EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
At the Ordinary meeting of Council on the 20 May 2013, Council resolved the following:
“That:
1. to better recognise the Festive Season, Council undertake an investigation of how to highlight the two principle Council buildings. They being the Heidelberg Town Hall in Ivanhoe and Watermarc in Greensborough;
2. the investigation take into consideration the views and plans of the local shopping centre’s Committees of Management for the Ivanhoe and Greensborough Shopping centres respectively;
3. possible sources of funding or “in-kind work” also be part of the investigation.”
The Heidelberg Town Hall is heritage listed building and is a key land mark within the municipality. WaterMarc, while not heritage listed, is also a key landmark within the municipality. Given the current construction at the beginning of the Greensborough Walk and the proposed future expansion of the WaterMarc building, officers are recommending that any Christmas decorations at this site be considered during any future detailed design phase of the redevelopment. There are a number of decoration options available for Council to consider which will determine the level of investment required. These options are further explored within the report. It should be noted that there will also be an ongoing annual cost associated with each option to install, dismantle, store and maintain the Christmas decorations. The Ivanhoe Traders Association are working closely with Council’s Economic Development area and are currently gaining quotes from suppliers to refresh the current decorations in all shopping centres across the municipality. The estimated cost associated with the installation of Christmas decorations within Council’s shopping centres and key municipal landmark buildings would need to be a consideration of future budget deliberations.
OFFICER DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Section 80C of the Local Government Act 1989 requires members of Council staff, and persons engaged under contract to provide advice to Council, to disclose any direct or indirect interest in a matter to which the advice relates. Council officers involved in the preparation of this report have no conflict of interest in this matter.

CITY PLAN
This report is in line with Council’s City Plan key direction to “celebrate and promote Banyule’s diversity and heritage”.
BACKGROUND
The Heidelberg Town Hall is heritage listed building and is a key land mark within the municipality. WaterMarc, while not heritage listed, is a key community facility with a high participation rate. In the past The Heidelberg Town Hall has displayed lights on the top of the building and around the tower to celebrate the festive season however this has not occurred for many years. Council collects a special rate against properties within the shopping centres and then redistributes this special rate (with additional funding from Council) to each of the Traders Associations for marketing and promotional purposes. In the past the Traders Associations have paid for Christmas decorations within the shopping centres, however these decorations are aging and need to be refreshed.
HUMAN RIGHTS CHARTER
In developing this report to Council, the subject matter has been considered to determine if it raises any human rights issues. In particular, whether the scope of any human right established by the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities is in any way limited, restricted or interfered with by the recommendations contained in this report. It is considered that the subject matter does not raise any human rights issues.
CURRENT SITUATION
Officers have sourced a number of quotes for the supply, installation and display of large exterior Christmas Decorations for the Heidelberg Town Hall. Suppliers engaged during the quotation phase have previous experience in the supply of large exterior Christmas decorations to many municipalities throughout Australia. The Heidelberg Town Hall The uniqueness of the Heidelberg Town Hall building features and its stand-alone location makes it an ideal proposition for purpose scaled and unique custom decorations and lighting that will complement the landmark status of the building. The building is used for public and private functions of all types and occasions and has been carefully preserved both inside and out. With this in mind and noting its heritage listing, the application of decorative and lighting elements should not only be spectacular and attractive but be installed and fixed securely in a manner that does not impinge on its functionally or damage any of its heritage features. It should be noted that additional infrastructure will be required including power supply outlets, support and an anchoring systems. This extra equipment is yet to be costed and additional detailed design will occur once Council has provided in principle support for the project. This detailed design will include consultation with Council’s Building Maintenance team and experts from Heritage Victoria in order to obtain the necessary approvals.

WaterMarc Given the current construction at the beginning of the Greensborough Walk and the proposed future expansion of the WaterMarc building, officers are recommending that Christmas decorations at this site should be considered during any future detailed design phase of the redevelopment. This will ensure the necessary anchor points and power supply are included. Traders Associations The Ivanhoe Traders Association are working closely with Council’s Economic Development area and are currently gaining quotes from suppliers to refresh the current Christmas decorations at shopping centres across the municipality. Once these quotes have been received, Economic Development will provide further information to Council for consideration within the 2015/16 budget process.

