Message from the Mayor

I am proud to present Georges River Council’s Delivery Program 20222026 and Operational Plan 20222023 and Budget for the 2022-2023 financial year. This document sets out the goals, strategies and actions for the year to come. The COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters affecting our area have had a significant impact on the entire Georges River area and have presented many challenges. However, our residents and businesses have demonstrated a resilience and willingness to maintain a strong sense of community. The Georges River Local Government Area is not only important to our local

lifestyle, but our strategic centres of Hurstville and Kogarah make us vital to Sydney’s future. Our area has proven highly liveable and our growing green canopy has ensured that the ‘heat island effect’ is not extreme in our area. Our transport corridors have proven to be adequate when people are using a combination of working from home and going to their place of work but need better connections to working hubs such as Parramatta in the future. Transport projects are a major part of our advocacy agenda. Our Delivery Program includes a mix of economic, social and environmental programs whilst ensuring responsible corporate governance and financial management. I look forward to implementing these actions for the future of our community.

Message from the Acting General Manager efficiencies to deliver within existing resources. We will continue to work to ensure all public parks and open spaces are accessible, well maintained and managed to meet the recreational needs of current and future residents.

I am pleased to present Georges River Council’s Delivery Program 2022-2026 and Operational Plan 2022/23. This document has been created to support our Community Strategic Plan (CSP) which identifies the community’s main priorities and aspirations over the next ten years. The Georges River area is one of the most beautiful areas within Greater Sydney. Its unique location presents the community with a wonderful array of opportunities which was reflected in feedback provided during the development of our CSP. The community wants more trees planted and to see more greening of our local areas, including our town centres. Our community appreciates and want more upgraded open space, parks, safe cycling and walkability options. Protection of the Georges River area heritage and history, activating our town centres and providing local jobs was also important to many residents. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, more residents are working from home and Council anticipates this will be ongoing. The community wants to continue using our local parks and being able to shop locally which signals an opportunity for renaissance for our local centres and continued high use of our parks and open space. During 2022/23 maintaining services is a key focus of Council and to this end we will continue to find further operating

Despite resource constraints within council, a challenging external environment and an increase in service expectations Council remains committed to its long-term financial sustainability. A requirement of our approved special rate variation from IPART is to substantially maintain our service standards whilst identifying an additional $12 million in cost containment and productivity efficiencies over the next three years. The 2022/23 Budget will be the first year Council is forecast to achieve a surplus and difficult prioritisation of valued services, projects and programs will be essential to achieve financial sustainability and compliance with our legislative obligations. In the 2020/21 financial year, Council applied for and received 51 operational and capital grants totalling $18 million. Council’s commitment to seeking and applying for external grants to bring additional income for our projects will continue this year. Grant based income enables us to deliver planned projects sooner and offer free community events. Council remains on track with its financial strategy and despite the extensive and ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters, remains in a strong position to deliver the services our community values.

About this document The Delivery Program and Operational Plan set out how we will deliver the goals and strategies of our Community Strategic Plan. These documents sit within the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework that requires us to plan for and report on our ambitions, in consultation with our community (see figure below). 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 that covers the term of the Council. To create the Program, we reviewed the Community Strategic Plan to ascertain what we could achieve over the next four years to meet the aspirational needs of the community. Although this is a four-year program, with the postponement of the 2020 local government elections, this Delivery Program will need to be reviewed after three years in line with the local government election cycle.

•

the Operational Plan is the first year of the Delivery Program 2022-2026 and outlines the actions that will be undertaken, measures for each action, accountable business units and a reference to the Community Strategic Plan strategies to which the action is contributing.

Progress of actions identified in the Operational Plan are reported to council every six months. An annual report is also prepared that reflects and reports on Council’s overall performance for the financial year.

Financial estimates About the 2022/23 Budget The Long-Term Financial Plan (LTFP) forms part of the Resourcing Strategy and is essential for informing decision-making during the preparation and finalisation of the Community Strategic Plan and the development of the Delivery Program. As per the relevant legislation, financial decision making is to give due consideration to promoting the financial sustainability of the council through: ▪ the progressive elimination of operating deficits ▪ the establishment of a clear revenue path for all rates linked to specific expenditure proposals ▪ ensuring that any proposed increase in services and/or assets is within the financial means of the council including a proposed special rate variation ▪ ensuring the adequate funding of infrastructure maintenance and renewal ▪ the use of borrowing is appropriate and financially responsible, and ▪ the fair and equitable distribution of the rate burden across all rate payers. This LTFP has been developed based on the 2022/23 Budget Strategy and the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) approval for a special rate variation. A requirement of our approved special rate variation from IPART is to identify $12 million in cost containment and efficiencies over the next three years. The 2022/23 Budget will be the first year Council is forecast to achieve a surplus and difficult prioritisation of valued services, projects and programs will be essential in achieving financial sustainability and compliance with Council legislative obligations. In order to achieve the $1.9 million surplus target, a cost reduction strategy has been applied to both employee costs and materials and contracts. This strategy aims to reduce expenditure by $8 million. The projected employee cost on the current staff establishment was in excess of $5.3 million above the LTFP target whilst materials and contracts and other expenses was in excess of $1.7 million of the target. Projected income based on current council

