INTRODUCTION: Application is made for the replacement and upgrade of existing stormwater infrastructure located within six (6) Titles in Parnella. The overall project will be undertaken in five (5) stages, with this application relevant to Stages 3 and 5 only. All works will occur within the General Residential Zone. Parnella contains a designated landslip that results from the existing geology and groundwater flows. As this section of Parnella is developed and the area of impermeable surfaces increased, the intent of this application is to redirect amounts of stormwater toward Chimneys Lagoon. DISCUSSION:

- Clr LeFevre stated that this is a much needed development and it was identified quite some time ago.

- Clr Rubenach-Quinn stated she had some concerns regarding wording in conditions 7, 8 and 10 regarding water testing, pollution and weed management – could we use the words “best practice” instead of “regular”? The Planning Officer replied, definitely “best practice” could be inserted.

At a recent meeting we discussed with the manager of Cornerstone access to services in our local community and referrals. We are all working together to streamline the process with GP’s support being invaluable.

A preferred/potential model for Headspace was explained with a satellite/spoke model being emphasised. Members of our committee will now begin to explore this possibility and we will advocate strongly with State and Federal politicians.

Encouraging prominent and highly respected citizens to take an active and official role in Mental Health activities in small townships is progressing. I'm delighted to report that two ratepayers from Mathinna and one from Ansons Bay have joined our quest with more to follow.

INTRODUCTION: Presented to Council are the monthly financial statements. DISCUSSION:

- Clr Rubenach-Quinn asked regarding the equipment maintenance and minor purchases item on page 274, only 23% of annual budget has been used – is the equipment, etc be maintained properly – The Manager Corporate Services expects that we had larger purchases which would be capital.

- Clr Rubenach-Quinn HR asked regarding the item on page 285 – airport hangers, this is $15,000 above budget – would we review rental fees to recover some of these costs? The General Manager advised that he has requested the Building Services Coordinator to review why this has gone over, eg TasWater connection costs.

- Clr Rubenach-Quinn asked regarding the item on page 287 for reseals – are they going to be done this financial year? The Manager Corporate Services advised that they have been done we are just waiting for invoices

- Clr Rubenach-Quinn asked regarding the Capital Expenditure budget – at this point we have spent $6m less than planned, have we caught up on this to keep the expenditure flowing? The Manager Corporate Services advised that we have, there are also some items happening now that will flow through, we are confident that this will happen. The General Manager ran down the list and stated that if we look at the bridges, two (2) are happening at the moment, just a lag in invoicing. Items are well on the way and some have been completed awaiting invoices. Parnella has been delayed due to the DA process, the only one that could have been progressed but hasn’t due to waste changes is the St Marys Waste Transfer Station retaining wall.

- Clr LeFevre stated that in relation to the Bay of Fires, in particular Binalong Bay – this area needs a real strong look as part of the review, dogs in the little gulchs over summer sometimes cause havoc. With the increased visitor numbers over summer this area needs to be looked at very carefully. The NRM Facilitator stated that this is one of our most difficult areas, the Animal Control Officer has already provided some suggested changes for this area, the hardest thing is educating the community. The NRM Facilitator stated that this is a challenge as they don’t have an off lead area at Binalong Bay.

- Mayor Tucker asked, are working dogs allowed in some of these areas? The NRM Facilitator stated that he would need to check this with the Animal Control Officer – The NRM Facilitator stated that dogs that help people with disabilities get around are exempt but not sure about working dogs from farms.

| 06/17.16.1 General Manager’s Report 49

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this report is to provide Councillors with an update of various issues which are being dealt with by the General Manager and with other Council Officers where required. DISCUSSION:

- The General Manager provided updates on the Local Government Reform as follows: o The Northern Region had another meeting last Thursday and that this was for the

Draft final report, there were a couple of changes made which had some significant consequential effects, KPMG are making the changes and should have final report mid-July. There will probably be a media event with the Minister and Mayors and then it will come to Council for August workshop and KPMG are available for meetings with Councils and then formal adoption of receiving the report by approximately mid-august.

o Proposed Glamorgan Spring Bay Boundary (GSB) Adjustment – all the information is now with KPMG and we should be seeing a draft report in the next week or two and then we will circulate to Councillors to look at implications. The Works Supervisor and –a Team Leader went to Bicheno/Coles Bay area and found some interesting aspects around their service delivery and significant efficiencies. On the face of it we would not be picking up a lot of infrastructure, approximately four (4) bridges a few roads, main issue has been around the rates due to the GSB flat/fixed rate structure.

- The General Manager provided an update regarding the Strategic Plan sessions. We start the feedback/report back sessions tonight. We will be encouraging people to put in a submission. The Annual Plan is being prepared based on the new strategic plan so once the strategic plan is adopted we will finalise the Annual Plan.

- The General Manager reminded Council that the meeting for the community regarding the Scamander Bridge is on tonight following strategic plan session. The Department of State Growth will be doing a presentation and we have arranged an independent facilitator to Chair the discussion.

- Clr Drummond stated that there is an opportunity for the Economic Development Officer to meet with someone from this week. The General Manager advised that he has made the Economic Development Officer aware of this.

06/17.16.2 St Helens MTB Trail Network

FILE REFERENCE 004\011\012\

OFFICER’S RECOMMENDATION: That governance and project delivery arrangements be established to progress the project comprising:

1. Establishment of Steering Group as proposed. 2. Engagement of a Project Manager to deliver the project and progress investigations into

other trails projects. INTRODUCTION: The extension of the Blue Derby MTB network into Break O’Day through Stage 2 is now becoming a reality with the funding model falling into place with the recent commitment by the State Government of $1million. Council staff have been working towards securing the approvals and the recent announcement marks the start of accelerating the project towards delivery. DISCUSSION:

- Clr Wright stated that she has had a few people enquire in regards to the maintenance costs of the trails? The General Manager advised that we are finding that the maintenance costs on the current trails are quite low as the construction is done correctly at the start. At the moment we are allowing $1000 per km on the Blue Tier and we will wait and see how this pans out. We will be having a donation facility through our website as well as try and raise revenue where possible eg through events, looking at the way other areas operate eg Queenstown, NZ operates through a trust. There are a number of other ways we are looking at to mitigate expenses

- Clr Drummond asked regarding insurance. The General Manager advised that Council has its insurances but it is like other activities, people do this at their own risk, however we have our own risks that we need to ensure inspection regimes, etc are in place with documentation as required to show that Council has taken all reasonable care.

- Clr Rubenach-Quinn asked, is there any reporting system if incidents occur? The General Manager advised that not that he is aware of at the moment but one of the things we are going to do is an emergency management plan, we currently hear second or third hand when incidents occur and we want to take a best practice approach to what we are doing.

- Mayor Tucker stated that there are things that involve risk that people do everyday and the Westpac helicopter is deployed regularly to rescue people from walking tracks, etc.

- Clr Rubenach-Quinn asked, if there is one particular area on the trails where there seems to be numerous incidents if we had some way of reporting through Councils website to report incidents/accidents. The General Manager stated that yes, we would like to be able to address these issues particularly if there is an area of concern.

- The General Manager stated that we have got to have community understanding of what this is, as well as the business community. When we look at Weldborough and Derby it wasn’t a gradual start it happened straight away, we will pick an opportune time (particularly the business community) to plan ahead.
