Elders, past, present and future.
The purpose of this meeting is for Council to make decisions on matters that affect the

The Governance Rules 2023 set out the way Council Meetings run and the conduct

The Council
The current Council was elected for a four year term.
The Councillors were sworn in at a Council Meeting on 13 November 2024. At a Council

the meeting.
The Chair is responsible for ensuring Council Meetings are run in accordance with the
Governance Rules 2023.

Purpose
To report to Council on:
•
The status of planning permit applications and trends in planning approvals in
Brimbank.
•
Decisions made under delegated authority in September, October and November
2024 regarding planning permit applications and other matters.
•
The status of current Planning Scheme Amendments at 30 November 2024.
Officer Recommendation
That Council:
a. Notes the Planning Activity Update and Delegate Decisions – September,
October and November 2024 report, and Delegated Planning Permit
Decisions, at Attachments 1-3 to this report.
b. Notes the Planning Scheme Amendment Summary – September, October
and November 2024, at Attachment 5, and that this relates to
amendments where Council has resolved to request authorisation from
the Minister for Planning to prepare and exhibit an amendment or has
requested that the Minister prepare an amendment under section 20(4)
of the
Planning and Environment Act 1987
.
Background
Council is a Responsible Authority under the
Planning and Environment Act 1987
(
the
Act
). In this role, Council administers the Brimbank Planning Scheme (Planning Scheme)
and, among other things, determines planning permit applications made for the use and
development of the land in the municipality. Certain planning permit applications, and
other matters, are determined by Council officers under the delegated authority of
Council.
Brimbank Council Meeting No. 641 - 10 December 2024
8 of 262
The statistics presented do not represent all development activity in the municipality.
Many types of use and development do not require a planning permit and may take
place without being recorded as part of the planning approvals data. In addition, some
planning permits are not acted on, or there may be a delay between when the approval
is granted and when works take place.
Council is a Planning Authority for the Planning Scheme and undertakes amendments to
the Planning Scheme when authorised by the Minister for Planning (Minister), or in
accordance with section 8A(7) of
the Act
. Council undertakes amendments for a range of
reasons including to enhance or implement the strategic vision, to implement local
policy, to correct mistakes, to enable or restrict development, and to set aside land for
acquisition for a public purpose or remove such a reservation when it is no longer
required.
The Minister may prepare an amendment or authorise the preparation of an amendment
by another Minister, public authority or municipal council. For the purpose of this report,
the status of Planning Scheme Amendments will only include amendments where Council
is the Planning Authority, and where Council has resolved to request authorisation from
the Minister to prepare and exhibit an amendment or has requested that the Minister
prepare an amendment under section 20(4) of
the Act
.
Matters for Consideration
60 planning determinations and 28 subdivision determinations were made under
delegated authority in September 2024. 44 new planning permit applications were
received in September 2024. The value of development for these 44 applications is
$15.6 million.
77 planning determinations and 20 subdivision determinations were made under
delegated authority in October 2024. 69 new planning permit applications were received
in October 2024. The value of development for these 69 applications is $22.1 million.
67 planning determinations and 24 subdivision determinations were made under
delegated authority in November 2024. 52 new planning permit applications were
received in November 2024. The value of development for these 52 applications is
$15.22 million.
A list of the planning applications determined under delegation from Council during
September, October and November 2024, at
Attachments 1-3. Attachment 4
provides a graphical representation of the data over the last three years.

Three (3) planning appeals were determined by the Victorian Civil and Administrative
Tribunal (VCAT) in this period:
•
A consent order was reached between the parties for a planning permit to be issued
for the development of the land for a telecommunications facility following an appeal
being lodged by the applicant against the refusal of the application (P381/2023 for
2A Roseleigh Boulevard, Sydenham).
•
A consent order was reached between the parties for an altered planning permit to
be issued for the construction of two multi-storey apartment buildings and a
reduction in car parking following an appeal being lodged by the applicant against
conditions of permit (P132/2023 for 5A Mineral Terrace, Sunshine North).
•
A consent order was reached between the parties for an altered planning permit to
be issued for the use and development of the land for a child care centre following an
appeal being lodged by the applicant against conditions of permit (P609/2023 for

•
An application for review was withdrawn following a Practice Day hearing for an
amendment to the buildings and works for a multi-dwelling development (P824/2017
for 390 Sydenham Rd & 29B Trickey Ave, Sydenham).
At the end of November 2024 there were five appeals lodged at VCAT that had not yet
been determined. This is the same as at the end of November 2023.

