satisfies the requirements under the Local Government Act 1999 and, where
appropriate, the requirements of this Policy.

(Sections 159 to 166) those provisions applicable to the Council granting a
rebate of rates to persons or bodies.

The Council has adopted a Policy to assist it in its decision making functions
relative to the operation of the rate rebate provisions contained in the Act.

This Policy is intended to provide guidance to the community as to the
grounds upon which a person or body is, or may be entitled to receive a
rebate of rates and the matters that the Council will take into account in
deciding an application for a rebate.
1.4
In accordance with the rebate provisions contained in the Act, this Policy sets
out the type of use in respect of land which the Council must grant a rebate of
rates and the amount that rebate must be, and those types of land use where

Page 6 of 10
4.1.12 where the rebate is considered by the Council to be appropriate to
provide relief against what would otherwise amount to a substantial
change in rates payable due to a change in the basis of valuation used
for the purposes of rating, rapid changes in valuations, or anomalies in
valuations.
4.2
The Council may grant a rebate of rates up to and including 100% of the
relevant rates or service charges. The Council may grant a rebate for a
period exceeding one year, but not exceeding 10 years in respect of those
cases identified at 4.1.1, 4.1.2 or 4.1.11 above.

4.5
Persons who or bodies which seek a discretionary rebate will be required to
submit an application form to the Council and provide to the Council such
information as stipulated on the application form and any other information
that the Council may reasonably require.
5.
Rate Capping Rebates
5.1
Council is continually improving its rating system to have the most equitable
and fairest distribution across the community, while providing relief for those
ratepayers who have limited incomes and ability to pay. A Rate Cap is to
apply to eligible residential ratepayers’ principal place of residence to protect
individuals against increased rates brought about by substantially increased
property valuations. Council will apply a rate cap to Residential 1, Residential
2 and Primary Production properties affected by the increases in each
financial year.
5.2
A rebate of general rates will be granted to the Principal Ratepayer where the
amount of any increase in rates is greater than 12.5%. To provide further
protection for ratepayers on limited incomes, who hold a State Concession
Card and are eligible for the maximum pensioner concession, a lower cap will
apply.
5.2.1 A rebate will not apply where -
187
Page 7 of 10
5.2.1.1 any such increase is due in whole or part to an increase in
valuation of the land in the assessment because of
improvements made to it worth more than $20,000, or
5.2.1.2
any such increase is in whole or part because the zoning of
the land has been changed, or
5.2.1.3
any such increase is due in full or part to the use of the land
being different for rating purposes on the date Council
declared its general rates for the financial year, than on the
date the Council declared its general rates for the previous
financial year, or
5.2.1.4 the ownership of the rateable property has changed since the
previous financial year, or
5.2.1.5 the land use classification is Commercial, Industrial or Vacant
Land.
6.

the Local Government Act by the inclusion of suitable details in the Annual

Council including, but not limited to, the following –

why it is appropriate;

another Council;

service within the Council area;
6.5.6 whether the applicant is a public sector body, a private not for profit

rates must do so on or before 31 October in the year of the application. The
Council reserves the right to refuse to consider applications received after that

6.7
The Act provides that the Council may grant a rebate of rates or charges on
such conditions as the Council thinks fit.
6.8
The Council may, for proper cause, determine that an entitlement to a rebate
of rates under the Act no longer applies.

It is an offence for a person or body to make a false or misleading statement
or representation in an application or to provide false or misleading
information or evidence in support of an application made (or purporting to be
made) under the Act.
The maximum penalty for this offence is $5,000.
6.10
If a person or body has the benefit of a rebate of rates and the grounds on
which the rebate has been granted cease to exist, the person or body must
immediately inform the Council of that fact and (whether or not the Council is
so informed) the entitlement to a rebate ceases. If a person or body fails to do
so that person or body is guilty of an offence.
The maximum penalty for this offence is $5,000.
6.11
The Council will, in writing advise an applicant for a rebate of its determination
of that application within sixty business days of receiving the application or of
receiving all information requested by the Council. The advice will state –

