STAFF AWARDS Time to get nominating!

FROM OUR

GM

01 CRAIG SWIFT-MCNAIR .......................

First of all, I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to attend my first address as General Manager (which can also be viewed on the intranet). I’m stepping into the role at a critical time as Council embarks upon its biggest works program to date.

My objective is to see all of our projects successfully completed, delivered within the timeframes promised and on budget. For us as a Council to achieve such a monumental goal, we need to look at the way we work as individuals and as a team.

There is nothing more critical to our success than having all parts of our business working together to achieve outcomes for the community i.e. through communication, cooperation, collaboration and teamwork!

We need a committed, high performing and stable workforce that is well managed, efficient and effective. We need people who are skilled, flexible, engaged and resilient and who can work as part of a highly productive network.

We need to continue to invest in capability building across the organisation and encourage innovation in the way we go about our business. This will occur by working cross-functionally and by not being afraid to try new things.

Each of you plays an equally important role in making things happen for the community. For us to continue making things happen - $93.6 million capital works projects included - we need to stay focused and aim for excellence.

Some of you may have already undertaken the recent ‘Plain English’ training that took place... and well done!

Writing may appear an easy task, but there’s much ‘less’ to it than you think. Council places a great deal of importance on communication - not only on the type of messages we convey but the way we convey them.

As staff it’s important that to choose (and use) our words carefully, not only when we speak to customers and stakeholders but when we write to them as well. Vital messages are often lost when we use the wrong words or when we use the right words in the wrong way.

We need to move away from using words and phrases that our Council colleagues understand, but people outside of Council may not. We should opt for language that can be easily understood by someone regardless of their age or background.

This principle needs to apply to everything we produce as a Council for public consumption: from our emails, letters and brochures to larger Council reports and documents.

We have a duty of care to review what we write and to look at it from someone else’s perspective. If there is technical

jargon it either needs to be deleted or explained in full.

• Replace BIG (or long) words with small (or short ones) ones

• Take out unnecessary words (if the sentence still makes sense without it, it doesn’t need to be there)

Simplicity is the key! The benefits of using plain English should never be underestimated. It forms an important part of our commitment to

delivering excellent customer service as part of the implementation of our Customer Service Charter.

To help you start writing better ‘plain’ English, Council has adopted a style guide which also gives you examples of how to construct simpler sentences.

Council’s style guide provides:

• A point of reference on common grammatical and style issues and will help ensure that our written work is both consistent and professional.

• Tips and advice that we all need to follow to ensure that everything we write from a Council perspective is easily understood and that our key messages are neither misunderstood nor misconstrued.

We can all take steps to improve the way that we communicate with one another and with our external stakeholders. Please make use of the style guide and help Council set a new standard with its written correspondence.

Communicating in Plain English is

part of our commitment to the Customer

Experience Charter which aims to ensure we meet

the community’s needs.

03Move Eat Live Well ................ IT’S A WRAP

The Move Eat Live Well team Maya Spannari, Denise Juelicher and Kathy O’Neale recently celebrated the completion of Council’s Move Eat Live Well program - a community-based approach to increasing awareness around the importance of living well i.e. physical activity and healthy eating.

Thanks to funding received from the State and Federal governments, Council was able to deliver a range of exercise and healthy eating initiatives across the greater Port Macquarie region targeted at individuals most in need of these services.

Key target groups the program was aimed at included those unemployed or underemployed, carers, people with disabilities, Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people, older Australians and those at risk of chronic disease.

Reflecting on the team’s achievement rolling-out the Move Eat live Well program, Maya thanked the people both

within and outside of Council - who were involved in making it possible.

“We crossed the path of every section within Council and received lots of assistance and support by developing strong partnerships with external stakeholders,” Maya said.

“The program had three main components - the establishment of ‘The Lost Plot’ community garden; Aboriginal Move Eat Live Well and Move Eat Live Well - each of which offered many new health concepts including exercise and cooking classes to our target groups.”

