CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S SUMMARY

Dear Ratepayers and Residents of Mornington Peninsula Shire,

I am pleased to provide for your information the Monthly Report for August 2015. The Monthly report also contains the Finance report for the Shire and is an important measure as to how effectively we are managing the financial resources for the community. As you know, we take the proper management of the finances very seriously, to ensure that we deliver in all areas of our operations, value to the ratepayer and resident of the Shire.

Our operations for the month of August 2015 continue apace as we work hard to deliver on the significant capital program approved by Council. As you may know, for various reasons there was a significant amount of carry forward capital projects brought into the new financial year from last year. Through our Chief Operating Officer’s team in Infrastructure, a significant amount of work has gone into the development of a new project delivery model which is designed to improve the Shire’s ability to successfully deliver more projects on time and catch up the backlog of works. I am very confident that the work being carried out will deliver the approved projects and a large proportion of the backlog. I will keep you posted on this throughout the financial year.

As some of you may know, there is significant activity within the Shire amongst staff on our SeeChange Project. This is the short name we have selected to represent what we are working on within the Shire to transform the customer service experience that you all have when you deal with the Shire on any matters. We know from some great feedback that we get from the community that we do some things really well at the Shire but we acknowledge that in many areas we are not performing to the best of our ability for you and we are working hard to change that. This will show itself over time in better use of smart technology but fundamentally it is about all of us at the Shire understanding and committing to working for you the ratepayers and residents of the Shire who pay us! From the CEO down, within the staff structure, we are very focused on everyone’s involvement in working for the residents of our Shire. Again I will bring you many more updates on behalf of our Council throughout 2015/16 financial year on what we are achieving for you.

We welcome any feedback you care to give us and will continue to strive for improvement in serving the communities’ needs.

CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

The July 2015 monthly report included details of all Carry Forward projects from 2014/15 to 2015/16 that were proposed by Officers. At the Council meeting during August those Carry Forward projects ($14.17M net of contributions) were ratified by Council as an adjustment to the full year Adopted Budget for 2015/16. This is reflected in the full year Adjusted Budget columns in the monthly financial report section. Full year variances between the adopted and adjusted budget amounts have been identified and relate only to items carried forward from 2014/15.

As August is the second month of the 2015/16 financial year additional columns have also been added to the financial reports for Year to Date (YTD) figures so that cumulative variances between forecast and actual performance can be monitored. These reveal (in the Corporate Performance Statement) that while the performance for August was $335k unfavourable to forecast; the YTD position remains $1.36M favourable.

The major contributor to unfavourable performance in August was the shortfall ($818k) in grants commission receipts during the month. This is directly attributable to the unbudgeted receipt on the 30th June 2015 (last financial year and received after the adoption of the 2015/16 budget) of the prepayment of half of the anticipated 2015/16 grants commission funding. The timing of the prepayment being received in the last financial year from the Victoria Grants Commission has a two-fold impact on the August monthly variance due to (a) the reduced amount actually received and (b) the inflated forecast amount {due to the assumption that the entire budgeted 100% would be received in 4 equal instalments throughout the financial year}. Significant off-setting favourable variances ($368k) were experienced in the Corporate Services Group (which includes the Communities Directorate) due to deferred payments of some grants and subsidies, changes to IT maintenance expenditure and lower than anticipated employment costs in Aged and Disability Services for the month.

During August, Victorian Auditor-General’s Office (VAGO) staff were on-site conducting field work for the annual financial statements audit which will be included in the upcoming Annual Report. In addition, the audited financial statements for the Mornington Cemetery Trust were signed off without issue or qualification.

98,690 Rates and Valuation Notices were delivered to ratepayers during the first week of August incorporating changes to the State Fire Service Levy and waste vouchers. It is anticipated that changes to the layout of this year’s notices will result in greater clarity of the amount owed and consequently reduce the volume of inadvertent short payments. Options for contemporary payment methods such as BPay, direct debit and the use of QR codes have also been enhanced.

Other items of interest that occurred within the Corporate Services Group for the month include: Recruitment activity – 5 positions were advertised and a total of 54 applications were received indicating strong interest by potential employees in working for the Shire.

An OHS incident occurred involving a community care worker at a client’s premises. The staff member sustained lacerations to her hand from a dog bite which required hospital treatment. WorkSafe investigated and concluded (after reviewing the Shire’s thorough actions in response to the incident) that no further action was required on their behalf.

A Wifi access point was setup at David Collings Leisure Centre enabling patrons to access the internet via their portable devices.

A new standardised corporate signature block was deployed for all Shire email users which is just one early step towards presenting a consistent and unified image of the Shire to stakeholders.

The August edition of Peninsula-Wide was printed and distributed and 16 media releases were issued.

Another milestone in the 2016 General Valuation was successfully met on-time with Stage 3A (Specialised Valuations) lodged for certification on the due date of 31/8/2015.

The Municipal Fire Management Planning Committee held its third quarterly meeting and topics for discussion included the Arthurs Seat Skylift Emergency Management and Bushfire Emergency Plans, fire risk profiling for the Shire and Fire Safety Strategies for the Red Hill Ward.

Our Library commenced Sunday trading hours on 2nd August which will continue through until the end of November. The launch event attracted 1,176 visitors across the various branches.

A “Battle of the Bands” competition was hosted at the Peninsula Community Theatre with the winners now progressing to the regional finals later this year to be held in the City of Stonnington.

Following the event, the Freeza Committee received the following correspondence from a patron reaffirming the success of the event and effort put in by the Youth Committee:

“Hello Impakt Freeza team

Thank you for organising such a fun, safe and welcoming event for Battle of the Bands on Friday August 21st.

My husband, daughter and myself were excited to be part of the audience at Battle of the Bands, to support our son and his friends who formed two of the bands that performed.

