1.3 Declaration of pecuniary interests, significant non-pecuniary interests and less than significant non-pecuniary interests
The provisions of Chapter 14 of the Local Government Act, 1993 (the Act) regulate the way in which Councillors and designated staff of Council conduct themselves to ensure that there is no conflict between their private interests and their public role.
The Act prescribes that where a member of Council (or a Committee of Council) has a direct or indirect financial (pecuniary) interest in a matter to be considered at a meeting of the Council (or Committee), that interest must be disclosed as soon as practicable after the start of the meeting and the reasons given for declaring such interest.
As members are aware, the provisions of the Local Government Act restrict any member who has declared a pecuniary interest in any matter from participating in the discussion or voting on that matter, and requires that member to vacate the Chamber.
Council’s Code of Conduct provides that if members have a non-pecuniary conflict of interest, the nature of the conflict must be disclosed. The Code of Conduct also provides for a number of ways in which a member may manage non pecuniary conflicts of interest.
Recommendation It is recommended that Councillors now disclose any conflicts of interest in matters under consideration by the Council at this meeting.

POLICY AND GOVERNANCE IMPLICATIONS
Under the Local Government (General) Regulation 2005, Council may establish those Committees it deems appropriate. Any such Committees established are governed by Council’s adopted Code of Meeting Practice and Committee Members are required to comply with Council’s Code of Meeting Practice and Code of Conduct.
Once a Community Committee network is established by Council, expressions of interests will be sought from interested community members and appropriate agencies.
The results of this process, together with the final Charter for each Committee, will then be presented to Council for adoption.
STAFF COMMENT
According to the Census 2016 there are 32 current residents of Orange who were born in Ireland. Of those, 7 arrived in Orange between 1956-65, 5 between 1966-75, 3 between 1976-1985, 3 between 1996-2005, and 4 between 2006 and 2010.
Of all residents in the Orange LGA, 5,567 stated that one parent, or both, were born in Ireland. From an ancestral perspective, 10.1% of the Orange population have an Irish parent or parents.
The data is a factual statement of parentage and is not a statement on how people identify their ethnicity.
Following the English (which would include the Cornish community in Orange, as Cornish people are not separately identified in the Census), the largest groups by foreign ancestry are Irish, Scottish, German and Greek.
In terms of recent arrivals (2006-2010), the largest migrant groups are:
• Indian
• New Zealand
• Philippines
• Zimbabwe
• British
• Chinese
• Korean
• New Zealand
• South Africa
Under ‘Live’ theme the elected Council committed to creating a ‘healthy, inclusive and vibrant community’ including social inclusion as a core priority.
In order to progress this proposal, it is recommended that the Council Administration prepare a report for the elected Council on the establishment of an Irish Cultural Heritage Committee and also the establishment of an alternative Cultural Committee which encompasses a variety of ethnic group. The report will have particular regard to the following:
1 The potential social and economic benefits of an Irish Heritage committee and event for the community;
2 The cost of establishing and supporting the committee and event, and the extent and sources of Budget funding for this initiative;
3 The potential interest of other ancestral communities in establishing Cultural Heritage Committees and events;
4 Potential models for Council support for ancestral community recognition and events as part of the development of a Resident Attraction and Welcome Plan and Cultural and Community Events Plan to be developed by the Council Administration.
4.2 Rescission Motion - Development Application DA 362/2017(1) - Lot 701 Lords Place (Wade Park)
RECORD NUMBER: 2018/2507

The National Parks and Wildlife Service were quoted as saying that they were committed to opening the park as soon as possible. “For safety reasons the park has been closed over winter to allow for the winter snow and strong winds to dislodge any damaged trees to make safe the area for the construction phase of the repairs.” The spokeswoman said work had already begun to repair the Nature Track, the Summit track and Towac Way, starting with clearing and removing dangerous trees, with more substantial construction work to follow. “The plan is to repair the trails, signs and infrastructure that support the Great Volcanic Mountain Challenge as a priority. “Following those repairs, NPWS will work on the high visitation walking tracks including Federal Falls and the Walls walking tracks.” She said subject to favourable weather conditions, NPWS aimed to have facilities opened by late summer, in time for the Challenge. |

