grown. The Shire will have economic development strategies recognising the different

circumstances of urban and rural areas.”

“Junee will be a place where innovative, responsive leadership and management occurs in all

facets of community life.”

Introduction On behalf of Junee Shire Council, we are pleased to present the draft Delivery Program and Operational Plan for the period 2017/21. This is the fifth Delivery Program and Operational Plan presented by Council under the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework (IPR) mandated by the State Government.

Each newly elected Council is required to prepare a new Delivery Program for a four year cycle, to align with the local councillor election cycle. This alignment will ensure that the Council of the day is accountable for its own plan.

The draft Delivery Program and Operational Plan provides a summary of the principal activities and actions that the Council intends to undertake for the next four years. It details the newly elected Council’s response to the community engagement that occurred across the shire throughout November 2016 to February 2017 which delivered the Community’s Strategic Plan ‘Making Tracks’.

Essentially, the Delivery Program is the doing document and lists the major actions and tasks that the Council can resource to give life to the expectations contained in ‘Making Tracks’.

The Combined Delivery Program and Operational Plan is only part of the planning process and should be read in conjunction with the Long Term Financial Plan, Asset Management Strategy and Workforce Plan to understand what is required to achieve long term financial sustainability.

We also prepare an annual report each November that provides information to the Community on how well the Council performed in the previous financial year.

The draft Delivery Program and Operational Plan are on public exhibition across the shire from the 18 May to 16 June and we would welcome your comment during this period.

Cr Neil Smith Mr James Davis MAYOR GENERAL MANAGER

What is the Delivery Program? The Delivery Program forms part of Junee Shire Council’s Integrated Planning and Reporting (IPR) framework. This framework aims to draw our various plans together, to assist in understanding how they interact and to get maximum leverage from our efforts by planning holistically for the future.

Junee Shire Council’s Integrated Planning and Reporting framework comprises the following key elements:

Community Strategic Plan ‘Making Tracks’ – identifies the community’s main priorities and aspirations for the future and outlines strategies for achieving these goals. It has a long-term outlook of 10 to 20 years.. Each newly elected Council must complete a review of its Plan by 30 June in the year following the local government elections and roll the planning forward by at least four years so - that it is always a minimum 10 year plan. Junee Shire Council’s current Community Strategic Plan was adopted on 16 May 2017.

Combined Delivery Program and Operational Plan – describes the activities and actions the Council will undertake over the next four years to achieve its long term goals and outcomes. It is accompanied by Financial Estimates to support the delivery of those services and projects. A Delivery Program must be prepared by 30 June in the year following a local government ordinary election. The Operational Plan lists the actions to be completed over the ensuing 12 month period. It is reviewed and adopted by the 30 June each year. Financial information for the four year rolling cycle 2017/2021 is contained in the Junee Shire Council Financial Estimates contained in Part 2 of this document.

Annual Report – provides the community with a detailed account of what was achieved each year and the progress made towards the implementation of the Combined Delivery Program Operational Plan and Community Strategic Plan. This report must be completed within five months of the end of the financial year. It is designed to be a report card on achievements to the community. Draf

Corporate Governance

Corporate Governance and Councillors

Councillors are responsible for effecting corporate governance. They are required to ensure that management’s direction is aligned with the interests of the community it represents, along with the dependent organisations with which it interrelates, and with legislation under which Council is required to operate.

As elected representatives, the community relies on Councillors to lead, direct and govern the activities of Council on their behalf. This is achieved by monitoring the processes under which Council operates in order to:

• Exercise power over the direction of Council;

• Exercise concern for the effect of Council decisions on other parties;

• Supervise and control executive actions;

• Ensure Council is accountable for its functions; and

• Ensure that Council activities comply with the law.

Monitoring Organisational Performance

The process of monitoring the performance of Junee Shire Council is conducted in two ways. Firstly, the General Manager must ensure that progress reports are provided to the Council on its performance with respect to the activities and actions detailed the Combined Delivery Program Operational Plan, every six months.

Secondly, a review of the Financial Estimates in the form of a Quarterly Budget Review Statement are required to be presented to Council within two months of the end of the September, December and March quarters.

