REPORTCommunity

Mayor’s MessageWith my first term as Mayor of Hawkesbury nearly at its end, I have a new appreciation of the complexities of managing a large local government area. In September of this year a local government election will be held and it is therefore an appropriate time to reflect on the achievements that have been made by Council over the past year.

From buildings, roads and infrastructure to community services, communication, environment and management, Council is constantly endeavouring to improve the service we provide to our community.

Over the past year we have been working towards developing a fully integrated planning and reporting system, as directed by the

New South Wales State Government. This integrated system is based around our Hawkesbury Community Strategic Plan which was adopted in 2010. Over the next year we will be further implementing this system, working towards achieving projects and tasks outlined in our Delivery Program and Operational Plan. A Resourcing Strategy has been developed which includes a Long Term Financial Plan, a Workforce Management Plan and an Asset Management Plan which will support this process.

Asset management, maintenance and improvement are always a major focus of expenditure by Council each year. We have been extremely fortunate in securing many grants and funding commitments to complete many important community projects which are outlined in this Community Report.

In November 2011, Council completed construction of its biggest grant funded project to date, the South Windsor Effluent Reuse Scheme. The project will provide recycled water to playing fields and schools for irrigation purposes and will reduce the need for potable water for irrigation purposes in the South Windsor and Bligh Park area. It will also provide recycled water to a number of businesses in the area, reducing their use of potable water in their activities.

This past year also saw the introduction of a one-stop-shop model of Customer Service which was a great achievement and step forward to better serving our customers needs. This change has enabled customer enquires to be dealt with more effectively and efficiently with Customer Service Officers being trained in all customer transactions and enquiries. A new front service counter was built with provision for payment facilities, disability access and a hearing loop; and a ‘back office’ telephone enquiry centre was also established.

Collaboration between the community and Council is important in continuing to implement the priorities of residents as outlined in the Hawkesbury Community Strategic Plan. Council provides many opportunities for community input through our public consultation process. I encourage residents of the Hawkesbury community to embrace this opportunity and take part to help shape the Hawkesbury for the future over the coming year.

Information on a number of significant achievements in line with the visions of the Hawkesbury Community Strategic Plan are provided in this report. I hope you enjoy reading about them.

Looking afterPeople and Place

Oasis Centre UpgradeThe Hawkesbury Oasis Centre underwent refurbishment, which included the replacement of the air conditioning in the administration offices and the facilities rooms including the Gym.

Council has also installed the latest state of the art solar heating technology to the spa and showers. This has immensely reduced gas consumption and has significantly reduced the Centre’s gas costs and carbon emissions.

Hawkesbury Regional GalleryThe Hawkesbury Regional Gallery has achieved another milestone this year with its 50th major exhibition launched in April. More than 56,000 visitors have passed through the doors since opening in 2005.

As well as exhibitions, the Gallery has hosted a variety of public programs including talks, workshops and film screenings. One of the most interesting programs held this year was Performance in the Gallery, a regular drama workshop for people with mild to moderate disabilities, which has been nominated for an award through the Local Government and Shires Association Cultural Awards.

Residents wishing to become more involved in the life of the Gallery are invited to become Gallery members. Members receive invitations to all exhibition openings and events and a discount on workshops and merchandise.

For more information contact the Hawkesbury Regional Gallery on 4560 4441.

Council wins Engineering Award Council won an Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia (IPWEA) NSW Excellence Award in May 2012 which recognised Council’s innovation in carrying out its recent Parks Asset Audit project.

The Parks Asset Audit project, utilised the capabilities of iPads to photograph, record coordinates and allow site inspection details to be entered in a simple intuitive form. The system was also integrated back into Council’s Geographic Information System (GIS) for incorporation into databases and for use in our Asset Management System.

This information will help assist Council to manage, maintain and improve the numerous assets and parks components spread over the Hawkesbury local government area.

Supporting Community ServicesCouncil owns and maintains 18 community centres and 12 child care centres. In this past financial year more than $500,000 was spent on upgrading and renovating these buildings. Major works were carried out at Greenhills, Hobartville and Wilberforce Long Day Care Centres as well as Richmond Occasional Child Care Centre. Renovations included painting, upgrading of bathroom facilities and new floor coverings.

Library Inspiring Readers Young and Old 2012 is the National Year of Reading and Hawkesbury Library Service has been promoting the joys and benefits of reading. The National Year of Reading is about supporting reading initiatives; respecting the oral tradition of storytelling and helping people discover and rediscover the magic of books.

Throughout 2012 our libraries have been bringing the love of books to life with a variety of events which have inspired readers young and old.

In November 2011, the Library received accolades from its peers when it took out a NSW Marketing Award for Public Libraries in the events category. The award was for the Hawkesbury Family History Fair which was a one day event at the Library, attended by 1,500 people. The Library won $1,500 worth of library audio visual and large print products.

