1 ABOUT THIS REPORT 1.1 Context

The City of Gold Coast’s Corporate Performance Report provides a quarterly assessment of progress towards implementing Council’s Corporate Plan, Gold Coast 2020, and Operational Plan 2013-14. The Corporate Performance Report is a legislative requirement under the Local Government Regulation 2012. It is a summary assessment of the services, initiatives and outcomes delivered to the Gold Coast community.

A new City Vision for Gold Coast was endorsed by Council on 29 January 2013. A new Corporate Plan – Gold Coast 2020 – was adopted by Council on 11 March 2014. The Operational Plan supports the delivery of the Corporate Plan and provides direction for all Council services.

This Corporate Performance Report assesses the contribution of current Council services and initiatives which are supporting the delivery of Council’s Corporate and Operational Plans over the quarter.

1.2 Measuring the progress of the portfolio

The Operational Plan for 2013-14 comprises eight external Service Programs, with a total of 35 services, and two internal Service Programs with 12 services.

The external programs are:

City Planning, City Transport, Community Health and Safety, Conservation and Environment, Economic Development, Parks Recreation and Culture, Waste Management and Water & Sewerage.

The internal programs which focus on how the organisation will support the delivery of the programs and services above are:

Organisational Capability and Internal Services.

The performance of the Operational Plan Portfolio will be monitored through review of the following:

The Corporate Performance Report (CPR) is based on exception reporting where significant deviations from expected progress are reported, focussing on those initiatives that require attention.

Initiative Status

The progress of initiatives within each Service have been assessed and given a status indicator. The status criteria and indicators are explained in the following table labelled ‘Initiative Status Indicators and Criteria’.

Overall indicator

Status Indicator meaning

Completed Initiative has been completed

On track Initiative is proceeding to plan with no indication of future impediments to progress / project has been completed.

Closely monitor

Progress is not as expected however, action is being/has been undertaken and it is expected to be back on track prior to the end of the next reporting period / spend is not as expected but the budget will be reviewed e.g. via a review within Budget Centre, Cost Plan Review, Cost Journals, or reprovisions / formal Budget review by Council.

Action required Progress is significantly behind schedule or is rated as ‘closely monitor’ for three consecutive quarters and decisive action is required to get back on track and requires a committee decision.

2 PORTFOLIO OVERVIEW

This Quarterly Corporate Performance Report contributes to the assessment of progress against the Corporate Plan and the Operational Plan 2013-14 as at 30 June 2014, Quarter 4.

As at Q4, the portfolio consisted of 194 initiatives with a total value of $172,078,532 (financials were updated on 28 July 2014).

Initiative progress by program

Key issues identified

City Transport Program has the lowest percentage, 55.10% of initiatives either on track or completed, with the majority of those not on track requesting reprovision of funds to a value of $3,318,485. However, a substantially higher percentage (75.79%) of the program budget has been spent as a result of reallocation of funds during the year to those projects that could be completed by the end of Quarter four. One project was delayed due to adjacent Light Rail works and one project was cancelled as the State

government could not provide the funding expected. There are two large projects, Guanaba Creek Road Bridge Replacement and Upgrade to Helensvale Road, with a current, combined value of $8,978,863, that are multi-year projects. Reprovisions are being requested as the end of year spend (actuals plus commitments) was $1,551,394.

While City Planning shows 60% of initiatives on track, there are only five initiatives currently reported for this service with two being delayed by the Cooly Rocks On Festival which was held 30 May to 9 June. These initiatives will commence in Q1 of 2014-15.

Parks, Recreation and Culture have three of their nine initiatives as closely monitor. All three, with a total value of $620,000, are in relation to South Stradbroke/Tipplers improvements with one being delayed by the alteration of the start date for a major project by the Gold Coast Waterways Authority.

Economic Development has 75% of initiatives either on track or completed but only 37% of the budget, total of $12,326,239, spent. The budget spend has been significantly impacted by one project, the Relocation of the fishing club and boat ramp at Broadwater Parklands, with a value of $5,299,083 being delayed by lengthy State approval processes. This will require reprovision.

