Introduction Our Plan MOSPLAN is our plan for Mosman’s future. It has been developed over a number of years and addresses the specific requirements of the NSW Government’s Integrated Planning and Reporting legislation. According to this legislation, Council must adopt: 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 fouryear Delivery Program and Council’s long-term vision

MOSPLAN is an integrated plan containing each of the three elements referred to above. Not only does it clearly 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, plans and supporting documents prepared by Council to address specific service areas or issues. Examples of these include Council’s Environment Management Plan and Social Planning Overview. 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. This framework, described further on pages 36-37 has both a strategic and operational focus. 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 (a new legislative requirement) is due at the conclusion of the 2008-2012 Council term.

Our Community MOSPLAN reflects the unique qualities of Mosman and its people. As a place and as a community, Mosman requires careful planning to ensure the best possible future.

Our Place

Mosman is a place of great 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 wonderful 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.

Our People

Mosman is home to some 28,000 residents, having experienced only minimal growth in its population in recent years. This trend is likely to continue, with the most significant demographic shifts expected 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 just under 30% have moved here from another country. In the five years to the last census in 2006, over 20% of Mosman residents has moved here from interstate or elsewhere in NSW. 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 Between 2001 and 2006 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 aged 0–11 increased, however young people aged 12–17 years declined in numbers. We are a highly mobile community. At the 2006 census Mosman residents were significantly more likely to catch a bus or ferry to work than other Sydneysiders, and less likely to drive to work. Residents were also more likely belong to a onevehicle household than people in other areas of Sydney.

When travelling to work, Mosman residents are most typically heading to the Sydney CBD (36%), while a further 20% work within the Mosman local government area. Of jobs offered in Mosman, the largest percentage (35%) are filled by Mosman


1 residents, with the next largest proportion of workers travelling from the northern beaches. Of more than 11,000 households in Mosman, the average household size in 2006 was 2.3 persons, although Mosman also has a significantly larger number of lone-person households than the Sydney average. Over 31% of Mosman homes are occupied by only one person, with family households (at 59%) remaining the predominant household type. Mosman residents live in a variety of dwellings. The proportion of separate houses (34%) is significantly smaller than for Sydney as a whole (57%), while the proportion of medium and high density dwellings is significantly above the figure for Sydney overall (2006 Census figures).

The qualifications of Mosman residents are higher than those for the average Sydney resident, and Mosman also has a larger proportion of high income households than the Sydney average. There is a significantly higher proportion of managers and professionals living in the area, and unemployment is low when compared to Sydney overall. Mosman is a connected community, with a higher proportion of volunteers than the Sydney average. Our connections via the web are also well above average.

Our Organisation Mayor & Councillors Mosman is governed by an elected Council comprising nine (9) Councillors across the three wards of Middle Harbour, Mosman Bay and Balmoral. The current term of Council commenced in 2008 and will conclude with the next local government elections in September 2012. At present the Mayor and Deputy Mayor are elected annually by Councillors. Councillor Anne Connon is the current Mayor and Councillor Simon Menzies the Deputy Mayor. At a constitutional referendum held in 2008, it was determined by the Mosman community that, from 2012, voters will popularly-elect the Mayor for a period of four years from 2012 onward. Prior to that time ward boundaries will also be adjusted to prepare for the revised governance arrangements. Details of Councillors elected for the 2008 -2012 Council term are provided below:

OurVision 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 this Vision to life, to provide a great place for current and future residents to enjoy.

Our Vision Proud to be Mosman Protecting our Heritage Planning our Future Involving our Community

Our Mission To protect and enhance the distinctive qualities of Mosman in a responsive, friendly and caring way

Our Values Council’s Vision and Mission are supported by a set of values that guide the way services are delivered. These values are: Integrity Leadership Selflessness Objectivity

PAGE 12 | MOSPLAN 2011-2021 ADOPTED 7|6|11

§ Accountability § Openness § Honesty § Respect


Our Commitments A number of core guiding principles or commitments ensure that Mosman Council remains progressive and responsive to community needs. These include:

Sustainability

Social Justice

Mosman Council has a strong commitment to sustainability in its broadest sense, encompassing corporate, economic, social and environmental outcomes. An Environmental Sustainability Action Plan was completed in 2010 detailing objectives across 3 and 10 year timeframes for corporate activities, atmosphere, water, biodiversity, land, waste, environmental education, engagement and community activities. Actions and performance indicators contained within the plan have informed MOSPLAN programming and have helped 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 the objectives and activities detailed under MOSPLAN’s Social Theme. In 2010 a Social Planning Overview was prepared to identify community development and service issues relevant to Mosman, and to provide input into MOSPLAN. The 2010 Social Planning Overview 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 well-being. This social analysis has continued to inform MOSPLAN, and is illustrated through the kinds of activities proposed to support and nurture our community members in future years. The Social Planning Overview 2010 can be accessed on Council’s website.

Innovation As a relatively small local government authority with limited resources, innovation is a key element of Mosman Council operations. Council staff are actively encouraged to consider new 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, the consultation process for Mosman’s Local Environmental Plan and our leading practice in web innovation.

