To optimise opportunities for community access to this facility going forward, the management of the former library space has transitioned to Safe and Liveable Communities (the existing asset custodian of the heritage building), to be administered as part of the broader Community Centres Network. The space has been renamed as the Activity Room and is now available for community hire with management of bookings and customer service occurring from the Robina Community Centre administration office. To enable the hiring of the Activity Room a new fee is being introduced at $17.00 per hour and is subject to the standard fee discounts contained within the Schedule of Fees and Charges for Community Centres. The new fee aligns with other similar hireable rooms across the community centre network. Pimpama School of Arts The Pimpama School of Arts is a traditional old style community hall located at 15 Clark Way Pimpama. Previously the hall was under a State Government lease to Trustees of the hall. In 2010 the Trustees relinquished their lease and the trusteeship of the hall was offered to the

Since that time the hall bookings and administration has been managed through a mix of direct City management, a trustee permit and later a management agreement with Ormeau Lions Club. Due to the dynamic population growth and demand for community facilities in the greater Pimpama area, a review of the hall management was conducted and discussions held with the Ormeau Lions Club. A mutual agreement was reached that resulted in the management of the hall reverting back to the City in June 2018. As a consequence a new fee is being introduced for community hire at $38.00 per hour and is subject to the standard fee discounts contained within the Schedule of Fees and Charges for Community Centres. All existing hirers are transitioning from a flat hire fee of $25.00 per hour to the new hire fee resulting in a reduced cost for not for profit organisations and community groups and a small increase for commercial hirers. The new fee aligns with other similar hireable rooms across the community centre network. Both new fees were not included in the budget deliberations for 2018-19 as they occurred after the deadline for submissions. 6 ALIGNMENT TO THE CORPORATE PLAN, CORPORATE STRATEGIES AND OPERATIONAL PLAN Supporting the delivery of Gold Coast 2020 B We manage the City responsibly Our Stewardship of the City provides value for money to ratepayers 7 Funding AND RESOURCING REQUIREMENTS Not Applicable. 8 RISK MANAGEMENT Not Applicable. 9 STATUTORY MATTERS The Local Government Act 2009 requires Council to maintain a Register of Fees and Charges. 10 COUNCIL POLICIES Not Applicable. 11 DELEGATIONS Not Applicable.

13 STAKEHOLDER IMPACTS All existing hirers have been contacted as part of transition planning for both community facilities and no detrimental impacts are anticipated. 14 TIMING The new fees will be applied from date of approval. 15 CONCLUSION The report recommends two new hire fees be added to the 2018-19 Register of Fees and Charges for spaces at two Community Centres (Mudgeeraba Old Post Office and Pimpama School of Arts). This will allow the community to book these spaces consistent with the rest of the City’s Community Centres network. 16 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council resolves as follows: That the Register of Fees and Charges 2018-19 be amended to include the changes for Mudgeeraba Old Post Office and new listing for Pimpama School of Arts as tabled in Attachment 1.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Not Applicable. 3 PURPOSE OF REPORT

The purpose of this report is to recommend the cessation of the City’s Honorary Park Ranger (HPR) program. 4 PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS

Ex Minute H96.1212.001 (in part) The former Health and Cultural Services Committee carried a recommendation to authorise personnel as HPR’s and rescind others for various reasons. The honorarium of an annual payment of $240 for HPR’s in control of flood gates, and $120 for those who supervised parks and reserves, was also retained (refer Attachment 2). Ex Minute R99.0825.006 dated pre 1971 – no copy found Ex Minute R93.10A.078 (in part) The former Community Services Committee carried a recommendation to apply an annual $240 payment to HPR’s in control of flood gates and $120 for those who supervised parks and reserves (refer Attachment 1); 5 DISCUSSION

The HPR program was approved and established by Council many decades ago (prior to 1971) to engage residents who lived near specific parks and could perform specific duties such as enforcing Council by-laws, locking gates in parks, checking flood gates, or more general duties such as reporting park maintenance matters. Initially the payment for such duties ranged from $20 to $200 per annum (refer R93.10A.078 – Attachment 1) depending on responsibilities. It is considered that these arrangements were originally established as a cost effective monitoring function of specific City assets prior to the City evolving to employ persons for the specific functions that the HPR’s were asked to monitor and regulate i.e. parks maintenance staff and City Law Officers.


