Council has adopted the practice of acknowledging the Traditional custodians of Country at events, ceremonies, meetings and functions.

Georges River Council // Delivery Program 2018/19 – 2021/22 // Operational Plan 2021/22

Message from the General Manager

I am pleased to present Georges River Council’s Delivery Program and Operational Plan for 2021/22. This document supports the ongoing delivery of the Georges River Community Strategic Plan 2018-2028 (CSP), which identifies the priorities and aspirations of the community. The Delivery Program is now in the final year of its four-year cycle and contains a number of significant projects for Council in 2021/22, guided by the six pillars which address Council’s social, environmental, economic and civic leadership responsibilities. Over the next year we will continue our focus on the natural environment and will finalise and implement the recommendations of the Waste Minimisation Strategy. We will ensure our Environmental Resilience Strategy is linked to an implementation plan to reduce the risks from climate change impacts on Council assets. Council’s endorsement of a net zero carbon emissions target supported by the 100% renewable energy target will ensure we can prepare, react and adapt to climate change. We will continue to work to ensure all public parks and open spaces are accessible, well maintained and managed to meet the sporting and recreational needs of the current and future communities. The capital budget continues to be closely managed to protect cash reserves, so that they remain available to fund essential operational activities and services. The 2021/22 new capital program will again be funded from grants and developer contributions.

Georges River Council // Delivery Program 2018/19 – 2021/22 // Operational Plan 2021/22

We will continue to collaborate with neighbouring councils to deliver large-scale infrastructure and planning projects and develop economic programs that target the health, retail, construction, education and financial sectors, small to medium and home-based businesses. We will deliver responsive place-based activities across the Georges River LGA to promote the natural environment, improve cleanliness and safety, and connect our diverse community. Our Night Time Economy Study will assist us in delivering programs to activate and increase the night time economy in town centres. This year Council will embark on a significant journey to establish and deliver the Georges River Council Social Justice Charter. The social justice program will tackle barriers to a harmonious community such as racism and inequality; and celebrate the benefits of our diverse community. Council will investigate the provision of services and facilities to support children with additional needs within our Libraries and Children’s Services. Furthermore, in the coming year, Council will embed practices to champion the safety of children within our community. 2021/22 will be a critical year for securing Council’s future. The 2021/22 Budget has been prepared assuming Council receives the approval from the NSW Government (IPART) for the Special Rate Variation. In response to feedback from our community, the Budget also implements a single, fair, equitable and consistent rating system for the entire Georges River Area, ending the inequity that has existed since the 2016 merger.

Gail Connolly General Manager

About this document The Delivery Program and Operational Plan set out how we will deliver the goals and strategies of our inaugural Community Strategic Plan. These documents sit within the Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) Framework that requires us to plan for and report on our ambitions, in consultation with our community (see Figure below). To ensure our long term planning aligns with the current and future needs of the community, the Delivery Program and Operational Plan is reviewed annually. While the Community Strategic Plan is a longer-term representation of the community’s aspirations for the Georges River area, this document brings together: •

the Delivery Program, a four-year program which aligns with the council election cycle. We are now commencing the final year of this four-year program.

•

the Operational Plan, which illustrates Council actions in 2021/22.

We combined these documents to make it easier for everyone to understand our early priorities, and when we expect to commence work on our Delivery Program Actions.

ANNUAL REPORT

Georges River Council // Delivery Program 2018/19 – 2021/22 // Operational Plan 2021/22

How the Documents Relate Our key plans are prepared and updated periodically and are subject to a review following the elections of each new Council.

•

The Asset Management Plan sets out the broad framework for undertaking structured and coordinated management of Council’s infrastructure assets. It outlines key principles that underpin our approach to providing the assets that are essential to our community. The Plan highlights the longterm funding challenges Council must address to meet the commitments outlined in the Community Strategic Plan and deliver the level of service desired by the community over the next 10 years.

•

The Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) presents a financial projection of the longer term outlook of its operations. The LTFP takes into account known and projected events over the next 10 years and compiles the best estimates of its operating results and financial position.

