To kick off the end of first term school holi-days Laramba made the journey down the rough road to Yuendumu with a busload of females to compete against Yuendumu and Yuelamu. Participants were chosen based on good school attendance and their com-munity spirit. Laramba and Yuelamu kicked off the action with Yuelamu too strong for Laramba in a good contest. The home side then took to the field to take on Yuelamu, but couldn’t overcome the enthusiastic visitors in an en-tertaining game. Laramba and Yuendumu squared off for a spot in the final against Yuelamu. In a fast-paced clash played in good spirits, Yuendu-mu proved too strong early but Laramba came home with a wet sail to overcome the home side. The grand final saw a hotly contested first half but the Yuelamu side kicked away in the second half to win the days play, and happily accepted the winner’s medals. All three teams then took advantage of a refreshing swim at the Yuendumu pool, fol-lowed by a BBQ lunch provided by Warlpiri Youth Development Aboriginal Corporation (WYDAC). It was a great day of footy played hard and fair, with intercommunity collaboration and bonding and a lot of fun. Female footy is alive and well in the Central Desert. Central Desert Regional Council is com-mitted to providing sporting and recreation-al opportunities to all residents through a planned and structured program through-out all its communities.

This is the end of the first year of this Council Strategic Plan and we are work-ing strongly to achieve our strategic goals. We are sad to have farewelled

Councillors Patrick and Webb, who were unable to continue in their roles – I would like to thank them both again for their service and make a special mention

of Councillor Patrick who held the leadership position of Deputy President and was also a past President of Council.

While our population appears to have remained stable, we do want to increase jobs and opportunities for our residents. Some wins in the past year have included stronger

Local Authorities, particularly project completion in most communities covering shade shelters, seating areas, sporting facility upgrades, solar lights and landscaping. You can

read more in the section “Our Community”. I am also very proud of our achievements with Keep Australia Beautiful, with Central Desert receiving commendations in several

towns. We will keep working to cover all communities and, hopefully, win a prize in the future.

We have had a strong year in our first goal of Advocacy – completing a stakeholder map and key messages. Council’s advocacy included providing submissions and recommenda-tion from our communities regarding NT Alcohol Policy and Legislation, Aboriginal Affairs Strategy, Homelands policy, and changes to the Local Government Act 2008. We have also joined the Regional Organisation of Councils and are working well and discussing shared services with MacDonnell and Barkly Regional Councils and the Alice Springs Town Council. A practical piece of advocacy we did during the year was to inform and assist our residents by highlighting the issue of missing superannuation and advising people how they could check if they could claim any monies.

I’m also very proud of our leadership in developing the East Plenty Highway and MacDonnell Ranges Tourism Master Plan, a big thankyou to all the participants and the NT Government as this plan gives our communities and organisations in the region a solid basis for moving forward with initiatives. We have also been working hard on making Council sustainable, with some great results with improving financial indicators. In our second year of this Strate-gic Plan, we intend to continue to improve our sustainability as well as looking to improve the liveability and quality of life on our communities. I look forward to continuing to provide the best services Council can, while making sure Council will be able to keep providing our core services into the future!

Firstly, a big thank you to Council for its strong leadership and direction over this year. In the second year of Coun-cil’s term and the end of the first year of our Strategic Plan it is evident that everyone is working towards achiev-ing our goals. Staff have really focused on delivering services and ensur-ing a strong link between jobs and our goals. We’ve up-dated our service plans and each team has contributed to proposing and then meeting performance indicators for our business as usual work. Major achievements in this area include the intercommu-nity softball competitions run by our Youth, Sport and Recreation team as well as strong improvements in the Community Development Program resulting in improved activity and job placement statistics. We also assisted the Southern Tanami Kurdiji Indigenous Corporation in their transition to providing services directly to community. We’ve improved our animal management with increased vet visits and upgraded our landfills, plus completed many infrastructure works. You can read more in the section “Our Services”. Reports to Council have been improved with our financial reports now clearly showing core services, contracts and agency (grants). We’ve also aligned our structure and our finances to our strategic goals. Thank you to all staff who have worked hard to maximise our results! I’m looking forward to the next year of our Strategic Plan and continuing our journey of continuous improvement.

Our Members The Central Desert Regional Council is made up of 12 members who are elected by the constituents from the four Wards that make up the Central Desert re-gion. The council is charged with carrying out duties under the provisions of the Local Government Act and Regulations. It is a decision and policy making body with CDRC staff being the means by which these decisions and policies are carried into effect. A President and a Deputy President are elected by the

members of the Council, with the role of Deputy President changing every 12 months. The current Council was inducted in September 2017. This is a unique Council in that each of our nine communities are represented by at least one councillor and all councillors are Indigenous. The ra-tio of new councillors to old is 7:5 with all but one of our new councillors having previously served on their Local Authorities.

