Cr Nugent noted that the operating ratio, own source and debt service seemed to be tracking worse in this quarter compared to the original budget and if there were any reasons for it.

The Manager Financial Services advised that because of the quarterly revision, this has caused the ratios to slightly worsen.

5.4 Adoption of the Blackmans Swamp Creek and Ploughmans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan - October 2020

RECORD NUMBER: 2020/2339

AUTHOR: Jason Theakstone, Manager Engineering Services

EXECUTIVE Summary

This report serves to adopt the Blackmans Swamp Creek and Ploughmans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan, October 2020 after being exhibited for a 28 day period.

Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan

The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “7.1 Preserve - Engage with the community to develop plans for growth and development that value the local environment”.

Financial Implications

Nil

Policy and Governance Implications

Nil associated with this recommendation.

Recommendation

That Council adopt the Blackmans Swamp Creek and Ploughmans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan, October 2020 but defer the planning and development controls shown in Section 5.9 of the report until such time that the Department of Planning Industry and Environment allows flood controls on land above the 1% flood.

further considerations

SUPPORTING INFORMATION

Council would remember resolving to exhibit the Blackmans Swamp Creek and Ploughmans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan, October 2020 for a period of 28 days and seek comment at its 20 October 2020 meeting.

Consultation

Council’s media department has undertaken an exhibition process using social and print media. The general public was encouraged to make comment on Council’s YourSay website which had 2 questions to tease out a response on development controls and physical mitigation measures. Both questions had an opportunity to leave a comment.

The following questions were posed to the public on the YourSay site:

1 The Floodplain Plan suggests changes to Orange's Development Control Plan which would put limits on the buildings allowed to be constructed in flood-prone areas of Orange. Do you support these changes?

2 The Floodplain Plan suggests a list of mitigation measures in locations around Orange would cost around $12.6 million and seeking funding from other tiers of government for this work. Do you support the Council beginning this work as funds are available?

Of the 17 visitors to the site, 12 people responded to the survey.

Of the 12 people who responded to Question 1 of the survey:

· 3/12 responded negatively to Question 1 and left the following comments as responded to by the author of this report:

o “If they can build on sand in Dubai, surely Orange can build on flood lands.”

Manager of Engineering Services response: “Sand provides a great foundation for buildings all around the world but even in Dubai they don’t build within flood prone land.”

o “Lack of foresight in the past has led to problems in the CBD area. The critical infrastructure i.e. Council buildings should never have been built on a swamp area. Move these to say the old DPI building and look at the problems being created by dense housing being proposed in the catchment area upstream i.e. the old rifle range etc. and make it a water catchment area.”

Manager of Engineering Services response: Agree that lack of foresight has led to buildings being built on swamps (flood prone land). The Blackmans Swamp Creek and Ploughmans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan, October 2020 aims to provide this foresight. Moving all of the Civic Centre to the old DPI building won’t help with flood mitigation and Council will be harvesting water from Rifle Range Creek once the Phillip Street stormwater harvesting basin is constructed.

· Council received one positive comment for question 1 being: “Having no buildings in flood prone areas will allow for more open spaces which Orange needs to preserve its character.”

Manager of Engineering Services response: Agree.

Of the 12 people who responded to Question 2 of the survey:

· 1/12 people responded negatively to Question 2 and left the following comments as responded to by the author of this report,

o “How often does Orange flood to justify that amount of money. Surely local Council can fix this.”

Manager of Engineering Services response: Orange has the probability to flood at least once every five years. The 1999 flood caused significant damage to the buildings within Orange. Yes Council can mitigate these floods by adopting the Blackmans Swamp Creek and Ploughmans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan, October 2020 and implementing the mitigation measures.

· Of the 11 people that responded positively to Question 2, one person said: “As long as it doesn't leave rate payers to pay for Councils previous errors and does not disadvantage individual households and their way of life in its implementations.”

Manager of Engineering Services response: Council will always try not to disadvantage any household.

