Introduction Our Plan MOSPLAN 2012-2022 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 and plans prepared by Council to address specific service areas or issues. Examples of these supporting documents include the Community Engagement Strategy 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. This framework, described further on pages 38-41 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 will be released in August this year, prior to the next local government elections in September 2012. A major review of MOSPLAN will be undertaken following the 2012 elections, with the new Council responsible for development of the next plan (MOSPLAN 2013-2023) to take effect from 1 July 2013.

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 eight 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.

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 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 just under 30% have moved here from another country. In the five years to the 2006 census (the last census for which data is currently available), 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. 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 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 residents, with the next largest proportion of workers travelling from the northern beaches.


1 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, with separate houses still being the major type of dwelling. The proportion of separate houses (34%) is , however, 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. 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 a significantly higher proportion of managers and professionals living in the area, and unemployment is also low when compared to Sydney overall. Mosman is a connected community, with a significantly higher proportion of volunteers than the Sydney average. Our connections via the web are also well above average. Later this year Council will have access to data from the most recent Census conducted in August 2011. Once this information is available, updates will be made to the Community Profile on Council’s website and further analysis of local demographic trends will be possible.

Our Organisation Mosman Mayor & Councillors Mosman is governed by an elected Council which, at the commencement of the current Council term, comprised nine (9) Councillors across the three wards of Middle Harbour, Mosman Bay and Balmoral. The current term commenced in 2008 and will conclude with the next local government elections in September 2012. Councillor Dom Lopez OAM passed away in January 2012 and Councillor Belinda Halloran resigned in April 2012; therefore there are presently seven (7) Councillors in office. 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. In 2011 Council also made application to the Minister for Local Government to abolish all ward boundaries and to reduce the number of Councillors to six plus the popularly elected Mayor. This application was approved in early 2012 and the resulting changes to Mosman’s governance arrangements will take effect from the local government elections to be held in September 2012. Details of Councillors elected for the 2008-2012 Council term are provided on page 7. Following the September 2012 elections, details of the Mayor and Councillors for the 2012-2016 term will be published on Council’s website.

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 2012-2022 ADOPTED 5|6|12

§ 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, 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 activities. 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 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, its cultural and community programs, 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

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 are all linked to Vision 2050. Vision 2050, depicted on the following pages, 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. Green renewable energy sources, and energy efficiency and conservation measures adopted for both private and public property. Total water cycle management approaches used that maximise conservation, efficiency, reuse and recycling of water including stormwater harvesting and reuse. 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.

PAGE 14 | MOSPLAN 2012-2022 ADOPTED 5|6|12

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. Reliance on private vehicles for short journey to work/recreation trips reduced. Community transport expanded. Opportunities for pedestrian and bicycle transport maximised at local and regional levels. Local accessibility within Mosman improved for the convenience and lifestyle of residents. Northern Beaches linked more directly to the metropolitan freeway network.

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 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 ‘Street Speak’ 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. The feedback received through this engagement has contributed to the development of our long-term Vision for Mosman, as well Council’s Delivery Program and Operational Plan.

2010 Mosman Community Survey The last major survey conducted by Council to seek feedback on a broad range of local services and issues was the 2010 Community Survey. This survey is carried out every two years to coincide with the middle and end of each Council term, with the next survey due in June 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? A summary of some of the key findings is provided on the following pages.

StreetScape Up

PAGE 16 | MOSPLAN 2012-2022 ADOPTED 5|6|12


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 previously, 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.

2 PAGE 17


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 2012-2022 ADOPTED 5|6|12


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 has already received attention by Council, with the establishment of the Mosman Development Assessment Panel, and the 2011 amenities upgrades at foreshore locations being key examples of Council’s active response to community concerns. Overall, the 2010 survey has provided Council with a valuable source of data for its ongoing planning and budgeting processes and will also provide important comparative data for the next survey conducted in 2012.

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 indicated 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

In the Pipeline

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 is required to undertake a comprehensive review of MOSPLAN every four years, following the election of each new Council. The next major review will take place after the September 2012 elections, culminating in the development of MOSPLAN 2013-2023 which will take effect from 1 July 2013. As part of the review process Council will be engaging further with the community through surveys, focus groups, Street Speak sessions, online forums and meetings over the next 12 months to ensure that local aspirations and priorities are appropriately captured. The Community Engagement Strategy for MOSPLAN 2013-2023 can be found on Council’s website.

