Recommendation

 

THAT Councillors call any items that they wish to be debated in Committee of the Whole.

 

General Manager's REPORT

 

Council’s Code of Meeting Practice allows for the Council to resolve itself into “committee of the whole” to avoid the necessity of limiting the number and duration of speeches as required by Clause 250 of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005.

 

This item enables councillors to call any item they wish to be debated in “committee of the whole” at the conclusion of normal business.

 

The debate process during a ‘normal’ Council meeting limits the number and duration of speeches as required by Clause 250 of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005. 

 

Items should only be called at this time if it is expected that discussion beyond the normal debate process is likely to be needed.

File Number

\OFFICIAL RECORDS LIBRARY\INFORMATION MANAGEMENT\RIGHT TO INFORMATION\GOVERNMENT INFORMATION - PUBLIC ACCESS - ACT - GIPA - 838094

 

 

Recommendation

 

THAT Council adopt the annexed draft Agency Information Guide and Proactive Release Program, for the ensuing 12 months and make same available through Council’s website.

 

Administration Manager's REPORT

 

Background

Since 2010 Council has adopted an Agency Information Guide (AIG), previously known as a “publication guide”.

 

The Information Commissioner nominated 31 July each year as the date by which a council must review, adopt and make its AIG available to the public online.

 

What is an Agency Information Guide?

An “agency information guide” is a guide (s20) that:

 

a)      describes the structure and functions of the Council, and

b)      describes the ways in which the functions (including, in particular, the decision-making functions) of the Council affect members of the public, and

c)      specifies any arrangements that exist to enable members of the public to participate in the formulation of the Council’s policy and the exercise of the Council’s functions, and

d)      identifies the various kinds of government information held by the Council, and

e)      identifies the kinds of government information held by the Council that the Council makes (or will make) publicly available, and

f)       specifies the manner in which the Council makes (or will make) government information publicly available, and

g)      identifies the kinds of information that are (or will be) made publicly available free of charge and those kinds for which a charge is (or will be) imposed.

Council must make government information publicly available as provided by its AIG: this is done via Council’s website.

 

The Information Commissioner has more recently issued guidelines (No. 6) relating to best practice for AIGs.

Other than the requirement to review and adopt an AIG annually, the guidelines remind councils of the requirement to: “… notify the Information Commissioner before adopting or amending an AIG and…”.

This is a procedural change.  

The draft AIG was provided to the information Commissioner and has been acknowledged by her.  Council is now allowed to adopt the draft AIG as any comments the Commissioner might wish to make can be incorporated into the next review of the AIG and published at a later date.

What is a Proactive Release Program?

Council is also required under the GIPA Act (s7 (3)) to identify information to be made available by proactive release.  Council adopted its initial Proactive Release Program (PRP) at its June 2010 meeting and then reviewed and adopted it again in August 2011.  In June 2012 Council adopted an amendment following review to its Proactive Release Program which meant that since it has read as follows:

 

1.      Any information formally requested, not requiring third party consultation, where the applicant has indicated that they will be requesting regular updates.

2.      Media releases

3.      Any Information considered to be of interest to the public (not already required to be released).

A copy of Council’s draft Agency Information Guide, which includes the PRP, proposed for the ensuing 12 months (2017/18) is annexed.  It is proposed to specifically add the Gift and Benefits declarations register to the PRP this year.

 

ITEM 10 - COUNCIL'S POLICY REGISTER - ADOPTION OF "RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURE POLICY"

Recommendation

 

THAT the “Street Stall and Raffle Ticket Policy” be amended:

 

a)   to permit the free use of the street stall by the Molong Advancement Group on four separate occasions during 2017/2018 in exchange for their offer to tidy the appearance of the shelter.

b)   to reflect the correct location used in Canowindra.

c)   to reflect the correct day used in Canowindra.

d)   to discontinue the requirement that the use of the Molong Street Stall on Saturday mornings be for raffle ticket sales only.

e)   to permit more than one street stall per week in Molong.

 

 

General Manager's REPORT

 

Council has an existing policy which addresses the criteria for holding street stalls and to conduct raffle ticket selling within the Cabonne LGA.

 

The Molong Advancement Group have approached council with a proposal that they carry out a tidy up of the street stall shelter in Molong in exchange for four street stalls during the year.  The request hasn’t been approved as the current policy only allows organisations to be entitled to one street stall per annum. 

 

Further a review of the policy has uncovered some anomalies between the policy and current practice, for example:

 

1.   Policy states: Council’s preferred sites for holding of funding raising street stall are Canowindra – front of HACC.  Current practice is that the location is in front of the IGA supermarket (business owners approval given).

 

2.   Policy states: Only one street stall is to be held per week unless prior approval is granted under delegated authority by the General Manager for a second stall on a “one-off” basis, provided agreement is reached with the organisation holding existing approval for a street stall during that week.  Current practice is that raffle ticket sales on Saturday mornings do incorporate selling of baked goods thereby constituting a street stall.

 

3.   Policy states: Street stall allocations in Canowindra not be extended to Saturdays.  Current practice is that street stalls are held on Saturday mornings in Canowindra not Fridays. 

 

4.   Policy states: Council advise all groups, when bookings are made for street stalls in Canowindra, and by advertisement in the local newspaper that street stalls in Canowindra are only to be held outside the Cabonne Council joint HACC/Library facility with the condition that Council has the power to vary this arrangement at any time, according to circumstances.  Current practice as per point 1 above.

