Doc ID No: A10998988

ITEM: 16.1

SUBJECT: CEO Organisational Performance Report for December 2024

AUTHOR: Chief Executive Officer

DATE: 3 December 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 December 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 December 2024 be received and the contents noted.

BACKGROUND

1. Current Significant Matters

Ipswich koala population boost as council eyes land for environment

Council has acquired 32 hectares of land in South Ripley to expand koala habitat and enhance environmental protection. This land, part of a significant ecological corridor, is home to various native species, including koalas. The acquisition, funded through the Enviroplan levy, aims to connect core conservation areas and preserve natural beauty. The land purchase will secure the area for environmental purposes, preventing potential loss. This initiative is part of the council’s broader strategy to balance environmental protection with urban growth, ensuring Ipswich remains a clean and green city. To date, the council has acquired nearly 6,000 hectares for environmental management.

Beloved Colleges Crossing Recreation Reserve reopens

Colleges Crossing Recreation Reserve has reopened to the public after being devastated by the 2022 floods. The redesigned riverside site in Chuwar now features new green spaces, including native gardens and grassed areas, sheltered seating, a state-of-the-art playground, new footpaths, and amenities. The extensive restoration, shaped by community consultation, aimed for a natural and flood-resilient design. Over 100 mature trees and nearly 35,000 plants were added, along with significant landscaping and infrastructure improvements. The project, funded by the Australian and Queensland governments, cost nearly $10 million and included cultural elements created with community input. The reserve is now ready for families to enjoy various activities, with new features like space for food trucks enhancing its appeal. The reserve stood up very well in its first test soon after the reopening after significant rainfall leading to inundation on low-lying sections.

Rosewood Library reopens

The Rosewood Library has reopened after a five-week closure for essential roof repairs due to significant storm damage. The repairs, which included removing and replacing solar panels and roofing sheets, were completed despite delays caused by heavy downpours. The reopening on December 16th was timely for the school holidays, allowing locals to enjoy their favourite programs and books. The library, a popular destination during the holidays, hosted various activities such as a Christmas Disco, robot testing, and story times. These repairs were necessary following a major hailstorm in October 2020, ensuring the building’s resilience against future weather events.

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 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 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 October-December 2024 (Quarter 2 period) on the 2024-2025 Operational Plan will be presented to the 27 February 2025 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 1590 in December 2024.

Staff turnover rate was at 10.27% in December 2024, down by 0.51% from November 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 December 2024 is a separate report on the Council agenda.

The total net result (including capital revenue) for Ipswich City Council as of 31 December 2024 is a surplus of $96.2 million compared to the year to date (YTD) budget surplus of
$80.1 million. Council’s YTD operating deficit (excluding capital revenue) is $298k compared to the budgeted YTD deficit of $4.7 million. The result is mainly driven by higher interest revenue and fees and charges. The additional revenue is partially offset by expenses being above budget, primarily employee expenses. Year to date there is an underspend in material and services which we expect will reduce in future months.

The total YTD capital expenditure (including the Nicholas Street Redevelopment and excluding Asset donations, the Voluntary Home Buy Back and Disaster Recovery) is
$68 million compared to the YTD budget of $84.6 million.

Capital Delivery Program 2024-2025

A good finish to the calendar year for the capital delivery program with the actual spend being in line with budget allocation for the month of December. Wet weather caused some delays in project delivery however these delays will not impact on the full-year delivery program. Moving into January we are looking forward to the completion of Redbank Plains Road duplication and the Springfield-Greenbank Arterial Road being fully operational. Design works will commence for Ripley Road duplication in January, a significant milestone in the overall project delivery.

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 reviewed at the ELT Risk Committee meetings to be held on 6 February 2025, 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.

6. Current Consultation Matters
