ADOPTED INFRASTRUCTURE CHARGES RESOLUTION (NO.1) 2015

DOCUMENT INFORMATION

MEETING:

Ordinary

MEETING DATE:

17 June 2015

REPORT OFFICER’S TITLE: Senior Planner DEPARTMENT:

Corporate and Community Services

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.1) 2015 for Council's consideration and endorsement. Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.1) 2015 forms Attachment 1 of this report. OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION "That Council under section 630 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 adopt Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.1) 2015 to have effect on and from 1 July 2015." BACKGROUND Local governments may, by resolution, adopt charges for providing trunk infrastructure for development. They can also levy different infrastructure charge amounts for local government areas and provide for the indexation of a levied charge. To do this, a local government needs to pass an adopted infrastructure charges resolution (AICR) as set out in Section 631 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 (SPA). Mareeba Shire Council passed such a AICR on 2 January 2014 and this resolution remains valid until 30 June 2015. All local governments will be required to adopt a new AICR before 1 July 2015 if they want to continue to levy infrastructure charges. Specifically, the new AICR must be updated to include:  a method for working out the cost of the infrastructure that is the subject of an offset or refund (recalculation method)  criteria for deciding a conversion application (conversion criteria) P&E Law were engaged to draft a suitable resolution for adoption (Attachment 1).

Wednesday 17 June 2015

Infrastructure charges can be set equal to or below the maximum adopted charge in the State Planning Regulatory Provisions (Adopted Charges) 2012. Mareeba Shire's infrastructure charges are approximately 60% of the State's maximum allowable charges. Where an established Mareeba Shire infrastructure charge exists for a development type, this charge has been carried forward into the new AICR. Where a charge is not currently established, the infrastructure charge included in the AICR is set at 60% of the maximum adopted charge in the State Planning Regulatory Provisions (Adopted Charges) 2012. The Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution will apply to new development within the priority infrastructure areas of Mareeba, Kuranda, Dimbulah and Chillagoe. LINK TO CORPORATE PLAN GOV 1 - Develop an achievable long term financial plan that underpins Council's long-term financial sustainability. CONSULTATION Internal Director Infrastructure Services External P&E Law LEGAL AND RISK IMPLICATIONS (STATUTORY BASIS, LEGAL AND RISKS) Council will not be able to levy new infrastructure charges from 1 July 2015 if a new AICR is not adopted. POLICY IMPLICATIONS Adoption of the Adopted Infrastructure Charges Resolution (No.1) 2015 will allow Mareeba Shire Council to continue to levy infrastructure charges for assessable development within the priority infrastructure areas beyond 1 July 2015. The new AICR is a framework to continue the established infrastructure charging arrangements and is not intended as a mechanism to increase the current infrastructure charge rates. Council officers will monitor the implementation of the AICR to ensure there are no unintended increases. FINANCIAL & RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS Capital Nil Operating Nil

GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE ITEM-2

ANNUAL REPORT 2013/2014 FINANCIAL YEAR

DOCUMENT INFORMATION

MEETING:

Ordinary

MEETING DATE:

17 June 2015

REPORT OFFICER’S TITLE: Manager Development & Governance DEPARTMENT:

Corporate and Community Services

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Local Government Regulation 2012 requires that each local government must prepare an annual report for each financial year and must adopt the annual report within one month after the day the Auditor-General gives the Auditor-General's audit report about the local government's financial statements for the financial year to the local government. A draft annual report was submitted to the Council meeting on 18 February 2015, however, at that stage, Council was still awaiting a decision by the Minister for Local Government on the opening cash balances of the de-amalgamated councils, which could not be agreed at Transfer Committee level. A decision has now been made by the Minister in relation to the opening cash balances and while Tablelands Regional Council has lodged an appeal in relation to that decision, this Council has accepted the Minister's decision and finalised its annual financial statements (and annual report) accordingly. The final annual report is now presented for adoption by Council. OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION "That the final annual report for the 2013-14 financial year, as attached, be adopted." BACKGROUND Council is required by section 182 of the Local Government Regulation 2012 to prepare and adopt an annual report. Adoption of the annual report is normally required within one month of receiving the Auditor-General's final sign off of the audited annual financial statements. A draft Annual Report was submitted to the Council meeting on 18 February 2015 and the following resolution adopted: "That the draft annual report for the 2013-14 financial year be adopted and released for public information as an interim report with the proviso that the annual financial statements contained therein have been prepared and audited based on assumed opening cash balances which may require adjustment once a determination has been made by the Minister for Local Government with respect to those opening balances. The final annual

