· War Memorial

§ Robert Winter reported that he had attended a meeting with three members of the historical society and Lillian Cullen (Heritage Architect SC) about the access issue with the War Memorial. Despite the fact that it is a heritage listed site, dropping the fence around the memorial and installing lighting should be permissible if done tastefully and with the consent of the Returned Services League.

§ Carey Duggan reported on the progress of the events planned for the next International Day of People with a Disability, to be held on 3^rd December. He has been in contact with a number of companies and will have a more conclusive list by the next committee meeting. It was decided that the companies that do participate in the expo will be included in a PowerPoint presentation that will run on continuous loop at the exhibition.

§ Wendell Peacock reported that she had attended an Access Exercise on the Central Coast with Lake Macquarie Council whereby members of the council were invited to participate in a ‘walk a morning in my shoes’ exercise, which promotes understanding and awareness of the day to day issues that affect people with disabilities. This involved numerous teams of 3 people, with one member of the team being affected with a disability by way of wheelchairs, vision impairment goggles etc. The teams were then given a list of activities they had to complete in and around the town. It was decided that this would be a good activity to incorporate into the IFPWD. Wendell is to receive the information from Lake Macquarie Council and will report back to the next committee meeting.

§ A number of organisations had offered to provide space for the exhibition including the library, youth centre, Uniting Church and the Town Square Shopping Centre.

§ ACTION: Norm to co-ordinate with Wendell regarding structure of the Access Exercise morning.

· Singleton / Muswellbrook Train Station

§ Carey Duggan reported he has observed that there is no ramp available on the train at either the Singleton or Muswellbrook to assist with boarding and exiting. Instead, the ramp is kept in the station master’s office, which is problematic if there is no staff available.

§ ACTION: Wendell Peacock will discuss this issue with Steve Warham at Singleton Council and report back to the next meeting.

· Civic Video Sign

§ Norm MacPherson has been in contact with Civic Video, who are co-operating by moving the sign.

· Thursday 18^th June - 9am to 5pm: One day workshop aimed at Council planners, certifiers and maintenance staff, which will also include all council parks staff. To include discussion on Access and the Building and Premises Act. This workshop will also be open to committee members.

· Thursday 18^th June – 6:30pm to 8:30pm (to be confirmed): aimed specifically at the Disability Advisory Committee to discuss possible future directions of the committee.

All sessions will be held at the Youth Centre.

· ACTION: Wendell to formalise invitation to committee members once the training workshops are confirmed.

· Access between Gowrie St Mall and Franklins Shopping Complex

§ Norm MacPherson noted that access between the southern end of the Gowrie St Mall and the Franklins shopping complex was inadequate. It was noted that there are currently two issues contributing to this issue;

· There is no apron on the southern end of the path adjoining the Gowrie St Mall and this results in having to enter the path of oncoming traffic from the crossing in front of Jay Jay’s.

· There is no pedestrian crossing across Gowrie Street, and no alternative for safe passage.

Michael Launders arrived (2:10pm)

· Michael Launders advised that the council had been looking at options for the safe passage between Gowrie St Mall and the bus stop, which could include an apron on the footpath. On the issue of a crossing between the two shopping centres; he advised that the appropriate action would be to write to the Local Traffic Committee who will then address it at the Council operations meeting.

· Rose Point Complex

§ This was brought up, but not really discussed in any great detail, apart from the clutter surrounding the footpath in front of Mitre 10.

· York St / George St / Boundary St Intersection

§ Norm Macpherson noted that the access at the York / George St Intersection was non-compliant as the aprons were too narrow and steep. Also there is no adequate way to cross either York or Boundary Streets at the intersection. In addition, vehicles turning right from York St to George St do not have a dedicated light in the traffic signals, and it has been observed that some motorists do not take appropriate care whilst pedestrians are crossing the road, despite the fact that they have a green light to do so. Michael Launders advised that he would obtain the original audit conducted for this intersection.

· ACTION: Norm will compose letter outlining to the Local Traffic Committee with the three issues noted above. Robert Winter to also bring these issues to the attention of the Traffic Committee at the next meeting on June 11^th.

