MOSPLAN
Mosman’s Community Strategic Plan, MOSPLAN 2013–2023 is our plan for Mosman’s future. It addresses the specific requirements of the NSW Government’s Integrated Planning and Reporting legislation and responds to the aspirations of the Mosman community and its elected Council. As part of its legislative responsibilities, Council must adopt:
1
2 3
A Community Strategic Plan – a 10 year+ strategic direction for Mosman, supported by a Resourcing Strategy which details Council’s approach to long term financial planning, workforce planning and asset management planning A four year Delivery Program – detailing the principal activities that Council will undertake to achieve the long term vision contained in the Community Strategic Plan A one year Operational Plan and Budget – outlining the actions Council will carry out in the coming financial year to achieve the four-year Delivery Program and Council’s long-term vision
PAGE 2 | MOSPLAN 2013-2023 ADOPTED 4 JUNE 2013
MOSPLAN is an integrated plan containing each of these three elements. Not only does it articulate a long-term Vision for the future, it also identifies how Council intends to deliver on that Vision across 10, 4 and 1 year horizons. MOSPLAN takes into account an extensive range of other strategies and plans prepared by Council to address specific service areas or issues. Examples of these supporting documents include ‘Social Directions 2012’ and the Environmental Sustainability Action Plan. MOSPLAN ensures that Mosman Council can deliver services to the Mosman community in a manner that is effective, efficient and planned in a logical and financially viable way. Council has a measurement framework in place to gauge performance against key MOSPLAN deliverables. Details of this framework can be found on pages 42-43. Quarterly and annual reports are prepared in relation to MOSPLAN progress and a four-yearly report is also prepared at the end of each Council term. The first of these four-yearly reports was released in August last year, with the next report due in August 2016.

Mosman’s Community Mosman is a place of history and beauty, located 8 kilometres north-east of the CBD on Sydney’s lower north shore. It is one of Australia’s premier suburbs, with an unmatched setting on Sydney Harbour. The area is characterised by beautiful localities such as Balmoral, Beauty Point, Clifton Gardens and Georges Heights. Occupying some 8.7 square kilometres, Mosman features numerous stunning bays and beaches punctuated by rugged headlands and sandstone cliffs. Natural bushland areas and foreshore parklands complement busy shopping strips and suburban neighbourhoods. The major thoroughfares of Military and Spit Roads both divide the area and connect residents of Mosman and those from further north to other parts of Sydney. Mosman’s history began with the Borogegal and Cammeraigal people and the area has since been renowned for activities as diverse as convict farms, whaling, artists camps, and military fortifications. As a destination, Mosman today is a great place to sample some unique Sydney heritage. The area is home to the world famous Taronga Zoo, as well as excellent harbourside swimming and recreation areas, top restaurants, and high-end retail experiences.
PAGE 4 | MOSPLAN 2013-2023 ADOPTED 4 JUNE 2013
Mosman’s current population is a little over 29,000 residents, having experienced only minimal growth in recent years. This trend is likely to continue, with the most significant demographic shifts likely to be in the age structure of the population as the proportion of residents aged 60 and over grows. Slightly more of our residents are female than male, and 32% have moved to the area from another country. At the time of the 2011 census (the last census for which data is currently available), 42.5% of people living in Mosman moved home during the previous 5 years, with roughly a quarter of these moves being within Mosman. Fewer residents in Mosman come from non-English speaking countries or identify as being of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent than other areas of Sydney, although Mosman does have a higher than average number of residents born in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and the USA. During the same period the number of young working-age residents (18 – 34 years) fell, while the greatest increase was experienced in persons aged 60 – 69 years. Despite being below the Sydney average, the number of children and young people aged 0 – 17 also increased.
Introduction According to the 2011 census Mosman residents are significantly more likely to catch a bus or ferry to work than other Sydneysiders, and less likely to drive to work. Mosman households are also more likely to limit themselves to one car than other households across Sydney. 73% of Mosman’s working population travels outside the area to work. When travelling to work, Mosman residents are most typically heading to the Sydney CBD (over 28%), with the next largest work destinations being North Sydney and Willoughby local government areas. Of jobs offered in Mosman, the largest percentage are filled by Mosman residents, with the next largest proportion of workers travelling from the North Sydney and Warringah local government areas. Over 20% of the local workforce travels from Sydney’s northern beaches.

Introduction At the time of the 2011 census 81.7% of Mosman households were connected to the internet, more than 5% above the comparative figure for Greater Sydney. Of more than 11,000 households in Mosman, the average household size in 2011 was 2.3 persons (compared with 2.69 for Sydney), although Mosman also has a significantly larger number of lone-person households than the Sydney average. Almost 30% of Mosman homes are occupied by only one person – over 11% by a lone householder aged 65 years or more. Couples with or without children (at over 52%) remain the predominant household type in Mosman.
Mosman has a strong community spirit, with a significantly higher proportion of volunteers than the Sydney average. At the last census 23% of Mosman residents indicated that they had carried out voluntary work in the past 12 months. This compares to 15% across Sydney.
Mosman residents live in a variety of dwellings, with separate houses still being the major housing type. The proportion of separate houses (36.8%) is, however, significantly smaller than for Sydney as a whole (58.9%), while the proportion of medium and high density dwellings is significantly above the figure for Sydney overall. When combined, high and medium density housing makes up 63% of all dwellings in Mosman compared to 40% across Greater Sydney. The qualifications of Mosman residents are higher than those for the average Sydney resident, and Mosman also has a significantly larger proportion of high income households than the Sydney average. There is also a higher proportion of managers and professionals living in the area, and unemployment is consistently low when compared to Sydney overall.

