I would like to acknowledge the Wiradjuri people who are the Traditional Custodians of the Land. I would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present of the Wiradjuri Nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginal Australians who are present.

1.5     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.

Portfolio Advice

Council utilises the services of an independent investment advisor in maintaining its portfolio of investments. Council’s current investment advisor is Imperium Markets, an independent asset consultant that works with wholesale investors to develop, implement and manage their investment portfolio. Imperium Markets is a leading provider of independent investment consulting services to a broad range of institutional investors including government agencies, superannuation funds and not-for-profit organisations.

Imperium Markets major services provided to Council include:

·    Quarterly portfolio summary reports

·    Advice on investment opportunities, in particular Floating Rate Note products

·    Advice on policy construction

·    Year-end market values for Floating Note Rate products held by Council.

 

Portfolio Performance

Council’s current Long Term Financial Plan establishes the benchmark for Council’s interest on investments at “75 basis points above the current cash rate”. The cash rate as at 31 October 2018 remained at 1.50 per cent. The weighted average interest rate of Council’s investment portfolio at the same reporting date was 2.87 per cent which continues to exceed Council’s benchmark i.e. the cash rate of 1.50 per cent plus 0.75 per cent (or 75 basis points).

 

 

Council has also utilised the AusBond Bank Bill Index to provide a further benchmark focused towards long term investments. As at 31 October 2018, the AusBond rate was 2.09 per cent. The weighted average interest rate of Council’s investment portfolio at the same reporting date was 2.87 per cent.

 

Council’s Investment Policy establishes limits in relation to the maturity terms of Council’s investments as well as the credit ratings of the institutions with whom Council can invest.

The following tables provide a dissection of Council’s investment portfolio as required by the Policy. The Policy identifies the maximum amount that can be held in a variety of investment products or with institutions based on their respective credit ratings.

Table 1 shows the percentage held by Council (holdings) and the additional amount that Council could hold (capacity) for each term to maturity allocation in accordance with limits established by Council’s Policy.

Table 2 shows the total amount held, and the weighted average interest rate (or return on investment), by credit rating. The credit rating is an independent opinion of the capability and willingness of a financial institution to repay its debts, or in other words, the providers’ financial strength or creditworthiness. The rating is typically calculated as the likelihood of a failure occurring over a given period, with the higher rating (AAA) being superior due to having a lower chance of default. However, it is generally accepted that this lower risk will be accompanied by a lower return on investment.

Table 2 demonstrates that Council receives a lower return for its AA rated investments than for those with ratings of A or less. The level of money held in the bank accounts has been added to the table to illustrate the ability of Council to cover the operational liabilities that typically occur (for example payroll, materials and contracts, utilities).

5.5     Development Application DA 41/2007(2) - 84 Glenroi Avenue

RECORD NUMBER:       2018/2862

AUTHOR:                       Paul Johnston, Manager Development Assessments    

 

 

EXECUTIVE Summary

Application lodged

18 September2018

Applicant/s

Ophir Tavern Business Pty Ltd

Owner/s

Ophir Tavern Land Pty Ltd

Land description

Lot 3 DP 630463 - 84 Glenroi Avenue, Orange

Proposed land use

Hotel (additions and alterations to existing)

Value of proposed development

$50,000

Approval is sought to modify an existing 2007 consent for the Ophir Tavern. The renovations relate to a refit and expansion (within the existing building footprint) of the kitchen, new flooring and ceiling finishes, some new internal partitioning and various other detail changes.

The changes cannot be carried out as exempt development for two reasons. Firstly the current use as a hotel (commercially referred to as a “tavern”) is not permissible in the zone. The development on the site is an “existing use” within the meaning of the Act, and any changes to an existing use requires consent in order to carry out the said alterations. Secondly, the proposed works substantially alter the cooking and food servery arrangements within the building, which within itself cannot be carried out as exempt development.

Complicating the issue further is that the works have been substantially completed without consent. Council is prevented under the legislation from granting retrospective development consent to a complete new application. However, the Land and Environment Court has established precedent that permits retrospectivity for Section 4.55 modifications.

In this case, it is considered that the works constitute a modification of consent. Matters in relation to compliance with the Building Code of Australia and Food Act requirements have been taken into consideration. Consequently, approval of the development as modified is supported.

This report is provided direct to Council as the applicant has requested that the application be dealt with expeditiously as he has currently engaged contractors and risks extra costs or contractors going to other jobs and delays on the project.

The matter of illegal works will be dealt with separately in conjunction with the Enforcement Policy which is to be reported to Council in December.

RECENT LEGISLATIVE CHANGES

On 1 March 2018 the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 was substantially amended. The most immediate change involves the restructuring and renumbering of the Act, with other more substantive changes to be phased in over time. However, for some applications (particularly where an application was lodged prior to the changes coming into effect) the supporting documentation may still reference the previous numbering regime. In the drafting of this report the content and substance of the supporting material has been considered irrespective of which legislative references were used.

DECISION FRAMEWORK

Development in Orange is governed by two key documents Orange Local Environment Plan 2011 and Orange Development Control Plan 2004. In addition the Infill Guidelines are used to guide development, particularly in the heritage conservation areas and around heritage items.

Orange Local Environment Plan 2011 – The provisions of the LEP must be considered by the Council in determining the application. LEPs govern the types of development that are permissible or prohibited in different parts of the City and also provide some assessment criteria in specific circumstances. Uses are either permissible or not. The objectives of each zoning and indeed the aims of the LEP itself are also to be considered and can be used to guide decision making around appropriateness of development.


 

Orange Development Control Plan 2004 – the DCP provides guidelines for development. In general it is a performance based document rather than prescriptive in nature. For each planning element there are often guidelines used. These guidelines indicate ways of achieving the planning outcomes. It is thus recognised that there may also be other solutions of merit. All design solutions are considered on merit by planning and building staff. Applications should clearly demonstrate how the planning outcomes are being met where alternative design solutions are proposed. The DCP enables developers and architects to use design to achieve the planning outcomes in alternative ways.

DIRECTOR’S COMMENT

This development is straight forward, however raises the issue of potentially illegal works, which will be dealt with at a later juncture.

Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan

The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “10.1 Preserve - Engage with the community to ensure plans for growth and development are respectful of our heritage”.

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.

MATTERS FOR CONSIDERATION

Section 1.7 - Application of Part 7 of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 and Part 7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994

Development Applications lodged on or after 25 February 2018

Section 1.7 of the EP&A Act 1979 identifies that Part 7 of the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 and Part 7A of the Fisheries Management Act 1994 have effect in connection with terrestrial and aquatic environments.

Having regard to the relevant provisions and based on an inspection of the subject property, it is considered that the proposed development is not likely to significantly affect a threatened species. A Biodiversity Development Assessment Report is not required in this instance. In this instance, site inspection reveals that the subject property has no biodiversity or habitat value.


 

Section 4.55 - Modification of consent – generally

Section 4.55 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 states:

A consent authority may…modify the consent if:

(a)     it is satisfied that the proposed modification is of minimal environmental impact, and

(b)     it is satisfied that the development to which the consent as modified relates is substantially the same development as the development for which the consent was originally granted and before that consent as originally granted was modified (if at all), and

(c)     it has notified the application in accordance with:

(i)      the regulations, if the regulations so require, or

(ii)     a development control plan, if the consent authority is a council that has made a development control plan under section 72 that requires the notification or advertising of applications for modification of a development consent, and

(d)     it has considered any submissions made concerning the proposed modification within any period prescribed by the regulations or provided by the development control plan, as the case may be.