Page 49


Mareeba Shire Council - Agenda

Wednesday 17 June 2015

report will be made available to the community once the opening balances have been determined and the audit completed." A decision on the opening cash balances following de-amalgamation has now been made by the Minister for Local Government and while Tablelands Regional Council has lodged an appeal in relation to that decision, Mareeba Shire has accepted the Minister's determination and finalised its annual financial statements and annual report accordingly. The final annual report is now presented for adoption by Council.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to provide Council with an overview of financial matters for the period 1 July 2014 to 31 May 2015. OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION "That Council note the financial report for the period ending 31 May 2015" BACKGROUND Financial Summary Each month, year to date financial statements are prepared in order to monitor actual performance against budgets. For the period ending 31 May 2015, Council shows an operational surplus of $8,263,965 compared to a budgeted YTD surplus of $7,890,693. The budget now reflects the Three Month Budget Review as adopted by Council at the 17 December 2014 meeting. One-off de-amalgamation costs for the purpose of this report are excluded. These costs are funded from the Queensland Treasury Corporation Working Capital Facility which has a repayment due date of 30 June 2015. The repayment of this Working Capital Facility will be from the discretionary reserves. It should be noted that Council's cash position is currently $27,635,661 and this represents an initial transfer of $17,000,000 from TRC. The Deputy Premier (Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning and Minister for Trade) made a decision on 8 April regarding the cash split. MSC is to receive a sum total of $26,053,002 of the total cash of $52,077,050 which results in MSC receiving a further $9,053,002 plus interest from TRC. On 22 May 2015, TRC made a part payment of $1,719,752.

REPORT OFFICER’S TITLE: Manager Finance DEPARTMENT:

Corporate and Community Services

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of this report is to advise Council of a successful financial audit for the year ended 30 June 2014 (1 January to 30 June 2014) and outline matters arising from the audit. OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION "That Council note the attached Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2014 (1 January to 30 June 2014) and matters arising during the audit." BACKGROUND In accordance with Section 176 of the Local Government Regulation 2012, a set of general purpose financial statements were prepared for the year ended 30 June 2014 (1 January to 30 June 2014). At a Council meeting on 18 February 2015, Council resolved that "the draft annual report for the 2013/14 financial year be adopted and released for public information as an interim report, with the proviso that the annual financial statements contained therein have been prepared and audited based on assumed opening cash balances which may require adjustment once a determination has been made by the Minister for Local Government with respect to those opening balances. The final annual report will be made available to the community once the opening balances have been determined and the audit completed." On 8 April 2015, the Minister announced the decision to support the Crowe Horwath recommendation (including the adjustment correcting a previously determined error) which resulted in an allocation of $26,053,002 to Mareeba Shire Council. This resulted in a $1,469,081 overall increase in our cash and equity as compared to the published unaudited accounts. The financial statements were adjusted to reflect these changes and were certified by Queensland Audit Office on 28 May 2015. During the course of the audit four matters were raised for management's attention, three were rated low risk and one as moderate, A detailed explanation of the findings, recommendations and management responses is attached to this report. Management advises that the three low risk items have already been resolved and are confident that the moderate risk be resolved prior to completion of the 2014/15 audit. Page 151

REPORT OFFICER’S TITLE: Manager Community Wellbeing DEPARTMENT:

