Issue

To consider the nomination of Alison Pritchard to fill the Community Representative vacancy on the Wanneroo Tourism Committee (WTC)

Background

A vacancy has arisen for a Community Representative on the WTC, due to the resignation of Kim Cream, Marketing Coordinator for Yanchep National Park, from CALM. There are 7 Community Representatives on the committee. Each of these provides input for specific areas of tourism which are significant in Wanneroo. They are: Jennifer Harrison, Marketing Manager, Barbagallo Raceway; Paul Woodcock, Proprietor, Wanneroo Botanical Golf; Martin Smith, General Manager, Mindarie Marina; Bob Fawcett, Executive Officer, Wanneroo Business Association; Gordon Lamb, Proprietor, Yanchep Stables; Chris Waddell, Resident, Carabooda & General Manager, Corporate Affairs, Yanchep Sun City.

Detail

Yanchep National Park has nominated a new candidate for this vacancy. The new candidate is Alison Pritchard, Marketing-Coordinator for YNP.

Comment

Yanchep National Park is the most iconic Tourism Attraction in the City of Wanneroo. The City of Wanneroo has maintained a very close relationship with YNP ever since its creation in the 1930s.

Today CALM has significant plans for YNP to re-establish its unique status across metropolitan Perth. It is currently going through a significant re-branding exercise, extra promotion is being given to its separate facilities including the Caves, the Kiosk and Koala enclosure. It aims to claw back the high visitation numbers which have diminished over recent years, impacted in part by the bush fire in 2004. Accommodation at the Yanchep Inn is currently being extended making it the largest hotel style accommodation provider in the City.

CALM is committed to tourism and to the Tourism Strategy of the City of Wanneroo. It wishes to retain its position on the committee to ensure its contribution is effective. Its nominee has already shown to be an enthusiastic contributor at the SCTA meetings and has familiarised herself with key players across the City.

Statutory Compliance

Strategic Implications

This report aligns to the City's Strategic Plan and Tourism Strategy. In particular, one of the six outcome objectives under the Economic area of the City's strategic focus is to increase tourism within the region. In addition, the City's strategic plan includes an outcome objective under the Social area to improve the City's identity and community well-being through arts, culture, leisure and recreation. As the most iconic tourism attraction in the City of Wanneroo, it is appropriate that Yanchep National Park is represented on the board of the Tourism Committee.

Issue

To consider the permanent closure of part of a road reserve and the amalgamation of the land therein into an adjoining property.

Background

Dedicated road reserve number 1878 connects Callaway Street and Gnangara Road, Wangara. It was created several years ago but has never been named and is not constructed. The surrounding land is currently being subdivided for industrial purposes and part of the road reserve is to be incorporated into some of the new lots.

Detail

The subject road reserve is shown at Attachment 1. It is proposed to close a length of 112 metres at the eastern end, except for a 25 square metre section that is to be used for a Western Power transformer unit. The remainder of the road reserve to the west will be constructed and incorporated into the proposed industrial subdivision.

A triangular section comprising about 185 square metres at the eastern end abutting Lot 8 will remain pending an application by the owner of that land for its closure.

Consultation

Notification of the requested closure was given in the “Wanneroo Times” newspaper on 30 May 2006. No submissions were received in the 35 day submission period.

The public utilities were consulted and it has been ascertained that no services will be affected.

Comment

Closure of the road reserve will not diminish public amenity in the locality.

Statutory Compliance

The closure of road reserves is effected under Section 58 of the Land Administration Act 1997, which provides that a local government may resolve to request the Minister for Lands to close a road after it has given 35 days public notification of the proposal in a newspaper circulating in the district and has considered any objections received.

When closed the land within the road reserve becomes unallocated Crown land. Section 74 of the Land Administration Act 1997, empowers the Minister for Lands to sell Crown land by public auction, public tender or private treaty under such terms and conditions as the Minister sees fit.

Strategic Implications

The closure of the road reserve is consistent with the Economic Outcome Objective of the City’s Strategic Plan by increasing the availability of serviced industrial land.

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The road closure and land division will not involve any expenditure by Council.

Voting Requirements

Simple Majority

EndStrip - This line will not be printed Please do NOT delete

Recommendation

That Council:-

1. SUPPORTS the closure of part of dedicated road reserve number 1878 Wangara as shown on Attachment 1 to this report.

2. SUPPORTS the amalgamation of the closed road reserve into the adjoining landholding, subject to the owner meeting all costs involved.

3. REQUESTS the Minister for Lands to close and dispose of the road reserve in accordance with the Land Administration Act 1997.

Issue

To consider Tender No 06065 – the Supply and Delivery of PVC Pipe, Fittings and Irrigation Sprinklers for a period of one year.

Background

The City is responsible for the maintenance and installation of irrigation systems for public open spaces. Previously, the supply and delivery of PVC pipes and fittings, and the supply and delivery of irrigation sprinklers was supplied via two separate contracts as follows:

Contract No 03322 - the Supply and Delivery of PVC Pipes and Fittings for a period of Two Years was awarded to Total Eden Watering Systems. The contract commenced 1 December 2003 and prior to the contract expiry date on 30 November 2005, was extended for an additional twelve months to 30 November 2006.

Contract No 04414 - the Supply and Delivery of Irrigation Sprinklers for a period of Twelve Months was awarded to Total Eden Watering Systems. The contract commenced 1 December 2004 and prior to the contract expiry date on 30 November 2005, was extended for an additional Twelve Months to 30 November 2006.

It was determined after market testing that a number of suppliers are capable and interested in supplying both pvc pipes/fittings and irrigation sprinklers. It was decided to combine Contract No 03322 and Contract No 04414 to form one tender.

Due to the volatile petroleum market, which is used in the manufacture of fittings, the proposed contract is for a period of one year.

As both Contract Nos 03322 and 04414 expire on 30 November 2006, it was timely to merge the two contracts and advertise as a tender on 4October 2006.

Detail

Tender No 06065 for the Supply and Delivery of PVC Pipes, Fittings and Irrigation Sprinklers for a period of One Year was advertised on 4 October 2006 and closed on 18 October 2006.

Essential details of the new contract are shown in the following table:

Contract Type:	Schedule of Rates
Contract Duration:	One Year
Commencement Date:	1November 2006
Expiry Date:	31 October 2007
Extension Permitted:	Yes (Up to 12 months or part thereof).

Issue

To consider the provision of parking prohibitions on James Cook Avenue, Santa Barbara Parade, Palm Corner, Sirius Ramble and Yorlor Way, Quinns Rocks.

Background

The Quinns Beach Primary School’s Road Safety Committee and local residents have raised this issue. Currently parents are parking on any available area of the carriageway or nature strip on James Cook Avenue, Santa Barbara Parade, Palm Corner Sirius Ramble and Yorlor Way and thereby restricting access and sight distance for child pedestrians and causing severe congestion.

Detail

The extent of the parking problems has been verified by Administration through the discussions with the school’s Road Safety Committee, feedback from local residents and field investigations.

Illegal and inappropriate parking within the school precinct restricts traffic movement for residents and parents, obstructs footpath access and compromises sight distance for child pedestrians and cyclists.

Due to the minimum carriageway width of Sirius Ramble, Palm Corner and Yorlor Way, vehicle movement and vehicle circulation are severely restricted when parked vehicles occupy one side of the carriageway outside of the parking embayments. The proposed Parking Prohibitions will formalise the parking arrangements on these roads and allow for improved vehicle access and egress for residents and parents.

The existing school Kiss and Drive facility (facility) on Santa Barbara Parade has been in place since 2004. However, the appropriate function of the facility and level of support by parents and staff has varied over this period. In order to limit the impact of long-term parent parking from occurring, 3 minute time limited parking is proposed.

The proposed parking prohibitions on James Cook Avenue, Santa Barbara Parade, Palm Corner Sirius Ramble and Yorlor Way are detailed on Drawing 2162-1-1 – Attachment 1 refers.

Consultation

A mailout to affected residents was actioned on 28 September 2006. Administration received one response as part of the consultation process with the resident requesting the extension of the parking prohibitions on the southern side of Yorlor Way carriageway. In supporting the resident’s request, modifications to the parking prohibition proposal are shown on the revised Drawing 2162-1-1.

Ranger and Safety Services have been consulted regarding the proposed parking prohibitions and the impact to Rangers staff resources to enforce compliance.

Comment

The installation of the proposed 5 minute time limited parking prohibitions on Sirius Ramble will encourage a higher turnover of vehicles and improve the parking opportunities for parents with younger children who are required to be escorted to the class rooms on the eastern side of the school. The proposed 3 minute time limited parking prohibitions and the extension of the Kiss n Drive facility on Santa Barbara Parade will restrict long term parking from occurring and encourage a higher turn-over of vehicles.

It should be noted that with the recent introduction of time limited parking at the Clarkson Train Station, the Kingsbridge Shopping Centre, Clarkson District Centre and as proposed for Quinns Beach Primary School the resultant parking prohibition enforcement will add a significant additional work commitment for the City’s Rangers and Safety Services to ensure compliance. Due to these commitments, the proposed parking prohibition provisions for Quinns Beach Primary School will be enforced on an infrequent basis.

To maximize the impact of the parking prohibition proposal and limit inappropriate parking from occurring, the school’s road safety committee will be encouraged to develop and promote parking strategies in support of City Rangers.

Statutory Compliance

The installation of parking prohibition signage and yellow edge lines will allow the enforcement of Part 4 Clause 38 of the City’s Parking and Facilities Local Law 2003(as amended). Regulation 143(3) of the Traffic Code 2000 indicates that vehicles are not allowed to stop within 10 metres of an intersection or carriageway. The yellow edge line will allow the enforcement of this particular section of the Traffic Code and enhance sight distance at intersections.

Strategic Implications

The proposal to install parking prohibitions signs on James Cook Avenue, Santa Barbara Parade, Palm Corner Sirius Ramble, and Yorlor Way is consistent with the following City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan 2006-2021 outcome objectives:

“Social

2.4 Improve community safety

2.4.1 Implement a range of road safety initiatives to improve the standard of the road network and user behaviour.”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The provision of parking prohibitions incurs not only the initial cost of materials and installation of the signs but also the ongoing cost of maintenance due to vandalism and graffiti. Current estimates for materials and installation are $100/sign and $5/metre for edge lines, equating to an appropriate cost of $5,000 and is proposed to be funded from Project No PR – 1099, ie Implement Traffic Management Works Unspecified, for which a total of $50,000 has been approved by Council in the 2006/2007 Capital Works budget.

The enforcement of parking prohibitions over an increasing number of sites also impacts on the manpower needs of Ranger Services resulting in increased staff requirements.

Simple Majority

Recommendation

That Council:-

1. APPROVES the installation of “NO STOPPING ROAD OR NATURE STRIP” signs and yellow edge lines on James Cook Avenue, Santa Barbara Parade, and Sirius Ramble as shown on Drawing 2162-1-1.

2. APPROVES the installation of “NO STOPPING 7.30-9AM 1.30-4PM SCHOOL DAYS” on Palm Corner, Sirius Ramble, Yorlor Corner as shown on Drawing 2162-1-1.

Issue

To consider the endorsement of two Community Members to the City of Wanneroo RoadWise Advisory Committee.

Background

Council, at its meeting on 14 August 2001, endorsed the establishment of the City of Wanneroo RoadWise Advisory Committee (Report W331–08/01 refers) to continue promoting the safe use of the road network by motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. It was also established to raise awareness of existing and potential road safety problems and implement strategies to solve them.

The City of Wanneroo RoadWise Advisory Committee Terms of Reference adopted by Council at its meeting on 1 February 2005 (TS05-01/05 refers) endorsed the following representatives:

· City of Wanneroo Councillor representatives (2);

· Up to four Community Members (4);

· Police Service Representative (1);

· Fire and Emergency Services Authority of WA (FESA) representative (1);

· Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA) Traffic Section representative (1);

· Western Australian Local Government Association RoadWise representative (1);

· City of Wanneroo’s Director Technical Services (now Director Infrastructure) or nominated representative (Traffic Engineer) (1);

· City of Wanneroo’s Traffic and Road Safety Officer, (now Coordinator Transport and Traffic) (1).

