Every year the City of Armadale reviews its five year Corporate Business Plan (CBP) against the City’s Strategic Community Plan (SCP) and takes into account the growth and changes that Armadale is experiencing. The City’s strategic focus is presented in four Future Directions which are the pillars of this plan – Community, Environment, Economy and Leadership. The first year of the Corporate Business Plan becomes the detailed Annual Budget.
The City’s current Strategic Community Plan 2016 – 2031 (SCP) has recently been reviewed and updated following the Growing Armadale community engagement project. The characteristics and challenges which we experience today and expect to continue into the future include:
• Armadale’s population is currently growing at 5.98% (2016) – more than double the WA state average and four times the Australian average
• 51% of our population is under 34 years old
• 0-4 years will be the largest age structure by 2036, representing 8.3% of our population
• An average of 14 people move into the City of Armadale every day of the year
• An average of 29 new homes are built in the City of Armadale every week of the year
• Over $612 million worth of projects were approved by the City in 2014/2015
• Gross Regional Product in the City of Armadale was $2.49 billion in 2014.
Council’s vision for Armadale is of a liveable city that is responsive to community values, appreciative of our natural environment, and provides a choice of lifestyle and work. This plan responds to that vision and identifies the enabling services, programs, new strategies and projects which need to be implemented in an orderly way over the next five years.
The Corporate Business Plan sets out the priorities that the City must focus on to cater for a future population of over 150,000. The strategies and projects identified in the plan include construction of new facilities, opportunities to influence the decisions of government and private enterprise to invest in our region, and efficiencies that will enable best value delivery of services. The plan also identifies key changes in the economic and political environment that may impact on the community and the City’s ability to support projects.
This publication includes the legislative structure that guides how we create the Corporate Business Plan, actions that
respond to the outcomes and strategies adopted by Council in the Strategic Community Plan. Key strategies and projects that require special funding consideration are also included. The City will need to apply clear principles, strong commitment and discipline to enable the achievement of these outcomes over time.
This Corporate Business Plan provides a framework for the City to build on the strengths of Armadale’s location and history, to revitalise assets to ensure that they remain fit for purpose and to capitalise on opportunities to become stronger and even more responsive for the future. It is exciting to see the progress we have made in implementing works from our last Corporate Business Plan and to present this new plan based on the feedback of our community.

Corporate Business Plan 2016 – 2021 3130 City of Armadale
The City of Armadale today is changing rapidly with changes to existing communities and the development of new communities.
Piara Waters Hilbert Haynes Harrisdale
Our population is growing and becoming more diverse and is expected to reach 144,000 by the year 2036.
The need for prudent, but innovative and sustainable, planning has never been greater. Whilst growth will bring new demands Council is also conscious of the needs of long-term residents of the region. The forecast change over the next 20 years is anticipated to be even greater as the City also responds to environmental, economic and political changes in our region.
Accordingly, the Plan is based on those population estimates, which have a flow-on effect in determining rating estimates for residential (primarily), commercial and industrial areas. Over the past 15 years, the City has invested heavily in strategies that will bring growth and investment. The result is two major growth areas – Piara Waters/Harrisdale and the Haynes/Hilbert areas – both of which are west of the current significant population areas. The population estimates for these two regions are shown below broken up into their respective significant land development areas.
Having secured guaranteed growth, the City is better placed to create economies of scale and roll out improved services across its entire population. The following pages provide details of the key projects and strategies (listed below) which are planned for delivery over the next 15 years.

Piara Waters (South East) Community & Sporting FacilityProject Brief
This is one of nine senior-sized sporting grounds required in the North Forrestdale Development sector, and includes a senior-sized playing field and a modest pavilion facility. It is a shared site between the City of Armadale and the Department of Education and Training.
The site comprises public open space co-located with a school site to
create a land parcel large enough to accommodate the proposed grounds and facilities. Responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the site will be shared between the City and the Department of Education through a site-specific agreement, which should result in cost savings to each party in these areas.
It is anticipated that funding for the development will be sourced through Development contributions, Department of Education and Training funding and other government grants.
The specific concept and design of this facility is yet to be determined.

