EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Biggenden and District Tennis Association Inc seek Council to take ownership of the Biggenden Tennis Courts and Clubhouse located at Lot 1 RP81921, Alice Street, Biggenden and write off outstanding rates on the land to the value of $5,677.82.

CORPORATE PLAN

OUR VISION: By 2030, the North Burnett will be a region of choice for people to live, work and play:

OUR ROLE:

A Provider

OUR PRIORITY AREAS:

2. Our happy, healthy and safe region

RECOMMENDATION

That Council:

1. Take ownership of the Biggenden Tennis Courts and Clubhouse located at Lot 1 RP81921, Alice Street, Biggenden and;

(a) Pay the Queensland Public Trustee fees to the value of $1,419.

(b) Write off outstanding rates on the property.

(c) Require Biggenden and District Tennis Association Inc to maintain responsibility of maintenance and improvement of the clubhouse, toilets and tennis courts (including lighting) at the premises.

(d) Note that Biggenden and District Tennis Association Inc are responsible for the connection of electricity to the site and ongoing associated electricity charges.

(e) Biggenden and District Tennis Association Inc will be charged for water consumption at the premises.

REPORT

The Biggenden and District Tennis Association Inc was incorporated in May 2018, following the cancellation of the previous association on 26 June 2014. The previous association was cancelled due to inactivity and not submitting their annual returns. As no resolution was passed by the previous association indicating what was to happen with the freehold land described as Biggenden

Page 14: Agenda of General Meeting - 5 00 2020...2020/02/05  · General Meeting Agenda 5 February 2020 Page 2 NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING To: Cr RL Chambers (Mayor) Cr FO Whelan (Deputy Mayor/Division

General Meeting Agenda 5 February 2020

Item 9.1 Page 14

Tennis Courts and Clubhouse located at Lot 1 RP81921, Alice Street, Biggenden, the land then fell to the Queensland Public Trustee.

In late 2019, the Biggenden and District Tennis Association Inc contacted Council to discuss ownership of the Biggenden Tennis Courts and Clubhouse, overdue rates on the land and the small clubs inability to pay rate costs if they were to take ownership of the land. Outstanding rates on the property sit at $5,688.47 (at 29 January 2020).

In order to continue operating a tennis club in Biggenden, the association seeks Council support to take ownership of the property, while the association operates it, undertakes maintenance on the courts and clubhouse, pays for water consumption and the connection of and ongoing electricity costs.

The process for Council to take ownership is to pay $1,419 to the Pubic Trustee for administration of this matter and supply a resolution that Council is willing to take title of the land. The Public Trustee will then vest the land in Council’s name.

The association has commenced making improvements to the site, having been awarded funding to paint the clubhouse and doing upgrades in the clubhouse kitchen area. The group are also fundraising through sausage sizzles and catering opportunities to get electricity re-connected and to fund further improvements. If Council were to take ownership of the land, the group will be in a position to commence applying for government grants to get further improvements including lighting upgrades on the courts to allow for night tennis, clubhouse enhancements and programs and events to get more locals involved in tennis.

The implication of Council not taking ownership of the premises is that the Biggenden and District Tennis Association Inc are not be willing to take possession, due to their inability as a small organisation to meet rates costs. This organisation is re-building itself and trying to get grassroots tennis active again in Biggenden. If the ownership of this land is not resolved, it may prevent the local community from having access to the sport of tennis in the future.

The Biggenden and District Tennis Association Inc’s proposed responsibilities at the premises would include:

Maintenance of the site, including mowing, asset improvements, furniture and fittings and court maintenance

Electricity connection and ongoing costs

Contents insurance for associations equipment and items

Paying water consumption costs

Other operational costs that may arise in operating a tennis club.

Implications to Council include a reduced rate based (rate costs are currently not being paid), increased depreciation costs from the asset and another asset on their property insurance. The site has been exempt from General Rates since August 2014. Foregone charges at 19/20 rates would include:

Water access $310.00

First pedestal $302.50

Second pedestal $245.00

Residential Garbage $145.00

Levy’s totalling $159.90

CONSULTATION

On 29 October 2019 Councils Community Engagement Manager and Sport and Recreation Officer met with the Biggenden and District Tennis Association Inc at the Biggenden Tennis Courts and Clubhouse to discuss the association’s plans, challenges and future direction.

Item 9.1 Page 15

RISK IMPLICATIONS

Reputation / Political

MEDIUM – A decision to not support the Biggenden and District Tennis Association Inc may have political implications.

Occupational Health & Safety (WHS)

LOW – The asset has been inspected by Council’s Building and Development Services 12 months ago, noting the poor condition of the clubhouse and need for repairs and maintenance.

Council will continue to work with this group going forward through our Sport and Recreation Officer.

Financial Impact

Legal & Regulatory

LOW – Ownership has been investigated by Preston Law to ensure all legal aspects are considered.

Authoriser: Tony Klein, General Manager Corporate and Community

Attachments: Nil

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report provides a summary of Council’s financial performance against budget for the financial year to 27 January 2020.

CORPORATE PLAN

OUR VISION: By 2030, the North Burnett will be a region of choice for people to live, work and play:

OUR ROLE:

A Provider

OUR PRIORITY AREAS:

5. Our efficient and effective council

RECOMMENDATION

That in accordance with s204 Local Government Regulation 2012, Council notes the Finance Report for the period ended 27 January 2020.

REPORT

The timing of the February ordinary Council meeting does not allow sufficient timing for a financial report to be prepared as at 31 January 2020. However, section 204(3) provides the ability to provide a report “for the period of the financial year up to a day as near as practicable to the end of the month before the meeting is held.”

Refer Attachment 1 for Statement of Comprehensive Income for 27 January 2020. No new significant variances have arisen during the month of January. The external workforce were in annual shutdown mode until part way through January with many of the internal workforce also on leave.

As previously discussed, the Workplace Sustainability project has ceased. This will have a material effect on the budget for 2019/20. At this stage the forecasted effect is approximately $850,000. Future updates to the Statement of Comprehensive Income are expected after the finalisation of the Business Improvement Partnership project with the Queensland Treasury Corporation.

In addition, the Council Civil Works section has undertaken approximately $1mil of minor works projects for TMR that were awarded to Council after the budget was adopted. This expenditure has been committed as at 27 January 2020, with the corresponding income of $1.1mil to be received by the end of Quarter 3.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

During the first part of the year, Council’s Civil Works section has focused on externally funded capital projects including TIDS, Roads to Recovery and the major projects listed in the key projects update. 58% of the year has elapsed with 45% of capital expenditure committed.

RECOMMENDATION

That Council considers the confidential report(s) listed below in a meeting closed to the public in accordance with Section 275(1) of the Local Government Regulation 2012:

14.1 Addition to Panel of Providers for Facilities Maintenance

This matter is considered to be confidential under Section 275(1) - h of the Local Government Regulation, and the Council is satisfied that discussion of this matter in an open meeting would, on balance, be contrary to the public interest as it deals with other business for which a public discussion would be likely to prejudice the interests of the local government or someone else, or enable a person to gain a financial advantage.