REPORT TITLE:
FEES & CHARGES REGISTER 2010-2011
FILE NUMBER:
30/050/026
Strategic Plan Ref:
Goal 5 – Council Leadership –
5.6 “….Balanced annual budget….”
Purpose
To provide the Council with the information necessary to make a decision
regarding the proposed Fees and Charges Register 2010-2011.
Summary – Key Issues:
Update Council’s Fees and Charges Register for the 2010-2011 financial
year.
Recommendation
That the 2010-2011 Register of Fees and Charges as attached be adopted.
Background
In conjunction with the development of the annual business plan and
budget, fees and charges are reviewed annually. Relevant staff from all
departments have undertaken a review of all the proposed fees and
charges. A proposed register of Fees and Charges for 2010-2011 has been
prepared & attached to this report (Refer attachment 1).
Discussion
1.
The schedule of fees and charges is to apply for a range of services in
the 2010-2011 financial year in accordance with Section 188 of the
Local Government Act 1999.
2.
Fees and charges may be fixed, varied, or revoked by decision of
Council or by by-law. Council must keep a list of fees and charges
imposed under this section on public display (during ordinary office
hours) at the principal office of the council.
3.
The Register of Fees and Charges details the user charges set by
Council and the statutory charges set by the State Government in
regulations. The statutory fees and charges are the current charges
and may be amended by State Government at any time during the
financial year.
4.
The Register of Fees and Charges will be updated as statutory
charges are amended. CWMS and Refuse charges will be applied pro
rata from the date of access to the service as determined by Council’s
business plan.
191
5.
Council determined fees and charges have in general been increased
by 3-4% to meet the estimated increase in the cost of Council
operations reflected in the 4% increase in operating expenditure in
Council’s Draft Annual Business Plan 2010-2011.
6.
Administration charges, specifically photocopying charges have been
increased at a higher rate. These have not increased since 2005 and
the increase recommended takes the CPI increases over the period
into account, library photocopying charges have been adjusted to the
same level.
7.
Cemetery fees for vaults have been adjusted to reflect the true cost of
construction, and curator fees adjusted to account for out of hours
attendance. The Mount Barker Lawn Cemetery fees have been
adjusted to match the increased cost of maintenance of this area.
8.
Dog registration fees were adopted by Council on 1 March 2010 and
subsequently approved by the Minister for Environment and
Conservation with the full registration fee increased to $50 and
subsequent discounted registrations showing a similar % increase.
9.
The list of Immunisation services has been adjusted to reflect the
current requirements and costs to Council. Fees for cooling towers
have been included in line with the Legionella Regulations and
Guidelines
10. The charge for Refuse collection has not increased with estimated
revenue sufficient to cover the annual cost of the kerbside collection
service of $1,946,767. Green waste and scrap metal prices at the
transfer station, which have not been increased for more than five
years will be increased next year to account for increases in mulching
and other operating costs over this period.
11. The Community Waste Water Management Schemes (CWMS) service
charge is collected specifically to cover the costs of supplying the
service to ratepayers. The annual charge pays for maintaining and
operating the service as well as contributing to capital costs for
maintaining and upgrading the infrastructure. In 2010-2011 it is
estimated that $4,804,478 will be spent on CWMS operations,
maintenance and capital. The preparation of a new three year
business plan for CWMS is progressing well with completion expected
soon. This will further inform the approach to CWMS charges and will
be the subject of a separate agenda item to a future council meeting
12. Hourly hall hire fees for Mount Barker Hall have increased to bring
them in line with similar facilities and include a daily rate and a bond to
cover costs of occasional damage to the facility. The increase in fees
will enable annual maintenance and capital renewal to be fully funded
by the operations of the hall.
192

Environmental
Social
Wherever practicable fees are charged to the direct beneficiary of a service
through the making of;
• a user charge where this is practicable, and where direct charging is
consistent with Council policy, and with fairness and equity for that
particular service.
• Direct benefits will be largely, if not wholly, funded by user charges for
development processes (to the extent permitted by law), refuse disposal,
CWMS and water charges and certain services delivered directly to
individuals or groups.
Risk Assessment:
The Local Government Act 1999 requires that Council assesses the
financial requirements of the Council for the financial year and sets out a
summary of its proposed sources of revenue and takes into account the
Council's long-term financial plan.
Asset Management:
Fees & charges generated by Council assets contribute towards
maintenance and renewal of valuable infrastructure.