The first official meeting of the City of Wanneroo RoadWise Advisory Committee was held on 22 August 2001 when a Chairman of the Committee was appointed along with representatives from the various organisations noted above. Subsequent to the meeting an advertisement was placed in the ‘Wanneroo Times’ in September 2001 calling for the nomination of community members. Four applications were received for nomination to the Committee and all four were accepted at that time.

In 2004, as a consequence of two community members resigning and two members not formally appointed by Council for the two year endorsement period, a further advertisement was placed in the ‘Wanneroo Link’ on 20 January 2004 calling for nominations of community members by 3 February 2004. With no nominations received in response, the two remaining community representatives, Mr Andrews and Mr Street were re-appointed by Council at its meeting on 16 March 2004 (TS06-03/04 refers).

Detail

As the current membership for community members exceeds the two-year nomination period, an advertisement calling for nominations was put in the “Wanneroo Link” dated Tuesday 28 February 2006 with the closing date being 13 March 2006. Again there were no nominations. The two existing community representatives Mr Andrews and Mr Street were sent correspondence and nomination forms requesting re-nomination. Mr Andrews declined the nomination and resigned from the Committee.

A recent internal audit of Council committees undertaken to ensure best practice and compliance to legislation resulted in a standard terms of reference template being compiled to ensure that the development of documents achieved compliance.

The inclusion of the clause has not changed the purpose or aim of the Committee, it is an administrative amendment to comply fully with legislation and serves to bring the terms of reference into line with the City’s standard.

“2.3 Membership shall be for a period of two years terminating on the day of the Ordinary Council elections, with retiring members eligible to apply.”

Comment

At its meeting on 20 September 2006, the Wanneroo RoadWise Advisory Committee was presented with two community nominations for endorsement, from Mr Street, renominated and Mr Hewer, a new nomination.

Mr Street is the business proprietor of Wanneroo Towing Services, and although residing in the suburb of Beldon (City of Joondalup), he has business premises situated on Gnangara Road, Landsdale.

Mr Street has been on the Wanneroo RoadWise Advisory Committee as a contributing member since 21 November 2001 and has proved to be a worthwhile member. He has committed considerable time to the caravan/trailer events, particularly towing the driver/reviver caravan to its official launch site at the Ocean Keys Shopping Centre, Clarkson, and the driver/reviver project. Mr Street’s experiences, skills, attributes and qualifications are listed below:

· Past unofficial member of the Wanneroo RoadWise Advisory Committee;

· Completed Road Transport Training Council WA (inc) Defence Drivers’ Course 1992;

· Completed Road Transport Training Council WA Tow Truck Operations Course 1992;

· Volunteer warden at Blue Light Drags – organised by the WA Police Service.

Mr Hewer is a new nominee and his experience, skills, attributes and qualifications are listed below:

· is interested in this position as the City of Wanneroo is continually growing and he would be happy to have input on road safety issues and hopefully make our roads a lot safer.

The Committee’s recommendation, at its meeting held on Wednesday 20 September 2006, was unanimous for both Mr Street and Mr Hewer to be endorsed as a Community Members.

At its meeting on 9 May 2005, Council appointed, BY ABSOLUTE MAJORITY, Councillors Newton, Monks and Steffens to the City of Wanneroo RoadWise Advisory Committee.

Issue

To consider an amendment to the “Works Schedule” of projects to be undertaken using funding allocated under the Supplementary AusLink Roads to Recovery Program (SAR2RP).

Background

In May 2006, as part of the 2006/07 Federal budget announcements, a one-off grant payment was offered to local governments under the SAR2RP. Council at its meeting on 19 September 2006 endorsed a “Works Schedule” listing of the projects to be undertaken as part of this Program. The endorsed “Works Schedule” was submitted to the Australian Government Department of Transport and Regional Services (DOTARS). DOTARS has rejected one of the projects listed in the “Works Schedule” and directed the City to replace the rejected project with alternate project(s). This report considers an amendment to the endorsed “Works Schedule” for the SAR2RP.

Detail

Council considered a report at its meeting on 19 September 2006 (Item IN 06-09/06 refers) and adopted a number of resolutions including the following:

“That Council:-

1. ENDORSES the following program of roadworks to be funded under the Supplementary AusLink Roads To Recovery Program:

Proposed Year of construction	Road Name	Suburb	Road Segment (km)	Segment Length (m)	Estimated Cost ($)	Accumulated Total ($)
Road Resurfacing Projects
2006/2007	Moorpark Ave	Yanchep	0.01-0.87	860	$141,000	$141,000
2006/2007	Moorpark Ave	Yanchep	0.87-1.42	550	$106,000	$247,000
2006/2007	Russley Grove	Yanchep	0.00-0.34	340	$56,000	$303,000
2007/2008	Burbridge Ave	Koondoola	0.00-0.98	980	$189,000	$492,000
2007/2008	Clover Square	Girrawheen	0.00-0.60	600	$111,000	$603,000
2007/2008	Shelvock Cres	Koondoola	0.00-0.39	390	$79,226	$682,226

Shared Pathway
2006/2007	Drovers Place	Wanneroo	600 metres Shared Pathway	$38,000	$720,226
Total Cost proposed against the Supplementary AusLink R2R Grant Program					$720,226

2. ADVISES the Department of Transport and Regional Services (DOTARS) of the proposed schedule of additional road projects that will be funded under the Supplementary AusLink Roads to Recovery Program.

3. Pursuant to Section 6.8.1 (b) of the Local Government Act 1995, APPROVE BY ABSOLUTE MAJORITY, the expenditure of $341,000 on the following projects:

· Moorpark Road, Yanchep – Road Resurfacing $247,000

· Russley Grove, Yanchep – Road Resurfacing $56,000

· Drovers Place, Wanneroo – Shared Pathway $38,000

4. NOTES the following budget variation to the 2006/2007 Capital Works Budget to transfer the Supplementary AusLink Roads To Recovery payment of $341,000 as indicated below.

*Project No*	*From*	To	*Description*
Restricted Federal Grants	$341,000		Supplementary AusLink Roads to Recovery Grant
Project No PR–1062 Work Order - W4812		$38,000	Construct New Pathways – Drovers Place
Project No PR–1254		$247,000	Moorpark Road, Yanchep Road Resurfacing
Project No PR–1255		$56,000	Russley Grove, Yanchep Road resurfacing

The “Works Schedule” incorporating projects endorsed in the first resolution were submitted to the DOTARS website to comply with the program guidelines. SAR2RP Coordinator from DOTARS has advised that the project involving the provision of a new pathway in Drovers Place, Wanneroo, does not comply with the Program guidelines and suggested that the City replaces this project with alternate project(s) complying with the Program guidelines. Subsequent clarification with the Coordinator has indicated that the SAR2RP funds can only be used for pathways constructed as part of a roadworks project or for bike paths if strong justification is provided in this regard. Since the proposed pathway in Drovers Place is predominantly for use by pedestrians and is not part of a roadworks project, this project does not comply with the SAR2RP guidelines. It is therefore necessary to delete this project ($38,000) from the “Works Schedule” and include other project(s) to the value of $38,000 to meet the program guidelines.

At its meeting on 19 September 2006, Council endorsed the following Road Resealing Program:

2006/07 Priority Listing	Road Name	Suburb	Road Segment (km)	Road Length (m)	Estimated Cost ($)	Accumulated Total ($)
2	Westgate Way	Marangaroo	0.04-0.43	390	$72,000	$72,000
3	Northumberland Ave	Alexander Heights	0.20-0.73	530	$116,000	$188,000
17	Northumberland Ave	Alexander Heights	0.00-0.20	200	$42,000	$230,000
6	Mosey Street	Landsdale	0.26-0.31	50	$14,000	$244,000
7	Wanjina Crescent	Wanneroo	0.17-0.65	480	$90,000	$334,000
9	Uringa Way	Wanneroo	0.00-0.30	300	$60,000	$394,000
13	Birnam Court	Yanchep	0.00-0.10	100	$18,000	$412,000
14	Mauna Court	Yanchep	0.00-0.05	50	$12,000	$424,000
15	Fullwell Court	Yanchep	0.00-0.03	30	$8,000	$432,000
Total 2006/2007 Road Reseal Program				2,130	Total Cost	$432,000

It is proposed that road resealing works for roads listed at numbers 13, 14 and 15 be included in the “Works Schedule” to be undertaken using $38,000 SAR2RP funding that will become available from the deletion of the Construction of Pathway in Drovers Place from the ‘Works Schedule”. The $38,000 is currently allocated to the Road Resurfacing Program can then be reallocated to fund the construction of pathway in Drovers Place.

The amended “Works Schedule” will therefore now be as detailed below:

2006/07 Priority Listing	Road Name	Suburb	Road Segment (km)	Segment Length (m)	Estimated Cost ($)	Accumulated Total ($)	Proposed Year of construction
1	Moorpark Avenue	Yanchep	0.01-0.87	860	$141,000	$141,000	2006/2007
5	Moorpark Avenue	Yanchep	0.87-1.42	550	$106,000	$247,000	2006/2007
16	Russley Grove	Yanchep	0.00-0.34	340	$56,000	$303,000	2006/2007
4	Birnam Court	Yanchep	0.00-0.10	100	$18,000	$700,226	2006/2007
11	Mauna Court	Yanchep	0.00-0.05	50	$12,000	$712,226	2006/2007
22	Fullwell Court	Yanchep	0.00-0.03	30	$8,000	$720,226	2006/2007
13	Burbridge Avenue	Koondoola	0.00-0.98	980	$189,000	$492,000	2007/2008
14	Clover Square	Girrawheen	0.00-0.60	600	$111,000	$603,000	2007/2008
15	Shelvock Crescent	Koondoola	0.00-0.39	390	$79,226	$682,226	2007/2008
Total Cost proposed against the SAR2RP						$720,226	2006/2007 & 2007/2008

A budget variation, as explained later in this report, is required to reflect this change in funding of these projects.

Consultation

Nil

Comment

Administration was only made aware after it had submitted the ‘works schedule’ that path construction proposals can only be considered for SAR2RP funding if such work forms part of a road project for which SAR2RP funding is sought and cannot be submitted as stand alone projects. In order to comply with the SAR2RP guidelines, it is therefore necessary to amend the “Works Schedule”.

Statutory Compliance

The “Works Schedule” for projects to be undertaken using SAR2RP funding has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Government’s AusLink (National Land Transport) Act 2005.

Strategic Implications

The provision of infrastructure using SAR2RP funding is consistent with the following objectives and strategies from the City of Wanneroo’s Strategic Plan 2006-2021:

“Social

2.5 Improve Transport options and connections”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The amendment to the “Works Schedule” for the SAR2RP does not impose any additional financial implications on the City. Projects which were previously funded using municipal funding will now be funded under SAR2RP and the construction of the pathway in Drovers Place will now be funded using municipal funds. This will require a budget variation to amend the Infrastructure Works Budget to reflect the true funding sources for the affected projects. It is also noted that there may be income ($6,720) received for the Drovers Place pathway construction project from the developers of the Regents Garden Residential Care Resort at 33 Drovers Place, Wanneroo in accordance with the conditions of the Development Approval (DA06/0461) issued by the City on 9 October 2006.

Issue

To consider supporting the ‘Green Frog’ Drain Stencilling Project as proposed by the Friends of Yellagonga.

Background

The wetlands of the Yellagonga Regional Park are classified as having high conservation value and support a vast biodiversity of life, including 122 bird species, 133 invertebrate species and numerous frogs and reptiles. This wetland system is listed on the Wetlands of National Significance Database and is of regional importance due to its natural, cultural and recreational resources in a rapidly expanding urban area.