In consideration of this clause, the following comments are made:

·    The proposed modification of consent is considered to be of minimal environmental impact as the large majority of the proposed changes are amendments to the internal layout and fitout of the building. As a modification of minor environmental impact, no advertising or notification is required.

·    The development to which the consent as modified relates is substantially the same development as the development for which consent was originally granted, with some changes proposed to the internal layout. The consent granted in 2007 permitted internal renovations and alterations within and generally throughout the building, and relates generally to the same categories of changes to the building as is currently contained in the proposed modification and within generally the same area as the proposed modification. There is a later development consent (DA 374/2012) for very minor internal changes to the building (the installation of a bi-fold door system and new entry doors), but this later consent does not alter the use or the overall configuration of the building. It is appropriate and relevant to base the proposed modification of consent on the 2007 approval.

·    The proposed modification is of minor nature and is not considered to be advertised development. No submissions have been received in relation to the proposed modification.

Pursuant to section 4.55(3) of the EPAA 1979:

In determining an application for modification of a consent under this section, the consent authority must take into consideration such of the matters referred to in section 4.15(1) as are of relevance to the development the subject of the application.

The relevant matters are considered below.


 

Land & Environment Court Case Law – retrospectivity of consent

Windy Dropdown Pty Ltd v Warringah Council

This was a decision of Talbot J in the LEC. Justice Talbot held that the provisions of s.102 [see now s.4.55] of the EPA Act could be used to modify a development consent where the works the subject of the modification application had already been carried out.

Willoughby City Council v Dasco Design and Construction Pty Ltd

This was a decision from Justice Bignold J in the LEC. His Honour Bignold held that he agreed with Talbot J's conclusion in Windy Dropdown that the power of modification is available even in a case where the relevant works have already been carried out; and referred to the decision of Handley JA in Tynan v Meharg [No 2], stating that he (Bignold J) did not think that Handley JA's reference to Herbert could be taken as a clear and deliberate endorsement of the actual decision in Herbert holding that the statutory modification power was not available in a case where the works had already been carried out.

Austcorp No 459 Pty Ltd v Baulkham Hills SC [2002] NSWLEC 90 (7 June 2002)

The Court held that section 96 (now referred to as section 4.55) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (the EPA Act) can operate retrospectively for work that has already been carried out not in accordance with a consent. Austcorp No. 459 relied on the findings of Windy Dropdown Pty Ltd v Warringah Council [2000] NSWLEC 240 where Talbot J held that “the broad construction of s 96 [now section 4.55] leads to a practical result that enables a consent authority to deal with unexpected contingencies as they arise during the course of construction of development or even subsequently, provided of course that the development to which the consent as modified relates is substantially the same development (Talbot’s emphasis). His Honour stated [at 27] “the language of section 96 … itself does not mandate against retrospective development”. His Honour subsequently approved the development on its merits.

The combined weight of Windy Dropdown, Dasco Design and Construction and Austcorp 459 Pty Ltd is such that there can no longer be any doubt about the power of a consent authority in NSW to modify a development consent, even where the relevant works have already been carried out.

In summary, the above commentary indicates that works that have been undertaken for which no prior consent exists but these unapproved works, if considered a modification of consent, can be rendered lawful under this modification on the basis that the works are substantially the same as the original consent. Council staff are satisfied that the application to modify the consent (including the works that have already commenced) is substantially the same development as the development approved in 2007.

Whether Council wishes to pursue the applicant for the works illegally completed is a separate matter to the assessment of the application itself. Carrying out works without the necessary prior approvals might set an undesirable precedent, and Council may wish to take separate punitive action to deter this behaviour. However, the issue of precedence and good governance has no relevance or correlation to the assessment of the modification itself.


 

The relevant precedents set out in in the abovementioned case law apply only to Section 4.55 modifications of consent. They do not apply to construction certificates or full development applications. The general prohibition placed on retrospective consents continues to apply to these various approvals; for already completed works. Council cannot issue a determination for a completely separate development application, neither can it issue a retrospective construction certificate. The Council must still be provided with sufficient information as to be able to address clauses 92, 93 and 94 of the EP&A Regulations, which are mandatory provisions relating to the building suitability for purpose (in general). It is for this reason that full BCA compliance reports and Food Act compliance details that would normally be submitted as part of a waste management plan were required to be submitted with the application.

Section 4.15

Section 4.15 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 requires Council to consider various matters, of which those pertaining to the application are listed below.

PROVISIONS OF ANY ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING INSTRUMENT s4.15(1)(a)(i)

The parent application (DA 41/2007(1)) was assessed and determined under the provisions of a previously applicable EPI (being LEP 2000). Fundamentally, under LEP 2000, the parent application was permissible, whereas under the provisions of LEP 2011, the parent application would be prohibited. As a modification of consent, the parent application is considered to be an existing use pursuant to Division 4.11 of the Act.

Section 4.65 sets out the definition of an existing use:

(a)     the use of a building, work or land for a lawful purpose immediately before the coming into force of an environmental planning instrument which would, but for this Division, have the effect of prohibiting that use, and

(b)     the use of a building, work or land:

(i)      for which development consent was granted before the commencement of a provision of an environmental planning instrument having the effect of prohibiting the use, and

(ii)     that has been carried out, within one year after the date on which that provision commenced, in accordance with the terms of the consent and to such an extent as to ensure (apart from that provision) that the development consent would not lapse.

Section 4.66 sets out the provisions with respect to the continuation of an existing use:

(1)     Except where expressly provided in this Act, nothing in this Act or an environmental planning instrument prevents the continuance of an existing use.

(2)     Nothing in subsection (1) authorises:

(a)     any alteration or extension to or rebuilding of a building or work, or

(b)     any increase in the area of the use made of a building, work or land from the area actually physically and lawfully used immediately before the coming into operation of the instrument therein mentioned, or


 

(c)     without affecting paragraph (a) or (b), any enlargement or expansion or intensification of an existing use, or

(d)     the continuance of the use therein mentioned in breach of any consent in force under this Act in relation to that use or any condition imposed or applicable to that consent or in breach of any condition referred to in section 4.17 (1) (b), or

(e)     the continuance of the use therein mentioned where that use is abandoned.

(3)     Without limiting the generality of subsection (2) (e), a use is to be presumed, unless the contrary is established, to be abandoned if it ceases to be actually so used for a continuous period of 12 months.

The EPA Regulations contain provisions with respect to changes that can be made to an existing use. Clause 41 of the Regulations sets out the provisions whereby alterations, expansions and renovations to buildings containing an existing use may be undertaken. The proposed modification falls within the ambit of those restrictions.

Clause 44 of the regulations sets out more specific provisions relating to applications to rebuild buildings and works that contain an existing use.

(1)     Development consent is required for any rebuilding of a building or work used for an existing use.

(2)     The rebuilding:

(a)     must be for the existing use of the building or work and for no other use, and

(b)     must be carried out only on the land on which the building or work was erected or carried out immediately before the relevant date.

The application suitably demonstrates that the proposed modification of consent is consistent with the provisions of clause 44.

