the ground, but not connected to the STED system
and undertake field survey as required for more accurate
information of these tanks, in particular their positions and
outlet levels; and
5. From the above information, develop option plans or a design
brief for the preparation of construction drawings and
technical specifications.

Due to lack of available engineering data and unknown
magnitude of the existing problems with the existing STEDS, it
would be difficult to advise Council the cost of the extensions
and the extent of the problems without going through the above
process. The key issues are:
1. Whether the existing STEDS infrastructure (ie the gravity
mains, the pumping stations and oxidation lagoon) has the
sufficient capacity for extra flows
2. Some of the existing septic tanks pending connection may be
installed in wrong positions and the outlets put in may also be
too low that will require relocations or otherwise connections
cannot be provided.
3. No easements on properties where the new drain lines may be
laid have yet been acquired by Council.
4. Some existing building works or structures may be on the
alignment of the new drains which will create constraints in
providing the connections.
5. The existing minor STEDS extensions installed few years ago
without proper engineering consideration may be built on
wrong alignments or levels.
6. Unless the current problem with the stormwater infiltration to
the existing pipes is rectified, the hydraulic performance of
the entire system cannot be determined under the sanitary
engineering principles.
Initial assessment undertaken by searching through files and
records and field inspections, have suggested that it will be an
enormous task to find out exactly where all the existing septic
tank outlets and extensions are, as it may be necessary to uncover
some or most of the existing pipes installed over last 25 years so
that the sizes, depths and alignments of these extensions can be
determined.
In light of the complexity of this project, it would be wise to have
it investigated and planned properly before extending the existing
pipes any further.

13.4 REPORT TITLE: KINGSCOTE CEMETERY
REDEVELOPMENT
AUTHOR:
KEN LIU, TSM
ATTACHMENTS: REDEVELOPMENTS PLANS &
ACTION PLAN
PURPOSE
To consider the proposal for the extension of the Kingscote
Cemetery.
RECOMMENDATION
That the proposed plan for the extension of Kingscote Cemetery
be approved in principle and further that Council authorises the
CEO to commence negotiation with adjoining property owners on
land acquisitions and undertake road closure process in
accordance with the Road Opening & Closing Act.
BACKGROUND
Kingscote cemetery is almost full and with the recent site
clearance work done on the north western corner, the burial site
available will last only for few more years.
DISCUSSION
Accordingly, a concept plan has been developed with a view to
extend the existing site. The proposal which is shown on the
attached plans recommends the purchase of additional land from
the adjoining properties coloured in blue, road closures in yellow,
and road opening in green. Three (3) parcels of land owned by
Council for cemetery extensions are in orange colour. Combining
these additional parcels of land available for the extension, the
cemetery can be properly redeveloped.
The proposed road closures will also improve junction safety at
this location as well as providing opportunity for integrating the
existing Council owned land on both sides of the road into one.
Bullock Track approach at the intersection with Governor Wallen
Drive will need realigning to incorporate with the sealing of
Seaview Road extension to the boat ramp planned for the current
financial year as well as the closure to through traffic on Karatta
Terrace.
An action plan with nominated time frames and tasks for the
project is also provided in the report. The most important needs
doing this year is to negotiate with the adjoining property owners
in order to secure the land required for the extension, then follow
by physical works such as road closure and realignment, sealing
of Seaview Road extension, and perimeter fence installation.

Once the extra land is secured, the next step is to get the
community involved by inviting their input as part of the
redevelopment process as to how the site should be landscaped,
type of burials, cemetery facilities, etc.
13.5 TITLE: STORAGE SHED –
RECREATION & WASTE
SERVICES
AUTHOR:
DANIEL ROWLEY, TECHNICAL
SERVICES COORDINATOR
44
PURPOSE
To recommend the construction of a shed for the Green Team at
the Operations Centre within existing budget items.
RECOMMENDATION
That part of the Capital funds allocated in this years budget be
redirected to building a storage shed for the Recreation & Waste
Services.
BACKGROUND
Plant and equipment operated and maintained by the Green Team
is currently being stored in an inappropriate manner resulting in
an increased rate of degradation. The following are some
examples-
• Lawn Mowers (value in excess of $30K each) not being
protected undercover;
• Vehicle being stored outside;
• Tractor and mower not properly placed undercover
• Small equipment items scattered amongst other plant and
equipment items;
• Signs scattered all over the place;
• Toilet cleaning consumables being placed in a location that has
no door and is inadequate;
• Security of all plant and equipment is compromised;
• The current nursery is inadequate and results in many plants
not surviving.
DISCUSSION
As the security and caring of Council’s equipment and goods in
the Depot have higher priority, the upgrading of office facilities
at the Operations Centre would be more appropriate to be
deferred for future funding consideration.

