It has been advised that Councils will receive notice of the gazettal of the SEPP in order to put information on the 149 certificates. It is understood that there will not be a vulnerability layer on the map within the SEPP – this will revert to individual councils mapping in existing LEP/DCP. It was noted that the Coastal Council has been appointed and will be announced shortly. SCCG will be hosting a workshop with OEH, DPE, Kirsten Geraty (Solicitor) etc for member councils including what councils are required to do under reforms/CMP, and what SCCG can do to support member council needs.

PROJECTS AND INITIATIVES REPORT Bayside • 230k grant put forward by Orica for infrastructure works at two reserves. • Structure has been finalised with directors, managers and coordinators appointed Council across the board. • The section of Lady Robinson’s Beach between Solander Street and President Avenue Monterey has dropped approximately 1m since December 2016 and is now eating into the Cook Park embankment exposing large boulders and rubble. Council’s City Infrastructure department will write to the Minister for Roads and Maritime Services advising of this problem and seeking their urgent action, as Council signed an Agreement in 2001 with the then Waterways Authority requiring Council to undertake minor beach maintenance works, with major beach nourishment and rock groyne repairs to be the responsibility of the then Waterways Authority (now RMS). • Council has a $75,000 grant from the Office of Environment & Heritage under the 2017 Coastal Management Program (Total Cost - $300,000) to undertake the restoration of a 700m long x 5m wide section of Cook Park between Bestic Street and Bruce Street Brighton.

  • 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.

  • Communication Licence Rent
    Communication licences Fact sheet Communication licence rent In November 2018, the NSW Premier had the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) undertake a review of Rental arrangements for communication towers on Crown land. In November 2019, IPART released its final report to the NSW Government. To provide certainty to tenure holders while the government considers the report, implementation of any changes to the current fee structure will apply from the next renewal or review on or after 1 July 2021. In the interim, all communication tenures on Crown land will be managed under the 2013 IPART fee schedule, or respective existing licence conditions, adjusted by the consumer price index where applicable. In July 2014, the NSW Government adopted all 23 recommendations of the IPART 2013 report, including a rental fee schedule. Visit www.ipart.nsw.gov.au to see the IPART 2013 report. Density classification and rent calculation The annual rent for communication facilities located on a standard site depends on the type of occupation and the location of the facilities. In line with the IPART 2013 report recommendations, NSW is divided into four density classifications, and these determine the annual rent for each site. Table 1 defines these classifications. Annexure A further details the affected local government areas and urban centres and localities (UCLs) of the classifications. Figure 1 shows the location of the classifications. A primary user of a site who owns and maintains the communication infrastructure will incur the rent figures in Table 2. A co-user of a site will be charged rent of 50% that of a primary user.
