5. PETITIONS
5.1 PETITION - REQUEST TO APPROVE LOCAL PLANNING SCHEME NO.3 AMENDMENT NO.77
The following petition containing 28 verified signatures has been received by the City:- “Local Planning Scheme No.3 Amendments No.77 rezoning Lots 109 and 110, Lots 111 - 117, 204, 120 - 129 Beach Road and Lot 2 Erindale Road, Hamersley. We, the undersigned, having considered the Amendment No.77 LPS3 rezoning proposal, are of the opinion that the proposal will have minimal adverse impact of any on the current residents' amenity but it then will propose a mix of housing options lacking in the area with some commercial space for professionals wanting a move out of the CBD. We hereby fully approve of the rezoning proposal.” This petition is an addition to two other petitions received and tabled at the Council meetings held 22 May 2018 and 7 August 2018. The petition has been forwarded to the City Planning Business Unit.

Item 6.1 8
6. RESPONSES TO PREVIOUS QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TAKEN ON NOTICE
The responses to questions that were answered during Public Question Time at the previous Council meeting were published in the minutes of that meeting. Only the responses to questions that were taken on notice at the previous Council meeting appear in the agenda below.
6.1 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME - P VIANNA
The following question submitted by Mr P Vianna, 22 Dalwood Court, Hamersley WA 6022 was taken on notice at the Council Meeting held Tuesday 18 September 2018. Q2. “With regards to the 60km per hour zone along Erindale Road, between Reid Highway
and Beach Road, this is creating issues of traffic banking up and making it harder now to access. Council put it forward to Main Roads to change it - can Council please change this back to 70km per hour? This would make life better for the residents of Hamersley.”
A2. The Director Infrastructure advised that Main Roads WA is responsible for all
regulatory speed zoning, however he also advised that the question would be taken on notice and a written response provided.
Additional Information
A2. The impact of the speed zone reduction on congestion along Erindale Road is
considered to be negligible, as travel speeds during peak periods are already restricted by the high number of vehicles on this road section. The reduced travel speed also has negligible impact on travel times under free flow conditions between Reid Highway and Beach Road. Congestion is also largely dictated by the phasing of the traffic signals at signalised intersections at Reid Highway and Beach Road, rather than the posted speed zone. The reduction of the speed zone along this section of Erindale Road improves safety for motorists and pedestrians, and provides consistency with posted speed zones north of Beach Road and south of Reid Highway. Accordingly, the City would not support any proposal to increase the posted speed limit back to 70km per hour.
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 6.2 9
6.2 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME - R STEVEN
The following question submitted by Ms R Steven, 15 Manton Court, Hamersley WA 6022 was taken on notice at the Council Meeting held Tuesday 18 September 2018. Q1. "Are you aware that the very similar developments at Cockburn Central / Cockburn
Gateways Shopping Centre resulted in the intersection at Beelier Drive, Midgegooroo Avenue and Gateways North Access Road being placed on the Cockburn Blackspots List 2016, with 136 accidents and 19 injuries in the five years to 2016?”
A1. The Mayor advised that the question would be taken on notice and a written response
provided.
Additional Information
A1. The City does not have any history on the reasons for the high crash rate at the above mentioned intersection in the City of Cockburn, and it is therefore difficult to determine if it is related to abutting land uses or other road related factors. The City will, however, continue to monitor crash statistics along Beach Road, including the two signalised intersections with Glendale Avenue and Erindale Road, to determine if any modifications or upgrades are required in the future. If appropriate, funding grants for road safety improvements may be applied for under the State and National Black Spot Programs.
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 6.3 10
6.3 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME - A DAVIES
The following questions submitted by Mr A Davies, 50 Francis Avenue, Karrinyup WA 6018 were taken on notice at the Council Meeting held Tuesday 18 September 2018. Q2. "Has the City of Stirling tested the market with regards to their insurance
commitments? If so, will the ratepayers expect a substantial savings in a like manner to what was reported that the City of Cambridge received?”
A2. The Director Corporate Services advised that in terms of insurance, the City is in a
self-insurance scheme, and so has not gone to market on that scheme. However, the City did undertake a benchmarking exercise last year, which showed that the City was receiving good value. In addition, the City’s 2018 / 2019 premiums are around 7% less than they were from 2017 / 2018.
Q3. “How much money did the City of Stirling pay out for insurance for each of the last
three financial years?” A3. The Mayor advised that the question would be taken on notice and a written response
provided.
