Motion: (York/Kiat)
That Council:
1. Take immediate steps

earliest opportunity (noting the next in-take will be in October 2017)
– with a focus on pledging actions focused on solar and renewables
leadership.

a. Commit to Priorities
and Key Actions as required under the Partnership (noting the preferred focus

immediate actions with the need for more impactful, longer term solutions
c. Achieve 100%
divestment from fossil fuel aligned investments at the earliest possible
date, based on a financially responsible pathway
d. Make the Inner West
Council a leader in Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy by:

developments are fitted with Solar PV cells.
o Working towards the retrofitting of all
Council-owned buildings with appropriately sized Solar PV cells –
potentially through a bulk tendering process – where possible.
e. Establish an Office
of Renewable Energy Innovation (REI) to make the Inner West community a
leader in renewable energy innovation by:

options for adopting solar and renewable energy in our area.
o Helping drive community renewables
ownership by supporting community energy organisations in the Inner
West.
o Providing support to help residents and

Solar Savers program – with a goal for the installation of cost-saving
Solar PV cells on all eligible roofs.
o Providing a brokerage service to help
organisations looking to invest in community energy projects to identify
potential partners with suitable roof space.
o Investigating the viability of
transitioning the Inner West Council vehicle fleet to an electric fleet.

for the Inner West Council, under which actions under the Partnership and the
focus of the new Office of Renewable Energy Innovation are aligned:
a. Noting that
Priorities and Agreed Actions under the Partnership are required to be agreed
within 6 months of signing onto the partnership, and should both leverage and
reflect a broader IWC climate and renewables strategy
b. That before the
agreement of these priorities and actions under the Partnership, Councillors
should receive a briefing prior to the end of 2017 from Council staff on
current climate and renewable actions underway across Council, and options

C1017 Item 21 SYDENHAM TO BANKSTOWN URBAN
RENEWAL CORRIDOR STRATEGY SUBMISSION
|
|
Motion: Drury/Hesse
1. That Council calls on
the NSW Minister for Planning to abandon the Sydenham to Bankstown Strategy
and allow the Inner West Council to do the town planning along the corridor
in consultation with our community.
2. That Council thanks the
Department of Planning for the opportunity to respond to the Sydenham to
Bankstown Strategy. We attach the following amended Inner West Council
submission with local community groups submissions as attachments.
3. That Council notes that
there is considerable community anger about the potential effect of the
implementation of the Strategy on inner West communities.
4. That Council is concerned
about that the Strategy imposes unwanted and inappropriate major changes to
density and scale, largely destroys the historic character and fabric of our
low-scale suburbs and includes a lack of transition between high, medium and
low density and existing single dwelling areas. In addition, its dwelling
targets are simply too big to accommodate existing constraints in our suburbs
such as small lots, existing affordable and contributory housing and valuable
and diminishing employment land. Council is also concerned that this plan
does not provide sufficient protection for our current amenity, built form
heritage and there is an inadequate assessment of traffic and parking
impacts.
5. That Council notes with
concern that new housing construction is planned at a time when our community
is also likely to be experiencing significant traffic and noise impacts, and
reduced transport capacity, as a result of the proposed construction of the
Metro line. Council lacks confidence that the planning for the necessary
infrastructure to support the increased populations proposed has occurred.
The plan does not provide for the community infrastructure needed including
open space, playing fields, schools, hospitals and child-care centres. We
also note a lack of a clear affordable housing plan and the loss of lands for
employment and our thriving arts community.
6. Specifically, Council
requests that the NSW Minister for Planning;
• abandon the
Sydenham to Bankstown Strategy and allow the Inner West Council the
opportunity to complete a revised LEP which considers all existing and
proposed development, including beyond the Sydenham to Bankstown Corridor;
• provides the Inner
west Council will additional funding to complete the LEP
• commits to not
impose Section 117 directions until a new LEP is in place;
• restricts the
ability of proponents of rezoning applications to rely on the Strategy in
draft form and in particular the proposed rezoning of Carrington Road
Marrickville; and
• agrees to provide
SEPP 70 for affordable housing in line with the Inner West Affordable Housing
Policy
7. In line with the
considered views of our community the Council requires that the General
Manger amend the submission before submitting it to indicate that:
• Council does not
accept increased density inconsistent of the MLEP based on the Sydenham to
Bankstown Urban Renewal Corridor
• the block bounded
by Hercules, Consett and Terrace Rd be returned to a single dwelling area, in
line with the 2015 Marrickville Council submission and in light of advice
from officers that the block contains potential heritage areas and items.
• the intensity of
development around this block needs to be reduced , in particular the Parade
be also returned to a single dwelling area and that the height of development
is significantly reduced on Hercules St East to ensure a harmonious interface
with Hercules St West.”
• that building
height alongside Dulwich Hill light rail station should not be increased, and
that any planning proposal should seek to protect Dulwich Hill public school
from overshadowing and privacy impacts,
• just because the
Council submission does not indicate disagreement with development any street
is not to read as support
• we do not support
compulsory property resumptions
8. Further we require the
General Manger to have the submission stress that we are extremely concerned
about the potential highly disruptive cumulative traffic, noise and other
impacts from both private construction for new housing and the proposed
construction of the new Metro line, along with the reduced commuter rail
capacity, between 2019 and 2024 and request that this issue is thoroughly
investigated by the NSW Government before the strategy is finalised.

C1017 Item 32 Notice
of Motion: The Return of Local Democracy to the Inner West

Motion: (Porteous/Stamolis)

democracy to the Inner West as a matter of urgency.
2. A report be brought to the December

West as soon as possible. This report to include the following:

local and specialist committees and advisory groups;
d. Proposals which enable a localised (possibly
ward-based rather than a one size fits all) approach to all council’s
decision-making; and

meaningful consultation with the community.
3. That
Council record its unwillingness to fund and hold a plebiscite on

requirement for either a complying development certificate or development
application to allow for compliance to be assessed and conditions
