It is a pleasure to present Council’s second Corporate Business Plan which incorporates a four year operating and capital works budget. This document should be read in conjunction with Council’s ten year Strategic Community Plan which was adopted at the Ordinary Meeting on 12 April 2013 and is available on the Shire website. Council is very appreciative of the input from the community into the development of the Plan. The Corporate Business Plan sets out the strategic direction for the Shire and provides a management tool for its achievement. The Corporate Business Plan also sets out Council’s goals and objectives and includes both operating and capital funding projections. The Plan is a living document that will be monitored and updated as required. The 2013/2014 Financial Year is intended to be a period during which plans commenced in the previous year are finalised and implemented. A major focus will be the maintenance and upgrade of Council’s road network and sustainable management of community buildings and other assets. The 2013/2014 Budget makes provision for a capital works program of some $2,700,000, much of which will be funded by grants, as well as the transfer to reserves of $300,000. The budget assumes an overall rate revenue CPI increase of 3.0% and in general fees and charges have been increased by this amount also. New rating categories of Commercial and Industrial will be implemented in the coming year with rate increases of 6% intended to make our rating system more equitable. Domestic waste collection charges are to increase from the current $220 pa to $245 pa to complete the two year phase in process implemented to fully cover the cost of collection. Key initiatives included in the Corporate Business Plan in 2013/2014: • Finalisation and implementation of the Master Plan for the

Mainstreet and Central Business area. This plan will address Issues such as entrance signage, street furniture, traffic movement and shop fronts.

• Finalisation and implementation of the Master Plan for the Recreation Centre Precinct including the provision of a youth space. Council has allocation $397,885 in individual Country Local Government Funding to this project. A key component of this project will be the replacement of the existing skatepark, a priority for our young people.

• Upgrade of the Mount Magnet Memorial Pool by replacing the stained and unsightly tiles on the north and south ends. The upgrade will also include the installation of shade sails.

• Finalize the Conservation Plan for the Old Hospital and in conjunction with the community determine the future of this building.


SUMMARY • Allocate additional funding for the next four years to upgrade and maintain the Mount

Magnet Pensioner Units. Seek funding for the construction of an additional four units. • Upgrade works on the Cue Paynesville Road, unsealed road network and town

streets. This work will involve the forming up of unsealed roads and improvements to drainage in both the rural and urban areas.

• Co-ordinate and expand community activities with an emphasis on youth. • In conjunction with Landcorp provide additional light industrial lots in the Moses Street

industrial area. • Replace the amenities block at the Mount Magnet Caravan Park at a cost of

$650,000. Federal funding of $250,000 has been obtained for this project. • In conjunction with other Murchison Councils develop a regional approach to tourism

that will enhance the role of the Mount Magnet Visitors Centre and increase visitation to the Mining and Pastoral Museum.

• Commitment of Mount Magnet’s 2012/2013 Regional Group Country Local Government allocation of $397,885 to extend the No. 2 Vermin Fence as a first step in the construction of the Murchison Region Vermin Cell. Our Shire will continue to call on all Councils in the Murchison region and also the Mid West Development Commission, to commit funding and work together to construct the Murchison Region Vermin Cell as a means of reducing the impact of wild dogs and helping restore the viability of the pastoral industry.

The Shire of Mount Magnet is committed to monitoring progress on the implementation of this Corporate Business Plan through quarterly reviews and careful scrutiny of actual and budgeted expenditure. Questions and input relating to the Plan are welcome. The Plan is available at the Library, Shire Administration Building and Council's website www.mtmagnet.wa.gov.au

Ashley Dowden PRESIDENT


INTRODUCTION In June 2012 Council adopted the Shire of Mount Magnet 2012/2013 to 2016/2017 Corporate Business Plan and Four Year Budget. The 2013/2014 to 2017/2018 Corporate Business Plan updates this earlier document. These plans have been prepared in accordance with the Integrated Planning and Reporting Guidelines developed by the Department of Local Government. As detailed in the Guidelines the Corporate Plan is intended to: • Drive the development of the Annual Budget. • Identify external trends and key issues that will impact on Council’s operations for the

ensuing financial year. • Identify actions relating to services, assets and projects with a linkage to short,

medium and long term community aspirations as set out in Council’s Strategic Community Plan and Forward Capital Works Plan.

• Identify performance measures by which the success of the Corporate Business Plan can be measured and improvements implemented.

