The purpose of this report is to recommend that Council approves the allocation of funds from the Community Grants and Sponsorship Program and Sustainability Grants Fund to the projects listed above.
2. Discussion
The Donald Learning Centre wish to purchase a HD projector to support a program with employment services provider E-works to provide accredited Microsoft Office and Excel training to young unemployed people in Donald. Groups of 8 will receive 2.5 hours training each week for 4 weeks. The Donald Learning Centre has applied for Learn Local accreditation and it is recommended that Council fund this application pending that accreditation being granted.
Donald 2000 and Cuisine in the Crop are applying for funding to build a portable dance floor for cuisine in the crop and other events held in and around Donald. The recommendation is that funding be conditional on plans and specifications, demonstrating its structural integrity being submitted.
The Birchip Business and Learning Centre are coordinating a community Christmas event for Birchip. Many local people and organizations lend equipment and volunteer time to ensure the night is a success. It is a great example of the community working together to host a family friendly event that is enjoyed by all generations. It is recommended that Council provide sponsorship to assist with the operational costs of running the event.
Three applications have been received for Sustainability Fund grants.
· Gordon Park caravan and camping ground to install 2.5 KW solar panels and inverter.
Gordon Park is an important facility and community resource in Charlton. The committee of management believes that the facility will be more viable as well as being a better “corporate citizen” as a community organisation.
· Charlton Lions Club to install a 5 KW solar panel and inverter on the Lions club rooms
Charlton “Lion’s Den” is a shared facility used by Charlton CWA and North Central Garden Club. The facility is also used for private functions. The application notes the over 100 people will benefit from this improvement to the facility.
· Charlton Bowling Club to install a 5 KW solar panel and inverter on the Charlton Bowling Club rooms
Charlton Bowling Club cater for both outdoor members and indoor members, Charlton College, Mallee Sports Assembly All Abilities Bowls and other groups using the facilities at various times the club believes that these users will benefit at reduced rates if our power was cheaper.
Charlton groups have been able to negotiate a favourable price with a contractor on the basis of multiple projects. This has also assisted Charlton residents to access this contractor and favourable price structure.
All three projects meet the funding criteria of the Sustainability Fund and it is recommended they be funded.

8.2.2 AFL Central Victoria Regional Strategy
Author’s Title: Coordinator Community Facilities
Department: Works and Technical Services File No: RC/11/08
Relevance to Council Plan 2017 - 2021
Strategic Objective: Build a healthy and active community
|
That Council endorse the AFL Central Victoria Regional (Facilities) Strategy.
|
1. Executive Summary
The Australian Football League (AFL) Central Victoria Regional Strategy was launched on 1 September 2017. The Strategy was developed to drive targeted investment by local councils, AFL Victoria and Netball Victoria and the state government and provide a strategic vision on how to increase and support participants of football and netball within Central Victoria.
2. Discussion
The formation of the Strategy has been an eighteen month process and included audits of the football and netball facilities across the whole region. This included the six recreation reserves within the Buloke Shire used for competition. The Strategy has noted that hockey runs in conjunction with football and netball in the North Central competitions, but has not included hockey specific infrastructure recommendations.
Council agreed to provide a financial contribution to the Strategy on the basis of improved asset understanding from the facility audits and Council’s Manager Community Facilities was part of the Project Control Group (PCG) throughout.
The Strategy outcomes will provide guidance to Council on future needs at facilities and will assist in gaining funding for future developments. The Strategy highlights that the most needed infrastructure improvements is lighting for football and netball facilities, improved umpire change facilities to cater for female umpires, and the improved change facilities for both football and netball. This Strategy will provide clear evidence of need when Council or clubs are making infrastructure-based funding applications.

