Recommendation

 

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

 

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.

File Number

\OFFICIAL RECORDS LIBRARY\GOVERNMENT RELATIONS\LOCAL AND REGIONAL LIAISON\BCO ALLIANCE - 1187181

 

 

Recommendation

 

THAT Council:

 

1.   Approve the draft BCO Alliance Agreement between Blayney Shire, Cabonne and Orange City Councils; including delegations contained in the Agreement.

2.   Note that Blayney Shire Council, on behalf of the BCO Alliance and with support from Cabonne and Orange City Councils, will seek Ministerial consent to establish a company limited by Guarantee called BCO Alliance Limited to act as agent for the Alliance.

3.   Authorise, subject to Ministerial consent, the Mayor and General Manager to execute the BCO Alliance Agreement, substantially in the form of the draft.

 

General Manager's REPORT

 

In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed by the BCO Alliance members on Wednesday 23 September 2020, the BCO Alliance was established as a formal voluntary strategic alliance between the member Councils; Blayney Shire, Cabonne and Orange City. 

 

The MOU which outlined the objectives, Services, Principles and Governance of the Alliance will serve its purpose until a formal Agreement is executed.  The inaugural meeting of the Alliance was held on 25 November 2020.

 

The draft BCO Alliance Agreement (attached and following this report) was prepared for Board consideration and feedback. This Agreement will provide the legal framework necessary for the BCO Alliance to function within the Local Government Act (1993). 

 

The Board determined that each member Council be presented the Agreement for endorsement.

The main issue of principle is whether we have a separate legal entity to be available to act as agent for the Alliance. The draft Agreement provides for this (see recital (E) and clause 6) as a Council owned company limited by guarantee, registered under the Corporations Act (2001). 

The relationship between the 3 Councils remains contractual, but the Alliance Agent is there to act as a nominee of the 3 Councils if ever a contract needs to be entered into for the purposes of the Alliance.  

Such contracts down the track may be, for example, joint procurement, employment or consultancy contracts or grant funding agreements.

It avoids all 3 Councils having to jointly sign contracts or for one Council to act on behalf of or to auspice for all 3.  It doesn’t mean that the activities of the Alliance are conducted through the Agent - that remains all 3 Councils working together in their own right.

The Agreement clause requires unanimous decisions, which provides each Council with a protection mechanism.

The use of a company limited by guarantee (not shares) is how the 3 councils established Orange TDO Limited to form Orange 360, although in that case the company is the actual trading entity, not merely a nominee or agent for the Councils.

The Alliance Agent as an entity provides the flexibility for the future if needed for the BCO to act independently, subject to the member Councils’ agreement.

Risk/Policy/Legislation Considerations:

There are several governance models Councils use to share services which include;

·    An arrangement supported by a formal agreement or MOU,

·    A committee of council under the Local Government Act (1993),

·    A Joint Organisation (JO) as legislated by the Local Government Act (1993),

·    An incorporated association under the Associations Incorporation Act (2009); or

·    A Council owned company under the Corporations Act (2001)

 

The draft BCO Alliance Agreement provides the legal framework necessary for the BCO Alliance to function within the Local Government Act (1993).    Only by resolution may Council delegate functions to another body; as per s377 of the LG Act.  Clause 6.2 of the Agreement refers to the functions that the Alliance Agent may carry out to effectively share resources.  

 

If an Alliance Agent as recommended is established, under s358 of the LG Act Council is required to seek Ministerial approval to form the corporation.  An entity for the purposes of s358 of the Act means any partnership, trust, joint venture, syndicate or other body (whether or not incorporated) and Councils are able to be a member of a company limited by guarantee. 

 

In applying for the Minister’s consent, Council must demonstrate that the formation of, or the acquisition of the controlling interest in, the corporation or entity is in the public interest.  

Each Council must demonstrate;

 

1.   Is the proposal consistent with the functions of the Council or an existing service that the Council provides?

2.   Will the proposed entity be legally separated from the Council?

3.   Is the Council currently financially viable?

4.   What is the impact of the proposal on existing Council staff?

 

It is proposed that Blayney Shire Council undertake the lead in seeking the Minister’s consent for the involvement of the 3 member Councils to establish the BCO Alliance Limited.

 

After assessing the application, the OLG will make a recommendation to the Minister on the Council’s proposal.

