02) INTEGRATED PLANNING & REPORTING 2017/2018 (FM.PL.1)

(Raelene Mulligan)

RECOMMENDATION:

1. That Council endorses the draft:

a. Operational Plan 2017 – 2018 – Parts 1 & 2

b. Long Term Financial Plan 2017/2018 – 2026/2027

To be placed on public display for a period of 28 days.

REPORT In accordance with the legislative requirements for Integrated Planning and

Reporting, the Long Term Financial plan has been reviewed and updated by staff

and, together with the 2016/2017 Operational Plan – Part 1 & 2 (incorporating the

2017/2018 budget) are now presented in draft for Council’s consideration prior to

being placed on public exhibition.

It is estimated that 2016/2017 will result in an operating surplus of $146,486 and an

overall cash budget surplus of $817,340.

The 2017/2018 Operational Plan estimates an operating surplus of $172,389, after

providing for depreciation and amortisation expense of $1,880,950, with an overall

surplus of $506,191 anticipated.

Council resolved in 2006/2007 to effect an annual increase of 8% on the

consumption tariff in order to self-fund an extensive capital works program ($52.84

million in 2010 $ terms) over 30 years without the need for loan borrowings or

government subsidies. In 2014/2015, Council resolved to end the annual increase of

8% in the consumption tariff in favour of a reduced annual increase of 5%. On review

of Council’s long term financial plan and in order to self-fund a 30 year capital works

program, an annual price increase of 8% on consumption charges has been applied.

Availability charges are recommended not to increase and to remain at $200.00 for a

standard 20mm service. The planned increase of 8% on the consumption tariff will

see the cost per kilolitre rise from $2.55 to $2.75. Without an increase in the

availability charge, the overall increase for an average residential bill using 191kL

over 12 months will be $38.20.

Management has also reviewed Council’s Long Term Financial Plan (10 years) and

has provided Council with three scenarios. The scenarios include the base budget as

presented, along with scenarios containing two very wet years reducing Council’s

income from water sales, and the repayment of CTW’s fixed term loan fom cash

reserves. Commentary based on these scenarios has been included with the Long

Term Financial Plan.

In 2017/2018, Council’s Section 64 Developer Charge will increase from $8,850 per

ET (equivalent tenement) to $8,980 per ET in accordance with the adopted 2012



Developer Servicing Plan. The Capital Contribution for in-fill blocks will increase from

$4,110 per ET to $4,170 per ET.

The following capital works are planned in 2017/2018:

Plant & Vehicle Replacements (Net cost) $106,000

Provision for Pump Replacements $46,350

Administration Building – Outdoor painting $10,000

Trunk Main ‘K’ – Relocation $4,639,430

Joint CTW & Orange City Council Pipeline Project $1,887,274

Development of Asset Management software $80,000

Purchase of computer hardware $20,000

Rural Scheme Replacement $18,810

Wallaby Pipeline $35,000

Council has a dedicated focus on consumer expectations and, through its pricing

policy, consumers are receiving a water supply of high quality and reliability and this

is wholly attributable to the pricing policy being able to fund an ongoing program of

infrastructure renewal and upgrade.

Fees and Charges for 2017/2018 are detailed in the attached Operational Plan – Part 2. BUDGET IMPLICATIONS Nil POLICY IMPLICATIONS Nil ATTACHMENTS Nil



03) DEPARTMENT OF PRIMARY INDUSTRIES WATER - LACHLAN ALLUVIUM WATER RESOURCE PLAN (GR.LR.2)

(Gavin Rhodes)

RECOMMENDATION:

1. That Council note the report. REPORT

In consultation with the Chairman and Senior Management, a submission on the

Lachlan Alluvium Water Resource Plan (GW10) – Status and Issues Paper was

developed and submitted to DPI Water on 30 March 2017.

As CTW currently has various groundwater bores which supplement CTW’s major

water source Lake Rowlands for the purpose of town water supply, the submission

focussed on the issues relating to the Lachlan catchment, Lachlan Alluvium, local

water utilities (LWUs) entitlements and water quality.

