Council undertook toinstall signage at critical areas around the district, alerting motorists to theincreased presence of wildlife.To reduce the problem that is most evident on the Hindmarsh Island approach tothe bridge, a low ( 900mm) mesh fence on either side of the road off the verge,and placed through or behind existing vegetation would restrict access to theroad. If this were to extend about 80 metres from the bridge it would create aphysical barrier for the birds and reduce the alarming mortality rate (localresidents suggested that upward of 70 birds have been killed in the last year).By discreetly placing the fence through and around vegetation, the visualamenity impact would be minimised.ACMM82Moved Cr Beckett seconded Cr Reedman that Council support theinstallation of appropriate fencing adjacent to the Hindmarsh IslandBridge, subject to concurance with RAMSAR.CARRIEDAlexandrina CouncilMinutes of Council MeetingHeld on Monday 7 th July 20039

Previously, regulators have tried to setacceptable limits to assess nuisance from noise. This is difficult because of therange of sources and factors that influence how people react to noise including;• Level of noise• Frequency (pitch) of the sound• How long the noise occurs• Whether it is predictable• Tonal nature of noise• Time of day noise occurs• The activities of the person affected and the noise• Familiarity with the noise and its purpose• A fear of the noise• The persons opinion of the sourceThe objectives of the policy are for “the government, business and generalcommunity to benefit from the adoption of effective noise policy”Cont/…Alexandrina CouncilMinutes of Council MeetingHeld on Monday 7 th July 200312

ALEXANDRINA COUNCIL6.4 DRAFT ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION ( NOISE) POLICY ANDEXPLANATORY REPORT & DRAFT ENVIRONMENT NOISE GUIDELINESFOR AUDIBLE BIRD SCARERS.The use of gas guns and other audible bird scaring devices is an emotive issueand one creating considerable angst. In an area where vineyards are anexpanding part of our rural economic base, it could be argued that in somecircumstances their use us a legitimate and reasonable part of the operator ofthe vineyard.If you were living nearby and not associated with the industry youmay not share this view.

Various control methods have been employed todeter the birds and limit damage which has been ongoing in the SoldiersMemorial Gardens, ranging from deterrents such as fright kites and gas guns, totrapping and shooting. We have sought advice from the relevant Governmentagencies and are in fact a partner with Onkaparinga Council and the Dept. ofEnvironment (abundant species group) in a research project looking at the trendsand movement of little Corella flocks in the Fleurieu Peninsular.Large numbers of birds have started congregating in Milang, (from late summer)and it is highly likely that they will continue to do so. The reports we havereceived so far indicate nuisance value, (noise and debris), potentialhazards(debris on ground), damage to trees in both the Council and privategardens, and damage to property. (telephone lines, boat sails, etc)Councils control program is for works in Strathalbyn. Works in other areas havenot previously been funded. The issue of what, if any control actions occur inMilang, should be discussed so that the community supports these actions whenthey occur.The issue of abundant bird species management is a highly emotive one, andfrom our (and others) experience it is rarely an easy task, and one which mayevoke a potentially extreme reaction.Alexandrina CouncilMinutes of Council MeetingHeld on Monday 7 th July 2003Cont/…14

ALEXANDRINA COUNCIL6.6 Water Conservation PolicyFile Ref: 2.010.001Cont/…Council can play its part in promoting water conservation by requiring all newresidential building construction and any bathroom/toilet extension work toexisting residential buildings to install:• a rainwater tank of no less capacity than 1000 litres.• a 6/3 litre dual flush toilet system• aerating or low flow showerheadswhere connected to mains water. We are not promoting use of rainwater fordrinking.Annual average water savings will amount to approximately 40,000 litres peryear per residence for the above initiatives. With savings in water use bills, thepay back time is approximately 5 years or less if the price of water increases.Council is also a willing partner with the community and is to install meters onpumps and bores, undertake a review of watering parks and reserves andchange operational practices for road construction and road maintenance. Anaction plan will be put to Council for adoption.The use of rainwater for drinking is a personal choice and often not promoted byenvironmental health bodies based on potential contamination. Council canhowever safely promote the use of rainwater for the watering of gardens andwashing down of vehicles.This policy will contribute to the reduction of stormwater discharges in urbanareas by promoting water collected on the roof to fill a tank first before enteringstormwater drains. Such a move conforms with not only the EnvironmentalProtection Authority’s Stormwater Best Practice procedures but also the recentState Government’s Water Conservation Policy and links with many other plansand studies as listed.ACMM78Moved Cr Featherston seconded Cr Beckett1.That Council adopt the Alexandrina Council Water Conservation Policywhich will require all new residential building construction and anybathroom/toilet extension work in existing buildings to install:[a] a rainwater storage/system of no less capacity than 1000 litres (but notfor drinking purposes).[b] a 6/3 litre dual flush toilet system and[c] aerating or low flow showerheads where connected to mains water.b)Council to investigate introducing such development controls in theforthcoming Residential Plan Amendment Report.c) Council to adopt best practice water conservation measures asdetermined in the attached Alexandrina Council Water Conservation Policyand prepare an Action Plan for ratification by Council.Alexandrina CouncilMinutes of Council MeetingHeld on Monday 7 th July 2003CARRIED16

