General Manager 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.

THAT Council provide in principle support for Central NSW Joint Organisation in seeking funding to progress the replacement of Council’s existing street lights with smart-enabled LED lighting.
|
General Manager's REPORT
Background
As a member of the Central NSW Joint Organisation (CNSWJO), Council has been party to a collaboration across Southern NSW called Southern Lights. Southern Lights is an ambitious project that aims to replace over 75,000 street lights across southern NSW with smart enabled LED lighting. Stretching from Bega to Broken Hill the project encompasses 41 LGAs and will service a population of over one million people. Attached is an information flyer on the project or more information can be found at www.southernlightsnsw.org.au
The Southern Lights Group of Councils (the Group) represented by Riverina Eastern Regional Organisation of Councils (REROC), the Riverina and Murray Joint Organisation (RAMJO), Central NSW Joint Organisation (CNSWJO), Canberra Region Joint Organisation (CRJO), Broken Hill City Council (who are part of the Far West JO) and a highly experienced and qualified consultant, Next Energy, has worked closely with Essential Energy to prepare a robust Southern Lights Business Case.
This Business Case was provided to the NSW Government in October 2018, with the aim of securing $61.4 million in funding towards the total $71.2 million cost of deployment. The Southern Lights Group are hopeful that the project would meet the criteria for funding through Snowy Hydro 2.0 Legacy Funding.
The Councils of Southern Lights have co-contributed to the development of a business case for every street light across their combined footprint. For CNSWJO member councils, a total of $59,000 has been expended from Centroc reserves for the development of the business case. The funding has been used primarily for specialist consulting services to develop the business case.
Councils across the Southern Lights footprint have strongly indicated their support for smart-enabled LED lighting to be deployed, not just for the savings that it will generate through reduced energy and maintenance costs but also because it will provide enabling infrastructure capable of supporting smart community technologies.
It is anticipated that once commenced, the project will take 2-3 years to roll out. The Southern Lights Group is currently working with Essential Energy on a possible schedule for the rollout, taking into account issues such as the Bulk Lamp Replacement (BLR) timetabling and Council budgeting regimes.
Benefits of the Project
The benefits of the Southern Lights Project are:
· Improved Service Levels and Lower Maintenance Costs - An LED roll out when accompanied by smart controls technology can dramatically improve service levels by notifying the operator of outages and other faults.
· Connectivity - A Backbone for Smart Community Deployments - Networking of smart connected street lights are being increasingly recognised as a key enabler of smart community deployments as, once installed, they are able to support a range of other devices in the public domain at low marginal cost.
· Reduced Electricity Use and Improved Lighting Outcomes - LEDs will reduce the energy used by the lights, substantially reduce the operational cost of the lights and, by delivering high quality white light, increase the efficiency and effectiveness of public lighting which improves safety and reduces fear of crime.
Business Case
The Business Case provided to the NSW Government details how the investment in the Southern Lights project will:
· Install approximately 83,000 LED street lights, the project allows for a 10% increase in the number of lights to enable councils to address additional lighting needs such as in-fill;
· Deliver low to medium bandwidth communications that supports smart community deployments, including smart controls for LED lighting;
· Reduce the energy use in street lighting by 57% generating direct savings for rural and regional councils of $46.3m over 10 years;
· Produce significant Greenhouse Gas (GHG) savings by reducing electricity by 20,500 MWh per year and consequently CO2 emissions by 19,500 tonnes per year;
· Dramatically improve lighting reliability while reducing the maintenance cost of lights by 47%, generating direct savings for rural and regional councils of $31.4m over 10 years;
· Increase efficiencies and improve service delivery for the participating councils and others through the use of smart community technology innovations such as remote metering and remote sensing;
· Improve community safety by providing better and safer lighting that allows communities to raise lighting levels in areas where crime or anti-social behaviour is a problem;
· Allow residents to feel safer on the streets at night and support crime detection by providing brighter, whiter lighting with better colour rendition;
· Jump start the 20-year Vision for Regional NSW, by delivering on the promise of providing connectivity to rural and regional areas 10 years ahead of the scheduled time frame; and
· Be a legacy project that empowers rural and regional communities.
The Business Case shows a payback period of 8.8 years and a BCR of 1.01, however, this only factors-in the returns delivered through lower energy and maintenance costs from LEDs. The efficiencies that will result from the deployment of smart lighting controls and other smart community technologies will further improve the payback period as the impact that new higher quality lighting is expected to have on crime and anti-social behaviour which have also not been factored in.
Working with Essential Energy
At this time, the Group is working with Essential Energy on the procurement of both the smart-enabled street lighting and the ‘communications backbone’ which is an integral component of smart lighting and will provide access to other smart community technologies. The Group anticipate that procurement processes will have progressed to allow the roll-out of the smart lighting and its supporting technology early in the new Financial Year.
The deployment will be undertaken by Essential Energy and its contractors, with local government determining, in consultation with Essential Energy, local issues relating to the replacement of existing lights with the new LEDs. Information on this process will be forwarded directly to councils by Essential Energy.
Risks
At this stage there are two noteworthy risks. Firstly, that the funding will not be made available. The Southern Lights group are managing this by advocating for the project at this stage to the NSW Government. The Business Case provided to the State Government includes the smart controls capability of the lights and other optimisation such as in fill of lighting of up to 10% to help with historically poorly lit areas. This optimisation may not occur if funding is not available.
The second risk is that Essential Energy may not have the same interest in the smart community applications as Councils and community. To manage this the Southern Lights Group have sought advice on interest and capability from industry through a public Expression of Interest process. This process was well received by industry and undertaken inclusively with Essential Energy with a view to a shared understanding of the opportunity.
Financial Implications
While full funding is being sought from the NSW Government for the project, advice has not yet been received by Southern Lights on whether this application has been approved. If the application is not approved, Councils will need to give consideration on how to fund the project including the debt service ratio implications should Council need to borrow funds. Timing may be a consideration for Council and it is recommended that Council monitor the timeframe for its Bulk Lamp Replacement.
Conclusion
The Southern Lights Project will enable councils to significantly reduce their electricity consumption on street lights where replacing existing lighting with smart-enabled, energy efficient LEDs will reduce electricity consumption by over 57% while supporting smart community deployments.
While enthusiastic about the project, the NSW Government has not yet provided advice on the outcome of the funding request for $71.2m. If funding is not received, Council will need to give consideration to alternate options for the project.
Central NSW Joint Organisation, along with other JOs and ROCs will continue to advocate for the Southern Lights Project.

