Goal 05: Management and Governance

Motion That the Local Authority note the Community Report. Moved James Glenn Seconded Rodney Baird Carried

SUMMARY: The community report is provided by the Regional Service Manager at every LA meeting to provide information to members.

BACKGROUND The Regional Service Manager Community Report covers the following: 1. Achievements 2. Key Items / Issues 3. Governance Performance 4. Works Report 5. Community Services Report. 6. Customer Service Log These are further detailed as follows: 1. Achievements

1) Thank you to previous Local Board members for their work and also their commitment to meetings the last 12 months.

Page 16: Draft Minutes ANMATJERE AUTHORITY MEETING TUESDAY…centraldesert.nt.gov.au/sites/centraldesert.nt.gov.au/files/... · Draft Minutes ANMATJERE AUTHORITY MEETING ... 9.1 Regional Service

ANMATJERE AUTHORITY 17 JUNE 2014

2) Thank you to new LA members and the community for the recent election process which had such a great turn out.

3) We have a new customer service log to document issues and

problems related to current Council services so action can be taken and feedback provided.

4) Completion of the diversion drain at Wilora and new land fill. 5) TiTree based staff completion of road works in Laramba. 6) Replacement Works Supervisor (Colin French) for three months.

Recruitment was completed in only 5 days. He is now on site. 7) 10 Field staff and supervisors receiving training this week in Septic

Tank maintenance and excavation safety as part of the Rural Operations Certificate.

2. Key Items / Issues

1) We need to ensure meeting quorum and have shared a calendar of events with everyone and will post in public places.

2) To ensure the success of LA meetings we need to be clear on our

roles as members, chair, deputy chair and staff. This will be a focus of initial training planned for later this and future meetings. The Governance Facilitators and I will work with you all individually and in particular the Chair, Deputy Chair as required to support.

3) The Department of Local Government has provided resources for

each LA for local capital projects and other ideas priorities agreed by the LA. It is planned that time at the next meeting(s) will be spent to seek and confirm Local Authority decisions on priority projects and also agreement on the major issues for the community as part of the Community Planning process already started and discussed with previous Local Board members.

4) Vandalism of community assets – especially the Women’s Centre

in Pmara Jutunta. The introduction of leasing in communities by service providers and others has meant that the Council has had to give up some community facilities that it used to care for. This has left a hole where some assets, like women’s centres and the men’s refuge in Pmara Jutunta are now the property of the land

trusts. If these places are vandalized, the council is not in a position to fix them – they are the community’s responsibility. Until some arrangement can be agreed continual vandalism will make some communities look like bomb sites, so we ask that community leaders take a role in protecting these community assets.

5) Mowing and slashing of grass in community areas cannot be

properly completed unless rubbish is collected from the areas to be mown. We are particularly concerned about hard items like engine blocks and gear boxes and the like. The field staff are not paid to pick up this sort of stuff.

6) We will supply trailers for community members to use to clean up

their hard waste. Where rubbish is concerned, our focus is on collecting the wheelie bins and disposing of domestic waste. House hold waste should be put in the rubbish in the bins supplied; our men do not have time, and should not need, to pick up rubbish on the ground next to bins.

3.

projects such as the new land fill in Attitjere and the road works in Laramba. Membership of the teams is not fixed so all staff have an opportunity to expand their skills.

BACKGROUND Mr. Jasper Haines wanted guidance as to responsibilities for community tidiness, as he believed that it was the role of Field Officers to pick up rubbish. Member Rodney Baird, (who is also the Regional Works Manager) explained that the field staff responsibility is to empty the wheelie bins and to mow/slash the grass in and around communities, but not to pick up litter thrown from yards into streets or that beside bins because people failed to put it in the bin. He stressed that residents must do their part in keeping communities clean and tidy – by not dropping litter, by not dismantling cars on the foot paths or leaving car parts in the areas that need to be mowed. He said that council has dumpster bins and trailers available for residents to use when cleaning up. He also said that if residents wanted to do a whole of community clean up that he would supply drivers with vehicles and plant to assist, but he said that the residents must do their part and not rely on staff to collect rubbish thrown down just anyhow by residents.
