MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR AND GENERAL MANAGER

It is with pleasure that Brewarrina Shire Council presents its first Delivery Program and one year Operational Plan in the new Integrated Planning and Reporting guidelines required by State Government Legislation. This fresh approach commenced in 2009 with community consultations and the development of community priorities as set out in the Brewarrina Community Strategic Plan. Since then, Council has developed a resourcing strategy that identifies Council’s current resources and the formulation of management plans for Council assets, finances and human resources for the next 10 years.

These documents inform the Delivery Program which sets out Council’s strategic direction for the next five years. This document balances Council’s obligation to deliver services the community wants, using the resources Council has and can afford to deliver.

These plans have highlighted the need for Council to find more efficient and effective ways of doing business. Putting this simply, Council either has to generate more income, become more efficient at delivering services to meet community expectations, or lower service levels in keeping with Council and community affordability. These are the challenges for Council in its endeavour to keep Brewarrina Shire viable and sustainable. Although there are many activities identified in the 20 year Community Strategic Plan, it is difficult for Council to fulfil community expectation with limited resources.

At this point, it is necessary to acknowledge that the Delivery Program and the Operational Plan are road maps to guide our shire into the future. Sometimes no matter how hard we plan there are always going to be unexpected and uncontrollable road blocks that challenge our way forward. Flood events and the uncertainty of annual grant incomes have a huge impact on Council’s operations and often require community priorities and resources to be scrutinised and re‐allocated. Council and the community have to make allowances for the unexpected, be realistic about what is achievable and apply a level of flexibility to the Delivery Program and the Operational Plan.

A frustration for Council is the expanding need to maintain and improve our road infrastructure to support economic growth of agricultural industry and services to our towns and villages. The recent 2012 flood magnified the inadequacy of the Brewarrina shire road network to transport products and services in and out of our shire, both during and after the flood event. More funding for roads is essential to sustain our local economy.

OPERATION PLAN 2012/2013

Major Events The two major events for Council will be;

1. Local Government Elections ‐ September 2012 The elections will provide another opportunity for the community to express its desires for the future. We encourage civic‐minded citizens to nominate for Council and have a say in setting the future direction for your community. Councillors role is to act as a member of the governing body of Council and balance the obligation to represent the interests of individual constituents with the 4

Brewarrina Shire Council Delivery Program 2012 - 2017 and Operation Plan 2012 - 2013 5

need to make decisions on behalf of the whole community. It will be the new Council’s task to review the Delivery Program before 30 June 2013 and set the strategic direction for a further four years.

2. Brewarrina’s sesquicentennial (150 year) celebrations – 20th to 28th April 2013 Council recognises indigenous Australians inhabited the Brewarrina area 40,000 years before the State of NSW proclaimed Brewarrina a town in 1863. Brewarrina’s history predates back to pre‐ historic times however our sesquicentennial anniversary is a celebratory milestone for our modern history. Council is working with the sesquicentennial committee to deliver activities from the 20th to 28th April 2013 and encourages the community to get involved.

Income In looking to the future, and in order to fund its service delivery requirements in increasingly difficult economic times, Council has implemented the following changes to its rating structure for the 2012/13 financial year.

1 General fund rate increase Brewarrina Shire has one of the smallest rate bases in NSW, with a general rate income in 2011/12 of $882,540. Council has considered and adopted a rate increase of 3.6% for the 2012/13 financial year, which is the maximum increase allowable under the State Government’s rate pegging legislation. In real‐terms this rate increase will only generate an additional income of $31,770 per year and for the average town dweller, will result in an increase of around $10.00.

2 User‐pays filtered water Council has installed water meters to all households receiving a filtered water service which will generate a user‐pays water charge instead of the historical flat water rate for each rateable property. Unfiltered water will not be metered and a common access charge will be applied to all connected properties. Water meter billing will commence on the 1st July 2012 and conservative water users can expect to see savings and those who use filtered water more liberally can expect to pay for the privilege. It will operate in exactly the same way as your electricity account in that the more you use, the more you pay.

Expenditure Highlights Within this document, Council has identified priorities and capital works projects for completion in the 2012/13 financial year.

