Progress against Delivery Program targets for 2013/14

Delivery Program (4 Years) Operational Plan (1 Year) Achievement - as at 30/06/14 Status

Looking after our Community Goal 1.1: A safe and healthy community

Strategy 1.1.1 Maintain the provision of high quality, accessible community services that meet the needs of our community

Provide comprehensive community support programs that embrace social justice and access and equity

Meals on Wheels The Meals on Wheels service in Mudgee continues to provide meals to frail, elderly and disabled residents in Mudgee. It is also supported by invaluable volunteers who deliver the meals. An average of 106 meals per week have been provided to clients for the year ended 30 June 2014

Respite Care Respite hours provided to clients continued to substantially exceed the requirements of the funding body, with 1999 hours of respite to clients provided. The respite is provided by volunteers who are matched to clients based on their individual needs

Home Modification & Maintenance

Bathroom renovations, grab rails and slip resistant treatments are just some of the jobs undertaken by the service during the year. The jobs were undertaken within the Mid-Western and Warrumbungle Shire Council areas, meeting the output requirements of the funding body.

Statutory Information

Annual Charges

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

Council has not levied an annual charge for stormwater management services during the year.

COASTAL PROTECTION SERVICES

Council has not levied an annual charge for coastal protection services during the year.

Companion Animals

Council undertakes companion animal management functions and activities, in accordance with the Companion Animals Act 1998 and the associated Regulations.

EXPENDITURE

During 2013/14, Council spent $176,000 on companion animal management activities. Council employs one full time Ranger to enforce the provisions of the Companion Animal legislation. This Ranger also attends to after-hours stock impounding. As part of running an animal pound facility, Council utilises additional staff resources to ensure 7 day a week animal care and coverage.

The Office of Local Government provided $12,500 of revenue to Council in 2013/14 for Animal Management Services. A further $20,000 was received from stock impounding fees, animal release fees, fines, animal sales and other related revenue, helping to partially offset the total cost of companion animal management to the Mid-Western Region community.

REGISTRATION AND REHOMING

Council strongly encourages residents to have their dogs and cats micro-chipped. Micro-chipping is quick, painless, and easy. It is the easiest way a pet can be returned home, so it should be top priority for every pet owner. Council has a micro-chipping service, and charged $30 in 2013/14.

In addition, Council works with the local branch of the RSPCA regarding foster care and advertising of impounded animals. The Mid-Western Regional Council website always has a current listing of animals in the pound that are lost or looking for a new home. Across 2013/14, Council compiled Pound Data Collection Returns for the Office of Local Government. 405 animals were seized. Fortunately, 334 of those animals were able to be returned to their owners or Council successfully re-homed them. A total of 72 animals were required to be euthanased as they were either unsuitable or unable to be rehomed. 134 companion animals were registered through Council.

DOG ATTACKS AND DANGEROUS DOGS

Data relating to dog attacks is required to be lodged by Council with the Office of Local Government. During the 2013/14 period, there have been 31 separate dog attack incidents in the Mid-Western Region, with a number of animal (primarily stock) and human victims. Actions taken