Additional Information
A2. The costs of insurance premiums (Workers Compensation, Public Liability, Property and Motor Vehicle) have been as follows:-
2017 / 2018 - $2.8 million
2016 / 2017 - $3.7 million
2015 / 2016 - $3.4 million
A3. The City is collating this information. A full response will be provided to Mr Davies as
soon as possible, and the response will also be published in the minutes of the 2 October 2018 Council meeting.
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 6.4 11
6.4 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME - R MITCHELL
The following question submitted by Mr R Mitchell, 9 Clark Place, Karrinyup WA 6018 was taken on notice at the Council Meeting held Tuesday 18 September 2018. Q7. “Being a public utility and when dealing with large expected costs for services, it is
proper and expected that the process be conducted in the public domain by way of competitive disclosure or tendering. I was informed by this Council administration that as they part own WALGA Insurance, the City does not require disclosure. That is not correct. WALGA, like all insurers, has an insurance broker, being Jardine, Lloyd and Thompson. The City is only a member of WALGA, not an owner of their insurance. Why are not three advertised quotes gathered and publicly disclosed and then not just the cheapest accepted?”
A7. The Mayor advised that the question would be taken on notice and a written response
provided.
Additional Information
A7. The City is currently a member of the Local Government Insurance Scheme (LGIS). This is a self-insurance scheme which is owned by participating members and therefore a quotation process is not required. However, it should be noted that the City continually strives for value for money when looking at the services it procures and continues to monitor opportunities within the market.
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 6.5 12
6.5 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME - P ELLIS
The following question submitted by Mr P Ellis, 7 Taxal Close, Carine WA 6020 was taken on notice at the Council Meeting held Tuesday 18 September 2018. Q3. “May I refer to the response to question two from the meeting held 4 September 2018,
line four and five, which states (verbatim) "in the 2017/2018 financial year 85,188 properties paid the standard waste service charge and 6,828 shared a service charge" (end verbatim). But it only produced $851,880. So can you please clarify how much the 6,828 paid?”
A3. The Mayor advised that the question would be taken on notice and a written response provided.
Additional Information
A3. 6,828 shared services generate $1,980,120 in revenue which is used to deliver the multiple unit dwelling service. The shared service increased by $5.00 in the 2018/2019 financial year therefore an additional $34,140 was generated through the increase in the service charge.
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 6.6 13
6.6 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME - L JACK
The following question submitted by Ms L Jack, 35 Sandover Drive, Karrinyup WA 6018 was taken on notice at the Council Meeting held Tuesday 18 September 2018. Q1. “I don’t know why I have to give my personal address, when the developer from Wood
Street gave a business address. Why do we all have to give our personal addresses?” A1. The Mayor advised that the question would be taken on notice and a written response
provided.
Additional Information
A1. In accordance with Clause 5.7(1)(a) of the City of Stirling Meeting Procedures Local
Law 2009, a member of the public who wishes to ask a question during Public Question Time must firstly state his or her name and address. There has a never been a requirement that the address provided must be personal or residential.
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 6.7 14
6.7 PUBLIC QUESTION TIME - J GARBER
The following question submitted by Mr J Garber, 36A Pola Street, Dianella WA 6059 was taken on notice at the Council Meeting held Tuesday 18 September 2018. Q1. "In relation to Item 13.1 on the agenda, which is the Strategic Community Plan, I have
the same problem with the information in the Plan that I had at the time of the community consultation on the Plan, which is that there is no requirement that any of the items be fairly and evenly applied across all Council wards. If you look at the Plan itself, there is no provision that it is fair and evenly applied, and I think before this is approved, that this matter should be considered.”
A1. The Mayor advised that the question would be taken on notice and a written response
provided.
Additional Information
A1. The City’s Strategic Community Plan sets out the vision for the development of the City over the next 10 years and beyond. It is the overarching plan for the future and, as required by Regulation 7 of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 1996, considers the needs of the district in its entirety.

Background
A Relationship Management System is a cloud-based software solution that provides a 360 degree view of the customer, showing on one intuitive display, customer information from multiple sources including the Property and Rating system, Library Management System, Recreation Management System, e-newsletters etc. The system will also link in with the City’s existing telephony, new website and core systems to produce the following:-
Web-forms with full backend integration;
Ability for customers to track requests;
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 12.1/CC1 18
Management data about Customer Requests;
Ability to group and contact customers quickly and through a channel of the customer's preference (email, SMS); and
Mobility for field officers and customers to lodge requests and report issues on-site. In addition the knowledge management system with Artificial Intelligence capability will enable the relevant City information to be automatically brought to the finger-tips of officers managing the customer enquiry. The benefits of the Relationship Management System include:-
Significantly reduced handling time for customer enquires;
Drastic improvements in efficiency across the entire organisation;
Substantial reduction in response times for customers;
Ability for customers to self-serve and reduced need to contact the City;
Ability for officers and customers to track customer work requests; and
Reduced number of customer call transfers resulting in vastly improved service levels and improved internal efficiency for technical officers.
