(CommunityStrategic Plan 2030)The Delivery Program 2013 – 2017 and Operational Planfor 2013-2014, sets out how Council is using the long termobjectives of our Community Strategic Plan to create day-to-dayimprovements in the Ku-ring-gai area. It has been developedto provide direction to Ku-ring-gai Council, its staff and thecommunity as to what and when various programs, services andcapital works will be undertaken.The Term Achievements outlined in the Delivery Program 2013-2017 are linked to the issues and objectives identified in theCommunity Strategic Plan, this in turn sets the direction andactions planned contained in the Operational Plan 2013-2014.Developing our plansThe themes outlined in the Community Strategic Plan ‘OurCommunity - Our Future 2030’ provide us with the long termobjectives that we are pursuing. The Themes were developedfrom research and community engagement and express theaspirations of our community and provide the connectivitythroughout Ku-ring-gai’s integrated planning and reportingframework. Each of the actions identified in the Operational Planlink back to an objective outlined in the Community StrategicPlan.Our planning is also affected by regional considerations andwider state, national and global influences. We work withrelevant departments and agencies of the state and federalgovernments and neighbouring councils on our overlappingresponsibilities. Within the Northern Sydney RegionalOrganisation of Councils (NSROC) we deal with common issues,particularly those that cross boundaries, such as planning,environment, transport, sustainability, procurement and wastemanagement.controls, masterplans for public spaces and regulations throughto policies about how community participation can inform thedecision making process. These documents reflect statutoryrequirements, government policy and, wherever possible, theaspirations and opinions of the community. There is a need toreview these regularly to ensure that they remain relevant andserve as a barometer of community expectations and reflect thedirection of Federal and State Government.The Delivery Program 2013-2017 and Operational Plan 2013-2014 also aims to provide a transparent insight into Council’soperations and decision making processes. All the actionsoutlined in the Delivery Program and Operational Plan areintegrated throughout our internal business processes includingdepartmental plans, project plans, service standards andindividual work plans.The Delivery Program and Operational Plan are supported byintegrated planning software that includes a clear assignmentof responsibility, timeframe of projects and key performanceindicators for services. The plans are used to ensureaccountability in the Council’s reporting mechanisms.We measure the effectiveness of each program throughperformance indicators, to ensure full accountability to ourcommunity. Progress against actions is measured and reportedin quarterly, six monthly and annual reports to the Council andthe community.Consultation processCouncil has undertaken extensive community and stakeholderengagement to help inform the Delivery Program andOperational Plan. Capital works programs, including design andimplementation, are shaped via consultation with Ku-ring-gairesidents and stakeholders. Council ensures all major works aredeveloped in partnership with the community's needs. Annualevaluation of key community services and facilities ensureCouncil continuously improves its offering to Ku-ring-gai and areclose to best practice in their delivery of key services.The Delivery Program and Operational Plan is divided into twoparts. Part 1 outlines the four year strategies and objectivesdetermined by the Community Strategic Plan, along with oneyear actions that Council will complete during the coming yearand have been developed against each of its six Themes:1. Community, People and Culture2. Natural Environment3. Places, Spaces and Infrastructure4. Access, Traffic and Transport5. Local Economy and Employment6. Leadership and GovernancePart 2 contains Council’s financial management framework,budget and financial statements and capital works program.The draft plan will be available on Council’s website and at keyfacilities such as the four libraries and the Customer ServiceCentre.Council adopts many policies and plans to guide it in deliveringits services and programs.

