KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
WelcomeKangaroo Island Council is pleased to present the 2015–16 Annual Report
and Audited Financial Statements. It is presented in three sections.
Section 1 reviews our performance through the lens of our work area priorities as set out in the Kangaroo Island Strategic Management Plan 2014–2018 namely: Infrastructure, Community & Island Culture, Collaboration, Supporting our Economy, Our Island, and Our Organisation. Our Shared Vision is covered in the Mayor’s and CEO’s messages. In this section we also review our performance against the Kangaroo Island Council 2015–16 Annual Business Plan.
Section 2 covers Governance and Section 3, Finance.
The year’s achievements as reflected in this report demonstrate how Council has delivered on its three strategic imperatives those being:
• Cost Reduction
• Revenue
• Stimulus/Service.
Given the challenges around financial sustainability, and our capability to deliver being driven by optimizing the revenue/cost balance, we grouped our strategic aims into these three key imperatives, because in essence, they underpin our approach to setting and achieving sustainable outcomes not only for our Organisation, but for the Community. To date, we have assessed our progress against these imperatives and have achieved:
• Cost Reduction – 66%
• Revenue – 49%
• Stimulus/Service – 63%.
Overall we have achieved 60% of the plan in the first two years with many of the objectives now embedded into the way the business works.
We would like to thank our Elected Members, the Commissioner for Kangaroo Island, our staff and volunteers for their dedicated service in helping to make this a year of achievement.
We also want to thank those members of our Community whose active citizenship and commitment plays a crucial role in the maintenance and development of our local communities. Your leadership is invaluable and it goes beyond what Council alone can do. We thank you for your contribution.
Peter Clements Andrew Boardman Mayor Chief Executive Officer

Message from the MayorOne of the highlights of my time as Mayor has been to witness a positive shift in Community
attitudes. This comes at a time when the Island itself has been transforming – from a sleepy
regional, rural destination, into a significant contributor to the South Australian economy.
Kangaroo Island Council has also undergone a transformation. It has moved from a position of non-sustainability to one where we can see sustainability within the long term financial plan – a great achievement. Our continuing positive results are evident in the latest audited financial reports, but they could not have happened without a committed team of people who make up the Council Administration, driven by a dynamic CEO and Executive, and the Elected Member body. We are blessed with people who have a passion for our Island’s successful, but cautious, development.
As Mayor it is my task to understand the pulse of the Community, to respond to it, to show strong leadership within Council and to unite Elected Members in a common understanding of what is best for the Community.
We are at a turning point and our Community is faced with some great opportunities that will underpin long term sustainability. Kangaroo Island is moving inextricably towards becoming a high value and unique place for visitation on the world stage and it is vitally important how we portray ourselves within this highly competitive market. We must excel in all our business practices and particularly customer service. We market ourselves to the world as clean, green and pristine but there is also much to be done to fully realise this position.
We are in the process of developing a strong and sustainable vision for the Island, one that considers where we will be in 20, 30 and 40 years’ time. Our mission is to design the strategies that will lead us to our end goals and plan the journey to take us there.
While there is much to do to achieve our shared vision, there is also much to be left alone. We cannot go down the path of wholesale development nor can we steal our children’s future by selling our inheritance to the highest bidder. The future directions for Kangaroo Island are in the hands of the elected and other leaders within the community. Please support them, speak up, be positive, and make your opinion count as we journey together towards a sustainable future.
Mayor Peter Clements

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Message from the CEOI am pleased to report 2015–16 was another year of quiet achievement for Council. We focused
on consolidating the works undertaken in the previous four years, and we delivered significant
positive change to the way we approach work, perform, and how we communicate and
collaborate with our Community.
At the close of the fifth year as CEO, I have taken time to reflect on the journey – the ups and downs and the achievements of this Council, and there have been many. As always the commitment of Staff and willingness of the majority to change the way they work has made the difficult easier, and I am proud to say that we have an organisation that is forward-looking, collaborative and delivering excellent outcomes for our Community.
The first four years saw some major changes to staffing numbers, allocated duties and questions asked of everything that we do – and this has delivered some significant success. We have had five years of better than budget financial results, six years of unqualified audits and some great steps forward towards our goal of financial sustainability. The past twelve months have seen the team pull together and really start to focus on the detail…the little things that will make a significant difference in the long term. It is pleasing to see that in 2015–16 Staff have once more delivered the budget under cost and over revenue, enabling another unqualified audit.
This basic business management of our organisation has been delivered against a backdrop of questioning, learning, discussion, change, initiative, negotiation and a building sense of excitement as we have worked with the Futures Authority and then the Commissioner for Kangaroo Island to start to address the fundamentals that our Island Community needs in order to thrive
into the future. We have participated in a wide range of work to ensure that we are well-informed on the range of issues that affect our everyday lives, and ensured that at all stages we have been able to represent our organisation and Community to ensure that outcomes are as good as they can be for us all.
The announcement of the airport upgrade has engendered significant third party interest in the Island and, in addition to working on core Council projects, we are also working with the Golf Course and American River developers, among others, to facilitate their projects – the positive impact on our rates revenue, employment and for the Island’s economy in general, is vitally important for the future and we will continue to assist where we can to see these become successful additions to our tourism and business communities.
Next year will be a very busy year for Council. We need to continue the disciplined approach to managing cost and optimising revenue in our core operations as well as driving the major projects that we are undertaking. Our organisation must continue to develop in order to respond to the changing demands that will be placed upon us, and our challenge is to maintain the excellent results we have generated over the past five years.
Andrew Boardman, CEO
KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2016
InfrastructureThe responsible management and provision of essential Council services
An essential requirement of functional communities is quality infrastructure, and Council works hard to deliver infrastructure that will provide good service well into the future. The size of our Island compared to the the size of our ratepayer base does pose some unique challenges and to assist, we seek State and Federal Government funding, and offer Capital Infrastructure grants to local Community groups. Council managed infrastructure includes roads, boat ramps/jetties, airport, water, sewerage, ovals, pools, playgrounds, campgrounds and Council owned buildings.

Airport Upgrade Grant
Most in the Community would acknowledge that cost – and ease – of access is a considerable issue for the Island. It was therefore a significant step when Council announced in December 2015, that it had successfully secured $9M from the Commonwealth National Stronger Regions Fund, matched by $9M from our State Government to fund the $18M Upgrade of
Kangaroo Island Airport. When operational, it will create a paradigm shift in access for the Island.
With a longer, stronger airstrip and a new terminal building that can manage the additional security arrangements for larger aircraft, we will see this project commence construction in early 2017 and complete in late 2017. Discussions
are in hand with airlines for additional services – direct from Melbourne and Sydney to the Island – which will address the timeliness and ease of access issues for east coast and international visitors, and allow our niche, high-value, short-shelf-life produce access to the lucrative east coast and international markets.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Construction
The Penneshaw Community Wastewater Management System was a critical project to have commenced this year, following the confirmation of a $4.11M grant towards the $5.2M scheme. An adjacent area of Penneshaw was not covered under the defined scheme however the affected residents were keen to be included. Council committed to constructing an extension to include them, provided it could deliver the defined scheme on time and on budget, which it did. As a result, Council has budgeted $350,000 for the construction of the extension area in line with the Community’s request. The defined scheme is scheduled to be commissioned in November 2016 with the extension area to follow once it is completed.
In other loo news, Pennington Bay has long needed a good public toilet facility to service the many tourists and surfers who visit this pristine location. This year we installed a new enviro-loo in response to Community and environmental need.
This year also saw the completion of Stage 1 of the Brownlow to Kingscote and the Penneshaw shared use paths. Both pathways were sealed to ensure availability all year round, with a minor section of the Penneshaw sealing held up due to CWMS related roadworks. These strategic trail initiatives were supported by a $200,000 DPTI Local Government Stimulus Program Grant in 2013–14. Both are great to walk, run or ride on while enjoying spectacular sea views and are well used by residents and visitors. They provide safe, easy access to services, shops, schools and town centres. Stage 2 of the Brownlow to Kingscote Shared Use Path (from the Yacht Club to the Ozone Hotel) will be undertaken in 2016-17 following a successful grant application for $100,000 from the DPTI Open Spaces program.
This section of the path will link to a newly constructed whale watching platform overlooking Nepean Bay – the outcome of a successful Council-led joint grant application with DEWNR, Dolphin Watch and AKPA to secure Federal Department of Environment funding. The Platform forms part of The Whale Trail Program, which aims to establish a national network of land based whale observation sites as part of the Whale and Dolphin Protection plan.

In unsealed roads, we completed our fifth year managing the DPTI $2M Unsealed Road Upgrade Program. This year’s funds were used to complete the Harriett and Springs Roads upgrades. On Kangaroo Island, $2M supports between 25 and 35 kilometers of road reconstruction to modern standards. All works under this program have improved our high use routes and allowed us to reduce maintenance costs.

Council also undertook works on the following projects – all of which were grant funded:
• Bay of Shoals fishing access breakwater extension
• American River breakwater
• Todd Street beach access path.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Planning
This year Council adopted the revised Infrastructure Asset Management Plan, a critical planning document enabling Council to assess and forward plan the infrastructure needs of Kangaroo Island in line with adopted service levels. It informs each of our Infrastructure Renewal, Upgrade, and New Programs. The financial projections for the next 10 years for capital and maintenance expenditure are incorporated into Council’s Long Term Financial Plan as we work towards financial sustainability.
We also participated in the four-yearly review of the 2020 Transport Plan for the Southern & Hills Local Government Association, with the revised plan to be released in 2016–17. This plan identifies regionally and locally significant roads that service freight, local access, and tourism use, based on defined attributes such as tonnage of freight moved, vehicle counts, type of vehicles travelling on the road, identified townships or settlements, and number of tourist visits to attractions located on the road. The Plan facilitates access to State and Federal grants, particularly Heavy Vehicles Safety and Productivity Program funding and Special Local Roads Program funding, the latter having previously been used for the resealing of Cape Willoughby Road and the sealing of Stokes Bay Road.
Community Capital Infrastructure Grants Program
This year the Kangaroo Island Council Community Capital Infrastructure Grants Program 2015–16 allocated $170,000 to eight Community projects aiming to enhance the built environment through sporting, recreational, Community, or club facilities. These projects have a combined value of $435,528 with Council contributing 39% in funding. Every $1.00 Council contributed was matched by $1.56 from the Community in cash, funding or in-kind support.