Collaboration 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.

Customer Service

Council is committed to providing quality customer service. We achieve this by: 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

PAGE 13


Bringing the Vision to Life In 2010 Council undertook extensive community consultation, enabling Councillors to develop

.

Vision 2050 is a glimpse into the future of Mosman and a reflection of Councillors’ long-term aspirations for the Mosman community. It builds on Council’s adopted Vision and Mission, providing further detail and focus. The 10 year objectives contained within this Community Strategic Plan, the 4 year objectives contained in the Delivery Program, and the programs, projects and initiatives detailed in the Delivery Program and Operational Plan all have links to Vision 2050. Vision 2050 is based around 5 key priorities – Urban Planning, Environment, Transport, Community and Economy.

Urban Planning Domestic scale architecture maintained except on Spit/Military corridor. Traditional strip shopping centre appearance and vitality reinforced. A maximum population of 30,000 in 2050 (presently 28,356) A maximum 700 new dwellings provided over the next 40 years. A diversity of housing choice to ensure a demographic mix including ‘ageing in place’. Adoption of sustainable lifestyle and building options for new and existing buildings encouraged. The special natural and man made qualities of foreshore and open space areas protected and enhanced. Mosman’s heritage conserved. Spit Junction recognised as having potential for imaginative commercial/retail/residential development to complement the traditional Military Road strip shopping precinct and the new village hub and commons.

Environment Climate change addressed using strategies that include mitigation, adaptation and resilience measures in order to play our part in the global future. Long-lasting sustainable behaviours fostered and improved through raised awareness/ knowledge of sustainability concepts. Lifestyle and the environment enhanced through sustainable building practices. Biodiversity preserved and enhanced on both private and public property including beaches, reserves, bushland and green open spaces.

Transport State/Federal Governments lobbied regarding rail option on Roseville corridor. Bus and ferry services for Mosman and the Northern Beaches improved so that people prefer using public transport as the mode of choice. No further expansion of capacity of the Spit/ Military corridor, but reallocation of that capacity to give buses priority when needed. No further elimination of parking along the corridor. Wynyard bus interchange capacity issues solved.

Green renewable energy sources, and energy efficiency and conservation measures adopted for both private and public property.

Reliance on private vehicles for short journey to work/recreation trips reduced.

Total water cycle management approaches used that maximise conservation, efficiency, reuse and recycling of water including stormwater harvesting and reuse.

Opportunities for pedestrian and bicycle transport maximised at local and regional levels.

Waste reduced significantly through avoidance, minimisation, reuse and recycling via local and regional initiatives. Sustainable transport taken up using an integrated network of walking and cycling paths throughout Mosman. Sustainability outcomes improved by lobbying Federal and State Governments to advocate for stronger policy and legislation. Sophisticated approaches such as sustainability indicators, lifecycle management and systems-thinking used to address sustainability challenges.

Community Engagement 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.

Listening to our Community

2010 Mosman Community Survey

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 ‘Street Speak’ sessions outand-about in Mosman to hear what the community is saying. We’ve also used a variety of surveys and questionnaires to get a sense of community sentiment on a range of issues and proposed projects. The feedback received through this engagement has contributed to the development of both our long-term Vision for Mosman, as well Council’s Delivery Program and Operational Plan.

The major survey conducted by Council in the lead-up to development of this MOSPLAN was the 2010 Community Survey. A survey of this kind has not been conducted since 2006, however it is now intended that the survey be carried out once every two years. This will coincide with the middle and end of each Council term, the next survey being due in June/July 2012. The 2010 Mosman Community Survey, conducted by independent market researchers, was completed by over 400 randomly-selected residents across Mosman’s three wards. Residents were asked a series of questions about Council performance, as well as being asked to voice their views on key local issues and community well-being. So what did the 2010 Survey tell us? The following is a summary of some of the key findings:

Vision 2050 Consultation

PAGE 16 | MOSPLAN 2011-2021 ADOPTED 7|6|11


What did the survey tell us? The survey results indicate not only that community satisfaction has improved since the last survey of this type in 2006, but also that Mosman Council rates ahead of its metropolitan counterparts. Overall community satisfaction with Council’s performance rose from a mean score of 6.53 out of 10 in 2006 to 6.70 in 2010. This places Council above the average satisfaction achieved by comparable councils in the Sydney metropolitan area. The survey results also indicate that residents feel they are getting better value for their rates dollar than they were four years ago, providing a mean rating of 6.22 out of 10 in 2010 compared to 5.85 in 2006. For survey respondents who could recall recent contact with either Council staff or Councillors, satisfaction levels were again encouraging. Satisfaction with staff overall rose a full point from 6.5 to 7.5 between 2006 and 2010. Councillor performance ratings also rose on 2006 levels, being just above the metropolitan average.