At the Ordinary Meeting on 24 February 2012 Council approved the following framework for implementation of the Integrated Planning and Reporting Requirements: Prior to 30 June 2012 • Prepare a Corporate Business Plan and a four year capital works and operating

budget. • Arrange for a valuation of noncurrent assets as a first step in the preparation of an

Asset Management Plan. • As part of the process of developing the Corporate Business Plan and associated

four year budget arrange a program of community consultation. • Prior to 30 June 2013 • Develop a ten year Community Strategic Plan in conjunction with an ongoing program

of community consultation. • Prepare an Asset Management Plan and Long Term Financial Plan. • Update the Corporate Business Plan and four year capital works program and

operating budget.

SHIRE OF MOUNT MAGNET WORKFORCE PLAN This Shire of Mount Magnet Workforce Plan form part of this Corporate Business Plan and has been prepared in accordance with Department of Local Government guidelines. Where Are We Now?- November 2011 Review of Organisational Structure In November 2011 a review of Council’s organisational structure was conducted. This process involved extensive consultation with staff and Elected Members and was commenced in conjunction with the development of Council’s first Corporate Business Plan and Strategic Community Plan. Key objectives to emerge from this review were: • To balance staff numbers with workload on a financially sustainable basis. • To develop an organisation chart that clearly defines the duties and responsibilities of

each position and links in with position duty statements. • To develop an organisation chart that clearly defines the grading of each position and

identifies career paths. • To put in place training opportunities for staff with a particular emphasis on

Occupational Health and Safety and formal recognition of skills held. • To address gaps in specialist areas such as finance and human resources. Strategic Community Plan and Corporate Business Plan – Organisational Structure The Corporate Business Plan and Community Strategic Plan have been formulated on the basis of financial and other resources that are considered to be realistically available on a sustainable basis. Every effort has been made to avoid presenting the community with impractical and unrealistic expectations. One of the features of most local government authorities is the need to prioritise as generally resources are insufficient to meet the expectations of all. The attached organisational structure has been developed in accordance with priorities identified in both the Corporate Business Plan and Strategic Community Plan and is fully funded in the four year budget. Principle functions provided for in the organisational structure include: • Works – roads, parks and gardens, cemetery and waste management. • Caravan Park • Airport • Swimming Pool • Tourism Promotion and Development • Youth and Community • Environment and Building • Regulatory – dogs/cats, fire breaks and litter • Grant Writing and Administration • Financial Management • Administration and Customer Service As indicated in the organisational chart The Shire of Mount Magnet has a full time equivalent staff of 21. Shire indoor staff are employed under conditions laid down the Local Government Interim Award (WA) and the grading of positions determined in accordance with this award. Shire outdoor staff are employed under the Municipal Employees Interim Award with grading of positions being determined in accordance with this award.


The organisational review referred to above confirmed and identified a number of gaps in service delivery resulting from difficulties in recruitment of staff and workloads that do not justify a full time appointment. As indicated in the attached organisational chart these gaps have been filled by contractors/consultants as follows: • Regulatory – part time Ranger. The Ranger attends Mount Magnet three times per

month and in the event of an emergency such as a dog attack generally responds within two to three hours.

• Environment and Building – part time Environment and Health Officer/Building Surveyor. The Environment and Health Officer/Building Survey visits Mount Magnet for one week in every month.

• Finance – Consultant Mid West Financial. Provision of professional accountancy services including preparation of budgets and financial reports on an as required basis.

• Grant Writing and Administration – Consultant Grants Empire. Grant writing and administration on an as required basis.

Strategies To Meet Future Workforce Requirements Over the last twelve months in discussion with staff and Elected Members and at various community meetings the following components have been identified to meet future work force requirements: • Provide training opportunities for staff that result in the attainment of formal or

accredited qualifications • Recruit staff where possible from within the Mount Magnet community • Provide flexible working arrangements that support family life • Provide well maintained affordable housing • Establish regular communication processes and encourage staff feedback • Provide safe working conditions with up to date well maintained equipment and

systems. • Review existing award arrangements with a view to entering into an Enterprise

Bargaining Agreement. Monitoring and Evaluation of Outcomes Workforce planning is ongoing and outcomes will be monitored annually as part of the development and review of the Corporate Business Plan. During the 2012/2013 financial year progress in the following areas has been made: • In February 2012 the Durack Institute of Technology were engaged to assist outdoor

staff attain Certificate II qualifications in Civil Construction and Horticulture. By December 2012 all staff had achieved this qualification following a program of on the job training arranged by the Durack Institute including formal assessment of skills held. Council’s outdoor staff are experienced and capable and a formal qualification such as this gives recognition to their abilities and raises awareness in the importance of working safely.

• Funding has been obtained from the Country Local Government Fund to construct new duplex housing consisting of two self contained two bedroom, two bathroom units for council staff and a doctor.

• On a monthly basis the CEO meets with all staff to advise of outcomes from the previous Ordinary Meeting of Council and give an opportunity for staff to raise any issues.

