(Act for the Future) Directions for a New Local Government Act - Council Submission Special Council Meeting Agenda 12/09/16 7 Review of the Local Government Act (Act for the Future) Directions for a New Local Government Act - Council Submission Abstract The Minister for Local Government has initiated a review of the Local Government Act 1989. To support this review, the Minister has released a Directions Paper, which proposes far-reaching changes to the Act, including: Extending mayoral terms to two years, adding or strengthening mayoral powers and providing the option of direct mayoral elections Making council electoral structures, the number of councillors and wards more consistent Requiring Council Plans to be driven by "deliberative community engagement" (for example, citizens' juries) Removing the requirement for non-resident property owners to be voters Making voting rules consistent and providing the option for electronic voting for Council elections in 2020 Giving stronger powers to the Minister for Local Government to deal with individual councillors who compromise council governance Creating a single consistent land valuation system for levying rates There are 157 proposed directions in the Directions Paper. The stated intention of the Minister’s review of the Local Government Act 1989 is ‘...not to further renovate the existing Act but rather to create an entirely new legislative structure’. The Directions Paper indicates the aim of the review is to produce contemporary legislation that modernises the relationship between the state and local government to better reflect essential roles and responsibilities and which provides clear guidance to those who work in the sector, and the community, about those roles and responsibilities. The state government is seeking feedback on the Directions Paper by 16 September 2016. A proposed Council submission has been prepared for consideration by Council. Officers' recommendation That Council resolve: 1. To adopt the Council submission to the Review of the Local Government Act Directions Paper as annexed to the minutes. 2. To forward a copy of the Council submission to the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV), the Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA) and all local members of State parliament.

Purpose The purpose of this report is for councillors to consider the adoption of the Council submission to the Act for the Future - Directions for a new Local Government Act Directions paper (the Paper). 2. Policy implications and relevance to council plan This report is consistent with the strategy within the Council Plan 2013 - 2017 focused on community well being and sense of place, and in particular with the long-term vision of community connectedness and the strategic objective of strengthening communities. 3. Background The State Government is seeking the views of the sector and community on all aspects of the Local Government Act. The Minister has released a Directions paper.

The Local Government Act Review sets out to provide a blue print for a contemporary Act. The Minister has advised that the “aim of the review is to produce contemporary legislation that modernises the relationship between the state and local government to better reflect essential roles and responsibilities and which provides clear guidance to those who work in the sector, and the community, about those roles and responsibilities”. 4. Outline of key issues/options There are 10 headline directions set out in the Paper. These are: 1. Mayors - Greater powers and longer terms 2. Consistent representative structures 3. Democratic voting rules supporting high participation 4. Council Plans driven by deliberative community engagement (for example, citizens' juries) 5. Integrated Planning 6. Stronger Ministerial powers to resolve dysfunction 7. Transparency in CEO remuneration policy 8. Autonomous councils with independent decision making 9. Financially sustainable councils - innovative & collaborative 10. Consistency in rating - CIV to be the valuation methodology Officers have prepared a response (see Attachment 2) to the 157 directions put forward by the Paper based upon officer understanding of Council's views and having regard to past resolution(s) of Council, the Council Plan 2013- 2017, Annual Plan 2016-2017, adopted Council policies and strategies and the feedback Council provided to the Georgiou Report on the Local Government Electoral Review. Submissions to the Paper close on Friday 16 September 2016. 5. Consultation/communication The Executive Leadership Team and the Senior Leadership Team have been given the opportunity to contribute to the Council response to the Paper. Further opportunities for involvement in the review of the Local Government Act are expected through the exposure draft Bill in 2017 and technical working groups as the new Act takes shape. 6. Financial and resource implications Other than officer time in preparing a response to the Paper there are no direct financial implications to Council in responding to the Paper. There are however a number of proposed reforms which have potential resource implications for Council, both positive and negative, the impact of which are not assessable in detail at this time. City of Boroondara Review of Local Government Act Page 3 of 220 Special Council Meeting Agenda 12/09/16 7. Governance issues Officers involved in the preparation of this report have no conflicts of interest. It is envisaged that the proposed actions in this report present no actual or potential breaches of, or infringements upon, rights prescribed in Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities. 8. Social and environmental issues The Local Government Act is the key legislation authorising councils to act. It is important that the significant role of local government in the community is recognised and enabled by the legislation. The feedback provided by Council to the Paper has the potential to achieve worthwhile results for the Boroondara community and the broader Victorian community.

  • 7.5. Final Outcomes of 2020 General Valuation
    Council Meeting Agenda 24/08/2020 7.5 Final outcomes of 2020 General Valuation Abstract This report provides detailed information in relation to the 2020 general valuation of all rateable property and recommends a Council resolution to receive the 1 January 2020 General Valuation in accordance with section 7AF of the Valuation of Land Act 1960. The overall movement in property valuations is as follows: Site Value Capital Improved Net Annual Value Value 2019 Valuations $82,606,592,900 $112,931,834,000 $5,713,810,200 2020 Valuations $86,992,773,300 $116,769,664,000 $5,904,236,100 Change $4,386,180,400 $3,837,830,000 $190,425,800 % Difference 5.31% 3.40% 3.33% The level of value date is 1 January 2020 and the new valuation came into effect from 1 July 2020 and is being used for apportioning rates for the 2020/21 financial year. The general valuation impacts the distribution of rating liability across the municipality. It does not provide Council with any additional revenue. The distribution of rates is affected each general valuation by the movement in the various property classes. The important point from an equity consideration is that all properties must be valued at a common date (i.e. 1 January 2020), so that all are affected by the same market. Large shifts in an individual property’s rate liability only occurs when there are large movements either in the value of a property category (e.g. residential, office, shops, industrial) or the value of certain locations, which are outside the general movements in value across all categories or locations.

  • Reform of the Psychiatric Disability Rehabilitation and Support Services Program
    Mental Health Community Support Services June 2014 Fact Sheet 2: Information for Existing Clients Fact Sheet: Information for Existing Clients This fact sheet provides information for current clients of mental health community support services provided under the Victorian Psychiatric Disability Rehabilitation and Support Services (PDRSS) program. It includes information about the changes that will happen to these services over the next few months, when these changes will occur and how the changes might affect you. As part of these changes the Victorian Government will also change the name of the PDRSS program to Mental Health Community Support Services (MHCSS) program from August 2014. This change is about supporting you. The changes will ensure access to mental health community support services is fair and equitable by ensuring people most disabled by their mental health condition do not miss out on the support they need. The reforms will make it easier for new and returning consumers and carers to get help no matter where they live. This will be achieved by establishing a centralised intake point for all referrals in each local area. A fact sheet explaining how the new intake assessment system will work will be made available shortly. We also know you want services to be of a consistent quality and designed around your individual needs and preferences. This is why we are introducing Individualised Client Support Packages. They will replace standard, moderate and intensive Home Based Outreach Services, Day Programs, Care Coordination, Aged Intensive Program and Special Client Packages from 1 August 2014. Your support package will help you to develop the life skills needed to live well in the community and to manage your mental illness.