During the past four years, Council’s Community Capital Infrastructure Grant Program has contributed $681,104 towards 31 Community projects with a combined project value of $1,822,766. Eight are valued at over $100,000 and 10 leveraged funding through co-contribution with other grants programs. In all, Council has contributed 37% in funding towards the value of these projects.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Town Hall Upgrade
The Kingscote Town Hall & Council Offices building is one of the many local heritage-listed buildings on Kangaroo Island, and was overdue for an external upgrade. The internal upgrade occurred in 2006–07 through a separate funding stream with the Federal Government. The freshly painted exterior complements the previous work, and the renewal has allowed a much needed tidy-up of the outside façade, brightening the entire commercial precinct. Many thanks to The Gallery for advising on the colour scheme.
Utilities
Discussions continued throughout the year with SA Power Networks (SAPN) and other parties in relation to their application for the renewal of the sub-sea power cable. The Commissioner for Kangaroo Island formed an Energy Working Group which included key users, State
Government and Council to review progress and to assist with putting the case together prior to submission to the Australian Energy Regulator. The submission was successful and SAPN have the mandate to replace the cable in the 2015-2020 Regulatory Period. The approval is conditional upon other steps being carried out prior to committing to the work and these are in hand as we write.
On prompting from Council and the Commissioner, SAPN have committed to installing substantial additional fibre-optic communication cable within the body of the power cable. This would provide a direct hard link between the NBN/Telstra fibre-optic cable on the mainland, and the fibre-optic backbone on the Island. This has the potential to remove the limit on available bandwidth for data and voice communication in the future.
Council and the Commissioner have also been in discussion with
SA Water concerning the impacts of the proposed major developments on the Island on the availability of potable water through either Middle River or the Penneshaw desalination plant. It is understood that SA Water have reassessed their future needs plan based on new projected demand figures and they will report their findings formally to the Community in late 2016.
Prospect Hill
Sadly, Council had to close the steps leading to the much visited lookout at the top of Prospect Hill this summer – a necessary move after 35 plus years, owing to serious degradation of the main supporting structure. Design engineers were appointed and designs have been completed and are ready for tender. Once pricing is understood then Council, SA Tourism Commission and DEWNR will work together to identify grant funding options for their reconstruction.

Community and Island CultureSupporting our Diverse Community and Culture
Supporting our Community and promoting Island Culture are part of Council’s lifeblood. We are highly active in partnering and providing direct support to Community initiatives. Our grants programs in particular support Community priorities and activities. Through them we open up opportunities for local Community organisations who can use those grants to attract further funding to the Island. We also host major civic celebrations and awards ceremonies, work side by side with community volunteers, and support Community endeavours in tourism, youth, arts, sport, heritage, business and community services.
Grants and Sponsorship
Council gave the community services sector a boost this year by way of a special $30,000 sponsorship ($10,000 over three years) to Junction Australia to help establish a much needed community hub in Kingscote.
A further $30,000 was set aside for the Community Partnership Grants Scheme and Youth Grant Sponsorship Program, awarding almost $25,000 in Community Partnership Grants on Australia Day 2016.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
The Youth Grant Sponsorship Program 2015–16 saw $3,400 distributed to eight applicants. Five pursued education related activities in Australia and overseas, and one a sporting competition on the mainland. Two allocations of $1,000 were granted for youth community workshops, to take place in 2016–17.
Council’s Sponsorship Program continued to be well-utilised. Designed to ease the burden on the Island’s not-for-profit groups it offers full or part sponsorship for the use of Council facilities and ovals and other services such as DA fees, road closures, signage, labour, and water pumping power charges. This year we granted 51 sponsorships valued at over $26,700. Since the Program began in 2012-13, Council has contributed $61,500 in value.
Council also assists Community organisations wishing to apply for State and Federal funding. The successful 2016 Recreational Fishing Grant for the Vivonne Bay Beach access ramp was one such example where Council worked closely with the Community to achieve a funding outcome of $19,419. We also worked with AKPA on their successful application to the ANZAC Day Commemoration Fund for a WW11 Soldiers’ Memorial Park Project – ANZAC and Beyond.
Celebrations and Awards
The civic highlights of our year: Settlement Day, Remembrance Day, Australia Day and ANZAC Day were all marked by commemorative events. It is a pleasure for Council staff to work with local organisations such as RSL, Kangaroo Island Community Education, AKPA and Hope Cottage, to create civic ceremonies that help us celebrate our nation and remember the fallen who made our nation possible.
17
KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Our 179th celebration of Settlement Day on 27 July 2015 also saw the announcement of the Young Achiever of the Year Awards. James Snowball won the Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement and Seth Whale for Outstanding Youth Leadership.
On Australia Day 2016, the Citizen of the Year Award was jointly won jointly by Alan Henderson for Voluntary Services to the Community, and Elizabeth Dieckmann for Services to Education. American River Community & Sports Association Inc. won Event of the Year for the American River Gala Day 2015, while the Community Project of the Year was awarded to Rebuild Independence Group R.I.G. for the R.I.G. Project
Joint Community Projects
One of the outstanding community projects to be undertaken by Council in partnership with the Community this year was the commencement of a MedSTAR landing point (Helipad). Project managed and partially funded by Council, the Helipad will be finalised in October 2016. Council thanks all of the Community groups, organisations,
Jane Guider receives Event of the Year Award from Mayor Peter Clements
associations and individuals who so readily supported the Helipad project. The response was fantastic and a great reflection on the strength of this Island’s Community spirit. Council acknowledges Tony Wilson for his significant donation of labour, plant, equipment and rubble and would also like to thank the following key financial contributors:
• KI Rotary
• KI Health Care Auxiliary Inc. on behalf of the community
• Health Advisory Council
• KI Lions
• Larry Turner, Eucalyptus Distillery
• Penneshaw Progress Association
• Parndana Progress Association.
Another great example of Council and the Community working together to achieve excellent outcomes is the new Council/Community Working Bee Program. This initiative was piloted in Parndana. Each month for half a day, two or three Parks and Gardens staff travelled to Parndana with machines and equipment to assist local volunteers tidy up areas of their choice around the township. Parndana Progress Association advised on tasks and equipment up to three months in advance, to help Council with planning. The pilot was a great success and will be rolled out to other townships in 2016–17.
Another joint project of note which provides benefit to Community groups and greater efficiencies to Council is the successful local amenities cleaning contract initiative. So far, Parndana Progress Association, Baudin Beach Progress Association and Stokes Bay Hall Committee have taken up the opportunity for this steady income stream with local volunteers rostered on to clean the amenities. The system is working well and everyone benefits.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Working with the Commissioner for Kangaroo Island
Council is working with the Commissioner to address the significant lack of affordable housing on the Island. We sit on the Commissioner’s Housing Management Plan Local Advisory Board, working with State agencies, service providers and the Commissioner to consider the issues associated with the housing shortage, and ways to address the shortfall and quality of available housing.
On behalf of the Commissioner, we have also been managing a consultancy developing a Live KI website/digital Prospectus in conjunction with key stakeholder groups such as KI Industry & Brand Alliance. The aim of the Prospectus is to support the attraction of new residents to Kangaroo Island. This project will be completed in 2016–17. It is anticipated that this work will align with the Commissioner’s Workforce Planning Project in 2016–17.
An additional consultancy run in parallel with this project, Connect KI, is looking at how we can create connectivity between the Island Community, off-Island ratepayers and other interested parties for the purposes of collaboration on Community projects, business ventures and similar opportunities. This work is progressing and we are working with Business KI as the coordinating body for this initiative.
Community Passenger Network
During 2015–16, the Kangaroo Island Community Passenger Network (CPN) provided 364 passenger trips to transport disadvantaged community members, and a further 434 trips via the Rockhopper. Use of the Rockhopper has increased – tourists use the service to get to attractions, and residents to come into Kingscote. Unfortunately the changing funding requirements initiated within 2015–16 by the State and Federal Governments, and associated changes in the direction of the program in the future, resulted in Council being unable to act as an auspice agency for the CPN as of 30 June 2016. Council is still supporting the Rockhopper and will continue to provide administrative support for it in 2016-17.
Improving Communication with the Community
This year we increased our use of Kangaroo Island Council’s Facebook page for communicating notifications such as the opening dates of awards, grants, public consultations, road closures and sharing of photos from civic events, leading to a steady increase in page Likes since the beginning of the year.
E-payments
Council introduced new pay stations to Kangaroo Island Airport and Penneshaw’s North Terrace to help optimise parking revenue, streamline processing and provide greater convenience for customers. We will be introducing e-payments at all boat ramps for boat launch permits, and are planning to do the same at Vivonne Bay campground for camping permits in the coming year. Dog registration renewal payments could also be made online this year.
Library
With the introduction of the Library ‘One Card’ Kangaroo Island Library members have been able to use their Library card to borrow and return items from any library in the State (more than 130 Libraries across South Australia). Members also have access to visit the online catalogue from our website, extend items and manage their own membership account at www.kangarooisland.sa.gov.au/library.
Kangaroo Island Council Library recognises the importance of having volunteers and values their commitment. During the year we advertised for expressions of interest to become a Library volunteer. We now have four Community members volunteering their time to assist with Library services.
‘Storytime’ in the Library continued throughout the year. The popular program, which has been running every Wednesday at 11.00am since 2013, this year attracted 518 attendees to the reading, singing and craft sessions.
Regional Health Plan
This year we adopted the Regional Health Plan and provided our first report back to SA Health which reflected our ongoing involvement in the KI Health Advisory Council, the KI Strategic Housing Plan, Families SA, DEWNR, NRMB, and KICE.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
CollaborationCross government relations
Kangaroo Island Council continues to work closely with State Government and the Commissioner for Kangaroo Island, Wendy Campagna, to improve leveraging of resources and to ensure the Island’s businesses and organisations are best placed to experience growth. Council also works collaboratively with local, regional and federal government agencies, Island-based peak bodies and our local Community to achieve positive outcomes for the Island.
Working with the KI Commissioner
Major initiatives where Council worked collaboratively with the Commissioner for Kangaroo Island included:
• Airport Upgrade funding
• Commissioner’s Transformation Project (Stage 1 driven by Airport Upgrade project)
• KI Economic Development Outlook Report
• Discussions with Utility providers SAPN and SA Water
• Housing Management Plan Local Advisory Board
• Live KI website/digital Prospectus
• Connect KI – web based data collaboration forum
Environment and Climate
In association with KINRM and members of the Community, Council is helping to deal with a serious environmental issue for the Island, feral cat control. Through this collaboration, protocols were established enabling KINRM, Council and members of the Community to capture feral cats in cat traps and follow through with efficient, cost effective destruction. Any trapped cats identified as pets were reunited with their owners. We also hosted the Dog and Cat Management Board’s AGM and attended to discuss the feral cat issue.
In partnership with PIRSA, DEWNR, and Community representatives, Council is finalising the development of the Flood Mitigation Options Study. This study grew out of the significant rainfall event experienced in the MacGillivray/Haines district in June 2013, inundating agricultural land and public roads and preventing access into properties and some tourist destinations for an extended period. The associated substantial loss of productivity warranted the Kangaroo Island Flood Recovery Committee to pursue the investigation of options for flood mitigation in the form of internal or external drainage, or a water management network capable of handling exceptional events and maintaining lagoon water at acceptable levels.
20
KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Council also contributed to a Draft Resilient Hills and Coasts Regional Climate Adaptation Plan considering the impacts of climate change and how this might affect Kangaroo Island. Its key aim is to strengthen the resilience of our communities, economies and natural environment, to respond and adapt to the changing climate. Project partners included Community, business, government, industry, academia, Natural Resources Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges, KINRM, Regional Development Australia, and Southern & Hills LGA.
Roads and Transport
The road safety education program Drive Enjoy Survive, the result of a 2014–15 DPTI grant, was further developed this year in collaboration with DPTI, Sealink, KIRSC, Tourism KI, KIX-FM and members of the Community. An important project targeting international tourists, Drive Enjoy Survive provides information on how to drive safely
on Kangaroo Island’s roads. This year touch screens with Expect the Unexpected videos in six languages were installed at the Cape Jervis Sealink terminal and at Kangaroo Island Airport. We especially thank the six Community members who kindly volunteered their time and skills to translate and record the film script into Italian, German, French, Mandarin, Indonesian and Hindi. In addition, postcards referring tourists to the website are being handed out to accommodation providers.
At a Community level, two great road safety outcomes were achieved as a direct result of the collaborative efforts between Council, DPTI, KIRSC, SIRPA and RAA. Together we achieved reduced speed limits along Island Beach Road, Island Beach, in the area of the shop, and past the school on Wedgewood Road, Parndana. Speed limits along these sections of road have been a great concern to the local community for many years, so these were welcome announcements.
Grants
Good working relationships with funding providers DPTI, Recreational Fishing SA, Office of Recreation & Sport SA and our Community members helped us secure positive outcomes for this year’s grant applications including for the Vivonne Bay beach access ramp, Emu Bay jetty steps, Brownlow-Kingscote shared use path (stage 2) and Parndana walking trail design.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2016
Our IslandHealthy natural and cultural environment
Our natural environment has had a major impact on the success of Island businesses and lifestyle. While much of the Island’s environmental sustainability rests with DEWNR and KINRM, Council is responsible for its own land, and for sustaining the health and cleanliness of our public areas, both visually and through our waste management systems. Council is also involved in large scale and long term issues affecting the Island such as planning for the effects of climate change.
Waste Management and Collection
This year we began investigating better economies of scale for our waste management and collection practices, working together with FRWA. Under review is the kerbside collection process, and potentially the introduction of larger recycling bins to encourage and improve our recycling rates. Green waste bins are also being considered for urban areas. Public consultation and any changes to implementation will be rolled out next financial year.
Landfill capping at KIWRRC went ahead this year with the completion of Stage 2 of the Landfill Capping Program. All the old garbage and waste cells which had previously been lying in the open are now capped to a complying standard, and putrescent waste is now shipped off Island. This EPA directive cost $80,000, with a further $40,000 needing to be spent next year to finish the job. The capped site also gives us a clean, well-drained area for the storage of used steel which can’t be sold at a profit due to low world commodity prices.
To ensure ongoing environmental monitoring of KIRRC, Council worked with the EPA in 2015-16 and submitted a management plan for the closed landfill and gas and water monitoring. Environmental management plans for the CWMS were also reviewed with the EPA, for submission in September 2016.
Wastewater Management
We addressed wastewater management in Kingscote with the installation of new CWMS bypass lines in Todd and Buller Streets, replacing the original lines which had reached the end of their useful lives.
Pit Remediation
Council continued to implement its Pit Remediation Program, rehabilitating a number of paddocks and properties where road material
“borrow pits” have been created. Once the pit, or section of the pit has been used, Council reduces the slopes by backfilling the pit with the topsoil and other soil where required. This is an ongoing program and one where we work closely with landowners.

