COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL

That the Committee approve the proposed relocation of the driveway to ‘Meemar’ to Chainage 40.405km on the Burley Griffin Way and refer the application to Transport for NSW for consideration.

3.10 General Business

COMMITtee to note

1. 15T Weight Limit restriction request for Adams Street Stockinbingal not be progressed any further.

2. Concealed Driveway Signage Request for Sutton Street Cootamundra not be progressed any further.

3. That the request for the no-stopping sign in front of Kingston Park on Gundagai Road no be progressed any further.

4. The temporary Delegations to Councils be noted.

COMMITTEE/ COUNCIL STAFF TO ACTION

5. Council to prepare a report for the next LTC meeting regarding the re-placement of existing sign at 22 Poole Street Cootamundra.

6. That appropriate council staff prepare an events calendar for the next 12 months.

7. NSW Police requested that the pedestrian crossings on Burke/Parker Street and all roundabouts be assessed for overgrown vegetation and trimmed to provide a safer pedestrian crossing.

Discussion

LTC noted that the 15 tonne weight limit restriction for Adams Street Stockinbingal is not warranted because it is not seen as a shortcut. If a 15 tonne weight limit is imposed local trucks are still able to utilise the road to access properties on that road.

Transport for NSW does not endorse concealed driveway signage on Sutton Street. As the signage would be placed on a state road the LTC will not progress this matter any further.

The request for no-stopping signage in front of Kingston Park on Gundagai Road to be relocated closer to the intersection was not supported by LTC. It currently provides a safe distance from the intersection for trucks to park as well as providing adequate access to the pram ramp, which if the sign was moved, would be blocked by vehicles.

The temporary delegations to Council’s was noted, however Council advised that typically Council will still seek endorsement from LTC wherever practical prior to implementing items which Council is now delegated to implement.

As LTC meetings are only once every 3 months, the LTC would like to see a 12 month events calendar to enable better visibility of upcoming events.

NSW Police requested that the pedestrian crossings on Burke/Parker Street and all roundabouts be assessed for overgrown vegetation and trimmed to provide a safer pedestrian crossing.

Introduction

The Applicant requests a modification to development consent 10.2023.22.1 in accordance Section 4.55 (1A) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EPA Act). The modification includes a variation to the primary building line and minor internal reconfiguration of the kitchen in both dwellings.

The subject site is located within the residential township of Cootamundra at 16 Hay Street – Lot 1 DP 1296310 (former Lot 11 DP18650 at the time of the original assessment). The structure (two dwellings) are in an advanced state of construction. The lot is zoned R1 General Residential pursuant to the Cootamundra Local Environmental Plan 2013 and is approx. 733.5m2. The site is rectangular in shape, with a primary boundary of 14.2m, and 51.66m in depth, and is generally flat. The two dwellings were approved under DA2023/22 on 5^th May 2023 and a construction certificate (CC) was issued on 3^rd July 2023.

Discussion

History of Application:

DA 10.2023.22.1 was approved on 05/05/2023 for the construction of two (2) dwelling houses (units) at 16 Hay Street, Cootamundra. Council approved the two units, setback 6.8m from the primary road frontage of Hay Street (the average of the two adjoining dwellings) on 5/5/2023, and the Construction Certificate (CC) was approved 3/7/2023. On 03/07/2023, a Section 68 was approved by Council which included the proposed driveway drainage details and the stormwater detail. On the approved Section 68 Site Plan, the setback of the dwelling (unit 1) from the primary frontage is sighted at 5.25m. The setback on the stamped S68 Plan was 1.55m closer to the primary boundary (Hay St) than the approved DA/CC Plans.

At the time, Council staff did not consider the discrepancy between the DA/CC Stamped and Approved Plans and the varied setback on the Section 68 stamped Plan. It is noted than an approval under the Local Government Act 1993 does not constitute, nor take precedence over the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 in this instance.

Subsequent discussion with the Applicant confirmed that the conditions of development consent (DA23/22) clearly outlined the siting of the dwellings needed to comply with the DA/CC stamped plans. It was as a condition of development consent PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF WORKS - PCW Condition 6 “the applicant is responsible to ensure that the building is sited on the allotment and construction to the design levels approved by Council as specified on the approved site plan. This is to be set out by a registered surveyor”.

Furthermore, a DURING CONSTRUCTION – DUR condition (1) stated “all proposed works to be undertaken are to be carried out in accordance with the conditions of development consent, approved construction certificate drawings and specifications”. The conditions of consent were not complied with and resulted in the subject modification application. Council received a copy of survey set out (SRD Land Consulting, Plan Edition A, Sheet 1 of 1, 22-08-2023) which details the primary setback for the dwelling (unit 1) is 5.18m as detailed in the figure below.