Analysis
Operating Performance
The Annual Budget for the 2024/25 financial year has an operating surplus of $1.77
million.
The year to date (YTD) operating surplus of $167.54 million is $12.10 million or 7.79%
favourable to the YTD Budget of $155.43 million. Rates and Charges income is fully
recognised at the start of the year which inflates the YTD surplus at the beginning of the
year.
Current full year forecast estimates an operating surplus of $9.56 million, being $7.79
million or 438.95% favourable to the Annual Budget.
The favourable variance is mostly driven by the net of:
•
Total Income $8.07 million favourable to full year budget, made up of:
o
$2.79 million Grants and Contributions carried forward from 2023-24
financial year;
o
$1.55 million increase in Supplementary Rates mainly due to additional
rates received from subdivision of Orica site;
o
$1.63 million unbudgeted Capital Grants mainly relating to Old Geelong
Road Rehabilitation;
o
$0.76 million additional VGC funding; and
o
$0.63 million increase in User fees mainly due to additional BAWC income
•
Total Expenses $0.28 million unfavourable to full year budget, made up of:
o
$0.94 million unfavourable Material Services mainly due to additional
Agency expenses of 0.4 million and Contractor expenses of $0.25 million.
o
$1.28 million favourable Employee expenses mainly due to staff
vacancies
Brimbank Council Meeting No. 641 - 10 December 2024
101 of 262
Capital Performance
The 2024/25 Annual Budget is $61.36 million, comprising of $58.67 million of Capital
Works projects and $2.69 million carried forward from the 2023/24 financial year.
YTD Capital Works actual expenditure is $5.04 million against a budget of $3.77 million,
variance of ($1.27) million, driven mainly by YTD expenditure beyond forecast in
Recreation, Leisure and Community Facilities ($0.18) million, Parks Open Space &
Streetscapes ($0.54) million, Roads ($0.74) million, Buildings ($0.21) million and
Stormwater Drainage ($0.39) million. This was partly offset by under spend in Plant
Machinery & Equipment of $0.84 million.
The YTD external funding is $2.72 million comprising recurrent and non-recurrent grants
and contributions. Total full year external funding is forecasted at $5.18 million.
The full year capital expenditure forecast estimates expenditure of $63.52 million being
($2.16) million higher than budget. Officers expect the overall expenditure to be
managed, to fall within the budgeted allocation, by the end of financial year.
Cash Position
The YTD cash balance is $93.98 million comprising an opening balance of $77.97 million
at 1 July 2024 and year-to-date net inflows of $16.02 million.
The forecast closing cash at bank for the year ending 30 June 2025 is $80.74 million
which is $450k higher than the budgeted closing cash at bank of $80.29 million. Section
2 of attached report provides a detailed analysis on the variances to budget.

Adjusted Underlying Result
This measures an entity’s ability to generate surplus in its ordinary course of business,
excluding non-recurrent capital grants, non-monetary asset contributions and other
contributions to fund capital expenditure from its net result. A surplus or increasing
surplus suggests an improvement in the operating position.
The forecast result of -1% indicates a medium risk and this can indicate a risk of long
term run down to cash reserves and inability to fund asset renewal
Underlying Result
A positive result indicates a surplus. The larger the percentage, the stronger the result.
A negative result indicates a deficit. The result indicates Council’s core financial
performance and sustainability in providing ongoing services. Operating deficits cannot
be sustained in the long term. The forecast result of 4% indicates a Low risk.
Internal Financing
This measures an entity’s ability to finance capital works from generated cash flow. The
forecast result of 104% indicates a Low risk.
Capital Replacement
This is a long-term indicator measuring how well Council is reinvesting in or replacing its
assets, indicating if asset renewals match or exceed depreciation over time, ensuring
infrastructure sustainability. The forecast result of 1.13 indicates a medium risk and that
spending is faster than the depreciation rate. This result should be read with caution as
it is important to note that only 59% of the overall capital budget was identified as
renewal and upgrade expenditure.
Asset Renewal
This indicator measures spending on renewing existing assets compared to depreciation,
indicating if the council is adequately maintaining infrastructure to meet community
needs sustainably. The forecast result of 0.90 indicates a medium risk and is constant
with only 59% of the overall forecasted capital budget identified as renewal and
upgrade. This would suggest that there is moderate spending on the renewal and
upgrade of existing assets.
Liquidity
The actual result of 4.27 indicates a Low risk to Council. This is due to a change in
accounting treatment of rates income. The full amount of rates income is now recognised
when we issue the Annual Notice, instead of progressively recognising income over the
year which has significantly increased the rates debtors in current assets at the start of
the year. It is anticipated that the ratio will be in line with the budget at year end with
the payment of rates.
Indebtedness
The Actual result of 38.33% indicates Low risk and that Council has the ability to repay
debt from its own revenue sources.