Community Strategic Plan is our highest level plan that we will prepare. The purpose of the plan is to identify the community’s main priorities and aspirations for the future and to identify how to achieve these goals. The Delivery Program 2018-2022 is our four year program that translates the community’s aspirations identified in the Community Strategic Plan into actions and outcomes. The delivery program identifies priority projects and programs and includes key performances indicators and targets that contribute to the outcomes under each Pillar identified in the Community Strategic Plan. Our Operational Plan is prepared and adopted by the end of June each year. It sets out the specific projects, programs and activities to be delivered in that year. Our financial estimates, rating and revenue policies are also included in this document. A Resourcing Strategy spanning a period of 10 years is required as part of the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework. The strategy identifies what elements of the Community Strategic Plan we will take responsibility for and how they will be achieved. The Resourcing Strategy includes five components: •

•

The Workforce Management Plan identifies the people requirements, including skills and employment practices, needed to implement our Delivery Program which is informed by the Community Strategic Plan. The Plan integrates principles of human resource management, workforce planning and capability building. It outlines how we will develop and maintain a highcalibre employee base that meets current and future organisational and community needs. The Digital Resource Management Plan outlines Council’s commitment to utilising the best digital framework possible to enable responsive and timely services and information. Its four year lifespan will ensure that our commitment to digital efficiency and evolution continues throughout the life of the current Resourcing Strategy. It will also support new priorities as they are identified through a review of the Community Strategic Plan and Delivery Program in 2020/2021.

Six pillars to shape our planning We used many opportunities and mechanisms during 2017 to understand the community’s issues and ambitions for the Georges River area, and from this, we identified six pillars that underpin our planning. These six pillars are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

A protected environment and green open spaces. Quality, well planned development. Active and accessible places and spaces. A diverse and productive economy. A harmonious and proud community with strong social services and infrastructure. 6. Leadership and transparency. Where the Community Strategic Plan establishes higher level goals under each of the six pillars and the strategies that will help us all work together to reach these goals, the Delivery Program and Operational Plan translate these goals and strategies into actions that directly influence Council planning. In this respect, our Resourcing Strategy is the final cog in the Framework, setting out the time, money, people and assets that we’ll need to deliver the actions. 11

Our response to the COVID-19 Pandemic Council endorsed the $47 million Economic and Social Recovery program (ESRP) in May 2020. The ESRP comprises three key phases: •

Immediate support: programs either implemented or proposed to occur immediately.

•

Revival: initiatives that either prepare Georges River for a relaxing of restrictions and a full re-opening.

•

Discover Georges River: celebrating the re-opening of Georges River and relaunching the LGA.

With phases one and two either completed or in progress, we are working towards phase three – Discover Georges River which will re-launch Georges River and the wonderful offerings of the LGA for the community and visitors. This phase needs to be timed with full or adequate relaxing of Public Health Orders. As with phase two, as more information comes to light, these initiatives can be adapted. In the first instance, this phase will focus on events and activations, advocacy, city branding and marketing.

Financial estimates About the 2021/22 Budget The 2021/22 budget is an important year for Council and the community. The budget has been prepared with a focus on the feedback received from the Community during our New Rates 2021 consultation. It has incorporated the service standards that are expected, identified savings, and assumes the special rate variation. Without the special rate variation, Council’s future would be at risk, with immediate staff and service reductions being required. The 2021/22 budget is a considered budget that places Council on the path to securing its long-term financial sustainability in future years. The Capital budget has been prioritised to focus on grant and contribution funded projects along with high priority critical asset renewal. Council’s operating cash contribution continues to be reduced to protect cash reserves, so that cash remains available to fund essential community services. Key aspects of the budget include: • New or renewed community assets to the value of $40 million. Highlights include: » Hurstville Golf Course Clubhouse project » Mortdale Shopping Centre Streetscape » Fleet and Plant Replacement Program » Road Re-sheeting Program » Critical Safety and Asset Renewal program » Decontamination and Remediation of the Kogarah War Memorial Site » Storm water Drainage Critical Program » Footpath Critical Safety Program •

Implementation of productivity improvements and cost efficiencies identified in the adopted IPART application continues

•

No reduction in grants or subsidies to community groups

•

Retention of the expiring former Hurstville Special Rate Variation (announcement from the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) due May 2021).

•

Application of the New Rates 2021 Special Rate Variation to increase rate income, which includes retention of the expiring former Hurstville Special Rate Variation (announcement from the (IPART) due May 2021).

•

Expansion of Council hardship payment support options

•

Segregation of funds to ensure footpaths, playgrounds, building, roads, stormwater and other key assets are repaired and renewed. 65

•

No new loan borrowings

•

Employee costs budget target with the annual award increase of 2% being absorbed by the application of savings strategy

•

Reduction in consultancies through a greater investment in-house skills

•

Strict application of the pricing methodology to fees and charges with an aim of cost recovery

•

Depreciation increase due to the construction of new assets and rising cost of replacement

•

Continued obligation to repay the Mortdale Jubilee Community Centre external loan ($500,000 annual repayment from general revenue)

•

The scheduled 2021 Election of $1 million has been funded

•

Anticipated costs associated with debt recovery as a result of COVID-19 impacts

•

Disposal of underperforming assets, including plant and properties to offset loss of income due to COVID-19 and investment interest income drop ($3.3 million income)

•

Deferral of capital projects such as the new skate park, public art program, synthetic fields program, LED Streetlight Upgrade, new footpath construction, San Souci Bathers Pavilion construction, Hurstville Civic Precinct development, etc.

