I am pleased to be able to present the 2016–2017 Operational Plan, which represents the fourth Operational Plan for this current term of Council.

In October 2015, as part of the NSW Government’s local government reform program titled ‘Fit for the Future’, Port Macquarie-Hastings Council was deemed to be a ‘Fit’ council. This means that Council has

not been flagged to merge with any other council and has been deemed financially fit following the development of an action plan that demonstrates how Council will work towards meeting the various financial benchmarks set down by the government over the coming years.

Being deemed a ‘Fit’ council is testament to the work Councillors and Council staff have been undertaking over the past several years. It means that we will be able to continue to focus on delivering improved outcomes for our community by being solutions-focused and by ensuring the organisation has a culture of continuous improvement so that services are delivered in the most efficient and effective way possible.

As we continue to work towards bringing Council closer to the community, we take every opportunity possible to engage with our

A MESSAgE fROMtHE gENERAl MANAgER

community on a regular basis. We take much of our direction from these valuable opportunities to connect with the people who help make our area such a vibrant place to live, learn, work, play and invest.

This financial year will see us continue to deliver some major infrastructure such as the continued construction of Stingray Creek Bridge at North Haven; a major upgrade of Houston Mitchell Drive at Lake Cathie; the construction of an amenities block at Port Macquarie Town Beach North; completion of the expansion of the Port Macquarie Indoor Stadium; resealing of local roads in Wauchope; the replacement of Hyndmans Creek bridge on Comboyne Road plus several other bridge replacements; reconstruction of Stage 2 of Beechwood Road and the list goes on.

In addition to delivering some major projects, Council will continue to deliver other services such as water and sewer services, library services, cultural services and waste services. We will also maintain our $2 billion plus of assets on behalf of the community.

In a time of sustained, increased growth across the local government area, our focus remains on ensuring that we are delivering value for money services for the community.

The Capital Works program for 2016–2017 has been developed to meet future infrastructure needs and reflect the objectives of the Community Strategic Plan. Investment in new works will total $66.2m.

The individual projects are listed in greater detail throughout the Operational Plan in the relevant focus area and are shaded.

This graph shows where the funding comes from to carry out these works. It should be noted that reserve funds are rating revenue from previous years that have been put away for future expenditure. Included in the transfers from reserves are loans that were borrowed in previous years. Unspent loan funding is transferred to reserves so that it can be used when required.

> Helping our Community Prosper – economic development, business support, airport, Glasshouse

HOW tO READtHiS DOCUMENt

liNkiNg tO tHE DElivERY PROgRAM

Each Focus Area in the document has a cover page that summarises the area’s objectives from the Towards 2030 Community Strategic Plan (What are we trying to achieve?) and the Councillors’ Delivery Program (How do we get there?).

These overviews help to put the specific activities and programs of this one year Operational Plan in the context of broader community goals, and the Delivery Program.

NUMBERiNg SYStEM

In order to assist with monitoring activity from the Operational Plan against the objectives of the Four Year Delivery Program (2013–2017), a numbering system has been developed. This means every activity across the four years has its own number.

Each action item has an individual reference number linking it back to the relevant Focus Area. Where numbers don’t appear in sequential order it means that actions had been completed in previous years during the 2013–2017 Delivery Program cycle. Delivery Program Objectives that do not have an Operational Plan number associated indicate that action has occurred prior to 2016–2017.
