Audit Response

Fair Valuation of Infrastructure, property, plant and equipment (IPPE)

Council’s IPPE asset base, which includes water and sewer assets, is significant. All IPPE assets are held at fair value.

Council needs to be satisfied the carrying value of all IPPE assets materially reflects fair values.

Asset values are based on complex methodologies, judgements and estimates increasing the risk of misstatement.

Similarly, IPPE depreciation expense is significant with its calculation based on estimates of replacement values and useful lives of IPPE asset components.

We will assess:

· effectiveness and reliability of management’s process for determining and agreeing fair value of assets

· reasonableness of methodology used

· reasonableness of useful lives and depreciation

· qualifications and experience of any experts used

· whether there are any indicators of impairment

· adequacy of disclosure in the financial statements.

SA17.120 March 2017 Quarterly Budget Review

HPERM Ref: D17/130938

Group: Finance Corporate & Community Services Group

Section: Finance

Attachments: 1. March 2017 Quarterly Budget Review (under separate cover) ⇨

Purpose / Summary

In accordance with Regulation 203(1) of the Local Government (General) Regulation (2005), the responsible accounting officer must prepare and submit to the Council a budget review statement after the end of each quarter. This has been carried out for the third quarter of the 2016/17 financial year.

Recommendation

That the March Quarterly Budget Review and vote movements outlined in the Quarterly Budget Review Statement be adopted by Council.

Options

1. Adopt the recommendation

Implications: Nil

2. Adopt the recommendation as above and also resolve to fund Sussex Inlet Streetscape for the full scope of works, which will cost Council an additional $500K. Council has identified $500,000 in the draft 2017/18 DP/OP & budget documents for “Streetscape renewals” funded by the SRV. This could be allocated to Sussex Inlet Stage 2 if council decides to adopt the 13.2% rate increase approved by IPART.

Implications: Council could decide to approve the Stage 1 & Stage 2 works to proceed now and allocate funds from “unallocated general fund cash” this year on the basis that these funds would be returned from the final budget adopted for 2017/18.

3. Not adopt the recommendation and make an alternative resolution

Implications: Staff will need to rework the quarterly budget review in accordance with the alternative resolution.

Background

The budget review involves an analysis of Council’s annual budget for each Group to determine whether any changes in votes are required for the period. This process has been undertaken for the period to 31^st March 2017, and any changes have been reported in the Quarterly Budget Review Document. This report also analyses the progress of each group in achieving its financial objectives.

General Fund

The original budget adopted by Council produced an operating profit of $2.8M after capital grants, an operating loss before Capital Grants and Contributions of $14M, a reduction in our cash and investments of $14M and an unrestricted cash deficit of $2.8M. The revotes carried forward and adjustments made in this quarterly review have resulted in a projected year end cash deficit position of $990K, as per the following table.

The March Quarterly Budget Review Statement details the recommended budget adjustments with comments on these adjustments and any significant variances. Below is a summary of the adjustments and results to date.

Revenue

As at 31^st March, General Fund has achieved 77% of the revised budget. This is primarily due to the raising of rates revenue in full. Excluding rate income, General Fund has achieved 69% of the revised budget. The March Quarterly Budget Review Statement recommends a revenue increase of $2.7M. The major adjustments in the review are:

· $1.658M increase for Internal Corporate Services – of which $998K relates to section 94, offset to reserve; $507K relates to Plant and Fleet, offset to reserve; $78K for internal revenue for staff time on capital works, offset by expenditure; $68K for insurance reimbursement, offset to reserve.

· $685K increase for Roads and Transport – of which $241K is for higher than expected reimbursement for Street Lighting, partially offset by expenditure; and $350K Waterways Infrastructure Grant received, offset by expenditure and recognition of $94K grant income on projects that will be funded in 2017/18, to match the expenditure that has already occurred.

· $257K increase for Waste & Recycling, of which $230K is Waste Levy Rebate.

· $272K net decrease for Economic Development – of which $1.15M reduction relates to a grant funded project ($750K cashflowed to 2017/18 financial year for receipt, $400K being claimed by third party, offset by expenditure reductions), $563K increase due to grant received, $308K increase for dividend received, offset to reserve.

Operating Expenditure

General Fund is on target with operating expenditure at 73% of the revised budget. The March Quarterly Budget Review Statement recommends an expenditure increase of $913K, made up of:

· $299K increase for Open Spaces, of which $200K is for tree management and $99K offset by revenue.

· $211K increase for Roads and Transport, of which $100K is funded from Plant and Fleet Reserve, and $111K is offset by reimbursement of street lighting expenses.

· $184K increase for Internal Corporate Services, of which $72K is offset by additional internal revenue, and $200K offset by Plant and Fleet Reserve, and a net reduction of $88K from within Finance and Corporate Services.

