2	SUBJECT Granville Commuter Car Park REFERENCE F2007/02318 FROM Mr Tony Haouchab
	QUESTIONS By Mr Tony Haouchab:- “To the Lord Mayor and respective Councillors, with regards to the on-going issue of the Granville Commuter Car Park & Ramp; the importance of this piece of infrastructure for the local community – are you able to advise what stage the project is at, key barriers to its commencement and the likely completion timeframe? Time permitting- • What interim/short term measures do you have in place to address the shortage of parking spots for commuters? (i.e. releasing extra spaces in existing car park/ RSL Car Park etc…) • Do you have any alternate suggestions or solutions for commuters that use Granville station?”
13100	RESPONSE By Ms Sue Weatherley – Group Manager City Services “There have been a number of representations made to the NSW Government about the proposed commuter car park at Granville. On 14 February 2011, the NSW Transport Construction Authority updated Council on their investigations into various options, including Cowper Street, the bus interchange, the west side of Bold Street and RailCorp’s small depot site. On 31 August 2011, Council requested an update from NSW Transport Construction Authority. The Authority’s response was that following the recent elections all commuter car park projects were being reviewed. At the meeting on 10 April 2012, Council resolved that: “…the State Member for Granville be approached and requested to organise a meeting with the Department of Transport to discuss the issue of a commuter car park at Granville.” At this stage, the NSW Government has not confirmed that the project will proceed. Council officers will follow up and prepare a report to the Council meeting scheduled for Monday 25 June. The report will examine existing parking capacity for commuters and for visitors to the town centre. It will also provide an update to Council on the NSW State Government’s position on providing additional commuter car parking spaces at Granville.”
	NOTE: Councillors P J Garrard and C X Lim left the meeting at 6.57 pm following consideration of this matter.

3	SUBJECT Smoking in Outdoor Dining Areas REFERENCE F2004/09820 FROM Mr Omar Besiso
	QUESTIONS By Mr Omar Besiso:- “1 Do the Lord Mayor and Councillors know that there are 2 separate and Smoking in Public Places Policy documents – one dated November 2011 and one dated December 2011 and that such Documents are different documents and contain different provisions directly related to the Restaurants? 2 Do the Lord Mayor and Councillors know that whilst the Councillors, at their meeting of 12 December 2011, tabled as “Attachment 1” and adopted the November 2011 Policy, Council staff have not implemented the November 2011 Policy but that they have implemented the December 2011 Policy? 3 Council has provided businesses with the “Resources Pack for Businesses”. This contains a copy of the December 2011 Policy which was not adopted by Council. The November 2011 Policy is nowhere to be found. Do the Councillors consider that it is appropriate for them to adopt the November 2011 Policy but for Council staff to implement a different Policy, being the December 2011 Policy which was never tabled or adopted? 4 Does Council propose to place as an item of business, at a future Council meeting, the issue of whether to adopt the December 2011 Policy such as to allow staff to implement it? In the alternative, does Council propose to implement the November 2011 Policy as adopted – and if so, does Council propose to issue a fresh Business Resources Pack so that Businesses know which Policy is being implemented as different rights and consequences arise depending on whether the November 2011 or December 2011 policy is adopted? 5 The Resources Pack contains posters and stickers and signage made pursuant to section 632 of the Local Government Act 1993. Council have advised the Court that they do not rely on these Notices. So why have Council officers insisted that Restaurants display these notices? Does Council propose to advise all holders of Outdoor Dining Approvals that Council withdraws it previous insistence that the Notices be displayed and that there is no need to display any such notices? 6 At its meeting of 12 December 2011, Council resolved to adopt the November 2011 Policy and to give businesses “a long 6 month lead time for implementation of the ban (to commence on 1st May 2012).” What does this mean? This is open to multiple interpretations and is uncertain. It could mean: (a) That the smoking ban commences 6 months from the date of the Council’s resolution on 12 December 2011 – under this interpretation, the commencement date would be 12 June 2012. If this is correct, why is Council starting the ban from 1 May 2012? (b) Alternatively, the resolution could read that there would be a 6 months lead time from the commencement of a ban on 1 May 2012 – Under this construction the Council effectively resolved that it would take no action on the smoking ban in public places until 1 November 2012. If this is correct, why is Council taking action from 1 May 2012?”