Sustainable future
Part of our preparations for hosting the Small Islands of the World Conference in 2017 involved our attending the 2016 Conference in Greece. A special allocation was set aside for Mayor Peter Clements to attend on behalf of Kangaroo Island Council. In 2017 the conference will be held in Kangaroo Island and we will be playing host to speakers from around the world who specialise in key aspects of supporting island life and culture. We intend to benefit from the shared knowledge, and apply the best ideas here.
23
KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Supporting Our EconomyWorking to facilitate and develop an attractive environment in which to conduct business.
Council is an enabler of economic growth. It does this through infrastructure and service provision and the development and management of land use and development policies.
This has been a year of exciting initiatives which will provide new foundations for growth. One of the most significant being the securing of funding for the new airport. The announcement alone produced a level of interest from investors that is already seeing spin offs for our local economy, but the big benefits are still ahead in the form of new developments, new jobs and a more vibrant economy.
Facilitating change
One of the central pillars of Council’s support for long term economic development on the Island has been the upgrade of Kangaroo Island Airport. This $18M project was made possible by two $9M grants – from State Government and the Federal Government National Stronger Regions Fund. The upgrade will enable direct flights from the east coast of Australia, bringing in tourists and helping to take our high value local produce to new national and international markets.
Since the announcement in December 2015, the Island has entered a more buoyant economic period, with an unprecedented $171M of proposed projects potentially coming on line in the next 3–5 years. To ensure local businesses have the opportunity to benefit from Council’s major infrastructure project, we supported stage 1 of the Commissioner’s first Transformation Project to upskill local businesses so they could compete for non-specialised aspects of the Airport upgrade construction work.
This year also saw the launch of the Kangaroo Island Economic Development Outlook, a project we worked on with the Commissioner for Kangaroo Island and the State Government. It outlines the key economic opportunities for the Island in the foreseeable future and considers: planning; energy; food and beverages; research, development, innovation and education; tourism; agriculture; telecommunications; international trade; and transport/freight. Deputy Premier the Hon John Rau MP launched the report in Kingscote in June 2016.
24
KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
KI Development Plan amendment
Strategic planning work in 2015-16 resulted in bringing the Emu Bay Structure Plan project into the Consolidated Version of the Kangaroo Island Development Plan. The Development Plan amendment creates a positive environment for more growth and development in the region and a broader range of development opportunities in the public areas of the Emu Bay township, such as tourist accommodation and Community projects. Council approved 97 new allotments for future division and development.
Improvements in DA assessment process efficiency
In an effort to improve efficiencies in core business and deliver better service, the Development Services team has streamlined its processes, assisting businesses and individuals by speeding up the Development Application approval process. We began by tracking DA timelines and processing from September–December 2015, and continued on a quarterly basis. Current results show our timelines are now down to only two thirds the statutory time allowable for most of our Planning, and only one fifth the time allowable for Building Services. These figures exclude time which is out of Council’s control such as time lost following external agency referral, or additional time required by applicants to gather their information.
The Community can access Planning and Development staff weekly, all year round, by appointment on Thursdays. This enables the team to gather accurate information to discuss with the applicant in person.
Tourism Optimisation Management Model
Council continues to be a key partner in TOMM, a survey managed by TKI which collects critical information biannually on tourists’ views of Kangaroo Island and their experiences here. It also collects residents’ views of the Island and feeds this information back to tourism operators and partner organisations to help them gauge people’s views and provide more effective services.
Mobile Food Vans
A Mobile Food Van (MFV) Policy was finalised in June, after a three month trial period. The policy:
• enables more successful management of mobile food vans
• diminishes the potential for conflict between mobile food vans and fixed ‘bricks & mortar’ restaurants and cafés
• sets appropriate health standards for MFV fit out and operation.
The policy largely supports the rights of MFVs to be mobile and follow customers to areas where food and drinks may not be readily available, creating opportunities for commerce in areas where it had not necessarily existed before. It allows MFVs to support social and cultural opportunities around Kangaroo Island, whether at events or markets, or simply allowing residents and tourists to enjoy a meal at the foreshore.

Our People
It was pleasing to have handed out five Recognition of Service Awards this year demonstrating the depth of service in our wider team. Steven Budarick completed 35 years of service with Council, John Fernandez, Randy Spark and David Keefe were recognised for their contribution of 15 years and Melissa Grimes reached 10 years. Congratulations all.
Kangaroo Island Council provides training and development opportunities for its employees to ensure they can fulfil the requirements of their roles and meet regulations. The training plan delivery is dependent on the needs of the business and annual budget allocations.
Employee training over the year has included, among others:
• Health and Safety
• Confined Spaces and Elevated Work Platform
• Skid Steer and Excavator
• Fire Prevention Officer training
• Cert IV Library and Cultural Studies
• Cert III Civil Construction
• Cert III Business Administration
• Operational Inspections of Children’s Playgrounds
• Public Consultation
• Driver Upgrades – Heavy Rigid Licence
• Work Zone Traffic Management
We also take part in the Regional Youth Traineeship Program. This new initiative is funded through the State Government’s Job Accelerator Fund. It provides an invaluable opportunity for trainees to learn skills in a supportive workplace and set them on a pathway to a successful career. This year’s successful applicant was Sarah Hissey who is undertaking a Certificate III in Business Administration. Sarah will be exposed to a wide range of Council activities and functions in her two year traineeship.
27
KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
The health and well-being of our employees is important to Council and we offer a number of opportunities that may help people to make informed life-and-wellbeing choices. These included:
• yearly health assessments through the LGAWCS program – this year employees were offered a 30 minute design your own health assessment or 60 minute health assessment
• healthy Lifestyle Program –included ‘Fit for Duty’ and Healthy Eating Plan - 10 Week Challenge through the LGAWCS program
• flu vaccinations, which are offered annually
• skin cancer screenings through the LGAWCS program.
Confidential access to Council’s Employee Assistance Program is provided to all Staff members needing assistance with difficulties in the workplace or other personal concerns.
This year, Council undertook its first employee engagement survey with great results. The average overall rate of employee satisfaction was 75%, which is considerably
higher than the Australian employee engagement survey conducted by a Gallup Poll in 2016. We looked at areas such as supportive leadership, co-worker interaction, employee development and goal alignment.
Our Workplace
Kangaroo Island Council experienced no industrial issues affecting the workplace in 2015-16. This is a pleasing outcome and largely the result of our leadership’s commitment to fostering positive employee relations.
Council maintains its commitment to equal employment opportunities, guided by its Equal Opportunity Policy. Council staff span a wide range of age groups ranging from 18 years to over 65 years of age. We also maintain a relatively balanced gender representation. Four of the seven managers in the Leadership team are female. Council is also committed to providing a working environment free from discrimination, harassment and workplace bullying.
Internet MIMP
This year Council changed its Internet provider to MIMP which has provided a more cost effective and reliable service than we previously utilised. MIMP is developing a business case proposal to provide data links for all DEWNR properties, with the ancillary benefit being to provide extensive additional high speed WIFI coverage for the central and western end of the Island. This WIFI would be available to the Community via an ISP provider such as iinet. Evaluation of this proposal will be undertaken in the new year.
Seeking opportunities for private works
While Council does seek to build revenue with private works when resources are available, it does not wish to compete with local businesses. The main opportunities we took up in 2015–16 which did not compete with local providers were bitumen sealing works for KI Pure Grain and shoulder sealing work for DPTI.

