5. REPORTS05.01 INFRASTRUCTURE ASSET MANAGEMENT PLANFile No: Governance/Meetings/Works CommitteeAuthor: Lynette Safranek, Acting General Manager; Chris Schumacher, Works & Engineering Director

SummaryOberon Council is responsible for an infrastructure asset portfolio comprising roads, footpaths,bridges, sewer network, water supply network, stormwater drainage, buildings and open spacesthat have a total replacement value $266,751,000. This Infrastructure Asset Management Plan(IAMP) documents the management, financial, engineering and technical practices to ensure thatthe level of service required by the community from the infrastructure assets is provided at thelowest long term costs.

Recommendation:

That Council receive the draft Infrastructure Asset Management Plan for information.

CommentA copy of the Infrastructure Asset Management Plan is ATTACHED.

This asset management plan is prepared in accordance with the International InfrastructureManagement Manual. It is prepared to meet minimum legislative and organisational requirementsfor sustainable service delivery and long term financial planning and reporting and is an update ofthe plan adopted in 2012.

In the interval since 2012 Council commenced using alternate asset classification and assessmentmethodologies, notably the NAMS Plus asset module. Although it provided appropriate evidenceshowing that Council took due diligence in improving it asset infrastructure backlog, in hindsightCouncil erred in its attempts to formulate a long term Asset Management Plan using the NAMSPlus system and has now returned to the earlier processes.

During 2016 a revaluation was conducted on Council’s assets resulting in an updated total assetreplacement value of $264.1 million. Compared to $120.9 million in 2012, the increase is primarilydue to the inclusion of new asset classes that were not previously included. The 2016 revaluationhas identified a total backlog of all asset classes of $16.6m which represents only 4.39% of the$264.1m total replacement value. Whilst our backlog appears to have increased, using TCorpfigures from 2012 and current 2016 data it can be seen that Council’s backlog has substantiallyreduced from 13.3% to 6.03% in roads and bridge infrastructure assets.

A key measure in understanding where an asset is in its life-cycle is its condition. Council is usinga measurement scheme that is based industry good practice where a score of 1 indicates that anasset is in Very Good condition and a score of 5 indicates Very Poor condition. The full range ofdescriptors is set out in the body of this IAMP.

The results from the most recent condition assessment survey of each class of Council’sinfrastructure assets are shown from Figure 5 through to Figure 17 in the body of this IAMP. Forthe most part, Council’s infrastructure assets are in the condition range of Fair to Very Good. Oncean asset has deteriorated into Poor or Very Poor condition, it is necessary to renew it if it is tocontinue to provide the service desired of it.


12 | P a g e

While it should be expected that there will always be assets requiring renewal in an infrastructureasset portfolio of the size that Council manages, the overall asset condition was of concern for bothCouncil’s sealed road network and the state-owned regional road network that Council managesunder a block grant arrangement.

The IAMP document will be placed on public exhibit for community feedback when the Operationand Delivery Plans are placed on exhibition on 18 May 2017.

05.02 BITUMEN SEALING OF CARLWOOD ROAD / ISABELLA ROADFile No: Governance/Meetings/Works CommitteeAuthor; Prasanna Kariyawasam Acting Works Manager, Chris Schumacher, Works & Engineering Director

SummaryThe following report outlines the forecast capital cost to bitumen seal 500m of Carlwood Road &Seal 1.0 km of Isabella Road, as requested by Notice of Motion Clr. McCarthy Ordinary Meeting ofCouncil 12 April.

Recommendation:

That Item 05.03 be received as information for Council consideration.

Comment

Further to the works recently completed on both the Carlwood and Isabella Roads the followingestimates of cost for bitumen seal have been prepared for Council consideration. Carlwood Roadhas had some pavement widening work and some culvert work undertaken as a part of the LIRSImprovement Program.

Similarly, some gravel re-sheeting work and drainage culvert extension work has been completedon the Isabella Road.

Subject to this work being undertaken, it has been suggested that these roads may be in a suitablecondition for sealing following some minor preparation work.

It has been established that a two coat bitumen seal by Councils Contracts SRS will cost$10.00/m2. On top some additional minor preparation work is expected to include shapecorrection, compaction and minor table drain work/mitre drain work.

It is expected that minor preparation work and including the bitumen seal, in general is estimated tocost up to $15.00/m2. Taking the average unit cost of about $15.00/m2, both Roads combinedhave been estimated to cost up to $140,000 for a 6.0 m wide seal.

For any future similar proposals, a unit rate of $15.00/m2 is considered to be a reasonable figurefor estimation purposes for minor preparation inclusive of 2-coat bitumen seal.

This option of sealing on the existing surface following LIRS Program work, is not expected to beavailable to be completed on all roads subject to the quality of the gravel source.

It is noted that the ideal conditions for successful bitumen sealing following pavement preparationwork should ideally be undertaken between the warmer months of October through to March. Thisis best practice ensuring both warmer ground conditions and air temperature for emulsionadhesion purposes.

Should Council wish to proceed with the bitumen sealing of these roads this financial year, fundingwould need to be sought from reserves.

In terms of importance of priority Council may also wish to consider its position with respect tobitumen sealing works associated with the likes of Tilsbury Lane, Gingkin Road, SpringmountRoad and/or Bosworth Falls Road.

05.03 DEVELOPER SERVICING PLANS WATER & SEWERAGEFile No: Governance/Meetings/Works CommitteeAuthor: Chris Schumacher, Works & Engineering Director

SummaryThis report outlines the proposed financial implications for developers regarding the Water &Sewerage ‘Developer Servicing Plans’, in order for Councils water and sewerage fund to remainfinancially sustainable into the future.

Recommendation:

That Item 05.03 be received as information.

Comment

Subsequent to the development of new Developer Servicing Plan charges in accordance withSection 64 of the Local Government Act, the below sets out the calculated charges asrecommended.

For some considerable time Oberon Councils current DSP charges have not been reviewed andconsequently to the detriment of the water and sewer area creating an unsustainable loss ofrevenue in this area. The water and sewer fund cannot be supported by the general fund and mustrun independently of other Council funding sources remaining viable and sustainable as astandalone service of Council.

The new charges proposed have been calculated on both projected growth rates for Oberon andthe Capital works associated with the long-term financial modelling plan to ensure both water andsewerage operations remain sustainable into the future.

Currently the charges as set out in the below table illustrate the existing charges and the proposednew DSP charges.

Service DSP Area Developer Charge2016/2017 per ET

Proposed DSP DeveloperCharge 2017/2018 per ET

Water Supply Oberon Township $1,400 $2,604Sewerage Supply Oberon Township $1,770 $10,688

Further information as to how these charges have been arrived at, can be obtained from the newproposed Developer Servicing Plan document and Financial Plan provided at the 18 April 2017Ordinary Meeting. It is anticipated that the new charges will take effect from 1 July 2017, and berepresented within the 2017/2018 Fee’s and Charges per allotment for all new development withinthe immediate township of Oberon, as outlined within the DSP document.

05.05 COUNCIL CHAMBERS AND COMMITTEE ROOM REFURNISHMENTFile No: Governance/Meetings/Works CommitteeAuthor: John Morgan, Councillor

SummaryFollowing the announcement by the Minister for Local Government, Hon. Gabrielle Upton, that theproposed merger of Oberon Council and Bathurst Regional Council would not proceed, anopportunity exists to celebrate our independence by refurbishing the Mayor’s Office and CommitteeRoom to signal the renaissance of our 110 year old Council.

Recommendation:

That:

1. Council allocate sufficient funds to sound proof and refurnish the Mayor’s Office and theCouncil Committee Room, therefore providing a facility suited to confidential businessdiscussion in an environment that reflects the prosperity of our Local Government Area.

2. Sound proofing the Council Chamber from street noise should be considered.3. Funding up to $50,000 to be sourced from the sale of Hathaway Cottage to enable the

refurbishment.

Comment

The austere nature and current appearance of the Mayor’s office does not reflect well whenwelcoming visitors and promoting the prosperity of our Local Government Area to potentialinvestors.

The Council Administration Office in general is the face of the Oberon Council and should reflectthe history, standard and purpose of those working within it.

This refurbishment will serve to remind future elected representatives, of the tremendous anddedicated commitment shown by our current Mayor, Councillors, Council’s Executive Staff andStaff.

05.06 BLENHEIM AVENUE SUBDIVISION – ELECTRICITY CONNECTIONFile No: Governance/Meetings/Works CommitteeAuthor: Gary Wallace, General Manager

SummaryTo advise Council of the current consent conditions and notification of arrangement informationthat has been supplied to Council as a result of an approved 6 lot subdivision in Blenheim Avenue,Oberon.

Recommendation:

That1. Council note the information in the report2. Council facilitate a meeting with the relevant power authority to seek an appropriate

resolution to this matter

CommentA copy of the Development Consent and Notification Letter of Arrangement letter concerning thesubdivision FOLLOWS this report.

At Councils Ordinary April meeting a request for information was sort from the public in relation toan application for subdivision in Blenheim Avenue.

The request pertained to the provision of electricity for each of the six allotments within thesubdivision.As a result of the request a desk top analysis has been undertaken in regard to how thesubdivision certificate for the subdivision was executed by Council.

Development Application 10.2013.42.1 was lodged with Council on 8 July 2013. The applicationwas determined (by way of approval, subject to conditions) on 3 September 2013. The applicationto release the subdivision was lodged on 4 December 2014, and released on 2 June 2015 after allconditions were met.

Condition 8 of the approval related to electricity and indicated:

The applicant shall provide, to the satisfaction of Council, evidence that adequate electricity supplyis available to each lot in the development. This requires the submission of a certificate fromCountry Energy, or another energy provider, stating that underground supply is available to eachlot in the development, or that arrangements have been made with Country Energy, or anotherenergy provider, that underground supply is available and connected to each lot in thedevelopment in accordance with Country Energy Capital Contributions Guidelines. Certification ofsupply or suitable arrangements is to be provided to the satisfaction of Council prior to or with theapplication for the certification by Council of the subdivision or any stage thereof. Whereunderground services are to be provided, no poles except in accordance with the energy provider’sregulations and requirements are to be provided. If Council or the energy provider require theprovision of street lighting, similar certification as to availability and or suitable arrangements inaccordance with the energy providers regulations and requirements needs to be provided to thesatisfaction of Council prior to or with the application for the certification by Council of thesubdivision or any stage thereof. Should alternative energy supplies be considered, then, relevantsupport information as to suitability and efficiency will be required.


20 | P a g e

As part of the applicants obligations a letter from the power authority (Essential Energy) confirmedthat electricity supply is available from Blenheim Avenue, for the six lot subdivision. Thisconfirmation FOLLOWS this report.

It is with the submission of this letter that the applicant was able to supply evidence that adequateelectricity supply was available to each lot within the subdivision.

It should be noted that Council recognised the issue with this standard condition and resolved toamend the need for services to be provided to each residential allotment, by appropriate means ina Notice of Motion submitted by Councillor McCarthy in November of 2016. The Notice indicatedCouncil consider the following:

That Oberon Council change clause B.12.8 Electricity Supply of its Urban Area Policy to requirestandard electricity be connected to each allotment.

The resolution to that Notice of Motion resolved:

That Oberon Council requires electricity supply to be connected to each lot within all residentialzoned subdivision applications by underground means.

This condition of consent now replaces the former condition that applied to the Blenheim Avenuesubdivision.

It is considered that the condition of consent implemented as part of the subdivision application hasbeen met by the applicant. However, given the change in Councils position in relation therequirement for electricity, Council is in a position to advocate for the owners (given the informationsupplied by the power authority of the day) to assist in facilitating an appropriate outcome to thismatter.
