POLICY STATEMENT COORDINATION COMMITTEE MEETING 9 December 2014 PAGE 12 Agenda Moreton Bay Regional Council COORDINATION COMMITTEE MEETING 9 December 2014 PAGE 13 Agenda ,7(0$'237,212)$0(1'('$33529$/2)68%',9,6,213/$135,2572&203/(7,212)$// 68%',9,6,21:25.632/,&<5HJLRQDO&RQW Preliminary 1.1 The former Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA) and the current Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA) provide a mechanism for an applicant to provide satisfactory security to a local government to secure the performance of a party to the fulfilment of a condition/s of a development approval. A similar mechanism exists in the South-East Queensland Water (Distribution and Retail Restructuring) Act 2009 (SEQ Water Act) to secure the performance of a party to the fulfilment of a condition/s of a Water Approval. 1.2 Council’s decision in relation to satisfactory security is discretionary, however this policy provides for that discretion to be exercised where the requirements of this policy are satisfied. 1.3 This security will be in the form of an infrastructure agreement secured by either a cash bond or a financial security complying with the Council’s policy on the “Provision of Financial Securities”. Policy 2.1 It is Council’s policy to require that: (i) at least 50% of the Subdivision Council Administered Works for the Subdivision have been completed; (ii) all earthworks are completed; (iii) where the required Subdivision Works incorporate Water Connection Works, evidence is provided that Unitywater has issued either a Certificate of Completion or a Provisional Certificate of Completion in respect of those Water Connection Works ; (iv) a certificate is provided to Council from a RPEQ certifying: at least 50% of the Subdivision Council Administered Works have been completed; and all earthworks have been completed; and the details and estimated costs provided in the accompanying schedule of uncompleted Subdivision Council Administered Works as at the date of the certificate; and that the information contained in the certificate and accompanying schedule of uncompleted Subdivision Council Administered Works is accurate. 2.2 It is Council’s policy that the only agreement that Council will enter into is its proforma “Infrastructure Agreement for Early Approval of Subdivision Plan” and that no amendments to that proforma are permitted (other than any amendments made from time to time by, or with the approval of, the Legal Services Department). Proforma Infrastructure Agreement 3.1 A copy of the proforma “Infrastructure Agreement for Early Approval of Subdivision Plan” is a related link to the Policy. 3.2 The infrastructure agreement includes the following requirements: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) satisfactory security is to be provided by the developer to cover the construction of all uncompleted subdivision Council Administered Works; that financial security is in a form that satisfies Council’s policy on the “Provision of Financial Securities” or is provided as a cash bond; that contracts have been awarded for all uncompleted subdivision Council Administered Works; and that all subdivision Council Administered Works will be completed within 3 months of the date of the infrastructure agreement, unless otherwise provided. Financial Security for construction of all uncompleted Subdivision Council Administered Works COORDINATION COMMITTEE MEETING 9 December 2014 PAGE 13 Agenda Moreton Bay Regional Council COORDINATION COMMITTEE MEETING 9 December 2014 PAGE 14 Agenda ,7(0$'237,212)$0(1'('$33529$/2)68%',9,6,213/$135,2572&203/(7,212)$// 68%',9,6,21:25.632/,&<5HJLRQDO&RQW 4.1 The value of the financial security to be lodged with Council for construction of all uncompleted subdivision Council Administered Works is to be no less than the estimated cost to complete all of those uncompleted subdivision works plus an additional 25%. Where that equates to less than $5,000 or the value of the Maintenance Bond, the value of the security to be provided is to be the greater of the value of the Maintenance Bond and $5,000. 4.2 The financial security provided for the uncompleted Subdivision Council Administered Works will not be released until the following has occurred: (i) (ii) (iii) the uncompleted Subdivision Council Administered Works have been completed to Council’s satisfaction; the Developer’s Obligations in the “Infrastructure Agreement for Early Approval of Subdivision Plan” have been satisfied; and the Developer has provided to Council (subject to clause 4.3 below) a Maintenance Bond in favour of Council and, if the subdivision works involve a community water supply or sewerage system, a separate Maintenance Bond in favour of Unitywater for that water and sewerage component (to be administered by Council). 4.3 Alternatively, the Developer can elect not to have the financial security provided for the uncompleted subdivision Council Administered Works released and instead have that security reduced to the value of the Maintenance Bond required by Council and, where a community water supply or sewerage system has been constructed, provide a separate Maintenance Bond in favour of Unitywater for that water and sewerage component, which will be administered by Council. 4.4 All financial securities, except cash bonds, must comply with Council’s policy on the “Provision of Financial Securities”. Previous non-compliant applicants 5.1 Notwithstanding the above, it is Council’s practice that early approval of a Subdivision Plan may not be available to those applicants who have previously not complied with the obligations/undertakings in relation to the early approval of a Subdivision Plan. 5.2 For those applicants, any request for early approval of a Subdivision Plan will be considered on a case by case basis and determined in Council’s absolute discretion. 5.3 Additional requirements, in Council’s absolute discretion, may be required for those applicants. 5.4 Applicants should seek advice from the Council on any additional requirements it may require in this respect before lodging the request. REVIEW TRIGGERS This policy is reviewed internally for applicability, continuing effect and consistency with related documents and other legislative provisions when any of the following occurs: (1) The related documents are amended. (2) The related documents are replaced by new documents. (3) Amendments which affect the allowable scope and effect of a policy of this nature are made to the head of power.