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

Big Ideas for the Future As well as formal MOSPLAN consultations, Council also provides an online ideas forum for residents to contribute their ideas for Mosman’s future at any time, day or night. 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 open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

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. 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

Regional Action Plans

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, which replaces the previous State Plan, sets long term goals and targets and outlines immediate actions to achieve these goals. The priority service areas identified in the plan are transport, health, family and community services, education and training and police and justice. Annual reports on progress against NSW 2021 goals and targets will be tabled in State Parliament and In some cases delivery of goals will be facilitated through other major strategies such as the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan.

The State Government proposes to ‘localise’ NSW 2021 through a series of regional action plans focussing on the most important actions the NSW Government can take to improve outcomes in each region across the state. The development of these plans is currently underway, with the Northern Sydney and Northern Beaches plans of specific relevance to the SHOROC region and to Mosman.

PAGE 22 | MOSPLAN 2012-2022 ADOPTED 5|6|12


Metropolitan Plan for Sydney 2036 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 identifies 10 sub-regions, each with individual dwelling and employment targets. The Inner North Sub-regional 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 SubRegional Strategy sets targets for employment of 62,000 new jobs by 2036 and targets for housing of 44,000 new dwellings by 2036. In May 2012, the NSW Government announced development of a new Metropolitan Strategy for Sydney. This new 20-year plan is due for completion by the end of 2012.

SHOROC Regional Directions 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 2012. 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.

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. In 2010, Council joined with it’s 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 NSW Government support for a bus rapid transit pre-feasibility study – the results of which are currently awaited. The major issues identified in ‘Shaping the Future’ have also formed the basis for our submission on the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan.

The health landscape has undergone considerable change over the last few years 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 and the establishment of the new Northern Sydney Local Health District and North Eastern Sydney 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 current and 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.

Changing Demographics As indicated on page 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.

Planning Landscape Having successfully navigated the lengthy and challenging task of State Government approval, Mosman’s new Local Environmental Plan (LEP) was legally made in December 2011 and came into effect on 1 February this year. New Development Control Plans were subsequently adopted by Council in March. 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 is close to completing its first full year of operation and, while this panel is responsible for determining 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 will include monitoring and reviewing the effectiveness of Mosman’s new planning instruments. Council is also advocating in respect of the review of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, the outcome of which could see significant changes to the building and development process in the next 12 months. It is also seeking to improve access to planning information and streamline assessment processes by implementing new e-planning software.

Promoting Liveability and Sustainability The economic strength, vitality and aesthetic qualities of Mosman business centres 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 has embarked on two major projects aimed at energising Mosman and providing a good base for future development. The preparation of a new Masterplan for Spit Junction is now well underway, including a feasibility study for the Mosman Civic Centre site, and this project has been the subject of significant community engagement in the first half of 2012. Council has also consulted widely on proposed streetscape upgrades in Military Road that have the potential to provide excellent public domain improvements, including a trial upgrade area at Mosman Junction. Funding options for future upgrades continue to be explored.

Infrastructure Challenges

Local Government Futures

Mosman has come a long way in the past few years in the information it has on its assets. Complete inventories are now established for roads, building, marine and open space assets. Stormwater will be complete by the end of 2012 but there is still a long way to go. Although by no means an issue unique to Mosman, how we maintain and renew these assets into the future will have real impacts for planning and decision making in the years to come. There is an identified renewal gap and work is currently being undertaken to refine this number for the next financial year. The challenge for Council over the next few years will involve:

The delivery of strong, meaningful and sustainable local government has attracted new interest from the State Government and Council has been closely involved in recent strategic planning exercises involving local authorities across NSW. In March this year a 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.’ It is expected that the Panel will take 12-18 months to complete its review and that all councils including Mosman will have the opportunity to participate actively in the process.

Refining the Asset Management Plans to identify the infrastructure funding gap Agreeing on an appropriate level of service to maintain current assets Integrating the Asset Management Plans into Council’s Long Term Financial Plan 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 for Local Government requirements and the National Frameworks for Asset Management Council has already established an Asset Management Reference Group with community members with experience in the fields of accounting, infrastructure and State Government policy. Ultimately how the Council proceeds, however, will require the involvement of the wider community.