Long Term Priorities What were the main issues of concern identified by Mosman residents over the next 5-10 years? Respondents to the 2010 Community Survey listed their ‘Top 3’ as follows: Traffic, transport and roads Overdevelopment Parking Making up the ‘Top 5’, but with considerably lower scores than the ‘Top 3’ were: Environment and Climate Change Over population and overcrowding

What’s Important? Survey respondents were asked to rank 34 Council services and facilities in order of importance. Highest on resident’s ‘Importance’ list were (in order): Waste and recycling collection Provision and maintenance of parklands Overall cleanliness, appearance and management of public spaces Providing and maintaining footpaths Management and protection of the environment Provision of car parking

How Satisfied Are Mosman Residents? As well as rating the importance of 34 services and facilities, respondents were also asked to rate Council performance in relation to each. Top of the resident’s satisfaction list were (in order): Library services Provision and maintenance of parklands Waste and recycling collection services Overall cleanliness, appearance and management of public spaces Services and facilities for families and children

PAGE 18 | MOSPLAN 2011-2021 ADOPTED 7|6|11


What can we do better? Importantly, the 2010 Community Survey also indicated that there are still areas for improvement. Lowest satisfaction scores were recorded for (in order): the development approvals process; providing and maintaining better bike paths; enforcement of parking restrictions; provision of car parking and condition of public toilets. Each of these is already receiving attention by Council, with the proposed Independent Assessment Panel and recent amenities upgrades at foreshore locations being key examples of Council’s active response to community concerns.

How Does Mosman Council’s Performance Compare? In every instance where satisfaction ratings for individual services/facilities could be compared with results in other metropolitan council areas, the 2010 Community Survey showed that Mosman either matched or exceeded the average. In seven cases Mosman’s service delivery recorded the highest satisfaction score of all benchmarked councils.

Community Connectedness

Big Ideas for the Future

Results from the 2010 Community Survey indicate that Mosman retains a good sense of community, with a high level of community pride. Nearly all residents agree ‘highly’ that they feel safe in their home and feel safe walking around their neighbourhood. 83.7% of residents consider that their neighbourhood is a friendly place to live and a little over 82% say they can call on a relative or neighbour if they need assistance.

Council’s latest move to actively engage residents in planning for Mosman’s future is the ‘Big Ideas’ online forum. Launched in March 2011, Big Ideas seeks to harness the creativity and innovative thinking of Mosman residents. It allows people to log their own ‘big idea’ for Mosman’s future, as well as vote and/or comment on others ideas. Big Ideas is an ongoing community conversation that will continue to feed into Council’s planning processes. It’s not just open during MOSPLAN consultations, but 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. To access the site visit ideas.mosman.nsw. gov.au

Local Identity Survey respondents were asked to complete the sentence ‘Mosman Is...’. Some of the top responses to this challenge were: A wonderful/great place to live A beautiful place My home Perfect/Paradise/The best place to live

Working Together The ongoing planning that Council undertakes, the services it delivers and the role that it plays as civic leader requires a good appreciation of issues both within and beyond Mosman’s boundaries. Partnerships are often required to deliver common objectives. 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. There are a number of key plans and strategies at State and regional level that are highly relevant to our area. These include:

State Plan 2010 The NSW Government describes the State Plan, last updated in 2010, as ‘the fundamental policy document driving performance across the NSW public sector’. The State Plan identifies priorities and targets across the themes of Better Transport & Liveable Cities, Supporting Business & Jobs, Clever State, Healthy Communities, Green State, Stronger Communities and Keeping People Safe. The plan is due for review every 3 years.

State Infrastructure Strategy 2008 – 2018 The State Infrastructure Strategy is the NSW Government’s rolling 10-year plan for infrastructure projects to support service delivery. It links the Government’s 4-year capital budget with metropolitan and regional long term planning strategies. It aims to manage public investment growth in line with funding sources, mapping out infrastructure to be provided in Sydney, the Central Coast, the Hunter, the Illawarra – South East, the North Coast and Inland NSW.

Change of Government — Change of Direction? The Coalition was elected to govern New South Wales on March 26 this year. As a result, it is likely we will see some changes in focus and priority at a State level in the months and years ahead. Mosman Council is well placed and prepared to address any challenge resulting from the change in government.

PAGE 22 | MOSPLAN 2011-2021 ADOPTED 7|6|11


Metropolitan Plan for Sydney 2036 The NSW Government’s Metropolitan Plan for Sydney 2036 was released in December 2010. The plan supersedes the Government’s previous Metropolitan Strategy, drawing upon the principles of that earlier strategy as well as the Metropolitan Transport Plan 2010. This latter plan outlines the NSW Government’s approach to the delivery of transport solutions that match population and employment needs and support economic growth. The Metropolitan Plan for Sydney 2036 identifies 10 sub-regions, each with individual dwelling and employment targets. The Inner North Subregional Strategy (still in draft form) translates the objectives of the Metropolitan Plan to the local government areas of Mosman, North Sydney, Willoughby, Ryde, Lane Cove and Hunters Hill. The sub-regional strategy sets targets for employment of 62,000 new jobs by 2036 and targets for housing of 44,000 new dwellings by 2036.

