Upper Lachlan Shire Council – Management Plan 2008/2009-2010/2011
Mayoral Message
As Mayor of the Upper Lachlan Shire, I am pleased to announce that the Management Plan for 2008/2009 has been finalised after extensive community consultation.
Management Plan’s are outlines of the Council’s action plan for the upcoming financial year and includes a summary of major activities to be undertaken, a proposed revenue policy to fund that activity and statutory statements, which identify performance targets and activities for the Council’s principle goals.
With an operating budget of approximately $18.6 million and demands from projects vital to the well being of the Shire, as well as from all sections of the community, I am pleased to report a projected balanced budget for the upcoming financial year. This will be achieved within the constraints placed on Council by the State Government through rate pegging of 3.20%. It should be noted that currently inflation nation wide is over 4%.
Roads Major achievements of the 2007/08 Management Plan include the reconstruction and sealing of MR52 (otherwise known as the Grabben Gullen Road), the sealing of the Oberon Road (known as the Tablelands Way), as well as the reconstruction and sealing of 13.5 of the scheduled 19 kilometres of the Boorowa Road (MR248 West). The remaining 5.5 kilometres of MR248 West is scheduled to be completed during the 2008 calendar year.
This $4.7 million project is six months ahead of schedule, which is a great achievement for all members of the Works and Operations Department.
The Council believes that the sealing of these roads will present tremendous benefits to the Upper Lachlan Shire both in terms of tourism and assisting primary producers. Council believes the financial strain in the short term will prove beneficial to the Shire in the long term by linking Upper Lachlan to the Central West of the State.
While all of these projects are important to the Council, the other major road project vital to the wellbeing of the Shire is Taralga Road (MR248 East).
Management Plan 2008/2009 adopted 26 June 2008 page 2 Upper Lachlan Shire Council – Management Plan 2008/2009-2010/2011
Recognising this road’s importance, the Council has committed itself to significant reconstruction and sealing of MR248 East over the next three years and as part of that commitment has reallocated $370,000 of the $470,000 of grant money from the Roads to Recovery Fund to capital works on the Taralga Road. A further $100,000 from this fund has been directed to the repair of the Collector Bridge. Also in line for upgrading works is MR241, the Dalton to Rye Park Road.
Recognising that the Upper Lachlan Shire Council has 2,036 kilometres of roads to maintain, of which 1,312 kilometres are unsealed, Council has elected to increase the road maintenance allocations by five percent above the budgeted allocation in 2007/2008.
Shire Health Issues Council has purchased and is now in the process of refurbishing, what was known as Banfield House, into an all purpose Medical Facility, suitable for visiting specialists as well as offices for other General Practice Physicians.
Towards this purpose Council was successful in its grant application to the Federal Government for funding of $440,000. With combined matching funding from Council, Frail Aged Association and Health Care Centre Inc. The Medical Centre, when completed, will be of considerable benefit not only for the health and well being of residents of Crookwell but also for the surrounding villages. Work on this new facility is scheduled for completion by end of July 2008.
Water, Sewer and Main Streets The management of water supply and sewer services are major responsibilities of Council. In response to this the Upper Lachlan Shire Council staff applied for and received grants from the NSW Department of Water and Energy and Sydney Catchment Authority in the order of $5 million, towards a sewer system project for the village of Taralga. The success of this project owes a lot to the efforts of the Manager of Water and Sewer, Luke Moloney, and his team and they deserve to be congratulated.
Preparations for the beautification of Crookwell and Gunning’s main streets are underway, with work due to begin this winter in Crookwell and with community consultation between Council and the Gunning Chamber of Commerce regarding what could best be done for the main street of Gunning.
Still in Gunning, Council is in consultation with the Upper Lachlan Tourist Association Committee in reviewing the upgrading of the town’s caravan park.
The Upper Lachlan Shire Council is a leader in the provision of community support and has allocated donations of $44,291 towards local charities, as well as sporting and community groups.