Population The original inhabitants of the Central De-sert Regional Council area were the An-matjere, Arrernte and Warlpiri Aboriginal people. The population of the Council area increased during the early 1990s, rising from about 4,000 in 1991 to nearly 5,000 in 1996. The population then gradually de-clined, falling to about 4,230 in 2016 (ABS Estimated Regional Population as at 30 June 2017). Our Central Desert communities are La-jamanu, Anmatjere, Willowra, Laramba, Nyirripi, Yuelamu, Atitjere, Engawala and Yuendumu. There are also smaller indige-nous communities and outstations. The estimated resident population of the major localities within the Regional Council is shown in the table at right.

1. Growing number of positive press stories or externally published success stories, mini-mum of twelve per year.

Twelve plus positive stories per year

Over 20 positive stories were were published, including stories in the Central Desert News, press releases and a full-page spread in the LG Focus, the national Local Government newspaper.

2. Percentage of service plan key perfor-mance indicators met year on year.

Greater than 85% of service plan indi-cators met.

In the section “Our Services” we talk about achievements with our service plans. There are Council reports each Ordinary Council meeting, which show that we are on track with this KPI.

3. Central Desert region population trend is improving from 2016 census measure of 4,222.

Population is stable or growing by 30 June 2021.

Our population is highly volatile with a lot of movement between communities. Our latest figures indicate a population of approximate-ly 4,230 (stable). Council continues to focus in this area.

4. Available jobs and number of residents employed has increased by 30 June 2021.

Benchmark: 1672 jobs in the region and 1363 residents employed (30 June 2016).

Available jobs and residents employed have increased <2% by 2021 census.

This result cannot be measured until the next census. Council has done significant work im-proving our employment process on commu-nity and improving linkages with CDP. At the same time we have supported indigenous corporations in developing their skills and we have transitioned business to Southern Tana-mi Kurdiji Indigenous Corporation, where they now have the lead role for community safety patrol and mediation services in Yuen-dumu and Willowra. Jobs remain hard to fill, and there has been ongoing community un-rest. Anecdotally there has been a small in-crease in overall employment, however fig-ures are not known at this stage.

5. The current ratio (assets / liabilities) is greater than or equal to $2 by 30 June 2021.

Current ratio is between $1.50 and $1.99.

Our current ratio at the end of June 2019 is $1.57, a small improvement over the previ-ous year.

Our Key Performance Indicators Council has determined eight strategic key performance indicators (KPIs) across its five goals. All KPIs impact all goals to differing extents, and so are grouped as Central Desert Re-gional Council’s strategic indicators. Many of the measurements can only be definitive at the end of Council’s term. Our progress and rating after year one is given here.

Capital Expenditure Depreciation Ratio

FY 2018 1,525,351.00 2,527,257.00 0.60

FY 2019 Inclu-sive of NDRRA

4,157,278.00 2,243,198.00 1.85

FY 2019 Exclu-sive of NDRRA

3,388,666,49 2,243,198.00 1.51

23


6. The depreciation ratio is greater than or equal to 1.3 by 30 June 2021.

Depreciation ratio is >= 1.3

We have used the formula: Capital Expendi-ture / Depreciation. Our current ratio at the end of June 2019 is 1.85 inclusive of NDRRA, or 1.51 exclusive of NDRRA. Both are a sig-nificant improvement over the previous year. See the table on the previous page.

7. 60% or higher of survey respondents, in each community, are satisfied with council service delivery by 30 June 2021.

60% or higher satisfaction rating

A specific survey has not yet been imple-mented for overall Council Services. In this financial year, we introduced an in-house sur-vey by the Youth and Communities business unit of clients of the youth program.

100% of respondents indicated that they ei-ther liked or loved the Youth Sports and Rec-reation program in its current form. 83% of the respondents felt that the program lis-tened to their needs as part of the communi-ty. 86% of the respondents felt that the pro-gram made community a better place to live. 83% felt that activities were safe, fun and welcoming for everybody in community. Only 57% of the respondents felt that the program built and maintained great facilities.

The Community Safety project (CSP) survey also conducted a community survey.

96% of the respondents reported that the Central Desert Community Safety Patrol pro-ject was well-delivered and appropriate in the communities where it was delivered. 100% of respondents agreed that the Com-

munity Safety Patrol helped increase their feelings of safety and security in the commu-nity.

8. Community involvement in local decision-making and local leadership is increasing.

At or below benchmark from 2016/17 of three out of nine communities achieving four or more meetings over the year.

Three of the communities achieved four Lo-cal Authority meetings over the year, the same as the benchmark. See the table below for the results.

