2.1 Minutes of the Orange and Cabonne Road Safety Community Committee Meeting - 6 March 2019
2.2 Minutes of the City of Orange Traffic Committee meeting - 9 April 2019
1 Introduction
1.1 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 Committee Members now disclose any conflicts of interest in matters under consideration by the Infrastructure Policy Committee at this meeting. |

A more detailed monthly summary of raw water transfers can be found on Council’s website at https://www.orange.nsw.gov.au/water/oranges-water-supply/.
The Decision Support Tool (DST) analysis has been completed for the third quarter 2018/19, with continuing dry conditions requiring that all available supplementary raw water sources continue to be operated.
Macquarie River Flows
The flows in the Macquarie River monitored downstream of Long Point (Station 421192) exceeded the flow rate trigger of 119 ML/d on nine days in the period of 21 March to 23 April 2019. Transfers from the Macquarie River to Suma Park Dam occurred on 29 March to 5 April.
The chart below was sourced from the WaterNSW website with flows presented in megalitres per day (ML/d).
Water Consumption
Average daily residential water consumption during the week ending 25 April 2019 was 172 litres per person per day. The target under Level 4 water restrictions is 200 litres per person per day. The graph below shows the average daily residential water consumption trends since May 2018.
The average daily city-wide water consumption for the period between 15 March 2019 and 25 April 2019 was 11.3 ML/day.
Water Restrictions
Residents are currently on Level 4 water restrictions.
Level 5 water restrictions are to be implemented when the combined Spring Creek and Suma Park Dams water storage drops below 35% (currently at 38.2%). Projecting forward and assuming no inflows (i.e. a worst case supply curve) and based on the current water demand, modelling has predicted that Council may need to implement Level 5 water restrictions in June.
Council facility water audits
Council staff will be undertaking water audits of its own facilities over the next month. Staff will be focussing on the following areas:
· All parks and gardens (in particular high water users such as Wade Park, Cook Park and Robertson Park)
· Civic Centre
· Library/Art Gallery
· Aquatic Centre
· Works Depot
· Childcare centres
Water Savings Action Plans for each facility will be developed and implemented over time.
Non-residential water use
Council staff will also be engaging with large water use businesses in order to develop Water Savings Action Plans (WSAP’s). Non-residential water consumers have an important role to play in conserving Orange’s water and reducing the likelihood that greater restrictions will be introduced. Council has developed a tool to assist non-residential users in assessing their current water use levels and implementing changes that can be made to improve their water efficiencies. Potential benefits of completing a WSAP include:
· Improved management of water consumption resulting in reduced water-related costs;
· Change in staff behaviour and strengthened reputation;
· Development of a plan for the continuity of activities, where appropriate, in times of drought;
· Support of broad community efforts in reducing the likelihood that greater restrictions are introduced in the future.
DRINKING WATER QUALITY
Water samples are collected as a component of Orange City Council’s Drinking Water Quality Monitoring Program in accordance with NSW Health requirements. Samples are collected regularly and sent to a NSW Government National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accredited laboratory for analysis. Samples collected in March 2019 complied with the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines.
EUCHAREENA ROAD RESOURCE RECOVERY CENTRE LANDFILL STAGE 3 (ERRRC)
The construction of the Euchareena Road Resource Recovery Centre (ERRRC) is largely complete. Staff are currently reviewing the quality control report for the works and works as executed plans prior to giving practical completion on the project.
Decommissioning of Dam off Hawkes Lane
Hydro seeding is currently underway for the disturbed areas of Hawkes Dam. The only remaining work required is a small planting in the vicinity of the outlet structure to minimize erosion.

SHIRALEE SEWER
Council’s design office has been progressing the design of additional sewer to service the western portion of the Shiralee development area. Consultants have been engaged to investigate the environmental impacts of the project and identify geotechnical constraints so that the design can be finalized before going to competitive tender.
The sketch below is a preliminary concept plan of the infrastructure proposed to be constructed.
Southern Feeder Road CONSTRUCTION (SFR)
The SFR was progressing well with minimal variations or delays until recently. Unfortunately however on 16 April when piling commenced on the eastern side of the railway line, the underlying rock was identified as not having sufficient strength to support the bridge as designed. Additional geotechnical investigations are continuing to inform a redesign of the bridge supports. Once the investigation and design is complete, an understanding of the impact on the programme of work can be established.
CLEANING SERVICES: TENDER UPDATE
· To improve capability and capacity in tender delivery, two new local subcontractors were on-boarded over the last quarter.
· Contractor performance has met KPI in most areas across the tender scope.
· Council continues to work closely with the contractor to drive continual improvement.
· The tender continues to deliver expected budgetary savings.
AIRPORT PASSENGER NUMBERS
Passenger numbers for March 2019 were 7,139 compared with 6,928 in the same month in 2018.