In summary, CTW’s submission requested that, the Lachlan Alluvium Water

Resource Plan continued with LWUs having the highest priority to accessing water;

investigating further the criticality of water security by ensuring sufficient water is set

aside in storages to provide supply; equal representation of stakeholders

engagement (including local government representation); and that water quality and

protection of drinking water catchment areas continues to be of high importance.

04) RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES POLICY (CM.PO.1)

(Gavin Rhodes)

RECOMMENDATION:

1. That Council adopt the Draft Related Party Disclosures Policy and place on public

display for a period of 28 days with a view to adoption at the June 2017 meeting

of Council.

REPORT

The Office of Local Government (OLG) has advised tht the Australian Accounting

Standards Board (AASB) has determined that, from 1 July 2016, AASB 124 related

party disclosures will apply to government entities, including local government.

In Council’s Annual Financial Statements for 2016-17, council must disclose related

party relationships, transactions and outstanding balances, including commitments.

The purpose of the Policy is to define the parameters for Related Party Transactions

and the level of disclosure and reporting required for Council to achieve compliance

with AASB 124.

It is appropriate that this policy be adopted to demonstrate Council’s commitment to

transparency in its financial dealings and compliance with relevant Accounting

Standards.

A copy of the Draft Policy is attached to this report for Councillors information and

consideration.

05) WATER REFILLING STATION AT REDMOND OVAL, MILLTHORPE (EM.PR.1)

(Gavin Rhodes)

RECOMMENDATION:

1. For Council’s consideration and determination.

REPORT The General Manager has received a request from Blayney Shire Council, seeking

Council’s interest in a “partnering” arrangement towards a new stainless steel water

refilling station to be installed at the recently redeveloped Redmond Oval in

Millthorpe.

Blayney Shire Council has advised that the water refilling station would encourage

visitors and locals to refill their reusable water bottles, rather than having plastic

water bottles littering the town and increasing landfill.

In 2010, CTW instigated by the General Manager at the time, Mr Tony Perry,

resolved to become a member of the Bottled Water Alliance and adopt a policy of

promoting the advantages of drinking clean safe tap water against the disadvantages

and environmental damage with the use of bottled water. As a result, CTW

partnered with Blayney Shire Council and Cabonne Council and have installed four

water bottle refilling stations throughout both shire areas over the past 4 years. From

all reports these refilling stations have been well received and utilised by the public.

A water refilling station was originally installed at Redmond Oval, however, it has

been out of service for quite some time due to storm damage and the General

Manager has been advised by Blayney Shire Council that it is irreparable. This

model of refilling station was manufactured using plastic components whereas the

stainless steel water refilling stations available today are more durable and are more

resistant to the elements.

It is estimated by Blayney Shire Council that the new stainless steel water refilling

station would cost approximately $6,000.00. Therefore, if Council were to agree to a

50/50 partnering arrangement, Council’s contribution would be $3,000.

As per previous water refilling station agreements with Council’s constituent councils,

Blayney Shire Council would be responsible for the ongoing maintenance and

operational costs of the refilling station.

A copy of the Blayney Shire Council email seeking Council’s interest in partnering in

a new stainless steel water refilling station at Redmond Oval in Millthorpe is attached

for Councillors information.

06) HENRY LAWSON FESTIVAL GRENFELL (CR.SD.1)

(Gavin Rhodes)

RECOMMENDATION:

REPORT The Arts and Events Officer, Ms Claire McCann from Weddin Shire Council has

written to Council seeking support by way of sponsorship for the 2017 Henry Lawson

Festival at Grenfell, which is held annually for five days over the June Long

Weekend.

Council donated $250 towards the Henry Lawson Festival in 2016.

The General Manager advises that a sponsorship contribution of $250.00 can be

accommodated within Councils current vote for donations and contributions.

A copy of the sponsorship request is provided as an attachment to this report.

