Notes and agenda for meeting between Council staff and Broulee Mossy Point Community Association (BMPCA).

1. Use of the community building at Captain Oldrey Park for BMPCA meetings.

• BMPCA provides an important community service but is banned from using the building because it cannot afford public liability insurance. We recognize the need for insurance for sporting bodies and the like but it seems unnecessary for a group that will sit around a table to work on improving and maintaining community facilities in Broulee and Mossy Point. We understand the building is used for private activities without this requirement.
• We seek Council to remove the insurance requirement for BMPCA meetings.

Discussion
BMPCA thought it was unreasonable for a community group to not be able to use a community building to which they contributed.
Councils insurance does not cover Council for use of the building by an incorporated body.
Decision.

• Council will continue to require incorporated groups to carry their own insurance.
• Warren Sharp will inquire with other community groups as to how they meet this requirement.

2. Polluted water draining into South Broulee Beach.

• South Broulee beach is one of Eurobodalla’s most popular beaches. It is patrolled in summer, has relatively safe surf and is protected from prevailing summer NE wind. The storm water drain crossing the beach now flows much more often, it carries polluted water and recently sewage. This recent sewage flow continued for many days before a notice was erected warning the public.
• Council planning and engineering decisions have been increasing the frequency of polluted water flows across the beach.
• We seek a decision by Council to explore the possible use of infiltration ponds to reduce the frequency of flows across the beach. We also seek future sewerage planning to minimize the possibility of sewerage flows across the beach.

Discussion
Council acknowledged that the drain was an unfortunate necessity and would probably get worse as Broulee development continued. It was made clear that sewerage leaks into the water were rare and that the Broulee sewerage infrastructure was maintained in a good condition. It was also acknowledged that the water was probably lightly polluted at all times. Council initially claimed that it would be too expensive to include the drain in the Beachwatch program. BMPCA asked that it be included for at least a few months so a better understanding of the water quality in the drain could be obtained. BMPCA raised the possibility of a sign on the drain warning that the water in the drain may be polluted. Council claimed that any sign would be vandalized.
Decision
No decision was made to test the water or to erect a sign

3. Council response to road safety submissions Broulee village, Annetts Parade Mossy Point, Broulee headland.

• NSW government says that reducing the speed limit in areas where pedestrians are using roads reduces the probability of accidental death by 50 percent. There are many roads within the villages of Broulee and Mossy Point where this risk reduction to 40Kph would seem to be justified.
• We seek a review of road safety in Broulee Mossy Point particularly where there is considerable interaction between traffic and pedestrians.

Discussion
Council said that speed limits were not the responsibility of Council.
Council acknowledge the link between speed and pedestrian deaths on joint user roads but considered that speeds on most roads within Broulee were reasonable.
Decision.
Council would not promote any changes but may consider the speeds on Heath Street on the South side of Grant Street.

4. Offsets arrangements for the land between Broulee and the airport and protection from weed infestation.

• Council allowed the developers of Broulee land to use Council land as an offset. Has there been money paid by developers to improve the environmental condition of the offset land? If so, what work has been undertaken.
• There is increasing weed infestation along the areas regularly mowed. Is the mowing contractor require to clean the mowing equipment before entering the offset area?

Discussion
The offset fund held by Government has not yet reached 80 percent therefore no money is flowing from this fund. Council does require that the mower operator clean the machine between some sites. It was noted that there was a 4WD barrier that is broken within the protected land that despite advising Council has not yet repaired.
Decision
If BMPCA informs the Council of sites where a problem is developing Council will ensure that cleaning happens before the mower enters these sites.
The barrier will be repaired

5. Construction of a pedestrian path from Heath Street to the Broulee Post Office.

• There has been significant pressure, particularly from Banksia Village for the construction of a safe path to avoid two road crossings.  We have raised limited funds to contribute to this path but we doubt if more will be possible.
• Could Council meet the aged community’s need for this path with a cheaper gravel path

Discussion
BMPCA funds are not sufficient to give priority for this path. It would be appropriate for the BMPCA to make a further submission on paths in Broulee to the Councils financial program for 21/22

6. Construction of a joint user gravel path from the Grant Street at McNee street corner to the Canoe Tree. And then to the Bengello path.

• We would like Council to consider construction of this gravel path as a community asset with tourism, health and fire protection benefits.
• This would provide a safe and very attractive 3 km path for cyclists, walkers and joggers at small cost as most of the path already exists. BMPCA made an earlier submission about this but was advised that funds were not available.
• Is there any possibility of seeking grant money for this development?

Discussion
Little discussion apart from mentioning that at times there was appropriate material available from other work carried out by Council.
Decision
Warren Sharpe will walk the track with BMPCA in the near future to gain a better understanding of what would be required.

