MOUNT MAGNET

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITY

FOR THE PERIOD 1 July 2009 TO 30 June 2010

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The significant accounting policies which have been adopted in the preparation of this statement of

financial activity are:

(a) Basis of Accounting

This statement is a special purpose financial report, prepared in accordance with applicable Australian

Australian Accounting Standards, other mandatory professional reporting requirements and the Local

Government Act 1995 (as amended) and accompanying regulations (as amended).

(b) The Local Government Reporting Entity

All Funds through which the Council controls resources to carry on its functions have been

included in this statement.

In the process of reporting on the local government as a single unit, all transactions and balances

between those funds (for example, loans and transfers between Funds) have been eliminated.

All monies held in the Trust Fund are excluded from the statement, but a separate statement

of those monies appears at Note 9.

(c) Rounding Off Figures

All figures shown in this statement, other than a rate in the dollar, are rounded to the nearest dollar.

(d) Rates, Grants, Donations and Other Contributions

Rates, grants, donations and other contributions are recognised as revenues when the local

government obtains control over the assets comprising the contributions. Control over assets

acquired from rates is obtained at the commencement of the rating period or, where earlier, upon

receipt of the rates.

(e) Goods and Services Tax

In accordance with recommended practice, revenues, expenses and assets capitalised are stated net

of any GST recoverable. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of applicable GST.

(f) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits that are

readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of

changes in value.

For the purposes of the Cash Flow Statement, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and

cash equivalents as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are

included as short-term borrowings in current liabilities.

(g) Trade and Other Receivables

Trade receivables, which generally have 30 - 90 day terms, are recognised initially at fair value and

subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less any allowance for

uncollectible amounts.

Collectibility of trade receivables is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Debts that are known to be uncollectible

are written off when identified. An allowance for doubtful debts is raised when there is objective evidence that

they will not be collectible.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITY

FOR THE PERIOD 1 July 2009 TO 30 June 2010

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(h) Inventories

(i) Fixed Assets

All assets are initially recognised at cost. Cost is determined as the fair value of the assets given as

consideration plus costs incidental to the acquisition. For assets acquired at no cost or for nominal

consideration, cost is determined as fair value at the date of acquisition. The cost of non-current assets

constructed by the Municipality includes the cost of all materials used in the construction, direct labour

on the project and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead.

Certain asset classes may be revalued on a regular basis such that the carying values are not materially

different from fair value. Assets carried at fair value are to be revalued with sufficient regularity to ensure

the carrying amount does not differ materially from that determined using fair value at reporting date.

(j) Depreciation of Non-Current Assets

All non-current assets having a limited useful life are systematically depreciated over their useful

lives in a manner which reflects the consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in

those assets.

Depreciation is recognised on a straight-line basis, using rates which are reviewed each reporting

period. Major depreciation periods are:

Buildings 30 to 50 years

Furniture and Equipment 4 to 10 years

Plant and Equipment 5 to 15 years

Sealed roads and streets

clearing and earthworks not depreciated

construction/road base 50 years

original surfacing and

major re-surfacing

- bituminous seals 20 years

- asphalt surfaces 25 years

General

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable

value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the

estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Inventories held from trading are classified as current even if not expected to be realised in the next 12

months.

Land Held for Resale

Land purchased for development and/or resale is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost

includes the cost of acquisition, development and interest incurred on the financing of that land during its

development. Interest and holding charges incurred after development is complete are recognised as

expenses.

Revenue arising from the sale of property is recognised in the operating statement as at the time of signing a

binding contract of sale.

Land held for resale is classified as current except where it is held as non-current based on Council’s

intentions to release for sale.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(j) Depreciation of Non-Current Assets

Gravel roads

clearing and earthworks not depreciated

construction/road base 50 years

gravel sheet 12 years

Formed roads (unsealed)

clearing and earthworks not depreciated

construction/road base 50 years

Footpaths - slab 40 years

Sewerage piping 100 years

Water supply piping & drainage systems 75 years

(k) Impairment

In accordance with Australian Accounting Standards the Council's assets, other than inventories, are

assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication they may be impaired.