Orange Local Environmental Plan 2011

Insofar as it can be lawfully applied, the following assessment against the provisions of the LEP is provided:

Part 1 - Preliminary

Clause 1.2 - Aims of Plan

The broad aims of the LEP are set out under subclause 2. Those relevant to the application are as follows:

(a)     to encourage development which complements and enhances the unique character of Orange as a major regional centre boasting a diverse economy and offering an attractive regional lifestyle,

(b)     to provide for a range of development opportunities that contribute to the social, economic and environmental resources of Orange in a way that allows present and future generations to meet their needs by implementing the principles for ecologically sustainable development,

(c)     to conserve and enhance the water resources on which Orange depends, particularly water supply catchments,


 

(d)     to manage rural land as an environmental resource that provides economic and social benefits for Orange,

(e)     to provide a range of housing choices in planned urban and rural locations to meet population growth,

(f)      to recognise and manage valued environmental heritage, landscape and scenic features of Orange.

With regard to (a), the proposed modification of consent, once carried through, would not have any measurable impact on the existing character of the locality.

With regard to (b), the proposed modification has no measurable impact.

The changes contained in the modification will not significantly affect water supply and will have no impact on water supply catchments, as set out in subclause (c).

Subclause (d) is not relevant to this application.

With regard to (e), there is no impact with respect to the provision of housing within the City.

With regard to (f), it is noted that the subject land is not a listed heritage item itself, and no substantial changes to the external façade are proposed under the application to modify the consent.

Clause 1.6 - Consent Authority

This clause establishes that, subject to the Act, Council is the consent authority for applications made under the LEP.

Clause 1.7 - Mapping

The subject site is identified on the LEP maps in the following manner:

Land Zoning Map:

Land zoned B6 Enterprise Corridor

Lot Size Map:

No Minimum Lot Size

Heritage Map:

Not a heritage item or conservation area

Height of Buildings Map:

No building height limit

Floor Space Ratio Map:

No floor space limit

Terrestrial Biodiversity Map:

Low biodiversity sensitivity on the site

Groundwater Vulnerability Map:

Groundwater vulnerable

Drinking Water Catchment Map:

Not within the drinking water catchment

Watercourse Map:

Not within or affecting a defined watercourse

Urban Release Area Map:

Not within an urban release area

Obstacle Limitation Surface Map:

No restriction on building siting or construction

Additional Permitted Uses Map:

No additional permitted use applies

Flood Planning Map:

Not within a flood planning area (however see notes in report)

Those matters that are of relevance are addressed in detail in the body of this report.


 

Clause 1.9A - Suspension of Covenants, Agreements and Instruments

This clause provides that covenants, agreements and other instruments which seek to restrict the carrying out of development do not apply with the following exceptions.

·    covenants imposed or required by Council

·    prescribed instruments under Section 183A of the Crown Lands Act 1989

·    any conservation agreement under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974

·    any trust agreement under the Nature Conservation Trust Act 2001

·    any property vegetation plan under the Native Vegetation Act 2003

·    any biobanking agreement under Part 7A of the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995

·    any planning agreement under Division 6 of Part 4 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

Council is aware that the subject site is affected by drainage easement that traverses the site. Council staff are not aware of the title of the subject property being affected by any other of the above.

Part 2 - Permitted or Prohibited Development

Clause 2.1 - Land Use Zones and Clause 2.3 - Zone Objectives and Land Use Table

The parent use to which the proposed modification relates was a “hotel” as defined under the previous LEP 2000. The land use was defined under that EPI as:

a building or place which is licensed for the principal purpose of selling alcohol for consumption on the premises, whether or not accommodation, restaurants or off-licence sales are also provided”.

“Hotel” is not a defined land use term under Orange LEP 2011, however the provisions of Section 4.11 of the Act and clause 44 of the EPA Regulations provide the circumstances where an existing use such as is currently being assessed may be altered or rebuilt. The proposed modification of consent does not result in the land use substantially changing. It is (and will be) substantially a “hotel” as provided for under LEP 2000, and complies with the overriding clauses of the Act and Regulations; and therefore should be viewed as permissible by reason of the existing use provisions.

Clause 2.3 of LEP 2011 references the Land Use Table and Objectives for each zone in LEP 2011. These objectives for land zoned B6 enterprise Corridor are as follows:

1 - Objectives of the B6 Enterprise Corridor Zone

·   To promote businesses along main roads and to encourage a mix of compatible uses.

·   To provide a range of employment uses (including business, office, retail and light industrial uses).

·   To maintain the economic strength of centres by limiting retailing activity.

·   To provide for residential uses, but only as part of a mixed use development


 

It is considered that, notwithstanding the land use being an existing use, that general conformity to the zone objectives of OLEP 2011 is achieved under the proposed modification of consent.

Clause 2.7 - Demolition Requires Development Consent

This clause triggers the need for development consent in relation to demolition of a building. This requirement does not apply to any demolition that is defined as exempt development.  The demolition works contained in the proposal are beyond the scope permitted without consent under State Environmental Planning Policy – Exempt and complying Development.

The applicant is seeking the consent of Council. The demolition works proposed will have no significant impact on adjoining lands, streetscape or public realm.

Part 3 - Exempt and Complying Development

The application is not exempt or complying development.

Part 7 - Additional Local Provisions

7.2 - Flood Planning

This clause applies to land identified on the Flood Planning Map as a Flood Planning Area and requires that, before any consent is issued, Council must be satisfied that the proposal:

(a)     is compatible with the flood hazard of the land, and

(b)     is not likely to significantly adversely affect flood behaviour resulting in detrimental increases in the potential flood affectation of other development or properties, and

(c)     incorporates appropriate measures to manage risk to life from flood, and

(d)     is not likely to significantly adversely affect the environment or cause avoidable erosion, siltation, destruction of riparian vegetation or a reduction in the stability of river banks or watercourses, and

(e)     is not likely to result in unsustainable social and economic costs to the community as a consequence of flooding.

The subject property is not located within a flood planning area of the LEP, however under a separate non-statutory flood study completed by Council, the subject property is affected by an overland flowpath as indicated in the following mapping layer:


 

 

Figure 2 - overland flowpath affectation

The proposed modification would have no additional adverse effect on the operation of this flood way.

7.6 - Groundwater Vulnerability

This clause seeks to protect hydrological functions of groundwater systems and protect resources from both depletion and contamination. Orange has a high water table and large areas of the LGA, including the subject site, are identified with “Groundwater Vulnerability” on the Groundwater Vulnerability Map. This requires that Council consider:

(a)     whether or not the development (including any onsite storage or disposal of solid or liquid waste and chemicals) is likely to cause any groundwater contamination or have any adverse effect on groundwater dependent ecosystems, and

(b)     the cumulative impact (including the impact on nearby groundwater extraction for potable water supply or stock water supply) of the development and any other existing development on groundwater.


 

Furthermore consent may not be granted unless Council is satisfied that:

(a)     the development is designed, sited and will be managed to avoid any significant adverse environmental impact, or

(b)     if that impact cannot be reasonably avoided - the development is designed, sited and will be managed to minimise that impact,

(c)     if that impact cannot be minimised - the development will be managed to mitigate that impact.

The proposal is not anticipated to involve the discharge of toxic or noxious substances and is therefore unlikely to contaminate the groundwater or related ecosystems. The proposal does not involve extraction of groundwater and will therefore not contribute to groundwater depletion. The design and siting of the proposal avoids impacts on groundwater and is therefore considered acceptable.

