ITEM NUMBER 4.1 TITLE MacDonnell Council Code of Conduct RECOMMENDATION

That the Docker River Local Authority note the Council Code of Conduct.

SUMMARY: This report contains all of the details about the MacDonnell Council Code of Conduct BACKGROUND MacDonnell Regional Council Code of Conduct

1 Interests of the Council and Community come first

A member must act in the best interests of the community, its outstations and the Council.

2 Honesty A member must be honest and act the right way (with integrity) when performing official duties.

3 Taking care A member must be careful to make good decisions (diligence), and must not be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, when performing official duties.

4 Politeness/Courtesy A member must be polite to other members, council staff, electors and members of the public.

5 Conduct towards council staff A member must not direct, reprimand, or interfere in the management of council staff.

6 Respect for culture A member must respect different cultures, families and language groups (cultural diversity) and not be unfair towards others, or the opinions of others, because of their background.

7 Conflict of interest A member must, if possible, avoid conflict of interest between the member's private interests (other job, business etc.) and duties. Where a conflict exists, the member must inform the Council or Local Authority and not take part in the discussion or vote

8 Respect for private business

A member must not share private (confidential) information that they heard as a member outside of meetings. A member must not make improper use of confidential information to gain a benefit or to cause harm to another.

ISSUES/OPTIONS/CONSEQUENCES A Code of Conduct helps Councils remain strong and focussed, and ensures all Councillors, staff and Local Authority Members are following the same rules. When Councils do not have a strong Code of Conduct they leave themselves open to negative external influences (such as pressure from certain groups or individuals) and do not appear to be serving the best needs of their residents.

DEPUTATIONS / GUEST SPEAKERS 7.1 DAVID KERRIN - COMMUNITY CHAMPION DEVELOPMENT AND LIAISON

OFFICER David Kerrin introduced himself and explained his program. The community champion is Tony Mayell from the Department of Tourism. The Community Champions program is all about job creation, employment and new businesses in the community. They also can work with MRC to work on grant applications. Want to install a wifi hotspot in the community. It will be free wifi for the community for a couple of years. David is currently identifying a place to install the wifi and seeing if there is support from the community for the project. They can also do work to help contractors with employing local people and having local people involved in contracts. The other project idea they had is repairing the campground. The Local Authority thinks that repairing the campground is a good idea. They would like shade structures put in and showers /toilets and change rooms. 7.2 DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING:

- 10 -

PATRICIA CROWE- TENANCY CONTRACT OFFICER Gene Martin introduced himself to the Local Authority and mentioned that he would like to get the Housing Reference Group formed again and that Housing is trying to make urban and remote policies the same. Housing would like to make a Housing Reference Group, could people nominate and once we have enough we will form a committee. They are looking for 8 people, then 5 would be a quorum. There’s a community house that has been damaged by horses. The Local Authority asked about fencing – they have 4 months to do the fencing and still have 16 to do – this was a Council issue not a housing issue. 7.3 KEVIN TILMOUTH -FIRST CIRCLES ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM Kevin runs the first circles program for people in remote communities. At the moment they have 15 members in the southern region and 15 in the north. The southern region is south of Elliot. There’s no age or language restriction but have to meet about 6 times per year. Kevin let the Local Authority know that members can nominate at any time of the year. Kevin is happy to talk to people over the phone if they need help filling out their forms. Members get access to Cabinet meetings and important people and so it is very good for their community. 7.4 TEAGAN ROWLES-NPYWC YOUTH TEAM DOCKER RIVER

"YOUNG PEOPLE BEING INVOLVED IN SPORTS" Teagan did not attend – there was a miscommunication about whether she would attend or not. 7.5 KATE POVEY - DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS Kate explained the different kinds of programs that the department of correctional services offers to people who have been asked to do community work to give back to the community. The local authority said that they think the program is good and they would prefer that the people are able to work in their community. Graham mentioned that Macdonnell Regional Council is very supportive of the program and tries to take as many people as they can. COUNCIL LOCAL GOVERNMENT 8.1 SWOT AND REGIONAL PLANNING Helen asked the Local Authority to go through some of their community strengths and weaknesses. She then also discussed what could be good opportunities the community could take advantage of, or what are some bad things that might happen to the community.

The main issue that came out of the discussion was about young people and conflict in the community. Strengths: Keeping the community tidy - Council staff working hard and community members tidying up their yards Younger kids are going to school and some kids going to college Young kids learning to cook Community is strong – sharing stories and learning culture, making music for ceremonies Going on bush trips Weaknesses: Young people sometimes fighting, breaking into places When the young people fight sometimes the adults end up getting involved Speeding Driving without licences Gambling instead of doing after school activities Opportunities: Having a community champion will be good – getting the wifi and campground fixed up Training for young people to be future Councillors and get good jobs Taking young people along on bush trips Threats: Traffic accidents, young people getting hurt Young people following the wrong road (making bad decisions) Conflicts need to be shut down What next? The community needs to have community meetings (non-Council), need to keep the community tidy, work with Night Patrol to help keep community safe, create a music studio and other activities for young people, fixing the road to the outstation It was discussed that the Council staff will go away and think about these issues and the Local Authority will do the same and then at the next meeting we can discuss what projects they would like to do to help this. 8.2 COMMUNITY SERVICES REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This report provides an update on Community Services program delivery. 4 RESOLVED (Marlene Abbott/Winsome Newberry) (a) That the Local Authority note and accept the Community Services report. 8.3 COMPLAINTS RECEIVED EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This report provides an update to the Local Authority about complaints received regarding Council Service Delivery.

The Local Authority mentioned that they would like the new playground to have lights. Graham and John mentioned that they have $4000 left from the playground and if the Local Authority would like they can use that funding to purchase very bright solar lighting that will work well. They can discuss this when they talk about the Local Authority projects.

ITEM NUMBER 8.5 TITLE Community Service Local Authority Report REFERENCE \5 - GOVERNANCE ADMINISTRATION\03 - LOCAL


AUTHOR Rohan Marks, Director Community Services EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This report provides an update on Community Services program delivery. RECOMMENDATION (a) That the Local Authority note and accept the Community Services report. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION CHILDREN’S SERVICES Staffing

Recruitment is currently being finalised for Casual and Part Time Educator positions. Team Leader, Jessica Toll who has been on maternity leave, has now resigned. The Children’s Services team would like to acknowledge the great work that Sheryth

and Sally have been doing to support children families while Jess has been on maternity leave.

Program Delivery

All Children Service programs were delivered this reporting period. The team have run reduced programs on for children with assistance from mums when staffing was low.

Following discussion with the educators, the hours of operation have been changed from 8-1 to 9-2 to better meet the needs of the community – in particular the school had identified an issue with young children entering the classrooms.

Average No of Children

An average of 8 children attended the Early Learning program each day. Training

Educators have been attending Cert III Earl Childhood Education through Batchelor College in Alice Springs. Educators are enrolled in separate groups so that there are not required to attend training at the same time, and that services can continue to be delivered.

Other successful partnerships and strategic matters of importance

Educators are working closely with NPY’s Intensive Family Support Officer to ensure the children of families in crisis have a safe place to be, where they are cared for and supported.

The Early Learning Program is working with the Docker River School, providing school students undertaking a Cert I Children’s Services to undertake work experience at the Early Learning Centre.


- 27 -

MRC will be implementing fees across all Children’s Services programs from 1 July 2016. This is a requirement of the Department of Education who fund most of the Early Learning Programs in MRC communities, and is supported by Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet who fund the Docker River Early Learning Program. MRC has worked hard to ensure these fees are kept as low as possible. The fee will be $25 per week per child.

Staff will be working closely with families to ensure these fees to not become a barrier to children accessing this very important service.

COMMUNITY SAFETY Staffing

All positions are filled. Recruitment has been completed and 2 new staff members have joined the team.

Service Disruption

there were service disruptions due to staff absenteeism; these have been addressed with the team.

No of People assisted

Docker River Night Patrol assisted 122 people this reporting period; o 77 Men and 45 Women were assisted o 33 School Aged Children returned to family o 12 school aged children refused Night Patrol transport.

Training Certificate III in Community Night Patrol is scheduled to commence in July/August.

Other Patrol Updates of relevance:

The resident N.T. Police officer at Warakurna, W.A. is very supportive of the Night Patrol team in Docker River. He travels to the community daily and is in regular contact with the Night Patrol team.