The Green Team proposes to build a shed at the Works Depot to
relocate and house the following items from the capital budget set
aside for the Operations Centre’s Office during the current
financial year:
• Vehicle
• Tractor and mower
• Spray equipment
• All ride on mowers
• Small plant and equipment
• Signs and other small items
• Other Green Team specific items
The building will be a 4-bay, 12.2m x 7.5m x 4m shed with
lockable doors at a cost of $6,086 GST exclusive.
The concrete floor proposed can be funded from the remaining
funds and the existing operating budget for the purchase of ready
mix concrete with the construction being undertaken by in-house
staff.
The existing shed currently occupied by the Green Team will be
used to store the toilet consumables and dump materials. The
Blue Team will use the shed where the tractor and other small
Green Team items are currently stored.
The current Nursery will also be upgraded, using materials
surplus available at the site. This will ensure the staff have the
ability to manage plantings in an appropriate manner.
The provisions of the proposed storage facilities will ensure better
management and security of Council’s goods and assets.
13.6 REPORT TITLE: DOG & CAT MANAGEMENT
PLAN
AUTHOR:
DANIEL ROWLEY,TECHNICAL
SERVICES COORDINATOR
ATTACHMENTS: SUMMARY REPORT (UNDER
SEPARATE COVER)
45
PURPOSE
For adoption of the revised Dog and Cat Management Plan
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts the revised Dog and Cat Management Plan
for implementation.

46
BACKGROUND
The Draft Dog and Cat Management Plan released for public
comments closed on 18 July 2003.
DISCUSSION
Nineteen (19) written responses to the released Draft Dog and Cat
Management Plan have been received.
It was clear from the responses received that many people were
unaware of their requirements under the Dog and Cat
Management Act 1995. The first draft also did not have an Action
Plan and information on implementation cost.
Following the receipt of public comments, the plan was rewritten
to include the requirements under the Act, appropriate public
recommendations, an Action Plan and a summary of all public
comments. The plan is also rewritten so that actions required are
easier to follow.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
1. Financial/budget
The financial implications of implementing this plan are as
follows-
• Maintain existing budget
• Increase in 0.5FTE General Inspector- $20,000
(ongoing)
• Consumables (eg Traps)- $1,000 (ongoing)
• Council call out system- $5,000 (ongoing)
• Once of purchases for implementation- $15,000
2. Legal
As part of the review of Council Bylaws, recommendations
within this plan need to be incorporated into Bylaws.
13.7 REPORT TITLE: KINGSCOTE OVAL
AUTHOR:
KEN LIU, TSM
PURPOSE
To provide solutions regarding drainage problems on Kingscote
Oval as requested by Mayor Pengilly.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council seeks advice from a turf management expert on how
to improve the Oval surface.

47
BACKGROUND
The Kingscote Football Club President, Mr Green made an
accusation at the June meeting that Council staff cut or damaged
the existing sub-soil drains, while installing the automatic watering
system on the Oval, causing stormwater to pond on the playing
surface. Later, the allegation was proven to be unfounded.
The Kingscote Football Club did not accept the TSM’s response
to the Club’s accusation (documented in TSM Report Item No
13.3, meeting of 9/7/03), despite that the explanation was
accepted by the Council (refer to Minutes No 36.0).
The Football Club however, still maintains that the oval being
subjected to waterlogging is due to either a busted watering pipe
or blocked sub-surface drainage and has made further complaint
to the Mayor. As a result, Mayor Pengilly has requested for more
information because at present Council is getting the blame.
DISCUSSION
It was somewhat disappointing to receive the comments from the
Club despite explanation was given. While Council staff was
deeply embarrassed by the Club's action and did not expect an
apology, I do believe under this circumstance, staff should have at
least received support or respect from the community and Elected
Members.
In addition to the previous accusation of damage to sub-soil
drains, the Club now is alleging that the problem is the busted
water pipes installed by Council staff.
In my previous report, I advised that the current problems on the
Oval are obvious and the causes could be due to:
• Lack of hydraulic consideration in the design & construction
of the sub-soil drains;
• Excessive stormwater runoff onto the oval from the higher
area and lack of overall surface drainage management;
• Poor quality soil on Oval (only approximately 25mm of soil
with thick clay below);
• No maintenance/monitoring program in place for the sub-soil
drainage system; and
• The last four years have been relatively dry resulting reduction
in void ratio (ie allowing the water to get through to the filter
lay).
The above comment is my opinion without any laboratory test
information, whether Council or the Football Club wants to
accept it or not is not my call. Perhaps it may be in the best
interest of everyone, Council should obtain an independent
engineer report so that the accusation of any wrong doing by the
staff may be put to rest.

48
Clearly, the oval was badly built in the first place and if Council
is serious about fixing the surface, it will need to do the following
things properly:
1. Extend the existing kerbing to redirect the stormwater runoff
away from the Oval surface (as stormwater carries the fines or
clay and deposits onto the lower area of the Oval).
2. Make corrections to the oval levels to improve surface
drainage.
3. Replace the top layer of soil with suitable type or seek expert
advice to improve its permeability.
4. Undertake remedial works or install flashing points as
required to the existing sub-surface drainage system so that
effective maintenance program can be put in place.
No resources have been provided from the current budget to
rectify these problems. In any event, Council should seek advice
from a turf management specialist before deciding what is the
best course of action to address these problems.
13.8 REPORT TITLE: INDEPENDENCE POINT WALK-
AMERICAN RIVER
AUTHOR:
DANIEL ROWLEY, TECHNICAL
SERVICES COORDINATOR
PURPOSE
To provide information regarding contribution made by Council
to the Independence Point Walk at American River.
RECOMMENDATION
That the information be received.
BACKGROUND
The American River Progress Association, through Irene Halley,
has been developing a walking trail from Tangara Drive to
Independence Point near American River.
The group has undertaken a lengthy approval process to receive
permission for the construction of the walk. The organisations
involved included:
o Kangaroo Island Council
o National Parks and Wildlife SA (NPWSA)
o Native Vegetation Council
o Transport SA
Following the approval process the group marked the trail and
commenced the construction. Project Works were contacted and
asked to construct two bridges over some road culverts.