 

The draft Agreement has taken into account the OLG Guidance Paper on Collaboration and Partnerships between Councils (2007) https://www.olg.nsw.gov.au/wp-content/uploads/Collaboration-and-Partnerships-between-Councils-A-Guidance-Paper-2007.pdf and the more recent NSW Audit Office Report on Shared Services in Local Government (2018) https://www.audit.nsw.gov.au/our-work/reports/shared-services-in-local-government

The Annual Report documentation comprises the following:

 

·    Annual Report 2019/2020 which highlights Council’s achievements and progress towards the Community Strategic Plan and other statutory information as prescribed within the Local Government Act and Regulations; and

·    Audited Financial Statements 2019/2020.

 

As the audited financial statements were presented to the November Council meeting, they have not been included in the annexed copy of the 2019/2020 Annual Report. The entire document (including financial statements) will be uploaded to Council’s website and as prescribed, will be available to the Minister of Local Government.

Recommendation

 

THAT Council:

 

1.   Prepares to submit the following projects for funding under Round 5 of the Building Better Regions Fund:

i.    Canowindra Town Centre Improvement Project valued at approximately $2m

ii.     Molong Main Street Improvement Project valued at approximately $2m

2.   Provides $2m towards the cost of the combined projects, should the applications be successful, and that the contribution be funded by Council’s 2021 Resources for Regions allocation (if successful) or the Council’s capital reserve as a secondary option.

3.   Support the development of a detailed design for the Molong Main Street project, during the funding assessment period.

 

 

General Manager's REPORT

 

Council staff have recently been made aware that the Round 5 of the Federal Government’s Building Better Regions Fund is scheduled to open in January 2021. To be in a position of readiness to be submit applications within the required time frame, and to align to the Council meeting calendar, nominated projects are to be confirmed as a priority.

 

About the Opportunity

 

Funding under the Infrastructure Projects Stream provides grants from $20,000 to $10 million on a dollar-for-dollar basis, with the applicant to provide 50 per cent or more of the project costs. To be eligible, projects must:

 

§ be aimed at the construction, upgrade or extension of infrastructure that provides economic and social benefits to regional and remote areas

§ comprise one of the following activities:

§ the construction of new infrastructure

§ the upgrade to existing infrastructure

§ the extension of existing infrastructure

§ the replacement of infrastructure where there is a significant increase in benefit

§ not have started construction but be ready to commence within 12 weeks of execution of a funding deed (if successful)

 

Suitable Projects

 

Projects that are in a position of readiness to progress are the Canowindra and Molong Town Centre urban design projects that Council has recently been briefed on

 

These projects are considered ready to be progressed toward submission because:

·    significant community consultation has been undertaken through the enquiry-by-design process

·    Projects have been publicly displayed and open to community feedback several times

·    Concept design has been completed

·    Preliminary costs have been estimated

·    Public support has been established

·    Funding has been secured for the procurement of business cases to support these projects

 

As Council may recall, the estimated cost of all works proposed is almost $11m. In the interests of deliverability, it is proposed to extract a package of works for each town valued at approximately $2m, focusing primarily on the Main Street portion of the plans.

 

For Canowindra there is no significant construction work required to implement the proposed improvements to the Main Street and surrounds, however the proposal for Molong Main Street has more structurally significant elements and will require a detailed design to be completed. For the purposes of deliverability, the detailed design process should be undertaken during the funding assessment period so the project is in a state of readiness to progress, if the application is successful.

 

Council Contribution

 

In round figures, the total cost of the projects is $4m, requiring a 50 per cent contribution of $2m which may either come from capital reserves or be provided by leveraging other funding opportunities.

 

One such opportunity may be the NSW Government Resources for Regions fund, should Cabonne continue to be eligible in future rounds of funding. This would still be subject to a full application process, including a business case. Should the project not meet with the funding body’s approval, use of capital reserve funds may be required.

 

A further report will be provided to Council upon receiving the outcome of the funding submissions, to confirm acceptance (if successful) and confirm the source of financial contribution.

A conservative approach has been taken to these applications due to the nature of COVID and the fact that there is a presumption that there will be increased applications for events throughout the financial year. Being able to support as many events as possible to get the most value for Cabonne is important to the longevity in event engagement and community support.

F.O.O.D Week has been supported by Council through the Event Assistance Program for the last 9 years. Although the event meets most of the requirements of a Flagship Event there is a clause noted in the EAP guidelines that Cabonne Council will fund a Flagship event for a maximum of 3 years. It is important to note that this event has been treated as a Flagship event for the past 6 years.

