Variation.
At the request of Councillor Ellsmore, and by consent, the motion was varied as
follows –
It is resolved that:
(A)
Council adopt the draft Council-Related
Development Applications Policy as set out at Attachment A to the subject
report, to commence at the time the Environmental Planning and Assessment
Amendment (Conflict of Interest) Regulation 2022 commences, with the following
amendments:
(i)
Amend the definition of ‘excluded development’
as follows:
Amend item (e) in the
definition as follows:
(e) development where the
City might receive a small fee for the use of their land (such as outdoor
dining areas for which fees are or may be payable under legislation)
(ii)
Insert
after item (g) the following clarification:
“except
applications which would limit existing free public access to public land (as
defined in the Local Government Act 1993).”
The purpose of the
amendments is to clarify that applications or changes to Council lands and
interests - where they would limit or restrict existing free, public access -
are not considered ‘excluded development’ for the purposes of this Policy; and
(B)
authority be delegated to the Chief Executive
Officer to make any other amendments to the Council-Related Development
Applications Policy in order to give effect to this motion and to correct any
minor drafting errors and finalise design, artwork and accessible formats for
publication.
The motion, as varied by consent, was carried unanimously.
