CHAIR AND DISCLOSURE OF POLITICAL DONATIONS
3A Conflict of Interest Declarations
There were no Conflict of Interest Declarations received by the Chairperson.
3B Disclosure of Political Donations and Requirements of the
Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979
The General Manager advised those present, of the legislative requirement for
Disclosure of Political Donations:
Advice to the Council Meeting
The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, Section 147 requires a person
submitting planning applications or submissions regarding a planning application, to
disclose any reportable political donation and/or gifts to any local Councillor or employee
of Council. Reportable political donations include those of, or above, $1,000.
The Disclosure Statement forms are available on Council’s website or from the
Customer Service Centre and must be lodged in accordance with the Act. The forms are
also available at the back of the Chamber during meetings.
In dealing with Development Applications, Councillors need to take into account specific
matters contained in the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979.
Accordingly, the provisions of Section 79C(1) of that Act are set out in the cover page
prior to the Agenda item, which can be used by Councillors as a reference guide of
issues to be considered.
The Local Government Act 1993, section 375A requires that a division be called
whenever a motion for a planning decision is put at a meeting of the council or a council
committee.
Planning decision means a decision made in the exercise of a function of council under
the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 including a decision relating to a
development application, an environmental planning instrument, a development control
plan or a development contribution plan under that Act, but not including the making of
an order under Division 2A of Part 6 of that Act.

Agenda - AlburyCity Council Meeting – Monday 22 February 2015 Page 7
Matters appearing in the Planning and Development Committee Meeting minutes which
require a planning decision to be made will be dealt with separately and immediately
following the motion for the adoption of the Planning and Development Committee
Meeting minutes. In respect to these matters, motions for a planning decision put before
council will be considered a division and recorded in accordance with section 375A of
the Local Government Act 1993.
There were no Disclosure Statements received by the Chairperson.
CM 4 APOLOGIES
Nil.
CM 5 MAYORAL MINUTE
5A A Tribute to Patricia Gould OAM – Cr H van de Ven
Councillors, I take this opportunity to publicly recognise and acknowledge the
outstanding service of Cr Patricia Gould OAM who announced her retirement on 4
February 2016. Cr Gould was elected to Council in 1974 and has served 42 years in
office. She was Mayor for five terms and is one of the longest serving female councillors
in Australian local government history.
In June 2004 Patricia was awarded an OAM in recognition of her service to local
government and to the community. She has also received recognition in honour of her
terms as Mayor and her significant contribution to local government with a Local
Government Association of NSW “Emeritus Mayor Award”. She is also a recipient of a
“Paul Harris Fellow”.
Her contribution to Council and the community over the past 42 years has been
enormous. She has served on a number of committees both within Council and
externally including the Albury Wodonga Cancer Foundation, the Trinity Anglican Board
and a member of the Mercy Health Services Board.
Patricia was instrumental in establishing Family Day Care in Albury and also dedicated
many years to assisting the Upper Murray Regional Library. She is also a Life Member
of three swimming clubs, the Ovens and Murray Swimming Association and three
community groups.
On a personal note it will be strange to conduct Committee meetings and Council
Meetings and workshops without Patricia’s presence in the Chamber.
On behalf of Council, I extend sincere thanks to Patricia for her outstanding service to
Council and the community and wish her well in retirement.
Cr H van de Ven Moved
That the Mayoral Minute be received and noted.

Purpose of Report
To recommend a preferred contractor for the construction of the new Youth Cafe in QEII Square
through a qualitative and quantitative assessment.
Background
The Retro Youth Cafe was previously situated in Burrows House, Dean Street within the Albury CBD
and was in operation from 2003 until its closure in 2014 as part of the Albury Regional Art Gallery
(MAMA) redevelopment. The Cafe was originally established as a direct request from young people to
develop a safe and central place to visit, access information, play music and “hang out”. The aim of
the service was to be inclusive of all young people aged 12 - 24 years without targeting any particular
group. Council’s Youth Services team aim to nurture and foster the social and cultural development of
young people through music, events, activities, workshops and youth committees, and the inclusion of
the cafe element would be an important attractor for young people and would offer an alternative and
unique cafe experience in central Albury.
As part of the Gallery development, Council committed to identifying an alternative location for the
operations of the Youth Cafe, with an extensive consultation process including community surveys
and workshops. Following an assessment of a number of options, Council has proceeded with plans
to extend the LibraryMuseum into QEII Square and build a dedicated cafe and youth space
incorporating activity and meeting rooms as well as indoor/outdoor dining and performance spaces.
The scope of the project is:
The new Youth Cafe is to be located on the existing site of the LibraryMuseum’s multi-purpose room.
The new Youth Cafe will be approximately 330m2 in floor area and has been architecturally designed
and specified in keeping with the existing LibraryMuseum and the overall Master Plan for QEII Square.
The new building includes the new Youth Cafe, an office/meeting room, two multi-purpose workshop
areas along with suitable amenities and restrooms all to be controlled by an energy efficient Building
Management System (BMS).