At its meeting held 8 May 2018, following a public invitation to tender process, Council resolved (Council Resolution Number 0518/024) as follows:-
"That the tender from Deloitte Pty Ltd for the Provision of Relationship Management System within the City of Stirling be ACCEPTED under the following contractual arrangements:-
a. delivery of Stage 1 (Paid Proof of Concept Implementation and software licensing) at a fixed cost of $224,400 (excluding GST); and
b. delivery of Stage 2 (Detailed Implementation Analysis and Design), and Stage 3 (Implementation of Relationship Management System), after securing Council approval to proceed, as per the hourly tendered rates as detailed in Appendix A to this report."
This report provides information on the delivery of Stage 1 (Paid Proof of Concept Implementation) and recommends that Council consider the progression of the Relationship Management System project to Stage 2 so that more detailed costing can be provided for Stage 3 (Implementation of Relationship Management System) and Stage 4 (Relationship Management System Support and Maintenance). It is anticipated that the costings for Stages 3 and 4 will be reported to Council in February 2019.
Comment
Stage 1: Paid Proof of Concept Implementation
Stage 1 of the Relationship Management System – the Paid Proof of Concept Implementation formally commenced on Monday 23 July 2018. The City expected that the Paid Proof of Concept would be completed within three months with the following requirements:-
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 12.1/CC1 19
Digitalisation of the Abandoned Vehicles Process including:-
The integration of the Relationship Management System into Technology One
Property Ci (noting the Tenderer is responsible for managing and delivering the
integrations);
Creation of relevant on-line forms;
Reporting;
Dashboards;
Knowledge Management;
Single portal view of the City’s customers; and
Employee training.
Development of a Reporting/Analytics solution including:-
The data extraction direct from the City’s cores systems (i.e.: not a data warehouse)
listed in the key success criteria;
Creation of reports, dashboards; and
Employee training.
The Paid Proof of Concept was completed within six weeks, significantly earlier than anticipated with all tender requirements listed above being met. Salesforce was demonstrated as an intuitive, easily configurable platform with widespread use across the City including enabling field officers to lodge service requests and process field-based workflows (i.e.: pool inspections, graffiti, building inspections, blocked drains etc.) using a handheld mobile device. Proving successful integrations with the City’s core systems, in particular Technology One, officers are also able to complete the workflow without the need to manually re-enter data into the City’s core systems. The Salesforce interface was also demonstrated to provide visibility for the City’s Customer Service team over the progress of service requests without the need to transfer a customer to another part of the organisation for updates. The single-portal view of the customer and management of the work request means that the City’s officers are not having to constantly open and close different systems (i.e.: Property and Rating, spreadsheets, Outlook, Works and Assets, Finance One) to process a service request and handle a customer enquiry. This drastically improves the efficiency of managing service requests for the City and saves the customer time when reporting or following up on service requests. Knowledge articles that intuitively appear depending on the nature of the service request or the history of the customer's interactions with the City provide consistent information at City officers' fingertips to ensure that the correct information is provided every time to the customer. The analytics and reporting that are produced from Salesforce can be configured so that Supervisors, Managers and/or Directors are immediately notified if a milestone for completing a service request is not met so that remedial action can be undertaken as soon as possible.
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 12.1/CC1 20
The reporting/analytics solution within the Salesforce Platform was configured by Deloitte to produce a management dashboard aligned with the City’s balanced scorecard. Extracting data direct from the City’s cores systems means that management reports can be generated in real-time with the most up-to-date information available (i.e.: live data). Missed targets can trigger a notification prompting remedial action. From a customer perspective, the on-line portal allows customers to report and track their request on any device and view all existing requests across the City on a mapping interface. This makes interacting with the City quicker, reduces the number of calls received and reduces the number of duplicate service requests. By creating an account with the City the customer can have full visibility over all their personal interactions with the City, such as dog registration, rates payments, building approvals etc. Notably, the resourcing effort required to manage the 'abandoned vehicles' process was calculated at the start of Stage 1 (i.e.: prior to digitisation) and again at the end of Stage 1 (after digitisation with Salesforce). The result being that digitalisation through Salesforce has improved the efficiency of managing this process by at least 37%. Likewise the reporting/analytics solution has significantly improved the efficiency of producing Executive and Council performance reports. The data is extracted live from the City’s core systems and therefore the quality of these reports has been vastly improved. Further work on the Relationship Management System was undertaken by Deloitte (within the approved Stage 1 budget) to prove additional functionality of the Salesforce product namely:-
CTI – integration with the City’s telephone system so that customer information is presented in front of officers when the customer phones the City;
Project management capability – software with dashboard reporting and analytics; and
Field Service Lightening – additional functionality for field officers including enabling customers to schedule appointments and the field officers to generate, sign and email reports and letters.
