03.03 ST GEORGE LIFE EDUCATION CENTRE - REQUEST FOR DONATION (F/00036)
(Report by Senior Administrative Officer, Mr L Mifsud)
- The following letter dated 20th February, 1997, has been received from the St George Life Education Centre requesting a donation from Council towards the Centre's operations within the community.
- "On behalf of the St George Life Education Centre Committee Members, I extend my thanks to you and your Council for your continuing support and co-operation in the storing and towing of the St George Life Education Mobile Van whilst operating in the Hurstville municipality during 1996.
The Van will visit 48 Primary schools within the St George area and instruct over 14,300 students in positive Health and Drug Education programmes during 1997, our 7th year in operation. Our committee will continue this community service throughout 1997 using a combination of funds from State Government grants and our own various fund raising activities. Our committee members work as volunteers and work very hard to raise the money needed to keep the program operating in the Hurstville community. Your Council has been most generous in the past by way of a community donation of $4,000 and I again seek your assistance in this matter towards this community service.
I would be pleased to complete any forms or supply further information that will enable your Council to process our community request."
The most recent donation provided to the Centre was in 1996 when Council at its meeting on 13th March, 1996 resolved as follows.
- "THAT a subsidy of $4,000 for 1996 be paid to the St George Life Education Centre under the provisions of Section 356(1) of the Local Government Act, 1993."
- "THAT the Centre be advised that future annual subsidies will now be paid in the first quarter of each calendar year and should the Centre wish to apply for a subsidy, an appropriate request should be submitted at that time."
Accordingly the following recommendation is submitted for Council's consideration.

03.04 LOCAL GOVERNMENT & SHIRES ASSOCIATIONS OF NSW - REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE WITH LEGAL COSTS - WILLOUGHBY CITY COUNCIL (L/00015)
(Report by Senior Administrative Officer, Mr L Mifsud)
- The following letter dated 21st February, 1997 has been received from the Local Government & Shires Associations of NSW requesting Councils to contribute towards the legal costs of Willoughby City Council in regard to a decision by the Court of Appeal in relation to the Willoughby Local Environmental Plan and specifically the foreshore building lines.
- "Willoughby City Council has approached the Association seeking assistance with legal costs in a matter in which it has been involved before the Court of Appeal.
The Council and the Minister for Urban Affairs and Planning were the respondents in an action in the Land and Environment Court challenging the validity of the Willoughby Local Environmental Plan and, specifically, the foreshore building lines (FBLs) under that instrument. Judgement was given on 6 May 1996 and has been reported at [1996] 90 LGERA 368. The presiding judge found that certain FBLs fixed under the LEP were invalid because they were not in close proximity to the foreshore nor were they on land which was an integral part of the foreshore setting. In reaching his decision he adopted a definition of 'foreshore' which substantially reduced the accepted meaning of the term. Further, he held that it was not open to a council by placing immutable lines on a map to create a foreshore protection zone unrelated to the foreshore (as he defined it). His findings brought into question the meaning of the term 'foreshore' and the reasonableness of the Council in applying FBLs. From this decision the Council and the Minister successfully appealed, although the Court of Appeal's decision has not yet been reported.
The matter is seen as being of significance to local government generally, because it confirmed both a well-established planning practice for the protection of the environment and the power of councils to determine appropriate development controls for their areas through the planning processes available under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. For this reason the Executives of the two Associations agreed to support the council.
Although the council was ultimately successful, the Court of Appeal's orders did not include an order for costs in its favour, and it is therefore necessary to seek contributions from other councils. The total of the council's legal costs is $65,105.00. In line with the Associations' policy this amount is apportioned between councils on the same basis as their subscriptions to the Associations. Your council's contribution is calculated as $479 and the Associations would appreciate receipt of a cheque at your earliest convenience."