STATE ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING POLICIES

State Environmental Planning Policy 55 Remediation of Land

State Environmental Planning Policy 55 - Remediation of Land (SEPP 55) is applicable. Pursuant to Clause 7 Contamination and remediation to be considered in determining development application:

(1)     A consent authority must not consent to the carrying out of any development on land unless:

(a)     it has considered whether the land is contaminated, and

(b)     if the land is contaminated, it is satisfied that the land is suitable in its contaminated state (or will be suitable, after remediation) for the purpose for which the development is proposed to be carried out, and

(c)     if the land requires remediation to be made suitable for the purpose for which the development is proposed to be carried out, it is satisfied that the land will be remediated before the land is used for that purpose.

The subject property has a long history of uses that are considered unlikely to have caused contamination problems. Further, the proposed modification does not propose any significant levels of site disturbance. The building was last renovated in 2007, making it unlikely that asbestos remains in the building.

As such, the risks from contamination are considered to be very low.

PROVISIONS OF ANY DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING INSTRUMENT THAT HAS BEEN PLACED ON EXHIBITION 4.15(1)(a)(ii)

There are no draft environmental planning instruments that apply to the subject land or proposed development.

DESIGNATED DEVELOPMENT

The proposed development is not designated development.


 

INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT

The proposed development is not integrated development.

PROVISIONS OF ANY DEVELOPMENT CONTROL PLAN s4.15(1)(a)(iii)

Development Control Plan 2004

Development Control Plan 2004 (“the DCP”) is nominally applicable to the site. However, there are no aspects of the development as modified that generate issues different, or more intense to the assessment carried out against the original parent application in 2007. As no significant change arises from the development as modified, no additional assessment under the DCP is considered necessary. Chapter 15 of the DCP relates to off street parking arrangements. The applicants have suitably demonstrated that there is adequate parking available of the subject site.

Chapter 0 of the DCP contains transitional arrangements including zone conversion equivalents between LEP 2000 and OLEP 2011. The equivalent of the 3(b) Business Services zone that applied to the site at the time of the original assessment (under LEP 2000) includes the B6 Enterprise Corridor zone under OLEP 2011. The proposed development is not inconsistent with any provisions contained within the DCP.

PROVISIONS PRESCRIBED BY THE REGULATIONS s4.15(1)(a)(iv)

Demolition of a Building (clause 92)

The proposal involves the demolition of parts of the interior of the building.

Clause 92 specifies that where a development application involves demolition, such demolition is to be carried out in accordance with Australian Standard AS2601 - 1991: The Demolition of Structures. In this case, the applicant has submitted information establishing that the demolition work that has been carried out has been undertaken in accordance with AS2601.

Fire Safety Considerations (clause 93)

The applicant has included a supporting report indicating that the building as now modified complies with the fire safety standards contained in the BCA. A recommended condition of consent has been recommended to require compliance with the BCA Report submitted as part of this application.

Buildings to be Upgraded (clause 94)

Upgrading of the building has already been undertaken. A report has been submitted by the applicant, prepared by a suitably qualified person, that certifies that the building is compliant with the relevant BCA standards, taking into account the unauthorised work already completed for the building.

BASIX Commitments (clause 97A)

BASIX is not applicable to the proposed development.


 

THE LIKELY IMPACTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT s4.15(1)(b)

The development as modified if approved would not generate any significant adverse impacts.

The way in which the alterations have occurred has the potential to generate an undesirable precedent. Works carried out without consent having been obtained cannot be retrospectively approved, except when some very specific processes or circumstances arise. A consent issued that does not conform to those very specific circumstances could risk being an invalid consent. In this case, whilst the work is clearly unlawful to the extent that it was carried out without the necessary consent, it is considered that a retrospective modification of consent can be granted in this case.

Council cannot grant consent to a construction certificate application for the works already carried out.

THE SUITABILITY OF THE SITE s4.15(1)(c)

The site is considered suitable for the purpose to which the building relates.

ANY SUBMISSIONS MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACT s4.15(1)(d)

The proposed development is not defined as advertised development under the provisions of the LEP, and as such no formal exhibition of the application was required. No submissions have been received in relation to this application.

PUBLIC INTEREST s4.15(1)(e)

The proposed development is considered to be of minor interest to the wider public due to the relatively localised nature of potential impacts. The proposal is enabled by the overarching permissibility contained in the existing use provisions of the Act and Regulations. The outcomes arising from the development are not inconsistent with any relevant policy statements, planning studies, guidelines etc. that have been considered in this assessment.

SUMMARY

The development as modified is permissible with the consent of Council by reason of the existing use provisions of the Act and Regulations. These provisions have the effect of overruling the LEP, where the LEP would otherwise prohibit the development. Further the modification can be approved retrospectively, based on the principals set down in Windy Dropdown Pty Ltd v Warringah Council, Willoughby City Council v Dasco Design and Construction Pty Ltd and Austcorp No 459 Pty Ltd v Baulkham Hills SC [2002] NSWLEC 90 (7 June 2002)

The applicant has adequately demonstrated that the proposed development complies with the relevant aims, objectives, and provisions of LEP 2000 and OLEP 2011. There are no issues arising with respect to Council’s DCP 2004. The modification is consistent with the provisions of Section 4.55(1A) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. A Section 4.15 assessment indicates that the proposed development as modified is satisfactory.

5.7     2019/20 Budget Timetable

RECORD NUMBER:       2018/2863

AUTHOR:                       Mark Burdack, Director Corporate and Commercial Services    

 

 

EXECUTIVE Summary

The Council requested that the Annual Budget development process commence by December 2018 to allow Councillors greater opportunities to receive briefings from the Council Administration, discuss priorities and consider relevant factors in determining the Budget parameters for the year.

Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan

The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “17.2 Collaborate - Ensure financial stability and support efficient ongoing operation”.

Financial Implications

Nil

Policy and Governance Implications

The recommendation aims to support Councillors to submit budget proposals early in the process and provide Council Administration the time to prepare submissions and provide advice to Councillors about the financial, statutory and other implications in accordance with the obligations of Councillors under section 8B of the Act. The recommendation will support Councillors to meet their obligation not to disclose confidential information during discussions. 

 

 

Recommendation

The Council resolves:

1    To approve the 2019/20 Budget timetable set out in the Agenda; and

2    Despite resolution 17/575, delegate to the General Manager authority to convene a limited number of closed Councillor Workshops as may be necessary to facilitate the Annual Budget setting process.

 

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

Section 8B of the Local Government Act 1993 states:

The following principles of sound financial management apply to councils:

(a)     Council spending should be responsible and sustainable, aligning general revenue and expenses.

(b)     Councils should invest in responsible and sustainable infrastructure for the benefit of the local community.

(c)     Councils should have effective financial and asset management, including sound policies and processes for the following:

(i)      performance management and reporting,

(ii)     asset maintenance and enhancement,

(iii)    funding decisions,

(iv)    risk management practices.

(d)     Councils should have regard to achieving intergenerational equity, including ensuring the following:

(i)      policy decisions are made after considering their financial effects on future generations,

(ii)     the current generation funds the cost of its services.