General Manager's REPORT
Council has received official advice that the Cudal Progress & Commerce Association will discontinue due to lack of support. This advice has been forthcoming after months of inactivity of the committee.
A new community group, Cudal Central Incorporated, has now formed and will replace the Progress Association as the peak community group in Cudal.
Council’s delegates to Cudal Progress & Commerce Association were Clr Treavors with Clr Durkin as alternate. It will be necessary to appoint delegates to Cudal Central Incorporated. The date and time of the meetings is yet to be advised.

THAT Council support Local Government NSW in its lobbying efforts regarding the increase to the Emergency Services Levy. |
Director of Finance and Corporate Services' REPORT
Each year, the NSW Government collects payments from councils and insurers to fund emergency services agencies in NSW, with councils required to pay 11.7 per cent of the budget required by NSW Emergency Services. These charges are embedded in council rates and insurance premiums.
From 1 July 2019 the NSW Government plans to collect an additional $160 million (in 2019/20) from NSW councils, communities and those paying insurance premiums to provide better workers’ compensation coverage for volunteer and career firefighters who are diagnosed with one of 12 specific work-related cancers.
Councils were sent invoices with a letter from Revenue NSW in May 2019, advising NSW council contributions will increase by $19 million in 2019/20. The letter also foreshadowed increases in the following year, but not the amount.
Cabonne Council received an invoice from Revenue NSW for $63,099.10 for its emergency services levy contribution. This is $6,390 more than last year’s levy (a 11.26%) increase. This will mean council will need to find additional funds and/or cut planned initiatives or services.
Council supports career and volunteer firefighters in NSW – as it does all emergency services workers and volunteers. Indeed, many NSW council staff and councillors are volunteers. We also support the Bill passed in November 2018 to address what was a workers’ compensation shortfall.
However, the sector was at no point advised that it would be required to cover the cost via significant increases to the emergency services levy, or what this cost would be.
Proportional to council revenue, the extra $6,390.38 Cabonne Council is being asked to pay is a large amount and the impact of this unplanned cost will certainly be felt by the community.
Local Government NSW is calling upon the NSW Government to fund the first 12 months of this extra cost and work with local governments to ensure the implementation of the funding mechanism is fairer into the future.

