Subject Heading: Maranoa Regional Council's Attendance at the Surat Basin Energy & Mining Expo 19-20 June 2013 |
|
Author and Officer’s Title: Ryan Gittins, Coordinator - Economic Development |
|
Executive Summary: Ed Sims & Ryan Gittins represented the Maranoa Regional Council (MRC) together with Councillors Wasson & Price at the 2013 Surat Basin Energy & Mining Expo, held in Toowoomba on 19 – 20 June.
This was the third annual event is an opportunity for local governments and regional business and Industry to publicise the business opportunities of the Surat Basin.
MRC benefits from utilising this expo as a brand awareness activity, to educate the public about the Maranoa region and the major projects that are being undertaken here. Many expo visitors were not aware of the Maranoa, and the fact that resource activities extend beyond the Western Downs Local Government Area.
The conversations that occurred at the expo helped to inform hundreds of attendees, many of whom were potential investors. The expo is also a magnet for job seekers, and although the activity is not encouraged by the event organiser, it also attracts those who have products and services to sell to the delegates.
At a total annual investment of between $7K to $10K, the author wishes to inform the Council of the benefits of continuing to support this event and seeks Council’s endorsement for attendance at the 2014 Surat Basin Energy & Mining Expo. |
|
|
|
Moved Cr Denton Seconded Cr Newman That Council: A) Endorse the post-event review contained within this report; B) Approve attendance at the 2014 Surat Basin Energy and Mining Expo.

|

Subject Heading: Review of Community Coordinators' Roles & Local Community Service Delivery Models |
|
Author and Officer’s Title: Julie Reitano, Chief Executive Officer |
|
Executive Summary: In recent months, Council has considered a number of aspects of Community Development – including what the role entails, Community Capacity Building, the position’s names and numbers. It was noted during those discussions that for months at a time, the region has been serviced with one position vacant at various locations, with the work covered by the remaining 4 Coordinators. The results of the discussions, both formal and informal, have been incorporated into the Organisational Structure reflecting 4 Coordinators in the future. Whilst work has been done internally as to how this might work on a permanent basis, communication hasn’t yet occurred with all of the communities, and no changes have yet been rolled out. A number of Councillors have also expressed some concerns that not all issues have been adequately considered as yet.
During a recent Council workshop, during detailed review of the draft Work Programs, Councillors deliberated at length on a range of issues affecting the smaller communities including but not limited to: - Tourism - Libraries - Galleries & Museums - Community Development / Coordination - Youth
The observation was made that each of the communities’ needs are quite different, and the question was posed that perhaps a ‘one size fits all’ approach is not meeting all needs. Further that perhaps a more holistic/multi-dimensional consideration of all issues might be valuable at this juncture. The matter has subsequently been discussed with the Executive Management Team, and the further observation made that there has not ever been consideration of what services are needed in the smaller communities and how best to provide them.
The timing to consider these issues is ideal as: - The library consultation process has recently been undertaken and feedback has been received. - The CEO has been requested to meet with the Cobb & Co Museum Committee in relation to the future directions for the museum. - One of the Community Coordinators is moving out of the region, so it is already recognised that some change will occur as a matter of course. - Council has recently given budget approval for a Coordinator – Tourism, and this will provide a wonderful opportunity to consider how each of the local tourism units can leverage off each through complementing, regional coordination.
Given that there are a number of changes under consideration, it is timely to revisit the issues prior to any changes being implemented (be it libraries or community development/coordination or tourism). This also provides a unique opportunity for meaningful community engagement within the context of each community – rather than consultation on individual issues.
|
|
|
|
Moved Cr Newman Seconded Cr Flynn That:
1. As has occurred with other towns, the upcoming vacant role in Community Development (Community Coordination) be serviced by the 4 remaining Community Coordinators, until such time as Council can consider the local issues from a holistic community perspective;
2. The community (through Councillors) and staff (through the Chief Executive Officer) be engaged in relation to local community needs, and how best to shape Council’s resourcing by town.

Subject Heading: Proposed Lease for Carpark - Land Adjacent to Roma Ambulance Service Location: Lot 2 on RP 64336, 81 Arthur Street, Roma |
|
Author and Officer’s Title: Michael Parker, Director - Infrastructure Services (Acting) |
|
Executive Summary: Council has previously considered this matter at its General Meeting held on 12 June, 2013. The Council meeting resolution sought an amendment to the lease offer received from the Qld Ambulance Service (QAS) by the following:- (a) Removal of the condition – Early termination by the Licensor with 12 months’ written notice of termination, and (b) The condition relating to the “term” be amended to state – three (3) years with one option for renewal for a further two years.
This response was provided to the QAS by way of a letter dated 17 June, 2013.
A reply is now to hand. QAS have advised of their agreement to the term amendment, but wish to retain the early termination clause. The reason given is that they wish to be flexible in order to provide continued service to the community, and as such if an upgrade of the premises is required, use of the termination clause may be needed. |
|
|
|
Moved Cr Schefe Seconded Cr Newman That Council accept the inclusion of the termination clause in the proposed lease agreement.