A Vision for Mosman MOSPLAN is based on a clear Vision for Mosman’s future and how Council will help deliver that future in partnership with our community. MOSPLAN aims to bring the following Vision to life, to ensure that Mosman remains the kind of place current and future residents can enjoy.
Vision Proud to be Mosman Protecting our Heritage Planning our Future Involving our Community
Residents have told us about their expectations of Council and the types of values that should direct Council operations. The following core values and commitments guide the way that services are delivered and ensure that Council remains progressive and responsive to community needs:
Values Integrity Leadership Transparency
PAGE 14 | MOSPLAN 2013-2023 ADOPTED 4 JUNE 2013
Inclusiveness Service Respect
Mosman’sVision
Our Commitments Commitments Customer Service
Environmental Protection
Social Inclusion
Council is committed to providing quality customer service. We achieve this by:
Mosman Council has a strong commitment to sustainability in its broadest sense, including economic, social and environmental outcomes. From the environmental perspective, Council in 2010 adopted an Environmental Sustainability Action Plan which details objectives across 3 and 10 year timeframes for corporate activities, atmosphere, water, biodiversity, land, waste, environmental education, engagement and community initiatives. The plan details actions and performance indicators for environmental sustainability that inform MOSPLAN programming and facilitate an integrated approach to planning and service delivery.
Council supports and advocates the social justice principles of equity, access, participation and rights in both service planning and delivery. These principles are reflected in MOSPLAN’s strategic objectives and actions. In 2012 a Social Directions paper was prepared to identify community development and service issues relevant to Mosman, and to provide input into MOSPLAN. The Social Directions paper highlighted emerging social directions for Mosman, including the strengthening of community connections and inclusion, development of family friendly communities, supporting positive ageing and promoting local health and wellbeing. Council’s response to this analysis is illustrated through the kinds of activities proposed to support and nurture our community members in future years. Social Directions 2012 can be accessed on Council’s website.
Treating people courteously, attentively and sensitively Giving information and advice clearly and appropriately Allowing customers a voice and listening to their views Ensuring customers receive full and appropriate levels of service Following fair procedures Acting impartially Making decisions based on merit Maintaining confidentiality and privacy of personal information Using resources efficiently and effectively
Partnerships
Efficiency
Mosman Council is committed to working with local government partners through SHOROC and other alliances to deliver the best possible outcomes for Mosman residents. This spirit of collaboration also extends to many other community and government partners, who collectively and individually work with Council to fund, facilitate and deliver local services.
As a relatively small local government authority with limited resources, efficiency and innovation are key elements of Mosman Council operations. Council staff are actively encouraged to consider new, improved and innovative approaches to service planning and delivery. This focus has been acknowledged through several awards and accolades including recognition of Council’s Community Engagement Strategy, cultural, community and library programs, urban planning communication and consultation processes, heritage conservation work and our leading practice in web innovation.
PAGE 15
Community Engagement Engaging and Involving the Community To ensure that our planning remains in step with community needs and expectations, Council actively engages residents on matters of local interest and encourages participation in Council affairs. Community views are valued and respected, and we encourage feedback on the kind of job Council is doing. In recent years we have kept pace with advances in technology and have made good use of our website and social networking to keep connected with residents. We have conducted public meetings, focus groups, online forums, community conversations and held sessions out-and-about in Mosman to hear what the community is saying. We’ve also used a variety of surveys and questionnaires, and even ‘town meeting’ consultations using electronic voting technology, to get a sense of community sentiment on a range of issues and proposed projects.
MOSPLAN Community Engagement Strategy
w
To prepare this latest edition of MOSPLAN Council adopted a targeted Community Engagement Strategy which has been progressively rolled out since March 2012 and has provided Council with valuable information about community aspirations and priorities. The feedback received has made a significant contribution to the development of our longterm Vision for Mosman, as well as Council’s Delivery Program and Operational Plan.
PAGE 16 | MOSPLAN 2013-2023 ADOPTED 4 JUNE 2013
MOSPLAN Engagement Panel One of the first tasks in rolling out the Community Engagement Strategy was establishing the MOSPLAN Engagement Panel. Recruitment of this Panel commenced in February 2012, with 1200 households randomly contacted by mail. The purpose was to recruit a representative cross-section of Mosman residents to provide feedback to Council at various stages of the MOSPLAN Community Engagement Strategy. 123 community members were subsequently recruited to the panel, with varying areas of interest and preferred types of engagement. Panel members have since been invited to take part in focus groups and surveys, as well as online discussion forums. Members also received invitations to contribute during the MOSPLAN exhibition phase.
Implementing the Strategy The Strategy is divided into 4 Phases – Research & Review, Community Visioning, Strategic Objectives & Priority Setting, and Development & Exhibition. With the completion of the ‘Development & Exhibition’ phase (culminating in Council’s adoption of this plan on 4 June 2013), strategy implementation was complete. Listed on the following pages are core elements of the Strategy’s implementation, including some key messages received from the Mosman community. Detailed results can be found on the MOSPLAN website at: mosplan.mosman.nsw.gov.au
Mosman’sVision Engagement Tool What did we do?
What did we learn?
August 2010 – May 2012 Social Planning consultations
17 different activities including surveys, forums, workshops and interviews on community needs and aspirations.
Key issues included: General community: Community connections, carer responsibilities, volunteering and access to facilities, information and engagement opportunities Children & families: Service coordination, parent & disability support programs, limited availability of care for 0-2 year olds and familyfriendly environments Young People (12-18yrs): Service awareness/availability, youth health, access to transport and school connections Older People (55 yrs+): Maximising independence and connections, life-long learning, access to more services & programs, changing the ‘image’ of seniors, and affordable housing choice (See www.mosman.nsw.gov.au/council/plans/social )
Independently conducted Biennial Community Survey of 400 randomly selected residents
See pp 19-21 for topline results
4 independently-facilitated focus groups involving 26 local residents to hear views on the Vision, Mission, Values, Commitments and priorities contained in MOSPLAN 20122022.
Focus group participants wanted to see clear, simple messages that convey ideals of leadership, inclusiveness and pride of place. Council should be seen as progressive, flexible and a role model to others and Mosman portrayed as a friendly, inclusive place with a sense of community and an appreciation of local heritage and culture. There was broad consensus on key MOSPLAN priorities of urban planning, environment, transport, community and economy.
Members of Council’s Consultative Groups were invited to nominate key priorities for Mosman’s future.
Priorities for our Safety & Access Consultative groups were: Access: Kerb ramps, more accessible commercial areas including accessible toilets Safety: Pedestrian safety, lighting, footpath clearances, community information and relationships with service/utility providers
This project, designed to engage children and young people in imagining Mosman’s future, attracted entries from almost 300 local school students who used pictures and stories on postcards to describe Mosman in 2050.
Primary school children in Mosman had some ‘futuristic fun’ ideas for Mosman, with waterparks and waterslides being ‘big ticket’ items. Children also showed an appreciation of what Mosman has to offer today, including recreational facilities and the natural environment. Urban planning solutions and social support also featured. High school students showed an appreciation of sense of community and diverse needs in Mosman. They demonstrated a strong affinity with the environment, ‘planning for everyone’ and a desire to maintain local stability. The ‘big ticket’ item for youth was returning a movie theatre to Mosman.

July – September 2012 ‘Help Build Mosman’s Future’ – Community Feedback Forms
Hard copy feedback forms delivered to all Mosman households and also available on Council and MOSPLAN websites. Sought views on Mosman’s best & least-liked features and priority actions for Mosman’s future. 104 forms returned.
Respondents said that the best things about living in Mosman are (Top 5, in order): the beaches, proximity to the city, the local village atmosphere, our harbour location and access to public transport. The worst things about living in Mosman are (Top 5, in order): traffic/ congestion, parking, high prices, footpaths and Spit Junction. (Of these responses traffic received 3 times the score of parking and 10 times the score of Spit Junction.) Residents’ top priorities: improving parking, solving traffic problems, improving walking/cycling amenity, and controlling development, improving Spit Junction and public transport, protecting parks & recreation areas, better footpaths and retaining Mosman’s village atmosphere
A market stall and filmed interviews with 60 visitors to Mosman Markets about present-day and future Mosman. Selected interviews were posted on-line.
Key themes communicated during the market interviews included preserving Mosman “as is”, maintaining the village feel, reducing local traffic, and an appreciation of the Mosman lifestyle – including parks, beaches, cafes, shopping, library and art gallery.
A new website launched as a platform for posting online discussion forums, surveys and other materials relevant to MOSPLAN’s development.
Materials and comments posted since September 2012 can be accessed directly at http://mosplan.mosman.nsw.gov.au/
August 2012 Conversations at the Markets
September 2012 MOSPLAN website
September – October 2012 ‘Help Build Mosman’s Future’ – Community Organisation Feedback Forms
Feedback Forms distributed to community organisations throughout Mosman, seeking ideas and priorities for future action by Council. 12 organisations responded.
Feedback reflected priorities that were both very specific to individual needs, as well as broader community aspirations. General community priorities included parking, traffic management, environmental and heritage initiatives and access to high quality facilities, programs, information and opportunities to engage.
A business breakfast/forum at Mosman Art Gallery for over 40 local businesses. The independently facilitated forum enabled businesses to voice issues, challenges and aspirations.
Key messages from business people included improved connections between business and Council –general communications and engagement as well as opportunities for partnership projects, marketing of Mosman to residents and visitors, and improved traffic management including parking arrangements, traffic volumes and traffic light management.
The Draft MOSPLAN was exhibited widely for public comment in April May 2013. A MOSPLAN information evening was held on 29 April and copies of the draft plan were available for review on Council’s website, the MOSPLAN website and at Council’s Civic Centre and Library.
Submissions received during the exhibition period were reviewed and resulted in a number of amendments to this plan. The comments received and changes made can be found in a report presented to Council on 4 June 2013.