The City of Wanneroo actively manages the eastern fringe of the Yellagonga Regional Park with ongoing weed management activities and the rehabilitation of several sites, with two sites that are currently under restoration or have proposed works for 2006/2007. These sites include Ottawa Way Stormwater Drain and Church Street Drain. The Wangara Sump is continually monitored for water and sediment quality and the sampling of Church St Drain Rehabilitation Site began in August 2006. The Friends of Yellagonga Regional Park have been involved in on-ground works within the Regional Park for several years and their work is paramount to its preservation.

To reduce potentially threatening pollution from entering the wetlands, the City of Wanneroo has been proactive by installing numerous gross pollutant traps, filtration basins and constructed wetlands. Whilst these engineering solutions are generally very effective, they are not the only method to reduce pollution entering this system. Environmental education programs play a large role in minimising environmental impacts by allowing the local community to take ownership of conservation areas and making them aware of the consequences of their actions.

Detail

The Friends of Yellagonga have applied for a Department of Environment and Conservation Regional Parks Community Grant to fund the purchase of ‘Green Frog’ stencils, paint and printing of cards. It is proposed that the iconic ‘Green Frogs’ will be stencilled on all roadside stormwater drains within the Yellagonga Wetlands Catchment and at the same time frog-shaped information cards will be delivered to residents living near the drains.

The idea is to begin the project by liaising with the many schools in the catchment and to organise staff and students to stencil drains in the immediate area of their schools and then deliver the information cards at the same time.

A copy of the double-sided frog shaped information card that will be distributed through the program is shown on Attachment 1.

Comment

The proposed program would contribute to the community taking ownership of environmental education initiatives. It is a community-based project that will be coordinated and implemented within the community, by community members; therefore the Friends of Yellagonga should be encouraged and offered support and advice in implementing this project

Apart from the Wangara Industrial Estate, most pollution entering the wetlands is delivered via roadside drains in residential areas from rainfall events. Stormwater collecting from driveways and roadways has the potential to rapidly carry a variety of polluting materials (such as oil, petroleum, diesel, detergent, fertiliser and pesticides) directly to the wetlands. Through raising awareness and educating residents, it is hoped that these undesirable materials will be kept out of the drainage system. As the future preservation of the area should be a holistic and strategic catchment approach, stormwater pollution cannot be looked at in isolation, but as a cumulative effect on water quality and the surrounding ecosystem.

This project has the potential to have an impact on the quality of stormwater entering the wetlands and provide the local community with a better understanding of the impacts urban society has on wetlands and what can be done to limit their deterioration. Human impacts on wetlands are not isolated to stormwater pollution but also through activities such as bird feeding.

Council has approved funding for the development of the Yellagonga Integrated Catchment Management Plan which will incorporate components associated with community engagement. This ‘Green Frogs’ project has the potential to serve as an initial step in raising the community’s awareness of stormwater management and the associated issues.

The following considerations need to be addressed as part of the implementation of the project:

1. The City of Wanneroo does not currently have the resources to coordinate the project. It is proposed that Friends of Yellagonga will coordinate and implement this project, with the City of Wanneroo providing advice on matters associated with the project.

2. A Project Action Plan does not currently exist. A plan illustrating priority areas of implementation needs to be drafted, with stakeholder agreement to ensure objectives of the project will be successfully met;

3. Integration of this project into the Yellagonga Integrated Catchment Management Plan (YICM), which will involve a community education and capacity building component, of which will include stormwater pollution awareness;

4. Safety and insurance requirements of all stakeholders to involve students and the local community with work on roads and verges, and also with chemicals (environmentally safe and health conscious spray paint);

Consultation

The Environmental Advisory Committee considered a report on this project at its meeting on 4 October and resolved as follows:

“1. NOTES that the Friends of Yellagonga have applied for a Regional Parks Grant in order to carry out ‘Green Frog’ Drain Stencilling Project within the Yellagonga Catchment Area, which includes the City of Wanneroo;

2. NOTES that the Friends of Yellagonga have applied for a Regional Parks Grant in order to carry out ‘Green Frog’ Drain Stencilling Project within the Yellagonga Catchment Area, which includes the City of Wanneroo;

3. RECOMMENDS to Council that it provides support in principle to the Friends of Yellagonga being responsible for the coordination and implementation of the ‘Green Frog’ Drain Stencilling Project within the Yellagonga Catchment Area.”

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

The Green Frog Stencilling Program is consistent with the City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan (2006 – 2021) outcomes and objectives

“Environmental

1 A sustainable natural, built and healthy environment in harmony with the growth of our municipality

1.6 Minimise the incidence and impact of pollution”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

The Friends of Yellagonga have applied for a Department of Environment and Conservation Regional Parks Community Grant for $4000, which (if successful) will fund the initial purchase of 10 stencils, paint and printing of cards. At the time of the grant application, the City of Wanneroo did not act as a signatory to support the grant application.

In the absence of a Project Action Plan potential financial implications for the City of Wanneroo to consider for the duration of the project can only be estimated to include:

1. Total amount of paint required estimated at $800-1000;

2. Total number of flyers to be printed with graphics approval is estimated at $800 (estimating 2000 flyers distributed);

3. Other community promotional material is estimated at $500;

4. Staff salary and time if stakeholders become involved in project coordination is estimated at 5 hours per week.

Issue

To consider Statements of Financial Activity for the periods ended 31 July 2006 and 31 August 2006.

Background

Regulation 34(1) of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 requires a local government to present the financial activity statement according to nature and type, by program, or by business unit. Administration has opted to present the statement of financial activity by nature and type and in a similar format to that presented in the Rate Setting Statement for the 2006/2007 Annual Budget. This format separates operating revenue and expenditure from other revenue and expenditure and provides improved disclosure of Council’s underlying operating result.

The Financial Activity Statement is in the form of an Income Statement and Balance Sheet. The Income Statement compares year to date actual income and expenditure with the year to date budget, shows variances, forecast changes and end of year forecasts. The Balance Sheet shows the current status of the City’s assets and liabilities.

In addition to the above, Regulation 34(1) of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996 requires a local government to adopt a percentage or value, calculated in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, to be used in statements of financial activity for reporting material variances. For 2005/2006 the Council Adopted 10% for the reporting of variances and the same variation is proposed for 2006/2007.

Detail

The attached Statements of Financial Activity for the period ended 31 July 2006 and 31 August 2006 represents the first two (2) months results of the financial year past.

From 1 July 2006, Administration has implemented a new Chart of Accounts environment and this has resulted in a delay in the preparation of reports in this new format. The conversion of the Adopted Budget for 2006/2007 has now been completed and reports for the first two (2) months of the financial year are ready for presentation to Council.

Similar to last year, Administration proposes to conduct reviews with each Service Unit with regard to their progress to date against budget and revised forecasts will be included in future Statement of Financial Activity reports presented to Council. These reviews will form the basis of the City’s review of the Annual Budget and also form the basis of the preliminary discussions for the Budget for 2007/2008.

Comments on the financial performance compared to the annual budget for the periods ended 31 July 2006 and 31 August 2006 are set out below.

With regard to the reporting of variances, Administration proposes the same percentage variance of ten percent (10%) for the reporting material variances as adopted last year by Council.

Consultation

Nil.

Comment

The following comments are provided on the Income Statement and Balance Sheet for the periods ended 31 July 2006 and 31 August 2006. For the purposes of this report, comments will focus on the year to date results ended 31 August 2006.

Income Statement

July 2006 - Attachment 1 refers

August 2006 - Attachment 2 refers.

The operating result for the City to the end of August is a favourable variance of $3.787 million. The following information is provided on key aspects of the year to date financial performance:-

Operating Revenue

Result to end of August Favourable Variance of $1.339 million

Full Year Budget $76.138 million

Overall at the end of August, operating revenue was ahead of budget in all areas with the exception of Reimbursement Income, Other and Miscellaneous Income. These unfavourable variances are due in part to timing differences in the actual receipt of revenues compared to budget spreads loaded by Administration. Administration will be monitor the progress of actuals against the overall budget over the coming months and will amend the budget spreads as appropriate.

The City receives significant revenues in the first two (2) months of the financial year from Rates Income and Domestic Refuse Charges following the issue of the Annual Rate Notices. Rates Income is already $208,000 ahead of the progressive budget with the balance to be raised through Interim Rates issued following the completion of new homes or commercial premises or the completion of other additions to these properties over the remaining months.

The budget spreads for Operating Grants has been loaded for this income to be recognised at the end of each quarter. As at the end of August, Operating Grants of $1.367 million was the most significant factor contributing to the $1.399 million favourable year to date variance in Operating Revenue.

Operating Expenses

Result to end of August Favourable Variance of $2.019 million

Full Year Budget $82.804 million

Overall at the end of August, Operating Expenses are below budget in all areas with the exception of Employee Related Expenses, Miscellaneous Expenses and Internal Cost Allocations. These unfavourable variances are due in part to timing differences between actual results and budget spreads loaded by Administration. These budget spreads will be monitored closely over the coming months and reviewed as necessary.

Significant favourable variances in Salary and Wage Expenses as well as Contract Expenses and Material Expenses reflect savings from delays in the filling of staff vacancies as well as the timing of maintenance and other operational projects by the City.

Insurance Expenses show an unfavourable variance of $0.262 million which reflects the timing of payment of insurance premiums.

Finally, it is also worth noting that for 2006/2007 Administration has changed the timing of recognition of Depreciation Expenses to four (4) monthly, resulting in minimal expenses to date. Depreciation for the first four (4) months quarter will appear in the October monthly report to Council.

Other Revenue and Expenses

Result to end of August Favourable Variance of $4.473 million

Full Year Budget $38.515 million

Other Revenue and Expenses includes Capital Grants, Contributions, Town Planning Scheme activities and Assets Received Free of Charge from developers. The timing of the receipt of these revenues and payment of expenses is related to the City’s Capital Works Programme and also land development activity. Administration will monitor progress against budget over the coming months to ensure all budgeted Grant and Contribution Income is received.

With regard to Town Planning Schemes, as at the end of August TPS Scheme Income was already $2.073 million ahead of budget, whereas, TPS Expenses was $2.885 million below budget.

Capital Expenditure

Expenditure to end of July $0.971 million

Expenditure to end of August $1.539 million

Full Year Budget $47.237 million

The year to date results reflects the timing of projects undertaken by the City. More detailed reports on the progress of the Capital Works Programme will be provided in coming months.

Balance Sheet

July 2006 - Attachment 3 refers

August 2006 - Attachment 4 refers.

The Balance Sheet as at 31 August 2006 shows there are significant increases in the amount of Investments, due to the receipt of rate revenues and the balance of funds carried forward from 2005/2006.

For 2006/2007 the projected change in net assets from operations will result in a decrease in Equity to $657.318 million. With only two (2) months lapsed, no forecast changes have been made and therefore no changes have been factored into this expected result.

Issue

To consider the signing and acceptance of a new Funding Agreement for the City of Wanneroo Family Day Care Scheme from 1 October 2006 to 30 June 2007.

Background

The City of Wanneroo Family Day Care Scheme was the first Scheme to be established in Western Australia and has been operational for the past twenty nine years.

The City’s Family Day Care Scheme currently operates a high rating accredited childcare service with the National Childcare Accreditation Council with 357 children (230 families) in the homes of 27 independently licensed Carers. Two other Schemes also provide services in the City’s Alexander and South Wards.

The City entered into an interim contract for the period 1 July 2006 to 30 September 2006

while the Commonwealth Government prepared the framework of new Funding Agreements. A new contract offer has been received for the period 1 October 2006 to 30 June 2007.

Detail

Following the redevelopment of the Commonwealth Government’s Broadband Child Care Support Funding, the new Funding Agreement reflects the implementation of a performance management system, changes to reporting requirements and a change in the way Family Day Care funding is now calculated.