1 Repairs and maintenance to the Brewarrina Community Centre Council has applied to borrow funds of $250,000, to repair and maintain the Brewarrina Community Centre.

2 Upgrade of Brewarrina sand filter As a matter of urgency, Council has applied to borrow funds of $250,000, to replace the Brewarrina sand filter and ensure the future water quality for Brewarrina town residents.

Brewarrina Shire Council Delivery Program 2012 - 2017 and Operation Plan 2012 - 2013 6

3 Upgrade of local rural roads and regional rural roads Council has allocated; $633,567 to re‐sheet local rural roads including the Monkey Bridge, Narran Lake and Goodooga‐Langboyd Roads $203,763 to reseal sections of road on the Jobs Gate and Goodooga Roads $328,883 to gravel sections of the Goodooga Road

4 Upgrade of town streets Council has allocated $35,492 to reseal existing pavement on Bourke St (Between Darling and Sandon St) and Bathurst St (between Young and Belmore St).

5 Customer service standards Council will develop and adopt customer service standards across the organisation to ensure staff and residents / ratepayers have a clear understanding of what Council’s level of customer service is.

6 Corporate governance and risk management Council will ensure corporate governance compliance and risk management obligations are met.

7 Achieve best practice in water and sewer management During 2012/13, Council will achieve best practice in water and sewer services as outlined by the Lower Macquarie Water Users Association.

8 Waste management strategy Council will adopt and implement a waste management strategy to control waste in our towns and villages

9 Review of Brewarrina town master plan Council will work with business owners in the Brewarrina CBD to review and develop a Brewarrina Town Master Plan that focuses on the aesthetics of our business district.

It is a busy, yet exciting year ahead for Council. Brewarrina shire is full of opportunities and we to look forward to working with you to make our shire the best place to live and work for our residents and ratepayers.

INTRODUCTION TO BREWARRINA SHIRE

Brewarrina is a rural and remote community located in the north west region of New South Wales on the banks of the Barwon River, 800 km’s north west of Sydney.

The shire has a total population of 1944 persons (ABS 2006), spread over an area of 19,000 sq km’s and boarders the state line of Queensland to the north and is surrounded by the shires of Walgett, Warren, Bogan and Bourke. The nearest major population and regional centre is the city of Dubbo, approximately 400 km’s southeast of Brewarrina.

Brewarrina Shire covers approx. 2.4% of the total area of NSW and contains less than 0.036% of the total population, with one person for every 8.7 squ kms. In comparison Sydney, which covers 1.5 % of the total area of NSW, contains 62% of the total state’s population.

BREWARRINA SHIRE Brewarrina is the largest centre in the Shire, consisting of two Aboriginal reserves situated close to town (West Brewarrina and Barwon Four). The population of Brewarrina represents about 55% of the total population of the Brewarrina Shire.

In addition to Brewarrina, there are four other populated centres within the shire. The largest is the village of Goodooga in the north east of the shire with a population of approximately 265 residents. Not far from Goodooga on the north east border of the shire is the village of Angledool with an estimated population of 40 people. A further community of 63 people live at Weilmoringle in the north west of the shire, whilst a small fluctuating settlement of between 10‐40 persons reside at the village of Gongolgon 45 km south of Brewarrina. There is an estimated population of 400 persons living on rural properties (ABS 2006).

The shire population has steadily declined over the past eight census counts, with 320 persons leaving the district since 1991. As at the last census date the majority of the Brewarrina population were under 45 years of age, with one third younger than 15 years. A greater proportion of these younger people are amongst the Aboriginal population.

During 2006, Aboriginal people constituted the majority in each population grouping within the shire, with the exception of the rural locations, with a total Aboriginal population of 1279. The Aboriginal population of the shire has increased over the past ten years, as shown in the last three Census counts, with an increase of 216 between 1991 and 2006, representing 59.5% of the population at the time of the 2006 census.

The Brewarrina Shire is home to the Ngemba, Murri Warri, Euahlayi, Weilwan, Ualari and Barranbinya people. Brewarrina has great historical significance to the Aboriginal people of the region as the town was one of the great inter‐tribal meeting places of eastern Australia with the unique fisheries or "Nghunhu”, sustaining hundreds of Aboriginal people during the tribal gatherings held prior to european settlement.