8.2.3 Swimming Pool season 2017/18

Relevance to Council Plan 2015 - 2019
Strategic Objective: Build a healthy and active community

That Council: 1. Sets the 2017/18 swimming pool season to operate from Friday 10 November 2017 until Monday 12 March 2018 for all seven swimming pools.
2. Advertises the 2017/18 pool season dates through its media platforms and displays them at each pool for the duration of the season.
3. Endorse a cold weather procedure trial for the 2017/18 season, in which the pools will not open if the temperature is forecast to be 21 degrees or less.
4. ‘Bank’ cold weather days for use at the end of the 2017/18 season where the temperature remains above 30 degrees.
|
1. Executive Summary
This report seeks Council approval to confirm the opening date of 10 November 2017 and the closing date of 12 March 2018 for the 2017/18 swimming pool season.
2. Discussion
Traditionally, Council has opened all seven swimming pools in the third week of November and closed them at the end of the second week in March. Consistent with these previous years, the proposed opening and closing dates are 10 November 2017 and 12 March 2018. These dates are the basis of the 2017/18 operational budget.
Council’s Aquatic Strategy 2013 provided a recommendation to implement a ‘cold weather policy’ to close on days of low temperature as a means to reduce costs. The attendances during different temperatures have been analysed over a number of years, whereby historically people do not regularly attend the pools when the weather is cold. A number of neighbouring Council’s successfully operate cold weather temperature policies including the Loddon, Gannawarra, Mount Alexander and Bendigo Council. All of these Councils close outdoor pools if the temperature is below 22 degrees and the decision is made at 6:00pm the previous day.
In considering the implementation of such a procedure for Buloke pools, staff have conducted an analysis of attendances over the 2016/17 season. The following table highlights the historical attendance when the temperature 22° and under:

*Wycheproof and Donald figures are positively skewed due to the swimming club and group attendance during pool hours on some of these days.
In addition to running a cold water procedure, the Loddon Shire Council operate a ‘banking’ system, where they ‘bank’ days that the pools are closed and use them on warm days to extend the pool hours.
Considering the management structures are different between Loddon and Buloke, it is not possible to extend the pool operational hours further into the evening. However, there is an opportunity to utilise ‘banked’ days at the conclusion of the season to effectively extend the season beyond the 12 March 2018 closing date. One of the key risks of the ‘banking’ system is that the March period is typically the time of year where Council experiences lifeguard shortages as students have returned to university or gained other employment.
If Council were to adopt the cold water procedure, it would not prohibit the use of schools, Vicswim or other private groups from using the pool as they typically would.
3. Financial Implications
The development of a cold water procedure and ‘banking’ system will have a neutral effect on the budgeted position. Pending the availability of lifeguards in March, there may be some employee savings if the season cannot be extended.
4. Cost Shift Considerations
There are no cost shift considerations in this report.
5. Community Consultation
The recommended season dates and cold weather procedures are consistent with previous seasons and comparable with other pools in the Loddon Mallee region. Closing of the pools due to cold weather will not affect user groups who hire the pools outside of Council’s designated opening hours.
The Aquatic Strategy, which was where the cold water procedure was initially recommended, included a significant consultation program, including surveys, pop-up sessions, meetings with key users and committees.
6. Internal Consultation
Internal consultation has occurred with senior management.
7. Legislative / Policy Implications
There are no legislative implications with these recommendations.
8. Environmental Sustainability
Altering the length of the season would increase electricity and water usage.
9. Conflict of Interest Considerations
No officer involved in the preparation of this report had a conflict of interest.
10. Conclusion
Based on the information provided, it is recommended that the 2017/18 pool season operates from Friday 10 November 2017 until Monday 12 March 2018 at all seven swimming pools and that Council trial a cold weather procedure of closing the pools if the proposed temperature remains 21 degrees or less. It is proposed that the days closed under a cold weather procedure are banked for usage at the end of the season pending the availability of lifeguards.
8.2.4 Road Name Change Request - Mayers Road to Tomamichel road

