Council to approve the Interim General Manager’s determination to allocate $2494.69 from Community Donation Budget to the Gundagai Business Network to cover the cost of Public Liability Insurance for the committee. |
Introduction
The Gundagai Business Network (GBN) is a group of business owners and representatives who are passionate about promoting the local community to enhance the growth of both Gundagai and local businesses.
Discussion
Following the dissolution of the Gundagai Regional Enhancement Group (GREG) early this year, no business focused committee has existed in Gundagai. The Gundagai Business Network is a newly formed committee committed to assisting to rebuild the Gundagai Community with successful events, bringing the community together, promote local businesses and the Gundagai community.
The Gundagai Business Network was successful in an Expression of Interest to hold two events under the Community Events Program Grants funding to the value of $95,000.00, however, being a newly formed Committee, do not have the funds required to obtain the necessary $20 million public liability insurance.
Financial
The committee has submitted a request for financial assistance to cover the cost of annual Public Liability Insurance to cover committee members in running these events and other functions of the committee. The Interim General Manager authorised payment of the public liability insurance as it was needed to confirm their acceptance of the grant which was required before the date of the council meeting.

Cash and Investment Portfolio
Performance
Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council’s investment portfolio underperformed compared to the relevant BBSW Index benchmark by 26.27%. The average weighted yield for September was 2.30%, over an average weighted term of 82 days, with a benchmark of 3.06%. The reason for the underperformance being the rapid increase in rates in the past six months and the large amount of cash held. To improve performance, cash held will be invested with an ADI offering higher rates without having to lock the money in and maturing deposits will be invested with a focus on short term to deal with the current uncertainties. This process was not completed in September due to staff being on leave and will be completed in October.

The Local Heritage Fund program provides financial assistance to promote a positive community attitude to heritage conservation.

For the 2022/23 financial year, three applications were received before the closing date. The applications received were for projects as follows:
- To construct/create heritage room at Ellwood’s Hall, Stockinbingal;
- New concrete paving & accessible entry to St. Paul’s Church, Nangus;
- Upgrade and external painting to residence, Stockinbingal.
It is noted that one application, being the project at Nangus, did not provide owners consent for work to be carried out. Therefore, this application is ineligible for funding this round.
Council’s heritage advisor has reviewed each of the applications and provided the following advice:
- 2022-23/01 To construct/create Heritage Room at Ellwood's Hall, Stockinbingal
Submission from applicant (Ellwood’s Hall Committee - Lorna Nixon) for the proposed creation and construction at the Hall to create a new heritage room to this locally listed Heritage Item (I82) “Ellwood's Hall”, 30 Martin St, Stockinbingal.

Recommendation is for the upgrade and new construction at the Hall for the new heritage room to be undertaken in accordance with heritage advisor recommendations with funding of $4,250 (incl GST) from Council’s LHF acceptable for this project.
- 2022-23/02 New concrete paving & accessible entry to St Paul's Church, Nangus
Submission from parishioner/applicant (Kerry Taylor) regarding the new concrete paving & accessible entry to St Paul's Church and although not a locally listed Heritage Item, on review the works proposed suits the criteria of the local heritage fund. Discussion with applicant after submission noted that the Owners approval has not been received for the project and unfortunately the project is ineligible for funding.
- 2022-23/03 Upgrade & external painting to Residence, 12 George St, Wallendbeen Submission from Owner (Anne Chamberlain) for the proposed timber repairs and repainting to this locally listed Heritage Item (I85) “Federation period brick house, fence, trees” at 12 George St, Wallendbeen.

Recommendation for the external painting to the residence to be funded from Council’s LHF as it’s an important project that will improve the streetscape appearance. The works are to be undertaken to Heritage Advisor recommendations with funding of $5,000 (incl. GST) acceptable for this project.
The heritage advisor’s report and assessment forms are under separate attachment to this Council report.
Financial
The Local Heritage fund 2022/23 budget is $11,000 which comprises $5,500 from the NSW Government and $5,500 Council funding.
It is proposed for Council to allocate $9,250 as per the heritage advisors report recommendations. This will leave $1,750 unspent from this year program budget. As the CGRC has been deemed to demerge, the unspent amount should be returned to general funds.

That Council give approval for the Interim General Manager and Mayor to approve contractors to undertake the proposed rehabilitation works under the Roads Maintenance Council Contract on the State Roads. |
Introduction
Discussions have taken place with Transport for NSW in relation to repair works along the State Highways with works expected to commence by the end of October.
Discussion
In the last few weeks Council has been in discussion with Transport for NSW about repair works to sections of waterlogged road pavement along the State Highways, especially the Olympic Highway. At the time of writing the determination of works scope is still being finalised but will require significant pavement excavation and rebuilding.
Presently, there are three separate projects proposed and for Council to undertake this work it will require contractor engagement as the works are outside the scope of Council’s works ability and the works will be undertaken at the same time Council’s works crews will be engaged with the annual heavy patching program on the State roads.
Due to the scope of these works, they will exceed Council’s procurement/tender limits. Since expectations are that these works will be requested to commence by the end of October it will mean that Council does not have time to follow standard procurement procedures to source appropriate tenders from suitably qualified contractors.
When the final scope of works is determined, Council staff will source quotes from suitable contractors who are available to undertake the works with a recommendation being made to the Interim General Manager and Mayor.
Financial
Funded by Transport for NSW.

Introduction
The Civil Works and Technical Services Report for the month of September 2022 is submitted for the information of Council and the community.
Discussion
Fixing Local Roads Projects:
The Warralong Road (Cootamundra) project has seen the open table drain work now completed, ready for pavement works to commence when weather permits.
Works in Cooper Lane (Cootamundra) have now seen the gas mains and connections lowered in preparation for the kerb and gutter installation.
Local Roads & Community Infrastructure (LRCI) Program:
The replacement asphalt footpath has been completed in Hovell Street (Cootamundra) in front of the Salvation Army Store and the pedestrian crossing across Cooper Street (Cootamundra) at the Bourke Street intersection has also been resurfaced.
Ramps have been completed on Mackay and Sutton Streets (Cootamundra) with the new footpath progressing along Sutton Street (Cootamundra) between Muttama Creek and Hurley Street.
State Roads:
Repair works are ongoing on the Olympic Highway north of Cootamundra. Due to continual wet weather a couple of short sections of road are under speed restrictions and traffic control. Council is awaiting confirmation with Transport for NSW about pending pavement designs for the repairs to these sections of roadway.
Bridge Renewal Program:
Construction has been completed on the Brawlin Road Bridge with Council crews completing abutment works this week.
General Works:
Works crews were deployed following the rain event of the 6th October. Cootamundra crews were deployed to close Old Wallendbeen Road (Stockinbingal), Muttama Road and the Cootamundra town crossings at Poole, Adams, Thompson and Hovell Streets as well as clearing debris. Road closures and debris removal activity has been undertaken in response to flooding around the Gundagai area with numerous Council assets affected. Several roads have experienced some pavement deterioration and structural damage to culverts which will need to be rectified.
Wearing surface repairs have been completed on Old Gundagai Road (Cootamundra) and heavy patching works have been completed on Muttama Road.
Culvert cleaning has been carried out on Muttama Road, Old Wallendbeen Road, Silo Road, Milvale Road and Yeo Yeo/Hampstead Roads.
The continual wet weather is creating extensive deterioration of the bitumen road network with crews continuing to undertake reactive maintenance patching as conditions permit.
A section of Gundagai Road between Turners Lane and Jugiong Road (Cootamundra) has been stabilised to repair several bad pavement defects.