The Council Budget timetable sets out a draft timeline for Councillor Workshops and community consultations.  The timetable has been prepared to assist Councillors to meet their statutory obligations in setting the annual budget. 

As part of the timetable, it is proposed that the Council allow for a limited number of closed workshops to allow Councillors to receive a complete briefing on projected income and expenditure. While not all material in the briefings will be confidential, some matters regarding projected future commercial investments, potential expenditures etc are expected to include confidential material. In order for the Councillors to have the opportunity to receive a full briefing and hold open discussions incorporating confidential material when discussing priorities, it is recommended that the Council approve the conduct of a limited number of Closed Councillor Workshops as part of the annual Budget development process.

This will require a qualification to the resolution of the Council approved on 19 December 2017 which states:

RESOLVED - 17/575                                                                                                                   

1    That Councillor Briefings be renamed “Councillor Workshops”.

2    That Councillor Workshops be open to the press and public with exception of items to be discussed that fall within the reasons for confidentiality as set out in Section 10A(2) of the Local Government Act 1993.


 

As set out below, the first draft and final draft budget will be open for community input, and a public exhibition period is incorporated to allow community input.

For the 2018/19 Budget the proposed timetable is as follows:

 

13/11/2018

Budget: Preliminary Councillor Workshop (Priorities for 2019/20 Budget and Strategic Alignment)

11/12/2018

Budget: Closed Councillor Workshop (Review of Initial Priorities for Budget and Briefing on Budget projections)

07/02/2019

Budget: Closed Councillor Workshop (Finalisation of Initial Priorities and ½ year results)

9/04/2019

Budget: Presentation of First Draft of Budget to Council

5.8     2018/19 Fees & Charges Amendments & Additions

TRIM REFERENCE:        2018/2650

AUTHOR:                       Brock Gannon, Financial Accounting Officer    

 

 

EXECUTIVE Summary

The activities and operations of Council are constantly changing and evolving and as such alterations are required to Councils fees and charges register. The following additions have been collated in conjunction with the September budget review and are to be exhibited. Council has also resumed control of the old Canobolas Scout Camp and the proposed fees are set out below.

The Camp is owned by Orange City Council and was leased to Scouts Australia since 1964. Due to declining numbers of volunteers and resources, the Scouts found it increasingly difficult to meet the costs of maintaining the site and implementing a works program to keep the buildings up to current standards and expectations.  The Scouts decided to exit the lease in 2018 and the facility was returned to the Council. 

The Council agreed to a request from the Scouts for use of the Camp for up to 5 days at a time for a maximum of 6 times a year without charge (max 30 days in total). The Camp also has a number of other users and has been the subject of a number of grant applications to upgrade the facilities. It has taken a significant period of time to analyse the potential use of the site and the likely costs, prior to recommending a set of fees for the site. The proposed fees are attached to this report.

Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan

The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “17.1 Collaborate - Provide representative, responsible and accountable community governance”& “17.1 Collaborate - Provide representative, responsible and accountable community governance”.

Financial Implications

The proposed fee adjustments have been considered on a cost recovery basis and levels of use.

Policy and Governance Implications

New fees and charges must be advertised for 28 days in accordance with the Local Government Act.

 

Recommendation

Council resolves to place the following fees on exhibition for the information of the community for a period of 28 days.

 

 

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 following new and amended fees and charges are proposed to be placed on public exhibition for a period of 28 days.

Historic booking records for the site are not as robust as Council would normally use to set future fees and charges. This has delayed the setting of the fees until staff felt confident all relevant information on potential income and costs had been considered. It is believed that all relevant information has now been obtained and considered and appropriate fees set.  These will be reviewed against actual use and costs in 2019/20.

Traditionally the management of the Camp have offered the site to scouting groups outside this region at half the rate charged for non-scouting users. Given the site is designed for sport and recreation activities and that visiting scout groups contribute to keeping the area tidy and carrying out some limited maintenance (such as collecting timbers and fixing parts of the obstacle course) it is proposed to keep the same charge rate structure.

The proposed Scout Hall fees and charges are:

Where the occupants of the camp maintain the facility in a clean manner, this charge would be approximately $50 per week across the entire group. Where the occupants do not maintain the facilities to a high standard on a daily basis their costs will be much higher.

Bookings for the site are managed through Orange City Council Events Officer.

5.10   Invitation to Join Regional Cities NSW

RECORD NUMBER:       2018/2281

AUTHOR:                       Garry Styles, General Manager    

 

 

EXECUTIVE Summary

Following an invitation by the NSW Inland Forum (IF) to consider joining a new group called Regional Cities NSW (RCNSW), the Mayor attended a meeting in Sydney on Thursday 1 March 2018 to discuss the proposed new group with members of the IF and other invited regional Councils.

This meeting was followed up by a planning day held in Sydney on Thursday 2 August 2018, attended by the Mayor and Director Community Recreation and Cultural Services and other invited regional Councils, where further thinking around the establishment of RCNSW was workshopped and discussed.

As per a Council resolution from the 21 February 2018 Council meeting, this report details further information on the proposed RCNSW alliance and requests Council give consideration to joining RCNSW. It should be noted that an earlier report to Council on this was not possible until the information provided in the body of this report was available.

Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan

The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “16.1 Collaborate - Work in partnership with other Councils, regional organisations and State and Federal Governments”.

Financial Implications

A standard membership fee of $10,000 per annum will apply and voting rights shall be one vote per member Council in attendance.

Policy and Governance Implications

Nil

 

Recommendation

That Council resolves:

1        Note the information contained within this Invitation to Join Regional Cities NSW Council Report.

2        Join Regional Cities NSW (RCNSW) with a formal review of Council’s membership to take place within the first 24 months of the formal commencement of RCNSW, to ensure it is meeting its stated objectives.

3        Note that whilst sixteen Councils have been invited to join RCNSW, a minimum of nine Councils will be needed to establish RCNSW.

4        Allocate $5,000 for membership of RCNSW from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2019

5        Note that any future requests for financial contributions over and above the annual membership fee to RCNSW will be reported to Council for further consideration.

 

 

further considerations

The recommendation of this report has been assessed against Council’s key risk categories.

SUPPORTING INFORMATION

In early December 2017, Council received an invitation from the IF to join a new group called RCNSW.

The IF is an existing group of seven Councils that have worked collaboratively for a number of years to achieve improved outcomes and opportunities for inland NSW. The current IF member Councils are Albury, Armidale, Bathurst, Dubbo, Orange, Tamworth and Wagga Wagga Councils. The membership of the IF have agreed that there is huge potential in expanding the membership of the group to create a new body to be known as RCNSW, hence the invitation received by this Council.

According to the invitation, RCNSW is to be modelled on the successful model that has been implemented in Victoria, where the ten largest cities outside of Melbourne work cooperatively on issues and projects of mutual interest that affect regional cities in that State. Attached to this report is the proposal / invitation received from the IF, dated 19 December 2017, titled ‘Correspondence from the Inland Forum – Invitation to Join Regional Cities NSW.’

Further details about the governance arrangements initially proposed for RCNSW can be found in the attached document titled ‘Correspondence from the Inland Forum – Invitation to Join Regional Cities NSW.’