SECTION 1 – COUNCIL FINANCES

1. Financial Management Council’s financial management is governed by the Local Government Act 1995, the Local Government Act Financial Regulations 1996 and other relevant Regulations. Council’s auditors are Chartered Accountants Anderson, Munro and Wylie. Accounting firm Midwest Financial provides Council with specialist financial advice and prepares monthly financial statements for the consideration of Elected Members at each Ordinary Meeting. Midwest Financial also prepares Council’s Annual Budget and Forward Capital Works Program. Council banks with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia. This Corporate Business Plan should be read in conjunction with the Four Year Budget and Forward Capital Works Program and the 2013/2014 Statutory Budget . Council’s 2013/2014 Fees and Charges are included as part of the Statutory Budget. The 2013/2014 Annual Budget provides for a Comprehensive Operating Income as at 30 June 2013 of ($381,634) which after adding back deprecation of $1,145,065 equates to a surplus of $763,431. Of the surplus, before depreciation, approximately $300,000 will be allocated to Council’s Reserve account.

2. Investments Council invests money not required to meet immediate operational needs. Legislation restricts whom Council can invest with to minimise risk to ratepayer funds. Currently Council’s Reserves and surplus funds are invested with the Commonwealth Bank in interest bearing deposits. Returns on investments are expected to remain low over the next twelve months pending action by the Reserve bank to raise interest rates as the economy starts to pick up following the global economic crisis. Council’s estimated interest revenue in 2013/14 is $133,102. Much of this interest is applied to specific projects under various Government grant agreements.

3. Loans Council had two outstanding loans at 1 July 2013 as follows: • Loan 38 Staff Housing $83,687 • Loan 39 Museum Construction $240,436 There are no additional borrowings planned for 2013/2014.

4. Rates Council charges rates using the Differential Rating System. Council calculates rates by using a combination of Gross Rental Values (GRV) and Unimproved Capital Values (UV). These values are updated every five years by the Valuer General with the most recent revaluation taking effect from 1 July 2010.


A 4% increase in the overall current rate revenue applied in 2012/13 and Council has budgeted for a 3% increase in 2013/2014. Rate increases are based on the estimated Perth CPI as at 1 July plus an additional locality allowance of 1%. In 2013/2014 it is proposed to introduce two new rating categories aligned with the commercial and industrial zones in the new Mount Magnet Local Planning Scheme No 2. Prior to 1 July 2013 commercial and industrial properties were rated the same a residential properties which for many years has been considered an inequitable arrangement. In 2013/2014 it is proposed to raise rates payable for commercial and industrial properties by 6%. Rates for 2013/2014 are as follows:

TOTAL 2,856,195 697,441 100.0 100.0 700,340 *Minimum Rates apply in some cases. It is Council’s intention to increase rates annually by the estimated Perth Consumer Price Index as at 30 June plus an additional 1% to account for higher costs experienced in regional areas. The estimated rate revenue for 2013/2014 is $988,743. Estimated rate revenue for 2012/2013 was $981,360. The actual increase from 2012/2013 to 2013/2014 is 0.8% despite the rate in the dollar and the minimums being increased by 3%. The reason for this is a reduction in the number of assessments from 718 in 2012/2013 to 674 in 2013/2014 caused in the main by removing expired exploration and prosecuting leases from the rates data base.


5. Waste Management Charges Council provides a waste collection service within the township of Mount Magnet. The following charges apply: SERVICE 2010/11 2011/12 2012/13 2013/14 2014/15 2015/16 Domestic $195 $195 $220 $245 Commercial $429 $429 $440 $490 Blackcat Camp $1,870 $1,870 $1,995 $2,075 Hotels $1,606 $1,606 $1,671 $1,738

The domestic charge is based on collection of one 240 litre bin per week with the commercial charge being based on the collection of two 240 litre bins per week. Domestic charges have been increased in two stages to ensure the full recovery of collection costs. The Black Cat Camp is charged at a rate of $5.25 per accommodation unit. CPI increases as previously mentioned have been applied. Charges for dumping bulk materials such as concrete and asbestos also apply at the Waste Management Landfill.

6. Revenue Summary Council’s major recurrent revenue sources (budget estimates only) are: The reduction indicated in the Federal Assistance Grant road component in 2011/2012 resulted from the handover of the Sandstone Road to Main Roads WA.

7. Outstanding Rates Debtors The current level of outstanding rates at the commencement of the financial year is listed below: The recent increase in outstanding rate debtors has been a great concern to Council. An outstanding debt ratio of nearly 43% is clearly unacceptable. As approved in December 2011, Council will instigate legal action where appropriate to recover unpaid rates. In instances where legal action is instigated under the Local Government Act most costs are recoverable from the rate payer. At the end of the 2012/2013 Financial Year Council expects to write off some $120,000 in rates that are believed to be irrecoverable. Most of these write off are expected to be from mining tenements that have been inactive for many years thus making the task of holding the past lessee to account impractical.

