10.6 Community Services Report – Prepared by Gavin Blinman Kindergartens All kindergartens are holding AGM meetings this month, enrolments are up on last year. Warracknabeal will move back to 5 days per week with numbers just under 40 at the moment. Murtoa numbers are also backed up. Other kindergartens look to be around the same as this year. Staff have completed compulsory training elements for the year and I am updating fee and other policy information for next year. The new Early Years Plan is on track for presentation to council in February and councilors are reminded to give feedback to me or Glenda Hewitt in the next month on the new plan. Environmental Health / Local Laws – Prepared by Tim Rose, Craig Byron Council has continued to inspect a number of food businesses across the Shire where good levels of compliance have been observed. Several food samples have been submitted over the period, focusing on areas of concern, where Council is currently awaiting the results. Council received two food related complaints, both of a non serious nature. The complaints were investigated and Council is satisfied that there is no continued breach of the Food Standards Code. Council received an onsite wastewater complaint in Hopetoun. The property in question has been investigated and brought to the attention of GWM Water due to reticulated sewerage being available. The matter was raised with the owners and GWM have reported that the matter is likely to be resolved over the next couple of weeks. This resolution will eliminate the public health concern in regard to the wastewater. All BGA inspections have been completed across the Shire. Visual inspections have not revealed any indicators of BGA in the lakes or weir pools. The likelihood of a BGA bloom increases with temperature, therefore, these areas will be monitored closely over the summer period. Council was represented at the annual mosquito management training course offered by the Department of Health and Human Services. The course covered specific detail around mosquito species, breeding, control, complaint investigation and relevant diseases of public health concern.
• 5 x Dogs were impounded, owners were located and animals were released after Pound Fees and registration fees were paid.
• 3 of these dogs were surrendered and not registered. Have rehoused 2 of them.

• Ongoing cat cage requests. Getting quite a few feral cats coming from Minyip
and Rupanyup.
• Several barking dog complaints attended to and investigated.
• Fire prevention property inspections have been completed for whole of Shire. Notices have been issued to property owners with a compliance date of 3 weeks from the date of issue. Reinspections have been done at Woomelang, Lascelles, Speed, Patchewollock and Hopetoun. Our contractor Shorty Holland has already started cleaning up the non-compliant properties.
Aged and Disability – Prepared Lisa Dunkley CHSP/VIC HACCPYP In the last month we have employed two new Community Support Carers. Throughout the year, our care workers have had training in Dementia, First Aid, Medication Updates, Enabling Environments, Skin Conditions and OH&S. At the end of this month all Cart teams throughout the Shire will attend a training session on Relief Centres, how to set up and be prepared for the following hot season ahead. Assessment Officer Report – Prepared by Bronwen Clayton New referrals for assessment: 21 All from My Aged Care (clients over 65) for Home Support Assessment
• Large increase in referrals. From 1st October all people over 65 wanting to access CHSP funded nursing and Allied Health need to go through MAC and have a RAS assessment – overwhelming increase to assessor workload. Now have a large waiting list for assessments – issue around timeliness of assessment and implementation of required service for clients. Concern that clients are now having multiple assessments and needing to give the same information numerous times, when we have been working hard to minimise this in the past. Issues raised with regional team.
• Continue to input data of all daily activities in RAS role – this is helping to highlight time spent liaising with service providers and clients outside of direct Regional Assessment role – this data is sent monthly to HACC department.

• Bronwen attended the Warracknabeal Show as part of the Seasons of
Wellness Team – to publicise the upcoming SOW events (see below) and discuss My Aged Care, new assessment process and how to access services. 17 direct contacts with people – information provided. Valuable networking with RNH Wellness team around referral processes for CHSP services.
• Bronwen spoke at 3 Seasons of Wellness events in Warracknabeal (27
attendees), Beulah (7 attendees) and Hopetoun (30 attendees). Sessions were aimed at demystifying how to access My Aged Care, services and residential aged care. All sessions were very successful with lots of questions and discussion. Presentation by financial group was very helpful for many people.
Email feedback from Financial Group that attended from Swan Hill: “On behalf of Arthur and myself, thank you for asking us to be a part of the Seasons of Wellness series”. The turnout was great, and we thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. Arthur and I both agree that you have a fantastic community of caring people, willing to assist those in need; we are very happy to be a part of it. We look forward to seeing you more often in the near future!