The Councils invited to participate in RCNSW are as follows:

Albury                  Coffs Harbour               Maitland              Tamworth

Armidale              Dubbo                            Orange                Bathurst

Griffith                 Tweed                           Cessnock              Lismore

Queanbeyan        Wagga Wagga              Mid-Coast            Port Macquarie-Hastings

At the planning day held on 2 August 2018, participants agreed on the following indicators of overall success for RCNSW:

-     State government and community have recognised of the significance and benefits of regional cities;

-     A seat at the policy table to advise state government on the formation and implementation of policies;

-     The establishment of a population or settlement strategy that would prioritise population growth to regional cities;

-     The alliance is known as having a clear point of difference from the other alliances in the regional development space, and

-     A strong network that offers collaboration, networking and collective benefit to all members.

Further information relating to what success might look like for RCNSW, can be found on pages 7 & 8 of the attached document titled ‘Regional Cities NSW Workshop Report – 2 August 2018.

It was agreed at the planning day that the overall success of RCNSW would be the creation of connected, thriving and sustainable regional cities. To this end, discussion took place on the establishment of a short-term agenda for RCNSW, to ensure that this new alliance was more than simply a talk-fest on regional issues, but had real actions and goals to work towards. The most supported ideas around this to come from the planning day were:

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with State Government:

Establishing, through a formal agreement, a mechanism for the alliance to have a seat at the table and provide strategic influence on the State’s policy and investment agenda.

Snowy Hydro Funding:

Providing a set of recommendations on how the government should invest the $4.2 billion released in the NSW budget from the sale of Snowy Hydro project. The government has indicated that all of these funds will go to the regions and they will need guidance on how this money should be allocated. The group also anticipated that there would be streamlined funding mechanisms to enable regional cities to access this funding.

Population Strategy:

Due to ongoing debate of metropolitan congestion and rapid population growth, the group saw a great opportunity to have influence in developing a framework for growing regional cities under the banner of a state population strategy, with the aim being to develop a settlement plan directing people, infrastructure and business to regional cities.

Regional Investment:

Identifying a framework to identify how regional investment can be streamlined to be better facilitated in the regions.


 

One of the other key purposes of the 2 August 2018 planning day was to discuss the proposed governance and structure arrangements for RCNSW. Further details on this can be found on pages 10 to 14 of the attachment document titled ‘Regional Cities NSW Workshop Report – 2 August 2018’ however in summary, the following was agreed:

Formation:                  The alliance to be known as Regional Cities New South Wales (RCNSW) be formed.

Membership:              Councils representing regional cities that had a clear service centre role would be invited to be members.

Board Members:         The forum should be a Mayor and CEO/General Manager forum with alternates offered in the case of inability to attend.

Board Structure:         All member councils (Mayor and CEO/General Manager) will sit on the board. Voting will be by consensus.

Meeting Schedule:      Members agreed to meeting quarterly at a venue to be defined at a later date, noting that visits to each member city would be welcomed.

Working Group:          It was agreed that a working group to further define and evolve the structure and agenda of the alliance be established, as well as to work through the development of the proposed MOU. Working Group members were nominated as:

 

·   Mr Paul Bennett, General Manager, Tamworth Regional Council.

·   Mr Craig Swift-McNair, General Manager, Port Macquarie-Hastings.

·   Mr David Sherley, General Manager, Bathurst Regional Council.

·   Mr Peter Thompson, General Manager, Wagga Wagga City Council.

·   Ms Susan Law, CEO, Armidale Regional Council.

The above-mentioned working group met via teleconference on 3 September 2018 to confirm the meeting notes from the planning day in August; to progress discussions around the structure of RCNSW and to propose a standard approach by member Councils in reporting back to their respective Councils on the outcomes of the RCNSW meetings.

There are a range of issues that Council will need to take into account when considering whether or not to join RCNSW. Perhaps one of the most relevant issues is why Council would join an alliance such as RCNSW, when we have only recently joined a Joint Organisation (JO)? Whilst this is a valid question to ask, it is important to distinguish the difference between RCNSW and a JO. A JO is geographically based and its interests are those of the geographic region.

RCNSW membership is not geographically based, but will rather focus on commonality of interests between the sixteen regional cities, regardless of their location. This form of an alliance will be able to pursue issues such as population growth, congestion, access, investment etc. and perhaps more effectively than a JO may be able to, simply considering the membership ad make up of a JO.


 

From a funding perspective, there have been initial discussions around the level of financial contribution required from each member Council in order to ensure the viability of RCNSW. It was agreed at the planning day that an investment of $10,000 per annum by each member Council was considered to be a reasonable amount of funding to enable RCNSW to be established; to engage an appropriate secretariat and to establish a strategic plan. There may well be other initiatives that this pooled funding will be able to support in line with the objectives of RCNSW.

It should be noted that as per recommendation 4) as included in this report, the current funding request for this financial year is $5,000, effectively being for membership of RCNSW from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2019, noting that the IF has kindly offered to fund the secretariat and support staff during the coming months to ensure that RCNSW can be established in a timely and effective manner.

5.11   Evocities MOU

RECORD NUMBER:       2018/2733

AUTHOR:                       Nick Redmond, Manager Corporate and Community Relations    

 

 

EXECUTIVE Summary

The purpose of this report is to present the extension of the Evocities program for the period 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2023, for Council’s consideration.

Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan

The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “12.1 Prosper - Attract and grow strategic investment”.

Financial Implications

Nil

Policy and Governance Implications

The period of the MOU is four years. If Council resolves to enter the agreement there is capacity to step away from the MOU in subsequent years. This is important in the context of monitoring the performance of the project and acknowledging that the four year agreement crosses into a new term of council.

 

 

Recommendation

That Council resolves:

 

1.   To confirms Orange City Council’s commitment to the continuation of the Evocities program for the period 2019/20 to 2022/23.

 

2.   To authorises the Mayor and General Manager to execute the Memorandum of Understanding between the Evocities for the period.

 

 

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

The in-kind elements of the campaign can be maintained within current staff resources.

 

Image and Reputation

The Evocities campaign creates positive content around regional city living.

 

Political

While the campaign has not always received funding support from the other tiers of government it does align with NSW objectives in initiatives such as the Central West and Orana Regional Plan 2036 and the Orange, Blayney and Cabonne Regional Economic Development Strategy 2018–2022 and is seen as a model for cross regional teamwork.

 

Stakeholders

While difficult to measure there are benefits in taking a collaborative approach to regional development.

 

SUPPORTING INFORMATION

Background

Orange City Council was a foundation partner to the Evocities program when it commenced in July 2005. On 1 March 2009, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the partner Councils of Albury, Armidale, Bathurst, Dubbo, Orange, Tamworth and Wagga Wagga, was entered into to formalise the collaboration. Since this time, the MOU has been renewed in 2011, 2013, and 2015 with the current MOU due to expire on 30 June 2019. It is noted that Council had one year where it was not a member. 

Evocities’ three core functions are promotion, advocacy and assistance. The seven cities of Albury, Armidale, Bathurst, Dubbo, Orange, Tamworth and Wagga Wagga work together to promote regional city living; to advocate for innovative regional policy development; and to assist people as they make the decision to move from an overpopulated capital city where things like congestion and cost of living can make everyday a trial, to an Evocity, where the lifestyle is idyllic and there are exceptional employment opportunities.

One of the primary objectives of the campaign is to change capital city residents’ perception of regional city living by dispelling misconceptions about regional cities, and promote the Evocities as vibrant and thriving cities offering fantastic employment, investment, community, and lifestyle opportunities.