Community Strategic Plan

In June 2009, Junee Shire Council adopted its first Community Strategic Plan; "making tracks", A Community Strategic Plan for the Junee Shire to 2020. Its adoption followed comprehensive engagement with our community over an extended period. Since that time the Plan has subsequently been reviewed and readopted in April 2013, and more recently, following the Local Government elections in September 2016 the Plan has been reviewed again and readopted in May 2017.

"making tracks" was developed in accordance with the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework mandated by the NSW Government for all Local Government authorities. The Plan is the highest level plan that a Council prepares and identifies the Community’s aspirations for the future.

In the development of this Plan, four major themes were identified. Under each theme two Strategic Objectives were determined and Strategies developed. It is these community-based issues that form the basis of the Council’s Combined Delivery Program Operational Plan activities and actions.

How will we measure the community’s expectation identified in the Community Strategic Plan?

Under each major theme, the Community Strategic Plan identifies a number of strategies the Council will implement. Key performance measures to indicate the progress of the Council towards the achievements of these initiatives are reported periodically to the community.

Themes

Theme 1 - Liveable – with strategies focussed on our community being healthy and active; and for our Shire being a great place to live. Strategies include catering for our ageing population; creating opportunities and valuing people with a disability; and supporting our youth. Strategies to enable viable locations and villages and build on our heritage are also included within this theme.

Theme 2 - Prosperous – with strategies to grow our economy and be a resilient community able to adapt for the future. This theme and objectives recognise the strengths and opportunities for our economy to grow in particular around tourism and business sector opportunities in the region. Strategies address planning our land resources and infrastructure for a growing population. The strategies within this theme also acknowledge the need to adapt to a rapidly changing future.

Draft

Theme 3 - Sustainable – with strategies to ensure harmony between our community, built and natural environment; and strategies that manage our human, built and financial resources wisely. The strategies talk specifically to being accountable and financially sustainable; about embracing energy efficiency; and reducing, reusing and recovering waste.

Theme 4 - Collaborative – with strategies concerned with keeping the community engaged and connected; and working together to achieve the goals and aspirations that we have planned together. The strategies involve subjects including communication and information; the importance of volunteers; and working in partnership. This theme also includes a strategy to ensure that representative, responsive and accountable community governance and leadership are forthcoming.

Hints on how to read the strategies and actions in the following tables

The tables in this Combined Delivery Program Operational Plan 2017/18 have been designed to link to the four major Themes (4) and Strategic Initiatives (29) listed in the Community Strategic Plan "making tracks" 2035 - A Community Strategic Plan for the Junee Shire.

For each Strategic Initiative there are a number of Delivery Program Principal Activities (DP Activities) which describe what the Council aims to deliver over the next four years. The Principal Activities are supported by planned Actions (OP Actions) and corresponding Performance Measures.

The Combined Delivery Program and Operational Plan includes all the strategic initiatives in the Community Strategic Plan, some of which have shared responsibilities and rely on the goodwill of external community lead organisations and committees or indeed other government agents. Draf

Commentary on Delivery Program 2017-21 & Operational Plan

2017-18

In this commentary the key features of the Delivery Program 2017-2021 and Operational Plan

2016-17 are outlined. The budget is constructed on a number of assumptions and they are set out

in this section of the Delivery Program and Operational Plan.

This four year budget, in simple terms, sees the maintenance of existing service levels for Junee

Shire residents. Over six years, significant effort has been put into making operations more

efficient. These efficiencies have reduced the impact of the loss in revenue as a result of the

freezing of the Federal Assistance Grant. The Government announced the lifting of the freeze in

the Budget announced on 9 May 2017. An adjustment has been made but it will not make up for

the impact of the three year freeze.

The plan includes improved capital expenditure in the roads budgets as a result of increased

revenue from the Special Rates Variation approved by the Office of Local Government in 2014.

Draft

Key Features

● General rates income increased by 1.5% in 2017-18 as set by the Independent Pricing and

Regulatory Tribunal (IPART).

● Sewer Charges see an increase of 7% in 2017-18 following the imposed freeze by Council to

ease the initial impacts of the SRV. Increases of 7% for Years 2 and 3 and increase of 5% per

annum for Years 4 have been factored into the plan.

