The Annual Report is a key point of accountability between Council and its community. This report outlines progress made against the Council’s 2018-2019 commitments in the Delivery Program and Operational Plan, and describes how Council is supporting achievement of the Community Strategic Plan. The report presents performance measure results for Council services, and summarises annual achievements across the key outcome areas. In accordance with the Local Government Act 1993 the Annual Report also includes required statutory information and provides an overview of the Councils financial position. More detailed information on the financial performance of the Council during 2018-2019 can be found in the Annual Financial Statements, a companion document to this report, which will be released early in 2020. Our Aboriginal Custodians The Bega Valley Shire Council acknowledges that Aboriginal people are the original inhabitants, custodians and native titleholders of all land and water in the Shire. We recognise Aboriginal spiritual, social and cultural connections to these lands and waters and state our commitment to ensuring that Aboriginal rights, as enshrined in legislation, are upheld and not eroded. 2 Bega Valley Shire Council - Annual Report 2018-19 Contents Our community ................................ 4 Our place .......................................... 8 Mayor's message ............................ 10 Our Council ..................................... 11 General Manager's message .......... 13 Our organisation ............................ 14 Source of funds 2018-19 ................ 16 Our community vision Our year in review .......................... 16 Achieving our plan ......................... 24 By working • Active and healthy communities ..

  • Infrastructure Funding Performance Monitor
    UDIA NSW | 2020 Infrastructure Funding Performance Monitor $2.7 billion is currently held as a restricted asset by Councils for the delivery of infrastructure • The current total balance of contributions held across the Greater Sydney megaregion is $2.7 billion, with the average amount held by a Council sitting at $56 million. • Every year new housing contributes almost $900 million to local infrastructure, Executive roads, stormwater, open space and community facilities across the Greater Sydney megaregion through the infrastructure charging framework. It is expected Summary that this infrastructure is built with the funds that are paid. • However, only 64% of the contributions that are paid for were spent in the last three years. Average Total Expenditure Total Income Balance E/I ($’000) ($’000) ($’000) Total 0.64 $650,679 $876,767 $2,653,316 Contributions Under a s7.11 0.85 $564,670 $711,912 $2,330,289 or s7.12 Under a s7.4 0.62 $41,640 $124,180 $259,501 The amount of unspent funding has increased over the past three years • Since FY16 total unspent contributions have increased 33% from $1.98 billion to over $2.65 billion. Executive • In the last year alone unspent contributions increased by 7.8%, or almost $191 million. Summary • Local Government must resolve local issues to ensure that infrastructure is actually provided on the ground. If necessary, the State Government should step-in to support Councils get infrastructure on the ground. Increased funding does not correlate to increased infrastructure delivery • The scatter graphs here show an extremely weak relationship between cash held and expenditure ratios.

  • City of Canada Bay Bike Plan, East-West Bike Route
    7th December, 2020 To Whom It May Concern, RE: City of Canada Bay Bike Plan, East-west bike route Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed City of Canada Bay Bike Plan, East-west bike route. Bicycle NSW has been the peak bicycle advocacy group now in NSW for over forty-four years, and has over 30 affiliated local Bicycle User Groups. We agree with the ptc report and resident feedback that the current route via Gibbs Street and Queens Road is manifestly inadequate. Stenciling bicycles on the roadway, or on the road shoulder where cars park, will do nothing to prevent crashes or convince concerned riders to cycle. It is regrettable that Starve data was used in place of cyclist surveys. Strava is an app used by confident/ fearless riders whose focus is racing and competition. This app literally encourages riders to map the fastest travel times on particular routes, as a form of urban fitness challenge. This is not the audience Canada Bay Council is trying to encourage to ride bikes, and it is a shame that the report failed to canvas riders on the Bay Run who use the cycleway and shared user path, parents and school children. Some of the Bicycle NSW team travel through Canada bay to reach our office in Olympic Park and have direct experience of the many dangerous pinch-points along the Gibbs Street and Queens Road route, as well as better alternatives on quieter streets. We are also acutely aware of the heavy vehicles obstructing road shoulder bike lanes, and of the challenges children face trying to ride to school when crossings between footpaths are unsafe.