Developer’s Obligations 3.1 In consideration of the Council approving the Subdivision Plan, the Developer agrees that: (a) all Council Administered Subdivision Works will be completed to Council’s satisfaction within three (3) months of the date that the Council approves the Subdivision Plan; and (b) all transfers of land and interests in land to the Council must be free of encumbrances and registered in the Titles Office at the same time as the Subdivision Plan is registered and at no cost to the Council; and (c) during the On Maintenance Period, the Council Administered Subdivision Works will be maintained and any defects for which the Developer is responsible will be remedied in accordance with Council’s requirements. 3.2 To secure to the Council the due fulfillment of the Developer’s obligations under this Agreement, the Developer must provide to Council at the time of signing this Agreement, a financial security, the value of which is to be no less than the estimate of the cost of completing all of the uncompleted Council Administered Subdivision Works as certified in Schedule 2, plus twenty-five percent (25%). Where that equates to less than $5,000 or the value of the Maintenance Bond, the value of the security to be provided is to be the greater of the value of the Maintenance Bond and $5,000. 3.3 The above security must comply with Council’s policy No 11-2150-23 “Provision of Financial Securities”. Where the security takes the form of a cash bond, the Developer acknowledges that no interest shall accrue or be payable. 3.4 The Developer acknowledges and agrees that the security will be released by Council as set out in this Agreement. 3.5 The Developer acknowledges that Council will not release the security until the Developer has provided the Maintenance Bonds and the Developer agrees to provide the Maintenance Bonds prior to, or at the time of, commencement of the On Maintenance Period. 3.6 The Developer acknowledges and agrees that, if it should fail to complete all Council Administered Subdivision Works within the time set out in this Agreement, then the Council is entitled to the monies comprising, or mentioned in, the financial security and that the Council may spend the monies to complete the Subdivision those Council Administered Works (or any part thereof) and to remedy any defects which become evident during the On Maintenance Period. 3.7 The Developer undertakes that it will not interfere with the recovery by Council of monies from the security notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between the Council and the Developer. 4. Indemnity 4.1 The Developer agrees that, at all times, it indemnifies the Council against all actions, proceedings, liability, claims, damages, costs and expenses of any nature whatsoever which may arise directly or indirectly from any incorrect or misleading information contained in the certificate/s in schedule 2 and schedule 4 or from the Developer’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement.

Council’s Obligations 5.1 Upon commencement of this Agreement, and the Developer providing the security required in clause 3.2 of this Agreement, the Council agrees to take all necessary steps to approve the Subdivision Plan. 5.2 Council will release the security provided in clause 3.2 of this Agreement when each of the following has occurred: (a) all Council Administered Subdivision Works have been completed and the On Maintenance Period has commenced; (b) the Developer has provided to Council all “as constructed” drawings and flood drainage plans, and all other documentation as required by the relevant Planning Scheme and development approvals; (c) all transfers of land or interests to the Council and all dedications of land have been duly registered in the Titles Office; and (d) the Developer has provided to Council a Maintenance Bond in favour of Council and, if the Subdivision Works involve a community water supply or sewerage system, a separate Maintenance Bond in favour of Unitywater for that water and sewerage component (to be administered by Council). 5.3 Council agrees that, as an alternative to 5.2(d) above, the Developer can elect not to have the security provided in clause 3.2 of this Agreement released and instead have that security reduced to the value of the Maintenance Bond required by Council and, where a community water supply or sewerage system has been constructed, provide a separate Maintenance Bond in favour of Unitywater for that water and sewerage component, which will be administered by Council. 6. Waiver No waiver by either party of a breach by the other party of any of the provisions of this agreement is to be implied, or be otherwise effected, unless written notice has been given to that effect.

OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION That Council note the contents of the direction given by the Deputy Premier and the consequent implications for the proposed Moreton Bay Region Planning Scheme. COORDINATION COMMITTEE MEETING 9 December 2014 PAGE 28 Agenda Moreton Bay Regional Council COORDINATION COMMITTEE MEETING 9 December 2014 PAGE 29 Agenda ITEM 2.1 MINSTERIAL DIRECTION UNDER THE SUSTAINABLE PLANNING ACT 2009 - REGIONAL - A10236468 (Cont.) REPORT DETAIL 1. Background Council released its proposed planning scheme for community consultation in July and August 2014. During this public notification period, the majority of submissions about the planning scheme related to flooding and coastal hazards. Subsequently, Council was twice requested to meet with the Deputy Premier, Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning. At these meetings, the Deputy Premier indicated his concerns with the inclusion of climate change factors in the proposed planning scheme and an assumed sea level rise of .8m to the year 2100 in particular. Council noted the Deputy Premier’s concerns, but indicated the inclusion of climate change factors, including sea level rise, based on the best scientific and technical information available to the Council was necessary in order to protect the Council against legal liability. These issues were outlined in a letter to the Deputy Premier from Council dated 15 October 2014. The Deputy Premier subsequently entered into correspondence which ultimately resulted in him issuing a direction to the Council under section 126 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (Act), dated 28 November 2014. Pursuant to this direction, the Council is required to remove any assumption about “a theoretical sea level rise due to climate change” from all and any provisions of the proposed planning scheme. 2. Explanation of Item As outlined in the attached correspondence, the State Government has directed Council to remove any assumption about a theoretical sea level rise due to climate change from all and any provisions of the draft planning scheme. The Council is obliged to comply with a lawful direction given under section 126 of the Act. In complying with the direction given by the Deputy Premier, the Council will be absolved from liability in any legal action based on its failure to include the climate change factors referred to in the direction in its planning scheme. Complying with the direction would not absolve the Council from liability in any legal action based on a failure to properly identify and provide for, (by refusal or conditions), the impacts of coastal hazards when making decisions on development applications affected by such hazards, (development assessment risk). On 25 November 2014 the state introduced the draft Planning and Development Bill 2014 into State Parliament. The State purports that once commenced, this Bill will address the development assessment risk. Legal advice on whether the Bill effectively addresses the development assessment risk is currently being sought through the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ). It is understood the Bill is scheduled to pass in March 2015 for commencement in October 2015. Meanwhile, Council is advised that the Deputy Premier’s direction gives rise to a number of issues that require clarification and/or confirmation from the state, namely: • The term “state wide coastal mapping” requires clarification to confirm the exact maps, the assumptions underpinning them, the nexus with Council’s flood mapping and the timeframe for their release (which may impact on Council’s ability to meet the compliance deadline). • The request to refer any amendments to the Deputy Premier prior to undertaking further public consultation needs clarification in terms of timeframes and the scope of the review. • Clarification is needed to confirm the impacts of the Bill will not come into effect until October 2015, and therefore Council will 1) continue to finalise its planning scheme under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, and 2) be required to retain theoretical sea level rise in development assessment considerations until the date of commencement. COORDINATION COMMITTEE MEETING 9 December 2014 PAGE 29 Agenda Moreton Bay Regional Council COORDINATION COMMITTEE MEETING 9 December 2014 PAGE 30 Agenda ITEM 2.1 MINSTERIAL DIRECTION UNDER THE SUSTAINABLE PLANNING ACT 2009 - REGIONAL - A10236468 (Cont.) • Council should also seek to highlight it is planning a detailed community consultation and engagement strategy – albeit somewhat delayed due to the impact of the state’s decisions. Council should also outline it will be making information about theoretical sea level rise available to the community, although it will not be a mandatory requirement of the scheme. 3. Strategic Implications 3.1 Legislative/Legal Implications There are no specific legal/legislative implications flowing from the recommendations contained in this report. The Council has obtained legal advice about the effect of the Deputy Premier’s direction on the Council’s risk of liability. 3.2 Corporate Plan / Operational Plan Strengthening Communities: Development Assessment - assessment of development applications and provision of development advice. 