Local Government Act 1993: Section 23A Guidelines - Council Decision Making During Merger Proposal Period. The Guidelines have been considered in the preparation of this report and are not applicable. RECOMMENDATION: 1. THAT the report on May Gibbs’ Nutcote be received. 2. THAT the report be taken into consideration in the Community Grants and Subsidies Report for 2017/18. Report of Martin Ellis, Director, Community and Library Services Re: May Gibbs’ Nutcote – Review of the Joint Plan of Management (2) LINK TO DELIVERY PROGRAM The relationship with the Delivery Program is as follows: Direction: 4. Our Social Vitality Outcome: 4.3 Enhanced arts and cultural programs and facilities 4.8 Enhanced community facilities, information and services BACKGROUND Community Centre Management Plans are renewed generally once every three years, and reported on annually to Council. They are needed for and form part of the schedules for the leases Council has with Community Centre entities. It is not always possible to meet this cycle precisely as the Plans, if they are to be robust, will include an up to date Strategic Plan, created by the Centres following wide consultation. This is not always possible given the limited resources of the volunteer boards and the pressure arising naturally from the day to day operations of the Centres. CONSULTATION REQUIREMENTS Community engagement will be undertaken in accordance with Council’s Community Engagement Protocol. SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT The sustainability implications were considered and reported on during the initiation phase of this project. DETAIL The Centre’s report covers 18 months following a decision to move to financial year accounting. There was in excess of 6,000 visitors to Nutcote for the period, which included closure for several months from March 2016 for urgent repairs. Highlights of the period included a fund raiser at Macquarie Bank which allowed the Centre to install air-conditioning in the tea room, a visit from Nutcote’s patron the Governor of NSW General David Hurley and his wife Mrs Hurley, a special exhibition “Gumnut goes to War”, and Council’s provision of $200,000 towards repairs of this heritage item. The Nutcote office and records were reorganised during the closure which has helped significantly in several governance issues in recent months. Volunteers (on the Board, in the garden, in the gift shop, the tea room and the office) continue to be a major factor in Nutcote’s success. Following a deficit in 2014 the Centre posted another deficit for the 18 months (Jan 2015- June 2016) of $15,781. This was not an operational deficit as depreciation was $14,581, and is in line with previous years.

  • Joint Strategic Plan Review 2019/20 for Nutcote
    8.13. Joint Strategic Plan Review 2019/20 for Nutcote AUTHOR: Rebecca Aukim, A/Director Community & Library Services ATTACHMENTS: Review of Joint Strategic Plan; Nutcote’s Annual Report 2019/20; Nutcote’s AGM Minutes 2019/20; Letter from Nutcote Board January 2021 PURPOSE: To report on Nutcote’s 2019/20 Review of the Joint Strategic Plan with Council and to consider the Trust’s request that the lease for Nutcote (5 Wallaringa Avenue) be renewed under the same terms and conditions. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: May Gibb’s Nutcote house museum, outbuildings and grounds were purchased by Council in 1990 and have been managed by The Nutcote Trust since 1993. The strategic direction of the organisation is through a Volunteer Board with operational matters delivered by the museum’s manager/curator, weekend casuals and volunteer guides, gardeners and tea shop and gift shop staff. Each financial year Nutcote completes a Joint Strategic Plan review and provides Council their annual report. Over the past four years (pre-COVID-19) the average number of visitors to Nutcote annually has been 7,000. Before COVID-19, Nutcote staff had developed an education program which encouraged special interest groups to visit Nutcote. These included garden talks for garden groups and architecture talks for architecture students as well as coffee mornings. These offerings proved very successful. With the arrival of COVID-19, many bookings had to be cancelled and deposits refunded. During COVID-19 Nutcote staff developed an online shop and worked on ways to continue to engage people via social media. Nutcote was able to reopen in early June.

  • Nsn Summer | 2007 North Sydney Given Sound Bill of Health
    northsydneynews |nsn summer | 2007 North Sydney given sound bill of health North Sydney Council has been given a sound sustainability rating by asset management consultants Jeff Roorda & Associates. Mr Roorda told Council that its sustainability ratio of .7 was the highest of any council the company had assessed to date. The company was commissioned by council to assess the sustainability of North Sydney’s infrastructure and develop an asset management plan. The ratio assigned to assets was a measure of the average amount council spends on assets divided by the amount that should be spent for optimal maintenance. As well as giving us an overall rating, the plan rates individual asset categories. Regional roads (ratio of 1.28), footpaths (1.09), bus shelters (.85) street signs (.81) and local roads (.79) have acceptable ratings, while seawalls (.65) and drainage (.62) have been identified as priorities and have received additional funding from this year’s infrastructure levy funds (see page 11). Council’s overall financial position was also assessed as sound by Auditors Spencer Steer and Associates. The operating result for the year was a surplus of $7.138 million. General Manager Penny Holloway said she was pleased but not surprised by the good bill of health. “North Sydney is debt free, we operate on a small surplus each year and have $48 million invested. This achievement is particularly impressive when you consider that North Sydney continues to have the lowest average rates in Sydney and a high level of customer satisfaction with our services.” Other key financial results for the 2006/2007 financial year included: • a total amount of $3.194 million worth of unrestricted cash and investments, which is available for day-to-day operations • developer contributions increased substantially compared to the previous financial year • user charges and fees, as well as investment interest, provided additional revenue.

    ITEM 26 REPORTS 25/11/19 NORTH SYDNEY COUNCIL REPORTS Report to General Manager Attachments: 1. Review Matrix 2. May Gibbs’ Nutcote Annual Report 2018-19 SUBJECT: May Gibbs’ Nutcote 2018/19 Review of the Joint Strategic Plan AUTHOR: Martin Ellis, Director, Community and Library Services EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The May Gibb’s Nutcote Annual Report 2018/19 is presented here in fulfillment of the Joint Strategic Plan 2017-19. The Museum has one full time staff member, guided by a Volunteer Board and supported by some casual hours and many volunteers from all over Sydney. The Museum is open to the public Wednesdays to Sundays; the café is open when the availability of volunteers allows. Attendance for the year at the Museum was 9,192, an increase of 55% over the previous year. For the first time in many years Nutcote made a small operating profit of $21,342, gained largely from increased donations, retail sales and admission fees, possibly driven by public interest in visiting Nutcote arising from the 100-year Anniversary of the publication of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, in the view of the Treasurer. The successes of 2018/19 can be attributed to the volunteers, including Board members Jo-Anne Avellano Treasurer, Johanna Bagot Acting Treasurer, Stephanie Lake, Fiona Reilly, Claire Morecombe and incoming Chair Hulya Yilmaz. New directors MacLaren North and Susan Kennedy were warmly welcomed at the 2019 AGM. Stephanie Lake is also Curator. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Council’s grant to Nutcote in 2018/9 was $39,000, made up of a contribution to operational matters ($30,000) and the balance a 50% contribution to insurance costs.