In relation to Catchment Management, there was an issue with staff resourcing during the first quarter of the year, resulting in eight initiatives being closely monitor. All initiatives were reviewed leading to six being placed on hold/deferred and resources being allocated to the remaining 10. At the end of Quarter 4, nine of these projects have now been completed and one initiative is on track for completion during 2014-15.

Internal Services have 100% of initiatives either on track or completed even though less than 60% of the $32,107,223 budget has been expended. $10,916,401 allocated to Fleet and Plant was not spent, as an asset review deferred the replacement of some vehicles. The project schedule was reviewed in Quarter 3 and is now back on track with reprovisions requested.

Initiative overview

Of the 194 initiatives in the portfolio:

a. Initiatives - Action required

No initiatives are marked as action required for this quarter.

b. Initiatives - Closely monitor

Of the 37 initiatives rated as closely monitor:

18 of these, with a value of $4,046,396, are from the City Transport Program, with the next highest group being five, from the Organisational Capability Program, with a value of $23,000.

c. Initiatives - On hold

Of the 15 initiatives on hold:

six initiatives are from the Conservation and Environment Program – refer to Catchment Management comment above

four initiatives sit within the City Transport Program with two having resources allocated to higher priority projects, one awaiting the State government and one pending consideration by the Mayor and Director Engineering Services.

3.2 Services

Progress report on services Council provides a total of 47 services, 35 externally facing and 12 relating to Organisational Capability or Internal support services. Progress on the delivery of these services is reported in Quarter 2 and Quarter 4.

A frequently highlighted issue amongst services was the ability to maintain current levels of service within existing resources. Some of the key highlights and challenges that have been identified by services include:

Program – City Transport Service – Parking Facilities and Regulation – Services were delivered as specified

except complaint response time has increased up to seven days (dependent upon risk) and the on call facility has been cancelled with recurrent on call matters being dealt with in routine after hours patrols. This was an operational decision to focus resources on high volume parking areas. Although the complaint response time has been pushed out, they are still prioritised based on risk and attended to accordingly. This process is being monitored and it is subject to review as necessary.

Service – Traffic Management and Safety – A key challenge is the integration of traffic signals associated with the implementation of the light rail, which will be closely monitored to ensure optimisation of traffic flow and operations.

Program - Community Health and Safety Service – Animal Management – Intervention practices with respect to cats will be

adjusted with Council no longer requiring registration of cats for 2014-15. This will result in a minor decrease in revenue and expenditure. The pounds are frequently at capacity requiring the suboptimal practice of doubling animals in pens. Demand for impounding facilities is anticipated to increase over time.

Service – Public and Environmental Health – The late onset of typical winter weather conditions resulted in tidal inundations in May and June which led to significant populations of the saltmarsh mosquito (Aedes vigilax). Two further aerial treatments were required during this period.

Service – Social Planning and Research - Following extensive community consultation, the City launched its inaugural Accessible and Inclusive City Action Plan 2014-19 (AICAP) in June 2014 and lodged it with the Australian Human Rights Commission. The Plan contains 170 actions to progressively improve community access to the City's facilities, services and information. The AICAP will be monitored and reviewed every 12 months.

Program - Parks, Recreation and Culture Service – Library Services – Almost 40,000 new members joined the library over the

year with the largest intake occurring at Southport and the two new libraries at Helensvale and Upper Coomera. 48.3% of residents (2013 Estimated Resident Population) are library members.

Service – Parks, Sport and Recreation – The popularity of nature based recreation continues to grow. The capacity of some tenants (local sports and community groups) to maintain leased assets will be a challenge as these assets reach a condition where significant investment to repair, renovate or replace infrastructure arises.

Program – Conservation and Environment Service – Catchment Management – Loss of, or reduced funding for Healthy

Waterways membership will impact the City’s ability to report on the health and safety of water environments to the community and may impact on the ability to report against targets for water environments (including for the Corporate Plan).

Program - Waste Management Service – Waste Collection – Construction of the Light Rail caused major disruptions to

waste collection services along the corridor during 2013-14 and required extra resourcing to manage.

Program - Water and sewerage Service – Recycled Water – A Project Control Group has been formed within Gold

Coast Water to oversee the transition to decommission the Class A+ recycled water product and the switching over to potable water use via the dual reticulation infrastructure.

