Purpose

To seek Council's endorsement of further funding from Housing NSW and Uniting Care Burnside to sustain and expand the Mobile Toy and Book Library (MTBL) service.

History

In 2006, The Benevolent Society extended its existing partnership with Council, to run a fully funded MTBL service for the Ambarvale and Rosemeadow communities until March 2009. Following the success of the program, Council submitted several funding proposals to interested government and non-government agencies for funds to enable sustainability of the MTBL service beyond March 2009. Housing NSW provided $24,000 and Uniting Care Burnside $4,500 over a two year period which expired on 30 June 2011. The Benevolent Society extended its funding under the Family Support Program for $24,000 per year until the end of June 2012. Council has also received $47,044 renewable funding for the period 2011-2012 from the NSW Department of Family and Community Services towards the cost of operating the MTBL in Airds, Claymore, Minto and Macquarie Fields. The MTBL service has been successful in linking into existing programs operating within the Campbelltown Local Government Area and has continued to build on partnerships with The Benevolent Society, Housing NSW, Uniting Care Burnside and other non-government agencies.

Report

Council submitted three funding proposals to Housing NSW to enable the sustainability of the Mobile Toy and Book Library at existing groups in the areas of Airds, Claymore and Macquarie Fields beyond June 2011.


Housing NSW has offered funding of $20,000 over a two-year period from 2011/2013 from the following projects: • Airds Bradbury Renewal Project $4,000 • Claymore Building Stronger Communities Project $8,000. • Macquarie Fields Building Stronger Communities Project $8,000 These funds would allow the MTBL to sustain current levels of service provision to Claymore and Macquarie Fields and increase the level of service currently offered in Airds. Access would remain targeted at families who are vulnerable and do not currently access child care and/or other community services, who have limited transport and/or who are socially and/or economically disadvantaged. Uniting Care Burnside has also offered a further $2,500 funding for a period of one year for 2011/2012 to sustain the MTBL visits to the supported playgroup operating out of the Ingleburn Uniting Church. The funding would enable Council's MTBL Early Childhood Worker to consolidate networks with partnering agencies within the broader Local Government Area and reinforce the links for families and the services that are available to them. Council would be required to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with Housing NSW which ensures the Department's funding in return for Council's in-kind support.

Officer's Recommendation

1. That Council accept the $20,000 from Housing NSW over two years, for 2011/2013, to enable the Mobile Toy and Book Library to sustain and expand the service to Housing NSW estates in Airds, Claymore and Macquarie Fields.

2. That Council accept the $2,500 from Uniting Care Burnside over one year, for 2011/2012,

to sustain Mobile Toy and Book Library visits to the supported playgroup operating out of the Uniting Church, Ingleburn.

Committee’s Recommendation: (Kolkman/Thompson) That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted. CARRIED Council Meeting 26 July 2011 (Oates/Glynn) That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted. Council Resolution Minute Number 143 That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted.

CDSE is administered through a Campbelltown Local Committee made up of representatives from local Clubs, Council, NSW Department of Family and Community Services and Sector Connect. The CDSE Committee makes recommendations to the Clubs who make the final funding decision.

Report

Local priorities were determined by the Local Committee, drawing on the knowledge of the community sector representatives and Council’s Social Plan. Information sessions were held on 5 April at 4pm and 6pm at Campbelltown Catholic Club with a representative from the local clubs, Sector Connect and Council staff present. A total of $42,103 was allocated to projects in the Campbelltown Local Government Area.

NAIDOC Week provides an opportunity each year to celebrate the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and recognise the contributions of Indigenous Australians in the community. This year the 2011 National NAIDOC theme is ‘Change: The next step is ours' which symbolises taking responsibility for the future, and to control the changes needed to plan and take action to make it happen. An official Flag Raising Ceremony, speeches and performances were held in front of Council's administration building to launch this year's NAIDOC Week celebrations on Monday 4 July 2011. The event was well attended by 200 members of the Aboriginal and wider community and was followed by a Street March to Koshigaya Park for the Family Fun and Cultural Day. The Family Fun and Cultural Day was held from 10.30am - 4.00pm on Monday 4 July at Koshigaya Park. The event included entertainment from local and Aboriginal performers, amusement rides, information stalls and community activities. Over 34 organisations provided information on their services and programs on the day. Approximately 1200 people attended the event across the day. Sixteen teams participated in the NAIDOC Week Touch Football Competition at Sarah Redfern Oval on Wednesday 6 July.

Purpose

To advise Council of the arts and cultural activities being programmed by Campbelltown Arts Centre through shop fronts within Minto Mall and delivered through the Centre’s Live Art 2011 program.

History

Council at the meeting of 14 December 2010, Community Services Committee Item 3.1 - Australia Council for the Arts - Interarts Funding Submission supported the Art Centre's application for $50,000 towards the 2011 SITELab program - a series of collaborative performance works in partnership with communities in Minto. Council was successful in securing $49,500 funding from Australia Council for the Arts for the program. Live ART 2011 will see the continuation of the successful SITELab 2010 creative residency and Minto Live program that focused on the development of new work that encouraged audience participation and interaction particularly through live performance, multidisciplinary arts practices and the use of new technologies. As part of the development for SITELab 2010, the old Post Office within Minto Mall was identified as an ideal space to directly connect with the community. As the programs progressed, additional disused shops were identified to be used, at no cost, for further arts programs delivered by the Arts Centre in 2011.