8. Fees and Charges Fees and Charges for 2013/2014, which have been increased by 3%, are included at the end of the Statutory Budget document. It is Council’s intention to increase Fees and Charges annually by the Perth Consumer Price Index plus 1%.

9. Plant Charges Currently Council’s plant costing system does not make provision for the replacement of any major items of plant. It is for this reason that the Plant Reserve is significantly underfunded. Over the coming twelve months a system will be put in place whereby a component of the plant charge is transferred to the plant reserve thereby ensuring, over time, that sufficient funds are available to meet the requirements of council’s plant replacement program.

10. Depreciation It is not a requirement under the Local Government Act and Accounting Regulations that depreciation is funded. Notwithstanding this, Council has established reserve accounts in an effort to at least partly ensure adequate resources are available in the future to replace and maintain infrastructure assets. Council has set as an objective that within the next four years 30% of the annual depreciation of buildings, plant and equipment and infrastructure such as the Airport and Caravan Park will be placed in reserve annually. Annual estimated depreciation, capital expenditure, transfers to and from reserves and reserve account balances are as follows: ESTIMATED DEPRECIATION EXPENSE

11. Reserves Council Reserves at 30 June 2013 are estimated to be $1,896,053. These Reserves are made up of: In recent times Council’s reserves have been used to create new assets. The forecast reserves as at 30 June 2014 do not provide adequately for the maintenance or replacement of the assets with which they are associated. As indicated above it is Council’s intention to fund at least 30% of annual depreciation and place these funds in appropriate reserve accounts. It is considered that for a Council such as Mount Magnet, reserves should at a minimum be maintained at $2-3 Million, excluding external project specific grant funding that may also be held in reserve.

12. Valuation of Non Current Assets Council has adopted a five year cycle for the valuation of noncurrent assets. In March 2012 Prime Property Valuations based in Geraldton were engaged to value Council’s land, buildings and plant at a cost of $26,000 plus GST. The valuations carried out were for insurance purposes and to determine fair value for financial reporting purposes. These valuations were applied in the 2012/2013 financial year. In March 2012 Greenfield Technical Services were engaged to value the road network utilising the West Australian Local Government Association Roman II methodology. Due to problems with the Roman II software this work was not completed until February 2013. Of concern, the valuations so determined varied greatly from those calculated using the Roman I methodology in 2005. In particular a threefold increase in the annual depreciation of the road network was an outcome of the Roman II exercise. On the basis of discussion with Greenfield Technical Services and Council’s Asset Management Plan consultant Morrison Low the Roman II valuations will not be applied in 2013/2014. This deferment will enable comparisons with other Council’s and potential modifications to the Roman II software.

SECTION 3 - MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE One of the Shire of Mount Magnet’s principal responsibilities is the care and management of community infrastructure. Under this Plan it is intended to group infrastructure on a geographical basis namely: • Town Centre (Hepburn Street) • Senior Citizens Centre • Federation/Foster Park • Recreation Centre/Sports Ground/Adventure Playground • Swimming Pool • Anzac Hall/Outdoor Cinema • Rural Transaction Centre • Old Hospital • Pensioner Units • Staff Housing • Urban Roads • Rural Roads • Cemetery The overall goal for community infrastructure is to ensure that it is managed for the benefit of Mount Magnet residents in a sustainable way. This Corporate Business Plan endeavors to quantify the current position with regard to community infrastructure and then look ahead to what is required in the future and how best to meet this requirement.

1. Town Centre The town centre is the area of Hepburn Street between Welcome Street and Carroll Street. Hepburn Street is the Great Northern Highway and as such the road pavement and traffic control is the responsibility of Main Roads WA. Council is responsible for the cleaning of the footpaths and kerbing and for maintenance of the median strip garden beds. Council is also responsible for the town centre irrigation system and security cameras. Annual maintenance costs for the town centre are of the order of $70,000.


Projects for the Town Centre include: Following the installation of indent parking and paving of footpaths in 1995 and then the reconstruction of the median strips in 2007 there has not been a requirement for capital expenditure in the town centre. In February 2013 Council engaged community planning consultant CCS Strategic to prepare a Mainstreet Master Plan for the Town Centre which is expected to be finalized by 30 June 2013. Preparation of the Mainstreet Master Plan commenced with a program of community consultation and workshops with issues being addressed to include: • Entrance statements on the Great Northern Highway and Sandstone Road • Provision of information bays • Provision of street furniture and signage • Upgrade of Barimala Creek Reserve • Beautification of shop fronts • Upgrade of median strips It is anticipated that funding assistance will be obtained for many of the projects listed above that are to be implemented under the Mainstreet Master Plan. A major source of such assistance is expected to be the Mid West Development Commission’s Investment Plan for Town Revitalization. In a submission to the development of the Plan the issue of safety and truck speeds in the 50kph section of Hepburn Street was raised. In view of these concerns approval will be made Main Roads WA to review traffic speed and considered implementation of 40kph restrictions.

