11.1 WASTE MANAGEMENT REPORT

Meetings have been held with both the Waste Management Study Committee and the Northern Waste Management Committee in the last few weeks.

11.2 WASTE MANAGEMENT STUDY COMMITTEE - SECTION 41

COMMITTEE OF COUNCIL

A Waste Management Study Committee meeting was held on the 22nd of August 2007. This meeting outlined Council’s planned dump site closures for the coming years.

11.3 NORTHERN AREAS COUNCIL CLOSURE PLAN FOR LANDFILL SITES

The Northern Areas Council will need to adopt the draft closure plan for Landfill Sites, in principle, to enable the plan to be drawn up to a suitable document for the EPA acceptance. This will require engineering specifications and an estimate of works. Council can then undertake consultation with local communities over their needs and requirements. Once the plan has been acknowledged by the EPA, there will still be room for further changes if necessary. Some Councils have closed their tips and are now awaiting the consequence. It is important that Council embrace and encourage recycling to discourage road side dumping and other illegal activities. Council will need to adopt stringent compliance from businesses to undertake cardboard and other recycling invectives. Copy of the draft Northern Areas Council Closure Plan for Landfill Sites, was attached to the report.

Moved Cr. Clark seconded Cr. Robinson that Council adopts in principle the draft Northern Areas Council Closure Plan for Landfill Sites (enclosed with this report as annexure 11.3).

CARRIED 5038

14.16.1 RUNWAY REQUIREMENTS

Following a request from Council, the Manager of Engineering Services contacted Peter Francis, Airports Inspector for CASA on Monday the 27th of August 2007 to ascertain runway requirements for Jamestown Aerodrome Runway to accommodate 20 and 50 seater aircrafts.

Peter is familiar with the Jamestown facility due to his annual safety inspections, and commented that even though the 20 seat aircraft using the Roxby Downs airstrip are landing on the 2000m runway, the limiting factor at Jamestown would be the surrounding topography (i.e. the nearby hills and power lines).

He suggested that whilst the strip is perfectly suitable for flying doctor use during daytime or night time activities. He believes that it is unlikely it would be approved for upgrade to ‘the next level’ of aircraft.

Peter will be in Jamestown later this year during the annual inspection and will contact the Manager of Engineering Services to re-visit the issue.

Letter (attached to the Report) received from GCDTA outlining plans for next 12 months and invoice for annual grant of $3,000

15.5.2 MINISTER FOR STATE/LOCAL GOVERNMENT RELATIONS –

GRANTS COMMISSION

Letter received from the Minister advising of our Grants Commission allocation for 2007/08. The total is in line with the total budgeted. However individual components varied from those budgeted as per following table:

Grant Actual Allocation

Budget Allocation

Difference

FAGs (Admin) $ 840,107 $ 757,500 + $ 82,607 Local Road Grant

$ 308,117 $ 749,400 - $441,283

Special LR Grant

$ 780,400 $ 418,600 + $361,800

Total $1,928,624 $1,925,500 + $ 3,124


The Special Local Roads funded are Laura-Orroroo and Gladstone-Huddlestone Roads. Council will receive the above total in 4 equal quarterly payments of $482,156 in August 07, November 07, February 08 and May 08. This variance from budget will have no on-ground effect on budgeted works. It means that on the Income Statement that the operating income will decrease and the capital income will increase.

15.5.3 JAMESTOWN DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION

Letter received from the JDA requesting financial help for the Christmas Pageant. Council normally contributes financially to the Christmas Pageant through the cost of closing the roads, extra clean up and mowing before and after the pageant, and time spent in procedural requirements due to Council’s insurance being utilised to cover the event (ie event risk assessment, volunteers registration, etc.) Moved Cr.

15.7 LOCAL GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL AUDITS

The LGA has issued a Discussion Paper on Local Government Financial

Audits (LGA Circular 36.3). The discussion paper details various options for the involvement of the Auditor-General in external audits of Councils. It is likely that the Local Government Act will be amended to give the Auditor-General some involvement in Council audits, so the LGA is trying to control the process by being proactive. The most likely outcome is that the Auditor-General will undertake a sample check of randomly chosen Council external audit reports to ensure compliance. A full copy of the Discussion Paper has been provided to the Audit Committee. Please see me if any other Councillor who would like a copy.

17.4 ABB GRAIN AT GLADSTONE – BILL VANDEPEER – CORELLA DAMAGE AT GLADSTONE

I received an email from Bill Vandepeer, Business Manager, Northern Area ABB Grain Ltd advising that ABB Grain at Gladstone has been incurring


significant costs due to damage from corellas that have recently moved into town. This damage has amounted to many thousands of dollars. Following discussion between ABB and the local Silo Committee, it appears that for effective control a coordinated approach across the whole town is required, with all interested parties involved. It is envisaged that this would take place over several consecutive nights in an attempt to drive the birds from the area.

I have forwarded the concerns onto the NRM Board seeking their advice as to whether the Corella problem is a pest problem or does it come under the jurisdiction of Parks and Wildlife. To date I have had no reply from the NRM Board.