· $98K increase for Land Use Planning, of which $143K is proponent funded, and $40K has been returned to the General Fund as the Citywide LEP & DCP project has been completed.

· $69K decrease for Governance and Civic, $54 of which relates to final costs for the election being less than budgeted and $15K relates to a transfer for the community reference panel

· $66K increase for Environmental and Natural Areas, $50K of which relates to a Grant received for South Mollymook, $16K relates to private works expenditure (offsetting revenue)

· $58K increase for Buildings. $50K of which relates to offsetting internal revenue, $19K relates to MIN16.988 from Property Reserve & $10K transfer to non-operating expenditure for capital purchases

· $29K increase for Economic Development, of which $5K is a grant received for Business Networking, $20K is a transfer from capital for operational works and $4K is a recovery of prior expenses.

Non-Operating Expenditure

Capital Expenditure as at 31^st March is 42% of the revised budget (excluding commitments). The March Quarterly Budget Review Statement recommends a budget decrease of $1.14M. This decrease consists of:

· $1.96M decrease for Economic Development due to the following - cashflowing of Ulladulla Harbour Berthing facility ($1.13M cashflowed to 17/18, $400K being third party); $400K uncommitted funds returned to reserve for expenditure in 2017/18; $20K transfer to operating expenditure for maintenance on Industrial Land.

· $100K increase for Entertainment Centre from Asset Compliance Reserve for compliance works.

· $192K decrease for Management and Support - $40K transfer to operating, $152K return to plant and fleet reserve.

· $623K overall increase for Roads & Transport, comprising a $122K increase for additional heavy patching and sealing projects, funded from plant and fleet reserve; $350K grant from Better Boating for Waterways infrastructure; $94K of expenditure offset by early recognition of 2017/18 grant funds, $10K from section 94 recoupment for Winnima Lane

· $233K increase for Waste plant, funded by reserve.

· Rural Fire Service – a number of projects have been completed on behalf of the RFS, however, there are four projects where the grant funding allocated has been insufficient. Two notable projects in this category are the construction of the West Nowra Fire Station (shortfall of $115K) and the Group Support facilities (shortfall of $46K). Preliminary discussions have commenced with the RFS in order to work through these funding issues.

Asset Sales

Asset sales are at 79% of the revised budget. An increase of $201K has been recommended this quarter, relating to the sales of industrial lands exceeding forecast, and are offset by reserve movement.

Key Performance Indicators

Operating Performance Ratio: The slight decline in this ratio relates to the increase in operating expenditure being more than the increase in income (excluding Capital Grants and Contributions).

Own Source Operating Revenue Ratio: This is remaining consistent.

Unrestricted Current Ratio: The main reason for the improvement in this ratio, is due to the cash flowing of projects in line with their predicted rate of spend. This has resulted in a projected increase in unrestricted cash as at 30 June 2017.

Debt Service Cover Ratio: This is remaining consistent.

Rates, Annual Charges Ratio: This is remaining consistent.

Cash Expense Cover Ratio: This has improved due to a projected increase in cash as at 30 June 2017.

Infrastructure Renewal Ratio: The 2015/16 results (based on actual spend) for General Fund was 53.0%. The projected year end budget result currently stands at 74.3%, which is an increase over the original 2016/17 budget at 58.3%. The projected year end budget result also assumes that all funds committed to Infrastructure projects will be fully expended by 30 June 2017. Should any projects not be completed during 2016/17 (this will be determined during the June quarterly review), the projected year end result will be adjusted accordingly. Projects added during this quarterly review which have increased this ratio are related to Grants (Better Boating Now & Black Spot) and an increase to the Local Roads Repair Programme, funded from Plant & Fleet Reserve.

Infrastructure Backlog Ratio: This is remaining consistent.

Asset Maintenance Ratio: The improvement in this ratio when compared to the 2015/16 Results is due to Council’s continued focus on maintaining our assets. The Original Budget for 2016/17 contained expenditure increases to allow for this. During the course of the financial year to date, it has become apparent that some categories of assets have required additional funding. These areas are Parks, Roads and Tree Maintenance, which is why the indicator has risen from 0.97 (taking into account the original budget, as well as carry forwards and revotes from 2015/16 year) to the projected year end result of 1.07.

General Manager’s Group

The recommended budget changes, revised budget and result to date for the General Manager’s Group are summarised below, details of the adjustments and variances are included in the March Quarterly Budget Review Statement.

General Manager’s Comments:

Results to date are considered satisfactory. In addition to the comments included above in the overall General Fund summary the revenue adjustments also includes an additional $56k cost recovery for legal services (offset by expenditure increase) and an extra $10k for Conduct review expenses.

Finance, Corporate and Community Services

The recommended budget changes, revised budget and result to date for the Finance, Corporate and Community Services Group are summarised below, details of the adjustments and variances are included in the March Quarterly Budget Review Statement.