Where such an indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset is made

in accordance with AASB 136 "Impairment of Assets" and appropriate adjustments made.

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating

unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Income Statement.

For non-cash generating assets such as roads, drains, public buildings and the like, value in use is

represented by the depreciated replacement cost of the asset.

At the time of preparing this report, it is not possible to estimate the amount of impairment losses

(if any) as at 30 June 2009.

In any event, an impairment loss is a non-cash transaction and consequently, has no impact on

the Monthly Statement of Financial Position from a budgetary perspective.

(l) Trade and Other Payables

Trade and other payables are carried at amortised cost. They represent liabilities for goods and services

provided to the Municipality prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid and arise when the

Municipality becomes obliged to make future payments in respect of the purchase of these goods and

services. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(m) Employee Benefits

The provisions for employee benefits relates to amounts expected to be paid for long service

leave, annual leave, wages and salaries and are calculated as follows:

(i) Wages, Salaries, Annual Leave and Long Service Leave (Short-term Benefits)

The provision for employees’ benefits to wages, salaries, annual leave and long service leave

expected to be settled within 12 months represents the amount the municipality has a present

obligation to pay resulting from employees services provided to balance date. The provision has

been calculated at nominal amounts based on remuneration rates the Council expects to pay

and includes related on-costs.

(ii) Annual Leave and Long Service Leave (Long-term Benefits)

(n) Interest-bearing Loans and Borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration received less

directly attributable transaction costs.

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised

cost using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities that are

yield related are included as part of the carrying amount of the loans and borrowings.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Council has an unconditional right to defer

settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense when incurred except where they are directly attributable

to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Where this is the case, they are

capitalised as part of the cost of the particular asset.

(o) Provisions

(p) Current and Non-Current Classification

In the determination of whether an asset or liability is current or non-current, consideration is given to the time

when each asset or liability is expected to be settled. The asset or liability is classified as current if it is

expected to be settled within the next 12 months, being the Council’s operational cycle. In the case of

liabilities where Council does not have the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months, such as

vested long service leave, the liability is classified as current even if not expected to be settled within the next

12 months. Inventories held for trading are classified as current even if not expected to be realised in the

next 12 months except for land held for resale where it is held as non-current based on Council’s intentions to

release for sale.

The liability for long service leave is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the

present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the

reporting date using the projected unit credit method. Consideration is given to expected future wage and

salary levels, experience of employee departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are

discounted using market yields at the reporting date on national government bonds with terms to maturity and

currency that match as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows. Where Council does not have

the unconditional right to defer settlement beyond 12 months, the liability is recognised as a current liability.

Provisions are recognised when: The council has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past

events; it is more likely than not that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the

amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is

determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood

of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

All land except exempt land in the Shire of Mt Magnet is rated according to its Gross Rental Value (GRV) in townsites or Unimproved Value (UV)

in the remainder of the Shire.

The general rates detailed above for the 2009/10 financial year have been determined by Council on the basis of raising the revenue required

to meet the deficiency between the total estimated expenditure proposed in the budget and the estimated revenue to be received from all sources

other than rates and also considering the extent of any increase in rating over the level adopted in the previous year.

9.1.1.3 Alteration to Budget

File: FI-REP Officer: David Burton – Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 14 May 2010

Application To consider a budget alteration to Community Amenities for the 2009/2010 budget. Background Recent repairs required for reticulation at the cemetery and graves being dug have caused an over expenditure for this account Comment The reticulation at the cemetery was holed in several places and every time a leak was plugged, a new one would form. To ensure adequate water supply to the plants at the cemetery, a new line was installed to the cemetery for water. This expenditure was not in the original budget. For the budget process an estimate is made for the digging of graves. This is something that can only be estimated. This year, we have had several more graves required than were allowed in the budget. This has caused an over expenditure in this account. The current budget for Community Amenities is $17,000. Current expenditure is $36,251. $7,200 has been identified as allocated to this account incorrectly which will be removed. This still leaves the account over expended by $7,251 over budget. It is recommended that the budget allocation for maintenance of Community Amenities be lifted to $27,500 to allow for any additional graves to be dug if required before the end of the financial year.