39. No nuisance is to be caused to adjoining properties and occupiers by the way of noise, odour, smoke, dust, vibration, rubbish, contaminants, stormwater discharge or siltation at any time.
40. The Temporary Workforce Accommodation is limited to an operating time of 10 years from the commencement of the use if further Stages are not constructed within 12 months of commencement of Stage 4. Alternatively, the approved use is limited to an operating time of 10 years from the commencement of the use after Stage 5 has been constructed. The site must be returned to its original state with all buildings removed from the site within 3 months.
Protection of Santos Petroleum Pipeline
41. The Activity must not hinder Santos GLNG’s ability to operate and maintain the Pipeline in compliance with Australian Standard AS2885. All future activities and design which impact upon the Pipeline, associated facilities and/or registered easement are subject to assessment under a separate application.
42. Santos GLNG anticipates increased traffic as a result of the activity through both long-term requirements and near-term access requirements for construction.
43. The depth and alignment of the Pipeline will need to be confirmed under the supervision of a Santos GLNG representative to ensure the Pipeline is adequately protected under the existing track to accommodate the increased vehicle movement generated by the development. A pipeline survey is to be included within final designs unless otherwise advised in writing by Santos GLNG. Additional cover or protective measures may need to be added, subject to assessment by Santos GLNG.
44. Vehicular crossings (roads/driveways) are to be generally aligned ‘perpendicular’ to the alignment of the pipeline and easement. Where vehicular access is intended parallel to a pipeline it shall be maintained wholly outside of the easement and no closer than 1.5x the depth of the pipeline.
45. As indicated on the attached marked-up copy of drawing 17085_39 (revA), the existing site access tracks fall outside of these requirements and Santos GLNG advises that improvements to the site access should include realignment of the track, and the final design of the crossing subject to adequate protection of the Pipeline.
46. The illustrated fence-line should be realigned perpendicular to the Pipeline easement with posts spanned equidistance either side of the Pipeline alignment.
47. All site works (including excavation) on or within 15 metres of the Pipeline requires the notification of Santos GLNG and may require supervision by a Santos GLNG representative.
48. No pit, well, foundation, pavement or other structure of any kind will be permitted over or in the vicinity of the Pipeline, or within or encroaching upon the easement.
49. Details of buried services crossing or adjacent to the Pipeline or easement are to be submitted for written approval by Santos GLNG.
50. Pipeline markers (signage), above-ground markers (AGMs) and cathodic-protection (CP) test points shall not be removed without the prior written authority of Santos GLNG.
51. Excavation work around the Pipeline is to be carried out under the explicit direction of a supervising Santos GLNG representative.
52. The Principal for the Activity shall be responsible for ensuring that excavations are prepared and executed in accordance with statutory requirements.
53. Any personnel working within the vicinity of the Pipeline are required to attend an induction conducted by Santos prior to commencement of site works.
54. No earthmoving equipment or construction traffic is permitted to travel along, cross or stand over the Pipeline.
55. Where mobile equipment traffic is required to operate in the vicinity of the Pipeline, an ‘exclusion buffer’ either side of the pipeline will be barricaded off by the developer for the duration of construction. The location and type of barrier will be determined with and agreed to by a Santos GLNG representative.
56. Vibration-rolling is not permitted over or within the vicinity of the Pipeline. The option to undertake static-rolling and/or the minimum offset for vibration-rolling shall be subject to Santos Engineering assessment.
57. The standard of compaction in the vicinity of the Pipeline is the responsibility of the developer and is to be confirmed with Santos prior to commencement of works.
58. The storage of building materials or equipment over or in the vicinity of the Pipeline is not permitted.
59. The developer shall be responsible for obtaining all consents and approvals from Santos GLNG and relevant government departments for the extinguishment and/or amendments to easements and/or registrations as required, and pay any legal costs incurred by Santos for preparation of the associated legal documents.

Body of Report:
15th National Conference on Volunteering
Cr. Newman has indicated an interest in attending the upcoming 15th National Conference on volunteering, to gain insight into encouraging volunteerism in the Maranoa. Attracting and retaining volunteers in the community has become increasingly challenging, with many of the traditional volunteer base retiring, and the younger generation often time poor in today’s society.
The theme of the conference program is to ‘Lead, Partner, Build & Sustain’ volunteerism.
Its aim is to assist in the provision of leadership, collaboration, innovation, programs and advocacy. Key issues will be examined, with a view to improving knowledge and skills to develop capabilities and improve programs and practices.
The conference will be held in Adelaide on 4 – 6 September 2013.
LGAQ 117th Annual Conference
Council has traditionally attended this annual conference, being a key event on the Local Government Association of Queensland’s (LGAQ) events calendar, and an opportunity to meet with fellow Councillors from across the state to discuss a range of topics and challenges.
This year’s conference is themed around “Value for Money’ – a reflection of a financial climate, which is increasingly seeing Queensland councils delivering ‘more with less’. The program is designed to highlight opportunities for Council to continue to make a difference while continuing to achieve value for money – value for the organisation, for its constituents and the community.
A range of interactive and professional development workshops are available for attendees.
The conference will be held in Cairns on 21 – 24 October 2013.

