That Council in the exercise of the powers conferred by Section 98(1) of the Local Government Act 1989 and any other Act, regulation or local law referred to in the attached Instrument of Delegation from Council to Designated Members of Council Staff, Buloke Shire Council resolves that: (a) There be delegated to the members of Council staff holding, acting or in performing the duties of the offices or positions referred to in the attached Instrument of Delegation to Members of Council staff, the powers, duties and functions set out in that instrument, subject to the conditions and limitations specified in that Instrument.
(b) The Instrument comes into force immediately upon the Common Seal of Council being affixed to the Instrument.
(c) On the coming into force of the Instrument all previous delegations to members of Council staff (other than the Chief Executive Officer) are revoked.
(d) The duties and functions set out in the Instrument must be performed and the powers set out in the instruments must be executed, in accordance with any Council policies or guidelines as adopted from time to time.
Seconded: Cr Stuart McLean Carried. |
1. Executive Summary
Many Council decisions are not made at Council meetings. In view of the range of legislative and regulatory responsibilities of Local Government it would not be possible for the sector to function effectively if this was the case. Instead, decision-making power can be delegated to special committees or to members of Council staff. The nature and extent of these delegations are controlled through formal Instruments of Delegation.
Delegations are different from authorisations. The decision of a delegate of Council is “deemed” to be a decision by Council. The decision by a person appointed by Council to a statutory position, for example, an Authorised Officer, is not. That person’s powers and responsibilities are quite distinct from those of Council.
Delegations should be updated following any change to the organisational structure where the structure has an impact on the positions named within existing delegations and also when there have been any changes to legislation. In this case there have been a few minor changes to the Planning and Environment Act and to the Road Management Act 2004 which take effect from 1 July 2016.
This Report sets out the Instrument of Delegation from Council to Staff (S6).
2. Financial Implications
There are no financial implications arising from this change.
3. Cost Shift Considerations
There are no cost shifting implications arising from this change.
4. Community Consultation
Following adoption by Council this Instrument of Delegation will be available to the public via Council’s web site.
5. Internal Consultation
Relevant staff will be notified of their delegations following adoption by Council.
6. Legislative / Policy Implications
This document is in accordance with section 98(1) of the Local Government Act 1989.
7. Environmental Sustainability
Not Applicable.
8. Conflict of Interest Considerations
No officer involved in the preparation of this report has a conflict of interest.
9. Conclusion
Changes to the Instrument of Delegation will occur on a regular basis. This report takes into account changes to the organisational structure and changes to legislation and recommends appropriate changes to the Instrument of Delegation from Council to Staff (S6).

8.2.2 Wycheproof Centenary Park Upgrade
Author’s Title: Coordinator Community Facilities
Department: Works and Technical Services File No: PR/07/13
Relevance to Council Plan 2015 - 2019
Strategic Objective: Engaging with, and facilitating our community to identify and meet its needs
|
That Council: 1. Submits a funding application for $198,000 for the upgrade of the Wycheproof Centenary Park amenities through the Victorian Department of Justice and Regulation’s Community Crime Prevention Program. 2. Considers the commitment of $22,000 in the development of the 2017/18 capital budget as matching funding for the project. Seconded: Cr Graeme Milne Carried. |
1. Executive Summary
The Department of Justice and Regulation provides funding annually to support crime prevention initiatives within local councils. The program will fund the development of new infrastructure, or the redevelopment of existing infrastructure, to help improve community safety, security and confidence in public places.
This report seeks Councils endorsement for a funding application to this program to upgrade the Wycheproof Centenary Park amenities to prevent crime in the area, through initiatives such as improved pedestrian access, improving natural lighting and installing vandal proof fixtures.
2. Discussion
The Wycheproof Centenary Park toilets are in a poor condition. The area is highly frequented by travellers through Wycheproof, however the facilities do not adequately cater for disabled users and have poor lighting and inadequate traffic management controls. With the amenities located adjacent to the townships premier park, it creates an unwelcoming area which does not discourage criminal behaviour.