Confidential Items – Pursuant to Section 90 and 91 of the Act
Section 90 (1) of the Local Government Act 1999 determines that Council meetings, and meetings of Committees of Council, are to be held in a place that ensures public access. On occasions this principle is outweighed by considerations for the need to keep information or discussions confidential. Section 90 (2) allows that the public may be excluded from attendance for certain matters listed in section 90 (3). Section 91 (7) then allows for matters deemed confidential under section 90 (2) to be excluded from the requirement for minutes to be placed on public display and available for inspection.
During 2015–16, provisions of the Local Government Act 1999 section 90 (2) were utilised 15 times, or for 3.5% of the total agenda items considered. This is in line with recommendations made by the Ombudsman in the In the Public Eye report published in 2012.
They are summarised below:
(a) Matters relating to the personal affairs of a person 7
(d) Matters relating to commercial information 2

Procurement and Competitive Tender
The Council has endorsed a Procurement Policy (incorporating Contracts and Tenders and Sales and Disposals of Land) which commits to delivering cost-effective services to our Community while supporting local businesses where possible. Further, to ensure a “fair go” for local businesses, Council applies a Local Content Weighting for all tenders. The Procurement Policy is also mindful of the Government Business Enterprises (Competition) Act 1996. The contracting of significant works or services is released to open competitive tender unless there are mitigating reasons, for example, specialist expertise is required, and then a limited select tender process is carried out. While the policy has a focus on buying locally, there remains a commitment to ensuring the best value for money is received.
Council has a complaints mechanism in place and in 2015–16 no complaints were received with regard to Competitive Neutrality.

ICAC Commissioner and SA Ombudsman visit to Kangaroo Island
In May the South Australian ICAC Commissioner Bruce Lander QC and SA Ombudsman Wayne Lines visited Kangaroo Island to clarify their respective roles to the public owing to the fact that many complaints and reports received from Kangaroo Island were “of no substance” but caused Council to incur substantial expenses. Mr Lander said: “My concern is that a number of offices are put to costly expense by complaints and reports that should never have been made.”
Mr Lander said that Kangaroo Island Council was significantly over-represented in the number of complaints and reports submitted to the ICAC/Office of Public Integrity (OPI) and the Ombudsman’s Office with 50% of all complaints and reports coming from two people. Of the 26 complaints and reports received, 21 were assessed by the OPI as requiring no action at all, and the vast majority of those requiring no action were considered “trivial, frivolous or vexatious” or did not reflect “serious or systemic misconduct or maladministration”. Only one matter had been investigated by ICAC as raising a potential issue of corruption – but that had not been substantiated. Mr Lines said: “The vast majority of complaints are unsubstantiated and often simply a case of a squabble between people. That is not the proper use of the complaint process.”

Council’s Representation Quota
Based on the electoral role 2015–16, the Electoral Commission confirmed the representation quota for Kangaroo Island to be 339. This is determined by dividing the total number of electors (3389) by the number of elected representatives (10). This compares with the State average quota of 460 across metropolitan Adelaide, and rural and regional councils of South Australia. The next representation quota review is due to be completed by April 2017. During the review, the Community has the following opportunities to provide input:
• making a submission during the 42 day Community Consultation Period in reviewing the Elector Representation Review Option Paper
• making a submission during the 21 day Community Consultation Period in reviewing the Elector Representation Report
• appearing before Council to state their case at a Public Hearing (i.e. people who have provided submissions).
Community Land
Council updated the Council Community Lands Management Plan in 2015–16. The update included:
• internal consultation with key members of Council
• a 21 day external consultation and
• consideration of 6 submissions.
The update was completed in June 2016. The next stages are approval by Council, and Ministerial approval, for the operational land being revoked from ‘Public Land Status’.
Council maintains leases and permits for the use of Community Land. This process is regularly reviewed and improved upon.

SECTION 3
Finance Report 2015-16 yearFor the sixth consecutive year, Council has been issued with an unqualified audit opinion from our
external Auditors, Deloitte. This confirms Council’s financial accounts for the 2015-16 financial
year are represented fairly, in all material respects, and that Council’s financial performance for
the year ended in accordance with accepted accounting standards and legislative requirements.
Council’s 2015-16 Annual Financial Statements were formally adopted on 8 November 2016.
This continues Council’s desired goal of preserving an unqualified audit position, and reflects well on the efforts of Council staff to provide a foundation of confidence in the ability to provide accurate and timely financial management and reporting.
This year has seen another positive return for Council with a net surplus of $2,825,000. This result, while positive, remains difficult to maintain.
Some of the major influences impacting our bottom line are detailed as follows:
• Operating Grants decreased by $1.5M, (down from $3.5M in 2015 to $1.9M in 2016). An advance payment was made in June 2015 of $936,452 as a portion of the 2015-16 Financial Assistance Grant Scheme (FAGS) payment. Being reported in 2014-15, it represents a significant proportion of the decrease in grant income for this financial year.
• Physical resources received free of charge increased from $2M to $2.02M. These comprise works provided to the Kangaroo Island Council by DPTI – as well as other physical resources received free of charge from private development. As private development across the Island continues into the future it is likely that further changes will be reported in this area.
• Reimbursements decreased from $4.4M to $550K, the major discrepancy being $2.95M funding received in FY 2015 from the State Government for flood recovery work. The work was completed in FY 2015 and had no impact on this year’s reimbursement income.
• The 2015-16 results show an increase in user charges from $932K to $1,072M. Council has invested in new public amenities, improved the Council building façade and made a significant investment in upgrading the Kangaroo Island Airport. These investments and others will help maintain client patronage and associated user charge revenues, as we have seen in FY 2016 with the income from campgrounds, halls and the airport all improving from FY 2015.
• Council was successful in receiving $9M funding through the Commonwealth’s National Stronger Regions Fund program and this, combined with matched funding ($9M) from the State Government, will see an $18M redevelopment of the Kangaroo Island Airport over the next 12 months. Preliminary works for this project commenced during FY 2016 (using seed funding received in FY 2015). In line with Accounting Standards this work forms part of Councils works in progress until the project is completed in 2017-18. It is anticipated that the airport will become a significant generator of revenue once the upgrade has been completed.
• Total expenses were down $372K compared with the previous year due to good cost control, continuing the downward trend demonstrated last financial year where expenses were down $379K on the previous reporting period.
Deloitte has been engaged for a further four years following the cessation of their previous contract at the end of the FY 2015 audit. Audit fees for FY 2016 were paid in line with the current service agreement: $46.4K for the internal and external audit of our financial accounts and grant agreements, and $5.6K for associated disbursements.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Financial Sustainability/Long Term Financial Planning
The Kangaroo Island Council continued its commitment to long term financial planning and to taking steps towards securing its long term financial sustainability during the year.
During the 2015-16 financial year, Council continued to work on a Long-Term Financial Plan (LTFP) that targets a ‘break-even’ position within the next 10 year planning period. The 2016-2026 Plan was presented to the Audit Committee in December 2015 and reviewed again in May 2016. The Plan was formally adopted by Council in June 2016.
Further work will continue in reviewing and assessing Council’s Infrastructure Asset Management Plans, ensuring the financial implications of maintaining and replacing Council’s infrastructure assets are taken into account in a planned and methodical manner.
The following graph shows Council’s Operating Surplus Position and our journey towards achieving financial sustainability. Consistent, better than budget performance since 2011-12, together with the implementation of strategies to sustainably reduce cost and optimize revenue opportunities, will deliver the desired result. Our LTFP is grounded in deliverables, and there is the potential for substantial upside in revenue terms, should developments proposed for the Island, mature to reality.

Funding
During 2015-16, Council continued to rely heavily on rates (69% of revenue, compared to 48% last year) and total grants (15%, compared to 20% last year) as its prime revenue sources. Reimbursement income is reflecting a more normalised level of 4%, compared to 25% last year which included the $2.95M Local Government Disaster Recovery Funding for the MacGillivray flood works, which is not an ongoing source of revenue.
The proportion of funding sources can be seen in the following graph:
Chart 1: Revenue Sources
During the past eight years, the annual variations in grant funding, reimbursements and other revenue have been significant and unpredictable. A continued downward trend in government grant funding is anticipated, providing a challenge for Council’s long term financial planning.
Expenditure
Further challenges to Council’s long term financial planning are the year to year variations in operational expenditure as reflected in the chart below.
Chart 2: Expenditure Areas
Note: both capital expenditure (amounts that have been added to infrastructure each year) and depreciation are included in this chart. It should also be noted that some
employee costs are included in capital expenditure each year in line with Australian Accounting Standards.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Borrowings / Debt Management
Council continued its policy of borrowing funds for the development of key infrastructure assets for the Community, including road upgrades. It used the borrowings as a means of allocating costs to consumers over the useful life of the assets. From time to time Council also uses borrowings to cover shortfalls in its immediate cash management needs.
Outstanding borrowings as at 30 June 2016 are $12.19M, a decrease in borrowings from $12.28M the previous year. This reduction in borrowings has been a result of higher cash reserves and a decrease in the cashflow pressures resulting from FY14 and FY15 flood recovery work.
Financial Indicators
Council continues to monitor and report performance against the 3 key financial indicators that have been generally adopted by Councils across South Australia as a guide to their financial performance.
Operating Surplus Ratio
The operating surplus expressed as a percentage of general and other rates, net of rate rebates and NRM Levy.
Net Financial Liabilities Ratio
Net financial liabilities at the end of Year as a percentage of operating revenue for the year.
Asset Sustainability Ratio
Measuring capital expenditure on renewal or replacement of assets relative to the optimal level proposed in Council’s Infrastructure and Assets Management Plan.

Council continues to face significant challenges in relation to delivering an operating surplus and the management of its asset-driven indicators.
The Asset Sustainability Ratio figure for 2015-16 should be read in context of the positive impact of the State Government’s annual, ongoing $2M Regional Road Infrastructure program.
Council’s Net Financial Liabilities Ratio is somewhat high but remains within the ratio guideline, with Net Financial liabilities being less than operating revenue.

Rates
All land within the Council area, except for land specifically exempt (eg. Crown Land, Council occupied land and other land prescribed in the Local Government Act, 1999) is ratable. The Local Government Act, 1999 provides for Council to raise revenue for the broad purposes of the Council through a general rate, which applies to all ratable properties, or through differential general rates, which apply to classes of properties. In addition, Council can raise separate rates, for specific areas of the Council, or service rates or charges for specific services.
The capital value of rateable properties on Kangaroo Island increased by approximately 0.6% during the 2015-16 year, to a total of $1.468BN, (in 2015 $1.459BN). The number of rateable properties has remained relatively constant at 5,458 properties (in 2015, the number was 5,442).