Program – Internal services

Service – Property and Facilities Management - The second half of the year saw a significant number of competing demands placed on the accommodation team to achieve additional unplanned staff moves. These were all achieved within client expectations although resulted in some delays to the delivery of the overall accommodation program, seeing the delivery of floors now extending to December 2014.

3.3 Performance measures 3.3.1 Internal Performance

A suite of performance measures was developed and incorporated into the Operational Plan to assess the internal, operational efficiency of the organisation. Two measures, Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Requisition to Purchase Order in two days, cannot now be reported as the data is no longer collected. Performance measures are continually being reviewed and refined to improve the ability to assess the organisation’s performance.

Of the reported measures, 22 were on track, three were closely monitor and two were reported for the first time, providing a baseline for future reporting.

*Figures are produced from data available in July following the end of the relevant financial year, may be subject to subsequent adjustment and are from figures not yet audited. #This measure has been adjusted to report the number of incidents of applications failing the 99% availability target.

Measures assessed as closely monitor: Capital Expenditure – Budget vs Actual - Key issues contributing to this end of year position include: The provision of the complete budget for multi-year initiatives within one financial year

impacted the capital budget spend. These include but were not limited to Guanaba Bridge (surplus $4,225,358), Helensvale Road Upgrade (surplus $3,202,111) and the Palm Beach Shoreline Strategy (surplus $921,455). These three projects alone total in excess of $8 million.

Some projects were delayed during the year as a result of requiring State and/or Federal government approvals e.g. Relocation of Fishing Shed and Boat Ramp (Broadwater Parklands), Earthworks to expand Carrara Sports Precinct.

Fleet and Plant service–GCW and Construction Services have put on hold or deferred all truck replacements until configurations have been agreed following the light vehicle fleet review. Additionally, a compactor fire this year, which was not fully covered by insurance, requires capital funds reserved this year for the replacement, to be rolled over into next year.

ICT – the Computer Room Move was delayed pending the endorsement of the ICT Roadmap with this initiative now included in the Roadmap program.

Grants and Subsidies Received from Federal and State Governments - Current State and Federal Government fiscal policies have limited councils’ funding opportunities, although success was achieved this year in obtaining a number of grants and subsidies. Opportunities to maximise future funding will continue to be explored. Reported Work Health and Safety Incidents - There has been a slight decrease in the numbers of incidents reported and notifiable incidents over the year. This should be balanced though with the transition to HandS from RMIS as the collection of incident data such as this has potentially elevated the numbers of incidents reported. This will level out as users become more familiar with the reporting system. As a result, there is no indication to suggest that this drop in reported WHS incidents is reflective of a drop in the actual occurrence of WHS incidents but rather suggestive that either the ‘novelty’ of using the new HandS system has worn off or a culture of under reporting is present throughout the organisation. There has also been a push to ensure that contractor notifiable incidents are reported by the contractor and Council only reports their own to clarify clear responsibilities for the investigation, this had led to a significant reduction over time in the number of these incidents. This measure is rated closely monitor as the Corporate WHS Team will continue to monitor the trend of WHS incident data and continue to communicate to the organisation the importance of reporting all WHS incidents within HandS

The reduction in Health and Injury Management (H&IM) triage cases should be noted. Under the RMIS system, H&IM staff had to open every incident to determine the type (security, vehicle, injury etc.) before triage could begin. Using HandS, the records are grouped and displayed by type, so only the injury types are looked at. While the number of cases referred on from triage remains steady, the introduction of HandS has had a very positive impact in the reduction of time spent triaging cases, i.e. it is easier to discount incidents not requiring investigating. This equates to a 30% reduction in time spent by H&IM staff.

3.3.2 Customer Satisfaction

The Operational Plan 2013-14 identified Customer Satisfaction as a set of key measures for the portfolio. A budget submission to undertake a customer satisfaction survey was included

with the 2014-15 budget process, but was not approved. There is no available report for customer satisfaction. 4 SUMMARY OF PORTFOLIO PROGRESS 2013-14

The Corporate Performance Report contributes to the assessment of progress against the Corporate Plan and the Operational Plan. As at Q4 2013-14, the portfolio consisted of 194 initiatives with a total value of $172,078,532.