Through working with Victoria Police, Council has developed a project to upgrade the existing toilets and improve accessibility in order to prevent criminal behaviour and create a more welcoming venue for visitors to the region and locals.
This redevelopment project includes replacing and lifting the roof, upgrading fixtures and providing compliant disabled facilities. Importantly, the design will improve the natural and artificial lighting, incorporate natural plantings, signage and environmentally sustainable fixtures and install traffic management controls to create a safer environment. The redevelopment of this precinct is listed as a high priority in the draft Wycheproof streetscape masterplan and the conceptual plans have been provided to Wycheproof Vision and the Wycheproof Lions Club for comment.
Funding has become available through the Department of Justice and Regulation’s Community Crime Prevention Program, with Council’s able to apply for up to $250,000 at a ratio of $9 State: $1 Council.
The project cost has been estimated at $220,000 of which Council would be required to commit $22,000 to gain $198,000 from the State Government.
3. Financial Implications
If successful, Council will be required to allocate $22,000 in the 2017/18 capital budget as matching funding.
4. Cost Shift Considerations
There are no cost shift considerations in this report.
5. Community Consultation
Council officers have sought support letters from local community organisations and Victoria Police. The upgrade of the Centenary Park toilets are a key recommendation in the Draft streetscape plan for Wycheproof.
6. Internal Consultation
Senior Management have been consulted in the development of this project and report.
7. Legislative / Policy Implications
There are no legislative or policy implications within this report.
8. Environmental Sustainability
The upgrade of the facility would improve natural lighting in the building and cater for water runoff on the roof to feed amenities. Other sustainable design features including LED lighting and water saving taps and toilets will be part of the upgrade.
9. Conflict of Interest Considerations
No officer involved in the preparation of this report has a conflict of interest
10. Conclusion
It is recommended Council endorse the a funding application to the Department of Justice and Regulation’s Community Crime Prevention Program and consider the commitment of $22,00 in the development of the 2017/18 capital budget as matching funding for the project.

8.2.3 Loddon Mallee Waste and Resource Recovery Implementation Plan
Author’s Title: Director Works and Technical Services
Department: Works and Technical Services File No: WM/09/03
Relevance to Council Plan 2015 - 2019
Strategic Objective: Working with the community and relevant agencies and groups to enhance and protect our natural environment
|
That Council: 1. Adopts the submission to the Loddon Mallee Waste and Resource Recovery Implementation Plan as attached to the minutes. 2. Forwards a copy of the Council submission to the Loddon Mallee Waste and Resource Recovery Group. Seconded: Cr Stuart McLean Carried. |
1. Executive Summary
The Loddon Mallee Waste and Resource Recovery Group (LMWRRG) is calling for public comment on their draft Waste and Resource Recovery Implementation Plan. The plan aims to identify local waste infrastructure needs over the next 10 years and will outline how the region’s waste will be managed and how resource recovery will be maximised.
Once the regional implementation plan is finalised it will be used to update the Statewide Waste and Resource Recovery Infrastructure Plan by incorporating the region’s priorities and information captured by the regional implementation plan.
Whilst Council officers have provided input into the development of the plan, Council should provide input into the final plan.
2. Discussion
The Loddon Mallee Waste and Resource Recovery Implementation Plan has been under development over the past twelve months and Council has been involved in stakeholder consultation during this period.
The draft plan is now out for public comment and councils, stakeholders and the community have an opportunity to provide feedback. A draft submission has been developed, which is attached to this report and provides the following feedback:
· Overall, Council supports the development of the draft plan and overarching direction of the LMRRG.
· The plan has a number of inconsistencies regarding the life expectancy and future developments at Council’s waste receival sites at Charlton, Donald, Birchip and Culgoa, which need to be corrected in the final document. Officers will speak directly with the LMRRG to ensure these alterations are made.
· The infrastructure plan should be funded through the state government sustainability fund, including future developments at Donald and Birchip.
· The plan should include a statement that LMWRRG will advocate strongly to secure funds to assist councils financially for the purposes of rehabilitating and ongoing management of legacy landfills.
· The plan should note that LMWRRG needs to work more closely with municipalities to better target education campaigns for local hotspots, in addition to the broader educational programs currently delivered.