There are numerous other areas of spending within the total capital infrastructure expenditure program being $8.4 million in 2008/2009.
Management Plan 2008/2009 adopted 26 June 2008 page 3 Upper Lachlan Shire Council – Management Plan 2008/2009-2010/2011
Levies General Ordinary Rates have been calculated with a revaluation of all land in the Shire by Land & Property Information. Land Values have increased by an average 8%, however this does not mean rates will increase by the same percentage, but the revaluation will mean a redistribution of the rates between different rating categories.
Water Supply Access Charges are estimated to include an increase of $10 a year for Crookwell, Taralga and Dalton bringing each town’s yearly levy to $430. Gunning will experience a $70 increase in their water access charge, which equates to a yearly water charge of $280. Please note that the Domestic Waste Management / Recycling Annual Charge will increase by $15.
As always Upper Lachlan Shire Council has welcomed the community participation from the ratepayers and residents in the Shire into compiling the adopted Management Plan. All Management Plan submissions have been considered by Council.
The Management Plan is presented in accordance within the provisions of the Local Government Act 1993 (as amended).

Management Plan 2008/2009 adopted 26 June 2008 page 4 Upper Lachlan Shire Council – Management Plan 2008/2009-2010/2011
General Managers overview
It is a requirement under the Local Government Act, 1993 for all Councils to prepare and adopt a Management Plan covering a period of three years. The Plan is, in fact, a ‘Vision Statement’, which provides the community with an outline of how the Council has prioritised its resources to meet their understanding of the community’s concerns. This is to be seen as a working document and will be referred to as the financial year progresses.
The Council’s ‘Principal Activities’ are the ‘core activities’ for which Council receives income through rates, grants and other revenue raising activities, and includes the activities upon which these funds are expended.
These core activities include: administration; public order and safety; health services; community services and education; housing and community amenities; recreation and cultural activities; mining, manufacturing and construction; transport and communications; economic affairs; waste management; water supplies and sewerage services.
Upper Lachlan Shire Council is employing a long term strategic focus with respect to all of Council’s core activities. Council has developed a five year capital budget of income and expenditure to establish a pathway for the future direction of the Council’s major capital works, infrastructure renewals and operations projects
This year’s Management Plan continues the good work of the last three financial years. The 2008/2009 projected operational budget is a financially responsible budget with a balanced budget proposed.
Council has an operating budget of $18.6 million and the responsibility to produce an equitable Management Plan is considerable. This year’s budget draws $7.5 million from rates and annual charges; another $5.7 million from user charges and fees; and the remainder coming from grants, interest revenues and other revenues. All NSW Councils have been limited to a maximum 3.20 percent increase in total rates income this year, which means an estimated increase of $161,200 for this Shire.
Management Plan 2008/2009 adopted 26 June 2008 page 5 Upper Lachlan Shire Council – Management Plan 2008/2009-2010/2011 The following items will have a significant impact on the operating budget for 2008/2009:- • Council estimates the forthcoming financial year will see a CPI increase of 4.10% for materials and contracts, as well as an expected increase of salaries and wages for Council staff of an estimated 4%; this includes salary increases, on-costs and salary step progressions.
• The road maintenance budgeted allocation has increased by 5 percent above the allocation in 2007/2008.
• Section 356 Donations – an estimated expenditure of $44,291 is budgeted which is comparable to the previous year and all donations are outlined on Page 134.
• Depreciation Expense – to comply with the Department of Local Government directives all buildings, other structures, plant and equipment, water infrastructure and sewer infrastructure were required to be revalued to reflect the current replacement cost and remaining useful lives. This has resulted in an additional amount of $559,000 budgeted for asset depreciation expense in 2008/2009. The total depreciation allocation now totals over $4.1 million or 22% of total operating expenditure.