49
DISCUSSION
Kangaroo Island Council in conjunction with the American River
Progress Association applied for funding from the Coast
Protection Board in March 2003 and were successful in obtaining
funding for the materials.
Project Works were then used to undertake the construction of the
bridges in the appropriate locations to the design standards
developed by NPWSA on Kangaroo Island. Council contributed
extensively with logistics and the provision of some materials.
The completed works were undertaken to a high quality and to
the standards provided. The students involved were committed to
the project even though they were required to catch the Sealink
Shuttle Bus at 6:30am each morning.
This project is a good example of how Project Works can be used
to undertake small construction projects for community
organisations. The people leading Project Works will provide
students to project undertaken on any part of Kangaroo Island if
possible.
The American River Progress Association is looking at obtaining
sponsorship from organisations to provide seats along the trail.
Council has already supplied a seat as part of this initiative.
Following are some photos of the works undertaken and a copy of
the recent Islander article.

An innovative project is underway at
American River that will link Remembrance
Reserve and Independence Point with a
three kilometre walking trail.
The walkway is a joint effort between
Coastcare, Project Works, Kangaroo Island
Council, Kangaroo Island SeaLink,
Kangaroo Island Lions and a very keen
band of volunteers.
Coastcare have provided grant money for
the project, while Project Works, which
provides opportunities for local youth to
gain valuable employment skills, are
undertaking the construction of the walkway
that includes two creek crossings.
Volunteers who have dedicated their time
for the project include Irene Halley, Judy
and Dean Johnson, Nigel Humphrys, Tom
Appleby, Pauline Rattray, Jan Peachey and
Daniel Catmur (at just four years of age).
Sponsors are being sought to provide bench
seats along the walkway to take in the
sweeping views of Pelican Lagoon each of
whom will be acknowledged with a
commemorative plaque at the site of their
seat.
If you are interested in providing the $200
necessary for a seat please contact Irene
Halley on 8553 7337.

13.9 REPORT TITLE: KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL
LANDSCAPE AND FACILITIES
DESIGN PLAN
AUTHOR:
DANIEL ROWLEY, TECHNICAL
SERVICES COORDINATOR
51
PURPOSE
To advise Council of the cost associated with the development of
a Kangaroo Island Council Landscape and Facilities Design Plan
based on the plan developed by National Parks and Wildlife SA
on Kangaroo Island.
RECOMMENDATION
(1) That the report be received.
(2) That the development of a landscape and facilities design plan
for Council’s open space as outlined be considered in next
year’s budget and further that in the interim, Council adopts
similar approach as the NP&WS for implementation.
BACKGROUND
At the Kangaroo Island Council budget workshop, the Parks and
Community Services Coordinator was requested to obtain a
quotation for the development of a Kangaroo Island Council
Landscape and Facilities Design Plan.
Taylor and Cullity Pty Ltd, the company who developed the
NPWSA plan and has undertaken the majority of landscape
planning for NPWSA, were contacted and requested to provide a
quotation. The Council plan is to be developed using the NPWSA
planning brief as a starting point.
A Landscape and Facilities Design Plan will standardise all
facilities constructed on Council property ensuring a consistent
planning approach is taken for all facilities. It will also provide
the planning for many community groups resulting in their ability
to commence construction at the start of the project rather than
undertaking planning first.
DISCUSSION
Taylor and Cullity were provided with a “Scope of Works”
comprising two parts:
(1) Develop Facility Plans for the following facilities (Concept
followed by working drawings), including toilet, BBQ shelter,
shelter, camping, self registration station, sign shelter,
interpretation sign, sheltered seat and table, seat, table, memorial
seat, post and rail fence, low tension wire fence, vehicle barrier,
pedestrian barrier, road and path materials, duckboard, boardwalk,
revegetation fencing, lookout stone, lookout timber; and

52
(2) Develop Site Plans (concept followed by working drawings)
for the following sites (many will not require working
drawings as a concept is adequate) including Antechamber
Bay, Browns Beach, American River Campground and
Remembrance Reserve, Pennington Bay/Prospect Hill
precinct, Swimming Pool to Brownlow Walk, Stokes Bay
Camping and Day Visitor Area, Snellings Beach Day Visitor
Area, Western River Cove Day Visitor Area, Vivonne Bay
Campground, Duck Lagoon (inc campground), Baudin Beach
Reserves, Constitution Hill, American River Foreshore,
Vivonne Bay Surf Beach, Independence Point, Governor
Wallen, Pigs Head Corner, Kingscote Swimming Pool,
Muston Lookout, Flour Cask Bay, Sealink Warf to
Frenchmans Rock, Playford Highway Lookout, Hansen Bay
Day Visitor Area, Emu Bay Cemetery, August Fiebig
Monument, Corner South Coast and Birchmore Roads, Emu
Bay Day Visitor Area, American River Turn off, War
Services Land Settlement Monument.
The quotation is as follows-
Facilities-
Concept Plans $6,200
Working Drawings $9,700
Sites-
Concept Plans $15,400
Working Drawings $11,100
Disbursements-
Travel, accommodation etc $5,000
TOTAL
$47,400 + GST
The following reserves could be added to the list as required-
American River Reserve
Muston
Emu Bay Campground (at Cemetery)
Kingscote Entrance
Youth Park
Grassed area at the bottom of Penneshaw Hill
(Baudin Beach side)
The budget for this project is substantial however the benefits to
Council in the long term will be substantial as:
• The plan will provide a basis for external funding,
• Consistent design will be used across all reserves on
Kangaroo Island creating a high quality product,
• Enable community groups to easily implement projects to
Council Standards