Community Engagement
The Annual Budget 2024/2025 was adopted by Council at the Council Meeting on 18

commitment to the principles of sound financial management by reviewing Council’s
financial position to the adopted budget, projecting a year end position to ensure overall
financial strength of Council and outlining to the community that Council is managing its
finances in a sustainable and responsible manner.
Regulatory:
legal, legislative or regulatory implications including the rights/obligations
of stakeholders

Capital Performance
The 2024/25 Annual Budget is $61.36 million, comprising of $58.67 million of Capital Works projects and $2.69 million carried forward from the 2023/24 financial year.
YTD Capital Works actual expenditure is $5.04 million against a YTD budget of $3.77 million, a variance of ($1.27) million, driven mainly by expenditure greater than
forecasted in Recreation, Leisure and Community Facilities ($0.18) million, Parks Open Space & Streetscapes ($0.54) million, Roads ($0.74) million, Buildings ($0.21)
million and Stormwater Drainage ($0.39) million. This was partly offset by expenditure less than forecasted in Plant Machinery & Equipment of $0.84 million.
The YTD received external funding is $2.72 million comprising recurrent and non-recurrent grants and contributions. The total full year external funding is forecasted at
$5.18 million.

Cash Flow
The YTD cash balance is $93.98 million comprising an opening balance of $77.97 million at 1 July 2024 and year-to-date net inflows of $16.02 million.
The forecast closing cash at bank for the year ending 30 June 2025 is $80.74 million which is $450k higher than the budgeted closing cash at bank of $80.29 million. This is
due to the following:
•
Higher than budgeted net cash inflows of $3.83 million from operating activities comprising of:
o
Rates and Charges $1.55 million, Grants Operating & Capital $1.34 million, Contributions monetary $1.26 million and User Fees $627k. This is offset
by unfavourable outflow ($1.58 million) in Materials and Services.
•
Higher than budgeted outflow of cash of ($2.16 million) expected for Capital Works program. Refer to Capital Works section below for explanation.
•
Lower than Forecasted opening cash balance at 1st July 2024 of ($981K) driven by Rates, Grants and Employee Expenses in the previous year.

contributed significantly to reducing premium
costs.

Balance Sheet
Victorian Auditor-General’s Office Sustainability Indicators
Adjusted Underlying
Result
This measures an entity’s ability to generate surplus in its ordinary course of business, excluding non-recurrent
capital grants, non-monetary asset contributions and other contributions to fund capital expenditure from its net
result. A surplus or increasing surplus suggests an improvement in the operating position.
The forecast result of -1% indicates a Medium risk.
Brimbank Council Meeting No. 641 - 10 December 2024
109 of 262
Attachment 12.3.1
7
Underlying Result
A positive result indicates a surplus. The larger the percentage, the stronger the result. A negative result
indicates a deficit. The result indicates Council’s core financial performance and sustainability in providing ongoing
services. Operating deficits cannot be sustained in the long term. The forecast result of 4% indicates a Low risk.
Internal Financing
This measures an entity’s ability to finance capital works from generated cash flow. The forecast result of 104%
indicates a Low risk.
Capital Replacement
This compares the rate of spending on new infrastructure, property, plant and equipment with its depreciation.
Ratios higher than 1 indicate that spending is faster than the depreciating rate.
This is a long-term indicator measuring how well Council is reinvesting in or replacing its assets, indicating if asset
renewals match or exceed depreciation over time, ensuring infrastructure sustainability. The forecast result of
1.13 indicates a Medium risk and that spending is faster than the depreciation rate. This result should be read
with caution as it is important to note that only 59% of the overall Forecasted capital budget was identified as
renewal and upgrade expenditure.
Renewal gap
This indicator measures spending on renewing existing assets compared to depreciation, indicating if the council
is adequately maintaining infrastructure to meet community needs sustainably.
The forecast result of 0.90 indicates a Medium risk and is constant with only 59% of the overall Forecasted capital
budget identified as renewal and upgrade. This would suggest that there is moderate spending on the renewal
and upgrade of existing assets.
Liquidity
This measures an entity’s ability to pay existing liabilities in the next 12 months.
The actual result of 4.27 indicates a Low risk to Council. This is due to a change in accounting treatment of rates
income. The full amount of rates income is now recognised when we issue the Annual Notice, instead of
progressively recognising income over the year which has significantly increased the rates debtors in current
assets at the start of the year. It is anticipated that the ratio will be in line with the budget at year end with the
payment of rates.
Indebtedness
This assesses an entity’s ability to pay the principal and interest on its borrowings when they are due from the
funds it generates. The lower the ratio, the less revenue the entity is required to use to repay its total debt.
The Actual result of 38.33% indicates Low risk and that Council has the ability to repay debt from its own revenue
sources.