● Waste Charges are increasing by 5.0% for 2017-18 and Years 2 and 3 and by 3% for Year 4.

● The full year charge for the new organics kerbside collection will be applied to rate notices

this year. The rate has been set at $55 per annum. In addition the 2017/18 rate notice will

include the pro-rata charge for the service that commenced early 2017. This pro-rata charge

will be based on the adopted fee of $52 for 2016/17.

● The projected results for 2016/17 have been used as the base for the development of this

budget.

● Infrastructure & Services - Maintained with expenditure of road renewals improved. This has

the effect of reducing the asset condition backlog meaning that less road assets will be below

a satisfactory condition. The Council meets the Infrastructure Backlog Ratio Benchmark of

less than 2%.

● Organisational Staffing Levels - Maintain existing staffing levels within period of review.Draft

OPERATING INCOME

Rates and Annual Charges

General Rate Revenue

General rates will increase by 1.5% in 2017-18. This rate has been set by the Independent Pricing

and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART)

In the years beyond rate increases are modelled at 3.0%.

Waste Management Charges

An increase of 5.0% is planned for 2017-18 and the following 2 years and an increase of 3% for

year 4 of the plan.

The organics waste collection fee has been set at $55 per annum.

The LTFP models the Waste Management service area separately and shows it is financially

sustainable.

Sewer Charges

The LTFP allows for a 7% increase in charges for 17/18, 18/19 and 19/20 and then 5% for 20/21.

This will enable a catch-up of the revenue forgone in the three years of special general rate

increases and also allows for the build-up of reserves in to cover the costs of the major renewal of

the Sewer Treatment Works in 2017-18

The LTFP models the Sewerage Fund separately and shows it is financially sustainable.

User Charges and Fees

The majority of Council’s fees and charges have been indexed by 3% in each of the next ten

financial years.

Draft

Financial Assistance Grants

In May 2017 the Federal Government announced the lifting of the freeze on Financial Assistance

Grants (FAG) that has been in place for the past three years. For the LTFP we have assumed a 2%

increase in 2017-18 and a 2.5% per annum increase for the subsequent years. Council will not be

advised the new figure until late June 2017.

Operating Grants

In the majority of cases they have been kept at 2016-17 levels either because of current

information or because of a lack of information about expected increases. Those grants that we

have solid information on have been adjusted accordingly.

Interest Revenues

Interest on investments attributed to the General Fund are estimated to be $15K in 2017-18 and

then they have been fixed at $15K per year over the remaining years of the LTFP with the view

that available funds for investment will be reduced and interest will remain at their current low

levels.

Other Revenue

Other revenue sources have been individually modelled in the LTFP.

OPERATING EXPENDITURE

Employee Costs

Employee costs include salaries, wages and employee leave entitlements. The current Local

Government Award is currently being renegotiated. For the purpose of the budget salaries have

been individually modelled and allow for a 3.0% increase for 2017/18 and 2.25% from 2018/19

onwards. No increase or decrease in staff numbers has been factored into the model.

Draft

Materials and Contractor Costs

Generally, Materials and Contracts have been indexed by 2.0%. More specifically the following

adjustments were made:

• Rural Fire Service net cost estimated to be higher from 2017/18 onwards.

• Due to the changing landscape for both External and Internal Audit an increase of $20,000

per annum has been factored in over previous years.

• Maintenance on unsealed rural roads has been increased by $50K per annum.

Depreciation

Depreciation expenses have been indexed upwards by 2.0% per year from 2018/19. Depreciation

expenses involve a number of considerations including acquisition of new assets versus renewal of

assets, review of remaining useful lives, residual values, and re-valuations each five years.

Other Expenses

Other Expenses have been specifically modelled in the budget. They typically have a 1.5%

indexation applied to them.

Borrowing Costs

Specific modelling for the repayment of Interest on Loans has occurred. For loans associated with

Land Development, this is based on the estimated amount of the borrowing, the year in which it

occurred and at an interest rate of 6% as an average across the 10 year time frame of the LTFP.