value of rateable land, is declared on all rateable land in the Council’s area,
within the SA Murray-Darling Basin Natural Resources Management Board
area for the year ending 30 June 2011.
Background
1. Section 123 (1) of the Local Government Act 1999 requires that a
Council must have a budget for each Financial Year, that it comply
with the Financial Regulations and that it be adopted after the 31st
May for the ensuing Financial Year, but no later than the 31st August
in the budget year.
2. Part 2 of the Financial Regulations describes the form of Council
budgets and the statements that are required to be included in the
budget documents.
3. The Draft Budget for 2010-2011 has been distributed and explained
to Council during a series of briefings during February, March and
April 2010. The briefing presentations divided the budget into four
areas; operating activities, strategic initiatives, annual infrastructure
works, and other new capital expenses. During these workshops all
aspects of the draft budget were covered and members were
provided opportunities to ask questions in relation to each area.
4. The Draft Budget was included in the Draft Annual Business Plan
that was provided for public consultation on 4 May 2010. A public
meeting was held on 7 June 2010 for discussion of the 2010-2011
draft business plan and budget and written submissions from the
community were considered by Council as part of the consultation
process. An email link for enquiries and to submit feedback on the
Draft Annual Business Plan was provided on Council’s website.
Discussion
Section 123 (7) of the Local Government Act 1999 requires that Each
budget of a council must—
218
1. be considered in conjunction with the council's annual business plan
(and must be consistent with that plan, as adopted); and
2. (b) be adopted by the council after the council has adopted its annual
business plan.
3. Council is faced with the challenges of providing services and to
raise more revenue in order to provide for the growing District. In
order to provide for this community, the general rate for 2010-2011 is
recommended to increase by 4% and includes a 1% Infrastructure
Fund Levy. It is to be noted that this recommendation is below that
indicated in Council’s Long Term Financial Plan.
4. The 2010-2011 Budget provides for new strategic initiatives of $1
million and a $17.1 million capital expenditure budget, including $6.6
million of annual renewal and replacement, and $10.5 million in new
capital projects.
5. Annual operating expenditure has increased by 4% to $31.6 million.
Residential property values have increased by approximately 4% on
average, and eligible ratepayers with a rate increase over 12.5% can
apply for a rebate with the pensioners rate cap set at 4 %.

REPORT TITLE:
COMMUNITY CONSULTATION FOR
PROPOSED LEASE TO NAIRNE GOLF
CLUB INC
FILE NUMBER:
32/065/001
Strategic Plan Ref:
Item 4.17 of Council’s Strategic Plan “plan for and manage community
assets in partnership with the community including the use of community
buildings and sporting facilities”
The use of the land is consistent with objectives of Council’s Community
Land Management Plan for Community, Recreation & Sport, particularly:
(a)
(b)
To promote the efficient and effective management of facilities and
organisations within the District; and
To ensure recreation and sporting facilities and space are
accessible and equitable to all citizens of our community.
Purpose
To gain Council’s approval to undertake community consultation for a
proposed lease to the Nairne Golf Club Inc over the land commonly known
as the Nairne Golf Club.
Summary/Key Points
1. Community consultation
2. Proposed lease to Nairne Golf Club including:
Term of twenty one (21) years
Defined obligations
Recommendation
That Council:
1. Authorises staff to undertake community consultation on a proposed
lease to the Nairne Golf Club Inc over the land described as Section
5281 in HP Plan 170600, Crown Record 5755 Folio 744, commonly
known as the Nairne Golf Club;
2. Note that at the conclusion of the community consultation a further
report will be prepared for Council.
Background
1. The Nairne Golf Club Inc (“Golf Club”) occupies the land described as
Section 5281 in HP Plan 170600, Crown Record 5755 Folio 744 (outlined
in green in Attachment 1)
234
2. The land is classified as community land under the Local Government
Act 1999, and categorised by Council as “Community, Recreation &
Sporting” for the purposes of the appropriate Community Land
Management Plan. The core objectives of this Management Plan are:
a) Encourage, promote and facilitate recreational pursuits in the
community involving organised and informal sporting activities and
games.
b) To improve the land in such a way as to promote and facilitate its
use to achieve the other core objectives for its management.
c)
Promote, encourage and provide for the use of the land and to
provide facilities on the land to meet the current and future needs
of the local community and of the wider public.
d) Provide for public recreation and the physical, cultural and social
and intellectual welfare or development of individual members of
the public.
e) Ensure that such activities are managed having regard to any
adverse impacts on nearby residents.
f)
In relation to purposes for which a lease or licence may be granted
in respect of the land (other than the provision of public utilities
and works associated with or ancillary to public utilities).
Discussion
1. A Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between Council and the
Golf Club was agreed in May 1973. The MOU permitted the Golf Club
to establish and maintain a golf course on the land. The MOU expired
on 30 April 1993. Since then the Golf Club has maintained occupation
of the land in the absence of any lease or similar formal agreement
with Council. In 2005 Council formally notified the Golf Club of the
expiry of the MOU and staff have worked with the various committees
since then to prepare the lease. Council has not collected any rental
from the Golf Club for occupation of the land. The Golf Club maintain
all of the land and the structures on the land. The Golf Club consists
of 80 members (58 male, 8 female & 14 juniors). The course consists
of nine (9) holes and is open each year from the start of April to the
end of October. Competitions are held each Wednesday, Saturday
and Sunday during this period.
2.
Pursuant to Section 200(1) of the Local Government Act 1999 “a
person must not use community land for a business purpose unless
the use is approved by the Council”. For the purposes of this Act, land
may be used for a business purpose even if it is not intended to make
a profit. The Golf Club is a not for profit organisation.
3.
Council staff have had discussions with the Golf Club and the terms of
the proposed lease are agreed in principle. The permitted use of the
lease will be for “golfing and associated recreational activities”. Council
staff consider that the permitted use aligns with the abovementioned
core objectives of the Community Land Management Plan for
Community, Recreation & Sporting facilities. The Golf Club will be
permitted to continue to sell alcohol on the premises under a lease.
235
4.
Pursuant to Section 202(4) of the Local Government Act 1999, a lease
or a licence is to be granted or renewed for a term not exceeding
twenty one (21) years including any renewals. The Golf Club has
requested that the lease be for twenty one (21) years and that the
peppercorn rental continue.