2. Senior Citizen's Centre The Mount Magnet Senior's Group occupies the old Tourist Information Centre Building located on Lot 386 Hepburn Street. The Senior's Group has a lease on this facility until 2019. The building is provided rent free and the Senior's Group have lodged a funding application with Lotterywest for plumbing works at the Centre valued at $2,365.00. The Mount Magnet Seniors Group have requested that a kitchen, toilet and small storage room is added on to the existing building. The cost of this work has been estimated by Teakle & Lalor to be $78,000 approx (Ex GST). Provision of $26,000 has been included in the Capital Works Program. The balance of funding required will be sought externally from organisations such as Lotterywest and Mid West Development Commission.

3. Federation & Foster Parks The Federation/Foster Park facility is an important component of Council’s tourism and community infrastructure. The area includes a shaded children’s playground, a BBQ and a toilet block. Utilisation by travelers is high and it is used for community events. The water reticulation system which was installed ten years ago is currently being repaired as a short term measure, however, it is recognized that to perform as intended replacement of the current system is a requirement. Members of the community are currently maintaining and adding colour to existing garden beds that front the Highway. Projects for Federation and Foster Parks include: DESCRIPTION 2012/13

4. Recreation Centre and Sports Ground The Recreation Centre and Sportsground adjoin the Mount Magnet District High School and are used extensively by students. The Sportsground is illuminated for night time use and incorporates a full size AFL Oval. Netball/Basketball Courts adjoin the Sports Ground and High School as well as a children’s adventure playground and disused tennis courts. Squash courts are attached to the Recreation Centre. The Recreation Centre is an open plan building constructed in 2007, which is used by many community groups and sporting bodies. Funding of the maintenance of the Sportsground facility is a joint Shire/Department of Education responsibility and a formal five year agreement has been entered into to facilitate the arrangement.


Annual maintenance costs are of the order of $54,000 pa of which the Department of Education is responsible for 50%. The oval irrigation system was upgraded in early 2013 at a cost of $52,000. In February 2013 community planning consultants CCS Strategic were engaged to prepare a Recreation Centre Precinct Master Plan with a focus on the needs of Mount Magnet youth. Preparation of the Master Plan commenced with a program of community consultation during the last weekend in February 2013. The Recreational Centre Precinct Master Plan will address issues such as: • Way to improve the functionality and utilisation of the existing Recreation Centre. • The upgrade of the existing skatepark and BMX track. • The requirement for a youth centre and community centre. • The future of the tennis courts and squash courts. • Ways to improve the utilization of the oval and netball/basketball courts. This Master Plan (along with the Mainstreet Master Plan mentioned above) is expected to be completed by 30 June 2013. It is anticipated that Council’s individual 2012/2013 Royalties for Regions funding allocation of $397,885 will be applied to the Community/Youth Centre project. Council’s application for this funding allocation is currently being considered by the Department of Regional Development and Lands with project approval expected towards the end of the 2012/2013 financial year. Projects included in Council’s Capital Works Program for the Recreation Centre and Sportsground are:

5. Mount Magnet Memorial Swimming Pool The Mount Magnet Memorial Swimming Pool was constructed in 1965 and is a well used facility. The Pool is open six months of the year from October to March inclusive. In recent years the filtration system has been upgraded and water quality standards meeting current health requirements are being achieved. Operating costs excluding depreciation and administration overheads are some $155,000 pa. Deprecation is some $35,000 pa and Revenue in the 2012/2013 year was nil as entry to the pool was free due to the disruption caused by construction activities in the pool grounds. Entry charges will be reinstated in 2013/2014 now that construction works are completed ($3 per adult and $2 per pensioner/child). Revenue for 2013/2014 is estimated to be $6,000. In January 2012 a new Pool Amenities building was completed which included change rooms, toilets, showers, kiosk, first aid room and a fitness centre. The cost of this building was $947,000 which was funded under the CLGF Program ($850,516) and Council funds ($96,484). Shade Structures over the main pool, toddler pool and grassed areas will be erected at a cost of $80,000 prior to the commencement of the 2013/2014. The Fitness Centre was fitted out at a cost of some $20,000 with funding assistance of $10,000 being provided by the Mid West Development Commission. Membership of the fitness centre, which is open from 4.00am to 10.00pm daily, is available to all residents over the age of 18 years at a cost of $350 pa including GST. The Fitness Centre is unsupervised with access controlled by security system installed as part of the new amenities building project. Projects for Swimming Pool include:

6. Anzac Hall and Outdoor Cinema The Anzac Hall and Outdoor Cinema adjoins the Mount Magnet War Memorial Park on the corner of Hepburn and Naughton Streets. In recent years the Hall has been refurbished and it has a long history as a venue for community events. A future project for the Anzac Hall is the installation of suitable materials on the walls and ceiling to improve the building acoustics and overcome current problems with echoing. The 2012/2013 maintenance budget for this facility is $5,000 with income from hall hire being some $500 pa. Depreciation is $24,000 pa. The outdoor cinema is equipped with high quality projection equipment and is a unique and functional facility. In early 2012/2013 Council called for expressions of interest from community groups or individuals wishing to conduct Friday night screenings during the warmer months. Interested community groups will not be required to pay for use of the Outdoor Cinema and it is hoped that the Friday night screening will prove to be an excellent funding raising opportunity. Financial assistance will also be given in sourcing movies. Projects for Anzac Hall and Outdoor Cinema include:

7. Rural Transaction Centre/Library The Rural Transaction Centre occupies the old Mount Magnet Primary School building that was transferred to the Shire when the school relocated to new premises in 1990. This building, initially constructed in 1898, has been extensively modified over the years and is listed on the Heritage Council of Western Australia’s, Register of Heritage Places. To-day the Rural Transaction Centre houses the Public Library and a Youth Space. Up until March 2013 the Department of Mines and Petroleum leased part of the building on a temporary basis, pending construction of the a new Mining Registry Office. In 2011 a Conservation Plan was prepared for the Rural Transaction Centre by consultants Heritage and Conservation Professionals. The Conservation Plan identified a significant amount of work requiring attention with the highest short term priority being to re-stump the southern wall of the library section of the building and modify the drainage so that water is diverted away from the building supports. The Conservation Plan advises that this work may require removal of some windows and wall cladding, all of which should be done under the supervision of a Conservation Architect. The Plan also refers to the deteriorated condition of the verandah and internal floor boards many of which require replacement. The Conservation Plan highlights the poor state of repair of the building and the need for regular inspection and maintenance. In November 2012 an assessment of the repairs to the flooring required in the library section of the building was conducted. Based on this assessment and the 2011 Conservation Plan, an application for financial assistance has been lodged with Lotterywest. The estimated cost of the re-stumping and floor repairs is $156,000 of which 50% is being sought from Lotterywest. Along with the Council Chambers this is considered a very significant building which is part of the heritage of Mount Magnet. As such Council is committed to ensure the Rural Transaction Centre is maintained appropriately to ensure it is safe and functional for many years to come. The annual maintenance budget is some $20,000pa. Annual depreciation is $20,000. Projects for the Rural Transaction Centre include:

8. Old Hospital When the Mount Magnet Hospital was closed in the late 1990’s responsibility for the building was transferred to the Shire. Currently the various rooms in the building are occupied by the Mount Magnet Playgroup, and the Art and Craft Group. The building is in a very rundown condition and maybe beyond economic repair. In July 2012 Heritage Architect Stephen Carrick was engaged to prepare a Conservation Plan to enable an informed decision on the future of the building to be made. In September 2012 the architect visited Mount Magnet and preparation of Plan is currently in progress. The challenge for the future is to find suitable alternative accommodation for current users of the Old Hospital. As mentioned previously improvements to the functionality of existing buildings, such as the Recreation Centre and Rural Transaction Centre will be important in achieving this.

9. Pensioner Units In the 1986, as a joint venture with the Department of Housing, four pensioner units on Lot 42 Criddle Street were constructed. The Department’s contribution was the provision of the initial capital. Over the coming months it is expected that a formal agreement will be entered into with the Department of Housing that recognises their capital contribution. In recent years the demand for these units has fluctuated, however currently the units are fully occupied. Annual maintenance expenditure on the units is $8000. Rental income is some $5000. The units are in sound condition with future works involving the replacement of bathrooms and kitchens and internal painting. On a number of occasions during the development of Council’s Community Strategic Plan and this Corporate Business Plan residents have suggested the need for additional pensioner units. Full capital grant funding would be essential if new units are to be constructed. Capital projects for Pensioner Units include:

10. Staff Housing Council owns ten houses which are provided as accommodation for members of staff. Occupancy of the houses is as follows: Lot 43 Hepburn Street (CEO) Lot 151 Hepburn Street (Administration Assistant) Lot 157 Hepburn Street (Works Manager) Lot 226 Watson Street (Finance Manager) Lot 343 Laurie Street (Tourist Officer) Lot 397 Hepburn Street (Caravan Park) Lot 398 Hepburn Street (Pool Manager) Lot 452 Dowden Place (Leading Hand) Lot 453 Jensen Close (Administration Manager - Vacant) Lot 460 Jensen Close (GRAMS Doctor)

An annual provision of $25,000 is made for maintenance. Annual rental for non contracted staff is charged at a rate of $55 per week. Non contract staff also meet full utility costs. Under the Royalties for Regions Program the Shire of Cue, in conjunction with the Shires of Sandstone and Mount Magnet, has obtained funding to upgrade existing staff housing in each of these Shires. In the case of Mount Magnet the plan is to build new duplex accommodation on Lot 225 in Watson Street. It is anticipated that one of the duplex units when completed would be made available to a full time doctor employed by the Geraldton Regional Aboriginal Medical Service. The cost of the duplex accommodation, which will be of modular construction, is expected to be approximately $480,000 with funding of $397,000 coming from the Royalties for Regions Program and the balance funded by Council. A condition assessment of staff housing is currently being carried out, from which a four year capital works program will be determined. The capital budget for staff housing works is:

SECTION 4 - SERVICES The Shire of Mount Magnet delivers the following services: • Waste Collection/Landfill Operation • Library • Community Development/Community Events/Youth • Cemetery • Visitor Centre and Museum • Regulatory Services • Bush Fire Services • Mount Magnet Aerodrome • Caravan Park • Murchison Regional Vermin Council • Plant


1. Waste Collection and Landfill Operations A weekly kerbside waste collection service is available within the township of Mount Magnet. This service is operated on the basis of a three year contract that commenced in April 2012. The annual budget for waste collection is $103,000. Experience over the last few years has shown that recycling of cardboard, beverage containers and the like is not cost effective. The landfill at the end of Leap Year Road is operated by Council on the basis of a licence issued by the Department of Environment and Conservation. The operating position for waste collection and the landfill is as follows: Expenditure 2011/12

Commencing 1 July 2012 it was determined to increase waste collection charges to fully recover the cost of collection over a two year period. 2011/2012 charges were $195 per 240 litre bin. In 2012/2013 charges rose to $220 per 240 litre bin and in 2013/2014 charges will rise to $245 per 240 litre bin.

2. Library Services The Mount Magnet Public Library is located in the Rural Transaction Centre. The library provides internet based computing facilities that are available to the public on a fee for service basis. Prior to 30 June 2012 the Shire provided Centrelink Services through the Library. The failure of the Federal Department of Human Services to agree to meet the actual costs incurred in operating the Centrelink Agency made it impossible for Council to continue to provide this important service. The operating position for Library is as follows:

The library operates four hours per day, Tuesday to Friday inclusive. Patron numbers are modest averaging some 80 per month during the summer months increasing to over 110 per month during the cooler months of the tourist season.


Recent initiatives to increase patronage have included the implementation of “e books”, a process where books are available in electronic format and the waiving of long outstanding fines on the condition that rules of borrowing are adhered to in the future.

3. Community Development/Community Events/Youth Council’s organizational structure provides for the appointment of a Youth and Community Events Officer. Council employs two casual staff members in this role, one with a focus on the younger children and the other on youth. There is capacity to employ additional casual staff to provide other activities for young people. The role of the Youth and Community Events Officer is to: • Engage with Mount Magnet children/youth and organize sporting and other activities. • Co-ordinate community events. • Liaise with and assist community groups. • Oversee the operation of the Youth Centre. Ongoing support and funding for the following community events has been included in the four year budget: • Mount Magnet Festival/ Astro Fest • Family Fun Days • Australia Day • Cleanup Australia Day • Anzac Day • NAIDOC Week • Mount Magnet Races Provision to fully fund public liability insurance costs for community groups such as the Mount Magnet Seniors Group has been included in the four year budget. Other than the Royal Flying Doctor Service ($1,000) and St John Ambulance ($1,000) it is not proposed to make direct donations to community organisations after 30 June 2013. Provision of $5,000 will however be made in 2013/2014 to fund a community grant scheme under which community groups can apply for funding for activates/equipment that during the normal course of their operations they may be unable to afford. This will involve a simple application process with the award of community grants being determined by Elected Members.