Mosman Community Survey 2012 The most recent Mosman Community Survey was conducted in late May/early June 2012. These surveys are conducted biennially to provide information on mid-term and end of term Council performance, as well as to provide base data for development of Community Strategic Plans and Delivery Programs. The 2012 survey was a key element of the MOSPLAN 2013-2023 Community Engagement Strategy.
BIG
w The topline results from the 2012 Mosman Community Survey are provided below, with comparisons (where possible) to earlier surveys and external benchmarks.
Overall Council Performance Survey respondents in 2012 gave Council’s overall performance a mean score of 6.6 out of 10. This is just below the 2010 score of 6.7 and just above the NSW benchmark of 6.5. The comparable score in 2006 was 6.53.
PAGE 19
Value for Money
Services & Facilities
When asked if Council services represented value for money in terms of the amount outlaid by households on rates and charges, the 2012 survey respondents gave Council a mean score of 6.5 out of 10. This compares favourably against the 2010 score of 6.22 and the 2006 score of 5.85.
In June 2012 the top-rating Council services and facilities in terms of resident satisfaction were (in order):
Councillor & Staff Performance The 2012 survey results indicate that overall satisfaction with Mosman Councillors remained fairly stable (and above the NSW benchmark) between 2010 and 2012 – with higher satisfaction recorded for survey respondents who could recall recent contact with a Councillor. Satisfaction with Council staff – specifically those with whom the survey respondents could recall recent contact – fell marginally over the same period.
Provision & maintenance of parklands Library services Waste & recycling collection services These were also the top-rated services in 2010. The following services and facilities also rated comparatively well for community satisfaction in 2012: Overall cleanliness, appearance & management of public spaces Enforcement of health & food regulations Management & protection of the environment Cleaning of streets Although there were generally only marginal shifts in satisfaction (both up and down) across all services and facilities, the largest upward shifts were recorded for ‘Condition of public toilets’, ‘Provision of car parking’, “Providing & maintaining local roads’ and ‘Enforcement of parking restrictions’. The most important categories of services and facilities were Waste, Health & Environment, followed by Infrastructure & Traffic.
PAGE 20 | MOSPLAN 2013-2023 ADOPTED 4 JUNE 2013
Mosman’sVision Of 18 comparable measures for local government services and facilities provided by NSW Councils, Mosman Council scored above the NSW benchmark for 13 of these services and facilities. The lowest mean satisfaction scores were recorded for (in order): Development approvals process Services & facilities for people from culturally & linguistically diverse backgrounds Providing & maintaining bike paths The services & facilities with the highest ‘performance gap’ (the difference between perceived importance and satisfaction) were: Providing & maintaining footpaths Traffic management Provision of car parking
Local Issues The 2012 survey identified the top issues facing Mosman in the next 10 years as: Traffic – management, congestion, control, Spit Bridge/Junction, Military Road Development – controlled, overdevelopment Parking – provision, payment Population – overpopulation, growth, ageing Roads & Footpaths – maintenance, upgrades Environment – preservation, climate change, sustainability Public transport Of all issues raised, traffic represented 45% of responses, clearly demonstrating its importance to local residents. Full survey results can be found at mosplan.mosman.nsw.gov.au/projects/2012mosman-community-survey
w
Community Connections The 2012 Community Survey results show that Mosman residents generally feel safe – with slightly more feeling safe to walk in their local neighbourhood than in 2010. Residents’ overall sense of being connected to their local community is slightly down, however, on 2010.

Working Together
Northern Beaches Regional Action Plan 2012
The ongoing planning that Council undertakes, the services it delivers and the role that it plays as civic leader require a good appreciation of issues both within and beyond Mosman’s boundaries. Partnerships are often required to deliver common objectives.
Regional Action Plans have been progressively developed by the NSW Government to help ‘localise’ NSW 2021 - focussing on the most important actions the State government can take to improve outcomes at regional level across NSW. Mosman, along with the local government areas of Manly, Warringah and Pittwater, is covered by the Northern Beaches Regional Action Plan released in December last year. This two-year plan provides an overview of immediate actions that the NSW government will be taking to deliver on a vision for Mosman and the Northern Beaches, with its priority areas being improved access to healthcare, better transport access to the Northern Beaches, encouraging the development of more affordable housing options and improved local amenity, improving support services for young people and the ageing, protecting the natural environment, and boosting the local economy.
Council recognises that it operates within a social, cultural, economic and political environment that is not defined by local government boundaries; and that the work and goals of others can impact what we do or how we need to plan for the future. For instance, there are a number of key plans and strategies at State and regional level that are highly relevant to our area. These include:
NSW 2021
w w
The NSW Government describes NSW 2021 as its 10-year strategic plan to ‘rebuild the economy, return quality services, renovate infrastructure, strengthen our local environment and communities, and restore accountability to government’. NSW 2021, sets long term goals and targets and outlines actions to achieve these goals. The priority service areas identified in the plan are transport, health, family & community services, education & training and police & justice. Annual reports on progress against NSW 2021 goals and targets are tabled in State Parliament.
PAGE 22 | MOSPLAN 2013-2023 ADOPTED 4 JUNE 2013
Mosman’sVision Metropolitan Plan for Sydney 2036 and Draft Metropolitan Strategy for Sydney (2013) The NSW Government’s Metropolitan Plan for Sydney 2036 was released in December 2010 to provide an integrated, long term planning framework for the sustainable management of Sydney’s growth to 2036. The plan identified 10 sub-regions, each with individual dwelling and employment targets. The Inner North Sub-regional Strategy (only
ever released in draft form) translated the objectives of the Metropolitan Plan to the local government areas of Mosman, North Sydney, Willoughby, Ryde, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill, setting targets for employment and housing by 2036. A draft Metropolitan Strategy for Sydney was released last month and will replace the previous Metropolitan Plan. The draft Strategy includes new subregional boundaries, with Mosman now grouped with 16 other Councils situated around (and including) Sydney City. New targets for housing and employment are also included, together with linkages to the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan and State Infrastructure Strategy.