Report

From July to November 2011 up to 10 shopfronts will be used for a number of free creative arts residencies and community engagement programs. These include: Perry Keyes, Johnny Barker and Alicia Talbot Creative Development For two weeks in August artists Perry Keyes, Johnny Barker and Alicia Talbot will be based at the Old Post Office Shopfront to research and develop a new performance work. Perry Keyes is a singer/songwriter who has strong family connections to Minto.

Jenny Shiller Art Exhibition Jenny Shiller is an emerging Aboriginal artist living in Minto. The Old Post Office Shopfront will display a selection of her paintings during September – October. Samuel Jones This multi-arts based residency program has been scheduled for 10-28 October 2011 and will use up to ten shopfronts within the Mall and invite eleven artists to participate. One of the selected artists, Samuel James, has already commenced preparatory work for his project and will be working from the Old Post Office during July. The artist is currently collecting stories from local residents and shopkeepers to produce five short films. Five shopfronts have been negotiated for the artist to use during the production of these films. It is proposed that these short films will be projected on the side of selected Minto houses and within the Old Post Office shopfront during SITELab. Live Art 2011 has been integrated into the overall Minto Arts Program that is aimed at developing and implementing arts programs that make a strong contribution to developing cohesive communities in Minto. The Minto Arts Program also forms an important part of the broader One Minto Plan. No further funding of this program would be required by Council.

Purpose

To advise Council of the signing of the 2011-2015 Parliament of New South Wales Aboriginal Art Prize Memorandum of Understanding.

History

The Parliament of New South Wales Art Prize was established in 2005 as a project partnership between the Parliament of NSW and Campbelltown City Council. The acquisitive Prize of $20,000 was created to support the development of NSW Aboriginal artists and the recognition of their work. This original agreement was supported by the NSW Government through Arts NSW and The University of New South Wales through the College of Fine Arts (COFA).

Report

The expiration of the original five year Memorandum of Understanding presented an opportunity to expand the scope of the Prize. An additional partner was secured in Coal & Allied to increase the prize money to $40,000. In addition to the main prize, the contribution from The University of New South Wales has been increased to over $120,000 in scholarships, to be offered through the COFA that support Aboriginal visual artists to undertake tertiary study. The program will provide for two scholarships (one undergraduate and one graduate), $30,000 which will be paid directly as a stipend to each student to assist with their cost of living during their full time study and ensure that they are able to complete their degree. Now in its 7th year, the Prize has become a highly anticipated event and is currently the richest Aboriginal art prize package on offer in Australia. The redeveloped Prize now presents further opportunities for NSW Aboriginal artists to develop their skills and raise their profile within the community.

5.1 Proposed Variation to the Library Services' Copying and Printing Charges

Purpose

To seek Council's endorsement to proposed changes to the Library Services' copying and printing charges.

Report

Council's Library Services has provided a photocopying and printing service at all branch libraries for many years. Currently the Library charges 20 cents for an A4 copy/print and 40 cents for an A3 copy/print. Recent feedback from library customers and subsequent benchmarking with other local suppliers of photocopying services has indicated that the charges levied for black and white photocopies in Council's libraries is considerably higher than that charged by other providers. The relatively high prices for copying and printing are thought to be a contributing factor in the downturn in use of printing and photocopying facilities across the Library Service in recent years. Benchmarking indicates that other local providers of photocopying services charge between 7 and 10 cents for A4 black and white copy/print and between 15 and 20 cents for A3 black and white copy/print. To provide better value for Library customers it is recommended that the cost of black and white prints and copying be reduced to 10 cents per A4 copy/print and 20 cents per A3 copy/print. It is anticipated that the change in price will increase use of the service across all libraries. Colour printing costs were modified in the current fees and charges and are consistent with prices charged by other providers and do not require adjustment.

Community Services Committee Meeting 19 July 2011 5.1 Proposed Variation To The Library Services' Copying And Printing Charges


1. That Council endorse the proposed change in the fee for black and white photocopy/printing to 10 cents per A4 copy/print and 20 cents per A3 copy/print.

2. That the amended fees be placed on public exhibition for a period no less than 28 days in

accordance with Section 610F of the Local Government Act, 1993. Committee’s Recommendation: (Glynn/Thompson) That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted. CARRIED Council Meeting 26 July 2011 (Oates/Glynn) That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted. Council Resolution Minute Number 143 That the Officer's Recommendation be adopted.

increased number of school groups attending the Centre. There was also an increased number of attendances during the Open Days even thought a quarter of the Open Days were affected by wet weather.

New Work Old Tricks 30 April – 1 August New Work Old Tricks presents a selection of new work commissions from across Campbelltown Arts Centre’s multidisciplinary artistic program. With a focus on works that have occurred offsite, on residency and as initiatives of education and public programs, the exhibition is timely in presenting and reflecting upon the outcomes of these commissions. The launch of New Work Old Tricks presented the performance of Kathy Cogill and Latai Taumoepeau. Cogill and Taumoepeau performed short skits in which the artists dress up, impose, mask and decorate their bodies to consider façades, their perception, deception and what lies beneath the surface of meanings. Their performance stretches and redefines outward actions of difference, playing with symbols of identity politics in Australia to explore the complexity at play in an individual’s cultural identity. Edge of Elsewhere 2012 – Community Engagement Projects Campbelltown Arts Centre and 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art.
