Councillor Report

CR-1              2016 AUSTRALIAN LOGISTICS COUNCIL FORUM

Author:          The Mayor, Councillor Rod Kendall

 

Recommendation

That Council receive and note the report.

 

Report

The Mayor, Councillor Rod Kendall attended the 2016 Australian Logistics Council (ALC) Forum held on 2-3 March 2016 in Sydney.

 

This year’s forum had a particular focus on improving freight efficiency in New South Wales, where the state’s freight task is expected to double by 2030. The logistics industry will have to attract broad community support if it is to achieve regulatory reform and approval for major infrastructure projects, so there is a need for action across a range of fronts to improve the efficiency of Australia’s supply chains.

 

Notes from the Forum are set out below.

 

Day One – Wednesday, 2 March 2016

 

Welcome: Chairman, Australian Logistics Council, Mr Don Telford

Welcome to all attendees and introduction of the new chair, Mr Ian Murray AM.

 

An overview of the ALC is on their web site austlogistics.com.au. The conference presentations will be placed on that site as well. Mr Murray stressed the importance of innovation, and seeking better ways of doing things.

 

The forum objectives are to highlight the importance of logistics; and to develop practical steps to having the right infrastructure in the right place. The NSW infrastructure agenda is the biggest ever in that state.

 

Opening Address: The Hon Duncan Gay MLC, Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight

Minister Gay acknowledged the work of Don Telford, congratulated Mr Murray on his appointment and payed tribute to the work of The Hon. Warren Truss as former Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development. The government has made a priority of recognising the importance of infrastructure that enables freight logistics. There are 4600 projects currently under way. It is important to fix the last mile constraints; we need to be innovative for future funding.

 

Minister Gay’s focus is how to get the best value out of allocated funds, by having interest in the project at the beginning and then selling down the asset, thereby releasing funds to reinvest.

 

Moorebank is not the only intermodal needed in the state, he is approached weekly in regard to new intermodals. A whole of network approach is critical. The private sector will develop the terminals, the state’s role is the background infrastructure and links.

In regional NSW there are current plans for at least 11 new intermodals. Minister Gay has established the Regional Intermodal Taskforce, but he didn't seem aware that the taskforce had visited Wagga Wagga. In regards to inland rail, the state’s investment must return to this state. Does the intrastate route return on investment?

 

In regard to investing record money on enabling infrastructure in the bush, Minister Gay highlighted the Kapooka Bridge as a key structure. This week Councils will be asked to submit final details of Fixing Country Rail proposals in the second round of funding, and he also outlined the Fixing Country Rail program.

 

‘State of Play’: Mr Michael Photios, Chairman, PremierState

Mr Photios indicated he will share candidly and frankly the state of play. He acknowledged the current work of the NSW state government in its infrastructure investment. Minister Gay and Minister Skinner are examples of exemplar ministers who came to their portfolios with experience. In NSW we have the only popular state government and popular premier. It's almost inevitable that this government will be returned in 2019.

 

Federally we are in a totally different paradigm. This is largely the result of no fixed term and too short a term with a poor senate that results in continuing politics. We may be about to see a seven (7) week Federal election campaign. This will be difficult for the micro parties. If a double dissolution election is called it must be after the budget in May and therefore cannot be until 2 July due to the Electoral Act. The coalition will need a national action plan and will need to be very disciplined. He thinks The Hon. Malcolm Turnbull will be re-elected as Prime Minister. He cannot make the same mistake as was made with the tax debate. There must be firm proposals.

 

After the next election we will see the real Mr Turnbull, when he has a personal mandate. In the USA, the country is losing its traditional ideology and is becoming popularist. This is a concern. In Australia, the Prime Minister must come out with a real agenda and this will give momentum. Mr Bill Shorten MP remains an asset for the coalition.

 

The government is not going to spend any new money at this time. They must save money now and all initiatives must be at least revenue neutral. For industry, building relationships on both sides of Parliament is very important at all times.

 

‘The Infrastructure Australia 15 Year Infrastructure Plan’: Mr Phil Davies, CEO, Infrastructure Australia

Mr Davies spoke in relation to logistics and supply chain. The plan was released two (2) weeks ago, and is available on their web site, it has 78 recommendations. The infrastructure priority list has been updated and there are 93 in the list. They have identified future corridors.

 

In developing the Plan, we have prioritised the user – the commuter waiting for a train, the family paying their electricity bill and the business looking to capitalise on overseas markets. If the Plan is delivered, Australians can expect more affordable, innovative and competitive energy, telecommunications, water and transport services.