Therefore through the successful delivery of Stage 1 (Paid Proof of Concept Implementation and software licensing), the City’s officers have gained confidence in both the Salesforce platform and Deloitte Pty Ltd and strongly recommend that the project be progressed to Stage 2 (Detailed Implementation Analysis and Design). A further report will be provided to Council following Stage 2 with the full implementation costs including ongoing licensing. Stage 2: Detailed Implementation Analysis and Design
Stage 2 of the Relationship Management System project (Detailed Implementation Analysis and Design) includes a full examination of the City’s existing systems and reconfirmation of the City’s expectations from the project. Subsequently, a statement of work will be developed that will outline the project approach, project plan, prioritisation and resource allocation for the delivery of the Relationship Management System and reporting and analytics solution across the City. During Stage 2 the features and functionality required of the Relationship Management System and reporting and analytics solution will be detailed and an overall architecture provided to the City. This will enable a firm estimation of costs for Stage 3 (Implementation of Relationship Management System) and Stage 4 (Relationship Management System Support and Maintenance) for the project.
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 12.1/CC1 21
The specific deliverables as part of Stage 2 are:
Detailed cost estimate for Stage 3 (implementation and licensing costs);
Detailed cost estimate for Stage 4 (support and licensing for five years);
Prioritisation for implementation based on type, complexity and implementation approach;
Release roadmap detailing release targets dates for different customer requests;
Solution architecture; and
Organisation change plan.
Following Stage 2 the City’s officers will provide a report to Council detailing the estimated costs for Stage 3 (Implementation of Relationship Management System) and Stage 4 (Relationship Management System Support and Maintenance) and seeking approval to further progress the Relationship Management System project.

Financial Implications
Using the hourly rates provided as part of the tender process, Deloitte Pty Ltd have provided a fixed lump sum quotation for Stage 2 (Detailed Implementation Analysis and Design) of $200,467.50. The breakdown of the costs are as follows:-
Role Rate (hourly) Rate (7.5 hour day)
Days Total
Partner $507 $3,802.50 4 $15,210.00
Director $347 $2,602.50 3 $7,807.50
Manager $320 $2,400.00 41.5 $99,600.00
Consultant $173 $1,297.50 60 $77,850.00
There is an allocation of $858,000 for the Relationship Management System in the 2018/2019 budget. There has been no expenditure against this budget in 2018/2019 (Stage 1 costs were paid against the 2017/2018 budget) and the cost of Stage 2 can be adequately covered within the existing project budget.
An analysis of the tendered process from other vendors provided as part of the original tender process indicates that the average estimate for Stage 2 was $220,000.

Stage 1 (Paid Proof of Concept Implementation and software licensing) of the Relationship Management System project has been highly successful with the implementation partner, Deloitte Pty Ltd completing all of the requirements of Stage 1 in only six weeks (six week earlier that anticipated by the City). In addition, Deloitte also delivered additional functionality over and above was what within the Stage 1 scope. The digitisation of the Abandoned Vehicle process has increased the efficiency of this workflow by at least 37% and likewise, it is estimated that the analytics and reporting functionality will significantly improve the efficiency and quality of collecting, reporting and analysing corporate data. Stage 2 (Detailed Implementation Analysis and Design) will enable the City to gain a firm cost for progressing the Relationship Management System project to Stage 3 (Implementation of Relationship Management System) and Stage 4 (Relationship Management System Support and Maintenance). Following Stage 2 a report will be provided to Council detailing these costs and seeking approval to continue with the Relationship Management System project.