PAGE 26 | MOSPLAN 2012-2022 ADOPTED 5|6|12

Of relevance to this issue is a question that will be put to all Mosman electors at the next local government elections in September 2012. At that time a poll of electors will be held with the following question being asked: Do you favour the amalgamation of Mosman Council with any other Council(s) to create a larger Local Government Authority? Residents and ratepayers are encouraged to give careful consideration to this question, bearing in mind their preferred option for the future of local government in Mosman.


Remaining Financially Sustainable Mosman as with most local government entities continues to face a number of key challenges to ensure they remain financially sustainable with the largest single demand on Council’s finances being the requirement to provide more funding on a recurrent basis for renewal and maintenance of Infrastructure Assets. Council in recent times has looked to fund this requirement via the following: Special Rate Variation – Infrastructure Levy Infrastructure Renewal Loan ($2M) to be funded via car parking fees Grants/Subsidies from State and Federal Government Significant work is being undertaken by staff in this area to ensure all information is available in order to make educated decisions on an appropriate annual allocation on both renewal and maintenance funding. To assist in this process significant resources have been utilised in developing a computer based 10 year financial model. A key short term objective is to integrate Asset Management Plans into the financial model and capture all renewal and maintenance expenditure requirements. The Council budget is allocated across a number of programs, particularly those based on community services which continue to be shifted from Federal and State Government entities. Grant funding is only one funding component for these and Council is continually required to prop up these programs from recurrent budgets. Financial sustainability is measured in a number of ways which include Available Working Capital, debt serviceability and indicators such as Unrestricted Current Ratio (UCR) which is unique to Local Government. Continued demands for funding of services places stress on these indicators. Council’s last audited accounts revealed:

2

A UCR of 1.34:1 which means Council held $1.34 for every dollar of current debt. A Debt Service Ratio of 7.68% which measures principal and interest paid on debt as a percentage of operating revenues excluding capital and specific purpose grants. Available Working Capital of $1.839M. The Council’s debt service ratio includes all loans across the Council’s finance portfolios and when restricted to General Fund is 2.33%. It could be argued that there is capacity to increase the level of borrowings, but this is curtailed by the Council’s capacity to fund existing services. It is important for Councils to ensure that they adopt strict and realistic policies in regards to acceptable financial indicators.

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 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. Importantly, 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 the outcomes significantly.

Key Performance Indicators Key Performance Indicators focus on how Council, as an efficient and progressive local government organisation, is delivering against the four MOSPLAN themes. In this sense, the Key Performance Indicators for the organisation replicate the Community Sustainability Indicators for the Governance theme. Unlike the indicators for the other MOSPLAN themes, Key Performance Indicators 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 the core priorities and deliverables at both organisational level and across MOSPLAN’s 12 Programs.

Performance Measures These operational level measures assist in measuring performance across MOSPLAN’s 70 Sub-Programs. They facilitate day-to-day planning, delivery and assessment of services. At times there may be some commonality between performance measures for SubPrograms and Key Performance Indicators for Programs. The diagram to the right illustrates how the overall Performance Measurement Framework operates across MOSPLAN Themes, Programs and Sub-Programs. The Community Sustainability Indicators are shown on pages 40-41, while measures at Program and SubProgram level can be found in the Delivery Program and Operational Plan commencing on page 67.

Regional Indicators Council now also has 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 Our 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 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 20122013 financial year as well as the four year Delivery Program 2012-2016.

Managing our Assets Mosman Council owns and manages assets with a current replacement cost of $700 million. These assets include: Marine structures Parks and ovals Buildings Roads, footpaths and retaining walls; and Stormwater drainage. Asset Management Planning is a way of accounting for, 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:

PAGE 46 | MOSPLAN 2012-2022 ADOPTED 5|6|12


Asset Management Policy and Strategy Our Asset Management Policy and Strategy were adopted in 2009, established our direction for asset management and outlined how we will go about ensuring assets are managed in the most appropriate way. Both these documents will be reviewed and updated this year.