Group Director’s Comments:

This quarter has seen an increase in Section 94 receipts due to a high level of development activity in the Shoalhaven. The operating expenditure for the group is tracking well, slightly below the 75% mark. Captial Works is currently 17% spent, the key project in this group is the Shoalhaven Indoor Sports Centre. Zauner construction have been directed to proceed with the Trade packages with a construction budget of approximately $10.7M that has been previously allocated by Council for 2017/18; the fitout budget is still required. Civil works package for the Sports Centre have been advertised and minor works packages such as Traffic Control have been awarded.

An adjustment to the non-operating expenditure of $100K relates to BCA compliance works to be undertaken at the Shoalhaven Entertainment Centre.

Planning, Environment and Development Services

The recommended budget changes, revised budget and result to date for the Planning, Environment and Development Services Group are summarised below, details of the adjustments and variances are included in the March Quarterly Budget Review Statement.

Group Director’s Comments:

Revenue is tracking strongly given the continued high level of development activity; in this respect it is slightly above expectations. Grant funds related to the East Coast Low (recognised in budgets last quarterly review) will be received upon achievement of milestones, and this is skewing the income percentage. Expenditure is on track.

Small Lot Rural Subdivision

Nebraska Estate: $69,333 remains for progressing rezoning investigations.

Verons Estate: The $150,000 borrowed in 2006 to fund the rezoning investigations has been fully spent. A total of $25,000 has now been transferred from the Strategic Planning Consultants budget, which has been overspent by $1,413. During the fourth quarter review, it will be considered if the overspend should be transferred from Verons road construction. Further transfer(s) may be necessary to complete the project.

Road investigations and construction: The balance of the roadwork design budget for Nebraska Estate for 2016/2017 is $10,646. The balance of the construction budgets for Jerberra, Verons and Nebraska Estates for 2016/2017 are $3.1M, $5,764 and $13,519 respectively.

Assets and Works

The recommended budget changes, revised budget and result to date for the Assets and Works Group are summarised below, details of the adjustments and variances are included in the March Quarterly Budget Review Statement.

Group Director’s Comments:

Operating expenditure is tracking well and each Section of the Assets and Works Group operated close to budget, with operational expenditure being on target at 74%.

Large capital projects that were grant funded have commenced such as Naval College Road widening and Woodburn Road hazard removal (Federal Blackspot) and Culburra Road widening and upgrade (State). A number of major road upgrades have also commenced such as Prince Edward Avenue, Coolangatta Road and Beach Road renewals. A key project in the program is the upgrade of the full length of Flinders Road, with the award of a contract determined in April and substantial changes to underground services already completed.

Another key project is the Shoalhaven Indoor Sports Centre. Zauner construction have been directed to proceed with the Trade packages with a construction budget of approximately $10.7M that has been previously allocated by Council for 2017/18; the fitout budget is still required. Civil works package for the Sports Centre have been advertised and minor works packages such as Traffic Control awarded.

The northern Ulladulla Harbour boat ramp upgrade and jetty has commenced and documents have been finalised for Fisherman’s paradise pontoon on Lake Conjola and Dent Street paddle craft launching area on Currambene Creek. Recent boat ramp upgrades have exceeded the budget, due to poor ground conditions adjacent to some of these works; additional funds have been sourced from RMS, through the Better Boating Now Program, and will partly offset the overrun.

A key issue was the significant wet weather that has delayed major road projects at Culburra, with an impact on those planned for Greenwell Point Road and Albatross Road. This may lead to works continuing into the 2017/18 financial year.

Stormwater Levy

Spending against the Stormwater Levy is 48% of budget.

Group Director’s Comments:

Drainage was completed early in the third quarter at Penguins Head Road, Culburra and pipes and associated pits have been ordered for the Greenwell Point Road and Bolong Road drainage projects.

St Andrews Way, Coolangatta and The Park Drive, Sanctuary Point continue to be delayed due to land matters. During Quarter 4, there may be an opportunity to transfer funds from these works to the Bolong Road drainage, which is associated with flooding adjacent to the sports ovals.

Special Rate Variation

Spending against the Special Rate Variation is 33% of budget.

Group Director’s Comments:

Coolangatta Road works has commenced and is progressing well and the services have been relocated at the intersection with Bolong Road. Agars Lane Sealing has been completed and costs will be finalised in the next quarter.

The Streetscape improvements at Jacobs Drive, Sussex Inlet are only funded for Stage 1. Numerous representations have been made by the CCB and the Business Chamber to fund the full scope. However, additional funds haven’t been allocated and works will proceed for this Stage only, unless a funding source is identified for Stage 2.

Shoalhaven Water (General Fund)

The recommended budget changes, revised budget and result to date for the Shoalhaven Water Group (General Fund) are summarised below. Details of the adjustments and variances are included in the March Quarterly Budget Review Statement.