Indoor Aquatic Centre
Project Brief
The Armadale Aquatic Centre was constructed in 1979 and is one of the City’s main recreation facilities with attendances averaging 145,000 per annum. The need to upgrade the Centre and provide an indoor, year-round facility has been the subject of much discussion over the years and several Council reports.
Since the closing of the Kelmscott pool in 2003, there has been increasing public pressure to renovate the Armadale pool to include a heated indoor facility.
The City undertook a comprehensive Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study which supported the need for an indoor aquatic facility to cater for the City’s growing population.
Due to the high cost of the proposed new indoor aquatic facility, and limited external funding for the project, Council was unable to afford the new facility in the short-term but determined to provide for a major upgrade of the existing Armadale Aquatic Centre facilities which was completed in 2012/13.
The concept plan for the redevelopment of the Armadale Aquatic Centre includes an indoor 25 metre pool, leisure pool, foyer, meeting and function rooms, integrated gymnasium and creche service and kiosk. This concept provides a range of services to the community that will meet anticipated demand from the City’s population growth in the long term. The estimated cost of the facility is $26.4 million, staged over a four year period, commencing 2018/19.

Hilbert (West) Community FacilityProject Brief
As part of an overall requirement to establish four community use sites in the Wungong Urban development area, as recommended by the State Government Liveable Neighbourhoods Sustainable Cities initiative, this proposed facility is a 800 square metre, local level Community Centre.
Final usage and design of the planned community use facility will be determined closer to the construction date, however it is important that projects, such as this, are provided for in the City’s forward Plans to ensure that community needs, and adequate asset management, can be catered for in the future.
It is anticipated that funding for the strategic project will be sourced through Development contributions, government grants and loan funds.
The specific concept and design of this facility is yet to be determined.

Harrisdale (North) Community & Sporting Facility
Project Brief
The City’s Community Infrastructure planning work has identified the need for nine senior-sized playing fields in the North Forrestdale Development area to allow for the development of organised sporting and recreation activity.
Through a joint arrangement with the Department of Education and Training, public open space has been co-located with a public primary school site to
enable a senior-sized playing field and a modest pavilion facility to be developed.
Responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the site will be shared between the City and the Department of Education and Training through a site-specific agreement, with one of the objectives being a reduction in costs to both parties in providing these facilities.
Funding for the development is expected to occur via Development contributions, the Department of Education and Training and other government grants.
The specific concept and design of this facility is yet to be determined.

Hilbert District Community CentreProject Brief
The City has undertaken considerable Community Planning work to identify community infrastructure requirements for the western growth areas of Forrestdale and Wungong Urban development areas. This work has identified the need for two district level and two local level community use facilities to help meet the needs of the Wungong Urban Water Development sector.
The State Government has set guidelines for the establishment of
facility types and sizes based on population and demographics and this facility is consistent with the Liveable Neighbourhoods Sustainable Cities initiative.
Dependant on the progression of the Wungong Urban Development, the Hilbert District Community Centre, to be located in the new town centre, is likely to be the first of four community sites developed in this growth area to service the needs of an anticipated population of over 35,000. This proposed facility
is a District level facility of 1,650 square metres that will be able to accommodate a wide range of community based programs and activities.
At this stage it is anticipated that funding for this facility will be sourced through Development contributions and external grants.
The specific concept and design of this facility is yet to be determined.