Like all NSW Councils, the Upper Lachlan Shire Council is placed under considerable financial constraint by the NSW State Government through rate pegging and cost shifting. Council has tried to address the needs expressed through the submission process from all the Shire’s localities but unfortunately, does not have the ability to fund every proposal put forward.
Submissions come from many avenues including the community, sporting groups, charity groups, Section 355 bodies and the Council’s Departmental Directors. Councillors then develop a Management Plan and Revenue Policy for the financial year.
I want to encourage all residents to review the Management Plan whilst it is on exhibition and to provide Council with some feedback on the plan by making a submission if they believe that some important item has been excluded. I want to assure residents that all submissions to the Draft Management Plan were reviewed by Council. A plan such as this will become a living document which we, as a community can add to and assist in reflecting the direction we hope to follow.
Copies of the plan have been made available for public inspection and comment for twenty eight days. The documents were available at the three Council Offices and two Council Libraries and other centres throughout the Shire. The Draft Management Plan and submission forms were also available on the Council’s website www.upperlachlan.local-e.nsw.gov.au. Inquiries are to be directed to the Manager of Finance and Administration, Bruce Johnston, 4830-1000.
The submissions period closed at 4.00pm, Friday, 20 June 2008. During this period written submissions were forwarded to Council and addressed to the General Manager, Upper Lachlan Shire Council, PO Box 10, Crookwell NSW 2583 and were tabled to the Ordinary Council Meeting on 26 June 2008 for consideration.

Council, in all its activities and practices, is committed to the principles of EEO. All recruitment is conducted in accordance with EEO principles and job advertisements all carry an EEO commitment message. Staff selection aims at employing the best possible candidate in every case on the basis of their skills, qualifications, abilities, work performance and aptitudes. All staff Position Descriptions includes the requirement for the employee to have a basic knowledge of EEO requirements.
Council has an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Policy which is available to all employees and elected members. This is subject to progressive review in conjunction with an overall review of Council’s policies. EEO matters will also be referred from time to time to the Council’s Consultative Committee. The EEO Policy was reviewed and adopted in October 2007.
We will continue to monitor, review and update Council’s Equal Employment Opportunity Management Plan to comply with the objectives of the Local Government Act 1993.
The objective of the EEO Plan is to:
1. Eliminate and ensure the absence of discrimination and harassment in employment on the grounds of sex, pregnancy, race or ethno-religious background, marital status, disability, homosexuality, transgender, and by age compliance with the Industrial Relations Act, 1996 (New South Wales).
2. To promote equal opportunity for all by compliance with the Federal Affirmative Action Plan (Equal Opportunity for Women) Act, 1986, the Anti-Discrimination Act. 1998 (New South Wales) and the Disability Discrimination Act, 1992.
Implementation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Management Plan ensures that Council will continue to review its policies and procedures on recruitment selection, promotion, training and development, to ensure that employment and promotion is based on merit principles.
The opportunity of training for all staff will be provided. It is proposed that all new staff undergo an induction program, which includes overview of the Equal Employment Opportunity Management Plan. Council will review its Equal Employment Opportunity Management Plan annually.

13. LOCAL GOVERNMENT CONTEXT
Traditionally, ratepayers thought of Upper Lachlan Shire Council as providing the three R’s of rates, roads and rubbish. However since 1993 all Councils have been under increasing pressure to diversify its activities and as such the list of activities and services that the community expects Councils to provide are growing.
It is widely acknowledged that both the State and Commonwealth Governments are devolving their responsibilities onto Local Government without adequate compensation. It is estimated that the total burden of this “cost shifting” is costing NSW Local Government between $70 million and $350 million per annum, or 2% - 5% of its total revenue.
There are some pressing issues within the Upper Lachlan Shire Council that require urgent attention; including infrastructure renewals, higher community expectations for service levels, skills shortages in key industry areas, rising service delivery costs and ongoing maintenance of a large unsealed roads network.