The current “Reserves Budget” cannot fund this project so funds
from another source within the budget will need to be sought if
this project is to proceed.
It is possible to reduce the budget required to have the majority of
the project completed. Our suggestion would be-
Priority 1- Facilities working drawings
This will ensure all facilities on Council reserves are of a
consistent design and will provide community groups with
designs for the construction of the facilities.
Priority 2- Site Concept Plans
Many of the sites listed will only require Concept Plans for the
construction. The development of these will provide the
motivation for community groups to apply for funds to construct
these site plans.
Priority 3- Site working drawings
These drawings could be prioritised in blocks of 10 sites (as per
above) and budgeted in that way.
It is suggest that Priority 1 & 2 should be committed and
developed as part of a construction project.
The implementation of this project will require a substantial
amount of consultation with the community and elected members
it is therefore proposed that a “Steering Committee” consisting
the Parks and Community Services Coordinator and Two (2)
elected members, be established to deliver the project.
Key community representative would be involved in the site
appraisal for the development of Site Concept plans followed by
public presentations to the community. Once this has occurred
then the Site Working Drawings would be developed.
13.10 REPORT TITLE: WASTE MANAGEMENT
AUTHOR:
DANIEL ROWLEY, TECHNICAL
SERVICES COORDINATOR
53
PURPOSE
To advise Council on the direction waste management on
Kangaroo Island needs to take and the implementation plan.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council receives the report and acknowledges the
implications of this direction.

BACKGROUND
Numerous reports and information has been presented to Council
in relation to the costs and future directions of waste management
on Kangaroo Island. In summary the following is what has been
presented:
• Not viable for Kangaroo Island Council to manage a landfill
(whole of life) on Kangaroo Island;
• EPA approve for regional landfill on Kangaroo Island is very
unlikely;
• Legislative requirements to undertake recycling;
• High cost of future waste management services.
Maunsell is undertaking the future directions project which will
develop:
• a cost comparison model on landfill on KI vs transport to
mainland,
• a Closure and Post Closure Plan for Kingscote Landfill,
• a Groundwater Monitoring Program for Kingscote Landfill, and
• best practice designs for Transfer Stations.
The May 03 Council Meeting resolved that the “2001 Integrated
Waste Management Plan” be modified to meet the needs of waste
management services on Kangaroo Island.
As part of the formation of Zero Waste SA and the passage of the
Zero Waste SA Bill 2003 a “State Waste Strategy” will be
developed. Funding from Zero Waste SA will only be available if
the project is a part of the strategy.
DISCUSSION
While the concept at face value may not seem an option, the cost
of transporting waste to the mainland is comparable to managing
a landfill on Kangaroo Island. The costs of managing a landfill
goes well beyond placing waste in the cell and could last for over
100 years following dumping if impacts on the environment
occur.
It is anticipated the actual cost comparison model, transporting to
mainland vs managing landfill on Kangaroo Island, will be
presented to Council at the October meeting. Early indications
suggest the cost is approximately the same.
Primarily all waste, except green waste and building and
demolition (soil, concrete etc), under this model will be
transported to the mainland for recycling or landfill. In summary
it is proposed to modify the Integrated Waste Management Plan
to incorporate the concepts. Many of these concepts will need to
be introduced, even if a landfill is managed on Kangaroo Island,
as there is a legislative requirement and cost incentives to
undertake recycling programs.
54

55
Kerbside Collection
Introduce a Kerbside Recyclable Collection Service by
undertaking the following:
• Modify existing 240L bins to become “split” bins, one side for
recyclables and one for landfill waste. A divider is all that is
required to be purchased
• Trade the “blue” truck in for a compactor truck that takes both
recyclables and normal waste
• No green waste in kerbside collection
• No glass products in kerbside collection. Glass breaks in
compactors and cannot be removed contaminating the products
• Similar bin collection procedures for public places introduced
Transfer Stations
Kingscote (or Penneshaw) will become the primary transfer
station where all waste (except green waste and soil and concrete)
is processed for transportation to the mainland. The following is
to occur:
• Large Skip bins introduced for waste transfer operations
• “White” truck traded in for a flat bed truck to take skip bins
• All products sorted and fee incentives introduced if the public
sort prior to arrival at the transfer stations
• Purchase a “baler” to compact all types of waste for transfer to
mainland, may not be required if provided by a company
• Purchase a “loader” to assist in moving waste over the
Kingscote site, does not need to be new or in an extremely
good condition
• All sites become undercover with specific areas (bins) for each
product
• Partnerships developed with recycling companies and local
businesses
• Community run small transfer stations established for
American River and Vivonne Bay to take what is not collected
via kerbside collection (primarily green waste and glass)
• Install a weigh bridge at the Kingscote (or Penneshaw)
Transfer Station to measure incoming and outgoing waste
which will reduce our EPA levy
• Implement a Green Waste composting program
• Appoint a Waste Overseer to oversee all day to day waste
management on KI with a corresponding increase in the
reserves budget to offset the reserve budget implications.
Commercial Waste
Large businesses will be encouraged to have large skips, as per
above, to collect their recyclable waste. Council will then collect
at a cost recovery fee. The objectives of this major shift in the
way waste is managed are:

• Reduce the amount of waste going to landfill. This will enable
Kangaroo Island to use landfills on Fleurieu Peninsula for a
longer period of time, reducing the transport costs and landfill
costs. There is also legislative responsibilities and cost
incentives to undertake this action
• Make the collection and transport of waste efficient and cost
effective
• Reduce the amount of contaminants being placed with the
recyclables
• Reduce the long term financial, social and environmental
burden of landfill management on the Kangaroo Island
community.
The cost of this major shift in the way waste is managed on
Kangaroo Island will be high. Some of the up front capital costs
maybe funded from external sources, eg Zero Waste SA however
this cannot be guaranteed so the budget will need to be
committed to the program and if not spent then the excess
returned to the general pool. This is the way the 2003/04 budget
will be managed. The waste management budget also needs to be
all encompassing, not subject to other budgets, eg plant purchases
and replacement, wages and other capital costs and these costs
will need to be included in the budget.
History, from other Councils, has shown that every person wants
recycling but are not prepared to pay through rates. Councils who
undertake major marketing programs are successful in
introducing recycling programs. Elected members and Council
staff will need to support this change to ensure it is successful.
This will need to be backed up with media promotion.
The revised Integrated Waste Management Plan will have an
“Action Plan” and a “Financial Plan” and is anticipated to be
presented to Council for consideration as part of the 2004/05
budget process. Once endorsed by Council the budget will need
to ensure that the program can be implemented fully. It is
anticipated that the implementation of this change will be
completed by 1 July 2006 or 1 July 2007 depending on what is
required from a budget perspective.
Zero Waste SA primary function involves “Resource Recovery”
or recycling programs. Zero Waste SA funding is determined by
the priorities in the “State Waste Strategy”. As the strategy is still
to be developed Kangaroo Island must be involved in the
development of this strategy and ensure our unique situation is
catered for.
56

It has been shown that if Council is moving in the direction the
EPA wish things to happen, Council will not be placed under the
spotlight. However if change is resisted, then the EPA will place
the legislative requirements on the Council and will back this up
with prosecution.
14.0 CORPORATE & COMMUNITY SERVICES REPORTS
Your Worship Mayor Pengilly and Councillors, I submit the
following Reports for the Ordinary Meeting of Council to be held
on Wednesday 10 September 2003.
Moved Cr
That the Corporate & Community Services Reports be received.
CARRIED.
14.1 REPORT TITLE: OBJECTION TO ATTRIBUTION
OF LAND USE CODE
AUTHOR:
MICHAEL BARRETT, RATES
OFFICER
FILE NUMBER: 123
ATTACHMENT: CORRESPONDENCE
PURPOSE
To consider an objection to the attribution of land use code
applied to Mr & Mrs Dieckmann’s property at Section 155,
Juniper Road, Hundred of Menzies.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council alter the land use code to applied to A/N 5201580403
to become residential for the 2003/2004 financial year.
BACKGROUND
Under section 156 of the Local Government Act a Council may
use differential rates which may vary according to the use of the
land. For the purposes of section 156 of the Act there are 9
categories of land use under the Local Government Regulations
declared as permissible differentiating factors.
The Local Government Act under section 156(9) enables a
ratepayer to object to the attribution of the local government land
use code applied if they are of the opinion that a particular land
use has been wrongly attributed.
DISCUSSION
Mr & Mrs Dieckmann have objected to the land use code of 7
‘primary production’ and wish to have their property reclassified
as ‘1’ residential. Under the Local Government Regulations 1999
primary production comprises ‘farming, horticulture, the use of
land for horse keeping or intensive animal keeping, a dairy or
commercial forestry’ all of which are as defined within the
meaning of the Development Regulations 1993.
57

58
On inspection of the 4.6 acre property and discussing the issue
with the Dieckmann's it is clear that none of these activities are
being undertaken on their property. As they have mentioned in
their correspondence they have had a few sheep run on their
property on occasion to reduce the grass for fire reduction. I
would not determine this to be ‘farming’.
It should also be noted this property appears inconsistent with
others of similar circumstance in the area.
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
1. Financial/Budget
A reclassification of land use to residential would result in less
rates being charged on the Dieckmann’s property.
2. Legal
Section 156 of the Local Government Act enables Council to
alter a land use code on objection.
14.2 REPORT TITLE: BOARD RESTRUCTURING
AUTHOR:
A. JARVIS, CORPORATE AND
COMMUNITY SERVICES
MANAGER
FILE NUMBER:
ATTACHMENTS:
PURPOSE
To inform Council of progress with regard to the provision of
secretariat functions for the various Boards.
RECOMMENDATION
That the report on Board restructuring be received for
information.
BACKGROUND
The SA Government has the perception that there are too many
boards within the State structure and that duplication of both
services and administration detracts from the ability of the Boards
to ensure a coordinated, cooperative effective delivery of
services.
Given the Island’s unique position being separate from other
similar organisations, remote and with a small population it was
considered timely to investigate the various roles of the Board’s
and their administrative structures so that any economies of scale
can be achieved and duplication of effort reduced.