Key outcomes for the program were:

... Establishment of a community garden on Central Road “The Lost Plot” 48 cooking classes

... Australia’s second seed-lending library service and library community garden

... Exercise lending scheme whereby people can hire fitness and gym equipment from the library

... Outdoor gyms at Town Beach, Jack Dwyer Reserve, Beach to Beach North Haven

... Construction of an outdoor kitchen and garden with the Birpai Land Council

... Development of walk trail maps with GIS, Tourism and Recreation and Building services

... Achieving beyond the targeted project outcomes by over 50% (eg: delivering 130 x 10 week exercise programs when funded for 48)

... Winner Quality Health Awards for Innovation 2014

... Nomination for IAP2 Core Award for community engagement

... Upcoming - Community kitchen concept is being developed through the Wauchope Neighbourhood Centre

Kathy O’Neale, Maya Spannari and Denis Juelicher

Council’s Move Eat Live Well program in partnership with Community Health (Losing it in the Bush program) won Overall Winner in the Partnerships category “Innovation” at the recent Mid North Coast Local Health District Awards.

Asset Management ................ DID YOU KNOW THAT PORT MACQUARIE-HASTINGS COUNCIL PROVIDES AND MANAGES A DIVERSE RANGE OF ASSETS TO THE VALUE OF $2.6 BILLION?

These assets come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, are located across the local government area, and have too many uses to count. They include roads, bridges, stormwater drainage, buildings, recreational facilities, water and sewer networks, plant and equipment, land and other assets such as heritage collections and library books.

Council is required to look after these assets on a day-to-day basis (maintenance and operation) and in the medium to long term (strategic management).

Since October 2013, TARDIIS and the Asset Management Team have been working together to develop Asset Management Plans for each of the following asset categories:-

• Roads • Parks & Reserves • Plant / Fleet • Flood & Foreshore • Bridges • Aquatic Facilities • Crematorium • Furniture & Fittings • Water • Waste Services • ICT • Artwork & Artefacts • Sewerage • Laboratory • Buildings • Airport • Stormwater • Glasshouse • Libraries • Public Halls

These asset management plans will not be a document sitting on a shelf. They will be regularly updated to reflect the acquisition

of new assets and the disposal of old assets, and to reflect updated condition assessment data as received. They will also allow Council to identify and develop agreed levels of service for each asset class.

Importantly, these asset management plans will inform and support Council’s strategic planning and decision making, by enabling Council to:

• Gain accurate information which informs the budget and capital works program

• Develop budgets based on asset condition

• Achieve best value for the replacement of assets, and

• Direct focus and expenditure towards proactive (instead of reactive) maintenance - increasing the life of the asset.

One of the major components in the development of these asset management plans is the capture of key asset data (financial values, physical attributes, and condition attributes) from across the organisation within one centralised CIVICA Authority database.

Rather than store key asset data unsystematically across the organisation in various hard drives, filing cabinets, folders and spreadsheets, Council’s CIVICA Authority database is being updated and refined by the Asset Management Team to enable this database to act as the “one source of truth” for all Council asset data. This is a major undertaking for the Asset Management team, and establishes the baseline data to support the individual asset management plans.

To date, substantial work has already commenced on developing asset management plans for the following categories: roads, bridges, water, sewerage, stormwater, laboratory, the Glasshouse and buildings however all asset categories will have fully developed asset management plans by the end of 2014.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT ................

If part of Council’s mission is to provide regional leadership in a way that enhances the area’s environmental, social and economic qualities... you could say two of its employees recently helped make this happen.

Water and Sewer Operations Engineer Terry Randall, recently won the award for Best Paper Overall at the 2014 Water Industry Operators Association of Australia (WIOA) Conference.

Not alone in this achievement, Terry’s colleague and water treatment plant Operator in Charge Danny Roberts also presented a paper and was awarded 3rd Place in the Best Paper category.

Council’s Water and Sewer section is a member of WIOA, whose purpose is to provide water operators with a forum

to share ideas and keep up with industry movements. Each year the annual WIOA conference is held somewhere in NSW and Port Macquarie-Hastings Council will normally send a number of operators/coordinators to attend.