State Infrastructure Strategy 2012–2032 The State Infrastructure Strategy includes an assessment of priority infrastructure problems and solutions in NSW for the next 20 years. Prepared by Infrastructure NSW, the strategy ‘outlines a forward program of over 70 urban and regional projects and reforms across transport, freight, aviation, energy, water, health, education and social infrastructure that should take priority over the next five, 10 and 20 years’. The Strategy includes principal recommendations across each of these timeframes for Global Sydney, Greater Sydney and Regional NSW, with recommended projects estimated to cost $30million over 20 years. Among its recommendations for the next 5-10 years is a ‘Northern Beaches bus corridor improvement plan incorporating Spit Bridge augmentation and priority lanes’. In the 0-5 year timeframe the Strategy includes construction of the Northern Beaches Healthcare precinct (Hospital) at Frenchs Forest – recognising this as an existing government commitment. A State Infrastructure Plan which identifies 5-year funding for delivery of the Strategy, is currently being prepared.
NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan 2012 The NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan 2012 outlines State Government proposals to improve services and invest in infrastructure for public transport, roads and freight. The Plan ‘sets the framework to guide transport decision-making for the next 20 years’. The Plan ‘supports the goals of NSW 2021 and integrates with the Metropolitan Strategy for Sydney – our 20 year plan to build liveable places across Sydney – and the Government’s response to the State Infrastructure Strategy, which confirms our infrastructure investment over the next two decades’. A series of Regional Transport Plans will also be developed to address each region’s transport needs and priorities, together with other detailed plans including Sydney’s Rail Future, the NSW Freight and Ports Strategy and Sydney’s Light Rail Future. Among the Plan’s 220 short, medium and long term actions are plans for a second harbour rail crossing, improvements to bus and ferry services and infrastructure, and ongoing work on the feasibility of bus rapid transit for the Northern Beaches.

Mosman’sVision Regional Plan for Sydney August 2012
SHOROC Regional Directions
The Regional Plan for Sydney is an initiative of Regional Development Australia (RDA)– a multi-government partnership created to strengthen regional and urban communities. This 12 month plan outlines ‘the RDA Sydney Committee’s economic, environmental and social vision for the region, articulating the drivers of change, identifying strengths, assets, weaknesses and opportunities, and listing priorities for action’. For the purposes of this plan, the Sydney Region comprises 41 local government areas. Its current priority areas focus on integrated whole of Sydney planning, provision of jobs closer to home, fostering of social inclusion through economic and workforce means and innovative place based solutions and models. The plan does not currently include any localised initiatives specific to Mosman or to northern Sydney.
In September 2010, the Shore Regional Organisation of Councils (SHOROC – a collaboration of Mosman, Manly, Warringah and Pittwater Councils) adopted ‘Shaping our Future – Directions for transport, health, housing and jobs for a vibrant sustainable SHOROC region’. Since its adoption this regional strategy has provided a significant lobbying tool for the SHOROC region and will continue to direct regional efforts in coming years. A sustainability action plan ‘Shaping Our Sustainable Future’ was adopted in 2011 to support the principles contained in Shaping our Future, and Shaping Our Future Way of Life – an action plan for creating vibrant communities and economies - will also be developed in 2013. Mosman Council has and will continue to take an active role in SHOROC planning processes and will also work with the Northern Sydney ROC (NSROC) for the benefit of the area.

Local & Regional Partnerships As well as Mosman’s affiliation with SHOROC, Council partners with many community and government agencies at both regional and local level to deliver services, share information and advocate for a better future. These relationships are an essential part of Council operations and contribute significantly to the achievement of local outcomes.

Issues and Challenges Through MOSPLAN, Council aims to acknowledge and address the issues and challenges that face our community. Some of these challenges are quite localised, while others reflect broader agendas, regional imperatives and Mosman’s place in metropolitan Sydney.
PAGE 26 | MOSPLAN 2013-2023 ADOPTED 4 JUNE 2013
Mosman’sVision Protecting Residential Amenity First and foremost Mosman is a residential area – a place that provides a premier living environment for residents. A continuing challenge for Council is to protect and nurture the area’s unique features so that the community continues to enjoy the excellent Mosman lifestyle. This means making sure that amenity in residential neighbourhoods is thoughtfully and sympathetically preserved and that priority is given to providing high quality sporting, recreational and public spaces. It also means conserving Mosman’s exceptional natural landscape and maintaining a real sense of community for future generations. Issues such as external regulation, limited resources, regional impacts and competing priorities mean that the task of protecting and nurturing Mosman’s residential amenity is not always easy. Nevertheless, it remains a core priority of Council to plan, provide and advocate for the protection and enhancement of the type of place Mosman residents value.
Transport In Council’s 2012 Community Survey, 45% of respondents nominated traffic issues as their greatest area of concern over the next 5 – 10 years. The Military Road/Spit Road corridor is a major contributor to traffic frustrations in Mosman and Council has over many years been active in advocating for improved transport solutions along this route. In 2010, Council joined with its SHOROC colleagues to endorse ‘Shaping our Future’, a regional strategy that places strong emphasis on improved outcomes along both this corridor and corridors east-west from the northern beaches. This united voice has already resulted in the NSW Government commissioning a bus rapid transit pre-feasibility study. Transport improvements have also been foreshadowed in key NSW planning documents including the State Infrastructure Strategy (2012), NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan (2012) and Northern Beaches Regional Action Plan (2012). Most recently, the draft Metropolitan Strategy for Sydney identifies the Mona Vale to CBD route as one of six high-priority transport corridors requiring improvement. Ongoing regional involvement and advocacy will be critical to maintaining the current momentum for improved traffic solutions.
PAGE 27
Planning Landscape Mosman’s Local Environmental Plan (LEP) was legally made in December 2011 and came into effect on 1 February last year. New Development Control Plans were subsequently adopted by Council in March 2012. The preparation of each of these environmental planning instruments was undertaken in close consultation with the community and required extended advocacy and negotiation with the State Government. The Mosman Development Assessment Panel (MDAP) is close to completing its second full year of operation and, while this panel is responsible for development applications not otherwise dealt with by staff, the elected Council retains responsibility for developing and refining the strategic policy framework against which such applications are assessed. This includes monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of Mosman’s new planning instruments.
A comprehensive review of the MDAP and the local development application process more generally is underway and will assist Council in determining the best way forward for development assessment. Having been involved in both local and regional submissions, Council has maintained a close watch on progress of the Planning Reform White Paper, the outcome of which could see significant changes to the building and development process. The White Paper was released on 16 April 2013 and Council has prepared a comprehensive submission for consideration by the NSW Government. A new draft Metropolitan Strategy for Sydney was also released last month and this latest Strategy (which replaces the previous Metropolitan Plan 2036) will again have implications for planning at the local and regional level. Council has raised objection to its inclusion in the central SubRegion proposed in the draft strategy.
Changing Demographics As indicated on pages 4–7 of MOSPLAN, our demographic makeup continues to change, with a growing proportion of residents in older age brackets. This presents challenges not only in catering for larger numbers of older residents, but also Mosman’s capacity to support a healthy mix of ages, a strong working-age population, housing options that attract diverse households, and a community that is vital, engaged and connected. Council is wellplaced to help address these challenges through provision and facilitation of services, infrastructure and positive planning frameworks at the local level.
PAGE 28 | MOSPLAN 2013-2023 ADOPTED 4 JUNE 2013
Mosman’sVision Local Government Futures The future of local government in NSW has come under close scrutiny over the past 12 months. In March last year an Independent Local Government Review Panel was established by the Minister for Local Government, the Hon. Don Page, MP, to ‘examine options for governance models, structural arrangements and voluntary boundary changes for local government in NSW’. Mosman has actively monitored and participated in the panel’s lengthy review, which is expected to culminate with a final report and recommendations to the NSW Government in July this year. It is anticipated that the panel’s report will propose future governance arrangements quite different to those currently in place, and this may involve amalgamation of Councils or new ways of delivering local government functions at a regional level. Of relevance to this issue is the following question that was put to all Mosman electors at the last local government elections in September 2012: Do you favour the amalgamation of Mosman Council with any other Council(s) to create a larger Local Government Authority? A resounding 81.3% of voters voted “NO” to this question, providing a good indication of local support for maintaining Mosman Council’s future independence. This vote follows on from 5 similar votes taken over the last 40 years, each of which demonstrated strong support for retaining Mosman Council in its current form. The Committee for an Independent Mosman has recently been formed to provide a local voice on the reform process and to ensure Mosman’s best interests are protected. The independent panel’s final final consultation paper was released in late April 2013. Among other things, this paper proposes a possible amalgamation of Mosman, North Sydney,
Willoughby, Lane Cove, Hunters Hill (and possibly parts of Ryde) local government areas. Mosman, along with other Councils, has resolved to reject the report with respect to amalgamation and reaffirm Council’s support for the NSW Government policy of no forced amalgamation. Council has also resolved to support regional organisations as the instrument of shared services and to support, in principle, the merger of the Northern Sydney and Shore Region of Councils (NSROC and SHOROC).
Health The health landscape has undergone considerable change over the last year and is expected to continue its evolution for some time as new Federal and State frameworks and priorities are implemented. Changes to Royal North Shore Hospital, amendments to the delivery of community health services, the long-promised Northern Beaches Hospital, re-establishment of the Cremorne Community Health Centre and the establishment of the new Northern Sydney Local Health District and Sydney North Shore and Beaches Medicare Local are all matters that Council has taken an active interest in. In 2011 Council undertook a local health needs analysis to ensure that Mosman is best prepared for future proposed changes to health service delivery and so that Council can continue to make a positive contribution to health and lifestyle outcomes in our community.