Capital Works Report
Full Year
The 2024/25 Adopted Capital Works Budget is $61.36 million, comprising of $58.67 million of Capital Works projects funded in the 2024/25 financial year and $2.69 million
carried forward from the 2023/24 financial year.
The Capital Works forecasted expenditure is $63.52 million, which is ($2.16) million more than the adopted budget, in part due to Carry Forward Variations from 2023-24
of ($1.76) million. Officers expect the overall expenditure to be managed, to fall within the budgeted allocation, by the end of the financial year.
Year to Date
Total Actual YTD Expenditure is $5.04 million, or 8.2% of the adopted budgeted amount. This is ($1.27) million or 33.72% above YTD Budget. Expenditure contributing to
this includes;
•
Recreation Leisure Community Facilities actual expenditure is ($0.18) million over the YTD budget.
•
Parks Open Space & Streetscapes actual expenditure is ($0.54) million over the YTD budget.

projects within the entire capital works program. The 2024/2025 Capital Works Program comprises 212 new and ongoing projects, including 15 carried forward projects
from June 30, 2024, that are set for completion this year.
As of the 30 September 2024, no projects have been reported as being complete.
No approved budget variations, budget savings, or carry-forward projects have been identified. However, risk assessments indicate that the following projects may face
cost overruns, major scope changes, or may not be completed within the financial year:
•
Isabella Williams Bridge (Project ID 1418) - Project on hold to enable additional review of options, given escalating costs.
•
Sunshine Leisure Centre Upgrade and Renewal Works (Project ID 796) - On hold to enable review of scope and costs as Tender responses not viable.
Officers will report back with further details on projects at risk and any other changes to the program and projects throughout the year.

Environmental Upgrade Agreement Quarterly Report
An Environmental Upgrade Agreement (EUA) is a financing agreement to improve the environmental performance of a commercial building. The agreement is between a financial institution,
a property owner and Council.
The financial institution advances funds to a commercial property owner to undertake upgrade works. The commercial property owner then makes repayments through their Council rates.
The benefit of Council involvement is that the loan is attached to the Council rates for the commercial property, and therefore has a high level of security. This security enables the financial
institution to offer very attractive loan terms.
To be eligible for a EUA the building:
- Must have been rateable premises for the past two years.
- Must be commercial premises with a minimum of 50% of the building operating as commercial.
- Must not have been in arrears with rate payments for the past three years.
- Must not be owned through a superannuation trust.
- Tenanted commercial buildings are eligible
This report provides an update on the Environmental Upgrade Agreements involving Council, as required by the Local Government Act.
In accordance with the Local Government Act 1989, Section 138 Quarterly Statements,
(1) At least every 3 months, the Chief Executive Officer must ensure that a statement comparing the budgeted revenue and expenditure for the financial year with the actual revenue
and expenditure to date is presented to the Council at a Council meeting which is open to the public.
(2) The regulations may prescribe matters to be included in the statement.
The Local Government Act 1989 further requires under Section 181G, Quarterly Statement that:
The Chief Executive Officer must ensure that a statement prepared under section 138 includes a record of the following—
a) each environmental upgrade agreement entered into in the last quarter, and the rateable land to which the agreement relates;
b) each environmental upgrade charge approved in respect of the agreements referred to in paragraph (a), and the value of the charges;
c) the total number of environmental upgrade charges in operation in the last quarter;
d) the total value of all environmental upgrade charge payments that have fallen due and have not been paid;
e) the total value of all environmental upgrade charge payments that are yet to fall due.