10.7 Infrastructure Services Report - Prepared by Bernie Naylor Contract C219/2017 Supply and Delivery of One (1) Grader
Council advertised contract C219/2017 being the Supply and Delivery of One (1) Grader for the Northern Works Area on the 21st September, 2017 through Tenderlink.
Tenders for the above-mentioned contract closed at 2.00pm on Friday the 20th October, 2017.
Council received 3 submissions for the tender which will be evaluated by Council at the November Closed Session. Free Green Waste Days
Council once again conducted an annual Free Green Waste disposal day from the 31st October to the 5th November, 2017.
It was extremely successful with all transfer stations reporting good numbers turning up to dispose of their Green Waste. The Warracknabeal Transfer Station received over 180 loads of green waste.
As discussed at the last Council forum, it was proposed in 2018 the free Green Waste period will be for two weeks in both May and October.
Managing E-Waste in Victoria
As reported to Council the State Government will be banning E-Waste as from July 2018.
A Government Assessment Group have visited the Yarriambiack Shire Council to assess Council’s requirements to implement the ban. Council has advised the Assessment Group that we will require facilities at Hopetoun, Warracknabeal and Murtoa.
An amount of $1.5 million has been allocated for the three year state wide education and awareness campaign.
$15 million has been allocated to design and provide an E-Waste infrastructure program to assist Councils with infrastructure improvements to implement the E-Waste Ban. Hopetoun Swimming Pool
Almost all swimming pools in the shire are about ready for the swimming season except for the Hopetoun Pool.
While the filling procedure commenced we have found that the main shell is not holding water.

Following an inspection and analysis it has been determined that all the seals in the floor joints have opened up and the old sealant will need to be removed and replaced. This should be completed within the next week.
Grain Bags
As to date Council has received approx 15 tonne of Grain Bags at the Warracknabeal Transfer Station.
We transported our first load to the recyclers, which was unfortunately rejected as they were extremely dirty and contained a large amount of grain.
It is very disappointing that this has occurred as the Waste Management Group conducted a comprehensive education program to ensure that the delivered bags would be clean.
Through the Waste Management Group it appears that another recycler may have been found who will be able to deal with the grain bags we have at the transfer station. Asset Engineer – Prepared by Michael Evans Assets

• Sale held Oct 25th Total Sold = 4,794 Head This was the final sale to be held for 2017. A total of 109,173 head were sold over 19 sales resulting in an “average” price per head of $161.74. for this calendar year. By any means this proves our facility provides a very important service for the producers to obtain great prices for their stock. Between now and March 31st 2018 subject to approval of the recent Phase 2 grant submission, various works will be carried out by contractors to supply/ install power, concrete, scanning equipment and software for the reading of electronic ear tags. The formation of a consultative committee will also take place to assist with the planning required for any alterations needed with the introduction of the scanning equipment. No doubt, issues will arise during the next sale season and more changes needed as a result, so this committee which is made up of user group representatives along with Council Management can also plan to introduce those changes as required.

Technical Officer – Prepared by Nathan McLean The Local Roads to Market Program - Round 2 is currently open until November 30th 2017. The objective of this program is to improve the competitiveness of the agriculture sector by upgrading local roads and bridges to enable and improve safer access for heavy vehicles transporting livestock, produce and other agricultural products to market. The Yarriambiack Shire Council has identified 5 local roads to apply for funding which meet the selection criteria. From this we have requested and received letters of support from local producers, processors, transport companies and/or other agricultural businesses in the region that will benefit from the project.

11.5 Gravelling of Riding Boundary Road - prepared by Michael Evans Council has received a letter from Paul & Tim Petering of Murtoa requesting consideration be given to the gravelling of Rurades Road, Holtkamps Road and Riding Boundary Road, which goes past Chapmans Pit down to Coorong Swamp Road.
This is the 3rd time this request has been put before Council. In 2009 Council denied the request to upgrade the sections of road based on the fact that it didn’t meet Hierarchy policy, as it was a secondary farm and the cost was too high to justify for the amount of traffic on the road. On the 23rd of November 2016, the same request was presented to Council with the same result (Correspondence attached).
The distance of travel between their various farming properties by the direct route (Riding Boundary Road) is approximately 3 kms, however according to Mr Petering the route is impassable in wet weather – the alternative route is a distance of 20 kilometres.
The Petering’s have developed a grain and hay storage facility on Ruwoldt’s Road and is looking at the prospect of installing a weighbridge at the operation to avoid putting overloaded trucks on the road.
Mr Petering has also again advised that several other farming enterprises in the area use this road for north to south commuting and would also be of great benefit to them too. The road would keep wide heavy farming equipment off the main roads during the wet making them safer.
On this submission, Paul & Tim Petering are prepared to pay 50% for the works required to lift the standard of the road to an all-weather access road. They would like to have the works completed in autumn 2018 and would be prepared to carry the Shire share until the new financial year in July 2018, as they understand that this current budget is already set.
The cost of the project according to the Petering’s, would cost $81,000 using Gre Gre from Bakers, with Glover Earthworks carrying out the works.
Riding Boundary Road is currently classed as a Rural Access Road with a natural surface (RA6) Council’s Estimation of Costs Green fields -Based on the distance requiring gravelling of approximately 1500m and 4 metres wide, with an imported gravel base, it is estimated the cost of bringing this road up to a required standard will be $50,659. Re-sheeting the existing gravel resulting from the flood damage – distance of 1500m and 4 metres wide, with imported gravel, it is estimated the cost of the re-sheet will be $26,100, Total $76,759.

COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 22 NOVEMBER 2017

Council would still incur the ongoing maintenance costs if the request is approved. These costs are unknown and could be high due to the proposed heavy vehicle traffic that would use the roads as outlined in the letter. If the heavy vehicle use is high as described, the cycle life of the gravel would be shorter than normal and Council will end up re-sheeting the road on a more regular basis. If Council agrees to 50% percent of the costs that is the equivalent of two gravel re-sheets in the next capital works program. If the request is approved, the road would have to be classified as a Special Purpose Road (SP2) as it does not meet policy due to the fact it is their secondary farm. Council might like to consider the following options; Option 1 Under this option the road would stay as a Rural Access secondary (RA6)-earthen road on the road Hierarchy but the surface would be gravelled. Council asks for the Petering’s to pay all costs for the gravel surface and organise the contractor to carry out the works under Council control. When the surface reaches the end of its life the financial cost for renewal would be reviewed at the time. Option 2 Council consider a cost sharing arrangement of 75% for the Petering’s and 25% cost for Council, with the contractor to carry out the works under Council control. With this option the road would have to become a Special Purpose (SP2) category road. Option 3 Agree to the Petering’s request of a 50% contribution to upgrading the road. Option 4 That the Yarriambiack Shire Council denies the request due to the cost, Council will still incur ongoing maintenance costs and that it does not meet Council policy. Recommendation That the Yarriambiack Shire Council denies the request due to the cost, Council will still incur ongoing maintenance costs and that it does not meet Council policy. Moved Cr T Hamilton seconded Cr C Heintze that the road stays as a Rural Access secondary (RA6)-earthen road on the road Hierarchy but the surface would be gravelled (Option 1). Council asks for the Petering’s to pay all costs for the gravel surface and organise the contractor to carry out the works under Council control. When the surface reaches the end of its life the financial cost for renewal would be reviewed at the time (Option 1).

11.7 Final Draft Mallee Floodplain Management Strategy – Prepared by James Magee Purpose To seek endorsement of the Final Draft Mallee Floodplain Management Strategy (FMS) and Regional Works Plan
Policy context The Victorian Floodplain Management Strategy (VFMS) requires Catchment Management Authorities (CMAs) to develop and periodically review Regional Floodplain Management Strategies, in partnership with Local Government Authorities, Victoria State Emergency Services and their local communities. The overarching purpose of the Regional Strategies is to provide a single, regional planning document for floodplain management and a high level regional work program to guide future investment priorities.
Background A steering committee was established in October 2016 to oversee the development of the Mallee FMS. Members of the steering committee included representatives from the following organisations:
• Mildura Rural City Council; • Swan Hill Rural City Council; • Buloke Shire Council; • Yarriambiack Shire Council; • Hindmarsh Shire Council; • VicSES • Lower Murray Water; • GWMWater; • Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (observer only);
and • Mallee Catchment Management Authority
Key tasks undertaken in the development of the strategy have included the following:
• Public consultation on community identified risks including local flood behaviour, important infrastructure that may be impacted by flooding, and any flood mitigation works that could reduce risks and/or impacts.
• Production of a regional risk assessment report to inform the prioritisation of floodplain management activities.
• Workshops to identify existing flood mitigation strategies under two main themes: land use planning and flood mitigation infrastructure.
YARRIAMBIACK SHIRE COUNCIL
COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES 22 NOVEMBER 2017
M 22 11 2017 .docx 59
• Workshops to evaluate flood risks, including considering any existing
service levels in place to mitigate flood risk, any gaps in service levels, the priority for consideration and the priority for action over the next three years.
• Workshops to determine lead agencies, delivery partners, approximate cost and timeframes for each priority action in the Regional Works Plan.
• Release of a ‘public consultation’ draft of the Mallee FMS to facilitate stakeholder and broader community feedback on the Strategy
A public consultation draft of the Mallee FMS was endorsed by the Steering Committee Organisations and released for stakeholder and broader community comment on the 11 September 2017. Promotion of the public consultation period included:
• Articles in local media, on the Mallee CMA Website and in social media posts;
• Targeted emails to stakeholder and community group representatives; • Presentations to community advisory committees and organisations
represented on the Mallee FMS Steering Committee.
The public consultation period closed on 6 October, with only minor comments received. This feedback was considered by the Steering Committee at their 24 October meeting, with agreed changes made to the Final Draft Mallee FMS.
Comments A copy of the Final Draft Mallee FMS and the Regional Works Plan is provided as tabled Pending endorsement by all steering committee organisations, the Final Draft Mallee FMS and the Regional Works Plan will be submitted to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning in December for Ministerial approval.
Recommendation That Council endorse the Final Draft Mallee Floodplain Management Strategy and Regional Works Plan. Moved Cr T Hamilton seconded Cr H Ballentine that Council endorse the Final Draft Mallee Floodplain Management Strategy and Regional Works Plan.