Item 4 Roma CBD Development wish list
The group requested an update on presentation of their formal request to Council - that the demolishing of the existing public toilets be placed on hold, and for the existing block to remain operational in addition to the new amenity block.
Chair, Cr. O’Neil, advised the group that the process of formalising of Advisory Committee Recommendations was under development. As soon as this was finalised this recommendation would proceed formally and an update provided to the group.
Group Members offered ideas for inclusion on the ‘wish list’ as follows:-
· Where possible utilise Bottle Trees to enhance Roma’s connection with the native tree
· Consider additional parking for caravans, perhaps near the railway station
· To assist with traffic congestion on Bowen Street, traffic to turn left in and out of this road only (Suggestion to be put forward to TMR)
· Investigate practicality and legislation requirements around placing round about’s on McDowall Street (not all in favour of round abouts)
· Utilise sandstone to finish of street corners (visually pleasing)
· Encourage parking outside of the immediate CBD
· Go ahead with mid street crossings
· Improve safety and lower speed limit
· Include community gathering points, both scattered and a larger combined area
· Larger space could incorporate a precinct for kids, arts, water space, markets, play space, alfresco dining.
· Retain number of car parks in CBD
· Paint old style buildings on McDowall Street (visual appeal)
· Include bubblers to drink from at key locations
· Bottle Tree sculptures at either end of McDowall Street
· Existing Toilets on Arthur Street to remain operational
· Pedestrian crossing on Wyndham Street
· Dress up the bottle tree’s & enhance existing theme (e.g. Easter in the Country)
· Create ambience with lighting, including lighting of trees
· Raised crossings (removable)
· Introduce regulated parking
· Fix drainage issues on McDowall Street as part of CBD upgrade
Item 5 Regulated Car Parking Update
A key issue identified was the volume of long term parkers on the CBD streets. (Business Employees)
Chair advise the group that in the instance of regulated parking being introduced, Council would enforce regulation through local laws.
Resolution Number RC.06.13
That Council consider the introduction of regulated on street parking for the whole of the area identified as “CBD,” with a maximum allowable parking period of three (3) hours.