Corporate and Community Services

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In accordance with the Council resolution of 17 December 2014, Council will not be tendering for future contracts for the delivery of the Street to Home and Homestay services. Arrangements have been in place since 9 March 2015 whereby the Mareeba Community Housing Company is managing the day to day operations of the two housing support services to strengthen its tender for the future contracts. This report is to advise that these contract arrangements with Mareeba Community Housing Company will continue to 30 September 2015, the new end date for Council's contract with the Department of Housing and Public Works. OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION "That Council note the extension of contractual arrangements for three months from 1 July 2015 to 30 September 2015 by the Department of Housing and Public Works for the delivery of the Street to Home and Homestay services, and the subsequent extension of contractual arrangements for the same period between Council and Mareeba Community Housing Company for the day to day operation of the Street to Home and Homestay services." BACKGROUND Transitioning Housing Support Services to Community Management Mareeba Shire Council has a funding agreement with the Department of Housing and Public Works for $1,124,641 to deliver the Street to Home and Homestay services to 30 June 2015. On 17th December 2014, Council resolved to (in part): "Implement new governance arrangements for the following externally funded services for which Council does not intend to tender for any future contracts:  Homestay  Street To Home"

Page 211


Mareeba Shire Council - Agenda

Wednesday 17 June 2015

Consequently, contractual arrangements were put in place for Mareeba Community Housing Company (MCHC) to manage the day to day operations of the two housing services after negotiations with the Department of Housing and Public Works. Contractual Arrangements with Mareeba Community Housing Company Expressions of Interest were not called to award the contract as Mareeba Community Housing Company was identified by the Department and Council as the only suitable service provider to which Council could subcontract the services to. With the endorsement of the Department of Housing and Public Works, MCHC has been managing the day to day delivery of the housing support services since 9 March 2015 and these arrangements were due to cease on 30 June 2015. Provisions have been made to extend Council's contractual arrangements with MCHC from 1 July 2015 to 30 September 2015 in line with the Department's extension of contractual arrangements with Council for this same period. Council's Role as Contract Manager Under these new subcontracting arrangements, Council's role is one of contract manager rather than service provider/manager and the costs associated with the contract manager role are fully costed and covered by the grant funds.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report presents the strategy to implement the Community Partnerships Program for 2015/16. This program enables Council to achieve key goals and outcomes in the Corporate Plan and to respond in a fair and equitable manner to meet the increasing number of requests for community assistance.

2015/16 CPP Budget

Amounts approved by staff delegation are presented as total figures in the Officer's Recommendation above and comprise applications under $500 which have been approved by Staff Delegations in accordance with Section 8 of the CPP Policy. 1.1

Approved community partnerships for 2015/16

At a workshop on 31 March 2015, Council considered the community partnership requests received to date and approved a total of $75,083 as outlined above in the Officer's Recommendation. In determining those community partnerships that Council will contribute to in 2015/16, priority was given to requests:  By not-for-profit organisations that rely on volunteers.  That demonstrated contributions by other partnership members.  That had a plan in place to become self-sustaining, if it is not a one off activity or event.  That demonstrated the contribution by Council cannot be provided by any other partner and is crucial to the success of the event/activity/project.  That demonstrated significant community benefits will be achieved by the partnership.  That aligned closely with the Mareeba Shire Council Corporate Plan. 1.2

Consider new community partnership requests throughout 2015/16

This leaves $19,917 for Council to consider new requests for a council contribution to a community partnership throughout the year.

Wednesday 17 June 2015

Encouraging self-reliance

A key principle of the Community Partnerships Program is to encourage self-reliance. Meetings have been held between Councillors, Officers and the organisers of each of the four major events (Mareeba Rodeo, Dimbulah Lions Club Festival, Mareeba Multicultural Festival and Tourism Kuranda Events) to discuss ways that these events can become more self-sufficient and less reliant on Council assistance. This approach has led to three of the four events requiring significantly less Council assistance in 2015/16 and further discussions are planned. During the workshop, Councillors identified a number of smaller community partnerships to which a cash or in-kind contribution would be made in 2015/16, but also directed Officers to engage with the community partners to find ways they can become more self-reliant so that Council's financial contribution can reduce over time. 1.4

Celebration of Community Partnerships

In accordance with Section 6 of the Community Partnerships Program Policy, it was agreed that Council would hold an event to celebrate the Community Partnerships approved for 2015/16. This event would acknowledge the community benefits and contributions provided by Council and other partners by way of a presentation of Community Partnership Certificates at a Morning Tea after an Ordinary Council Meeting. 1.5

