726th Council Meeting 15 November 2016 7 Community Services Committee Meeting 3 November 2016 Adopted Report ITEM 2 (Continued) 2016-17 LOCAL AREA WORKS PROGRAM – ADDITIONS AND COMMUNITY FACILITY CONTRIBUTIONS FN334/375/02(P41) 8 FUNDING AND RESOURCING REQUIREMENTS Funds are available within the various Local Area Works allocations to carry out the works as indicated in the attachments within the 2016-17 financial year. In the case of the Local Area Works Program – Additions, details of the additional annual operational/maintenance costs, estimated new/upgrade and renewal costs and estimated useful life of the new assets created are shown in Attachment 1. The new/upgrade cost is the cost to create or upgrade the asset. The renewal cost is the cost to renew the asset in today’s dollars and includes disposal costs and design costs as required at the end of the asset’s estimated useful life. The works proposed in this report will be maintained and operated using WOC maintenance budgets unless otherwise specified. Budget submissions will therefore be lodged during future budget deliberations to cover maintenance and operational costs. These assets will be included in the relevant Asset Management Plans. Ongoing costs of community facility contributions are the responsibility of the organisation receiving the contribution. 9 RISK MANAGEMENT City Infrastructure’s risk in the terms of project development and delivery is mitigated by the risk management procedure 6-3 which is aligned with the Risk Management Standards AS/NZS 31000:2009. Community Services’ risk in the terms of project development and delivery is mitigated by undertaking risk assessments (including consequence and likelihood assessments and mitigation actions) as part of project planning and execution. Corporate Risk CO000431 - Non-compliance with State and Commonwealth Legislation leading to potential prosecution of the City and executive officer liability. City image now relates to grant making. Council’s diligent improvement of and adherence to its community grants policy will effectively mitigate this risk. 10 STATUTORY MATTERS Not Applicable. 11 COUNCIL POLICIES The policies applicable to the inclusion of Local Area Works projects listed for endorsement by Council is Local Area Works and Services Program Policy (iSpot #48181699) and the Community Grants Policy. 12 DELEGATIONS Not Applicable.

726th Council Meeting 15 November 2016 12 Community Services Committee Meeting 3 November 2016 Adopted Report ITEM 3 COMMUNITY SERVICES MUDGEERABA LIBRARY – PROPOSAL TO INTEGRATE WITH ROBINA LIBRARY CS105/221/ Refer 2 page attachments 1 BASIS FOR CONFIDENTIALITY Not Applicable. 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Not Applicable. 3 PURPOSE OF REPORT This report proposes integrating the Mudgeeraba Library service completely with nearby Robina Library. This will improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the Library network and free up additional public space for community groups and programs. 4 PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS Ex Minute CS04.0812.005: 1 That the opening hours at the new location for the Mudgeeraba Branch Library be:

• Monday to Friday 9am – 2:00pm

2 That the new opening hours for the Mudgeeraba Branch Library commence on relocation to the new premises.

3 That the public be notified of the changes through:

• Divisional Councillor’s newsletter; • public notice in the local paper; • community radio; • flyers and handouts at the Mudgeeraba Branch Library.

5 DISCUSSION

5.1 Mudgeeraba Library The Mudgeeraba Library has been operating out of the Old Post Office Heritage Centre (the Heritage Centre) in Railway Street Mudgeeraba since 2004. While the facility continues to offer a limited library service to a small customer group, it does not meet the contemporary standards for public libraries. In fact, the Mudgeeraba Library has long been considered as offering a legacy service and a strong candidate for merging with the larger, nearby Robina Library. Operating hours for the library are 9 am to 2 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 9 am to 4.30 pm on Wednesday, making for a total of only 27.5 hours per week. The Mudgeeraba Library is staffed by one officer sourced from the adjoining Robina Library on a rostered basis. A second officer drives from Robina Library each day to release the first staff member for a lunch break, which from a productivity and management point of view is quite an inefficient arrangement.