The construction of the new Youth Cafe includes the following trades:
mechanical;
electrical;
hydraulics;
structural steel fabrication;
cladding; and
glazing.
Tenders for the construction of the new Youth Cafe were invited and advertised in the Border Mail,
Sydney Morning Herald and on Tenderlink. Tenders closed at 12 noon on 9 February 2016.
Tender Evaluation
At the close of tenders, a total of seven submissions were received from the following companies:
Contract Control Services Pty Ltd;
Q1 Constructions Pty Ltd;
Premier Building & Construction Pty Ltd;
Southern Cross Developers Pty Ltd;
Dezign Interiors;
B J & P A Maginnity Pty Ltd, Trading as Magi-Build Building Contractors; and
Edgecorp Constructions Pty Ltd.
All tenders were evaluated in accordance with Council’s Procurement Policy and Guidelines. The
assessment panel for the tender comprised Procurement & Contract Management Coordinator –
Gerard Coyle, Senior Projects Engineer - Ian Redman and Group Leader Projects – Mauro Dei Agnoli.
Conformity Check
A conformity assessment was undertaken to ensure all submissions received were in accordance with

Items in the conformity check included:
vendor company details;
all specifications addressed;
provision of certificates of currency in various insurances including public liability, motor vehicle
and workers compensation, or the undertaking to provide same;
a completed AlburyCity Workplace Health and Safety package or provision of their own;
list of company experiences including referees;
provision of a detailed construction program;
list of proposed sub-contractors;
a schedule of rates for construction, labour and variations; and
provision of a lump sum amount in the form of a trade breakdown.
The conformity check showed not all submissions to be compliant.
Contract Control Services Pty Ltd failed to complete Schedule 2 – Trade Breakdown and did not
provide a detailed construction program. By not providing the completed Schedule 2 it is not possible
to assess their submission against the other tenderers submissions and would make assessing
variations post award very difficult. Similarly when trying to assess whether Contact Control Services
Pty Ltd has provided a program that is reflective of the proposed scope of works, it is not possible if
there is no logical sequence of activities provided in the form of a Gantt chart with milestones, float,
inclement weather allowances etc, to assess. The detailed program is required to assess the
sequential logical order to accurately represent the tenderer’s proposed method of completing the
whole of the works.
Q1 Constructions Pty Ltd also failed to provide a detailed construction program, instead choosing to
nominate the number of days the project is expected to take them to complete. For the reasons stated
above this is not acceptable. Also, in their submission Q1 Constructions Pty Ltd failed to provide the
required schedule of labour rates (Schedule 3, Page 8 of 17). This information is important when
assessing against other tender submissions and the impact variations may have on the overall
construction cost as they occur during the construction phase.
Magi-Build Building Contractors failed to provide a program with enough detail to assess the
sequential logical order to accurately represent the tenderer’s proposed method of completing the
whole of the works. The program submitted by Magi-Build Building Contractors does not clearly
indicate critical activities along a critical path showing key dates, milestone events, float, logic links
and restraints. Magi-Build Building Contractors also did not complete Schedule 4 – Subcontractors,
which provides Council with comfort that the tenderer has secured appropriate resources to undertake
the project and limits risks associated with project timeframe overruns.
Therefore all three contractors are deemed to have submitted a non-compliant tender and will not be
considered further in the tender evaluation process.

demonstrated capability to undertake the work under the contract including capacity, experience,
resources and management systems;