Workforce Planning
Project Brief
The City has undertaken Workforce Planning. This is a structured ‘business thinking process’ to ensure that the actions in our Corporate Business Plan can be delivered on time, within budget and at a standard commensurate with community expectations. It considers all potential resourcing options, direct employment, contracting out, partnerships and changing business activities to recruit the types of talent required.
The Workforce Planning process informs the Corporate Business Plan which is
linked to the City’s Strategic Community Plan. It identifies the talent needs created by our continued growth and our key projects and strategies. Once the business initiatives are recognised, the attention turns to schedule and timing.
By understanding the number and types of roles required to meet future demands, Workforce Planning can also inform other management imperatives for example office accommodation needs, vehicle numbers and types, communications and related information technologies.
The following estimates provide for:-
• 10 full time positions for the next two years, seven full time positions each year for the next five years, and four full time positions each year for the remaining years, and
• three new vehicles every year
and are separate to additional resources funded through external grants, increased fees/charges and by programs and projects.

Asset Management PlanningProject Brief
Asset Management Plans (AMP’s) have been developed for the five major asset classes as follows – roads, stormwater drainage, pathways, buildings and public open spaces.
Asset Management is the ‘combination of management, financial, economic, and engineering and other practices applied to physical assets with the objective of
providing the required level of service in the most cost-effective manner’.
The purpose of the AMP’s is to identify Levels of Service that the community needs and can afford and develop the necessary funding plans to provide the services.
The funding provided over the next 15 years in the major asset classes for
capital new (the creation of a new asset, in a location where that asset type has not existed before) and renewal/upgrade (periodically required expenditure which is capitalised and then depreciated as it renews / replaces component or sub component parts of an infrastructure asset) is as follows. (NB: that Civil includes roads, stormwater drainage and pathway assets.)

Civic Precinct Reserve ProvisioningProject Brief
With the projected population growth within the City expected to reach nearly 144,000 by 2036, it is expected that the current civic precinct and administration facilities will not provide the level of amenity and service required by residents.
The rapidly growing community of Armadale has a right to expect a civic precinct and administration complex that provides the breadth and range of services in a prosperous regional centre.
This strategy contains provisioning for a major expansion project, still to be defined, that will provide an appropriate civic precinct. Reserve funds will most likely be adjusted to also include borrowings (within the City’s borrowing strategy constraints).

50 City of Armadale Corporate Business Plan 2016 – 2021 51
Consequently, new initiatives may be added or planned initiatives may be deferred, or even deleted, according to the priorities established by Council each annual review. Methods to fund the initiatives are also reviewed in order to demonstrate affordability within the region for proposed initiatives.
Financial Plan
Assumptions and MethodologiesAll revenues and expenditures contained in this Plan are indicative only and should not be construed that the figures contained herein will automatically be allocated exactly as shown, nor will they automatically be funded exactly as described. Financial projections are reviewed regularly, and take into account many factors including economic conditions, community expectations and estimated population and development rates. The annual review is an ongoing part of Council’s sound financial management process.
It is important to note that an initiative is not ultimately approved, nor automatically included, in any budget simply because it is considered and included in any Corporate Business Plan produced by Council.
Key Elements of the Financial PlanThe Plan has been prepared on the basis that each year of the Plan will return a balanced year-end financial position, ie. the sum of the revenues equals the sum of the expenditures, with minimal or no forecast year-end surplus or deficit positions.
A rate growth factor of 2% in year 2016/17, 1.5% in years 2017/18 and 2018/19 and thereafter 1% each year, has been applied. This will fund new expenditure initiatives considered essential to the City’s future economic prosperity and sustainability.
A Managed Loan Borrowing Program has been established, which restricts loan borrowings to purposes of asset and infrastructure operation and requires that loan repayments not exceed 10% of the City’s operating revenue.
Recognition of the City’s future asset renewal requirements over the life of the Plan are recognised in two ways. The first is that where a new initiative requires renewal within the life of the Plan, then that renewal is funded at the appropriate year of the Plan. The second is in the key project/strategy called Asset Management Planning which relates to renewal of existing infrastructure assets.
Recognition of future rate revenues arising from projected new residential development is included within the Rates Revenue estimates. It is assumed that approximately 1,500 new residential properties will be developed each year.
Other points to note include• All $ values are in 2016/17 dollars• Revenue is expressed as a negative value, expense is
expressed as a positive value• Rounding errors may occur.