7. Community consultation on the erection of new signs and the impact on local residents.

• BMPCA has had complaints that new signs have been erected without consideration of the impact of increased parking and traffic flows on local residents and the natural environment. With caravans and motor homes becoming larger and more popular there have been instances of vehicle entrapment.

Discussion
There was acknowledged that signs have create increased traffic flow without consideration of the oimpact on local residents.

8. Broulee Development – possible new access to Clark Street.
It was agreed to establish a separate meeting with an officer from the planning area of Council to address this
.
9. Voting Arrangements for non-resident ratepayers
The Council said they were sending material to all non-resident ratepayers.

10. Sale of land at the intersection of Broulee Road and Clarke Street
Council claimed that the land was always Operational Land but BMPCA recalled that it was changed to Community land some 15 years ago. This will need to be established.
Additional note: There appears to have been a Council decision on 27 November 2003 to change the land classification from Operational to Community Land. No revocation of this decision could be found. The Natural Heritage Trust sign on the land would also suggest that the land was Community Land as the NHT did not usually fund projects on Operational Land.

11. Sale of land in Annetts Parade.
Council will check the appropriateness of the existing driveway with regard to steepness and proximity to George Bass Drive. Regarding the possible use of Offsets held may hold, the Council did acknowledge that there were excess offsets available to Council.

Dear Martin,
I am replying on behalf of the Broulee Mossy Point Community Association (BMPCA) concerning the proposed development of Oaks Ranch. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposal. The BMPCA has not met because of the restrictions associated with the Covid virus however the Committee has considered the proposal and has raised a number of questions which it considers the Association would need to have a better understanding before it could come to a view about the proposal. These are outlined below. We have put your letter on the Association’s web site which may give rise to other individual responses
Regards,
Andrew Bain
Acting President BMPCA.
 
Broader Planning:
We now have a lot of proposed housing development in this area of the Shire. Oaks Ranch, Rosedale, Bevian Road, Rosedale, completion of Tomakin, Broulee, Mogo. What analysis has been undertaken to estimate demand and to ensure that Shire infrastructure is not overwhelmed?
Is there going to be anything special about the housing development that creates something particularly attractive for the local community? For example the Estuary Estate promoted large blocks, quality homes quiet streets and private living.
 
What guarantees are there that the development will proceed as proposed? There are past examples of grand designs being approved but the eventual development being much less grand?
 
The Plans:
There are no compass points on the plan nor are local roads named, nor waterways labelled. This makes it difficult to understand how the proposal fits with the existing developments, particularly the Estuary Estate.
 
Traffic:
The proposal mentions that the design will be such as to control traffic using the development as a rat run though the Estuary Estate to George Bass Drive. When the development is complete there could be upwards of 1000 people staying in the estate. This alone will produce substantial traffic through roads in the Estuary Estate that are not designed for this traffic flow. This could be prevented by making the Old Mossy Point Road the main entrance for the development with traffic through the Estuary only permitted in an emergency.
How will construction traffic be managed so as to avoid problems for the Estuary Estate?
 
Block size and design:
There is no indication of the average block size. Will this be just another development of small blocks and boring houses like other Shire developments. This would be out of keeping with the Estuary Estate.
A mix of block sizes from 2 acre to 600 square metres would provide an interesting development with great variation in house design and garden development. It would also mean the development is more in keeping with the adjoining Estuary Estate.
Will roads and blocks be designed to facilitate solar access and reduction of non-renewable energy use?
 
Landscaping:
Are there landscaping plans including vegetation buffers and plantings to maintain the amenity of the Estuary Estate?
 
Pollution Control:
Golf courses are a recognised source of pollution largely because of heavy fertilising. The proposed golf course is on the banks of the Tomaga River. What are the plans to protect the river from pollution from the golf course and other elements of the proposal? There is currently concern about existing pollution from Mogo Zoo upstream.
 
Biodiversity Conservation:
The information from the website is particularly meagre. What did the ecological studies identify in terms of threatened habitats and species? What sort of protection is proposed for wetland areas?

Dear BMPCA,
 
My wife Lisa and I are the owners of the Oaks Ranch at 340 Old Mossy Point Road, Jeremadra. I’m not sure if you are familiar with our property / business or aware that we have been a long time in the planning for a proposed redevelopment of the property.
 
We are writing to you to advise that we have initiated a community consultation process to present the project to the community generally and to relevant stakeholders such as the local Broulee Mossy Point Community Association which I understand that you represent.
 