Proposed Council Meeting Dates for 2025
Council’s current meeting cycle model was introduced in March 2016. The model consists
of a Planning Forum (with no decision making functions) held on the second Tuesday of
the month, and a Council Meeting generally on the third Tuesday of the month. The
election of the Mayor is to be held the Tuesday following the anniversary of the election
of the Mayor. Additionally, two Tuesdays of the month are used to provide briefings to
Councillors on upcoming matters likely to be presented to Council for consideration.
The proposed Council Meeting Dates for 2025 are at
Attachment 4
. It is recommended
Council approve these dates and give notice in the Star Weekly newspaper and on
Council’s website.
Audit and Risk Committee Charter and Independent membership
Council’s Audit and Risk Committee (ARC) is governed by a Charter, most recently
reviewed and adopted by Council on 19 September 2023.
The Charter outlines that there are to be three Independent ARC Members, one of which
will act as the Independent Chair of the committee. Each Independent Member is elected
to a term of three years, with the option of a three year extension based on
performance.
Two Independent Members have terms concluding in the near future. Firstly,
Independent Member Jen Johanson’s first three year term comes to completion at the
end of 2025. Ms Johanson’s performance on Council’s ARC has been assessed as
satisfactory. It is recommended that Council notes the reappointment of independent
member, Jen Johanson to the Audit and Risk Committee for an additional three-year
term. This is based on mutual agreement and her satisfactory performance as per the
Charter.
Secondly, the tenure of ARC’s current Independent Chair, Geoff Harry, comes to an end
in February 2025, which will be his second, and last, three year term. However, to
support the transfer of the role to the new committee Chair and maintain the
committee’s independent membership requirement during the recruitment of the role, it
is proposed that Mr Harry’s role be extend until the end of June 2025.
Recruitment of a new Independent Chair will commence in early 2025.
To facilitate the above proposal, it is recommended that the Audit and Risk Committee
Charter be amended to include under the Appointment section:
Section 3.13 - To support the smooth transfer of committee membership to
newly appointed members, the Committee can extend an existing independent
committee member beyond the three-year term plus additional three-year term,
as approved by Council.
The amendment to the Charter is presented to Council for approval
(Attachment 5)
.
Appointment of Authorised Officers under the
Planning and Environment Act
1987
An Authorised Officer is an individual formally appointed by a council or Chief Executive
Officer under the
Local Government Act 2020
or other relevant legislation to perform
regulatory and enforcement functions. These officers ensure compliance with legislation
and local laws, such as planning, animal management, public health, and environmental
protection, and are empowered to investigate, issue fines or notices, and conduct
inspections.
Brimbank Council Meeting No. 641 - 10 December 2024
122 of 262
Their authority is granted through an official instrument of appointment that specifies
their duties, and they operate under several legislative frameworks, including the
Planning and Environment Act 1987
and the
Domestic Animals Act 1994
.
Council has delegated the power to appoint authorised officers to the Chief Executive
Officer in most instances in order to enforce provisions of various acts and local laws.
However, Section 188(2)(c) of the
Planning and Environment Act 1987 (Planning Act)
precludes Council from delegating its power to appoint an authorised officer for the
purposes of enforcing the
Planning Act
.
The Instruments of Delegation
(Attachment 6),
based on the template provided by the
Maddocks Delegations and Authorisations Service, provide for Council to appoint an
officer by resolution, pursuant to section 147 of the
Planning Act
. The Instruments also
include the general appointment provision in section 313 of the
Local Government Act
2020
to commence proceedings on behalf of Council.
A Council resolution is therefore required to authorise officers under the
Planning
Act.
As such, it is recommended that the following officers be appointed: Ian Babore,
Winny Enniss, Sunny Rehman and Glenda Roberts.