Policy:
Community Consultation policy
Council staff are preparing a “Leasing of Council Properties” policy
which will be presented to Council when drafted.
Budget:
Approximately $250 for a public notice in The Courier.
The Department of Environment & Heritage requires an application fee of
$338 for assessing requests to lease dedicated Crown land.
Statutory/Legal:
Pursuant to Section 202(2) of the Local Government Act 1999, “before a
Council grants a lease or a licence relating to community land, it must follow
the relevant steps set out in its public consultation policy”.
Council’s Community Consultation policy requires at least twenty one days
for responses for matters pertaining to the granting of a lease.
Pursuant to the Crown Land Management Act 1999, all new leases over
Crown land which has a dedication (in this case for recreational purposes)
need to be approved by the Minister for Environment & Conservation, as
owner of the land. Council staff have written to the Minister seeking
approval to grant a lease over the land. As the purpose for the use of the
land is consistent with the dedication it is anticipated that the Minister will
have no objection to Council granting a lease. The permitted use on the
land is consistent with the objectives of Council’s Community Land
Management Plan for Community, Recreational & Sporting facilities.
A draft lease has been provided by Council’s lawyers.
The establishment of a lease will be co-ordinated by existing staff.
Environmental
Social
There will be no change to social or recreational activities on the land. The
proposal is to establish a formal agreement directly with the Golf Club.
Risk Assessment:
Council’s risk will be reduced as the lease contains obligations wherein the
Golf Club is required to maintain adequate insurance cover and to
indemnify Council from claims arising out of the permitted activities on the
land.
The lease will include the right for Council to terminate the lease should
Council plan or propose to redevelop or rationalise the land giving the Golf
Club twelve (12) months notice.
237
Asset Management:
The Golf Club will be responsible for all matters relating to the land
including maintenance of the land and buildings and any existing or future
improvements on the land. Such obligations will be included in the lease.
Should the Golf Club vacate the land fixed structures such as the
clubrooms would become the property of Council and evaluated at the time
for retention or disposal.
Conclusion:
The agreement between Council and the Golf Club expired in 1993.
Pursuant to Section 200(1) of the Local Government Act 1999 “a person
must not use community land for a business purpose unless the use is
approved by the Council”, therefore another formal agreement needs to be
established between the parties.

