security, safety and privacy.

An email (27.1.15) from a resident of Sylvester Crescent, Malvern East, objecting to Item 3: 1 Sylvester



Questions to Council Officers from Councillors
EAST END OF PARKER STREET, SOUTH YARRA
Cr John Chandler referred to discussions he has had with the Manager, Transport &
Parking Unit, Ian McLauchlan, about revision to parking at the east end of Malcolm Street,
South Yarra. He asked where this matter is at.
The General Manager City Works, Simon Thomas, took the matter on notice and advised
that he would provide an update Councillors by email.
B
PARKING IN ELIZABETH STREET
Cr John Chandler said he understood that Council was consulting with Victoria Police in
relation to parking restrictions in Elizabeth Street near Prahran Market and the No Parking
area that commences at 7.00pm. It has been suggested that the Aldi store would benefit
from extended parking in that area. He expressed the hope that these discussions could be
resolved and a slight extension to parking hours be approved. He asked when this matter
was likely to come to Council.
The General Manager City Works, Simon Thomas, took the matter on notice and advised
that he would provide an update Councillors by email.
C
GARBAGE IN ELIZABETH STREET
Cr John Chandler said there had been a number of complaints about unsightly garbage in
the communal rubbish area near the Kentucky Fried Chicken store in Elizabeth Street. He
said he understood that Council Officers were negotiating a resolution and asked how that
was progressing.
The General Manager, Planning and Development, Stuart Draffin, said that a resolution
had been reached before Christmas 2014 with rubbish removed and the area kept tidy
however Council Officers were aware that the situation had regressed. Fines have been
Page 7
COUNCIL MINUTES
MONDAY 2 FEBRUARY 2015
issued and Council Officers are continuing to pursue the matter with traders in the area.
D
TRAFFIC STUDY OSMENT STREET, MOUNT PLEASANT GROVE & ASHLEIGH ROAD
Cr Claude Ullin said he was not sure if the request for a traffic study for Osment Street,
Mount Pleasant Grove and Ashleigh Road had been approved at a Council Meeting. If not,
he expressed the hope that the survey would be carried out, especially in the light of
concerns about New Street, Victory Square and the new development at 590 Orrong Road.
He asked that Council Officers prepare a report.
The General Manager, Planning and Development, Stuart Draffin, took the question on
notice.
The Mayor, Cr Sehr, noted that Council had received a response in relation to this matter,
but that it needed further investigation.
H.
Tabling of Petitions and Joint Letters
Cr Sehr tabled a petition with six signatures from residents of 462-464 Malvern Road, Prahran, drawing to
the attention of Council the excessive odour produced by a Subway store at 462-464 Malvern Road,
Prahran. The odour emanating from the store permeates all three residential properties, the common areas
as well as the private courtyard of residents, several days per week. At its worst, the smell is overpowering
and permeates all rooms within the adjoining units. There appear to be little to no measures for adequate
odour management for this commercial store. Continual dumping of garbage on sidewalks, common car
parking areas and neglect of commercial bins further adds to environmental pollution and offensive odours.
The petitioners request that Council investigate the environmental odour and waste management of the
store, and request that necessary action be taken to minimise the significant impact on the residents of
462-464 Malvern Road.
PROCEDURAL MOTION: MOVED CR CHANDLER SECONDED CR ULLIN
That Council receive the petition.


School Crossing Supervisor Campaign: The City of Boroondara is running a campaign to recruit more
School Crossing Supervisors, and has created a range of targeted videos that other councils can
access. So far the campaign has been a great success with 21 new recruits in 2014 compared to six
recruits in the previous two years. There has also been a substantial amount of media interest in the
campaign.

National Awards for Local Government: Applications for the 2015 National Awards for Local
Government are now open, closing on 27 February. Cr Ullin expressed the hope that the City of
Stonnington would make applications in some areas.

Royal Commission into Family Violence: Terms of Reference: The proposed Terms of Reference have
been announced by the State Government for the Royal Commission into Family Violence, with a
strong focus on early intervention and response. Cr Ullin noted that the City of Stonnington had its own
campaign prior to Christmas and expressed the hope that Council would continue its support.

That Council advise VCAT and other interested parties that had a Failure to

would have been issued for the land located at 14 – 18 Porter Street, Prahran under
the Stonnington Planning Scheme for the construction of a multi dwelling
development and a reduction of the car parking requirement in a Mixed Use Zone
and Design and Development Overlay 7 on the following grounds:
5.
The proposed building mass, scale and lack of appropriate setbacks does not
respond to the context of the area and will adversely affect the adjoining
residential properties.
6.
The ground floor interface with Porter Street provides a poor urban design
outcome for the proposed development.
7.
The proposed development provides an unsatisfactory level of internal amenity
for future occupants of the dwellings.
8.
The proposed development provides an unsatisfactory layout and design of the
car parking areas.
9.
The proposed development provides an unsatisfactory landscaping response
for the site and the neighbourhood character.
10. The proposed development will result in unreasonable amenity impacts to
adjoining dwellings, through visual bulk and overlooking.
11. The finished floor levels and courtyards will not provide protection from
flooding that may be created by the development.
Page 10
COUNCIL MINUTES
MONDAY 2 FEBRUARY 2015
12. The removal of the existing northern boundary wall will result in the loss of
safety and security to the adjoining properties to the north. The proposed new
boundary wall is a low timber paling fence, which fails to provide the security,
safety and privacy that the existing boundary wall provides.

Cr Koce announced good news for the residents of Grange Road. After lengthy discussions with VicRoads,
agreement has been reached for a 12 month trial in Grange Road. The speed limit will be reduced from
60kph to 50kph over that time. Cr Koce noted that this was the result of considerable work by residents
who went to every house in the street with a petition, gaining signatures from all residents. The matter
came to a North Ward consultative meeting a few months ago. Council listened to local residents and
worked hard with VicRoads. Cr Koce congratulated the General Manager City Works, Simon Thomas, and
his team who had to work hard to get this reduced speed limit. He said that serious safety concerns were
raised by local residents who were worried that a fatality might occur. Cyclists were narrowly escaping
being hit and Grange Road was being used as a rat run. A reduction of 10kph in the speed limit results in a
very small reduction in travel time and significantly improves safety outcomes. Cr Koce said he looked
forward to the results of the 12 month trial.
