Operational Plan 2012-2013 Page 1

Message from the Mayor and General Manager

Following the gazettal of the Local Government Amendment (Planning and Reporting) Act 2009 all New

South Wales councils are introducing a new planning and reporting framework. During late 2011 Council

carried out community surveys and workshops to review the existing Community Strategic Plan that

articulates the community‟s vision and Council‟s mission for at least the next 10 years. That process

generally endorsed the guiding principles and strategies of the previous plan

The following values were endorsed to guide Council and the community:‐

In all our dealings we will….

show and grow leadership

be positive and work together

value each other and what we have

create opportunities for our next generations

These values set the framework for the Community Strategic Plan which is the overall planning

document for Cowra. It has a 20+ year timeframe and encompasses a broad range of goals that will need

input and support from a range of organisations and government agencies to achieve under the identified

future directions of:

Health and Wellbeing

Education, Training and Research

Lifestyle

Governance

Business and Industry

Transport and Infrastructure

Natural Resource Management

The Delivery Program 2012‐2017 is based on the Community Strategic Plan and outlines the actions that

Cowra Council will undertake to work towards addressing the goals and strategies.

The Operational Plan 2012‐2013 completes the planning documents and details the activities to be

undertaken during the financial year to deliver the commitments of the Delivery Program. The

Operational Plan also includes Council‟s detailed annual budget and revenue policy including fees and

charges.

This three tiered process ensures that there are clear links between the long terms goals of the

community and the activities of Council. It also ensures that there are clear long term strategies and

needs identified whilst still allowing for the day to day delivery of services.

OPERATIONAL PLAN


The new Delivery Program and Operational Plan were placed on public exhibition during May and June.

The community was invited to inspect the plans and to make written submissions during the public

review process so that Council could consider any such comments before the final Plans were adopted.

OPERATIONAL PLAN

A key element of the Operational Plan is the budget for 2012/2013 year. The budget exceeds

$35 million and includes a small budget surplus.

The budget is based on the 3.6% rate variation approved by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory

Tribunal.

Cowra remains in a sound financial position. However councils are finding it difficult to achieve balanced

budgets when the cost of wages, materials and utility charges are increasing at a greater rate than

income. In addition there has been long term cost shifting to local government from Federal and State

Governments where Councils are required to carry out additional activities without appropriate

compensation.

Adequate planning remains the key to a sustainable future for Council and 2012/2013 will see a

continuation on this path. Key actions planned for the coming year to achieve Delivery Program

strategies include:

Complete Local Environmental Plan

Complete CBD Masterplan

Complete installation of Darbys Falls water filtration plant

Develop a Cowra Council traineeship program

Develop a Road Asset Management Plan

Develop a Water Asset Management Plan

Develop a Wastewater Asset Management Plan

Complete Cowra Shire Economic Development Plan

Complete Cowra Shire Development Control Plan

Develop plan for heavy vehicle alternative route

Design and cost implementation plan for Cowra Regional Airport Masterplan

Conduct detailed energy audits of major council infrastructure

Continue development of water best practice suite of documents

The Works Program for 2012/2013 continues to place a strong emphasis on the maintenance of current

service standards and targeted improvements.

As a result of the floods over the last few years Council has a commitment to addressing the areas of

concern. The West Cowra flood study will be completed in 2012/2013 providing a detailed

implementation plan to alleviate the damage and disruption. The cost of works will be determined upon

finalisation of the study.

OPERATIONAL PLAN


A number of projects outside the scope of the West Cowra study have been identified and will be

undertaken in 2012/2013:

Target Car park drainage and Rowston Lane

Ranken Street Drainage

Taragala Street stormwater pipe flood flaps

Bennelong Place

Additional funding has been provided to ensure an adequate reseal program is implemented for the

streets and roads in the shire. The funding in the 2012/2013 and forward estimates is set at a level to

achieve an average reseal timeframe of 13 years.

Council will continue to roll out the Roads to Recovery program. In particular a decision will be made

on the appropriate structure to replace the Koorawatha-Greenethorpe bridge and the relevant funding

will be directed to that long awaited project.

The Integrated Plans including the Long Term Financial Plan, Delivery Program and Operational Plan

provide further details of the activities Council is carrying out. Members of the community are

encouraged to read the documents and submit comments that will be reviewed by Council.

Vision & Values

Vision

A leading, innovative and creative community, proud of our place in history, offering opportunity

with the best of country living.

Values

In all our dealings we will…..

show and grow leadership

be positive and work together

value each other and what we have

create opportunities for our next generations.

