Introduction The Council has adopted a Delivery Plan setting out the services and activities that it intends to achieve over the current term, being a four year period. To achieve these commitments a number of individual projects and activities will need to be carried out in each of the four years. In addition to the Delivery Program objectives, the Council has reviewed the strategic outcomes that the organisation needs to achieve to meet the needs of the key stakeholder groups and achieve the outcomes that indicate success. The Operating Plan sets out the main projects and activities to be carried out for the coming twelve month period to provide the services and achieve the outcomes set.

Reading this document The activities that relate to changing the key performance indicators are grouped back to the indicator that is looking to be impacted on.

Council does not run a full allocation costing system. Budgets are shown where there are separate costs that relate to the service or activity in the main table. A number of wage and salary costs are not directly allocated and therefore are grouped against one activity, although in reality covering a range of program activities. The individual projects have had costing put in to show the expected costs including all the direct wages based on estimated time spent on the project. They do not include all indirect management cost or overheads.

In the financial section outlining all the programs the amount shown is the funds that will be allocated to that function, including expenses, setting aside cash for the future and capital costs. The financial budget section shows the full accounting for the various activities, indicating the revenue received as well as the debt incurred or being repaid. A section setting out the budgets as a set of financial statement is also provided to allow for a financial overview of the position of the Council.

Strategic Key Performance Indicators The Governing body of Council has developed a range of key indicators that show whether the Council organisation is achieving outcomes that are important to show the organisation is successful. The following table lists the key performance indicators and sets out the last result and the minimum expectation for performance. Where the current target is not met this is shaded in red. A range of strategies and actions are then listed to show the actions to be undertaken in the coming year which will lead to the organisation achieving the desired level of performance.

The Operating Plan shows targets that are expected to be achieved at the end of the twelve-month period. The targets need to be achievable within the resources and actions to be taken within the Operating Plan and in some instances these are not the ideal level that the Council would like, but interim steps towards a longer term target, that will be expressed in the Community Strategic Plan or Delivery Plans. An example of this is the percentage of people reporting feeling safe in their homes. While a much higher percentage would be ideal, Council has only a relatively small amount of resource and control for achieving changes in this area and thus ability to change the indicators. Council does believe that the efforts we are undertaking should lead to an increased number of residents reporting feeling safe, and thus has a target that indicates more people should feel safe when the next survey is undertaken.

Strategic Performance Indicator Projects The current results indicate that there are four main areas where new strategies will need to be implemented to achieve the desired outcomes:


1) Satisfaction with Council: Based on the last community satisfaction survey overall satisfaction and satisfaction with communication are core aspects that need to be improved. These have improved over the last twelve months, but further improvement is needed. A key component of this was considered to be returning calls and resolving the issues early.

2) Economic and jobs growth: Increasing the value of the local economy is seen as a key outcome for improving the community. 3) Innovation Saving: Increased innovation to produce savings. 4) Staffing: Reduced unplanned leave and injuries are required to meet the targets.

The following strategies and actions are included in this Operating Plan to address these areas.

Area Action Details Contact Person Completed

Resolving matters before second contact is made

Implement customer management systems

A decision has been made to purchase a software platform that will allow the Council to build automated processes and forms. These will be developed to allow for tracking of the progress on customer contacts, escalations of matters not resolved and automated responses so that the customers can be informed of what is happening with their issue.

Manager Governance and Information Technology

Dec 2016

Prioritise customer response Implementation of systems to rapidly escalate outstanding issues to the General Manager as a method of ensuring that a high priority is given to resolving issues is seen as essential to ensuring a high priority is placed on resolving issues promptly.

Matters would be assessed against the service standards and where these had not been met the matter would be escalated.


Dec 2016

Projects completed on time and budget

Implementation and customisation of work management systems

The software platform to soon be purchased by Council will allow for processes to be automated as well as workflows developed to allow tracking of the work required to be undertaken.


Jun 2017



Making savings through innovation

Continue service review process by undertaking at least 6 service reviews

A major contributor to the satisfaction of the Council is the perception of wastefulness. Service reviews have the dual purpose of identifying any possible improvements in service delivery efficiency and effectiveness as well as providing information to the community to show that the Councils is operating at its most effective.