Background
Committees
Council has established a range of internal advisory committees to which it appoints
Council representatives. Council is also invited to participate on external committees
convened by other organisations and bodies, to which it appoints Council delegates.
The role of the Council representative or delegate is defined in the Terms of Reference
for each committee, and is, broadly, to represent the issues facing, and position of
Council.
Matters for Consideration
Committee Appointments
Council has established a range of internal advisory committees to which it appoints
Council representatives. Council is also invited to participate on external committees
convened by other organisations and bodies, to which it appoints delegates. The role of
the Council representative or delegate is defined in the Terms of Reference for each
committee, and is, broadly, to represent the issues facing, and position of Council.
Council generally reviews appointments of Council representatives and delegates to
committees on an annual basis.
At the Council Meeting on 20 November 2024, Council appointed Council delegates and
representatives to the LeadWest Joint Delegated Committee and the Audit and Risk
Committee.
It is recommended that Council appoints Council delegates and representatives to the
remaining of the committees.
Committees Proposed to be Discontinued
The following committees are recommended for discontinuation due to low attendance,
resource constraints, and the availability of alternative forums or processes to address
the relevant issues.
Heritage Advisory Committee
The Heritage Advisory Committee has experienced low attendance and difficulty
achieving a quorum, even after reducing membership. Much of the information shared
can be communicated directly to historical societies via email. Meetings often focus on
general enquiries rather than heritage matters, and require significant Council resources.
Brimbank Council Meeting No. 641 - 10 December 2024
168 of 262
Recruitment efforts have been largely unsuccessful, and heritage work already
undergoes community consultation through legislative processes, reducing the need for
the committee.
Future actions (subject to adoption of recommendation):
•
Engage with historical societies as needed for heritage policy development and
planning scheme amendments.
•
Explore more effective ways to promote heritage within Brimbank.
•
Exhibit heritage amendments in accordance with the
Planning and Environment
Act 1987
.
Brooklyn Industrial Precinct Committee
The Brooklyn Industrial Precinct Committee has faced low attendance from industry
members, despite accommodating their preferred meeting times, dates, and formats.
The committee's aim to engage businesses for site development has been challenging to
progress due to declining participation. Since COVID-19, actions arising from these
meetings have been minimal and could be addressed more efficiently via direct
communication or confirm action requests. Additionally, there are alternative forums,
such as the Brimbank Community Representative Group, to address precinct issues, and
other networking opportunities for businesses, such as Brimbank Business Link Meet
ups, making the loss of this committee negligible.
Future actions (subject to adoption of recommendation):
•
Promote alternative business networking forums through Economic
Development.
•
Support the Brimbank Community Representative Group as a platform for
residents and industry to discuss air quality concerns.
Social Justice Coalition – Strategic Implementation Group
The Social Justice Coalition – SIG has faced limited engagement from stakeholder
participants, indicating insufficient interest in its current form. It is recommended that
Council ceases the operation of the Social Justice Coalition – Strategic Implementation.
Future actions (subject to adoption of recommendation):
•
Reassess engagement processes with key stakeholders on shared social justice
priorities in line with the review of Council’s Social Justice Charter and strategic
approach in 2025.
•
Explore alternative frameworks or working groups that could support social
justice initiatives with a structure and focus that better align with Council
priorities. This approach allows for an adaptable structure that would more
effectively support social justice objectives and align with Council interests and
community needs.
•
Existing SIG community organisation representatives will be invited to join the
Brimbank Service Providers Network and Safety Wellbeing Partnership, which
serve similar purposes to the SIG and provide opportunity for ongoing
collaboration between partners and Council.
Melbourne Regional Landfill Community Reference Group
The Melbourne Regional Landfill Community Reference Group is not an advisory
committee to Council but operates under Cleanaway as a reference group for landfill