08) WBC ALLIANCE REPORT (CM.AG.6)

(Gavin Rhodes)

RECOMMENDATION:

1. That Council note the WBC Alliance report and associated minutes of the WBC

Alliance Board meeting held 27 February 2017 endorsing the following

recommendations:

That the position of Executive Manager is not required beyond 30 June

2017 as the role has achieved the objectives of the WBC Alliance;

In accordance with the resolution passed on 22 June 2016, the

negotiated redundancy costs be shared 50:50 between Cabonne and

Blayney Shire Councils;

That the Executive Manager be formally recognised for the outstanding

contribution to the success of the WBC Alliance for the past 9 years;

That Central Tablelands Water reaffirms its commitment to the ongoing

value of the WBC Alliance, and

That the WBC Alliance Board investigate the advancement of a rural

Councils’ alliance.

REPORT

The WBC Alliance Board met on 27 February at the Blayney Shire Community

Centre to discuss the future of the Alliance. The minutes are attached to this report

with recommendations for endorsement by Council.

The Board reflected on the significant outcomes achieved during the past 14 years of

operation but acknowledged that the future of the current arrangement needed

consideration, as identified in 2011 and 2012 with the various reports and studies;

the savings made and levels of collaboration had plateaued to a point where the next

stage was potentially a shared services model. This potential model or any specific

direction was put on hold pending Destination 2036 in Dubbo and the review of local

government in NSW by the Independent Review Panel, which was established in

2013.

In 2015, Wellington Council withdrew from the Alliance due to the pending merger

with Dubbo City Council. Since then Central Tablelands Water (CTW) have moved

from an affiliate membership to a full membership, contributing the additional

membership fees to meet the shortfall from the withdrawal of Wellington Council.

Due to the potential merger situation in our region over the last 18 months the

Alliance had not been operating in a formal collaborative sense as it had done

previously, as each of the Councils had competing demands. The focus of the work

for the WBC Executive Manager during this time has been to provide support to the

individual councils across a range of activities and functions.



The Board discussed the future options and models for the Alliance including the

opportunity and importance to engage with potential new partners to maintain a focus

on strengthening connections with similar rural councils in the region. Whilst CTW

remain supportive, the value from the Alliance in the future was reviewed and

considered.

However, the Board determined that, whilst the model that had been in place from

2003 had been very valuable, this was not the model for the future. Accordingly, the

Board has determined that the position of Executive Manager is not required beyond

30 June 2017 because the role has achieved the objectives of the WBC Alliance.

It was recognised that whilst this decision was a new direction, it was the start of a

new strategy and each member council reaffirmed their commitment to the ongoing

value of the Alliance. Due to the positive benefits of continued collaboration and

networking, it was resolved that the WBC Board investigate the advancement of a

rural Councils' Alliance.

In accordance with the resolution passed on 22 June 2016, the Board noted that the

negotiated redundancy costs should be shared 50:50 between Cabonne and Blayney

Shire Councils as CTW was only an affiliate member until 2015.

The Executive Manager, Mrs Donna Galvin is to be formally recognised for her

outstanding contribution to the success of the Alliance over the past 9 years.

BUDGET IMPLICATIONS Council allocates $50K per annum for the WBC Alliance, and this expense will be a

saving in the 2017/18 Operational Plan.

09) CARCOAR VILLAGE ASSOCIATION - CARCOAR RESERVOIR (PM.US.1)

(Gavin Rhodes)

RECOMMENDATION:

1. That Council provide support in principle to the Carcoar Village Association to

have an artistic mural painted on Council’s water reservoir at Carcoar, subject to

consultation with Council on the final design and further canvassing of community

opinion by the Association.

REPORT Council has received correspondence from the Carcoar Village Association seeking

support in principle to have an artistic mural painted on Council’s water reservoir at

Carcoar.

According to Mr Todd Hahn from the Carcoar Village Association, “the mural would

be a real feature on the landscape with the potential to attract visitors off the highway

as well as providing a focal point for the old coach road travelling along Brady Road

and Mandurama Street. With this in mind it has been suggested that the artwork

could depict 'The Wild Ride' with a Cobb and Co Coach and horses.”

The General Manager has discussed this request with the Director Operations &

Technical Services and both agree that this request can only enhance the

appearance of the reservoir and the landscape of the village.