 

5.   Policy states:  Only one street stall is to be held per week.  Current practice is that a purpose built stall exists in Molong and is used more frequently.

Recommendation

 

THAT Council donate $3,000 towards the costs of rezoning the Gumble Hall to be funded from the Community Facilitation Fund.

 

 

General Manager's REPORT

 

Council considered a report in October 2016 regarding the request to rezone land on behalf of Gumble Hall Incorporated to amend the Cabonne LEP and prepare a Planning Proposal to list the hall as a heritage item.  Part of the report advised that the request for preparation of a Planning Proposal appeared to require council to facilitate the process and absorb the costs as part of its strategic planning function and that in facilitating the matter council would also forgo the $3,000 fee established in its annual fees and charges for submission of a rezoning application.

 

At the time Council did not formally resolve to contribute the $3,000 and council has now received a formal request for assistance by Gumble Hall Incorporated.

 

Should council agree to the request, the money could be funded from the Community Facilitation Fund.

 

ITEM 15 - REQUESTS FOR DONATIONS

Community Services Manager's REPORT

 

Fundraiser Nyki Roots

Molong RSL Snooker Club held a fundraising day on the Saturday 24th June to raise funds to assist Nyki Roots in recovering from her injuries. As Councillors may be aware Nyki is a young lady from Molong who was injured in a motor vehicle on the 8 April 2017 just out of Molong. Nyki will be requiring long term assistance and therapy from injuries sustained in the accident.

 

Nyki has been unable to work since the accident and faces a long period of recovery and rehabilitation.

 

It is considered worthwhile to support this fundraiser with a donation of $250.

 

Mural at Canowindra Skate Park

Students addressing Council’s May meeting suggested the painting of a mural on the shelter at Canowindra Skate Park.

 

Since then a proposal has been received from Melissa Gersbach from Canowindra who would like to work with students to paint a mural on the shelter.

 

Melissa has previously worked with students from Cudal Public School to paint a mural there and her artwork is appreciated by the community.

 

Her letter includes a budget of $2,200 for the materials and labour.

 

The Country Arts Support Program (CASP) is a potential funding source for this project with grant applications closing on the 27 July 2017.

 

It is proposed that Council staff work with Melissa and the students to complete a CASP grant application and that Council make a contribution of $500 towards the mural from the remainder of the s.356 budget for this year.

 

Mullion Creek Progress Association

Mullion Creek Progress Association manage the community hall and recreation area at Mullion Creek and are enthusiastic about constructing a children’s playground near the tennis courts.

 

Council has provided children’s playgrounds in numerous other locations in Cabonne and it is proposed that the unspent balance of the s.356 budget be donated to the Progress Association to go towards the purchase of play equipment.

 

If the other recommended donations are made the balance will be approximately $1,050.

 

Donations made so far this financial year are listed below.

 

$300          Cumnock Progress Association Website

$500          Cudal Public School P&C robotics program

Community Services Manager's REPORT

Young people from Canowindra High School, Yeoval Central School and Molong Central School addressed Council’s May meeting on matters that are important to them.

This report has been jointly prepared by the Engineering and Technical Services section and the Community Services Manager.

The matters raised by students are listed below together with notes on possible actions.

Canowindra High 

Students – School Captains; Jo Balcombe and Ciaran Etty

Thanked for Council Support for Youth Week Event

Suggestions;

·    More footpaths in streets near the school.

To be programmed as per recommendations from the PAMP and recommended to be included for consideration in the Village Enhancement Program.

 

·    Would like to paint a mural on wall of shed at rear of Canowindra Skate park.

Refer to donations report.

 

·    Would like drinking water at skate park

Part of the Drinking Water Program.  A report went to March Council meeting with the recommendation:

 

THAT Council

1.    Agree to the replacement of drinking water bubblers at Molong, Canowindra and Manildra at a cost of $3,800 per bubbler;

2.    Install an additional water bubbler at the Skate Park precinct at Canowindra; and

3.    Contact Central Tablelands Water to share the cost of replacement bubblers and the additional bubbler at Canowindra.

 

·    Would like to have more gardens in public places

To be included for consideration in the Village Enhancement Program

 

·    Public Toilet at Morris Park is too dark – needs lighting or skylights

To be included for consideration in the Village Enhancement Program

 

·    Blue Jacket lookout is run down – needs better facilities at the top and landscaping of approaches.

·    To be included for consideration in the Village Enhancement Program

Yeoval Central School

Student – Captain; Blake Cameron

Thanked Council for working with school in improving seating around the oval and providing improved amenities and goal posts.

Suggestions;

Would like a skate park at Yeoval

·    Would keep young people off roads

·    Provide a focus for activities

·    Has a couple of locations in mind and thinks a portable set of ramps would work if not enough money for a permanent fixture.

·    Young people in the area would work towards raising funds.

 

Sites and costings need to be investigated and a report will go to July 2017 Council meeting.

Community should set up a committee and start looking at different funding avenues. 

 

Molong Central School

Students – Captains; Tieke Thomas and Brooke Watts

Have consulted with their peers

Suggestions;

·    More reliable Wi-Fi at Molong Library

Issue to be referred to Central West Libraries for investigation.

 

·    A study area in the new library for Molong including individual and collaborative learning spaces.

Could be incorporated in planning for new library

 

·    Longer opening hours at the library – especially after school each day.

Seek comment from Central West Libraries.

