A wide ranging discussion followed on the need to push for a regional sporting complex with Council and State government, not Captain Oldrey Park, except for Netball, but an area with more space such as Gundary Oval or the Rosedale development.

strategic planning.
Captain Oldrey Park master plan was signed off by Council, and the accessibility

available in the current financial year.
The Association approached Banksia Village to propose a joint funding contribution
to a pathway project offering safer access from Heath St to Broulee supermarket and

the work but do not regard it as a priority. The cost estimate has just come to hand

steps to viewing platform and road drainage on Coronation Drive and Broulee Rd.
The President closed with a plea to maintain the community association as it serves

suggestion to be followed up via the website is to have links to other local
community associations in the area.

Broulee Mossy Point Community Association Quarterly Meeting
Thursday 16th May 2019 Broulee Public School
Thanks to everyone who attended the last Broulee and Mossy Point Community Association Meeting at the end of May.

MINUTES
Present
Beverly Paris, June Carter, Peter Dunn, Margaret Dunn, John Anderson, Lindsay Boyton, Ross Hayward, Andrew and Lynn Bain, Robert Heinemann

Apologies
Barb Roberts

The BMPCA meeting clashed with the Climate Conundrum Forum at St Peters College.

Previous Minutes
Acceptance moved Peter Dunn, seconded Andrew Bain. Agreed.

Correspondence
Letter from Allan Jevons seeking BMPCA support for ESC to amend angle of footpath at top of hill at Annetts Parade/Coronation Drive intersection. It is particularly dangerous for mobility scooters. BMPCA supports Council finding a solution to the matter which has been raised on a number of occasions by BMPCA members in the past.

Treasurer’s Report
$1,005 in Pathway account
$6, 492.68 in General account. This includes refund from Council for fees charged by Department of Lands for Sandcastle Competition and 2019 membership fees which are due.
Acceptance moved Lindsay Boyton, seconded June Carter. Agreed.

General Business
  • ESC 2019/2020 Budget available for public comment. $50,000 earmarked for trail through the Captain Oldrey Park bushland. BMPCA Captain Oldrey Park subcommittee carried out a walk through at the end of March with Emma Patyus (ESC Landcare Co-ordinator) which identified an environmentally sensitive trail and possible areas for seating. BMPCA will need to keep pressure on ESC to ensure that identified trail minimises damage to vegetation.
  • Secretary met with Banksia CEO to identify linkages to the village. The footpath from Heath Street into Grant Street on the western side was raised as presently Banksia residents need to cross the road twice when visiting the Post Office. President has discussed this path with ESC Director Engineering, which would require removal of oleanders, of which there was little concern. ESC to prepare costing so that BMPCA can consider contribution. Banksia has committed to a contribution of funds.
  • Proposed seat at Heath Street and Grant Street intersection was also raised. ESC is currently refurbishing street seats and it will advise when available.
  • Stormwater ponding at western corner of Grant Street and Broulee Road intersection after rain needs assessment.
  • Ongoing issue of Lake Broulee stormwater ponding raised. ESC is looking at solutions which do not involve drainage to the heavily used Candlagan Creek beach.
  • Concern about graffiti on shared pathway north of area where donated bricks are located. Also, issue about sand and vegetation encroaching on bricks.
  • BMPCA Executive met with ESC General Manager and Directors as part of annual discussions about local matters. Considerable disagreement with Council about zoning of private land west of Captain Oldrey Park. Broulee Development Plan identifies this as open space but ESC maintain that it is zoned residential. Agreed that letter should be sent to the Minister for Planning outlining BMPCA concerns.
  • Letter received from David Hunter (ESC) concerning relocation and replacement of bus shelter at North Broulee. Members agreed that it is currently a difficult location for path users. Work is expected early in June. A number of issues in the general North Broulee area were raised including the unstable steps to the viewing platform, poor drainage at the shower which leads to sand buildup and visitors then washing their feet in the dog water at the water station (which then fills up with sand) and stormwater ponding at the corner of Coronation and Candlagan Drives after heavy rain. It was agreed that BMPCA should write to ESC to see if some of these matters can be addressed at the same time as the bus shelter construction.
  • Broulee to Breakers Swim in March achieved record number of swimmers. Thanks to all BMPCA members who helped with various tasks, particularly registration and finishing. Swim committee is looking at a different approach to handling the finish as numbers increase which will mean that BMPCA will need more helpers on 8 March 2020. A cheque for $5000 will be sent to BMPCA for its help – definitely our best annual money raiser!
  • Landcare to inspect outbreak of spreading Gazanias in Iluka Street and Zanthus Drive as well as sand and vegetation covering pathway bricks.
  • General concern about the size of Eurobodalla Shire Council and the number of business activities where Council is competing with the private sector. What happened to roads, rates and rubbish?