REPORT TITLE:
PROPOSED UNDERGROUNDING OF
POWER LINES IN HUTCHINSON STREET,
MOUNT BARKER
FILE NUMBER:
80/080/045
Strategic Plan Ref:
Goal Area 5 Council Leadership
5.7 Attract external funding to support council services and projects
Purpose:
To seek Council authority to enable a section of power lines in Hutchinson
Street, Mount Barker to be placed underground.
Summary – Key Issues:
1. There is an opportunity to ‘piggy back’ on work being undertaken to
upgrade the electrical supply to the Mount Barker Central complex.
2. Undergrounding of a section of power lines in Hutchinson Street with
the removal of three stobie poles would enhance amenity, remove a
restriction on street trees and improve safety for road users and
pedestrians.
3. The undergrounding can be achieved by Council only funding what it
would normally contribute if Power Line Environment Committee
funding was available with a contribution agreed in principle to come
from the owner of the adjacent vacant land parcel, James Herriot
Nominees Pty Ltd.
Recommendation:
That Council:
1. Authorises a Council contribution to the undergrounding of a section
of power lines in Hutchinson Street, Mount Barker as per the
attached letter to Mrs Herriot dated 24 June 2010 subject to the
necessary arrangements with James Herriot Nominees Pty Ltd being
finalised;
2. Authorises the Chief Executive Officer or nominee to finalise the
necessary arrangements with both James Herriot Nominees Pty Ltd
and ETSA Utilities; and
3. Notes that an adjustment to reflect the proposed funding
arrangements for the Council contribution to the undergrounding
project will need to be made to the 2010/11 Council Budget at the
time of the first formal budget review.
240
Background:
Please refer to the attached Council letter to Mrs Herriot dated 24 June
2010.
Discussion:
1. There is a very limited window of opportunity for Council to further
the objective of undergrounding all of the power lines within the
Mount Barker Town Centre.
2. Funds from the Power Line Environment Committee (PLEC) are not
available for the Hutchinson Street project at this time, nor is there
any indication of when such funding could be available.
3. The advantage of this proposed funding mechanism means that
Council may well be better placed to secure PLEC funding in future
for other undergrounding projects within the district, including the
main streets of towns such as Nairne and Meadows.
4. Community benefits if the undergrounding in Hutchinson Street
proceeds are enhanced amenity, removal of a restriction on street
trees and improved safety for road users and pedestrians.
Informing only
Council website.
Policy:
The recommendations are consistent with Council’s practice to seek
external funding to facilitate the undergrounding of power lines.
Budget:
The preliminary estimate of net cost to Council is around $35,000 excluding
GST.
As the contribution relates to ETSA Utilities not Council infrastructure the
cost would be reflected in the operating budget.
As this opportunity has only recently arisen and was unexpected, provision
has not been made in the draft 2010/11 Annual Business Plan/Budget
(please refer separate agenda item).
Advice of acceptance of the proposed funding approach was only received
from Mrs Herriot on 29 June 2010. The agenda item on the 2010/11 Annual
Business Plan/Budget had already been completed and would have
required late changes to be made in several areas if this contribution was to
be included.
241
This was not practical and in any event would have pre empted
consideration of this matter at a Council meeting.
Council’s Senior Finance Officer has advised that the recommended
approach of an adjustment at the first Budget review is preferred.
Statutory/Legal:
Not applicable.
Staff Resource Requirements:
Minimal impact which can be accommodated within existing staffing
capacity.
Environmental:
Improved amenity. A restriction on street trees is removed.
Social:
Improved safety for road users and pedestrians.
Risk Assessment:
Financial risk is to be shared equally with James Herriot Nominees Pty Ltd.
Asset Management:
Not applicable as the infrastructure is the responsibility of ETSA Utilities.
Conclusion:
A desired outcome with demonstrable community benefits can be achieved
now at a similar cost to Council as would apply if grant funds had been
secured for the undergrounding project from the PLEC which is not the
case.