9.2 MANAGEMENT AND POLICY

9.2.1 Review of Local Planning Strategy and Scheme

File: TP-TPMM Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 17 May 2010

Application To consider a review of the Mount Magnet Town Planning Scheme. Background The Town Planning Scheme for Mount Magnet is now several years old and amendments were required to allow for some recent developments. One of these amendments was for the changing of the zoning of the property for the GRAMS Centre. When the Environmental Health Officer and the Chief Executive Officer examined the plan for these properties, it was to also consider whether a complete review of the town planning scheme was required, or just amendments to the scheme. Comment The first meeting with Paul Bashall was to examine the process of doing a town planning review, look at the properties that needed amending and any other items that have arisen that are cause for concern and need to be amended. On examining these details, it was considered that a full review of the Local Planning Scheme was required. Also noted was the need to look at the old town sites within the shire to ensure that they are zoned appropriately to ensure that they can not be developed by an owner who would then require services to be delivered to the old town site. While the possibility of this is minimal, it is a possibility. Due to changes in legislation, the review process now includes the requirement of a Local Planning Strategy. The Local Planning Strategy looks at the ‘bigger picture’ of development in the Shire and provides a framework for decision making and general direction for any relevant planning directions for the next 10 to 15 years. The process of establishing the Local Planning Strategy and Local Planning Scheme is a fairly drawn out process that will involve several meetings with Council members and a community consultation period. The full process for this may take approximately 12 months. Consultation Paul Bashall – Town Planner Bill Atyeo – Environmental Health Officer Statutory Environment Town Planning Act Town Planning Scheme Policy Implications Part of the review of the Town Planning Scheme will also transfer the Town Planning Policies of Council into the new scheme.

OFFICER RECOMMENDATION

Moved: Seconded: That the Chief Executive Officer and Environmental Health Officer proceed with a review of the Town Planning Scheme for Mount Magnet using the services of Paul Bashall. CARRIED/LOST __/__ The reason for the change to the Recommendation is that Council would like to know the cost of a review of the Town Planning Scheme.

COUNCIL RESOLUTION

Moved: Cr W Scott Seconded: Cr Brand

1. That the item be left to lie on the table until a costing is presented to Council by Paul Bashall for the fees for service. 2. That the Chief Executive Officer contact Mr Bashall to request this information. Resolution 2010-05-06 Carried 8/0

File: FI-DON Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 9 May 2010

Application To consider a request to waive charges for bus hire and driving instructions. Background Council has received a request from the Mount Magnet Seniors Group for bus hire and also a staff member’s time to give instruction for driving the bus for a member to gain a bus driving licence. Comment Previously, bus driving lessons have been given to staff members who have been required to drive the bus as part of the position. An example of this is the Sports and Recreation Officer. I am not aware of a situation where we have given lessons to a member of a community group. While the Mount Magnet Seniors is a worthwhile group for the Shire to assist, there is the concern that waiving the fees for bus hire and also a staff member’s time for instruction will set precedence and may lead to other groups requesting the same. If we are to say yes to one group, then we need to be able to open it to all groups or develop a reasonable restriction that can be adhered to and easily administered. If we open this to all groups, it will be costly and time consuming for the Council and the staff members involved with instructing. If we are prepared to do it for one group, then we need to be prepared to waive the fees and charges for all groups of a similar nature. It may be an option to waive the charges for the bus hire, but still charge out for the staff member time. This may still set a precedent where people will get someone else to assist with the instruction and therefore the costing will be free. Another option may be to limit the cost to a set amount. Once again, these can be considered, but are we setting up for problems in the future. The shire has previously assisted the Seniors Groups with waiving hire fees for the Recreation Centre and also bus hire. There is also an additional request for $4,000 for the 2010/2011 budget.

Policy Implications 12.1 DONATIONS COUNCIL SHALL SUPPORT:

When requests for donations are received :-

Councils annual members donations budget lines be utilised for the following purposes:-

a) Donations to schools that serve children from within this Shire. b) Cultural, voluntary, education, artistic and sporting organisations within c) the Shire. d) Tourism, agricultural, environmental and similar not for profit organisations e) that operate within the Shire. f) Donations to fire/flood/tempest/storm damage appeals throughout Western Australia. g) The Country Medical Foundation of Western Australia. h) Local Organisation i) Regional bodies if and when requested on a “merit basis”, where special circumstances warrant

consideration of a contribution to another organisation.