CONSULTATION
Officers have undertaken internal consultation with Council’s Economic Development department and determined that the Traders Associations are also undertaking a project to present costings to Council regarding upgrade of Christmas decorations at all shopping strips across the municipality. If Council wish to pursue the Traders Christmas Decoration project, further consultation with all Traders Associations will be required and the overall cost should be considered within the 2015/16 budget process.
CONCLUSION
There are currently two areas of investigation occurring in relation to Christmas decorations within the municipality. The estimated cost associated with the installation of Christmas decorations within Council’s shopping centres and on key municipal landmark buildings should be considered during the 2015/16 budget process.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council refer cost estimates for Christmas decorations for the Heidelberg Town Hall to the 2015/16 budget for consideration.

BANYULE BULLYING FORUM cont’d
Ordinary Meeting of Council - 17 November 2014 Page 10
BACKGROUND
In response to the Council resolution of 2 December 2013, a letter was distributed to all schools within Banyule signed by the Mayor Councillor Craig Langdon in early 2014 commending them on their current efforts to eradicate bullying and offering them additional support should they require it.
On the 27 August 2014 Council’s Youth Services hosted a forum entitled “Tackling Bullying in our Community”. The event, attended by over 100 people, was opened by Bully Zero ambassador and the Mayor, Councillor Craig Langdon alongside Councillor Steve Briffa. The participants heard from keynote speaker and bestselling author Dr Evelyn Field, alongside panellists Oscar Yildiz (CEO Bully Zero Australia Foundation), Vita Catalano (Beyond Blue Ambassador) and Amy Bryans (Youth Parliament member) who discussed strategies and answered questions from the audience.
Bullying can have serious and long term impacts on individuals, organisations and communities, and can be detrimental to a person’s mental and physical health with victims experiencing significant social isolation and loss of self-esteem, feelings of shame and anxiety, concentration and learning difficulties. Research shows that bullying is one of the major reasons children and young people contact help lines and leave schools, and at least one in five children will be bullied. Dr Evelyn Field and Oscar Yildiz provided advice on how to support children and young people including the importance of resilience and practical relating skills, while Vita Catalino shared her personal experiences with bullying. A number of Youth Services staff were present on the evening in order to offer support and referral information around this serious topic, and resources were sourced and provided to those attending the event. Twelve leading organisations represented the material available to those attending the event. In the lead up to the forum Banyule Youth Services staff put together the best resource examples as well as developing a series of assistance fact sheets which were made available online at www.banyuleyouth.com/bullying. This page will be maintained with current information updated regularly to ensure that Banyule families can access appropriate assistance and resources. Feedback from those attending the event has been excellent. An example from a participant is: “I thought the evening was very well organized with great resources including the wonderful speaker Evelyn Field”.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council notes the report and continues to make information and fact sheets available on the topic of Bullying through its online resource.

Funding Opportunities: Banyule Community Development Grants: The next round of Community Development Grants will open in February 2015 and the current funding criteria allows for applications to be made for equipment purchases for up to $5,000. There are also some external funding sources that may be suitable to assist the club with their requirements. VicHealth Active Club Grants Program: VicHealth recognises that there are costs associated with participating in sport, including the purchase of sporting equipment. These costs can prevent people from participating in sport, or trying new sporting activities. VicHealth aims to remove this barrier to participation by assisting clubs with the purchase of essential sporting equipment. This funding round opens on 12 January 2015 and closes 13 February 2015. Grants of up to $3,000 are available for:
Sports injury prevention and management equipment
Essential sporting equipment/items.
Priority will be given to applications from clubs/organisations who can demonstrate that an Active Club Grant will increase opportunities for regular physical activity in their community. Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure - Sporting Uniforms: The Sporting Uniform funding program provides grants of up to $1000 to assist in the purchase of sports uniforms. This program provides funds for activities that support Victorian community-based clubs to deliver sport and active recreation opportunities. The funding round opens 25 November 2014 until Thursday 5 February 2015. The Sporting Uniform Grants Program will not fund uniforms that have already been purchased prior to the closing date of the funding round.
CONCLUSION
There are a number of funding opportunities that would be available to assist the Club with financial support for canteen equipment, sporting and safety equipment and supply of uniforms. Council’s Leisure Services Team would be able to assist the Club with information regarding application processes to the various funding bodies.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council: 1. Consider an allocation in the 2015/16 Budget for $175,000 towards the sport
field lighting upgrade at Cartledge Reserve as a requirement of matching funds received from both State Government ($75,000) and Federal Government ($50,000) towards the project.
2. Continue to work with the Heidelberg Stars Soccer Club in in their endeavours to provide training equipment, safety equipment and canteen equipment through upcoming funding opportunities.