In the past Council has agreed to make contributions such as this and therefore the following recommendation is submitted for Council's consideration.
| HURSTVILLE CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION NO: .04 CORPORATE & COMMUNITY SERVICES |
. Recommendation LOCAL GOVERNMENT & SHIRES ASSOCIATIONS OF NSW - REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE WITH LEGAL COSTS - WILLOUGHBY CITY COUNCIL (L/00015)
(Report by Senior Administrative Officer, Mr L Mifsud)
RECOMMENDATION
- THAT a contribution of $479.00 be made under the provisions of Section 356 of the Local Government Act, 1993 towards the legal costs of Willoughby City Council as indicated in the letter dated 21st February 1997 from the Local Government & Shires Associations of NSW.

03.05 ST GEORGE LIFE EDUCATION CENTRE - NEW SOUTH WALES LIFE EDUCATION AUSTRALIA STATE CONFERENCE (C/00143)
(Report by Senior Administrative Officer, Mr L Mifsud)
- The following letter dated 15th February, 1997, addressed to His Worship the Mayor, Clr Olah, has been received from the St George Life Education Centre requesting Council's assistance with various matters associated with the New South Wales Life Education Australia State Conference.
- "The St George Life Education Centre will host the New South Wales Life Education Australia State Conference that will be held in August this year and I would like to if it is possible to ask you to invite the New South Wales Life Education Australia State Board to an official Mayor's reception.
Further to our brief discussion at last year's "Carols by Candle Light" I would on behalf of the St George Life Education Centre like to ask the City of Hurstville Council to participate in this important conference and if possible host the New South Wales State Board meeting which will be held on Friday afternoon the 15th August from 12 to 6.00pm. There will be approximately twelve State Board Members and support staff in attendance.
The St George Life Education Committee would also like to ask you, would it be possible for the City of Hurstville Council to give a Civic Award to Mr Ken Hatton for his services to Life Education. Ken is the Chairman of the New South Wales Board for Life Education Australia, Ken is a Past President and a charter member of the Rotary Club of Brookvale and has been associated with Life Education and the Manly Centre since 1986 when he was asked to raise funds for establishing the new Manly Warringah Centre. But his distinguished service for Life Education has been his involvement since 1988 with the New South Wales State Board and since 1992 he has been its Chairman.
The St George Life Education is proud to be asked to host this year's New South Wales State Conference, it will be an opportunity to assist us raise our profile and renew associations with organisations and people who have been supporters of St George Life Education over the past six (6) years and we look forward to working with you and Hurstville City Council who have been one of our major supporters."
With regard to the request for Council to host a Board Meeting on Friday, 15th August, 1997 from 12 noon to 6.00pm, Mr Hulse has advised that approximately 12 to 15 people would be in attendance at the meeting. Council's Entertainment Centre Officer has indicated that the Wandarrah Room would be available as requested and that the normal fee would be approximately $168.00.Council's policy in regard to requests for the free use of facilities on Fridays requires that the matter be referred to Council for determination.
With regard to the holding of a Civic Reception, Mr Hulse has requested a Civic Reception be held on Friday, 15th August, 1997, preferably around the same time as the Board Meeting. The Councillors' Suite is available on this date if required.
Also, Mr Hulse has requested that a Civic Award be made to Mr Ken Hatton at the Civic Reception for his services to Life Education.
It is considered that Council should support the St George Life Education Centre with the hosting of the New South Wales Life Education Australia State Conference and agree to the requests for a Civic Reception, a Board Meeting and the presentation of a Civic Award to Mr Ken Hatton.
Accordingly the following recommendation is submitted for Council's consideration.
| HURSTVILLE CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION NO: .05 CORPORATE & COMMUNITY SERVICES |
. Recommendation ST GEORGE LIFE EDUCATION CENTRE - NEW SOUTH WALES LIFE EDUCATION AUSTRALIA STATE CONFERENCE (C/00143)
(Report by Adnior Administrative Officer, Mr L Mifsud)

03.06 ST GEORGE SOCCER ASSOCIATION INC - LEASE OF PEAKHURST PARK (P/00049)
- Members will recall that at the meeting of Council held on 29th January, 1997 consideration was given to a report regarding the possible renewal of the recently expired lease of part of Peakhurst Park to the St George Soccer Association Inc.
Following consideration of this report, the Council subsequently resolved as follows:-
- "THAT the St George Soccer Association be advised that Council is prepared to consider the possibility of entering into an agreement on the basis of a lease period of five (5) years without the option of a further five years and on terms and conditions to be negotiated."
