Annual Report Warrnambool City Council ANNUAL REPORT 07/08 Warrnambool ...the city by the sea Nestled at the western gateway of the rugged Great Ocean Road and surrounded by a lush hinterland and rural landscapes. Warrnambool means spectacular stretches of coastline with fantastic beaches and sparkling water, beautiful parks and gardens, long stretches of seaside walking and beach trails, visiting whales, notorious shipwrecks, unique volcanoes, great food and exhilarating sports and a thriving City Centre. Warrnambool is the largest city on the Great Ocean Road located 263km south-west of Melbourne, an easy 3 hour drive via Geelong on the Princes Highway or Hamilton Highway. Or, take the scenic route via the Great Ocean Road. This beautiful coastal City has a bustling population of more than 32,000 – that swells to more than 45,000 over the summer months. Warrnambool is among the top five fastest growing regional cities in Victoria.

Our City is experiencing unprecedented growth and is expected to be home to 50,000 people by the year 2030 and will service 120,000 people in the region. Currently our City has 31,000 people, an annual expenditure of $50 million and assets worth $368 million. In the past 5 years the amount spent on major projects in the City totals $116 million. This includes the development of The Homemaker Centre, Lady Bay Resort and Mantra Deep Blue, as well as the redevelopment of Lyndoch Warrnambool and the courthouse. In the next 5 years major projects to the value of $317 million will be developed. This will include the expansion of South West Healthcare Warrnambool Campus, Warrnambool Cheese and Butter and South West TAFE. There are currently a number of residential developments underway in the City to the value of around 43 million. These developments will result in the construction of 3,850 new homes in the next 15 years. The City is the major source of employment for its residents, as well as other areas in the South West of Victoria, most notably Moyne Shire. About 25% of Warrnambool’s workforce is employed in the wholesale and retail trade, with a further 30% employed in education, health, community and business services. Jobs in Warrnambool’s manufacturing sector are on the increase. Large investments to dairying plants in the area have resulted in overall employment gains in this sector. Tourism is also a notable employer in Warrnambool with the City attracting many people to its beaches during the warmer months. Whale spotting in winter has also been a big drawcard for tourists. Our tourism industry generates $147 million for our City annually and attracts 703,000 visitors per year to Warrnambool. Overall, employment factors will have a strong bearing on our population in 15 to 20 years in Warrnambool City. The recent development of various industries around the City such as gas production in the Otway Basin, wind farms and timber production are likely to maintain strong employment growth in Warrnambool. This is due to the fact that the City will benefit from expenditure and further growth of its services. Our City will indirectly support almost $6.1 billion worth of projects of State and National significance in coming years. These projects include Woodside Otway Gas ($800 million), Macarthur Windfarm ($800 million), Mortlake Gas Power Generation Plant ($1,000 million), Heywood Pulp Mill ($650 million), IIluka Mineral Sands ($270 million). These projects are expected to generate 4,400 construction jobs and 800 permanent positions. Warrnambool City Council continues to lead the way in innovative projects and activities. The Middle Island Maremma project, where Maremma dogs were used to protect the Little Penguin colony from fox predation, has been awarded for its innovation. Our annual Fun4Kids Festival continues to receive accolades and has won the 2007 Qantas Australian Tourism Award for Festivals and Events for the second year running. To support our community in the next four years Council will spend an estimated $245 million on a wide range of services and activities. In the next four years we will welcome new citizens from interstate and overseas, become more environmentally sustainable and work on innovative projects that have not been thought of today.

This year our 503 staff have achieved some impressive results, many of which go unnoticed by our community. In the past year our Customer Service staff had 91,020 contacts with people and more than 500,000 people used our facilities at the Warrnambool Entertainment Centre, Art Gallery, Warrnambool Stadium and Aquazone. Our library enjoyed unprecedented support in the past year with circulation of library items up by 8.3% - the largest increase in 5 years. From our Community Support division we provided 35,555 home-delivered meals and provided respite, community care and activities to almost 55,000 people. Our events, attractions and programs received State and National recognition with the Fun4Kids Festival, Flagstaff Hill and the Wealthy and Wise Communities Program all awarded throughout the year. Council continued to develop sport and recreation in our City, forming partnerships with 46 clubs who have supported participation of refugee youth in soccer, netball and basketball. We carried out $405,000 worth of upgrades to sports grounds and recreation facilities and provided $58,000 in grants to 34 local clubs and organisations throughout the year. Our staff were also kept busy maintaining our City – we looked after assets valued at $368 million, including 370km kilometres of roads and 284 buildings. We built a new main drain at Morriss Road valued at $1.7 million, upgraded Gateway Road, built new roundabouts and bus shelters and filled countless potholes and cracks in footpaths. All of this work has combined to make our City a wonderful place to live. It is a beautiful City with well-maintained facilities and outstanding services for local residents. This City could not function without the support of the wider community, and on behalf of Council I would like to thank the many thousands of volunteers who make our City a better place to live. The past year has been my last year on Council after 20 years of service. It has again been a privilege to work so closely with Council officers and the community to continue to grow our City. Thank you to my fellow Councillors and Council officers for your commitment and dedication to improving the beautiful City of Warrnambool. Cr.

    Alliance of Councils for Rail Freight Submission to the Essential Services Commission of Victoria Review of the Victorian Rail Access Regime August 2009 2 Executive Summary In this Submission, the Alliance of Councils for Rail Freight submits the following key points to the Essential Services Commission’s 2009 Review of Rail Access Charges: • The Alliance supports in principle that road and rail freight should operate within a regime that reflects the costs of providing underlying infrastructure is accepted; • Where mature and well established rail freight businesses are established across Australia, it is appropriate that predictable and rational rail access charges that transfer infrastructure costs from access providers to access seekers should operate, within an efficient regulatory framework that takes account of externalities and the social and environmental benefits associated with the use of rail freight in various contexts; • The Alliance submits the Objectives under which the Victorian Rail Access Regime has been established should be revised; and that the VRAR has not delivered the critical objective of promoting intrastate rail freight in Victoria but that instead the role of rail freight has declined during the period of regulation. The Alliance submits that while this decline reflects several factors, excessive access charges under VRAR have been one factor contributing to decline, while other factors endorsed by the regime, such as Performance Bond conditions for metropolitan access, have impeded competition; • The Alliance
