In expanding Council’s vision for a 30-year planning horizon for sewerage services, changing service requirements due to the following key factors influencing the operating environment are to be accounted for: Growth and Development • Age profile – the trend of aging population with higher middle-aged (40-64 years) and senior population (65-79 years) will continue • Falling occupancy rate – expected to reach the natural minimum in line with the national trend away from large families, leading to more households with less people per ET. • Strong commercial development is expected to continue resulting in more people migrating to the region generating greater demand for accommodation and water services • Number of wineries and fruit/vegetable processing industries, cattle/sheep farms is increasing • A new mine (Moolarben) and the expansion of an existing mine (Ulan) are expected to be operational within next 1-3 years Public Health • The Region provides good medical services with hospitals in the townships of Mudgee, Gulgong and Rylstone. • Council has commissioned the NSW Rural Doctors Network to study the viability of increased access to general health practitioners and allied health professionals in the Region. Environment • Dry land salinity is a persistent problem in many locations in the Region • The Shire has good air quality and there is no need for extensive monitoring or air pollution control programs • All creeks and rivers in the Council LGA are classified as environmentally sensitive river systems. There is a continuing need for a well-planned ongoing water quality monitoring program in the region encompassing the upper Cudgegong River Transport • Reconstruction of Castlereagh Highway between Lithgow – Mudgee has provided faster access to and from the Region to Sydney and major centres around the region • Mudgee has reliable twice daily air link with Sydney Page 10 Part A - Operating Environment Mid-Western Regional Council Strategic Business Plan for Sewerage
Tourism • As part of their Economic Development Strategy, Council has recently completed a 10-year Tourism Study, which indicated that the Region continues to show strong growth in tourism, and the trend is expected to continue in future. The study has identified programs and funding requirements to provide a major boost to the growth of tourism in the Region Technology and Information • Sophisticated information management would provide better financial and operational analysis and lead to continual service improvement. • Power supply in the Region is unreliable due to frequent outages. Council has provided diesel pumps at critical pumping stations as a contingency measure in case of power outages. Reliable power supply will improve service quality in future • Mobile coverage is improving. ADSL/ Broadband Internet is expanding covering all townships and 5 Km radius around them. Improvements will enhance opportunities for growth and development of the Region and improve quality of other services Government Legislation/ Policy • More regulation, stringent enforcement and fewer subsidies from Government is imposing heavy burden on Council responsibilities • Council has entered into a strategic alliance with Lithgow and Oberon Councils in many areas including asset management, information technology and tourism Mid-Western Regional Council Part A - Operating Environment Page 11 Strategic Business Plan for Sewerage