13101	RESPONSE By Mr Maurice Doria – General Counsel “Question 1 The differences in the documents are minor and consistent with the council resolution that sets the strategic objective. The meeting papers for the Council meeting held on 12 December 2012 included a version of the policy document prepared in November 2011 to comply with internal requirements for production of meeting papers. The Council resolution of 12 December 2011 specifically addressed additional public places (that is, taxi ranks and bus shelters). Consequently, some minor amendments to the draft policy document was required to properly reflect the Council resolution resulting in the version ‘dated December 2011’. As far as restaurants are concerned, there was no substantive change at all to the position that there is to be no smoking in the outdoor dining areas on footways for restaurants from 1 May 2012. The November 2011 policy document and December 2011 policy documents reflect the Council resolution. Question 2 The response to question 1 deals with this question. Council staff have been implementing the Council policy in accordance with the strategic direction given in the Council resolution of 12 December 2011. The policy document assists with implementation of the policy position given in the Council resolution of 12 December 2011. Question 3 The reasons for the different date is given in the response to question 1. The different dates and minor adjustments are consistent with the Council resolution and do not disadvantage any business operator. The delivery of the ‘resource packs’ was preceded by a 12 month consultation period, significant media reporting and a public debates at council meetings that were well attended by members of the public. Question 4 The Smoking in Public Places Policy being implemented reflects the strategic direction given by the Council resolution of 12 December 2012 for the reasons given in responses to previous questions. The Smoking in Public Places Policy does not confer rights, nor does it take them away. It merely, outlines Council’s policy position and gives a non-exhaustive indication of how that policy position will be implemented. Council staff have been working with business owners as part of policy implementation. The ‘resource pack’ is just one part of what has been done. Council staff will continue to work with business owners. Question 5 Council staff have indicted to business owners that they may use material contained in the ‘resource pack” to assist them in ensuring that smoking does not occur in outdoor dining areas. The posters and stickers are not notices under section 632 of the Local Government Act and were never intended to be. This has been communicated to the Parramatta Business Freedom Association. The notices are identical to those used by other councils who have decided to push for no smoking in outdoor dining areas and the reference to section 632 appears in material used those councils. Question 6 Council recognises that some may construe the language of the Council resolution of 12 December 1022 in different ways. This is not unusual when it comes to legislation, contract and policy documents. The preferred outcome is for there to be no scope for alternative interpretations. The debate that occurred at the Council meeting on 12 December 2011 is the relevant context for the resolution and it is appropriate to have regard to that in construing the resolution. That debate resulted in a policy position involving smoking in public places to be discouraged from 12 December 2011 but any substantive action in relation to outdoor dining being delayed until 1 May 2012. The reference to "6 months" was clearly an approximation but the reference to the precise date of 1 May has absolutely no ambiguity. This is the policy position that Council staff are required to implement and has been the position consistently described by Council staff in all communications with business and in all media and other press releases put out by Council since 12 December 2011.”
	NOTE: 1 Councillors P J Garrard and C X Lim returned to the meeting at 6.58 pm during consideration of this matter. 2 Councillor P J Garrard left the meeting at 7.00pm during consideration of this matter.

4	SUBJECT 58 O'Connell Street, Parramatta REFERENCE DA/174/2011/A FROM Mr Adam Byrnes
	STATEMENT By Mr Adam Byrnes:-
13102	“I wish to thank Council staff and Councillors for the handling of this application. I understand that Council would prefer the entire redevelopment of this site, but this is not financially possible for the owner. However the owner has proposed a socially positive proposal that seeks to keep the existing long term tenants, for a number of the apartments, in place at a fair rental rate. This is a preferable social outcome to simply collecting a contribution and sending it to the state body without a clear understanding of how or where the money will be spent. I wish to thank the Council officers for their professional and rigorous handling of this application, and seek from the Councillors this evening your support of the proposal please.”
	NOTE: Councillor J D Finn declared an interest in relation to this matter as an employee of Housing NSW and temporarily left the meeting during consideration and voting on this issue.