That: 1. Council commences the statutory consultation process following the request to rename Mahers Road in Charlton East to Tomamichel Road. 2. Council considers any submissions received in accord with the provisions of s223 of the Local Government Act 1989. 3. After completion of the consultation process, Council considers its response to the request. |
1. Executive Summary
This report advises Council on the intention to commence the public consultation process for renaming Mahers Road in Charlton East to Tomamichel Road.
2. Discussion
Council has been in discussions with Ms Jeanette Matthews following her request to rename Mahers Road, in Charlton East, to Tomamichel Road. The earth road in Charlton East is 2.48km in length and runs from Boort-Charlton Road to Saits Road (see attachment).
Ms Matthews has provided evidence that the road was formerly named Tomamichel Road (evidenced in the CFA Rural Directory 2004), that locals still know it as Tomamichel Road and a range of historical documents highlighting the role of the family as early settlers in the Charlton East district. The evidence provided included the following evidence of the Tomamichel family’s standing in Charlton Eas:
· On the 31 July 1876 land at Charlton East was surveyed. On the 1 November, 1876 Gasper Tomamichel was granted licence to occupy the Charlton East land.
· In 1888, the Tomamichel family lobbied hard for and donated land for the construction of the Charlton East School.
· The Charlton Honour board records as two sons of Gasper Tomamichel enlisted in the Great War.
The current road name in Council’s register and other state-wide mapping systems is Mahers Road. Staff have conducted research and cannot ascertain the reason for changing the name from Tomamichel Road to Mahers Road, which appears to have occurred between 2004 and 2006.
Council, as the coordinating road authority, can name or rename a road subject to the provisions of the Road Management Act 2004, Geographic Places Names Act 1998 and the Local Government Act 1989. These Acts state that in all instances the road authority must act in accordance with the Naming Rules for Places in Victoria. The Rules indicate that renaming should only be considered if the Council can demonstrate that the proposal is made in the interests of the community.
Prior to publishing a gazette notice related to name change, Council must act in accordance with these Rules and ensure the proposal conforms to naming principles and procedures. Importantly, the road authority must consult with the local community and emergency services agencies and ultimately seek the Registrar’s approval for the proposed name prior to publishing a gazette notice.
There is another Tomamichel Road within the Buloke Shire boundary, which is located at Springfield. This is outside the 30km buffer area and should not be an consideration when making the final decision.
It is recommended that Council undertake the statutory consultation process, including advertising in papers and notifying any residents that live on the road. Following this process, a report will be presented to Council to make a final decision.
3. Financial Implications
There are no financial implications to this decision.
4. Cost Shift Considerations
There are no cost shift considerations as part of this report.
5. Community Consultation
Community consultation must be undertaken in accordance Local Government Act 1989 and Naming Rules for Places in Victoria.
6. Internal Consultation
Staff have completed an internal review including on-site inspections.
7. Legislative / Policy Implications
The following legislation and guidelines have been considered:
· Geographic Places Names Act 1998
· Local Government Act 1989
· Road Management Act 2004
· Naming Rules for Places in Victoria
8. Environmental Sustainability
There is no environmental impact from this report.
9. Conflict of Interest Considerations
Officers preparing this report have no direct or indirect conflict of interest.
10. Conclusion
It is recommended that Council commence the consultation process associated with the request to rename Mahers Road to Tomamichel Road. A further report will be presented to Council following the consultation for a final decision.