policies was trending $900,000 below the target. This resulted in a $ 8 million gap. Council feedback historically has not been supportive of a reduction in full time equivalent (FTE) staff. Therefore, to maintain the current staff establishment (FTE) and achieve the $1.9 million surplus, the budget has been prepared on the following strategy: ▪ The draft 2022/23 budget has been prepared with the objective of achieving an operating surplus with future years projection as per the adopted LTFP. ▪ Prepared in accordance with the IPART approval - find and maintain savings of $4 million each year for the next three years (i.e. these cuts to expenditure cannot be reintroduced in future years). ▪ Service levels have been capped to align with constrained resources and achieve the operating surplus adopted in the LTFP. ▪ Award increase is 2% ($1.3 million), plus Superannuation increase 0.5% ($350,000 annually), plus Councillor allowances and superannuation increase ($60,000 annually). ▪ Union advocacy includes request for additional staffing levels and resourcing to cope with the significant increase in workload since 2020/2021. ▪ The employee costs reduction strategy continues to include a 5-7% vacancy rate and a 16-week recruitment hold to achieve the operating surplus adopted in the LTFP. ▪ Two-week Christmas shutdown that excludes the provision of three grant days ($600,000). ▪ A $4.5 million reduction across the overall materials and contracts budget (i.e. consultancies, professional services, contractors for trees, maintenance, cleansing etc.). ▪ Budgeted for final repayment of the Mortdale Jubilee Community Centre loan. ▪ The approved Special Rate Variation (SRV) has been applied. ▪ Standard CPI increase of 3.5% has been applied across materials, services and expenses (note: current trends are indicating large increases in labour, materials, fuel costs etc.).

▪ The introduction of a Ratepayer Rebate Program was considered but not included as inclusion would not enable Council to achieve the terms of the IPART approval. ▪ Income projections are based on business as usual and do not include further COVID-19 or natural disaster implications. ▪ Subsidies are proposed to be applied to Council’s premium facilities, commercial, community facilities, consistent with previous years and COVID-19 recovery programs. ▪ Investment interest income has been projected to increase based on an assumed improvement in rate of return. ▪ Domestic waste charges remain at 2021/22 levels.

▪ Over $10 million in operational costs have been deferred/removed/reduced in 2022/23. ▪ Budget bids have been selected and prioritised based on legislative, strategic and safety drivers. ▪ Implementation of productivity improvements and cost efficiencies identified in the adopted IPART application continues. ▪ The 2022/23 Capital budget will have a large carryover of projects from 2021/22, due to COVID-19 impacts, cost and time variations and heavy rainfall over the quarter three period. ▪ The capital program has been formulated based on the following criteria: a) Must ensure program aligns to the Long-Term Financial Plan ($35 million per year)

▪ The mandatory (legislated) pensioner rebate has been increased to $1 million

b) Have an eligible funding source

▪ Depreciation is forecast to increase by $800,000 due to the rising cost of replacement, though this figure may be impacted by the most recent natural disaster and asset condition deterioration.

c) Aligns to strategic asset management principles d) Link to a Masterplan and/or adopted Strategic Plan

▪ Eligible Fees and Charges have been set at a 3-5% increase. ▪ Council’s rates default level has been assumed to not return to pre COVID-19 levels as high inflation is likely to impact cost of living and overdue rates. ▪ The Councillor Discretionary Ward fund has not been included as part of the budget strategy. ▪ Continued anticipated legal costs ($1.2 million) for the ongoing ICAC Investigation have been included. ▪ Disposal of underperforming/end of life assets (plant). ▪ Insurance premiums have been set to increase based on natural disaster, cost of replacement, etc. ▪ Community and sporting group rental subsidies remain unchanged ($1.5 million in forgone income). ▪ Venue hire program remains unchanged ($420,000 in forgone income).

e) Consideration of environmental factors ▪

Over $400 million in capital projects have been deferred

Full details of Council’s 10 years LTFP, which includes the budget result, are outlined in the Resourcing Strategy. On 27 June 2022, Council resolved to reintroduce and adopt a number of budget changes, resulting in a reduction of the target surplus from $1.9 million to $1.2 million.

Capital Program 2021/22 has been an unusual year with external unforeseen events impacting the capital program and contributing to significant delays. These delays will result in approximately $20 to $25 million of the 2021/22 Capital Program Budget being carried over into 2022/23. The main contributors of these delays are as follows:

▪ Childcare fees have been set to comply with the Childcare Policy of cost neutral operating budget.

▪ Public Health Order lock down on construction activities across the Georges River Council Local Government Area (LGA)

▪ Strategic compulsory land acquisitions have been included as per the gazetted LEP.