The event was so well organised with security staff, St. John's Ambulance in attendance, professional staging and lighting, professional photographers, and young volunteers ensuring the evening was fun and safe for the peninsula's youth. We loved the free earplugs that were offered!

We talked with a number of other supporting parents who were present, and they shared our views of the well organised and welcoming environment.

It was a thrill to be part of the evening. Thank you for supporting such an occasion”.

REVENUE MANAGEMENT

Rate notices this year have been designed to not only include the Fire Service Levy in the body of the notice but also have the waste vouchers attached. This will reduce the number of short payments from ratepayers who inadvertently pay the Council rates and charges without the fire service levy. Rate notices for 2015/16 were delivered in the first week of August.

Residents and ratepayers can now register to receive their rates notice electronically. This option ensures that rates notice are e-mailed which will assist ratepayers when away from home and for electronic record keeping.

Once the annual rates notice has been received residents and ratepayers can register by scanning the QR code or by registering at morningtonpeninsula.formsport.com.au click register then follow instructions. As the waste stations are unable to scan the waste vouchers, those ratepayers receiving electronic notices have received the waste vouchers in the mail.

Council introduced BPay view during the last financial year and a flyer explaining this option has been included with the rate notice. This option lets you receive, store and pay your bills all within your online banking, users of this option need to refer to their individual bank for registration and details.

There are a number of factors supporting electronic delivery of rate notices including reduced mail costs (which are set to rise significantly in coming months), guaranteed delivery of notices and lower payment transaction costs with the BPay view option. Although the numbers taking up the electronic delivery of notices is minimal at this stage (approx. 1400 in total) the number of direct debit applications is increasing.

The number of land information certificate applications has increased significantly this month which has impacted on the number of changes of ownership/address processed (an increase of 30% over the same period last year).As is usual with the rate notices being mailed, there is increased activity in the number of new pension applications.

HUMAN RESOURCES

Corporate Learning and DevelopmentA range of corporate programs were delivered during the month, including some of the more significant programs such as Influencing Skills and How to Train Others. Feedback from both courses was very good. How to Train Others is similar to what was known in the past as ‘Train the Trainer’, whereby participants are trained in how to train small groups. This is particularly helpful for those staff who often work with small groups in the community.

RecruitmentA total of 54 applications were received during the month of August 2015 for 5 positions advertised. Total year to date (Jan – Dec) applications received amounts to 1,168.

Occupational Health and Safety IncidentsOn 22/7/2015 a Community Care Worker was entering a communal yard between a client’s granny flat and the client’s son’s home. On entering the yard, the son’s dog (normally contained in the son’s home) accessed the yard area, biting the employee on the right hand. The employee sustained lacerations to her hand, attended a GP clinic and thereafter Frankston Hospital for treatment which is ongoing.

A risk assessment for the dog had been performed but it relied on the son to contain the dog prior to and during the care worker’s attendance. On this occasion the son thought the care worker had already attended and therefore did not contain the dog. The employee did not check before entering the yard to ensure that the dog was contained.

Following the incident, a new risk assessment was completed for the dog concerned and this included input from the Shire Ranger. A fence has been installed at the premises isolating the dog and allowing access for care workers. Consultation with employees has occurred at the OHS committee meeting and ongoing development of the Community Care Worker Risk Control Measures is underway. It has been communicated to all care workers that if pets are not contained, then the worker must not enter the premises until such time that it is.

The WorkSafe Inspector was provided with copies of the Shire’s relevant policies and procedures and after her investigation, concluded that no further action to be taken by WorkSafe in the matter.

Risk and Safety ManagementThe current policies are under review and currently in the consultation phase with Health and Safety Representatives and OHS Committees:

Occupational Health and Safety Policy Contractor OHS Management Policy Occupational Violence Policy

An OHS gap analysis is currently being undertaken to determine the Shire’s compliance with OHS legislation and standard. Once complete, an implementation plan will be developed to assist the Shire to continue meeting its OHS obligations.

The Risk Management Framework is due for review in 2015/2016. The revised framework will include all areas of risk (corporate/public, OHS, compliance, environmental etc.).

ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

FIRE PREVENTION AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT

Emergency Management Training – Psychological First AidDuring a major emergency both the Red Cross and VCC (Victorian Council of Churches Emergency Ministries) have a role, as per the Emergency Management Manual of Victoria, to provide psychological first aid. The Mornington Peninsula Shire is fortunate in that we have a group of mental health practitioners that augment this response and have done so for about 20 years. They are one of the few teams that we are aware of that exist in Victoria. This group is known as the Emergency Management Personal Support Team (EMPST) and they have responded to many incidents over the years providing great support to those people who are affected by all kinds of emergencies on the Mornington Peninsula.

During August council officers working in the Emergency Management arena participated in training which focused on the following: Self-awareness and how to look after yourself during an emergency. Dealing with affected community members, especially at an Emergency Relief Centre or in

the field. Looking out for fellow staff during times of high stress levels.

Fire risk profiling, which includes new tools available to the committee overseen by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning.

DELWP Fire Operations Plan Consultation Period Now OpenEach year the Department of Environment Land Water and Planning (DELWP) develops an annual Fire Operations Plan (FOP) which prioritises where and when the State Government plans to carry out fire management works including planned burning, slashing, mowing, clearing and the maintenance of fuel breaks.

During April and May of this year, DEWLP sought input from communities and stakeholders as part of the development of the FOP. DEWLP are now providing those who contributed comments an opportunity to see how their input has been incorporated into the plan, and to respond to any final queries. If you have not yet provided comments on the 2015/16 – 2017/18 Fire Operations Plan and would like to, please visit the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning website at http://www.delwp.vic.gov.au/fire-and-emergencies/managing-bushfire-risk/fire-operations-planning or call them on 136 186.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

The Environmental Health Team responded to one food recall this month, which was Cottage Cheese Farm Goats Fetta Cheese due to microbial (E.coli) contamination.