In order to achieve this objective, the campaign utilises a strategic mix of marketing and public relations (PR) activities that drive people to our Evocities websites where they can learn more about what our regions have to offer, and how they can escape capital city congestion and making a 'city change' their reality.

The MOU being presented for Council’s consideration has been prepared and supported by the Evocities Steering Committee and the NSW Inland Forum. The proposed term of the MOU is 1 July 2019 – 30 June 2023, to align with the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework that guides Local Government operations.

Issues

Evocity Councils have collectively invested $4.27 million in the Evocities brand to date. The program has also received funding from State ($530,000) and Federal Governments ($1.7 million) as well as corporate sponsors ($395,000).

The market penetration achieved since its launch in September 2010, and level of brand awareness that exists in the Sydney marketplace, and the other east coast capital cities is significant and arguably should not be abandoned.

While it is recognised that continued State and Federal Government support for Evocities would aid in achieving awareness and identified outcomes, the operating model proposed by the member Councils is such that maintenance of the Evocities brand presence and core campaign elements over the term of the MOU will be possible, regardless of whether additional government funding is secured.  

Given the Evocities are direct beneficiaries of the program outcomes, it is considered appropriate and reasonable that they provide core program funding. However, the program does directly support State government objectives and has proven its value in driving growth and development in regional NSW while also assisting in solving congestion issues in the capital cities, particularly metropolitan Sydney.

As such, a funding proposal has been submitted to the Department of Premier and Cabinet, asking the NSW Government to contribute $2 million over the next four years ($500,000 each financial year of the term of the MOU). This additional funding would allow Evocities to build on the momentum produced by recent campaigns, achieve substantial market penetration and deliver significant outcomes for all the cities involved, for the surrounding regions and for Sydney.

Some key outcomes from the campaign since its launch in September 2010, as at end September 2018, include:

·    638,988 visits to Evocities.com.au

·    Over 2.4 million visits to Evojobs.com.au

·    Over 47,500 jobs promoted

·    8078 responses made to potential relocators enquires

·    2922 media placements across both traditional and online media reaching a potential audience of more than 180.5 million people

Since launching in September 2010, the Evocities have collectively welcomed 3619 new households (as at end September 2018) who contribute to the economies of the participating regional cities, and provide other benefits including lifting median incomes, encouraging business growth, increasing tourism and growing participation in community groups.

These 3619 households are only the relocators who have had direct contact with our Evocities staff and confirmed they have made the move. While it is difficult for each of the Evocities to track relocators to their city, the processes put in place by each Evocity Council to monitor and interact with the new residents, indicates the success of the campaign. It isn’t possible to count how many other households were inspired by an Evocities ad, found a job on Evojobs or researched their city change on Evocities.com.au (or all of the above) before making the move.

Council also undertakes a survey of relocators which asks a question about Evocities. While the data set is relatively small, approximately 1 in 4 were aware of the Evocities campaign. Brand awareness in cases such as this are challenging to measure when there is no revenue to quantify. Elements that measurable are sessions on the Evocities websites which are the digital gateway and often the first step for potential relocators. (see below from the attached Evocities report) 

 

The Evocities MOU 2019/20 to 2022/23 provides guidance for the future of the campaign, detailing the program objectives including plans to:

·    build on the historical investment and success of the Evocities program

·    attract people, businesses, and skilled labour to the regions

·    grow and develop the Evocities’ collaboration

·    advocate for the Evocities to influence relevant regional, State and Federal Government plans, strategies and policies.

In order to enable effective implementation of all the Evocities objectives, it is important that each Council confirm its continued commitment to the program, including financial contributions and in-kind support of staff.

From 2015/16 when each council contributed $60,000, the financial contributions have increased $5,000 per annum, reaching $75,000 in 2018/19. In light of increasing costs faced in relation goods and services, and to ensure Evocities continues its momentum and growth, it has been deemed appropriate to continue increasing to Council financial contributions to ensure the same high level of service delivery and market penetration can be maintained.

An ongoing focus will be placed on resource efficiency, including minimising administration expenses and maximising marketing and PR design, production and placements, as well as research, website updates and project implementation. Furthermore, third party contracts will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure adequate return on investment.

The annual increase proposed ($2,000 per annum) aims to cover the cost of inflation, as well as ensure a self-sustaining model for the Evocities campaign, maintaining an aggressive advertising schedule.

          Year 1 – 2019/20 $80,000 (GST exclusive)        

          Year 2 – 2020/21 $82,000 (GST exclusive)

          Year 3 – 2021/22 $84,000 (GST exclusive)

          Year 4 – 2022/23 $86,000 (GST exclusive)

Risk

Business Risk

Membership of Evocities will require provision of funding in stepped increases ($80,000 for 2019/20 increasing $2,000 per annum thereafter) for the next four years. It will also require continued investment of existing human resources on an in-kind basis to ensure that Orange City Council maximises its presence in, and benefits from, the campaign.

In the event Council did not continue its participation in the Evocities campaign it is unlikely that any subsequent marketing efforts to attract relocators would achieve the same return on investment. By leveraging off the collaboration and combined resources of the Evocities collective, market penetration will invariably be more successful.

Corporate Risk

There is no Corporate Risk associated with continued participation in this program. In the event that Orange City Council was to withdraw, there could be a negative impact on the brand and its position in the Sydney market, and with government stakeholders.

The formation of the Evocities group has provided a collective voice to government and significantly raised the credibility of NSW Inland regional cities with a range of different stakeholders. As a result, there are significant indirect benefits arising from our participation, which can assist in pursuing other community strategic priorities.

Furthermore, Council’s withdrawal from the campaign will reduce its capacity to pique the interest of potential capital city relocators, the outcome of which could be a decrease in the number of skilled relocators to the Orange region.

 

Community Strategic Plan

The Evocities campaign aligns with the adopted Community Strategic Plan in then following objectives:

Objective 11: Sustainable tourism, events and visitor experiences

11.1. Capitalise on the character and lifestyle of Orange to remain a destination of choice

11.2. Develop and attract a variety of events, festivals, venues and activities for locals and visitors, ensuring accessibility for all

Objective 12: A smart, innovative and resilient industry sector

12.1. Attract and grow strategic investment

12.2. Support innovative industry sectors

12.3. Support educational and training opportunities that retain young people, attract new workers and provide local employment

12.4. Partner with key stakeholders to enhance opportunities for local business to grow and prosper

 

Options

The Committee has the following options:

1.       Confirm Orange City Council’s commitment to the continuation of the Evocities program for the period 2019/20 to 2022/23 and sign the MOU prepared by the Evocities Steering Committee and supported by the Mayors and General Managers via the NSW Inland Forum.

OR

2.       Terminate Orange City Council’s involvement in the Evocities program effective from 1 July 2019.

Conclusion

Evocities has attracted significant market penetration and delivered some key outcomes for all the cities involved, including boosting the economic activity across the seven cities.

Indirectly, the Evocities program has raised the credibility of NSW inland regional cities with a range of different stakeholders and provided the cities with a collective voice in their discussions with both levels of government.

The program has previously received strong support from the Federal Government, and has the capacity to assist in the achievement of the Government’s plans and strategies for regional development. The NSW State Government has also supported the Evocities and continues to work with us to identify projects that can be supported within its program guidelines. This has been reinforced by the recent success of Evocities in securing the Regional Growth – Marketing and Promotion Fund administered by the Department of Premier and Cabinet. Discussions in relation to future partnership opportunities are continuing.