The committee charged with investigating these matters have met
on a number of occasions and various alternatives considered.
Whilst there is general consensus that outsourcing corporate
governance matters for the Boards to Kangaroo Island Council
had merit the committee members had differing views on the
proposed structures placed before them. It was agreed therefore
that Mr Joe Collins, who has been involved with the strategic
plans for both the boards and Council, be invited to review the
plans and carry out a SWOT analysis for the island. This project
is to be funded by the Office of Regional Affairs with a report to
be submitted prior to the end of September.
DISCUSSION
For information only.
14.3 REPORT TITLE: PUBLIC STREET LIGHTING
REVIEW
AUTHOR:
A. JARVIS, CORPORATE AND
COMMUNITY SERVICES
MANAGER
FILE NUMBER: 101
59
PURPOSE
To update Council on the status of contract arrangements relative
to the Street Lighting use of System (SLUOS) charges.
RECOMMENDATION
That the report on public street lighting review be received for
information.
BACKGROUND
The public lighting steering committee of the Local Government
Association have raised a number of concerns with ETSA
Utilities Street lighting Use of System (SLUOS) charges for
public lighting. The LGA raised these concerns with the Essential
Services Commission of South Australia (ESCOSA) and the LGA
has been informed that ESCOSA will review the street lighting
use of system charges for public lighting.
DISCUSSION
The Local Government Association wrote to ESCOSA on 20 th
June 2003 in regard to concerns the Association has with two
excluded distribution services and the charges levied in respect of
these services namely Pole attachment and the operation and
maintenance of public lighting. The LGA has sought ESCOSA’s
determination on whether the charges for these excluded services
are fair and reasonable.

Following a meeting between the LGA and ESCOSA is was
confirmed that a dispute has occurred between councils and
ETSA Utilities. In view of the existence of this dispute ESCOA
will determine a timeline for a review and will inform Councils
through the LGA of the outcome of their review
14.4 REPORT TITLE: SALE OF LAND AT CENTENARY
AVENUE, KINGSCOTE
AUTHOR:
A. JARVIS, CORPORATE AND
COMMUNITY SERVICES
MANAGER
FILE NUMBER: 041
ATTACHMENTS: LETTER
60
PURPOSE
To consider a review of the price requested for the sale of this
parcel of land.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council give consideration to a reduction in the sale price
for this property.
BACKGROUND
Council was asked to give “in principle” support for the sale of
this piece of land for the purposes of a potential development
application. Following this agreement Council engaged a valuer
to offer advice as to the current market value of this land and
following submission of the valuer’s appraisal set a price of
$90,000.
The potential purchasers consider that the price set by Council is
excessive and would ask that Council consider a revised offer of
$50,000.
DISCUSSION
The prospective purchasers have submitted a development
application for tourist accommodation on this site and have asked
to purchase this block in order to ensure that there is sufficient
land available to them to enable units to be developed and
adequate landscaping to be built into the development. Should
they not be able to acquire the land at a reasonable cost they will
consider reducing the number of units to 12 (the current proposal
is to build 14 units) and also reduce the level of landscaping over
the entire project.

14.8 REPORT TITLE: KINGSCOTE TIDAL POOL
AUTHOR:
A. JARVIS, CORPORATE AND
COMMUNITY SERVICES
MANAGER
FILE NUMBER: 047
PURPOSE
To inform Council of recent complaints regarding the Kingscote
Tidal swimming pool.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council resolve to carry out major maintenance works on
the pool and to make financial provision for such works.
BACKGROUND
The tidal swimming pool in Kingscote has not been drained and
cleaned for some years and is now subject of a number of
complaints regarding both the quality of water and retention of
solids within the structure. Whilst the water in the pool is
replenished with each tidal flow the very nature of the pool
enclosure precludes the flushing of solid matter and encourages
the gradual build up of sludge and algae. The number and nature
of complaints now requires consideration by Council as to the
most effective manner in which to remedy this situation and to
prepare the pool for the summer swimming season.
DISCUSSION
The staff of the Technical Services Department have suggested a
number of options available to Council in respect of this matter
and have submitted these options for consideration and approval.
Option 1 - Engage contractors involved with the Christmas Cove
development to pump out and desludge the pool at an estimated
cost of $30,000.
Option 2 - Engage a pool cleaning company from Adelaide to
clean and prepare the pool at an estimated cost of $20,000; or
Option 3 - Utilise Council’s own workforce (subject to the
availability of plant, equipment and personnel) Close the pool,
Empty water out (pump), Use excavator to remove silt, Cart away
with our trucks, Put sand back (30 x truck loads). This would be
in the order of $5000 to $10,000 however as this is not a project
previously considered by the Technical Services Department may
not be achievable within a reasonable timeframe. Current
budgetary provision for pool maintenance 2003/2004 $7000.

14.12 REPORT TITLE: EXTENSIONS TO AGED CARE
FACILITY, KANGAROO ISLAND
HEALTH SERVICE
AUTHOR:
A. JARVIS, CORPORATE AND
COMMUNITY SERVICES
MANAGER
FILE NUMBER: 027
ATTACHMENTS: CORRESPONDENCE
PURPOSE
To consider the proposal to extend the realignment of Wheelton
Street.
RECOMMENDATION
That the extension of the realignment of Wheelton Street as
requested by the Kangaroo Island Health Service be approved.

BACKGROUND
When the hospital was extended some years ago the extension
encroached on the road reserve in Wheelton Street. Council, at
that time, agreed to the realignment of the road to accommodate
the new extension of the hospital.
The Kangaroo Island Health service has now received approval to
construct a 6 bed extension to the high level aged care
accommodation unit and have asked that Council favourably
respond to their request for the extension to encroach onto the
road reserve.
DISCUSSION
The attached plan shows that the requested realignment follows
the same line as previously agreed and would provide a natural
extension of the current alignment to the existing driveway. As
such it is recommended that Council approves the encroachment
and requests the CCSM to arrange for this portion of the road
reserve to be made available to the health service.

