Notice of Motion - Criminal Code (Decriminalising Sex Work) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024

Recommendation 

Moved by Councillor Andrew Antoniolli:

Seconded by Councillor Paul Tully:

 

That Council consider the implications of the legislation change as a result of the Criminal Code (Decriminalising Sex Work) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024 as it relates to Council’s planning controls, advertising and any prohibited uses for example proximity to schools, churches etc.

 

 

Councillor Paul Tully proposed the following amendment:

 

That the following paragraph be added to Recommendation 10 and that the existing paragraph become paragraph A.

B.         That the Council make urgent representations to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Planning and Minister for Public Works Meaghan Scanlon MP in relation to the Criminal Code (Decriminalising Sex Work) and Other Legislation Amendment Act which became law on 2 August 2024 in relation to the following matters and legislative loopholes:

1.    The former Prostitution Regulation 2014 prohibited brothels within 200 metres of a residential area, residential building or public building but that legislation is now repealed and legal brothels are now permitted adjacent to, or in the vicinity of, churches, schools, child care centres and other places where children congregate, subject to having a lawful commercial land use.   Councils are unable to restrict or refuse such establishments, other than having planning controls which apply to all business uses.

2.    That brothels may now be legally established as “home based businesses” in residential areas provided the workers reside on the premises with up to one non-resident worker. Under the new legislation, “home based businesses” cannot be made “impact assessable” and therefore do not require public notification, with the public having no formal right of objection or any right to appeal such matter to the Planning and Environment Court.

 

3.    That “home based businesses” may operate lawfully between the hours of 7am to 6pm Monday to Saturday.  Any applications to vary individual hours are deemed “code assessable” and therefore are not required to be advertised or notified to adjoining property owners or the general public, and with the public having no formal right of objection or any right to appeal the matter to the Planning and Environment Court.

 

4.    Permitted signage advertising a lawful brothel in a residential area is allowed up to 0.5m2, being the equivalent of 1 metre by 0.5 metres. The wording is subject to the discretion of the brothel owner or operator as Councils do not control the wording and / or graphic content of advertisements for lawful businesses. Indiscreet or offensive advertising of brothels could occur in both residential and commercial areas.

The mover of the original motion agreed to the proposed amendment.

 

At 10.37am Deputy Mayor Nicole Jonic left the meeting room.

At 10.40 am Deputy Mayor Nicole Jonic returned to the meeting room.

At 10.48 am Councillor Marnie Doyle left the meeting room.

At 10.48 am Councillor Marnie Doyle returned to the meeting room.

The motion was put and carried by block resolve.

 

In accordance with section 150ET(4) of the Local Government Act 2009, Councillor Marnie Doyle advised of a previously declared Declarable Conflict of Interest in relation to matters concerning properties in the CBD owned by the family of Louise Wallace and her husband Dr Michael Fish. This declaration was made at the Ipswich Central Redevelopment Committee of 13 October 2022.

 

The previously declared nature of the related party’s interest in the matter was that Dr Michael Fish is the son of Gloria Fish (recently deceased). Gloria Fish is a part owner, with others, of properties in Ipswich Central specifically described as:

·    Nolan’s Corner – 135–141 Brisbane Street, Ipswich, and

·    Adjacent properties at 44-46 Nicholas Street, Ipswich.

 

Dr Michael Fish is the son of Gloria Fish (recently deceased). Gloria Fish is a partner with others, in the property known as Nolan’s Plaza, specifically described as:

·    Nolan’s Plaza – 44 East Street, Ipswich.

 

The eligible councillors at that meeting resolved that Councillor Marnie Doyle may participate in any future decision process in relation to the matters, including by voting on the matters.

 

Councillor Marnie Doyle advised that she is declaring this matter again as the estate of Gloria Fish has now been finalised and the estate now sits with the four children of Gloria Fish.

Dr Michael Fish is one of those four children and is a close personal friend and Councillor Doyle is Godmother to his and his wife’s (Louise Wallace) son.

 

Dr Michael Fish now has 1/4th ownership in the ‘properties’ previously declared.