Evocities is about changing the perceptions of capital city residents, in particular Sydney, to help them understand the value and benefits of living, working and investing in the regional NSW cities. With the program nearing an important 10 year anniversary milestone in the marketplace, Evocities is in a position to demonstrate its considerable success, despite the competition for consumer attention. In order to fully capitalise on the significant public investment in this program to date, it should continue until 30 June 2023.

Council’s participation ensures we have the opportunity to continue to promote Orange City Council, its jobs, lifestyle offer and investment opportunities. It also allows Council to leverage off the indirect benefits that arise from involvement in this program, which include enhancing and further developing our relationships with the State and Federal Government and partner Councils, to assist us in pursuing our strategic priorities.

RECORD NUMBER:       2018/2813

AUTHOR:                       Scott Maunder, Director Community, Recreation and Cultural Services    

 

 

EXECUTIVE Summary

The estimated cost to extend current season passes by 2 weeks is $2,500.

Policy and Governance Implications

Council’s approval is required to waive fees and charges.

 

 

RecommendationS

1       Grant free entry to the Aquatic Centre for the Start of Summer Weekend, 1 and 2 December 2018; and

2       Extend current seasonal pass holders as detailed in the report by 2 weeks.

 

 

 

further considerations

The recommendation of this report has been assessed against Council’s other key risk categories and the following comments are provided:

 

 

 

 

Image and Reputation

The closures or partial closures of the Aquatic Centre over the past several months has negatively impacted on the users of the centre.

 

SUPPORTING INFORMATION

Welcome to Summer Weekend

For a range of reasons the Aquatic Centre has been required to close or partially close over the last several months.

To celebrate the conclusion of major works at the Aquatic Centre and the start of Summer, it is proposed that the Aquatic Centre be opened free of charge for 1 and 2 December 2018.

Council staff will also be conducting other activities including water obstacle course, free sausage sizzles and other water activities.

Extension of Season Passes

Cr Hamling requested that Council consider the extension of season passes as a goodwill gesture to the community.

As Council is aware the Aquatic Centre pools consist of 3 distinct pools being the toddler’s pool, 25m indoor pool and 50m outdoor pool and dive pool. The different pools have been closed at different times due to either contamination or mechanical issues. Contamination due to vomit or faecal contamination result in a 3 hour closure whilst a mechanical issue closure can vary.

Due to the structure of the 3 pools is it normal that when one pool area is contaminated that other pools remain open and available for use and total facility closure has been rare.


 

For 2018 a summary of closures are the Aquatic Centre is:

 

Toddlers pool - Closed 23 times

·    6 faecal contaminations

·    4 vomits

·    12 turbidity (due to the floor failure)

·    1 broken glass

 

25m pool - Closed 16 times

·    10 Vomits

·    5 Faecal contaminations

·    1 plant issue

 

50m pool - Closed 3 times

·    1 vomit

·    1 faecal contamination

·    1 plant issue

 

The toddler’s pool has also been closed for the filter media replacement and the repair and repaint for a total of 70 days.

Total facility closures for broken pipes due to frost damage and to manage a chemical spill has been 6 days.

As a gesture to compensate the holders of a number of different types of passes for regular users of the Aquatic Centre that are issued for a fixed period of time it is recommended that the following passes are extended for 2 weeks. The passes that are in this category are:

12 month adult;

12 month child/concession;

12 month family;

6 month adult;

6 month child/concession;

6 month family;

3 month adult;

3 month adult aqua;

3 month child/concession; and

3 month family.

There are 143 current passes issued across these categories. The estimated cost to extend these passes for 2 weeks across current pass holders in these categories is $2,500.

5.13   Orange 360 Board - Orange City Council Delegates

RECORD NUMBER:       2018/2870

AUTHOR:                       Garry Styles, General Manager    

 

 

EXECUTIVE Summary

Council has for a number of years supported Orange 360 and its predecessor tourism entities, with Orange 360 now progressing as a Tourism Industry led entity to the point of holding its Annual General Meeting (AGM) and recruiting new Board members including a mix of community/stakeholder members and Council delegates.

The purpose of this report is to authorise Council delegates for the next Orange 360 Board.

Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan

The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “16.1 Collaborate - Work in partnership with other Councils, regional organisations and State and Federal Governments”.

Financial Implications

Orange City Council has agreed to provide funding for TDO (trading as Orange 360) for 3 years in the current funding agreement with a review to occur towards the end of the period in 2020. The nature of the request from Orange 360 before Council does not vary the current financial arrangements.

Policy and Governance Implications

Nil

 

Recommendation

That Council identify three (3) delegates from Council/Council staff to the TDO Pty Ltd Board.

 

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

Please find attached request from TDO limited (trading as Orange 360) seeking three Directors after the recent Board endorsement of their new draft constitution for presentation to the upcoming AGM on 27 November 2018.

Current Orange City Council delegates to the Orange 360 Board are Cr Kidd, Cr Whitton, Cr Hamling and General Manager Garry Styles.


 

In June 2017, Council resolved as follows:

RESOLVED - 17/275                                                                            Cr R Gander/Cr R Turner

1        That Council seek advice from the Office of Local Government on the issues identified about the formation of corporations as outlined in the report, seeking Ministerial approval if required.

2        That Council resolves that there are extenuating circumstances not to tender the regional tourism services given the ability of the industry led tourism entity to deliver the involvement of tourism operators in the region in order to achieve the regional tourism marketing tasks in Council’s Tourism Strategy which would be unable to be delivered by another entity.

3        That upon the completion of item 1, a three year performance based funding agreement with the industry led tourism entity be entered into, for $377,000 in year 1, $386,425 in year 2 and $396,086 in year 3 (all ex GST).

4        That a performance based funding agreement with specified key performance indicators to monitor performance based on the draft agreement provided be entered into so that Council can monitor the delivery of the activities.

5        That a Service Level Agreement illustrating the services from the Visitor Information Centre be entered into based on the draft service level agreement provided.

6        That an interim funding agreement for a three month period with a three month option be entered into on a pro-rata rate with TDO Ltd to ensure the delivery of tourism services is maintained if there is a delay in getting advice on the need for a Ministerial approval.

7        That the Council seal be applied to any documents as required.  

 

It is noted that the resolution has been enacted and completed.

Orange 360 has been steadily progressing its strategic plan which formed the basis of Council funding provided to the enterprise in recent years.

Originally Council was afforded four (4) positions on the Board, particularly to assist in the establishment phase of the enterprise, however to both go forward with a sensible maximum 11 Board members and to maximise the number of community/industry Board members Orange 360/TDO has put forward a draft constitution with a one (1) delegate reduction in Board members from Orange City Council going from four (4) to three (3) Board members. This approach is supported.

As a current and longstanding Orange City Council delegate to the Orange 360 Board and its predecessors, I advise that I am happy to continue in that role should Council wish to appoint me to the position, to, assist Orange 360 to continue to progress and to muster the outcomes which are both identified in the Orange 360 strategy, and, operating plan and which are valuable to Orange City Council in promoting tourism.


 

A copy of the Orange Region Tourism Strategic and Operational Plan was circulated to Councillors as part of the weekly email on 12 October 2018.