 

They are requesting funding to assist with production costs of the F.O.O.D Week Program (Digital). They note they have outsourced this work to Orange360 with an estimated cost of $8000 for production. Council contributes more than $80,000 a year to be a member of Orange 360 and the promotion of flagship and signature events in the region is seen as a core function of Orange 360. The recommended funding amount of $2,000 reflects this relationship.

Recommendation

 

That Council donate $13,000 (equivalent to market rent) for a period of 12 months as per the licence agreement, to Eugowra Community Children’s Centre Inc for the use of 41 Nanima Street, Eugowra NSW 2806 (Eugowra Hall).

 

Deputy General Manager - Cabonne Infrastructure's REPORT

 

Council at its Ordinary meeting on 27 October 2020 resolved the following:

 

1.   Council enter into a Licence agreement with Eugowra Community Children’s Centre Inc for the use of Part Reserve No. 76807 for a Childcare Centre and Pre-School and

2.   Authorise the General Manager to sign and execute the Licence Agreement.

 

According to this resolution, Council officers have forwarded the licence agreement to the Eugowra Community Children’s Centre Inc.

 

Within the licence agreement, the lease value for the hall use has been based on a commercial rate, through external valuation advice. This approach for lease arrangements has been sought so as Council may account financially the full value of its properties and facilities. The lease fee is $13,000 for the twelve month period of the licence agreement.

 

Eugowra Community Children’s Centre are a not for profit childcare centre and as such, have requested a donation to the value for the twelve months of the lease.

 

Given the importance of the service to the community, and the not-for-profit nature of the business, it is recommended to Council that the request for donation be supported.

 

Council has a number of licencing and leasing arrangements across its property assets, Council is currently undertaking a review of Governance arrangements around its properties. Council may be required to establish similar mechanisms for community use of council buildings.

Recommendation

 

THAT Council:

1.   Enter into a licence agreement with Cudal Community Children’s Centre for the use of Part Lot 1 DP935937 Cudal Hall for a Childcare Centre and Preschool extended play area, and

2.    Authorise the General Manager to sign and execute the Licence Agreement.

 

Deputy General Manager - Cabonne Infrastructure's REPORT

 

Council received a request on 15 May 2020 to utilise the vacant land behind the Cudal Hall as an expanded playground area for the adjacent Cudal Community Children’s Centre. It is proposed that the section be fenced so as to be part of the child care centre, and not be accessible to the general public.

 

The concept was advertised for public comment from 27 July 2020 to 25 August 2020. No submissions were received during the notification phase.

 

Advice provided from Council’s solicitor is that under the Trustees Act 1925 Council may enter into a licence arrangement for the Cudal Community Children’s Centre to utilise part of the land of the Cudal Hall in order to extend the current play space for the children.

 

It should be noted that separate land use approval would be required to formailse the proposed use of the subject land, being ancillary to the adjacent childcare centre.

Recommendation

 

THAT Council:

1.   Include the select works for Kangaroobie Road in its 2021/22 budget deliberations including:

a)   Culvert widening and sealing works at Mulyan and Sugar Loaf Creeks

b)   Vegetation clearing works for the length of Kangaroobie Road

c)   Line marking for the extent of sealed section of Kangaroobie Road

d)   Sealing of selection sections of road shoulders to prevent gravel encroachment onto the roadway

 

2.   Not seal Kangaroobie Road at this time due to traffic count data and road safety audit findings not supporting the prioritisation of the investment required

 

 

 

Deputy General Manager - Cabonne Infrastructure's REPORT

 

Background

Several requests for sealing of the gravel pavement sections of Kangaroobie Road have been received by council since March 2020. Three separate residents of Kangaroobie have made requests for the road to be sealed, with a meeting being held with residents on 7 August 2020 to discuss the matter. A submission received during this meeting from the residents is attached to this report to summarise the concerns raised.

 

At this meeting with residents, Council officers agreed to undertake an assessment of the road and its use, to ascertain if there were a case for the prioritisation of sealing of the road. This assessment included:

 

1.   Traffic count over the road

2.   Road Safety Audit

3.   Council Officer assessment of concerns

 

Assessment

Traffic count data was collected on the road to confirm the volume of vehicles travelling on the road. The counts were collected between 10 August 2020 to 25 August 2020 at three locations along Kangaroobie Road:

 

          Kangaroobie Road Sth – 0.50km from Burrendong Way

          Kangaroobie Road Mid – 7.4km from Burrendong Way

          Kangaroobie Road Nth – 0.60km from Belgravia Road

The total Average Daily Traffic (ADT) at the three locations shows an increase in traffic at the end of Kangaroobie Road closest to Orange, which is to be expected given the road’s proximity to the regional centre. The traffic counts at the three locations do not demonstrate that Kangaroobie Road is significantly used as a thoroughfare between Orange and Molong.