Transforming Brimbank Community Campaign
Located in the middle of Melbourne’s fast-growing western suburbs, Brimbank is home to
nearly 200,000 residents and is a car-centric municipality facing high traffic congestion,
limited transport options, a high unemployment rate, diverse housing needs, and a less
mature development market.
Brimbank Council Meeting No. 641 - 10 December 2024
171 of 262
At the centre of Brimbank sits the Sunshine Precinct, strategically located less than
15 km west of the CBD and less than 15 km south of Melbourne Airport. The Precinct is
also a transport hub with ample land available for development. It is therefore well
placed to be the centre of Melbourne’s booming west and a key economic hub, with the
capacity for an additional 29,000 jobs and housing for 43,000 new residents by 2051.
The Sunshine Precinct is the only location in Melbourne that the Victorian Government
has declared a Metropolitan Activity Centre, a National Employment and Innovation
Centre, a Priority Precinct and a Transport Super Hub. It has also been added to
Infrastructure Australia’s list of priority projects.
To realise Sunshine’s full potential and break the cycle of generational disadvantage in
Melbourne’s west, Council launched the ‘Transforming Brimbank’ advocacy campaign in
2021, focused on major local infrastructure investments promoting transport
connectivity and stimulating significant economic growth, particularly around the
Sunshine Precinct. As part of this campaign, we produced the Sunshine Priority Precinct
Vision 2050 followed by the ‘Let’s Build It Better’ brochure, positioning Sunshine as a key
Priority Precinct with significant opportunities for transport connections, jobs, economic
development and housing.
In response, the Victorian Government released the Sunshine Precinct Opportunity
Statement in November 2021, outlining its vision and framework for transformational
outcomes in the area. This was followed by several government announcements ahead
of the 2022 Victorian State election which committed to constructing a new train station
at Keilor East, $80 million towards the rebuild of Albion Station and the release of the
Sunshine Station Masterplan coupled with a $143m commitment towards implementing
the first stage of this Masterplan. Despite these announcements, delays have since
emerged.
In May 2023, the Australian Government conducted a review of the nation’s
‘Infrastructure Investment Program’, casting doubts on the MAR project and related
infrastructure projects committed for Melbourne’s west, including the implementation of
the Sunshine Station Masterplan, the Albion Station rebuild and the new Keilor East
station. After strong advocacy efforts from Brimbank, the Australian Government
reconfirmed its $5 billion commitment to MAR in November 2023. However, due to a
longstanding disagreement between the Melbourne Airport operator and the Victorian
Government over the positioning of the station at the airport (underground vs above
ground), the Australian Government appointed an independent mediator in January 2024
in an attempt to break the deadlock. Following the mediation process in June 2024, it
was recommended that the airport station be built above-ground. Despite Melbourne
Airport’s consequent concession to proceed with an above-ground station, the Victorian
Government has insisted on a 4-year delay to the MAR project. A further complicating
issue is the Australian Government’s approval in August 2024 of Melbourne Airport’s
Major Development Plan for a third runway. Set to become operational in 2031, this
additional runway will result in an increased number of airline passengers and airport
staff. In the absence of an airport rail, the traffic congestion on the already busy road
network in Melbourne’s west will be further exacerbated.
The Australian Government’s independent mediation also recommended that
“works
continue at Sunshine Station to transform this into the major transport hub that it was
planned to be
”, and that these works can proceed on a ‘no regrets’ basis due to existing
progress and future benefits. In September 2024, Council welcomed a joint
announcement by the State and Federal Governments to invest $63.5m to commence
works to rebuild Sunshine Station in preparation for MAR. While this is a step in the right
direction, no start date has been specified for the Sunshine Station Masterplan, which
includes 3 Victorian Government-owned development sites; Station Place, Sun Crescent
and Southern Village, each offering diverse spaces for new businesses and affordable
housing to address the current housing crisis.
Brimbank Council Meeting No. 641 - 10 December 2024
172 of 262
New residential dwellings close to public and active transport connections can also be
achieved by the development of the Albion Quarter which sits on the northern end of the
Sunshine Precinct. In May 2024, the Victorian Government released the Albion Quarter
Structure Plan discussion paper. This aims at transitioning the area around Albion
Station from industrial-focused businesses to mixed use by supporting the next
generation of jobs, housing, innovation and services. Council looks forward to continuing
to work with the Victorian Government on the progression and implementation of this
Structure Plan.
Matters for Consideration
Relevant Advocacy Developments
The whole-of-Council advocacy-related developments and highlights from September
2024 to the end of November 2024 are summarised below.
Melbourne Airport Third Runway - Announcement & Senate Inquiry (Maintain Influence)
For over 2 years, Brimbank has advocated strongly for the Federal Government to
consider the health impacts of Melbourne Airport’s proposed third runway on our
residents. We have hosted and participated in various community events, provided
numerous submissions to government and raised the matter on multiple occasions at the
National General Assembly of the Australian Local Government Association. We have also
met with the responsible Minister the Hon Catherine King MP on several occasions.
The Minister provided conditional approval for the Major Development Plan (MDP) for the
project on 13 September 2024. We will continue to advocate to Melbourne Airport and
the Federal Government about the importance of community engagement with the
Brimbank community and improvements to airport planning.
Following the government’s decision to approve the MDP, a Senate Inquiry into the