The level of funding being offered has been based on the number of ‘occupied’ Equivalent Full Time ( EFT ) places provided by the City’s Scheme over a six-month period, between October 2005 and 31 March 2006. Previously funding was based on an average of the Schemes best daily figures over a twelve - month period.

In addition to these changes, the Scheme has also experienced a real decline in the childcare places being occupied as a consequence of an over supply of childcare places in the City of Wanneroo and the national trend of declining numbers of Carers operating a Family Day Care service.

This trend is reflective of low unemployment levels, the retirement of long term carers, the additional work associated with meeting the accreditation requirements of the Family Day Care Quality Assurance System and significant changes to the Family Day Care licensing requirements for Family Day Care.

As an outcome of the way funding is now calculated, and to a lessor degree to the decline in the number of Carers operating within the Scheme, the City has been offered a significantly reduced level of funding representing a shortfall in the current approved budget of $98,840 for 2006/2007

Comment

The details and content of the terms and conditions for funding in the new Agreement will necessitate a reduction to the children’s services staff structure and a reduction in its program activities expenditure to address approximately half of the reduction in funding. The current status of staff contracts and past consolidation of the Scheme services will support these changes during the period of the Funding Agreement.

The changes to the way Family Day Care funding is now calculated is part of a wide range of changes to the childcare industry following the redevelopment of the Australian Governments Broadband Child Care Support funding and that are now impacting on the way services are being delivered.

The impact on the way Family Day Care funding is now calculated will undermine the viability of all small Family Day Care Schemes. These include the two similar sized Schemes that currently operate in the City’s southern suburbs and to a lessor extent the Scheme operating in the City of Joondalup.

To regain previous levels of Australian Government Network Support funding, the City of Wanneroo Family Day Care Scheme will need to recruit an additional ten (10) Carers.

Opportunities: The need to expand the City’s network of carers over the life of the new Agreement will be supported by the following opportunities.

· The Australian Government’s decision to uncap Family Day Care places and to remove regional boundaries that had previously precluded the City’s Schemes from operating in seven of its southern suburbs or outside its Local Government Area.

· The recruitment of new and existing Carers in Madeley, Darch, Landsdale, Koondoola, Girrawheen, Marangaroo, Alexander Heights and neighbouring suburbs outside the City’s LGA will provide an immediate financial income for the City. Based on the average number of families who use the childcare services of each Carer, approximately $5,000 per year ( pro rata) in weekly administration levies is received for each Carer.

· The inclusion of existing carers from other Schemes will enable the City’s Scheme to lift its EFT’s and subsequent funding without the costs associated with the recruitment and support of new carers.

· The City’s Family Day Care Scheme has the infrastructure, experience and a high quality accreditation rating to ensure that it is well positioned to attract new and existing carers in the suburbs that neighbouring Schemes currently cover. Initial enquiries have been received from prospective Carers residing in the City’s southern suburbs and Carers who are currently working in the Community Vision Scheme.

· The City’s Family Day Care Scheme’s marketing strategies places a greater emphasis on face to face communication within the community, improved distribution of promotional material and the celebration of 30 years of Family Day Care in Wanneroo. In addition the City’s southern suburbs will be targeted with Children’s Week activities, interactive participation at the Kingsway Shopping centre and the launching of the City’s updated Children’s Services Directory. The Scheme’s comprehensive marketing plan has been developed to promote the City’s Family Day Care program as a ‘home away from home ’ childcare option and as a viable small business option.

Should Council change its focus in this area of service provision, the new Agreement may be terminated at any time with reasonable written notice to the Australian Government’s Department of Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs. However, if the City was to discontinue its Family Day Care Scheme, considerable disruption would occur for families and their children using the Scheme’s child care service and the Carers who operate their Family Day Care service as a member of the City’s Scheme,

While the possibility that funding may be adjusted by FACSIA in response to industry pressure during the period of the Agreement is unclear at this stage, ongoing discussions with the funding body will be actively maintained to ensure that the Scheme can maximise opportunities to increase its level of network support funding as early as possible as it expands its service.

Administration has identified options to reduce the operational deficit and review the operational budget for an interim period for the 2006/2007 financial year. During the next six months it is imperative that the City employs an independent consultant to formally review opportunities and constraints within the Family Day Care industry. Following this review, a report will be presented to Council in order that a decision can be made about the City’s future involvement in the provision of these services prior to adoption of the 2007/08 budget.

Should the Council decide not to continue with the provision of Family Day Care services, a staged withdrawal is recommended so that parents and carers are able to make alternative arrangements which might mean simply transferring carers to another Family Day Care scheme.

Statutory Compliance

A resolution of Council is required to authorise the Mayor and CEO to execute and affix the common seal of the City of Wanneroo to the Funding Agreement.

Strategic Implications

Acceptance to signing the Funding Agreement with the Australian Government is consistent with the City’s strategic plan in the following areas:

“2.3 Improve the capacity of local communities to support each other.

2.4 Improve community safety

3.5 Increase the capacity of eduction and training services

3.6 Increase support for new and existing businesses.

4.1 Improve strategic partnerships

4.4 Improve the quality of services delivery.”

Policy Implications

Financial Implications

As the new Funding Agreement offer reflects a reduction in anticipated Australian Government operational funding in the current budget of $98,840, the signing of the new Agreement will necessitate adjustments in the anticipated income and expenditure.

The City has already received $64, 046.14 ( GST exclusive) for the 1 July to 30 September. This was based on the old method of how funding was allocated.

The new Funding Agreement offer of $96,651.75 (GST exclusive) for the remainder of the financial year reflects a rate of $21.55 per place per week for 116.47 Equivalent Full Time places (EFT’s). It is unclear if the grant allocation will be adjusted to reflect the Scheme’s anticipated growth during the period of the new Agreement that has an end date of 30 June 2007. The Schemes most recent six month report to be submitted shows early indications of growth of 3 EFT’s and the next report to be submitted on 14 April 2007 will reflect the Schemes anticipated growth following the expansion of the Scheme from October 06 to April 2007.

The table below shows the worst case scenario that will necessitate adjustments to the current budget grant allocation.

Period of funding	GST exclusive	Comment
Approved budget grant funding allocation	$259,538	Based on previous years allocation
Grant funding received July/Sept 06	$ 64,046	Based on previous years allocation
New funding agreements offer for Oct 06 to June 07	$ 96,652	Reflects changes to way FDC funding is calculated i.e. ‘occupied’ EFT’s between Oct 05 to 31 March 06.
Total grant for current financial year	$160,698
Shortfall in budget grant allocation	$ 98,887

Adjustments in expenditure have already been anticipated through a reduction in salaries and other operational expenses to the value of $48,334. This leaves a $50,553 shortfall over and above the approved deficit (see Attachment 1).

The successful recruitment of new and existing Carers (from other Schemes) has the potential to provide significant additional income of $10,000 p.a. for each Carer. Each Carer generates approximately $5,000 through the payments of an administration levy by parents and approximately $5.000 when adjustments are made to Australian Government funding to reflect an increase in ‘occupied’ EFT places of childcare.

2. AUTHORISES the Mayor and CEO to execute and affix the common seal of the City of Wanneroo to the Funding Agreement.

3. NOTES the proposed adjustments to the budget income and expenditure that are proposed to be made through the mid year budget review, to reflect the new Funding Agreement offer for the October 2006 to June 2007 period.

	Current – approved Budget 2006/07	Proposed
Income	$339,511	$242,859
Expenditure including corporate overheads	$414,394	$366, 060

· Provision of relief CSO positions to be limited to purchased leave

· Reduce operational expenses of $1,000 each in printing, public relations and program activities.

Total savings $ 48, 334 = remaining shortfall $50,553

REASONS FOR SHORTFALL

Changes to Australian Government Funding Agreement: The new Funding Agreement reflects changes to the reporting requirements and the way Family Day Care funding is now calculated. The current funding offer has been based on the reporting of ‘occupied’ Equivalent Full Time (EFT’s) places over a six month period between Oct 05 to end of Mar 06 i.e. 117 EFT’s. Previously funding was based on an average of the Schemes best daily figures over a twelve - month period. As an outcome funding was based on 228 places over the past year.

Decline in use of FDC and Carers

The provision of childcare in the LGA of Wanneroo has become very competitive with an over supply of childcare places. Over the past 3 years the number of childcare centres has doubled from 13 to 26. The majority of the new centres are corporate owned, large and are licenced to provide 99 childcare places.

The decline in numbers of Carers operating a Family Day Care service is a national trend reflective of:

· A competitive employment market

· Protracted and extensive requirements associated with obtaining a State Government Licence to provide FDC.

· Continuously improving standards and increased reporting requirements associated with the National Childcare Accreditation Council’s Quality Assurance System.

Annual Indexation of funding: Traditionally the rate paid for each childcare place by the Australian Government has been indexed at a rate significantly lower that the CPI. This financial year the rate of $21.55 per place per week represents a 1.5% indexation on the funding level received over the previous year i.e. approximately half the CPI resulting in a real decline in funding per place again this year.

CARER STATUS – RECRUITMENT PROGRAM

· We are currently operating with 27 carers.

· This calendar year we have gained 7 new Carers and lost 4.

· One prospective carers has lodged an application for membership with the Scheme but may not start till the new year.

· Quarterly information sessions are held and supported by advertising in the Wanneroo Link. The next session is being held on 17 October.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 3 of 5

· Four carers operating in the Community Vision Scheme are considering membership with Wanneroo, two of whom have been interviewed. The only issue relates to the way in which we apply our Administration levy. We anticipate that this can be addressed by applying a reduced levy for care that is limited to less than 5 hours per week.

· On average each Carer represents the provision of 4.5 Equivalent Full time Places which represents $5042 00 p.a. in Network Support Funding for the City of Wanneroo Scheme. In addition, each Carer contributes an annual membership fee of $180.00 ( $200.00 if paid by instalment) and an Administration Levy of $7.00 per week applies for each child they have in care. Based on the most recent figures this equates to a further $5,000 p.a. Estimated total income per carer is $10.242

Target: It is estimated that we need 36 Carers to be actively working to regain past levels of Commonwealth Government funding. Therefore a target of 40 Carer is required to cover Carers leave.

OPPORTUNITIES

Reporting requirements: The April to Oct six monthly report to be submitted on 14 Oct will show a small increase of 3 EFT’s. The following report to be submitted in April 07 will be more reflective of the Schemes capacity to expand since the withdrawal of boundaries in July 06. While the new Funding Agreement states that funding adjustments may be adjusted when there have been increase or decrease in EFT’s, contact with the policy officer with Family Day Care Australia who meets regularly with the Commonwealth, indicates that adjustments to our network funding will be made on a quarterly basis retrospectively.

Expansion of our Scheme : The recent abolition of Scheme boundaries by the Commonwealth government offers the City’s Scheme several new opportunities for expansion.

With competition between Schemes the future viability of the City’s neighbouring Schemes remains uncertain. While the Community Vision Family Day Care Scheme is operating with 42 Carers it has previously operated with more than 60. Other smaller Schemes include the Salvation Army Scheme and the Lyla Elliot Scheme. If either of these two smaller Schemes fold it will leave a gap for the city to cover including seven Wanneroo suburbs.

Recent contact with the Salvation Army’s Director of Community Services confirmed that their Scheme is just one of 63 programs and as part of a broader organisation needs to be viable. It is currently being heavily scrutinised and with only 23 Carers and the difficulties associated with recruiting, its future is uncertain and will be discussed at their Cabinet meeting on the 20 October 06. They have not replaced staff as they have left, staff morale is low and savings from past good years has been used to support the continuation of the service. The Wanneroo suburbs that have been exclusively covered by this Scheme include Girrawheen, Koondoola, Marangaroo and Alexandra Heights.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 4 of 5

The Lyla Elliot Family Day Care Scheme is a not for profit community based organisation that has FDC as it’s sole function and source of income. It is currently operating with 28 Carers and has recently appointed a Manager for 3 days a week and will “ see how they go”. The Wanneroo suburbs that have been exclusively covered by this Scheme include Landsdale, Darch and Madeley.