- "I have been instructed to write to you re the above lease on which we are negotiating. My committee are happy to hold the lease at Peakhurst No.5 but have found that the increase in the fees quite steep (from $410.00 for two (2) grounds to $800.00 for one (1) ground).
Could Council find a way to reduce this fee in some way so that it is not such a huge increase?
Looking forward to hearing a favourably reply from you."
- "Following Council's resolution at its meeting of 26th February 1997, regarding the above matter, discussions were held between myself and Mrs. Dorothy Buckley of St. George Soccer Association. We discussed the area of playing fields which should be incorporated into the new lease agreement and it was agreed that only Field No. 5 (enclosed field) with its adjoining amenities block and light towers should be leased. The recently expired lease covered these, as well as Field No. 1, for which they paid $410 per annum.
Considering the fact that they wish to lease Field No. 5 for the full year (two seasons) and subsequently have sole usage year round, it was estimated that an appropriate annual fee of $800 be applied, increased annually in accordance with the C.P.I. adjustments.
Council's current seasonal charge is $275/season/field. Fields not covered by this sole usage agreement could be expected to attract income of $550 per annum plus the occasional "one off" hiring charge of $130 per instance. This 'one off ' hiring is not possible under the proposed lease agreement.
- For Council's information, St. George District Cricket Club, under its current licence agreement, pay Council approximately $1,360 per season for Hurstville Oval while St. George Australian Football Club currently pay $1,700 per season for Olds Park No. 1 Field. Whilst Peakhurst Park No. 5 Field is not of the calibre or size of either of the abovementioned facilities, $400 per season ($800 per annum) for sole usage is considered fair and equitable.
I subsequently recommend that Council set the lease agreement fee at $800 per annum plus an annual increase for C.P.I. adjustments."
It is also noted that this aspect of the matter has been addressed by the Manager - Parks & Recreation in the above comments and whilst the comments put forward by the Association are appreciated, in the light of all circumstances it is suggested that the proposed annual fee of $800 is fair and equitable.
Accordingly in order to allow this matter to proceed, the following recommendation is submitted for Council's consideration.
| HURSTVILLE CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION NO: .06 CORPORATE & COMMUNITY SERVICES |
. Recommendation ST GEORGE SOCCER ASSOCIATION INC - LEASE OF PEAKHURST PARK (P/00049)
RECOMMENDATION
- THAT the St George Soccer Association Inc be advised that Council is prepared to proceed with the lease of Field No.5 within Peakhurst Park to the Association for a period of five (5) years on the basis of the payment of an annual fee of $800 increased annually in accordance with CPI adjustments, and subject to an appropriate lease document being prepared by Council's solicitors and containing such terms and conditions as considered appropriate by Council's solicitors.
FURTHER, THAT in the event of the Association indicating its preparedness to proceed on the above basis, Council's solicitors be requested to prepare the necessary lease documentation in this regard and that the Mayor and General Manager be authorised to execute such documentation under the Common Seal of Council.

- "On behalf of the Board of Cauldron Arts Co-operative Ltd, I would like to thank you most sincerely for your letter dated 11 February, 1997. Your comments are greatly appreciated by the Board and members. It is gratifying to know that our efforts to provide the community and our members with high quality theatrical and artistic experiences are being recognised.

As a community based, non-profit, youth oriented arts organisation, we would appreciate if the fee for the hiring of the Civic Theatre could be waived or reduced on this occasion.
We look forward to receiving a favourable response to our request."
- The Council's policy in respect of matters such as this is reproduced, in part, hereunder.
- "(a) For hire on Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Public Holidays by any organisation, the full hiring charges as fixed by Council from time to time be applied to such usage.
- (b) For hiring on days other than Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Public Holidays by charitable, non-profit making local organisations located within the City, and schools within the Cities of Hurstville and Rockdale and Municipality of Kogarah, the amount charged be the actual cost to Council for wages and direct costs plus ten (10) per cent."
- (c) For hirings at any time by profit making organisations, the full hiring charges as affixed by Council from time to time be applied to such usage.
