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.

NUMBER: 2020/1171
AUTHOR: Tony
Boland, Acting Business Development Manager
EXECUTIVE Summary
The local government sector is often a key stimulator in
regional economies. The Council purchases cars, plant, consumables and services
which leads to further flow on effects to the broader economy. The retail
sector is often the area where Council has the least amount of capacity to
influence additional expenditure.
At the Extraordinary Council Meeting in June when adopting
the budget, Council approved a cash injection of $50,000 directly into the
local retail sector through the Shop Orange program. The project has been
titled Retail Recovery.
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
The $50,000 has been approved by Council. The resourcing for
the conduct of the project will be met from existing resources.
Policy and Governance Implications
Nil.
|
Recommendation
That the Committee acknowledge the report on the Retail
Recovery project.
|
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
|
While the project will take
considerable internal resources, the nature of the project is short term so
that staff are able to reprioritise current workloads to resource the
project.
|
|
|
Image and Reputation
|
This is the only realistic way that
Council is able to quickly assist the retail sector it its recovery from
Covid-19 restrictions.
|
|
SUPPORTING INFORMATION
For many years local government has grappled with the concept
of how to stimulate the local retail sector. There have been many theories
about how this might be achieved including major prize draws and advertising
campaigns. Very few of these options allow for immediate impact into the retail
economy.
The Council resolution of 23 June 2020 to allocate $50,000 to a
Retail Recovery project was the fastest way for Orange City Council to put
money back into the local retail economy. To facilitate this injection of
funds, the Shop Orange program has been used.
The Retail Recovery project has set up two separate competitions
for Orange residents to enter. Each competition will have 5 weekly draws of 100
cards with a value of $50 per card. One competition is an online competition
where each person can only enter once and the entry lasts the entirety of the
competition. The second competition is a traditional based paper entry form.
Having two competitions ensures the people who are not digitally literate or
connected can also compete in the completion. Each person can only win in each
competition once.
The first draw of the competitions took place on 8 July 2020
and 200 residents were notified the same day. Around half (100 cards) were
collected the same day.
The Shop Orange program was chosen as the conduit for the
Retail Recovery as it was already in place and the expenditure can be limited
to local businesses. It also builds on the recent Newcrest/Orange 360
Staycation project. Although national businesses (Westfarmers, Woolworths,
Super Retail Group) are eligible to take part in the program, they choose not
to. This means that most of the 115 plus businesses that are registered for the
Shop Orange program are locally owned and operated businesses.
While the Retail Recovery project is an immediate injection
into the economy, Council has also reviewed its purchasing practices and taken
steps to ensure as much purchasing as possible is local. Council has reviewed
its policy on Local Purchasing that has seen local providers be given a 5%
advantage over out of area quotes and tenders. The CEO has also directed that
all purchasing must be reviewed and where ever possible, the product purchased
locally.

3.1 Updated
Spendmapp Data for the COVID-19 Restricted Period
RECORD
NUMBER: 2020/1262
AUTHOR: Tony
Boland, Acting Business Development Manager
EXECUTIVE Summary
Council has been subscribing to the Spendmapp application
since April 2019. Spendmapp allows Council to understand what is going on in
the local economy and have actual figures on which to base decisions.
Geografia, the creator of Spendmapp, have faced a significant number of issues
in securing the data since the Royal Commission into the banking and finance
industry. The banks effectively locked down all information in case there was a
breach of privacy and have only just started to release information again.
Geografia have been in liaison with the financial
institutions that release the data that informs the Spendmapp application. This
is a delicate and drawn out process since the Royal Commission and has seen one
of the Big 4 banks withdraw their data services altogether (ANZ Business
Insights). The data provided is a snapshot of how the various sectors of the
economy fared over the COVID-19 restricted period.
Councillors should remember that the Spendmapp data is
aggregated data and does not reflect the performance of every business, just
the overall performance of the category. While there are a number of businesses
that have done well in the restrictions and some businesses that have matched
the average, there are a number of businesses that have struggled and continue
to struggle now. It is important that this is in the forefront of
everyone’s mind when discussing the aggregated data.
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
There are no direct policy or governance implications but
the data presented and future data will continue to inform Council’s strategic
planning.
|
Recommendation
That Councillors
acknowledge the report on the Updated Spendmapp Data for the COVID-19
Restricted 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
Geografia have been in negotiation about supply with their
data company for an extended period. This has been a fallout from the Royal
Commission into the banking and finance industry. While the process has not
returned to normal, the data is beginning to flow, which allows us to see the
spending impacts of the COVID-19 restrictions and measures to address this.
The table below is a summary across the 14 industry groups
reported by Spendmapp. The figures represent a growth or decline in comparison
to the corresponding month in 2019. Breakdowns of the categories are attached.

Please note, these figures do not include Jobkeeper payments
made to business, just activity over the counter or by phone. The figures do
not include the grants made by the NSW Government or by any other bodies.
The underlying algorithm for calculating total expenditure may
have slightly over estimated the level of activity as the economy moved toward
a cashless system during March and April. The algorithm is based on data from
the Reserve Bank and the Reserve Bank have not updated their data since the outbreak
of COVID in relation to cash transactions as a percentage of overall
transactions. Advice from Geografia is that cash transactions as a percentage
of overall transactions in the algorithm was already low prior to COVID, so the
variation (when adjusted) is not likely to be significant. This means the level
of actual expenditure is less than shown here, but anecdotal checks with local
businesses have seen confirmation that this level of expenditure is typical of
their industry group.
The month of March saw growth across 13 of the 14 sectors.
Only the travel sector reduced in March which is to be expected as part of the
restrictions or ‘lock down’ on airlines, motels, caravan parks and
holiday accommodation.
Economic Stimulus was provided in the way of a $750 cash
payment that were delivered between 31 March 2020 and 17 April 2020 to eligible
welfare recipients. The Jobkeeper payment with the Corona Virus supplement
($1100) commenced on 27 April 2020. The Jobkeeper payment commenced in the
first week of May 2020, but was backdated to 30 March 2020 for eligible
businesses.
Supermarkets (groceries) saw substantial growth in sales in
March as people stocked up on non-perishable items, food staples and toilet
paper. Supermarkets then experienced a slight fall in April as many people were
already stocked up with non-perishables. The month of May then saw a slight
growth.
Trades were also up in March as people carried out renovations
while in isolation or carrying out conversions for home offices. They also dropped
off in April but rebounded in May. Light industry was also in positive
territory over the three months as people renovated properties while in
isolation.
Bulky goods (including hardware), specialised & luxury
goods (office furniture, toy stores, antique shops) and specialised food
retailing (bottle shops) showed an increase each month for the three months in
comparison with 2019.
Some of the most negatively affected groups outside of the
travel segment were dining & entertainment, furniture and household,
personal services (laundry services, beauticians and cleaning services) as well
as professional services.