Asset Management Plans 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. Council has completed, or is close to completing, asset management plans for all asset classes. 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; and 5. Stormwater – this covers all pits, pipes, creeks, water tanks and pollution control devices The development of these asset management plans has been the focus of Council’s attention over the last few years with Council recently completing extensive condition assessments and revaluation of all road, marine and open space assets. Currently the focus is on stormwater and buildings which will be completed by the end of 2012. These assessments are based on a complete audit of Council’s assets and will put Mosman in a good position to understand where it stands and plan for the future.

4

The Path to Sustainability and Community Involvement Once all the asset management plans are completed we will be in a position to determine the level of funding required to maintain our assets at an appropriate standard. This will be in the form of a costed 10 year work plan for each asset class. To assist us in determining this standard and level of service and to test our direction and professional review our assumptions, an Asset Management Reference Group has been established. This group was formed in 2011 and includes volunteer community members with experience in the fields of accounting, infrastructure and State Government policy.

PAGE 47


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 next major step in our asset management journey is the integration of the 10 year work programs into our Long Term Financial Plan. Preliminary models have been developed to compare the funding required in the work plans to the existing funding attributed to our assets. The models are predicated on various assumptions and two scenarios are shown below. Scenario one includes

PAGE 48 | MOSPLAN 2012-2022 ADOPTED 5|6|12

expenditure on road assets according to figures provided by our consultants. Scenario two involves a revised expenditure on road assets based on the review of the current level of service. Even when taking additional revenue into account, both models indicate that there is a gap in infrastructure renewal funding in the region of $1.2 to $2.5 million annually over the next 10 years. These models do not take into account maintenance funding requirements which will be refined over the next 12 months. The models are a work in progress that will be completed for direction for the new Council to be elected in September 2012 and will be tested against various scenarios. All Councils are facing increasing costs and ageing infrastructure. To ensure we continue to provide the level of service our community expects, in the next few years Council will be faced with some hard decisions about future priorities and the way in which the assets are 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.

The Workforce Planning Framework The key steps to workforce planning are illustrated in the diagram shown on the right:

Managing Our People 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 galleries) 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 Centre, Art Gallery). To deliver such a range of services, we require a diverse workforce with varied skills, qualifications and experience. These may include specialist technicians such as Environmental Scientists, Engineers and Town Planners, in addition to people to maintain the functionality of the beautiful amenities of our area.

Our mix of employment type is reflective of Council’s support of family friendly employment practices, with 16% of staff working part time, 6% casual and 78% working full time. Council has an excellent staff retention rate, with 55% of the organisation having worked here five years or more, and 24% of staff having worked for more than 10 years.

To ensure Mosman Council is best servicing the needs of the community we regularly monitor our workforce profile.

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.

Mosman Council employs 159 full time equivalent staff to service the needs of the community.

PAGE 50 | MOSPLAN 2012-2022 ADOPTED 5|6|12

At Mosman we pride ourselves on having a diverse workforce – our staff come from 22 different countries speaking 18 different languages. 3% of our staff identify themselves as having a permanent disability.

Mosman’s HR Strategy Our strategy is to align People, Culture and Organisation with Council’s Strategic Goals. On these foundations lie the Principles of Customer and Value; That is, knowing who your Customer is and understanding what they value. By focussing on delivering what our Customers value, Council will be more successful in meeting their needs. This is underpinned by the 3 core focus areas of the HR Strategy: 1. Talent 2. Culture and Capability 3. Continuous Improvement 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 Council, these include: 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. We need to ensure that we attract the right candidates for employment at Mosman Council. Departure of the General Manager. Skills shortages in the market. Ensuring we are able to retain the right people with the required skills, experience and organisational fit.

PAGE 52 | MOSPLAN 2012-2022 ADOPTED 5|6|12

The Workforce Plan details the key strategies underway to mitigate the potential risks in the workforce profile, and enable successful delivery of the MOSPLAN objectives. Strategies to overcome these challenges include: 1. Developing the Mosman Council employer brand and value proposition 2. Reviewing the recruitment strategy 3. Developing and implementing actions arising from the results of the staff culture survey 4. Building on and developing staff and management skills in general business acumen, leadership, cultural change and continuous improvement 5. Investigating online forms of learning 6. Reviewing retention systems and programs including Performance and Development Planning and Review, Reward and Recognition and flexibility in the workplace 7. Skills mapping of staff to assist with succession planning 8. Conducting an organisation wide re-education program highlighting changes in Work Health and Safety legislation, including contractors and volunteers 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 and budget detail across 10, 4 and 1 year MOSPLAN horizons.