Better allocation of limited council resources.
Improved alignment of assets with services and community expectations.
Reduced demand for new council assets through better integration of service planning and asset planning.
More effective use and maintenance of existing council assets.
Improved processes and accountability for capital and recurrent works The Asset Management Policy will be followed by a number of Asset Management category plans and the Asset Strategy documents that will be tabled before Council for consideration and adoption over the coming months.

4.2 SCHOOL CROSSING SUPERVISER PROGRAM UPDATE
Author: Bailey Byrnes - Transport Engineer, City Development
File: F2014/141
Previous Items Council on 18 November 2013 (Item 4.2 - School Crossing Update)
Council on 17 December 2012 (Item 4.2 - School Crossing Supervisor Program)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Council is responsible for the ongoing review of the school crossing program, including the operation of 58 supervised school crossings throughout the municipality. Each site must be reviewed by Council against the appropriate warrants every three years in order to obtain a subsidy from the State Government to offset some of the costs associated with the crossing supervision. This year, five of the 35 sites requiring reassessment were identified as not meeting the warrants for ongoing crossing supervision. Council has made previous resolutions on four of these sites. It is suggested to retain the supervision at these sites in line with Council’s previous resolutions. The remaining site is proposed to remain for safety reasons. During the school crossing review process, requests were received from Ivanhoe Primary School for the provision of a school crossing supervisor at the existing zebra crossing in Livingstone Street, Ivanhoe. The site met the warrants for a school crossing supervisor, and it is proposed for the site be included in the 2015/16 application to VicRoads for a school crossing supervisor subsidy. It is further proposed that the site be supervised from the start of the 2015 school year.
OFFICER DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Section 80C of the Local Government Act 1989 requires members of Council staff, and persons engaged under contract to provide advice to Council, to disclose any direct or indirect interest in a matter to which the advice relates.

CITY PLAN
This report is in line with Council’s City Plan key direction to “support sustainable transport”.
BACKGROUND
Council is responsible for the ongoing review and installation of school crossings throughout the municipality. This includes the operation 58 supervised school crossing locations throughout the municipality. Each year the State Government provides a subsidy to Council to offset some of the costs of the supervision at sites that meet specific warrants. Council must submit an application for this subsidy to the State Road Authority (VicRoads). The application requires that each school crossing site is reassessed against the appropriate warrants every 3 years.

SCHOOL CROSSING SUPERVISER PROGRAM UPDATE cont’d
Ordinary Meeting of Council - 17 November 2014 Page 21
In accordance with VicRoads guidelines for school crossings, an unsupervised crossing is warranted where 20 or more students cross the road and the traffic volume exceeds 50 vehicles during any hour on a normal school day. For a supervised children’s crossing to be warranted for a primary school, the number of children crossing at the crossing (minimum 20) multiplied by the number of vehicles (minimum 100) must exceed 5,000. For a supervised children’s crossing to be warranted for a secondary school, the number of children crossing at the crossing (minimum 20) multiplied by the number of vehicles (minimum 250) must exceed 25,000. This year five of the 35 sites requiring reassessment have not met those warrants. As such these sites are unlikely to receive subsidy from VicRoads. Under Council’s school crossing policy these sites are now at risk of losing their school crossing supervisors. Of these five sites, four have previously been considered by Council. This report details the results of this year’s subsidy assessment and considers in detail the additional site not meeting the warrants. During the review process Council received one request for a school crossing supervisor at an existing pedestrian crossing on Livingstone Street, Ivanhoe. This site is outlined below.
DISCUSSION
2014/15 Supervisor Subsidy from VicRoads The subsidy funding for the 2014/15 financial year has not yet been announced by VicRoads. In October 2013, Council applied for subsidy funding for 62 supervisors at 58 crossing sites in the municipality. Of the 58 sites, 51 met the warrants for subsidy funding. Seven (7) sites failed to meet the warrants for ongoing supervision; however they were included in the submission. A list of all the sites in the submission is provided at Attachment 1. 2014/15 Gap Sites The crossings at Dundee Street, Watsonia North, Plenty Road, Bundoora and Greenwood Drive, Bundoora have previously not met the warrants for a subsidy from VicRoads. These sites have been funded by Council in full for a number of years. Pedestrian counts undertaken this year indicate that the warrants are now met, and are now eligible for a subsidy from VicRoads. While the subsidy for the 2014/2015 year has not yet been confirmed, these sites did not meet the warrants in the 2014/2015 subsidy application to VicRoads, and may not receive a subsidy for the current financial year. Should a subsidy not be received for these sites, they should be funded by Council in full for the 2014/15 financial year. 2015/16 Subsidy Application to VicRoads Application for subsidy funding for the 2015/16 financial year is currently being prepared in line with VicRoads requirements, and will be forwarded to VicRoads following the confirmation of the 2014/15 subsidy. The application will request a subsidy for 63 supervisors at 59 sites. This includes one new school crossing supervisor at an existing zebra crossing in Livingstone Street, Ivanhoe, discussed later in this briefing note. The subsidy application will also include five sites that failed to meet the warrants for ongoing supervision.