Council became aware that the dwelling/s under construction were in the wrong location on 13^th October 2023 and an email was sent to the Applicant advising of the issue, with an order to stop works immediately until a Modification to the DA was assessed and approved. Council issued a formal Notice of Intention to issue a Development Control Order to Stop Works on 17^th October 2023. The Applicant responded to Council on the 18^th October 2023 via email outlining the justification for the amendment to the Plans, and requested Council allow the construction works to carry on. Council did not approve for works to continue on site.

An assessment against the DCP Chapter 2.1 Building Line Variations is provided within the attached Delegated Assessment Report (DAR) to establish whether the proposed variation is appropriate, fair and reasonable, and will result in a good planning outcome. Council staff are unable to support the justification for constructing the dwellings in the incorrect location without seeking approval prior to the works commencing, and the justification is not considered fair and reasonable to warrant the modification, therefore, determination can now only be at the discretion of the Council.

Legal Issues

The Applicant has carried out a deliberate breach of development consent in accordance with the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The Applicant failed to comply with two conditions of consent:

PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF WORKS - PCW Condition 6 - the applicant is responsible to ensure that the building is sited on the allotment and construction to the design levels approved by Council as specified on the approved site plan. This is to be set out by a registered surveyor.

Reason: To ensure the development is carried out on the correct allotment.

DURING CONSTRUCTION – DUR condition (1) - all proposed works to be undertaken are to be carried out in accordance with the conditions of development consent, approved construction certificate drawings and specifications.

Reason: Ensure all works are carried out in accordance with the development consent.

Council has an obligation to ensure that the Applicant is responsible for the breaching of the consent. The Applicant noted that the breach of the consent was a conscious decision and evidently, the Applicant failed to comply with the development consent as approved on 05/05/2023, therefore, under Section 9.58 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, Council may serve a penalty notice for above breach/s of consent (the offence). Schedule 5 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulations 2021 sets out the application and monetary penalties for the known offences under the Act.

Under Sch 5, (2) of the Regulations 2021, the known offence under the Act is non-compliance under Section 4.2(1)(a) development involving a class 1a or class 10 building for the development not being carried out as per approved. Each offence and penalty value for a corporation is $3000 per offence (current at the time of this assessment).

Notwithstanding the Applicant deliberately constructed the structure forward of the building line which adversely impacts the rhythm of Hay Street buildings and the private open space of unit 1, it is unreasonable to require demolition of the structures in my view.

Therefore, Council have put forward the below recommendation to be considered for the determination of the Modification Development Application.

Financial

In total Council currently has $382,737 remaining in the Plant replacement budget (both Cootamundra & Gundagai), however the expected cost to fully complete the plant replacement program is $430,000 leaving approximately $47,000 shortfall. Council staff propose the delay of procuring the Forklift in Gundagai to offset the additional cost. An alternative plant item, such a s a telehandler will be more suitable to the conditions and requirements of the work expected at the Gundagai waste facility.

Council wishes to also utilise an additional $50,000 from the plant fund as a contingency to ensure that the plant replacement program is adequately funded for the remainder of the 2023/2024 financial year.

Funds will also need to be transferred from the Gundagai plant replacement budget to the Cootamundra plant replacement budget to balance the difference in required expenditure between each area. The variance in funding between Cootamundra and Gundagai is based on a 10 year plant replacement program, which aims to replace plant closer to an optimal time, rather than just replacing because budget is split 50/50 between Cootamundra and Gundagai.

OLG 23a Guideline consideration

The plant replacement program is for replacement of plant in line with the operational requirements of Council.

Recommendation

1. Council approve a submission for grant funding for an EV destination charging site at the Cootamundra Library.

2. Council approves a submission for an EOI for an EV fast-charging site at Albert Park.

3. Council approves for the seeking of grant funding to cover the capital costs associated with the installation of Solar panels and installation of battery storage to help offset the EV charging stations annual operating costs and to remove any carbon footprint.

4. That on the success of grant funding, Council approves the budget as outlined in this report.

1. Executive Summary:

This council report presents a comprehensive feasibility study regarding the installation of four Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations in Cootamundra. The objective of this study is to evaluate the economic, environmental, and social viability of implementing such stations, considering the potential benefits they can bring to the community. The findings suggest that installing EV charging stations in Cootamundra is a feasible and forward-thinking initiative that aligns with the council's sustainable development goals and commitment to renewable energy adoption.

2. Introduction:

The rapid growth of electric vehicles globally has necessitated the integration of charging infrastructure to facilitate EV adoption and address the associated energy demands. Cootamundra has a unique opportunity to embrace this transition, ensuring residents and visitors have access to convenient, sustainable transportation options. This report examines the financial, environmental, and social aspects of installing four EV charging stations in strategic locations throughout the town.