Group Director’s Comments:

The Shoalhaven Water General Fund Group is operating on target, with operational expenditure and revenue tracking at 76% of budget. The adjustment to operating expenditure mainly relates to the demolition of the old Cambewarra communication tower.

Water Fund

The budget adopted by Council produced an operating profit of $1M, an operating profit before Capital Grants and Contributions of $27K and a reduction in cash and investments of $13M. The revotes carried forward and adjustments made in this quarterly review have resulted in the following:

Revenue

As at 31^st March, Water Fund has achieved 86% of the revised budget. An adjustment of $845K is recommended, mainly due to resource recoupment, insurance claims received after the June 2016 storm event, an increase in water connection installs and additional section 64 receipts.

Operating Expenditure

Water Fund is on target with operating expenditure at 74% of the revised budget. The March Quarterly Budget Review Statement recommends an increase of $95K. This increase mainly relates to a budget transfer from non-operating expenditure of $40k, due to the reclassification of an expenditure type, and contract negotiations for the communication towers $50k.

Non-Operating Expenditure

Capital Expenditure as at 31^st March is 61% of the revised budget (excluding commitments). A reduction of $1.748M is recommended after reviewing the timing of a number of key projects and the tender for the water main replacement between Burrill Lake and Lake Tabourie coming in under budget $1M.

Asset Sales

Asset sales is at 86% of the revised budget, there is an adjustment of $17K recommended.

Cashflow – Financing Activities

An adjustment of $7k is recommended to align the dividend payment with the financial statements.

Key Performance Indicators

Operating Performance Ratio: The increase in this ratio relates to the additional income expected, when compared to the operating expenditure.

Own Source Operating Revenue Ratio: This has slightly decreased due to the additional Section 64 contributions expected.

Debt Service Cover Ratio: This ratio is high due to this year being the final year for loan repayments.

Rates, Annual Charges Ratio: This is remaining consistent.

Cash Expense Cover Ratio: This has improved due to a projected increase in cash as at 30 June 2017.

Infrastructure Renewal Ratio: This ratio has reduced, due to the cash flowing of projects to 2017/18 financial year.

Infrastructure Backlog Ratio: There is no backlog.

Asset Maintenance Ratio: This is remaining consistent.

Group Director’s Comments:

The Water Fund is operating on target, with operational expenditure at 74% and revenue tracking slightly higher at 86% of budget. The adjustment to revenue relates to Section 64 income tracking higher than expected due to increased developer activity, resource reallocations and an insurance claim received after the storm event in June 2016. The capital program is progressing and requires a number of adjustments this quarter. These adjustments mainly relate to the water main replacement between Burrill Lake & Lake Tabourie coming in under budget and the reforecasting of cashflow on a number of capital projects. The reforecasting adjustments have been included in the budget on exhibition.

Sewer Fund

The budget adopted by Council produced an operating profit of $12.2M, an operating profit before Capital Grants and Contributions of $11.2M and a reduction in cash and investments of $6M. The revotes carried forward and adjustments made in this quarterly review have resulted in the following:

The recommended budget changes, revised budget and result to date for the Shoalhaven Water Group (Sewer Fund) are summarised below. Details of the adjustments and variances are included in the March Quarterly Budget Review Statement.

Revenue

As at 31^st March, Sewer Fund has achieved 80% of the revised budget. An adjustment of $1,352K recommended for this review. The major adjustments include increases to: section 64 receipts, chargeable private works and other income received from fees and charges, trade waste income increased with higher usage and the reforecasting of interest received, due to changes in the timing of capital disbursements.

Operating Expenditure

Sewer Fund is slightly below target with operating expenditure at 71% of the revised budget. The March Quarterly Budget Review Statement recommends an increase of $20K mainly due to a budget transfer from non-operating expenditure of ($20k) due to the reclassification of an expenditure type.

Non-Operating Expenditure

Capital Expenditure as at 31^st March is 41% of the revised budget (excluding commitments). A reduction of $29.949M is recommended, mainly due to reforecasting the REMS1B cashflow.

Asset Sales

Asset sales are at 96% of the revised budget, no adjustments are required.

Cashflow – Financing Activities

An adjustment of $73k is recommended to align the dividend payment with the financial statements.

Key Performance Indicators

Operating Performance Ratio: The increase in this ratio relates to the additional income expected, when compared to the operating expenditure.

Own Source Operating Revenue Ratio: This has slightly decreased due to the additional Section 64 contributions expected.

Debt Service Cover Ratio: This ratio has improved as the increase in projected income has been higher than the increase in projected operating expenditure.

Rates, Annual Charges Ratio: This is remaining consistent.

Cash Expense Cover Ratio: This has improved due to a projected increase in cash as at 30 June 2017.

Infrastructure Renewal Ratio: This ratio has reduced, due to the cash flowing of projects to 2017/18 financial year.