“The 3 Ps”, as they are collectively known have been largely
accepted as the three (3) principal drivers of economic growth.
2.
The NGA provided a platform for Local Government to unite in
developing appropriate strategies to respond locally and regionally to
the challenges for the coming years, with discussions and debate
focusing around the 3 Ps.
3.
The NGA was attended by over 700 Mayors and Councillors (as well
as a significant number of Chief Executive Officers and General
Managers) hearing from a range of speakers from all sides of politics
and various experts in a range of fields relating to the 3 Ps.
4.
The ALGA NGA Program is attached.
Discussion
5.
The 2010 National General Assembly of Local Government (NGA)
and the Australian Council of Local Government (ACLG), held backto-back in Canberra, saw many announcements with all parties
making significant promises for the sector.
6.
Encouragingly, in his address on the first day of the Assembly, the
Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and
Local Government, Anthony Albanese, pointed out that there really
250
should be a 'fourth P' as well when it comes to the federal and local
government - partnership.
7.
Delegates were very pleased to hear his announcement that the
Government was providing $250,000 to ALGA to promote community
awareness of our efforts to achieve change to include local
government in the Constitution.
The following day, a commitment from the Leader of the Greens, Bob
Brown, was also received that one of the first acts of the Greens in
the next Parliament will be to establish a referendum to be held on
the matter. Both Andrew Robb (filling in for Tony Abbott) and the
Leader of the National Party and Shadow Minister for Local
Government, Warren Truss, also gave commitments to support
constitutional change.
8.
Warren Truss also committed to the establishment of a new program
should the Coalition win government, to create a $600 million
program over four years to fund the replacement of decaying and
ageing bridges. Andrew Robb outlined a new direction for local
government funding, indicating that the Coalition, if elected, would
provide all council funding directly and would bypass the states.
9.
At Friday's ACLG meeting, attended by the Mayor, the Prime Minister
announced a further $100 million which will be distributed to all local
councils under the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure
Program. This is more money for bike paths, community facilities and
other important investment at the local level.
The amount available to the District Council of Mount Barker is
$65,000. This will be the subject of a separate Council meeting
agenda item when further information is received from the Federal
Government.
Conclusion
10.
The ALGA NGA provided an excellent opportunity to become
informed of the national issues / actions being undertaken in relation
to “the 3 Ps” and also network with Councils experiencing the same
issues as the District Council of Mount Barker.
11.
A further report will be brought to Council in relation to funding under
the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program.

REPORT TITLE:
2010 LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTIONS
FILE NUMBER:
20/030/011
Purpose
To provide information to the Council and community in relation to the 2010
Local Government Elections.
Background
1.
Councils are part of the democratic framework of Australia. In South
Australia the community elects their Council Members every four (4)
years.
2.
The next elections for all South Australian Councils will be held in
November 2010.
3.
The specific requirements for conduct of the elections are set out in
the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999, which was amended in
2009.
4.
The Returning Officer (the Electoral Commissioner) is responsible for
the conduct of the Local Government elections.
The Returning Officer may, after consultation with the Local
Government Association conducted in such a manner as the
Returning Officer thinks fit, arrange advertising for the purposes of:
informing electors on access to information relating to
candidates;
encouraging voting at elections;
informing electors about postal voting and the method of voting;
and
advising eligible electors of the requirement to apply to be
enrolled on the voters roll.
5.
Councils are responsible for the provision of information, education
and publicity to promote participation in the electoral process, to
inform potential voters about candidates and advise outcomes of the
election.
6.
Key Dates for the 2010 Local Government Elections:
Friday, 13 August 2010: Voters Roll Closes
Tuesday, 7 September 2010: Nominations to stand as a
candidate OPEN
(12noon) Tuesday 21 September 2010: Nominations to stand as