After many years of planning and undertaking numerous studies for ecological communities, bushfire, flooding, traffic and economic feasibilities etc, etc we are now in the final stages of the design development in readiness to submit our development application (DA) to the Eurobodalla Shire Council (ESC) in the coming months. Prior to the submission of the DA we are seeking feedback on the proposed development and will take into consideration any comments / feedback either supportive or critical, and will endeavour to address any issues raised prior to the submission of the DA.
 
The Oaks Ranch and Country Club (as it is currently known) has been trading since the early 1970’s with mixed success. The current owners have been partly involved since the early 2000’s and more recently we acquired outright ownership of the property. During the time of our involvement, the business has rarely covered its costs and is desperately in need of major upgrade and redevelopment. The recent bushfires and CV-19 have just added to the difficulties that the business has faced and it is currently closed for trading other than our Golf Course.
 
We have prepared a masterplan to redevelop the Oaks Ranch into a state of the art tourism, residential and resort community and to enhance the tourism offering for the Eurobodalla Shire and the greater South Coast of NSW. The facility will incorporate an upgraded boutique motel with 24 motel rooms and with Food and beverage services, function and conference facilities to service up to 200 guests / delegates. The proposed development includes 75 short stay resort style villas wrapped around a world-class 9-hole golf course designed by Greg Norman Golf Design.
 
The resort facilities will include a pro shop, tennis courts, swimming pool, a day spa, ancillary retail and convenience outlets set in landscaped open space and parklands. The overall project will also incorporate 90 architecturally designed homes set within a master planned landscape estate with significant measures taken to protect our native vegetation, flora and forna communities and wetlands areas. The project works will be staged according to the market up-take and we would anticipate a 2021 commencement for stage 1.
 
Due to the CV-19 pandemic and the requirement for social distancing, we have created a dedicated website to enable the Mossy Point / Broulee and surrounding communities to review and understand the owners’ current proposals for The Oaks Ranch and the overall Project details and to facilitate community feedback, comments and suggestions which can be considered and possibly included in the Development Application process, to address community concerns and to potentially improve the proposed development.
 
I have attached a copy of the masterplan but you can review the dedicated website via the link here www.oaksranchestate.com.au to access Project and Development Details.
 
We would appreciate any feedback and if you would like to meet where we could provide a more detailed presentation of the masterplan proposal.
 
Thanks and please let me know if you have any queries in the meantime.
 
Regards,
 
 
Martin Cork

  Minutes of Quarterly Meeting 13th February 2020 at Broulee Public School 

Acting President Andrew Bain opened the meeting and announced that the meeting format would be deferred until after Kelwyn White, the local RFS community liason officer had spoken and answered questions.

In welcoming and introducing Kelwyn,  Andrew identified some key concerns from the feedback sought by BMPCA to the bushfire emergency.  
These were infrastructure failure, and little or no information, hazard reduction, education and evacuation centres.
The main points addressed by Kelwyn :
The distinction between RFS who fight fires and emergency management covering all other services such as SES and Council, led by Police.
Identifying Special Fire protection facilities such as schools, nursing homes and tourist facilities for specific fire fighting effort and allocation of assets.
The response to the leave early message promoted by the RFS after findings from the Royal Commission into the Victorian bushfires in 2009 and the importance of having a “plan” A key message in community education.
Explanation of hazard reduction guidelines and the 10/50rule applying to one’s own property, also ways of dealing with neighbours who do not manage their property for bushfire risk, using the bushfire hazard complaint procedure.
Lack of information, no power,internet, mobile phone and local ABC the emergency broadcaster was off transmission. Need to let the community know of other ABC transmission bands,. 
A community newsletter was posted on the fire shed daily during the emergency.  BMPCA need to take responsibility for a community response in the future to have information displayed in a central location ie the community notice board
Residents should be familiar with the Community Protection Plan for Broulee, Mossy Point and the Estuary estate, when preparing their property and making a plan. The protection plan needs to be clearly displayed at a central location in the community, it is available on the RFS website www.rfs.nsw.gov.au
Kelwyn encouraged the community to become more interactive and supportive of the local brigade and view it as a community hub.

President’s Report The President characterised the year as fairly quiet, involving
strategic planning.
Captain Oldrey Park master plan was signed off by Council, and the accessibility
Nature Trail has been roughed out by the sub-committee with a funding grant
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
PO. No donation discussed, as waiting on a cost estimate from Council who will do
the work but do not regard it as a priority. The cost estimate has just come to hand
at $25-30K.
Other issues addressed during the year, Nth Broulee amenity – bus shelter, access
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
to benefit the local community, is a vehicle to speak to Council in a cooperative
atmosphere, and has an annual meeting with senior staff to raise local issues. A
suggestion to be followed up via the website is to have links to other local
community associations in the area.

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.

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.
