These plans are based on the community’s priorities, which have been identified in the Community Strategic Plan, and present a balanced approach to long and short term planning that considers how the resources available to Council can be used to deliver our community’s outcomes. The framework also opens the way for the Wagga Wagga City Council and our community to have important discussions about funding priorities and service levels, how these shape our local identity and how we can work together to create a more sustainable future.

Community Strategic Plan: Wagga View 2040

The Community Strategic Plan: Wagga View 2040 looks at where we want to be as a community in 2040.

Wagga View is Council’s highest level plan and is used by Council, stakeholders and other agencies to guide policy, establish service delivery and inform plans.

Resourcing Strategy

The Resourcing Strategy focuses on ensuring that Wagga Wagga City Council has the funding, people and assets required to deliver the strategy commitments outlined in the Delivery Program. It includes the Long Term Financial Plan, the Asset Management Plan and the Workforce Plan.

The Delivery Program

The Operational Plan

The Operational Plan is reviewed and developed yearly. It details the specific actions, projects and programs Wagga Wagga City Council will undertake under each of the strategies outlined by the Delivery Program. The Operational Plan also allocates responsibility and provides a detailed budget for each year.

2017/18 BUILDINGS ASSET MANAGEMENT PLAN

mayor and general manager message What an exciting time for Wagga Wagga. We are in the midst of a transformational period that will define both the growth and vision of our city and villages for many years to come. Wagga Wagga has always been a great place to live, visit and invest and we are set for a positive and exciting future. Our city is booming with more than $90M of infrastructure projects underway and more significant funding announcements expected over the next 12 months. The NSW State Government is currently rolling out an unprecedented level of funding as a result of the sale and lease of some of its key assets, and we need to take advantage of this opportunity for the future prosperity of Wagga Wagga. This overarching document outlines our services, programs and projects for the next 12 months and centres on four guiding principles: thriving, innovative, connected and inclusive. These principles and the community’s vision for the future create a roadmap for Wagga Wagga City Council’s suite of Integrated Planning and Reporting (IPR) documents, which include the Combined Delivery Program and Operational Plan, Long Term Financial Plan, Fees and Charges, asset management plans and the Disability Inclusion Action Plan.

Planning for our future

To set the scene for the next 20 years Council have recently endorsed the Wagga Wagga Integrated Transport Strategy 2040 (WWITS) and the Recreation, Open Space and Community Strategy 2040 (ROSC). This year Council will look at adopting an Activation Strategy and continue reviewing and improving the Development Control Plan and Development Contribution Plans. These strategic documents will play a crucial role in ensuring sustainable growth in the city and surrounding areas over the coming decades. The Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2017-2021 (DIAP) will also provide guidance to ensure we are proactive towards inclusiveness and accessibility and making these outcomes a priority in the city’s planning both now and into the future.

Regional Leadership

Council will continue to play a vital role in providing leadership for not only Wagga Wagga, but the greater region. Discussions are well underway with Councils in our region to conduct genuine strategic planning that will benefit the community as well as the regional economy.

Major projects

A number of important projects that provide vital facilities and create economic opportunities will be completed or get underway this financial year, including the following: • Continuing with the upgrade of the Main City Levee Bank to fortify the local economy and provide peace of mind for residents • Commencing with the implementation of the Active Travel Plan to promote cycling as a legitimate mode of transport, through the development of high quality cycling networks and facilities across the city • Commencing Stage 2 of the Riverside Project to reactivate the Wagga Beach precinct and develop the area as a focal point and destination for residents and visitors, as well as creating linkages to the city’s CBD and existing civic precinct. • Upgrading Eunony Bridge to provide larger and heavier transport vehicles a quicker route from the east to the Bomen Industrial Estate • Finishing the multi-purpose stadium at Equex to provide a high-quality sporting, community and entertainment/event space for the city Council will also continue to advocate for funding for strategic projects such as Stage 2 of the Riverina Intermodal Freight and Logistics (RiFL) Hub, NBN at Bomen, and the Pomingalarna Multisport Cycling Complex to name a few.