Overall, the portfolio is performing well and key results include:

YTD actual expenses were $132,829,508 with commitments of $179,194 giving a total YTD spend plus commitments against initiatives of $133,008,702 or 77.30% of budget (note - some initiatives included multi-year funding commitments)

63 initiatives were on track and continuing into the 2014-15 financial year and 79 were completed, resulting in 73.2% of initiatives being either on track or completed by the end of the year (note - some initiatives were multi-year projects not scheduled for completion during 2013-14)

at Q4 only 37 initiatives required close monitoring with 15 others on hold

of the 27 internal performance measures, 22 (81%) were on track, three required close monitoring and 2 reported the first year’s baseline figures

With regard to Council’s service provision, key challenges during the year included service adjustments required to support the implementation of Light Rail; the ability to maintain current levels of service within existing resources and the implementation of a significant accommodation relocation program.

Qtr Progress:

Strategic Land Use Planning activity in 2013/14 has focussed on the delivery of both the draft City Plan 2015 and the Southport Priority Development Area (PDA) Development Scheme for public consultation. The Southport PDA Development Scheme was publicly consulted in April-May 2014, with anticipated gazettal in September 2014. The draft City Plan 2015 was subject to the State Government’s Interest Review from late November 2013 to April 2014, with public consultation underway from 17 June – 29 July 2014. Anticipated gazettal is early 2015.

The Office of the City Architect has completed the Landscape Character Study Report which will inform the revision of Policy 12 Landscape Strategy, the Southport PDA Streetscape Design Guidelines, the Building Our City (Liveability Index) for the Light Rail Corridor, the maintenance of the Gold Coast Local Heritage Register, and the Heritage Open Days held at Mudgeeraba, Coolangatta, and Bundall.

Service Challenges for the Office of the City Architect Without appropriate funding and support for heritage matters there will be a loss of significant heritage places across the city – which will affect our city image, community identity and tourism. Without appropriate funding and support to instigate good urban design policy and outcomes, there will be poorly designed places across the city – which will affect our city image, liveability, economy and tourism.

Qtr Progress:

The Directorate review of the CIP was presented to Council on 26 May 2014, providing documented evidence of the economic benefits provided by the program and total number of new jobs created.The review conducted a SWOT analysis of the service, some of which is outlined below.StrengthsDiverse skill base; Outcome focus; Placemaking knowledge and expertise; Knowledge of retail business drivers; Stakeholder engagement

WeaknessesFinancial constraints of the model; reliance on internal service providers (ISP)- review of some work practices is underway

OpportunitiesActivity centres desperate for renewal; showcase projects; master planning centres better steers need for capital project interventions; tactical urbanism; marketing and promotion of achievements

ThreatsBrisbane City spends seven times more on streetscaping; consideration of social and economic needs are not being prioritised; sensation focussed media; not all stakeholders focussed on the same outcomes; flow of correct information to stakeholders is an issue; changes in political priorities

The review recommended changes to the way streetscape services are undertaken, proposing a move to Place Making Master Planning. It recommended the introduction of Tactical Urbanism for small low cost amenity improvements to centres. Proposals adopted by Council in City Budget 2014-15. The changes include name change to City Place Making.

Qtr Progress:

Work is almost complete on the development of a Road Safety Plan for the city. Completion is expected in Q1 of 14-15, with launch of the Plan proposed in early December 2014.The monitoring and maintenance of traffic signals continues to be on track and on budget. A number of externalities (primarily relating to interactions with the State Department of Transport & Main Roads) have meant that there have been minor changes to commitments inQ4 (13-14), but the vast majority of proposed budget commitments have been undertaken as originally proposed.The new traffic signals maintenance contract, including the maintenance of the new light rail corridor, was approved in May 2014. A key challenge are the traffic signals associated with the implementation of the light rail. These will be closely monitored to ensure optimisation of traffic operation across the network to avoid delays to the G:Link and minimise delays to general traffic.

