MAYOR’S REPORT

I am pleased to present this year’s annual report, which provides a snapshot of the key milestones and achievements for 2009-10.

This year has seen many changes and challenges for the City of Subiaco, and indeed the local government sector as a whole. Major events affecting local governments across Perth include the state government’s renewed focus on local government structural reform and the major storm event in March 2010. The below provides more detail on these, as well as other major initiatives the council has undertaken in 2009-10.

Local government reform

This year, the state government put local government reform back on the agenda. Amalgamation of local governments in the western suburbs has been the subject of debate for more than fi fty years. At its meeting on 29 June 2010, council resolved to enter into a regional transition group with the City of Nedlands. As a fi rst step in this process, the city will explore the feasibility of the proposal through development of a business plan.

The feasibility study will better equip the city to evaluate whether a merger is right for our community. The state government is funding the development of the business plan and other structural reform initiatives. The results of the business plan are expected to be available in early 2011.

Engaging our community

One of the fi ve key goals outlined in the city’s new Strategic Management Plan is engaging and connecting our community. In support of this goal, the city has commenced work on developing a new community engagement strategy. Community engagement underpins the process of community planning. It is a bottom up approach, harnessing the community’s knowledge and skills. Through the strategy, the city aims to develop a more participative approach to its decision-making processes. The city is also looking at embarking on a community visioning process to develop a community plan and a vision for the city’s future.

Climate change mitigation and adaptation

The city together with the Western Suburbs Regional Organisation of Councils commenced a climate change risk assessment in February 2010. The importance of this project was highlighted by the impact of the March 2010 storm. The assessment identifi ed the potential future impacts of climate change in the region. By identifying the impacts, the city has now developed an action plan to lessen the damage of extreme weather events.

Men’s shed

In 2009-10 the city sponsored and opened the fi rst inner-city council run men’s shed in Australia, which is located in the grounds of the Tom Dadour Community Centre. The shed provides a wonderful opportunity for men from all backgrounds to come together in their own space to talk, share skills, swap ideas, solve problems or just discuss life in general. The city’s men’s shed is part of the Australian Men’s Shed Association and was made possible by a Department of Health Home and Community Care grant.

Finally, I would like to thank my fellow councillors, the CEO and city staff for their tireless efforts in guiding the city through this busy twelve-month period. The successes detailed in this report are testament to their hard work and commitment to our community.

CEO’S REPORT

The city’s successful 2010 LGMA Management Challenge team

The 2009-10 financial year represented a period of consolidation and cultural change for staff at the City of Subiaco. The first year of operation of Lords recreation centre was a notable success and bears testimony to the ability of city staff to take on new challenges.

I again express my admiration, respect and deep appreciation for our directors, managers and staff who continue to rise to the occasion by committing to necessary change and putting the council, and the community it serves, first.

In this report, I provide examples of how the organisation is implementing several elements of best practice right across the city.

Strategic planning

Earlier this year council reaffirmed the need for a comprehensive community visioning process, which will underpin the development of its strategic plan. To this end, the Think2030 community visioning project will be launched in October 2010. In addition to supporting the city’s strategic plan, the results of the consultation will have a significant influence on policy development and council decisions over the longer term.

Structure

During the year, appointments were made to three new positions – director of land and property, coordinator of community engagement and asset management officer. A new position of public arts officer was also created. The city’s communications team is linked directly with the CEO and the management structure at Lords recreation centre has been reorganised. These changes reflect a stronger commitment to the management of the city’s assets and improved communication with the city’s residents and ratepayers.

Process improvement

In the interests of improved transparency and accountability,

decisions of the council being made behind closed doors are

now made public at the soonest opportunity.

In response to the hail storm in early 2010, local emergency

recovery arrangements are being reviewed and a disaster

recovery centre is being established at the Palms

Community Centre.

Measurement and control systems

The city implemented a range of new measurement and

control systems including a fleet sustainability matrix for its

fleet of vehicles, which determines vehicle purchases based on

their overall economy, safety, greenhouse gas and particulate

emissions. The city also introduced programmed work schedules

for all technical services field staff to improve efficiencies.

Change leadership

With funding from the state government, the City of Subiaco

has joined with the City of Nedlands to undertake a feasibility

study into a possible merger of the two local governments.

The results of the study will place the City of Subiaco in a

strong position to critically examine the pros and cons of

structural reform.

Employee empowerment

The city is actively developing its staff for promotion in

the face of impending labour shortages. Professional

development initiatives included entering a city team in the

Local Government Managers Australia’s 2010 Management

Challenge. The team, including staff from various branches

across the city, was the Australasian runner-up in the challenge.