· The plan establishes that a clear strategy be developed between LMRRG and Vicroads to address Council’s and the community’s growing concern of the expanded dumping of rubbish at roadside stops and along roadsides.
· The plan should advocate for a travelling ‘Detox your home program’ that visits Buloke centres regularly, rather than just in large regional centres.
· Council has concerns that asbestos receival sites are located only in the large regional licenced centres and the cost to our residents to legally dispose of asbestos is significant. Council fears that these high costs will result in increased illegal dumping of asbestos.
· Council is pleased that joint procurement and staff networking is a key priority and encourages LMRRG to work closer with rural councils to reduce waste management costs.
Submissions for the plan close on 12 August 2016. Once the Plan is finalised, officers will recommence the review of Council’s Waste Management Strategy, to ensure it aligns with the state and regional plans.
It is recommended that Council adopt the submission and forward a copy to the LMWRRG.
3. Financial Implications
There are a range of recommendations in the report that will need to be funded by the LMRRG and potentially Council. The plan does not make clear if the recommendations, particularly infrastructure requirements, are funded through the state government. As such, part of Council’s submissions requests clarification and commitment to the level of funding the state government have committed to the implementation of the infrastructure needs of the plan.
4. Cost Shift Considerations
There are no cost shift considerations in this report
5. Community Consultation
The draft plan has been developed with consultation from the community and Council’s. In addition, the LMWRRG are running a broad consultation program including meetings in Sea Lake and Donald to gain feedback on the draft.
6. Internal Consultation
The Senior Management Team and staff from the Works and Technical Services Department have been consulted in the development of the submission.
7. Legislative / Policy Implications
This document will form a regional plan, which will sit above Council’s own Waste Management Strategy, and will be very important in shaping future infrastructure investment and education and innovation programs.
8. Environmental Sustainability
The draft plan has a heavy focus on minimising waste streams and increasing reuse and recycling of waste. The ultimate aim is to reduce the amount of waste into landfill.
9. Conflict of Interest Considerations
No officer involved in the preparation of this report has any conflict of interest.
10. Conclusion
As a member of the LMRRG and a large stakeholder, it is important that Council’s views are reflected in the plan. It is recommended that Council adopt the submission and forward a copy to the LMWRRG for review prior to the adoption of the final plan.

|
Nil |
Relevance to Council Plan 2015 - 2019
Strategic Objective: An organisation that is responsibly governed with a strong emphasis on sustainable financial and risk management.
|
That Council: 1. Notes that twenty three objections were received for the proposed planning scheme amendment C27. 2. Refer the proposed planning scheme amendment C27 to Planning Panels Victoria.
Seconded: Cr Stuart McLean Carried. |
1. Executive Summary
The proposed planning scheme amendment proposes to implement the results of the Charlton Flood and Drainage Management Plan (2013) and the Donald Flood and Drainage Management Plan (2013). This includes updating the boundaries of the Land Subject to Inundation Overlay (LSIO) and Floodway Overlay (FO) in both townships. The amendment has been exhibited and received 23 objections. It is recommended that the proposal be referred to a planning panel.
2. Discussion
The proposed changes in amendment C27 are largely contained within the Donald and Charlton townships and surrounding agricultural land and following community consultation a number of objections have been received by Council.
There were several recurring themes in the 23 submissions received including; dissatisfaction with the way in which the proposed amendment was advertised, the integrity of the flood study and its data and, effects on insurance premiums and property values.
By far the most overarching commonality amongst the submissions were improvements that could be made to the built environment including; drainage, railway lines, river clearance and works to the Charlton-St.Arnaud Road. Council has produced an alternative map in Charlton to show the effect the Charlton-St Arnaud Road floodway works would have and this is the preferred map to be adopted.
Council has been working closely with Vicroads to ensure that the works on Charlton-St Arnaud Road are not further delayed and has been given assurances from Vicroads that this work is scheduled to occur in this financial year. Planning is currently underway for the project as VicRoads is currently finalising the Cultural Heritage Management Plan and Environmental Reports.