Requests for donations from statewide charitable organisations generally not be considered by Council as Council believes donations to these charities should be supported by residents and/or government agencies/funding.

Financial Implications The cost of each lesson is $60 for bus hire and $55 for labour during work hours. In total it is $115 per lesson (based on 1 hour lessons). If 6 lessons are required, then this would be a total amount of $690.00 in value. Strategic Implications Nil Voting Requirements Simple Majority

OFFICER RECOMMENDATION

Moved: Cr McGorman Seconded: Cr G Scott That the Mount Magnet Seniors Group be advised that the hire fee of the Community Bus will not be waived as it would set precedence for other groups to request the same benefit. CARRIED/LOST __/__

AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION

Moved: Cr Jensen Seconded: Cr Jones That the Mount Magnet Seniors Group be advised that the hire fee of the Community Bus will be waived but the Mount Magnet Seniors Group must source their own driving instructor at their own cost. As there was no dissent to the amendment, the amendment became the substantive motion.

COUNCIL RESOLUTION

Moved: Cr McGorman Seconded Cr G Scott That the Mount Magnet Seniors Group be advised that the hire fee of the Community Bus will be waived but not for driving lessons and the Mount Magnet Seniors Group must source their own driving instructor at their own cost. Resolution 2010-05-08 Carried 7/0 The reason to change the Officer Recommendation was that although Council wished to support the Mount Magnet Seniors Group and have previously donated bus hire for outings, the request for a staff member to conduct driving lessons to train the member raises insurance cover issues. The CEO left the meeting at 2.34 and returned at 2.36. Cr Williams returned to the meeting at 2.36.

17th May 2010 The Shire of Mount Magnet PO Box Mount Magnet W.A. 6640 To whom it may concern: RE: BUS LESSONS for VOLUNTEER. I run the seniors day centre in Mount Magnet, and we use the Shire Bus to go on excursions. Occasionally I have to do patient transfers or training, and a second driver would mean that excursions would not have to be cancelled. This is the week of the volunteer and therefore an appropriate time to bring this up. The person who is volunteering every week to assist me is Karen Williams. Karen is a hard worker and I can rely on her to keep the Day centre running when work commitments require me to be elsewhere. Karen needs lessons in the shire bus in order to attain her LR licence with no cost to her. We require the use of the bus and a licensed driver to assist Karen in attaining her LR licence, as I am based in cue and would only be available on weekends. My request is for the Mount Magnet Shire to wave the cost of these lessons and the bus usage. . Thank you for your assistance and I look forward to hearing from you.

9.2.3 Council Meeting Dates 10/11

File: CR-COUN Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 19 May 2010

Application To consider the dates of Council Meetings from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011. Background Section 12 of the Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 require Council, to at least once per year, give local public notice of the dates, time and place at which ordinary council meetings and committee meetings required to be open to the public, are to be held in the next twelve months. Comment Council generally selects it meeting dates in May/June for the following twelve months. Attached are the draft meeting schedules for Committees and the Ordinary Meeting as per Council policy. It is Council policy that the Ordinary Council meeting is the fourth Friday of every month except January, that a Finance/Audit committee be alternated with an Executive Committee meeting held once a month on the Wednesday one week prior to the Ordinary Meeting and the Tourist Advisory Committee meeting is held each month one week prior to the Ordinary Meeting and on the Thursday. The December Ordinary Meeting date is the only date that has been shifted as it would have been on the 24 December and the office is traditionally closed for the Christmas break. The date is the preceding Friday, 17 December. While this date will make the December meeting close to the November meeting, it is more appropriate for the lead up to Christmas. The committee meetings for December will occur a fortnight after the November Ordinary Council. Consultation Nil Statutory Environment Local Government Act- Section 5.25 Local Government (Administration) Regulations 1996 Policy Implications Council Policy 1.2 states that: Ordinary Council meetings commence at 1pm on the fourth Friday of each month with the exception of January, or unless Council by resolution decides to amend the meeting date or time.