- FURTHER, THAT applications for free or reduced rental falling outside Council's policy be referred to Council for determination."
As indicated in the above letter the Cauldron Arts Co-operative Ltd is a community based, non-profit, youth oriented arts organisation and as the request for the use of the Civic Theatre is on a Friday, the request for the free or reduced rental is referred to Council for consideration in accordance with the policy outlined earlier.

03.09 MAYOR OF SHIROISHI, CLR T KAWAI
(Report by Manager - Corporate Services, Mr W Park)
- The following letter has been received from Mr K Tokura on behalf of the Mayor of Shiroishi extending an invitation to visit Shiroishi.
- "I would like to extend my warm friendship to all of you.
It is already passed two years and half since we established a Sister City relation. It is also my great pleasure to express my great appreciation to Mayor and your citizens as a result of their great effort where we could be developed much more friendships and many exchanges between our two cities even cross over the Equator.
As one of our major policy, the recreation of our city Shiroishi has a key-word of [Welfare, Culture and Circumstance] which core is cultural development. We have been built up Cultural-Sports Activities Centre called [Cube] for this and it was opened in may this year.
For this occasion we decided to hold the Opening Celebration with a few events during three days from June 27th to 29th. I would like to invite you to visit Shiroishi for inspection of this new facility and to attend Gala Concerts.
This facility is a music hall but built for multi-complex purpose where all wall was built with glass and installed authentic Pipe-Organ (rare in Japan), so we are expecting you to be enjoyed our concerts as well.
It is our great appreciation if Mayor Olah with Mayress and other two couples of your Counsillors be able to visit us for this opening ceremony.
Opening Events:
June 27th: First Evening [Gala Cube Concert]
June 28th: Second Evening [Gala Concert]
June 29th: Third Evening [The Eccentric Opera]"
Members would be aware of the significance of our Sister City relationship with Shiroishi and the benefits received by a number of school students visiting Japan, in addition to the hospitality extended to Councillors and staff who have visited their fine city on official visits.
The Official Opening of Shiroishi's Cultural/Sports Centre will be a major event and accordingly invitations have been extended to all of their Sister Cities to attend. The Official Party would leave Sydney on Thursday, 26th June and depart Tokyo on or after Wednesday, 2nd July.
The approximate cost of the visit will be $1,660 being the cost of return air fares and a rail pass whilst in Japan. This cost is to be borne by the participants as it is not the Council's policy to pay for overseas visits to Sister Cities.
The Mayor of Shiroishi has asked for council to confirm the number of people accepting the invitation and therefore Members are requested to consider this as a matter or urgency. An itinerary is available upon request.

03.19 THE SOUTH PEAKHURST PROGRESS ASSOCIATION - REQUEST TO LEASE LAND AT AKOONAH PLACE, PEAKHURST (009267)
(Report by Senior Administrative Officer, Mr L Mifsud)
- The South Peakhurst Progress Association has occupied the Community Hall in Akoonah Place, Peakhurst for over thirty (30) years.
Recently the Association has sought clarification from Council in regard to the ownership of the Community Hall and the land occupied by the Hall.
The Association was advised by Council that the subject land is known as Lot 158, DP210867, 5A Akoonah Place, Peakhurst and is owned by Council in Fee Simple and that it would appear that a lease was not entered into between the Association and Council for the use of the land.
Ms Phyllis Thompson and Ms Marion Stell from the Association have now forwarded the following letter dated 5th February, 1997 requesting Council to formalise lease documentation for the use of land and the Community Hall.
- "Further to Council's letter dated 23rd January, 1997 and following a phone conversation with the Senior Administration Officer, Mr Laurie Mifsud, we the undersigned request Council to formalise our use of land known as Lot 158, DP210867, 5a Akoonah Place, Peakhurst.
We are unable to confirm or deny that a lease was not entered into with Council some 30 years ago when our hall was built as our Office Bearers of that time are now deceased and Council's staff who dealt with them would be long retired.
It does seem unusual that an established public body such as Hurstville Council would allow our use of the land without some form of written agreement.