Of these sites, four sites have been considered by Council in previous resolutions. It was noted in these resolutions that:
The sites at Rattray Road, Grimshaw Street and Wungan Street continue to warrant crossing supervision due to road safety concerns.
Sherbourne Primary School has previously committed to contributing funding for the Fernside Avenue school crossing supervisor in the absence of a subsidy being provided by VicRoads. This arrangement will be confirmed with the school should a subsidy not be granted in 2014/15.
It is proposed to retain the supervision at these four sites in line with Council’s previous resolutions. The school crossing at Mountain View Road is the only existing site that failed to meet the warrants for ongoing supervision. This site is discussed in detail below. It should be noted that there will be workforce impacts should Council consider not funding any of the sites that do not meet the warrants, and subsequently remove the supervisor from the site. Council’s school crossing supervisors are staff members of Council and employed in part time or temporary capacity. The removal of a school crossing supervisor from a site has significant impacts on the staff member involved, particularly as many of them are often specifically attached to the site they supervise. Further, and significantly to this, removal may lead to possible staff redundancy if an alternate site is not available.

The results indicate the number of pedestrians falls below the minimum requirements for the provision of a school crossing supervisor. The site also does not meet the requirements for an unsupervised school crossing Observations during school drop-off and pick up times indicated that, due to the traffic volumes along Mountain View Road during these times, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient gap between vehicles to allow crossing. This is particularly difficult for young children who can have difficulty judging such things. Furthermore, sight distance on the approach to the crossing is restricted, particularly for pedestrians crossing from the north east side of the crossing towards the school. VicRoads crash statistics database indicates that there have been no pedestrian related crashes on Mountain View Road in the past five (5) years. There is a history of pedestrian numbers falling below the numerical warrant at this school crossing during peak school times. However, vehicle volumes during the operation of the school crossing are high, and there are no controlled crossing points (such as pedestrian operated signals) in the vicinity. It is recommended that in accordance with the Banyule School Crossing Supervisor Policy, supervision at the school crossing be retained on safety grounds. It is noted that the pedestrian numbers fall just short of the warrants required to obtain a subsidy for the school crossing supervisor. It is recommended Council work with Briar Hill Primary School to encourage walking as a means to access the school. New Supervised School Crossing Requests were received from Ivanhoe Primary School and the wider community seeking Council to investigate the provision of a school crossing supervisor at the existing zebra crossing on Livingstone Street, Ivanhoe, between Waterdale Road and Tate Street. A locality plan demonstrating Ivanhoe Primary School and the zebra crossing is shown in Figure 2. Pedestrian and vehicle counts were undertaken on Livingstone Street in October 2013. The results of this count are noted in Table 3. Table 3 - Pedestrian and Vehicle Data, Livingstone Street, Ivanhoe

In accordance with VicRoads guidelines for school crossings, a school crossing supervisor is warranted where the number of primary school children crossing at the crossing (minimum 20) multiplied by the number of vehicles (minimum 100) must exceed 5,000. The results confirm that the zebra crossing on Livingstone Street met the VicRoads guidelines for the provision of a school crossing supervisor. As there is existing pedestrian crossing infrastructure at this location, funding would need to be secured for the provision of a school crossing supervisor. The provision of a permanent school crossing supervisor is estimated to cost $13,000 per year, including staffing, training and equipment costs. This new site would be eligible for subsidy funding from VicRoads.