Council's other major loan is an Indexed Annuity Bond with a 30 year life. The interest rate used

for this form of borrowing is based on CPI movements each quarter. The annual CPI rate

assumed in this calculation is 2.5%.

In the Rural Sealed roads service area the Council acquired a subsidised interest loan of $1M in

2014 for a ten year period. The loan interest rate is 5.616% with an interest subsidy from the

State Government of 3% has been allowed for.

In 2016-17 a loan of $380K was taken out for capital works at the Recreation Centre Loan

repayments are factored in to commence from 2017-18 at an interest rate of 3.7%.

Draft

For 2017/18 the following loans have been planned for:

• $600K for the development of Stage 7 of John Potts Drive. The loan would be an interest

only loan (allowed 5% interest rate) and will be paid down as blocks of land are sold.

• $4.3M for the upgrade of the STP. For modelling purposes we have assumed an interest

rate of 6%. The plan allows for the loan to be paid back over 30 years. The interest rate

will likely change over the period of the loan and will be adjusted in the LTFP updates as

required.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE AND INCOME

A Capital Works Program has been determined with decisions made as to what are the priority

assets to renew.

Land Development

The land development section of Council’s budget has been re-modelled. It now allows for the

sale of 14 lots in 17/18, 12 lots in 18/19, 5 lots in 19/20, 5 lots in 20/21. The current plan does not

allow for any additional development of land following John Potts Stage 7. As has been the

Council’s practice, development costs are borrowed and paid off in lumps as blocks sell .

Major Projects over the span of the DPOP

• Sewerage Treatment works Upgrade - $8,220,000 (17/18)

• Improvements to Laurie Daley Oval facilities - $1,145,000 (17/18)

• Athenium Theatre - Stage Lighting - $35,000 (18/19)

• Athenium Theatre - Heating/Cooling - $550,000 (19/20)

• Village Amenity improvements - $60,000 (17 to 21)

• Junee Transfer Station compactus - $80,000 (18/19)

The first four items are subject to grant funding.

It is the Council’s policy that all plant hired will be operated by an employee of the Council, i.e. the Council will not ‘dry hire’ any item of plant.

Where works are undertaken outside of normal working hours, an overtime loading shall apply.

Similarly, where works are undertaken as a call-out (irrespective of the duration) or on short notice, a loading shall apply.

Private Works will be undertaken either as a ‘do and charge’ or on a quote basis and this applies to labour, plant and materials.

INTRODUCTION

Aim

A strong, diverse, committed and motivated workforce is at the core of any successful business. Getting the right people into the right jobs is paramount and requires a commitment to attract, develop, retain and recognise talented and motivated employees who are aligned with our Vision and Values.

Junee Shire Council is a multi-faceted organisation, with a number of functions and operations. Accordingly, we require a diverse workforce that is capable of delivering positive outcomes for the organisation and to help us grow the community. We are however faced with many challenges; including a large proportion of our existing workforce nearing retirement and recruiting the next generation of skilled specialist staff.

We need to ensure our staff are ‘fit for the future’ so that we can deliver our community’s priorities. We need to involve our staff and support them in learning new ways of working.

This Workforce Management Strategy aims to support Junee Shire Council in achieving the skilled, motivated, flexible and diverse workforce it needs, to deliver value for money services that make a difference to our local community, while at the same time maintaining our position as an employer of choice.

Workforce Planning Benefits

It is anticipated that this Strategy will deliver the following benefits:

• Identification and reduction of potential skills shortages earlier than might otherwisebe the case.

• Development of workforce skills that take time to grow.

• Recruitment and development of staff to meet future needs

• Improvement of efficiency, effectiveness and productivity.

• Response to changes in the labour market.

• Appropriate steps to retain and strengthen Council’s workforce for delivery ofservices.

• Identification of staff development needs.

• Job satisfaction.

• Identification of potential problems and management of risk.

Draft

This Workforce Management Strategy is one of the resourcing strategies that address the requirements in the Community Strategic Plan (CSP). In doing so, it is informed by the CSP especially the Council’s Vision and Values.