Senior Accounting Officer's REPORT
The quarterly budget review is presented to Council to provide fair and reasonable information to the Councillors and the community, with regard to the current state of the budget.
Budget amendment requests and alterations throughout the quarter are listed on pages 5 & 6 and reflect the recommended changes for the March 2019 quarter. The overall impact on the budget due to the changes listed in the report, is a favorable credit movement of $96,573.
The quarter saw the successful application for Drought Communities funding of $1,000,000. The initial payment for these projects has come in and the projects are underway in their initial stages.
Council also received RMS funding of $299,960 as part of the Drought Relief Heavy Vehicle Access Program. The works relating to this funding have commenced on Gumble Road, Cargo Road and Burrendong Way.
Budget adjustments have been made to account for the receipt of the WHS Incentive Payment of $35,385, and in turn account for spending to be undertaken on WHS Emergency management of $66,863. During the quarter council was also successful in receiving $5,000 from VERTO for 2 of our new apprentices.
The council’s engineering department have been engaged by John Holland Rail to undertake private roadworks during the quarter for the amount of $114,132. The Council has also committed $40,860 to demolish the Junction Hotel awning in Canowindra – to be recouped from the owner in the future.
Expense budgets have been increased for the amount of $5,000 for subscription costs and $10,000 for advertising expenditure. Other increases to operating expenditure included $20,000 for the Regional Asset Management Workshop and $46,000 in budgeted expenditure to cover costs associated with response to safety issues at the Canowindra and Eugowra swimming pools. $100,000 has been allocated to assist with maintenance and safety improvements for the sewer pump stations.
Other capital expenditure includes an increase of $46,000 to the existing budget for completion of the surrounds at the Molong Multi-Purpose Sports Facility. A budget of $75,000 has been requested to assist with storm water drainage works required at Eugowra. Council’s engineering department have also requested a transfer of funds from the developer contributions reserve of $435,560 to be used on S94 Roadworks.
It is important to note that other changes throughout the quarter arising from council resolutions are already in the approved changes and revised budget totals. This includes $113,090 to complete the Bank Street toilets from the capital works reserve and $3,300 from the Canowindra Town improvements reserve to finalise the solar panel installation at the Age of Fishes Museum.

THAT from 1 July 2019 the annual fees payable to each councillor be set at $12,160 and the additional annual payable fee to the Mayor be set at $26,530. |
Administration Manager's REPORT
The Local Government Remuneration Tribunal (the Tribunal) is required to report to the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces by 1 May each year as to its determination of categories of councils and the maximum and minimum amounts of fees to be paid to mayors, councillors, and chairpersons and members of county councils.
Categories
The Tribunal did not undertake a broad review of the categorisation of councils and considered only those requests where an individual submission was made. The Tribunal found that the allocation of councils into the current categories is appropriate.
The Tribunal will next consider the model, the criteria applicable to each group and the allocation of councils in detail in 2020. The criteria applicable to each of the categories are published in Appendix 1 of the determination (annexed) and are unchanged from 2018.
In accordance with s239 of the Local Government Act (1993), the categories of councils have been determined as follows:
Metropolitan |
Non-metropolitan |
Principal CBD |
Regional City |
Major CBD |
Regional Strategic Area |
Metropolitan Large |
Regional Rural |
Metropolitan Medium |
Rural |
Metropolitan Small |
|
Cabonne Council has been categorised as Rural.
Fees
The tribunal has determined that the minimum and maximum fees applicable to each category will be increased by 2.5% which is consistent with the government’s policy on wages.
Accordingly, Council is able to set annual fees in the following range:
Councillor Minimum fee $9,190 Maximum fee $12,160
Mayor Minimum fee $9,780 Maximum fee $26,530*
*This fee must be paid in addition to the fee paid to the Mayor as a Councillor in accordance with s249(2) of the Local Government Act (1993).

Local Government Week 2019 is due to take place from Monday 29 July until Sunday 4 August 2019.
This year's theme is ‘Your Council’. This gives council the opportunity to move the conversation beyond roads, rates and rubbish and focus on Cabonne Council and its involvement in the community. This can include any facilities operated by council such as childcare centres, libraries, cemeteries, sports fields, building and development, pet registration etc.
Last year Council held a workshop to discuss ideas for Local Government Week and determined at its May Council meeting to visit local primary schools in conjunction with an inspection of major capital projects.