Our policies and plansIntegrated Planning and ReportingIn 2009, the NSW Division of Local Government introduced theintegrated planning and reporting framework. The frameworkrequires councils to draw their various plans together, to betterunderstand how they interact and to get the maximum leveragefrom their efforts by planning holistically for the future. Theframework also recognises that communities do not exist inisolation, but are part of a larger, social, economic, natural andpolitical environment which influences and shapes the futuredirection of their communities.The Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) Framework hasintroduced a hierarchy of plans which aims to ensure a moresustainable local government sector. (See Diagram below.)CommunityStrategic Plan10 years +DeliveryProgram4 years ResourcingStrategy10 yearsOperationalPlan1 yearAnnualReportPerpetualmonitoring andreviewCommunity Strategic PlanIn February 2009, Council adopted the Sustainability VisionReport. This was developed in consultation with individualsand groups between 9-99 years old. This intergenerationalconsultation approach enabled peers of similar ages to sharetheir concerns and aspirations for the future across social,environmental, economic and governance aspects directed orinfluenced by council. The outcomes of this report formed thebasis of Council’s first Community Strategic Plan.In September 2009, Council adopted its first CommunityStrategic Plan (the plan). The plan is a 20-year blueprint forthe future of the Ku-ring-gai Local Government Area (LGA). Itis both a process and a document designed to bring togetherthe community to set goals and aspirations for the future and toplan how to go about achieving those goals. It was informed bythe current activities of council, future aspirations of residents,businesses and Councillors and State and regional directionssuch as the Northern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils(NSROC) Regional Sustainability Plan 2009-2014 and theMetropolitan Plan for Sydney 2005.Council has recently reviewed its first Community StrategicPlan to reflect reflecting the changes that have taken place incommunity thinking, needs and expectations over the past fouryears and to provide a vehicle for our community to express itslong-term aspirations.The revised Community Strategic Plan Our Community - OurFuture 2030, provides the council with the strategic directionto align its policies, programs and services. It will also act as aguide for other organisations and individuals in planning anddelivering services. The plan addresses the community’s issuesto achieve the long term objectives under the following themes:• Community, People and Culture• Natural EnvironmentDelivery Program and OperationalPlanAll NSW Councils are now required to facilitate the developmentof a Community Strategic Plan (with a minimum 10 year outlook)along with a Delivery Program (based around the 4 year termof the Council) and an Operational Plan (which looks at yearlyactivities to be undertaken). These plans are informed by aResourcing Strategy that is made up of a Long Term FinancialPlan a Strategic Asset Management Strategy and a WorkforcePlan.IP&R places a strong emphasis on the community beingregularly informed on progress with achieving the communityvision and long term aspirations. This is provided through regularreporting on the Delivery Program (every six months), theproduction of an Annual Report and the production of an End ofTerm Report (once every four years at the end of the electoralterm).The Operational Plan is a one year plan that outlines Council’splanned activities and the financial resources required toimplement the actions for the first year of the Delivery Program.Actions identified in the Operational Plan link back to anobjective outlined in the Community Strategic Plan.Resourcing StrategyCouncils in New South Wales are required under the LocalGovernment Act 1993 to prepare a suite of documents that formthe Integrated Planning and Reporting (IP&R) framework. TheResourcing Strategy is one of these documents. It details howthe strategic aspirations of Ku-ring-gai can be achieved in termsof time, money, people and assets. The Resourcing Strategyspans ten years. Its component parts are a:• 10-year Long-term Financial PlanIt is developed concurrently with the other plans in the IP&Rframework. The Resourcing Strategy is designed to be a livingdocument to reflect changing financial and asset information.Initiatives within the Resourcing Strategy will be reviewedannually to ensure relevance in the changing environment and toincorporate any community feedback.ReportingThe introduction of a corporate performance reporting systemhas allowed us to significantly progress the quality of ourreporting in the past two years and to improve the connectivityof our short, medium and long term objectives and relate