Delivering the Vision Mosman’s Vision, and the underlying values and commitments that support it, are reflected in 4 MOSPLAN Themes that direct Council operations. These Themes are:
Social Environment Economic Governance The SOCIAL theme is Council’s people theme. It is about delivering and facilitating services to the community - including services for all ages and abilities, volunteering, Aboriginal culture and heritage, library services, Council’s website and electronic engagement, the art gallery, cultural activities, festive events and friendship communities.
The ENVIRONMENT theme is about providing and protecting the type of living environment our community deserves. It covers urban planning, heritage planning and protection, development assessment, ecological sustainability, biodiversity conservation, waste management and street cleaning, environmental health management, water, air and noise management, traffic, transport, roads and cycling, public places, open space management, community and recreational facilities. The ECONOMIC theme is about local economic prosperity - including business liaison and support, vitality of business centres, local employment, and sensitively marketing Mosman. The GOVERNANCE theme is about providing support for all Council functions and also about leadership and engagement. This includes Council meetings, consultation, finance and budgeting, integrated planning, community safety, ranger services, information technology and human resource management, as well as regional planning and cooperation. These Themes are supported by a series of 10 Programs that form Council’s 4-year Delivery Program and 1-year Operational Plan.

Measuring Performance It is essential that we measure performance to gauge whether the type of future we envisage for Mosman is actually being achieved, and how Council is doing in delivering on MOSPLAN objectives. The MOSPLAN performance measurement framework takes a 3-tiered approach comprising:
1
Community Sustainability Indicators
These indicators help track the sustainability, wellbeing and liveability of Mosman as a place and as a community. They are organised according to MOSPLAN’s 4 themes, and each is matched with a desired direction for the future.
Importantly, Community Sustainability Indicators (CSIs) for the Social, Environment and Economic themes are about whole-of-community performance, not Council performance alone. Council’s degree of influence over these indicators is variable; often there are a number of factors outside our control that can affect the outcomes significantly.
2
Key Performance Indicators Corporate
3
Key Performance Indicators Programs
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) provide insight into how Council, as an efficient and progressive local government organisation, is delivering against the 4 MOSPLAN themes. These Indicators are not subject to the same level of external influence as Community Sustainability Indicators for the Environment, Social and Economic themes, and therefore can be confidently viewed as true measures of Council performance.

As the point of ‘cross-over’ between CSIs and KPIs, the Corporate Key Performance Indicators replicate the Community Sustainability Indicators for the Governance theme. The diagram on the facing page illustrates how the Performance Measurement Framework operates across MOSPLAN Themes and Programs. The Community Sustainability Indicators and Corporate Key Performance Indicators are shown on pages 42–43, while measures at Program level can be found in the Delivery Program and Operational Plan commencing on page 83. In addition to the above framework, further operational measures also assist in the dayto-day planning, delivery and assessment of services. These measures are currently under review in conjunction with improvements to Council’s business planning systems and processes.
Regional Indicators Council also has access to a series of regional Indicators against which it can track local wellbeing and gain a better understanding of the ‘health of the region’ overall. In 2011 the Shore Regional Organisation of Councils (SHOROC) agreed on a set of indicators to gauge regional well-being and a number of these indicators mirror the Community Sustainability Indicators established for Mosman. Progress against both regional and local indicators will be reported upon regularly by Council and SHOROC.