We want the Hawkesbury to be a place where we have a community in which the area’s character is preserved and lifestyle choices are provided with sustainable planned, well serviced development, within strongly connected, safe and friendly neighbourhoods.

Parks given the Thumbs Up In the past financial year, Council spent approximately $350,000 tupgrade our park facilities, to ensure they continue to accommodafor the ever changing needs of our community.

• Howe Park, Windsor Improvements included the installation of a new viewing observation deck, table and chair units and new park seating along the pathway between Howe Park and Rickabys Creek. The project was funded by the Australian Government’s Region and Local Community Infrastructure Program.

• St Albans Park, St Albans This park has been improved with funding under the Australian Government’s Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program. Additional pathways and improved seating was provided as part of works under the master plan for the park. This project also encompassed weed eradication and bush regeneration of two other reserves.

• Macquarie Park, Freemans Reach Stages one and two of the improvement plan have now been finalised. Almost $200,000, funded by Council, was spent on upgrades to create a great space for children and families to enjoy. Additions include picnic facilities, a shaded play area for children aged up to seven and the installation of an explorer dome, that integrates rope play with slides and swings suitable for children up to the age of 14.

• Susella Crescent Reserve, North Richmond Council funded $52,800, to create a new playground featuring a merry go round, double slides and a unique climbing unit that integrates rope play and rock climbing walls.

Hawkesbury Regional MuseumThe Hawkesbury Regional Museum has broken all attendance records with more than 3,000 visitors calling into the Museum in January 2012.

In the main building, display cases are being installed to accommodate new exhibits, including the much anticipated display about Richmond RAAF.

In 2011/2012 the Museum picked up two more awards, the Greater Sydney Tourism Award for Best Cultural and Heritage Attraction, and a Highly Commended Award for Collection Management. The latter award relates to the collection of needlework and early 20th Century fashion created by two Bilpin residents who have become known as The Misses Stewart.

KeepOurAreaGraffitiFreeSince May 2011, the Rotary Club of Windsor has been helping to

beautify Windsor, South Windsor, Bligh Park, McGraths Hill and Pitt Town by reducing the amount of graffiti through their Graffiti Removal Project.

Council provided $10,000 in seed funding to the Rotary Club of Windsor to purchase a purpose built trailer, high pressure water spray unit, graffiti removal products, personal protective equipment and other ancillary items that are required to carry out the removal work.

The Hawkesbury community has logged a total of 263 cases of graffiti to date and 220 of these cases have been cleaned by the Rotary Club of Windsor. The commercial value of the work being carried out by volunteers at the Rotary Club of Windsor equates to more than $62,000.

Council is now also supporting the Rotary Club of Kurrajong, North Richmond Inc. who have established a second Graffiti Removal Project. The project began operating in May and means Kurrajong, Kurrajong Heights, North Richmond,

Richmond, Kurmond and the surrounding commercial and business areas will also benefit from a Graffiti Removal Project.

We want the Hawkesbury to be a place where we have a community dedicated to minimising its ecological footprint, enjoying a clean river and an environment that is nurtured, healthy, protected and provides opportunities for its sustainable use.

Sustainable EventsCouncil has developed a Sustainable Events Management Action Plan and Guide to support the planning and management of events in the Hawkesbury area.

This guide was produced to assist event organisers of the Hawkesbury to be as sustainable as possible. It is the ‘how-to’ implementation guide, providing hands on tips and checklist to help any event organiser in the area.

The guide will help all event organisers to understand their obligations and responsibilities in the planning and delivery of safe, socially responsible and ecologically sensitive events, thereby maximising the positive environmental, social and economic legacies of events held in the Hawkesbury.

It lists basic sustainability principles which act as a check list to help event organis-ers to think of ways in which they can make their event more environmentally friendly.

Council’s Sustainable Events Management Action Plan and Guide are available for free and can be downloaded from the events pages on the Council website, www.hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au.

Hawkesbury Students participate in Waste Education PresentationsFree waste education presentations provided on behalf of Council, by an EnviroCom Australia Environmental Educator have been very popular this year with 43 presentations covering topics such as ‘Recycling Rules’, ‘Being Resourceful’, ‘It’s a Wormy World’, and ‘The 3 R’s’ being made.

Through the Waste and Sustainability Improvement Payment (WaSIP) Program, Council received funding to deliver an additional 30 presentations to four primary schools in the Hawkesbury on two new topics.

Council also received funding to implement a School Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) with a waste focus to three high schools within the Hawkesbury. The SEMP Program for waste minimisation provides schools with guidance to investigate, develop, plan and implement a sustainable waste minimisation strategy.

Bede Polding, Richmond and Windsor High Schools have committed to the Waste SEMP program.

EffluentReuseSchemeNowinOperationSouth Windsor Effluent Reuse Scheme was officially opened last November and is now pumping recycled water back to our parks and dramatically reducing the nitrogen and phosphorous levels being discharged into the Hawkesbury River.