 

For context and background Councillor Doyle noted that the ownership of the properties described above lies with 5 separate owners. One of the owners was Gerry Nolan, and when he passed, his ownership of his part of the building transferred to his 4 daughters. One of those daughters is Gloria Fish who has sadly passed, leaving her share to her four children (beneficiaries of her estate) with one of those children being Dr Michael Fish.

 

Councillor Doyle explained that as a result, the ownership of the property that is the subject of the potential conflict of interest represents 1/5th of the entire building, and with respect to the ownership structure of that 1/5th, it is ¼ share of the ¼ ownership.

 

It was moved by Mayor Teresa Harding and seconded by Councillor Paul Tully that Councillor Marnie Doyle participates and remains in the meeting including by voting on items related to the Nicholas Street Precinct because there is no personal or financial benefit to the Councillor and therefore a reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.

BACKGROUND

 

1.      Current Significant Matters

Fire Station 101 evolution to include a creative hub

The transformation of Fire Station 101 into a dynamic multi-arts hub marks a significant milestone for Council. Leveraging insights from the Ipswich Arts Advisory Group and the 2023 Creators of Ipswich Summit, the venue now serves as a vibrant nucleus for the creative sector. The hub's role in fostering opportunities for local talent, further augmented by the new Content Room—a dedicated space for digital content creation. This initiative, integral to the Ipswich Central Revitalisation project, aims to cultivate a cultural epicentre within the community. The Ipswich Art Workshop's role in nurturing creative talents, underscored by events like The Drowsy Chaperone, aligns with the council's vision for a thriving artistic future in Ipswich.


 

Liveability boosted through community projects

Ipswich's commitment to enhancing community infrastructure and liveability has been bolstered with the recent funding allocation for two key projects: the Redbank Plains Recreation Reserve and Tivoli Sports Complex developments. This financial support, stemming from the SEQ City Deal Liveability Fund, underscores a collaborative effort among federal, state, and local governments. These developments are important in meeting the growing demand for sports facilities, fostering community spirit, and preparing for the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. These initiatives are part of a broader strategy under the SEQ City Deal, aimed at supporting the health and wellbeing of residents amidst ongoing population growth.

 

The Ipswich & West Moreton BMX Club is also celebrating the completion of a $2.1 million upgrade to their Willey Street facility, including a new canteen, first aid room, toilets, and storage areas. The upgrade is seen as a strategic move to foster talent for the upcoming Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, with the improved facilities expected to attract more events and benefit rising stars, who are potential competitors in the Games.

 

Ipswich SES supported to be prepared

 

The Ipswich City SES Unit is set to enhance its operational capabilities with the addition of two new all-terrain vehicles and trailers, thanks to over $80,000 in funding from the State Government secured by Council. This investment, covering 75% of the costs, is a significant boost for the unit's 220+ volunteers who are dedicated to aiding the community during emergencies. The council's commitment to equipping the SES with the necessary tools underscores the vital role these volunteers play in maintaining safety and resilience in the face of extreme weather and disasters. This initiative is part of a broader state effort, with 76 SES units across Queensland benefiting from a collective $3.7 million in support for essential upgrades.

New Committee established for Local Law review

Council has established a new committee to spearhead the revision of the city's local laws. The Regulation Advisory Committee has embarked on a structured three-phase review process, crucial for addressing unique local governance issues such as animal control, parking, and environmental protection. The committee's inaugural meeting on August 5, 2024, marked the commencement of this significant undertaking, which will involve policy development, procedural updates, and a thorough examination of existing laws to reflect the evolving needs of Ipswich's diverse community. Additionally, the committee's insights will contribute to the formulation of the Ipswich Plan 2024, ensuring that regulatory measures align with the city's growth strategies.

 

 


 

2.      Workplace Health and Safety

 

LGAQ LTIFR rate is calculated on a calendar year and not a 12-month rolling total which ICC uses.  LTIFR data was not available for February, March and April due to the Fusion system upgrade.