In addition Council has engaged Cardno Victoria Pty Ltd for the investigation and design of a Charlton flood protection levee, with the investigation due for completion within six months. Along with the mapping changes, the amendment proposes to alter the schedules to the LSIO and FO to streamline them with other Councils within the NCCMA region and lessen the need for referrals to the recommending authority.
The amendment proposes to:
· Amend Planning Scheme Maps 30 LSIO-FO, 36LSIO-FO, 37LSIO-FO, 39LSIO-FO, 40LSIO-FO, 43LSIO-FO, 46LSIO-FO
· Amend the Schedule to Clause 44.03 (Floodway Overlay)
· Amend the Schedule to Clause 44.04 (Land Subject to Inundation Overlay)
The LSIO-FO is a Victoria Planning Provision (VPP), which affects certain properties throughout Victoria and aims to ensure that land subject to flooding is developed in a way that minimises the risk of damage to properties.
Given the objections received, it is recommended that the objections and
proposed amendment be referred to a panel. A planning panel is a means of
providing public participation in the planning and environmental decision
making process. It independently assesses planning proposals by
considering submissions, conducting hearings and preparing reports. Planning
panels are advisory and make recommendations, with the final decision making
being left to the appropriate statutory body, in this case, the Buloke Shire
Council.
3. Financial Implications
The cost of holding a planning panel has been factored in to the 2016/17 adopted budget.
4. Cost Shift Considerations
The cost of the amendment and potential planning panel are borne by Council as we are the responsible planning authority, despite the strategic information and amendment request originating from the North Central Catchment Management Authority. Council is lobbying DELWP to assist in partially funding the cost of the panel.
5. Community Consultation
There was an intensive community consultation program undertaken in the form of:
· Notification in the government gazette
· Notifications in the North Central News and Buloke Times
· Three community meetings held at Charlton and attended by approximately 120 people
· Three community meetings in Donald and attended by nil persons.
· Letters sent to the affected properties
· A second letter sent to affected properties with further information as requested from the community meetings including an extension to the exhibition period.
6. Internal Consultation
The Senior Management Team and members of the Planning and Community Support team have been consulted in the development of this report.
7. Legislative / Policy Implications
The amendment process is detailed in the Planning and Environment Act 1987.
8. Environmental Sustainability
The amendment will enhance environmental sustainability by better managing the flood plain and the natural flow of water.
9. Conflict of Interest Considerations
No officer involved in the preparation of this report has any conflict of interest.
11. Conclusion
It is recommended that proposed planning scheme amendment C27 be referred to a planning panel for consideration.

8.2.5 Review of Buloke Library Services
Author’s Title: Manager Planning and Community Support
Department: Planning and Community Support File No: CS/10/09
Relevance to Council Plan 2015 - 2019
Strategic Objective: A Buloke community where people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities, are embraced and supported and can access the Council services they need to help live healthy and fulfilling lives.
|
That Council: 1. Releases the Library Services Review to the public for comment by 30 October 2016. 2. Establishes a reference group in each of the nine townships currently receiving a library service to assist in advising Council on the most suitable service delivery at their locality. 3. Establishes a reference group in the Nandaly township to investigate the opportunity of recommencing a library service. 4. Receives a recommendation from officers at the December 2016 Council meeting as to the most appropriate course of action at each township as per the feedback from reference groups and additional consultation work. 5. Communicates to Charlton residents that a temporary service delivery change from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 will be provided with the mobile library being delivered by Wimmera Regional Library Corporation.
Seconded: Cr Stuart McLean Carried. |
1. Executive Summary
Council has undertaken an external review of its library services, which was conducted by Graham Shiell Consulting. It identified key issues including the state-wide trend away from the current service delivery method (mobile service), the low levels of per-capita use of the service and the very high cost per visit.
A factor for a change in service delivery raised in the Review is the cessation of the Charlton mobile library by the Goldfields Library Corporation. This service is being discontinued by Goldfields from the end of 2016 and reflects the growing trend of phasing out of mobile library services across the state. There is considerable time pressure for a new service to be provided to Charlton so that library services can continue.
