COUNCIL MINUTESTUESDAY 26 JUNE 20123. This point is discussed under the heading 'Parking', above.Note: The landscaping plan illustrates the three ficus trees to be retained (refer condition 3 <strong>of</strong>the planning approval).Completion <strong>of</strong> WorksThe advice note attached to the WAPC planning approval in relation to road constructionworks, outlined in the background section <strong>of</strong> this report, states that all construction works are tobe completed prior to occupation <strong>of</strong> the new conference centre. The TSH have requestedoccupancy be allowed once final agreement is reached with <strong>Council</strong> on cost and scope <strong>of</strong>works. The building works are due for completion in August 2012 and they suggest that roadconstruction works could be completed by November 2012.If this request is to be considered, at the very least, <strong>Council</strong> would have to be assured thatarrangements for the construction are firmly in place. At the very least, a construction contractshould be let.In the event that the new buildings are occupied prior to completion <strong>of</strong> the road works, there willbe access difficulties to cope with during construction and in these circumstances, it is unlikelythat the centre could expect to be fully operational, particularly in relation to the conferencecentre.Other MattersThe renewal <strong>of</strong> this section <strong>of</strong> Dodd Street raises the question <strong>of</strong> the condition <strong>of</strong> the remainder<strong>of</strong> the street immediately to the east. <strong>Council</strong> may want to consider whether this section shouldalso be upgraded. (Noting <strong>of</strong> course that future planning for this northern part <strong>of</strong> Lake Mongerhas not been decided at this stage).Under the terms <strong>of</strong> their lease, the TSH is required to gain approval from <strong>Council</strong> for any workson their site. A separate approval is therefore required in relation to this current proposal.POLICY/STATUTORY IMPLICATIONS:There are no policy or statutory implications related to this report.FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:Funds for Dodd Street upgrade have been included in the draft 2012/2013 budget.STRATEGIC DIRECTION:Consideration <strong>of</strong> this application is consistent with the <strong>Town</strong>'s Strategic Plan 2009-2020 for thepriority area 'Planning for our Community'.COMMUNITY CONSULTATION:This matter has been assessed under the Community Consultation Policy. The requirementsfor consultation have been satisfied under the statutory provisions <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> PlanningScheme.H:\Ceo\Gov\<strong>Council</strong> <strong>Minutes</strong>\12 MINUTES\June 2012\D Item 10 Onwards.docx 190