Disability Inclusion Action Plan

Disability inclusion action planning supports the fundamental right of choice for people with disability in our community, providing them with the opportunities and ability to choose how they live their lives and enjoy the beneﬁts of living and working in our great community on the Murrumbidgee. Wagga Wagga City Council’s Disability Inclusion Action Plan 2017-2021 was developed following broad community consultation about what the community wanted for the City’s future. Through the community engagement process the people of Wagga Wagga and surrounding rural villages indicated that inclusion was very important to our future. This strongly supported Council’s commitment to disability inclusion action planning as prescribed through the Disability Inclusion Act 2014 (DIAP 2014) and “inclusive” was therefore added to our vision and identified as a “guiding principle” in our Community Strategic Plan. The Disability Inclusion Action Plan also provides clear direction to ensure Council is developing a liveable city which is thriving, connected, innovative and inclusive. The plan includes a list of actions that Council will deliver over the next four years within the Wagga Wagga Local Government Area to remove barriers to access and increase opportunities for inclusion of people with a disability in our community. Wagga Wagga City Council is committed to disability inclusion action planning and actions identified for delivery in the 2018/19 financial year have been included in our Operational Plan. These actions are designed to address four key areas:

• Developing positive community attitudes and behaviours • Creating liveable communities • Supporting access to meaningful employment • Improving access to services through better systems and processes

financial overview

Long Term Financial Plan

Financial sustainability is one of the key issues facing local government. This is due to several contributing factors, including growing demands for community services and facilities, constrained revenue growth and ageing infrastructure. The Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP) is an essential element of the resourcing strategy. It details how Council can achieve the strategic aspirations outlined in the Community Strategic Plan in terms of time, money, assets and people. The LTFP is formulated, using a number of estimates and assumptions, to project the future revenue and expenditure required of the Council to deliver those services and projects expected by the community. In doing so, it addresses the resources that impact the Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to fund its services and capital works whilst remaining financially sustainable. The draft budget for 2018/19 is balanced with the financial years 2019/20 to 2024/25 showing projected deficits and 2025/26 to 2027/28 showing projected surplus positions. These projected positions highlight the significant issues that Council has been facing due to the unfavourable adjustments to revenue sources (Financial Assistance Grants and Rate Pegging restrictions) in previous financial years. The LTFP is also reviewed during the year and changes adopted via the Monthly Financial Performance Report presented to Council. This report assesses Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance against budget each month. If there are any changes to the budget that result from this process they are reported to Council and adjusted in the Long Term Financial Plan.

The objectives of the Long Term Financial Plan are: • to provide a forecast financial position over 10 years to ensure that the Council remains financially sustainable • to support the implementation of the Wagga View: Community Strategic Plan 2040 • to identify and highlight future challenges, issues and financial trends to ensure that they are proactively addressed • to ensure compliance with legislative requirements of integrated planning and reporting contained in the Local Government Act and the guidelines produced by the NSW Office of Local Government • to continue the trend towards meeting all seven of the ‘Fit for the Future’ ratios.

Fit for the Future

The Minister for Local Government, in response to the findings of a comprehensive three-year independent review of local government, announced the ‘Fit for the Future’ Local Government reform package. As part of this package all councils were requested by 30 June 2015 to assess their current financial situation, consider whether or not they have the appropriate scale and capacity to meet the future needs of their communities and to develop a plan to ensure they are financially sustainable in the future. A Fit for the Future council is one that is: • Sustainable • Efficient • Effectively manages infrastructure and delivers services for communities • Has the scale and capacity to engage effectively across community, industry and government. In October 2015, IPART deemed the Wagga Wagga City Council ‘Fit for the Future’ as a stand-alone organisation

based on the actions and strategies identified in Council’s improvement proposal. The action plan outlines how Council is committed to a number of key improvement strategies to meet five of the benchmarks and trend towards the remaining two benchmarks by 2019/20. Council’s improvement proposal can be accessed on the Wagga Wagga City Council’s website.