Carers who are currently working in other schemes can now apply for membership with the City’s Scheme. Experienced carers have already approached the City of Wanneroo Family Day Care Scheme’s Coordination Unit expressing an interest in joining this Scheme. To date two of these Carers have been successfully interviewed. This includes a Carer who has 26 years experience operating a FDC service and was an inaugural Board member of Community Vision Inc. Each of these carers is working to their full capacity and would therefore have an immediate impact on the City’s Schemes ability to attract additional Commonwealth funding.

Marketing of the City’s Scheme: A comprehensive marketing plan has been developed to promote the City’s Family Day Care program as a ‘home away from home’ childcare option and as a viable small business option. Planned activities include:

· A shift in the Schemes recruitment program to include a greater emphasis on personal face to face communications with contact with community playgroups, child health nurses, schools, ECU, West Coast College and places of work. To achieve this, staff will share responsibility for the facilitation of play sessions with the carers thereby releasing staff to allocate additional time towards the recruitment program.

· The targeting of the southern suburbs of the City through Children’s Week activities, increased participation in the activities of Communities 4 Children programs and interactive participation at the Kingsway Shopping centre from 23 October to 4^th November and public launch of the updated Children’s Services Directory in this November in the Warrendale Centre.

· The Celebration of the City’s FDC Schemes 30 years anniversary ( and as the 1^st Scheme in WA ) with the City providing support for a Christmas Extravaganza in December 06 and a Cocktail Part in March 2007 that is being organised by a ‘Rekindling the Past Committee’ of past and present carers. .

· The production of new promotional material including posters, pamphlet and banners.

New National Branding and National Marketing of Family Day Care: As the peak organisation representing FDC, Family Day Care Australia has embarked on a comprehensive marketing campaign to promote FDC as a child care choice and exciting career option. The City’s Schemes is actively working with the State organisation to compliment this campaign.

The Status of the City’s FDC Scheme: In addition to its proud history, the City’s Scheme has a good reputation in the industry as a result of :

· The extensive experience of the City’s coordination staff

· Active participation in community events

· Strong working relations ships with governments and non governments family support agencies

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 5 of 5

· It’s well established consistent operational practices including a high level of customer service and working in partnership with carers to provide a quality childcare service.

· Accreditation as a high quality childcare service with the National Childcare Accreditation Council again this year in an environment in which not all Schemes have been achieved accreditation without having to go through the appeal process. Furthermore the childcare centres operating in the City that have only open over the past two years have yet to achieve accreditation status.

· Active marketing of the Scheme through Wanneroo Link, What’s Happening in Wanneroo, com unity newspaper coverage and adverting

IMPLICATIONS OF EXPANSION

· The additional costs associated with supporting each carer who resides out of the Wanneroo region can be limited to the mileage involved in monthly support visits. It is proposed that these visits will be planned together with visits to Carers who reside in the City’s southern suburbs to minimise staff time and distance travelled.

· The flexibility of the City’s Scheme operational policies and practices does not limit its Carers to only attend Scheme provided play sessions or the Schemes Professional Development training. It is anticipated that Carers may elect to arrange home play sessions or attend community playgroups and the current practice of providing training in partnership with a comprehensive marketing plan has been developed to promote the City’s Family Day Care program as a ‘home away from home’ childcare option and as a viable small business option.

· Neighbouring Schemes will increase to reflect the need to work within reduced budgets.

Issue

To consider a proposal by developers for the use of Public Open Space as a drainage swale in Ferrara Reserve in Girrawheen.

Background

Council endorsed the concept of the Ferrara Reserve Upgrade Project in September 2003 (CD02-09/03 refers) of which the Community Garden initiative was a component. Council further endorsed the concept design for the Community Garden initiative in August 2004 (CD 01-08/04 refers) and a concept design for the Ferrara Reserve Community Garden in June 2005 (CD01-06/05 refers)

The Ferrara Reserve Upgrade project has included improved pathways, a new gazebo and barbeque, new lighting, a Community Art project and the relocation of playground equipment and installation of the ‘Spaceball’ climbing equipment. The construction of the Community Garden is the last phase of the upgrade to be completed. The community, including the nearby school, residents and service providers, is now using Ferrara Reserve on a regular basis.

In the 2006/07 Council budget, $90,000 was allocated for the completion of the Community Garden, to be made up entirely of developers’ contribution and sponsorship. The local business community has been approached to assist with sponsorship of materials for the Community Garden and to date there has been some positive interest received for the smaller landscaping items such as plants. A tentative date for the official opening of the Community Garden has been proposed to coincide with the City’s Community Event (Santas, Sleighs and Snowmen) in Ferrara Reserve on 10 December 2006.

In 2004 the Satterley Property Group approached the City with a proposal to utilise a portion of Ferrara Reserve for drainage, to avoid having to use prime residential blocks in the New North housing redevelopment for this purpose. The section of land adjacent to the proposed Community Garden would be employed as a landscaped and visually attractive drainage swale, with a compensation arrangement to be negotiated between developers and the City. A plan showing the location of the Community Garden and proposed drainage swale is attached (see Attachment 1).

Ferrara Reserve is vested in the Crown as a 20A ‘Reserve for Recreation’ and the City has the Management Order for this reserve. The proposal does not intend to alter, amend, dispose or cancel the reserve or utilise funds for the purposes of general revenue. The City is committed to the expenditure of the total funds as capital expenditure for the purposes of improving and enhancing the Ferrara Reserve for public use.

In this regard, the proposal is generally in accordance with the Crown Land Administration and Registration Practice Manual Part 4.7.3.1, which specifies that ‘landscaped drainage ponds can form part of the landscaping of a “public recreation” reserve, and drainage can therefore co-exist with recreation in such cases’.

Clarification was subsequently received from the Department for Planning and Infrastructure (DPI), where it was advised that a drainage swale is fundamentally consistent with the recreational use of the land. The City contends that the use of this portion of this reserve in the manner proposed is consistent with the objectives of a 20A Reserve for Recreation and the parameters of the City of Wanneroo’s Management Order to ensure use and usability to the general public for recreational purposes.

Detail

To date commitments of sponsorship and construction of the Community Garden cannot be undertaken until such time as the Satterley Property Group submits a formal technical proposal for the drainage swale for the City’s review/approval. It is noted that a preliminary design has previously been submitted and assessed: the comment by the City is that the proposal is sound.

Further to this, it is necessary to develop a technical design for the Community Garden and secure the funding required for the construction of the Community Garden to meet costs such as irrigation, earthmoving and construction of limestone garden bed walls that cannot be met through sponsorship.

The Satterley Property Group and the City have now held discussions regarding the provision of monetary compensation for the partial use of Ferrara Reserve for the drainage incorporating a swale solution. The sum of $155,000 has been offered as monetary compensation as well as the cost of constructing and landscaping the drainage swale.

Consultation

Community Garden: The community has been involved throughout the development of the Community Garden project over the past 2 years. Several methods have been used to consult with the community and other stakeholders regarding the Community Garden, including:

· Meeting with individual groups in the area

· Informal discussions with local residents utilising the park

· A public meeting

· Workshops at Montrose Primary and Girrawheen Senior High Schools

· Several informal community barbeques in Ferrara Reserve inviting residents to state their preferences in park furniture and design

The drainage swale: Planning Services advised that consultation was not necessary, as the landscaped drainage swale would have little to no impact on surrounding residents.

Comment

As the area to be provided for use as a drainage swale is to be partitioned from Ferrara Reserve, it is considered that the compensation received from this exchange may be best used for design and construction of the Community Garden and in completing the upgrade and improved conditions of the reserve. It is also clearly evident that the community will welcome the opportunity to be involved in the completion of this project as there has been very strong local interest in the park due to the comprehensive consultation and involvement of local people at every stage of the project.

There is also strong interest from Montrose Primary School for students to continue their involvement and enjoyment of the reserve as part of a future Adopt-a-Park scheme and to possibly undertake some classroom activities in the park area. The Community Garden will enhance the profile and attractive aspect of the reserve as desired by the local residents who first proposed the Community Garden be built and the park be upgraded.

Administration will continue to pursue opportunities for donations of materials and sponsorship for the Community Garden and will involve the local residents in a planting day once it is built. An excellent opportunity to launch this long-awaited project exists with the timing of a Community Event in December 2006.

Statutory Compliance

The City contends that the use of this portion of this reserve in the manner proposed is consistent with the objectives of a 20A Reserve for Recreation and the parameters of the City of Wanneroo’s Management Order to ensure use and usability to the general public for recreational purposes.

Strategic Implications

The Ferrara Reserve Community Garden is consistent with the following City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan 2006-2021 outcome objectives:

“ Social

2.1 Increase choice and quality of neighbourhood and lifestyle options

2.2 Improve the City’s identity and community wellbeing through art’s, culture, leisure and recreation

2.3 Improve capacity of local communities to support each other”

Policy Implications

Nil

Financial Implications

In the 2006-2007 Budget Council has assigned $90,000 for the completion of the Ferrara Reserve Community Garden, with the total amount to be sourced through sponsorship and developer contribution.

If the proposed drainage swale concept and proposed compensatory sum of $155,000.00 is approved, the monetary compensation arising as a result of the partial change in land use at Ferrara Reserve, will provide the remaining funding required for the completion of the project, after costs of construction associated with the drainage swale. The Satterley Property Group will complete the construction works for the drainage swale.

The compensation payment sum has been calculated as follows:

Detail

Policy

The draft policy seeks to clearly articulate the framework, protocols and principles and responsibilities of each party. The protocols and principles, which accompany the draft policy, are included within Attachment 1. In addition to this the draft policy includes the development of a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Wanneroo and the Department of Education and Training.

The draft policy has been presented to Council Forum for information on 26 September 2006.

Memorandum of Understanding

Fundamental to the development and management of Joint Use Facilities, is the development of a sustainable partnership between the City of Wanneroo and the Department of Education and Training. To formalise this process, a draft MOU (Attachment 2) has been prepared to clearly articulate the joint objectives, outcomes, roles and responsibilities of both the City of Wanneroo and the Department of Education and Training and principles. Importantly, the MOU identifies the requirement for shared costs in relation to ongoing operations of these facilities.

The MOU is based on the notion that Administration and DET will work collaboratively to ensure the most efficient and effective use of resources.

The Department of Education and Training have been inherently involved in all stages of the development of the draft MOU.

Comment

The implementation of the policy and MOU will ensure continuity in the ongoing implementation of joint use facilities within the City of Wanneroo. These documents will also assist the City of Wanneroo in working with various government agencies, including the Western Australian Planning Commission, Department of Infrastructure and Planning and Department of Sport and Recreation, when it comes to planning for community facilities.

Statutory Compliance

DPI has a number of policies and guidelines it requires local governments to adhere to, to ensure Section 152 reserves (Crown Reserves) are intended for the recreational purposes of the general public. DPI is formally progressing the implementation of a Government Land Bulletin regarding “Licensing of S.152 Public Recreation” reserves to the Department of Education and Training for school sporting activities.

The arrangement of giving schools licences to use S.152 reserves during school hours is consistent with the WAPC Policy No. DC.2.4 and will be revised as a matter of course should any changes be made to the WAPC Policy. Organised sport promotes the objectives of public recreation and requires a degree of control and exclusion of the public’s rights of access at particular times.

Strategic Implications

The development of a policy to promote and implement the principles of shared use facilities with the Department of Education and Training, and adopting and implementing a Memorandum of Understanding with DET is consistent with the following City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan (2006-2021) objectives:-

“2 SOCIAL – healthy, safe, vibrant and connected communities.

