  • 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.