Budget 2012-13 Budget Summary The General Fund budget result for 2012/2013 is a projected surplus of $99,243. The budget is influenced by Council’s commitment to its infrastructure assets and comprehensive community based programs and services. In 2011, Council finalised its mandated requirement of the Fair Valuation of all Infrastructure Assets under its control. The asset and finance staff have also been developing models and preparing schedules to determine intervention levels and funding. Detailed information will be provided to the incoming Council to assist in making informed decisions about future direction and expenditure in relation to infrastructure. Funding has at least been maintained across all service levels excepting where productivity improvements have been achieved utilising alternate technologies.

A number of key contracts have and are currently being reviewed. In 2011 a new Street and Gutter Cleaning contract was awarded which placed heavy emphasis on the provision of a quality value for money service for residents. With regional waste issues extremely topical and Council looking to continue its push to reduce land fill and expand its annual recycling tonnages it is timely that the Domestic Waste contract is currently being assessed albeit for a period of 3 years and prior to SHOROC Councils seeking a common contractor from October 2015. Other key elements of the draft 2012/13 Budget include: Expenditure on infrastructure assets as follows: àà Roads $ 2.034M àà Footpaths $ 1.086M àà Stormwater $ 569K àà Retaining walls $ 193K A 3.6% or $517K increase has been applied to general rates (excluding CEC and Infrastructure Levies). This includes a 0.4% increase based on the impact of the Federal Government’s Carbon Tax (with appropriate funds quarantined) A 3.25% 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 2.9%. A $170K allocation for the September 2012 election. Borrowings of $2.7M in 2012/2013 ($2M funding for the Infrastructure Renewal Scheme Application lodged with Department of Local Government, $460K to assist in implementation of car parking demand improvement technologies and 240K to assist with funding information technology purchases. The domestic waste service charges have been increased in accordance with Council’s differential charging policy by 3.6%. 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 2012/2013. 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 3.6% in 2012/13 and Council’s 2012/2013 budget is based on taking up the full 3.6% 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.

4

Residential There are 12,496 assessments which will provide revenue of $14.895M in 2012/2013. The rate in the dollar will approximate $0.0691 and the Base Rate $596. Total Rateable Land Value approximates $10,774,027,145.

Business

Domestic Waste Management Service

There are 593 assessments which will provide revenue of $1.613M in 2012/2013.

The Domestic Waste Management Service is provided on a full cost recovery basis.

The rate in the dollar will approximate $0.2092 and the Base Rate $1,087.

A resident has a choice of the following size bins/fee structure in 2012/2013:

Total Rateable Land Value approximates $464,103,595.

1 × 80 litre mobile garbage bin 1 × 120 litre mobile garbage bin 1 × 240 litre mobile garbage bin

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: Stormwater Quality Bushland Creek Rehabilitation Seawall Remediation/Construction $723,000 will be allocated from the rate revenue derived to the CEC in 2012/2013. It should be noted that all on the ground works have been completed and 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 $897,000 will be allocated from the rate revenue derived for these works in 2012/2013. 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 56 | MOSPLAN 2012-2022 ADOPTED 5|6|12

$288 $469 $980

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.

Interest Charges In 2012/13 it is proposed that interest charges on unpaid rates and charges will accrue on a daily basis at the rate of 10%.


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 2012/13 these are included in the document entitled ‘Draft 2012/13 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. As per ATO guidelines, all fees and charges are currently being reviewed to assess for the impact of the GST.

Long Term Financial Plan 2012-2023 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 2012/13. The model uses the following rates: 12/13

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 the annual movement in the Sydney All groups Consumer Price Index to December 2012 and Federal Government policy in maintaining an average general CPI figure of around 2.5%. 12/13

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 three 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: 12/13

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.