It should be noted that 2011/2012 cost are for operations prior to the Centre being relocated to the Museum. Depreciation costs for the newly constructed Museum are $35,000 pa. The Mount Magnet Visitor Centre provides information to tourists travelling throughout the region and has the potential to significantly influence decisions made by holiday makers regarding their destination. Every opportunity will be taken to join with neighboring Councils and Tourism WA in the development of a regional approach to tourism that achieves better value for money and increases visitation to the region. Further it is considered that there is potential to gain significant revenue at the Visitor Centre by offering tourists a forward booking service. In 2013/2014 Council will join with the Shires of Yalgoo, Cue, Sandstone, Meekatharra and Murchison in the development of a Regional Tourism Strategy. The cost of the development of this strategy is estimated to be $80,000 with 50% of funding anticipated from the Federal Tourism Industry Regional Development Fund and 25% from the Mid West Development Commission. Individual council contributions will be $3,300 which has been provided in Council’s 2013/2014 administration consultancy budget. Projects at the Museum include:

Provisions of $15,000 in 2013/2014 has been made to enable a clean-up of the litter in the "Dolly Dump" area south of the township. The illegal dumping of rubbish in the area will be monitored by Council's Ranger and fines issued where ever possible. Planning projects included in the Capital Works program are as follows: There is a significant demand for industrial land in Mount Magnet, particularly with the recent upsurge in mining activity. Council has obtained planning approval to create seven light industrial blocks on crown land located at the end of Moses Street. Lot sizes vary from 2000 m² to 8393 m². The estimated cost of developing the seven lots is $860,000. As the land involved is crown land an application has been lodged under the Regional Development Assistance Program seeking development of the lots by Landcorp. An important component of Council’s application to Landcorp is a willingness to contribute financially and on this basis provision for a payment of $150,000 has been made. Bush Fire Services Until 2011/2012 the Shire of Mount Magnet went for many years without experiencing a significant bush fire. In January and November 2012 this situation changed with some major fires being experienced in the west and north of the Shire. Operational expenditure is as follows:

9. Murchison Regional Vermin Council The Murchison Regional Vermin Council (MRVC) is made up the Shires of Yalgoo, Sandstone, Cue, Meekatharra and Mount Magnet. The Shire of Mount Magnet provides administrative services to the MRVC and the Shire’s CEO is also the CEO of this regional council. The role of the MRVC is to manage, upgrade and maintain the No1 Vermin Fence and the No 2 Vermin Fence. The section of the No 1 Vermin Fence under the control of the MRVC commences at the 80 mile peg in the south near Lake Moore and ends at the 553 km mark in the north, at a location 20 km north of where the fence intersects the Kumarina/Wiluna Road. The No 2 Vermin Fence extends west from the No 1 Fence at the 394.4 km mark for a distance of 72 km following the northern boundary of the property Hillview. In 2010/2011 all the member shires of the MRVC along with the Shire of Wiluna agreed to make the upgrade of the No 1 Vermin Fence their regional Country Local Government Fund (CLGF) project for that year. As a consequence $1.557 Million in Royalties for Regions funding was obtained for the upgrade work. This upgrade work commenced in December 2011 and is scheduled for completion at the end of May 2013. On completion some 165 km of fencing will have been replaced, an amount well in excess of estimated length predicted in the project business case. At the end of 2012 Shire of Mount Magnet sought the support of Murchison councils for a further allocation of regional CLGF funding to carry out upgrade works on the No 2 Vermin Fence. As a result the Shires of Sandstone, Mount Magnet, Yalgoo, Cue and Wiluna have agreed to allocate $1.023 Million of 2012/2013 Regional Group CLGF funding to extend the length of the No 2 Vermin Fence by 100 km. A business case is currently being prepared for the allocation of these funds to the extension of the No 2 Vermin Fence for consideration by the Minister for Regional Development. The extension of the No 2 Vermin Fence by 100 km is part of a plan to construct 480 km of fencing that will join up with the State Barrier Fence to the west thus creating a Murchison Region Vermin Cell. When complete this Cell will encompass an area of 88,000 km² helping to protect over 50 pastoral properties from wild dog attack. Funding of some $4.8 million is currently being sought under the Mid West Development Commission’s Investment Plan for the completion of the Murchison Region Vermin Cell. Further it is believed important that Councils also commit some of their own funding to the Vermin Cell project as this would significantly strengthen the case for financial support to come from the Mid West Development Commission. To this end the Shire of Mount Magnet has allocated $50,000 to the project in 2013/2014 and 2114/2015 and agrees to the allocation of its share of regional 2012/2013 CLGF funding ($397,885) to the project. Council has also agreed to double precept payments to the MRVC in 2013/2014 and beyond to fund the sustainable maintenance of the No. 1 and No. 2 Vermin Fences. By all Councils working together it is it is considered reasonable to expect that capital funding of $4.8 Million could be obtained under the Mid West Development Investment Plan for the construction of the additional 380 km of fencing required to connect up with the State Barrier Fencing, thus creating the Murchison Region Vermin Cell.