ResourcingStrategy
Introduction This Resourcing Strategy looks at the resources needed by Council to deliver our Vision for Mosman. It represents an essential link between the Vision, the four Themes under which we are delivering the Vision, and Council’s four-year Delivery Program and annual Operational Plan. The Resourcing Strategy provides an overview of how Council will meet its obligations in the short, medium and longer term, taking into account financial, workforce and infrastructure assets. It aims to ensure that these obligations are met in an integrated and sustainable way.
On the following pages, information is provided in relation to: Managing Assets Managing People Managing Finances The above elements work together to provide a cohesive resource base for Council’s operations. In ‘Managing Finances’, the focus is not only on long term financial planning for the next 10 years; detail is also provided on Council’s budget for the 2013-2014 financial year as well as the four year Delivery Program 2013-2017.
PAGE 47
Managing Assets
Asset Management Plans
Mosman Council owns and manages assets with a current replacement cost of over $652 million.
Asset Management Plans provide detailed information on how to manage assets. These plans include asset condition, life cycle analysis, asset replacement costs and future maintenance requirements. The asset management plans cover the following: 1 Roads – this covers roads, kerb and gutter, footpaths, rock faces, retaining walls and traffic devices like roundabouts and refuge islands 2 Marine Structures – this covers Mosman’s jetties and baths and seawalls 3 Open Space – this covers parks, ovals and bushland 4 Buildings – this covers all Council owned and managed buildings 5 Stormwater – this covers all pits, pipes, creeks, water tanks and pollution control devices
These assets include: Marine structures Parks, ovals and open space Buildings Roads, footpaths and retaining walls Stormwater drainage. In 2009 Mosman Council adopted its Asset Management Policy and Strategy and these are being updated in 2013. In 2013 Asset Management Plans for each asset class were finalised and adopted by Council.
PAGE 48 | MOSPLAN 2013-2023 ADOPTED 4 JUNE 2013
ResourcingStrategy Standards of Asset Management and Community Involvement The completion of Asset Management Plans has highighted that more investment is needed to maintain assets at an agreed standard. In 2011, to assist us in determining this standard and the level of service to the community, an Asset Management Reference Group was established. This included volunteer community members with experience in the fields of accounting, infrastructure and state government policy. The group continues to provide valuable input to Council.
Integrating Asset Management and Financial Planning The progressive development of Asset Management Plans has helped identify the real extent of infrastructure works necessary to achieve satisfactory and sustainable service levels. This in turn has highlighted the current and expected deficiencies in resources available to fund the necessary works, representing a significant challenge for Council finances in coming years. The ongoing challenge to renew our assets at a rate equal to the depreciation is likely to become even more difficult as asset management planning advances.
PAGE 49
The next major step is the integration of the 10 year work programs into Council’s Long Term Financial Plan. With the completion of the asset management plans more detailed models have been developed to compare the funding required in the work plans to the existing funding attributed to our assets. These models are predicated on various assumptions and two scenarios are shown on the next page. The scenarios compare the impact of the current infrastructure levies and the impact if they were not to continue. Also included in the second model is the Stormwater Levy to commence in 2013/2014 and income derived from the Bridgepoint signage directed to asset renewals.
Priorities ahead
The recent $2 million investment in assets through the First Round Local Infrastructure Renewal Scheme and the proposed $2 million expenditure under the Second Round in 2013/2014 will have a significant impact on asset maintenance and renewal in Mosman. It is clear given the models that further real progress will not be made without taking further steps such as the implementation of a Stormwater Levy and the extension of Council’s Community Environmental Contract and conversion into an Infrastructure Levy when it expires in 2017.
Integrating the Asset Management Plans into Council’s Long Term Financial Plan Providing a sustainable funding model that meets community needs Developing and implementing an integrated decision support system Consulting the community in regards to levies with a view to further funding asset maintenance and renewal Ensuring compliance with Division for Local Government requirements and the National Frameworks for Asset Management
Over the last 4 years Mosman has significantly improved its position when it comes to Asset Management. Complete inventories are now established for roads, building, marine and open space and Stormwater assets. Although by no means an issue unique to Mosman, how and when assets are maintained and renewed in the future will have real impacts for planning and decision making in the years to come. There is an identified renewal gap and continued work is being done to address this. The challenge for Council over the next four years will involve:

Stormwater Levy In 2013 Mosman Council completed its Stormwater Asset Management Plan. This involved inspection of thousands of pits and CCTV surveying over 11km of pipeline. The results of this study have indicated that significant additional investment is needed in this area. All Governments have acknowledged that traditional funding sources are not enough to maintain key public infrastructure in an adequate and safe condition. The Local Government Act provides councils with the ability to implement a program of major improvements to stormwater management to be funded by a Stormwater Levy. This provision reflects the fact that councils need additional funds, beyond their usual budget, to be able to undertake this large amount of work.
Council will increase its rate of stormwater management work and apply a Stormwater Levy to ratepayers from the 2013/2014 financial year. This work will bring substantial benefits including a safer local environment. It will allow an additional allocation of approximately $250K per year (a minimum of $240,625 in 2013/2014) to be dedicated to significant stormwater related projects identified through the Stormwater Asset Management Plan 10 year work plan. This is in addition to funds already allocated in the budget for stormwater projects.
How will the funds collected be used?
In accordance with the Local Government Act, Stormwater Levy charges for 2013/2014 will be: Residential Property: $25 per annum Residential Strata Property: $12.50 per annum Business Property: $25 per annum Business Strata Property: $12.50 per annum. Funds raised through the Stormwater Levy will be allocated to urgent work that will improve the management of stormwater throughout Mosman. Projects identified over the next 4 years include those shown on the facing page:

Managing People Workforce Planning is the continuous process of shaping the workforce to ensure it is capable of delivering the organisation’s objectives now and in the future.
The Workforce Planning Framework Council’s Workforce Plan, last reviewed in 2013, is underpinned by the Workforce Planning Framework shown here:
PAGE 54 | MOSPLAN 2013-2023 ADOPTED 4 JUNE 2013
ResourcingStrategy Our Workforce Plan Mosman Council is a diverse organisation that operates across a range of industry sectors. We provide a broad range of services to the community, from human-related services (support for aged and disabled, child care, library and art gallery) to design and construction services (roads and traffic, development and planning) and recreation services (Marie Bashir Mosman Sports Centre, Mosman Drill Hall and parks and reserves). To deliver such a range of services, we require a diverse workforce with varied skills, qualifications and experience. These include specialist technicians such as environmental scientists, engineers and town planners, as well as people who deliver frontline services and maintain local amenities on a daily basis.
To ensure Council is best servicing the needs of the community we regularly monitor our workforce profile. Council employs 162 full time equivalent staff. 58% of our employees are female and the average age is 43 years. 52% of staff travel less than 10km to work, with 14% of staff living within Mosman. Our mix of employment type reflects Council’s support for family friendly employment practices, with 16% of permanent staff working part time and 78% working full time. Council has an excellent staff retention rate, with 60% of the organisation having worked for Mosman for 5 years or more, and 32% of staff having worked for more than 10 years.

The Workforce Plan identifies challenges that this workforce may present Council with over the coming years, highlighting areas that need to be monitored and managed. At Mosman, these include: An ageing workforce: 34% of employees are over 50 years of age, and 10% over 60. Multiple retirements over coming years will present challenges including the risk of lost corporate knowledge. Recruitment of the new General Manager before September 2013. Skills shortages in the marketplace. Attraction: Ensuring we are attracting the right candidates to Mosman. Retention: Ensuring we are able to retain the right people with the required skills, experience and organisational fit.
The Workforce Plan details the key strategies underway to mitigate the potential risks in the workforce profile, to enable successful delivery of MOSPLAN objectives. Strategies to overcome these challenges include: Focussing on talent identification and management, mentoring, leadership development and succession planning. Performance planning and management around workforce capability and skill gap analysis. Focus on transfer of knowledge, multi-skilling, promoting professional development and training opportunities for staff. Improving careers advertising and marketing. Continuing to foster a culture of fairness and equity, with support of EEO groups including women and people with a disability. Striving to be an employer of choice. We aim to reflect the diversity of the local community, supporting equal employment opportunities and equity within Council.