‘Shaping Our Future’ SHOROC Regional Directions 2010 In September 2010, the Shore Regional Organisation of Council’s (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’. In late 2010 and early 2011 this regional strategy provided a key lobbying tool for the SHOROC region in the lead-up to the 2011 NSW State Election and will continue to direct regional efforts in coming years. A Sustainability Strategy is currently under development to support the principles contained in Shaping our Future, and a Liveability Strategy will also be developed in 2011. Mosman has and will continue to take an active role in SHOROC planning processes.

2

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.

PAGE 23


Issues & 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.

Transport

Planning Landscape

In Council’s 2010 Community Survey, 41% of respondents nominated traffic, transport and roads as their greatest issue 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. Most recently, Council joined with it’s SHOROC colleagues to endorse ‘Shaping our Future’, a regional strategy that places strong emphasis on improved outcomes along this corridor. As a key metropolitan transport route that both divides the Mosman municipality and links it to other parts of greater Sydney, Council will continue its call for improved local transport but not at the expense of local amenity and access.

At the time of writing, Mosman’s Local Environmental Plan (LEP) and Development Control Plans - developed over the last few years - are still to be formally approved by the NSW Government. The finalisation of these plans has proven to be a challenging task as State government requirements have changed over time and Council staff have been involved in ongoing discussions and plan reviews in response to these changes. Development of the plans was undertaken in close consultation with the community (with Council winning a major Award for its LEP Engagement Strategy), and Council is keen to finalise them as soon as possible.

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, announcements and assurances regarding the long-promised Northern Beaches Hospital and the establishment of the new Northern Sydney Local Health Network are all matters that Council has taken an active interest in. Council will continue to monitor and respond to changes, with the establishment of new federally-funded ‘Medicare Locals’ the next matter of interest. We will also be carrying out 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.

PAGE 24 | MOSPLAN 2011-2021 ADOPTED 7|6|11

Changing Demographics As indicated on pages 4-5 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 well-connected. Council is well-placed to help address these challenges through provision and facilitation of services, infrastructure and positive planning frameworks at the local level.


The Infrastructure Challenge Although by no means an issue unique to Mosman, the challenge of maintaining and renewing Council’s substantial infrastructure assets will have very real impacts for planning and decision-making in future years. MOSPLAN’s Resourcing Strategy contains numerous references to the implications of addressing our infrastructure renewal gap now and in the years ahead. The task of addressing this challenge in a pragmatic and informed way will require careful and ongoing consideration by Council over the next 2 years, involving : Implementation of a life-cycle management approach to the management of assets; Ensuring that service delivery needs form the basis for infrastructure asset management; Providing a sustainable funding model that meets community needs; Demonstrating environmental leadership and minimising the impact on the environment; Developing and implementing an integrated decision support system; Ensuring compliance with Division of Local Government requirements and the National Frameworks for Asset Management. Ultimately, how Council proceeds with appropriately funding infrastructure renewal will be the subject of future community engagement.

Promoting Liveability and Sustainability The economic strength, vitality and aesthetic qualities of Mosman are key to the area’s longer term sustainability as a place that supports attractive, liveable spaces for people to visit, shop and enjoy. Council will embark on two major projects over the next few years aimed at energising Mosman and providing a good base for future development. Funding has been received to commence preparation of a new Masterplan for Spit Junction, which will include a feasibility study for the Mosman Civic Centre site. Also under development are concepts for streetscape upgrades in Military Road that have the potential to provide excellent public domain improvements and to enhance shopping, dining and visitor experiences within Mosman’s retail and commercial heart.

Delivering the Vision As well as crystallising Council’s vision for Mosman’s future, MOSPLAN also contains the framework for delivering this vision. Council’s Vision and Mission, , and the underlying values and commitments that support them, are reflected in four (4) MOSPLAN Themes that direct Council operations. These Themes are:

Governance Environment Social Economic

The GOVERNANCE theme addresses the civic leadership of Council and Council administration. It covers Council meetings, civic involvement, community safety, ranger services, finance and budgeting, maintenance of Council property and assets, and Council operations such as information technology and human resource management. The ENVIRONMENT theme addresses and encompasses 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, sustainability education, traffic, transport, roads and cycling, open space management, and recreational facilities. The SOCIAL theme is Council’s people theme. It covers areas such as community needs and services for all ages, abilities and backgrounds, volunteering, Aboriginal culture and heritage, library services, Council’s website and

Sirius Cove

electronic engagement, art gallery, cultural activities, festive events and friendship communities. The ECONOMIC theme covers areas such as local business liaison and support, local employment, marketing Mosman, tourism and regional planning and cooperation. These themes are supported by a series of 12 Programs and 70 Sub-Programs that form Council’s 4-year Delivery Program and 1-year Operational Plan. The themes, programs and sub-programs draw upon and collectively work towards delivering – the long-term visions agreed to by the Council of 2008-2012 in 2010. Also contributing to the delivery of this vision are a series of additional plans and strategies, as well as the efforts of numerous service delivery partners. These are detailed in Council’s Delivery Program.