Item 4 Guest Speakers – Peter Vincent
Peter Vincent CEO of Vincent Aviation spoke to the committee about the BAE146 aircraft that is currently flying into Roma once a week. Peter outlined the changes made to the aircrafts weight and tyre pressure to meet the requirements of the Roma Airport to ensure the safety of the facility. Peter offered for the committee members to inspect the aircraft after the meeting was closed.
Question: Adrian Harding asked ‘Is there a comparative figure to demonstrate the impact the BAE146 has compared to the Q400?’
Response: The Roma Airport is designed for the Q400, a relative comparison between Q400 and the BAE146 results in the BAE146 causing 80% of a Q400 loading on the runway and apron. This information can be provided to all committee members at the next meeting.
Question: Cr. Denton asked ‘Is the BAE146 landing in Roma with a lower tyre pressure than the aircraft normally operates with?’
Response: Yes, to comply with the landing requirements of the Roma Airport the tyre pressure are currently lower than normal operations.
Question: Cr. O’Neill asked ‘Is there any predications for the next 12-18 months for flights coming into Roma?’
Response: Would like to increase to 4-5 flights a week within 12 months. Vincent Aviation is not looking to compete with QantasLink, the focus is delivering services the private clients.
Question: Cr. O’Neill asked ‘Does Vincent Aviation have to schedule flights into Roma?’
Response: Vincent Aviation works closely with Peter Flynn to work in with the schedules for Roma and Brisbane.
Question: Cr. Denton asked ‘How does a change in schedule impact your flights?’
Response: Any change impacts us the same as all other flight carriers. It can mean missed time slots back into Brisbane and having to wait here in Roma until a new slot is assigned, delaying passengers expected flight times.
Questions were posed by committee members to Peter Vincent asking if the BAE146 can land in Toowoomba Airport as it currently is, and if they intended to operate from the Wagner’s Airport that is being developed in Toowoomba. If Vincent Aviation would look at operating a Toowoomba to Roma flight and if the route was deregulated, the possibility of operating RPT flights.
Peter Vincent advised that the BAE146 cannot land in Toowoomba currently; we would have to get a concession to land. However they have been approached to operate from the Wagner’s Airport once operational. In relation to Toowoomba to Roma flights, they would only look at this if that is what the client requested. Vincent Aviation is not looking to venture into RPT.
Peter Flynn commented that in relation to the discussion and comparison of the Q400 to the BAE146, he did not want to see the Q400 being cast in a negative light. There are a lot of similar aspects to the Q400 landing and the BAE146 landing, i.e. reduced fuel by the time the aircraft lands in Roma.
Question: Cr. O’Neill commented that the Council have experienced unauthorised operations and landings at Injune Airport and this has resulted in significant damage at the Airport. Council does not want to see a repeat at of this at Roma. Also what precautions are taken with the high temperatures that Roma experiences, as this may not have been taken into account?
Response: Vincent Aviation will take the necessary precautions to ensure that as little impact as possible occurs from their aircraft. If it was found that the BAE146 was causing damage Vincent Aviation would avoid landing in Roma to prevent this. The Pavement Concession Number is based on the condition and environment of the pavement at Roma Airport, the impact of higher temperatures would have been accounted for in this calculation. However we would find the best solution to avoid any potential impact from higher temperatures, such as landing later, if this can coincide with the requirements of the client.
Question: Greg Shaw asked ‘Would Vincent Aviation be prepared to contribute to the cost of installing PAPI lights at Roma Airport’
Response: If it became a viable option that Vincent Aviation was arriving/departing more frequently or were requested to land during dark hours, we would be prepared to make arrangements to contribute to the installation of PAPI lights.
Question: Barry McCabe asked ‘What is the operational cost of the BAE146 compared to the Q400?’
Response: The BAE146 has a higher operational cost because of the higher fuel consumption; however the capital cost is much lower.
Item 5 Airports Legislative Framework – Questions
No questions were presented by committee members
Item 6 Roma Aero Club Parking
Greg Shaw bought to the committee that the parking around the Aero Club and other airport businesses has been reduced because council have sectioned off parking and marked with ‘No Parking’ signs on Hangar Drive. Greg believes that council should not been able to do this as it is a gazetted road, businesses at the airport and private users should not have to pay for parking and the issue needs to be addressed. Greg proposed sectioning off this area from the rest of the airport with a security fence.
Cr. O’Neill stated that the issue had not been raised with council and asked how many car park spaces would need to be reinstated to address this issue?
Ben Jones advised that the sectioning off of the car parks located across from the Aero Club was in response to notification that vehicles had been parking in this location and it was becoming dangerous. The parked vehicles were on a corner, passengers were leaving their bags on the road and passengers were not looking for traffic travelling through this area.
Cr. O’Neill proposed that Airport Management consult with Airport businesses and private users to establish how many car park spaces were felt to be needed to rectify this issue.
Item 7 Terminal Redesign
Ben Jones presented the committee with the final design of the Airport Terminal for the next stage in development. The item of note was the inclusion of an area for retail outlets, located opposite the kiosk location.
The committee agreed that expressions of interest should be sought from the community to help in estimating the number of outlets that would be required.
Cr. Schefe also added that the inclusion of a platform for local tourism would also be beneficial. This could be through displayed brochures and a running advertisement on digital displays located around the terminal.
Item 8 Charter Flight Scheduling
Peter Flynn noted the congestion that was occurring at the airport. There are a significant number of flights coming through the airport and at times several flights can land at the airport at one time. The congestion that occurs both on the apron and in the terminal is becoming an operational issue.
Ben Jones advised that he has contacted Air Services Australia to conduct a study of the air space at Roma Airport to advise Airport Management on appropriate actions to better control the scheduling at Roma. Airport Management is also proposing amendments to be made in ERSA to insure aircraft operators advise Airport Management of unscheduled landings so congestion can be managed better.
Item 9 MI Helicopters: Parking matters
This agenda item was already addressed in the discussion of Item 6 – Aero Club Parking
Item 10 General Business
Barry McCabe raised concern about the current procedure for obtaining the gate code for access airside. The code is no longer displayed on the inside of the gate.
Ben Jones advised that during a recent OTS audit, is was advised that the display of the gate code was not a secure way of allowing access airside and as such it was suggested that it be removed and a new process put in place. As per the current wording of the TSP the gate code is required to be changed every 3 months to ensure security. To gain access airside, an individual must present to the administration office at the Airport and show their ASIC before the gate code can be given.
The committee discussed alternate options for access, as the council does not have someone at the airport 24 hours a day. The committee agreed that the process of having the code on the inside of the gate, but shielded with a cover was the best option.
Cr. O’Neill moved that Airport Management develop a new process for airside access, using the preferred suggestion of the gate code displayed on the inside of the gate with a cover shielding it from general view.
Seconded: Greg Shaw
Cr. Denton asked if the rental companies located at the airport hired vehicles to the general public, as she has been informed that there was an instance were someone was refused hire of a vehicle as vehicles were only hired to resource companies and not the general public.
Adrian Harding of Europcar advised that whilst he could not speak on behalf of the other rental companies, he hired to anyone who wished to hire a vehicle. Although sometimes a specific vehicle that is requested cannot be hired because of prior bookings.
Keith Chandler asked the possibility of free parking for out of town Maranoa Regional Council residents. He stated that his wife had written several letters to council asking this question but had not yet received a response.
Cr. O’Neill advised that the letters had not been brought before council, but that this issue had been discussed at length.
Cr. Denton advised that the outcome was not feasible as the free parking for some resident was not fair to all residents of the Maranoa Regional Council. It would mean the cost of the asset would be subsided and increase rates for all residents and there are some residents who do not utilise the airport facilities.
The committee discussed the idea of an annual pass for those wishing to access parking at a reduced cost, however no outcome was reached.