Background
A brand is a singular representation of everything a company stands for in the marketplace. It identifies who the City is as an organisation and how the City is perceived. The City of Stirling has a high public profile; to maintain and further develop this profile, it is imperative that the images representing the City are visible, clearly recognisable and unambiguous. In order to build and sustain a dynamic brand, consistency is everything. Every decision the City makes, no matter how small, must be considered in terms of its impact on the public perceptions of the brand. Over time, a clear brand identity begins to shape in the mind of customers and the public. At its meeting held 5 July 2016, Council resolved (Council Resolution Number 0716/003) as follows:-
“That Council ENDORSES the City of Stirling 2016 Corporate Brand Style Guide - Version 2 with the following amendments:-
All instructional / directional signs on reserves that can be purchased off the shelf be standard signs without a City logo attached.
That the current Councillor letterhead remain as an option - with/without photo.” Following this resolution, the City of Stirling 2016 Corporate Brand Style Guide - Version 2 was updated and implemented across the City. However, with the development of the City’s new Strategic Community Plan there is an opportunity to review and update the Strategy and Report Documents section of the Style Guide. The Strategy and Report Documents section of the Style Guide is created using the Strategic Community Plan as the ‘parent’ style. Once the style is developed for the Strategic Community Plan, this style is then cascaded to all subsequent and/or informing corporate strategies and reports. In doing so, a visual parent-child relationship is created between the Community Strategic Plan and related documents for the four year life of the Community Strategic Plan. As such, a new style will be developed again in 2022 for the Strategy and Report Documents section of the Style Guide in-line with the development of the next Community Strategic Plan (and so forth).

Comment
The proposed design for the Strategy and Report Documents section of the Style Guide can be reviewed within the City of Stirling 2018 Corporate Brand Style Guide (refer to Attachment 1) and is also presented below, along with the current design for the Strategy and Report Documents for ease of reference:-

AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 12.1/CC2 26
The proposed style provides a visual differentiation from the current ‘checkerboard’ design whilst still enabling a variety of photos to be used on the front and back cover. The ability to select a variety of images for strategies and reports is important as often these documents encompass many topics, audiences, activities, services, goals and objectives of the City. In addition, the contemporary look of the proposed style and the use of bold colours provides excellent contrast, definition and interest for the City’s strategies and reports. The circular concept highlights different areas of the City using a ‘spotlight’ device. The ability to also use block colours within the design instead of all photos, adds versatility.

Conclusion
The Council-endorsed City of Stirling 2016 Corporate Brand Style Guide was developed in line with best practice and enables cost effective reproduction of the City’s logo and crest. The Guide provides employees, marketing officers and designers with the relevant information to ensure that the City’s logo is used in a consistent manner that maximises the image of City as being innovative and progressive. With the development of the City’s new Community Strategic Plan there is an opportunity to update the Strategy and Report Documents section of the Style Guide. The proposed design of the Strategy and Report Documents section of the Style Guide is a contemporary, fresh approach providing versatility to the wide range of documents that form part of this section of the Style Guide.

1. Des Penman Memorial Reserve Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund Application (ECM Doc No: 10193905)
Background
Local government authorities and not-for-profit sport/recreation organisations are eligible to apply for Community Sporting and Recreation Facilities Fund (CSRFF) grants aimed towards increasing participation through the development of basic sustainable infrastructure that are well planned and designed. There is $12 million available for allocation within the 2019/2020 funding round. The maximum grant awarded will be no greater than one-third of the total cost of the project, up to a maximum of $2 million. CSRFF assessment principles and guidelines, as well as the City’s relevant strategic plans and policies, are utilised to assess the need, viability and priority of applications. After consideration by Council, the CSRFF application will be considered by the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries. Announcements on application outcomes usually occur in February/March each year.
Comment
One CSRFF grant application is being submitted for Council’s consideration as part of the annual grant round. This application is requesting funding to support the upgrade of the central sporting pavilion (the sporting pavilion) on Des Penman Memorial Reserve, Nollamara. Improved access to sporting clubroom amenities will address changing sporting and participation trends, community needs and will facilitate improved sporting and recreational opportunity for the existing users and the local community. Des Penman Memorial Reserve is located in Nollamara and is one of the City’s major district public open spaces and provides high sporting and recreational value to the local community. The Nollamara community comprises 5.47% of the City of Stirling’s total population, catering for 1,568 residents. It is culturally diverse with 58.3% of residents being born overseas and is one of the most populated suburbs in the City, catering for over 2,961 families. The median age of residents is 32 years and there is a large number of children within the 0 to 14 age group along with people over the age of 65. Residents in Nollamara have a lower than national average median household income and the suburb also has a higher than average unemployment rate.
