HOW THE IP&R FRAMEWORK WORKS COMMUNITY PRIORITIES Community Strategic Plan 10 years

Clearly defines what we want as a community.

HOW COUNCIL CAN CONTRIBUTE Integrated planning and reporting Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) is the planning and reporting framework that Wagga Wagga City Council uses to work towards achieving the community’s vision. Under NSW State legislation, Councils must prepare a number of plans which provide details on how Council intends to deliver works and services in the short and long term. This is based on the community’s priorities which have been identified through consultation and engagement as well as the resources available to council in delivering these items. The framework ensures Councils illustrate their various plans together, to understand how they interact in planning for the future. The framework opens the way for Council and our community to have important discussions about funding priorities, service levels and shaping local identity and to plan in partnership for a more sustainable future. As illustrated, the plans are designed to flow so that the broader objectives in a high level plan are translated into specific targets, actions and measures.

Combined Delivery Program & Operational Plan

reporting framework. Community Strategic Plan

This Document - Combined Delivery Program and Operational Plan Council’s Delivery Program is a statement of commitment to the community from each newly elected council and sets out a four year plan to respond to the community’s long-term vision as stated in Council’s 10 year Community Strategic Plan.

The purpose of this plan is to identify the community’s main priorities and aspirations for the future and to plan for achieving these goals. The name of our Community Strategic Plan is Ruby & Oliver.

In preparing a Delivery Program Council considers the available resources and its capacity to deliver services and projects to the community.

The objectives are balanced across Social, Economic, Environment and Civic Leadership and will need to be addressed beyond the boundaries of our Council – the help of other partners, stakeholders and community members contribute to the implementation of this plan.

The Operational Plan is a sub-plan of the Delivery Program and sets out the projects, programs and activities to be undertaken in a 12 month period. The Operational Plan includes a detailed budget and financial snapshot.

The Community Strategic Plan reflects the Wagga Wagga community’s long term priorities and aspirations and forms the foundation for all Council operations and subsequent plans. The plan sets out the specific directions, strategies, targets and measures necessary for achieving the following outcomes:

Council produces a quarterly report outlining progress against the adopted Operational Plan, measuring the success of the implementation of Council’s Delivery Program.

In the year of an ordinary election, the annual report will also include an End of Term Report identifying progress against the measures identified in the Community Strategic Plan.

Workforce Plan 2013 - 2017

The resourcing plans consist of three components: The Workforce Plan, Asset Management Plan and the LongTerm Financial Plan. Council’s resource plans illustrate Council’s capacity to deliver on goals identified in the Community Strategic Plan informing the development of the Delivery Program. The Workforce Plan aims to ensure Council’s workforce has the right skills, at the right time and in the right quantities to ensure sustainable service delivery into the future. The Long-Term Financial Plan outlines the future finances of Council’s operations taking into consideration key elements such as rate movements, service levels to our community, major infrastructure, assets replacement and renewals as well as borrowings and cash reserves. The Asset Management Plan provides Council with a clear direction and goal for managing Council’s assets and physical infrastructure.

introduction

Mayor &

general manager welcome

2014/2015. Welcome to the 2014/2015 Combined Delivery Program and Operational Plan (Delivery Program). The Delivery Program outlines Council’s commitment over the term of the current elected Council, identifying specific projects and budgets over the four year period as well as identifying specific operations, services and projects to be delivered during the 2014/2015 financial year.

“Although the Operational Plan budget has been balanced for the 2013/14 year, Council acknowledges that it has forecast a deficit budget for the remaining three years of the Delivery Program. Council’s commitment to delivering a variety of projects and services for our growing community continues to be an ongoing challenge with a limited income base. Council will need to review capital projects and service delivery across the organisation in the upcoming months to achieve a balanced budget for the remaining years of the Delivery Program.” In preparing the Delivery Program, Council proposes to make critical decisions in adjusting its operations and ensuring a more financially sustainable path by presenting balanced budgets over a 4 year period. These include: •

Avoiding budget deficits and avoid imposing increased costs on the community by adjusting the way we operate and the services we deliver. There is a preference to reduce costs instead of significant increases in rates, fees and charges.

•

Taking a whole of Organisation approach to reducing expenditure. A number of service deliverables have been adjusted in the Delivery Program and a number of detailed service reviews will follow over the next four years. It is expected that this process will identify more efficient and cost effective ways of delivering programs and services.