2.1 Increase choice and quality of neighbourhood and lifestyle options.

2.2 Improve the City’s identity and community well-being through arts, culture, leisure and recreation.”

Policy Implications

This report recommends the implementation of the draft Shared Use of Facilities With The Department of Education and Training Policy, noting the development of a draft Memorandum of Understanding (Attachment 2) to support the policy’s implementation

Financial Implications

The financial implications resulting from the development of Joint Use Facilities with the Department of Education and Training will be listed for consideration within the Five Year Infrastructure Works Budget and Five Year Financial Plan as and when required.

Policy Manual

Shared Use Facilities with the Department of Education and Training

Policy Owner: Leisure and Cultural Services, Community Development

Distribution: All Directors, Managers, All Elected Members

Implementation: 1 May 2006

Scheduled Review: 1 May 2008

Objective

To provide a framework for the promotion and implementation of the Principles and Protocols for Shared Use Facilities between the Department of Education and Training and the City of Wanneroo.

Statement

The intent of the policy is to ensure both parties work collaboratively and that the most efficient and effective use of physical, and financial resources as well as social planning issues are considered to promote the use and opportunities for students and the community in the use of joint facilities.

Background

The City of Wanneroo (the City) and the Department of Education and Training (DET) have developed a set of protocols and principles to be considered when recommending the co-location of school sites with Public Open Space (POS) and/or the sharing of recreation and community facilities. The protocols and principles highlight the need for prior consensus regarding the planned use, development and ongoing management of the facilities before either party enters into a shared use arrangement and formal agreement.

A report was presented to Council at its meeting held on 14 March 2006 (CS04-03/06) regarding the provision of joint use hardcourts resulting in the following resolution being adopted:

“ENDORSES the development of a policy to promote and implement the Principles of Shared Use Facilities with the Department of Education and Training.”

The policy has been developed to provide clarity to the process of promoting and implementing the principles of shared use of facilities.

Definitions

Shared use can be defined as more than one party using another party’s facilities.

Public Open Space (in the context of this policy) is defined as an active playing field for structured sporting activities accessible to all members of the community and maintained by the City.

Recreational and community facilities include playfields, hardcourts, and indoor and outdoor recreational amenities, community health and multipurpose spaces for general community use.

1. Framework

The framework governing the development of shared use agreements between DET and COW consists at the elements of Policy, Protocols, Principles, Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Licence Agreements, as depicted below.

Policy

The policy document formalises the overarching framework to guide the development, implementation and ongoing management of shared use agreements between the City and DET.

Protocols and Principles

The Protocols and Principles have been developed as a set of rules and processes to be used which will allow shared use to be progressed in the most appropriate and collaborative manner for all stakeholders involved. The Protocols and Principles are outlined in more detail in Attachment A.

Memorandum Of Understanding

The Memorandum of Understanding is an agreement between the Minister for Education and the Mayor and CEO of the City of Wanneroo. The MOU defines the roles and responsibilities of both organisations in relation to the sharing of facilities. The MOU is applicable to all shared use agreements.

Licence Agreement

The Licence Agreement is a written agreement between the City of Wanneroo and the Minister for Education outlining the day to day operating requirements of a shared use facility including the terms and conditions for sharing facilities. Each Licence Agreement is specific to the individual school site.

2. Responsibility for Implementation

Manager Leisure and Cultural Services. The Manager Leisure and Cultural Services will work with all appropriate DET representatives and City staff to ensure all processes are conducted in a professional and efficient manner.

PROTOCOL FOR CONSIDERING CO-LOCATION OF SCHOOL SITES WITH PUBLIC OPEN SPACE

January 2006

PROTOCOL FOR CONSIDERING CO-LOCATION OF SCHOOL SITES WITH PUBLIC OPEN SPACE

Purpose

To establish a protocol for the City of Wanneroo (City) and the Department of Education and Training (DET) to follow when considering proposals to co-locate schools and public open space.

Background

The Western Australian Planning Commission Policy sets out the general criteria and design standards for the provision of school sites in residential areas.

The policy generally allows for primary school sites of 4 hectares in area and high school sites of 10 hectares in area.

There is provision in the policy for the area of school sites to be reduced, where the school site is co-located with public open space, the open space is fully utilised by the school and where arrangements are in place to provide for long term management contributions from the education provider to the Local Government.

As primary school sites are provided by the development industry free of cost to the Government, there appears to be an increased trend toward co-location. In principle, this should be of benefit to both the State and Local Government, given that it provides for a more efficient use of land and resources.

In recent times however, co-location has been assumed appropriate, rather than the merits of each case being subject to individual assessment. There are generally no development principles established for each party to be guided by and consequently development outcomes are often not maximised. In addition, maintenance agreements are not prepared which has resulted in inequitable cost sharing and conflicts in respect to the development and use of the open space.

Detail

To address these issues and ensure that maximum benefit is derived from co-locating schools and open space, it is critical that prior agreement exists regarding the planned use, development and ongoing management of the open space. The desirability of co-location needs to be specifically determined in each case. To maximise flexibility, the decision to proceed with co-location is most appropriately made at the structure planning stage.

To assist in making such a decision, and in order to properly plan for co-location, the following issues need to be determined at the respective stage of the planning and development process.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 3 of 4

Structure Plan Stage

Agreement on the following items is to be negotiated between the City, the DET and where appropriate, the developer:

· School and open space location (spacing, catchments etc);

· Area of the school and open space sites;

· Configuration of the individual and overall site;

· Topography of the individual and overall site;

· Form and extent of any public utility infrastructure, such as drainage, easements etc within the overall site;

· Transport integration (road capacity, paths, street parking, set down areas, traffic management etc);

· Determination of joint facilities eg active/passive recreation, car parks, access points, hall, library, other partnering opportunities etc;

· Key development principles, such as car park locations, school entry location, active playing field location, vegetation protection, utility service connection points etc. This should take the form of a concept plan with appropriate notations, in sufficient detail to demonstrate that the key development principles and major land use components can be accommodated;

· Key principles for sharing of development, use and maintenance of joint facilities, including cost sharing and likely timing of development of the school and open space, as well as design and construction responsibilities.

It is envisaged that the agreed principles would be contained within an exchange of letters and also within the structure planning documentation.

Subdivision Stage

· The developer is to cede or otherwise set aside serviced land for school and open space;

· A traffic impact study/safety audit is to be undertaken and recommended traffic management works implemented;

· Frontage roads are to be designed and constructed with appropriate traffic management, parking, set down areas, paths etc;

· Development timeframes for the school and open space is to be estimated.

Design and Development Stage

· The City is to become involved in the DET School Project Consultation Group as necessary;

· The school and open space design and construction is to be undertaken in accordance with the previously agreed principles and normal development requirements (an information package/guidelines should be developed to assist with this process);

· Onsite car parking is to be designed and constructed;

· An appropriate formal written agreement relating to the development, use, and maintenance of shared infrastructure is to be entered into between the City and the Minister for Education. Where appropriate this should also include the developer. This should be based on a standard template, with variations as necessary.

ATTACHMENT 1

Page 4 of 4

The detailed terms of the agreement would need to be negotiated between the City and the DET, however key principles should be as set out on Attachment 1;

· Ongoing maintenance commences in accordance with the agreement.

KEY PRINCIPLES FOR JOINT USE AGREEMENT

Development

· The City constructs the open space, including turf, bores, pumps, reticulation, landscaping and other infrastructure such as practice wickets, football goal posts etc;

· The DET provides a 50% contribution (or such other sum as agreed based on the area that the DET would normally provide on the school site) toward the cost of the open space development at the time of the school opening;

· Contributions towards other infrastructure, such as car parks, toilet blocks and change rooms etc are negotiated on an individual basis; and

· The City and DET agree to enter into negotiations to contribute toward future capital works, based on an evaluation of school and community needs where appropriate.

Use

The City maintains overall booking responsibility for the open space;

· The DET has exclusive use of the shared open space during school hours (say 9am to 3.30pm or such other hours as agreed) excluding school holiday periods; and

· A process is outlined for each party to follow in the event that it wishes to use shared facilities outside agreed times.

Maintenance

o The City maintains entire shared open space area;

o The DET provides a 50% contribution (or such other sum as agreed based on the area and facilities the DET would normally provide on the school site) to the City, based on the City’s costs to maintain the facility. Maintenance includes the following:

o turf mowing, fertilising, renovations, top dressing;

o bore and pump maintenance;

o watering costs;

o maintenance of other shared infrastructure such as cricket practice wickets;

o landscaping;

Issue

To consider the outcome of lease termination discussions held with the Badminton Association of WA (BAWA), for the Kingsway International Sports Stadium (the Stadium).

Background

At its meeting of 29 August 2006, Council considered report CD13-08/06 outlining the Future Management Options for the Kingsway Regional Sports Stadium.

The report advised that Council had received a proposal from BAWA outlining two scenarios for the future management of the centre. These were as follows:

Scenario 1 – City of Wanneroo Management of the Centre

This scenario would see the City of Wanneroo undertaking to manage the centre independently of BAWA. This would be based on Administration and BAWA negotiating the termination of the current lease, and proposes the following outcomes:

· BAWA to receive a lump sum payment from the City in recognition of the remaining proportion of its 35 year lease, that is the balance of the combined $1,000,000 BAWA/DSR contribution which is identified within the proposal as being in effect rent in advance.

· BAWA be given a lease or licence to use an area of the centre as a State Administration Office.

· BAWA be given the first right to use the various facilities at concessional rates to be negotiated.

Scenario 2 – Management of the Centre by a Commercial Entity

This scenario is based on the appointment of an external private management group by BAWA to undertake the day-to-day management of the facility.

The proposal indicated that Scenario 1 was the preferred option of the BAWA Board.

As a result Council resolved to:

“1. NOTES the receipt of the Badminton Association of WA’s proposal regarding the future management options for the Kingsway International Sports Stadium as included within Attachment 1.

2. AUTHORISES the Chief Executive Officer to write to the Badminton Association of WA, advising that:

a) The City of Wanneroo is agreeable to the termination of the lease.

b) The City is not in support of Scenario 1 as outlined within the Badminton Association of WA’s proposal, and based on current information considers Scenario 2 to contravene the existing lease.

3. ENDORSES IN PRINCIPLE City of Wanneroo management of the Kingsway International Sports Stadium.

4. NOTES that a further report will be provided to Council at its meeting on 31 October 2006 to advise of the outcome of lease termination negotiations and the implications for the management of the Kingsway International Sports Stadium by the City of Wanneroo until June 2008.”

As a result, Administration has written to BAWA advising of Council’s resolution on the matter and the Chief Executive Officer has undertaken negotiations with BAWA Board relating to the termination of the existing lease agreement.

Detail

Administration has met with the BAWA Board and Officers on a number of occasions in the course of negotiating the termination of the existing BAWA lease over the Stadium.

The offer put to BAWA by Administration as per these negotiations is summarised as follows:

· Subject to the terms summarised below and subsequently endorsed by Council, the City of Wanneroo would support the surrender of the BAWA lease over the Stadium on a ‘as is’ basis and waive any future obligations on the part of BAWA under the provisions of the Lease.

· Provision of Office Space within the Centre on an ongoing basis, for use as a BAWA State Administration Office. Initial term and options to be negotiated as per the City’s Tenancy Policy, with agreed lease to be reported to Council separately for consideration.

· Accommodation of existing badminton court bookings for training purposes at a rate of $5 per court per hour. Court usage to be booked on an annual basis and the hire fee being subject to Council’s annual review of its Schedule of Fees and Charges.

· Accommodation of existing multi purpose court and room hire bookings at an hourly hire rate to be determined, based on existing hourly hire rates and market rates for similar community recreation facilities. Court usage to be booked on an annual basis, with the hire fee being subject to Council’s annual review of its Schedule of Fees and Charges

· Allocation of up to ten (10) badminton courts for up to ten (10) weekend major events. Event bookings to be made on an annual basis and the hire fee to be confirmed, however based on the $5 per court per hour hire rate and market rates for similar community recreation facilities The hire fee being subject to Council’s annual review of its Schedule of Fees and Charges.