Infrastructure Backlog Ratio: There is no backlog.

Asset Maintenance Ratio: This is remaining consistent.

Group Director’s Comments:

The Sewer Fund has operated close to budget over the last nine months, with operational expenditure on target at 71% and operating revenue tracking slightly above budget at 80%. The capital program is progressing and requires a number of adjustments this quarter. These adjustments mainly relate to reforecasting the cash flow for the REMS1B project. These adjustments have been included in the budget on exhibition.

Financial Implications

Adjustments made in the March quarter budget review have resulted in a continued projected cash deficit budget. The current projected cash deficit is $990K. Council will need to be mindful of the situation and not introduce new works or services unless a funding source is clearly identified.

4. Report - Future operations and management of Nowra Showground - Strategy & Assets Committee 18 April 2017 (councillors information folder) ⇨

Purpose / Summary

To address MIN 16.886:

Recommendation (Item to be determined under delegated authority)

That Council:

1. Continue to retain existing arrangements at Nowra Showground which involves daily Ranger site visits.

2. Consider an allocation of $10,000 in 2017/18 to develop a Nowra Showground Review and Strategy which will consider but not limited to the future camping, caravanning and management structure options.

3. Consider an allocation of $354,000 in 2017/18 budget to undertake identified road sealing and maintenance works.

4. In partnership with the Nowra Show Society, continue to seek funding to undertake embellishments such as arena fencing, seating and painting.

5. Complete the resolution (MIN16.706) to transition the current 355 Management Committee for Nowra Communal Hall to an occupancy agreement as per the adopted resolution in October 2016.

Options

1. Adopt all of the recommendations without amendment and provide further directions to staff.

Implications: This would allow Council to progress matters in a timely and direct manner.

2. Adopt some or all of the recommendations with amendments and provide further directions for staff.

Implications: Unknown until the amended recommendations are known.

3. Not adopt the recommendations and provide an alternate resolution with directions for staff.

Implications: Could delay any improvements on the matters outlined and further accentuate any community unrest.

Background

At Council’s Ordinary Meeting of 22 December 2016, Council resolved:

“That staff prepare a report to Council on a suite of improvements and approximate costs that could improve the Nowra Showgrounds, including but not limited to improving the lookout and picnic facilities, sealing of the roads within the showgrounds, landscaping and demarcation for camping. NOTE: The Mayor amended the content of the Mayoral Minutes to reflect that Council is continuing to work through the homelessness issue within the showgrounds area” (MIN 16.886)

To assist Council staff in their research, the Nowra Showground Ideas Day was held on 26 February 2017. This event facilitated ideas from over 70 community members (including current users, neighbours, residents and community) regarding improvements to the showground.

There was a wide variety of issues discussed however three main ideas formed the key suggestions - for a full overview of discussions see Attachment 1 - Nowra Showground Ideas Day Feedback.

The three key suggestions were:

1. To establish a Nowra Showground Caretaker

2. To complete road upgrades

3. To undertake a review of how the showground is used (including but not limited to camping and caravanning) and to establish a strategy for future use of the site.

1. Caretaker

The most broadly supported suggestion that came out of the Ideas Day was the implementation of a caretaker at the showground. This was suggested primarily as a means of addressing the issue of homeless people residing at the site, however is also seen as a way of better monitoring, maintaining and managing the site.

If Council were to pursue the establishment of a caretaker, there are a number of matters that would need to be considered – they include:

· The context and definition of a ‘caretaker’ – defining their roles and responsibilities and their jurisdictional authority

· Human resourcing and costs of a caretaker, estimated to be approx. $130,000 per year, plus call out fees for out of hours calls, and relief manager costs (to cover leave) of approx. $1,800 per week

· Establishment of a caretaker cottage, which would need a Development Application and which would need to be an option through the Plan of Management for the site (currently under Aboriginal land claim) . It may be possible to have a nearby resident take on this role, however the feedback from residents at the Ideas Day was for an ‘on site” caretaker.

There is a history of Council discussions, activities and decisions that need to be understood when considering suggestions about the management of the Nowra Showground – a timeline is provided below.

October 2016 – at Council’s Ordinary Meeting on 4 October 2016, in relation to a number of existing Section 355 Management Committees, Council resolved MIN16.706 part (3):

“The following Section 355 Management Committees be renewed, however discussions commence to transition these Committees to an occupancy agreement within 2 years:

a. Ahimsa Sailing Club Management Committee

b. Jervis Bay Maritime Museum

c. Nowra Communal Hall

d. Vincentia Sailing Club

e. West Street Oval”

Council’s Property Unit is working towards an occupancy agreement with Nowra Showground Gymnastics in relation to the Nowra Communal Hall.

February 2017 – on 26 February 2017, Council staff held the Nowra Showground Ideas Day to explore a range of ideas and solutions to improve the Showground. The most popular idea put forward at the event was the establishment of a caretaker.