Looking Ahead to 2016-17 (From 2016-17 Annual Business Plan)
significant influences and priorities
CPI – was set at December 2015 quarter CPI rate (1%)
A current enterprise bargaining agreement between Council and its staff sets out the employment conditions. For the 2016-17 Budget the wage increase is pegged at CPI (1%) + 1%.
The Penneshaw CWMS project which commenced in 2015-16 will be finalised in FY 2016-17. This is financed by a once-off capital grant of $4.11m from the LGFA and a fixed credit foncier loan of $1.5m, borrowed over 15 years, at the variable rate per annum.
Through the Commonwealth’s National Stronger Regions Fund program, developed to promote economic development in Australia’s regions, we will see the $18M redevelopment of the Kangaroo Island Airport commence in October 2016. The airport redevelopment is being funded through a joint funding agreement between Federal and State Governments. There will be no impact on the ratepayer in the 2016-17 budget for this project. With regard to Council-funded capital works Council will establish variable cash advance debenture (CAD) facilities to the level required. Plant and equipment will generally be funded on a fixed rate loan. The LTFP demonstrates that a sustainable level of borrowing for the Council in 2016-17 is $1.5m to meet the needs of the Capital Program. When coupled with the $2M that the State provides through the Unsealed Roads Upgrade Program and $888,786 provided by other funding sources, we expect to deliver the equivalent of $4,417,286 of infrastructure and asset upgrades in 2016-17.
In May 2014 the Federal Government removed the indexation on the Federal Assistance Grants (FAGs) which are distributed to the States, who then distribute the grants to Local Government via the State Grants Commission funding formula. This indexation is predicted to accelerate the decline in FAGS distributions to around 4% year on year and for budgeting purposes this has been included at 2015-16 rates, with the expectation that no advance payments will be received.
In the event that Council succeeds in achieving a higher level of Grants Commission funding than that assumed in the 2016-17 Budget, such funds will remain unallocated. Council will make decisions throughout the year either to allocate any such funds to unforeseen expenditure pressures, or in the absence of such pressures, to retire debt.
Any Supplementary Local Road Funding has been excluded following the ending of an agreement between the Federal and State Governments.
On 23 June 2015 the Federal Government announced it would be increasing Roads to Recovery (R2R) funding for the 2015-16 and 2016-17 financial years with the 2016-17 allocation for Kangaroo Island Council being $937,476. In FY 2017 $283,890 will be allocated to operating income and will be expended on road maintenance activities, with $653,586 to be spent on the capital program.
Rates revenue – with improvements to our financial position Council has been able to consider a revised LTFP that provides confidence in our ability to attain financial sustainability within 10 years while reducing the original rate inflator by 1% in 2016-17, and a further 1% in 2017-18. This reflects Council’s improved financial performance and its recognition of the cost-of-living pressures on our Community.
To this end Rates Revenue in 2016-17 will comprise of 1% CPI + 1% growth + 1% infrastructure contribution. In addition Council has determined that the temporary reduction in differential for Primary Production (land use code) introduced as a response to the drought in the late 2000s will be phased out at 2.5% per year, until parity with the residential differential (100%) is attained (moving the 2016-17 differential from 85% to 87.5%).
Waste management service charge – continued efficiencies in the management of waste will see the service charge for kerbside collection and waste management remain at 2015-16 levels for the coming year.
48
KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Community Wastewater Management Schemes (CWMS) service charges – the construction of the defined collection area for the Penneshaw Scheme will complete by the end of 2015-16 and in 2016-17 we will see the collection network in the Council-funded extension area and all property connections to the commissioned scheme completed. Council’s contributory loan will be fully drawn down early in 2016-17 and the whole-of-Island approach to the costs of management and financing of these schemes will see the service charge rise in 2016-17 to $608/CWMS Unit equivalent (a rise of 3.49%). It is anticipated that future years will see the service charge impacted by CPI only. This service charge will be allocated to those properties that have the capability to be connected to one of the schemes only and does not apply to all ratepayers.

Notes to and forming part of the Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2016
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The principal accounting policies adopted by Council in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
1 Basis of Preparation
1.1 compliance with australian accounting standards
This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards as they apply to not-for-profit entities, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Interpretations and relevant South Australian legislation.
The financial report was authorised for issue by certificate under regulation 14 of the Local Government (Financial Management) Regulations 2011 dated 8 November 2016.
1.2 historical cost convention
Except as stated below, these financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention.
1.3 critical accounting estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Australian Accounting Standards requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates, and requires management to exercise its judgement in applying Council’s accounting policies.
The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are specifically referred to in the relevant sections of these Notes.
1.4 rounding
All amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($’000).
2 The Local Government Reporting Entity
Kangaroo Island Council is incorporated under the South Australian Local Government Act 1999 and has its principal place of business at 43 Dauncey St Kingscote, SA. These financial statements include the Council’s direct operations and all entities through which Council controls resources to carry on its functions. In the process of reporting on the Council as a single unit, all transactions and balances between activity areas and controlled entities have been eliminated.
Other entities in which Council has an interest but does not control are reported in Note 19.
Trust monies and property held by Council but subject to the control of other persons have been excluded from these reports. A separate statement of moneys held in the Trust Fund is available for inspection at the Council Office by any person free of charge.
As at 30 June 2016, Kangaroo Island Council has net current assets of $863,000 [2015 net current assets of $250,000].
Kangaroo Island Council has considered its current financial position along with other information such as the cash flows for the forthcoming 12 month period and the operating budget for the forthcoming 12 months; the ability of the Council to borrow funds from the LGFA to meet any outflows that may arise and the taxing powers of the Council to recoup, through rates and levies, expenditure incurred. Through the evaluation of these factors, the Council believes that there is no significant going concern matter and the Council will be able to meet its debts as and when they fall due.
57
KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
3 Income Recognition
Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Income is recognised when the Council obtains control over the assets comprising the income, or when the amount due constitutes an enforceable debt, whichever first occurs.
Where grants, contributions and donations recognised as incomes during the reporting period were obtained on the condition that they be expended in a particular manner or used over a particular period, and those conditions were undischarged as at the reporting date, the amounts subject to those undischarged conditions are disclosed in these notes. Also disclosed is the amount of grants, contributions and receivables recognised as incomes in a previous reporting period which were obtained in respect of the Council’s operations for the current reporting period.
In recent years the payment of untied financial assistance grants has varied from the annual allocation as shown in the table below:
cash payment received
(,000)
annual allocation
(,000)
Difference
(,000)
2013/14 $1,053 $1,975 - $922
2014/15 $2,760 $1,824 + $936
2015/16 $896 $1,832 - $936
Because these grants are untied, the Australian Accounting Standards require that payments be recognised upon receipt. Accordingly, the operating results of these periods have been distorted compared to those that would have been reported had the grants been paid in the year to which they were allocated.
The Adjusted Operating Surplus Ratio disclosed in Note 15 has also been calculated after adjusting for the distortions resulting from the differences between the actual grants received and the grant entitlements allocated.
4 Cash, Cash Equivalents and other Financial Instruments
Cash Assets include all amounts readily convertible to cash on hand at Council’s option with an insignificant risk of changes in value with a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition.
Receivables for rates and annual charges are secured over the subject land, and bear interest at rates determined in accordance with the Local Government Act 1999. Other receivables are generally unsecured and do not bear interest.
All receivables are reviewed as at the reporting date and adequate allowance made for amounts the receipt of which is considered doubtful.
All financial instruments are recognised at fair value at the date of recognition. A detailed statement of the accounting policies applied to financial instruments forms part of Note 13.
5 Inventories
Inventories held in respect of stores have been valued by using the weighted average cost on a continual basis, after adjustment for loss of service potential. Inventories held in respect of business undertakings have been valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
6 Infrastructure, Property, Plant & Equipment
6.1 Land under roads
Council has elected not to recognise land under roads acquired prior to 1 July 2008 as an asset in accordance with AASB 1051 Land under Roads. Land under roads acquired after 30 June 2008 has not been recognised as in the opinion of Council it is not possible to reliably attribute a fair value, and further that such value if determined would be immaterial. The physical condition of the land under roads is subject to annual review to ensure that there is no major physical deterioration.
6.2 initial recognition
All assets are initially recognised at cost. For assets acquired at no cost or for nominal consideration, cost is determined as fair value at the date of acquisition.
All non-current assets purchased or constructed are capitalised as the expenditure is incurred and depreciated as soon as the asset is held “ready for use”. Cost is determined as the fair value of the assets given
58
KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Notes to and forming part of the Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2016
as consideration plus costs incidental to the acquisition, including architects’ fees and engineering design fees and all other costs incurred. The cost of non-current assets constructed by the Council includes the cost of all materials used in construction, direct labour on the project and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead.
Capital works still in progress at balance date are recognised as other non-current assets and transferred to infrastructure, property, plant & equipment when completed ready for use.
6.3 materiality
Assets with an economic life in excess of one year are only capitalised where the cost of acquisition exceeds materiality thresholds established by Council for each type of asset. In determining (and in annually reviewing) such thresholds, regard is had to the nature of the asset and its estimated service life. Examples of capitalisation thresholds applied during the year are given below. No capitalisation threshold is applied to the acquisition of land or interests in land.
Land Improvement $10,000
Buildings and Other Structures $10,000
Road – pavement for sealed and unsealed built to specification
$10,000
Road – wearing surface sealed and unsealed
$10,000
Bridge $10,000
Footpaths, Kerb & Gutter $10,000
Stormwater Drainage $10,000
Community Wastewater Management Systems
$5,000
Furniture & Fittings $5,000
Plant & Equipment $5,000
Library Books N/A
6.4 subsequent recognition
All material asset classes are revalued on a regular basis such that the carrying values are not materially different from fair value. Significant uncertainties exist in the estimation of fair value of a number of asset classes including land, buildings and associated structures and infrastructure. Further detail of these uncertainties, and of existing valuations, methods and valuers are provided at Note 7.
6.5 Depreciation of non-current assets
Other than land, all infrastructure, property, plant and equipment assets recognised are systematically
depreciated over their useful lives on a straight-line basis which, in the opinion of Council, best reflects the consumption of the service potential embodied in those assets. Earthworks assets are considered as not having a limited useful life and are therefore not depreciated, the physical condition of the earthworks is subject to annual review to ensure there is no major physical deterioration.
Changes to the interpretation of AASB 116 Property, Plant and Equipment – in particular the definition of a residual value being the estimated amount that an entity would obtain from disposal of the asset, has meant that Council is no longer using residual values for road pavement sub-base. Council has separated the value of the sub-base from the pavement and treated as land earthworks; Council has assessed it as not having a limited useful life and has therefore not depreciated this asset. This is based on the view that the service potential of the sub-base is expected to be retained due to the absence of any events that cause physical deterioration. The physical condition of the sub-base is subject to annual review to ensure there is no major physical deterioration.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values of classes of assets are reviewed annually.
Major depreciation periods for each class of asset are listed below. Depreciation periods for infrastructure assets have been estimated based on the best information available to Council, but appropriate records covering the entire life cycle of these assets are not available, and extreme care should be used in interpreting financial information based on these estimates.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
6.6 impairment
Assets that are subject to depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount (which is the higher of the present value of future cash inflows or value in use).
For assets whose future economic benefits are not dependent on the ability to generate cash flows, and where the future economic benefits would be replaced if Council were deprived thereof, the value in use is the depreciated replacement cost. In assessing impairment for these assets, a rebuttable assumption is made that the current replacement cost exceeds the original cost of acquisition.
Where an asset that has been revalued is subsequently impaired, the impairment is first offset against such amount as stands to the credit of that class of assets in Asset Revaluation Reserve, any excess being recognised as an expense.
6.7 Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs in relation to qualifying assets (net of offsetting investment revenue) have been capitalised in accordance with AASB 123 “Borrowing Costs”. The amounts of borrowing costs recognised as an expense or as part of the carrying amount of qualifying assets are disclosed in Note 3, and the amount (if any) of interest revenue offset against borrowing costs in Note 2.
7 Payables
7.1 goods & services
Creditors are amounts due to external parties for the supply of goods and services and are recognised as liabilities when the goods and services are received. Creditors are normally paid 30 days after the month of invoice. No interest is payable on these amounts.
7.2 payments received in advance & Deposits
Amounts other than grants received from external parties in advance of service delivery, and security deposits held against possible damage to Council assets, are recognised as liabilities until the service is delivered or damage reinstated, or the amount is refunded as the case may be.
8 Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
9 Employee Benefits
9.1 salaries, wages & compensated absences
Liabilities for employees’ entitlements to salaries, wages and compensated absences expected to be paid or settled within 12 months of reporting date are accrued at nominal amounts (including payroll based oncosts) measured in accordance with AASB 119.
Liabilities for employee benefits not expected to be paid or settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflows (including payroll based oncosts) to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. Present values are calculated using government guaranteed securities rates with similar maturity terms.
Weighted avg. discount rate 1.6% (2015, 2.0%)
Weighted avg. settlement period
7 years (2015, 7 years)
A liability for untaken personal leave is provided for. The amount relates to an obligation to payout 25% of personal leave outstanding after 7 years of service upon termination of employment. The amounts not expected to be paid or settled within 12 months are measured as the present value of the estimated future cash outflow.
9.2 superannuation
The Council makes employer superannuation contributions in respect of its employees to the Statewide Superannuation Scheme. The Scheme has two types of membership, each of which is funded differently. No changes in accounting policy have occurred during either the current or previous reporting periods. Details of the accounting policies applied and Council’s involvement with the schemes are reported in Note 18.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Notes to and forming part of the Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2016
10 Provisions
10.1 provisions for reinstatement, restoration and rehabilitation
Estimated monitoring and restoration costs are provided for in the accounting period when the obligation arising from the related disturbance occurs, and are carried at the net present value of estimated future costs.
Although estimated future costs are based on a 20 year plan, such plans are based on current environmental requirements which may change, and significant uncertainty exists in the estimation of the future closure date.
11 Leases
Lease arrangements have been accounted for in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 117.
In respect of finance leases, where Council substantially carries all of the risks incident to ownership, the leased items are initially recognised as assets and liabilities equal in amount to the present value of the minimum lease payments. The assets are disclosed within the appropriate asset class, and are amortised to expense over the period during which the Council is expected to benefit from the use of the leased assets. Lease payments are allocated between interest expense and reduction of the lease liability, according to the interest rate implicit in the lease.
In respect of operating leases, where the lessor substantially retains all of the risks and benefits incident to ownership of the leased items, lease payments are charged to expense over the lease term.
12 Construction Contracts
Construction works undertaken by Council for third parties are generally on an agency basis where the third party reimburses Council for actual costs incurred, and usually do not extend beyond the reporting period. As there is no profit component, such works are treated as 100% completed. Reimbursements not received are recognised as receivables and reimbursements received in advance are recognised as “payments received in advance”.
For works undertaken on a fixed price contract basis, revenues and expenses are recognised on a percentage of completion basis. Costs incurred in advance of a future claimed entitlement are classified as work in progress in inventory. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
13 Equity Accounted Council Businesses
Council participates in cooperative arrangements with other Councils for the provision of services and facilities. Council’s interests in cooperative arrangements, which are only recognised if material, are accounted for in accordance with AASB 128 and set out in detail in Note 19.
14 GST Implications
In accordance with UIG Abstract 1031 “Accounting for the Goods & Services Tax”:
• Receivables and Creditors include GST receivable and payable.
• Except in relation to input taxed activities, revenues and operating expenditures exclude GST receivable and payable.
• Non-current assets and capital expenditures include GST net of any recoupment.
• Amounts included in the Statement of Cash Flows are disclosed on a gross basis.
15 New accounting standards and UIG Interpretations
In the current year, Council adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that are relevant to its operations and effective for the current reporting period. The adoption of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations has not resulted in any material changes to Council’s accounting policies.
Kangaroo Island Council has not applied any Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations that have been issued but are not yet effective with the exception of AASB 2015-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Fair Value Disclosures of Not-for-Profit Public Sector Entities. Generally Council applies standards and interpretations in accordance with their respective commencement dates. The retrospective application of AASB 2015-7 has exempted Council from the disclosure of quantitative information and sensitivity analysis for some valuations categorised within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
61
KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
aasB 9 – financial instruments
At the date of authorisation of the financial report, AASB 9 Financial Instruments and AASB 2015-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Extending Related Party Disclosures to Not-for-Profit Public Sector Entities are the only new accounting standards with a future application date that are expected to have a material impact on Council’s financial statements.
aasB 15 - revenue from contracts with customers and associated amending standards
AASB 15 introduces a five step process for revenue recognition with the core principle of the new Standard being that entities recognise revenue so as to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration (that is, payment) to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
The changes in revenue recognition requirements in AASB 15 may cause changes to accounting policies relating to the timing and amount of revenue recorded in the financial statements as well as additional disclosures.
The full impact of AASB 15 has not yet been ascertained or quantified. AASB 15 will replace AASB 118 which covers contracts for goods and services and AASB 111 which covers construction contracts.
The effective date of this standard is for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018.
aasB 16 – Leases
From 1 January 2019 changes to this standard mean that Council will need to disclose operating and finance leases in the same fashion. As this is considered to be too remote in time to have a potentially material effect on the interpretation of the 2015/16 financial reports, Council has not applied this standard.
aasB 2016-2 Disclosure initiative – changes to aasB 107 – statement of cashflows
From periods commencing on or after 1 January 2017 changes to AASB 107 will require Council to provide disclosures that enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities, including both changes arising from cash flows and non-cash changes.
aasB 124 – related party Disclosures
From 1 July 2016 AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures will apply to Council, which means that Council will disclose more information about related parties and transactions with those related parties.
Council is still reviewing the way that revenue is measured and recognised to identify whether AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures will have a material impact. To date no impact has been identified.
Other amended Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations which were issued at the date of authorisation of the financial report, but have future commencement dates are not likely to have a material impact on the financial statements.
16 Disclaimer