Premier Building & Construction Pty Ltd is a locally based company whom has undertaken a number
of similar projects including offices for Xypex Australia and Riverina Water County Council and are
currently completing a showroom for Baker Hyundai in Wodonga. In their tender submission they have
indicated a date for practical completion of 21 July 2016. Premier Building & Construction Pty Ltd has
the experience and resources to complete this project to a high standard and the obtained referee
information supports this.
Southern Cross Developers Pty Ltd is also locally based in Albury and has undertaken a number of
similar projects throughout Victoria and New South Wales. Of note, the Mitta Pub and additions of
offices and meeting rooms to Gums Cafe at Charles Sturt University in Thurgoona. In their submission
they have indicated a date for practical completion of 24 June 2016. Southern Cross Developers Pty
Ltd has the capacity to complete the project to a very high standard and the information obtained from
their referees supports this.
Dezign Interiors is also a locally based company from Albury, whom has undertaken similar projects
including refurbishment of the administration building for St Joseph’s Primary School, Beechworth and
construction of new buildings, extensions and renovations to other buildings for Lutheran Primary
School in Wagga Wagga. In their tender submission they have indicated a date for practical
completion of 21 August 2016. The standard of work produced by Dezign Interiors is of a high
standard and the obtained referee information supports this.
Edgecorp Constructions Pty Ltd is based in Wodonga and has completed projects of a similar nature.
They recently completed the renovation of Carlton Movie House including partial demolition of the

existing building and construction of retail offices and accommodation. In their tender submission they
have indicated a date for practical completion of 8 July 2016. Edgecorp Constructions Pty Ltd is large
enough to successfully complete a project of this size and the information obtained from referees
verifies this.
From the qualitative assessment it was deemed that all contractors have the necessary resources,
systems, methodology and capability to successfully complete this project.
Quantitative Assessment
The quantitative assessment considered the financial aspects of the tender and is tabulated below.

Edgecorp Constructions Pty Ltd 1,605,529.85 80
The above table indicates that three of the four conforming tenders were extremely competitive.
Premier Building & Construction Pty Ltd offered the most cost effective submission with the remaining
tenders being between 1% and 20% more expensive.
An amount of $1,141,600 (including GST) was allocated in the 2015/16 budget for the new Youth
Cafe. This amount was independently provided by a qualified quantity surveyor. In the QEII Square
Master Plan project a budget of $463K (including GST) was allocated for the 2015/16 period, of which
$216K has currently been spent. The current status of the QEII Square Master Plan Project is that
additional time is required to finalise the extent of the proposed electrical works and obtaining approval
from authorities, therefore the remaining funds will not be spent within the 2015/16 period.
Given the competiveness of the bids, it is proposed that the remaining funds of $247K in the 2015/16
budget for the QEII Square Master Plan project be re-allocated to the new Youth Cafe project enabling
this project to proceed with a revised budget of $1,388,600 (including GST).

The scoring for the qualitative and quantitative assessment is summarised in the following table:

Agenda - AlburyCity Council Meeting – Monday 22 February 2015 Page 41
The qualitative assessment indicated that all shortlisted tenderers could successfully deliver this
project, with Southern Cross Developers Pty Ltd rating the highest due largely to their submitted
construction program.
From a quantitative perspective, Premier Building & Construction Pty Ltd provided the most
competitive price, being $13,781.11 (1%) lower than Southern Cross Developers Pty Ltd and within
revised budget provisions. When considering both the qualitative and quantitative assessments,
Premier Building & Construction Pty Ltd provided the best overall tender submission and therefore are
considered the most suitable contractor for the execution of this project.
Conclusions
As a result of the Albury Regional Art Gallery (MAMA) redevelopment the Retro Youth Cafe was
closed. Council committed to identifying an alternative location for the operations of the Youth Cafe,
with an extensive consultation process including community surveys and workshops. Following an
assessment of options Council has proceeded with plans to extend the LibraryMuseum into QEII
Square and build a dedicated cafe and youth space incorporating activity and meeting rooms as well
as indoor/outdoor dining and performance spaces. Recent investigations determined an appropriate
scope of works for the project and tenders were invited in the third week of December 2015. Seven
submissions were received, of which four were deemed to be fully compliant and capable of
undertaking the project, however, only three provided a price within the revised budget provisions of
$1,388,600 (including GST).
The outcome of the tender evaluation process supports that the submission from Premier Building &
Construction Pty Ltd provides the most advantageous proposal for Council. Apart from being the least
expensive option, Premier Building & Construction Pty Ltd demonstrate to have the necessary
experience, expertise, resources and management systems to successfully undertake this project and
therefore the acceptance of this tender is duly recommended to Council.
Recommendation
a. That Council re-allocate $247,000 (including GST) from the QEII Square Master Plan Project to
the new Youth Cafe project to enable the Youth Cafe construction to proceed; and
b. That Council accepts the tender from Premier Building & Construction Pty Ltd for Contract No.