Of the 12,511 complaints received and actioned by Animal Management in 2013/14, 3,941 were about noise from animals, 2,937 requests for impoundment and 1,213 wandering at large (other than request for impoundment). Animal management section intervention practices with respect to cats shall be adjusted with Council adopting a new position of not requiring the registration of cats for 2014/15. The removal of registration requirements is opportunity neutral and results in minor decreases in revenues and expenditures. Animal management's pounds continue to frequently be at capacity requiring the suboptimal practice of doubling up animals in pens. Demand for impounding facilities is anticipated to increase over time.

The Disaster Management Unit ensures that the City of Gold Coast is responsible for meeting its statutory obligations under the Disaster Management Act 2003 and for implementing Council's policy commitments with respect to disaster management. This includes: ensuring that the City is prepared for disasters through effective disaster planning and community education and awareness activities; maintaining the readiness of the City's Disaster Coordination Centre to respond to disaster events; and coordinating the City's recovery following disaster events.

During this current quarter, there were no disaster events which impacted the City; however the Disaster Management Unit continued to work with asset custodians to restore essential infrastructure damaged as a result of Tropical Cyclone Oswald in January 2013, under the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA). 6 community education and awareness activities and 12 disaster management training activities were delivered during the quarter to enhance community disaster resilience and the response capacity of Council and external agencies.

During the quarter the Unit's expense budget was revised upwards to reflect incoming NDRRA revenue for works-in-progress, which are due for completion under NDRRA by June 2015. A request will be made to Council to reprovide these budgets amounts in 2014-15 due to the on-going nature of the restoration works and their NDRRA grant funding source.

Sixteen additional cameras have been installed in Surfers Paradise, Southport, Broadbeach and Coolangatta, bringing the total number of monitored CCTV cameras to 181. The installation of remaining new cameras was delayed due to the extended period of construction associated with the light rail – these will be installed as soon as site access is permitted. $250,000 Federal Government funding was secured for at least seven new additional cameras to be installed in 2014-15. The Gold Coast Safety Camera Network also responded to 550 requests for CCTV footage from law enforcement agencies and the courts.The Mayoral Safer Suburbs Forum was launched in January 2014, with meetings held in February and April. Members considered 50 actions arising from the meetings, including: a new Memorandum of Understanding with Queensland Police Service (ratified June 2014), lighting for key entertainment precincts ($250,000 allocated in March 2014) and inter-agency regulatory patrols.Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) advice was provided to inform the planning and design of major projects (Chinatown, Cultural Precinct) and to address complaints about anti-social behaviour and crime in existing public spaces. A new community graffiti removal program commenced, with two volunteer groups proactively removing graffiti from a total of six neighbourhood parks. Federal Government funding of $146,200 was used to revise the City's graffiti prevention education modules for schools and complete new murals at Helensvale pedestrian tunnel and Arthur Earle Park, Nerang. Designs have also been finalised for murals at Abbott Park, Parkwood and Tallebudgera Reserve, due for installation in July 2014.

There are still areas for improving service levels and efficiency in the monitoring program and also in total water cycle planning (TWCM). The TWCM plan is due to be adopted in August and represents a great opportunity for the city to align and consolidate water management.

Loss of or reduced funding for healthy waterways membership will impact the City's ability to report on the health and safety of water environments to the community. This may also impact on ability to report against KPIs for water environments in the Corporate Plan.

The Conservation Partnerships Program (CPP) continues to implement schemes to conserve natural values on private land, mainly through Land for Wildlife and Voluntary Conservation Agreements. In addition, the Nature Conservation Assistance Program (NCAP) funded fifteen new restoration projects on private land. All schemes are on track. Land for Wildlife currently has 490 registered properties containing 3731 hectares of retained habitat and 527 hectares under restoration. The focus on property revisits has intensified to strengthen the interest of existing members. More than 100 revisits were carried out this year. Another important focus for Land for Wildlife has been the training of members in bushland restoration techniques. Eight restoration workshops were run during the year. Two regional property open days were held in May to showcase outstanding Gold Coast properties to the SEQ region. The current number of VCAs is 18 (including 10 Higher VCAs with statutory covenant) taking in a total area is 587 hectares across the City.