15.0 CHIEF EXECUTIVE REPORTS

following reports for the Ordinary Meeting of Council to be held
on Wednesday 10 September 2003.

That the Chief Executive Officer’s reports be received.
CARRIED.
15.1 REPORT TITLE: INVESTMENT PROPOSALS
COMMITTEE
AUTHOR:
R RATTRAY, CEO
FILE NUMBER: 149
68
PURPOSE
To establish a Committee to look at investment proposals
received.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council establish an Investment Advisory Committee with
the responsibility to encourage investors to submit realistic
proposals to comprise of the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Development
Assessment Panel Chairperson, Chief Executive Officer and an
Officer of the KI Development Board as required.
BACKGROUND
Council asked that the Chief Executive Officer prepare a report
for Council on establishing a Committee to look at all investment
proposals received for Kangaroo Island.
Some Councils have a Committee which progresses potential
investment proposals.
DISCUSSION
Development enquiries are often made to the senior staff. It is not
proposed that this Committee would take all enquiries but to
consult with investors who wish to take their enquiries further.
This Committee is not to be seen as making a decision but merely
to encourage investors to submit realistic proposals.
It is my belief that such a Committee should comprise of the
Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Development Assessment Panel
Chairperson, Chief Executive Officer and an Officer of the KI
Development Board as required.

ATTACHMENT: LETTER FROM DC YORKE
PENINSULA
PURPOSE
Recreation boating levy (increase).
RECOMMENDATION
That Council write to the SA Boating Facility Advisory
Committee (SABFAC) seeking a review of boating levy charges
and maintenance funding to local Governments.
BACKGROUND
The Southern & Hills Local Government Association have been
asked to provide comment on the attached letters. S&H LGA
suggested that individual Councils respond as not all Councils has
coastline.
DISCUSSION
Many Councils are now imposing a user charge fee on boat
ramps. If Councils can’t receive some certainty of funding from
SABFAC to maintain boat ramps, this Council will need to
explore this avenue. However, we should in the first instance seek
a review which incorporates a certainty of funding to local
Councils from the SABFAC.

Crown selling Section 376, Hundred of Haines. The Department
of Crown Lands require Council to consult with the community.

DISCUSSION
Council does not own the land and will receive no benefit from its
sale. The area of land (adjacent to the Hog Bay Road/Min Oil

FILE NUMBER: 041
ATTACHMENT: 8/903 CORRESPONDENCE
PURPOSE

enable KI Oyster Growers Association to establish a processing
shed.
RECOMMENDATION
For Council comment.

Association.

Nepean Bay.

- this meeting may seek assistance from the

16.9 CORRESPONDENT: KESAB - SIGNAGE, PARNDANA
AUTHOR:
PATRICK MITCHELL,
PLANNING OFFICER
FILE NUMBER: 031
ATTACHMENT: 9/903 CORRESPONDENCE
PURPOSE
Council has received correspondence by the KESAB Road Watch
Co-ordinator seeking consent to allow for the placement of a sign
on the Wedgewood Road reserve opposite the Parndana
Community Club, being on land under the care and control of
Council.
This matter is referred to Council for consideration of the
proposal and approval to allow for the placement of the sign
being on land under the care and control of Council should
Council be satisfied with the proposal.

77
RECOMMENDATION
That Council consent to the lodgement of a Development
Application pursuant to the Development Act 1993, to allow for
the placement of a sign on the Wedgewood Road reserve, being
land under the care and control of Council.
DISCUSSION
The correspondence seeks consent to allow for the placement of
two signs within the Parndana Township. One sign is proposed to
be placed on the Parndana Area School fence fronting
Wedgewood Road and the other sign is proposed to be placed on
the Wedgewood Road reserve opposite the hotel.
The correspondence advises that the signs:
• are designed and approved by Transport SA;
• are manufactured and paid by KESAB;
• are provided by KESAB to reward community organisations
in their efforts; and
• keep the road litter message in the public eye.
However, the correspondence does not provide any detail on the
type of signage proposed (i.e. colour, size anchoring detail, et
cetera...).
POLICY IMPLICATIONS
While the one sign is proposed to be located on State
Government land and is therefore exempt from assessment
process, the other sign is proposed to be located on land under the
care and control of Council and constitutes development under
the Development Act 1993.
The proposal does not comply with Council’s existing Signage
Policies or constitute traffic warning or directional signage under
the Road Traffic Act.
The proposal has been facilitated to encourage the local Area
School to maintain litter control, roadside vegetation and report
on roadside safety issues. Given the local Area Schools
involvement in the project the proposal would appear to be of a
minor nature only and unlikely to be the subject of objection from
the owners or occupiers of land in the locality.
Therefore, should Council consent to the lodgement of the
application, it is likely that Council officers will be able to
proceed with the assessment and approval of the application.
Council’s Technical Services Manager has advised that he has no
objection to the proposal and will erect the sign if requested and
approved by Council.

78
CONCLUSION
Should Council therefore be satisfied with the proposal it is
recommended that Council consent to the lodgement of an
application, thereby allowing the assessment of a Development
Application to proceed.