Purpose of Report
To recommend a preferred contractor for the sealing of runway shoulders, reconstruction of Taxiway D
and overlay of the General Aviation Apron at the Albury Airport through a qualitative and quantitative
assessment.
Background
A number of civil construction projects have been identified as key airside infrastructure maintenance
and improvement projects at the Albury Airport. Tenders were invited for Contract No. 15/03048 for
three of these projects. Each of the three projects were considered as stages (separable portions) of
the same contract.
The stages consisted of the following works:
Stage 1 – Sealing of Runway Shoulders;
Stage 2 – Reconstruction of Taxiway D; and
Stage 3 – General Aviation Apron Overlay.
To test the market, this tender called for individual pricing of Stages 1, 2 and 3, Stages 1 and 2
combined and Stages 1, 2 and 3 combined.
The airport runway currently has gravel shoulders which are prone to both wind erosion (propeller or
jet blast) and water erosion (from runway water runoff); consequently they require a high degree of
maintenance. The shoulders are also non-compliant with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA)
Manual of Standards (MOS) for the current geometry and to cater for jet aircraft. To reduce current
maintenance costs and cater for future aircraft movements, it is proposed that the runway shoulders
are sealed to a minimum width of three metres either side of the runway edge. The shoulders have
been designed to be non-load bearing and accommodate light vehicle traffic only.

Taxiway Delta (D) is a Code A taxiway (rated for aircraft weighing up to 5700kg) that connects
Taxiway Alpha (A) with Taxiway Bravo (B) and several of the General Aviation aprons. Taxiway D is in
poor condition with numerous failures along its entirety. Taxiway D is also non-compliant with the
MOS, given the open drain running adjacent to the taxiway on the west side is located eight metres
from the taxiway centreline, as opposed to the eleven metres required by the Standard. It is proposed
that Taxiway D is reconstructed along a new centre line, three metres further to the east of the existing
taxiway. This will resolve the poor pavement condition, as well as resolve the non-compliance notice
by CASA regarding the taxiway’s proximity to the open drain.
The General Aviation (GA) Apron is approximately 8,800m² in size and is accessed from Taxiways B
and D. The apron services eight aircraft hangars, operated by a variety of local aviation businesses.
The surface of the apron is in very poor condition with numerous failures and is becoming increasingly
more expensive to maintain. The project proposes a complete pavement reconstruction with new
sprayed bitumen seal surface.
Tender Assessment
Tenders for this project were invited via Council’s eTender portal, Tenderlink, and advertisements
placed in both the Border Mail (Saturday 19 December 2015) and the Sydney Morning Herald
(Tuesday 22 December 2015). The advertisements stated that tenderers were to attend a mandatory
site inspection, which was held on Tuesday 12 January 2016. The closing date for tenders was
Tuesday 2 February 2016.
Five tenders were received from the following companies:
Airport Consultancy Group, Robin QLD;
A P Delaney, Albury NSW;
CivilTeam Engineering - Airports, Murwillumbah NSW;
Excell Gray Bruni, Wodonga VIC; and
Fulton Hogan, Richmond VIC.
The tenders were subsequently assessed in terms of conformity, qualitative and quantitative criteria.
The assessment of the tenders was undertaken by the appointed Tender Evaluation Panel consisting
of Ian Redman (Acting Group Leader Projects), Gerard Coyle (Coordinator Procurement and Contract
Management) and Tyler Carey (Project Engineer).

ITEM FOR DECISION

FURTHER ENQUIRIES TO Brad Ferris

PHONE 6023 8747
Purpose of Report
To consider the introduction of additional kerbside waste collection services during the Christmas and
Easter periods.
Background
On 1 July 2012 AlburyCity, in conjunction with five neighbouring Councils, commenced a 12 year
kerbside waste collection contract with Cleanaway. This is an industry best practice service which
maximises resource recovery and re-use as well as extending the life of the Albury Waste
Management Centre (AWMC). The contract incorporated the delayed introduction (April 2015) of a
compulsory three bin system which includes a designated weekly organics (food and green waste)
service, a fortnightly recycling service and a fortnightly refuse service. This new regime was supported
by an extensive education and awareness campaign aligned with the already successful Halve Waste
Program.
At its meeting on Monday 8 February 2016, Council considered a Notice of Motion and endorsed the
following:
That Council executive investigate and report back to Council at the next Council meeting on the cost
of introducing an extra bin service (both recycling and garbage) during Christmas and Easter periods.
It is understood that this Notice of Motion was in response to representations from the community,
discussions on social media, and newsprint stories/letters during the festive period.
Issues
The primary concern raised by the community over the festive period, through newsprint, social media
and Councillor representations was that the new system did not align with their respective household
waste demands over the Christmas period. Typically this period has high generation of food waste and
recyclable material. Specifically, the key concerns raised over the recent Christmas period were lack
of space in the refuse (red) bin, lack of space in the recyclable (yellow) bin, too much capacity in the
organics (green) bin and the smell (flies etc) of the bins. Council also received five direct concerns