Note 7a (ii). Investment PropertyNil
Note 7b. Valuation of Infrastructure, Property, Plant & Equipment & Investment Property
Valuation of Assets
The fair value of assets and liabilities must be estimated in accordance with various Accounting Standards for either recognition and measurement requirements or for disclosure purposes.
AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement requires all assets and liabilities measured at fair value to be assigned to a “level” in the fair value hierarchy as follows:
• Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
• Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Refer to Note 7a for the disclosure of the Fair Value Levels of Infrastructure, Property, Plant and Equipment Assets.
information on valuations
Certain land, and the buildings and structures thereon, are shown above as being based on fair value hierarchy level 2 valuation inputs. They are based on prices for similar assets in an active market, with directly or indirectly observable adjustments for specific advantages or disadvantages attaching to the particular asset.
Valuations of Crown land, community land and land subject to other restrictions on use or disposal, shown above as being based on fair value hierarchy level 3 valuation inputs, are based on prices for similar assets in an active market, but include adjustments for specific advantages or disadvantages attaching to the particular asset that are not directly or indirectly observable in that market, or the number and/or amount of observable adjustments of which are so great that the valuation is more fairly described as being based on level 3 valuation inputs.
There is no known market for buildings, infrastructure and other assets. These assets are valued at depreciated current replacement cost. This method involves:
• The determination of the cost to construct the asset (or its modern engineering equivalent) using current prices for materials and labour, the quantities of each being estimated based on recent experience of this or similar Councils, or on industry construction guides where these are more appropriate.
• The calculation of the depreciation that would have accumulated since original construction using current estimates of residual value and useful life under the prime cost depreciation method adopted by Council.
This method has significant inherent uncertainties, relying on estimates of quantities of materials and labour, residual values and useful lives, and the possibility of changes in prices for materials and labour, and the potential for development of more efficient construction techniques.
other information
At 1 July 2004 upon the transition to AIFRS, Council elected pursuant to AASB 119 to retain a previously established deemed cost under GAAP as its deemed cost. With subsequent addition at cost, this remains as the basis of recognition of non-material asset classes.
Upon revaluation, the current new replacement cost and accumulated depreciation are re-stated such that the difference represents the fair value of the asset determined in accordance with AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement: accumulated depreciation is taken to be the difference between current new replacement cost and fair value. In the case of land, current replacement cost is taken to be the fair value.
highest and best use
All of Council’s non financial assets are considered as being utilised for their highest and best use.

Notes to and forming part of the Financial StatementsFor the year ended 30 June 2016
Note 7b. Valuation of Infrastructure, Property, Plant & Equipment & Investment Property (continued)transition to aasB 13 - fair value measurement
The requirements of AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement have been applied to all valuations undertaken since 1 July 2013 as shown by the valuation dates by individual asset classes below.
Land & Land improvements
Council being of the opinion that it is not possible to attribute a value sufficiently reliably to qualify for recognition; land under roads has not been recognised in these reports.
Freehold land and land over which Council has control, but does not have title, is recognised on a fair value basis. No capitalisation threshold is applied to the acquisition of land or interests in land.
Land improvements are recognised at fair value, originally deriving from a valuation conducted by Liquid Pacific at 30 June 2016 at current replacement cost. Estimated future costs of reinstatement of land, capitalised in accordance with AASB 116.16(c), are reviewed annually (see Note 1) and depreciated over the estimated remaining life of the relevant asset. The weighted average depreciation period for 2016 is 40 years (2015 – 40 years).
In line with the Asset Accounting Policy adopted in 2011/12, Council has decided to apply the capitalisation thresholds for Land Improvement assets, to be consistent with the other major asset classes. Council does not recognise on its balance sheet, or provide depreciation for, land improvements, buildings and structures which Council considers will not rationally be replaced. Where there is no regular cash flow generated from the asset, the net present value of future cash flows for that asset is the disposal value. Where assets are not rationally replaced, and Council has decided that there is no expected future economic benefit continuing to flow to Council, the disposal value will be reduced to nil.
Buildings & other structures
Buildings and other structures generally are recognised at fair value, based on current market values and were valued for 30 June 2016 by Liquid Pacific.
For Buildings & Structure assets which Council considers will not rationally be replaced, the same accounting treatment applies as stated in the Land & Land Improvements section above.
infrastructure
Transportation assets were valued by Tonkin’s Engineering at depreciated current replacement cost as at 30 June 2014, GHD reviewed data at 1 July 2014, and an in-house valuation undertaken for 30 June 2015.
Stormwater drainage infrastructure was valued by Tonkin’s Engineering as at 30 June 2014 at depreciated current replacement cost, based on actual costs incurred during the reporting period and an assessment of useful life and asset condition data.
Community wastewater management system infrastructure was valued at depreciated current replacement cost during the reporting period ended 30 June 2014 by Tonkin’s Engineering Consultants on the same basis as that determined for Stormwater assets.
plant & equipment
Plant & Equipment assets were revalued as at 30 June 2010 by Maloney Field Services, Property Consultant and Valuers.
furniture & fittings
Furniture and Fitting assets were revalued as at 30 June 2010 by Maloney Field Services, Property Consultant and Valuers.
Library Books
Library books and other lending materials were revalued as at 30 June 2010 by Maloney Field Services, Property Consultant and Valuers.