AUTHOR:

FILE NUMBER: 147
ATTACHMENTS: 11/903 CORRESPONDENCE
PURPOSE
To support the development of a feasibility cost study for waste
management on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
RECOMMENDATION
That $10,000 be allocated to the feasibility study on waste
disposal options within the Fleurieu Peninsula from the Kingscote
Landfill budget.

BACKGROUND
Council is undertaking a cost study to develop a cost comparison
model between managing waste of Kangaroo Island v’s
transporting the waste to the mainland.
The minutes of the last Fleurieu Regional Waste Management
Strategy Committee (enclosed in the Council agenda) refer to this
correspondence.
DISCUSSION
A waste feasibility cost study, in collaboration with the Fleurieu
Peninsula Councils, will assist Kangaroo Island in developing the
best model for managing waste in our region.
Managing waste in collaboration with the Fleurieu Peninsula will
ensure there is enough waste available for the management of
landfills to be cost effective. The quantity will also enable
negotiations to be undertaken with landfill and recycling
companies to make cost savings and efficiencies.
This study is critical to the future of waste management in our
region.

AUTHOR:

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
FILE NUMBER: 077
ATTACHMENTS: 29/903 CORRESPONDENCE
PURPOSE
Council representative at KI Natural Resources Board meetings.
RECOMMENDATION
For Council consideration.
BACKGROUND
Council has resolved that the Chief Executive Officer is the
nomination for the KI Natural Resources Board with the
Environmental Services Manager as his proxy.
DISCUSSION
Both the Chief Executive Officer and Environmental Services
Manager have found the last few meetings difficult to attend and
have sent the Health Officer.
This Committee (KINRB) is in my opinion a very important
organisation. Thus Council may wish to alter its representation as
KINRB perceive we have not attended regularly.
Both the Environmental Services Manager and I are committed to
attending as regularly as possible.

LATE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT TO THE
COUNCIL MEETING HELD 10 SEPTEMBER 2003
15.7 REPORT TITLE: CHRISTMAS COVE -
MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
AUTHOR:
R RATTRAY, CEO
FILE NUMBER: 124
PURPOSE
To establish a Christmas Cove Management Committee.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council establish a Christmas Cove Management
Committee as a Section 41 Committee to comprise of the
Mayor, two Councillors being ………………. &
…………………., Chief Executive Officer and three
community representatives.
BACKGROUND
In December 2002 I floated the idea of establishing a committee
to manage the proposed new marina.
With construction about to start it is now the right time to
establish a management committee.
DISCUSSION
Although it is not planned to have Christmas Cove fully
established as a marina, it is appropriate that a committee
establish initial ground rules.
It is envisaged that the committee would establish its aims, goals
and objectives plus establish policies etc for marina usage. The
Committee must ensure that this area is not a continual drain on
Council’s resources and at the lease is cost neutral. In addition,
Council should be the predominant membership holder.
Council should target the community representators who would
have an interest in the Boat Club/recreational fishing.

LATE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S REPORT TO THE
COUNCIL MEETING HELD 10 SEPTEMBER 2003
15.8 REPORT TITLE: COMMERCIAL LAND - THE LANE,
PENNESHAW
AUTHOR:
R RATTRAY, CEO
FILE NUMBER: 041
PURPOSE
The release of Crown Land.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council authorises the Chief Executive Officer to have
discussions with various Government departments
regarding the Crown selling land adjacent to The
Lane, Penneshaw.
BACKGROUND
Council’s new Development Plan enables commercial activities
to occur on The Lane, Penneshaw.
A public meeting was held on 1 st September at Penneshaw
seeking community comment. Various questions were asked and
it was decided prior to finalising the acquisition of the land
further consultation would occur.
DISCUSSION
To enable the Crown to dispose of the land, Council should
progress its discussions with the Crown Lands Department, but
still recognising its commitment to the community.
My answers follow each question.
The questions raised are:
If a commercial zone was established allowing for heavy vehicle parking, could
Council ban heavy vehicle parking in town
Yes
Could Council buy and rent out the land
Yes, however I believe other options would better suit the
use of this site.
Minimum size of commercial blocks
At least 1200m 2 to accommodate STEDS but subject to
use.

Would The Lane be upgraded and appropriate drainage installed
I believe Council would look at all these matters with the
creation of commercial allotments.
What kind of water treatment and wash down area would be required
The EPA guidelines and requirements would be adhered
to.
Could land be set aside for commercial business at present in the town, to
relocate Ordways garage and pumps [could land up near the cemetery (2
acres) be set aside]
Town Centre - yes. Cemetery - no (cemetery reserve)
Residential zone is non complying
What if Council can not afford to buy the land from the Crown
An option available to Council may be, to buy, subdivide,
improve road etc and sell off surplus land to Council’s
requirements.
How much of the sand hill would be removed
Approximately 50m from roadway.
Would Council draw up the bylaws to force trucks and coaches to park and
wash down in the zoned area
Council may establish bylaws and/or parking controls to
assist with traffic management of the town.
How many trucks and buses would be parked there at any one time
This would depend on the size allocated for parking.
Would Council buy the whole area in question, develop staging area in part for
trucks and buses and sell off the rest at a profit to cover outlays
This is an option available to Council.
It is my opinion that the Penneshaw community is quite
supportive of this commercial zone and would like to see a
sensible development. However, an undertaking was given to
consult further. It is also important that Council continues
preliminary discussions with the various Government
departments and not let the matter stall.