Currently any applications for monumental works and the placement of ashes is required to be approved through Council. This can have the effect of delaying the works until the next Council Meeting. By delegating the authority to the Chief Executive Officer we will be able to respond to these requests a lot quicker and save resources in the reporting process to Council. It is likely that this would only be for simple monumental works, anything of a more complex nature or that may be deemed offensive will be brought to Council.

File: AD-FOI Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 21 May 2010

Application To adopt the Freedom of Information Statement for 2010/2011. Background Under the Freedom of Information Act 1992 agencies are required to publish an up-to-date information statement every year. (This assists Freedom of Information applicants in framing their applications and reduces the burden on agencies when assisting applicants to identify documents of interest.) Council is required to provide a copy, every year of its updated information. Comment An updated comprehensive statement was adopted at the February 2007 meeting. I have reviewed the statement and the only changes have been to some of the Acts listed and also Councillors names and Committee Delegates. Due to the changes in Councillors earlier this year, Council does not have a delegate for Roadwise. Council will need to elect another delegate for representation if required. I have just left it vacant for this report. A copy of the statement will be sent out with the Agenda.

9.2.6 Request for Donation of Bus Hire

File: FI-DON Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 18 May 2010

Application To consider a request from the Mount Magnet District High School for a donation of bus hire and fuel. Background A request has been received from the Mount Magnet District High School for the donation of the Community Bus hire and fuel to send a football team to Geraldton for the “Smarter than Smoking” Cup Comment The Shire has previously donated the bus hire for other events held by the school. The cost for the trip (not including fuel) would normally be approximately $260.00 The donation of the bus hire would be an activity for some of the youth of Mount Magnet and also may entice others into the football team. Any sporting activity has the benefit of giving the youth something to do outside of school and reduces the amount of damage to Council property by youths who are bored. This donation does comply with Councils policy on donation requests. Consultation Nil Statutory Environment Nil Policy Implications 12.1 DONATIONS COUNCIL SHALL SUPPORT:

When requests for donations are received :-

Councils annual members donations budget lines be utilised for the following purposes:-

j) Donations to schools that serve children from within this Shire. k) Cultural, voluntary, education, artistic and sporting organisations within l) the Shire. m) Tourism, agricultural, environmental and similar not for profit organisations n) that operate within the Shire. o) Donations to fire/flood/tempest/storm damage appeals throughout Western Australia. p) The Country Medical Foundation of Western Australia. q) Local Organisation r) Regional bodies if and when requested on a “merit basis”, where special circumstances warrant

consideration of a contribution to another organisation.

Requests for donations from statewide charitable organisations generally not be considered by Council as Council believes donations to these charities should be supported by residents and/or government agencies/funding.

Financial Implications The cost of the donation will reduce Councils income for the Community bus by approximately $260.00 plus any fuel that is used.

File: EN-MMSR Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 21 May 2010

Application To consider a request for VACSWIM Classes in Mount Magnet Background The Shire of Mount Magnet has previously been involved in the VACSWIM program for swimming lessons over the Christmas break. Comment The shire has previously allowed the VACSWIM classes to be held in the Mount Magnet Swimming Pool. The benefits of the classes are to provide swimming lessons for interested children for the town through instructions from a qualified person. The fact that people are learning water safety and to swim properly is good for the patrons of the pool. This class also allows for the youth to have something constructive to do over the holiday period.

9.2.8 Erection of Fence at 17 Hepburn Street

File: TP-TPMM Officer: David Burton - Chief Executive Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 24 May 2010

Application To consider a request to construct a 1.8m high fence at the front of a property at 17 Hepburn Street Mount Magnet. Background Council has received a request from Jason Homewood for the erection of a 1.8m high fence at 17 Hepburn Street, Mount Magnet for security purposes. It is also to reduce the noise levels from vehicles on the main highway. Comment There are currently about 3 properties along Hepburn Street that have high fences. These are constructed from a range of materials including colour bond steel, stone and cement fibre. Other houses in the town area have high fencing also. The erection of such a high fence may be seen as closing in the properties and a bit of an eyesore if all people living on the street were to construct a similar fence. From a tourist/visitor point of view, it is not a pleasing site to see a line of fencing when entering the town site. It may be a preference if the fence was limited to 1.2m at a maximum height which will still provide some security without the fence being seen as an eyesore for visitors to Mount Magnet. It may be difficult to stipulate this requirement as there is already a property on Hepburn Street, just up from this property, which has a 1.8m fence.

