Moreton Bay Regional Council SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING - 346 PAGE 16/960 3 June 2016 Minutes 3.1. Budget Speeches (Cont’d)


Mayor - Cr Allan Sutherland “Today I present the 2016/17 budget for Moreton Bay Regional Council. It is a budget that sets out a strong economic plan for the future of our great region. There is no secret that our region is big. We are big, we are bold and we are getting even bigger. Moreton Bay is one of the fastest growing regions in Australia. The growth in our population is already outstripping the rest of South-East Queensland - at a rate twice that of the state average. Each year - more than 10,000 new homes are built right here in our region. As the third largest council in Australia - we are a region hungry for infrastructure. To sit on our hands and wait for the other levels of government to deliver - is simply not an option for any of us that sit around this table. I have said this before and I will say it again - as a council we must plan and deliver the projects that will act as a catalyst for further State and Federal government funding. These are projects like the Moreton Bay Rail and the University Precinct. It is these very projects that will continue to stimulate our region’s growing economy, create thousands of jobs and guide our ongoing growth and development. Strongest growing economy in Queensland Our region has already been able to achieve some incredible results. We are the strongest and fastest growing economy in Queensland. Last year - more than 12,300 jobs were created in this region. That’s more jobs created in this region than the Greater Brisbane and Gold Coast regions. But we can’t stop there. This council must keep a steady hand on the wheel to keep our region on the right track. Strong financial plan The 2016/17 budget - sets out a strong economic plan for our region’s future. We have delivered a balanced budget with low borrowings and our sixth consecutive operating surplus. It is a lean budget, but is also a budget with heart. In this budget, we will continue to deliver on our commitment to the thousands of pensioners in our region. More than 15,300 eligible pensioners will continue to receive a $250 rebate from council on their total rates and charges in 2016/17. At a cost of more than $3.7 million - this is a vital discount for many of our region’s pensioners. We have also worked to find efficiencies and savings for our ratepayers. It is this experienced financial management that has helped this council maintain its position as one of the fastest, strongest, and most financially stable councils in Queensland. This is a much sought-after rating given by the Queensland Treasury Corporation.



Building our region This budget delivers a $536 million investment in our growing region. It is a budget that delivers the essential infrastructure of local government. It features more than $170 million in major capital works. A number of major road and transport upgrades will be delivered across the region - with $91 million allocated in the budget. Healthy and active region Sport and recreation is another big winner in this budget. In the 2016/17 budget you will see new spending on:

• $1 million grandstand at Lawnton swimming pool • a new AFL facility at the Nathan Road sports complex in Rothwell for the mighty Redcliffe Tigers • construction of a new soccer clubhouse at Samford Parklands • $1.25 million for a new learn to swim pool at Ferny Hills • development of a new soccer precinct at Burpengary’s Moreton Bay Central Sports Complex • new shared sports clubhouses in South Pine Sports Complex and Kinsellas Road Sporting Fields • baseball fields in Bunya; and • an upgrade of our premier equestrian facilities in Caboolture.

With hundreds of Aussie athletes on their way to the Rio Olympics - including some from our region - there can be no better time to invest in a healthy and active lifestyle for our community. Fostering arts, culture and community Council will continue to provide support to a number of sporting and community groups with $1.24 million available in community grants. This budget will help to foster a growing arts and culture in our region. It features support for the Samford Commons project and their federal funding application, and also construction of a new art gallery at Dayboro to replace the existing building - which is helping to grow the cultural heart of our region. Attracting tourism and investment With around 2.9 million visitors to our region every year - it has never been more important for council to turn its focus to tourism, events and economic development. In this budget we are commencing a new partnership with Moreton Bay Region Industry and Tourism (MBRIT) through a three-year service level agreement with the organisation. Already we are seeing the fruits of this new partnership - with MBRIT already creating new tourism products like the “Welcoming the Whales” event in Redcliffe. Later this month MBRIT will join forces with whale watching operators to kick-off the start of the local whale watching season in Moreton Bay. This is just one example of how MBRIT is already fostering new collaborations with our local business community.