Officer Report
Meeting: General 28 August 2013 |
Date: 7 August 2013 |
Item Number: 10.3 |
File Number: D13/34558 |
Subject Heading: Regional Tourism Organisation (RTO) Membership
Classification: Open Access
Name of Applicant: N/a
Location: N/a
Author & Officer’s Title: Edward Sims, Manager - Major Projects, Economic Development & Tourism
Executive Summary:
Council has been considering for some time whether it would be more beneficial to the region to be a member of the Outback Queensland Tourism Association (OQTA) based in Longreach, or the Southern Queensland Country Tourism Association (SQCT) based in Toowoomba.
Given that the Maranoa is on the extremity of two tourism regions, it is proposed that Council apply for membership of both organisations for the coming year as an initial trial.
By way of comparison, the Townsville City Council is a member of both Northern and Outback RTO’s. Like the Maranoa, it is on the extremity of two tourism regions, and by virtue of its membership in both, is reassured that its interests are served in all market sectors.
|
That Council:
1. Maintain its current membership in Southern Queensland Country Tourism RTO for 2013/14.
2. Establish membership in the Outback Queensland Tourism Association RTO for 2013/14.
3. Consider additional funding of $30,000 at the next quarterly review to allow for buy-in to both organisations’ campaigns for autumn.
4. Undertake a review of its longer term strategy for RTO membership no later than May 2014. |
Body of Report:
Background:
It has, historically, not been an easy decision for Councils within the Maranoa to determine whether they fit into the community of interest of the Toowoomba based, Southern Queensland Country Tourism Association (SQCT or previous equivalent) or the Longreach based Outback Queensland Association (OQTA).
The former Booringa Shire Council joined the OQTA some years ago, and adopted the marketing strategy of “The Gateway to the Outback”. The other Local Councils that now form the Maranoa Regional Council remained aligned to Toowoomba’s marketing efforts.
To date, Maranoa Regional Council has remained aligned to the SQCT primarily for the benefits of proximity to the South East Queensland market (given its higher population centres and therefore market size).
Within the SQCT membership base, the Maranoa forms the western boundary of a huge area that includes Western Downs, Goondiwindi, Balonne, Southern Downs, South Burnett and Toowoomba Council areas. For Tourism purposes we are marketed as “Western Downs” which creates some confusion (given the local government areas), and the perception that the region’s interests may get lost in the large/diverse tourism product.
Concepts:
A number of options have been discussed with Councillors and are now formally tabled within this report:
a) OQTA Membership, or
b) SQCT Membership, or
c) both OQTA and SQCT Membership, or
d) having no membership in either.
A detailed comparison of benefits has previously been provided, however in summary:
a) OQTA
§ Membership investment is marginally dearer
§ Target markets are consistent with SQCT
§ Benefits of membership are not as comprehensive (assistance with planning, consulting)
§ Our budget can accommodate this for no more expenditure
b) SQCT
§ Within the 2013/14 budget
§ Target markets are consistent with OQTA
§ Some assistance is provided with planning and consulting services
§ No changes required to current arrangements
§ We will need to represent ourselves at various Tourism & Travel Shows as SQCT will not hand out our brochures.
c) Both
a. Combined membership fees will be around $40K (total budget for RTO membership and marketing/promotion is $45K)
b. We will benefit from both promotional efforts but will need a budget adjustment of approximately $30K additional to allow for buy-in to both campaigns for autumn
c. It is the view of MRC Tourism team members that we will need to represent ourselves at various shows, even if we belong to both.
d) Go it alone
§ We may lose effectiveness with networks of Government support
§ We will need to develop our own:
i. marketing strategy and advertising campaigns
ii. represent ourselves at various shows around the target markets
iii. will require significant budget for additional personnel for marketing and coordination of campaigns
Conclusion:
Option a) is achievable with minimal increase in budget
Option b) is within budget
Option c) will get us the benefits of both worlds for around $45K additional per year
Option d) will be expensive and potentially isolate us from support networks (and funding opportunities)