Risk Exposures
Credit Risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties fail to perform as contracted. The maximum credit risk on financial assets of the Council is the carrying amount, net of any allowance for doubtful debts. All Council investments are made with the SA Local Government Finance Authority and are guaranteed by the SA Government. Except as detailed in Notes 5 & 6 in relation to individual classes of receivables, exposure is concentrated within the Council’s boundaries, and there is no material exposure to any individual debtor.
Market Risk is the risk that fair values of financial assets will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. All of Council’s financial assets are denominated in Australian dollars and are not traded on any market, and hence neither market risk nor currency risk apply.
Liquidity Risk is the risk that Council will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations with financial liabilities. In accordance with the model Treasury Mangement Policy (LGA Information Paper 15), liabilities have a range of maturity dates. Council also has available a range of bank overdraft and standby borrowing facilities that it can access.
Interest Rate Risk is the risk that future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Council has a balance of both fixed and variable interest rate borrowings and investments. Cash flow fluctuations are managed holistically in seeking to minimise interest costs over the longer term in a risk averse manner.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL annual report 2015-2016
Note 18. SuperannuationThe Council makes employer superannuation contributions in respect of its employees to Statewide Super (formerly Local Government Superannuation Scheme). There are two types of membership, each of which is funded differently. Permanent and contract employees of the South Australian Local Government sector with Salarylink benefits prior to 24 November 2009 have the option to contribute to the Accumulation section and/or Salarylink. All other employees (including casuals) have all contributions allocated to the Accumulation section.
Accumulation only Members
Accumulation only members receive both employer and employee contributions on a progressive basis. Employer contributions are based on a fixed percentage of ordinary time earnings in accordance with superannuation guarantee legislation (9.50% in 2015/16; 9.50% in 2014/15). No further liability accrues to the Council as the superannuation benefits accruing to employees are represented by their share of the net assets of the Fund.
Salarylink (Defined Benefit Fund) Members
Salarylink is a defined benefit scheme where the benefit payable is based on a formula determined by the member’s contribution rate, number of years and level of contribution and final average salary. Council makes employer contributions to Salarylink as determined by the Fund’s Trustee based on advice from the appointed Actuary. The rate is currently 6.3% (6.3% in 2014/15) of “superannuation” salary.
In addition, Council makes a separate contribution of 3% of ordinary time earnings for Salarylink members to their Accumulation account. Employees also make member contributions to the Salarylink section of the Fund. As such, assets accumulate in the Salarylink section of the Fund to meet the member’s benefits, as defined in the Trust Deed, as they accrue.
The Salarylink section is a multi-employer sponsored plan. As the Salarylink section’s assets and liabilities are pooled and are not allocated by each employer, and employees may transfer to another employer within the local government sector and retain membership of the Fund, the Actuary is unable to allocate benefit liabilities, assets and costs between employers. As provided by AASB 119.32(b), Council does not use defined benefit accounting for these contributions.
The most recent actuarial investigation was conducted by the Fund’s actuary, A C Miller, FIAA, of Russell Employee Benefits Pty Ltd as at 30 June 2014. The Trustee has determined that the current funding arrangements are adequate for the expected Salarylink liabilities. However, future financial and economic circumstances may require changes to Council’s contribution rates at some future time.
Contributions to Other Superannuation Schemes
Council also makes contributions to other superannuation schemes selected by employees under the “choice of fund” legislation. All such schemes are of the accumulation type, where the superannuation benefits accruing to the employee are represented by their share of the net assets of the scheme, and no further liability attaches to the Council.

Note 20. Non-Current Assets Held for Sale & Discontinued OperationsCouncil does not have any Non-Current Assets Held for Sale or any Discontinued Operations.
Note 21. Contingencies & Assets/Liabilities Not Recognised in the Balance Sheet The following assets and liabilities do not qualify for recognition in the Balance Sheet, but knowledge is considered relevant to the users of the financial report in making and evaluating decisions about the allocation of scarce resources.
1. LAND UNDER ROADS
As reported in the Financial Statements, Council is of the opinion that it is not possible to attribute a value sufficiently reliably for these assets to qualify for recognition, and accordingly land under roads has not been recognised in the reports. Land acquired for road purposes during the year is initially recognised at cost, but transferred to fair value at reporting date, effectively writing off the expenditure.
At reporting date, Council controlled 2,485km of road reserves of average width 20 metres.
2. POTENTIAL INSURANCE LOSSES
Council is a multi-purpose organisation providing a large range of building, parks infrastructure, playgrounds and other facilities accessible to the public. At any time, it is likely that claims will have been made against Council that remain unsettled.
Council insures against all known insurable risks using a range of insurance policies, each of which is subject to deductable “insurance excesses”, the amount of which varies according to the class of insurance.
Council has recognised the potential losses arising from claims known at reporting date based on average historical net cost (including insurance excess) of similar types of claims. Other potential claims not reported to Council may have existed at reporting date.
3. BANK GUARANTEES
Council has not guaranteed certain loans and other banking facilities advanced to community organisations and sporting bodies.
4. LEGAL MATTERS
Council is the planning consent authority for its area under the Development Act 1993 (as amended). Pursuant to that Act, certain persons aggrieved by a planning decision of the Council may appeal. It is normal practice that parties bear their own legal costs. At the date of these reports, Council had no notice of appeals against planning decisions made prior to reporting date. All known costs have been recognised.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL Community Passenger Network Annual Report 2015-2016
Foreword from Kangaroo Island Council CEOKangaroo Island Council supports the provision of transport services for disadvantaged
community members. In the past, due to the lack of public transport options available on
Kangaroo Island, the Community Passenger Network (CPN) has been essential in assisting the
transport disadvantaged to move around. This service has been supplemented by the Rockhopper
which was introduced in March 2014.
The changing funding requirements initiated within 2015-16 by the State and Federal governments, and associated changes in the future direction of the program, has resulted in the Kangaroo Island Council being unable to continue to act as an auspice agency for the Community Passenger Network as of 30 June 2016.
Kangaroo Island Council is still supporting the Rockhopper and will continue to provide administrative support to operate this in 2016-17.
CPN Coordinator Report
During 2015-2016, through the CPN process of assessing clients requesting transport on a merit basis, Kangaroo Island CPN provided 364 passenger trips1 in the form of services brokered to commercial operators. This is a similar number of trips compared with 2014–2015.
In addition, 434 trips were provided on the Rockhopper Western Route (a 5% increase from 2014–2015). Rockhopper usage has continued to increase with tourists starting to utilise the service to get to attractions, as well as Kangaroo Island residents coming into Kingscote for medical and/or social appointments. It is envisaged that this usage will continue to increase, in particular the Dial-a-Ride aspect of the service, given the end of the Community Passenger Network.
In 2014–2015, the Kangaroo Island CPN underwent a Home Care Standards Quality Review with 16 of the 18 criteria met. This review resulted in a couple of required improvements and some suggested improvements to be implemented in 2015–16. The majority of these have now been implemented with an update provided to the Quality Improvement Program Team.
1 Note: For reporting purposes, DCSI have indicated that a return CPN trip for brokered CPN trips is considered 2 passenger trips. This is different from 2014-2015
when it was considered 1 passenger trip.

About the CPNAim
The aim of CPN is to ensure that all frail, aged people with disabilities, and transport
disadvantaged Australians, can access services, facilities and social activities that enable them to
participate to a greater degree in the life of their community.
The Kangaroo Island CPN focused on assisting with transport around Kangaroo Island as well as
providing some assistance for transport on the mainland.
Functions
CPNs exist to promote a broad range of transport options for people within their geographical area. The function may differ, depending on the needs of the community and the resources available.
The Kangaroo Island CPN’s main function was coordination of the service by acting as the link between people who required transport services and those who could provide transport services. The types of coordination included:
• enquires
• referrals
• brokerage.
The Kangaroo Island CPN’s function has included the coordination of the Rockhopper services, including promotion and enquiries on the whole service, as well as bookings for the Western Route.
Objectives
CPN’s objectives are to:
• provide information on the transport services available on Kangaroo Island
• coordinate the referral and brokerage of transport services for members of the Kangaroo Island community
• coordinate appointments and transportation on behalf of clients to enable transport availability when accessing services, facilities and social activities, and
• provide and coordinate volunteer driver transport as a last resort that is not on-going where no other appropriate transport is available in the region and when appropriate resources are available.
Funding
The Kangaroo Island CPN is primarily funded by grants received from the Department for Communities and Social Inclusion (sourced from both Federal and State agencies) with additional funding from donations and contributions from the community and CPN users.
CPN Existing Services Description
The Kangaroo Island CPN focused on brokering transport for clients to assist with movement both around Kangaroo Island and on the mainland. The Kangaroo Island CPN includes bookings for a bi-weekly bus service covering Kingscote, Parndana and Vivonne Bay (excluding school holidays). Linked with this is an extended Sealink service covering Kingscote, American River and Penneshaw. It is operated by Sealink however Kangaroo Island CPN provides promotion for this service and answers enquiries relating to this service.

However, the Rockhopper will continue to operate and it is anticipated that the majority of CPN clients will be able to be transitioned to this service.

CPN functions and members of the public
The functions of the CPN affect the public both directly, in the form of service delivery to the community, and indirectly, through the CPN’s policy and strategic management improvement activities. Such activities result in the CPN having an input into the wide range of local, State and Federal government programs and initiatives. The public has the opportunity to participate in the CPN’s policy development in a number of ways, including community consultation forums, panels, surveys and membership of CPN boards and committees.
Documents held by the CPN
Documents held by the CPN fall broadly into the categories described below. While most are available in hard copy, it should be noted that some are only available electronically. The listing of these categories does not necessarily mean all documents are accessible in full or in part under the FOI Act. The categories include:
• corporate files containing correspondence, memoranda and minutes on all aspects of the CPN’s operations
• policies, procedures and guidelines prescribing the way various activities and programs are to be performed
• personnel files relating to the CPN’s employees and volunteers
• accounting and financial reports relating to the running of the CPN
• CPN annual reports, strategic plans and policy reports
• minutes of meetings and terms of reference
• documents relating to the functions of the CPN.
Freedom of Information applications
The FOI Act gives members of the public a legally enforceable right of access (subject to certain restrictions) to documents within the possession of South Australian government agencies, local government authorities and South Australian Universities. The purpose of the FOI Act is to make the business of government open and accountable to the public. The CPN fully supports the objectives and spirit of the Act and is active in its endeavours to continually improve records management practices.