One hundred and twenty three food safety assessments of fixed food businesses and 34 assessments of temporary food businesses were undertaken. The Team also processed 12 applications and 162 Statements of Trade via the online registering system known as Streatrader. It should be noted that that the number of food assessments is down due to changes in staffing and the requirement for training.

We have investigated a gastrointestinal outbreak at a nursing home that is home for 80 residents. The Environmental Health Team ensured that the premise was cleaned thoroughly. The outbreak was caused by the Norovirus.

The Shire’s Environmental Health Team has invited all local food businesses to nominate for the 2015 Best Bites Food Guide and Food Awards and has released the application kit. Nominations close on 12 October 2015.

The Best Bites program assesses and promotes local food businesses that: Provide safe and healthy food. Use environmentally sustainable practices. Provides safe and accessible premises.

The benefits of the Best Bites Program were shown by a recent health evaluation which found that 86 percent of food businesses involved in the program have provided healthier food options for their customers. This evaluation report will be made available on the Shire’s web page.

Businesses that meet the Best Bites requirements will be listed in the Best Bites Food Guide to be launched in November 2015. These businesses can also nominate for the 2015 Best Bites Food Awards in various categories.

The finalists in each category are determined from the overall score in their annual Best Bites assessment. Finalists are then judged by an independent panel of expert judges to decide the winner in each category.

Customers can also nominate their favourite food businesses for Best Bites by contacting the Shire’s Environmental Health Team at food@mornpen.vic.gov.au

The Environmental Health Team recently attended Annual Recognition Evenings for community groups at Bunnings Rosebud and Bunnings Mornington to discuss food safety and Streatrader requirements. Certificates of Appreciation were presented to the officers by Bunnings.

Pictured above: The Environmental Health Team gave a presentation on environmental health issues to Justice Students at Chisholm TAFE

The Shire’s Project 'Hitting the Hot Spots - A Strategic Approach to Source Point Pollution Management on the Peninsula’ has been selected as a finalist in three categories in the Stormwater Victoria Awards for Excellence. Officers from the Shire’s Environmental Health and Renewable Resources Team attended the judging interviews on 19 August 2015.

Four of the Environmental Health Team attended a very successful Allergen Awareness Training day. This training was targeted at raising the awareness of Environmental Health Officers, in investigating complaints about allergens in food, the risk of anaphylaxis reactions to allergens, sampling, analysis and food recalls and being an expert witness in Court with a focus on the Coroners Court. It was organised by Environmental Health Professional Australia, the Department of Health and Human Service.

COMMUNITY ANIMAL SHELTERThe month of A ugust saw 80 dogs come in to our temporary care and once again we had a great reuniting success rate with 61 of the dogs being reclaimed, usually within 24 to 36 hours. No dogs had to be euthanised which is a relief for the staff who work in this industry. Twenty-seven cats were impounded and whilst only one was registered, four were de-sexed and microchipped. Due to regulations if a cat’s behaviour is deemed feral or aggressive and/or it is in extremely poor health then euthanasia needs to take place and this was the case for ten cats.

Our partnership with rescue groups also continues to flourish with 28 pets ‘rescued’. This month we were assisted by; Forever Friends, Homeless Hounds, The Australian Animal Protection Society in Keysborough, Doing It For The Dogs, Second Chance Animal Rescue, Beagle Rescue, Little Whiskers, Chihuahua Rescue, Lab Rescue, Golden Retriever Rescue, Peninsula Vet Care (East Mornington), Vets for Adoption (Mornington and Rosebud) and Rescue a Cat Inc. These groups, together with our staff and volunteers, form a highly regarded partnership amongst Victorian shelters and pounds which endeavor to provide all suitable pets another chance at a new home.

Other animals cared for at the Shelter this month include two rascally rabbits.

SHIRE RANGERSThe Shire Ranger Team received and actioned 784 reactive merit cases this month. In response to this, the Team structure has been modified to make the most of the reduced operational capacity and ensure the level of response to the community is not affected.

2

The following table shows the number of cases received this month compared to previous years.

The Shire Ranger Team this month supported other Teams in investigating and working with the owners of a restaurant in Mount Eliza where there was a range of non-compliance issues with the substantive issue being the planting out of the road reserve without approval. Whilst sensitive in nature, an appropriate outcome was achieved.

The Team prosecuted 28 matters through the courts during August; with a further six matters finalised and subsequently withdrawn prior to the hearing.

Case of InterestThe owner of a Staffordshire bull terrier dog, a smaller terrier dog and a domestic cat, all of which were unregistered and being kept at a property in Rosebud were involved in a number of animal aggression incidents. There were multiple separate incidents of the dogs rushing at and biting people walking past the property. Officers from the Shire Ranger Team responded by seizing the Staffordshire bull terrier. Investigations identified that the owner had been charged 12 months ago with 45 similar charges when living at a property in Rye.

The owner was charged with a further 11 offences to which he pleaded guilty to being the owner of unregistered animals, dogs that were found at large and dogs that had rushed and bitten people. He was found guilty of the charges and was convicted and fined $4,000, ordered to pay court costs of $117.00 and shelter fees of $550.00. The Magistrate was particularly critical of the dog owner for continuing to be irresponsible and not learning from the previous court hearing. The Shire will now decide what further action may be taken to ensure that there are further controls in place to protect the community.