OPERATIONAL PLAN


Future Directions

The Community Strategic Plan 2012-2036 provides a strategic framework for Cowra. The identified

goals and the strategies will only be achieved through the collective input of government and non-

government agencies, businesses, community organisations and individuals. These goals are grouped into

seven themes:

Health and Wellbeing

To enjoy our unique country lifestyle and be fit and healthy, we need a range of facilities, services and

programs that cater for the needs of all age groups. We also need to take steps to prevent conditions

that could lead to loss of health and wellbeing. This will involve health, social and family care service

professionals, together with volunteers.

Education Training and Research

We must work to make Cowra a centre of excellence for education, training and research. Education,

training and research are key components for Cowra‟s present and future development. They provide a

sound basis for the economic improvement of individuals and businesses. They help build the capacity of

the community to get things done. We are challenged to create an environment where the concept of

„life long learning‟ is encouraged and supported.

Lifestyle

Cowra has a distinctive country lifestyle. Access to and enjoyment of our sporting, recreational, cultural

and heritage facilities together with our natural environment is key to a sense of community and

wellbeing. The range and quality of these many assets together with our history, heritage and indigenous

culture, provide an opportunity to fully develop Cowra‟s potential as a unique place to live and work.

Governance

Understanding the roles and responsibilities of key organisations within our community is the key to

working together. Communication between council, other levels of government and the community is

fundamental for effective consultation. Leadership is needed from council and from other organisations,

groups and individuals within Cowra. Planning is a shared responsibility and purposeful partnerships are

the way forward.


Cowra needs a strong and vital economy to provide opportunity and build its desirable country lifestyle.

We will promote Cowra to the rest of the world as an area of agricultural excellence and opportunity

for a variety of businesses. We need to respond to the needs of new and existing businesses, encourage

OPERATIONAL PLAN


innovation and high standards and develop ways to help businesses prosper. We must plan, develop and

implement the facilities and infrastructure needed for business to locate and expand in Cowra.


Transport and infrastructure issues are critical for the future development of an access to Cowra. We

need to improve and develop our public infrastructure and associated services in a sustainable way.

Service delivery is challenged by new demands and a changing world. The diverse demands of public

health, community safety, access for all, population change and the reality of climate change will require a

range of innovative solutions for the future.


Cowra looks forward to enjoying both a country lifestyle and economic growth, but not at any cost.

Our natural resource base is the foundation of Cowra today and tomorrow. Caring for our natural

resources means managing all the elements of land, water and air, now and for the future. It will require

expertise and commitment. In undertaking this task, Cowra will become a centre of natural resource

management excellence.

Organisational Profile

OPERATIONAL PLAN


Introduction

What is the Operational Plan?

The Operational Plan is one layer of the Planning and Reporting framework that all NSW Councils must

develop to meet the requirements of the Local Government Amendment (Planning & Reporting) Act

2009.

The Community Strategic Plan is the overall planning document for Cowra. It has a 10+ year timeframe

(2012-2036) and encompasses a broad range of goals that will need input and support from a range of

organisations and government agencies to achieve. It is supported by a 10 year Resourcing Strategy that

addresses Council‟s Asset Management, Long Term Financial Planning and Workforce Planning.

The Delivery Program 2012-2017 is based on the Community Strategic Plan and outlines the actions that

Cowra Council will undertake to work towards addressing the goals and strategies.

The Operational Plan 2012-2013 completes the planning documents and details the activities to be

undertaken during the financial year to deliver the commitments of the Delivery Program. The

Operational Plan also includes council‟s detailed annual budget. The 2012-2013 Fees and Charges are

available in a separate document.

This process ensures that there are clear links between the long term goals of the community and the

activities of council. The diagram below demonstrates these linkages, the Operational Plan coloured

dark orange.

OPERATIONAL PLAN


Measuring and Reporting Progress

Cowra Council is committed to providing open and honest feedback to the community about the

progress being made toward meeting community goals, and whether the desired results are being

achieved.

Different strategies will be utilised to measure progress, dependent on whether we are measuring 10+

year goals from the Community Strategic Plan, 5 year goals from the Delivery Program, or 1 year goals

from the Operational Plan. Council will focus on measuring in two key ways:

Outcomes: Are the strategies being undertaken and the services we are providing making a

difference? Has community satisfaction increased? Has the condition of our natural environment,

urban areas and lifestyle improved?

Outputs/inputs: Have we been delivering services and programs on time, within budget, and to

stated standards? What did we do and how often did we do it?