April 2017 – at Council’s Ordinary Council Meeting on 26 April 2017, in relation to future operations and management of Nowra Showground Council resolved:

MOTION (RESOLVED) (Clr Gash / Clr Pakes) MIN17.335

That Council:

2. Defer advertising for members of the Section 355 Management Committee until the results of the Nowra Showground Ideas Day are known and further negotiations are held with the Nowra Show Society.

3. Reconsider the caretaker model following a report in May with the community feedback

4. Increase the 2017/18 budget for the Ranger site visits and security night patrols to the Nowra Showground to ensure adequate surveillance and enforcement of compliance requirements.

5. Receive a further report at its May 2017 Strategy and Assets Committee Meeting regarding feedback from the Nowra Showground Ideas Day held with the community to address Council

The above timeline demonstrates the recent history of changes in decisions, suggestions and recommendations that have been made in relation to the land use and management of the Nowra Showground.

The most recent recommendation is to establish a Section 355 Management Committee for the Nowra Showground. If this is to be pursued, Council, along with any applicants for the Nowra Showground Management Committee roles would need to be made aware of the functions and responsibilities involved this.

Full details of Management Committee roles, functions and responsibilities are provided in Attachment 2 – Management Committee Guidelines.

The Nowra Show Society has a strong objection towards continuation and membership of the current Section 355 Management Committee for the Nowra Communal Hall as outlined in their letter which is provided as an attachment to the report – Attachment 3.

For the above mentioned points, the establishment of a Section 355 Management Committee for the Nowra Showground or continuation / renewal of a Section 355 Management Committee for the Nowra Communal Hall should be considered with caution.

These considerations and others are outlined in full detail in Attachment 4 - ‘Future operations and management of Nowra Showground’ (SA17.101) along with information about the existing cottage on site which is currently licensed to three (3) community groups until 2024.

2. Road upgrades

There were several requests for the roads within the showground to be improved/resealed. Council’s Asset Team have also identified the need to reseal the roads, in particular, the western perimeter road, the road from the main gate to the lookout, and the car parks adjacent to the arena.

The complete cost for this project is approximated at $354,000, it is identified on Councils work schedules and is currently unfunded. Council have identified this work as part of the Expression of Interest submission for the Environment and Tourism Grant, which is also for embellishments to the cattle yards, improvements to the camping facilities, roadworks and drainage.

3. Showground review and strategy

The community put forward the suggestion to review current use of the showground (to include camping and caravanning use) and to establish a strategy to enhance future use of the site.

Such a process could include a review of current and future camping and caravanning, other possible land uses of the site and suitable management frameworks (including but not limited to a caretaker and/or a Section 355 Management Committee or other options). It is estimated this process would cost approx. $10,000.

Other improvements

Council has recently applied to Crown Lands Public Reserves Management Fund Program to seek funding for the completion of the fencing, replacement of the wooden seating in the showground around the main arena and for tiered seating in the added area. If this grant is unsuccessful Council will continue to seek funds to complete these much needed works. The costs of these works are estimated at $100,000 and are currently unfunded.

An allocation of $600,000 had been made in the draft 2018/19 budget for repainting and refurbishing buildings in the Showground. These funds were to come from Special Rate Variation revenue. However, following IPART’s recent decision not to grant the SRV beyond 2017/18, the building works are currently unfunded.

The Nowra Show Society are currently seeking a Heritage Grant in consultation with Council and Council’s Heritage Advisor to seek solutions to address the leak in the roof of the pavilion and works to rectify damages that have occurred. The costs to rectify this are unknown and subject to investigation works for which the funding is being sourced via a grant funding application.

Community Engagement

On 26 February, 2017, the Social Infrastructure and Planning and Community Development Units held the Nowra Ideas Day. At this event Council staff worked cohesively with representatives from the Nowra Show Society and 70 community members to explore and discuss issues and solutions to improve the showground.

The community had identified its priorities within the facilitated workshop. Further engagement was available to those who could not attend via the ‘Council’s Get Involved Page’.

Policy Implications

Nowra Showground Review and Strategy

The current Plan of Management for the Nowra Showgrounds provides guidance and direction on various uses of the site. Any recommendations that result from the review and subsequent strategy would need to be in line with any legislative and policy guidelines referenced in the Plan of Management. These would need to be incorporated into the revised Plan of Management.

It should be noted that at the present time the Nowra Showground is impacted by the current Aboriginal land claim on all Crown lands.

If a Section 355 Management Committee for Nowra Showground is to be established for the showground and its facilities, the management committee would need to adhere to all of the roles and responsibilities as outlined in the Management Committee Guidelines (attachment 2).