•

A focus on staffing costs will result in a reduction in staff numbers over the next four year period.

•

Council will be highly selective in responding to demands for new projects and infrastructure in order to live within our community’s means.

The 2013/14 Delivery Program included the following statement: 6

Combined Delivery Program & Operational Plan

Through a review of services and programs, a number of efficiencies have been identified such as significant savings on advertising, with Council’s decision to create a weekly insert into the Daily Advertiser. This follows savings already realised from the adoption of new technologies, printing and graphic design costs and energy savings initiatives. It is expected that additional

introduction cost savings will be identified through an ongoing service review process. The Delivery Program and Long Term Financial Plan highlights Council’s intention to fund its one-third share of the City Levee project from a Special Rating Variation commencing from the 2016/17 financial year which will require a contribution from all ratepayers within the Local Government Area. Council has added a further scenario to the Long Term Financial Plan which continues to fund Council’s one-third share by loan borrowings in the event that the application for a Special Rate Variation to IPART is not approved. If this scenario eventuates, Council will need to make additional budget reductions from the 2017/18 year to accommodate the additional debt servicing costs arising from the borrowings. A reduction to operational budgets has meant that a reduction in some services is proposed. Some of the proposed service changes include: •

Reductions to cycleway construction with a stronger focus on maintenance of current cycleway infrastructure.

•

Removal of immunisation clinic services due to a 70% reduction in utilisation of the service and the availability of bulk billing services across the City.

•

Reductions in operating hours for the Civic Theatre Box office service which will now be closed on Saturday mornings, the Library with closing time to be 6pm weekdays and the Museum and Art Gallery services weekend hours will be reduced to 10am to 2pm

•

Reduction to staff assistance budgets

•

Limited works around Lake Albert foreshores

training

and

education

• Removal of the Children’s Services Mobile Health Van •

Reduction in mobile Library services – discontinue service points in areas where residents have reasonable access to an alternative library service

•

Reduction in the frequency of street cleaning in some areas of the City.

Although 2014/2015 will see a reduction in some services, Council will still progress with projects that are fundamental to the growth of the city as well as focus on renewal of current infrastructure, such as: •

Construction of Sewer Pump Stations at Bomen, Forest Hill and Mangoplah

•

Drainage infrastructure to service the new Estella western and southern subdivision

•

Construction of a new waste cell at the Gregadoo Waste Management Centre as well as additional improvements to current infrastructure

•

Livestock Marketing Centre infrastructure and facility improvements

The Indoor Multi Purpose Stadium, a partnership project with the Police and Community Youth Club (PCYC) and Wagga Wagga Netball is planned to commence during the 2014/2015 year. The $10.8 million Multi Purpose Indoor stadium will include two facilities, one located at the Bolton Park Indoor stadium which will incorporate the two existing indoor courts as well as additional space allocated for PCYC operations. A second facility will be located at the Exhibition Centre and will include the construction of a three court stadium. Both facilities will not only meet the growing population and demand for indoor facilities but are also designed to meet the demand for event space. The Riverina Intermodal Freight and Logistics Hub Project (RIFL Project) is proceeding to market testing which will assess the viability of the project. The project is also contingent upon additional funding support from the State Government. The project has been developed with the goal of increasing productivity, economic growth and the competitiveness of business throughout the region as an enabler for the continued growth in jobs and population of not only the Wagga Wagga LGA but the entire Riverina region. Progress of services and projects outlined in the 2014/2015 Combined Delivery Program and Operational Plan will be reported on in the Quarterly Performance Report which can be found on Council’s website or accessed through the Customer Service Centre. The Delivery Program in its current publicly exhibited form presents a balanced budget position for the next four years. However, Council is very concerned by a number of Commonwealth budget announcements made by the Federal Treasurer on 13 May 2014. In particular the pausing of indexation on the Financial Assistance Grants is likely to create a budget shortfall of approximately $1.86 million over three years commencing with $304,000 in the 2014/15 financial year. The announcement that the Commonwealth will no longer provide a subsidy for pensioner rebates may also have an impact on the amount of rates paid by eligible pensioners. At the time of adopting these documents, Council is awaiting further detail on these announcements and it is unfortunate but likely that further reductions to services and programs will be required to achieve a balanced budget. We look forward to working with the community to achieve the community’s short and long term goals. During the year the introduction of a community panel will provide another opportunity for community members to share their view and be involved in some of Council’s projects and services. We look forward to your participation.