8.2.5 Realignment
of Bakers and Pryses Road

Department: Works and Technical Services File No: EM/13/04
Relevance to Council Plan 2017 - 2021
Strategic Objective: Support our councillors, staff, volunteers and the community to make informed and transparent decisions.
|
That Council: 1. Give consent to the Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning to realign the Bakers and Pryses Road reserve.
2. Council Publish the formal realignment notice in the Government Gazette
|
1. Executive Summary
This report is presented to Council to consider the request from the Department of Environment, Land, Water & Planning (DELWP) to realign the road reserve to bring into line with the actual formation of Bakers and Pryses Road.
2. Discussion
Council received a letter from DELWP requesting consent to realign the boundaries of the Bakers and Pryses Road from the legal road reserve alignment to the actual existing road formation.
The actual road runs through Allotment 12A Section 2, Parish of Ninyeunook as a legal government road alignment.
The Department has outlined that it is in the process of reserving Allotment 12A as a Flora Reserve under the provisions of the Crown Land (Reserves) Act 1978. The land has been identified as a site of significance, supporting remnant native grassland. A recent survey from DELWP has disclosed that the actual formed road (being that of Bakers and Pryses Road) runs through this allotment.
The map (in Attachment 1) highlights the physical road (shown coloured blue) compared to the current legal government road reserve alignment (shown coloured green).
Officers have inspected and confirmed that the section of the Bakes and Pryses Road that runs through Allotment 12A is in use and on our road register.
In order to resolve this issue, DELWP is requesting the Council consider a road deviation under Schedule 10, Clause 3 of the Local Government Act 1989. This would result in the physical road (coloured blue) becoming a government road and the former road reserve (coloured green) becoming unreserved crown land.
The proposed change will not make any change to the existing Bakers and Pryses Road layout and will not have any impact on the current road users.
Council have conducted the statutory consultation process required under s223 of the Local Government Act. This included publishing notices in local papers and the Government Gazette requesting submissions. No submissions were received.
Given no submissions were received, it is recommended that Council give consent to the realignment of Bakers and Pryses Road.
3. Financial Implications
There are no financial implications in the report
4. Cost Shift Considerations
Council has borne the cost of advertising and administering the realignment of state government controlled land.
5. Community Consultation
A consultation process was undertaken and no submissions were received.
6. Internal Consultation
Staff from the Works and Technical Services department have been consulted throughout the process.
7. Legislative / Policy Implications
This report considers the following legislation and policy:
- Local Government Act 1989
- Road Management Act 2004
- Land Act 1958
- Crown Land (Reserves) Act
- Buloke Shire Road Management Plan 2017
8. Environmental Sustainability
There is no environmental impact from this report.
9. Conflict of Interest Considerations
There are no known conflicts for Councillors or staff associated with this report.
10. Conclusion
This report allows the road reserve and crown reserve parcels to be brought into line with the current physical features on the area.

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.
|
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 this report is written due to the appointment of an officer to the budgeted position of Manager Statutory Services.
2. Financial Implications
There are no financial implications arising from this change.
3. Cost Shift Considerations
There is 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 had 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 organisational structure and recommends appropriate changes to the Instrument of Delegation from Council to Staff (S6).

Department: Works and Technical Services File No: EM/13/05
Relevance to Council Plan 2017 - 2021
Strategic Objective: Responding to and enhancing our built and natural environment
|
That Council adopts the Roadside Weed and Pest Program Control Plan 2017/19. |
1. Executive Summary
Buloke Shire Council will be receiving $150,000 ($75,000 per financial year) over two years funding from the Department of Planning and Community Development.
Council is also receiving $50,000 under the Commonwealth Roadside Weeds and Pest Funding for drought affected areas in Victoria 2017. This funding will be offered to Council after it updates its current Roadside Weed and Pest Control Plan. The $50,000 from the drought affected funding has to be spent by 30 December 2017.
The Plan will be approved by Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources (DEDJTR).
The Roadside Weed and Rabbit Control Plan (RWRCP) contributes to Buloke Shire’s ongoing roadside weed and rabbit management program and complements past investments made by Buloke Shire enabled through State Government initiative funding. The Plan will assist with preventing the spread and introduction of invasive plant and animal species across the Shire and the region as a whole.
2. Discussion
Through past State Government funding initiatives, Council has treated approximately 2,000 km of roadsides for established pest animals and weeds.
Investment of funds will be aligned to:
1. Community action/compliance
· Works will align with community landcare projects and (DEDJTR) and Department of Environment Land, Water and Planning compliance projects. This year compliance works will be undertaken in the Nandaly area for the control of rabbits.
2. Control of the regionally controlled weeds, Boxthorn on roadsides with high to very high vegetation quality:
· Control of Horehound and Wheel cactus
· Works will align with community landcare projects,
· Works on roadsides with high to very high vegetation quality, and
· To address customer concerns for the spread of these weeds from roadsides to private land.
3. Financial Implications
$50,000 received from the Drought affected areas in Victoria 2017.
$75,000 to be received in the 2017/18 financial year.
$75,000 to be received in the 2018/19 financial year.