Managing Finances Good financial management requires attention to both the immediate and long term sustainability of Council operations. The following pages outline financial forecasts and budget detail across 10, 4, and 1 year MOSPLAN horizons.
Budget 2013-2014 Budget Summary The General Fund budget result for 2013/2014 is a projected surplus of $75,655. Funding has at least been maintained across all service levels with funding and revenue sources largely increased by 3% to reflect inflation. Rate income is recommended to increase by the Independent Pricing & Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) calculated 3.4% with Domestic Waste differential charging to be maintained with a recommended increase of 3%. A Stormwater Levy will be introduced for the first time raising anticipated (minimum) additional revenue of $240,625 and this additional income will begin to address stormwater backlog works being identified within the Stormwater Asset Management Plan. The chargeable amount has been prescribed under the Local Government Act as follows: Residential Property: $25 per annum Residential Strata Property: $12.50 per annum Business Property: $25 per annum Business Strata Property: $12.50 per annum

Revenue Policy Rating Structure Total revenue raised from the levying of land rates continues to be capped by the State Government with the Independent Pricing & Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) having developed a Local Government Cost Index (LGCI) for use in setting the maximum allowable increase in general income for local government in 2013/2014. The LGCI is a measure of movements in the unit costs incurred by NSW Councils for ordinary council activities funded from general rate revenue. It compares changes within a given time period to that of a base year with cost components of the index including: employee benefits and on costs, construction, buildings, plant and equipment, road, footpath, kerbing and drainage, and other business services. IPART has approved a rate increase to a maximum of 3.4% in 2013/14 and Council’s 2013/2014 budget is based on taking up the full 3.4% increase.
Rating Categories There are two categories of rates: Residential Business Council operates a base rating system whereby 50% of residential rate revenue is derived from a rate in the dollar (ad valorem) calculation based on all rateable land value within the council area with the remaining 50% derived from a base rate which is calculated by dividing the remaining rate revenue by the number of assessable properties. The same system operates with the business category however the split is 60% ad valorem and 40% base rate.
Residential There are 12,505 assessments which will provide revenue of $15.404M in 2013/2014. The rate in the dollar will approximate $0.0715 and the Base Rate $615. Total Rateable Land Value approximates $10,770,515,145.
PAGE 66 | MOSPLAN 2013-2023 ADOPTED 4 JUNE 2013
ResourcingStrategy Business There are 593 assessments which will provide revenue of $1.661M in 2013/2014. The rate in the dollar will approximate $0.2168 and the Base Rate $1,120. Total Rateable Land Value approximates $459,760,695.
Special Variations Included in the revenue detailed above are two special rate variations. The Community Environmental Contract (CEC) was introduced in July 2000 (following approval by the State Government for a 5% increase in general revenue) allowing Council to undertake significant works in the following areas:
completed and the CEC revenue until its expiration in 2016/2017 will be used to extinguish the debt from loans raised to undertake the work. The Infrastructure Levy was introduced in July 2008 (following approval by the State Government for a 5.99% increase in general revenue) allowing Council to provide much needed additional funding to its infrastructure assets such as: Roads Footpaths Drains Buildings Retaining Walls Open Space Marine Structures
Stormwater Quality Bushland Creek Rehabilitation Seawall Remediation/Construction
$927,000 will be allocated from the rate revenue derived for these works in 2013/2014. The Debt repayment allocation is $194K & works $733K. Unlike the CEC, this levy has no sunset clause.
$747,000 will be allocated from the rate revenue derived to the CEC in 2013/2014. It should be noted that all on the ground works have been

Interest Charges
The Domestic Waste Management Service is provided on a full cost recovery basis. A resident has a choice of the following size bins/fee structure in 2013/2014: 1 × 80 litre mobile garbage bin
$297
1 × 120 litre mobile garbage bin
$483
1 × 240 litre mobile garbage bin
$1,009
(available only to existing customers)
The above rates include the following services for houses, with other arrangements for multi unit dwellings with shared services: Weekly waste collection Fortnightly glass and containers Fortnightly paper and cardboard Monthly green waste
Pension Subsidy Pensioners who hold a Pensioner Concession card and own and occupy rateable property in Mosman receive a mandatory rebate on Rates and Domestic Waste Management up to a maximum of $250. Council also offers a voluntary rebate to Australian Service Veterans who do not qualify for a pensioner rate rebate up to a maximum of $125.
In 2013/14 it is proposed that interest charges on unpaid rates and charges will accrue on a daily basis at the rate of 9%.
Stormwater Levy As detailed previously, Council will introduce a Stormwater Levy from 1 July 2013.
Annual Fees and Charges In accordance with Section 608 of the Local Government Act, 1993 and other relevant legislation, Council can charge and recover approved fees and charges for any service it provides. For 2013/14 these are included in the document entitled ‘2013/14 Pricing Policy and Schedule of Fees & Charges’. This document forms part of, but is published separately to, MOSPLAN. The fees and charges are generally intended to be imposed on the following services provided by Council: Supply of a product, service or commodity Giving of information Providing a service in connection with the exercise of the Council’s regulatory functions, including receiving an application for approval, granting an approval, making an inspection and issuing a certificate Allowing admission to any building or enclosure Allowing use or benefit from Council’s assets, possessions, etc

ResourcingStrategy Mosman Council’s general policy in determining the amount of fees to be charged for goods and services considers the following factors: The cost of providing the service The importance of the service to the community Prices fixed by the relevant industry body/ies Any factors specified in the Local Government Regulations Equity factors User pays principle Financial objectives Impact of Tax Reform (GST) Market Prices In cases where a fee and/or charge is determined by legislation or other regulatory bodies, Council’s policy is not to determine an amount that is inconsistent with any fee or charge so determined. All Council’s fees and charges not subject to statutory control are reviewed on an annual basis prior to finalisation of Council’s draft Budget. However, in special circumstances, fees and charges can be reviewed and approved by Council at other times, subject to any relevant legislative requirements. As per Australian Taxation Office guidelines, all fees and charges are continuing to be reviewed to assess for the impact of the GST.