AlburyCity - Council Meeting
AGENDA
Agenda - AlburyCity Council Meeting – Monday 22 February 2015 Page 52
during the period being; limited amount of organics in green bin, no community consultation, visitors
with no time to separate waste, contamination in yellow bin and yellow bin overflowing.
The table below compares the available capacity in the kerbside waste collection system for each
waste stream during Christmas 2014 and Christmas 2015.
Waste Type 2014 Capacity 2015 Capacity Change
Food 140 litre weekly 240 litre weekly Increase 100 litres per
week
Recyclables 240 litre fortnightly 240 litre fortnightly No change
Refuse (non food, non
recyclable)
Included with food
waste
140 litre fortnightly Likely no change,
depending on
household waste profile
As indicated above, the current regime (Christmas 2015) offers a significant increase in food waste
capacity and maintains the historical recyclable capacity. It should be noted that the new regime (three
bins) offers each household an increase in capacity to the previous two bin system. The average
weekly available capacity for the three bin system is 370 litres compared to the historic two bin system
of 260 litres per week.
Council offers a range of bin configurations for households to customise their service in line with their
individual household demands. This includes a larger refuse service, larger recycling service, smaller
service and additional refuse and recycling bins. These are available for the full year or a pro-rata
arrangement for part of a period. Council also provide four vouchers to all properties receiving a
kerbside waste service. These vouchers are utilised for residents to dispose of excess waste at the
AWMC. It should also be noted that recyclables such as bottles, cans, plastics, cardboard, paper etc.
can be disposed of at the AWMC free of charge, without a voucher.
Furthermore, following an audit of the new three bin system in late November and early December
2015, it is evident that the Albury community, and the broader region, have embraced the new
kerbside collection service with excellent results achieved to date and the service being identified as
one of the best nationally. The following outcomes have been achieved for the period April to
December 2015:
household participation in the organics service is 87%. This is an excellent result considering
not all bins are presented every week due to vacant properties, residents away and low
household waste demands;
contamination levels in the organics system is consistently less than 1%. This is industry best
practice and underlines the success of the Halve Waste Program. Contamination rates during
the recent Christmas period reached a maximum of 1.4%;
approximately 13,500 tonnes of organic material has already been diverted from landfill and
composted for re-use. This is in line with expectations where the target for diversion of organics
was 18,000 – 20,000 tonnes per year. This initiative alone will have a significant impact on
extending landfill life. During 2014/15, approximately 91,000 tonnes of waste was buried at the

AlburyCity - Council Meeting
AGENDA
Agenda - AlburyCity Council Meeting – Monday 22 February 2015 Page 53
AWMC. The new three bin system has achieved an 18% reduction in waste buried at this
facility;
the recycling service has improved with recyclables (yellow bin) increasing in participation and
material collected by 7%. This is a direct result of the introduction of the three bin system and
scheduling, coupled with the education program;
voucher presentation at the AWMC has remained unchanged (35%) with the introduction of the
three bin kerbside service;
of the 23,568 properties serviced, Council has received very few concerns regarding the new
service regime. Contact has been more information sharing and support, rather than protesting
the new system. As at 31 December 2015, 14 formal complaints have been received with a
further five concerns raised during January;
1.5% of total properties serviced have upsized their refuse (red) bin to a 240 litre fortnightly
service and 0.1% of total serviced properties have upsized their recycling (yellow) bin to a 360
litre fortnightly service; and
State waste diversion targets have been exceeded. The new three bin system has increased
AlburyCity’s domestic waste diversion from 46% to 84%, which surpasses the State target of
70%.
As part of the implementation and subsequent audit, the participating Councils are also seeking ways
to further improve the service. Areas identified for further attention include:
23% waste in the refuse (red) bin is organic and can be disposed of in the organics (green) bin;
14% of waste in the refuse (red) bin is recyclable and can be disposed in the recycling (yellow)
bin;
an education campaign leading into Christmas and Easter will increase community awareness;
and
the kitchen caddy liners require a redesign prior to the next allocation to each household.
Therefore, to address concerns raised over lack of bin capacity (red and yellow bins), residents can
alter their standard kerbside service, dispose of waste at the AWMC using a voucher or dispose of
recyclables free of charge at the AWMC. Alternatively they could store recyclables to a later collection
in the schedule. Similarly the waste in the refuse (red) bin is non food, non recyclable and therefore
primarily inert and could be stored for a future collection. Smell (flies etc) will be a challenge
regardless of the system due to the hotter weather. This issue is primarily related to food waste which
remains on a weekly collection schedule.
A further alternative available is for Council to seek a variation to the current collection contract to
include an additional collection (both refuse and recycling) over the Christmas and Easter period. To
consider this further, a quotation was provided by Cleanaway in the sum of an additional $183,880
(excluding GST) per year to incorporate the additional collections at Christmas and Easter. This
equates to approximately $8.00 per property per year. The quotation includes the mobilisation of
additional trucks and resources to service the request. It should be noted that the Christmas and
Easter period are extremely busy periods for all waste collection providers and thus there is no spare
capacity within their current resources.

