GOV018-17 AUDIT, RISK & IMPROVEMENT COMMITTEE - ADOPTION OF CHARTER AND APPOINTMENT OF EXTERNAL INDEPENDENT MEMBERS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• In August 2016, the Local Government Amendment (Governance & Planning) Bill 2016 was

enacted and mandated that all councils must have an Audit, Risk & Improvement Committee

(ARIC) and specified the broad responsibilities of that Committee.

• While the relevant sections of the Act have not been proclaimed, many councils are forming an

ARIC in line with the legislation and in accordance with governance best practice. In October

2016, Council determined representation on this Sub Committee and elected Councillors

Croucher and Plibersek.

• An ARIC Charter has been developed and is attached to this report for consideration.

• A selection panel was convened for the appointment of three external, independent members to

the newly formed ARIC following advertising through an Expression of Interest in January 2017.


THAT:

1. The Sutherland Shire Council Audit, Risk & Improvement Committee Charter be adopted.

2. The following external, independent members be appointed to Council’s Audit, Risk &

Improvement Committee in accordance with the Audit, Risk & Improvement Committee

Charter:

• John Gordon

• Cliff Haynes

• Greg Smith

GOV019-17 VISUAL IDENTITY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• This report deals with proposed minor changes to the Council logo to improve visual identity.

• Since 1906 Council has periodically reviewed and updated its logo to remain relevant to current

circumstances. The current version of Council’s logo presents difficulties in translating to a

digital platform and should be evolved to maintain identity and relevance.

• Proposed changes to Council’s logo are minor and retain the image of Captain Cook. Further

work on Council’s visual identity will be undertaken within Council’s Community Strategic

Planning framework.


THAT:

1. Minor updates to Council’s logo, as detailed in this report, retaining the prominent image of

Captain Cook, be endorsed.

2. Council’s Style Guide be updated accordingly.

• Negotiations on purchase price have been ongoing since 2012 with the land owner and Council

jointly appointing a valuer who has made a recommendation on purchase price.

• However, the owner has since obtained a further valuation at a higher price and is claiming

hardship, requesting that Council purchase the property at the price recommended by his

valuer.


THAT:

1. The acquisition of Lot 7 Sec B DP 12157 and Lot 121 Sec B DP 12157 located at 7-8/1R The

SER019-17 ADDITIONAL COMMUNITY ASSETS AT KIRRAWEE BRICK PIT, 566-594 PRINCES HIGHWAY, KIRRAWEE

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• This report considers the removal of the water body from the Kirrawee Brick Pit park in

conjunction with additional community assets being located as a replacement (Resolution 9,

G0V001A-17).

• Library space was identified as the primary community asset to be considered based on a 2014

independent review by the State Library, identifying a 4,400m2 shortfall in library space across

the Local Government Area (LGA).

• The benefits and limitations of relocating the existing 2,600m2 retro-fitted library in Belmont

Street, Sutherland with a new, purpose built 2,500m2 library facility with 60 space underground

parking in the Brick Pit park concluded that additional space was preferred over a custom built

library facility.


THAT:

1. The removal of the water body from the Kirrawee Brick Pit park in conjunction with additional

community assets being located as a replacement not proceed and the reduced water body

option be confirmed as Council's preferred option.

2. Council retain the Sutherland Library at its present location and investigate utilising the

1,500m2 community space offered as part of the Brick pit development as an extension of

Sutherland Library, creating a technology information hub, and if found to be viable, proceed to

business case development stage for Council consideration.

REPORTS OF THE SHIRE INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE HELD ON 6 MARCH 2017

INF011-17 REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE FROM NORTH CRONULLA SURF LIFE SAVING

CLUB REDEVELOPMENT - PROJECT PHOENIX EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• A request for financial assistance and Owners Consent to lodge a Development Application

(DA) has been received from North Cronulla Life Saving Club in relation to the proposed

redevelopment of its Clubhouse building, Project Phoenix.

• The assistance sought is to waive the DA fees associated with the proposed redevelopment of

the Clubhouse building.

• This report examines past precedents in relation to previous surf club requests for the waiving

of DA fees and concludes that assistance should be limited to those fees payable directly to

Council and that the Club as Applicant remain liable for payments due to external bodies.

• This report also provides an update on progress with a revised Plan of Management for the

North Cronulla Life Saving Club building which incorporates the new building footprint and

conditions of use associated with the development. The report recommends that the General

Manager utilise his existing delegation to exhibit the draft revised Plan of Management.


THAT:

1. Subject to the resolution of the following issues to reasonable satisfaction of the Director Shire

Infrastructure:

• Delivery vehicle access across the existing Beachfront shared pathway; and

• Waste management and delivery vehicle access at the rear of the building

Owner's Consent to lodge a Development Application for the North Cronulla Surf Life Saving

Club redevelopment be granted.

2. Council waive Development Application fees payable directly to Council.

North Cronulla Surf Life Saving Club be placed on public exhibition.

Page 11


INF012-17 ALCHERINGA RESERVE PLAYGROUND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• The decision to close the playground at Alcheringa Reserve, Forest Road Miranda was made

due to safety concerns. The reserve and in particular the Scout Hall and playground, has been

the subject of repeated graffiti incidents.

• In consideration of the recent debate within Council, matters resolved, and feedback from the

Community there is an understanding that this playground is seen as a valued community

asset, it is therefore recommended that Council undertake interim repairs of existing equipment

at an estimated cost of $15,000 - $20,000. This is only a short term option.

• Any future replacement of the playground should follow completion of the Shire Life Strategy

with a better understanding of the future service level of Alcheringa Reserve.

• The response to this closure by the Community has identified the need for a more considered

approach to such closures to ensure that consultation is undertaken with the community

regarding such decisions which is explored within this report.

