Notices of Motion at Manningham 2008-2012

Tuesday, November 29, 2011

The following motion by Cr Graeme Macmillan was approved 6-3:

That:

(A) Manningham City Council investigates ceasing including electronic recordings of Council Meetings on its website from the first Council meeting of 2012 onwards, and restricts access of such recordings to Council's internal records.

(B) Manningham City Council investigates introducing bylaws and penalties prohibiting Councillors publishing materials, whether in electronic, print or verbal format, that is critical of their fellow Councillors.

Page 5606 of the minutes show that our Liberal mayor Geoff Gough, Green councillor David Ellis and Stephen Mayne were the only opponents. All three Labor Party councillors supported it, as did the three Koonung councillors.

Cr Mayne lodged a recission motion the following morning which meant we repeated the debate at the next ordinary council meeting, held on December 13. This is something you only do if you believe new circumstances or information has come to light.

In this case, I felt that the hotly contested mayoral election scheduled for the following week had influenced some councillors into supporting Cr Macmillan's motion in the hope that he would also support them near the top of his preference in a six-way ballot for mayor.

The recission motion was ultimately successful 4-2, with Heidi Ward councillor Grace Lavella changing her position after a strong backlash from the community. Unfortunately, none of the 3 Koonung ward councillors were able to vote at the December 13 council meeting, due to various family or personal health issues.

The local papers have covered the attack on free speech quite prominently over recent weeks as follows:

MOVED: REID
SECONDED: MACMILLAN

Following the reasoning of the explanatory report to the C88 Amendment, Manningham City Council hereby resolves to support the decision of the Planning Minister and the Department of Planning & Community Development to approve Amendment C88. Council notes that:

(A) Demand for residential aged care catering for people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds is increasing rapidly, particularly in the Eastern Metropolitan region

(B) This year's allocation of residential aged care places by the Commonwealth is focusing on providing for people from such backgrounds.

(C) Increasing the number of aged-care beds for our cultural and linguistically diverse communities is consistent with meeting a range of Federal, State and Local Policies and social needs.

(D) The amendment will not lead to any adverse environmental effects on land, which is already lawfully used for accommodation purposes.

With regard to strong community sentiment relating to on-street parking around the Doncaster Hill area, and in particular, the petition received from residents of Tiffany and Adele Courts Doncaster, Manningham City Council resolves to:

1. Reflect the wishes of the majority of residents by immediately implementing Permit Parking restrictions in Tiffany and Adele Courts, Doncaster, to ensure consistency with the adjacent streets which already have these parking conditions.

2. Examine other streets around Doncaster Hill which may also have parking restrictions inconsistent with their adjoining streets and recommend measures for these streets.

3. Undertake a comprehensive strategic review of the current and projected future parking and traffic volumes around Doncaster Hill, with recommendations on suitable parking restrictions, enforcement and mitigation strategies. The review should reflect the likely continued increase in residential and commercial development within the area, particularly should the Eastern Golf Course redevelopment eventuate. It should also critically examine the current trend in parking dispensations for commercial developments and consider the impact of possible new public transport e.g. tram.”

Federal Government's Emissions Trading Scheme
By COUNCILLOR ELLIS


In relation to the Federal Government's Emissions Trading Scheme, this Council supports the efforts of Manningham Council officers to reduce carbon emissions in Manningham as demonstrated in the innovative CRAG program to deliver solar-electric power generation to some 200 Manningham ratepayers who have contributed to the scheme.

Council notes the potential of the continuation of this scheme, and other initiatives as outlined in Climate 2020, to make a significant local contribution to Australia's response to the urgent matter of Global Warming. Council is now seriously concerned that the impact of the Federal Government's Emissions Trading Scheme as currently drafted will actually negate all such efforts and expenditure by Council and ratepayers through including consequent carbon reductions in an overall ‘carbon cap' for the benefit of major carbon polluters, with no additional benefit in terms of total national carbon emissions.

Council calls on the Federal Government to ensure that legislation for carbon reduction does not negate the efforts of Councils and local communities but instead maximises and encourages their contribution to the national effort.

Council directs the appropriate officers to prepare a submission to the current Senate inquiry in support of Council's view and to notify and seek input from relevant bodies including MAV, VLGA and other municipal Councils.

MOVED: ELLIS
SECONDED: LA VELLA

That the Motion be adopted with the words ‘all such' being replaced by ‘much of the'.
