ITEM: 1 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME

1.1 Mr K Mathews, 53 Glenorchy Crescent, Hamersley

Subject: Rezoning from `Special Use Zone - Office and Consulting Rooms' to `Special Use Zone - Office, Consulting Rooms and Viewing Chapel'- 401 Wanneroo Road, Balcatta

Q1 Why is Council even considering this application?

It has been before this Council on three previous occasions and rejected. The building was approved for professional offices but obviously designed for other purposes.

If Council approves this fourth application it is creating a precedent which may be followed by others.

The Mayor advised that the City's Officers will provide a response in writing.

1.2 Mr M Petters, 4 Arkana Way, Balcatta

Subject: Rezoning from `Special Use Zone - Office and Consulting Rooms' to `Special Use Zone - Office, Consulting Rooms and Viewing Chapel'- 401 Wanneroo Road, Balcatta

Q1 As most members of Council present today were members at last Tuesday's Planning Committee, my question to them is why did they recommend that this Funeral Parlour set-up be approved even though we had 77 signatures of the "locally affected residents" on our petition opposing the construction and Seasons Funerals produced only seven for it, these seven living in the northern suburbs and who do not live remotely anywhere near this proposed building?

The Mayor advised that the City's Officers will provide a response in writing.

1.3 Ms K Tilly, 19 Arkana Way, Balcatta

Subject: Rezoning from `Special Use Zone - Office and Consulting Rooms' to `Special Use Zone - Office, Consulting Rooms and Viewing Chapel'- 401 Wanneroo Road, Balcatta

Q1 Why did the Planning Department allow such a building to be erected in the first place directly contrary to their approval for "Offices/Consulting Rooms - Group Practice" that is an obvious medical facility.

The Mayor advised that the City's Officers will provide a response in writing.

1.4 Ms H Deleuil, 5 The Lane, Churchlands

Subject: Inappropriate Use of Land between The Lane off Pearson Street, Churchlands

Q1 What is the zoning for Mr Jackson's block of land?

Q2 How long does the Council intend that this eyesore continue?

Q3 When will Mr Jackson be asked to remove his mountain of sand, earthmoving equipment and fuel tanks from an otherwise pleasant area?

Q4 What does the Council intend to do about the damage to many of the homes?

Q5 How long does Mr Jackson have to complete his commitment to the Council for the establishment of barbecues, play grounds and seating?

The Mayor advised that the City's Officers will provide a response in writing.

1.5 Mrs E McNiel - 72 Elderado Road, Tuart Hill

Subject: Rezoning from `Special Use Zone - Office and Consulting Rooms' to `Special Use Zone - Office, Consulting Rooms and Viewing Chapel'- 401 Wanneroo Road, Balcatta

Q1 Residents have petitioned Council four times on the rezoning of Lot 320 Wanneroo Road, to allow a viewing chapel, why are Council allowing this?

The Mayor advised that the City's Officers will provide a response in writing.