· The Eugowra Lions Club hosted their regular luncheon and entertainment at the Eugowra Community Bowls & Recreation Club;
· Cabonne Community Transport took 40 seniors to the Premier’s Gala Concert in Sydney;
· Cabonne Home and Community Care planned several events during the week, including lunch and Archibald Prize Tour.

Community Engagement and Development Manager's REPORT
Council has received two applications under the 2018/2019 Events Assistance Program (EAP).
Council’s Tourism and Community Development Coordinator has provided the following assessments.
Application 1
Organisation: Eugowra Events & Tourism Association
Event: Woodfired Eugowra
Date: 3 August 2019
Requested Amount: $500
Reason for Funding: Contribution towards marketing and promoting the event.
Event Description:
The Woodfired Eugowra event is one of the events that fall under the 2019 Orange Winter Festival. The inaugural event was held last year and attracted more than 250 people who provided positive feedback on the event’s success.
This year the organisers are extending invitations to a number of caravan clubs which has the potential to introduce and promote Eugowra and Cabonne to various visitors from further afield.
The Woodfired Eugowra event will be providing a number of activities, including live music, cooking demonstrations, a number of market stalls, play activities that all cater to family attractions and interests.
The event organisers are planning to reinvest the profits back into benefiting and advancing the local community. There are a number of community organisations and service clubs involved who are assisting in delivering the event. They include local schools, Lions Club, View Club and craft shop.
Assessment
The submitted application meets the grant criteria of the Events Assistance Program of a developing event, which plans to grow and become an annual event on the Cabonne and regional calendar.
The organisers aim to increase visitors to the Cabonne village of Eugowra, to help raise the town’s profile, increase awareness, boost community morale and help increase the local economy which is suffering the effects of the continuing drought.
The level of funding for a developing event is a maximum of up to $500.
Application 2
Organisation: Wine Industry Suppliers Aust. Inc (WISA)
Event: Wine Industry IMPACT Conference
Date: 17 & 18 September 2019
Requested Amount: $5,000
Reason for Funding: Contribution towards marketing and promoting the event.
Event Description:
The Wine Industry IMPACT Conference is Australia’s only national wine conference that focuses on the customer impact touch points. The Conference aims to concentrate on valuable wine content for wine producers that improves visitation, conversion, retention and engagement that impacts on lifetime customer value.
Wine Industry Suppliers Australia (WISA) have gained strategic sponsorship and partnership from Destination NSW that will invite Australian Wine Industry professionals to the conference held in the Orange region.
The Conference is planned to take place over two days. It will be held at the Orange Ex-Services Club, starting at 10am on 17 September 2019 and conclude at 1pm on Wednesday 18 September 2019.
There will be a full day of plenary on the Tuesday and workshops on the Wednesday that involve visiting various wineries in the Cabonne shire. The conference features a line-up of international keynote speakers to help achieve world’s best practice in delivering customer satisfaction.
Additional activities include a showcase dinner on the Tuesday night to expose intestate delegates to the region’s premium food and wine and a road trip on Thursday 20 September 2019 that provides an opportunity to learn more about the local wine and tourism industry, share ideas, create networks with national peers and enhance outcomes.
This is a significant national event for the Orange region that provides the best opportunity for the local grape, wine, and broader tourism sectors to gain valuable and practical education and professional development.
In turn, the Conference held in the region will showcase our producers, attractions and assets to all the delegates and further afield, helping to increase regional awareness of the diversity of our Orange and Cabonne regional producers and attractions.
Orange, Cabonne and Blayney tourism managers and Orange 360 are working together to attract conferences to the area. This is a unique opportunity to host this conference that supports the wine and tourism industry that aims to attract approximately 300 delegates to the area.
Other regional related businesses will also benefit in providing services and products, including accommodation, transport, hospitality, food and wine and retail businesses. These benefits impact on economic activity and help to result in stronger employment that underpin growth and a stronger and more sustainable region.
In its application, WISA said Orange City Council had indicated it would provide $3,000 in support. Orange 360 has not indicated any financial support at this stage.
Assessment
The Wine Industry IMPACT Conference is a significant unique event that will impact on Cabonne/Orange along with strengthening the wine and tourism industries. This is the second conference, the first for this region. The funding and sponsorship will support the event to help maximise visitation, enhance the profile of the area and help to expose the industry to best practice on an internationally level.
Cabonne Council provided a support letter to WISA for their successful submission to Destination NSW.
The level of funding for a significant event of this category is a maximum of up to $5,000. It is suggested that $3,000 is an appropriate contribution.