Figure 2 – Locality Map, Livingstone Street Zebra Crossing Consideration could be given to the installation of a school crossing supervisor at the Livingstone Street Zebra Crossing prior to the receipt of the subsidy funding. However, this is likely to incur a cost overrun of the current school crossing budget for the 2014/15 financial year.
CONCLUSION
During the annual review of the school crossing supervisor program, five school crossing sites were identified as not meeting the warrants for ongoing crossing supervision. Council has made previous resolutions for the ongoing supervision on four of these sites. It is proposed to retain the supervision at these sites in line with Council’s previous resolutions. It is proposed to continue to fund the remaining site not meeting the pedestrian warrant, at Mountain View Road, Briar Hill, for safety reasons. Following requests from Ivanhoe Primary School and the surrounding community, it is proposed that a school crossing supervisor be provided at the zebra crossing on Livingstone Street, Ivanhoe from the start of the 2015 school year.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council: 1. Continues to fully fund the school crossing supervision at Rattray Road,
Montmorency, Wungan Street, Macleod and Greensborough Highway, Greensborough for road safety reasons or until the appropriate warrants are met.
2. Continues to jointly fund the school crossing supervision at Fernside Avenue,

6.1 PROPOSED GENERAL LOCAL LAW NO. 1 (2015)
Author: Jan Richardson - Cemeteries Co-ordinator, City Development
File: F2014/1342
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Banyule City Council’s existing Local Law No. 1 (2005) – General Amenity ceases to operate on the 27 April 2015. As a result an extensive review was required of the existing Local Law and the development of a new proposed Local Law.
Officers leading the review were involved in the Local Government Professionals (LGPro) Better Local Laws Program. Extensive consultation was undertaken with the community, Councillors, staff and Victoria Police along with benchmarking other Councils’ Local Laws.
Using best practice principles, officers have prepared a proposed General Local Law No. 1 (2015), proposed Local Law Community Impact Statement and supporting documents to be endorsed by Council to go out for public consultation in accordance with the Local Government Act 1989 (the Act), sections 119 and 223.
The proposed Local Law has been developed so that it flows in a logical manner. The language has been written so that it is more easily understood by the community. Permit processes, enforcement provisions, infringement notices and penalties for infringements have all been reviewed and tightened.
All new proposed Local Law clauses have been assessed on a template developed using best practice principles.
The proposed Local Law Community Impact Statement follows the guidelines/template developed by the LGPro Better Local Laws Program and provides a detailed background to the review. It addresses legal considerations, explains reasons for adopting particular approaches and sets out the criteria for measuring the success of the proposed Local Law.
As required by legislation, a Human Rights Charter assessment was also completed for the whole proposed Local Law. It concludes that six human rights are impacted by the proposed Local Law and that the limitations on these rights were assessed as reasonable.
A proposed schedule of the timelines for advertising the proposed Local Law, undertaking public consultation, seeking of submissions, and adoption of the Local Law are detailed in this report. It is being recommended that Council commence the necessary statutory procedures for making of a Local Law.
OFFICER DECLARATION OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Section 80C of the Local Government Act 1989 requires members of Council staff, and persons engaged under contract to provide advice to Council, to disclose any direct or indirect interest in a matter to which the advice relates. Council officers involved in the preparation of this report have no conflict of interest in this matter.