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 12.1/RL1 75
The existing sporting pavilion was constructed in 1984 and has supported local sports at the reserve for over 34 years. The pavilion is home to a number of local sporting clubs including Australian rules football and turf cricket. Australian football and cricket are within the top 10 club sports played by children and adults combined. Australian football remains within the top two club sports currently played by children across the nation. The reserve serves as an important recreational and sporting destination for the surrounding community, and the City has delivered improved recreational amenities in recent years including the provision of a new sports multi-court, outdoor exercise equipment, new path networks and a new playground and picnic area. The existing sporting pavilion is aged and does not meet the current needs of the local sporting community. Upgrades to the pavilion are required and would provide improved sporting and recreational opportunities that support positive community sports and recreational participation. The Des Penman Memorial Reserve Master Plan was adopted in 2012 and provides an overarching vision for the reserve. This vision recognises the need and importance of providing functional public open space for local communities to deliver sustainable sporting and recreational opportunities now and into the future. The Master Plan identified the need for a multi-purpose community pavilion to accommodate football, cricket, tennis, bowling and other sport and recreation clubs, however since the Master Plan was endorsed there have been changes in trends and community needs, which indicate there is a need to focus the scope of this project on the delivery of improving the central reserve sporting pavilion building to improve sporting and recreational opportunity for the existing users and local community. Female participation in sport is increasing, with both cricket and Australian football seeing increases in participation rates; the age and design of the building can no longer support the functional sporting and recreational participation needs. It is proposed to upgrade the existing sporting pavilion to accommodate a shared-use, contemporary pavilion on the existing site. It will accommodate current and anticipated future growth while helping to foster positive growth for not only women’s participation in sport, but for indigenous players and players with a disability. Given the high number of young children, cultural diversity and an aging population, there is a need to support improving community behaviours and opportunities to deliver access to functional, affordable and accessible sporting and recreational choices at Des Penman Memorial Reserve. A CSRFF application for the upgrade of the sporting pavilion has been developed and is considered a high priority given anticipated membership and participation trend increases, the age of the existing asset, and the value provided to the community by this sporting pavilion.
Consultation/Communication Implications
Consultation with the relevant sporting clubs has occurred over the last year. Any consultation with residents surrounding the reserve will be completed as part of the proposed project implementation. There has also been extensive dialogue with state and federal members of parliament who are supportive of seeking state and federal grants to support the project.

Financial Implications
$50,000 is currently allocated on the 2018/2019 budget to deliver designs and costings for the project. The City has allocated a preliminary amount of $500,000 in the City's asset renewal program in 2019/2020 to deliver improvements to the sporting pavilion. Approval remains subject to Council's consideration of the 2019/2020 capital works budget. The City believes it would be prudent to submit an application for the project to seek partnership funding to foster improved sporting and participation outcomes for the community. The design will ensure that the operational needs of the club are also considered and support effective ongoing operational cost management. The proposed capital funding model is as follows:-

AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 12.1/F2 90
August is traditionally a month with significant variances as most activities are reliant on the budget being approved and the issuance of the Rates Notices (25 August 2018). The Finance department is working closely with the larger business units to improve on phasing of the budget.
In addition, it should be noted that the opening funds position is subject to year-end audit adjustments.
An explanation of major variances between YTD Actual and YTD Budget for the period ending 31 August 2018 is as follows:-
Operating Revenue
1. Other Rates Revenue
This revenue item has a negative variance of 79% of YTD Budget. This can be attributed to the phasing of the instalment interest charges on rates in the budget.
2. Grants & Subsidies
This revenue item has a negative variance of 21% of YTD Budget. This can mainly be attributed to the phasing of funds from the Western Australian Government Department of Heath for HACC Program and the Commonwealth Government Home Support Program as compared to budget, this is deemed to be a timing issue only.
3. Contributions, Reimbursements and Donations
This revenue item has a positive variance of 79% of YTD Budget. This can mainly be attributed to revenue from insurance recovered and utility charges recovered being higher than forecast in budget.
4. Interest
This revenue item has a negative variance of 16% of YTD Budget. This is the result of funds invested in August being lower than forecast in budget.
5. Registration, Licences & Permits
This revenue item has a negative variance of 14% of YTD Budget. This is the result of lower revenue from inspection fees, development application fees and building licences compared to budget.
Operating Expenditure
6. Employee Costs
This expenditure item has a positive variance of 16% of YTD Budget. This can be attributed to vacant positions yet to be filled contributing to lower salaries and wages than forecast in budget.
7. Material and Contracts Direct MTC of NCA
This expenditure item has a positive variance of 25% of YTD Budget. This is mainly due to lower cost for maintenance for buildings, reserves, roads and drainage than forecast in budget.
