Council July meeting agenda

Written on the 26 July 2016

Thursday 28th July will be the next Ordinary Meeting of Council.  Here's a summary of the business-related items on the Agenda:

TRADING IN PUBLIC PLACES POLICY

Shire of Broome Policies 4.2.12 Trading in Public Places, 4.5.1 Commercial Camel Activities on Cable Beach and 4.5.3 Commercial Activities on Cable Beach all regulate activities undertaken with a trading licence obtained in accordance with the Trading, Outdoor Dining and Street Entertainment Local Law 2003.  These policies have been reviewed to ensure they are reasonable and appropriate in facilitating the issuing of trading licences in the Shire.

As a result of the review, a single Trading in Public Places policy has been developed incorporating necessary and relevant provisions from all three policies.  The new proposed policy incorporates changes made to assist with interpretation and administration of the policy and provide greater flexibility for trading licences to be granted.

FINAL ADOPTION OF THE CABLE BEACH DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

The draft Cable Beach Development Strategy (the Strategy) was publicly advertised during May 2016 with 40 submissions received. Officers have considered the submissions and this report recommends that Council adopt the Strategy subject to minor modifications. As the Strategy will replace the 2003 Cable Beach Development Plan, it is further recommended that the 2003 plan be formally revoked.

DESIGNATED COUNCIL PARKING AREAS LAYOUT AND TIME RESTRICTIONS PLAN - CHINATOWN

Under the Shire of Broome Parking and Parking Facilities Local Law 2012, Council may by resolution determine parking stalls and parking facilities. Council adopted a Parking Plan for Chinatown in 2005. Given the number of parking improvements that have occurred within the Chinatown area since 2005, an updated Parking Plan is required and is presented to Council for adoption.
