2023/24

Foreward The Plan has been publicly exhibited prior to adoption and details the activities and actions that will be delivered or commenced before 30 June 2024. We have allocated responsibilities and budgets for projects, programs and actions, identified what services will be reviewed and included a Capital Works Program valued at $210M and a Statement of Revenue Policy. A Capital Works Program valued at $210M is record breaking for Clarence Valley Council. We’ve previously said our capacity to deliver is much lower. However in the past year, on the back of 2022 flood and storm event, we have

Laura Black Laura Black General Manager

been successful in engaging a reliable team of contractors to increase our capacity and meet the challenge of delivery. While the works are scheduled in the current year program, they will be delivered over two years. In addition, we have identified how the projects, programs and actions link to the Delivery Program and themes of the Community Strategic Plan. On page 28, you will find a guide on how to read the Plan. The bushfire, storm and flood natural disasters

This Operational Plan 2023/2024 (the Plan) is the second in a series of three that aims to meet the strategies developed by the 2021 elected Council, as identified in the 2022/2025 Delivery Program. We are now also in our second year of our journey to meet the standards of the new Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework for Operational Plans, so you’ll see some more changes from last year. To better articulate what actions are achieving, they are now aligned against strategies of the Delivery Program, progress against which is reported every six months.

and health pandemic of the past three years followed by stimulus funding has seen local government in receipt of record grant allocations from the State and Federal Governments, and Clarence Valley Council is one of those recipients. 2023/2024 sees us deliver grant funded projects to a value of $153M on top of the general, water and sewer, holiday park and waste funded activities. The Plan covers both the recurrent activities that occur every year, such as managing corporate governance arrangements, compliance activities

and maintenance programs, as well as special non-recurrent projects, such as delivering particular construction projects. We also aim to engage community in decision-making by facilitating a number of Advisory Committees to the Council, including the Access, Climate Change and Floodplain Risk Management; Coast and Estuary; Sports; Economic Development and Tourism; Biodiversity; Community and Culture; and Aboriginal advisory committees. Over the next 12 months major construction projects will commence, including the Yamba Community Precinct, the Cultural and Community Centre in Maclean and the Regional Aquatic Centre in Grafton. We’ll also continue the highpriority pedestrian footpaths from the Pedestrian and Access Mobility Plan (PAMP), community hall upgrades, and construction of 12 bridges under the Fixing Country Bridgesk program Round 1 having completed 19 of the total of 31 in the prior year. 2023/2024 is the year that residents will start to see significant roads works commencing across the local government area as we deliver the equivalent of 16 years of upgrades and road improvements in two years. At the same time, we will implement an Urban Stormwater Maintenance program funded by the newly implemented Stormwater Management Service Charge. While much of the investigation has commenced, there is still a lot to be completed, but works to unblock and re-establish stormwater channels in urban areas will make a significant difference to ponding in future rain and storm events. Another new initiative that will be welcomed by community is the establishment of our flying squad Town and Beautification team. The team will include new roles at Council and once

established will attend to jack of all trade-type activities to return towns and villages to their shiny best. This year we will continue our senior management community engagement program, making ourselves more accessible for conversations with community, and we will commence a community discussion about water filtration and the cost to community of progressing. We are also this year undertaking the Environmental Impact Assessment required to implement water filtration. Both of these actions will inform the decision to proceed. The celebration of significant dates and achievements is important to us. In 2023/2024, we will celebrate citizenship ceremonies, Youth Week, Seniors Week, NAIDOC and our end-ofyear staff achievement and development day, to name a few. We will host exhibitions and festivals, implement a community engagement program and continue to deliver our new CVC magazine. Underpinning all of this is our continuous improvement program to upgrade our corporate systems to increase our efficiency and make doing business with us easier for customers. Local government is like no other business; it is complex and diverse, and as you can see, we have another huge year ahead of us. A community of opportunity is what we are working towards, and we value the partnerships that we form as we achieve the goals of the Community Strategic Plan. We aim to make a positive difference to those who choose to live, work or visit the Clarence Valley. Have a read of our Plan and see what we have in store to meet the aspirations identified in the Community Strategic Plan for 2023/2024.