▪ Georges River Council (LGA) declared a

natural disaster zone from the NSW February 2022 floods ▪ The summer and autumn period has had the highest rainfall in over 30 years and above average rainfall is forecast to continue for April and June 2022. ▪ Staffing constraints with an average of 30% of impacted by isolation requirements and sick leave. ▪ Cost of material variances due to supply shortages.

▪ Plant and Light Vehicle Fleet Replacement ▪ Road Re-sheeting Program ▪ Community Asset Critical Safety Program ▪ Footpath Critical Safety Program ▪ Buildings Asset Critical Safety and Renewal Program ▪ Recreation Asset Critical Safety and Renewal Program ▪ Traffic Facilities Construction and Upgrade Program

The new program has been developed by established clear priorities. All projects included in the 2022/23 Capital Program:

▪ Stormwater Drainage Critical Program

▪ Align to the Resourcing Strategy 2021/22 and Long Term Financial Plan

▪ Land acquisitions for open space

▪ Have an identified eligible funding source(s) ▪ Adhere to strategic asset management principles and practices ▪ Link to a Plan of Management (POM), Master Plan, Council Strategy/Plan and/or Stakeholder Plan ▪ Support Council’s recently adopted Environmental Resilience Action Plan 20222040 The majority of Council’s current and anticipated cash flow is restricted. Funding of the new capital program is dependent on restricted reserves and external grants. To meet the eligibility for funding for restricted cash the project/expenditure must comply with the prescribed/legislated use of the restrictions cash reserves. Council officers plan to continue applying for grants from the State and Federal government in order to secure funding for currently unfunded projects. Funding for the 2022/23 program is predominantly based on grant funding, developer contributions and external reserves, with use of general revenue focused on roads and critical safety program items and capitalised salaries. The 2022/23 Capital Program will focus on the delivery of $27.3 million in new/renewed community infrastructure projects. With the carryovers from 2021/22, the program is projected reach $47-$50 million in quarter 1 2022/23. The following new projects have been proposed:

▪ Annual Information Management and Technology and Library Resource Renewal ▪ Information Management and Technology (Cyber Security, computer/device hardware and software implementation). The following projects have been highlighted as anticipated carryovers from 2021/22, largely due to the impact of unforeseen events (Note: final carryovers amounts will be confirmed in the first quarter review in 2022/23): ▪ Gannons Park Works – Final Stage ▪ Hurstville Golf Course Clubhouse ▪ Hurstville Oval Cricket Pavilion ▪ Mortdale Shopping Centre Streetscape ▪ Olds Park Recreational and Sporting Hardscape Precinct ▪ Hardiman Reserve (former Oatley Bowling Club site) Master Plan Works ▪ Hurstville Revitalisation Program ▪ Kogarah War Memorial Pool Site Decontamination and Remediation ▪ Poulton Park naturalisation and carpark upgrade ▪ Hurstville Golf Course New Clubhouse ▪ Waterway Improvement Harold Fraser Oval / Parkside Drive ▪ Hurstville Plaza - Ausgrid additional works and restorations

Rating and Revenue Policies Rating Structure 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. Any increases above the rate peg, require approval by the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) and are known as a Special Rate Variation. Following extensive consultation with the community over a number of years and Council received formal approval from IPART on its New Rates application in May 2021. The New Rates application included: ▪ Retaining the expiring former Hurstville City Council’s Special Rate Variation ▪ Increasing Council’s total rate income over the next five years to maintain service standards (5.8% per year for five years) ▪ A single, fair, equitable and consistent rating system for the entire Georges River Area. ▪ Identifying $12 million in ongoing savings over the next three years ($4 million per year). Alternatives to the New Rates application were explored with the community and Council. There was no support for a larger increase, a reduction in services and/or reduction of staff levels. The rate increase was the only feasible option to maintain existing levels of service. As without the rate increase, Council’s financial position was significantly challenged. Any new/expanded services, a larger capital works program or additional staffing level would require an additional SRV, or corresponding reduction to the current service portfolio/levels to offset.

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.

Postponement of rates 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

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

Rate Structure Summary The following table provides a summary of the 2022/23 rates structure. It shows the number of rateable properties within each of the rating categories (and subcategory), listed according to those to be rated at the minimum amount, the rate in the dollar applicable to the category.

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 2022/23 rating year, Council

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%.

Interest on Overdue Rates Council must set the interest payable on overdue rates and charges for 2022/23 in accordance with section 566(3) of the LG Act. Council will apply the maximum rate (6%) as set by the Minister for Local Government, for interest payable on overdue rates and charges. Interest accrues daily on rates and charges that remain unpaid after they become due and payable.

Hardship Assistance Council recognises that the current health crisis is causing financial hardship to many residents and businesses within our community. Council has a Debt Management and Hardship Policy to support the community during these unforeseen events. The following assistance options can be sought through an application to Council. ▪ Extension of due date and interest free periods ▪ Development of a payment plan, instalment plans or deferral plans ▪ Waiving or reducing accrued interest For businesses renting the property and seeking rates relief– you will require your landlord to apply to Council for hardship assistance.
