Dear Lord
Mayor and Councillors,
Thank
you for your time to read through my statement. My question will start with
"Do we have sufficient electricity to accommodate another building ?
"
In the past few months and even during COVID19 pandemic period, Great Western
Highway area has experienced a few times electrify black out.
Also,
1. "Do we have any sufficient
kindergartens, elementary schools, high schools for the children?"
2. "Do we have extra train lines to
accommodate the working class?"
These
2 questions may seem to be irrelevant. But they are the essential questions
which the Parramatta residents care. We already have many, too many high rise
buildings comparing with the other suburbs. With the existing high rise
building and yearly council rate payments, we, as the existing Parramatta
residents, do not receive any benefit from the Council even for council rate
discount because of COVID. We cannot see any benefit to have another building
in the area. We would rather you to plant more trees in the area to give us
better air.
EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR CITY PLANNING & DESIGN RESPONSE
It is noted that the author of
this public forum statement made a submission during the public exhibition
period of this proposal raising some of these issues. Those issues
raised in the earlier submission are addressed in Attachment 1 to the Council
report. I will only speak to the new issues raised in this public forum
statement being electricity supply and tree planting.
With regards to electricity
supply, Endeavour Energy was consulted during the public exhibition period
and raised no objection.
With regards to tree planting,
it will be provided on site facilitated by the minimum setbacks proposed in
the draft site specific Development Control Plan which allow for deep soil
planting. The draft Parramatta City
Centre DCP also provides that street trees are to have priority on the
majority of streets within the Parramatta CBD, and also contains provisions
requiring vegetation to be provided on rooftops and podiums.

QUESTIONS
TAKEN ON NOTICE FROM THE EXTRAORDINARY COUNCIL MEETING OF 21 MARCH 2022
Item 11.1 – Investment
Report for February 2022
Question from Councillor Bradley
During discussion on the motion
moved by Councillor Pandey, Councillor Bradley asked the following questions:
1.
In relation to the
investment funds and credit ratings to the various investments and
organisations (page 14 of the February Investment Report), why do some
companies with higher credit ratings than AMP Bank have much lower
investment?
2.
In relation to
fossil fuels investments, why does Council invest so much in AMP Bank and
Bank of Queensland, and not in other organisations with better credit
ratings?
Acting Chief Finance and
Information Officer Response
1.
The NSW Minister's Order
imposes very strict rules upon NSW councils requiring them to only invest in
'senior-ranked' assets issued by authorised deposit-taking institutions
(ADIs) regulated by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA).
Council’s
advisors believe that deposit investments with the lower rated ADIs (BBB and
unrated) should be continued going forward as these lower rated ADIs are
generally now in a better financial position then they have been historically
(refer Capital Ratio figures on page 11 of the Monthly Investment Report:
February 2022).
Not
only does investing in the lower rated ADIs diversify the investment
portfolio and reduce credit risk, but it also improves the portfolio’s
overall return as many of these lower rated ADIs are currently offering
‘above market’ specials.
The
level of Council investments in AMP Bank and Bank of Queensland as outlined
in the February Investment Report, were undertaken in part for
diversification purposes, but also because these organisations were offering
a higher rate of return compared to the other complying banks in
Council’s investment policy at the time of investment.
2. Council’s advisors are regularly consulted about
Fossil Fuel investments by the Treasury & Tax Accountant, and since May
2021 a permanent section on Fossil Fuels has been included as part of the
Monthly Comprehensive Investment Report.
Reducing
the exposure in BBB/Unrated ADIs and switching into A/AA or higher rated ADIs
largely contradicts having a fossil fuel free or transitioning to a fossil
fuel free lending investment portfolio. Most of the banks/ADIs that are
funding fossil fuel are generally the higher rated ADIs including the
domestic major banks (TCorp, BoQ, Macquarie, ING, etc.).
It
remains currently very difficult to have a fossil fuel free investment
portfolio while predominately investing with the higher rated ADIs (A rated
or higher), particularly given the lack of complying 'green' assets that
Council could invest in.
The
level of Council investments with AMP Bank and Bank of Queensland were
undertaken in part for diversification purposes, but also because these
organisations were offering a higher rate of return compared to the other
complying banks in Council’s investment policy at the time of investment.