For the last two years, staff from Port Macquarie-Hastings Council have been receiving industry recognition and last year the annual PASS award (Problem Accepted, Solution Supplied) was won by Port Macquarie-Hastings Council.

This year’s Conference was held in Orange NSW. Council’s Water and Sewer Operations Engineer, Terry Randall, presented his first-ever Conference paper and received the award for Best Paper Overall. In addition, Council’s water treatment plant Operator in Charge, Danny Roberts, also presented a paper and was awarded 3rd Place in the Best Paper category.

As a result of winning the Best Paper Overall award, Terry Randall will now be required to present his paper at the WIOA Victorian Conference, to be held in Bendigo from 2-5 September 2014.

ON THE HOME FRONT............. SMART WATER METERS ON TRIAL

Council is currently trialling new smart metering devices in the Port Macquarie CBD to monitor water usage by business. Approximately 150 individual services will now be metered electronically. The data from these meters will be sent to a repeater in the Glasshouse where the information will be decoded. The meters will record data at 15 minutes intervals and collated in a way so that reports can be customised to identify certain characteristics such as continual water

consumption, high usage, nil usage etc. To date the trial is proving worthwhile with a number of properties determined as having unusual usage trends. In some cases, continual water usage has been detected even after business hours. As a result, Council staff have been able to work with business owners to locate internal system leaks and draw attention to unusual water usage patterns. Provided the trial is deemed financially viable and the results reliable, the intention is for smart metering to be introduced for village water supplies. There is also potential to use this technology with other water supply customers on a needs basis. Feedback from business owners has been very positive.

07TASTINGS ON HASTINGS ..................... OFFICIAL LAUNCH Port Macquarie-Hastings’s Council has officially launched Tastings on Hastings for 2014 in the lead-up to the main event which takes place in Port Macquarie’s Town Centre on Sunday 26 October.

This much loved community event - which is attracting a bigger crowd each year - aims to celebrate farming, fresh produce, local beer and wine, chefs, restaurants and cafes of the Hastings region. For the first time this year we welcome the ‘Makers Market’ to the event which will showcase local artists and artisans.

“Our Story, Our Soul, Our Food” is the

2014 theme for Tastings on Hastings - which embraces the multicultural influences within our local community. The format for this year’s event will differ slightly from previous years with the introduction of venue ‘precincts’, for the convenience of patrons.

Celebrity chef Peter Kuruvita, most well known for his SBS television shows ‘My Sri Lanka’, ‘Island Feast’ and his latest series ‘Mexican Fiesta’ will be this year’s special guest. Peter will be hosting cooking demonstrations for those wanting to learn some of his flavoursome trade secrets.

A highlight of Tastings on Hastings will be a dinner with Peter Kuruvita from his own custom-designed menu using local produce. This will be held at the Fig Restaurant on Saturday 25 October. Only 150 tickets will be available at a cost of $95 each, these can be purchased at the restaurant from Wednesday 18 June.

Mayor Peter Besseling said Tastings on Hastings was not just one of the region’s premier events for locals, but also an opportunity for local providores to showcase their best and most beautiful produce and wares.

“Events like Tastings on Hastings help to shine a light on the greater Port Macquarie area and what bounty our region has to offer,” Cr Besseling said.

“There will a cornucopia of stalls lining the streets guaranteed to appeal to all tastes!”

To help ensure the event runs smoothly and offers patrons a fabulous, fun-filled and foodalicious experience we are currently looking for volunteers to join our Hastings Co-Op Volunteer Team to provide support for exhibitors and organisers.

The main event is on Sunday, October 26 from 9am at the Town

Green. This year we are thrilled to have internationally renowned, celebrity chef Peter Kuruvita on board who is as passionate about supporting local producers. “Our Story, Our Soul, Our Food” is the 2014 theme for Tastings on Hastings which embraces the multicultural influences within our local community.

Every volunteer will receive a Tastings On Hastings apron and hat as well as a letter from Mayor Peter Besseling.

A Day in the life ................ KEN STRONG

Council has many skilled staff in its midst, however as I was to find out, some employees have ‘hidden talents’ that come to life outside of business hours.

