In accordance with section 150EF of the Local Government Act 2009, Councillor Andrew Antoniolli informed the meeting that he may have a perceived personal interest in Item 16.6 titled Proposal to Acquire industrial property located at Flinders View for a strategic purpose.

Councillor Antoniolli advised that he has previously declared this interest before in relation to properties that Council already owns however this matter is private property of which the Council has an interest so therefore declaring again as the circumstances are slightly different.

DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST IN MATTERS ON THE AGENDA

In accordance with section 150EQ of the Local Government Act 2009, Councillor Jim Madden informed the meeting that he has a declarable conflict of interest in Item 2 titled Ipswich City Council Membership to Healthy Land and Water 2024-2025.

The nature of the interest is that Councillor Madden was a former board member of Healthy Waterways however has no current connection with Healthy Land and Water and is not an office bearer or member.

Councillor Jim Madden invited the other councillors to determine if he can continue to participate in the decision process.

It was moved by Deputy Mayor Nicole Jonic and seconded by Councillor Andrew Antoniolli that Councillor Jim Madden may participate in the meeting in relation to the matter, including by voting on the matter because there is no personal or financial benefit to the councillor and therefore a reasonable person would trust that the final decision is made in the public interest.

The eligible councillors present at the meeting decided that Councillor Jim Madden may participate in the meeting in relation to the matter, including by voting on the matter.

Meeting Agenda

24 October

2024

Doc ID No: A10701783

ITEM: 16.1

SUBJECT: CEO Organisational Performance Report for September 2024

AUTHOR: Chief Executive Officer

DATE: 24 September 2024

Executive Summary

This is a monthly report by the Chief Executive Officer focusing on a summary of organisational performance in the areas of workplace health and safety, progress in the delivery of Council’s Corporate and Operational Plans, our people and culture, financial management, capital program delivery, flood recovery, external funding, significant risks and legal matters.

This report is for the month of September 2024. The report for this period highlights current significant matters and progress on key performance indicators.

RECOMMENDATION

That the Chief Executive Officer Organisational Performance Report for the month of September 2024 be received and the contents noted.

BACKGROUND

1. Current Significant Matters

New renewable energy commitment

Council has entered into a new contract with CleanCo Queensland to power major council buildings and nearly 30,000 streetlights with 100% renewable energy. This initiative aims to achieve a 50% reduction in emissions, aligning with the council's Sustainability Strategy 2021-2026. The renewable energy will be sourced from wind farms in western and northern Queensland, provided by CleanCo, based in Swanbank. This move will reduce the council’s operational emissions by approximately 13,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, making Ipswich the third local government in Queensland to adopt renewable energy.

Cycle or scoot to Tulmur Place

Council has advanced its city-wide active transport masterplan by establishing a new public end-of-trip facility in the Nicholas Street Precinct in an effort to increase active transport. This open-air facility, part of the council-endorsed iGO Active Transport Action Plan (ATAP) and Ipswich Central Revitalisation efforts, is located in the Nicholas Street carpark adjacent to the Bradfield Bridge. Funded by the council in partnership with the State Government, the facility includes six (6) electric charging stations for e-scooters and e-bicycles, 16 bicycle racks, new decking, lighting, and security cameras. Public toilets and showers are available nearby in Tulmur Place.

Young Ipswich change makers tackle sustainability issues

More than 150 students from nine Ipswich primary schools participated in Council’s annual Youth Sustainability Summit, presenting their ideas for a sustainable future. Themed 'Change Makers,' the summit allowed students to share their vision for a clean, green, and circular economy city. The summit, part of the council's efforts to support youth-led sustainability projects, included presentations that are being displayed at the Queens Park Environmental Education Centre during Sustainable Ipswich in October. The event, held for students in grades 4 to 6, had the aim to inspire sustainability projects at school and home.

New funding program to help boost residential in Ipswich Central

Council has launched a new funding program, Shop Top Living, to encourage property owners in Ipswich Central to retrofit underutilised spaces above shops for residential use. The program aims to increase the number of residents in Ipswich Central by providing financial incentives. Council will match property owners' contributions up to $10,000, with a total funding pool capped at $50,000. The program has the potential to make a contribution to the city's vibrancy by increasing after-hours activity and supporting the opening of major tenancies in the Nicholas Street Precinct.

Lions partnership to bring real rewards to Ipswich

Council has entered a three-year partnership with the Brisbane Lions to create development pathways for future female athletes and aspiring sport administrators in Ipswich. There are many benefits to the city, including promotion of Ipswich at Brisbane Lions’ home games, access to AFLW players for community health programs, and hosting more state and national sporting championships at Brighton Homes Arena. The partnership will also support council’s advocacy for city projects and feature major events and fan days. This collaboration, involving the Lions Institute of Business and Sport and TAFE Queensland, aims to enhance the city's sporting community and bring economic benefits through increased professional-level sports and community programming. The phased plan will strategically maximize these benefits over the next three years.