Upper Lachlan Shire Council is subject to various external factors that impact on its ability to provide services to the community. The external factors can be classed into the following four broad categories of: statutory obligations, community expectations, infrastructure renewals and service level standards.
There is a fundamental challenge facing a number of Councils and that is the financial sustainability of the Council from a revenue generating perspective. The question that needs to be asked is whether the revenue of Upper Lachlan Shire Council is adequate to meets its statutory obligations, current services provided and future expected services. Council’s general ordinary rates revenue income percentage of 34% of total revenue is well below the state average of 48%.
The current Management Plan contains a five-year capital budget plan and a three-year operational plan and financial budget. Fundamental to these projections is the need to remain financially viable over the longer-term and to ensure that scarce resources are allocated wisely and with the longer-term in mind.
The Management Plan has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Local Government Act 1993 (Sections 402-406) and includes Council’s vision, mission, goals and objectives for each of its service areas and the means by which the Council intends to achieve its objectives over the next year. Throughout 2008/2009 this document will be reviewed and a progress report will be submitted to council on a quarterly basis.

17. FEES TO BE CHARGED
The Fees Structure for 2008-2009 is in accordance with the attached Annexure document. Included is a Schedule of Charges for private works. It should be noted that some fees are fixed by Regulation and are shown in the document as the current fee, which will be varied according to changes made by Regulation.
18. PRICING POLICY FOR GOODS AND SERVICES PROVIDED
Council will impose a fee or charge for any service provided. The amount of any fee or charge will seek to recover all costs, except in cases where Council considers a community service obligation is appropriate in providing a service.
The Schedule of Fees and Charges reflects this policy and Council’s Policy is produced below:
PRICING POLICY PRINCIPLES:
Category 1 - Full Cost Recovery Recovery of all direct and indirect costs associated with providing a service, including in some cases, making provision for future capital expenditure.
Category 2 - Partial Cost Recovery Subsidised operations which are of benefit to the community as a whole, and undertaken voluntarily by Council or as a requirement of the Act.
Category 3 - Market Pricing When Council provides a similar service 'in competition' with other Councils or agencies, e.g. saleyard fees, etc. where alternative service providers are available. This category also includes prescribed or recommended fees. Council will set reasonable fees and will not use subsidies to aggressively price others out of the market.
Category 4 – Disincentive Pricing Where Council sets a fee structure: (i) For non-core activities to encourage customers to seek alternative service providers to provide the service. This applies to activities where Council would prefer not to provide the service in the long term. (ii) To promote compliance with Council or legislative regulations in order to encourage people to 'do the right thing' e.g., interest charges on overdue rates, dog release fees, stock impounding fees, library fines, etc.
Category 5 - Sewerage Service Pricing Where Council sets a fee structure: (i) Follows the Department of Water and Energy, Best Practice Pricing Guidelines and is a combination of uniform annual charges, access and usage charges. (ii) Collects revenue to fund the sewerage system from ratepayers who actually benefit from availability or use of Council's sewerage system. (iii) Ensures Council derives sufficient income to operate the sewerage system and provide for future capital expenditure and debt servicing.
Management Plan 2008/2009 adopted 26 June 2008 page 116 Upper Lachlan Shire Council – Management Plan 2008/2009-2010/2011 (iv) Send appropriate pricing signals, can be administered relatively simply and inexpensively and can be understood by the public. (v) No cross-subsidisation between residential and non-residential categories.
Category 6 - Water Supply Service Pricing (i) Is based on a combination of service and usage charges. (ii) Collects revenue to fund the water supply system from the people who actually benefit from availability or use of Council's water supply. (iii) Ensures Council derives sufficient income to operate the water supply system, irrespective of seasonal fluctuations and provides for capital and debt servicing. (iv) Assists in the deferment of capital works. (v) Can be administered simply and cheaply and be easily understood by the public.