726th Council Meeting 15 November 2016 13 Community Services Committee Meeting 3 November 2016 Adopted Report ITEM 3 (Continued) MUDGEERABA LIBRARY – PROPOSAL TO INTEGRATE WITH ROBINA LIBRARY CS105/221/ Moreover, library use statistics for the Mudgeeraba Library reveal some interesting patterns. The annual visitor count for the 2015-16 financial year was 11,407 or an average of 46 visitors per day. Mudgeeraba Library currently has 1400 registered members, which is the far the lowest of any City library. A large number of these customers use other libraries for borrowing and programs. For example, in the first half of 2016, loyalty statistics show that of the 14,285 items lent from Mudgeeraba, 3143 of those loans were by residents who have Mudgeeraba as a home library location. These same residents also borrowed from Robina (3651 loans), Nerang and Broadbeach (488 loans each), Southport (470 loans) and Elanora (422 loans). Examining the figures for September only 73 customers borrowed exclusively from the Mudgeeraba Library. In contrast, the other 135 customers of the library regularly used other locations, and of these customers, 65 borrowed from two or more library locations. Taken together, these statistics suggest a majority of Mudgeeraba Library customers are not having their current borrowing needs adequately met by their home library. Of course, not all visitors to the Mudgeeraba Library borrow resources. Anecdotal evidence suggests that some customers use the space to read the paper or connect socially. Attachment 1 provides an overview of activity at the Mudgeeraba Library during 2015-16, together with a summary of the loans taken out at the library over the past five years. 2015-16 activity levels for the Robina Library are also included for comparison purposes. 5.2 Community Hirers and Tenants The Mudgeeraba Library takes up a prime position and the greatest amount of space (approximately 77.5 square metres) at the Heritage Centre (see Attachment 2 floor plan). Both the design of the library and valuable nature of its resources, means that this space cannot be used for other purposes outside of library operating hours. Full integration of the Mudgeeraba Library Service with the larger, nearby Robina Library, provides an opportunity to free up valuable area for community groups and programs at the Heritage Centre. The Heritage Centre currently plays host to two community card-playing groups, Children’s art classes, a sewing club, monthly church services and several other regular professional meetings and programs. The existing holder of the Deed of Licence for the licensed areas at the Heritage Centre is Gold Coast TechSpace Inc. Community based, Gold Coast TechSpace serves as a learning and pre-incubator hub for promoting technology skills and innovation on the Gold Coast. The Group caters for people of all ages and works closely with local schools and its programs align well with the City's Culture Strategy and Digital City initiatives. The community response to Gold Coast TechSpace’s workshops and programs has so far been extremely encouraging. The Group’s Wednesday meet-ups attract upward of 60 people, and its public programs are consistently oversubscribed. Even so, Gold Coast TechSpace’s programming remains constrained, due to space limitations existing at the Heritage Centre. 6 ALIGNMENT TO THE CORPORATE PLAN, CORPORATE STRATEGIES AND

OPERATIONAL PLAN 1.0 The best place to live and visit.

1.5 We are an active digital city. We are switched on and connected with the world.

$5,837 $1,327

Cleaning Telecommunication costs • City Libraries do not pay rent, electricity or security costs

The current annual Licence Fee paid by Gold Coast TechSpace, which expires on 30 June 2017, is $1,891.00 plus GST. People and Culture Robina Library is one of the City’s busiest library locations. Mudgeeraba draws on the Robina Library team with one staff member rostered to the facility for the first part of each day and a second staff member providing relief for lunch times. These handover arrangements result in lost productivity as staff travel to and from the library. These staff resources would be better utilised full-time within the Robina Library, where staffing levels have the potential to impact on service quality noticeably. 9 RISK MANAGEMENT Community Services intends meeting the library needs of residents in the Mudgeeraba area, and off-setting any social impacts that might result from the complete integration of Mudgeeraba Library with Robina Library, using a combination of delivery methods: • Promoting and encouraging patronage of nearby Robina Library • Providing home library services for people with mobility issues • Further developing the City’s online library services • Supporting the on-going development of the Heritage Centre as a community hub. • Following the Council’s endorsement of the proposal, a transition plan will be quickly

deployed to manage the integration process for staff and address the needs of the existing Mudgeeraba Library users.

Will oversee the external communications plan and manage media enquiries, in consultation with City Libraries.

City Libraries City Libraries will develop a transition plan to manage the operational changes, including the return of resources (e.g., collections and staffing).

15 TIMING Subject to Council’s approval, the Mudgeeraba Library will close, and fully integrate with Robina Library as of Wednesday, 25 January 2017. This will provide time to advise the community of the change address the needs of existing library users and develop better accommodation options for new and existing tenants/ hirers of space at the Heritage Centre. 16 CONCLUSION This report proposes integrating the Mudgeeraba Library service completely with the nearby Robina Library. In developing this proposal, City Libraries has taken into account the: relatively low level of use and service offering at the Mudgeeraba Library less than ideal staffing arrangements in place for the Mudgeeraba Library close proximity of the larger and more modern Robina Library shortage of community hire space in the Heritage Centre at Mudgeeraba.