During the exhibition period, Council sent the Blackmans Swamp Creek and Ploughmans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan, October 2020 to various industry groups and received commentary for the State Emergency Service (SES) and Department of Primary Industries and Environment (DPIE – formally OEH).

DPIE responded with:

“The Consultant has done outstanding modelling work considering the complex flood behaviour in Orange and it is expected the flood mitigation measures once implemented would reduce the risk of flooding.

Glad to advise the draft has been revised by The Department and it was found that met the current NSW Flood Prone Land Policy and undertaken based on the technical guidelines recommended in The Floodplain Development Manual.

The non-structural floodplain mitigation measures sound feasible and realistic, as well as the proposed Ultimate Flood Mitigation Scheme and the Vegetation Management Plan. However, in order to facilitate the application process for the following Stage 3 and Stage 4 in the NSW Floodplain Management Program, it is suggested to include the Investigation & Design - I&D (detailed design) into Measure 6 and designate the Measure 7 (Stage 4) exclusively to construction activities. In other words, at the end of Stage 3, the Scheme should be ready for construction activities.

Also, note OEH has been abolished and its reference in Page S-5 should be changed to The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.”

Manager of Engineering Services response: Council will apply for funding through DPIE as a staged process by applying for funding for investigation and design of mitigation measures and then construction.

SES responded with:

“The NSW State Emergency Service has reviewed the documents and has no changes or amendments.

The SES looks forward to working closely with Orange City Council in the adoption of the Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan and the implementation of its recommendations”.

Manager of Engineering Services response: Council is already working closely with the SES with the outcomes of the Plan and will continue to do so.

Planning and Development controls shown in Section 5.9.

Council should note that Clause 7.2 (2) of the Orange LEP restricts planning controls on development on land above the 1% AEP flood (1:100 year flood) by virtue of the Standard Instrument.

Section 5.9 of the Blackmans Swamp Creek and Ploughmans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan, October 2020 provides a set of graded flood controls for land uses at and below the 1% AEP but also has controls for critical and vulnerable developments (Hospitals, Aged Care Centres) above the 1% AEP flood as the Department of Planning is working towards including development flood related controls for critical and vulnerable developments above the 1 % AEP flood.

Council may remember adopting a set of DCP flood related controls at its 19 November 2019 meeting when adopting the flood maps. It is recommended that Council shelve the DCP controls shown within Section 5.9 of the Blackmans Swamp Creek and Ploughmans Creek Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan, October 2020 until such time the Department of Planning amend the Standard Instrument to allow controls on land above the 1 % AEP flood.

5.5 NetWaste Quotation F3536 for Regional Household Chemical Collection 2021

RECORD NUMBER: 2020/2347

AUTHOR: Wayne Davis, Manager Waste Services and Technical Support

EXECUTIVE Summary

The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s endorsement to engage a contractor to collect, transport, and dispose/recycle household hazardous chemicals collected from the Ophir Road Resource Recovery Centre.

A selective quotation process was coordinated by NetWaste in September 2020, on behalf of Sixteen (16) participating NetWaste Councils.

The services required from the successful quote on behalf of the participating Councils include:

· Undertaking the servicing of each Household Chemical Collection (HCC) event within the required timeframes in April/May 2021.

· Provide safe EPA licensed and environmentally approved transport, disposal, and reprocessing methods to the household chemical products collected within the NetWaste region

Provide and collate reports to NetWaste, and the respective Councils as required outlining the volume and range of chemicals collected from each participating HCC Council event.

Link To Delivery/OPerational Plan

The recommendation in this report relates to the Delivery/Operational Plan strategy “8.1 Preserve - Identify and deliver essential water, waste and sewer infrastructure to service the community into the future”.

Financial Implications

Chemical collection event 100% funded by DPIE/EPA, Paintback LTD, and NetWaste - NIL cost for event hosting and chemical collection.

Nominal advertising charge for each Council - $1000 for each half day event, $2000 for each full day event (includes TV, Radio, Print, and Social Media).