 

 

The LTIFR rate equates to lost time injuries every six months. The State Average is the average of LTIFR across the 62 local councils within the Local Government Association

Queensland (LGAQ) scheme.

 

The physical and psycho-social safety and wellbeing of the workforce continues to be the CEO and the organisation’s first and foremost priority.

 

 

The LTSR rate equates to the number of days lost for each LTI.  The State Average is the average of LTSR across the 62 local councils within the LGAQ scheme.  The LGAQ rate is calculated on a calendar year and not a 12-month rolling total which ICC uses.

 

 

 

 

The Injury Incident Rate (IIR) is a new reporting indicator for Council as of June 2023. The IIR rate is the number of injury incidents per 100 workers.  The State Average is the average of IIR across the 62 local councils within the LGAQ scheme.

 

3.      Update on Corporate/Operational Plans

The Quarterly Performance Report for July-September 2024 (Quarter 1 period) on the 2024-2025 Operational Plan will be presented to the 28 November 2024 Council meeting.

 

The Annual Plan and the last quarterly report are available on council’s website:

https://www.ipswich.qld.gov.au/about_council/media/corporate_publications/annual-plan

 


 

4.      Major Key Performance Indicators

 

People and Culture

 

 

The total workforce for the council organisation ‘head count’ was 1588 in August 2024.

 

 

Staff turnover rate was at 10.83% in August 2024.

 

For interest, but not direct comparison due to the time and calculation differential, the annual average workforce attrition rate for South-East Queensland councils for 2023 reported by the Local Government Association of Queensland was 16%.

 

Finance

 

Due to the early timing of this Council meeting a financial performance comment is unavailable for this report. A financial performance report for the month of August 2024 will be provided to the Finance and Governance Committee at the meeting in October 2024.

 

Capital Delivery Program 2024-2025

 

Overall, it was a satisfactory performance for the month of August. Rain during the middle of the month delayed some work for a week. Otherwise, the projects progressed as expected.

 

5.      Risk and Compliance Update

 

Corporate Risk Register

 

Council’s corporate risk register is reviewed every two months at the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) Risk Committee meeting, Council’s corporate risk register will be fully reviewed at the ELT Risk Committee meeting to be held on 22 October 2024, with amendments agreed to, areas of responsibility, key mitigations, action plans and milestone progress.

 

Council’s corporate risk register and risk trends in these risks are reported through Council’s Audit and Risk Management Committee (ARMC) which is held every quarter.  The corporate risk register and risk trends in these risks are also circulated to all Councillors on a quarterly basis.

 

Council continues to seek to actively manage and mitigate its corporate risks.


Legal Matters


An overview of all active court proceedings is provided in a confidential attachment to this report.

 

Matters that are not the subject of court proceedings will be considered for addition to the report where:

 

•       they concern subject matter of significant public interest/concern; and/or

•       where their outcome may present significant financial value/impact for Council; and/or

•       where their outcome may set an important precedent for Council.

 

Generally significant non-court matters will only be reported where they are the subject of dispute and management of that dispute is being administered by Legal Services (as opposed to where Legal Services’ involvement is ad-hoc or limited to the provision of internal advice), or where they concern a significant project for Council. The detail reported in respect of each matter listed has been provided with privacy, confidentiality, and legal professional privilege (and the requirement to maintain same) in mind.

 

6.      Current Consultation Matters

 

The following community engagement projects are included on Shape your Ipswich, the digital engagement platform that uses a range of digital techniques to connect with the community and promote consultation events. https://shapeyouripswich.com.au/

 

Engagement data is indicative as consultation period is based on Shape Your Ipswich (SYI) data.

 

Description of metrics used:

 

·    Contributors – The unique number of Visitors who have left feedback or contributions.  Contributors is a unique value, and a Contributor who makes more than one contribution is only counted as a single Contributor.

·    Visitors – Visitors is a unique user. A single visitor may make more than one visit to the site, but it is only counted once.  A Visitor is not necessarily a single person, but rather a single browsing session that stores a user’s technical information.  IP addresses are used to determine unique Visitors.