 

Alongside the Plan is Infrastructure Australia's reinvigorated Infrastructure Priority List (IPL) which identifies potential infrastructure solutions for investment over the next 15 years. It will be updated regularly throughout each year. The Plan was developed following consultation on the Australian Infrastructure Audit report. Infrastructure Australia will update the Plan at least every five (5) years.

 

‘A Rail Perspective from the Port of Rotterdam’: Mr Hans Peter Voorhoeve, Account-Director Freight Relations, ProRail (Rotterdam, the Netherlands)

Mr Voorhoeve outlined characteristics of the Netherlands logistics, and the forward plans to increase the use of rail in particular. Historically the Netherlands has relied on trade and been a key player in world’s trade logistics. Over 40% of Dutch economy is attributable to logistics and trade. The Netherlands is the most attractive logistics location as determined by a German Study.

 

Key points from this presentation are:

·        Rail needs to be innovative

·        Supply chain network management is necessary to coordinate.

·        Who pays and who benefits?

·        Are politicians willing?

 

‘The Renaissance of American Rail’: Mr Anthony Hatch, Principal, ABH Consulting (New York, USA)

Mr Hatch believes rail freight is a continental issue. Canada is similar to Australia and they have developed a model we could all aspire to. Genesee Wyoming is a major USA player.

 

Deregulation in the Staggers Act of the Carter presidency started the Renaissance. It allowed the railway to compete against road. The grand bargain: raise prices, improve service, improve efficiency, improve profitability, improve use, reduce costs and reduce prices. Rail continues to gain share from road.

 

Challenges Mr Hatch identified are:

·        Deregulation

·        Decline of coal

·        Increased energy costs

·        Network blockages

·        The USA have a double stack network which is incredibly efficient

·        Trucking companies are now becoming bi-modal

 

Logistics Reforms for the Future Productivity: Session Chair – Mr Andrew Ethell, Group Director Corporate Affairs, Toll and Chair, ALC Infrastructure Committee

Logistics reforms were discussed in a panel format.  Long term investment planning and infrastructure investment protection is important. Logistics is an area where there is a very significant opportunity to drive economic gains. One of the biggest inhibitors to change is the lack of confidence in government.

 

How has Local Government spent its additional $1B in Roads to Recovery. How many last mile issues have been addressed.

 

The National Vehicle Regulator has data in relation to movement blockages and transport usage. This data can be accessed and will be useful information for funding priority.

 


NSW Ports and Intermodal: Session Chair – Ms Rachel Johnson, Chair, Port Botany Rail Optimisation Group

Most imports have a metro destination. Most exports have a regional origin.

 

Role of Infrastructure Funds in the Australian Logistics Industry: Session Chair – Mr Lachlan Benson, MD, Blue Arcadia

This panel gave an insight into superannuation fund investment strategies. Investments are often very long term, risk and debt are well managed.

 

Day Two – Thursday, 3 March 2016

 

‘Improving Supply Chain Visibility and Interoperability’: Ms Bonnie Ryan, Industry Manager – Trade & Transport, GS1 Australia

Outlined the new Australian freight labelling system that will result in significant savings and efficiency. A common label will apply to all carriers.

 

The Future of CBD Freight Delivery: Session Chair – Mr Charlie Macdonald, Manufacturing, Transport & Logistics Industry Executive, Telstra and Chair, ALC Technology Committee

Spoke about the continuing issues of logistics in the Sydney CBD. Telstra’s Sydney web site gives live information. Also discussed the current and emerging delivery expectations and trends.

 

‘Strategic Planning and Logistics Infrastructure - Can we get the balance right’: Mr Brian Haratsis, Executive Chairman, MacroPlan Dimasi

 

Issues covered in this presentation are:

 

·        Growth

·        Fragmented state plans

·        National freight plan identifies the major challenges

·        No matter the national plan states still act independently

·        Eastern seaboard population doubling in the next 15 years

 

Supply Chain Dynamics: Session Chair – Ms Danella Wilmshurst, Partner, Holding Redlich

Ms Wilmshurst spoke in relation to changes to the verified mass of containers and the safety and logistics issues that result from false container weight declarations. New international regulations (SOLAS) are to be imposed. Issues still exist with variations in international standards of weights. Container safety is a hot topic due to safety and contribution to accidents.

 

Dynamics of Port Supply Chains: Session Chair – Dr Hermione Parsons, Director, Institute for Supply Chain and Logistics

Ports are key supporters of the economy. Inland rail must also have dedicated freight rail connections to ports.

 

Five key objectives for port growth:

 

1.      Sufficient road connection

2.      Rail transportation must be grown

3.      Use land and infrastructure efficiently

4.      Grow port capacity

5.      Protect ports from urban encroachment

 

Q. Why are there no inland ports in Australia? And why have city port operators not decentralised?

 

Inland Rail: Session Chair – Mr John Fullerton, CEO and MD, Australian Rail Track Corporation

Pros and cons were discussed.

