QUESTIONS / GENERAL BUSINESS

7. QUESTION ON NOTICE - The Need for the Development of a Social Housing Policy

Councillor Marnie Doyle raised the following queries as a Question on Notice:

Whilst Council's social housing position or strategy is guided by our Local Housing Action Plan (LHAP), and aims to increase housing diversity, choice, and affordability through collaborative action with state and federal governments, the recent Ipswich City Plan 2025 supports this goal by zoning land for a range of housing types, including opportunities for social and affordable housing in appropriate locations.

Do we need to go further and develop a specific social housing policy that clearly maps out a pathway for social housing providers?

We recently approved an initiative in partnership with the Domestic Violence Action Centre and the Federal Government.

Are there learnings from that project where we can further streamline and expedite the delivery of these projects?

ACTION

Doc ID No: A12066214

ITEM: 16.1

SUBJECT: CEO Organisational Performance Report for September 2025

AUTHOR: Chief Executive Officer

DATE: 30 September 2025

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 Annual 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 2025. 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 2025 be received and the contents noted.

BACKGROUND

1. Current Significant Matters

Council delivers updated and improved council website for the community

Council launched a major update to its website to improve usability and access to services for residents. The redesigned homepage now features direct links to frequently used services such as issue reporting, planning, waste and recycling, payments and pet registration. Enhanced search capabilities make it easier to navigate the site’s 550 pages, and integration with other council platforms like libraries and galleries supports broader community engagement. The refresh responds to growing online interaction and aims to streamline customer service for the city’s expanding population.

School Holiday Offerings

Council offered a wide range of free and low-cost activities during the September school holidays, including sports, art, and educational programs. Council’s Active and Healthy initiative featured sessions like cricket, soccer, yoga, and fishing, while Libraries hosted science and history-themed workshops. The Ipswich Art Gallery provided hands-on creative experiences, and the Nicholas Street Precinct transformed into a prehistoric playground with the return of the Dinosaur Discovery experience. Families explored a dinosaur stomp trail with 12 animatronic replicas, enjoyed live shows, face painting, sand pit digs, and themed photo activations. Local businesses joined in with dinosaur-themed specials, contributing to a vibrant city centre atmosphere.

Sustainable living made easy in Ipswich this spring

Council promoted sustainable living this Spring through a series of free and low-cost community events and resources across September and continuing into October. Activities include workshops on composting, native gardening, and waste reduction, as well as educational sessions at libraries and environmental centres. These initiatives aim to support residents in adopting eco-friendly habits and making informed choices to reduce their environmental impact.

2. Workplace Health and Safety

A graph showing the number of injury rates

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) LTIFR rate is calculated on a calendar year and not a 12-month rolling total which ICC uses. 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.

A graph of injury incident rate

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

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 the July to September 2025 (Quarter 1 period) on the 2025-2026 Operational Plan will be presented to the November 2025 Council Ordinary Meeting.

The Annual Report for the 2024-2025 period provides a comprehensive overview of council’s strategic, operational and financial performance, achievements, and initiatives, ensuring transparency and accountability to the community. The Annual Report for 2024-2025 will be presented to the 30 October 2025 Council Ordinary Meeting.

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

annual-plan-2025-2026.pdf

Community engagement on council’s next five year Corporate Plan will commence later this calendar year.

4. Major Key Performance Indicators

People and Culture

A graph of a workflow

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

The total workforce for the council organisation ‘head count’ was 1581 in September 2025.

A graph with blue lines and numbers

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

Staff turnover rate was at 10.53% in September 2025, up by 0.68% from August 2025.

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 2024 reported by the LGAQ was 18%.

Finance

The full financial performance report for September 2025 has been reported to the Finance and Governance Committee.

The total net result (including capital revenue) for Ipswich City Council as of 30 September 2025 is a surplus of $29.4 million compared to the year to date (YTD) budget surplus of $35.4 million. Council’s YTD operating deficit (excluding capital revenue and the Infrastructure Levy) is $3.5 million compared to the budgeted YTD deficit of $1.3 million. The unfavourable result is driven by the Financial Assistance Grant being received and recognised in the prior financial year, employee expenses continuing to be over budget, and increased depreciation from the asset revaluation processed at 30 June 2024. Materials and services expenditure is trending lower than budget which is mainly due to the timing of expenditure.

Capital expenditure (excluding asset donations, Voluntary Home Buy Back and disaster recovery) is $3.7 million above the YTD budget. Overspends were mainly due to drainage, kerb and channel, and gravel road rehabilitation works and strategic transport projects.

Capital Delivery Program 2025-2026

The month of September continued the strong delivery performance for the current financial year. Actual expenditure of $8.65 million was $1 million above the budget allocation of $7.64 million. This result was primarily due to the early completion of road resurfacing packages along with completion of works on Blackall Street in East Ipswich.

The continued run of dry weather has allowed projects to progress with minimal delays experienced across the capital program portfolio.

5. Risk and Compliance Update

Corporate Risk Register

Council’s corporate risk register is reviewed on a regular basis. Council’s corporate risk register was reviewed at the ELT Risk Committee meeting held on 9 October 2025. Its next review will be at the ELT Risk Committee meeting on 4 December 2025.

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 regular 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.
