01.12.16 RESOLVED on the motion of Cr M Austin seconded Cr M Holmes that the minutes of the

Ordinary Meeting held on 15 November 2016, copies of which had been supplied to each

Councillor, be confirmed.

BUSINESS ARISING

Cr Carter raised the matter of the Grain Harvest Management Scheme requesting that the condition

reference relating to dry weather be removed from the Roads and Maritime Services’ Grain Harvest

Management Scheme website as he didn’t believe it was consistent with the September resolution.

Cr Carter had previously raised this matter at the 15 November meeting where it was recorded in

the minutes of that meeting inter alia:

Cr Carter raised the matter of the Grain Harvest Management Scheme. A memo from the Director

Engineering Services was distributed to Councillors on 18 November 2016 with further information

regarding the Scheme.

No response to that memo has been received.

As this matter appears to remain unresolved it is therefore intended that a report will be returned to

the next Council meeting to review the impacts of the 16/17 Grain Harvest Management Scheme.

Cr P Halliburton asked if the address for the Illabo Sporting Bodies had been changed by the utilities

companies. She was informed that there has been some success with this.

MAYORAL MINUTE

Japan Local Government Centre – Delegation Visit - 14 & 15 November 2016

This report confirms a verbal briefing given to Councillors at the November 2016 meeting and

follows up on a previous Mayoral Minute to Council at the Ordinary meeting on October 2016.

At the invitation of Council, a delegation of three representatives from the Japan Local Government

Centre visited Junee on Monday, 14 and Tuesday, 15 November 2016. The delegates were:

Masahisa Yoshimi, Deputy Director

Motohiro Suzuki, Assistant Director

Toshiya Komatsu, Assistant Director

The purpose of the visit was to explore the opportunity of Junee Shire hosting a "CLAIR" Forum. It's

not clear what CLAIR stands for however attached to this report is a copy of a document provided

by the delegation which is a draft outline for the proposed forum. To summarise, Japan is

experiencing similar problems related to an ageing populace and difficulties attracting people to

regional and rural areas. A collaborative "workshop" style forum is proposed between

representatives from Japan and our region to discuss potential solutions. The Japan Local

Government Centre has links with the University of Technology in Sydney and will provide a

professional facilitator to manage the forum.

The General Manager and I accompanied the delegation on Monday afternoon and showed them

potential venue options ie. the Ex-Services Club and the Athenium Theatre. To give them the full

country flavour, we had considered using a country hall such as Junee Reefs or one of the other halls

in Junee Shire however given that people would be flying in, hiring cars and finding their way, plus the



2016.


logistics of providing food, drink and possibly accommodation, the country hall option was not

pursued.

The delegation also met with staff and the Manager of the Junee Community Centre and discussed

matters related to the forum topics, seeking examples of solutions. Lawson House, Cooinda Court

and the location for the proposed Junee Lifestyle Village were also highlighted. In addition, a general

town tour was provided including the tourist highlights, town facilities and services and the town

residential expansion areas.

The day culminated in a dinner which was attended by Councillors Asmus, Halliburton, Holmes,

Austin & myself.

On Tuesday, the Deputy Director left the group departing via Junee Buses and Wagga Airport.

Whilst he waited in front of the Athenium Theatre with the morning sun highlighting the glorious

Broadway gardens, it was my great pleasure to provide him with a personal recitation of the Country

Town poem and also presented him with a copy of the poetry book and CD which contain the

poem.

In the company of Councillor Asmus and myself, the remaining two delegates were treated to a tour

of a typical Australian country farm. Councillor Carter very kindly gave up his morning to provide the

gentlemen with an insight into farming and grazing in Australia including a ride on the back of his ute

to inspect the stock and crops.

Since returning to Sydney, an email has been received formally asking if Junee Shire would host the

CLAIR Forum. Given the support of Councillors and a resolution confirming support after my verbal

briefing at the November meeting, I have responded in the affirmative indicating that Council is very

happy to assist with helping arrange a venue and catering and is very pleased to host the forum.

QUESTIONS ON NOTICE

Cr P Halliburton asked the following questions:

1. What are the steps in the process if someone submits a customer request?

A letter is written to the owner requesting them to slash or mow their block, usually within 2 to 3

weeks.

2. Does Council write to landowners if the yard/block of land is overgrown but no one has

lodged a complaint?

Yes. A Council staff member inspected the town and villages with maps and marked blocks with excess

vegetation that needed slashing/mowing. Over 400 inspections were carried out in November 2016.

3. Are the same process steps then followed?

Yes.

4. What happens if the owner of the yard/block of land does not comply?

If the owner does not comply within the given timeframe, they are issued with a Notice of Intention to

Issue an Order and given a further two weeks to comply. An Order is issued if they again fail to comply,

and a further two weeks given. There are penalties that can be applied for non-compliance with an

Order.

5. Some owners are known by Council to be non-compliant/difficult to get to do anything, so

Council can feel to be on the back foot as soon as it receives a customer request. What can

Council do to overcome this problem before it starts?

While there may be occasions of non-compliance, the process that is followed reduces the overall risk of

excess vegetation in town and village. The Council this year has trialled a new process to assist with

improving time delays in our system.

6. Does the person who notified Council via a Customer Request receive an indication from

Council that their request has been received?

Generally no, unless they request to be notified of the outcome. This process is being reviewed.

7. If so, when?

See 6 above.