Based on this approach the adopted forecast deficit of $12 million has been reduced to a projected deficit of $4.5 million, which aligns to the recommended model in the Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP), that will place Council on the path to financial sustainability. Full details of Council’s 10 years LTFP, which includes the new draft budget result, are outlined in the Resourcing Strategy.

In preparing the draft 2021/22 Budget some difficult decisions have been required to secure Council’s financial sustainability. Council has an adopted forecasted operating deficit (before capital grants) for 2021/22 of $12 million. Therefore, in order to minimise Council’s projected operating deficit, protect cash reserves and weather any continued adverse impacts of COVID-19, $6 million worth of operational programs project, services and $350 million in capital projects being deferred, reduced or deleted. Major items include: • Reduction in employee costs, i.e. no increase budgeted for the mandated annual Award increase, maintaining the vacancy rate, recruitment holding periods, annual Christmas close down •

Continued removal of staff benefits such as the all-staff conference, Learning and Development program and removal of the Christmas period grant days

•

Reduction of the Councillor Discretionary Ward fund

•

Continuation of the removal of the additional voluntary Pensioner Rebate

•

Deferral of operational projects such as the Local Environment Plan Stage 2, Environmental Resilience Strategy (Clean energy and climate change), Biodiversity Strategy, Beverly Hills Masterplan, etc.

Rating and Revenue Policies Rating Structure

Postponement of rates

Council’s rate revenue is regulated by the NSW Government and this arrangement is known as rate pegging. Rate pegging limits the amount that Council can increase its total annual rate revenue from one year to the next.

Where a property is used as a single dwelling but, due to zoning or permitted use has a land value that reflects the potential use rather than the actual use, we will provide a postponement of rates in accordance with section 591 of the LG Act. These postponed rates, together with the accrued interest, are abandoned after five years unless the use of the property changes; at that point the rates become payable.

Since May 2016 Georges River Council has been required to operate two separate rating systems, these being the former Kogarah and former Hurstville councils. On 1 July 2021 Georges River Council is required to have one rating system for the entire Local Government Area (LGA). The former Hurstville Council’s rate path included an expiring Special Rate Variation (SRV). The Special Rate Variation - Infrastructure Plus has been in place since 2006/07 and will expire in 2021/22. This will result in a decline to Council’s Rate Revenue of $2.3 million. Funds from Infrastructure Plus have been used to fund costs associated with infrastructure maintenance and renewal.

Non-rateability Council deems land to be non-rateable strictly in accordance with Sections 555 and 556 of the LG Act.

On 8 February 2021, Council approved for a submission to be made to the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) to retain the expiring former Hurstville SRV, increase Council’s total rate income over the next five years above the rate peg, whilst implementing a single, fair, equitable and consistent rating system for the entire Georges River Area.

Land Values Each year the annual rate revenue distribution is calculated based on a property’s latest valuation received from the NSW Valuer-General. Council cannot make and levy a rate in respect of a parcel of land unless furnished with a valuation of that land under the Valuation Land Act 1916 Every three years, the NSW Valuer General provides new land values for Council to use in calculating and distributing rates. For 2021/22 rating year, Council will be applying the new land values undertaken on 1 July 2019. Changes to land valuations will impact on the distribution of rates payable by individual households or businesses. Though, increases/decreases in land values do not necessarily lead to similar increases/ decreases in rates, as land values are used to fairly distribute and calculate Councils annual rate revenue across ratepayers. Overall, land values decreased across NSW by 5.4% to $1.73 trillion in the 12 months to 1 July 2019.

Debt Management and Hardship policy Pensioner rebate policy Holders of a Pensioner Concession Card who own and occupy a rateable property are eligible for a pensioner concession. The Local Government Act provides for a pension rebate of up to 50 per cent of the aggregated ordinary rates and domestic waste management service charges, to a maximum of $250. Under the State's mandatory Pensioner Concession Scheme, the State Government reimburses Council 55% of the rates and charges written off and Council funds the remaining 45%. Council has approximately 8,000 properties that receive a pensioner concession on their rates. Pensioner concessions are expected to total $2 million in 2021/22. The 55 per cent pensioner subsidy received from the NSW Government will amount to approximately $1.1 million.

Interest accrues daily on rates and charges that remain unpaid after they become due and payable.