Community Service Delivery Summary

25


Service Plans are the “building blocks” of what the organisation does. Each service plan re-flects an external or internal service of Central Desert Regional Council, or a functional area of council. Internal services only exist to support the delivery of services to the community or for governance requirements. Councils have a responsibility to effectively plan services over the short and long term to enable service delivery that is sustainable and is responsive to the needs of its defined population. Service Plans are also defined as:

1. Mandatory / Core services are mandated through the Local Government Act or associated legislation/regulations. This category also includes corporate ser-vices and executive management roles which are re-quired to enable legislated external services.

2. Preferred services are those which are not core, and:

a. align with Council’s strategic plan; and

b. are fully grant funded (cost neutral)

c. Services which fall into category (a) but can only be run at a cost deficit are optional.

3. Optional services either do not meet either of the two definitions above, or are commer-cial services. Commercial services must be profitable and return monies to Council to im-prove financial sustainability and subsidise core or agreed preferred services. Council would prioritise optional services that fulfil a market void (private enterprise is not meeting community needs).

Our service plans are also aligned to the organisation structure. For the service plan of Cen-tral Desert Regional Council see the Council’s website: https://centraldesert.nt.gov.au/plans-and-strategies

Council’s formal decision-making processes are conducted through Ordinary Council meetings and Special Council meetings. Council delegates the specific functions to Council employees. These delegations are ex-ercised in accordance with adopted Council policies. Ordinary Council meetings are held at the Council’s main office in Alice Springs and shared between selected regional offices on a rotating basis, and are conducted in accord-ance with Local Government Act 2008 and associated Council’s Meeting Procedure.

Special Council meetings are occasionally held for specific matters. All Ordinary Council meetings and Special Council meetings are advertised on the Council’s website. During 2018/2019 meetings were held in Alice Springs as well as scheduled meetings in La-jamanu, Engawala, Ti Tree and Laramba. Council held six Ordinary Council meetings, five Finance Committee meetings and three Audit and Risk Committee meetings. See tables on this page and the next for de-tails.

In 2014 the NT Government introduced Local Authorities to each of the major service cen-tres. These grass roots decision making bod-ies are supported by council. Strong local authorities ensure that Central Desert communities are engaged in Council decision making to directly shape the man-agement and development of local govern-ment service delivery in line with community aspirations. Local Authorities provided input into various local community projects over the year, as well as making decisions about how to spend Local Authority project funds. During 2018/2019 a wide variety of projects were undertaken, thus empowering Local Authori-ties to directly impact and improve communi-ty life. Local Authorities (LAs):

Are required under legislation, which pro-vides guidelines on their functions

Members receive a meeting allowance

(unless a Council staff member) Make recommendations to Council about

issues in their community Are delegated to determine how LA pro-

ject money is spent in their community Are required to abide by Council’s Code

of Conduct In line with the Northern Territory Govern-ment’s Guideline 8 – Regional Councils and Local Authorities (effective 29 January 2016), each Local Authority is required to hold four meetings for the 2018/19 year. This figure does not include special meetings that may have been called for individual Local Authori-ties. The attendance by councillors to Local Au-thority meetings in the financial year 2018-19 is tabled below. Note the smaller table in-dicating how many meetings went ahead in each ward. See page 23 for a table of LA meetings that went ahead by community.

Reanna Campbell at her desk in the Yuelamu Council Office

Reanna Campbell is set to attract tourists to Yuelamu CDRC Yuelamu administration officer, Reanna Campbell, is using her local knowledge to produce a series of informative booklets and signage designed to give a greater under-standing to, and attract further tourists to the area. The booklets will show photos and a brief ex-planation on each traditional medicine and bush tucker gathered by the women. It will also contain the flowers, bushes and seeds gathered for making jewellery along with their botanical and traditional names, as well as a description of the way local indigenous people dig for water during times of drought in this area. Reptiles such as perenties, black headed and woma pythons, thorny devils and blue tongue lizards will feature, as well as birds such as eagles, parrots and other feathered species. These resources will be of great value to the region which in turn could generate local em-ployment opportunities through bush guid-ing, medicine gathering and storytelling. Reanna has shown she is a future leader of her community with her enthusiasm and honest and intelligent ideas. With the sup-port of CDRC, she recently attended the First Circles Leadership Program in Darwin for the second successive year. She received a First Circles award from Chief Minister Michael Gunner in recognition of her leadership skills.

CDRC staff provided information on the ser-vices provided to the people of Anmatjere, and absorbed some of the history that sur-rounds the communities there. The students engaged in some information sharing from the Ti Tree School and heard from the Rang-ers as well. Community Services Manager Ja-son McKissock shared some information on what he does and how the Council carries out duties day to day. The staff at the office enjoyed seeing the ea-ger faces of the students and wished them well in their future studies.