2. Report on Moruya airport runway upgrade, for information.
3. RLS update, on letter writing campaign and decision by NSW Dept. of Planning still pending.
4. Captain Oldrey Park [COP] Nature Trail .
From the Masterplan “ work with local Landcare group and Broulee Public School to design and establish a compacted gravel, accessible trail for education and recreation purposes through the trees. Perform risk assessment of trees for retention”. The meeting determined to proceed, a subcommittee was formed : D.McCann, S. O’Keefe, L.Bain, S.Needham with others to be co-opted as needed. Need to liase and involve BPS.  To request mature tree survey report from Council.
Ross Hayward explained the survey pegs, which are for a new rising main [sewer]. He also spoke on the need for an efficient car parking plan to minimize the need to move the netball courts North and clear more trees. The President  proposed a meeting with Gary Bruce ESC Manager for Development Control, including Engineering and Recreation representatives.
5. Future Projects for BMPCA.
Confirmed COP nature trail – priority
Placement of seating along pedestrian paths, 1- corner of Heath/Grant St on tarmac pad where former seat located, 2- Mossy Point headland walk. Look into repurposing seats and contacting Banksia Village to consider a joint project with 50/50 funding.
6. Request Council for an onsite meeting to strongly consider a long term solution to the drainage problem on Coronation Drive, and to revisit the upgrade and accessibility to the viewing platform at Nth Broulee as detailed in a letter in 2016.
6. Street trees and wildlife boxes. Follow up earlier requests to Council and query Council’s policy on street trees, and whether Section 94 money is allocated for same.
7. Insurance – enquiry to Dept of Fair Trading, it is not mandatory for NFP organisations to have insurance, up to the membership and assessment of risk. AON Insurance have tailored policies for voluntary associations, and public liability would cost about $700. The activities undertaken by BMPCA are covered by public liability insurance held by partner bodies, eg Council, Surf club. May seek legal advice for further consideration of this matter.
8. Fundraising flyer – waiting on redesign.

Other Business
Pathways – Heath St to PO on western side of Grant St., Grant St. to Broulee Rd. to be referred to Council pathway list.

Broulee Mossy Point Community Association General Meeting
Thursday 29th November 2018
Broulee Public School
Meeting opened at 8pm after presentation by Kelwyn White from the RFS
Attendance as per register, and  apologies  noted.
Confirmation of minutes of 20th September, moved V Fisher, 2nd B Schaef, carried.

President’s Report.
Mossy point pathway payment was handed over on site to Warren Sharpe on 2nd November. There is some concern at vehicles parking on the pathway blocking pedestrians, needs some education of locals and visitors. Clr Mayne to take it to the Roads and Traffic committee of Council.

Capt. Oldrey Park Master plan was adopted by Council on Tuesday 27th November, it is generally a plan the community can live with. At the last consultation with user groups, Council was urged to look elsewhere in coming years for further sporting oval development, not on environmentally sensitive land. It was acknowledged that Council did listen to the community, but has to balance competing needs, and discussion will continue, particularly when it comes to the road reserve. The open space in the Master plan to the west of COP will permit utility development, [sewage, pumping station, stormwater retention etc,] but not housing.
 
It was noted that the vote on COP was not unanimous, an amendment by Clr McGinlay to remove the future oval from the plan, retaining the Bangalay forest was lost.

President Ross addressed residents of Banksia Village to inform them about the community association, and noted that BMPCA can contribute items for their internal newsletter, and the Association may consider holding a meeting at the village if agreed to.

Treasurers Report.
Pathway Acc.  $717.09, incoming : $270.00 from theatre day, $280.00 from sausage sizzle, plus $100.00 donation from Mossy Point resident.
General Acc. $5,311.00.      
Moved L. Boyton, 2nd. B Roberts.  Carried.

General Business :
  • Fundraising information flyer approved with membership form on the back. To approach Tomakin club for assistance with printing.  Moved V Fisher, 2nd. R Hayward.
  • Art on the Path, Sunday 16th December, volunteers needed for sausage sizzle.
  • Bay to Breakers Swim, Sunday 10th March 2019 volunteers needed.
  • Sandcastle Competition, Monday 31st December [New Years Eve] low tide 11.30AM.