Operational Plan

2023/24

Our Vision To make the Clarence Valley a community full of opportunity.

Clarence Valley Council

Our Values

We have a safety focused workplace culture to ensure the wellbeing of our staff and the community

We work together as one council towards shared goals and for the greater good of the community

We are inclusive, treat people with courtesy and fairness, and ensure each individual is valued and heard

We behave in a way that is honest, open, and transparent. We will take responsibility for our actions and strive for excellence

We deliver services efficiently, effectively, and in an environmentally and financially sustainable manner

We engage with our staff and community to inform our decision making, and create awareness of our activities

Operational Plan

2023/24

Our plan The actions in this Operational Plan are projects and initiatives that Council will undertake in 2023/2024 to achieve the Delivery Program 2022/2025 and the Community Strategic Plan (CSP), The Clarence 2032. The actions are organised within the five themes of the CSP, linked to an objective from the CSP and strategies from the Delivery Program.

Five Strategic Themes Society Creating a place where people are healthy, safe, connected and in harmony with the natural environment to retain and improve the quality of community life.

Infrastructure Maintaining our diverse infrastructure base to serve the needs of the Clarence.

Economy Strengthening and diversifying the region’s economic base in a way that complements the environmental and social values of the Clarence.

Environment Valuing, respecting and actively participating in the care and management of the Clarence’s natural environment for current and future generations.

Leadership Setting the overall direction and long-term goals for the Clarence in accordance with community aspirations.

Clarence Valley Council

Integrated Planning and Reporting The Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) framework guides the way local government plans, documents and reports its future strategies. The IP&R Framework begins with the community’s aspirations for a period of least 10 years, considered by each newly elected council and which is underpinned by a suite of integrated plans that set out a vision and objectives and hones down to specific actions to achieve those aspirations. It involves a reporting structure to communicate progress to council and the community as well as a structured timeline for review to ensure the goals and actions are still relevant.

Operational Plan

2023/24

Our planning framework Community Engagement Strategy The Community Engagement Strategy is based on social justice principles and details how we engage with our community to prepare the Community Strategic Plan.

Community Strategic Plan ‘The Clarence 2032’ The Community Strategic plan is the overarching document for all plans and policies of the Council. It identifies the community’s aspirations and priorities for the future of the local government area. It creates the vision we are working toward.

Delivery Program The Delivery Program is the key directional document for the term of the elected council. It is developed by a newly elected council and adopted before the end of June in the year following the election. It presents as a statement of commitment to the community by outlining the focus the council intends to contribute toward achieving the long term aspirational goals of the community as identified in the Community Strategic Plan.

Clarence Valley Council

Resourcing Strategy Without sufficient resources - money, people and assets, the objectives of the Operational Plan cannot be achieved. The Resourcing Strategy consists of three components:

Long Term Financial Plan A ten year financial plan, often presented as more than one scenario that informs decision making and planning.

Workforce Management Strategy A minimum four year strategy that addresses the human resourcing needs and challenges of the organisation in achieving goals.

Asset Management Strategy A minimum ten year strategy that is supported by Asset Management Plans that details the management and maintenance strategies for assets within the ownership of Council.

Operational Plan Supporting the Delivery Program is an annual Operational Plan prepared by the General Manager and staff. The Operational Plan defines quite specifically how the commitments of the Delivery Program will be achieved by detailing what the organisation will deliver where, how delivery will be resourced, at what cost and who is accountable for action as well as how performance is measured. The Operational Plan is a document of organisational accountability. The Operational Plan is intrinsically linked to staff performance with outcomes reflected in individual workplans. The Clarence Valley Council’s Operational Plan is prepared by the organisation’s leadership team in consultation with coordinators of teams and staff who delivery services and activities. Included in the Operational Plan is the actions planned for 2023/2024 to achieve the strategies in the Delivery Program, the Capital Works Program, Revenue Policy and Budget 2023/2024.

