CM 2 RECORDING OF MEETING

The Chairperson advised those present that the meeting is being recorded for

administrative purposes.

CM 3 CONFLICT OF INTEREST DECLARATIONS RECEIVED BY THE

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

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).

Page 37: Council Meeting Agenda - eservice.alburycity.nsw.gov.au

AlburyCity - Council Meeting

AGENDA

Agenda - AlburyCity Council Meeting – Monday 22 February 2015 Page 37

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

the contract documentation and specification.

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.

Premier Building & Construction Pty Ltd, Southern Cross Developers Pty Ltd, Dezign Interiors and

Qualitative Assessment

A qualitative assessment considered a range of issues including:

demonstrated capability to undertake the work under the contract including capacity, experience,

resources and management systems;

the projected works program including methodology; and

referees – performance on previous projects.

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

Page 40: Council Meeting Agenda - eservice.alburycity.nsw.gov.au

AGENDA

Agenda - AlburyCity Council Meeting – Monday 22 February 2015 Page 40

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.

Dezign Interiors 1,318,900.00 97

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 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.

15/03417, Construction of the new Youth Cafe in the lump sum amount of $1,279,355.26

(including GST).

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.

Agenda - AlburyCity Council Meeting – Monday 22 February 2015 Page 43

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).

FURTHER ENQUIRIES TO Brad Ferris

Engineering

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

Page 52: Council Meeting Agenda - eservice.alburycity.nsw.gov.au

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

Page 53: Council Meeting Agenda - eservice.alburycity.nsw.gov.au

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.

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.

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.