Director of Engineering & Technical Services' REPORT
Council has a local road network that comprises of 1,709kms that includes 1,006km of unsealed roads, some 59% of the total.
Over recent years, Council has noticed an increase of requests from ratepayers, for sealing of unsealed roads, as a dust suppression and preventative. The problem of dust on the local road network has been exacerbated in recent times, by the prevailing drought conditions. Dust created by traffic movement on the road network raises safety, health, environmental and social concerns to the residents situated along it.
Council has a structured sealing program in accordance to its Asset Management Plan to annually increase and extend the sealed road network, however, that does not directly or immediately address the requests from the residents to council. In order to address the concerns of the ratepayers and to provide the community with some opportunity to voluntarily self-fund the dust sealing of roads adjacent to their property. A Draft Policy for Rural Roads Dust Sealing is included as an annexure for review and adoption.

Amend the ‘Alcohol Control in Public Places Policy’ to include in clause 11 when referencing Alcohol Free Zones, the statement that ‘Implementation of these zones would not prevent the consumption of alcohol in any footpath dining areas that have a liquor licence covering the footpath dining areas’, and undertake public notification of the proposed amended wording. |
Director of Environmental Services' REPORT
1. Alcohol Free Zones and Alcohol Prohibited Zones
Council in 1999 established a series of alcohol free zones and alcohol prohibited zones at Canowindra and Molong. These areas included:
Alcohol Free Zone
· Molong – Bank Street from Edward Street to the Mitchell Highway
· Canowindra – Gaskill Street from Ferguson Street to Tilga Street
· Canowindra – the area from Gaskill Street to, and including, the Swinging Bridge
Alcohol Prohibited area
· Molong – Village Green
· Canowindra – Morris Park and Memorial Park.
Alcohol free zones as prescribed by the Local Government Act 1993 apply to roads, and public car parks. The zone applies 24 hours, seven per week.
Alcohol prohibited areas may be applied to parks, sporting ovals and public reserves and may be time limited.
It is considered that the zones are successful is reducing undesirable behaviour. The police area command supports this view and have indicated that the use of the zones instils confidence in the community in relation to public safety.
The zones may be established for a maximum period of four (4) years. It is suggested that the Cabonne Council zones be re-established for a four year period. Ministerial Guidelines apply to the establishment and re-establish of such zones, and specifies the process for public consultation. It is suggested that council proceed to public notification of the proposal to re-establish the zones, and that a further report be provided to council at the conclusion of the public notification phase.
Molong – Alcohol Free Zone
Canowindra - Alcohol Free Zone
Canowindra – Swinging bridge area
Alcohol Free Zone
Memorial Park, Canowindra – Alcohol Prohibited Area
Morris Park, Canowindra – Alcohol Prohibited Area
Molong Village Green – Alcohol Prohibited Zone
Molong Railway Station area – carpark
Alcohol Prohibited Zone
2. Alcohol Control in Public Places Policy
Development Consent was issued in 2006 for refurbishment and upgrade of the Freemasons Hotel, Bank Street, Molong. The approval included a café dining area to be situated on the footpath in Watson Street.
In 2018 the current owner and licensee sought development consent to establish an outdoor dining area to be located on Bank Street adjoining the hotel. A condition of development consent precluded the serving of alcohol. The proponent has submitted a request to council to amend it ‘Alcohol Control in Public Places Policy’ to permit the servicing of alcohol in association with meals served from the hotel in the outdoor footpath dining area.
The Central West Police District Licensing Supervisor provided the following comments relating to the proposal:
‘Police have the following concerns in relation to the above application to allow outdoor dining on Bank Street Molong – public intoxication, public safety whether perceived or real, anti-social behaviour, traffic/ pedestrian safety. To address these issues police believe conditions placed on the hotel (proposal) could include – operated during daylight hours, only to be utilizes ancillary with a meal, portable barrier similar to ones used at cafes to assist in safety .. as the area is in close proximity to the highway.’
The proponent sought approval for 4 tables, seating a maximum of 16 patrons, to be located along the Bank Street wall of the hotel premises. Cafe style barriers are to be installed around the outdoor seating area. Initially trading hours of 10am to midnight were sought. Approval was granted for trading hours of midday to 10 pm daily.
To permit licensing of outdoor dining areas within an Alcohol Free Zone the council’s ‘Alcohol Control in Public Places Policy’ would require an amendment by inclusion in part 11 of that policy when addressing Alcohol Free Zones of a statement that reads as follows:
‘Implementation of these zones would not prevent the consumption of alcohol in any footpath dining areas that have a liquor license covering the footpath dining areas.’
The suggested amendment tot council policy could be subject to public comment in conjunction with the public notification of the re-establishment of the various alcohol free zones and alcohol prohibited zones.