CITY PLAN
This report is in line with Council’s City Plan key direction to “enable good governance and accountability with minimal risk”. Specifically, it meets the focus area of “5.3.1 Ensure our local laws are enforceable and deliver appropriate community benefit”.
BACKGROUND
Councils have the power to make local laws under Part 5 of the Act, which have a life of 10 years before they sunset or unless revoked earlier. Banyule City Council’s existing Local Law No. 1 (2005) – General Amenity ceases to operate on the 27 April 2015. An extensive review has been undertaken with the intention to develop a new omnibus Local Law which will commence operation when the existing Local Law No. 1 (2005) – General Amenity is revoked.
A steering committee comprising relevant officers from across the organisation was established late last year to develop a process for reviewing the Local Law. The lead project officers also participated in the LGPro Better Local Laws Program between October 2013 and August 2014. Community consultation was conducted in February-March 2014 where Council asked for comment on the perceived effectiveness of the existing Local Law. Extensive consultation was undertaken across the organisation and with the Victoria Police. Benchmarking with other Councils has also been undertaken continually between February-August 2014. Officers, using best practice principles, have prepared a proposed General Local Law No. 1 (2015) (attached) and all the associated supporting documentation, including a Community Impact Statement, assessment templates and a Human Rights Charter – Assessment of Compatibility. Legal advice will also be sought on the documentation in November 2014 to ensure Council has complied with all of its legal requirements with regard to making a local law and that the proposed local law does not breach any of the existing legislation. What are Local Laws? Local Laws:
are adopted to protect public health, safety, or amenity in a municipality. They are designed to ensure that the actions of an individual or group do not have a negative or undesirable impact on the rest of the community.
are a form of regulatory instrument.
cannot duplicate, overlap, conflict with or be inconsistent with existing Federal or State legislation.
cannot duplicate or be inconsistent with any planning scheme.
should not be created unnecessarily. Council needs to consider whether there are alternatives to a Local Law that might better suit the needs of the community.
only apply within a particular municipality.
have a 10 year life and must be renewed after that time to remain valid. This ensures that Local Laws remain current and suitable to the purpose for which they were originally made.

PROPOSED GENERAL LOCAL LAW NO. 1 (2015) cont’d
Ordinary Meeting of Council - 17 November 2014 Page 29
Council must advertise any Local Law that it intends to make and must consider any public submissions it receives about the Local Law before implementing it. Council is obliged to ensure that the regulatory approach adopted involves the least burden or the greatest advantage to its community.
HUMAN RIGHTS CHARTER
The proposed General Local Law No. 1 (2015) was assessed as a whole against the Human Rights Charter. The assessment indicated that six rights were impacted:
Freedom of movement (section 12)
Freedom of expression (section 15)
Peaceful assembly and freedom of association (section 16)
Property rights (section 20)
Right to liberty and security (section 21)
A fair hearing (section 24) In all instances, it was considered that the limitation was reasonable because the interests or impact to the majority of the community was greater than the interest or impact on an individual. Further reduction of the limitation was available to an individual through the ability to appeal permit conditions and Notices to Comply. An individual also has a further ability to reduce the limitation by taking any matter to the Magistrates Court for a decision. The Human Rights Charter – Assessment of Compatibility is shown as Appendix 3 which is attached to the Local Law Community Impact Statement.
CURRENT SITUATION
Local Law – General Changes The proposed Local Law is different to the existing Local Law. Clauses from the existing Local Law may have been moved to a new Part in the proposed Local Law. An example of this is Permits, Impounding, Fees and Enforcement which are now all grouped together under Part 2 – Administration and Enforcement. Previously these clauses were in different Parts of the existing Local Law. The language in the proposed Local Law has changed to be more easily understood by the community. Permit processes and enforcement provisions have been improved in the proposed Local Law. The clause relating to infringement notices is set out clearly and in line with legal requirements. Penalties for infringements have been reviewed. The monetary value for each penalty unit is controlled by State Legislation (the Local Government Act 1989, the Sentencing Act 1991 and the Monetary Units Act 2004) and is currently set at $100. Further, the Attorney-General’s Guidelines state that, “An infringement penalty should generally be approximately no more than 20-25% of the maximum penalty for the offence”. The maximum penalty in the Magistrates Court is 20 penalty units.
6.1

PROPOSED GENERAL LOCAL LAW NO. 1 (2015) cont’d
Ordinary Meeting of Council - 17 November 2014 Page 30
The existing Local Law No. 1 (2005) – General Amenity set the majority of penalty units for an infringement at 1, 2 or 3. As the value of the penalty unit has remained at $100 since 2005, it was considered reasonable to increase the penalties by 1 or 2 penalty units in most cases. Further, it is proposed to recommend higher penalties, of 5 and 10 penalty units, for some proposed Local Laws clauses where it is considered that failure to comply with the clause will have great impact on community safety and amenity, risks to health and potential damage to Council assets and infrastructure. Changes – New Clauses Any proposed new Local Laws clause has been developed on templates which assess the clause according to Best Practice principles. The proposed Local Law contains 13 new clauses:
Maintenance of Vehicle Crossings
Activities on Council Land (i) and (j) – these are in addition to existing clauses
Vacant Land and Buildings on Land
Maintenance of Private Drains and Stormwater Retention Systems
Hygiene Requirements for Personal Care & Body Art Businesses
Domestic Wastewater Management of Unsewered Properties
Inspection of Septic Tank System
Reuse of Domestic Greywater
Asbestos Management from Domestic Sources
Maintenance of Waste, Organic and Recycling Bins
Removal of Waste, Organic and Recycling Bins
Hard Waste Collection
Street Bins & Park Bins The template assessments for new Local Laws clauses are attached as Appendix 1 to the Local Law Community Impact Statement. Changes – Existing Local Law The existing Local Law No. 1 (2005) – General Local Law has been reviewed on a template assessment that summarises any modifications and provides relevant comments. The template assessments for the existing Local Laws clauses are attached as Appendix 2 to the Local Law Community Impact Statement.