Category 7 - Section 94 / Section 64 Contributions Pricing. To ensure Section 94 and Section 64 contributions reflect the costs incurred in providing community facilities/services, open space and recreational facilities, required to meet the additional needs of the community created by new development and in doing so, ensure the local amenity does not diminish.
Category 8 - Set By Statute, Regulation, or Government Department. Certain fees and charges are set by Regulation, by Ministerial approval or by State or Federal Government pricing policy.
PROVISION OF SERVICES - Council staff examined the need for Council policies on extension of services to land. A recommendation for the provision of services and financial costs with the servicing of land was submitted and was adopted stating that:
1. The provisions of the Local Government Act for liability of charges be applied, that is, any land or buildings within 225 metres of a water main or 75 metres to a sewer main (gravity drained). 2. No discounting of past charges will be given in connecting properties to Council services. 3. Council underwrite extension and service costs in servicing multiple allotment connections with subsequent recoupment from the individual connections as they occur. 4. Council allow for a replacement factor cost for any service extension where there is a maintenance component required with the mains extension. 5. Service extension costs being independent of the Section 64 contribution charges. 6. A Council review of Section 64 Contribution Plan to proceed according to the demands with the new Local Environmental Plan (LEP). 7. Council’s Manager of Water and Sewer review the service costing in the Section 64 infrastructure plan.
Management Plan 2008/2009 adopted 26 June 2008 page 117 Upper Lachlan Shire Council – Management Plan 2008/2009-2010/2011 19. PRIVATE WORKS
Council will undertake private work in accordance with adopted rates for the hire of plant and equipment. Private Work will be in accordance with the guidelines in Council’s Private Works (Projects and Plant Hire) Policy. Private Work however will only be carried out subject to the availability of Council plant and equipment and without significant disruption to existing work programs.
The Works and Operations Department of Council administer and implement the Private Works (Projects and Plant Hire) Policy. The policy is designed to protect public funds and the integrity, security and reputation of the Council and its staff and maintain a high level of services to the community.
No private works projects shall be undertaken until; the person requesting such private works has accepted the quotation in writing and payment for the work has been received by Council. However, private works to the value of $500.00 or up to two (2) hours duration of grading (whichever is the greater) may be allowed as an exception on the basis of payment being made by the applicant after the work has been carried out within one (1) month of invoicing.
Weed Control activity deemed as private work will also be included, with arrangements to be approved by the General Manager.
With respect to determining Quotations for Weed Control activities on private property, regard will be given to the general “community service” of providing a reasonable and affordable price, with Council’s hire rates to be adjusted in order to increase the level of private work activity. This will provide further opportunities to maximise the use of plant and equipment and achieve more efficient use of Council’s resources.
In all cases written quotations will be issued, with acceptance by Signed Agreement required for work in excess of $500.00. In all cases, sundry debtor accounts will be issued for work carried out and are payable within one (1) month.

ROADS AND BRIDGES including FLOODWAYS – 2008/2009
Council carries out road work for the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) under the Single Invitation Maintenance Contract on the following road.
STATE ROAD • MR54 – Goulburn / Crookwell / Tuena / Bathurst Road
Under the Regional Roads Program, Council receives funding from the RTA for maintenance and improvement works on the following Regional Roads within the Shire.
REGIONAL ROADS • MR52 – Crookwell / Gunning / Queanbeyan Road • MR241 – Gunning / Rye Park Road • MR248 – Taralga / Crookwell / Boorowa Road • MR256 – Goulburn / Taralga / Oberon Road • MR258 –Wombeyan Caves Road
The RTA provides funding by way of a BLOCK GRANT and TRAFFIC FACILITIES GRANT, which amounts to $1,165,000 in 2008/2009. This RTA funding is distributed by $920,000 expenditure on Regional Roads and Bridges maintenance and repair for 2008/2009. Annually Council will expend $250,000 of the Block Grant income on a bitumen resealing program on the Regional Roads.