A large part of the cost will come from reallocation of staff, with some cost to cover consultancies that allow for testing of service provision against best practice across the relevant industry for the service that is being carried out.

Service reviews are planned to be carried out in conjunction with other councils to maximise the benefits from the costs and the group of Council will have to jointly agree to what services to target as priorities.

Locations will be based on professional advice from NSW Police Force as to where cameras as likely to be useful in deterring crime or capturing evidence.

Director Community Engagement

Community safety

Work to achieve Breaking the Cycle outcomes that improve the community’s wellbeing

The NSW Government has indicated a desire to find strategies that will lead to long term solutions to the crime and anti-social activities that detract from the community’s safety.

Increased resources are being provided to the area for a new strategy and Council will need to work in with this group to help gain positive changes.


Ongoing Project for multiple years.

Community Interest Projects Council has been making a large investment into the road infrastructure as a result of funds being invested by the community through additional rate funds. This needs to continue, as the poor road conditions was the second highest reason given for why people have low satisfaction with Council. The survey also shows that the community is expecting activities to occur improving other services or infrastructure as well.

Over the last five years the annual investment into the road network has doubled. Efficiency savings in other areas were expected to free up funds towards other community infrastructure. This has not yet eventuated to any great extent as over the last five years revenues (excluding rates) have decreased, such as interest revenue dropping by $300,000 over that period and the FAG grant being $172,000 less due to the freeze on indexation. While Council is now effectively putting more into capital replenishment overall the previous approach was to take out loans to fund projects in different areas and services, so in effect the community does not see Council doing more, it is seen to be doing less as taking out $4.8million less in loans and using $1.8million less of reserved cash that was spent on a range of infrastructure items is not noticeable as benefits to the community. The previous approach was politically positive, but financially disastrous over the longer term.


There is a need to show that activity is being undertaken in areas other than roads. Two other areas show up as having a large gap between the service quality being provided from our infrastructure and the service level expected by the community. The strategic direction was to fund roads through the rate levy and then redirect funds towards the other infrastructure as the financial position improved. The adverse changes to income and rate peg levels at lower than the cost of inflation to the Council means that this strategy will not provide funding within a reason able period of time. Funds have been reallocated to allow improvements to the classes of infrastructure which the community has the greatest dissatisfaction with, to start improving the condition over time.

There are many things that Council undertakes that need doing, but they are the base things that the community simply expects Council to do. Replenishment of roads, water, sewer and similar infrastructure do not generate high levels of satisfaction as they are simply seen as the things that are expected. In this Operating Plan the projects that are likely to have a material impact on the community have been identified here to show that Council is undertaking projects that improve the lives of members of our community in different areas. Council still needs to ensure that it is funding the basic services, as transferring funds away from ensuring the long term sustainability of the basic infrastructure the community needs will be detrimental. Those projects are listed below.

Types of items include: S = Ongoing Service, P = Individual project, C = Capital replacement, N = New capital

Note: The funds shown here do not always directly align with the financial budget line items as not all costs are sometimes included in the specific budgets. Where the major cost of a function is not specifically separately costed no allocations is shown. Net investment shows the amount spent on operating, capital and debt repayment.

Site development strategy for Crescent Head Waste Management Centre

Services agreed to under Delivery Plan Council needs to have a clear picture of the standard of service that it delivers to the community as its minimum standards. These standards need to be met and Council should look to exceed them where it can. The following table looks at the service standards that currently exist and bring them together. In many cases these are based on the performance standards set in the Delivery Plan which covers this term of Council. The process of developing service standards is underway and that process will affect what are the service standards as Council’s information is collated and better understood.

At the higher level the net cost of providing the service and replacement of assets is shown to give an indication of the net costs of providing the service to the community. General funds provided by the community are excluded from the calculations, unless it is commercial type income, to show the net impact of providing this service from the available general income available. Depreciation is not included so as to only show the investment this period, not the investments in the past. This varies from the financial summaries, which show the full income and expenditure in a format similar to financial statements.