8. Material and Contracts Other Works
This expenditure item has a positive variance of 12% of YTD Budget. This is mainly attributed to lower than expected costs in the areas of waste and cleaning charge, computer software and furniture and office equipment expenses than forecast in budget.
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 12.1/F2 91
9. Insurance
This expenditure item has a negative variance of 57% of YTD Budget. This is mainly due to higher cost of insurance than forecast in budget.
10. Other
This expenditure item has a negative variance of 38% of YTD Budget. This can be attributed to donation to the Red Cross and other local charities and organisations. Non - Operating Activity 11. Profit or Loss on Disposal of Assets and Proceeds from Disposal of Assets
Loss on disposal of assets is mainly the result of the disposal of several waste trucks during August where the price that was received for the disposal of these trucks was very low compared to their book value; this resulted in large losses on these vehicles.
12. Grants & Subsidies
This revenue item has a positive variance of 187% of YTD Budget. This can be attributed to grant funding being received from the Department of Transport which was budgeted to be received in 2017/2018 and capital grant from the Lotteries Commission.
13. Capital Expenditure
See separate report for details on variances in capital expenditure “A Statement of Capital Transactions – Detail by Business Unit”. Regulation 34 also requires an explanation of the composition of the Net Current Assets less committed assets and restricted assets. The following table provides this information: -

Background
At its meeting held 6 March 2018, Council resolved (Council Resolution 0318/018) as follows:-
‘That Council APPROVES a new lease of the Leisurepark Balga Café located on portion of Crown Reserve 52931, Lot 501, House Number 109, Princess Road, Balga to JEP Axford Pty Ltd, with the following essential terms:- a. an initial term of five years; b. one further term of five years; and c. rent at the commencement of the lease be set at $21,800 plus GST plus
outgoings.’
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 12.1/PRS2 124
The recommendation to Council was based on the offer presented by Café Karina at an annual rent of $21,800 plus GST. The City obtained a market rent valuation for the premises at the time which determined the current annual rent to be $15,000 plus GST.
Café Karina entered into a lease agreement in line with the above terms and has been operational for the past five months.
The café is located inside the Stirling Leisure Centres - Leisurepark Balga (Leisurepark Balga) overlooking the indoor pool and services customers or spectators of Leisurepark Balga.
Café Karina wrote to the City in July 2018 advising that the customer base at Leisurepark Balga was not sufficient to sustain a commercial café during the winter and fringe months. Café Karina informed the City that their ability to meet the financial demands of the current lease would not be achievable long term and have requested that the City review the rent charged taking into consideration the viability of commercial operations during the winter season.
Comment
The City has reviewed the current service provision, commercial limitations, Café Karina’s current financial position and implications on the operation of Leisurepark Balga.
On commencement, Café Karina offered a full range of food, beverage and meal options which were made fresh that morning and available for sale during the day. Café Karina has since tailored their service provision to meet the demands of the customer base.
Café Karina has made numerous attempts to promote their café at their own cost by:-
distributing flyers to local residents;
offering half price coffee promotions;
diversifying its menu;
installing signage to signal passing traffic; and
reduced operating hours during the winter period.
The location of the café does not allow Café Karina to source its own customers and is essentially limited to paying customers of Leisurepark Balga. Additionally, the access to the gym area bypasses the café (further reducing ability to draw in customers).
Patrons are permitted to bring outside food into Leisurepark Balga and Café Karina have acknowledged that the City cannot restrict outside food from being consumed within Leisurepark Balga. Café Karina have advised the City that patrons often bring outside takeaway food (from surrounding fast food restaurants) and are therefore not purchasing comparable items for sale at the café.
As part of the March 2018 negotiations, Café Karina offered a rental above market value ($21,800 plus GST) based on visitation numbers provided by the City. Visitation numbers during the winter period are not sufficient to sustain a commercial business at the current rent.
Café Karina has requested that to make the café sustainable, the City consider adjusting the rent payable to the market value ($15,000 plus GST per annum) payable for the seven months a commercial café is viable. Cafe Karina advised that if the above rent is acceptable they would still operate during the Winter season so a services is still operational at the centre.