 

The traffic counts represent the following road hierarchy classifications:

 

-     Kangaroobie Road South as a Collector Road

-     Kangaroobie Road Mid as a Local Access Road (1)

-     Kangaroobie Road North as an Local Access Road (3)

 

Current pavement widths and characteristics of the road sections reflect what is to be expected of these hierarchy classifications.

 

Measured speeds collected during the traffic count indicate that average speeds are within the speed limit environments for the road.

 

A Road Safety Audit was undertaken by an independent road auditor in September 2020. The audit itself was undertaken for the whole length of Kangaroobie Road, and provides the following High Priority Findings:

 

 

Sealing of Road Shoulders - The sealed section of road between Burrendong Way to end of seal (5.60km) does not have sealed shoulders. As stated in the audit report, sealing of road shoulders allows for greater recovery of vehicles in loss of control situations.

 

To address this concern, it is recommended that the road be widened to 7.2m, from the existing 5.5m for the length of seal (from Burrendong Way). The cost of this work would be significant, being approximately $480,000 in capital expenditure to deliver the widening for the full seal length.

 

Council officers are currently working towards a gap analysis of all Council managed road with regards to their pavement widths, which will form a long-term future works strategy for upgrading of road sections. Whilst the road safety audit has raised the concern, without a program to provide prioritisation, it is not suggested by Council officers to immediately pursue this recommendation.

 

Gravel spillage onto the roadway – The audit findings suggest that there are instances for gravel spillage from driveways onto the roadway, which could cause loss of control for vehicles.

 

The suggested remedy for this issue raised is to seal the driveways for a 1.0 metre length from the seal of the road to provide a buffer. This is considered an item which can be budgeted for in the 2021/22 operational budget for consideration by Council.

 

Line marking – Audit findings with regards to line marking indicated that line marking was faded, and as a high priority, needs to be remarked. This work can be scheduled to be undertaken again, within the 2021/22 operational budget.

 

Some maintenance issues raised, including road grading, road verge slashing and signage adjustment will be scheduled during the course of the maintenance cycle.

 

Council officer assessment - Assessment of the road length by Council officers has also been undertaken to ascertain any priority works that need to be undertaken to improve the level of service of the unsealed section of the road. This included identification of locations where recurrent maintenance issues were occurring and concerns.

 

Such areas of concern identified were the low level culvert/causeways of Mulyan Creek and Sugar Loaf Creek. These water crossing have a differing width to the road approaching them, and are consistently washed out during storm events. It is proposed to extend the culverts and seal the approaches to both of these locations to provide reliable access and safety for road users.

 

Further, the road reserve of Kangaroobie Road is significantly vegetated and provides ongoing issues for maintenance and access for stock vehicles. It is suggested that the trees that are overhanging Kangaroobie Road be trimmed for the road length.

 

Recommendation

On the basis of the traffic count data and the subsequent Local Road classification of Kangaroobie Road, the sealing of the gravel pavement of the road is not considered a high priority for Council to budget. The estimated cost of the sealing and widening works is approximately $3,500,000 which would be funded from Council’s works program.

 

The road safety audit and council officer assessment of Kangaroobie Road has suggested that works be undertaken to extend the width of the existing water crossings at Mulyan Creek and Sugar Loaf Creek. This widening is to include sealing of the crossing and approaches to increase the resilience of the road pavement and improve road safety outcomes. The expected cost of the culvert works is approximately $470,000 total, and are proposed to be budgeted in the 2021/22 capital works program.

 

Extent of vegetation works required for the road have been assessed to cost approximately $30,000 and are also proposed to undertaken in the 2021/22 financial year.

 

Line marking and minor sealing works to prevent gravel encroachment on the roadway, as indicated within the road safety audit, are estimated to cost approximately $25,000 and are works also proposed to be included in the 2021/22 operational budget.

Council’s investments as at 30 November 2020 stand at a total of $42,305,894.

 

Council’s average interest rate for the month of November 2020 was 0.68%.  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 fell to 0.1% during the month of November. However, Council’s average rate is higher than Council’s benchmark rate of the 30 Day Bank Bill Swap Rate of 0.02%. 

 

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 November 2020 is attached for Council’s information.

General Manager's’S 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.

 

An amount of $1,500 was processed from this fund in the past month for gift card prizes for the Cabonne Christmas Light competition.