Benefits of the Strategy

The proposed CPP Strategy enables Council to:  Remain a contributing partner to those important community events and activities assisted previously; as well as  Contribute to new community partnerships, as they arise, which will deliver significant social, economic and environmental benefits;  Work towards reducing Council's contribution by assisting community partnerships to become more self-sufficient; and  Acknowledge and celebrate the approved community partnerships. This contribution of $75,083 in cash and in-kind recommended for Council approval represents the following investment to achieve community benefits in 2015/16:  $40,151 on projects for community and social benefit  $7,646 on projects for economic benefit  $14,286 on projects for environmental benefit  $13,000 to not for profit volunteer groups through rates and rebates remissions If part or all of the remaining $19,917 is contributed to other community partnerships throughout the year, then further community benefits will be achieved. LINK TO CORPORATE PLAN COM 3 Encourage the building of strong partnerships with community, private sector and government so as to build community capacity and develop strategies to encourage and support leadership and self-responsibility in the community.

In April 2015, there were 648 bookings, which means there has been a slight decline compared to the previous month. For the month of May the use of the caravan park and the swimming pool in Dimbulah seem to be strongly influenced by the availability of seasonal work in the area and the weather conditions.

The total number of hall bookings has increased from 46 in April 2014 to 48 in April 2015. In May 2015 Dimbulah Hall recorded 21 bookings, the highest number compared to the other public halls. In this hall many recurring sport activities are being held. No bookings were made for the Mt Molloy hall. Bookings are still not taken for the Kuranda Precinct except for the Kuranda Community Precinct Advisory Committee as building works have started for the new Council facility. Almaden Hall was used for the Wheelbarrow race. Koah Community Hall is now getting booked through MSC and we received six bookings for the month. Two were for the Community meetings and four for driver training.

The chart in Figure 1 shows that the usage for the swimming pools is increasing for Mareeba and Kuranda compared to April 2014. In Kuranda a grant was received to cover swimming lessons for children, even though the cooler weather has resulted in attendance down for May.. The Dimbulah swimming pool usage is on a slight decline. The weather had cooled down at night time making the pool too cold to swim in comfortably which caused attendance to drop. Dimbulah closes for this reason in May of each year.

REPORT OFFICER’S TITLE: Manager Works DEPARTMENT:

Infrastructure Services, Works Group

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report is intended to inform Council on the progress with regards issues highlighted during the recent Level 3 RPEQ Bridge Inspection program. OFFICER'S RECOMMENDATION "That Council receive and note the progress report on Level 3 Bridge Inspection Program." BACKGROUND Pitt & Sherry (Operations) Pty Ltd were engaged by Mareeba Shire Council to undertake Level 3 Inspections of 22 bridges throughout the shire. The inspections were carried out during January and February 2015. Level 3 Bridge Inspections typically address bridge condition and structural assessment. The reports were received for the 22 bridges containing recommendations of load limits and corrective and preventative actions to prolong the useful life of the bridges. Below is a summary of the bridges inspected and the recommendations.