Town Planner's REPORT
Council is increasingly being faced with Development Applications and planning enquiries for rural tourism related land uses. The growth of the regions tourism industry has had a positive flow on effect for the Cabonne Shire.
At present Council does not have any specific guidelines around the assessment or determination of development applications for rural tourism land uses. To assist in the implementation of Cabonne Tourism Plan 2012- 2022, Central West and Orana Regional Plan, whilst ensuring the promotion of Council’s Right to Farm Policy, Council staff have drafted a set of guidelines in the form of a new Development Control Plan. The Development Control Plan provides a set of objectives and controls for the permissible rural tourism land uses being:
· Bed and Breakfast Accommodation
· Farm Stay Accommodation
· Cellar Door Premises
· Restaurants or Cafes
Under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, Council must publicly exhibit a draft Development Control Plan for a minimum period of 28 days.
After this exhibition period, Council staff will review any submissions and prepare a subsequent report for Council.

3. Details of the Proposal
Please provide a general description of the event. |
The Wine Industry IMPACT Conference is Australia's only national conference aimed at maximising direct-to-consumer (DTC) wine sales. With a focus across all consumer touch points including marketing, sales and tourism it provides valuable content for wine producers to improve visitation, conversion, retention and engagement that impacts lifetime customer value. Following the enormous success of the inaugural conference in Adelaide, Wine Industry Suppliers Australia (WISA), with support from strategic partner Destination New South Wales, invites Australian Wine Industry professionals to gather in Orange this September for the 2019 Conference. The event will take place over 2 days (extended from last years 1 day event) on the 17th – 18th September with a full day plenary on the 17th and workshops on the 18th September. Featuring a lineup of experts including International Keynote Speakers, the industry-specific event will focus on delivering world's best practice, engaging and how-to content that delegates can implement to improve their DTC sales channel. The event will also include a regional wine showcase dinner to expose interstate delegates to the regions premium food and wine offerings. We are also hosting an optional regional road trip on the Thursday 19th September to provide the opportunity for delegates to get behind the scenes of the local wine and tourism offerings, share ideas, create networks and enhance outcomes. This is a significant national event that will provide the best opportunity for the local grape, wine and broader tourism sectors to gain valuable and practical education and professional development.
|
Where and when is the event to take place? |
The main conferencing will take place at the Oranges Ex Services Club on the 17th & 18th September. An intimate speakers and sponsors dinner will be held on the 16th September (venue TBC). An Orange regional showcase dinner will be held on the 17th September (venue TBC). A regional road trip option will be offered to delegates for the 19th September (visit locations TBC). We are working closely with ORVA and Orange 360 on the event to ensure maximum impact for the region and delegates.
|
How will the event raise the profile of the Cabonne Council? |
This is a unique opportunity to attract a truly national and recognised event to the region to support local business to showcase their food & wine produce and tourism offering. Being selected as the host region from the total of 65 regions nationally is a big coup for both the Orange and Cabonne Council’s. Working in tandem, the Councils will be able to leverage the attraction of this event through local media, speaking with relevant businesses and by attending the conference and associated events. WISA would be pleased to provide recognition of the Councils support of the event on the event page and with ability to have banners at the event commensurate with the support level.
|
What local business opportunities will be created? |
This event aims to attract over 300 delegates and offers significant opportunity for local accommodation, transport and hospitality sectors. Most importantly, it will provide the opportunity for local wine and tourism providers access to worlds best practice direct to consumer education in their region and the ability to share insights and create networks with national peers.
|
How many people are expected to attend the event from within and outside the Shire? |
The event aims to attract 300 delegates including speakers and sponsors. As per our successful application to Destination NSW for funding support the break-down includes:
120 Local Government Area 205 From outside of the Local Government Area
|
What benefits will be returned to the Cabonne Community |
For regional centres, often tourism is a key driver of economic activity and resulting employment. Besides the direct benefits of attracting a range of delegates to the community that add valuable economic input to local businesses the opportunity to educate those wine and tourism businesses to understand trends, adopt technology and to improve their offerings with world’s best practice will ultimately underpin a community that can sustain and increase employment opportunities.