 

Future of Air Freight: Session Chair – Mr Michael Kilgariff, MD, ALC

Biggest issue is Sydney airport curfew and congestion. There is an opportunity for back haul freight that will open opportunities for regional products.

 

Closing Session: The Hon Anthony Albanese MP, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure & Transport

Economic debate is how we move on after the mining boom. Picking the right infrastructure spends will be critical.

 

How do we create certainty on infrastructure spend given the short political cycle. Infrastructure Australia will play an important role. Spend must be based on business cases not on politics.

Reports from Staff

RP-1               RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS/BUSINESS WITH NOTICE

Acting Director:        Priest, Christine          

 

Recommendation

That Council receive and note the report outlining responses to Questions/Business with Notice.

 

Report

The report below addresses the Questions/Business with Notice raised during the Ordinary Council meeting held Monday, 29 March 2016:

 

1.      Councillor P Funnell requested details of emergency storage/discharge protection at the treatment plants in regard to the river.

 

Response provided by Infrastructure Services:

 

In regards to the protection of waterways from sewage treatment discharges, Council is heavily regulated through an Environmental Protection Licence by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA). Council has the capacity to bypass the discharge to waterways in the event of either a high flow or a toxic shock incident.

 

The bypass of effluent is captured into an emergency storage pond where it is tested, analysed and returned through the treatment process to meet all Council’s conditioned quality limits prior to discharge to waterway.

 

As an update the construction of a 20 ML Emergency Storage Pond to protect the Narrung Street Sewage Treatment Plant from high inflow/infiltration during periods of heavy and sustained rainfall and toxic shock events is underway.

 

Designed to function in flood events up to and including a 1:100 year flood event, the structure is being built to enable it to receive screened and de-gritted sewage for later withdrawal and processing by the plant operators after high inflows have subsided.

 

The construction of the pond must meet stringent environmental conditions which are regulated through the EPA. The pond has an initial lime stabilised clay liner that is to be covered by builders plastic, then a BIDIM geotextile fabric, capped off with 400 cover layer consisting of soil, sand and matured biosolids.

 

Council has a number of these emergency storage ponds available at both the Narrung and Kooringal Treatment Plants. Council is capable of containing a minimum of two (2) days of total flows within storage prior to the commencement of a return back through the treatment process.

Report submitted to the Ordinary Meeting of Council on Tuesday 26 April 2016.                                                            RP-4

 

RP-4               2016 NSW LOCAL ROADS CONGRESS

Author:                        Fenwick, Alex

General Manager:    Eldridge, Alan          

 

Recommendation

That Council:

a       endorse the attendance of the Mayor or a Councillor at the 2016 NSW Local Roads Congress

b       appoint the Mayor or nominate a Councillor to attend the 2016 NSW Local Roads Congress

c       receive a report on the outcome of the 2016 NSW Roads Congress

 

Report

This report seeks the endorsement of the Council for the Mayor and/or Councillor/s to represent Council at this year’s 2016 NSW Local Roads Congress in Sydney on Monday 6 June 2016. The 2016 NSW Local Congress provides a platform to engage with the State Government on road and infrastructure policies and initiatives.

 

The theme of the Congress is 'Roads and Transport - Driving a New Direction’. Areas of discussion will encompass the following:

 

·        Do your infrastructure assets meet community expectations?

·        Are there better funding models?

·        Access to new Grant Funds – what’s available?

·        Closer links to the Road Industry to enhance performance?

·        Discussion paper for Special Schedule 7, what do you need to know?

 

Given the increasing fiscal pressure on all levels of Government, it is important that Wagga Wagga City Council is represented at the Congress along with other Local Government representatives to present a united front when dealing with the Government on road and transport issues, particularly funding.

 

A copy of the Congress draft program is attached to this report for the reference of Councillors.

 

Council is a member of the Roads and Transport Directorate.  As a member, Council is entitled to a complimentary registration for a Councillor with a paying delegate.

 

Given current resource levels and workloads, it may not be possible to send a member of staff to the Congress. Consideration may be given to the attendance by the Manager Engineering or another other delegate, who would accompany the Mayor and/or Councillor/s if representation at the Congress is endorsed.

Budget

The cost of registration for the Congress is $800. This cost together with associated travel costs would be met by the Councillors’ Conferences/Seminars budget of which there are currently funds to the value of $16,983 available. However, should a Councillor attend with a paying delegate there would be no registration cost incurred for the Councillor.