Recommendations Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is considered that a posted load limit is not required at this stage. Due to deterioration signs observed it is recommended implementing/maintaining a regular inspection regime to monitor the condition of the bridge. To prevent/slow further deterioration of the stringers consideration should be given to applying anti‐termite and anti-fungal treatment to the stingers. Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended that load limit of 15t be imposed to the bridge. This load limit corresponds to the small truck with closely spaced axles and the load limit for the longer trucks is higher. Due to the advanced deterioration of the timber stringers it is recommended that regular inspection regime (including timber drilling) is implemented to monitor the bridge condition. Consideration should also be given to treating the internal rotting. Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended that load limit of 10t be imposed to the bridge. This load limit corresponds to the small truck with closely spaced axles and the load limit for the longer trucks is higher. Therefore, consideration should be given to imposing axle load limit than vehicle load limit which may be less restrictive. In order to prevent further deterioration of the middle stringer it is recommended installing anti‐splitting bolts/banding and treating any surface rotting as a matter of urgency. Due to the level of deterioration observed it is recommended implementing/maintaining a regular inspection regime to monitor the bridge condition. Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended that load limit of 10 tonne be imposed to the bridge. This load limit corresponds to the small truck with closely spaced axles and the load limit for the longer trucks is higher. Therefore, consideration should be given to imposing axle load limit than vehicle load limit which may be less restrictive. In order to monitor the bridge condition it is recommended implementing/maintaining a regular inspection regime. Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended that a load limit of 11t be imposed to the bridge. This load limit corresponds to the small truck with closely spaced axles and the load limit for the longer trucks is higher. Therefore, consideration should be given to imposing axle load limit than vehicle load limit which may be less restrictive. Due to the advance deterioration of the timber stringers it is recommended implementing/maintaining a regular inspection regime to monitor the bridge condition. Consideration should be given to replacing the bridge deck in the near future because the deterioration of the stringers is expected to progress which will affect the load capacity of the bridge. It is also recommended replacing the missing running planks to prevent damage to the crossdecking planks. Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended that load limit of 14 tonne be imposed to the bridge. This load limit corresponds to the small truck with closely spaced axles and the load limit for the longer trucks is higher. Therefore, consideration should be given to imposing axle load limit than vehicle load limit which may be less restrictive. Due to the advanced deterioration of the timber stringers observed, it is recommended implementing/maintaining a regular inspection regime (including timber drilling) to monitor the bridge condition. Consideration should be given to treating the stringers to prolong their design life. Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended that load limit of 9t be imposed to the bridge. This load limit corresponds to the small truck with closely spaced axles and the load limit for the longer trucks is higher. Due to the advance deterioration of the timber stringers it is recommended that a regular inspection regime is implemented and maintained to monitor the bridge condition. Consideration should be given to treating the pocket/internal rotting Page 238 observed. If the proposed load limit is not practical then consideration should be given to replacing the deck or introducing another pier to reduce the longer span.

Recommendations Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended that load limit of 15t be imposed to the bridge. This load limit corresponds to the small truck with closely spaced axles and the load limit for the longer trucks is higher. Therefore, consideration should be given to imposing axle load limit than vehicle load limit which may be less restrictive. In order to prevent further deterioration of stringer 1 due to pocket rotting observed it is recommended implementing a suitable treatment solution. Alternatively, the stringer should be replaced. Consideration should be given to replacing the deteriorated retaining logs at both abutments. It is also recommended implementing/maintaining a regular inspection regime to monitor bridge condition. Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended that a load limit of 30t be imposed to the bridge. This load limit corresponds to the T44 type of vehicles and the load limit for the longer trucks is higher. Therefore, consideration should be given to imposing axle load limit than vehicle load limit. It is also recommended implementing/maintaining a regular inspection regime to monitor the bridge condition. Due to discrepancy between the anticipated life expectancy of the bridge and its current condition it is recommended confirming the year of construction of the bridge. Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended that load limit of 14t be imposed to the bridge. This load limit corresponds to the small truck with closely spaced axles and the load limit for the longer trucks is higher. Therefore, consideration should be given to imposing axle load limit than vehicle load limit which may be less restrictive. It is also recommended implementing/maintaining a regular inspection regime to monitor the bridge condition. Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended that load limit of 14t be imposed to the bridge. This load limit corresponds to the small truck with closely spaced axles and the load limit for the longer trucks is higher. Therefore, consideration should be given to imposing axle load limit than vehicle load limit which may be less restrictive. Due to the advance deterioration of the timber stringers consideration should be given to replacing the bridge superstructure in the near future because the stringers are expected to deteriorate at a rapid pace and the capacity of the bridge will be reduced significantly. Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended that load limit of 12 tonne be imposed on the bridge. This load limit corresponds to the small truck with closely spaced axles and the load limit for the longer trucks is higher. Therefore, consideration should be given to imposing axle load limit than vehicle load limit which is less restrictive. Due to stringers deterioration observed it is recommended implementing a regular inspection regime (including timber drilling) to monitor the stringers condition. In order to prevent further splitting of stringer 4 it is recommended replacing this stringer or installing banding. If the proposed load limit or the replacement of the superstructure is not practical at this stage temporary strengthening of the deck should be considered. The strengthening may be in the form of transverse steel beams connected to the stringers (to improve the load distribution between the stringers) or other. Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended that load limit of 10t be imposed to the bridge. This load limit corresponds to the small truck with closely spaced axles and the load limit for the longer trucks is higher. Therefore, consideration should be given to imposing axle load limit than vehicle load limit which may be less restrictive. Due to the advance deterioration of the timber girders consideration should be given to replacing the bridge superstructure because the stringers are believed to be nearing their design life. A suitable form of replacement may be made through the use of concrete deck planks. Page 239