7 ANNOUNCEMENTS BY PRESIDING PERSON WITHOUT DISCUSSION

Thank you all for attending, I would like to thank the Committee at last months meeting, along with attendees of Penny Pierce, Laurie James & Kent Lucy for input. For our meetings to be productive, I would ask that only one person speak at a time and that there be no side conversations during the meeting. If you think of a point you wish to raise, write it down and I’ll do my best to make sure you have an opportunity to raise it, time permitting. That way everyone will get to hear all that is said. While we need to keep to the agenda items, it is my hope that an amount of time be included for people to raise ideas that are not included on agendas, or in written form to Chairperson. Council are addressing details of “The Granites” as per a Feasibility Study conducted in 2008, this will be available when completed. At this time ‘the granites’ shall remain as is on the Tourist Trail, including signage clearly showing “Day area only – No Overnight stays”. As our Tourist Trail is open to all, my concerns are that at Mount Warramboo Lookout, we have bunding put in place at the edge where many people view Mount Magnet townsite and photograph same. Bunding could be large rocks in keeping with surroundings, this is a safety concern. Mount Magnet is the integral centre of “the Miners Pathway”, as advertised on Outback Pathways book & CD, with many thousands of $$$ being invested to put us there. Current silver etched signage at Lennonville & Mount Warramboo lookout, is in keeping with the whole region of Mid West, and as discussed and voted on in this committee, I would like to see same style adapted for old Railway Station site in Laurie Street, Racecourse, Lennonville townsite. Would be interested in feedback from our new Visitor Survey Forms, ie numbers completed from Tourist Information Centre or Caravan Park. Thanks to the CEO and staff who have assisted this committee in time and research materials for our town. Thanks Cr Karen Williams

9.5.1.1 Mount Magnet Festival Update

File: CO-TOUR Officer: Danelle Fauntleroy – Community Development Officer Amended By: Nil Disclosure of Interest: Nil Date: 14 May 2010

Application Updated information for the Art Exhibition and Mount Magnet Festival. Background Council resolved at its 26 March 2010 meeting of Ordinary Council to have a Mount Magnet festival incorporating an art competition in October. The date was resolved to be 02 and 03 October 2010. Comment Preparations are underway for the 2010 Mount Magnet Festival and Art Exhibition. The art exhibition entry form has been emailed to community development officers, visitor centres, Tafe centres, universities and other training institutes and community arts groups throughout WA. A copy of the entry form has been sent to Market Creations for inclusion on the Shire of Mount Magnet Website and printed copies are available from the Shire Office, Mount Magnet Visitors Centre and other businesses around town. I have spoken with ACDC in Geraldton and Mathew Leonard, the new Wirnda Barna Art Centre Manager regarding judging of the competition. Matthew has a number of contacts in WA who may be interested in judging and visiting Mount Magnet and I will be speaking with him further regarding the competition and exhibition side of things when he returns to Mount Magnet in a couple of weeks. I am obtaining quotes for either hire or purchase of a hanging system to display the artwork and have sent out sponsorship letters to some of the larger companies operating in the area. I have applied for sponsorship for the Festival from Landcorp and am currently completing application forms for Lotterywest and Healthways. I am still investigating other funding sources and grants that may be available. I am obtaining quotes and availability for artists and attractions and will be attending community group meetings as they occur to discuss their involvement with the Festival. Once we have a better idea of funding and what various community groups would like to do as part of the festival we can begin confirming artists and attractions. I will be drafting a letter this month to go out to all businesses in Mount Magnet advising them of the Festival dates and asking for their assistance and involvement with the Festival. I will be following up with phone calls and visits to try to engage all businesses with the Festival in some way. Consultation Nil Statutory Environment Nil