Council also receives a continuation of the 3X3 GRANT of $123,000 from the RTA, this amount will be spent on Taralga Road, MR248E, road reconstruction capital works in 2008/2009.

The criterion for this funding is that Council is to match the RTA funding.
LOCAL ROADS
Based on local road priorities, as well as appropriate policies on the level of Council activity with respect to local roads, a Roads Hierarchy has been established and includes Local, Regional Main Roads and State Roads in the Council area. Upper Lachlan Shire Council allocates over $1.3 million of its own source revenue to fund operating and capital road maintenance and repair works in addition to the Financial Assistance Grant Roads Component expenditure totalling also over $1.3 million.

Management Plan 2008-2009 adopted 26 June 2008 page 121 Upper Lachlan Shire Council – Management Plan 2008/2009-2010/2011
ROAD HIERARCHY
Upper Lachlan Shire Council has a road network consisting of Local Roads, Regional Main Roads and State Roads. The roads are summarised as follows:-
Road Unsealed (km) Sealed (km) Total (km) Local urban 29.0 52.9 81.9 Local rural 1186.0 424.0 1610.0 Regional Main 63.7 187.2 250.9 State Road 14.6 78.5 93.1 Totals 1293.3 742.6 2035.9
As part of the Upper Lachlan Shire Council’s Road Management System, Council has created the following Road Hierarchy based on usage and average daily traffic volumes as a means of addressing maintenance activities and risk potential.
Type Average Daily Traffic (vpd) Urban Sealed Rural Sealed Rural Unsealed 1 0 - 25 0 - 10 2 0 – 50 25 - 50 10 – 25 3 50 – 200 50 – 150 25 – 100 4 200 – 400 150 – 300 100 – 175 5 400 – 750 300 – 500 175 – 250 6 >750 >500 >250
Purpose The purpose of the Upper Lachlan Shire Council’s Road Management system is to: Clearly define Council’s Road Hierarchy, which will be based on usage (Average Annual Daily Traffic). Set the level of service Council will provide in respect to its road network. Define the types of hazards that require consideration for repair. Define a well-structured road inspection system to identify hazards, deal with customer service requests and council employee service requests. Set priorities on which hazards are to be repaired based on risk. Assist the Council with short term and long term planning Assist Council with determining budgets and resources required.
Road Inspections Inspections are a formalised and sometimes independent assessment of sections of the road network, looking for hazards that may require repair and maintenance. It is carried out with regard to the standards and safety principles, by knowledgeable and skilled personnel.
Management Plan 2008-2009 adopted 26 June 2008 page 122 Upper Lachlan Shire Council – Management Plan 2008/2009-2010/2011 An inspection program has been developed, and the information gathered by this program shall be used as the main method of identifying all the known hazards and risks associated with the road network.
3 major types of inspection: • Formal (planned) • Service Request from road user • Service Request from Council employees
Once information has been collected it needs to be evaluated and a set of criteria applied in setting a priority based on a risk rating.
Criteria Used ¾ Road hierarchy for Upper Lachlan Shire Council (Higher Category results in more risk points) ¾ Location of defect within the road reserve (Defects in the traffic lanes get more points than say on the shoulder) ¾ Hazard type and severity – (A large pothole will get more points than say a faded sign) ¾ Road usage i.e. School Bus (rural roads only) (Additional risk points given to bus routes)
Upper Lachlan Shire Council Road Risk Rating ¾ After the inspection is completed and compared to the defects table, there will be 3 numerical components for each defect. These values are then transposed into Equation 1 (below) to give the Road Risk Rating (RRR) for the hazard identified. ¾ The RRR allows Council to prioritise the corrective action it intends to take, or allows the control measures to be scheduled. ¾ Note: The school bus weighting is applied only to Rural Bus routes due to the lack of alternative routes in the rural environment.
Equation 1
RRR = 1.5 x (Road Hierarchy) + Location category + Risk Category based on Description + 1.5 if a rural school bus route
