The various institutional arrangements were rated on a scale of +1 (very possible) to –1 (very unlikely) with the following ranks: Option Ranking Amalgamation -1 County Council -1 Commercialisation +1 Corporatisation -1 Privatisation -1 Council looks favourably on the commercialisation model. Other options are either not preferred or considered irrelevant under the prevailing operating environment. Legislative Framework Numerous Acts influence the way in which Council can provide sewerage services to the community. Appendix B provides a discussion of the relevant legislation and the specific implications it has for Council’s operations. Stakeholder Analysis The sewerage service must satisfy the needs of several stakeholder groups including customers, visitors, commerce and industry, and government. Appendix C examines these groups and evaluates Council’s current performance. In general Council is performing well with the exception of perceived high tariff by customers. The primary objective of Council is to provide a sustainable high level of service. Service Provision The sewerage system will need to be augmented and maintained to cope with growth, aging assets and increasing usage. Currently Council is not planning to service any additional areas outside the current designated service areas in Mudgee, Gulgong, Rylstone and Kandos. Charbon and Clandulla villages are likely to be provided with sewerage services in future. Page 100 Part C - Detailed Information Mid-Western Regional Council Strategic Business Plan for Sewerage
Corporate Policies and Practices Mid-Western Regional Council currently has the following corporate policies that have an impact on the operation of the sewerage scheme. Corporate Policies Ensure that services provided are in accordance with the requirements set by Council − − Impacts Reliable and consistent service Customer consultation Support OH&S and EEO principles − Socially responsible Construction over council assets not permitted − Asset Management Asset management policy − Asset Management Septic waste dipsosal policy (draft) − Environmental Management Trade waste policy (under development) − Sewer Load Management Developers contribution policy (detailed in DSPs) for sewerage − Improved levels of service Service Delivery Institutional arrangements are being reviewed throughout the State and initiatives such as the National Competition Policy and Self Regulation are currently being reviewed. The National Competition Policy’s impact on Mid-Western Regional Council’s future service delivery is minimal. Classed as a Category 2 business, the operation of the water supply and sewerage section is not seen as distortionary on competition at a state or national level. The separation of Council’s sewerage business from other activities is at the discretion of Council. The requirement of full cost attribution for sewerage service is already in place. The General Manager delegates authority to the Group Manager – Assets who in turn delegates the responsibility to Water Cycle and Waste Engineer to manage all the water supply and sewerage assets. The operation, maintenance and construction of assets are contracted to Mid-Western Operations, an internal service provider. Mid-Western Operations has 23 staff, who operate and maintain the water supply and sewerage schemes.