In addition, the manager of community services completed the

2010 Leadership WA Program.

The city also created a number of cross-organisational teams

to report on customer service improvements and work/life

balance initiatives.

I trust that the above provides a clear snapshot of where the

City of Subiaco has come from and where it is headed. I look

forward to another successful twelve months of working closely

with council and staff to ensure we are continually improving

our range of services, facilities and amenities for the benefit of

our community.

Library programs and initiatives

To meet the growing demand for fl exible online service delivery, the city introduced a range of new online services at Subiaco Library in 2009-10. The city provided subscriptions to audio e-books accessible from home or work, as well as introducing a free wireless Internet service available at the library and outside the Subiaco Museum. The online tutoring service, yourtutor, was launched in September 2009 to provide students with live, one-to-one tutoring sessions. New online databases were added to the existing suite, including Ancestry: Library Edition and Popular magazines.

In order to promote community wellbeing and provide positive opportunities for continuous learning, the city held a range of events and programs at the Subiaco Library throughout the year. These included hosting a variety of professional writers and artists for the popular writers’ nights, artists’ evenings, as well as guest speakers on a range of topics for the lunchtime talk series. Over the year, the library also provided basic computer classes, Write your life writing course, poetry workshops, short story writing classes for teenagers, book club, philosophy club and art appreciation / history courses.

The city also coordinated a range of reading and literacy programs for children and young people, including baby rhyme time, story time, Sue Bee’s Reading Hive, National Simultaneous Story Time, summer holiday reading program and Children’s Book Week.

Celebrating our heritage

In December 2009 the city opened Subiaco into the sixties, a new exhibition at the Subiaco Museum offering a glimpse of the changes that took place all over Australia in the 1950s and 1960s and how these were refl ected in Subiaco. The city also presented reminiscence sessions for seniors, and workshops on archaeology, preventive conservation of heritage collections, and memoir and history writing.

fostering safe communities

The city undertakes a number of activities to ensure the safety, health and wellbeing of community members is maintained. The city held a range of information sessions and workshops to contribute towards community safety, including leavers’ information, women’s basic self defence, child resuscitation, bullying prevention and party safe information for parents.

The city was one of twelve local governments invited to participate in the Alcohol Management Program, a pilot project initiated by the Western Australian Local Government Association. The project supported local governments to address alcohol-related issues more effectively within their communities. As a response the city is developing a Community Safety and Crime Prevention Plan that will incorporate strategies addressing alcohol management.

The city convenes the licensed premises working group, a forum of key stakeholders, including local police, city staff and businesses that operate licensed premises. The aim of the group is to discuss issues relating to alcohol and to identify and mitigate alcohol-related impacts in the community. City staff meet with police every week to share information and foster the city’s contribution to the Eyes on the street program.

Arts and cultural programs

The city hosted a range of popular arts and cultural events in 2009-10 including the sunday@subi and sunset@subi concert series. Together the concerts provided twenty-four weeks of community entertainment, with over 13 000 community members attending.

The city continued to coordinate its popular range of award programs including the Local History Awards, Tim Winton Award for Young Writers, Shaun Tan Award for Young Artists and Photographic Awards. The Photographic Awards attracted a record 225 entries from people across the metropolitan area, demonstrating a wide range of photographic talents. The Tim Winton Award for Young Writers also saw its highest number of entries in 2009-10 with 1663 stories submitted by young people across Perth.

Volunteering in our community

A high level of volunteering is an indication of a strong and active community. Volunteers are vital in supporting the range of activities undertaken by not-for-profit organisations within the community. Recognising the importance of volunteers, the city opened a volunteer referral hub in November 2009. The volunteer hub is open twice a week at the Subiaco Library and supports and engages both potential volunteers and community organisations seeking volunteers. Local organisations, groups and clubs can list their volunteer positions on the searchable database allowing members of the public to search and find a

position that is just right for them. The volunteer hub placed over eighty volunteers into positions within the community in 2009-10. The city would also like to recognise the tireless efforts of its 146 volunteers who give their time to assist in the delivery of a range of city services.

Positive ageing and community care

Throughout 2009-10 the city provided in-home services to over 300 local residents, including the delivery of meals, domestic assistance and personal care. The city also operated a dedicated adult day centre at the Tom Dadour Community Centre providing almost 8000 hours of activity-based care to the frail aged and adults with disabilities. Each Tuesday, the centre ran ongoing seniors’ learning programs covering topics such as armchair travel, story writing, tai chi and jewellery making.

The city also developed and implemented a number of new seniors programs including a physiotherapy program for the frail aged at Lords and an intergenerational playgroup. The playgroup was a new initiative for seniors and families with young children, to enhance relationships and communication between the generations.