 

·    A canteen area at Molong pony club – this would enable them to better host regional equestrian events

Noted – not a council asset.

 

·    The public toilets at Cudal are run down. Doors not shutting / locking properly in ladies and too dark and gloomy.

This is included to be done as part of Council’s maintenance program, upgrade to be considered as part of Village Enhancement Program.

 

·    Needs more walking pathways around town at Cudal.

To be programmed as per recommendations from the PAMP and  to be considered for funding from the Village Enhancement Program.

 

·    Exercise machines are good in the walking paths at Molong but areas around them need to be better kept (long grass around them) and machines maintained. More exercise machines would be great.

This is included to be done as part of Council’s maintenance program and more machines to be considered as part of the Village Enhancement Program.

 

·    Would like Blue light Discos or similar to recommence.

Councillor Treavors following up with student bodies.

 

·    Would like movie nights in the community hall.

Noted.  Council supports the promotion of the Amusu theatre at Manildra for movie screenings.

 

The suggestions from students were thoughtful and action can be taken on many of them as indicated above.  Some suggestions are already covered by Council’s budget allocations or are being implemented already. Other suggestions will require a budget allocation in 2018 if they are to progress.

Recommendation

 

THAT Council approve funding of $2,400 under the 2016/2017 Events Assistance Program (EAP) to Molong Bowling Club for the David Wicks Memorial Tournament in Molong.

 

Acting Economic Development Manager's REPORT

 

Council has received one application for funding under its 20016-17 Events Assistance Program (EAP) for an event to promote Molong and attract approximately 200 people to compete in a two-day bowls tournament.

 

Council’s Community Development and Tourism Coordinator has provided the following assessment:

 

Application 1.

 

Organisation:                               Molong Bowling Club Ltd

Event:                                             David Wicks Memorial Tournament

Date:                                               23 & 24 September 2017

Requested amount:                    $2,500

Reason for funding:                             A contribution towards offsetting the marketing, promotion and event management commitments.

 

Event Description:

 

Molong Bowling Club Inc. is holding a bowls pairs tournament over two days in September at the Molong Bowling Club. The tournament will be widely promoted throughout New South Wales and within the Central West. The organisers estimate the event will attract more than 50 bowlers and with their accompanying families, this will potentially bring an additional 150-200 people into Molong.   

 

The David Wicks Memorial Tournament will take place over the weekend of the 23-24 September and provides a great opportunity for visitors to enjoy the Molong charm and help to increase the local visitor economy.

 

The Molong Bowls Tournament will showcase Molong and the surrounding area to the many visitors and will help to attract interest and potential repeat visitors due to their memorable experience.

 

The event will raise the profile and awareness of Molong, our many attractions and this ultimately will lead to an increase in visitors, improved accommodation demand and economic benefits to the Cabonne shire.

 

The Molong Bowls Tournament was held previously in 2016 and was very successful.

 

Cabonne Council’s logo will be included on all marketing and promotional material distributed prior to the event. Cabonne Council’s community support will also be promoted throughout the tournament and during the presentation ceremony.

 

As there will be many visitors from outside the region, this event presents an opportunity to place Cabonne Council banners and the Towns and Villages Guide at the bowling club to highlight the Shire’s many attractions.

 

Assessment

 

This application meets the event assistance funding program objectives of a developing event. Its aim is to attract visitation to the area and support a number of Cabonne enterprises.

Recommendation

 

THAT $30,000 for the additional repair work on the Cudal Hall be approved and funded from Council’s Infrastructure Replacement Reserves fund.

 

Acting Director of Engineering & Technical Services' REPORT

Council is currently undertaking a major refurbishment of the Cudal Hall. This project is part of Council’s Capital Works Program that is being managed by the NSW Public Works on behalf of council. The work is being carried out by the Brownrite Building Group.

The project primarily involves the replacement of the wall cladding of the structure and the inclusion of a new roof. The total cost of the project was estimated at $160,028.

During the course of the project, the external cladding was removed from the front or southern façade, and it was revealed that significant wood rot and insect infestation of the existing building timber had occurred, and that it had seriously affected the structural integrity of the building’s framework at that location.

The damage to the framework and the supporting column on the south east corner would compromise the installation of the new cladding, and necessitated a detailed inspection of the exposed frame work and its supporting columns.

Following the inspection, Council requested a quotation from the Brownrite Building Group for the repair of the damaged section of the building. A quotation for the amount of $23,276 (ex GST) was received to undertake the repairs. The quotation was assessed by the NSW Public Works and is considered to be a fair price for the work and have recommended it for consideration. Council staff have also undertaken a similar assessment of the quote and agree that it is a fair price.

To complete the project an additional $30,000 is required to be funded from the Infrastructure Replacement Reserve fund. These funds will cover Council’s on-costs and contractor costs.

RATING SUMMARY

2017/2018

 

 

OVERVIEW

                                                     

The following pages contain details of Council's Rates and Charges.

 

1) The Rating Structure to Apply For 2017/2018

 

Council’s General Rate Categories and Sub-Categories are as follows:

 

¨  Farmland

¨  Residential

¨  Residential - Canowindra Town

¨  Mining

¨  Business

¨  Business - Molong Town

¨  Business - Canowindra Town

 

2) Rating Categories

 

Council wishes to take this opportunity to advise ratepayers that the categorisation of land for rating purposes was not a decision made by Council, but rather is a legal requirement on Council contained in the Local Government Act 1993.