Meeting: General 28 August 2013 |

Item Number: 10.4 |
File Number: D13/36984 |
Subject Heading: Roma Farmers' Markets
Classification: Open Access
Name of Applicant: N/a
Location: N/a
Author & Officer’s Title: Edward Sims, Manager - Major Projects, Economic Development & Tourism
Executive Summary:
Auspiced by the Roma Tourism Association (RTA), the Roma Farmers’ Markets (the markets) have been conducted at the Big Rig parklands precinct every 3rd Saturday of the month between February and November since 2011.
Given the many priorities and reduced capacity of the current RTA committee, it has decided to approach the community to try to attract an alternative individual or group to take responsibility for the continuation of the markets. The arrangement, which will be determined with a successful responder, could take the form of ownership of the markets or the management rights.
RTA would like assurance from Council that when it enters into negotiations with a suitable entity that it can be confident that Council will offer the same support that it provides RTA in the conduct of the markets presently. |
That Council resolve to provide the same level of support to a successful tenderer for the conduct and management of the Roma Farmers’ Markets, as has been provided to Roma Tourism Association specifically:
1. Placement of road signage to block vehicular access to the precinct 2. Access to Electricity outlets on site at cost 3. The provision of extra rubbish bins if needed 4. Access to tables and chairs stored in the miniature train storage shed 5. Routine inspection, and if required the cleaning, of toilets pre-event 6. Cooperation of Parks and Gardens team to not operate sprinklers on the morning of the event and while it is in progress. |
Body of Report:
Each market day the same group of people assembles to routinely set up and break down the markets, requiring almost no involvement of Council personnel.
This may not be the case for a new organisation or group who may be running the markets, so as a worst case scenario Council assistance would involve the following.
Each 3rd Saturday of the month between February and November yearly:
1. Placement of road signage to block vehicular access to the precinct (a stop barrier at the western end of Riggers Rd, as this is used by market stalls).
2. Access to Electricity outlets on site at cost. (At this stage minimal use by an operator with a coffee stall and a Council officer unlocks the box and locks it post event)
3. The provision of extra rubbish bins if needed. (These are stored in the storage area next to the night show, and if required a Council officer will need to unlock the area).
4. Access to tables and chairs stored in the miniature train storage shed.
5. Routine inspection, and if required the cleaning, of toilets pre-event.
6. Cooperation of parks and gardens team to not operate sprinklers on the morning of the event and while it is in progress
The next markets are scheduled for 21 September, 10 October and 16 November will be the last event for 2013. RTA will conduct their AGM during September and the new committee will determine the next steps in the future of the markets.

Key points to note are as follows:
Operating Revenue
· Council’s rates notices for the first half of the financial year are earmarked to happen in August/September as per the Revenue Statement 2013/14.
· Quarry sales and saleyards revenue year to date is presented in a separate report (File D13/36100)
· Year to date Airport fees received of $1.9M
· $6.8M from Flood Damage restoration works
· A claim of $2.0 M has been accounted for the Santos/Origin works
Operating Expenses
· $10.0M relates to flood restoration costs of which revenue of $6.0M has been recognised year to date.
· An amount spent of $2.1 M for other commercial works (Santos/Origin), revenue of $2.1M has been recognised covering costs year to date.
Capital Revenue
· Council received Federal funding from Roads to Recovery in mid-August 2013 of $4.6M. Approximately $1.2M relates to this financial year’s capital expenditure and the balance of $3.4M relates to costs incurred from prior years and including 2012/13 financial year.
Capital Expenditure
· Council so far has spent $2.2M on roads infrastructure. An equivalent revenue amount has been recognised to cover capital projects that are externally funded, eg Roads to Recovery.
· A deposit of $718K has been made to State Government on the budgeted land purchase (saleyard).
Transfer to/from Reserves – Capital & Operating
Reserves transfers have not been accounted for year to date. It is intended to have all transfers to and from reserves completed in line with the quarterly budget reviews.
New Loan & Repayments
Local governments borrowing guidelines were released on 21 August. Strategic Finance is in the process of preparing the borrowing submission to the Treasurer for the approved total borrowing of $4.75M.
Loans from Queensland Treasury Corporation are generally paid on a quarterly basis, hence no amounts are accounted for year to date.
Other
Officers are currently reviewing a number of recorded transactions. The results of that review will be advised to Councillors once available.