Other Assumptions A $2M loan application under the Local Government Infrastructure Renewal Scheme (LGIRS) has been built into the model with a seven year repayment of principal and interest (4% discounted interest rate), with loan costs being funded by increased parking income. Additional parking income of $310K from 12/13 Removal of $2.3M loan borrowing for construction of a Child Care facility at the Mosman Bowling Club. The source of the funding was the Section 94 Reserve and this was included in the 11/12 Budget Allocated funding of $8.5M from the Domestic Waste Reserve for capital costs including potential contributions for Alternate Waste Treatment facility at Kimbriki between 14/15 and 21/22 Allocated funding of $5M from the Section 94 Reserve for future open space purchases between 16/17 and 19/20 Additional funding for infrastructure embellishment from 19/20 to 20/21 of $1M following payout of $2M LGIRS loan Reduction in annual depreciation expense of $1.778M following utilisation of average infrastructure depreciation rates used by North Shore councils 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 17/18 An amount of $85K has been quarantined from income from rates and domestic waste for allocation to carbon related costs. This will enable the calculation of the true cost to Council

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 62-64 for each of the above. 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 2012 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 1.70:1 in 2018/2019. Council’s financial position is such that borrowings are only undertaken to fund special projects. In 2011/2012; $750K is required to fund restoration works at Boronia & $1M for the Military Road upgrade. The recommended borrowing program in 2012/2013 is $2.7M. $2.M to fund works through the LGIRS, $240K to assist in funding IT requirements & 460K to assist in implementation of car parking demand improvement technologies. At 30 June 2012, it is anticipated that Council will owe $10.165M in principal on its loans and deferred payment liabilities with repayment funding coming from the following sources:

has approval for the CEC to continue until 2016/2017 (all loans will be extinguished by that time) has an Infrastructure Levy (with no sunset clause) revenues associated with the Section 94A Open Space Reserve are exceeding the original budget to date in 11/12. A summary of key financial indicators for Mosman is provided on page 65.

Integrating Financial Modelling and Planning Council recognises the need to achieve best possible integration of financial modelling and asset management planning. The 10-year financial model predictions regarding infrastructure spending are based on current expenditure levels which are indexed.

Asset Management Plans are currently being finalised for all infrastructure assets with a number of scenarios to be provided to Council in the 2012/2013 financial year including information on existing asset conditions, deemed acceptable base condition and any associated funding shortfalls together with revised financial models providing affordability data. Council currently generates annual revenue of $866,000 (2011/12) from its Infrastructure Levy and a case for possible expansion and other funding options will be developed for presentation to Council in 2013/2014. 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 will be enhanced 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.

PROGRAM9

Library and Information Convenor: Director Community Development

The Library provides a range of services for the residents of Mosman. These include lending services, reference and information services, home library service, local studies service, community information, Internet access and training, children’s services, young adult services, and outreach and promotional activities. This Program also focuses on the lifelong learning and information literacy needs of the community. Mosman has been a member of the Shorelink Library Network since its inception in 1983 and has a range of obligations under the Shorelink Deed of Agreement relating to this membership. This program incorporates the management and development of Council’s online presence. Council recognises that the Internet is a key platform in the delivery of information and services, and our Community Engagement Strategy demonstrates Council’s commitment to the innovative use of web technologies for communication and collaboration. It is supported by a growing number of satellite sites for specific-focus projects and through online channels such as email newsletters, news feeds, blogs and community sites, and a presence on ‘social network’ sites. The objectives in this program are further developed in Council’s Community Engagement Strategy and in SHOREPLAN, the Shorelink Library Network’s Strategic Management Plan.

10 Year Objectives

Program 9 aims to achieve the following 10 Year Objectives in Mosman’s Community Strategic Plan: To have the Library recognised as a community hub and a ‘place of connectedness’. To have a library building that is a functional, multi-purpose space accommodating intellectual, cultural, recreational and information services, lifelong learning opportunities, resources and activities for all age groups. To have library services that are free, accessible and which anticipate and fulfil community expectations. To have resources including books, audio-visual material and material published in electronic format, which cater for the information, lifelong learning and leisure needs of all ages. 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. To have information on Council services, facilities and events effectively disseminated in a range of media so that residents are aware of opportunities to participate in and contribute to a vibrant community life. To have a web presence that provides the best possible means of interacting with our community.

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.

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.