In this budget, we are also throwing our weight behind two hugely successful tourism ventures: the Abbey Museum and Woodford Folk Festival. Following the continued success of the Abbey Medieval Festival - council will commit $100,000 towards a feasibility study for the Medieval Life Experience. This project aims to create a living museum - so visitors can experience what it might be like to wander through the set of Game of Thrones with blacksmiths, Lords and Ladies, and villagers going about their daily life. Council has also shown our support for the Queensland Folk Federation in their application for federal funding to redevelop the natural amphitheatre at Woodfordia to include a permanent stage. Their plans also include additional toilets and lighting for festival-goers and other vital infrastructure to manage ongoing growth in attendance numbers at that facility. works University Project This is a budget that delivers a bright future for our region. At the very heart of that plan - is the Moreton Bay Region University Precinct. At its core - this project features a major new university campus being delivered by the University of the Sunshine Coast. By 2020, the Moreton Bay Region University Precinct is expected to deliver thousands of local study and job opportunities for the people of our region. This project has strong support from our community. As part of council’s recent region-wide survey on the project - thousands of people have visited council’s website to date. More than 90 per cent of those people responded “yes” - when asked if they support a new university campus project. I will repeat that number again - more than 90 percent of our community have indicated their supportive of the university project. Recently I sat down with the Vice Chancellor of the University of the Sunshine Coast and principals and deputy principals from across the region. They came from Bribie Island State High School, Pine Rivers State High School, St Columban’s College and Tullawong State High School - to name just but a few. They spoke to me about their experiences with their own students who lacked the opportunities to get to a university - and their support for this project. I can assure you - our local school community is right behind this project. But to make this project a reality - we need federal funding. We are in the midst of a Federal Election campaign. This is a time for our community to stop and reflect on the vision the major parties have for our region. Is their vision for a carpark on the highway or a self-sustainable region? This isn’t a Federal Election of our choosing. It’s a Federal Election called by the Prime Minister himself. With this in mind - it’s high time the Federal Government stepped up to the plate and assisted council in funding the Moreton Bay Region University Precinct. Why? Because - the voters in our federal seats of Longman, Dickson and Petrie are crying out for this precinct!



Almost everyday traffic is at a standstill on the Bruce Highway, the Gateway Motorway and many other major local roads. Many of those cars are students caught in a log jam attempting to get to universities far and wide. The higher education rate in our region is half the national average. So the time for pleasantries is over. The major parties must act now. We need federal government funding to deliver the essential infrastructure and foundations for this university campus. Today I will be issuing a plea to Malcolm Turnbull and Bill Shorten. To the leaders of the major parties - I say this: whichever leader adequately responds to council’s plea - will no doubt have community support at this Federal Election. If either party are to be taken seriously - when they talk about innovation - they must fund education in this region first. You cannot have an innovation nation - without an education nation. There is no way the kids in my region can prepare for the jobs of the future - and compete with other regions - when they have a participation rate of half the national average in tertiary education That is why council must receive federal funding for the Moreton Bay Region University Precinct. Conclusion In conclusion, I thank you for joining us today for the presentation of the 2016/17 budget. Council has delivered a strong and sustainable budget for our region’s future. I thank my fellow Councillors for the hard work they have put into preparing this budget - I warned that at the beginning of the term it would be a long slog. I would also like to acknowledge our team of hardworking council staff. I start with council’s CEO Daryl Hitzman. Thank you Daryl and your team. I would also like to recognise Keith Pattinson, Denis Crowe, Jason Linsdell and the finance team for preparing the modelling for this year’s budget. Thanks also to the Communications team. Thank you to Tony Martini and his team for their efforts preparing the ground work for the capital programs which was a massive undertaking. I know you have spent much time sitting down with our Councillors talking to them about the projects they would like to see realised in their divisions. I thank you for that. To my fellow Councillors, I thank you for the leadership and determination you have shown in delivering a strong budget. This will be council’s six consecutive operating surplus - a result that you can all be proud of. I would now like to invite Cr Adrian Raedel to outline some of the key financial aspects of the budget.”