In accordance with the Act Council MUST categorise land into one of four categories, those being farmland, residential, business or mining (see definitions following).

 

As well as this, the definition for each of the categories is contained in the Local Government Act and Council MUST use that definition to determine the category.

 

Things that may seem “logical” as far as the categories are concerned (e.g. as rural for Advance Energy accounts should be classed as rural or farmland for rating purposes) are not necessarily relevant to classification for rating purposes under the Act - only the definition contained in the Act must be used.

 

3) Definitions of Rating Categories From The Act

 

Farmland

 

515.

 

(1)   Land is to be categorised as Farmland if it is a parcel of rateable land valued as one assessment and its dominant use is for farming (that is, the business or industry of grazing, animal feedlots, dairying, pig-farming, poultry farming, viticulture, orcharding, bee-keeping, horticulture, vegetable growing, the growing of crops of any kind, forestry or aquaculture (within the meaning of the Fisheries Management Act 1994) or any combination of those businesses or industries) which:

 

a)   has a significant and substantial commercial purpose or character; and

 

b)   is engaged in for the purpose of profit on a continuous or repetitive basis (whether or not a profit is actually made).

 

(2)   Land is not to be categorised as farmland if it is rural residential land.

 

(3)   The regulations may prescribe circumstances in which land is or is not to be categorized as farmland.

 

Residential

 

516.

 

(1)   Land is to be categorized as Residential if it is a parcel of rateable land valued as one assessment and:

 

a)   its dominant use is for residential accommodation, (otherwise than as a hotel, motel, guest-house, backpacker hostel or nursing home or any other form of residential accommodation - (not being a boarding house or a lodging house) prescribed by the regulations); or

 

b)   in the case of vacant land, it is zoned or otherwise designated for use under an environmental planning instrument (with or without development consent) for residential purposes; or

 

c)   it is rural residential land.

 

(2)   The regulations may prescribe circumstances in which land is or is not to be categorised as residential.

Mining

 

517.

 

(1)   Land is to be categorised as Mining if it is a parcel of rateable land valued as one assessment and its dominant use if for a coal mine or metalliferous mine.

General Manager's REPORT

 

With the upcoming local government elections in 9 September 2017, the Office of Local Government (OLG) have issued the following advice of the obligations of council officials in relation to the use of council resources and the potential for council publications to be considered ‘electoral material’.

 

·    Council officials (including Administrators) must not use council resources, property (including intellectual property), and facilities for the purposes of assisting their election campaign or the election campaign of others unless the use is lawfully authorised and proper payment is made where appropriate.

 

·    In the 40 days preceding the election, councils (including councils currently under Administration) need to consider whether their publications could amount to an “electoral matter”.

 

·    Council officials (including Administrators) must use council resources lawfully, ethically, effectively and carefully keeping in mind the council’s code of conduct and other policies such as the policy on the payment of expenses and the provision of facilities to mayors and councillors.

 

·    “Electoral matter” for the purposes of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 broadly includes any matter that is intended or likely to affect voting in an election. The name, photograph and likeness of a candidate fall within the definition of “electoral matter”.

 

·    Council publications that promote the achievements of the council may also potentially fall within the definition of “electoral matter”.

 

Key points

 

·    Under the Model Code of Conduct, the following must not be used for the purpose of assisting anyone’s election campaign:

 

o council resources, property or facilities (unless the resources, property or facilities are otherwise available for use or hire by the public and any publicly advertised fee is paid for use of the resources, property or facility); and

o council letterhead, council crests and other information that could give the appearance it is official council material.

 

·    Breaches of a council’s code of conduct may result in disciplinary action.

 

·    Councils and council officials (including Administrators) should be mindful of the need to maintain community confidence in the integrity of the performance of the council's functions and activities in the lead-up to elections. Councils (including those currently under administration) should be mindful of how the community may perceive any of their activities or actions during this time.

 

Council staff have also been made aware of these obligations.

General Manager's REPORT

 

Clause 393B of the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005 limits councils’ ability to exercise some of their functions in the four weeks preceding the date of a local government election (the caretaker period).

 

Councils are expected to assume a “caretaker” role during election periods to ensure that major decisions are not made which would limit the actions of an incoming council.

 

·    Councils, the general manager or any other delegate of the council (other than a Joint Regional Planning Panel or the Central Sydney Planning Committee) must not exercise the following functions during the caretaker period:

 

o Entering into any contract or undertaking involving an expenditure or receipt by the council of an amount equal to or greater than $150,000 or 1% of the council’s revenue from rates in the preceding financial year (whichever is the larger);

 

o Determining a “controversial development application”, except where a failure to make such a determination would give rise to a deemed refusal, or such a deemed refusal arose before the commencement of the caretaker period;

 

·    Appointing or reappointing the council’s general manager (except for temporary appointments).

 

·    In certain circumstances, these functions may be exercised with the approval of the Minister.

 

Key points

 

·    “Controversial development application” means a development application under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 for which at least 25 persons have made submissions under section 79(5) of that Act by way of objection.

 

·    The caretaker period for the September 2017 local government elections commences on Friday 11 August 2017 and ends on Saturday 9 September 2017.