· Payment of a one-off ex gratia payment to support the re-establishment of the Association, being a maximum figure of $200,000 minus outstanding debts and maintenance liabilities. Payment to occur in September 2007.

· Handover of the facility to the City of Wanneroo to occur on 1 January 2007.

In correspondence the BAWA Board have advised of its in principle acceptance of the offer, subject to final endorsement by its Membership at a Special General Meeting to be held in November 2006 (Attachment 1). The Association has flagged its intention to seek the following concessions:

· Payment of a portion of the ex gratia payment in January 2007.

· The City to write off any outstanding maintenance liability.

Consultation

Nil.

Comment

It is the intention of Administration to manage the Stadium as a Community Recreation facility, providing a wide range of community based sporting and leisure activities to meet the needs of the community. In doing so it is acknowledged that the Stadium will be deficit funded, with Administration seeking to ensure the effective management of the funding deficit within approved budget parameters.

In terms of staffing, the initial 18 month period (1 January 2007 to 30 June 2008) will see the appointment of key management and programme staff. This includes a full time Centre Manager, Programme Officer, part time Administration Officer, Customer Service Officers and Cleaning/Maintenance Officer and casual sport coaches, umpires and instructors.

During this period, programme development will focus on the development of existing programmes, augmented by additional programme activities, utilising existing facilities. Maintenance to ensure regulatory compliance and to bring the facility up to the standards expected of a City of Wanneroo facility will also be undertaken. Upgrades of the function room and re-branding of the facility ahs also been allowed for during this period.

Capital expenditure has been limited to the provision of sports equipment, equipment for administration and reception, cleaning equipment, tables and chairs, and upgrades to the function room.

The focus will be on developing positive relationships with existing users (including BAWA) and the surrounding community to principally develop a greater awareness of the facility and the programmes and activities on offer.

Multi marking of the sport courts, provision of a creche, kiosk group fitness room and gymnasium has not been planned until after the 30 June 2008 milestone.

Administration recommends proceeding with the negotiations as detailed in the letter from the Badminton Association dated 13 October 2006. This outcome provides the opportunity to defer or delete the future development of the proposed Darch Community Centre (estimated budget of $2 million).

Statutory Compliance

Clause 3.21 of the Lease provides an entitlement for BAWA to sublet or transfer the Lease subject to certain conditions being met, with the prior written approval of the Lessor (City). This clause includes the following condition:

“The covenants and agreements on the part of any such sublessee, assignee or transferee shall be deemed to be supplementary to the Lesee's covenants set out herein and shall not in any way relieve or be deemed to relieve the Lessee from its liability hereunder.”

Therefore, whilst BAWA could seek to assign the Lease, the Association would ultimately remain responsible for the performance of the Lease conditions.

The arrangement proposed by BAWA under Scenario 2 for the appointment of a private management group, is not technically an assignment, but is likely to constitute an arrangement that would actually result in BAWA being in default of the Lease. Clause 5.3 lists as a default condition "if any person shall be in occupation or possession of the premises or in receipt of the rent other than the lessee or an approved sublessee". As the private management option proposes for a company to take day to day control over most of the building, including the collection of revenues, this is considered to be a default under clause 5.3.

Should the City wish to consider a direct Lease with a private management company, then negotiations would need to comply with the requirements of section 3.58 of the Local Government Act 1995. In that instance, unless the Lease resulted from a tender or auction process, the public notice provisions of section 3.58(3) would apply.

Due consideration will be required to be given to Section 6.8 (1) (b) of the Local Government Act (1995) as it relates to unbudgeted expenditure.

Strategic Implications

The proposed direction supports the following City of Wanneroo Strategic Plan outcomes and objectives.

Financial Implications

The financial implications for the management of the centre by the City of Wanneroo for the period from January 2007 to June 2008 are as follows:

Actual Cash Flows associated with the Management of the Kingsway International Sports Stadium

	2006/07 (6 months)	2007/08 (12 months)
Income	$114,410	$228,920
Expenditure	$340,650	$547,605
Net Operating Costs/ Managed Deficit	$226,240	$318,685

Capital Cost	$87,690	$0

One-Off Ex gratia Payment	$66,700	$133,300

Total Funding Required	$380,630	$451,985

Figures are estimates based on expected revenue generation and staffing, maintenance and fit out requirements based on current known extent.

It is important to note that during the proposed management of the Stadium by the City of Wanneroo up until 30 June 2008, the Stadium will be required to run on an operational basis. This will require the following:

· Continuation of existing, and development of new, programmes and services where appropriate.

· Payment of salaries and wages for key facility management and programme staff.

· Centre promotion and re-branding.

· Furniture fit out requirements (including sporting equipment).

· Building maintenance, cleaning and compliance costs.

The ex gratia payment to a maximum of $200,000 has been offered to BAWA to offset the losses incurred by BAWA for the period of its operation of the facility and to assist in the re-establishment of the Association. The ex gratia payment is subject to the deduction of outstanding debts owed to the current value of $39,781, subject to finalisation of negotiations. The ex gratia payment has been listed in 2006/07 to cover the outcomes of the final negotiated position between Administration and BAWA. Should a portion of the ex gratia payment be made in 2006/07, the balance will be carried forward to the 2007/08 financial tear.

The current Five Year Financial Plan has not made an allowance for the costs associated with management of the facility up until June 2008. Whilst the sum of $313,685 can be accommodated within the 2007/2008 budget, the sum of $513,930 for 2006/07 remains as unbudgeted expenditure.

This is on the basis that the management of the Stadium and the contribution of a one off ex gratia payment to a maximum of $200,000 were not anticipated during the preparation of the 2006/07 operating budget.

As a result, this report will seek Council’s authorisation in advance to expend funds to the value of $513,930 during the period 1 January 2007 to 30 June 2007, as per Section 6.8 (1) (b) of the Local Government Act (1995).

A further report will be presented to Council at its meeting on 12 December 2006 to consider the Schedule of Fees and Charges for the Stadium under City of Wanneroo management.

It should also be noted that there is a potential long term benefit for Council, in that the management of the Stadium by the City of Wanneroo may relieve Council of the need to provide a community facility within Darch, conservatively estimated at $2M.

Issue

To note the offer of three emergency management grants received by the City of Wanneroo in the 2006 Local Grants Scheme and Volunteer Support Fund and approve their expenditure in the 2006/2007 budget.

Background

The City of Wanneroo applied for three emergency management grants under the 2006 ‘Working Together to manage emergencies” grant scheme. There were three grants in total applied for by the City of Wanneroo, two applications were made under the Local Grants scheme, and one application was made under the Emergency Volunteer Support Fund on behalf of the Quinns Rocks Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade.

The Local Grants Scheme is an annual grant scheme which has been operating over the past three years which provides grants to fund projects that enhance the capability of communities to prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies and disasters arising from any hazard where those projects may not be covered by other existing Australian Government programs. A notional cap of $50,000 (plus GST) is available for each individual grant. However, in some circumstances, this cap may be exceeded if the project is considered to be cost effective with measurable high value returns to the community.

Local councils, non-incorporated local government areas, remote communities and indigenous communities are eligible to apply for funding under the Local Grants Scheme. The scheme gives priority to projects that develop and promote effective community preparedness, response and recovery initiatives, enhance protective measures for critical infrastructure, in order to reduce vulnerability to identified risks within a community.

In addition to the Local Grants Scheme, The National Emergency Volunteer Support Fund provides grants to fund projects that boost recruitment, retention and training strategies of volunteer organisations at the frontline of emergency management. Priority under this scheme is given to projects submitted which seek funding for particular strategies that enhance recruitment, retention and training of volunteers in emergency management agencies.

Detail

The City of Wanneroo has been successful in attracting a total of $146,334 in three separate grants for emergency management related activities.

The City was successful in attracting $46,234 for the provision of an emergency generator for the Emergency and Recovery Co-ordination Centre housed at the Ashby Depot, and $89,100 to construct a shared training room and recovery centre within the new Quinns Rocks Volunteer Fire Brigade Station under the annual Local Grants Scheme. Under the Volunteer Grants Scheme, a grant of $11,000 was awarded to the Quinns Rocks Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade for audio visual equipment for training.

The emergency generator application was made to provide a generator to the City of Wanneroo/City of Joondalup shared Emergency Coordination Centre (ECC)/ Emergency Recovery Coordination Centre (ERCC) facility (used by multiple agencies) of a capacity to allow telephones, lights and power points and critical communication links to operate in the ECC/ERCC in the case of loss of power in an emergency. A current small capacity generator set provides limited emergency power to the ECC/ERCC however, it is not sufficient to run the required power points, any telephones, base radios for continued communications with the field, or sufficient lighting for the centre to remain operational in an emergency.

The facility has been used on a number of occasions to conduct multi agency training to enhance preparation and preparedness for major emergencies including state wide responses. The agencies that may use the facility to assist with emergency co-ordination / recovery coordination could be any agency that provides a service to the community during an emergency, and some examples of past agencies that have used the facility both in live response situations, and in training, include; Fire and Emergency Services Authority, Police, Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades, Cities of Wanneroo and Joondalup, St John Ambulance, Department of Conservation and Land Management, Department of Community Development, State Emergency Services, the Salvation Army and the Red Cross.

The City of Wanneroo has activated the centre both as an ECC and ERCC in the past, and it has also been used as an Emergency Operations Centre for Bushfire response co-ordination between Fire and Emergency Services, Police, Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades and the City of Wanneroo in the Neerabup peat fire that started in November 2005. The centre has radio base sets that allow operational radio communication with services from FESA, City of Wanneroo services (such as Rangers, Waste and Heavy Moving Equipment) and the Volunteer Bush Fire Brigades. A back up generator set will ensure that the facility will have a continued link from the building to communication towers for continued communications during an emergency.

The second grant has been awarded to build a shared Training Room and Emergency Operations / Recovery Co-ordination Centre, Clarkson co-located with the new Quinns Rocks Volunteer Fire Brigade Station, and it exceeds the notional cap for the grant due to the regional nature of the project. The grant will allow an additional room to be built on the new Quinns Rocks Volunteer Fire Brigade Station for which construction will begin late 2006. The room (approximately 7m by 10m) will be used for the dual purposes of a Training Room for the Quinns Rocks Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade and for multi agency emergency management exercises for the region, and as an Emergency Operations / Recovery Co-ordination Centre (ECC/ERCC) when required by the City of Wanneroo and other agencies in a multi response emergency situation.

The building of this facility is an element of a larger project to build the Quinns Rocks Volunteer Fire Station in the suburb of Clarkson. Funding of $200,000 has been committed to the Fire Station component of this facility under the Emergency Services Levy funding, however, this funding does not accommodate the building of a dedicated training room and ECC/ERCC as part of the project.

Comment

As these three grants were not budgeted for in the 2006/2007 annual budget, it is requested that Council authorise the expenditure of the three grants, totalling $146,334 in the current financial year, and authorises the Chief Executive Officer to sign the associated funding agreement with the Australian Government Attorney-General's Department.

Issue

To consider the schedule of meeting dates for 2007.

Background

In accordance with the Local Government Act 1995, a local government is to give local public notice of its ordinary meeting dates for the next 12 months.

In February 2000 the City resolved to trial a combination of a Committee and portfolio system of council with two full council meetings per month. This system after extensive public consultation was reviewed and in January 2001, a three weekly meeting cycle comprising a briefing session (week one) full council meeting (week two) and Councillor/Staff Policy Forum (week three) was established.

In addition to the three weekly meeting cycle, Council resolved on 01 July 2003 to adopt a Policy and Local Laws Committee to develop and review Council’s strategic policies and local laws and to rename the Policy Forum to Council Forum.