Vision

“Junee will be a great place to live, with a healthy civic pride. That will come about because the amenity of the shire – social, recreational, cultural, environmental and visual – is the best quality possible given our circumstances. There will be an increase in population because of this, with the increase made up of people who are net contributors to the community.”

“Junee will be prosperous and existing services and businesses will have been preserved and grown. The shire will have economic development strategies recognising the different circumstances of urban and rural areas.”

“Junee will be a place where innovative, responsive leadership and management occurs in all facets of community life.”

“It will be an independent Local Government area with a strong sense of identity.”

Values

Proud and welcoming – we are proud of our shire and as a friendly community we encourage and support new residents and business owners.

Innovative and progressive – we welcome new ideas and we seek to make changes that will improve the lifestyle of our community.

Inclusive – we have a perspective broader than the shire boundary; our regional focus means we are tuned to the opportunities available through co-operation and partnerships.

Leadership and wisdom – we listen and act; we are prepared to take tough decisions in the best interests of the future of our people, our place and our economy.

Draft

FRAMEWORK

The Workforce Plan must complement the other resourcing strategies within the Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework.

• Community Strategic Plan – identifies the community’s main priorities and aspirationsfor the future and outlines strategies for achieving these goals.

• Combined Delivery Program and Operational Plan – describes the activities andoutlines the details of the specific projects we will undertake over the next four years toachieve our long term goals and outcomes.

The Workforce Management Strategy, together with the Council’s Asset Management Strategy, Asset Management Plans and Long Term Financial Plan, provide the resources necessary to achieve the Delivery Program.

The Workforce Management Strategy aligns with and supports Junee Shire Council’s other key planning documents to ensure that we have a capable, professional, engaged and sustainable workforce, in order to deliver on our commitments to the community. The Workforce Management Strategy is designed to cover a rolling four-year period, however it also focuses on specific outcomes required in the next 12 months.

JUNEE SITUATION

Junee Shire is a rural shire of 6327 people and 2031 square kilometres on the South West Slopes of New South Wales. The township of Junee is 41 kilometres from Wagga Wagga. The Junee township has a population of 4385 including the inmate population of the Junee Correctional Centre of 750. There are four villages: Bethungra, Illabo, Old Junee and Wantabadgery.

Junee is not typical of rural shires in New South Wales. That is, because of the proximity of the Shire to Wagga Wagga, the rural sector does not rely on the township for services to the same extent as happens in shires more remote from regional centres. The notion of the “sponge centre” is very evident in our case. But the proximity also has substantial recruiting attraction and other advantages which Junee has benefited from.

Junee Shire Council must take note of the changing labour market environment, even if it has seemed remarkably immune to it up until now. There is a growing trend around us of people being more nomadic throughout their working life and the recruitment, training and most productive employment has assumed a much greater importance in the delivery of services by local government to the Community.

ORGANISATION

Junee Shire Council has four departments: Executive Services, Community and Business Services, Finance and Administration Services and Engineering Services. The General Manager and the three Directors make up the Management Team.

The Council has determined the following Service Areas within each Directorate: Draft

WORKFORCE PROFILE

Junee Shire Council employs some 75 across its diverse range of functional areas.

The status levels as at April 2017 were as follows:

Status Number of Staff Permanent Fulltime 50 Permanent Part-time 7 Apprentices/Trainees 4 Casuals 14 TOTAL 75

Notes:

• Three school based trainees are currently engaged with Council and are undertakingthe following qualifications.- Cert. II - Business Administration- Cert. II – Information Technology (IT)- Cert. II – Sport and Recreation

• One full time trainee - Asset Management and Financial Accountant

• All but one of the casual staff are Recreation Centre staff; the other is at the library.

• The part-time staff are from the Administration Office (2), Recreation Centre (2),Library (1) and Family Day Care (2).

Crude analysis indicates:

• The proportion of females as part of overall workforce is relatively low at 31%.

• The proportion of females as part of the full-time workforce is even lower at 20%.

• All part-time positions are held by females.

• The age profiles upwards to 64 for males and 62 for females; there is no bell-curveeffect as can be found in other councils. What might be seen as a predictable outflowfrom the workforce is tempered by different circumstances including superannuation.