Cr Adrian Raedel (Spokesperson for Corporate Services) “Thank you Mr Mayor, It is an honour to present the first budget of this new Moreton Bay Regional Council for 2016/17 Just as we have for the last two budgets - which have seen us ranked by the Australian Local Government Association as the strongest economy in Queensland -this is another strong, responsible and sustainable budget that provides for the needs of our community, also having the vision to prepare for the future needs of the Moreton Bay Region. We are one of Australia’s fastest growing urban areas - with a population bigger than the ACT and almost double the size of Hobart - and in the coming years - we’ll have as many people in the Moreton Bay Region as they have in the whole of Tasmania. There has never been a more important time to focus on sustainable growth - and I’m proud to say that supporting measured and sustainable growth is the key focus of this budget. While key aspects of the 2016-17 budget focus on the delivery of major, region-building infrastructure that paves the way for sustainable growth and economic prosperity in the Moreton Bay Region, council has also worked hard to deliver a budget that achieves the day to day service and infrastructure needs of our community, while keeping rates affordable, maintaining an operating surplus and keeping debt and borrowings low. Mr Mayor, I also note the Moreton Bay Region University Project is strongly supported in this budget - demonstrating council’s commitment to plan and deliver a bright future for the people of this region. That bright future will not only include world-class education and training opportunities, but thousands of job opportunities. This is an investment in the future of our region, the South East Queensland and the whole of Queensland and I would encourage State and Federal members to make the same commitment in their budgets as Moreton Bay Regional Council has, in funding this amazing opportunity for future generations of our young people. Our budget, Mr Mayor acknowledges that many people in our region are struggling with genuine cost-of-living pressures and we have worked hard as a council to deliver as low a rate increase as possible. This demonstrates our commitment to keeping the cost of living in the Moreton Bay Region as low as possible, while also maintaining our strong and stable economy. We, as a council, have worked hard to achieve the right balance in this budget of being conservative when it comes to rate increases and charges, whilst also providing for the significant infrastructure projects that this region needs to create education and employment opportunities for the current and future people of this region. This budget ensures we are delivering the standard of roads, waste services, sport and recreation facilities, stormwater infrastructure and community programs and facilities that our local people expect from a strong and sustainable council. The average increase in total rates and charges for residents who live in their own home is 2.98 percent or just 72 cents per week. Forty-four percent of residential owner occupiers across the regions will pay less than an additional $1 per week. A further 44 percent of residential owner occupiers will pay between $1 to $2 more per week. As mentioned, more than 15,300 eligible pensioners in the Moreton Bay Region will continue to receive a rates discount of $250 a year.



There is no change to our rural waste or our kerbside bin pick up charges, just as there was no change last year, nor for the two years before that. The regional infrastructure separate charge has increased by $16 to $68. This charge pays for important work to enhance and rehabilitate transport and stormwater and other infrastructure that benefits the entire region. There has been no change to the canal Levy for Pacific Harbour. The charge for the Bribie Gardens Levy will increase from $490 to $538, while the charge for Newport will increase from $864 to $950. Moreton Bay Regional Council’s $536 million budget for 2016/17 includes a planned operating surplus of $60 million. As you heard earlier, this is council’s sixth consecutive operating surplus and the result of strong economic management over many years. The true benefit of this operating surplus to our community is that council has $60 million dollars to reinvest in community infrastructure that we would otherwise have to borrow the funds for. In fact, our long-term financial forecast is also very bright - with council expected to achieve an operating surplus every year for the next ten years. This is a strong indicator of long-term economic sustainability. Furthermore, council’s anticipated total debt borrowings as at 30 June 2017 is just $387 million. Offset against council’s assets of $5.8 billion, our borrowings are equivalent to a modest $26,600 family mortgage on a $400,000 home. I’m sure you’ll agree, we are in a strong financial position. Taking into account population growth, council’s debt per capita will decrease from $925 to $913 by June 2017. Loans borrowed will amount to $21.63 million, exceeded by expected loan repayment of $24.865 million. These are examples of a council living within its means. Council’s 2016/17 budget includes a $173.8 million capital works program with an investment of more than $91 million for major upgrades to our region’s local road and transport network. This includes $3.2 million for upgrades to the intersection of Kremzow and Leitchs road at Brendale, $3 million towards the two -year project to upgrade the intersection of Old Gympie and Boundary Roads at Dakabin, $1.7 million for intersection improvements at Victoria Avenue and King Street at Woody Point, $3.5 million for improvements to sections of Burpengary Road and $2.2 million for improvements to Patricks Road at Arana Hills. As you have heard in the Mayor’s speech, sport and recreation is also a big winner in this budget, with more than $26 million dollars allocated to sport and recreation facilities and programs across the region. More than $6 million is allocated for a major upgrade to Caboolture’s Queensland State Equestrian Centre - ensuring the facility can continue to cater to world-class equestrian events. To help keep our community healthy and active, we also have:

• $3 million towards development of new AFL facilities at the Nathan Road Sports Complex in Kippa-Ring;

• $1.8 million for the construction of a new soccer clubhouse at Samford Parklands; • $1.2 million for a new heated learn-to-swim pool at the Ferny Hills Swimming Pool;

• $2.5 million towards a soccer precinct at the Moreton Bay Central Sports Complex at Burpengary; and

• $2.8 million for a new clubhouse and car parking facilities at the Kinsellas Road Sports Complex in North Lakes.



No doubt the upcoming RIO Olympics will inspire many from our region into our great sports facilities. Other highlights of the 2016/17 budget include more than $9 million dollars towards our region’s stormwater infrastructure and more than $5 million towards caring for our waterways and coastal facilities. Council will also invest more than $7 million in our local parks and more than $3 million into our region’s community facilities and libraries. Mr Mayor, as well as accommodating for growth and planning for the future, this budget is firmly geared towards promoting and protecting what we all love about living in the Moreton Bay Region - the unique natural environment and lifestyle it provides. Mr Mayor, council has worked hard to achieve the delicate balance between keeping rates and charges low in the face of rising cost-of-living pressures, while delivering region-building and job-creating infrastructure projects that cater to the rapid growth of our region and ensure a bright future for our community. I want to thank all of the councillors for their commitment to delivering a strong and sustainable budget that caters for the diverse needs of our large community. I want to make special mention of our five new councillors who were thrust into budget discussions immediately after taking up office. And many around the table will say budget negotiations are lively and robust. They are challenging for the most experienced of us regardless of how long you have been here and the experience you have. Going into budget deliberations as one of your first duties as a new councillor is certainly not an easy task. You should be proud of what you have achieved for the people in your divisions and for the people of the entire Moreton Bay Region. Thank you also from my point of view, to the council staff who have tirelessly dedicated the past few months to preparing this budget, and to the CEO and directors who have assisted councillors to deliver this strong, balanced and economically responsible budget. This is a budget that provides for the needs of our community whilst creating projects that will cater to the future needs of the Moreton Bay Region. This is a budget geared towards ensuring the current and future residents of this region have a bright future to look forward to. Most importantly, it is a budget that strives to deliver these outcomes in a responsible way that protects and enhances our region’s strong and sustainable economy. “

Residential Units

Category Description U1O Units 1 – Owner occupied

A single residential building unit which is part of a community titles scheme where: (a) the building unit is used by the property owner or at least one of the property owners as

their principal place of residence; and (b) the rateable value of the land per square metre of the physical land parcel on which the

3.10 Consultation / Communication Chief Executive Officer, Manager Financial and Project Services



3.4. Conclusion Mr Daryl Hitzman (Chief Executive Officer), at the invitation of the Mayor, took the opportunity to point out that one of the most debated matters at the annual Local Government Association of Queensland’s conference was around the timing of when local government elections are held. A variety of motions have been put to the Association over the last 10-20 years seeking legislation changes to conduct local government elections in October, rather than in March. The driver of these motions is around how difficult it is for Councillors elected in March, having to go straight into the process of putting together the Council’s budget which is an extremely intense process requiring a lot of time and energy. However, the Chief Executive Officer commended the Council for the way in which they applied themselves - with energy, drive, passion, intellect and heart. The budget process had involved much robust and hard discussion with many matters being questioned - which was necessary as it was a budget for the community.