Long Term Financial Plan 2013-2023 10 Year Financial Model Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 year financial model underpins the Community Strategic Plan. The model is developed using current base year data and by applying projected movements in a number of key drivers over its life.
Key Revenue Assumptions Rates & Annual Charges Total revenue raised from the levying of land rates is capped by the State Government with the Independent Pricing & Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) developing a Local Government Cost Index (LGCI) for use in setting the maximum allowable increase in general income for local government. The model allows for a 3.4% increase in 2013/2014 which amounts to an increase in revenue to the general fund of $505,000. An index of 3% has been used over its remaining life.
Included within the estimated Rates and Annual Charges are allocations for both the Community Environmental Contract (CEC) and Infrastructure Levy. It should be noted that the CEC ceases in 2016/2017, however the Infrastructure Levy has no sunset clause. Included within the Model from 2013/2014 is a Stormwater Levy which is estimated to raise $240,625 annually for allocation to important stormwater capital infrastructure initiatives. This line item also includes the revenue associated with the Domestic Waste Service. An annual increase of 3% has been used throughout the model as the Council has developed an adequate External Reserve which should act as a buffer for any significant increases in the future with particular reference to disposal costs.
User Charges & Fees Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s user charges are diverse and include items such as: planning and regulatory revenues, community services functions, property rentals, parking fees and engineering services. The Pricing Policy sets out the specific fee structures which source the revenues for this key line item. It is important that Council remains competitive in the marketplace and the current inflation rate is the mechanism which drives the pricing structure. An inflation rate of 3% has been used throughout the model.
PAGE 70 | MOSPLAN 2013-2023 ADOPTED 4 JUNE 2013
ResourcingStrategy Interest & Investment Revenue The return on Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s short term investments has been heavily influenced by market forces in recent times. The movements within the model are based on rates of 4.50% in 2013/14 & 2014/15 with modest increases to a peak of 5.50% in 2020/21.
Other Revenues This line item largely contains revenue from the leasing of Investment Properties which include sites such as the Mosman Square Shops, Library Walk Shops & Flats, Balmoral Bathers Pavilion, Boronia House and regulatory fines. The rental on Investment Properties has been indexed at 3%, with Regulatory income indexed at 1%.
Grants & Contributions for Capital Purposes Council has been successful in recent years in attracting capital funding which has allowed for the expansion of many projects particularly those at Drill Hall Common and the Community Environmental Contract. The 2013/2014 Budget provides for capital funding particularly that to be sourced from the Roads & Maritime Services to embellish the infrastructure program. However as capital grants are very much project based they are not relied upon as a recurrent source within the model. The model over its life provides for static Open Space Contributions of $1M with indexed Roads to Recovery funding sourced from the Commonwealth.
Grants & Contributions for Operating Purposes Operating grants play a significant role in shoring up Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contribution to the many services it provides. The largest single component is the general component of the Financial Assistance Grant which it receives via the Commonwealth and will approximate $605K in 2013/2014. Grants for community services such as Aged and Childrens Services also receive funding. The model is based on an inflationary figure of 3%.
PAGE 71
Key Expenses Assumptions Employee Benefits & On-Costs The Local Government State Award provided for an annual increase in salaries and wages of 3.25% over the next 2 years. The 3.25% is being utilised over the life of the model. To help Australians be more self sufficient in retirement, the Federal Government in its 2010/2011 Budget announced a staged increase in the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) effective from 2013/2014 which will see the SG gradually increase from 9% up to 12% by 2019. The costs associated with this action have been included within the model.
Borrowing Costs All costs associated with Council’s existing and currently proposed borrowing requirements have been included within the model. The model reveals a reduction in this expense over its life and much of Council’s existing debt will be extinguished within 10 years.
Materials & Contracts Mosman is a “contracting Council” in that all of its key service contracts such as Waste, Street & Gutter Cleaning, Beach & Reserve Cleaning, Amenity and Building Cleaning and Engineering/Open Space contracts are provided at market rates by external contractors. These contracts are indexed by the annual movement in the Sydney All Groups CPI as are all schedule of rate contracts, and are indexed within the model at 3%.
Depreciation & Amortisation This line item remains static throughout the model and is based on anticipated depreciation on all appropriate asset classes. There is an internal review currently being undertaken in relation to the development of appropriate unit rates and useful lives which may result in a reduction in this figure in the near future. All asset classes are booked in the Balance Sheet at fair value.
PAGE 72 | MOSPLAN 2013-2023 ADOPTED 4 JUNE 2013
ResourcingStrategy Other Expenses This line item contains significant operational type expenditures such as advertising, bank charges, computer software, contributions to other levels of government, councillor fees, electricity, insurance, leases, street lighting, postage and telecommunications. The model provides for annual incremental increases of 3%. Specific adjustments on an individual basis are made where information is available. (ie energy costs).
General Assumptions The model includes the following more specific assumptions: A second $2M loan application under the Local Government Infrastructure Renewal Scheme (LGIRS) has been built into the model with a 9 year repayment of principal and interest (3% discounted interest rate), with loan costs being funded by increased parking income. Additional parking income of $250K from 2014/15.
Allocated funding of $4.5M from the Domestic Waste Reserve for capital costs including potential contributions for an Alternate Waste Treatment facility at Kimbriki between 2014/15 and 2022/23 Allocated funding of $5M from the Section 94 Reserve for future open space purchases between 2016/17 and 2019/20 In anticipation of an application to continue the existing 5% Environmental Levy with a detailed business case to be presented to IPART to help address infrastructure shortfalls and backlogs, the amount has been maintained from 2017/18 Continuation of existing policy of certain employees (Senior Staff/Managers) absorbing the cost of the Superannuation Guarantee from their total remuneration packages No allocation of funds for the Raglan Street car park redevelopment

Outcomes
The 10 Year Financial model has been used to produce the following key documents for Council’s guidance over the next decade:
Income Statement The projected Income Statement reveals positive Net Operating Results post 2012/2013 which in the main is the result of increased revenue streams such as parking income, the stormwater levy, income from advertising on the Bridgepoint bridge and the maintenance of the Community Environmental Contract revenue stream post 2016/17, (where the majority of these income streams have their expenditure booked through the Balance Sheet), together with capital grants and contributions. The model indicates a reduced reliance on capital grants and contributions as a funding mechansim over the life of the model.
Balance Sheet The projections within the model provide for a very strong Balance Sheet with equity in excess of $464M in 2013/14, although current Liabilities in the main exceed Current Assets. This is due to Accounting Standards requiring Payables and a significant portion of Employee Provisions to be booked as Current Liabilities. The State Government however allows for a “history” based effect which enables local authorities to make adjustments which has a positive impact and creates the Unrestricted Current Ratio (detailed below).
Cash Flow The projected Cash Flow Statement provides positive flows throughout its lifecycle excluding 2016/17 & 2019/20 where $3M & $2M has been made available from the S94 Open Space Reserve for the purchase of appropriate open space assets.

ResourcingStrategy Each of the above documents can be found on pages 76-79 of MOSPLAN. As well as providing the 10-year forecasted financial position, these documents also illustrate the projected budget for Council’s 4-year Delivery Program and 1-year Operational Plan. Further 2013/14 budget detail for each of MOSPLAN’s 10 programs can be found in Section 5, commencing on page 89.
Key Financial Indicators The State Government sets down a number of key indicators as a benchmark for financial performance across NSW with commentary provided on the following: Unrestricted Current Ratio Current Assets less All External Restrictions Current Liabilities less Specific Purpose Liabilities
Debt Service Ratio Debt Service Cost (Principal & Interest) Income from Continuing Operations excluding Capital Items & Specific Purpose Grants/Contributions
The Unrestricted Current Ratio or Liquidity Ratio is an industry based indicator which measures the serviceability of debt. As detailed within the 10 year plan, the estimated position at 30 June 2013 will be 1.26:1. This means that Council has $1.26 in cash for every dollar of debt. The model predicts that this ratio will increase to a peak of 1.92:1 at 30 June 2023. Council’s financial position is such that borrowings are generally only undertaken to fund special projects. As detailed above there is an allocation of $2M included for 13/14 for LIRS Round 2 applications. At 30 June 2013, it is anticipated that Council will owe $11.196M in principal on its loans and deferred payment liabilities with repayment funding provided from the following sources: General Fund Section 94 CEC Infrastructure Levy
55% 19% 19% 7%
Council’s Debt Service Ratio at 30 June 2013 is predicted to be 6.39% with a reduction to less than 1% in 2022/2023.
