President's Report and Discussion

Discussion on office use. It was decided to get a valuation on the office and hall rental rates and to hire the office space to GCRS 

It was decided to review the overall rental rates with no change to social function rates but an increase in other rates effective from 1st January. 

It was agreed that the new all of community council insurance approach be adopted by the GCC

There was to be a Bunyip Statue meeting at 10:30 on October 15th

It was noted that mid sized blocks in Gungahlin are now defined as 250 square meters. It was noted that the median size lot was 485 meters with a cost of $231K. There was considerable discussion on the reduction of block sizes and general agreement that more variety should be made available in Gungahlin and that the move to smaller block sizes without any compensatory increase in public space was undesirable and unnecessary.

It was noted that TAMS are reducing service levels because infrastructure development was funded from cash. In other words the ACT is using cash accounting instead of accrual accounting for its provision of both services and capital works. It was resolved to continue to object to this approach particularly with respect to the development of new areas where this approach leads inevitably to higher than justified prices of new land.

There was discussion on Gunsmoke and congratulations to the editorial and production team.

Treasurer Report

The Treasurers report was tabled and discussed

Executive Meeting Closed at 7:30 and the General Meeting started - the meeting was videotaped

There were 16 people in attendance.

Fred Kasparek the architect for CHC and "The Edge" gave a presentation and description of this development. It was noted that the development would have vista breaks, favourable orientation to the sun, and community gardens including the ability of residents to grow vegetables.

Tim Smith and Liz Clark from Action gave a presentation on the proposed new 15 minute bus service from Gunghalin through Civic to Barton. This service was being introduced as a "pilot" and if successful it would be continued. It was noted that there is presently no definition of success. Discussion ranged from off peak and weekend services, to green buses, the use of Epic as Park and Ride area, wandering buses and the new ticketing system.

Tony Gill and John Taylor from Roads ACT outlined the pedestrian and cycling strategy for the ACT. They also informed the GCC that there would be a display at the Town Centre n the 9th November

Minutes GCC Executive April 2009

Jason Hunter, Caroline Sayers from ACTPLA - Development Policy
Estelle Sydney-Smith, Kevin Cox, Alan Kerlin
Apologies Mathew Connors, Michell Holmes

The executive meeting was devoted to a discussion of the technical amendments to the Precinct Codes for mid sized blocks.

The discussion was wide and mainly covered the principles and procedures associated with how the idea of precinct codes would work and fit in with the rest of the planning procedures. It was generally agreed that the principles driving the precinct codes were more important than the particular details and it was agreed that where possible decisions would be refer to the guiding principles so that a consistent pattern of decision-making would be established but also where variations from the principles would be noted and the reasons given. This particular code is important - because not only does this sized block have no existing long-standing codes but because it will set a pattern for further precinct planning code development.

Issues raised and discussed were:

  • Estate developers will be given less scope for variations
  • Method of creating the codes (the process)
  • Compact block plan is an interim policy and should not be taken as a final policy
  • Mid sized block plan is a work in progress and how it develops will set the pattern
  • Definition of a mid size block