It is important that Council works with its community in further developing, investigating and implementing the suggested changes to the service such that users are empowered and levels of service truly enhanced.
2. Discussion
The Review commenced by surveying views of the existing service and comparing current outcomes with known benchmarks.
The survey saw a high level of response from library users. Library users indicated a high level of support and satisfaction with the current service and it is clear the service is very highly valued by users. It is also highly valued by Council and the Review strongly focussed on how the Library Service can be enhanced and improved.
The Review found that the use of the library service was well below the state wide norms and that loans per library member were less than half the regional average. Consequently the cost per visit is very high compared to regional averages (2.5 times higher). This lack of use is related to the present service not meeting the needs of the wider community and is a clear indicator of the need for change.
The Review then considered two models of service delivery including:
1. Retaining the current service model with some alternative solution for Charlton (given the cessation of the Goldfields mobile service), or
2. A direct management model of joint use, or shared facilities, at the larger towns with outreach facilities at the other locations.
Under the second model, Council would cease outsourcing the management of the library to its three current mobile suppliers and take responsibility for direct management. This model is more cost effective, however a number of considerations including library, governance and cataloguing expertise need to be taken in to account.
Under the second model, it is proposed that there would be a commitment by Council for the following level of service:
|
Townships |
Existing service |
Proposed service |
|
Berriwillock |
0.5 hours mobile service per fortnight |
1 hour outreach service per fortnight |
|
Birchip |
8 hours community service per fortnight plus school hours access |
5 hours community service per week |
|
Charlton |
5.5 hours mobile service per fortnight |
5 hours community service per week |
|
Culgoa |
1 hour mobile service per fortnight |
1 hour outreach service per fortnight |
|
Donald |
5 hours mobile service per fortnight, 4 hours community service on alternate fortnight at library hub |
5 hours community service per week |
|
Nandaly |
No service |
1 hour outreach service per fortnight |
|
Nullawil |
1 hour mobile service per fortnight |
1 hour outreach service per fortnight |
|
Sea Lake |
5 hours mobile service per fortnight |
5 hours community service per week |
|
Watchem |
1 hour mobile service per fortnight |
1 hour outreach service per fortnight
|
|
Wycheproof |
4.5 hours mobile service per fortnight |
5 hours community service per week
|
There will need to be discussions and negotiations in all of the townships with users, schools and community resource centres around the location, development and implementation of the community and outreach services. Tapping into and addressing community needs will be the key to providing a service that sees use and loans increase to a level closer to the state averages.
It is recommended that the reference groups in the five larger townships be made up of; school principals, community forum/resource centre member and three library users. It is recommended that in the five smaller townships the reference group be made up of a forum member and two library users. The reference group would have an initial meeting in late August, again in September and provide feedback to the Council officer by the end of October in order to allow feasibility and costing to occur throughout November for a December report.
There are also a number of contractual arrangements which Council needs to be aware of in any transition to new arrangements.
3. Financial Implications
There are some financial costs for providing the temporary service in Charlton in the second half of the financial year. The costs of the library service in the 17/18 budget and in future will be better known when the reference groups recommend their preferred options for delivery and these are costed.
4. Cost Shift Considerations
The cost of the provision of library services has moved over time from a nominal 80% Victorian Government contribution to the current situation whereby the Victorian Government recurrent grant covers 42%. The balance is incurred by Council.
5. Community Consultation
Community consultation occurred during the Review with the completion of a community survey. Consultation and negotiation will continue throughout the process in-line with Council’s Community Engagement Strategy, with information to be provided to Council during the process.
6. Internal Consultation
Consultation occurred with the Corporate Services Department, staff involved with the provision of the library service and the Senior Management Team.
7. Legislative / Policy Implications
Nil.
8. Environmental Sustainability
There are potential sustainability improvements through a reduction in the use of mobile library services and consequent emissions. In addition, the co-location and multi-use of existing buildings and facilities may improve environmental sustainability performance of community facilities.
9. Conflict of Interest Considerations
No officer involved in the preparation of this report had a conflict of interest.