The EDS has been actively implemented since endorsement in late 2013 including the development and activation of key delivery plans such as the International Plan and Sports Plan. The Competitive Business program has resulted in over 522 facilitated referrals being provided to local businesses which related to relevant funding, grants or growth related support. The total value of the opportunities that the program has generated during 2013/14 to local high growth businesses was $13,409,269 with $6,940,430 value in pipeline opportunities, the city’s export outcomes generated as a result of the city’s Growth and Trade program totalled $21.2 million. This significant outcome is attributed to the team’s engagement with over 92 existing or new exporters in the city through the Growth and Trade program including the Emerging Exporters Program (including Export Assistance Scheme), TradeStart, International Trade and Investment Program. The delivery of the International Plan has included a range of outbound and inbound missions focussed on the top tier markets of China, Middle East and India which have resulted in direct investment into the city, identification of future significant events and the increase in export opportunities realised by Gold Coast companies through identified supply chain linkages. The city’s investment attraction program has attracted a total of four projects to the city, creating 272 jobs and $51 million in direct capital investment in 2013/14. The performance of the Gold Coast economy has been measured through the identified EDS targets. In summary, along with national trends the city's performance has been mixed. People are moving here, the economy is growing, business confidence and productivity are up while employment creation and exports remain stable. Employment creation needs to keep pace with population growth as this has a downward pressure on GRP per capita (or standard of living). Uplift in worker productivity has been the primary driver of economic growth throughout 2013. Aside from a lack of employment growth, one of the underlining issues for the Gold Coast labour market has been a drop in worker participation throughout 2012 and 2013. The Gold Coast is not alone with this trend, with both Queensland and national worker participation levels trending down. Given the seasonal nature of the Gold Coast, workforce participation is always quite volatile. However, early 2014 figures are showing a positive reversal in the city’s labour market with improvements in worker participation and employment. Even though the performance of the Gold Coast economy has been mixed, the business community is optimistic about the outlook for the local economy, with anticipated stronger performance in general business conditions and sales and revenue. The key challenges facing Gold Coast businesses are a lack of jobs and skilled labour and rising cost of living. The key opportunities identified by businesses over the next 5 years are the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games™, improvements in tourism, and new infrastructure development.

Council in partnership with Gold Coast Tourism completed the Gold Coast Destination Tourism Management Plan in June, which identifies key priorities for tourism for the city. An implementation plan for 2014-2015 was endorsed by Council in May 2014. A request for Information (RFI) for the Gold Coast dive attraction was received with favourable market interest and capability in developing the purpose built dive attraction. Council now is in a position to undertake a tender to design, fabricate and install the dive attraction, once funding is sourced. The feasibility studying into an iconic Surf Museum on a beach location is complete and has identified a preferred location. The results will be presented to Council in August 2014. A study into a permanent visitor information service centre at Wunburra lookout, Springbrook has been undertaken with the findings currently been finalised. In alignment with the Adventure Tourism and Sports objectives, an assessment of a location for the national BMX headquarters to be located on the Gold Coast was undertaken and will be presented to Council in October 2014 The GIS mapping to identify future mountain biking trails is complete and will inform Council’s future development of adventure trails, as outlined in the DTMP.

Gold Coast Tourism is currently on track to achieve its Service Delivery Key Performance Indicators with the following outcomes so far (Q4 results) •Over 15 domestic Marketing Campaigns executed •Over 21 International Marketing Campaigns •GCT’s focus on the digital reach in China has resulted in an increase of 10 fold in unique

visitors to the Chinese website.

The inaugural Opera on the Beach event was conducted from 8-11 May 2014, and several other Council supported major events were successfully staged (eg: Armor All 600, Swell Sculpture Festival, Pan Pacific Masters Games, Gold Coast Marathon and Blues on Broadbeach). During 2013/2014 financial year one new major event was secured which was the Australian Open Bowls which will be held from 2015 to 2019. Council has resolved and is in the process of finalising a number of other contracts to retain major events in the City for several years and potential new events are being assessed. Council played a major role in the planning and delivery of the Gold Coast Schoolies Community Safety Response Plan.