Principal concerns related to large planing hull crafttravelling past the Marinas and leaving a stern wave estimated to be betweenone half and one metre in height, subsequently affecting moored boats within theMarinas.The matter was referred to the Marine Group, Transport SA, in relation to thepolicing of speed limits along sections of the River Murray. It was suggested thata meeting could be convened by Council inviting key stakeholders in Goolwa todiscuss this matter and possible options, including:1. A “no wash” area from the bridge to either New Orleans Street or Laffin’sPoint.2. A split channel, 4 knots from the bridge to New Orleans Street or Laffin’sPoint.3. a 4 knot speed limit only from the bridge to either New Orleans Street orLaffin’s Point.4. leave as is.Cont/…Alexandrina CouncilMinutes of Council MeetingHeld on Monday 7 th July 200324

ALEXANDRINA COUNCIL8.1 River Murray Speed Zone - Liverpool RoadFile Ref: 2.030.012Cont/…A meeting was convened to discuss this matter on 26 th March 2003. Invitationswere extended to various groups and interested parties, including Transport SAMarine Safety Group, marina operators, cruise tour operators, BoatingAssociation of S.A., Jet Sprint Boating Association, yacht and aquatic clubrepresentatives, River Murray Boat Owners Association, Goolwa Ratepayers &Ratepayers Association and others.The meeting recommended to Council that consideration be given to anamendment to the existing Restricted Area 2. That it be extended and includethe marked channel of Liverpool Road 100 metres upstream of the bridge, toNew Orleans Street, with existing Controls 2 and 5 to apply.The current Restricted Area 2 extends 60 metres from the embankment ofLiverpool Road and has a speed restriction of 4 knots over the area.The controls over Restricted Area 2 are defined as follows:Control 2Control 5“A person must not operate a vessel fitted with an engine inthe specified waters at a speed in excess of 4 knots or in aplaning attitude”.“A person must not ski, aquaplane or be towed in any othermanner by a vessel in the specified waters at a speed inexcess of 4 knots”.Council requested public comment on the proposal in accordance with the PublicConsultation Policy.ReportThere has been significant interest in relation to this proposal. A petition hasbeen received with 194 signatures objecting to the imposition of a 4 knot speedlimit for the channel of the River Murray between the Hindmarsh Island Bridgeand New Orleans Street. Of the 194 signatures, 79 reside in the AlexandrinaCouncil area and 115 have indicated residential addresses outside our area.A total of 80 written submissions have been received and have beensummarised and attached for elected members information.

ALEXANDRINA COUNCIL8.1 River Murray Speed Zone - Liverpool RoadFile Ref: 2.030.012Cont/…The majority comment is clearly against the proposal and is probably bestsummarised as points raised in a Petition which is included in the agenda.1. It is discriminatory as it is designed to protect boats moored in commercialmarinas which have failed to provide adequate protection for the vesselsmoored within their lease area and it seems unreasonable to restrict thegeneral use of the river to the boating community.2. It will not solve the wash problem which is the basis of the request for a 4knot speed limit as many boats create an extensive wash even at slowspeed.3. It will be difficult to police as many boat owners do not have the facility tocheck the speed of their boat.4. It is difficult to control the speed of sailing boats (which produce very littlewake) and it is unreasonable to restrict their use of that part of the riverwhen wash is the cause for concern.5. It will extend the time that cruise boat operators have to spend traversingthat section of the river.The petitioners have suggested and believe:[a][b][c]that the existing 60 metre 4 knot zone is inadequate given that themarinas situated on this part of the river have encroached into that zonethus affecting its effectiveness.that the existing zone be extended to 100 metres and the remainingchannel area be left restriction free.that the existing regulations (4 knots within 30 metres of a jetty or wharfand within 30 metres of a vessel which will be adversely affected bywash) coupled with an extension of the existing zone, an educationprogramme and more policing will have the effect of reducing the washproblem significantly.Alexandrina CouncilMinutes of Council MeetingHeld on Monday 7 th July 2003Cont/…26