2. Workplace Health and Safety

LGAQ LTIFR rate is calculated on a calendar year and not a 12-month rolling total which ICC uses. LTIFR data was not available for February, March and April due to the Fusion system upgrade.

The LTIFR rate equates to lost time injuries every six months. The State Average is the average of LTIFR across the 62 local councils within the Local Government Association

Queensland (LGAQ) scheme.

The physical and psycho-social safety and wellbeing of the workforce continues to be the CEO and the organisation’s first and foremost priority.

The LTSR rate equates to the number of days lost for each LTI. The State Average is the average of LTSR across the 62 local councils within the LGAQ scheme. The LGAQ rate is calculated on a calendar year and not a 12-month rolling total which ICC uses.

The Injury Incident Rate (IIR) is a new reporting indicator for Council as of June 2023. The IIR rate is the number of injury incidents per 100 workers. The State Average is the average of IIR across the 62 local councils within the LGAQ scheme.

3. Update on Corporate/Operational Plans

The Quarterly Performance Report for July-September 2024 (Quarter 1 period) on the 2024-2025 Operational Plan will be presented to the 28 November 2024 Council Ordinary Meeting.

The Annual Plan and the last quarterly report are available on council’s website:

https://www.ipswich.qld.gov.au/about_council/media/corporate_publications/annual-plan

4. Major Key Performance Indicators

People and Culture

The total workforce for the council organisation ‘head count’ was 1595 in September 2024.

Staff turnover rate was at 11.43% in September 2024, up by 0.6% from August 2024.

For interest, but not direct comparison due to the time and calculation differential, the annual average workforce attrition rate for South-East Queensland councils for 2023 reported by the Local Government Association of Queensland was 16%.

Finance

The full financial performance report for September 2024 has been provided to the Finance and Governance Committee.

Council’s overall net result (including capital revenues) is greater than budget with a net surplus of $71.6 million compared to the budget of $28.2 million. The actual operating surplus of $6.5 million is greater than the budgeted surplus of $2.2 million. This result is mainly driven by higher interest revenues, higher fees and charges revenue and lower materials and services spend.

Capital expenditure (excluding the Voluntary Home Buy Back Scheme) for the month was $16.3 million behind budget due to the timing of the delivery of the Nicholas Street Venue and strategic transport projects.

2024-2025 Borrowing Program

Council’s planned borrowings for 2024-2025 are budgeted at $42 million. The drawdown of these new borrowings is currently planned for the April to June 2025 quarter. In accordance with the requirements of the Department of Housing, Local Government, Planning and Public Works, Council has submitted its long-term financial forecast for 2024‑2025 to the Queensland Treasury Corporation as part of the borrowing assessment process, and is currently planning for its annual credit review.

Capital Delivery Program 2024-2025

Delivery of the Capital Works Program is reported to the Infrastructure, Planning and Assets Committee every month. There was a solid result for the month of September with all projects progressing well. The full year delivery plan remains on track for completion.

5. Risk and Compliance Update

Corporate Risk Register

Council’s corporate risk register is reviewed every two months at the Executive Leadership Team (ELT) Risk Committee meeting, Council’s corporate risk register will be fully reviewed at the ELT Risk Committee meetings to be held on 22 October 2024 and 26 November 2024, with amendments agreed to, areas of responsibility, key mitigations, action plans and milestone progress.

Council’s corporate risk register and risk trends in these risks are reported through Council’s Audit and Risk Management Committee (ARMC) which is held every quarter. The corporate risk register and risk trends in these risks are also circulated to all Councillors on a quarterly basis.

Council continues to seek to actively manage and mitigate its corporate risks.

Legal Matters

An overview of all active court proceedings is provided in a confidential attachment to this report.

Matters that are not the subject of court proceedings will be considered for addition to the report where:

• they concern subject matter of significant public interest/concern; and/or

• where their outcome may present significant financial value/impact for Council; and/or

• where their outcome may set an important precedent for Council.

Generally significant non-court matters will only be reported where they are the subject of dispute and management of that dispute is being administered by Legal Services (as opposed to where Legal Services’ involvement is ad-hoc or limited to the provision of internal advice), or where they concern a significant project for Council. The detail reported in respect of each matter listed has been provided with privacy, confidentiality, and legal professional privilege (and the requirement to maintain same) in mind.