Draft

• The full-time workforce is age-grouped as follows:

Overall Male Female

< 20 years 0 0 0

21 – 25 1 1 0

26 – 30 1 1 0

ISSUES

Gender Balance

It is highly desirable to increase the proportion of women in the workforce with the full gamut of EEO characteristics, and trying to recruit for non-traditional functions. The trouble is there are very few recruiting opportunities at all, let alone opportunities for innovative recruitment.

Strategy: To recruit women to positions whenever opportunities occur, other things being equal. Specifically target female demographic by identifying specific professional areas such as finance, engineering, human resources, etc. and build into councils long term succession planning.

Longevity

The permanent full-time workforce has an average length of service of 18 years. This is relatively high and indicates a high level of stability. It fosters the virtues of institutional knowledge and job skilling through experience. It also saves on recruiting costs. It generally means that there is always someone to step up to a vacant position. However, because those vacant positions are so few and infrequent, a sense of frustration can occur.

It can be seen that the workforce is lacking young people and this is a result of the high stability; the older are crowding out the young looking for opportunities in a workplace such as ours.

Strategy: While providing the conditions for the experienced employees to maintain their productivity, take opportunities that vacancies provide to refresh the workforce from below with younger people – other things being equal. Utilise graduates, cadetships, traineeships and apprentices to their best potential to entice a younger generation of employees to the council workforce.

Critical Positions

The following may be categorised as critical positions in terms supply for recruitment purposes.

• Director Engineering Services• Director Community and Business Service• Director Finance and Administration• Financial Manager• Development & Environmental Services Manager• Assistant Engineer• Works Engineer• Waste Water Operator• Grader Operators

Draft

These are the positions where there is a shortage industry wide. Junee has not historically had too many difficulties in recruitment generally because of its inherent attractiveness and proximity to a regional centre. But shortages are shortages and they point up the desirability of ‘growing your own’. Junee Shire Council has not had a particularly consistent record in this except for parks and gardens. It has had conspicuous success with an engineering student placement and would be anxious to repeat that.

Strategies:

• Wherever feasible, nurture our own talent by way of student placements(engineering), traineeships (building surveying for example) and apprenticeships(waste water operations and parks and gardens for example). Otherwise, it is amatter of continuing a successful ‘off the shelf’ policy of recruitment.

• Provide study leave and financial support for career development in accordance withpolicies.

• Provide structured and specialist training programs.

Retention

Retention has not generally been an issue but Junee Shire Council needs to complement its desirable location and amenities with preferred employer status and the retention of high quality employees.

Strategies:

• Provide flexible working hours where necessary

• Ensure that pay and conditions are competitive

• Enrich and enlarge jobs wherever feasible

• Transfer knowledge to appropriate staff in order to enable the Council’s successionplans.

• Provide for flexible Salary Sacrifice and Salary Packaging.

Work Health and Safety

Junee Shire Council has an enviable record compared to other council workplaces, and it wants to keep it that way.

Strategies:

• Vigilant approach to workplace safety and risk management

• Active WH&S Committee that works to reduce workplace hazards

• Continuation of employee assistance program

Working Conditions

Junee Shire Council’s workplace is ageing and suffers by comparison with other council workplaces around the region. There can be no major improvements to this because of resource restraints, but there should be a process of continuous incremental improvements to improve the status.

Strategies:

• Maintain buildings in good condition to facilitate staff working conditions

• Keep abreast with modern technology to ensure high standards are retained

• Regularly upgrade computer systems

• Maintain a modern fleet including construction equipment, vehicles and miscellaneousplant

Gauging Success

Junee Shire Council has set a base line with a major employee attitude survey in March/April 2012. There is a need to continue that survey process and complement that with other actions.

Strategies:

• Iterate the employee attitude survey where possible

• Conduct and document exit interviews

• Conduct regular employee appraisals

Draft

Conclusion

This Workforce Plan should also be read in conjunction with the Council’s various staff policies which expand on its obligations towards employees. This Plan provides the opportunity to achieve its Delivery Program, to complement the other resourcing plans and to be a vital document in itself. It may be reviewed at any time but in any case at least every two years from the date of adoption.