For those of you who don’t know, our in-house engineer, water and sewer planning manager Ken Strong, is also an accomplished and widely exhibited Australian artist.

Ken has been painting Australian landscapes for more than 20 years and his national and international profile has been steadily growing over this time.

Ken started as a student at the NSW University of Technology, Sydney in 1978 majoring in fine art and civil engineering.

His majored in specialist training in architectural drafting and technical presentation, achieving a degree in Civil Engineering in 1983.

Ken’s works are characterised by a bold application of paint, but also using a subtle approach to subject development in many cases.

“My approach is to combine the strength available in the oil medium with a bold form and subtle subject. A diverse landscape landscape provides the ideal flexibility to develop this approach towards creative composition,” Ken said.

Ken has held exhibitions at many Galleries both here and overseas, including Cooks Hills Gallery (Newcastle), Red Hill Art Gallery (Brisbane), Broadway Gallery (Washington DC), and in Halifax (Canada), Berlin and the Netherlands.

Ken’s current exhibition is at the Wentworth Galleries, Phillip Street Sydney, from 19 June 2014.

TRAVEL BLOG ................ GRACE CONNOR

Grace Connor, Senior Chemist and one of Council’s frequent flyers, recently returned from a sojourn in Spain, here’s what she had to say about her travels...

Having spent previous holidays in Western Europe, New Zealand and Japan,

I can’t say Spain was my favourite. On a positive note it has a strong Arab Islamic as well as Christian (Catholic) and Jewish heritage so we experienced a mix of culture from all influences and it ticked off some bucket list items.

The architecture is different to other places we (hubby and I) had visited like the Albrahama (the Islamic palace and fortress in Granada) and the Mezquita (Mosque) in Cordoba. The Mosque is regarded as one of the most accomplished monuments of Moorish architecture. Since the early 2000s, Spanish Muslims have lobbied the Roman Catholic Church to allow them to pray in the cathedral as it is both a Cathedral and a Mosque.

Our favourite place was Ronda where the Puente Nuevo (“New Bridge”), spans the canyon 120 metres above the canyon floor. It’s the newest bridge in the city however the building of this bridge commenced in 1751 and took until 1793 to complete! It’s really something to behold and helps you to understand how old the city and surrounding towns are. We also visited smaller less touristy villages like Carmona which was really lovely and gave us a great insight into traditional village life.

Our ‘thing’ is definitely food and culture. We’re usually exhausted at the end of each day from walking and sightseeing and we had some interesting food experiences this trip. The Spanish do a three course

11

lunch for around $12 but it can be a bit hit-and-miss, especially if the menu is in Spanish and the restaurateur doesn’t speak English (we tried to stay away from the touristy overpriced places).

Our first try at this was in Cordova, the hostel owner had managed to indicate via signing that we should go two blocks down the road and into “Measons”. This ended up being a nondescript door in an alley way which was to a restaurant in the middle of a building courtyard. We ordered the cold tomato soup, butter sautéed swordfish with capsicum and cabbage and let them decide on dessert. It was fun and tasted fantastic. You also couldn’t beat having evening drinks and tapas (for free if you know where to go), while sitting in a bar under 50+ ham shoulders that are curing above your head.

Some of the highlights of Spain included watching a gentleman make a traditional parquetry photo frame that we then purchased from him, and I found a nice pair of damascene earrings in a local jeweller. We try to buy things we have seen being made so we know they are not produced somewhere else and sold as local items. There were lots of markets selling a lot of kitsch items which we picked up for our nieces - a puzzle box made out of balsa wood had them going for a while trying to get into it.

My travel tip: always learn a bit of the language - especially hello, please and thank you. Learning the different types of food in their language also helps, although ordering some ‘pollo’ (chicken) backfired on us when we worked out from taste/texture that it was fried chicken livers! We self drove, so doing a bit of research of different places you would like to see before you go is definitely a good idea. We went off the main roads to see a few spectacular places like Ronda and Carmona.

My next trip: we’d like to hike the Inca Trail next - I think it would be a bit of a challenge and an unforgettable experience.