3. Objectives:

The primary objectives of this report are as follows:

a) Assess the potential demand for EV charging stations in Cootamundra.

b) Evaluate the economic feasibility of installing four charging stations.

c) Analyse the environmental benefits and contribution to the council’s sustainability goals.

d) Identify potential funding sources, partnerships, and revenue models.

e) Address any potential challenges or risks associated with the installation.

4. Potential Demand and Benefits:

The demand for EV charging stations in Cootamundra is expected to increase steadily in the coming years due to the growing popularity of electric vehicles. Installing four charging stations would provide numerous benefits, including:

a) Encouraging residents to switch to electric vehicles, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

b) Attracting eco-conscious visitors and tourists to the town.

c) Supporting local businesses by increasing foot traffic and dwell time.

d) Enhancing Cootamundra's reputation as a progressive and sustainable community.

e) Generating jobs and stimulating the local economy through installation, maintenance, and operation.

f) Improved travel planning and extended length of visits.

As of 2023, it was identified through the Charger locator platform that there are currently no EV Chargers in the Cootamundra Region. EV’s travelling through Cootamundra currently rely on chargers in neighbouring towns and need to plan their trips accordingly.

The library carpark is a candidate for 4 x 7kW wall mounted destination chargers to service 4 car parking spaces. This site should be considered a high priority for a round 2 destination charging grant application. It is centrally located close to a range of local shops, restaurants and businesses. This is an attractive location for visitors to park whilst they visit Cootamundra. EV drivers could be expected to park here for 30 minutes or up to a few hours and would also suit future Council-owned electric vehicles to charge at this location.

5. Economic Feasibility:

An analysis of the economic feasibility indicates that the installation of four destination EV charging stations at the Cootamundra library is viable. The initial capital cost, including equipment, installation, 1 year of software usage and associated infrastructure, is estimated at $19,656 with Council contributing $4,914.

A vehicle charging at this location will consume approximately $1.50 per hour of charging. One 7kW charger that is used for an average of 4 hours per day will cost approximately $2,000 p.a. in electricity to operate, resulting in approximately $8,000 p.a. for this site.

A possible way of minimising if not remove any operational costs would be to install appropriate solar power generation and battery storage, with panels to be located on the library and Council building roofs. The capital costs for the capital infrastructure would be sought from grant opportunities.

Ongoing software subscriptions costs range from $150 - $390 p.a. per charging port depending on the provider after the first 12 months. Additional 4G sim card fees may be applicable in some cases which range from $100 - $200 p.a. per site. Other fees may apply such as maintenance agreements costing $180 p.a. per charger.

If Council chooses to implement billing to recover costs the pricing structure for charging equates to $2.10 per hour for a 7kW charger. Using this pricing structure and the financial projection, considering maintenance costs, electricity expenses, and potential revenue streams, indicates that the investment can be recovered within 2 years. Furthermore, the presence of charging stations is likely to attract EV drivers, leading to increased spending on local businesses.

The proposed Albert Park site for four ultra-fast chargers would require a new substation to be installed. For this type of charging, Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council would need to undertake an Expression of Interest and enter a leasing arrangement with a fast-charging provider. Fast charging sites have the potential to generate revenue from ongoing lease agreements. All capital costs and operational costs will be paid by the fast-charging provider. Depending on the agreement Council may need to invest partially in the initial civil works.

6. Environmental Impact

Electric cars and their charging stations have an overall positive impact on the environment, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, fuel transport costs, and maintenance costs. Although building new charging stations may come at a cost, and electric cars emit zero emissions but are not completely emission free because the electricity and manufacturing does have a carbon footprint, the production benefits outweigh the challenges. Fortunately, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power are now being used to generate electricity for charging stations, providing a greener alternative to fossil fuels. The sophisticated technology needs minor upkeep and there are fewer chances of accidents and spills, meaning less potential negative impacts on the environment.

7. Recommendations

It is recommended that Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council pursue and submit a grant funding application for a destination charging site at the Cootamundra Library including the installation of 4 destination chargers. This is so tourists, and locals, may charge their electric vehicles whilst visiting a range of shops, cafes and parklands in central Cootamundra. This should be considered a high priority.

It is recommended that Albert Park opposite the Cootamundra Heritage Centre be considered for 4 x ultra-fast chargers. This site should be considered a medium priority for a fast-charging EOI submission. This proposed site amenities and proximity to the Olympic Highway and with only a short walk to the main street presents an attractive location investment in fast charging.

That funding opportunities be investigated and if successful solar power generation and battery storage be installed as supporting this related infrastructure with the aim to establish the operation of the EV charging station to be cost and carbon natural.

Financial Impact

· Grant Funding $20,000.

· Council Contribution $5,000. (Funded from the Building Infrastructure Budget).

· Annual Operating Costs $8,000 (Funded from the Building Infrastructure Budget for the 1^st 12 months only). After the first 12 months a usage charge will apply.

· Contingency $5,000pa to be fully cost recovery after the 1^st 12 months.