KANGAROO ISLAND COUNCIL Community Passenger Network Annual Report 2015-2016
Existing Transport ReportPublic transport
As of March 2014, the Rockhopper has provided public transport around Kangaroo Island. The Eastern Route covers Kingscote, American River and Penneshaw and provides 3 return trips each Wednesday and is operated by Sealink. The Western Route covers Kingscote, Parndana and Vivonne Bay and provides a morning and afternoon service each Tuesday year round and Friday during school terms, except winter. The Western Route is operated by KI Transfers however Kangaroo Island CPN is responsible for taking these bookings.
Note: Sealink operates daily trips from Kingscote to Penneshaw at their normal fee.
Independent community transport
There is no formalised independent community transport however due to the nature of rural living, there is a culture of carpooling and providing transport assistance to family and friends.
Community Living and Support Services (CLASS) is an organisation that supports people with disabilities, the frail aged and socially isolated, to become more involved in their community. As part of this, they offer transport for their clients to CLASS Day Services and community based, day activities that promote independence, inclusion, fun and personal development.
Independent medical specific transport
Limited medical specific transport is available for certain clients (HACC Clients for medical appointments) through the Kangaroo Island Cook Health Centre.
Identified Unmet Needs Report
The Rockhopper meets the need for any person en route to come into Kingscote for medical and/or social purposes. It also can provide transport to medical and/or social appointments within Kingscote / Brownlow using the Dial-a-Ride service.
However, given the restrictions with routes and schedules, additional transport gaps exist for:
• regular daily or weekly transport to work places or meetings, specifically from outside townships
• people not on Rockhopper routes
• youth, specifically around avoiding the drink/driving issue
• people who need flexibility for medical appointments, in particular for visiting specialists.
A full transport survey is planned for 2016–2017 to be run by the Office of the Commissioner for Kangaroo Island.

Miscellaneous Reports
Cost of transport for residents to leave Kangaroo Island
Overview
While the introduction of the Rockhopper has addressed the lack of public transport on Kangaroo Island, residents still face the challenge of being isolated from the mainland.
Options for leaving Kangaroo Island
Residents have no ability to leave Kangaroo Island free of charge. They can leave via ferry or aeroplane, both of which have significant cost, making it more difficult for residents to visit the mainland. The prices for a return trip are shown below:

Family of four (2 adult, 2 children under 11) $172 $274 $466 $1,091 - $2,781
Council’s position
At the Council meeting held on 11 June 2014, Council moved:
That Council calls on the Member for Finniss, Michael Pengilly, Government, and the Kangaroo Island Futures Authority to comprehensively investigate a cost/payment reduction toward the cost of sea travel to Kangaroo Island that will:
• provide direct cost of living benefit to Island residents and financial benefit to Island businesses
• allow a direct and significant payment reduction to freight businesses who transport goods to and from the Island
• allow a direct and significant payment reduction to visitors and residents to/of Kangaroo Island
• legally incorporate such reductions into the current Sealink Agreement currently managed by DPTI.
Summary
The cost of getting off island isolates Kangaroo Island residents making it difficult to visit the mainland.

About The Authority
WHO WE REPRESENT
The Fleurieu Regional Waste Authority (FRWA) wasformed by the member councils of the FleurieuPeninsula in South Australia in order to managetheir waste and recycling. The member councilsare:
Alexandrina Council City of Victor Harbor Kangaroo Island Council District Council of Yankalilla
WHAT WE DO
FRWA provides waste and recycling services onbehalf of the four member councils. This includes:
the operation of four Waste and RecyclingDepots and four Bulky Waste Stations (KI);
the provision of waste, recycling and greenwaste kerbside collection services;
public litter bin collections;
event bin provision and collection; and
the provision of community information andeducation.
These services are covered by a Service LevelAgreement with each Council setting out the KeyPerformance Indicators that must be achieved andthe agreed budgets to deliver the services.
The services are benchmarked against comparableservices provided by Local Government and thePrivate Sector.
OUR HISTORY
In 2007 the Constituent Councils of the FleurieuRegion unanimously adopted the FleurieuPeninsula Waste Strategy. A key recommendationof the strategy was that if Councils decided to ownand operate common assets, then they shouldestablish a Regional Subsidiary pursuant to Section43 of the Local Government Act, 1999.
The Fleurieu Regional Waste Authority (FRWA) wassubsequently established as a regional subsidiary.
The FRWA Charter was approved in January 2010and gazetted on 11 February 2010 and reviewedand updated in 2012. Recently the Authoritycompleted the 2016 statutory review.
THE FUTURE
An important factor going forward for FRWA is toensure the region has the necessary strategy,infrastructure and planning in place to meet thelegislative requirements under the EPA’sEnvironment Protection (Waste to ResourcesPolicy) and the region’s population growth.
Education and promotional programs within thecommunity will continue to remain a high prioritywith community education being based around:
waste avoidance and reduction; recycle right and recycle more composting; and hazardous waste management.
The Authority commits to its continued support oflocal and regional businesses and services as theirpreferred suppliers where possible.

Chairperson’s Message
CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT2015/16
The Fleurieu RegionalWaste Authority (FRWA) isresponsible for providingsustainable waste and recycling services for thecommunities of our Constituent Councils. Thisincludes the operation of four Waste andRecycling Depots (WRD) and the kerbsidecollections of general waste, recyclables andgreen waste, public litter as well as event binservices across the region.
FRWA is also responsible for the delivery of wasteeducation and information across the region,including conducting education programs forkindergartens and primary schools and delivered32 sessions over the last financial year.
FRWA has a workforce of 35 employees and hasbeen recognised by DOME (Don’t OverlookMature Expertise) with the ‘Fair Work Award2015’ for supporting the employment of matureaged workers. In 2015 FRWA’s first Traineecommenced a 12 months Traineeship (CertificateIII in Local Government) which has beensuccessfully completed.
During the past year we continued our work toimprove the sustainability and cost effectivenessof kerbside collection service for our ConstituentCouncils and prepared for the change to a newcollection system in Alexandrina Council from 1July 2016.The new system provides for a higher serviceoverall but in a configuration that encouragesmore diversion of recyclables and greenwasteand the reduction of general waste to landfill.
With the ongoing increase of the stategovernment solid waste levy, measures to reducewaste to landfill are a critical element in future-proofing waste and recycling services for ourregion.The weakening of the scrap metal market and theongoing limited industry responsibilities for e-waste recycling are two key areas adversely
affecting our efforts to improve on diversion ofvaluable resources from landfill.FRWA has further strengthened its professionallinks to the WMAA, KESAB, other localgovernment authorities and state governmentagencies in addressing ongoing challenges in thewaste industry.
On behalf of the Board of Fleurieu RegionalWaste Authority, it is my pleasure to present theAnnual Report for the 2015/16 financial year andto confirm that the Fleurieu Regional WasteAuthority continues to meet its responsibilitiesunder the FRWA Charter in a manner which isboth fiscally and environmentally responsible
During 2015/16 there were a number of changesto the Board with the departure of WarrenKeading (staff member DC Yankalilla) andMadeleine Walker (Cr Alexandrina Council). Theirinput and knowledge have been greatlyappreciated. Nigel Morris (CEO of DC Yankalilla)and Jim Davis (Cr Alexandrina Council) have sincebeen appointed to the Board we look forward toworking with them.
I would like to thank my fellow Board membersfor their continued support and encouragementand I particularly congratulate the ExecutiveOfficer, FRWA staff, drivers and Waste andRecycling Depot operators for their hard workand contribution to placing the Authority on sucha sound strategic and financial footing to meetthe challenges ahead.

Executive Officer’s Message
The Fleurieu Regional WasteAuthority completed the 6th
year of providing waste andrecycling services to thecommunities of our fourmember councils. The 2015/16Annual report provides asynopsis of the Authority’s main achievements and Iwould like to thank the Board Members and stafffor their excellent support, hard work anddedication.
BEST PRACTICE SERVICES
Over the last 12 months total waste generatedacross the region showed a clear upward trend inDC Yankalilla and Kangaroo Island and only a slightincrease for Alexandrina Council and City of VictorHarbor.
Through its best practice services FRWA achieved a60.3% diversion of waste from landfill across theregion which follows the trend of precious years.
Member councils with a three bin system achieveda 39% diversion rate through the kerbsidecompared to a 16-20% diversion rate through twobin system.
Waste and Recycling Depots play a key role in theregion’s recycling efforts; 75% of all waste managedthrough these facilities is diverted from landfill,including 4,450t of greenwaste, 1,157 mattresses,33,105 litres of waste oil, 760kg of light globes,200kg of old X-Ray films, 12.5t of Drum Mustercontainers, 5,356 batteries, 108t of e-waste,batteries and many other recyclables.
The Authority continues to work with neighboringcouncils and other regional authorities on issues ofcommon interest, including furthering sustainablewaste management solutions beyond regions, costeffective e-waste management, emerging energyfrom waste technologies and development ofregional markets for recycled products.
FRWA represented its member councils on relevantstate and national industry stakeholder workinggroups and forums and is an active member of theWaste Management Association of Australia/SABranch.
KERBSIDE COLLECTIONSProviding a sustainable and cost effectivekerbside waste collection service for over 32,000premises across its four Constituent Councils inaccordance with council approved collectionschedules and frequencies.Over the last 12 months we provided over 1.75million bin pickups across our four membercouncils, collecting 13,536t of general waste, 3,144tof greenwaste and 3,906t of comingled dryrecyclables.
The November 2014 kerbside bin audit across allfour member councils showed that the averagegeneral waste bin contains only 31% of waste tolandfill but 69% of waste streams that arerecyclable.
All member councils are considering improvementsto their respective kerbside system and AlexandrinaCouncil was the first council to improve kerbsidecollection service to reduce waste to landfill,capture valuable resources and reduce the impactfrom the solid waste levy increase.
From March 2016 a dedicated team of staff fromCouncil and the Authority prepared the changeFROM - weekly collection of general waste and fourweekly collection of greenwaste and recyclables
Total of 1,040L collected over 4 weeks
TO - fortnightly collection of all waste types.
Total of 1,240L collected over 4 weeks
200L of bin volume (over 4 weeks) has been addedto kerbside services in a new configuration thatencourages recycling and greenwaste diversion anddiscourages waste to landfill.
F R W A A n n u a l R e p o r t 2 0 1 5 / 2 0 1 6 7
Executive Officer’s MessageWASTE AND RECYCLING DEPOTS (WRDS) are keyfacilities to efficiently manage waste andrecycling for Member Councils. 57% of all wastegenerated in the regions is managed throughWRDs and the 80% diversion rate of waste fromlandfill and into various recycling streams istestimony to continuous improvement and newinitiatives.Despite the significant decline in value for SCRAPMETAL Member councils maintained the freeservice for scrap metal management for thecommunity to ensure highly valuable resourcesare kept out of landfill and available for recycling.Unfortunately other services, such as PLASBACK,and bin deliveries were discontinued to mitigatethe financial impact.NEW INITIATIVES of donation of recovered productsout of the waste stream and regular clearancesales of recovered building products have provento be very popular
FRWA continues to offer E-WASTE drop offservices as a hybrid of free campaign events andfees for service, in line with the framework setout under the National Scheme. A total of 108tonnes of e-waste were collected under theNational Computer and Television Scheme acrossthree regional drop off centers, a decrease of29% compared to the tonnages collected duringthe previous year.
COMMUNITY INFORMATION AND EDUCATION
RECYCLE RIGHT: The recent audit forcontamination in kerbside collectedrecyclables showed a reduction inmaterials that should not be
in the recycling bin by 6.33% on average reducingthe contamination rate on some sample days to lessthan 7%
The Authority continued its successful EDUCATIONAND INFORMATION PROGRAM to community groups,kindergartens and primary schools.