The six (6) Key Financial Strategies employed in Council’s financial planning process are: 1) Financial sustainability • Balanced Budgets • Maintain Current Working Funds 2) Prudent financial investment

The key improvement strategies to be implemented to improve Council’s financial position and sustainability as part of the 2018/28 budget process include targeted efficiency (service) reviews of $800K annually and increased revenue targets of $300K from 2016/17. Council will direct these funds towards the renewal of infrastructure and maintenance of assets which will assist in reducing the infrastructure backlog.

3) Effective utilisation of funding sources to fund capital works

A key consideration in Council’s decision making, as part of this improvement plan is the ongoing commitment to improving our financial position and sustainability. This includes maintaining and improving the unrestricted cash and investments result whilst achieving a balanced or preferably a surplus budget each financial year.

6) Narrow the Infrastructure Funding Gap

4) Maintain tight control over expenditure and staff numbers, while still maintaining best value services, facilities and infrastructure 5) Maintain/move towards above benchmark results against key performance indicators

Financial Strategy

Council is committed to operating in a financially sustainable framework, to ensure that the community and other stakeholders can rely upon the ongoing provision of a full and diverse range of high quality community services, facilities and infrastructure. Council plans to maintain its financial position and performance, to ensure resilience and a capacity to adapt and respond to arising community needs in a measured and equitable manner.

Delivery Program Budget Table 1 displays Council’s net budget position for the next four years. Further details of the budgeted capital works program can be found in Appendix 1.

Major projects and capital works

Included in Council’s 2018/28 Long Term Financial Plan - Capital Works Program are four significant projects: The potential uncertainties around some of Council’s planned major projects have the ability to have a significant impact on the Long Term Financial Plan, both in regards to timing and costing.

Levee Upgrade Project – Special Rate Variation – 2016/17 to 2020/21 Wagga Wagga City Council has been planning an upgrade to the levee system since 2007, and recently completed detailed designs for the Main City and North Wagga Levee Upgrade Project. Following extensive community consultation, Council resolved to upgrade the Main City Levee to a 1 in 100 year level of protection. The full impact of upgrading the North Wagga Levee is still to be considered as part of the Floodplain Risk Management Study.

The upgrade of the Main City Levee will ensure the protection of both residences and businesses in Central Wagga in the event of a 1 in 100 year flood. This will reduce the likelihood that the area will need to be evacuated during a flood event, which can also have an immediate social and 18

economic impact. In some flood events the upgrade will mean that flood levels in parts of the floodplain upstream and outside of the Main City Levee will increase slightly. The total estimated cost of upgrading the Main City Levee to a 1 in 100 year level of protection and upgrading the North Wagga Levee to a 1 in 20 year level of protection is $23.3M. These estimated project costs are based on estimates provided by NSW Public Works. The funding ratio for the project is 2:1, with two-thirds ($15.5M) funded by Federal and State Grants and one third ($7.78M) funded by Council via a temporary Special Rate Variation (SRV) over a five year period. This SRV commenced from 1 July 2016. Due to the extensive drought farmers have experienced over the past decade, Council resolved to charge the Farmland rate category a lower percentage than all other rate categories:

Capital Works

Capital works projects and programs account for over $56 million of the planned activities for the 2018/2019 financial year. There are three different categories of capital works; new, recurrent and potential. New capital projects refers to the one-off projects Council will undertake during the year. Recurrent capital projects refers to the expenditure allocated on an annual basis for capital works programs. Potential capital projects refers to the projects that require further investigation or require joint funding that has not yet been confirmed. A breakdown of individual projects and their costs can be found in:

Estimated costs

$23,253,306

Table 3: Levee upgrade projected project costs are based on estimates provided by NSW Public Works.

As the SRV is a temporary variation, at the end of the five year period, rates payable in (2021/22) will revert back to the equivalent level to that if an SRV had not occurred. The upgrade of the Main City Levee Bank project commenced in October 2017.