Blayney Shire Council have advised the General Manager that a development

application is not required for the mural, however, some wider canvassing of

community opinion was recommended prior to instigation of the project.

A copy of the Carcoar Village Association’s correspondence is attached to this report.

10) TRUNK MAIN K RENEWAL – PROGRESS REPORT (WS.AG.1)

(Leonie Freeth)

RECOMMENDATION:

1. That the information be noted. REPORT Trunk Main K supplies Grenfell with water from the Central Tablelands Water (CTW) system. Built in 1946, Trunk Main K stretches across 34 kilometres from Gooloogong to Grenfell. The pipeline is cast iron, and while the main has reliably delivered water to the town of Grenfell for the last 70 years, there are some areas of the pipeline that are beginning to fail. The Capital Works budget for replacement of Trunk Main K is $6.2 million extending from 2015/16 – 2017/18 financial years. Stage 1 construction (12.6 kms pipeline between McDonald’s Lane pump station and Grenfell North Reservoir) commenced on 21st November 2016, with construction suspended for a four week Christmas shutdown period). Progress is summarised in the table below:

Month ending

Jan-17 5 1.44 4.64

Feb-17 18 3.3 7.94

Mar-17 21 3.66 11.6

Average construction rate to date

168 metres/day

The last month groundwater has been encountered which has hampered the

construction rate. In addition, a road crossing across Bald Hills Rd was completed in

one day. It is likely pipeline construction to Grenfell North reservoir will be completed

prior to Easter (13th April 2017), however, it is envisaged completion of Stage 1 will

be mid-May 2017 as Stage 1 works also include tie-in to McDonald’s Lane, a road

crossing and commissioning of the pipeline.

Project budget is summarised in the table below. Actual expenditure of

$1,117,337.00 is slightly behind budgeted cashflow of $1,565,800.00 for the end of

March 2017, however not all March invoices have been received as yet.

11) MAINTENANCE OF COUNCIL’S SYSTEMS (WS.MO.4)

(Leonie Freeth)

RECOMMENDATION:

1. That the information be noted.

REPORT

Meter Reading The fourth meter read for the 2016/17 financial year commenced in Grenfell on 3rd April 2017, and will be finalised early May 2017 with Cowra Shire meters. Meter Change Program The meter change program continued throughout the County area with seven meters replaced that were reading over 7500. Service Replacement Program Council staff completed 6 full service replacements during the past two months.

Filtration Plant Maintenance A wash-water pump from Blayney Water Treatment Plant was sent for rebuild. Security lights have been installed at Blayney and Carcoar Water Treatment Plants.

Pump Station Maintenance Bi-monthly pump station maintenance checks have been undertaken on Palona, Plumb St, Booster #2, Booster #1, Sugarloaf, Newry, Gooloogong, McDonald’s Lane and Canodomine Pump Stations with no major faults or issues identified.

Inlet and outlets of Cudal and Broad St (Eugowra) Pump Stations have been replaced in High Density Polyethylene pipework.

Reservoir Maintenance Roof repairs were carried out to Canowindra Reservoir roof.

WH&S Council’s WH&S representative has conducted internal safety audits at Canowindra & Grenfell Depot with only minor issues identified.



Capital Works

Blayney Filtration Plant Office/Amenities building is all but complete, with minor works such as cabinetry and landscaping to be completed, as well as some works to be undertaken to Hills Lane which was a DA condition by Blayney Shire Council. Fourteen hundred (1400) metres of pipeline at Trajere (rural scheme) has been replaced in High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipeline. The existing pipeline was subject to frequent breaks. Security A break-in occurred on 9th March 2017 at the Blayney Depot. A 4WD utility was stolen, however later recovered by Police in Orange on 20th March. Following the break-in, CTW has conducted security audits of all depots and Water Treatment Plants. The Security Audits have identified the need for new security lighting at the Blayney and Grenfell Depot as well as the two Water Treatment Plants. In addition, some changes in practices have been established and also, CTW is planning to undertake some modification to fencing at the Blayney Depot.