ALEXANDRINA COUNCIL8.1 River Murray Speed Zone - Liverpool RoadFile Ref: 2.030.012Cont/…The suggestion that the existing Restricted Area 2 60 metre zone be increasedto 100 metres was discussed at the meeting held on the 26 th March 2003,however, was felt at the time that there may still be confusion over the extendedzone.The effectiveness of extending Restricted Area 2 from 60 metres to 100 metreswould only be realised if:• The area is clearly identified by 4 knot buoys,• The area is policed by Marina Safety, regularly• Appropriate signage at launching sites• Education program through the media and flyers distributed to boaties atspecified times throughout the year.Extending Restricted Area 2 to 100 metres would leave the remaining channelas an open speed zone. The suggestion has merit and I believe should beconsidered by Council.Any recommendation for change to Restriction Area 2 can only be approved bythe Minister for Transport, responsible for regulations under the Marine andHarbors Act. The Minister would need to be satisfied that appropriatecommunity consultation was carried out in relation to any recommendation tochange the existing Regulations.If Council considers alternatives to the advertised proposal, it is suggested thatCouncil should re-advertise in accordance with its Public Consultation Policy.ACMM74Moved Cr Davis seconded Cr Potter1.

I am ledto believe that in the 1970’s, the R.S.L. constructed an addition to theirbuilding containing a bar, kitchen and office. The addition encroachedupon Laurie Lane without the title being adjusted accordingly.The anomaly should be rectified with a portion of Laurie Lane closed andmerged with the R.S.L. Allotment 235.The Goolwa R.S.L. Allotment 235 represents approximately 1216M 2 . Theencroachment onto Laurie Lane represents approximately 110 M 2 andbased on current assessment of vacant land, would represent a value of$27,000, however, it is unlikely that the encroachment attached to Lot 235would increase the value of the land by that amount.A search of Council records has failed to realise correspondence betweenthe parties in relation to the encroachment.The R.S.L. are requesting Council concede the alterations to the buildingso that their title can be amended if they have to sell the property andmove to larger premises.2.

ALEXANDRINA COUNCIL11.5 Community BusFile Ref: 1.138.002Cont/…The net cost to Council of the Goolwa community bus has generally beenbetween $20,000 and $25,000 each financial year (this includes ABC costs).This must be weighed against the community service that it provides. For Terms1, 2 and 3 of the 2002/03 financial year the bus transported a total number of8,814 students to and from school within the Goolwa township. For communityuse during the 2002/03 financial year, the bus has been used on a regular basisfor:• Southern Fleurieu Health Service – Aboriginal Health outings• Church of Christ – youth outings• Whalers Housing – social community outings• Goolwa Primary SchoolFor community use, we charge 95 cents per kilometer travelled and the groupmust provide a licensed bus driver.In conjunction with SCOTS and the Passenger Transport Board (PTB), Councilis involved in a South Coast Study into transport needs and requirements acrossthe Southern Fleurieu. This will take into account school usage, local communityneeds and inter-town links such as Goolwa to Victor Harbor.Key stakeholder consultation is currently underway following which the PTB willwork out an appropriate package of transportation across the Fleurieu. It is thenproposed that detailed community consultation will occur in principal townsdetailing the package and seeking community input. If a proposed packagereceives community support, it is likely that a PTB tender process will occur witha proposed operation date in January 2004. At this stage it is unknown as towhat level of contribution, if any, may be sourced from Council to subsidise thebus operation. New services may not require a need for Council to be involvedin community transport.At this stage, indications are that the Goolwa and Victor Harbor school bus runswill be picked up by the PTB and included within the package of services.Therefore the PTB may subsidise the school service within Goolwa and VictorHarbor. Advice received to date indicates that services could commence inJanuary 2004.I believe a decision on the proposal by Goolwa Bus and Coach should bedeferred for a period of six months where Council will have a clearer picture onproposed school services for 2004 and beyond.Cont/…Alexandrina CouncilMinutes of Council MeetingHeld on Monday 7 th July 200353

This lease was then extended in 1999 to a further 21 year lease with arevaluation done at the time. The current lease has 16 years to run and anyextension beyond this would need to go to public consultation.ConceptThe concept of the Park upgrade is lacking in specific detail. It would be my viewthat should Council consider this issue favorably, concept plans should beavailable as part of the public consultation. The issues for the community thathave used the Park in the past is the potential loss of camp area to fixedstructures. While this is not necessarily a bad thing, as park accommodation is adynamic model, the proposed changes need to be placed openly and honestlybefore the community. Most issues within the proposed works can be seen asnon-threatening and should occur as a matter of course for a Park attempting tomaintain or improve its standard.

If the program is not continued local roads will quickly revert to theirprevious rate of decline.