Minor Building Works Other Acts and provisions cover this
Building Works Creating a Nuisance Other Acts and provisions cover this

Use of Council Land – Activities that require a Permit: (g) Play/practice golf (h) Sell food/drink
Duplicated with other clause regarding “engage in, play or practise any game or sport”. Now covered by the Food Act 1984
Other Issues Considered As a result of consultation, the following issues were considered as possible Local Laws clauses. More detail on these issues is provided in the Local Law Community Impact Statement (see attachment). Graffiti: Although there is State legislation covering graffiti, it continues to be a problem for Council and the source of community complaints. Victoria Police are the enforcement arm for the Graffiti Prevention Act 2007. Any evidence Council obtains regarding perpetrators of graffiti will be passed on to the Victoria Police for enforcement. The following points highlight current handling of graffiti and the issues faced by Council:
graffiti removal kits are provided to residents
graffiti is promptly removed from all public places under Council’s control
graffiti is found on the infrastructure of service authorities
prompt removal appears to deter further instances of graffiti
other Councils are putting more resources into prompt graffiti removal When graffiti is not removed promptly or allowed to grow on buildings or property it becomes unsightly and a detriment to the amenity of neighbourhoods. Because this issue is such a concern, a proposed clause has been included in the Unsightly Land

provision in Part 9 – Responsibilities of Owners and/or Occupiers in the proposed Local Law. Model Aircraft: Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998, section 101.030 and section 101.055 cover model aircraft. CASA has an enforcement arm and the introduction of a Local Law clause would overlap or duplicate existing Federal legislation. Therefore it is considered that it is not appropriate to introduce a Local Law clause relating to model aircraft. The following documents are attached to the proposed General Local Law No. 1 (2015): Schedule 1 – Notice to Comply Schedule 2 – Penalties
COMMUNITY IMPACT STATEMENT
The proposed Local Law Community Impact Statement (LLCIS) (attached) provides a background to the review and was prepared in line with Best Practice principles. The LLCIS details the matters considered when conducting the review. Legal considerations are addressed and it explains reasons for adopting particular approaches. Criteria setting out how the success of the proposed Local Law will be measured are detailed in the LLCIS. The following documents are attached to the LLCIS:
Appendix 1 – Template Assessments: New Local Laws Clauses
Appendix 2 – Template Assessments: Existing Local Law No. 1 (2005) – General Local Law
Appendix 3 – Human Rights Charter – Assessment of Compatibility

ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL ON 17 NOVEMBER 2014 Page 48
1. Introduction Banyule City Council manages a diverse range of assets that exist to provide services. Infrastructure assets alone are currently valued in excess of $800 million. These assets include roads, footpaths, bridges, drains, buildings, open space, playgrounds, ancilary infrastructure assets as well as supporting assets such as plant and equipment necessary to facilitate service delivery.
Council’s performance is measured on its ability to effectively manage its assets and provide a high level of service to its community.
2. Purpose of the Council Asset Management (AM) Policy The Asset Management Policy defines the key principles that underpin asset management and addresses the actions required to implement asset management and together with the associated strategy and asset management plans will allow for:
Better allocation of limited council resources. Improved alignment of assets with services and community expectations. Reduced demand for new council assets through better integration of service planning
and asset planning. More effective use and maintenance of existing council assets. Improved processes and accountability for capital and recurrent works.
Adherence to policy will ensure that:
Management of assets is undertaken in a structured and co-ordinated way. Council responsibilities and resources are identified. Risk management issues are addressed. Assets are managed to achieve financial, social and environmental sustainability. Legislative and regulatory requirements are achieved.
3. Background to the Policy The Department of Transport, Planning and Local Infrastructure document, Sustaining Local Assets, December 2003 is the Victorian Government’s local government asset management policy statement. It provides the policy framework and the high level guidance to help councils to develop and implement their own policies and practices and incorporates the best internationally recognised principles, policies, and processes.
The MAV STEP Asset Management program, the National Asset Management Assessment Framework (NAMAF) project and the Victorian Auditor General have all supported Local Government’s need to sustainably manage their infrastructure assets. The latest report released by the Auditor General, ‘Asset Management and Maintenance by Councils’ in February 2014, assessed whether local councils effectively manage their physical infrastructure assets. It examined whether they have developed and applied sound strategic frameworks for asset management, and implemented efficient and effective asset management practices. It also reviewed the guidance and support provided to councils in managing these assets.
The report identified significant deficiencies in asset renewal planning and practice, the quality of asset management plans, the linking of service levels to these plans, the development of asset management information systems, and in councils’ monitoring, evaluation and reporting on asset management.
Although the Report was not specifically about Banyule Council, the points made are relevant to all councils including Banyule.
The VAG’s Report recommended that local Councils should:

ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL ON 17 NOVEMBER 2014 Page 49
1. Accelerate efforts to review and update their asset management frameworks, policies and strategies to meet better practice standards
2. Make sure they have comprehensive asset management plans covering all major asset categories
3. As a priority, develop a strategy for more effectively reducing their asset renewal gaps
4. Improve their asset management information systems and knowledge of their asset portfolios to ensure they have up-to-date information on all assets
5. Identify and review the skills and resources required to effectively manage infrastructure assets, including developing a skills matrix and action plan to address identified skill and resource requirements and gaps
6. Improve the provision of information to, and engagement with, the community on asset management
7. Develop and implement comprehensive asset management monitoring, reporting and evaluation systems, and publicly report their progress and performance against plans and strategies, including against capital works budgets
4. Council Responsibilities Section 136 of the Local Government Act 1989 requires Councils to implement the principles of sound financial management which are to:-
a) manage financial risks faced by the Council prudently, having regard to economic circumstances
b) pursue spending and rating policies that are consistent with a reasonable degree of stability in the level of the rates burden
c) ensure that decisions are made and actions are taken having regard to their financial effects on future generations
d) ensure full, accurate and timely disclosure of financial information relating to the Council
Councillors, as custodians of Council assets are required to:
Ensure the Council’s legal obligations are met
Represent the community as the asset owners, and
Ensure the asset/service is maintained for present and future generation at an equitable cost

and Budget
Consistency between asset and financial reporting; valuation and depreciation methodology; asset Renewal, Upgrade, Expansion, New and Expense; aggregated asset maintenance funding; operating budget for maintain and renew activities
Operations and maintenance budget proposals are to be based on the levels of service
Capital proposals for upgrade, expansion or new assets must provide a business case when presented for Budget consideration including a critical review of the need and the “whole of life” asset maintenance cost
2. Community Participation
Community consultation shall be undertaken, to an appropriate level, to ensure community needs are met, that an analysis of cost is provided at the time of establishing budget affordability and long-term sustainability, where:
New, upgraded or extended community assets are proposed
Determine Levels of Service based on community expectations to drive the provision of asset maintenance
Where assets are at the end of their useful life, to ascertain if replacement is warranted, and if so should it be to the same specification or to something that better meets current needs
3. Best Practice
Levels of Service
Levels of service are to be listed in each Category Asset Management Plan
Levels of service for assets used in service delivery include standards of operations and defect intervention levels, public health and safety, quality and responsiveness to faults and issues with the service
Reporting and Reviews
Internal and external reports on the status of Asset Management will be derived from the one data source to ensure consistency of reports to the various sources (External - National Framework, Auditor General and MAV Renewal Gap, Grants Commission, Internal - EMT and Council, audit and review procedures)
Data Management
Council will have a single corporate asset management system or integrated application, where all asset data resides. This includes asset inventories, valuations, condition inspections, works programming and reporting
Data is to be securely managed accurate and up to date allowing for appropriate asset planning, both in the short and long term, and for informed decision making to occur
Data relevant to a work area is to be made accessible to that work area for management and operational purposes
Training
Training and education of Councilor’s and staff will occur in the development and ongoing reviews of the policy, strategy and asset management category plans
4. Public Safety and Risk Management
Risk Management approach must be utilised when assessing levels of service to ensure Public Safety