 

Council staff have also been made aware of these obligations

IPR Linkage

3.2.2.a - Promote HACC services within Cabonne

Annexures

File Number

\OFFICIAL RECORDS LIBRARY\COMMUNITY SERVICES\GRANTS AND FUNDING\COMMUNITY TRANSPORT - 838852

 

Community Services Manager's REPORT

From the recent Australian 2017 Budget Council has been advised funding arrangements for the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) have been extended until 30 June 2020 to provide certainty to the sector and pave the way for further home care reform.  This funding will support Council’s HACC Service and Community Transport Service for the next three years.

Council’s HACC Service receives over $261,000 per annum to provide a range of services for the frail elderly in Cabonne that includes meal deliveries, social opportunities, neighbour aid services and minor home maintenance support.

With the change of the funding from HACC to the CHSP Council’s HACC service will need to rename and several options are being considered for this.

The funding for community transport will support volunteer drivers transporting frail elderly people to appointments and to access services and recreational opportunities.

Both these services make a big difference to people’s lives and enhances the ability of older people to live independently in the community and it is pleasing that the funding of these will be available for the next three years.

Acting Director of Engineering & Technical Services' REPORT

Council operates seven swimming pools in its towns and villages through the Cabonne Local Government Area.   These facilities are located at Cudal, Manildra, Eugowra, Cumnock, Yeoval, Molong and Canowindra. 

The swimming pools operated by Council are classified as Category 4 in the Office of Local Government Water Safety Practice Note 15 (2012).   A Category 4 swimming pool is a facility that has one or two bodies of water with a medium to low patronage.   This Category 4 reclassification required a change to Council’s Management and Supervision Policy that was reported to Council in February 2017. 

As a result of this policy change, Council staff worked with staffing companies and s355 Committees to recruit, induct and then coordinate, with pool supervisors, approximately 12 qualified lifeguards.      Fortunately, a number of local residents, mostly older school children, had qualifications and were available during the school holiday period.        Additionally, Council provided free training to 11 interested residents that were also available for lifeguard duties.    Council was able to keep all the swimming pools open throughout the season, with only minimal closures at Eugowra on one occasion and Manildra for a short period of time due to unforeseen circumstances. 

On 8 March 2017, a workshop was held to discuss the future management of pools.   The workshop was attended by members of s355 Pool Committees from Cudal, Manildra, Cumnock, Eugowra and Yeoval, Mr Graham Jeffries leasee of Molong Pool, the Mayor and several staff members from Cabonne Council. 

Council confirmed that the swimming pools were important to the communities of Cabonne, and as such need to remain open but to operate in a safe and effective way, and that the current position of Council is that the s355 Committee structure remain as the preferred option. 

In preparation for the 2017–2018 swimming season, Council has commenced engagement of an appropriate number of casual staff to undertake the duties of lifeguards at the swimming pools.   Contact has been made with the same staffing company as last season to assist in this recruitment.   Again, Council will advertise the free training program for lifeguards in a similar way as last year.   Several lifeguards from last year have expressed an interest to be included in the forthcoming swimming season.

I provide the following report for Council’s information, along with the meeting minutes.

Transport Infrastructure – Cr Ken Keith, Portfolio Mayor, updated the Board on the recent Strategic Roads Group meeting, which will now be called the Centroc Transport Group. The recent Federal Government announcement of Inland Rail is a great opportunity for this region and work will be undertaken to optimise outcomes for our communities leveraging this new transport link.

The issue of the Bells Line was raised with further advocacy to be undertaken.

Water Security  -Cr D Somervaille, Portfolio Chair updated the Board on the advocacy currently taking place in the portfolio, including the Visit to the Region from the Chair of General Purpose Standing Committee No 5, the Hon Robert Brown for the Inquiry into the augmentation of water storages.

A meeting held with Minister Niall Blair the day before regarding the Lachlan Valley water security project- Phase 2 Progress and the lack of consulting and the NSW DPI water regulatory framework that has seen escalating costs for Councils as they attempt to resource navigating the increasing complexity of the compliance framework for Best Practice that is not called up under any legislation.

Health –A proforma report has been provided to Members involved in the Beyond the range program. The report recommended that it continue to engagement with the Beyond the Range social media Facebook posts, participate in a free social media workshop that will be arranged soon and provide feedback to Centroc on value of the program in February 2018.

A meeting with the Rural Doctor’s Network is being co-ordinated, to discuss the progressing of a methodology on the economic and social impacts.

Newly announced Parliamentary Secretary for Regional and Rural Health, Mrs Leslie Williams, MP has been sent correspondence in the above regard. Follow up is underway.

The Murray Darling Medical School was not in the Federal Budget for next year. Further advocacy work at the request of Member for Calare, Mr Andrew Gee will be undertaken.

Regional Development – A submission was lodged to the operation, effectiveness, and consequences of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability (Location of Corporate Commonwealth Entities) Order 2016.

 

The revised MOU between Centroc and RDACW the only one that exists in Australia was signed and witnesses by the Hon. John Barilaro, Deputy Premier, Minister for Regional NSW, Minister for Skills and Small Business.

 

 

Substantial work across the regional has been undertaken with the Review of the Regional Infrastructure, Co-ordinator Ken Gillespie and Executive Officer Don Murray. 

 

Planning – the Chair and EO met with the Minister for Local Government on the 6th of April to seek progression of the Joint Organisations, from this meeting Centroc was asked to provide a brief on the JO reform to inform Ministerial deliberations. This was raised with the Minister for Local Government at the Board meeting, where the Minister committed to providing direction on Joint Organisations within a fortnight.