10. Conclusion
It is recommended that Council release the review and immediately form reference groups in the ten townships to provide for potential service delivery options. In addition it is recommended that the Charlton township immediately be informed of the proposed temporary arrangement from 1 January 2017 to 30 June 2017 until a decisions is made about the best delivery of library services in Buloke.

8.2.6 Draft Domestic Waste Management Plan 2016-20
Author’s Title: Manager Planning and Community Support
Department: Planning and Community Support File No: EH/09/08
Relevance to Council Plan 2015 - 2019
Strategic Objective: A Shire planned to meet the current and future needs of the agricultural sector and town-based residents while maintaining and enhancing its built environment.
|
That Council: 1. Adopts the draft Domestic Wastewater Management Plan 2016-20
2. Exhibits the draft plan for 31 days
Seconded: Cr Leo Tellefson Carried. |
1. Executive Summary
The Domestic Wastewater Management Plan 2016-20 (DWMP) has been developed to assist Council’s Environmental Health Officers (EHO) in the assessment of wastewater issues within the municipality and provide appropriate strategies and actions to manage any existing and future problems relating to onsite wastewater management.
2. Discussion
Modern households produce significant amounts of wastewater through everyday household activities such as showering, washing and cleaning. In urban areas, household sewerage made up of black and grey water is collected through an underground network of pipes that delivers the wastewater to a centralised treatment facility where it is then treated for reuse or returned to the natural environment. Where this reticulated sewerage system is not available, households must install an onsite wastewater management system to effectively treat and dispose of wastewater within the property boundaries.
Council is responsible for the issuing of permits to install or alter onsite wastewater management systems in both private and commercial settings where the wastewater generated is less than 5,000 litres per day.
The DWMP has been prepared to comply with Buloke Shire Council’s obligations under the State Environment Protection Policy (Waters of Victoria).
The State Environment Protection Policy (Waters of Victoria) states that a municipal council must develop and implement a Domestic Wastewater Management Plan that:
· Reviews Land Capability Assessments and available domestic wastewater management options to prevent the discharge of wastewater beyond allotment boundaries and prevent impacts on groundwater beneficial uses;
· Identifies the preferred options, together with costs, funding needs, timelines and priorities; and
· Provides for the assessment of compliance of on-site domestic wastewater systems with permit conditions.
Buloke Shire Council does not have to take into account potable supply water catchment areas in the development of our DWMP, making the document substantially less onerous and the administration on our EHO substantially reduced. In addition, the five smaller townships are not advocating for sewer construction and this is unlikely to occur given the significant cost of the required infrastructure.
The draft DWMP has a number of strategic actions that can better assist the administration of onsite wastewater management systems and work with the community to ensure that property owners are aware of their responsibilities.
3. Financial Implications
The recommended actions contained within the DWMP are within the utilisation of existing resources to Council.
4. Cost Shift Considerations
Council is responsible for the management of domestic wastewater. Commercial waste management is dealt with by the EPA.
5. Community Consultation
Consultation was held in the five townships without sewer and notification of the proposed plan development was put in the locally circulating papers. The draft plan if adopted by Council for exhibition will be advertised for consultation for the legislative period of 31 days in the locally circulating newspapers and on the Buloke council website and social media.
6. Internal Consultation
Consultation has taken place with the planner and the rates and property officer.
7. Legislative / Policy Implications
The DWMP has been prepared to comply with Buloke Shire Council’s obligations under the State Environment Protection Policy (Waters of Victoria).
8. Environmental Sustainability
The purpose of the DWMP is to ensure compliance with wastewater and to protect amenity and waterways.
9. Conflict of Interest Considerations
No officer involved in the preparation of this report has any conflict of interest.
10. Conclusion
It is recommended that Council adopt the draft DWMP for exhibition.

8.2.7 New Early Learning Facilities Grant 2017
Author’s Title: Manager Planning and Community Support
Department: Planning and Community Support File No: CS/11/08
Relevance to Council Plan 2015 - 2019
Strategic Objective: A Shire planned to meet the current and future needs of the agricultural sector and town-based residents while maintaining and enhancing its built environment.
|
That Council: 1. Endorses an expression of interest application to the 2017 New Early Learning Facilities Grant for $400,000 for the development of the Birchip Early Years Centre. 2. Considers the commitment of $50,000 in the development of the 2017/18 budget as matching funding to support the project, with additional funding of $50,000 coming from the community and Kindergarten committee.