Brewarrina Shire Council Delivery Program 2012 - 2017 and Operation Plan 2012 - 2013 9

The fisheries are elaborate man made stone constructions in the riverbed designed to trap fish. The Brewarrina Fish Traps is an Australian heritage listed site and are of spiritual significance to Aboriginal people.

Brewarrina had a strong river boat culture during early colonial days and the historic Brewarrina lift span bridge, built in 1888‐1889 is still standing today. This bridge is one of the few remaining lift‐span bridges of its kind along the Barwon‐Darling River system.

Agriculture is a strong sector of the Brewarrina economy and the area is a major producer of wool, livestock and a significant producer of cotton and wheat.

INTEGRATED PLANNING AND REPORTING

Integrated planning and reporting is the framework for planning and reporting introduced by local governments across New South Wales from 2010. It aims to ensure that councils become better at reflecting community aspirations within their activity base. In order to ensure that this occurs, a new approach is being taken to develop annual budgets and programs.

Historically councils have developed a draft management plan and budget to look at a particular year’s activities and the community was asked to comment on this. Integrated planning is a long term outlook (10 years), based around a Community Strategic Plan reflecting the community’s aspirations.

In order to ensure this occurs the integrated planning model advocates a ‘three tier’ hierarchy of plans consisting of a Community Strategic Plan, a Delivery Program and an Operational Plan (see diagram below).

Long‐term Financial Plan Asset Management Plan Workforce Management Plan

Integrated planning and reporting framework

Brewarrina Shire Council Delivery Program 2012 - 2017 and Operation Plan 2012 - 2013 13

COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN A requirement of the integrated planning and reporting (IP&R) framework is for all local councils in NSW to have a Community Strategic Plan (CSP) developed and adopted by 1 July 2012.

“The Community Strategic Plan provides a vehicle for expressing long‐term community aspirations. However, these will not be achieved without sufficient resources – time, money, assets and people – to actually carry them out”. Source: IPR Guidelines

The Community Strategic Plan should be developed and delivered as a partnership between council, state agencies, community groups and individuals. It should address a broad range of issues that are relevant to the whole community.

DELIVERY PROGRAM The Delivery Program outlines the principal activities council will undertake to achieve objectives set out in the Community Strategic Plan within the resources identified in council’s resourcing strategy.

The Delivery Program must include a method to measure the effective delivery of activities and includes how objectives will be met.

Each newly elected council will develop a Delivery Program that covers their 4‐year term outlining principal activities of the council, commencing on 1 July following the election

The General Manager is to report to Council on progress of the Delivery Program at least every 6 months.

OPERATIONAL PLAN The Operational Plan is a more detailed plan and explains how council will deliver activities identified in the Delivery Plan for a 12 month period.

The Operational Plan must: • Be adopted before the beginning of each financial year • Include the Statement of revenue policy • Be publicly exhibited for at least 28 days and public submissions can be made to council during this period for council to consider prior to adopting • Once adopted, the plan must be placed on the council’s website within 28 days

The General Manager will report to Council on the progress of the Operational Plan every 3 months.

HOW TO READ THE STRATEGY AND ACTION TABLES

The Community Strategies 2022 (dark red) and Community Priorities 2012–2017 (dark blue) have been taken directly from the Community Strategic Plan (CSP).

Note: Even though this is council's Delivery and Operational Plan the tables include all the priorities listed by the community in the Community Strategic Plan, even those the community considers to be the responsibility of other agencies.

Council Actions 2012–2013 (light blue) are what council intends to do over the next five years to try and achieve the community priorities.

Responsible Agency/Officer (green) identifies the organisation responsible for undertaking the strategy or action. If council is responsible for the strategy or action, the responsible officer(s) is also listed.

Capital Works Projects indicated in the current Operational Plan are identified as CWP (in orange).

Measures and Targets (Grey) indicates how we are going to measure whether or not we’ve achieved the actions.

