DECLARATION OF OPENING OF MEETING
The Mayor declared the ordinary meeting of Council on 27 November 2001 open at 7.15pm.
1.1 Mr D C Watson, 14 Kathleen Street, Trigg
Q1 Has the City of Stirling received the independent Traffic Engineers report on the Karrinyup Road/ West Coast Drive Intersection?
Q2 If so, when was it received and is it available for scrutiny by Ratepayers?
Q3 If not when does the City of Stirling expect to receive the report?
A1 The Chief Executive Officer responded that the City of Stirling had yet to receive the independent Traffic Engineers report but expected it in the next week or two. Accordingly it will not be presented to the Technical Services Committee this year and is expected to be on the agenda in January.
1.2 Ms S Nisbett, 20A Morgans Street, Tuart Hill
Re: Item 11.1/ED1
Q1 Why were ratepayers in the Tuart Hill area not asked to participate in the initial consultation to facilitate a win-win situation for all stakeholders?
A1 The Executive Manager Works responded that there was a questionnaire survey sent to an extensive number of residents of the area immediately affected by the proposed works. 722 residents were part of the questionnaire covering Morgans Street, Myers Street, Tyler Street, and sections of Hector and Waterloo Streets.
1.3 Mr A Willemsen, 16 Morgans Street, Tuart Hill
Re: Item 11.1/ED1
Q1 To Ward Councillors: What happens if the survey failed to be delivered to the reported area of the survey i.e. both Hector Street and Myers Street?
Q2 Why is there a hurry to carry out works (starting 31 December 2001) when the need to start the works may be a misunderstanding in regard to the funds being available?
Q3 Is the payment for the street parking required if there is no longer a need for street parking.
Q4 How can a roundabout be created into a minor road as gazetted that is incapable of handling the traffic of that area as per the engineering reports (dated September 1995) pre trial closure of Myers Street?
Q5 Could Councillors please review the timing in regard to working groups and the trial period to test the experts assumptions in regard to spending $400,000 on parking on St Kieran's where the solution is not clear and where the Mayor on the 29 October indicated that whether it takes six months or a year if there is a problem we will solve it the best way we can i.e. three month trial 2 February through to the end of the first term to test the theories of the experts?
A1 The Chief Executive Officer responded that he would provide a written response.
1.4 Ms S Nisbett, 20A Morgans Street, Tuart Hill
Re: Item 11.1/ED1
Q1 Why were ratepayers in the immediate Tuart Hill area not consulted in the initial process when the problem arose regarding safety and traffic in Tyler Morgans Street and Myers Street. I am not talking about the questionnaire that was sent out but I am talking about the very beginning in which good management suggests that you consult all stakeholders and end up by doing that with a win-win situation, that's my question?
A1 The Executive Manager Works responded that the proper process has been followed and it is normal practice to come up with some options before you start consulting the public. In this particular case options have been developed with St Kieran's Primary School over a number of years, until the City got to a point where there was a solution the City believed could work. Once that was achieved the consultation process commenced.
1.5 Mr P Smit, 119 Waterloo Street, Tuart Hill
Re: Item 11.1/ED1
Q1 What studies have been done concerning problems with parking at St Kieran's? Is the manager of traffic aware of and how that is being addressed in this new proposal?
Q2 I would like to know why we were not consulted, as I only received the traffic plan and my neighbour at 117 didn't even receive a plan, I would like to know why that has arisen?
A1 The Executive Manager Works responded that he had a listing of all properties that received the detailed questionnaire and plan. It is understood that the full length of that street was covered in the survey. In terms of the parking, yes parking has been an important part of the investigation that has taken place. The proposal put to council primarily addresses traffic safety but also addresses parking within the area that is available
Q3 I would also like to know if there is going to be a trial period with this proposal as Councillor Spagnolo explained to me this afternoon?
A2 The Executive Manager Works responded that the way the works are proposed to be staged, does effectively provide a trial period. Stage 1 of the works includes work in Morgans Street and includes the intersection of Tyler Street. Stage 2 which includes work at Tyler Street and Cape Street and the roundabout at Waterloo Street and Cape Street, wouldn't occur until in the new financial year in approximately 6 months. The staging will enable the City to assess the benefits of the Stage 1 works prior to commencement of Stage 2.
1.6 Mr A Willemsen, 16 Morgans Street, Tuart Hill
Re: Item 11.1/ED1
Q1 In regard to the question of safety and regard to the development of safety turning circles and so forth, I point to an independent expert Sinclair and Knight, hired by St Kieran's under the direction of the Council to develop on street parking for St Kieran's. It is also for the roundabout that I apologise as I suggested on the 4 April last year.
....continued
How can a document that has been designed and authorised as `St Kieran's Primary School, Parking', with no alterations be now called `Traffic Management Parking Tyler Street Upgrade', without any understanding of what has been changed?
A1 The Executive Manager Works responded that there have been a number of proposals over the years and they have not been accepted. The current proposal before Council has been accepted by the City and the school, and that is the proposal that was put to the public. There is now a proposal that is workable and should produce a good result for traffic safety.
1.7 Ms S Nisbett, 20A Morgans Street, Tuart Hill
Re: Item 11.1/ED1
Q1 You say it will produce a good result in terms of traffic safety. Can you tell me how you measure that please?
A1 The Executive Manager Works responded that the measures that are used are traffic accidents and vehicle speeds.
Q2 You will get feedback from ratepayers and take that on board I trust?
A2 The Mayor responded, yes.
Q3 As the monitoring of parking, speeding and the lack of observation of street verge signs etc relating to parking at St Kieran's Servite College and the phone calls to Council asking for rangers results in being told the same thing "we don't have the resources to police". What commitment are you making to that if this goes ahead - you will see that people observe the rules?
A3 The Executive Manager Works responded that certainly the school has given a strong indication that they will be communicating to the parents to abide by the rules, but also in the review period after the stage 1 works are completed a report will be presented to the Council on success of the stage 1 trial.
Q4 Given that there are only six ratepayers in Morgans Street because the Roman Catholic Church owns the rest of the block you will put credence in that?
A4 The Executive Manager Works responded yes.
1.8 Mr P Smit, 119 Waterloo Street Tuart Hill
Re: Item 11.1/ED1
Q1 What compensation will I receive for my retaining wall and landscape works including the property adjacent to me?
A1 The Executive Manager Works responded that the wall in question does not have a truncation and would need to be reconstructed with a truncation. It should look as good as it does now, being the same quality. The City would negotiate or pay at least the market value of the land required for the roundabout.
NIL.