MaintainingDirection 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. Council’s performance measurement framework takes a 3-tiered approach comprising: Community Sustainability Indicators Key Performance Indicators Performance Measures

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 four (4) themes – see pages 38-39 for further detail. Importantly, the indicators 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 outcomes significantly. At present, there are strategic indicator projects being coordinated by both SHOROC and the Division of Local Government. As these projects progress, Council’s community sustainability indicators may be reviewed further to ensure optimal opportunities for benchmarking.

Key Performance Indicators Key Performance Indicators focus on how Council, as an efficient and progressive local government organisation, is delivering against the 4 MOSPLAN themes. In this sense, the Key Performance Indicators for the organisation as a whole replicate the Community Sustainability Indicators for the Governance theme. Unlike the indicators for the other MOSPLAN themes, Key Performance Indicators for Governance are not subject to the same level of external influence, and therefore can be confidently viewed as true measures of Council performance. Key Performance Indicators reflect core priorities and deliverables at both organisational level and across MOSPLAN’s 12 Programs.

PAGE 36 | MOSPLAN 2011-2021 ADOPTED 7|6|11


Performance Measures These operational level measures assist in measuring performance across MOSPLAN’s 70 sub-programs. These measures assist in the day-to-day planning, delivery and assessment of services. At times there may be some commonality between performance measures for sub-programs and Key Performance Indicators for Programs.

The diagram below illustrates how the overall Performance Measurement Framework operates across MOSPLAN Themes, Programs and Sub-Programs. The Community Sustainability Indicators are shown on the following pages, while measures at Program and Sub-Program level can be found in the Delivery Program and Operational Plan commencing on page 61.

ResourcingStrategy Introduction Our Resourcing Strategy looks at the resources needed by Council to deliver the 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 identifies how Council will meet its obligations in the short, medium and longer term, taking into account our finances, our workforce and our 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 Our Assets Managing Our People Managing Our Finances The above elements work together to provide a cohesive resource base for Council’s operations. In ‘Managing Our 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 2011-2012 financial year (our Operational Plan) as well as the four year Delivery Program for 2011-2015.

Managing our Assets Mosman Council owns and manages assets with a current replacement cost of $746 million. These assets include: Marine structures Parks and ovals Buildings Roads and footpaths Retaining Walls Asset Management Planning is a way of accounting for, and planning and managing our assets in a sustainable way. By implementing appropriate asset management practices, Council aims to ensure that the right amount of funding is directed to key assets and the community receives appropriate levels of service from those assets. Mosman’s adopted framework for asset management is built on best practice and is open and transparent. The key elements of asset management planning at Mosman are:

Asset Management Policy Our Policy, adopted in 2009, establishes a broad direction for asset management and identifies why Council has chosen this approach.

The development of these asset management plans has been the focus of Council’s attention over the last few years, following adoption of the Asset Management Policy and Asset Management Strategy. In 2009 a draft Asset Management Plan was prepared for Buildings, followed by preparation of an Asset Management Plan for Stormwater. Development of an Asset Management Plan for Roads and Footpaths was undertaken in 2010, with the plan due for completion in early-mid 2011. A Marine Structures Asset Management Plan will also be drafted in 2011, with further work also to be undertaken on the Stormwater Asset Management Plan. All of Council’s Parks and Open Space assets will be valued by July 2011, after which an Asset Management Plan will also be prepared for this important infrastructure category.

The Path to Sustainability It is acknowledged that Mosman still has some way to go before it’s Asset Management Framework is fully developed and implemented, and until full integration of asset and financial planning is achieved. The diagram below helps to explain where we have come from and where we currently are on our journey to sustainability.

Past

Asset Management Strategy Our Asset Management Strategy, also adopted in 2009, details how we will go about ensuring that assets are managed in the most appropriate way.

Asset Management Plans Asset Management Plans are prepared for individual asset classes, providing detailed information on how to manage each asset. These plans include asset condition, life cycle analysis, asset replacement costs and future maintenance requirements. PAGE 44 | MOSPLAN 2011-2021 ADOPTED 7|6|11

Integrating Asset Management and Financial Planning The progressive development of Asset Management Plans has identified the sheer magnitude 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 of these assets is likely to become even more difficult as asset management planning advances. The work already undertaken to date on roads and stormwater assets has helped define the scale of this challenge, which is expected to be even more apparent with the revaluation of stormwater assets and valuation of marine structures (Including jetties and sea walls) in 2011. As further information comes to hand on the true life of individual assets and the costs associated with their management, Council’s long term financial planning will need to adjust accordingly. This is likely to mean that Council is faced with some hard decisions about future priorities and the way in which these priorities will be funded.

Managing our 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.