In maintaining our focus on advocacy for road improvements, Councillors, CEO and Shire Officers met with VicRoads Metropolitan South East Regional management group in early August to discuss priority issues for the Mornington Peninsula. High priority issues raised included the need for improving sustainable transport options for the community via improved cycling & pedestrian facilities and the urgent need to undertake intersection safety improvements at high risk locations. These locations included the intersections of Nepean Highway and Forest Drive, Mount Martha and the Mornington Peninsula Freeway and Jetty Road, Rosebud. This meeting was highly productive with agreement reached on key priorities and a commitment to working together to ensure required solutions are identified and implemented.

Significant ApplicationsP15/0638 – 142-146 Ocean Beach Rd Sorrento This is an application for use and development of a multi-level building within the Sorrento Historic Precinct. The building proposes ground level retailing at both Ocean Beach Rd and Morce Av frontages, with residential apartments above. The application is to be reviewed by the Design Advisory Panel at its next meeting on 16th September.

P15/1036 - 397 Main Creek Road, Main Ridge This application seeks approval to upgrade two existing free range chicken sheds on the land. The site presently contains a dwelling and three chicken sheds. It is proposed to upgrade and increase the size of two of these sheds, in order to retain the existing bird capacity on the land (as a result of a change to free range, which requires a reduced stocking density). Essentially, the same number of birds are intended to be housed in larger sheds, with the upgraded sheds to contain superior technology (in terms of temperature regulation and ventilation) to that of the older style cross ventilated sheds.

P15/1472 – 95 Balnarring Road, Balnarring (Balnarring Recreation Reserve) This application seeks approval to construct a new sporting pavilion with associated external viewing areas within the existing recreation reserve. The new building is to be generally in the location of the existing building, which is to be demolished to make way for this more modern facility. The pavilion will be used in conjunction with new netball courts, cricket nets, playground and car-parking works, which were approved under a separate permit and currently under construction.

P15/1400 – 18 Brasser Avenue, Dromana This application is within the Industrial 3 Zone, and seeks approval to use the land for Materials Recycling, a Store, and a Caretakers Dwelling. Further information has been requested of the permit applicant. Once received, the application will proceed to public notification.

VCATP13/1969 – 57-59 Ocean Beach Rd Sorrento This is an appeal against Council’s refusal of a three storey, mixed use development.

A preliminary matter was raised at the initial hearing on 24 June. The matter questioned whether or not a Cultural Heritage Management Plan was required for the development of the land. Following submissions received from both permit applicant and Council, VCAT determined that a CHMP was not required. The hearing is to be listed for consideration of the merits of the application at a date to be determined.

P14/1699 – 30 Cook Street, Flinders (Flinders Motel Site) This appeal related to Planning Permit P14/1699, which granted permission for the conversion and re-use of an existing building for the purpose of a Food and Drink Premises which would be open to the wider public. Seating for 44 patrons would be provided inside the building and a further 30 seats outside within four “pavilions” to be established within the site’s Cook Street frontage. The Food and Drink Premises is intended to operate in conjunction with the existing motel use.

The permit included two conditions limiting the maximum number of seats to 50 (condition 13) and the maximum number of patrons who may consume alcohol to 50 (condition 17). These are the conditions which the permit holder is seeking to review, as they seek to have an increased number of 74 seats/patrons.

The Tribunal did not accept the Shire’s grounds for limiting patron numbers to 50, which were based upon the availability of car-parking on site and within the road reserve, and the potential for the parking shortfall to impact upon the amenity of the residential area, including nearby dwellings in Cook Street.

BUILDING AND PLANNING COMPLIANCE

PLANNING COMPLIANCE

VCAT

The Planning Compliance Unit have lodged an application for an Enforcement Order at VCAT in relation to the use of land in Creswell Street, Crib Point for the purpose of pallet manufacturing and sawmill. The Planning Permit issued in 2010 which allowed the use to be conducted has expired and Council have sought that the land use ceases.

The operator sought to extend the application, however this application was subsequently refused. It is expected that an appeal may be lodged a VCAT in relation to the refusal of the permit. The resolution of the extension of time application may impact on the enforcement application. Council has written to the nearby residents to inform them of these matters. A resolution may take some months depending on the availability at VCAT to hear each matter.

Magistrates Court

3 Prosecutions have also been lodged in the Magistrates Court this month which include; removal of all vegetation on vacant land in Rye; breach of noise limits for an entertainment activity in Sorrento; placement of large volumes of fill on land in Somerville.

Infringements

There has been a higher than average amount of Planning Infringement Notices issued for the period. This appears to be partly due to repeat offences and matters where multiple breaches have occurred.

STATUTORY BUILDING

Reflective of the high level of building activity currently being experienced on the Mornington Peninsula, Applications for Report and Consent to Build on Flood Prone Land and Siting Variations have maintained record levels for yet another month, with 180 applications received in August 2015 compared with 112 applications received in August 2014.

The Statutory Building Team attended two house fires and two incidents of vehicle impacts into buildings out of hours for the month, this is also above the average of two call outs per month.

INFRASTRUCTURE STRATEGY

INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING

Peninsula Transport Assist Inc.Peninsula Transport Assist (PTA) has recently vinyl wrapped its two new mini buses to proudly display its logo and show the support given by Bendigo Bank Mt Eliza Branch and the Brotherhood of St. Laurence. The graphic below shows how the buses will look, with photos being prepared as we speak.

The organisations’ two buses are already in demand with bookings currently at 46% of capacity so early on. Community groups, organisations, schools and social groups can book the buses which are available at $95 per day. Volunteer bus drivers are also available at an additional cost. Regular users receive a discounted rate. Bookings can be made via the website www.peninsulatransportassist.org or by phoning 03)9708 8241

TRAFFIC AND ROAD SAFETY

Mornington North PlacemakingDesign work has commenced for the proposed threshold treatments in Robertson Dve in Mornington. These treatments will be designed to complement the proposed area 40km/h speed limit by physically requiring vehicles to lower their speeds but also to visually advise motorists that they are entering a local area. Once designs have been drafted the Mornington North Community Group will be consulted regarding the proposal. Prior to construction affected residents will be notified.