ITEM 4 (Continued) HONORARY PARK RANGERS CS433/408/02(P1) In 1991 authorisation for HPR’s to take action under Council By-laws was cancelled as the HPR’s were not formally authorised under Council’s By-laws and any unauthorised action could be legally ineffective or civil litigation could be taken against the HPR involved and Council. From approximately 1992 HPR’s began submitting monthly reports to Council regarding incidents requiring action (i.e. litter, vandalism, dogs, golfers, motorised vehicles, horses and other general issues) and any further action required (equipment broken, toilets not functioning, bins overflowing, toilets needed cleaning or signs needed). In 1993 and 1996 Council resolved to rescind the authority of HPR’s that no longer carried out duties and re-authorising other HPR’s that did. The applicable annual payment was established at $240 for HPR’s that monitored flood gates and $120 for HPR’s that monitored parks and reserves. It was determined at that time that the payment of the honorarium effectively placed the HPR under the employ of Council whilst carrying out authorised duties and therefore eligible for cover under Council’s insurance. In 2000 it was reported that approximately 30 HPR’s had been authorised by Council since the program began. Health, Regulatory & Lifeguard Services Branch (HRLSB) have written to all active and authorised HPR’s on an annual basis up until 2013-14, inviting them to continue their duties under the condition that they complete and return the required application form. On receipt of the completed form, they would receive their entitlement. The number of HPR’s engaged by Council reduced considerably up and until this period. Correspondence sent in December 2013 from HRLSB confirms that there were only three HPR’s remaining claiming a $120 honorarium. The remaining HPR’s are confirmed to have been paid up until the 2013-14 financial year for providing their services to either Preston Park, Cedar Creek Park or Cabbage Tree Point. In January 2018, the City received an enquiry from one of the remaining HPR’s stating that he had not received correspondence or payment since the 2013-14 financial year. As far as can be practicably understood, it is considered that the cessation of correspondence from Council at that time was a simple administrative oversight brought about by long standing responsible employees leaving Council. Confirmation has been sought and received that no payments have been issued to the three HPR’s since 2013-14. The City’s Parks and Recreational Services section outlines that there now exists many other low risk volunteer programs for members of the community to participate in, such as environmental volunteering and beaches to bushland volunteer land care programs, which provide worthwhile and rewarding projects for community members. The reporting of maintenance issues has also been enhanced with the introduction of the City App for all community members to utilise and the success of Neighbourhood Watch programs has also somewhat superseded the HPR program. HRLSB therefore consider that the City has evolved beyond the need to employ persons to monitor and maintain the City’s parks. There is no record of any training being provided to such residents to align these employees with other employees and therefore minimise individual and corporate risks. It is therefore recommended that the HPR program be


ITEM 4 (Continued) HONORARY PARK RANGERS CS433/408/02(P1) concluded effective 30 June 2018. HRLSB also recommends that the three remaining HPR’s be advised and thanked by way of a letter for their years of service. Further, HRSLB consider it reasonable to pay the remaining three HPR’s for their past four years’ service (since 2013-14) equivalent to $480 each ($120 x 4). 6 ALIGNMENT TO THE CORPORATE PLAN, CORPORATE STRATEGIES AND

ITEM 4 (Continued) HONORARY PARK RANGERS CS433/408/02(P1) 15 CONCLUSION

The HPR program was approved and established by Council many decades ago (prior to 1971) to engage residents, who lived near specific parks and could perform specific duties such as enforcing Council by-laws, locking gates in parks, checking flood gates, or more general duties such as reporting park maintenance matters. In 1991, authorisation for HPR’s to take action under Council by-laws was cancelled and the focus of responsibilities then was primarily reporting incidents. Health, Regulatory & Lifeguard Services Branch (HRLSB) have written to all active and authorised HPR’s on an annual basis up until 2013-14, inviting them to continue their duties under the condition that they complete and return the required application form. On receipt of the completed form they would receive their entitlement. The number of HPR’s engaged by Council reduced considerably up and until this period. Correspondence sent in December 2013 from HRLSB confirms that there were only three HPR’s remaining claiming a $120 honorarium. The remaining HPR’s are confirmed to have been paid up until the 2013-14 financial year for providing their services to either Preston Park, Cedar Creek Park or Cabbage Tree Point. HRLSB consider that the City has evolved beyond the need to employ persons to monitor and maintain the City’s parks. There is no record of any training being provided to such residents to align these employees with other employees and therefore minimise individual and corporate risks. It is therefore recommended that the HPR program be concluded effective 30 June 2018. 16 RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that Council resolves as follows: 1 That the report/attachments be deemed non-confidential except for those parts deemed

by the Chief Executive Officer to remain confidential in accordance with sections 171 (3) and 200 (5) of the Local Government Act 2009.

2 That the Honorary Park Ranger program is discontinued effective 30 June 2018.

3 That the three remaining Honorary Park Rangers in the City be paid the applicable $120 contribution per annum in recognition of their service since their last payment for the 2013-14 financial year.

4 That a letter be sent to the three remaining Honorary Park Rangers advising of the

cessation of the program, including a Certificate of Appreciation for their service.
