The Annual Report documents the performance of the Council over the past financial year. The most important role of the Annual Report is in ensuring the Community is able to see what our financial and operational performance has been for the last financial year. It is an opportunity for us to communicate how we have performed over the last financial year against what we said we would do, in a transparent and accountable way. It is also a valuable exercise for reviewing our achievements and to check the organisation is on track for the coming year. The Annual Report focuses mainly on Council’s implementation of its Community Strategic Plan 2013+, Delivery Program and Operational Plan. The Annual Report also includes a range of statutory information Council is required to report on under the Local Government Act and Regulation. This information assists the community’s understanding of Council’s performance as a business entity and community leader. Upper Hunter Shire Council • Annual Report 2015 - 2016 3 PART 1 - Introduction and Overview of Council Message from the Mayor It is my privilege to present the Upper Hunter Shire Council Annual Report for 2015/2016. Council has had another busy year undertaking $16 million in capital projects, including $11 million on major projects. The Upper Hunter Shire Council is responsible for a large geographic area, maintaining a region of around 8,100 square kilometres including roads, bridges, parks, footpaths, water and sewage services. Along with infrastructure services, Council provides a vast range of community services, such as youth and children’s services, aged care services, libraries and sporting programs. Council also has a role in economic development, managing Scone and Upper Hunter Airport, Scone Saleyards, Visitor Information Centres and tourism promotion. Council was deemed “Fit for the Future”, demonstrating it can meet all State Government Indicators for financial stability. There were no boundary changes proposed as Council demonstrated how we would improve services and facilities over the next 5 years. As the final year of the previous Council term has ended, I would like to thank my fellow Councillors for their commitment in serving the residents of the Upper Hunter Shire. Council’s End of Term Report 2012-2016 which is included in this Report looks at the broad scope of achievement, providing a summary of the many highlights during this Council term. I would also like to thank Councils Senior Management and Staff whose hard work is demonstrated within this Report. I look forward to our even greater achievements in the future. I extend Council’s sincere appreciation to the many community members who are assisting Council in working towards the shared vision for the Shire of a quality rural lifestyle in a vibrant, caring and sustainable community. I would also like to welcome the new Councillors for the next 4 year term and look forward to working with them. A high priority for the first 9 months, is the development of the Community Strategic Plan (CSP) 2027. The Community Strategic Plan is a shared vision of what the Upper Hunter Shire Community values and aspires to for the next 10 years. The engagement of the Community is critical to help frame the conversation and to identify what issues need to be explored.

  • Local Plumbing Regulators in NSW On-Site Plumbing and Drainage Compliance and Inspections
    Local plumbing regulators in NSW On-site plumbing and drainage compliance and inspections This document outlines who performs the functions of the plumbing regulator in NSW. Under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2011 NSW Fair Trading is the plumbing regulator in New South Wales. The Plumbing Code of Australia is the technical standard for compliance throughout NSW. It is the responsibility of the plumbing regulator in each area to set requirements for inspections of on-site plumbing and drainage. Fair Trading’s area of operation includes all areas in which properties are provided with services (either drinking water, recycled water or a sewerage service) by Sydney Water Corporation or Hunter Water Corporation. This area of operation stretches from Gerringong in the south (the Illawarra), to Newcastle, Port Stephens and Dungog in the north (the Hunter), and west to Mount Victoria (Blue Mountains). The function of the plumbing regulator has been delegated by Fair Trading to local councils, county councils, or other qualified bodies. The delegation of the function has been accepted by local and county councils across NSW, with a small number of exceptions where the council declined the delegation. Below are two tables identifying the local authority for plumbing regulator functions, including conducting inspections, throughout NSW by local government area. Please Note: Onsite plumbing and drainage work does not include stormwater, fire suppression; work on network utility assets or roof plumbing. If you are a plumber or drainer in regional