TRIM REFERENCE: 2018/2433
AUTHOR: Samantha Freeman, Manager Corporate Governance
EXECUTIVE Summary
It has been Council’s practice to close the Civic Centre, the Community Information and Services Centre and the Works Depot for the period between Christmas and New Year. This is traditionally a quiet time for Council, however some services continue to operate, and staff are on-call in the event of an emergency.
Council’s Code of Meeting Practice notes that Council Meetings are generally not held in January.
The report also seeks approval for the delegation of authority to the Mayor, Chairperson of the Planning and Development Committee and the General Manager to determine development applications and planning matters (except matters that cannot be delegated under Section 377(1) of the Local Government Act) over the recess period. This has also been standard practice in past years to ensure the development application processes and deadlines are managed.
Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan
The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “1.1 Our City - Provide easily obtainable information on the legal responsibilities of Councillors, Council staff and the community”.
Financial Implications
Nil
Policy and Governance Implications
The delegation of authority to the Mayor, Chairperson of the Planning and Development Committee and the General Manager will be in accordance with the Local Government Act 1993. Matters unable to be considered by this delegation will be referred to the next meeting after the recess period, scheduled for 5 February 2019.
That Council resolves: 1 The Civic Centre, Giyalang Ganya and Works Depot close down for the Christmas period from Monday 24 December 2018 to Tuesday 1 January 2019 (inclusive). 2 During the period 24 December 2018 to 5 February 2019, Council delegate its function to determine development applications and planning matters, with the exception of matters that cannot be delegated under the Local Government Act 1993 or the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, in circumstances where it is unreasonable to defer consideration of the matter, to the Mayor, Chairperson of the Planning and Development Committee, and the General Manager (so that the General Manager and either the Mayor OR the Chairperson of the Planning and Development Committee, are available to determine matters).
|
further considerations
The recommendation of this report has been assessed against Council’s other key risk categories and the following comments are provided:
Service Delivery |
Keeping the close down period to a minimum and having essential services on call will ensure services continue to be provided to the community. Council’s after hours service Alarm Australia will refer matters to on call staff as required. The proposed delegation over the recess period will ensure the timely determination of applications and planning matters over this period, ensuring Council’s level of service can be maintained. This will also ensure that applicants are not unreasonably delayed. |
Employees |
Employees will be able to enjoy a closedown period between Christmas and New Year. This is also an effective tool in managing work/life balance and leave balance levels. |
Stakeholders |
The closedown will be advertised to the community. |
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
This year Christmas Day falls on a Tuesday, and the gazetted public holidays are Tuesday 25 December 2018, Wednesday 26 December 2018, and Tuesday 1 January 2019.
It is recommended that Council close services for the four days on Monday 24th December, Thursday 27 December, Friday 28 December and Monday 31 December 2018.
Arrangements for services are as follows:
o The Visitor Information Centre will be open (except Christmas Day).
o The Caravan Park will be open, with a staff member on call Christmas Day (office closed).
o The Library will be open (except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day), with restricted hours on 24, 27, 28, 31 December 2018. Normal Hours on 29 and 30 December 2018.
o Children’s Services generally close for a two to three week period.
Council staff would be required to take leave on any days of closure, and Council’s normal after hours service would operate during that period.

further considerations
Consideration has been given to the recommendation’s impact on Council’s service delivery; image and reputation; political; environmental; health and safety; employees; stakeholders and project management; and no further implications or risks have been identified.
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
The North Orange Rotary submitted an application for financial assistance to support the ‘Lead the Way’ Fundraising Concert to raise money for the Guide Dogs Association NSW/ACT to train a guide dog for a visually impaired person in NSW or the ACT. The application was declined by the elected Council as it was not eligible under the Council’s Donations and Grants Policy.
The elected Council has adopted a Policy that grants must demonstrate that they will benefit residents of Orange unless there are exceptional circumstances. The decision was communicated to North Orange Rotary and the Council process was fully complied with.
A meeting was held between North Orange Rotary and Orange City Council. At the meeting the parties discussed the requirements of the Policy. It was noted that while the elected Council views Guide Dog training as a worthy and important cause, the Council has an obligation to the ratepayers of Orange to support their needs unless there are exceptional circumstances. While it would be desirable for the Council to be in a position to finance worthy causes for people with disabilities regardless of where they live, it has an obligation to use its very limited funds to prioritise people in Orange.
If the Council was to set the precedent that it will accept and approve grant funding applications for worthy causes from anywhere in Australia or the world, it would likely be inundated with requests which would take staff time away from providing services for the people of Orange and result in local ratepayers missing out on grant opportunities. While the Council has made grants to worthy causes outside the LGA, such as the drought assistance to surrounding farmers, the circumstances were exceptional and there was a clear link to the interests of the people of Orange LGA.
It was noted that the same standard has been applied to other organisations that have sought funding to support causes outside of the Orange LGA, and it would deny procedural fairness to those organisations to approve funding in this case.
The North Orange Rotary advised that it took these points on board, and understands that decisions needed to be made by the Council in accordance with its Policy.
The North Orange Rotary has advised that it has met with the Guide Dogs Association NSW/ACT and obtained agreement that the funds raised could be placed in trust to be made available to train a dog for one of the people who is currently on a waiting list for a guide dog in Orange. The Council has been requested to donate an amount equivalent to the expenses owed to the Council for the lease of the Theatre for the night.
Rotary was advised that if Council were to approve this request it would need to be paid over a period of time from the emergent funds in the 3rd and 4th quarter as the only other funds available at present are in the sports participation program, and expending these funds would result in some young people from Orange being unable to access support to participate in regional, national and international events.
It was agreed that the resolution above would be put to the elected Council for its consideration and decision.
If the Council approves this request in its discretion, the following funds will be available in the donation accounts:
