10 RESPONSES TO COUNCILLORS QUESTIONS

10.1 CR ANTHONY CIRILLO - ILLEGAL TREE LOPPING - TURNAROUND TIMES FOR MAINTENANCE REQUESTS TO BE ACTIONED

Record Number: 14/02/13

“Following a press release that we put out as Council, and which I approved as it is my portfolio, I received a little bit of criticism from a number of rate payers, in regards to the illegal tree lopping that has been happening around Mildura. The main complaint was that the time they had to wait for us as Council to act on their request was too long and a lot of them took matters into their own hands. Can we quantify the time taken to turn a request into an action with regards to tree maintenance on nature strips?”

This matter was addressed by Mike Mooney, Acting General Manager Development in a memorandum provided to Councillors dated 9 August 2018.

Parks and Gardens typically receive between 6,500 and 7,000 requests for service via Council’s customer request system each year. In the 2017/18 financial year the Tree Maintenance team received 2,801 requests for service directly related to the management of our tree assets. In this context customer responsiveness within allocated timeframes is an important aspect of how we deliver this service.

In the 2017/18 financial year the breakdown of request types is as follows:

Request Type Total Received Responded to with allocated timeframes

Compliance with request timeframes

Inspection 82 64 78%

Planting 395 375 95%

Pruning 2,310 2,119 92%

Root Damage 14 12 86%

Total 2,801 2,570 92%

The obvious target is to respond to customer requests 100% of the time however the sheer number of requests and significant events such as last November’s storm event can affect our ability to respond.

We continue to encourage our customers to contact Council if there are concerns with trees on any nature strips. Some customers do not always agree with the assessment that our staff make and from time to time take their own action. Unfortunately we have seen many cases where trees have been deliberately damaged, poisoned or removed which adversely effects the aesthetic value and amenity in our residential streets.

In response the time taken for tree maintenances requests it is important to understand that when a request is raised there are a number of tasks that follow. For example, a request to trim a tree along a nature strip is a two stage process.

Stage 1 is the site investigation where our tree crew assess the problem, make a determination on the course of action and respond to the customer. This has a process timeframe of 10 days.

Stage 2 is the task to complete the works, if required, which has a process timeframe of 20 days.


In this instance the total allowable timeframe from the generation of the request to completing the works is 30 working days.

14.2 GAMBLING REFORM

File Number: 17/04/13 Officer: Chief Executive Officer

1. Summary

Following the resolution to lay this item on the table at the July Ordinary Meeting of Council, this matter is now represented for consideration. The increasing number and concentration of electronic gaming machines (EGMs) in Victoria’s most socio-economically disadvantages communities are of particular concern to many councils. The current regulatory framework for gambling provides little protection to Victorian communities that can least afford to lose. This report outlines some of those impacts and seeks Councils consideration of joining the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) and other local governments in supporting the Alliance for Gambling Reform – 2018 Election Policy Options.

2. Recommendation

That Council: (i) endorse the Alliance for Gambling Reform Policy Options for the 2018

Victorian State Election; and

(ii) develop a draft Gambling Harm Minimisation Discussion Paper for review at a future Council Meeting.

3. Background

Each year, over $2.5 billion is lost in pokies across Victoria. Mildura Rural City Council area had losses of over $25 million dollars through poker machines in the 2015-2016 period. Gambling, and the many harms associated with this activity, have been identified as an issue of concern to local government through the MAV State Council resolution process. Councils have called on the MAV to advocate for a number of changes and improvements to the current regulatory system.


The MAV along with 24 individual councils joined the Alliance for Gambling Reform following the Enough Pokies campaign. The Alliance and its partners have produced a range of Policy Options for State Government to consider (refer attachment one), including seeking to secure a $1 maximum bet on poker machines, a suite of complementary harm reduction measures, and increased local government and community say over the planning and licencing approval of poker machine gambling.


They have sought advice on changes to legislation that would be required. The changes being sought are simple and would be easily implemented, and include allowing the Victorian Commission for Gambling Liquor Regulation (VCGLR) and Councils enough time to properly consider and respond to applications. It would also require the applicant to meet the social and economic impact tests - instead of the council needing to prove that there will be detriment to the local community.

5. Discussion Many Councils see the harms of gambling as a public health issue which has significant impacts on individuals, families and wider communities. Gambling is a multi-faceted industry that includes lotto, ‘scratchies’, table games, racing, sports betting, electronic gaming machines (EGMs) and online gambling. However EGMs are the most dominant source of financial loss and harm from gambling in Australia. Local Government has legislative requirements to protect and promote the health and wellbeing of the community. This includes protecting communities from the risks and harms associated with gambling. The eight premises with a total of 285 EGMs in Mildura collected $25,742,618 in 2017/48. The average loss per machine was from $133,591 to a low of $24,838. The average loss per machine is $90,215. The top three venues for EGM losses are:

- Mildura Gateway Tavern at over $10milllion - Mildura Workingman’s Club at over $6.7 million and - Mildura RSL at $3.8 million.

In April 2016 the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation (VRGF) released ‘Assessing gambling related harm in Victoria’ a comprehensive report detailing the full breadth of gambling related harm experienced among the Victorian population. The Report divides gambling related harm into the following seven areas:

Financial harm

Relationship disruption

Emotional or psychological distress

Detriment to health

Cultural harm

Reduced work or study performance

Criminal activity. The Report also found that the severity of gambling related harm increases according to at-risk gambling status. Of the total burden of gabling related harm in Victoria, the majority of harm was due to low and moderate risk gambling (85%) rather than problem gambling. This is due to the greater number of low and moderate risk gamblers in the Victorian population. So, while problem gamblers experience a greater severity of harm, the gambling behaviours of low and moderate risk gamblers has a larger impact on the Victorian population.


A further Report by Livingstone C and Francis L (2014) Review of decisions of the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation: Electronic Gambling Machine Applications MAV & Monash University Melbourne found three topics which are addressed through discussion of available evidence.

Reducing maximum bets on EGMs – based on the available evidence, it appears that a reduction of maximum bets to $1 would have little effect on so-called ‘recreational’ gamblers and would have a positive effect for ‘problem’ gamblers who consistently bet at levels above $1.

Community benefits allocations by Victorian Club gambling venues – over 70% of the community benefit claims listed by clubs is allocated to operating costs of the venues themselves.

Effects of further local caps on EGM numbers on gambling harm – based on the evidence, there is a case to be made for a freeze or falling cap on EGMs in areas of disadvantage.

6. Time Frame

To be developed by 2018 State Election to be held in November.


This report relates to the Community and Council Plan in the Key Result Area: 1.3 Community Health and Wellbeing Goal to be achieved:

High levels of community health and wellbeing.


There are no impacts on ongoing Operational costs.

9. Implications

Policy The Mildura Rural City Council Community Health and Wellbeing Plan 2017-2021 is a high-level plan that sets the goals and priorities for protecting, improving and promoting health and wellbeing within the municipality. Legal/Statutory Planning and Environment Act 1987 Under the Planning and Environmental Act 1987, local government is the responsible authority for the consideration of planning applications related to the installation and use of EGMs in its municipality.


Local Government Act 1989 Under the Local Government Act 1989, councils are responsible for monitoring the long term and cumulative effects of planning decisions to ensure the best outcomes are achieved for their communities. As the closest level of government to the community, local government is in a good position to understand the effects of gambling and to limit the negative impacts of gambling on their communities. Public health and Wellbeing Act 2008 This legislation sets out the function of local government ‘to seek to protect, improve and promote public health and wellbeing within the municipal district.’ Financial The development of a Draft Discussion Paper may require some consultant resources. Environmental There are no environmental impacts for benefits. Social If Council can reduce the harm from gambling, there is a link with reducing:

Financial impact on community members

Relationship disruption

Emotional or psychological distress

Detriments to health

Cultural harm

Reduced work or study performance

Criminal activity. Economic A reduction in expenditure upon gambling should provide for increased expenditure on other quality of life areas such as healthy food, clothing and education. Some venues could see a reduction of income from EGMs, however if the venue was a socially responsible operator than they would be conscious of the (potential) harm and manage their machines as a destination venue for the enjoyment of tourists and locals alike.