Private Commercial CarparksCurrent issues that have arisen in private carparks that Council has a lease arrangement with are being brought into the working group for resolution. The working group representing various Shire departments including Asset Management, Traffic & Road Safety, Property Department, Infrastructure Maintenance, Shire Rangers, Insurance and Risk Coordinator are also compiling information on all private car parks that Council has some form of lease or involvement in addition to the 4 highest priority car parks that are presently being investigated;

KMart & Aldi car parks, Hastings Safeway car park, Waterloo Pl, Mornington Coles car park, Hastings Safeway car park, Mt Eliza

Bus Stop Works - Adshel SheltersThe Traffic and Road Safety Team have been working with representatives from PTV and AdShel over the past two months to manage the installation of new bus shelter infrastructure in suitable locations around the Shire. AdShel, under contract with Public Transport Victoria, has installed 12 new Adshel Shelters for the Peninsula. This includes upgrading 10 new shelters along Point Nepean Road in Rosebud as well as installing a new shelter in Mount Eliza and one in Mount Martha.

Operated Signals proposalo Rye Commercial area, Point Nepean, Rd - Rye Smart Roads programo Baxter Tooradin Rd/ Golf Links Rd roundabout upgrade and upgrade of Golf links Rd.

Maintenance & renewal of arterial network

A more comprehensive list of concerns on the arterial network was provided to VicRoads management. VicRoads also advised that they recently have undertaken an organisational transformation and have a new “Care Dare Share” approach to the way they will be working.

ASSET MANAGEMENT

Road Information Database (RID)A Road Information Database (RID) is currently being developed by the Asset Management Team which will act as a front end database to the existing Shires Asset Management System (KMS).

When fully developed RID will enable the efficient review, update and integration of the Shire’s road asset data. It will also enable more accurate, streamlined and simplified statutory and internal road reporting. RID will facilitate the availability of comprehensive road information to the wider organisation through the Shire’s GIS. Overall, RID will result in improved productivity and provide more transparency in decision making.

INFRASTRUCTURE MAINTENANCEThe benefits of strategic planning and prior focus on program development has been demonstrated in the month of August, with the delivery of several significant projects.

NATURAL SYSTEMS

Landcare NewsLandcare Facilitator, Dr Jacqueline Salter received a “Highly commended” award in the Australian Government Landcare Facilitator section of the 2015 Victorian Landcare Awards. Dr Salter is currently working with the Mornington Peninsula Landcare Network to develop a Green Army Round 4 application for a project entitled “Improving Habitat on the Mornington Peninsula”. This work will take place on private properties in the Somerville, Red Hill/Dromana and Moorooduc regions of the Peninsula for landholders who have been part of the “Linking the Mornington Peninsula Landscape” project.

Community PlantingOn Sunday 23rd August 2015 approximately 300 indigenous plants were installed at Ranelagh Beach Mount Eliza by a coordinated team including Green Army, the Shires Natural Systems Team, Ranelagh Club and members of Mount Eliza Association for Environmental Care (MEAFEC). The recently formed Earimil Estuary Friends Group will maintain and monitor the plantings and will prepare future plans to extend the restoration program South toward Earimil Lookout.

Coast Helmet OrchidIn August many of the Shire’s species of orchid are emerging from the ground or even flowering. In Weeroona Reserve, Tootgarook, the Coast Helmet Orchid, Corysanthes despectans is known to flower around 6-8th August every year and sure enough on the 7th August this tiny, tiny plant was found in flower. The Coast Helmet Orchid is listed under the Flora and Flora Guarantee Act and a state government conservation plan for the species is in draft. Fire management work and bushland weeding works in this reserve are designed to avoid damage to the orchid. Some of the individual plants have been caged to prevent browsing by rabbits or swamp rats.

CLEANSING

New Bin Surrounds for Crib Point, Robertson Road Mornington & Baxter Local Shops.Working in conjunction with the Shires Infrastructure Planning Coordinator, the SIMS2 Cleansing& Drainage team has installed new and improved bin surrounds to these 3 local shopping precincts. The improvement on the ground has made a positive difference to the aesthetics in these small shopping precincts. Footpath cleansing is about to commence as the final improvement in these areas.

BUILDINGS, FURNITURE & SIGNS AND PARKS & ROADSIDES

Shire Offices Hastings – Cyclic Flooring Renewal WorksThe Building Services team has been renewing the carpet at the Shire Offices in Hastings. The old flooring had potential trip hazards and varying colours and types of carpets installed over time. Approximately 1300m2 of flooring, equivalent to three basketball courts, was replaced in four stages through an operational working environment. With staff temporarily relocated, the empty offices also provided the opportunity to re paint the facility, including additional areas not included in the flooring works.

Mt Martha – Energy Efficient Street LightingThe Furniture and Signs team have replaced ten non-standard street lighting poles at the end of their life with standard street lighting with low energy lamps. The works to replace the defective non-standard street lighting were carried out in conjunction with United Energy. Hove Road, Mt Martha was identified as a priority location after an audit of street lighting across the Peninsula.

4

As the poles have been replaced with standard lighting they will now be fully maintained by United Energy, reducing future maintenance and operating costs to the Shire.

Uncovering Cricket WicketsThe Parks and Roadsides active sports field team have been reusing the soil from the wickets to top dress sporting ovals. The compacted soil over the concrete wicket is loaded into a soil spreader and the soil is broadcast over the damaged areas of the oval. This helps improve the playing surface by re-topping the damaged and warn areas of the oval. An estimated 120m3 of soil will now be loaded and spread on ovals across the shire, recycling the soil, reducing the requirement for new material and reducing waste creation.