The Maranoa Retirement Village Auxiliary has requested to facilitate the alternative usage of used equipment to a designated charity (Jesus Abandoned) to assist activities of daily living. Alternative options for Council would incur significant cost.
|
In accordance with Division 4, section 236, 1 (b) (i) of the Local Government Regulation 2012, that council dispose of non-current assets to the Maranoa Retirement Village Auxiliary remaining at the Maranoa Retirement Village which include:
1.Various items of used equipment, including wheelchairs and walking aids and other minor items to support activities of daily living to overseas countries via a charity (Jesus Abandoned) in Toowoomba.
2. Previously donated motorised scooter to support an individual in Mitchell. |
Body of Report:
The Maranoa Retirement Village Auxiliary has requested to utilise old equipment that is currently being stored at the Village that includes wheelchairs and walking frames to donate to a charitable organisation to improve outcomes for people in countries overseas. This charity restores secondhand equipment for international purposes. Some of this equipment was originally donated by families and the Auxiliary. The Auxiliary would arrange transport of these items to Toowoomba for repair and distribution.
Maranoa Regional Council is limited with their options of what to do with these items due to their age and condition and they have little monetary value. There would also be a cost to Council should alternatives be sourced. In consultation with Med-Tech Toowoomba, the cost to assess these items ($79/hour plus on cost) which includes travel, labor and materials. Therefore, it is not recommended that Councils distribute these items locally due to these requirements, individual’s mobility requirements and the condition of the equipment.
Council also has a motorised scooter that was donated for community use and stored at the village. The Auxiliary have requested this be gifted back in its current state, to support a local individual.
In accordance with Division 4, section 236, 1 (b) (i) of the Local government Regulation 2012:
A local Government may dispose of a valuable non current asset other than by tender or auction if the valuable non current asset is disposed of to a government agency or community organisation.
Council has previously approved the transfer of useable non-current assets to the value of $55,300 to the Mitchell MPHS on 17 April 2013 to facilitate the smooth transition of clients. These assets were in use at the Village at the time of transition. A majority of the remaining items were not in use for some time at the facility due to their age and condition. The Maranoa Retirement Auxiliary has provided a suitable alternative option for the use of these remaining items.

Executive Summary: Council received a suggestion to fix and raise Womalilla Creek Crossing on Middle Road.
|
That Council consider this request in future budget deliberations
|
Body of Report:
Council received a suggestion from Kent Morris to fix and raise Womalilla Creek Crossing on Middle Road. The main reason being the road is cut off when the creek flows and traffic is diverted via V-Gate Lane causing damage to this road. Council has also previously received a request from Lana and Don Lamb to upgrade this crossing.
An inspection was completed on 1 August 2013. The crossing is a narrow, 4m wide floodway that is intact. The flood markers reach 6m in height. There is anecdotal evidence that whilst the creek may rise rapidly it also may recede within 3 hours. Officers have been advised this, on average, occurs up to 3 times a year.
When this section is cut off there is an alternate route available, along V-Gate Lane and then Mitchell-St George Road, however, travel time may increase. As there isn’t any data to confirm advice received it is recommended that the impact of rain events on this crossing be monitored into the future. Any potential upgrade to the crossing may be considered should future plans/budgets allow for improvements on adjacent road sections.

Executive Summary: Council received a request for an upgrade to the Maranoa River Crossing on Begonia Road.
|
That Council consider this request in future budget deliberations
|
Body of Report:
Council received a request for an upgrade to the Maranoa River Crossing on Begonia Road. Flood restoration work has recently been completed on the crossing from the Event 4 flood, however this is ‘like for like’ so the crossing was not improved, only reinstated to its original condition pre-flood. Begonia Road has been endorsed by Council as a Local Road of Regional Significance
An inspection of the Maranoa River Crossing was completed on 2 August 2013. The crossing is located on Begonia Road approximately 2.7km from the Mitchell-St George Road turnoff. It has 2 box culverts, several pipes, batter protection and a newly sealed surface.
To improve the surface integrity of the crossing the surface seal and road base would need to be removed to the ground level, then replaced with either cement or a pre-mix ensuring it locks in with the existing ground concrete. The cement surface is the optimum solution.
This crossing has been identified as a possible case for application of funds from NDRRA Betterment funding scheme. A potential upgrade to the crossing could be considered should future plans/budgets allow for improvements on adjacent road sections.

Executive Summary: Council has received a request from Bill Purcell to extend Lanreef Road
|

Body of Report:
Council has received a request from Bill Purcell to extend Lanreef Road beyond the property boundary of Lot 31 on Plan WV391 to provide access to the land parcel of Lot 25 on Plan WV390.
An inspection of the section was completed on 13 August 2013. There is an unformed track which may provide access to the property. However it is unclear whether it is within the road reserve area. Prior to any road forming a complete survey of the section would need to be undertaken at additional costs to establish the road reserve area. Depending on the positioning of the road reserve there may be a potential cultural and heritage impact.

Location:
Author & Officer’s Title: Kylie Fleischfresser, Coordinator - Infrastructure Planning
Executive Summary: Council has received a request to upgrade Lewis Street South to bitumen seal standard
|
That Council consider this request in future budget deliberations
|
Body of Report:
Council has received a request from Phil Aisthorpe that Council upgrade Lewis Street South to bitumen seal standard. Lewis Street South is an Urban Access Place and the approximate length is 0.193km. 36 Lewis Street South (Lot 93 of Plan 8637) is subject to a development application for Material Change of Use – 12 Units.
An inspection was completed on 13 August 2013. Lewis Street South is currently a 5m wide gravel road. The recommended upgrade is for an 8m seal with kerb and channel along the residential side. 4 properties will benefit from this works. The works have been estimated for 137m which is approximately 10m beyond the corner property boundary to ensure access to that property.
During the inspection the corner connecting Lewis Street South with Rae Street was identified as a potential safety issue. There is a concrete railway stopper proximal to the corner which is narrow with low visibility. A bitumen seal increases the speed at which vehicles can travel the corner, thus increasing the risk should a vehicle impact with the concrete stopper. It is recommended that in future Council consider closing the corner section of road and construct a cul de sac on Lewis Street South.