Regional Context of Noxious Weed and Pest Animal Management
|
The Shire of Buloke is located in the northwest of Victoria and covers approximately 8,000 square kilometres, and is largely based on broad acre agricultural production. Buloke Shire is characterized by vast agricultural plains extending from the sedimentary hills south of Charlton, north to the Mallee dunes and into the Wimmera region.
Buloke Shire is located at the boundary of three broad regions. The Wimmera Clay Plains and the sedimentary hills on the fringes of the Box-Ironbark forests of the Victorian Central Goldfields contribute to the environmental characteristics of the Southern areas of the Shire, with the red sand dunes of the Mallee region, the dominant feature of the north of the Shire.
The Buloke Shire Council seeks to work with local communities in protecting high value environmental assets from pest plant and animal impacts. The southern regions of the shire contain Buloke Woodland Communities that are recognised as a regional and national high priority asset. The northern region of the shire joins Lake Tyrrell, a wetland of National Significance that plays an important ecological/hydrological role in the natural functioning of a major wetland system. It is a seasonal saline lake of over 20,000 hectares in size.
Buloke Shire Council is responsible for the management of approximately 5,800km of local road networks and is dedicated to managing weed and pest animal infestations on council managed land and committed to the early prevention and control of weed species newly identified in the area.
Through past State Government funding initiatives Council has treated approximately 2,200 km of roadsides for Regionally Controlled and Regionally Prohibited weeds and established pest animals. Please refer to Table 1 for a list of current target species. |
Community Consultation
|
Plan was placed on the Buloke Shire Website and copies were sent to all the landcare groups, and community groups in the shire. Meetings and correspondence also occurred to discuss the Plan and community’s needs.

The August financial summary table above reflects the following –
a. Total income excluding government grants
The negative variance occurs largely as a result of the part prepayment of Council’s 2017-18 Victorian Grants Commission Payment in late June 2017. The YTD budget assumed these funds all being received in 2017/18.
b. Total expenses
Positive variance occurs as a result of timing delays.
c. Capital Grant Income
The actual result for capital grant income to the end of August is $153,000. The significant variance in this area, (below budget by $612K to the end of August) has been caused by delays in the grant receipts on the Roads to Recovery and the Lake Tyrrell projects. It is often difficult to predict the timing of capital grant receipts when formulating the budget due the uncertainty associated with the timing of grant approvals.
d. Capital Expenditure
Council has expended $301,000 on capital works during the first two months of the financial year
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 the 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 had a conflict of interest.
8. Conclusion
With two months of the financial year complete Council’s overall operating position is in line with budget. The only material variance is the previously reported timing changes to the receipt Victorian Grants Commission funding. Council held cash and investment assets at the 31 August 2017 of $12.6M. This continues to reflect Council’s strong cash position.

Relevance to Council Plan 2017 - 2021
Strategic Objective: Diversify and enhance our local economy.
|
That Council: 1. Supports the 2030 Greater Victoria Commonwealth Games Bid Project
2. Contribute $1,000 to the Prefeasibility Study
|
The following notice of Motion has been received from Cr Warren.
1. Background
The Greater Shepparton City Council is seeking support for the 2030 Greater Victoria Commonwealth Games Bid Project.
A taskforce has been established and has met with regional Councils in June. The State Government is assembling a dedicated working group to assist with the project. The working group is comprised of representatives from Sport and Recreation Victoria, Regional Development Victoria, Visit Victoria and Department of Premier and Cabinet.
The Hon. John Eren MP, Minister for Sport, Minister for Tourism and Major Events and the Hon. Jaala Pulford MP, Minister for Regional Development have also been briefed.
The scope of the prefeasibility study has been determined via discussions between the State Government working group, the taskforce and discussions with the regional Councils in June 2017. The State Government sees project to be a partnership with Regional Councils and therefore would like to see a financial contribution to the first stage of the project. The State Government anticipates that the prefeasibility study would cost $80,000 and will be contributing $30,000 with Regional Councils to contribute the remaining $50,000.
The State Government is hoping that the prefeasibility study will serve a dual purpose – to determine the validity of the Greater Victoria Commonwealth Games model and to inform the Regional Liveability Strategy.