Noxious Weeds Control ProgamThe Parks and Roadsides Team have been treating roadside weeds throughout the Shire, with priorities identified through a system of rating the roadsides biodiversity value. At Harrisons Road, Dromana watsonia has been controlled and blackberry also targeted. If left un-managed these weeds would spread throughout the roadside and adjacent bushland reserve having a negative impact on indigenous flora populations as well as the habitat values of the local area utilised by indigenous fauna.

SAFER LOCAL ROADS

SafetyA ‘Near Miss Reporting Hotline’ was rolled out during August as part of a national Downer initiative. The intent of this reporting line is to make it simple and easy for our teams to report near misses they see in the field. The more near miss information captured, the safer we can make our work sites by analysing the information and implementing improvements.

QualityDowner completed 29 internal quality audits in August across a range of activities including pavement works, footpath works, line marking, gravel roads and drainage works. These identified a good standard of workmanship in many activities as well as identifying some areas requiring minor improvement. The latter included parts of the unsealed road network, where the rain over the previous 6 weeks has caused potholing that the team is now working hard to address.

Downer have successfully responded to a Shire audit of edge break repairs, using the audit findings as an opportunity to completely re-examine management of this activity. After months of hard work Downer have brought this item back in-line, and a recent Shire audit found all repairs met expectations, including many examples of excellent workmanship.

ProgramsThe winter period has seen an increase in the amount of road surface potholes and failures, and as a result our road patching program commenced in August. There has been a minimum of 2 crews working of potholes throughout the month. The 2015/16 Road Resealing/Rehabilitation Program is presently being developed, with finalisation expected in late September or early October. Once finalised the program will be communicated to all key stakeholders.

INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS

Procurement Strategy – Provision of Professional Support ServicesThe Project Delivery unit is currently working on the establishment for the provision of professional support services in line with its program delivery approach to capital works.

This will see long term arrangements with a various service providers to assist the Project Delivery team delivery the capital works program. The proposed term of the contract is for 3 years.

The service delivery efficiencies and indirect benefits to the Shire are significant when compared to tendering those services for individual projects. The advantages of a long term arrangement with service providers are numerous:

One contract to administer Greater understanding of client needs Fewer meetings required with service provider and community groups Adaption of standard design templates to multiple sites Long term relationship based on trust and shared commitment Quality improvements through specifying the right materials and fittings Reduced maintenance costs Better programming of works Flexibility in the contract to cater for variables

Capital Works ProgramThe Infrastructure Project Management unit has made significant progress with the delivery of the 2015/16 capitals works program and a more detailed update of specific projects is described in the CAPITAL WORKS section of this report.

RENEWABLE RESOURCES

ECO LIVING DISPLAY CENTRE

Eco Champions for the PeninsulaThe Eco Champions for the Peninsula program aims to foster leadership for sustainability among students and teachers in the Mornington Peninsula so that they can make significant contributions to the environmental outcomes of the region. The Shire is working with Tomorrow’s Leaders for Sustainability Inc. (TLfS) who are delivering the program. A number of local groups are also involved to maximise the environmental outcomes.

As part of the Eco Champions program, the Eco Champions Schools Forum was held at Woodleigh School on 5th August. The event was attended by 100 students and fourteen teachers from eleven schools across the Peninsula. One of the unique aspects of the training was the involvement of local community groups with the schools. The full day of activities included eleven local community groups showing how they can assist with environmental education projects within schools and showing how schools can be actively involved in their local conservation projects. Connections between community groups and schools forged as part of the Forum have already resulted in positive collaborations on environment projects.

Students from Boneo Primary School developing the model for their school project

The next component of the program is the Schools Challenge, whereby local schools develop an environmental project within their school over the next three months.

Schools Education Program On the 20th August, around twenty teachers from the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston Districts met at the Eco Living Display Centre as part of the Teachers Environment Network. Liz Hubbert, our schools education contractor, demonstrated our excursions program to all participants through hands on activities, to promote the program.

Great Green Activities planned for Spring A series of community engagement workshops have been organised and promoted for spring including four at the Eco Living Display Centre. Additional workshops will also be held at the Victorian Spring Flower and Garden Festival at the Mornington Racecourse.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

Energy and Greenhouse Management Improvement PlanVoltage Optimisation A voltage power optimisation (VPO) unit has been installed at the Rosebud Municipal Office. The unit works to regulate and control energy supplied to the building and in turn will reduce electricity consumption and bills, protect vital electrical infrastructure and prolong the life of electrical equipment. The electricity consumption will be reduced by an estimated 10.7%, equating to a reduction of 90 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually.

Community Building Lighting Upgrade LED lighting upgrades have been completed in 18 Shire buildings including Peninsula Community Theatre, Rosebud Memorial Hall and Tyabb Community Hall to name a few. The project will see old fluorescent tube lighting, halogen downlights and inefficient floodlights replaced with LED equivalent products. It is expected that energy use across all of the facilities will be reduced by approximately 14,600 kWh per annum resulting in an abatement of approximately 46 tonnes of greenhouse emissions per annum.

WATER MANAGEMENT

Stormwater Pollution Trial - Mt Eliza and MorningtonMornington Peninsula Shire’s submission for the Stormwater Victoria Awards for Excellence has been short-listed as a finalist for the following three categories: Excellence in Policy or Education; Excellence in Research and Innovation; and Excellence in Strategic or Master Planning. Winners will be announced on the 3rd of September. The success of becoming a finalist shows significant leadership by the Shire and its’ project partners, in innovative approaches to improving the quality of our waterways on the Peninsula.

Education materials for food businesses are ready for printing and are on schedule to be delivered to businesses in early September.

WASTE MANAGEMENT

Dates have been set for two (2) important waste events to occur during November 2015.

BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES

The newly established Buildings and Facilities team is responsible for the strategic planning of all Shire buildings & facilities; the maintenance of all Shire buildings; the operations of Pelican Park Recreation Reserve, Somerville Recreation Reserve Centre, Crib Point Pool, Hastings Community Hub, Civic reserve Recreation Centre and Mt Martha Golf Course; and the operation of Foreshore Camping and the coordination of the community halls.

Facilities PlanningThe initial focus of the Facilities Planner, Mike Scully, is the review of the Pavilion Strategy. The Pavilion strategy is a $49m project focused on improving the standard of the sporting pavilions across the Shire. The review is to ensure the strategy is achieving its original intent, and to understand what opportunities may exist to enhance the delivery of these works.

The Facilities Planner will also be identifying the requirements for a broader facilities strategy, to ensure we have a coordinated approach to the development, operation and maintenance of our facilities.

Foreshore Camping and Community HallsThe foreshore camping team has amalgamated with the community halls team to ensure we optimise our service delivery and provide integrated service delivery. The transition has identified several opportunities to enhance the delivery of these services, and Heath Gillett and the team are working hard to implement these changes. An example is a promotion of the ‘pre-season’ camping package, this promotion has provided a positive increase in booking numbers. As we are coming up on the peak season for the foreshore camping, a lot of preparation is being undertaken to ensure we can continue to enhance the experience for both the campers and the community, including tidying up the site amenities.

Building MaintenanceThe building maintenance team, led by Greg Powell, has been focusing on ramping up the painting program as we come into the warmer months. Examples of current painting works include;

The team is currently closing out the painting works at Rosebud Senior Citizens with repairs to external components of the building being completed this month including fascia, spouting and downpipes prior to final painting;

Waterfall Gully Pre-school and MCHC are currently being painted and the team is working with the pre-school committee to accommodate the extension of the verandah. These works are being undertaken by an in-kind project by a local building company; and

Painting works are close to completion at the Mornington Bowls Club.

Other works underway by the buildings team include; Upgrade of the soak pits at Boneo Recreation Reserve Toilet block has been completed; Upgrade works are being finalised at RJ Rowley Reserve; Rekeying and minor maintenance works at Dromana Community House; Maintenance works at the Old Mornington Post Office; and Improvement works, including new epoxy flooring at the Watt Rd Animal Shelter.

Sports and LeisureThe Sports and Leisure team, led by Miranda Markovic, is responsible for the daily operations of the Shire’s Aquatic and Recreation facilities. The facilities are dynamic facilities, with large number of groups and individuals attending each day.

One of Western Ports and Pelican Park Recreation Centres largest events is the Tour de France Challenge ran with great success celebrating 10 years of fun and fitness. The three week challenge consisted of 21 classes with each class representing one stage of the real Tour De France, projected as the classes’ backdrop. With a record breaking 43 enrolments this year the

4

team managed to fundraise just under $3,000 to the Cure De Cure cause. The fundraising proceeds are the participant’s way of honouring those we have loved and lost over the past ten years, as three years ago we lost one of our riders to cancer, Michael McGivern. Michael was a foundation member of Pelican Park and rode in our Tour De France Challenge from the beginning, even in the very midst of his illness, he rode as many classes as he could. Pelican Park attracts over 2,000 participants in programs like the Tour de France a month and we look forward to next year having all the team members back to share the experience.

Crib Point Recreation Reserve Netball CourtsA meeting was held at Crib Point Recreation Reserve in the last week of August to discuss the progression of the Crib Point Netball Project. The meeting was attended by Club representatives, Cr Garnock, Shire officers and Neil Burgess MP. Options were presented by Shire officers for the location of two netball courts and the advantages and disadvantages were discussed. Option 2B in the north-east of the Reserve, as shown, was selected due to its ease of access, proximity to existing change rooms and space for spectators, benches and lighting.

The timeline of this project depends heavily on the allocation of Sport & Recreation Victoria grants. However, Shire officers will begin the detailed design immediately in preparation for any grants received.

There is a small portion of intersection work at Graydens Road and Loders Road has been hold at this stage because of the wet weather condition.

It is anticipated that the remaining construction works are to be completed by end of this year.

Image: Loders Road Guard Rail Installation Works

Wooralla Drive Shared User Path, Mt ElizaA shared path is to be constructed along Wooralla Drive from Emil Madsen Reserve to Mountain View Road, Mt Eliza. The proposed shared path will provide a safer passage for pedestrians.

The path will be constructed from brown exposed aggregate concrete, along with raised timber boardwalks at various sections, with a footbridge over Balcombe Creek and rail crossing over the Mornington Railway.

As part of these works, the proposed footbridge had to comply with Melbourne Water conditions. Being a single spanning structure, with abutments outside the banks of the waterway.

For the construction of the proposed shared path a flora and fauna assessment was undertaken to mitigate impacts on the Balcombe Creek site, and establish management practice during and following construction for erosion and weed control.

In establishing the alignment of the shared path, it was identified some vegetation removal would be required. A Biodiversity assessment was undertaken for the approval of the Planning Permit. A Planning Permit was granted on the 20th March 2015.

In constructing the shared path, a rail crossing will be required. An application to VicTrack has been made seeking approval to construct the rail crossing. Recently Risk Workshop (as part of the approval process) with Vic Track, Mornington Tourist Railway, Public Transport Victoria and Mornington Peninsula Shire has been completed regarding the risk associated with pedestrian crossing at railway line. From the Risk Workshop, it has been advised to hold the footpath construction until the footpath at railway crossing approval.Recently outside consultant has engaged to design the pedestrian crossing at railway line.So considering time for detailed design and approval process, footpath construction works including railway crossing are scheduled for October to December 2015.