Regional Road Trip
|
An optional activity at the event will be a behind the scenes regional famil/road trip where delegates can engage with local wine producers/tourism providers to share between them experiences, trends and knowledge to improve their business. We seek to keep the costs of these additional activities low and funding in this area would go towards subsidising this additional activity including bus hire and catering and would result in additional accommodation requirements as it is held on the 16th Sept after the close of the conference 17th – 18th Sept. |
$2,500 |
Orange and Regional Showcase Dinner
|
The Orange and Regional Showcase dinner will be held on the 17th September and aims to showcase the premium food and wine of the region. This will provide delegates to experience the exceptional offerings so that they can share the experience upon their return. As an optional event we again are seeking to keep costs low so as to attract as many people as possible and this funding will support catering and possible additional transport costs (if held at a winery). |

Senior Accounting Officer's REPORT
Council’s investments as at 30 April 2019 stand at a total of $45,011,294.27.
Council’s average interest rate for the month of April was 2.46%. The effect of the low cash rate is having a negative impact on term deposit rates offered by financial institutions. The Reserve Bank’s official cash rate remained steady at 1.50% during the month of April. However, Council’s average rate is higher than Council’s benchmark rate of the 30 Day Bank Bill Swap Rate of 1.6%.
Council’s investments are held with multiple Australian financial Institutions with varying credit ratings according to Council’s Investment Policy. The annexure to this report shows a break up of each individual institution that Council invests with and its “Standard and Poor’s” Credit Rating.
The Schedule of Investments for April 2019 is attached for Council’s information.

General Manager REPORT
Council adopted guidelines for the Community Facilitation Fund (CFF) in March 2015. The CFF was created for smaller community projects not originally included in the council’s budget, to be allocated at the discretion of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor.
As a reminder, the guidelines for the CFF are as follows:
1. Projects where no existing vote for the works has been allocated or the vote is insufficient to complete the project.
2. Recipients must be community based not-for-profit groups.
3. Mayor and Deputy Mayor to jointly approve funds (with the General Manager as proxy if one is not available).
4. Allocation of funds to be reported to the next available council meeting.
5. Limit of $3,000 per allocation unless other approved by council.
There were NIL allocation of funds processed in the past month.

\OFFICIAL RECORDS LIBRARY\COMMUNITY SERVICES\PLANNING\CANOWINDRA PROPOSED RETIREMENT VILLAGE - CORNER BLATCHFORD and MILL STREETS - 1012811 |
Director of Finance and Corporate Services' REPORT
Background
The project involves the construction of 14 aged care units on a property situated at the corner of Blatchford and Mill streets, Canowindra. This project is very beneficial to Canowindra as it will provide retirement accommodation in a convenient location.
Council loaned the Canowindra Retirement Village Project Association (CRVPA) $100,000 to purchase the site for the units in 2008. The project has evolved and council is now negotiating with Uniting Care to deliver the project. As per conditions of the proposed lease Uniting Care require council to be the registered proprietor of the premises. Consequently CRVPA are in the process of transferring the land to council via a deed. At the time of writing, a meeting between council and the CRVPA was scheduled for Friday 17 May to finalise the transfer of the land.
A Development Application (DA 2010/80) was approved 6 December 2010. Due to initial works occurring this DA is still current. Should a different concept plan be proposed, a new development application will need to be prepared and submitted for appropriate approval.
There have been many meetings over the years, the most recent was a meeting between CRVPA, Uniting Care and the Director of Finance and Corporate Services which took place in Orange on 19 February 2019. Since that date there has been negotiations over lease documents which have been sent by Uniting Care but council have not yet found satisfactory. Negotiations will continue and council may seek legal advice.
Financial Commitment
This project will commit council to coordinate significant capital works in a timely manner. Under the proposed lease council will be required to complete the works within 18 months of the lease commencing. It is therefore imperative that a lease is developed that ensures that Uniting Care proceed with the project once the infrastructure has been completed.
Council has $1.042m carried forward from previous budgets to fund the infrastructure associated with the project. Although estimates suggest that the cost will be in excess of $1m. If additional funds are required they can be sourced from the capital works reserve.