We were told when expressing our concerns on the matter some years ago to Mr Howard Wallace that a number of documents were lost owing to the basement of the old Council building being flooded and it was intimated that paperwork pertaining to our hall could have been among them.
Unfortunately we will never know.
Which brings us to the present time and the needs of today.
We recently informed the Mayor, Councillor Peter Olah, that we are reactivating the South Peakhurst Progress Association for several reasons.
a. To support his and Council's protest to the proposed Holsworthy site for the second airport.
b. We feel the residents of Peakhurst Heights should be made aware of the pitfalls associated with such a project and be given the right to voice their concerns.
c. The Progress Association Hall was built entirely with residents' donations which were given willingly to ensure a Community Hall in this area and we feel that it is our responsibility to maintain their venue.
We are arranging public meetings with Alderman Olah and his associates which will put our hall to further community use.
We would appreciate a speedy settlement of our need for legal documentation regarding the hall and all the salient points associated with its continuing use."
1. 1961 - Subdivision No.2894 submitted to Council. Correspondence with Hooker Rex Developments regarding provision of land for the construction of a Community Hall.
2. Lot 158 Akoonah Place agreed on as to the location of the Hall and negotiations with the developers to have the land, originally designated as Public Garden Recreation Space, transfer to Council in Fee Simple.
3. Memorandum of Transfer dated 15th February 1962, transferring land from Town and Country Developments Pty Ltd to Council - notation on transfer - this land originally intended for Public Garden and Recreation Space now required for erection of a Progress Hall - Certificate of Title 191.
4. Certificate of Title in respect of 158 Akoonah Place, Volume 9153, Folio 64 transferring land to Council on 20th March, 1962 - Public Garden and Recreation Space has been deleted from the Title and land transferred in Fee Simple - Certificate of Title 191.
5. 1963 - Approval given by Council for the construction of a Progress Hall - Council minutes and reports indicate building approval and refund of building fees because the Hall would be of benefit to the community.
6. 1971 - Approaches made to Council by the Progress Association for a loan for the purpose of carrying out building extensions to the existing Hall - no reports in minutes or Officers' reports regarding occupancy of the site.
7. June 1972 - Town Clerk's and Finance Committee report indicating a letter received from the Association thanking Council for its offer of a loan.
8. June 1972 - Building approval granted for abovementioned extensions.
9. Date of acknowledgement of loan dated 8th September, 1972 between Council and Messrs Waudby and Lawrence in the sum of $2,000 to enable the Association to carry out and complete extensions, additions and alteration to the building - current agreement 335.
Recently, a further search of Council's files and legal documents register has also failed to locate any lease documentation between Council and the Association for the use of the subject land.
Documents were lost in a flood of the basement in the 1970s but legal documents such as a lease document were not kept in the basement.
Therefore as Council owns the land and there is no formal lease documentation, Council would need to seek legal advice in regard to the ownership of the Community Hall should the building be no longer utilised by the Association.
Due to there being no formal lease documentation, no rental has been paid to Council however the Association has been paying the Water Board accounts.
The Association also lets the Hall out to various groups including pre-school play groups; for Judo lessons; for various meetings; and to the Association for Children with Learning Disabilities. The Association has advised that it has both building insurance and public liability insurance.
The subject Community Hall is a brick building with a kitchen, stage area, male and female toilets, storage area and a piano together with children's play equipment outside the Hall.
As indicated the subject land is owned by Council in Fee Simple and is classified as "Community Land" under the Local Government Act 1993.
The Manager - Parks and Recreation has indicated that the subject land has been incorporated in the Plan of Management for Community Land (Parks) adopted by Council at its meeting on 26th June, 1996 which allows Council to issue leases and licences for use of open space where appropriate, in compliance with the Local Government Act 1993 regulations.
Sections 45, 46 and 47 of the Local Government Act 1993 allow Council to grant a lease or licence of community land and are as follows.
- "What dealings can a council have in community land?
45. (1) A council has no power to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of community land.
(2) A council may grant a lease or licence of community land, but only in accordance with section 46 and (if relevant) section 47.
(3) A council may grant any other estate in community land only in accordance with a plan of management or an Act, other than this Act.