On 26 April 2006 Council resolved to disband the Policy and Local Laws Committee due to a fall in the number of items presented to this committee, and incorporate items that would normally have been considered by this committee, into the Council Forum agenda. At the same time Council resolved to formulate an Audit Committee as per Section 7.1 of the Local Government Act 1995.

The Council Forum committee alternates with the Audit Committee and meets every six weeks or as otherwise required.

Comment

The current three weekly cycle of meetings is working well and it is suggested that this system be maintained.

Week 1: Briefing Session commencing at 6.00 pm.

Week 2: Council meeting commencing at 7pm. A deputation session is held prior to Council meetings.

Week 3: Council Forum or Audit Committee meeting as required.

Council is in recess during January each year, and meetings are set from February to December to be held on a Tuesday evening.

Statutory Compliance

Legislation – Statutory Provisions: Section 5.3 of the Local Government Act 1995 states:

“Ordinary and Special Council meetings:

(1) A Council is to hold ordinary meetings and may hold special meetings;

(2) Ordinary meetings are to be held not more than three months apart;

(3) If a Council fails to meet as required by subsection (2) the CEO is to notify the Minister of that failure.”

Regulation 12 of the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 states:

“Public Notice of Council or Committee meetings:-

12 (1) At least once each year a local government is to give local public notice of the dates on which and the time and place at which –

(a) the ordinary Council meetings; and

(b) the Committee meetings that are required under the Act to be open to members of the public or that are proposed to be open to members of the public;

are to be held in the next 12 months;

(2) A local government is to give local public notice of any change to the date, time or place of a meeting referred to in sub regulation (1);

Strategic Implications

This is consistent with the City of Wanneroo’s strategic objective to “maintain a high standard of governance and accountability.”

Issue

To update Council on the progress of the Community Engagement phase of the Wanneroo Town Centre revitalisation project.

Background

The purpose of this report is to update Council on the progress of the community engagement phase, in particular the Community Vision and Key Themes to be used in the next stage. The Community Vision and Key Themes draft report October 2006 (Attachment 1) has also been passed to the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) membership for information and comment.

Council approved the consultancy for the Community Engagement and Wanneroo Town Centre Structure Plan Review on 31 January 2006 and The Planning Group consulting team were appointed in February 2006. Over the past six months a range of community engagement strategies have taken place and culminated in a document outlining a range of key themes and a vision.

TAG will use this document over the next six months to develop strategies, actions and resource needs and develop a Broad Based Action Plan. This plan will be presented to Council and State Government for consideration of resources over the next one to ten years.

The draft report was presented to the Wanneroo Town Centre Advisory Committee (WTCAC) on the 17 October 2006. The WTCAC acknowledged the report and recommends it be noted by Council.

Detail

Council also approved the establishment of a Community Visioning Taskforce on the 31 January 2006. This Taskforce has worked with State Government and City representatives from the TAG and the consultant over the past months as the consultation phases progressed. The first phase of consultation was a series of focus groups and residents and local government representatives attended these. The meetings identified opportunities to encourage greater service delivery and activation in the Town Centre, whilst ensuring it remained accessible to all Wanneroo citizens.

At the same time, a parallel process of consultation was undertaken by the City of Wanneroo with students from the Wanneroo High School as part of a youth visioning workshop.

A second phase of consultation was conducted through the a series of Dialogue Café’s held at the City of Wanneroo Civic Centre in September and was attended by over 180 representatives from community groups, businesses, local government, state government agencies and private enterprise.

Comment

A draft report was presented to the Visioning Taskforce on 4 October 2006. The TaskForce workshopped the draft and provided feedback. The TaskForce also confirmed a draft Vision for Wanneroo Town Centre.

Financial Implications

The financials related to this project are included in this year’s capital budget. State Government and the City jointly fund the project.

To consider the closure of the City of Wanneroo Civic Centre, Libraries, Ashby Operation Centre and Aquamotion from 1pm Friday, 22 December 2006 and reopening Wednesday, 3 January 2007.

Background

Council at its meeting of 1 November 2005 resolved the following -

“That Council: -

1. AGREE to the closure of the City of Wanneroo from 1.00 pm on Friday
23 December 2005.

2. AGREE to the closure of the City of Wanneroo Civic Centre, Libraries and Depot facility from Monday, 26 December 2005 to Tuesday, 3 January 2006 (inclusive).

3. ADVERTISE the opening hours of the Administration Building & Recreation Facilities over the Christmas and New Year break clearly to the general public.”

Council at its meeting of 10 October 2006 resolved the following –

“That Council: -

ENDORSES the closure of the libraries from 18 December 2006 to 1^st January 2007 inclusive.”

Comment

Council notes the administrative closure of the Civic Centre, Libraries and Operation Centre to be closed at 1.00pm on Friday, 22 December 2006, so that all employees can attend an informal gathering at the Civic Centre.

This year, public holidays fall on Monday, 25 December, Tuesday, 26 December 2006 and Monday, 1 January 2007. It is envisaged that minimal requests for services by our customers will be received on the 27, 28 & 29 December 2006 and accordingly it is recommended that non-essential employees, by mutual agreement, be given an opportunity to take leave during this period.

Administration staff will be requested to take Tuesday, 2 January 2007 as their day-in-lieu of public service holiday after New Years’ Day. Council’s outside staff will be requested to either take the day as an annual leave or a rostered day off. The Chief Executive Officer, Directors and Managers will have the option available to take either an executive day or annual leave on Tuesday, 2 January 2007.

During this period the City will require mutual agreement between employees and employer as outlined in the Certified Agreements and Awards. Staff who wish to work throughout the proposed Christmas closure will be permitted to do so but it is proposed the Civic Centre, Libraries and Operation Centre remain closed to the public.

Specific Service Unit staff will be required to work throughout the proposed closure period. These are as follows: -

· Ranger Services - will be available throughout the entire Christmas and New Year period. They will be operating using their standard roster system and making themselves available to the community via the City’s switchboard services or Insight Contact Centre.

· Animal Care Centre - will be open every day, except Christmas Day, between
4pm – 6pm.

· Community Centres - will be available on a booking basis from Monday, 25 December 2006 to Wednesday, 3 January 2007. Key holders for these facilities will be arranged prior to the organisations closure.

· Aquamotion – will be open every day except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day.

· Parks Team - 50% of the team will be rostered between Wednesday, 27 December and Friday, 29 December and on Tuesday, 2 January 2007. An emergency after hours number will also be used to contact supervisors regarding urgent requests such as park sprinklers and fallen or dangerous trees.

· Engineering Maintenance Team - 30-50% of the team will be rostered between Wednesday, 27 December and Friday, 29 December 2006 and on Tuesday, 2 January 2007. An emergency after hours number will also be used to contact supervisors regarding urgent requests such as oil spills and storm damage.

· Waste Services Customer Call Centre - will be operating between 6am – 1pm between Tuesday, 26 December and Saturday, 30 December and on Tuesday, 2 January 2007. On Saturday 6 January 2007 the Waste Services Customer Call Centre will also be open between 6am – 1pm due to scheduled waste collections.

· IT Services - will be rostering staff cover between Wednesday, 27 December and Friday, 29 December 2006 and on Tuesday, 2 January 2007. This is to ensure that any computer or other IT issues are addressed immediately for staff throughout the organisation that are either rostered or choose to work during the closure. The IT Helpdesk will be manned between 8.30am – 5pm.

In an effort to reduce costs to Council, staff that would prefer to continue working during the Christmas closure will answer the City’s telephone calls as an alternative to using Insight Contact Centre Services. Insight would still be required to answer calls after the usual business hours, during the weekend and public holidays. By opening the City’s Switchboard, costs saved to Council are estimated at $10,000.

This proposal will assist the organisation to reduce annual leave liabilities, support the Fitness for Work procedure in ensuring employees are supported to take recreational leave and provide an opportunity for all employees within different Directorates to get together socially and for the Chief Executive Officer to provide an update on the progress of the Strategic Plan and other important issues.

Issue

To consider the sponsorship of one student from each high school within the City of Wanneroo and the Youth Advisory Council to participate in the National Young Leaders Day.

Background

Each year thousands of secondary students from across Australia attend the National Young Leaders’ Day. These annual leadership-training days are held in November each year. They target top leaders, such as school captains, prefects, sporting captains and young community leaders.

Detail

This year’s event is being held in Perth on 10 November 2006 at the Perth Convention Centre. The objectives of the day are to:

· Inspire students to make a positive contribution to their school

· Motivate students to be great leaders in their area of influence

· Empower students with the practical skills of balancing study, school commitments and social life, as well as managing the stress in these areas

· Promote the value of inspirational and positive role models as examples to others, by exposing students to a diverse range of leaders and their views of leadership.

Comment

As elected members we are leaders in our community and I feel strongly that as a community leader we have the responsibility to invest the capacity of our future community leaders. Opportunities such as this Young Leaders Day assist local government in establishing links with our future leaders and as a result I believe that the City of Wanneroo should provide sponsorship to a student from each of our high schools to attend this event as well as the City of Wanneroo Youth Advisory Committee..

It is suggested that Council request each School Principal to nominate one student from Year 12 to attend this event.

Statutory Compliance

Nil

Strategic Implications

Council is committed to providing support to the community to encourage its citizens and stakeholders participation in the governance of its community.

Nil

Financial Implications

Based on all 14 High Schools within the City of Wanneroo nominating a student plus two members of the Youth Advisory Committee, the maximum cost to Council is $880, which can be accommodated through allocated funds for Elected Member training.

Voting Requirements

Simple Majority

Recommendation

That Council APPROVE the sponsorship of one Year 12 student from all High Schools within the City of Wanneroo and two members of the Youth Advisory Committee to attend the National Young Leaders Day in Perth on Friday 10 November 2006.

Issue

To consider a Community Funding application received from the Yanchep Two Rocks Recreation Association requesting support for the 2006 Blessing of the Fleet event to be held on
19 November 2006.

Background

The City of Wanneroo Community Funding Program has two rounds per year, one in March and one in October. The March round of funding is appropriate for projects or events to be held from July to December and applications for the October round are for projects or events to be held from January to June the following year.

Applications for the October 2006 round close on 3 November 2006 with final assessment of the applications to be made at Council’s meeting on the 12 December 2006.

The Yanchep Two Rocks Recreation Association have submitted an application requesting support towards the 2006 Blessing of the Fleet event to be considered under the October 2006 round of Community Funding. The event is going to be held on the 19 November 2006, which is prior to Council’s assessment of applications. It is unfortunate that this organisation had not finalised their intention to run the 2006 Blessing of the Fleet until after the March Community Funding round was closed therefore they were not able to apply for support from that round.

Detail

The application requests an amount of $2,027.26 from the City of Wanneroo Community Funding Program with the total cost of the event amount to $9,027.26. This amount does not include the value of in kind contributions, which amounts to $2,560.00 providing an indication of the large amount of volunteer time that goes into running this community event.

This application meets the necessary criteria of the Community Funding Policy including incorporation, public liability insurance and the provision of appropriate quotes. The Blessing of the Fleet event aims to provide an opportunity for the community to participate in the traditional blessing of the fleet, gain awareness of the cray fishing industry, a free day out for all the family to enjoy and an opportunity for local groups to raise valuable funds for their operations.

The Yanchep Two Rocks Recreation Association successfully ran the 2005 Blessing of the Fleet, having taken over from the previous organisers for the first time. The event was not only well attended, it was very well run, bringing it back to its traditional roots.

Comment

The Yanchep Two Rocks Recreation Association provide a variety of events that they fund themselves with very little money coming through from donations from the community. The association is pivotal within the community in ensuring that events and programs go ahead including the Blessing of the Fleet and youth school holiday activities. The association ask for very little assistance from the City of Wanneroo and have not requested a donation or a waiver of fees for the entire year towards any of its activities.