3.3 Policy Implications N/A 3.4 Risk Management Implications Removing any assumption about a theoretical sea level rise due to climate change from all and any provisions of the planning scheme may cause concern to those residents who support the internationally accepted beliefs regarding climate change. To address this, Council will be making information about theoretical sea level rise available to the community, although it will not be a mandatory requirement of the planning scheme. 3.5 Delegated Authority Implications N/A 3.6 Financial Implications The additional costs involved in reworking and readvertising the draft planning scheme will be covered within existing operational costs. 3.7 Economic Benefit N/A 3.8 Environmental Implications Removing any assumption about a theoretical sea level rise due to climate change from all and any provisions of the planning scheme may cause concern to those residents who support the internationally accepted beliefs regarding climate change. To address this, Council will be making information about theoretical sea level rise available to the community, although it will not be a mandatory requirement of the planning scheme. 3.9 Social Implications Removing any assumption about a theoretical sea level rise due to climate change from all and any provisions of the planning scheme may cause concern to those residents who support the internationally accepted beliefs regarding climate change. To address this, Council will be making information about theoretical sea level rise available to the community, although it will not be a mandatory requirement of the planning scheme. 3.10 Consultation / Communication Consultation has taken place with strategic planning, legal services and communication services. Council is planning a detailed community consultation and engagement strategy – albeit somewhat delayed due to the impact of the state’s decisions.

REPORT DETAIL 1. Background The adoption and implementation of the Community Leasing Policy has resulted in an increase of approximately 40% in sports field maintenance responsibilities in the central and southern parts of the Council region. The appointment of the panel is required to mitigate risk on availability of contractors to meet demand for auditing and maintaining existing and newly acquired sites. The appointment of the panel will also streamline procurement, ensuring adherence to relevant process and purchasing thresholds, as outlined in the Corporate Procurement Policy. The register of prequalified suppliers will enable access to competitive rates to carry out works under Council’s maintenance and renewal programs. The arrangement formed with each company appointed as a prequalified supplier will be based on a schedule of rates. 2. Explanation of Item Tenders were advertised on 30 June 2014 and closed on 5 August 2014, with a total of four (4) conforming tenders received. Tenderers were provided the opportunity to price works as separable portions. The tenders were assessed by the tender assessment panel in accordance with Council’s Purchasing Policy and the selection criteria set out in the tender documents. The following tables list the results of the tender submissions based on a weighted score achieved through assessment.

Strategic Implications 3.1 Legislative/Legal Implications Council called a public tender for the work through the LG Tender system. The tender process was conducted in accordance with Local Government Regulation 2009. Procurement Services have provided advice on the format for the contractual arrangement which will be adopted with the appointed tenderers. 3.2 Corporate Plan / Operational Plan Enabling Services: Infrastructure delivery - construction of council infrastructure. 3.3 Policy Implications This contract has been procured in accordance with the provisions of the following documents: • • • Council’s Procurement Policy 10-2150-006 Local Government Act 2009 Local Government Regulation 2012 Chapter 6. 3.4 Risk Management Implications The tenderers have been assessed according to Council’s Procurement Policy and Procedures. The increase in the MBRC sports field network, due to the Community Leasing Policy, will stretch the capacity of one provider to deliver all services. Therefore, to mitigate this risk, it is recommended that multiple suppliers be appointed to the relevant separable portions. 3.5 Delegated Authority Implications Following adoption of the recommendation, approval of subsequent purchase orders and day-today management of the contractors will be delegated to the relevant operations officers.

The successful tenderers will be subject to the same State and Federal environmental legislation that regulates Council’s park maintenance activities. 3.9 Social Implications Well-maintained community sport and recreation facilities encourage communities to participate in outdoor activities, with a positive impact on health and wellbeing. 3.10 Consultation / Communication Council practice for all works include requirements for advanced notice to internal and external stakeholders including sporting clubs and the community. Divisional Councillors are provided regular copies of programs and a works notification is installed onsite prior to commencement of work.