The inaugural Ageing Well Expo was held in October 2009 at the Subiaco Community Centre, with stalls from a range of organisations such as the Asthma Foundation of WA, the Alzheimer’s Association and the Heart Foundation.

Lords’ fi rst birthday celebration

Programs for children and young people

In March 2010, the city together with over 200 community members, celebrated the opening of the new Mueller Park universal play space. The play space is designed to provide children of all ages and abilities with exciting play opportunities. It is located inside a fenced area for added safety and includes a variety of sensory play options, sand play and trails.

Throughout the year over 600 children participated in a wide range of school holiday programs offered by the city, from yoga to skate clinics. A number of parenting workshops were also introduced to support parents in the community in their role as caregiver. A new quarterly booklet called Subi Alive was developed to provide a one-stop-shop for information on the range of city programs and services for children, families and young people.

The city partnered with other western suburbs councils to organise a Youth Digital Arts Festival to celebrate National Youth Week. The festival included photography workshops, a four day fi lm course, a youth photography competition and a free youth fi lm screening of Bran Nue Dae.

The musical talent of local young people was recognised and encouraged through the coordination of Amped, a youth music event. The city also collaborated with the towns of Mosman Park and Claremont and the West Australian Music Industry Association to deliver AmpFest, an original youth music competition with over 700 young people participating.

Sport and recreation in our community

The city offers a range of quality active and passive recreation spaces for use by the whole community, including parks, playing fi elds, cycle paths, walking trails and sporting facilities. In addition, community-based recreation opportunities were offered through the city’s walking groups and the Subiaco Work Out Program, including classes in aquarobics, meditation, spin, BODY PUMP®, walking, pilates and salsa.

On 4 July 2009 the city reopened Lords recreation centre as a local government owned and operated community recreation facility. Membership reached 2000 members in less than twelve months, exceeding all projections. Customer satisfaction survey results saw Lords receive an overall facility satisfaction rating of 88 per cent and a customer service satisfaction rating of 93 per cent.

The successful reopening of Lords has provided opportunities to deliver community-focused events and activities, including the inaugural Subiaco Community Walk, para-soccer, grand fi nal day events, school holiday activities and pool pregnancy classes, to name a few.

Lords also underwent a facelift with highly renowned and established artists Helen Smith and Jeremy Kirwan-Ward completing a spectacular design for the Hay Street facing entrance. The striking abstract design adds another dimension to the city’s public art portfolio, and the colours were chosen to produce a bright, easily visible entrance, giving the industrial ‘shed’ a more contemporary look and feel.

Supporting community organisations

The city recognises the important contribution that community organisations make to the community. In support of their contribution, the city developed a number of programs to assist community organisations with their work. The city introduced a range of organisational professional development opportunities in 2009-10, including networking forums, educational sessions and one-on-one consultancy support. In addition, a sporting club development program has commenced to facilitate the growth of well-managed and governed sporting clubs.

During 2009-10 the city developed new partnerships with the Subi Farmers Markets, Perth Upmarket, the Shenton Park Dogs’ Refuge and Opera Baroque, while also continuing successful partnerships with Perth International Arts Festival and the Rotary Club of Matilda Bay. The city continued its support of the Subi Street Festival in 2009 providing $25 000 plus in-house city resources for the event, which attracted over 28 000 community members.

Amenity and traffic management improvements

The city has an extensive road rehabilitation program to maintain appropriate community amenity throughout the city. In 2009-10 the program included works at Thomas Street, Court Place and Subiaco Road. Work has been completed on creating

additional bays in the Rowland Street car park to increase the amount of parking available in the CBD area. As part of the staged redevelopment of Rosalie Park, the city completed upgrades to the access road and parking facilities. New lighting at a cost of $0.5 million was also installed on the playing fields to enhance usability.

The city implements a range of traffic management improvements to increase pedestrian and driver safety and amenity. The city successfully obtained state and federal government Black Spot funding for Bagot, Barker, Churchill and Princess roads. Black Spots are locations and sections of roads identified by safety audits as having a significant risk.

The Black Spot project at Churchill and Coghlan roads included the installation of a roundabout and high efficiency LED lighting to improve safety, visibility and traffic movement. Traffic calming measures were implemented at Bagot and Barker roads, to reduce the approach speeds at the intersections with Townshend Road, while the Princess Road project included installation of a roundabout at the intersection with Fairway to improve traffic flow.