Aside from the above there is no cost to Council and as such the report is not in closed.

Policy and Governance Implications

A contract will result from the appointment of a Contractor for the period for the collection, removal, storage, and disposal of chemicals collected from the nominated Collection Centres. It is recommended that if Council confirm participation in the NetWaste contract, notification be given to Council insurers about the upcoming service due to the hazardous nature of the material collected and responsibilities under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act).

Recommendation

1 That Council confirms its acceptance of the quotation submitted by Environmental Treatment Solutions (ETS) dated 25 September 2020, and to take part in the 2021 Regional Household Chemical Clean Out contract.

2 The contract will only be effective upon execution of the contract document by both Council and ETS. Council is not legally bound until the contract is executed by both parties.

further considerations

SUPPORTING INFORMATION

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

Orange City Council Pound

Activity	Existing fee EX GST	Proposed fee Ex GST	Justification
Microchipping	-	$30	New Pound Officer has accreditation to Microchip companion animals. Was previously carried out by vets. Costing for Council $5 per microchip and $25 Staff time.
Orange City Council De-sexing Program	$50	$60	The minor increase in fees is to cover registration of de-sexed animals for which under the Companion Animal Act 20/21 the fee has increased to $60.

Orange Civic Theatre

Orange Civic Theatre (OCT) attracts and delivers a range of quality performances and diverse events that are utilised by businesses, community, patrons and visitors.

Since March 2020, the OCT has been effectively closed to the public due to COVID-19 restrictions and forcing 112 shows (to date) to be cancelled or rescheduled. As of 1 July 2020, imposed restrictions started to lift to allow events and performances to proceed and to encourage client and consumer confidence and increase utilisation at the OCT. This report recommends a COVID-19 Recovery Offer to clients/hirers.

The request is for a 50% discount off venue hire only for the Theatre. The 50% discount would also apply to the professional/commercial sector.

OCT is recommending a proactive approach to increase client confidence to proceed with bookings or shows and to increase utilisation on dates where shows have been postponed to 2021.

Hirers/clients have noted the below reasons for not confirming to proceed with their shows:

· Limited capacity of the theatre (not financially feasible).

· Full capacity is not permitted (especially for larger multi-day performances).

· Concerns for future lock-down (as being seen in Victoria).

· Concerns for cast and crew who may be vulnerable to the virus.

· Concerns for general public health and safety.

The proposed Recovery Offer would confirm that OCT is open for business, are looking to assist the arts and business community to hold shows and events and to commence their road to recovery.

The purpose COVID-19 Recovery Offer is to increase activation in the Theatre that is done in a manner that will not result in an actual cost to the Organisation. The Offer is a 50% discount on venue hire of the theatre only, which is a reflection on the available seating (including the requirement of social distancing) for meetings and events. All other fees and charges will remain the same.

Potential financial risks to Council are limited given all associated fees and charges, such as staff and equipment hire remain the same. The OCT is currently open for business and therefore staff and overhead costs remain unchanged with no event income. Social and economic benefits include activation of venue, suppliers being sourced (catering, alcohol wholesalers), flow-on effects for hospitality partners increasing patrons prior to shows, and increased confidence for community to support public facilities in the Orange region.

The proposed COVID-19 Recovery Offer is recommended to commence from 1 August until 31 March 2021. Should capacity restrictions lift to allow full capacity within four weeks of any show or event, then full fees and charges would apply.

RECOMMENDATION

1. That the COVID-19 Recovery Offer be offered to users from 1 August 2020 to 31 March 2021.

2. That the COVID-19 Recovery Offer consist of a 50% discount for Theatre Venue Hire (Monday to Sunday) for professional/commercial, performing arts businesses in the Local Government Area, community/Not-for-Profit and schools/registered charity, noting that this does not include public holidays and all other fees and charges remain the same.

3. That Council cease the COVID-19 Recovery Offer should full capacity of Orange Civic Theatre be allowed within four weeks of an event or show.