Moved D.Waser, 2nd B Roberts.  Carried.   BMPCA volunteer to circulate with donation bucket on the day.

                Annual General Meeting Minutes
            20th September 2018, Broulee Public School

President Ross Hayward opened the meeting at 7pm.
Attendance as per attendance register.
Apologies : Di Jay, Trish Eccles, Edie Robertson, Elaine Anderson
Confirmation of AGM Minutes of 10th August 2017,
Moved Peter Dunn, 2nd. Lindsay Boyton. Carried.

President’s Report     The President outlined issues and advocacy that the Association has been involved in over the last 12 months.

The Annetts Parade footpath from Sunrise Ave. to Pacific St. has been completed, funded principally by a grant from the State Government and a financial contribution of $16,000 from BMPCA. This has been very well received by the local community.

Capt. Oldrey Park planning has seen much involvement from the Association, organising a public meeting in March 2018, and representations at Council meetings. The Master Plan is now out on public exhibition until 10th October, with submissions invited and encouraged from the community.
CAMP – the Companion Animal Management Plan covering “dogs on beaches” was a hot issue.
T
he Association assisted the Estuary Estate residents in their advocacy to Council over access issues to Oaks Ranch.

The Rural Lands Strategy Planning Proposal, which has been ongoing since 2012, came to community attention with its potential to impact on urban areas, resulting in a public meeting of Mossy Point residents supported by the Association in August 2018.

On a final positive note the Bay to Breakers swim in March 2018 was an excellent partnership event with BSSLC, bringing the community together, and also a healthy fundraiser for BMPCA.
Moved Lynn Bain, 2nd. Andrew Bain, that the President’s report be accepted. Carried.

Treasurers Report :   The Treasurer presented his report for 2017/2018, and tabled the financial accounts.
The Association’s finances have improved with increased membership since emailing reminders to members when subscriptions due based on a calendar year. Membership now sits at 129. The Shared Pathway account will be very reduced after contributing to the Annetts Parade pathway, hence the need for additional fundraising.

 The General account balance is $7,764.46,
 Shared Pathway account balance is $14,171.66
Moved Lindsay Boyton, 2nd Vince Fisher, that the Treasurer’s report be accepted. Carried.

Election of Office Bearers.  The President vacated the chair, Richard Roberts was appointed Returning Officer, and declared all positions vacant. All positions were uncontested and confirmed.

President : Ross Hayward  - nominated by Andrew Bain, 2nd Derek Anderson.
Vice President: Andrew Bain – nominated by Lynn Bain, 2nd Ross Hayward.

         McGinley to the meeting and moved agenda items forward for 
         her comment.
 
     *. Estuary Estate / Oaks Ranch issue.  - Ross asked Susan Matthews and Wayne Kelly of the Estuary Estate Residents Action Group to present background going back to 2009 /2010 and the current situation.
Key concerns are planning proposals have been made including a gateway determination for up to 90 dwellings at Oaks Ranch which is not zoned for residential dwellings with no public consultation. Recently planning approval has been sought from ESC for an access road to be built from Oaks Ranch to the closed Estuary Estate to George Bass Drive with little or no consultation with the residents of Estuary Estate, causing extreme concern. The group is persuing the issue with ESC.
           
Mayor Innes cautioned that if decisions made by planners with no valid reason to reject a DA are overturned by Councillors, can lead to the Land and Environment court, not often successful and a cost to the community.
 
She suggested a delegation meet with the planners to seek solutions.
 
     *.    CAMP - Companion Animal Management Plan : Council released a proposal for changes to areas in the shire where dogs could be exercised. The proposal significantly reduced the allowable areas on North Broulee Beach. The community was canvassed via online survey, direct consultation and submissions. The initial consultation period closed 2 weeks ago and they are not accepting any more responses in this stage of the plan. Council reported that 2,500 responses were received and will be analysed and draft plan put to the community for further consultation by public exhibition later this year. The Councillors noted that it is extremely important to encourage community members to respond individually to these types of consultation, as form letters and group responses are often considered as a single response.
 
     *.   Captain Oldrey Park. :  master plan being prepared, draft should be on public exhibition in June/July. Liz Innes encouraged the community to find solutions.
           
David McCann proposed  "a subcommittee be convened to formalise a response to Council for the future use of the bushland adjacent to Captain Oldrey Park" 2nd B. Schaefe, carried.  Subcommittee : D.McCann, B. Schaefe, D. Lloyd Jones, L Boyton.