 

Cr Scott Ferguson, Mayor of Blayney raised the concern members have with being unfit due to scale and capacity as a legacy arrangement of the abandoned amalgamations. The Minister undertook to have this resolved soon.

 

Tourism – Advice from CNSWT, states it will wind up CNSWT and are seeking Centrocs support for the regional function.

 

The Centroc Board has agreed to support the function of Tourism in line with the report provided by Central NSW Tourism. A meeting of Tourism Managers is being arranged to give consideration to the next steps and Council will receive a report in due course.

 

Operational – Energy is being a focus in the Operational space lately particularly the electricity market, which was reported at the Energy meeting held 5 may that the current electricity market prices have increased by 200-300%.

 

Negations with the Southern NSW ROCS for the roll out of LED Streetlighting and smart controls still continue. A one page advocacy brief has been developed with a more developed business case to be circulated to members in due course.

 

The Institute of Sustainable futures has undertaken an analysis of Local trading options for Centroc Councils. Using Bathurst and Forbes as the examples. A final report will be presented soon.

 

Membership Fees and approval of the Centroc Budget – seven fee options were presented to the Board for the 2017/2018 membership fee structure. The Board resolved to adopt a business as usual model.

 

Financial – the anticipated loss for 30 June 2017 is $29,369 against a budgeted loss of $697. This is due to Mid Western Regional Council no longer being a member.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think you would agree the visit to Parliament house and the engagement with State Ministers was very successful this year. 

 

There is a lot of valuable regional collaborative activity going on and Centroc members should be congratulated for their ongoing ability to work together for better outcomes for the region. 

 

I commend this report to you for noting.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Mayoral Report from the Centroc Board Meeting 25 May 2017 at Parliament House be noted.

Item 11 - Annexure 1

 

 

 

2017 STATE MASTERS ROAD CHAMPIONSHIPS

ORANGE /MOLONG

22 – 24 April

 

EVENT REVIEW

 

 

 

 

Introduction

 

The NSW Masters Road Championships is one of Cycling NSW’s premier events.   The event was held over three days, 22nd – 24th April 2017 across the three disciplines which comprise the Championships, Road Race, Criterium, Time Trial.   

 

Given the nature of the courses required to hold the disciplines on, it was essential to operate across both Local Government Areas (LGA’s) of Orange City Council and Carbonne Municiple Council.  As in previous years Carbonne hosted the Road Race out of Molong township, with the Criteriums and Time Trail held within the Orange City Council LGA.

 

The event was staged and managed by Cycling NSW with operational assistance from the Orange Cycle Club (OCC).   The experience of hosting the inagural event in 2016 was invaluable for OCC, with all logistics being extremely smooth and efficient.

 

The competitor numbers for this year’s event were down on the previous year with 340 competitors, realising 602 entries across the three disciplines.  This still placed the 2017 edition of the Championships as one of the most highly patronised ever.  Further, the event remained extremely successful with high levels of competitor and spectator satisfaction, worthy championships winners and a significant influx of visitors to the region specifically based on their involvemnet in the event.    Interestingly the numbers remaining for the third day, the Time Trial were similar to 2016, indicating strong retention in visting riders and associated economic benefit.

 

 

Competitor Demographics

 

There was a total of 340 competitors over the weekend represented by entries in the following disciplines:

 

Road Race:          279 entries

Criterium:  199 entries

Time Trial:  124 entries

Total entries:      602 entries

 

Additonally there were over 20 race officials who travelled to the region to conduct the event (additonal to those from the LGA).   Further, given the demographic of competitors a significant number travelled with non riding partners.  Assuming over half of the competitors bought with them a non-riding partner/other family & friends, this provides for in excess of 550 persons associated with the event.

 

Given limited accommodation options in Molong, most overnight stays occurred in the Orange LGA.  This was supported by post event activities occurring at the Hotel Canobolis, which incldued the pre event registration non the Friday night prior, with three quarters of the entrants present.  We would estimate on a twin share basis over 250 room nights (twin realised for the duration of the event.  Anecdotally, a number of entrants arrived in the area in the week leading into the event, some staying beyond the event.

 

Whilst Molong had limited over-night stays, competitors were active within the township and there was considerable daily spend occurring at the various retail/food outlets.

Event Logistics/Operations

From an Operations perspective the event ran extremely smoothly.  The assistance of support staff from both LGA’s was extremely helpful across both event and roads/traffic staff.   

Traffic Plans were approved by Traffic Committees from both councils and were revised following review of the 2016 event.  These resulted in:

I.    Change to the finish line for the road race.  This was positioned closer to the Molong Township and created greater connectedness between the registration village and finish area, as well as a more favourable finishing aesthetic.

 

II.   Minor changes to the criterium course road closure treatment, thus allowing legal turning into the precinct by competitor vehicles (note the closure of the Norther Distributor was helpful in reduction of traffic flows in the area generally.

 

III.  A revised Time Trial Course which became an out and back course, an eliminating use of the more busy Forest Road.  This was an infinitely safer course for competitors

 

At this stage there are no revisions envisioned for the 2018 event given the success of these routes and venues.

There were some minor complaints by residents on the Time Trial course, however through liaison with the Traffic Management Contractor (MTM) and the Race Director, we were able to allow resident only access to allow people to return home/leave their properties.  There were no issues with access to the airport or other key sites.

MTM were again extremely professional and through in their approach, and we would envision utilising their services again.

