Wanneroo revenue committee future left unclear after replacement plan lapses
The City of Wanneroo’s Revenue Review Committee considered disbanding and creating a replacement advisory group, but the main proposal lapsed without a mover and an alternative motion’s result is not provided.
The City of Wanneroo’s Revenue Review Committee remains without a clear future after a proposal to replace it with a Revenue Review Advisory Group lapsed for want of a mover.
The committee considered disbanding itself and creating the advisory group to oversee fees, charges, land policy and revenue opportunities. The main recommendation lapsed without a mover.
A separate motion seeking to disband the committee without establishing a replacement was also considered, but its final result is not provided. The structure for future revenue oversight therefore remains unclear.
Administration is to prepare further advice for Council on the future structure, although no timetable was specified. The next Revenue Review Committee meeting is also yet to be confirmed.
The governance question was considered alongside proposals affecting parking, compliance and strategic land policy across Wanneroo. The committee voted 5 - 1 against introducing paid parking across the City and supported broader timed parking in areas with high occupancy.
Those areas include locations around the Wanneroo Markets, schools and community sporting grounds, where parking pressures have been identified. The City currently has no paid parking on public property, apart from Mindarie Marina under a private-property parking agreement.
The committee endorsed a strengthened education-first approach to Community Safety compliance. The approach includes written cautions, stronger documentation and officer discretion in suitable low-risk cases, along with targeted enforcement operations for selected recurring offences.
School parking will have a shorter caution period. Written cautions will apply for the first two weeks of term one before infringement-based enforcement begins, rather than for the first school term.
Strategic Land Policy implementation will continue, but no specific land sale or purchase was approved. Proposed future disposals or acquisitions must return to an Ordinary Council meeting for consideration.
Until the committee’s future is settled, it remains unclear which body will oversee Wanneroo’s work on fees, charges, land policy and revenue opportunities.