253
Discussion
7.
An internal “Elections Project Team” has been established to
coordinate the 2010 Local Government Elections for the District
Council of Mount Barker.
8.
The Project has been established, to work in consultation with the
Electoral Commissioner and Local Government Association, to
undertake work in relation to:
Voters Roll;
Nominations;
Communications & Promotions;
Induction; and
Project Management.
9.
Current initiatives being developed / progressed by the Project Team
include:
Preparation of the Voters Roll;
Candidate Information Kits;
Candidate Information Sessions; and
Induction Program and Timeframe.
10.
Voters Roll:
Recent amendments to the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999,
removed some of the previous automatic enrolment provisions to the
Voters Roll. Ratepayers who are not on the State Electoral roll and
wish to vote in Council elections now need to apply for inclusion on
the Council voters roll before each periodic election.
This means that all residents not on the State Electoral roll; including
non-Australian citizens, a sole owner who lives outside the area but
owns property in the Council area, a sole occupier who occupies
property in the Council area as a tenant but does not live at that
property, bodies corporate and groups of persons are no longer
automatically included on the Council Voters Roll and instead need
to apply for voting entitlements.
Additionally bodies corporate and groups need to nominate a
designated person who will vote (and/or nominate as a candidate) on
their behalf.
The Act now also specifies that each elector can only vote once for
an Area or Ward election but is entitled to vote in more than one
Ward election if they have rateable property in those Wards.
All affected persons have been written to and provided with the
relevant forms. Forms can also be found on the Council’s website
www.dcmtbarker.sa.gov.au, with further information available from
the Council’s Rates Department on (08) 8391 7200. General
awareness to the community will also be achieved through other
Council communications, such as rate notices and advertisements in
the Courier.
254
11.
Candidate Information Sessions & Kits:
Candidate Information sessions will be held in each of the Wards in
the first week of nominations. Sessions will provide prospective
candidates with information in relation to electoral requirements and
what it means to be a Council Member at the District Council of
Mount Barker.
Candidate Information Kits are also being prepared with relevant
information from the Electoral Commission of South Australia and the
Local Government Association. These Kits will be available at the
Candidate Information Sessions and Customer Service Centre at the
Local Government Centre, at 6 Dutton Road, Mount Barker.
Information will also be placed on the Council’s website.
Location and timing of the Candidate Information Sessions will be
published on the Council’s website and Courier newspaper closer to
the opening of Nominations.
12.
Induction Program and Timeframe:
An Induction Program and Timeframe will be developed and
provided to Council prior to the opening of nominations and the
community. This information will also be made available on the
Council’s website and Candidate Information Sessions and Kits.
Conclusion
13.
This report provides information to Council and the community in
relation to activities being undertaken in relation to the 2010 Local
Government Elections.

FREE ELECTRONIC (E-WASTE)
RECYCLING DAY
FILE NUMBER:
44/080/048
Purpose:
To inform Council of the popularity and results of the E-Waste recycling day
held on Saturday 27th March, and;
To inform Council of a doubling of the grant provided by Zero Waste SA in
recognition of the popularity of the recycling day, from $6,000 to $12,000
each for the District Council of Mount Barker and the Rural City of Murray
Bridge.
Background:
A once off free recycling day for residents to help reduce the amount of preexisting e-waste in the District Council of Mt Barker was conducted on
Saturday 27th March 2010 at Windmill Hill Transfer Station.
Residents were able to dispose of televisions; monitors; desktops; laptops;
printers; photocopiers; keyboards, mouse etc; scanners; fax’s; mobile &
landline phones; projectors; electronic games; CD’s, DVD’s and tapes;
cameras; DVD & video players; speakers and sound equipment.
Discussion:
1.
The Council E-waste recycling day conducted on Saturday 27th
March far exceeded expectations. The service was well received by
residents with
618 Televisions
542 Computer monitors
408 Computer towers
being dropped off on the day.
2.
E-waste was transported by All Bulk Waste to E-Cycle Recovery at a
cost of $4,477.25 + GST.. E-Cycle Recovery then disassembled and
recycled the electronic equipment in an environmentally responsible
manner, eliminating waste to landfill. E-Cycle Recovery reported
receiving 36,070 kg of material which was processed @ $0.70 per kg
($25,249 + GST).
Total transport and processing costs
All Bulk Waste
E-Cycle Recovery
Less original + additional grant funding
Total Cost to Council
$ 4,477.25 + GST
$25,249.00 + GST
- $12,000.00 + GST
$ 17,726.25 + GST
3.
Zero Waste SA (ZWSA) have acknowledged that householders have
responded positively to council e-waste collections with high
participation rates and large quantities collected. ZWSA is aware
that in many instances the total amount of e-waste collected
exceeded the tonnage originally estimated and that some Councils
are now faced with meeting the additional disposal costs well above
the amount granted by ZWSA.
4.
ZWSA has increased the financial support for this financial year, and
will match the original grant for all recipient councils that have
already conducted or have scheduled an e-waste collection in
2009/10. This effectively doubles the original grant amount from
$12,000 to $24,000. for the joint application between District Council
of Mount Barker and Rural City of Murray Bridge. The additional
grant funds will be used to off-set costs associated with the e-waste
collection day. :
5.
An amended grant agreement together with a interim report has been
forwarded to ZWSA to obtain the grant funds by the end of the
2009/10 financial year.
6.
ZWSA will be collating data received by all participating Councils of
the free E-Waste recycling days and a further report based on the
ZWSA findings will be presented to Council with recommendations
for the future of E-Waste recycling within the District Council of
Mount Barker.