Wednesday 17 June 2015

Recommendations Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended maintaining a load limit of 8t currently imposed on the bridge bearing in mind that the load limit is suitable to the deck only. The substructure capacity cannot be determined. Due to the advanced deterioration of the abutments/piers consideration should be given to replacing or reinforcing them. In the meantime, it is recommended a strict monitoring regime be implemented for the substructure in an attempt to observe movement in the abutment prior to a possible collapse. Based on the inspection and load assessment results it is recommended that load limit of 13t be imposed to the bridge. This load limit corresponds to the small truck with closely spaced axles and the load limit for the longer trucks is higher. Therefore, consideration should be given to imposing axle load limit than vehicle load limit which may be less restrictive. Due to the advance deterioration of the timber stringers consideration should be given to replacing the bridge superstructure because the stringers are believed to be nearing their design life.

It is intended that any signage issues will be dealt with using the Bridge Sections Operational Budget. This process has commenced. Over the coming months each bridge will be inspected by Council's Director of Infrastructure Services and ancillary staff to determine future rehabilitation activities. These activities will be dependent on safety, criticality, budget constraints and other programmed capital works. The outcome from the inspections and any future planned rehabilitation works will be reflected in Council's PPT and 10 year forward capital works program. The bridges assessed as most at risk, namely Grove Creek Bridge at Speewah and Walsh River Bridge at Springmount Road have been included in 2015/16 and 2016/17 Capital Works programmes respectively.

 QMSC2015-11 Mutchilba Transfer Station to Evy Entertainment for the period 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2018 for the sum of $22,261.20 (Inc. GST)." BACKGROUND The current contracts for the provision of supervision services at the Mareeba Shire Council Transfer Stations, expires on 30 June 2015. To assist Council in the implementation of these new contracts, Council engaged the services of a Probity Auditor. A copy of the Independent Probity Audit Report is attached. Awarding of the new contracts to begin 1 July 2015 is required to provide continuity of service at these facilities. Request for Quotes (QMSC2015-04 to QMSC2015-11) for the position of Contract Operator - Mareeba Shire Council Transfer Stations were invited and closed on Tuesday, 31 March 2015. Council requested a second option for operating hours at the Kuranda Transfer Station with the view of reducing the opening hours during week days to improve the financial running expenses of the transfer station. A car counter was deployed at the Kuranda Transfer Station for the period Monday, 9 March to Wednesday, 25 March. The results of the car counter highlighted that the peak periods for residents utilising the transfer station are from the hours of 9am to 2pm. In respect of the Kuranda Transfer Station tenders were invited to provide offers for two options: Option A

Existing hours of 8am to 5pm Tuesday and Thursday with no change on the weekends;

Option B

1pm to 6pm Tuesday and Thursday with no change on the weekends.

From all submissions made option B was the lowest cost to Council. Should Council proceed with this there will need to be an information campaign to advise residents of the change. In respect of the preferred tenderer the decrease in cost between option A and option B is approximately $14,000 per annum. Option A is however recommended for adoption by Council in this instance, due to the obvious preference of residents to utilise the transfer station during the morning period. During the assessment process relevant reference checks were undertaken and the two recommended contractors have the required background and skill set to adequately meet Council's requirements. Nature and Extent of Contract The contract specified a lump sum amount (inclusive of GST) for operating the Transfer Stations for a set schedule of hours per annum inclusive of the costs of any necessary plant. The term of the contracts is to be for three years with the option, at Council's discretion to extend the contracts for a further year.