Impact and Mitigation of Aircraft Noise
was held on 20 September 2024. Brimbank
welcomed this Inquiry as well as the topics that were discussed, particularly our
concerns with Melbourne Airport’s third runway that were raised by Senator Steph
Hodgins-May.
Development of the Sunshine Precinct (Gold)
On 19 September 2024, the State and Federal Governments jointly announced a $63.5
million investment to start works to rebuild Sunshine Station. This will include an
additional platform, track and bridge works, as well as signalling improvements.
The works will create the capacity for:
•
A rail connection to Melbourne Airport, enabling 6 trains per hour to the airport.
•
More frequent and reliable services passing through Sunshine.
•
Additional services from Wyndham Vale.
•
Future electrified trains to run from Melton.
Council issued a media release and a social media post to welcome this announcement,
particularly as it forms part of our gold level Transforming Brimbank advocacy priority.
The announcement was followed by a visit to Brimbank on 23 October by the Hon Colin
Brooks MP, Victorian Minister for Precincts. This was an opportunity for Council Officers
to discuss our vision for the Sunshine Precinct with the Minister as well as next steps.
Brimbank Council Meeting No. 641 - 10 December 2024
173 of 262
Inquiry into Local Government Funding and Services (Maintain Influence)
On 19 September 2024, Brimbank Council Officers appeared before the
Inquiry into
Local Government Funding and Services
to provide evidence on how current government
legislative requirements and regulations are fast becoming a burden on Local
Government. Brimbank’s evidence included our challenges to invest in community
infrastructure and deliver necessary community services while dealing with the
restrictions of rate-capping and the cost-shifting of responsibilities from the Victorian
Government to Local Government. Examples of cost-shifting in Brimbank include:
•
School crossing supervisors
•
Changes in funding to libraries
•
Changes in funding to maternal and child health programs
•
Policy changes for kindergartens
•
Changes to State policy on waste that are driving increased expenditure
•
Responsibility for social infrastructure
•
Expenses related to flammable cladding
•
Public maintenance of works for which the State is responsible, such as arterial
roads.
Brimbank used the opportunity of this Inquiry to advocate for:
•
A review of the current rate-capping system
•
Increase government grant funding as well as an increase in the quantum of the
Federal Government’s Financial Assistance Grants
•
Cost-shifting to be analysed and consideration given for appropriate levels of
funding.
Road Safety Works (Silver)
On 29 October 2024, State Minister for Roads the Hon Melissa Horne MP announced the
beginning of works funded through the $210 million
Safer Local Roads and Streets
Program
that was committed last year. This will include $616,000 for the installation of
speed humps along Hall Street, Hilma Street and Mailey Street in Sunshine West. The
speed humps will be spaced in regular intervals to encourage slower speeds, increasing
pedestrian safety and reducing the likelihood of crashes.
Transforming Brimbank Community Campaign
Launched in April 2021, Council’s Transforming Brimbank campaign preceded the State
Government committing to a number of significant projects ahead of the 2022 Victorian
State Election. However, the progression of these projects has been much slower than
anticipated, coupled with the construction of the MAR being delayed until 2033. A new
Council term creates an opportunity to refresh and resume the Transforming Brimbank
campaign, with the aim of progressing the projects that have been promised for the
residents of Brimbank and Melbourne’s west.
Council’s new campaign will be focusing on the development of the Sunshine Precinct as
the first step of the MAR project. We will also be calling on the State Government to
reconsider the 4-year delay to the rail’s construction. With the third runway at Melbourne
Airport set to be operational by 2031, the increased number of airline passengers and
airport staff will further congest the already busy Tullamarine Freeway. It is therefore
imperative that the rail be completed before the runway.
Investment in both the Sunshine Precinct and MAR is poised to unlock one of
Melbourne’s largest urban renewal projects and up to $8 billion in private economic
development opportunities, attracting new residents, businesses, creative industries and
tourists to Melbourne’s west.
Brimbank Council Meeting No. 641 - 10 December 2024
174 of 262
Our Campaign
Council’s campaign will call for the fulfilment of government commitments to:
•
Immediately commence works on the Sunshine Station Masterplan (State and
Federal)
•
Revise the timeline of the MAR project so that the rail is completed ahead of
Melbourne Airport’s third runway becoming operational in 2031 (State and
Federal)
•
Proceed to rebuilding Albion Station (State) and ensuring that the Albion
Quarter Structure Plan aligns with the vision of our community
•
Construct the new train station at Keilor East (State)
•
Provide clear timelines for the above-mentioned projects.
In addition, Council calls on the State Government to introduce a new direct bus service
from Sunshine Station to Melbourne Airport, thereby providing airport staff and airline
passengers with this much needed connection from a major transport hub in Melbourne’s
west to one of the State’s largest single-site employers.
Melbourne’s west has not received the level of infrastructure funding that is required to
sustain one of the nation’s fastest growing populations. Such infrastructure is also critical
for the investment to accommodate the strong need for new housing development in the
region. Our campaign is necessary to ensure that Melbourne’s west is given the same
level of priority as Melbourne’s east that will benefit from mega projects such as the
Suburban Rail Loop, set to service populations that are already well connected by public
transport, despite costing significantly more and requiring a much longer timeline to
build compared with the Melbourne Airport Rail project.
Community Engagement
This report is consistent with the policy, evidence and current positions of Council, widely
informed by community engagement and insight and the Brimbank Advocacy Plan 2023-
25. Our Transforming Brimbank campaign is based on Council’s Sunshine Priority