Our Workforce Plan Mosman Council is a multi faceted 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, art gallery) to design and construction services (roads and traffic, development and planning) and recreation services (Marie Bashir Mosman Sports Centre, parks and reserves, Seniors Centre, Youth Development Centre). To deliver such a range of services, we require a diverse workforce with varied skills, qualifications and experience. These include specialist professionals such as environmental scientists, engineers and town planners, as well as corporate support staff and employees responsible for maintaining the amenities of our area and promoting community well-being. To ensure Mosman Council is best servicing the needs of the community we regularly monitor our workforce profile. Mosman Council employs 159 full time equivalent staff to service the needs of the community. 58% of our employees are female and the average age is 43 years. Just over 50% of staff travel less than 10km to work, with 14% of staff living within Mosman. Our mix of employment type is reflective of Council’s support of family friendly employment practices, with 23% of permanent staff working part time and 77% working full time. Council has an excellent staff retention rate, with 55% of the organisation having worked here 5 years or more, and 24% 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.

PAGE 46 | MOSPLAN 2011-2021 ADOPTED 7|6|11

At Mosman Council, these include: 1. Ageing workforce: 34% of employees are over 50 years of age, and 10% over 60. Multiple retirements over the coming years present challenges including the risk of lost corporate knowledge. 2. Departure of the General Manager. 3. Skills shortages in the market. 4. Attraction: Ensure we are attracting the right candidates to Mosman Council. 5. Retention: Ensure 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: 1. Focus on talent identification and management, mentoring, leadership and learning and development opportunities 2. Performance planning and management around workforce capability and skill gap analysis 3. Encourage internal progression and succession planning 4. Improve careers advertising and marketing and continue to support participation in SHOROC Careers Fairs 5. Education on continuous improvement methodologies, aimed to simplify processes and deliver more value to the customer 6. Focus on transfer of knowledge and the multi-skilling of staff 7. Continue to foster a culture of fairness and equity, with support of EEO groups including women and people with a disability. We aim to reflect the diversity of the community, supporting equal employment opportunities and equity within Council.

Managing our Finances Good financial management requires attention to both the immediate and long term sustainability of the Council’s operations. The following pages outline financial forecasts abd budget detail across 10, 4 and 1 year MOSPLAN horizons.

Budget 2011-2012 Budget Summary A deficit consolidated budget of $400,260 (excluding non cash items) is proposed for 2011/2012. This reflects expenditure within the Community Environmental Contract (CEC) exceeding revenue by $433,870 in order to complete the following programs: Installation of SQID to filter Plunkett Road sub catchment Installation of SQID in Pearl Bay Avenue to filter Pearl Bay sub catchment Installation of SQID in Reginald Street to filter part of Mosman Bay West sub catchment Installation of SQID in Brierley Street to filter part of Mosman Bay West. The General Fund budget result for 2011/2012 is a projected surplus of $33,610.

PAGE 48 | MOSPLAN 2011-2021 ADOPTED 7|6|11

There are a number of key initiatives contained within the 2011/2012 draft Budget such as: $250,000 Grant Funding for consultancy work on the Spit Junction Master Plan $500,000 for refurbishment works at Boronia House $250,000 for works at the Mosman Art Gallery $2.3M for proposed Child Care works at Mosman Bowling Club Other key elements of the draft 2011/12 Budget include: Funding of Council’s infrastructure assets as follows: àà Roads $916,000 àà Footpaths $551,000 àà Drains $461,000 àà Retaining walls $133,000 Levels of service across the organisation have generally been maintained. A 2.8% or $406K increase has been applied to general rates (excluding CEC and Infrastructure Levies). A 2.15% increase has been applied to cover Award salaries and packages. Contracts and leases, and fees and charges, where considered appropriate have been increased by CPI of 3%. Borrowings of $2.8M in 2011/2012 ($2.3M funding from Section 94A for Child Care at Mosman Bowling Club and $500,000 interest-only loan to fund refurbishment works at Boronia House). Funding of 100% green power for street lighting. 27% coverage of infrastructure expenditure to rate revenue. The domestic waste service charges have been increased in accordance with Council’s differential charging policy by 3%. Base rating structure that continues to provide 50% on residential properties and 40% on business assessments.


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 2011/2012. 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 2.8% in 2011/12 and Council’s 2011/2012 budget is based on taking up the full 2.8% increase.

Rating Categories There are two categories of rates: 1. Residential 2. 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 12,484 assessments which will provide revenue of $14.372M in 2011/2012. The rate in the dollar will be $0.0732 and the Base Rate $575. Total Rateable Land Value approximates $9,819,191,254.

Total Rateable Land Value approximates $410,381,896.

1 × 80 litre mobile garbage bin 1 × 120 litre mobile garbage bin

Special Variations

The fee structure for residents with an existing 240L mobile garbage bin is $946.