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 12.1/PRS2 125
The City as part of these discussions with Café Karina generally agrees that a commercial café at Leisurepark Balga is only viable for seven months’ of the year (October – April) excluding the Winter and fringe months, this is due to:-
limitation for Café Karina to source its own customer base;
limited passing customer traffic;
availability of outside food sources; and
demographic of the customer base. The operation of a café has undeniably improved the amenity at Leisurepark Balga and in the short time that Café Karina has opened has formed a respectable connection with some of the regular customers attending the facility. Cafe Karina provides a valuable service to patrons visiting the facility and going forward adjusting the rent would be considered appropriate. The below terms will form part of a Variation of Lease between the City and Café Karina:-
Term/Clause Current Lease Proposed Variation of Lease Annual Rent $21,800 plus GST $8,750 plus GST payable in equal monthly
instalments.
Being:- An initial reduction in rent to the market rental valuation for the premises of $15,000 plus GST. And subsequently reduced by the equivalent of five months’ rent (or $6,250 plus GST (during which the business is not considered commercially viable). i.e. Market Rent $15,000 Less further five months’ rent reduction $ 6,250 New Annual Rent (ex GST) $ 8,750
Rent Review Annually by 3% fixed
increase Annually by 2.5% fixed increase
Rent Review Dates
12 March 2019 and annually thereafter
12 12 March 2020 and annually thereafter
The above proposed variation to the current lease terms are considered suitable for a commercial café with limited access to external customers in the locality.

Background
The inception of the Herb Graham Refurbishment Project in 2017 was intended to improve the condition of the facilities and meet the community expectations of the multicultural centre. The primary brief was to improve the aesthetics of the sports courts, entrance and mezzanine, and to expand the use of the areas to become multi-purpose. The courts are currently used for public, local and state government events such as concerts, market stalls, religious and multicultural events, citizenship ceremonies and local member public speaking. As part of the 2017 Labour Party State Election Campaign, Mirrabooka State Member Janine Freeman MLA offered the City an election funding commitment of $400,000 to support the refurbishment of the minor and main stadiums at Herb Graham on the condition that the City would match the funding amount. In October 2017, the commitment was accepted by the City and designs to provide sport impact, acoustic and fire rated cladded panels to the sports stadiums were included to meet the needs and use of the multi-purpose centre. The project also details the provision of a lift from the major stadium to the mezzanine floor to comply with the National Construction Code and Disability (Access to Premises – Buildings) Standards.

Background
At its meeting held 12 June 2018, Council resolved (Council Resolution Number 0618/014) as follows:-
"That Council PROCEEDS with Option One within the body of the report with regards to live streaming, with approval of a subsequent workshop, and a report to be PRESENTED to a future Community and Resources Committee meeting."
Option One referred to in the Council Resolution was that Council determines that live streaming is feasible and move forward. On determining to move forward, a Councillor workshop would be held to assess detailed requirements. Once detailed requirements have been gathered, a vendor selected and equipment purchased, it would be reasonable to assume a live stream within three months.
Comment
To 'live stream' is to transmit or receive live video and audio coverage of an event over the internet; the content is simultaneously recorded and broadcast in real time to the viewer. The City currently audio records Council meetings with the audio made available on site at the City's Administration Centre. This service was last accessed by an individual in September 2017. A Councillor workshop on live streaming was held on Monday 20 August 2018. The following points were raised and information gathered as a result of the workshop. 1. Purpose of live streaming
To communicate, educate and share
To make Council decisions more accessible
To provide a greater level of openness
AGENDA OF THE ORDINARY MEETING OF COUNCIL 2 OCTOBER 2018
Item 12.1/A1 151
2. Points ‘for’ live streaming
Attract more people to attend meetings
Make Council meetings more accessible, increasing the potential for participation
Enhance current audio recordings
Other local governments have successfully implemented live streaming
3. Points ‘against’ live streaming
Possibility of malicious use
Scope for video to go viral
Council process not being widely understood and harder to follow on screen
Scale and cost of potential storage
4. Decisions on the set up of live streaming
Use of four cameras and split screen - similar to the City of Greater Geraldton where one screen is dedicated to the agenda
Video and audio to be streamed (link to current audio)
Record and archive
Hold archived records for three meetings only on the City's website
Do not record Public Question Time
Use a specialist streaming service
Implement a time delay
Reduce storage requirement
Ensure continued high quality of audio and now video
Testing and training to be undertaken with Councillors
5. Roll out of live streaming
Policy development
Vendor selection
Equipment purchase
Configuration of existing audio system to work with streaming device
Pilot of two to three meetings prior to go-live
Pilot available within three months of equipment purchase
Policy Development If Councillors determine to proceed with live streaming, the City would develop a Policy setting out how live streaming would operate, this would cover areas such as:-
Recording
Accessing
Archiving
Informing the public that meetings are being live streamed
Copyright
Powers of presiding member in relation to live streaming at the meeting