Financial Implications

Council currently do not have any funds allocated for this project. Anticipated costs would be:

· Increase Ranger site visits and security night patrols – Ranger wages (to visit mornings and afternoons) at approx. $60,000 per year

· Extra security patrols (2 extra visits per day) would cost an additional $20 per day which equates to $7,280 per year.

· Nowra Showground Review and Strategy – based on similar works, an external consultant would cost approx. $10,000 to complete this review.

· Road upgrades – it is estimated these works would cost approx. $354,000. Council currently have no allocated funds.

· Completion of the fencing, replacement of the wooden seating in the showground around the main arena and for tiered seating in the added area. The costs of these works are estimated at $100,000

· Internal and external painting of the pavilion and committee room, including the public toilets - approx. $410,000

· Investigation of the leak in the pavilion – estimate up to $40,000

· Costs to rectify - this is unknown and subject to the outcome of the investigation works

The total of these current identified works are $981,280.

It is proposed at this stage that Council should:

· Continue to retain existing arrangements at Nowra Showground which involves daily Ranger site visits and

· Increase the 2017/18 budget for the additional Ranger site visits and security night patrols to the Nowra Showground to ensure adequate surveillance and enforcement of compliance requirements.

· Allocate $10,000 in 2017/18 to develop a Nowra Showground Review and Strategy which will consider but not limited to the future camping, caravanning and management structure options.

· Allocate $354,000 in 2017/18 budget to undertake identified road sealing and maintenance works.

Risk Implications

Community wellbeing (including residents, users of the show ground facilities and the homeless) could be further negatively impacted if these matters are not addressed in a timely, careful and sensitive manner.

SA17.129 Outdoor dining on public footpaths - Review of fee waiver

HPERM Ref: D17/122659

Group: Assets & Works Group

Section: Business & Property

Purpose / Summary

To review the current practice of waiving annual outdoor dinning fees for users of public footpaths.

Recommendation

Council reintroduce annual outdoor dining fees for the use and occupation of public footpaths across the Shoalhaven at the flat rate of $62.4/m² per annum and an application fee of $161.2, commencing 1^st July 2017.

Options

1. Adopt the recommendation

Implications: Council will gain a source of revenue to assist in supporting financial sustainability. This would be similar to other Councils charging the users and occupiers of public footpaths, resulting in an increase to Council’s revenue base. The fee is currently in the Fees and Charges and has been advertised but is waived.

2. Not adopt the recommendation, provide further direction to staff and propose an alternative

Implications: Will result in the status quo - continuation of not charging for the occupation and use of public footpaths with Council foregoing revenue generating opportunities. Service levels remain the same.

Background

Currently Council grants approvals for outdoor dining on public footpaths under Section 125 of the Roads Act 1993, and in accordance with the progression of the following Council resolutions:

At Council’s Ordinary meeting on Tuesday 9^th June 2009 it was resolved in part (MIN09.732) to:

a) Council resolve to prepare a draft DCP for the Commercial Use of Public Footpaths and place this document on public exhibition in accordance with Clause 18 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment (EP&A) Regulation 2000 and that this draft DCP be incorporated into Council’s draft citywide DCP 2009;

b) In the spirit of encouraging the uptake of future applications for alfresco dining in the Shoalhaven, Council set the current fee for the licencing component for alfresco dining on public footpaths as; no licence fees for the first two years, a 50% reduction for the life of the alfresco dining, and retains the 50% reduction in DA fees, but completely removes the Section 94 Developers Contribution component for off-street car parking in the assessment of DAs for out-door dining within Council’s footpath reserve;

Whilst the intention of the above MIN09.732 was to encourage the uptake of outdoor dining on public footpaths in the City, it did not produce the desired outcome. Informal feedback from businesses indicated the pricing system under MIN09.732, in particular exemptions and discounts, was confusing as was the need for a second approval after development consent and the fact that some businesses had been carrying out the activity for years without hinderance. Consequently there were more non-compliant businesses occupying public footpaths for outdoor dining than compliant.

A report to Council’s Ordinary meeting on Tuesday 26^th March 2013 that looked to address the above noted issue and in an attempt to simplify the charging regime resulted in the resolution under MIN13.303 in part:

c) A two year trial on not charging licence fees be undertaken

Subsequently a review was undertaken in March 2015 that resulted in a report to Council’s Property Steering Committee on the 3^rd March 2015 and a resolution under delegation to:

“…….continue not to charge annual fees for Outdoor Dining on public footpath subject to the following conditions:

a) Review be undertaken in 2 years; and

b) Council review the decision to charge fees if Outdoor Dining becomes difficult to manage in a particular footpath area.

c) That correspondence be sent to relevant Business Owners (food shops) in CBD areas to inform them of Councils Policy.”

Notwithstanding the review period had not expired, Council resolved in part at Council’s Ordinary meeting on the 15^th March 2016 (MIN16.196) as part of the adoption of the 2016/2017 list of fees, charges and rentals to:

b) Continue to not charge annual fees for Outdoor Dining on public footpaths until 1 July 2017 and that this be subject to a further review as part of the 2017/18 budget process.