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: Stormwater Quality Bushland Creek Rehabilitation Seawall Remediation/Construction $697,000 will be allocated from the rate revenue derived for CEC works in 2011/2012. It should be noted that most of the on the ground works have been completed and the bulk of the CEC revenue until its expiration in 2016/2017 will be used to extinguish debt. 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 $866,000 will be allocated from the rate revenue derived for these works in 2011/2012. Unlike the CEC, this levy has no sunset clause. A description of the works undertaken under both programs is published in Council’s Annual Report. PAGE 50 | MOSPLAN 2011-2021 ADOPTED 7|6|11

$278 $453

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 Note: in relation to the above charges: Council will charge a rateable residential property at least the minimum domestic waste service charge (currently 80 litre MGB) per occupancy Where a property requires an adjustment to a waste levy Council will amend the current year and up to the previous two years only as applicable.

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.

Interest Charges Interest charges on unpaid rates and charges will accrue on a daily basis at the maximum allowable rate, as determined by IPART.


Pricing Policy — 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 2011/12 these are included in the document entitled ‘Draft 201/12 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 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 Customer objectives Resource use objectives Impact of Tax Reform (GST) Market Prices Cross subsidisation objectives

4

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.

Long Term Financial Plan 2011-2021 10 Year Financial Model Council’s 10 year financial model underpins the Community Strategic Plan. The model is developed using current base year data and applying projected movements in a number of key drivers over its life including: Annual Rates Inflation Employee Costs Grants Investment Revenues Other Expenses

Assumptions Annual Rates Total revenue raised from the levying of land rates continues to be 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 in 2011/12. The model uses the following rates: 11/12

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.

Inflation The rate of inflation has a significant impact on Council’s finances annually from both a revenue and expenditure perspective. From a revenue perspective, Council’s fees and charges and its property portfolio are all closely linked to this economic indicator. Council contracts out all of its key service areas such as Waste, Street and Gutter Cleaning, Beach and Reserve Cleaning and a variety of Open Space Contracts. The CPI is also the cost driver for these. The inflation rate used in the model is based on Access Economic Business data from September 2010 which is shown below: 11/12

Employee Costs The Local Government State Award provided for an increase in salaries and wages of 2.6% from November 2010, 2.15% from July 2011 and a further increase 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 following percentages have been allocated to the model: 11/12

Grants Council receives a number of operating grants from the State Government on an annual basis and they have been increased by inflation rates throughout the model.

Investment Revenues Council invests its surplus funds in term deposits with a rate of 6% being used throughout the model.

Other Expenses This category includes expenses associated with elections, utilities, printing and stationery and other materials that are generally increased by inflation.

Fair Value Local Government has in recent years been required to bring to account a number of its asset categories at fair value. This will have a significant negative recurrent impact on the income statement via increased depreciation as shown in the Council’s 10-year financial model.

4

The model forecasts that Council will have a deficit result before capital inflow in 2010/2011 of $3.725M (including an anticipated increase of $3.5M depreciation on 2009/2010) worsening over time to $7.539M in 2020/2021 following further fair valuation of assets such as sea walls, depreciable open space “other” assets and marine structures in 2010/2011 followed by further recurrent movement.

Key Financial Documents The 10 Year Financial model has been used to produce the following key documents for Council’s guidance over the next decade: 1. Income Statement 2. Balance Sheet 3. Cash Flow See pages 56-58 for each of the above. PAGE 53


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 detail in relation to relevant budget breakdowns across Program and Sub-Program areas can be found in Section 5 of MOSPLAN, commencing on page 61.

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 Debt Service Ratio 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 2011 will be 1.30:1, which in short means that Council has $1.30 in cash for every dollar of debt. The model predicts that this ratio will increase to a peak of 1.83 in 2019/2020 Council’s financial position is such that borrowings are only undertaken to fund special projects. In recent years borrowings have been utilised to assist in funding construction works at Drill Hall Common, Community Environmental Contract works, Infrastructure Levy works and the Amenity Block Refurbishment Program in 2010/2011. The recommended borrowing program in 2011/2012 is $2.8M. $2.3M to fund works at the Mosman Bowling Club to house Children’s Service programs and $500,000 for refurbishment works at Boronia which will provide for a greater annual return on Council’s investment through expected increased annual rentals. At 30 June 2011, it is anticipated that Council will owe $10.186M in principal on its loans and deferred payment liabilities with repayment funding coming from the following sources:

28%

Debt Funding Split 29% 10%

 General Fund  Section 94A Open Space  CEC Levy  Infrastructure Levy

29% 28% 33% 10%

33% Council’s Debt Service Ratio at 30 June 2011 is predicted to be 7.50% with a reduction to 1.94% in 2020/2021. It is important to note that Council has approval for the CEC to continue until 2016/2017, has an Infrastructure Levy and revenues associated with the Section 94A Open Space are exceeding the original budget to date. A summary of key financial indicators for Mosman, also including the Rates & Annual Charges Coverage Ratio and the Rates, Annual Charges, Interest & Extra Charges Outstanding Percentage; is provided on page 59. PAGE 54 | MOSPLAN 2011-2021 ADOPTED 7|6|11


Annual Consolidated Budget Result (excluding non-cash items) 2011 - 2021 As indicated on page 48 a deficit consolidated Budget of $400,260 is projected for 2011/2012, excluding non cash items such as depreciation and employee leave entitlement accruals, and impacted by finalisation of a number of CEC projects. The General Fund result is a surplus of $33,610. Council’s 10 Year Financial Model forecasts recurrent consolidated surpluses post 2011/12 as shown below: Estimated Consolidated Cash Budget $800 $600

Integrating Asset Management and Financial Planning Council recognises the need to achieve best possible integration of financial modelling and asset management planning.