theseto the performance indicators which have been developed tosupport the objectives of the Community Strategic Plan 2030.The performance of Council against the delivery of the activitiesis measured through two levels of indicators. Key performanceindicators (KPIs) represent a measure of the standard oroutcome of an organisation’s services or activities. The KPIsare designed to encapsulate the performance and outcomesof Council and are reported on every six months. Tied to thisreporting, Council also receives quarterly budget reports whichprovide data on the financial position of Council in terms of itsincome and expenditure as well as the status of its adoptedcapital works program.Many indicators used by Council also relate to the GlobalReporting Initiative (GRI) indicators and benchmark statisticsrequired by the Division of Local Government and otheragencies. Ku-ring-gai Council also assigns each indicator toagainst social, environmental, economic and civic leadershipthemes reflecting its dominant aspect or influence. This isoften referred to as quadruple bottom line (QBL) reporting andalso reflects the structure of reporting to Council as part of theordinary council meeting process.• Places, Spaces and Infrastructure• 10-year Asset Management Strategy• Access, Traffic and Transport• Four-year Workforce Strategy• Local Economy and Employment• Leadership and GovernanceThe Resourcing Strategy is the link between the long-termCommunity Strategic Plan and the medium-term Delivery Plan.It is prepared every four years following each Council election.10 Draft Delivery Program 2013 - 2017 and Operational Plan 2013 - 2014Ku-ring-gai Council 11

About Ku-ring-gaiWhere we areThe Ku-ring-gai area is located in Sydney’s northern suburbs,16 kilometres north of the city centre. The area is predominantlyresidential with 95 percent of residential areas having lowdensityhousing. There are significant areas of park and bushland with very little commercial, and no industrial, land use. Kuring-gaihas a unique natural setting and diverse fauna and flora.The extent of bushland and biodiversity of the area is uniquefor a local government area situated so close to the centre ofSydney’s CBD. The established tree canopy in Ku-ring-gai is adefining characteristic.Historically, Ku-ring-gai’s urban areas developed as a seriesof villages along the main ridgelines, each with their ownidentity, and always bounded by or close to large tracts ofnatural bushland and national parks. Over time subdivisionand residential development have connected the villages intolarger suburbs, although their distinct characteristics still largelyremain intact. The nine distinct suburbs are Gordon, Killara,Lindfield, Pymble, Roseville, St Ives, Turramurra, Wahroongaand Warrawee. Today, with the increasing population andredevelopment of established areas, there is a greater focuson defining and preserving those visual landscapes and builtcharacteristics that make Ku-ring-gai attractive to its residentsand visitors. Ku-ring-gai’s diverse natural features and attributescontinue to be highly important influences on government policysettings, development of the area and people’s decisions toreside here.Ku-ring-gai’s local government area is comparatively welleducated and affluent with high levels of employment. Housingchoice and affordability are key social issues. In 2011, 77.5percent of dwelling types were separate houses, compared with58.9 percent in Greater Sydney and down from 84.3 percent in2006. The Sydney Metropolitan Strategy (2036) North SubregionStrategy (2008) sets a target of 10,000 additional dwellings inKu-ring-gai by 2036. This will require further growth in mediumand high-density development, particularly centred aroundGordon.Ku-ring-gai is becoming more culturally diverse consistent withtrends across Greater Sydney. About 35% of residents wereborn overseas including about 20% born in non-English speakingcountries. Newer residents are mainly from Chinese and Koreanbackgrounds along with residents from the UK, South Africaand Europe. There is a lower proportion of Indigenous peoplein Ku-ring-gai in comparison to Sydney as a whole. Ku-ring-gaiis dominated by couple families with children, who make upnearly half of all households. Reflecting the predominance offamily households, the average household size in 2011 was 2.9persons, compared to the Sydney average of 2.7 persons. Thisis expected to change over the coming decade with growingnumbers of lone person households and couples withoutchildren.Key demographic features of thearea include:• Ku-ring-gai’s estimated resident populationwas 116,569 in 2012, up from 105,103 in 2006,giving an annual growth rate of 1.74%. Between2011 and 2012 Ku-ring-gai's populationincreased by 1,865 or 1.6% compared with1.3% for Greater Sydney.• The population is expected to reach over130,000 people by 2036.