The above table is an excerpt from the Corporate Performance Statement and shows a high level breakdown of Operational and other expenditure before attribution of internal charges. Income and Expense is categorised either operational or capital in nature.

Operating Funds available to fund other expenditure was unfavourable by $423k, which is mainly attributable to $818k less quarterly Victoria Grants Commission income received during August. This is a result of the early payment of funding in the 2014/15 financial year.

Operating expenditure has remained favourable overall for the month of August whilst redundancy payments were made for 9 staff as part of the Organisational realignment. This is reflected in the Income Statement for employee costs and has been offset by lower expenditure in various accounts, including hardware maintenance in IT and timing of payment of community grants and subsidies.

Project expenditure in Capital and Priority works and Priority Projects has a relatively small variance due to timing of project delivery. Unbudgeted Capital Grants and Contributions have been received for projects including further works on CCTV and sport ground lighting. It is important to note that this funding will be matched by required project expenditure. These variances will be reflected in Quarter 1 forecast review adjustments, with no bottom line changes expected.

In the July monthly report, carry over projects for Capital, Priority Works and Projects as well as Whole of Life (fully externally funded programs) were included for consideration by Council. The Adjusted Budget listed above in the full year columns reflects the original Adopted Budget plus the Carry Forward amounts adopted.

2

They are:

Capital Works - $9.966m (net of Asset Sales and external income) Priority Works - $1.888m (net of external income) Priority Projects - $1.956m (net of external income) Whole Of Life Operating Programs - $364k (fully funded in prior years)

These projects are funded from the accumulated surplus.

Further explanations regarding financial performance are included in the rest of this report.

The above table illustrates the breakdown of income and expenditure from the Key Financial Highlights and Overview (previous page) and is designed to show the funds available from operating activities that are available for expenditure on Capital and Priority Works, Priority Projects and debt principal repayments. It differs from the Standard Income Statement in that it does not include capital grants, contributed assets, depreciation and user fees from Special Charge schemes as these are considered to be either non-recurrent (eg capital grants) or non- cash entries (eg. depreciation).

As stated earlier in the report, half of the estimated 2015/16 allocation of Victoria Grants Commission funding was received early in June 2015. This will reduce the forecast for 2015/16 income and will be reflected in the Quarter 1 Review. The difference in quarterly funds received as at the end of August is $818k.

Major variations in expenditure are in the Corporate Services Group and reflect the timing of payments of Community Grants and Subsidies, IT maintenance costs and lower employment costs in Aged and Disability Services as the level of demand is lower than budgeted.

During the month of August redundancy payments were made for 13 staff members, as a result of Organisational review. This has resulted in an unfavourable variance in Employee Costs of $584k for the month. Analysis will be performed in preparation for the Mid Year review to determine the forecast adjustments required.

Please note the full year variance above for the Adjusted Budget relates to programs in the Communities area, for which funding received has not yet been fully expended.

Detail on individual Group performances is included later in the Group Analysis section of this report.

*Note – excludes internal income and expenditure (as per Corporate Performance Statement. The full year variance is due to carry forwards included in Adjusted Budget.

The Capital Works program (net result) is showing a favourable variation of $126k to budget for the month of August. This is due in part to:

Unbudgeted funding $45k received from Department of Health and Human Services - Community Facility Funding towards lighting of Soccer grounds;

Continuing increased Contributions from Subdividers of $43k (Recreation Open Space contributions);

Infrastructure Drainage – the program is favourable primarily due to the phasing of budget in Emergency Drainage $160k fav, with no year-end impact.

Infrastructure Roads is showing an unfavourable variance due to phasing of carry forward

Priority Works are similar in nature to Capital Works, however, they are not individually material in value or do not add to the capitalised value of an asset, or they may be a contribution to another entity’s assets. The full year variance is due to carry forwards included in Adjusted Budget.

The net unfavourable variance in Priority Works of $7k is primarily due to expenditure on the following projects:

Sustainable Energy Funding ($58k), which will be fully offset by a transfer from reserve funding held for such projects;

Mt Eliza Bowls Lighting ($22k) – funding was received in the previous financial year towards upgrade of lighting - installation of two new sports lights towers and lamps; and

Colchester Road Investigation ($18k) – this project will be offset from capital works funding in the first quarter review.

There is a complete listing of Priority Works included at the end of this report.

*Note – excludes internal income and expenditure (as per Corporate Performance Statement)

Priority Projects are generally “one-off” or at least not recurring costs. Examples are strategy development or specific funded projects. The full year variance is due to carry forwards included in Adjusted Budget.

As at the end of August, there is a favourable result as compared primarily due to unbudgeted income received from Industry members who contribute to funding Mornington Peninsula Tourism activities. This income and corresponding matching expenditure were not advised in sufficient time to be included in the adopted budget. There was also an unbudgeted grant received for the Somerville Community Recreation Centre occasional care from the Department of Education.

The forecast is proposed to be adjusted in the Quarter 1 review.

The expenditure variance for the month is due to timing of expenditure on Tourism Projects, no change to budget expected.

A complete list of Priority Projects is included at the end of this report.

Corporate Services Group

The above table shows a high level of breakdown of Operational income and expenditure per Unit. Internal income and expense charges are shown separately as a line item for the group. They represent recharges of internal services and overheads.

The Corporate Services Group has a favourable variation to budget to date due to: Phasing of Community Grants and Subsidies payments - $166k favourable, these

will occur later in the year; Employment costs were $249k less than budgeted due to the level of demand for

services in Aged in Disability; and Increased Rate income received to date of $411k.

Please note the $364k variation for the Adjusted Budget as compared to the Adopted Budget is a reflection of the take up of external funding received from the State Government in previous years but expended in the current year by the Communities area.

These items include: Best Start - $77k; Supported Parent Group and Play - $73k; and School Focussed Program - $214k.