The scheme involved building a recycled water facility at the South Windsor Sewage Treatment Plant and laying 10 kilometres of pipe to distribute the water to parks and school playing fields in the Hawkesbury region. Recycled water is also supplied to a number of businesses in the area reducing their use of potable water in their activities.

The Australian Government contributed $9,138,500 to the construction of the $9.8 mil-lion recycled water scheme through the Water for the Future initiative. The project was one of seven that form the Australian Government-funded Hawkesbury-Nepean River Recovery Program which is improving river health by increasing the water available for environmental flows and reducing nutrient loads.

Hawkesbury Community Nursery UpgradeThe Hawkesbury Community Nursery received $55,000 funding to upgrade its propagation facilities, resulting in greater opportunities for training and volunteering and improved supplies of Hawkesbury indigenous native plants for the community.

The Nursery upgrade involved the purchase and installation of a greenhouse polytunnel, including the installation of fixed irrigation equipment, screens, heating, and galvanised steel benches.

The upgrade was made possible with $45,000 funding from the Australian Government Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program and $10,000 funding from the Hawkesbury-Nepean Catchment Management Authority.

The Hawkesbury Community Nursery is located at 10 Mulgrave Road, Mulgrave. For further information on nursery volunteer days, visit Council’s website, www.hawkesbury.nsw.gov.au.

Save Power Kits Available for Loan at Library The Office of Environment and Heritage is supporting the community to reduce power use and to be more energy efficient by providing a number of Save Power Kits to NSW public libraries which are available for loan.

The kit is useful in identifying the appliances which are the biggest users of electricity in your home, and are available for loan from Hawkesbury Central Library. For more information please contact Hawkesbury Library Service on 4560 4460.

we have a community which is provided with facilities and services eff iciently linked by well maintained roads and accessible and integrated transport and communication systems which also connect surrounding regions.

Massive Road Repair Program Council invests significant resources in managing existing road assets. Despite this investment, our road assets are ageing and the funding required for renewal is ever increasing.

Council is responsible for the maintenance of 223 kilometres of urban roads, 510 kilometres of sealed rural roads and 299 kilometres of urban and rural gravel roads.

In the 2011/ 2012 financial year, almost $12.4 million was spent on road assets and road construction, maintenance and repairs throughout the Hawkesbury. This figure includes funding secured from the Australian Government’s Roads to Recovery Grants as well as RTA, now Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), grant funded projects.

This year Council also undertook major road restoration work associated with flood damage. More than $695,000 in funding was secured through the Commonwealth Government’s Natural Disaster Fund to carry out these works. Council will be receiving in excess of $2.5 million dollars in additional funding in the next financial year to complete works required.

Some of the major works carried out this year include:• Hermitage Road, Kurrajong. • Snailham Crescent, South Windsor• Pitt Street, Richmond • Cycleway, Hawkesbury Valley Way, Clarendon• Terrace Road, North Richmond

Luke Worsley Bridge OpenedThe Luke Worsley Bridge was officially opened in December 2011 in honour of Windsor resident, Private Luke Worsley, who was killed in action while serving with the 4th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (Commando) in Afghanistan on 23 November 2007.

The $700,000 Bridge which stands at 8.9 metres high, 2.4 metres wide and runs 40 metres in length now caters for safe pedestrian and bicycle crossing. It provides a link between Deerubbin Park, Cornwallis (Windsor Lowlands) on the western side of Rickabys Creek and Howe Park, Windsor on the eastern side of Rickabys Creek. The Bridge forms part of the bicycle network that will eventually connect the two main town centres of the Hawkesbury.

The Bridge was constructed with the support of a $168,000 New South Wales Government Greenspace Program Grant.

Working towards an Accessible and Inclusive Hawkesbury Council has recently adopted an Access and Inclusion Policy to provide a framework for the preparation of a draft Access and Inclusion Plan. The Plan is being put together by the Hawkesbury Access and Inclusion Advisory Committee.

As part of the Plan, the Committee has developed and trialled an Access and Inclusion Checklist – a tool which has been designed to help service providers and business owners to identify and respond to barriers which may prevent customers from using their services.

Members of the Access and Inclusion Advisory Committee are available to work with businesses to undertake access audits. Committee members have been trained in access auditing procedures and can advise on practical options and simple adjustments which can be made to improve the accessibility of business premises.

Windsor Wharf Reconstruction CompletedAs part of a joint funded program between Council and NSW Maritime Better Boating Program, $700,000 funding was provided to re-construct the Windsor Wharf.

Following an extensive design process in partnership with NSW Maritime, work on the reconstruction began in November 2011. It was determined that a floating structure would be the most appropriate form for the Wharf.

The new Wharf can now accommodate both private and commercial vessels and can survive the various flooding levels that can occur on the Hawkesbury River. It will provide significant access improvements to the River and additional amenities for all boat users.