Capital Works Program (CWP) Capital works are projects that upgrade and renew our infrastructure. They include such things as road improvements, resurfacing, intersection upgrades, shared pathways, drainage improvements, new facilities such as community centre, playgrounds, libraries. This year the CWP is more than $210 million. This year the CWP is projected over four years. Capital works can take a number of years to progress from planning to completion.

Revenue Policy As outlined in Section 405 of the Local Government Act 1993, Council presents its Revenue Policy. The revenue Policy ensures fair and equitable levying of rates and charges in order to provide sufficient funding to carry out services for the benefit of all ratepayers of the Clarence Valley Government Area

Budget Council generates income to fund services and assets for the Valley through rates on property, developer contributions, interest on investments, government grants, users charges and business activities. This year Council’s adopted original budget is a deficit of $55,526.

Categorisation

Council levies property rates in accordance

The Local Government Act requires that all rateable

properties be categorised as one of four categories

Act. Each property that is rateable has a rate

of ordinary rates based on the dominant use of the

levied which is either a minimum rate or a base

property.

charge plus ad valorem rate. The Act allows a number of variations on how rates can be levied and to understand the difference it is handy to understand the following terms:

Unimproved Capital Value (UCV)

This is the value of a parcel of land, as

are not categorised according to the dominant use

Ad Valorem (On the Value) Rate This is the rate in the $ based on a property’s UCV. For instance, a rate in the $ rate of 0.5184 means a property is rated 51.84 cents for every $100 UCV.

Minimum Rate Council can also charge a minimum rate, which means that if the rate applicable under the ad valorem rate is less than the minimum, then the minimum will be charged.

Base Rate In addition to an ad valorem rate, Council can also charge a base rate which when added to the ad valorem rate gives the applicable rate. The levying of a base rate tends to nullify the effects of wide variations in the movement of the property values. It assumes that all properties benefit from the availability of services and facilities provided by the Council.

of the property.

Valuations Rates are calculated on the land value of a property, multiplied by a ‘rate in the dollar’. The land value is determined by the NSW Valuer General who issues a Notice of Valuation at least every three years. The Valuation of Land Act 1916 requires that Council assess rates using the most recent values provided. For the 2023/2024 rating year, the valuation base date will be 1 July 2022.

1. Properties within a pressure sewer zone are charged $25 less than properties in a gravity sewer zone to reflect the average cost of pressure pump electricity consumption which is paid for by the property 2. The non-residential sewer charge is the sum of the access charge and the generation charge, with a minimum charge of the residential charge ($1,276 for 2023/2024). As meters are read three times per year, the minimum non-residential charge will be calculated on an equivalent charge of $3.49 per day. 3. Residential properties are charged the Sewer Residential Connected Charge per connection or separate occupation, within the Sewerage Access area and connected to the sewer. In respect of Residential Flat Buildings or properties under separate occupation, the sewer residential connected charge will be equal to the number of residential flats or separate occupation multiplied by the Sewer Residential Connected Charge for a single connection. 4. Properties exempt from Ordinary Rates in accordance with the Local Government Act are charged the Non-Rateable Sewer Connection Charge per connection or separate occupation, within the Sewerage Access area and connected to the sewer. In respect of Residential Flat Buildings or properties under separate occupation, the Non-Rateable Sewer Connection Charge will be equal to the number of residential flats or separate occupation multiplied by the Non-Rateable Sewer Connection Charge for a single connection.

Full Cost Pricing - Fees are set to enable the recovery of all direct and indirect costs involved in the provision of a service.

Subsidised Pricing - Fees and charges are set at a level that recovers less than the full cost incurred in service delivery. In effect some level of subsidisation is factored into the price.

Market Pricing - Fees and charges are based on current market fee structures. The market price is usually determined by examining competitors’ prices and may have little relationship to the cost of providing the service.

Statutory Pricing - Fees and charges are set to comply with statutory legislation.