To report on the Operational Plan, the focus will be on outputs and inputs and whether or not council

has delivered its programs and services within budget and to timeframes.

The following diagram outlines the measuring and reporting framework that council will be adopting

across all the Integrated Planning documents and highlights the Operational Plan.

Waste Charges

Domestic Waste Management Charge

The domestic waste management charge is a single charge with two components being the „garbage

service‟ and the „recycling service‟.

Council has a strong commitment to a recycling program for the Shire, to reduce the amount of waste

material going to landfill at its Materials Recycling Facility and to maximise the sale of recyclable products.

As a component of Council‟s waste management charges, Council will levy under Section 496 of the

Local Government Act, a recycling charge of $97.00 ($94.00 in 2011/12) for a fortnightly pickup service

for a 240 litre recycling bin. That charge will be added to the charge for each property depending upon

whether they have a 240 litre ($430) or a 120 litre ($249) garbage bin service. See the table below.

The charge will be applicable for all serviced properties within the township of Cowra and the villages of

Darbys Falls, Wyangala, Woodstock, Wattamondara, Gooloogong, Noonbinna, Billimari and Morongla.

The domestic waste service is available upon request and by agreement, to a limited number of

properties situated on the main access roads between Cowra township and the above villages.

In accordance with Section 496 of the Local Government Act 1993, Council proposes to levy charges on

properties for which the domestic waste service is available. For 2012/2013 the following charges are to

be levied:

DOMESTIC WASTE 2012/2013 2011/2012 1 x 240 litre garbage bin (1 pick-up per week) and

a Commercial Recycling Management Charge. A Commercial Recycling service will continue to be rolled

out in 2012/2013 for all commercial properties wishing to utilise the service.

COMMERCIAL RECYCLING 2012/2013 2011/2012

1 x 240 litre recycling bin (1 pick-up per week) $ 195.00 $ 188.00

The total yield from the Commercial Waste Management Charge in 2012/2013 is estimated to be $191,709. In accordance with Section 496 and having regard to the criteria in Section 539 of the 1993 Local Government Act, Council has reviewed the Commercial Waste Management Charges for Vacant Land and has decided to charge $0 for 2012/2013.

Private Works Rate

In accordance with Section 67(1) of the Local Government Act 1993, Council may by agreement with the owner or occupier of any private land carry out on the land any kind of work that may lawfully be carried out on the land. The rates proposed to be adopted by Council are set to recover the full estimated cost (including on cost) to Council in providing the works on private land plus a profit margin of 20%.

Proposed Borrowings

It is Council‟s policy to only borrow to fund capital projects that have a life expectancy beyond the term for repayment of the loan. All loans are secured over the income of the Council. It is also Council‟s policy to invite quotes for the provision of loan funds from lending institutions and the most competitive quotation is accepted. The following loan is proposed for 2012/2013:

LOAN AMOUNT

Water Treatment Plant Automation $ 500,000

Drainage $ 250,000

It is anticipated that borrowings may be required for Airport Masterplan development

OPERATIONAL PLAN


Fees and Charges

In accordance with Section 608 of the Local Government Act 1993, Council may charge and recover an approved fee for any service it provides other than a service provided, or proposed to be provided, on an annual basis for which it may make an annual charge under Section 501. A list of the fees proposed to be charged by Council for the financial year ending June 30, 2013 is set out in the attached Schedule of Fees. The fees shown in the Schedule of Fees are arrived at after allowing for normal inflationary growth in the cost of providing these services. However, where the fee is based on the costs of providing the service and those costs increase extraordinarily during the year, Council reserves the right to amend the fees to recover the cost increase. Council‟s general pricing policy is to ensure that all fees and charges with respect to the goods and services provided by it are levied equitably.

Pricing Policies are adopted as follows:

Fees and charges for Council‟s business activities are set in accordance with the prevailing market to maximise Council‟s return;

Fees and charges for community facilities such as swimming pools, sporting fields and cemeteries are set at what Council considers to be a reasonable cost for the user to bear, the balance being met from general revenues;

Fees and charges fixed by legislation and regulations such as zoning certificates, building certificates and building approvals are statutory charges;

Fees and charges such as town planning consents, subdivision fees and dog registrations have maximum fees prescribed by regulation and Council, at its discretion, adopts amounts at or below the maximum fee prescribed;

Section 94 contributions are fixed in accordance with the relevant Contribution Plan;

Fees and charges for all other goods and services are fixed on a cost recovery basis.