Leases and licences of community land - generally
46. (1) A council may grant a lease or licence of community land if:
(a) the grant of such a lease or licence is expressly authorised by a plan of management for the community land; and
(b) it does so in accordance with such provisions of the plan of management as apply to the granting of the lease or licence.
(2) An authorisation in a plan of management for the granting of a lease or licence may be limited to the granting of a lease or licence for a public purpose or by reference to other matters.
(3) A council must not grant a lease or licence for a period (including any period for which the lease or licence could be renewed by the exercise of an option) exceeding 21 years.
(4) A council must not grant a lease or licence for a period (including any period for which the lease or licence could be renewed by the exercise of an option) exceeding 5 years unless it has also complied with section 47.
Leases and licences of community land for more than 5 years - additional requirements
47 (1) If a council proposes to grant a lease or licence of community land for a period (including any period for which the lease or licence could be renewed by the exercise of an option) exceeding 5 years, it must:
(a) give public notice of the proposal; and
(b) exhibit notice of the proposal on the land to which the proposal relates; and
(c) give notice of the proposal to such persons as appear to it to own or occupy the land adjoining the community land.
(2) A notice of the proposal must include:
* information sufficient to identify the community land concerned
* the purpose for which the land will be used under the proposed lease or licence
* the term of the proposed lease or licence (including particulars of any options for renewal)
* the name of the proposed lessee or licensee (if known)
* a statement that submissions in writing may be made to the council concerning the proposal within a period, not less than 28 days, specified in the notice.
(3) Any person may make a submission in writing to the council during the period specified for the purpose in the notice.
(4) Before granting the lease or licence, the council must consider all submissions duly made to it.
(5) If a person makes a submission by way of objection to the proposal, the council must not grant the lease or licence except with the Minister's consent.
(6) If the council applies for the Minister's consent, it must forward with its application:
* a copy of the plan of management for the land
* details of all objections received and a statement setting out, for each objection, the council's decision and the reasons for its decision
* a statement setting out all the facts concerning the proposal to grant the lease or licence
* a copy of the newspaper notice of the proposal
* a statement setting out the terms, conditions, restrictions and covenants proposed to be included in the lease or licence
* a statement setting out the manner in which and the extent to which the public interest would, in the council's opinion, be affected by the granting of the proposed lease or licence, including the manner in which and the extent to which the needs of the area with respect to community land would, in the council's opinion, be adversely affected by the granting of the proposed lease or licence.
(7) On receipt of the application, the Minister must request the Director of Planning to furnish a report concerning the application within such period as the Minister specifies.
(8) After considering the application and any report of the Director of Planning, the Minister, if satisfied that subsections (1), (2) and (6) have been complied with, may consent to the granting of a lease or licence of the whole or part of the land to which the application relates subject to such terms and conditions as the Minister specifies.
(9) The Minister's consent is conclusive evidence that the council has complied with subsections (1), (2) and (6)."
Council would be required to take various action as outlined in the above Sections of the Act, depending on the term of the lease and whether any submissions were received regarding any proposed lease.
As indicated earlier, The South Peakhurst Progress Association has occupied the Community Hall in Akoonah Place, Peakhurst for over thirty (30) years and the Hall is used for the benefit of the community and is maintained by the Association.
The Association has indicated that it wants to utilise the Hall for further community use and as there is no formal lease between Council and the Association is now requesting Council to formalise legal documentation.
Ms Phyllis Thompson from the Association has verbally advised that at present the Association only has three (3) members and that there are no office bearers, constitution or financial statements, nor is the Association incorporated.
Ms Thompson also advised that the rental received is used to cover the Association's outgoings such as water rates, maintenance and insurance.
As indicated earlier the Association is being reactivated and public meetings are proposed to ensure the Association continues.
It is considered that as the Association has not been active for some time it would not be appropriate for Council to consider a lease at this stage with the Association for the use of the Community Hall until the public meetings are held and the matter of reactivating the Association is clarified.
Also, prior to consideration of a lease details regarding membership, office bearers, financial statements, constitution, incorporation and insurance should be submitted to Council.
Accordingly the following recommendation is submitted for Council's consideration.