Norm MacPherson left meeting (2:15pm)

· BWS & Future Developments – Splaying Corners

§ Michael advised that the corner on the new BWS development in Kent St would be splayed so that motorists would be able to see pedestrian traffic as there would be limited visibility otherwise. He also said that there may be a ‘honk your horn’ system to advise pedestrians of approaching traffic. There are currently a number of instances of the splayed corners in Singleton, and this would also be used in future developments.

· Presentation by Michael Launders on the Local Traffic Committee

§ Michael Launders gave a presentation on the function and processes of the Local Traffic Committee. The RTA delegates certain aspects of roads to the local council, who in turn delegates the resolution of certain problems to the Local Traffic Committee. The LTC is comprised of a representative from the Council, Police, RTA and the Local Member, who make recommendations to the council. Public access to these LTC meetings is granted so that somebody is able to present their case.

Linda Feenan left meeting (2:40pm)

Michael Launders left meeting (2:45pm)

· Singleton Council Community Forum

§ Julie Crebert advised that she and Brian had attended the Singleton Heights session of the Community Forum held by Singleton Council. She commended the council for the forum and said that it was an excellent opportunity for the public to speak to councilors directly and address concerns. Julie raised the issue of access to footpaths on Blaxland Ave and the fact that there were no public toilets available at the Heights shopping village at the forum and said that overall it was extremely well done.

Meeting closed at 3.05pm

Next Meeting 4^th August 1pm at the Youth Venue.

SINGLETON COUNCIL	Meeting of Singleton Council - 3 August 2009

	Manager Community Services Report No. 9/09

Community Infrastructure Program

Author: Jennifer Blythe; Alan Fletcher

FILE: 09/0132

Executive Summary:

An additional $220 million in grant funding has been announced as part of the Australian Government Community Infrastructure Program. Of this $147,000 will be available to Singleton Council subject to submission of acceptable project applications. Further funding will be available for additional larger strategic projects on a competitive basis.

This report includes a list of projects and recommendations for submissions for the $147,000 available.

Background:

The Australian Government has announced an additional $220 million in grant funding has been made available to Councils for investment in community infrastructure via the Community Infrastructure Program. This funding builds on the $800 million already committed to the Community Infrastructure Program since November 2008.

The $220 million will be delivered through two streams of the Community Infrastructure Program.

1. $100 million is being allocated to all 566 of Australia’s Councils on a formula basis

2. $120 million for larger Strategic Projects will be available on a competitive basis.

Guidelines for both streams will be released later in 2009. Council staff members have spoken to the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government and were advised that although the Guidelines have not yet been released they are likely to be similar to the first round.

Under the $100 million component Singleton Council has been allocated $147,000.

This report lists and recommends a number of projects for which Singleton Council would be able to make funding submissions to utilise the $147,000 available.

Details of the competitive Strategic Projects funding will be provided to Council, with a list of recommended projects, once the guidelines are released.

The purpose of the funding is to assist Councils build and modernise community facilities including town halls, libraries, community centres, sports grounds and environmental infrastructure.

Councils will be required to submit proposals to claim their allocation of funding. Council officers have prepared a list of projects for consideration for this purpose. This list is based on the list of potential projects presented to Council on 1 December 2008, when Council made recommendation to submit applications for funding for (1) Replacement of the amenities building for Junior Rugby League and Cricket at James Cook Park, and (2) provision of a Lockable Art Shed at the Singleton Youth Venue as part of the previous funding available through the Community Infrastructure Program.

The list has been updated in that the Junior Rugby League and Lockable Art Shed projects have been removed. The All Abilities Playground has also been removed as this project has been substantially funded by Xstrata Coal NSW. Civic Park Touch Football amenities has received NSW Department of Sport & Recreation Capital assistance funding. Cycleway projects have commenced and have also been removed from this list. An additional project has been included for Singleton Netball Association. Following further consultation with Singleton Netball Association it has been confirmed that their main priority is for the installation of floodlights for six new courts. Provision of a new amenities building is their second priority as the floodlights will enable additional competitions to be conducted and this will generate additional income for the Association.

The projects are listed below:

Projects	Location	Progress to Date	Comments	Estimated Cost ex GST ($)

Singleton Visitor Information Centre construction	$51,000
