Environmental Sustainability A review of Council systems and processes in place to comply with Part 5 Assessment

in relation to environmental matters was undertaken with initial revised processes now in place.

The Blue Mountains Bushcare’s Big Day Out was held on Sunday 9 September at Central Park, Falls Road, Wentworth Falls. A range of activities were held including a bird walk with botanist and bird enthusiast, Jill Dark, planting, weed removal, mulching, pruning and a site walk and a well celebrated morning tea. This event was sponsored by the Council as part of national Landcare Week.

Human Resources Bullying / Harassment workshops were provided to all staff.

Land Use Management Certification services were reviewed by the Building Professionals Board (BPB). The

BPB representative noted that the Council’s procedures and practices were of a high standard and recognised its monitoring and reporting systems as the first to be found to be fully compliant with its obligations under the Building Professionals Act.

Libraries and Information A number of library events were held including:

- Annual ABC 702 Knit In - Children's Book Cover Art competition - Springwood Library hosted an introduction to Family History resources in

collaboration with the Blue Mountains Family History Society (27 people attended) during Family History Week

Mayor, Cr Daniel Myles and Cr Chris Van der Kley inspect the Council’s road sealing trial in Duperry St, north Wentworth Falls

Transport and Public Access The Council endorsed the use of electronic vehicle detection technology for managing

parking in appropriate circumstances at the 7 July Council Meeting. This decision was based on a trial of the detection technology in Leura in response to requests from the Leura Village Association. The aim of the technology is to increase turnover of vehicles consistent with the existing time limited signs, to promote a more equitable use of the parking resource.

The Sealing of Unsealed Roads Program commenced. This comprehensive road sealing program of selected gravel roads in the mid and lower mountains aims to reduce ongoing road maintenance costs as well as eliminating sediment run off and also providing improved amenity for residents.

This Council hosted Bike Week for Little Kids in September in Glenbrook Park, partnering with Lower Mountains Neighbourhood Centre, Gateway Family Services,

Mountains Outreach Community Service, Connect Child and Family Services and the Getting Around In Community Project to deliver a bigger and better Bike Week. Bike Week activities provided information and instruction on bike safety, riding skills and the enjoyment of cycling.

Fire and Rescue NSW Hazardous Material team assist with the removal of contaminated material from a stormwater basin as part of the Jamison Creek pollution incident clean up effort.

ISSUES TO NOTE

City‐wide Strategic Planning At the 7 August Council Meeting, the Council considered the requirement of the NSW

Government that BMCC commit to a timetable to implement the Standard Instrument Local Environmental Plan within the Blue Mountains by mid 2013. This latest directive from the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure presents very real challenges to the Council and community. The sustained focused effort necessary to implement the drafting of the Local Environmental Plan to meet the requirements of the NSW Government will require re‐allocation of resources, which is likely to affect the planned work programs and services contained within the adopted Delivery and Operational Plan and may also require additional resources. This will be further considered in Quarter 2.

The NSW Government has invited submissions to ‘A New Planning System for NSW Green Paper’. The Green Paper for the reform of the NSW Planning system represents the most significant review of the planning legislation for a generation. At the 25 September 2012 Council Meeting, the Council agreed to make a submission to the Green Paper. It is the case, that the Blue Mountains is a highly complex planning environment, and one with a community with high expectations for the quality of the built environment and the protection of important places. It will be important that the Council maintain its focus as the reform process unrolls and concludes, to ensure that the values of the Blue Mountains and the expectations of its community are met now and in the longer term.

Cultural Development

The funding of the Bicentenary Crossing events was considered at the 28 August 2012 Council meeting. Funding of $90,000 for the three Council‐managed events ‐ the Government House Reception, ‘Top of Town’ in Katoomba, and ’21 Days on the Mountain’ – was identified from within the 2011‐2012 operating surplus.

Environmental Sustainability After a mass die‐off of freshwater crayfish,

native fish and other macro‐invertebrates (water bugs) was reported by a bushwalker, the Council commenced investigations into the incident immediately. An inspection by Council staff found hundreds of crayfish, both adult and juvenile, dead or dying in the creek, extending from the Great Western Highway through to the waterfall at Wentworth Falls. The NSW Department of Primary Industries Fisheries Division (DPI), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and NPWS continued the investigation with support from the Council. The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), identified the contaminant as a termiticide, a pesticide commonly used for termite control. Test results suggest the contaminant entered the creek via the stormwater outlet in Wilson Park, Wentworth Falls. The Council, with the assistance of the Fire and Rescue NSW hazardous material team, coordinated the removal of contaminated sediment from a stormwater basin located on private land last week, as a matter of urgency, to prevent further

5


contamination of Jamison Creek. The Council commenced investigations into the potential cause of the pollution and will continue regular monitoring of the water quality and macro‐invertebrates (waterbugs) in Jamison Creek to assess ongoing impacts of the contamination and the rate of recovery.

Governance The Council elections on 8 September were successfully held with the election of eight

new Councillors and four Councillors re‐elected from the previous term. The Council has provided the Councillors with a number of induction sessions.

Emergency Management

The Council considered the NSW State Government’s review of emergency services funding at the 28 August 2012 Council Meeting. The Council endorsed a submission being made based on the following themes:

a) that Council supports the introduction of a broad‐based property levy as the State’s source of funding for emergency services, provided this replaces the current 11.7% statutory contributions made by Council;

b) that Council’s preference is that the broad‐based property levy is applied as a flat rate per property and that some exemption is established for lands owned, vested in, or under the care, control and management of Council;

c) that the State recognises that Blue Mountains City Council has significant risk and asset management obligations as a major land manager of a City within a fire‐prone, World Heritage area, and that Council should continue to be able to levy associated costs from ratepayers through the Emergency Services Annual Charge (ESAC); and

d) that any broad‐based property levy is collected by the Office of State revenue, or if collected by Council on behalf of the State, that this be on a fee for service basis.

Quarterly Budget Review Statement by the Responsible Accounting Officer In accordance with the Local Government Act, 1993 and the provisions of clause 9 of the Financial Management Regulation, a budget review statement and revision of estimates must be completed and submitted to the Council for formal adoption at the end of each financial quarter. This report must include details on the general financial position of the Council and if this position is regarded as unsatisfactory, also include recommendations for remedial action.

The following information details the budget review statement to the end of September 2012 in accordance with the requirements of the legislation. The Department of Local Government has issued guidelines for the minimum requirements of Quarterly Budget Review Statements. The minimum requirements are mandatory from 1 July 2011. The statements included in the budget review statement by the responsible accounting officer comply with the minimum requirements of the Department of Local Government.

Working Capital Result The Council’s Working Capital Result is a financial measure that highlights the Council’s ability to satisfy financial obligations in the short term. The Working Capital Position is defined as the net amount of uncommitted funds available to the Council in the next 12 month period and importantly it excludes non‐cash items like depreciation. A surplus indicates how much uncommitted funds the Council has provided to account for cash tied up in inventory and long outstanding debts. The Council aims to maintain an optimum level of working capital of around $1.7 million to $1.8 million. The Council’s Working Capital for the year ended 30 June 2012 was a surplus of $1.862 million. An analysis of actual results and revised projections as at September 2012 Quarter has resulted in no change to the projected working capital position and therefore the position is maintained at $1.862 million projected to 30 June 2013. Subject to the Council adopting the recommended variations, the estimated effective working capital of $1,862,000 is maintained within the calculated optimum level. The following reconciliation illustrates the projected Working Capital position as at the 30 June 2013 review.