Seconded: Cr Leo Tellefson Carried. |
1. Executive Summary
The Department of Education and Training has released the Children Facilities Capital Program for projects to commence from January 2017 with applications required by 12 August 2016. There are several grant streams and it is recommended that Council support an application for the New Early Learning Facility Grant for the Birchip Early Years Centre project.
2. Discussion
The grant application is for a new early learning facility to be co-located at the Birchip P-12 school. The intention is to refurbish an existing under-utilised building at the school to be suitable as an early years space, which meet the grant application requirements of being a ‘new’ site that delivers early years.
Council made an application for this project in 2015, which was unsuccessful due to the heavy oversubscription to the fund. Importantly, the Department of Education and Training provided valuable feedback on how to strengthen the application, and this year’s application addresses these recommendations, by demonstrating a strengthening of partnerships.
Throughout the extensive consultation in the development of the Buloke Municipal Early Years Plan which Council adopted in December 2015, it was evident to Council that there was strong support in Birchip for an early years facility to be co-located at the current Birchip P-12 school. This creation of a 0-18 education precinct formed a key recommendation in the plan.
The current site of the Birchip Kindergarten and Maternal Child Health Centre is adjacent to the public gardens in Cumming Avenue. The Kinder is utilised for four year old kinder, three year old kinder and long day care, and used a minimum of four days per week. Council has undertaken an assessment of the building in line with its ongoing asset maintenance program and the building requires significant investment in the coming years. In particular the roof of the building requires replacement.
The existing building is licenced for 18 students and 2017 will see an enrolment of 17 four year old kinder students, meaning it will be nearing capacity. The Birchip Kindergarten Committee has liaised with families and predicts the following enrolment numbers for the future four years:
· 2017: 17 students
· 2018: 13 students
· 2019: 10 students
· 2020: 14 students
This represents 52 children currently residing in Birchip between the ages of 0- 4 and corresponds with the number of birth notices that the Maternal Child Health Nurse has for the community.
The recent addition of unfunded long day care in Birchip on Thursdays highlights the demand for additional services. There are currently 12 children in long day care and it is predicted that this figure will increase in coming years. If the Federal Government maintains its commitment to allow for competitive funding for flexible rural circumstances commencing in July 2018, this will also bolster the demand of long day care.
Childcare and access to fit for purpose built spaces for kinder programs is a strong theme coming from Birchip. The township has a population of 662 (at the 2011 Census) but services a much wider catchment including the smaller towns of Watchem and Nullawil.
It is expected that if the grant application is successful, Birchip P-12 School will become the registered provider of the kinder and other programs with a transition away from the current provider, the YMCA. This would see the staff employed at the new facility merging into a fully integrated P-12 school network including access to all of the facilities at the school and professional development opportunities and peer support from the other staff. In addition, the Birchip P-12 School and Birchip Kindergarten Committee will be responsible for all operational, maintenance and future capital costs of the facility.
The proposed new early learning facility would also incorporate an office and waiting space for the Maternal Child Health Nurse on a Tuesday and will be used by other users such as immunisation nurses and therapy providers.
The grant application is realistic about the potential usage and number of students and plans have been designed so that the building that can licence a total of 33 with a dividing wall allowing joint use of the space with a 22/11 split. The proposal utilises existing service connections including a location close to sewer lines for connection of young person’s toilets and only minor structural works to the building such as ramp instillations. The architect responsible for the development of the Donald Family Services Centre has assisted the community and Council with the design and costing for the project.
3. Financial Implications
If Council is successful in receiving the funding for the project, it will be responsible for delivering the projects and acquittal. Council officers will provide support in completing funding applications and managing the projects.
Council will need to consider a contribution of $50,000 for the early years project in the 2017/18 budget. There is likely to be additional costs for rehabilitating the existing kindergarten site.