• Cultural diversity is also increasing consistentwith trends across Greater Sydney. Newresidents are mainly from Chinese and Koreanbackgrounds along with residents from the UK,South Africa and Europe.• Ku-ring-gai’s demographic profile shows a fairlyunique age profile for Sydney with substantialnumbers of ageing and families with childrenaged 5-17 years compared to the average forGreater Sydney.• There is a significantly smaller proportion ofyoung working age (25-34 years) at 7.2%compared to 15.4% in Greater Sydney.• There are more couple families with children at46%, compared with 34.8% in Greater Sydney.• Ku-ring-gai’s estimated resident populationwas 116,569 in 2012, up from 105,103 in 2006,giving an annual growth rate of 1.74%. Between2011 and 2012 Ku-ring-gai's populationincreased by 1,865 or 1.6% compared with1.3% for Greater Sydney.Greater Sydney12 Draft Delivery Program 2013 - 2017 and Operational Plan 2013 - 2014Ku-ring-gai Council 13Ku-ring-gai

A study by Margrit Koettig, estimated thatas many as 650 sites of Aboriginal heritage may have existedwithin the Ku-ring-gai Local Government Area (LGA). Withapproximately 75 percent of the land within the LGA alreadydeveloped, it is likely that a large number of Aboriginal sites havebeen destroyed. 92 sites remain as recorded Aboriginal sites inthe LGA, but at least double that number is believed to remain.The Aboriginal sites within Ku-ring-gai are under constant threatfrom development, vandalism and natural erosion.The Aboriginal Heritage Office (AHO) assists Ku-ring-gai, LaneCove, North Sydney, Manly, Warringah and Willoughby councilsto preserve and protect over 1,000 sites of Aboriginal cultureand heritage across the North Shore. The AHO also aims to findout more about the ways of life of the Guringai people beforecolonisation. Education is an important part of this program, andthe AHO conducts a series of talks, walks and other activities forschool groups and the general community.Ku-ring-gai’s European heritageEuropean settlement in Ku-ring-gai began in 1814. One of thefirst white settlers was William Henry who farmed land alongthe Lane Cove River. The early population consisted of itinerantworkers, loggers, farmers and orchardists who were often selfsufficientand lived in communities that were isolated and had noaccess to a reliable water supply.These two factors limiting population-growth were overcome inthe mid to late 1800s with the establishment of major transportroutes, including the completion of a railway line from Hornsby toMilsons Point in 1893. Construction of water tanks at Wahroongaand Pymble connected the district to the Sydney metropolitanwater supply scheme with water sources from the Nepeancatchment. Soon after this, isolated farming communities weretransformed into residential suburbs, and in 1906, Ku-ring-gaiwas established as a represented Municipal Council.The interwar period saw vast improvements in infrastructure andan era of urban consolidation. The original building housing thepresent Council Chambers was opened in 1928. Ku-ring-gai isrenowned for its architectural heritage, particularly those homesbuilt during the Federation and interwar periods.Almost all of Ku-ring-gai was designated for residentialdevelopment, as opposed to commercial and industrialdevelopments, and very few blocks of flats were permitted before1940. The larger-than average suburban allotments, buildingcovenants, fine gardens, retention of native flora and restrictionof industrial and commercial development are indicative of Kuring-gai’sheritage.Ku-ring-gai has a long history of migration commencing withthe Chinese in the 1920s. At this time, the fruit fly put an end tocommercial cultivation of fruit on the North Shore. As a result,many orchardists leased their land to Chinese settlers formarket gardens. The market gardeners grew a range of produceincluding bulk vegetables. These gardens disappeared from Kuring-gaiby the end of World War II. Italians moved to Ku-ring-gaiduring the 1920s and 1930s, working in orchards and on farms.Between 1950 and 1980, Ku-ring-gai’s population doubled fromroughly 50,000 to 100,000 as a result of post-war marriagesand immigration. Since 1980 there has been little change in thepopulation.14 Draft Delivery Program 2013 - 2017 and Operational Plan 2013 - 2014Ku-ring-gai Council 15