 

Future Events

Cycling NSW has signed a 3 year arrangement with Orange City Council and an agreement in principle with Carbonne Council for 2018.  We look forward to meeting with Council representatives to plan the 2018 Championships which will soon be tentatively scheduled.

Natural Disaster

On the 26 August 2016 the NSW Department of Justice declared the Notice of Natural Disaster.  This was for the NSW Inland Storms and Floods event of 20 July 2016. 

On the 27 September 2016 the NSW Department of Justice declared the second Notice of Natural Disaster.  This was for the NSW Inland storms and floods 30 August 2016.

As a generalisation over the Cabonne road network, the damage has been variable. The most significant impact has been on the state road network, resulting from the increase of heavy vehicles, due to the closure of the Newell Highway and the necessity to re-route the traffic from Cowra to Cudal, Cudal to Parkes and Cudal to Molong. The RMS have indicated that they would fund the repair work sustained due to the increase of traffic. This work has been completed 7th December 2016 and monies claimed.

On other sections of the network, Council staff have gathered and recorded data relating to road and asset damage due to the flood events. This data has been collated, costed and assessed by RMS.  Final inspections with RMS have been undertaken and both RMS and Council have approved the final cost.

The following notes apply to site visits and requests for advice - The intention is that the notes are passed to the Property Owner/Enquirer/DA Applicant:

 

           

 

1.      DA2017/178 Restoration of Quinns Stables

 

Significance: the site is listed on the Cabonne Shire LEP as a heritage lace.

 

Extensive consultation has been undertaken with the parties in attempts to save this rare and historic structure from demolition while protecting both properties. This has not been successful due to a shortage of funds. Currently Anton Lynar Engineer has proposed demolition of elements of the structure in order that the threat to the adjoining property can be managed.

 

A DA has been submitted by the adjoining owner, the Molong Early Learning Centre for demolition of parts of the heritage building.

•     The Statement of environmental effects with the DA emphasises the benefits to the ELC of removing parts of the building. 

•     The Statement does not address the loss of heritage value. 

•     The Molong & District Historical Society has not been consulted over the heritage value. 

•     No mitigation works are proposed to off-set the demolition.

•     The works are titled restoration in the DA submission when they appear to be demolition.

•     There is no drawn scope of works and the Lynar drawings show the existing structures only.

•     The drawings do not indicate where the materials are to be stored on site for the future re-construction

 

The following additional information is requested from the Applicant in order that a full assessment can be made and an approval provided for appropriate works – sufficient to meet the requirements of the ELC and no more than that in order that the impact of loss in heritage value is minimised.

 

•     A professional photographic record is to be made of the structure prior to works commencing. This is standard condition with demolitions of heritage places and will assist in the future reinstatement of the stonework and roof. Contact James Nicholson Architect in Orange or others;

•     Anton Lynar to provide modified drawings to clearly show the scope of the proposed demolition, materials storage and mitigation works to safeguard the remnants;

•     Anton Lynar will be required to attend the site during the work to ensure the works are completed in accordance with the scope and that any variations are necessary after consideration of all reasonable options.

The following information has been prepared by Council’s Heritage Advisor and is intended as advice provided in good faith to the property owner.

 

One of the standard duties for Heritage Advisors under the guidelines provided by the NSW Heritage Office is to liaise with, and assist, owners and developers of heritage listed sites for achieving the best heritage outcomes.

 

It appears that the Church building, listed on the Cabonne Shire LEP, is not currently used on a regular basis and condition of the building has deteriorated. This is a common occurrence and one that Council deals with on a regular basis. It is of concern to the community and the owner that should the rate of decay not be slowed or reversed then the value of the asset and the heritage significance could be substantially reduced.

 

The following report details the issues and provides a range of actions which could enhance the significance and reduce the rate of decay. Generally, owners of listed properties are eligible for small grants from Council to assist with these works.

 

We therefore encourage the Diocese to review the issues raised and make contact with Kate Blackwood at Council. Kate will be able to arrange a meeting to discuss the issues and

options for making further progress to help keep the site in good shape.

Figure 5      The missing cross leaves the two barge roll flashings open and water can affect the roof and barge boards

 

Figure 6      A missing barge roll flashing has allowed water to run off and damage the barge board end

 

Figure 7      The internal corner is not draining to the downpipe and overflows are damaging the brickwork and foundation. Refer the following image.

 

Figure 8 The solution is an extra downpipe in this area with the water carried 4m clear.

 

Figure 9      General foundation movement leads to shrinkage and expansion/heave cracking. The initial solution is a 1200mm wide gravel perimeter apron

 

Figure 10     While the roof sheeting looks fine, many fixings are raised and the end laps have opened allowing wind blown rain to enter the roof space.

 

 

Figure 11     Downpipes and the gravel apron with water taken clear of the building are required.

3.      DA2017/150 Spring Hill Church Fence

 

Significance

A listed heritage building, the site includes two major buildings on a substantial site. 

 

Proposal

 

•     Remove existing front fence;

•     Install Hi-lo powder coated fence panels 900mm high and existing gate

•     Install new charcoal coloured concrete mowing strip;

•     Fence appears to be nominally 60m in length with existing pipe fence and 3600mm wide gate to remain

 

Previous advice recommended two alternatives to a steel fence.

A powder coated steel fence of this type is not supported as this type of product detracts from the heritage significance of the church. 