If successful, the Birchip P-12 School and Kindergarten committee will be responsible for all operational, maintenance and future capital upgrades of the facility.
4. Cost Shift Considerations
The early years centre would be located on Department of Education land with the Birchip P-12 School managing the facility.
5. Community Consultation
There has been community consultation undertaken with a range of stakeholders and relevant committees including school committee, kinder committee, kinder employees, playgroup committee and the Birchip Forum.
Further community consultation would be required if the application is successful.
6. Internal Consultation
Senior management have been consulted in the development of this report.
7. Legislative / Policy Implications
There are some policy implications of Council no longer owning or running the Birchip Kindergarten, however currently YMCA operates as the kinder cluster manager.
8. Environmental Sustainability
The incorporation of environmental sustainable design features has been factored into the planning and design of the project.
9. Conflict of Interest Considerations
No officers involved in the preparation of this report have a conflict of interest
10. Conclusion
It is recommended that Council endorses the grant application and considers $50,000 of matching funding in the 2017/18 financial year to support the early years centre development project.

That Council receives and notes the Interim Financial Performance Report for the period ending 30 June 2016
Seconded: Cr Stuart McLean Carried. |
1. Executive Summary
This report provides an interim overview of Council’s financial position as at 30 June 2016. The report is an interim report because until the accounts have been audited they cannot be considered the final result. Following the half year budget review, the report contains Council’s forecast position as at 30 June, as well as the original budget. The variation between the original budget and the forecast is largely due to grant income that was received at the end of the previous financial year rather than in 2015/16 year. When this is taken into consideration Council will be in a slightly better position than originally budgeted. Given the tight financial constraints of this budget, this has been a good result.
The Income Statement provides a summary of the total income and total expenditure relating to the Council’s annual recurrent operations. It also specifically includes capital income but never includes capital works expenditure.
For the period ending 30 June 2016, the year to date (YTD) deficit is $54k. Total income excluding capital grants is a deficit of $3.85m. The negative variance in operating income is due to the early receipt of half of the 2015/16 Victoria Grants Commission allocation in June 2015. Council had budgeted to receive this allocation in August 2015. The forecast shows a deficit of $0.88m which is due to this early allocation of income.
The Balance Sheet effectively shows a summary of the value of Assets (what we own) and our Liabilities (what we owe), both of which balance off against each other to show Equity (our net worth).
At the 30 June 2016, the Balance Sheet shows Council’s bank balance at $6.8m.
The Cash Flow Statement is formatted to show a rolling 12 month forecast. At 30 June 2016, the Cash Flow Statement shows Council with a bank balance of $6.8m. The cash flow forecast has been amended to reflect movements in the income statement. Cash held at 30 June 2016 includes restricted grants funds held for the completion of capital works projects.
The cash flow graph shows that Council is in a stronger position than anticipated. It would have been expected that by the end of the financial year that the lines would have been closer together.
The Capital Works Program report reflects 95% of forecasted capital works i.e. $5.15m of capital works (including additional R2R allocation) has been expended as at the 30 June 2016. Subsequent to the adoption of the 2015/16 Annual Budget, Council was advised that the Roads to Recovery annual allocation for 2015/16 was increased from $2.20m to $3.14m. Council has claimed its full annual allocation through additional capital road works projects in 2015/16.
2. Financial Implications
This report continues to show that Council’s tight financial management is placing it in a sounder position. It is critical that Council continues to have a positive cash flow and at present it is in line with its forecast position.
3. Community Consultation
No consultation with the community was required for the production of this report.
4. Internal Consultation
The reports have been prepared in consultation with Budget Managers directly responsible for Council budgets.
5. Legislative / Policy Implications
The report is consistent with the requirements of the Local Government Act 1989.
6. Environmental Sustainability
This report has no direct impact on environmental sustainability.
7. Conflict of Interest Considerations
No officer involved in the preparation of this report has a conflict of interest.
8. Conclusion
The Financial Performance Report reinforces that Council is successfully managing its challenging financial position. Council has a clear understanding of its finances and has implemented its adopted borrowing strategy, allowing it to prudently manage its finances into the future.