Financial summaryp ar t 2Council’s budget for 2013-2014 is developed using the 20 YearLong Term Financial Plan (LTFP). The LTFP is based on thefollowing principles:Maximize funds available for projects to upgrade or renewinfrastructure by:• Maximising the operating profit before capital items.• Prioritizing the use of Council cash reserves.• Borrowing in accordance with policy.• Timing project expenditure over a longer period and linking tofunds availability.Financial sustainability tests applied by the LTFP:Target a minimum working capital of 5.5% of operating expenses(excluding depreciation) as recommended by Council’s externalauditors. Working capital is determined by taking net currentassets less internally and externally restricted reserves andadding those current liabilities to be funded from the next year’sbudget. Essentially, working capital is a measure of Council’sliquidity and ability to meet its obligations as they fall due. It isthe primary measure of the overall financial position in LocalGovernment. This will allow for unforeseen expenditure orreductions in revenue or other accounting adjustments.• Maximum debt service ratio of 4% in any one year (industrygreen light benchmark less than10%).• Achieve an operating surplus, before capital income items, tofund capital expenditure.• Maintain a minimum level of internal discretionary cashreserves (excluding liability cash reserves) of 10% of revenue.• Maintain a minimum level of s94 Development reserves of $5m• Only capital items to be funded from cash reserves• Proceeds of asset sales returned to reserves for expenditure onnew assets or major asset refurbishment.Borrowing and Debt StrategyBorrowings are considered as a source of funding for:• Building or purchase of infrastructure assets where a detailedcash flow analysis shows that full funding costs can be recoveredover the life of the asset.• Economic investments where a new asset or service decreasesexisting costs or provides new revenue in excess of their fundingcosts (positive NPV).• In an emergency.As borrowings are usually the highest cost source of funds:• All possible internal funding sources are considered and usedfirst (including re-allocation of funds from lower priority projectsor operating items); and• The proposed project is re-timed to match internal fundsavailability.The 2013/2014 budget has been developed to ensure that theabove financial targets are met and maintained in the future.Council’s next 4 years Operating and Capital budget issummarised below.62 Draft Delivery Program 2013 - 2017 and Operational Plan 2013 - 2014Ku-ring-gai Council 63

Statement of proposed borrowingsNational C ompetition PolicyAny new borrowings must be in accordance with the MinisterialOrder dated 13 May 2009 and comply with Section 624 ofthe Local Government Act 1993 and clause 230 of the LocalGovernment (General) Regulation 2005. A council may borrow atany time for any purpose allowed under the Local GovernmentAct 1993. The minister may, from time to time, impose limitationsor restrictions on borrowings.Council considers the maintenance of existing infrastructureassets should be funded from operating revenue and that loanfunds are only to be utilised for the following purposes:• Building or purchase of infrastructure assets where a detailedcash flow analysis shows that full funding costs can berecovered over the life of the asset• Economic investments where a new asset or service decreasesexisting costs or provides new revenue in excess of their fundingcosts (positive Net Present Value - NPV)• In an emergency.Submissions will be invited from financial institutions to providethe required borrowings.Council complies with the provisions of Section 623 of the LocalGovernment Act 1993 and clause 229 of the Local Government(General) Regulation 2005, in that any funds borrowed byCouncil will be secured by a charge over Council’s general fundincome.Council will need a borrowing program to purchase/constructnew major assets, whilst maintaining existing levels of assetrenewals.The proposed new borrowings, over the term of the plan are:Over the term of this Delivery Program, Council will reduce totaldebt by $28,692,000OverdraftApplication has been made to borrow, and re-borrow from timeto time, within a maximum limit of $2,000,000 by way of overdraftfrom the Westpac Banking Corporation or approved bankingservices provider. Council also has an $100,000 limit on itsCorporate Credit Cards.The intent of the National Competition Policy is to applycompetitive neutrality principles to business activities conductedby councils.The principle of competitive neutrality is based on the conceptof the ‘level playing field’ and essentially means that Councilshould operate without net competitive advantage over otherbusinesses as a result of its public ownership. The ‘level playingfield’ enhances competition, promotes greater efficiency and lowercosts to government and the community.Council is required to incorporate the costs of administrativeoverheads including depreciation charges, imputed taxation costs,and a notional return on capital for its Category 1 and Category 2businesses.Category 1 businesses are defined as those which have grossoperating income exceeding $2 million, while Category 2businesses have gross operating incomes of less than $2 million.In accordance with this policy Council has identified the followingbusiness activities.Category 1At this stage Council has no Category 1 businesses.Category 2a.