 

It detracts from the site and buildings by providing a modern steel fence which imitates a styled fence not used on buildings of this type or period. The fleur-de-leys motif is a highly decorative element used on the hi-lo fence palisade. The alternate hi-lo palisade is not characteristic of fences on sites of this type or period although it is appreciated why it may be considered similar to the gothic influence This element is not evident on the building.

 

When selecting a replacement fence for such a church a simpler style of fence is recommended so that all the visual attention remains on the church and not on the modern fence.

 

No alternatives have been presented to Council or discussed in the DA, as options with pros and cons and reasons for the preferred option being selected.

 

Other fence options have been reviewed previously and include cast iron, a simpler welded steel version of the current proposal and the timber picket. While the cost of the fence and the long term maintenance are important factors to consider they should not be the sole or determining factor. Council has offered a contribution towards the cost.

 

The Heritage Advisor would usually review early photographs to see what the original or early builders provided for the site. It is recommended that the Church community provide copies of early photos as it is understood these are available in locally available reference material.

 

Cook Park in Orange has a simple weldmesh fence now concealed by hedging. This option relies upon the Church community supporting and maintaining the planting to the point where it conceals the fence and then at reasonable height. While this is genuine work it is well worth the effort and most groups are capable of this level of maintenance noting that the site includes a large area of grass which requires regular mowing. Options to reduce this level of expensive maintenance and work would be worth exploring such as replacing areas of grass not required for access with planting.

 

A preferred and more practical option is to limit the new fence to the length in front of the heritage buildings. 

 

A quality 30m fence could be provided just in front of the church and then a less expensive standard rural fence used for the remaining 30m. 

 

Council is required to assess the heritage impact of proposals on the heritage significance. Where an option is proposed which could detract, as in this case, Council needs to be assured that there are no other reasonable options.

 

4.     Vinnies Tiles (and the next door premises), Bank Street, Molong

 

Significance

The site is in the Bank Street Conservation Area

 

Issues

Vehicle damage has caused the loss of tiles and timber surrounds to two premises.

 

General view indicating the damaged timber facing to the shopfront on the left and the damaged tiling and brickwork to the shop on the right. There is also minor damage to the shopfront framing at the bottom.

 

Damage to the Vinnies wall on both the tiles and the brickwork, noting the vertical movement.

 

Close view of the two damaged areas. Noting the line of the extended vertical crack indicates that the wall may have been moved internally.

 

The particular mottled cream tiles was widely used in the 1930s on shops and Hotels.

It is recommended that contact be made with the suppliers and photos sent via email to see what matches can be made

 

Options:

•     Counting from the left to the right, the four columns of the tiles are sound with no damage. Tiles in the three columns on the right have suffered damage. While the damage is generally in two rows, it may be possible to remove and save tiles and use these to patch the damaged ones in the third column.

•     Removing all the tiles to provide a uniform appearance would sacrifice an area of sound original tiles. The preferred option is to locate matching tiles to re-finish the damaged area to the right. If this is not possible warren Moorfoot can make matching tiles

•     It is recommended that both shopfronts are to be restored to match the earlier condition as near as is reasonably possible.

A builder needs to quote on full restoration works to both premises. An engineers report may be required given the extent of damage to the brickwork.

5.      Village Square, Bank Street, Molong

 

Attention: The Acting GM, Heather and Kate

 

Significance

A prominent corner site located within the Conservation Area

 

Proposal

An existing war memorial has been damaged and demolished

A proposal for modifications to the memorial with an additional structure in the style of a Cenotaph has been coincidentally been submitted. It is required for coming remembrance events.

 

This documentation has been returned to the applicant requiring further information in the form of issues relating to a Plan of Management. Preparation of Plans of Management is standard practice for contested public spaces and are intended to coordinate and guide use and design of these important and valued public places. They are requested for places and also for heritage issues where that applies, which it does in this case.

 

The following two photos illustrate the current situation.

 

A view from Bank Street looking towards the rotunda structure with the rocks to the right and the tiled concrete slab in the foreground.

 

 

A view of the remaining base. The base is a concrete slab which has been finished with cream bathroom floor tiles and a chrome quad surround. A granite plinth remains with open dowel points which supported an upper panel. In the distance can be seen another smaller memorial consisting of large sculpted rocks, a flagpole and small engraved plaque.

 

Issues

It is of concern to the Heritage Advisor that the public space at the Village Green has been lost to various projects over the last decade. 

 

While each project may have been justified on a case by case basis, the net result is that the space has become fragmented and lost its integrity. The generally accepted principle of a public space is that structures and planting is provided around the perimeter and green lawn is at the centre to allow and support gathering and activities.

 

The origins of this principle can be seen with the Coach building providing the background and pathway to the rear and the pergola and pathway to the left side. This leaves the two street sides as open to public viewing and access from the footpath

 

A Plan of management would be a good vehicle to consult widely and a chance for Council to reach agreement on a long term plan for the Village Green space plus long term plans for activities and objects which could be located in other suitable public venues, parks and gardens in the town centre.

 

A master plan could then proceed for the relevant public places.

 

In the short term it is recommended that a temporary structure be considered by the Sub branch and that the sub-branch support and participate in the planning process.

 

The current location of the memorial base detracts from the historic character of the village green and an alternate location would better protect the space and serve the uses of the memorial.

 

The current concrete slab and tiled base detracts from the character of the village green and further investment in restoring the structure and adding additional cenotaph type elements would not be supported until this had been widely canvased and agreed as the preferred solution.