A healthy and sustainable environment

An innovative city that demonstrates leadership and adaptive management to ensure the health and sustainability of its built and natural environment

Water conservation

As part of its involvement in the ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability, the city achieved Milestone 4 of the Water Campaign for community and corporate water quality and conservation. The city installed waterless urinals and water effi cient showerheads and taps in high water-consuming buildings and facilities. To encourage the community to reduce water use, the city offered a range of programs including

household assessments, workshops and subsidies. The city was also endorsed as a Waterwise Council by the Department of Water and the Water Corporation.

Through the fi nalisation of a groundwater operating strategy, the city implemented a range of water effi cient irrigation initiatives, including a reduction in irrigation frequency from three to two days a week over the 2009-10 summer period. The city also upgraded the effi ciency of irrigation systems and replaced areas of lawn with mulch and native vegetation. Stage three reticulation upgrade works were completed this year at Rosalie Park ensuring all sections of the active playing surface are irrigated uniformly. This decreased water use and provided a more consistent playing surface.

Complementing the federal Green Loans Program, the city partnered with local assessors offering a rebate of $100 per household to reduce water and energy use. In addition, the city purchased 100 per cent natural power for over 1000 energy effi cient decorative streetlights. This reduced the city’s annual greenhouse gas emissions by 18 per cent, saving 440 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Cliff Sadlier Park community planting event

Environmental education

A number of community education programs were undertaken throughout 2009-10, including a home retrofi tting workshop, Clean Up Australia Day activities and a great gardens workshop. Community members and school students planted approximately 3500 native species for National Tree Day and Schools Tree Day. Residents also contributed to greening the city by replacing lawn on their verge with over 1500 species of native plants as part of the city’s native plant subsidy scheme.

The city introduced the Sustainable Verge and Garden Award in 2009 to recognise streetscapes and private gardens that contribute to sustainable living, biodiversity and water conservation. The new annual award is designed to recognise the community’s contribution to sustainability and greening our community.

Promoting sustainable transport

As part of our commitment to encourage the use of sustainable transport options, the city ran the popular Bike to work breakfast, Cycle to school day and Walk to school day as well as two new programs – the active shopper and active commuter challenges. The challenges required participants to cycle or walk to the shops or work a minimum number of times per week over a twelve-week period. The challenges provided an excellent opportunity for participants to get out of their cars and onto the footpaths or their bikes. Apart from the personal benefits for participants by incorporating exercise into their daily routine, the program also contributed to a more sustainable Subiaco.

The city was pleased to work with Rosalie Primary School students on sustainable transport issues as part of the TravelSmart to School program. Students presented the city with a TravelSmart action plan following a Sustainability Leadership Workshop held in April 2010. The workshop brought together students, teachers and parents from across Perth to discuss their ideas about transport around schools. The city will now assist Rosalie Primary School to implement their action plan.

Land and property management

During 2009-10 the city introduced a new directorate – land and property – to its organisational structure. The directorate established strategies and plans to optimise the city’s land and property to better meet the needs of a diverse and expanding community. The review of the city’s investment portfolio and audit of the social and community property assets has underpinned this process.

Statutory compliancePromoting access and inclusion

The city’s commitment to ensuring access and inclusion for all

community members continued through actioning its Disability

Access and Inclusion Plan. The city successfully completed an

audit of health and medical facilities for the Access WA website

through funding from the Disability Services Commission. In

addition, a range of programs and events were undertaken

throughout the year to ensure that the city effectively engages

with people with disabilities in our community.

Plan for the future

The city undertook a review of its Strategic Financial Plan in

2010. The plan provides the financial framework for achieving

the city’s goals. Along with carrying out a range of core

operational and infrastructure activities, it includes investment in

major capital works projects such as undergrounding power and

a CBD streetscape improvement project. It also provides for a

range of social capital projects such as community development

programs, sustainability initiatives and recreational facilities.

Records Keeping Plan

The city’s Records Keeping Plan maintains a focused approach

for staff to capture accurate records in accordance with the

State Records Act 2000. Records awareness training for

new staff members is included as part of the city’s induction

program providing new employees with up-to-date information

on record keeping obligations and responsibilities. The

2009 City of Subiaco Record Keeping Plan is fully compliant

and approved by the State Records Office, forming part

of an information and records management strategy that

encompasses all the information created or received by the city

as evidence of its business activities.

Register of complaints

For the purposes of the Local Government Act 1995, no complaints were made to the city during 2009-10.

Employees’ salary

The number of employees entitled to an annual cash salary of $100 000 or more were six in the following categories:

$110 000 to $119 999 Two$120 000 to $129 999 Two$130 000 to $139 999 One$160 000 to $169 999 One

Competition policy

The city has met its obligations with regard to its competition

policy. The city has no local laws or policies that contain anti-

competitive provisions. No complaints have been received by

the city in 2009-10 in relation to anti-competitive practices.