AlburyCity - Council Meeting
AGENDA
Agenda - AlburyCity Council Meeting – Monday 22 February 2015 Page 54
The Local Government Act (Section 504) requires Councils to separately account for income and
expenditure for domestic waste purposes and ensure there is no cross subsidisation with other funds
(General, Water and Sewer Funds). Accordingly, if additional services are agreed as part of a contract
variation, each rateable property with a domestic waste service will incur an increase in their Domestic
Waste Charge. This will be regardless of the household utilising these extra services.
Risk
Business Risk – the three bin system, including bin configuration and scheduling has been
designed to maximise recycling and thus meet State targets and extend the available life of the
landfill. Any increase in the availability to additional refuse (red) bin frequency may negatively
impact on the program objectives and thus consume valuable landfill space.
Corporate Risk – to date the new system has been successful and a range of options are
available for the community. However, there are sectors within the community that, based on
their individual circumstances, may be challenged by the regime. It is important that ongoing
support is provided to enable the ongoing success of the program. Furthermore, any increase in
the Domestic Waste Charge across all rateable properties may be viewed unfavourably as a
mechanism to address isolated periods impacting on a small portion of the community.
WHS and Public Risk – no risks identified in this area.
Delivery Program Risk – no risks identified in the area.
Community Engagement
The success of the new service has been influenced by the extensive education and awareness
campaign under the Halve Waste banner. This is a self-funded initiative through a levy on waste
presented at the AWMC. During 2016, there will be an increased focus on individual groups and
sectors within the community in an attempt to further enhance waste diversion. There are
opportunities such as social media to better promote and support this service. Since the introduction of
the new service, 123 individual community meetings have been undertaken as well as ongoing media,
school visits and one-on-one support.
Options
1. Introduce an additional bin service (both recycling and garbage) during Christmas and Easter;
or
2. Maintain the current service regime, collection cycle frequency and options available with an
ongoing focus on communication, awareness and education.
Conclusion
In April 2015 a new three bin waste collection service commenced that has achieved outstanding
results to date, aligned with industry best practice. However, some community concerns were raised
over the Christmas period which provided an opportunity to review the system and identify initiatives to
enhance the kerbside collection service. Council requested that the executive investigate the feasibility
of introducing additional services at Christmas and Easter.

AlburyCity - Council Meeting
AGENDA
Agenda - AlburyCity Council Meeting – Monday 22 February 2015 Page 55
The new regime provides residents with an increase in available kerbside capacity and is
complemented with bin configuration options, voucher systems and free disposal options.
Furthermore, excess recyclables and refuse could be stored and disposed of over a number of
kerbside collection cycles.
A quotation has been provided for additional services as requested. The lump sum price for additional
Christmas and Easter services is $183,880 (excluding GST) and this cost would need to be levied
against all residential properties through an increase in the Domestic Waste Charge as per Council’s
legislative requirements.
A recent review of the new system has provided favourable results including a high organics
participation rate, low contamination in the organics system, a significant reduction in waste buried, an
increase in recycling and achievement of the State waste diversion targets. This review also identified
further enhancements around education and infrastructure.
Based on the review, it is concluded that the new kerbside waste collection has been embraced by the
Albury community with results recognised at a national level. It is deemed inequitable to increase the
Domestic Waste Charge across the community to cater for a small portion for isolated periods where a
number of existing alternatives are available.
Recommendation
That Council:
a. receive and note the report on additional kerbside waste collection; and
b. maintain the current service regime, collection cycle frequency and options available with an
ongoing focus on communication, awareness and education.