News and highlights:A major part of the waste facilities network rationalisation plan occurred during the last quarter of 2013-14. -The new Reedy Creek waste and recycling centre was completed and opened in March

2014. It includes a best practice community transfer station and a recycling drop off centre with recycled goods retail outlet, run currently to the Endeavour Foundation. -Helensvale waste and recycling centre upgrade was completed. -Miami, Tallebudgera and Tugun waste and recycling centres were closed once Reedy

Creek was commissioned. This contributes to saving the City about $20 million dollars over the next 10 years, without compromising availability. More than 99 percent of residents are still within 20 mins drive of a waste and recycling centre.

Service levels:Compliance with groundwater and water quality objectives: no penalties for non-compliance (-). 2012-13 (0), 2013-14 (0)Maintain adequate waste management capacity: maintaining same (more than 10 years). 2012-13 (>10yrs), 2013-14 (>10 yrs)Complaints relating to management of City operated waste management facilities: maintaining less than 0.5 complaints per 1000 households.Manage greenhouse gas emissions from City operated waste management facilities: emissions reduction in 2013-14 = 63,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.

Service challenges: -Long term management of landfill leachate still poses a significant financial burden. High

order treatment investigations are presently in progress. -Competition from private landfill operators for commercial and industrial wastes is resulting

in a decline in the City’s landfill gate fee revenue -Despite low levels of environmental complaints about landfills, regulatory requirements for

high order environmental protection are still required and are driving up operational costs.

Key challenges continue to include managing priorities and the peaks in workload; supporting a line of sight between strategic and operational planning and improving the timeliness of forward planning of activity across the business. A significant proportion of Branch work supports the organisation to meet core legislative requirements.

Advocacy and regional collaboration activities delivered through the Mayor's office, has included continued working with the State Government to identify and reduce cost shifting across a range of service delivery areas; developing communication protocols with the Commonwealth Games; engaging with and building community support in key policy areas such as senior transport benefits including free off peak travel; Boral Quarry, Broadwater Marine Project; community safety including crime reduction, wilful property damage including graffiti and successful application for partnership funding for increased cameras in key city precincts. Additional work has been undertaken negotiating with the State Government on the light rail extension, and other transport issues such as key arterials throughout the city and the City's Cultural Precinct development. Federal Government engagement has included meetings to discuss road infrastructure, communications, regional economic development, student visas and international university accreditation and an update on a number of City projects including FIFO and Digital Enterprise programs.

Advice requested on issues/matters was provided within reasonable and acceptable timeframes. Made all arrangements for re-registration and de-registration as per Queensland Transport requirements. On-going replacement of vehicles/plant/equipment is based on the approved condition monitoring and assessment methodology. Fleet have deferred a number of trucks for Construction Services while they review their requirements.Business challenges/riskA comprehensive branch restructure has been developed and approved in principle, however, implementation has been put on hold due to the current review of the Engineering Services Directorate. Once the review is completed, the restructure proposal will be realigned to any recommendations adopted for changes to Branch operations, and implemented. It is anticipated that the review and implementation of any recommendations will take approximately twelve months. The associated risk is staff retention due to uncertainty and business continuity.Acquisitions Challenges:The time associated with the Corporate review of the light vehicle fleet coupled with a close review of business requirements has meant a delay in the replacement of some vehicles and trucks to 14/15.

There was a 2% increase in overall satisfaction with the Customer service experience with the City in 2013-14.Total volume of customer interactions continues to increase with 2013-14 recording the highest volume of interactions across all channels. Telephone enquiries reduced for the last two quarters of 2013-14 by 10-12,000 telephone calls but remained higher overall than in 2012-13 due to the centralisation of Waste Management. The reduction can be attributed to the online self-service account balance functionality which was introduced in January 2014.Searches were 14% higher than in 2013, which can be seen as an indicator of people showing confidence in the City and purchasing property.Planning and Environment enquiries are up 30% on the previous year due to the Senior Travel initiative and increase in development and building applications.Maintenance services enquiries were 8% lower than the same period the previous year due to less storm activity (which generates significant peaks in service requests).Calls offered into the contact centre increased 18% in 2013-14 compared to the previous year as a whole due to the centralisation of City Development and Waste Management. Website traffic into the corporate website grew by 14% in 2014, with the top 5 pages remaining consistent across the year.