Financial Implications

Council has 51 outdoor dining approvals in place across the Shoalhaven, where an initial application fee of $155 is currently charged this is proposed as $161.20 in 2017/18. The table below shows the current level of outdoor dining approvals, listed by year:

Calander year	No of Approvals granted
Pre 2013	3
2013	7
2014	10
2015	16
2016	11
2017 to April	4
Total	51

At the fixed rate of $60/m²Council is currently foregoing $25,000 to $30,000 pa in fees across the 51 approvals. Since the inception of fee waiving Council has foregone income of between approximately $100,000 and $120,000.

The table below shows a comparison to a cross section of other Councils fees and charges for outdoor dining applications and rate per m²compared to the Shoalhaven:

Council Area	Application fee $	Charge rate per m²	Comment
Cronulla	165	90 – 310	4 zones
Griffith	145	52	Flat rate
Port Macquarie	377	62 – 142	Currently 1 year waiver for Wauchope & Laurieton only
Kiama	260		Charge per chair
Hornsby	270	270	Flat rate except Hornsby Mall at $539
Tweed	350	91 or 143	Two rates – other & CBD
Ballina	165	18 – 56	Multiple rates
Lake Macquarie	410	75 or 135	Two tiers
Wingecarribee		48 or 162	Other and premium
Eurobodalla	163	91 or 124	Other & Batemans Bay
Shoalhaven	161.2	0	Draft 2017/18

Risk Implications

Should outdoor dining fees be reintroduced, businesses may not continue to offer outdoor dining on the public footpath, restricting amenity and impacting on the ability to encourage vibrant streetscapes.

As is the case with the introduction of a new fee, the reintroduction of a waived fee, especially after 4 years, will have risk attached. In this case the risk of losing al fresco dining in the streetscape neeeds to be considered.

Council has an opportunity to gain additional revenue which supports the financial sustainability of Council.

SA17.136 Triple Bottom Line (TBL) Performance Reporting 2015-2016

HPERM Ref: D17/113031

Group: Shoalhaven Water Group

Section: Water Customer & Business Services

Attachments: 1. WS TBL 2015-16 Shoalhaven (councillors information folder) ⇨

2. SGE TBL 2015-16 Shoalhaven (councillors information folder) ⇨

Purpose / Summary

The purpose of this report is to inform Council of the outcomes for Shoalhaven Water as contained within the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) – Water, Triple Bottom Line Reporting.

The TBL is provided to Council’s each year to assist in the benchmarking process for NSW Local Government Water Utilities (LWU’s) and to allow Councils to make comparisons of their performance in respect of Water Supply and Sewerage services.

It is a requirement for Councils to review and provide an action plan addressing any areas of “under performance” identified in the TBL and this is to ensure compliance with the NSW Government Best Practice Management of Water Supply and Sewerage Guidelines.

Recommendation (Item to be determined under delegated authority)

That the information in this report be noted and council acknowledge the excellent results.

Options

1. Adopt the recommendation

2. Council can add to any of the proposed Action Plan responses to the TBL or seek additonal information on any of the indicator results.

Implications: May be governed by any additions to the proposed Action Plan.

3. Not resolve as recommended and provide further directions to staff.

Background

Following an analysis by the DPI Water, the TBL performance reports are made available to Water Utilities for comparison approximately 12 months after the end of each financial year to which they refer. The results and action plan must be reported to Council in order to comply with the Water Supply and Sewerage Best Practice Management Guidelines

The TBL has four broad Performance Indicators (Utility, Social, Environmental and Economic) and a subset of seven parameters (water) and eight parameters (sewer) to which performance is linked. Performance is also measured against National trends where applicable via the Bureau of Meteorology Urban Utility Reporting mechanism. A full copy of the 2015/2016 TBL Water and Sewerage Performance Comparison is located in the Councillors Information folder.

Whilst the TBL provides a ranking for Shoalhaven Water for each criteria against all LWU’s and those with > 10,000 properties, a low numerical ranking is not necessarily reflective of a negative result. For example, low water charges are given a low ranking and Shoalhaven is ranked 5 for its Typical Residential Bill for Water (which means it has one of the lowest bills in the category). Interpretation of the tabular results therefore needs to be done in an informed manner. Shoalhaven Water received a total of seven results across both its water and sewer businesses in the ranking of 5. A ranking of 5 indicates performance in the bottom 20% of utilities.

	Water	Sewer	Total
Shoalhaven Water	4	3	7

It should be noted that 3 of the 4 water business low rankings shown above for Shoalhaven Water were due to the low charge applied for water supply services. This is not considered to be a poor result for customers.

In summary, the TBL revealed positive key results highlighted by the DPI Water analysis including;
