3:28 BRG at Cross Roads Dan Franklin Banjup Residents Group 18 11 March 2018
BRG has had some great wins • Better risk management at DCP home • Improved intersection at Liddelow and Armadale • Rates proved wrong twice Steve Portelli • Improved communications with ratepayers • Fire permits and control orders rationalised Steve Portelli • Downward classification of Liddelow and Steve Portelli installation of traffic calming Succeeded through evidence based, rational, persistent lobbying Banjup Residents Group 19 11 March 2018
Some lobbying has fallen on deaf ears • Reduce aircraft noise nuisance • Better value for money from rates – 1,000 on Cockburn payroll, 500 FTE • Better strategic planning – Clear linkage to operational plans – Measurable KPIs • Cameras to apprehend hoons • ‘Urban Investigation’ for rural Jandakot & Treeby Banjup Residents Group 20 11 March 2018
Current Committee members are worn out • Victim of our own success • Cockburn’s attitude – Not them again! – Too often, we are too right – Don’t like being shown up • But they get it wrong so often! • State government not listening – Not enough votes here – Ears only for big end of town • Stockland • Perron • Schaffer Banjup Residents Group 21 11 March 2018
Statement by Dan Franklin • Member since 2011 • Committee member since 2016 • President 2017 • Career pressures intensifying • Will not nominate for an office bearer Banjup Residents Group 22 11 March 2018
Statement by Ian Thurston • Founding President in 2011 • Office bearer since 2012 • 7 years campaigning • Past my ‘use by date’ • Time for someone else • Will not nominate for office bearer role • Content to serve on Committee for 1 more year Banjup Residents Group 23 11 March 2018
BRG needs new faces to put before Cockburn • How much work is involved? – As much as you want – per month 12, 6, 4, 2, 1 hour ? • Meetings or emails • What do members want them to do? – Carry on as before? – Respond only in crisis? • Call to action to 240 member landowners – Need custodian of membership list – Exist in Facebook only? • Who moderates? – Wind up the BRG?

4:03 Future for Rural Jandakot and Treeby Dan Franklin Banjup Residents Group 33 11 March 2018
Perth@3.5million still not published • 31 July 2015 – submissions closed – BRG asked for Jandakot rural to be zoned Urban – 1,000 other submissions • July 2017 plan might be published • December 2017 • March 2018 - plan still not published – No ETA Banjup Residents Group 34 11 March 2018
Rumours abound … • Jandakot and Treeby will not be urban investigation • Yaz Mubarakai MLA lobbying in support • New WAPC chairman might review Banjup Residents Group 35 11 March 2018
Last year we asked Cockburn for help - They conducted a survey Motion: • The BRG requests the City of Cockburn to develop a formal structure plan for the whole rural and urban area between Armadale Road and Jandakot Airport from Warton Road to Berrigan Drive in full consultation with property owners 12 March 2017 • Vote: Passed unanimously Banjup Residents Group 36 11 March 2018
Cockburn let down its ratepayers • Stitched up the survey results – Dismissed 100 ratepayers’ clear requests – Focused only on 7 who want no change • Repeatedly claim “majority” and “strong” support Council Agenda papers for current land usage 8 March 2018 • If Cockburn does not support urban investigation, then why should WAPC or the Minister? Banjup Residents Group 37 11 March 2018
Something is going on that we don’t know • Cockburn’s position defies logic – Approved Schaffer / Urban Stone – Approved Treeby structure plan to develop brickworks site • Why would Cockburn so blatantly falsify the survey results? • Why does Cockburn want to change its recommendation to Perth@3.5million? • What did CEO Cain say to WAPC Chairman? – Met on 26 September • before Council considered report Banjup Residents Group 38 11 March 2018
What next? • Rely on big developers to get change – Stockland – Parcel – Perron • Only 150 votes – who cares? Banjup Residents Group 39 11 March 2018
4:18 Jandakot Road Speed and Metronet Dan Franklin Banjup Residents Group 40 11 March 2018
Speed limit is still 80 kph • Main Roads adamant • On-line petition attracted only 33 Jandakot/Treeby signatures – None from Calleya • Does anyone care? • Somehow, Berrigan Drive now 60 kph – Who asked for that? Banjup Residents Group 41 11 March 2018