Again, thank you for bringing this matter to the attention of Councillor O’Neil.
Please do not hesitate to contact Sheree Hurle of my office on (07) 4624 0748, or by email – sheree.hurle@maranoa.qld.gov.au, if you have any further questions or concerns with progression of this matter.

Author & Officer’s Title: Tanya Mansfield, Manager-Facilities
Executive Summary: Council has received a request from Peter Cummings to place a historical plaque on the site of the original Mitchell Downs Homestead in Mitchell to commemorate an ancestor of Peter’s who was buried on Mitchell Downs. This original homestead site is now known locally as the old Recreation Reserve and is owned by Council under freehold tenure. Council is asked to consider Peter Cummings’ request. |
Council provide permission to Peter Cummings to place a commemorative plaque with the wording “Elizabeth Cumming, nee Bryning. Died 26 July 1896. Aged 22 years. Buried Mitchell Downs” and measuring A5 size, on the decorative stone gate posts leading into Lot 1 on M15136 being the old Recreation Reserve Mitchell. |
Body of Report:
The Office of the Mayor received correspondence from Peter Cummings asking permission to place a plaque on the site of the original Mitchell Downs Homestead in Mitchell to commemorate Elizabeth Cumming, an ancestor of Peter’s who died in 1876 and was buried on Mitchell Downs.
The original Mitchell Downs Homestead was located on the block bordered by Mary, Rugby, Louisa and Winchester Streets Mitchell and is known locally as the old recreation reserve.
Historically, Booringa Shire Council purchased this former reserve with the view of subdividing for housing development. The land has freehold tenure. The land is fenced and has decorative stone gate posts at the entry way.
Correspondence was sent to Mr Cummings on 1 August 2013, providing further information on the potential future plans for the site with the intention being that Mr Cummings needed to be aware that the plaque may eventually be sited in a housing estate. Mr Cummings was advised as follows:-
(a) While the Mitchell Downs homestead was located on the old recreation grounds site, the original cemetery was located more west of this site towards the now Catholic Church;
(b) Council owns the old recreation grounds site as freehold land. It is planned to establish a housing estate on this site;
(c) Council may look to somehow incorporate a monument or similar when the housing estate is developed. It is not expected that the estate will be developed for 5 years or more.

That Council at this time not dispose of Lots 43 – 53 on M15119. |
Body of Report:
Council has received interest in purchasing Lots 43 - 53 on M15119, being Council owned freehold land.
Historically, this land was unallocated state land and was purchased and converted to freehold title by Booringa Shire Council for future light industrial land development. This land is in a position to benefit from the realignment of the Warrego Highway through Mitchell.
The Local Government (Finance, Plans and Reporting) Regulation 2010 provides for a process that Council must follow before it can enter a contract of sale. Under the definitions of the regulation, land is classified as a valuable non-current asset.
In accordance with section 176 of the regulation, a local government cannot enter into a valuable non-current asset contract unless it first-
(a) Invites written tenders for the contract under section 177; or
(b) Offers the non-current asset for sale by auction.
This land will in the future have access to the newly aligned Warrego Highway which may increase the market value of the land. It may also present an opportunity for business development in Mitchell. It is recommended that at this time Council retain the land pending the realignment of the Warrego Highway through Mitchell.
Consultation (internal/external):

Item Number: 20.1 |
File Number: D13/36429 |
SUBJECT HEADING: Airport Advisory Committee Request - Opening of additional 'Check-in Counter'
Classification: Open Access
Author & Councillor’s Title: Cr Joy Denton
That Council progress, with priority, the opening of a third ‘check-in’ counter on location at the Roma Airport.
|
Background:
The Airport Advisory Committee, at its last meeting on 7 August 2013, discussed the need for opening a third ‘check-in’ counter as a priority. The terminal is struggling to cater for the volume of passengers traveling out of the Roma Airport at check-in for departing flights. Passenger lines are often observed extending outside of the terminal when checking in. With limited seating in the waiting area, this is becoming increasingly concerning as summer approaches, bringing with the seasonally high temperature ranges.
Limited availability of seating while passengers wait to check-in, also compromises passenger comfort and safety if waiting for extended periods of time, in particular the elderly and very young.
The committee has requested that Council prioritise the opening of an additional check-in counter.
Consultation:
- Airport Advisory Committee
- Ben Jones - Manager – Airports (Roma, Injune & Surat)
Policy Implications:
Nil
Financial Resource Implications:
The cost for the conveyor at the third check in was accounted for in the 13/14 budget under the terminal expansion.