The stars indicate the year or years in which the action(s) will be carried out. ‐ 2012/13

133 Brewarrina Shire Council REVENUE POLICY 2012 -2013 Statement of Revenue Policy Council obtains its income from a range of sources including:

• Rates • Charges • Fees • Private Works • Grants • Contributions • Loan borrowing

Council will ensure all rates, fees and charges will be applied equitably. Council supports the user pay principle in assessing the levying of fees and charges and the amounts to which they are set, this is balanced with the needs of those in the community for whom it would impose undue hardship.

The estimated yields of rates are calculated on a 3.6% increase, this is the maximum percentage rates increase specified by the Minister. The Division of Local Government has also advised that Council has a total carry-forward catch-up entitlement of $8,769 and this amount has been added to the total general rates income for 2012/2013.

Interest on Overdue Rates Council proposes to charge interest on overdue rates at a rate of 9% per annum.

137 Brewarrina Shire Council REVENUE POLICY 2012 -2013 Annual Charges

Council provides a range of services on an annual basis for which it charges an annual charge.

• Water Supply • Sewerage Services • Domestic Waste • Other Waste Water Access and Usage Charges Brewarrina Shire Council is implementing a new water management system to conserve water in 2012 following NSW Government dissatisfaction that residents in the Brewarrina Shire have no water meters and use 10 times more water than other towns in NSW. All residential, commercial and Council properties must have water meters installed by June 2012. The new charges replace the ‘rate’ previously charged to all ratepayers. There are three charges which now replace the old ‘rate’.

Access Charge: The access charge is calculated annually. It is made up of approximately 50% of the total cost required per year to supply filtered (potable) water to Brewarrina Shire Council residents.

Usage Charge: The usage charge is calculated and charged half yearly. You will be charged a set price for each kilolitre of water used. The charge associated with this is linked directly to how much filtered (potable) water is used by the householder.

Raw Water Charge: No change will be made to raw water charges (outdoor water supply). You will continue to be charged a standard access charge, which is calculated to provide sufficient funds for Council to operate maintain and repair the raw water supply infrastructure.

Sewerage Access Charges

Charges for the provision of sewerage services in Brewarrina and Goodooga are calculated and charged on an annual basis.

Brewarrina and Goodooga will be levied a charge equal to an 8% increase on the previous year rate, this will bring the cost of providing the service in line with providing the service for Brewarrina. The cost of providing the service to Goodooga is significantly higher than Brewarrina on a per capita basis and future years will see Brewarrina charges stabilize with Goodooga remaining in ‘catch up ‘ mode.

Waste Management Services

Domestic Waste Management

Domestic Waste Management (DWM) services include the collection, transportation and disposal of household waste. In accordance with Section 496 of the Local Government Act, 1993, Council proposes to levy an annual charge for the provision of Domestic Waste Management services on each parcel of land in Brewarrina, Goodooga and Gongolgon for which the service is available.

The charges are proposed to be increased by 3.6% in 2012/2013. These charges are the minimum charges that will recoup the perceived costs of making the Domestic Waste Management service available.

Council’s Draft waste management plan has identified the need for a new tip at Brewarrina and investigation into improved waste sites at Goodooga and New Angledool (Weilmoringle has a Lands Council controlled tip and Gongolgon accesses the Brewarrina tip through a weekly waste collection service).

The anticipated waste management charges of $212,000 (2012/13) makes no allowance for the increased cost of implementing the draft waste management plan.

140 Brewarrina Shire Council REVENUE POLICY 2012 -2013

Accordingly, to address this situation it is considered that an increase to the current waste management charge of $50 / per year for three years would generate an additional $103,000 income for waste management which will substantially off-set expected future costs to implement the draft waste management plan.

TECHNICAL SERVICES WORKS PROGRAM 2012 ‐ 2017

NOTE

The Forward Works Program has been developed directly from the draft Asset Management Plans that have been written as part of the Integrated Planning Reporting Frameworks.

The projects contained in this plan have not been assessed under the criteria as specified within each Asset Management Plan. Once these criteria have been applied to each project, the proposed year of construction may change. This will be undertaken over the following years as each Asset Management Plan is refined.

There are two Asset Management Plans still to be developed, Airports and Waste & Miscellaneous. These plans shall be developed shortly although they will have little bearing on this year’s budget.
