Author: Councillor Paul Funnell
That Council: a write to Premier Baird calling for him and his Government to reconsider their position on banning greyhound racing in NSW b forward a copy of the written request to all NSW members of Parliament |
Report
The NSW Government has set down, that greyhound racing be banned in NSW as of July 2017. The purpose of this report is to write to the Premier and all members of the both houses of NSW parliament, urging them to reconsider the said position and take a democratic approach to this matter and put in place a moratorium that will give the entire industry and all stake holders an opportunity to rectify any issues identified in the recent McHugh report into the greyhound racing industry.
This recommendation in no way supports any acceptance of any animal cruelty or unsafe practices of any kind. This is about requesting that a proper democratic process be followed and that participants of the sport be given an opportunity that should be given to any sector. Particularly one that impacts on so many sectors of the community.
In the event that greyhound racing is banned, this will have flow on effects throughout the State and will directly impact on the Wagga Wagga LGA. Ratepayers of Wagga, for example, already support the Show Society to the amount of $9850.00 annually via rate support. There are several hundred participants within this sport locally on a regular basis that bring jobs and economic benefit to the city. One of our many functions as a Council is to try to facilitate and support economic benefit to our region.
Whilst this letter as requested may be at the eleventh hour, it is important that when considering what is important to the economic fabric of our region, the fact that even when sometimes decisions have already been made, in the true spirit of doing what is right, one should never give up.

RP-3 RURAL FIRE SERVICES - ZONE ARRANGEMENTS & FUNDING MODEL
Director: Richardson, Craig
That Council: a endorse the apportionment of contributions to the NSW Rural Fire Services within the Riverina Zone as detailed in the body of the report b authorise the Mayor and General Manager to pursue the follow up actions with the Minister for Emergency Services and the Treasurer as detailed in the body of the report c note and approve the budget variation/s as detailed in the budget section of the report |
Report
Executive Summary
The intended purpose of this report is to confirm the apportionment between member Councils of the Riverina Zone of the Rural Fire Services (RFS) following the departure of the former Urana Shire Council and to support the actions endorsed at the meeting between Coolamon, Lockhart, Junee and Wagga Wagga Councils on 3 August 2016.
Report
Apportionment of Contributions
The current and proposed apportionment of contributions between member Councils is shown in the table below:

44% |
Total |
100% |
100% |
The proposed apportionments were endorsed at the zone meeting held in Coolamon on 3 August 2016 subject to confirmation by resolution of each respective Council.
The apportionments reflect the historical averages of contributions over the last ten year period and all Councils present at the last meeting did not see any need to change the status quo.
New Funding Model
The previous formula for calculation of contributions was determined by the estimated operating costs for each district and zone, capital cost of plant and equipment replacements, brigade sheds and a portion of NSW headquarters administration and support expenses. Each zone contributes 11.7% of the total of these costs and the zone apportions the contribution to each member Council as per the table above.
The new funding model applies from 1 July 2016 and has been simplified in that each zone pays a nominated portion of the total state budget for the Rural Fire Fighting Fund (RFFF). The portion allocated to the Riverina Zone is 2.7% and this has been determined based on the 20 year history of allocations to that district.
The advantage of the new funding model is that it evens out fluctuations in contributions for years where there is higher than normal plant and equipment and building replacements. The contribution amount is far more predictable.
The concerns are:
· Council will no longer have to sign off on estimate bids. The RFS have indicated that consultation will still occur but there is less opportunity for individual Councils to influence the final result.
· Councils have traditionally received a reimbursement of the 11.7% on the VASS charges from the previous. The RFS will no longer provide this reimbursement. Council has budgeted to receive $90,000 for this reimbursement in 2016/17 and for each year of the Long Term Financial Plan.
· There seems to be little incentive under the new funding model for the State to reduce or remove inefficiencies in their operations. The average increase in the overall RFFF over the last five (5) years is 3.72%. This is more than double the rate pegging limit of 1.8% for 2016/17.
Emergency Service Levy
Council will commence the levy of the Emergency Services Levy (ESL) on behalf of the NSW State Government from 1 July 2017. There has been very little consultation with Councils to date and the specific details of the levee including amounts, exemptions, rebates etc are not yet available. It is expected this consultation will commence later this calendar year.
From the limited information available it is clear that the State does not intend to capture the contributions made by Councils within the ESL. Therefore Council will pass on the collection of the ESL from property owners as well as continue to include the annual contributions to the RFFF as a component of ordinary rates levied.
This issue was discussed at the Riverina Zone Meeting and it was agreed that a more simple and transparent basis would be for Councils to include its own contribution to the RFFF as a component of the ESL. This would also remove the frequent mismatch between the increase in the statutory contribution to the RFFF and the rate pegging limit.
Follow up Actions
The agreed follow up actions from the meeting at Coolamon on 3 August 2016 are as follows:
Lobby the Minister for Emergency Services and the NSW Treasurer via Local Government NSW and the Local Member for the State to:
a. include the statutory contribution to the RFFF as a component of the ESL.
b. remove or reduce inefficiencies in the State budget with a view to containing future increases within the rate pegging limit applied to Councils.

Budget Summary
The changes to the funding model for the RFFF has a significant impact on Council’s overall budget commencing from the 2016/17 financial year.
The adjustments for the Rural Fire Service contributions noted in this report are proposed to be funded from identified operational savings, with some future years in the LTFP showing a small deficit balance. This is due to the current inability to find savings for the full amount of the adjustment proposed. These small deficit balances which total $170,198 over the life of the current LTFP will be considered during the compilation of the 2017/18 LTFP.

Amundsen Bridge |
$563K |
Section 94 Contributions ($563K) |
Nil |
|||
It is proposed to bring forward S94 Contribution funding for the Amundsen Bridge from 2017/18 due to the close connection with the Lineal Park project. The design and construction of the Lineal Park, the proposed Bradman Drive and the Amundsen Bridge need to integrate so that the completed works complement each other. The subdivision designs on each side are reasonably advanced. The bridge will allow Bradman Drive to cross over the waterway and cycleway/pathway that runs the length of Linear Park. It is highly likely that the bridge will be a twin cell box culvert with a height to accommodate cyclists and pedestrians. |