4

The 10 year financial model predictions regarding infrastructure spending are based on current expenditure levels which are indexed. Asset Management Plans are currently being developed for all infrastructure assets with a number of scenarios to be provided to Council in the 2011/2012 financial year including information on existing asset condition, deemed acceptable base condition and any associated funding shortfalls together with revised financial models providing affordability data. Council currently generates annual revenue of $842,000 (2010/11) from its Infrastructure Levy. Council proposes to prepare a case for expansion of this levy in 2013/2014 and the information detailed above will form the basis of this key initiative. The 10 year Financial Model is used as a guide to assist Council in its decision making processes, and is based on best available financial data and assumptions regarding projected movements in future years. It is expected that, following the integration of asset management plans and decisions about future asset funding, key financial documents and projected indicators may look decidedly different as further knowledge and expertise is developed.

PROGRAM11

Traffic and Transport

Convenor: Director Environment and Planning

Mosman suffers significantly due to the through traffic using the Spit/Military Road corridor. Council therefore places great emphasis and effort on maintaining local amenity despite this arterial traffic through cooperation with its SHOROC partner councils and by lobbying State and Federal Government Ministers and agencies. Council seeks to foster the range of transport modes from walking and cycling to use of private motor vehicles and public buses and ferries. Provision of safe and appropriate facilities is important in meeting the diverse mobility needs of the community for roads, footpaths and cycleways.

10 Year Objectives

Program 11 aims to achieve the following 10 Year Objectives in Mosman’s Community Strategic Plan: To have the State and Federal Government support a rail option on the Roseville Corridor. To have the Northern Beaches linked more directly to the Metropolitan Freeway Network. To have an improved bus and ferry network so that public transport is the transport mode of choice. To have no further expansion of the Spit/Miltary Road corridor but reallocation of that capacity to give buses priority when needed. To have no further elimination of parking along the Spit and Military Road corridor. To have a multi-modal sustainable transportation network which meets the community’s needs in terms of safety, user comfort and local access and amenity. To have an asset management program that comprehensively and sustainably maintains and protects all of Council’s assets (infrastructure and natural). To have a well maintained network of roads and footpaths. To reduce the reliance on private vehicles for local trips through the expansion of community transport and pedestrian and cycling facilities. To have minimal incidences of traffic accidents. To have an upgraded car park at Mosman Junction.

Achievements 2010 - 2011

In 2010 – 2011 Council delivered the following results under Program 11: Completed a Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan (PAMP) brief and engaged consultants Established the Active Transport Working Group Completed the Road Assets Management Plan Negotiated acceptable outcomes for upgrade works on Spit Road at Spit West and Ourimbah Road intersection

To have information technology resources which support the Library’s services and to maintain external partnerships such as the Shorelink Library Network in order to provide the community with access to resources held in the Library and beyond. To have a Local Studies Collection that celebrates Mosman’s heritage, reflects all eras of Mosman’s history and is appropriately housed, exhibited and preserved for future generations.

PROGRAM12

Local and Regional Economy Convenor: Director Community Development

This program focuses on the strength and sustainability of the local and regional economy, with particular emphasis on local businesses including hospitality, retail and restaurants, as well as appropriate management of tourism and marketing opportunities. The program is strongly linked to projects, initiatives and strategic objectives for the wider region, and relies on partnerships with the private and public sector, particularly through the Shore Regional Organisation of Councils (SHOROC). Council’s role in economic development can be as catalyst, planner, advocate and facilitator – all with the purpose of recognising, balancing and addressing the needs of residents, businesses and visitors in an equitable and effective way. The vibrancy and diversity of retail areas, the protection of their heritage and business operations, and support for local businesses as part of liveable, sustainable communities are key aims of the program.

10 Year Objectives

Program 12 aims to achieve the following 10 Year Objectives in Mosman’s Community Strategic Plan: Keeping the unique character and heritage of all Mosman’s business centres enhanced by appealing, high-amenity public spaces. Reinforcing roles of small and large business centres with diverse local outlets catering for the community, especially the elderly. Business activities including home businesses and clusters meeting emerging work patterns and expectations. Having shops and services easily accessible by walking, riding, driving or community/public transport. A range of suitable accommodation options for visitors including B&B and small residential hotels. To have Mosman recognised as a tourism destination, building on its artistic heritage, marketed effectively and appropriately and to welcome visitors in a manner which is sustainable, which enhances the lifestyle of residents and the economic opportunities for local business, and which reduces any adverse effects. To have the SHOROC region recognised for its economic wellbeing, quality of life, efficient transport systems, service orientation, shared resources and practices, community spirit and natural and clean environment.