• The subject case highlights the immediate need for council to give priority to allocating greater

funding for asset renewal associated with core service delivery.


THAT:

1. The Alcheringa Reserve Playground be repaired to return it to service in this budget cycle.

2. A playground provision and management policy be developed in conjunction with Council's

open space and recreation strategy to determine the number, location and standard of

playground provision within the Shire.

3. Any future improvements or upgrades to infrastructure within Alcheringa Reserve be carried

out with prior community engagement.

4. A revised procedure for managing temporary playground closures involving sufficient

community engagement be developed in this financial year.

5. Council as part of its annual Capital Expenditure Program and its Long Term Financial Plan

preparation recognise the priority of funding renewal of existing assets as a key element of

maintaining service continuity.

REPORTS OF THE SHIRE PLANNING COMMITTEE HELD ON 6 MARCH 2017

PLN018-17 FLYING FOX CAMP MANAGEMENT - FOOD SHORTAGE & FUTURE

MANAGEMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• Council's dispersal licence has been suspended due to the ongoing food shortage for flying-

foxes in the eastern states of Australia.

• Due to this situation, poor animal condition and the existence of two flying fox camps 3.2

kilometres apart in the Sutherland Shire there is a higher risk of future dispersals failing and/or

the creation of new camps.

• Significant further funding will be required if Council decides to pursue future dispersal,

assuming Council is given approval and is able to meet licence conditions.

• It is proposed that currently allocated funds be utilised to match Local Government NSW grant

funding to implement actions that will reduce the amenity impacts of the flying-fox camp on

directly affected adjacent properties including residents and schools.


THAT:

1. The current suspension of Council’s flying fox dispersal licence be noted.

2. The uncertainty and risk of failure involved in conducting future dispersal actions at the

Kareela and Camellia Gardens flying fox camps be acknowledged.

3. Council progress, as a priority, the Kareela Flying-fox Camp Master Plan, which will provide a

long term vision for the Kareela site to make it less attractive long term as a flying-fox roosting

habitat.

4. Council provide a long and short term reduction of amenity impacts on directly affected

residential and non-government facilities by utilising current unexpended dispersal funds to

match the Local Government NSW $25,000 Grant.

5. In consultation and discussion with the Principal and P&C, Council provides such assistance

as it is able to reduce the long term and short term amenity impacts of Kareela Flying Fox

colony on Bates Drive School.

Page 13


6. Council calls upon the MP for Miranda, Ms Eleni Petinos to make urgent and appropriate

representations to the relevant State Ministers (including Health, Education and Environment)

for:

(i) additional funding to assist Bates Drive School and Council with the management of the

growing Kareela Flying Fox Colony, in the short term; and

(ii) the restoration of the Council’s licence to disperse the colonies, in the longer term.

7. Council calls upon the Federal MP for Hughes, Mr Craig Kelly, to make urgent and appropriate

representations to the relevant Federal Ministers for:

(i) funding to assist Bates Drive School and Council with the management of the growing

Kareela Flying Fox Colony in the short term;

(ii) the restoration of Council’s licence to disperse the Kareela Flying Fox colony in the

longer term;

(iii) consideration of the reclassification of Grey Headed Flying Foxes.

PLN019-17 DRAFT SOUTH DISTRICT PLAN

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• The Greater Sydney Commission has released an update to "A Planning for Growing Sydney"

and the draft District Plans for community input. Submissions are due 30 March 2017. A draft

submission is attached for Council endorsement.

• The Regional and District Plans set a new direction for Greater Sydney, focusing on three

interconnected goals - Greater Sydney as a productive city, a liveable city and a sustainable

city. The Plans set targets and priorities for employment and housing, as well as standards for

liveability and environmental health.

• The District Plan will set planning priorities to 2036. Council's future strategic planning and Local

Environmental Plans will be required to be consistent with the District Plan.

• The priorities of the draft South District Plan are fairly consistent with those of Council. The draft

plan does not require Council to pursue any radical new directions. However, the twenty year

housing target is yet to be released and this may necessitate more significant change.

• The main issues of concern relate to infrastructure capacity. The liveability of Sutherland Shire

is dependent upon good access by road and rail. However, the extent of planned growth in the

South and Central Districts cannot be reasonably accommodated without infrastructure

upgrades.


That the submission to the Greater Sydney Commission in regards to the draft South District Plan

as attached to this report as Appendix A, be endorsed.

Page 15


PLN020-17 DRAFT PLANNING LEGISLATION UPDATES 2017 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• The NSW Government proposes to update the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act

1979 (EP&A Act). The amendments seek to improve the planning system through greater

consultation and streamlined assessment of applications.

• The changes will result in a greater focus on strategic planning and implementing the aims of

the draft South District Plan. There will be more consultation at the strategic planning level but

less consultation will take place at the development stage. More development types will be

complying development.

• The Draft Bill does not provide sufficient detail for the implications of the changes to be fully

understood.

• Given that submissions close on 10 March 2017 an extension has been requested and an

interim submission provided to the department which is attached to this report for Council

endorsement.


That the submission on the draft Legislative changes attached to this report as Appendix A, be

endorsed.

Page 16


PLN021-17 DRAFT AMENDMENTS TO VOLUNTARY PLANNING AGREEMENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• The NSW Department of Planning has exhibited draft documents that provide guidance and

direction for the use of Planning Agreements, also known as Voluntary Planning Agreements

(VPAs). The draft documents work together to further regulate planning agreements. Some

important restrictions are proposed in the interests of good governance, and to address public

perceptions of planning agreements effects on planning decisions.

• Under the changes Councils must establish a strong policy framework for negotiating planning

agreements and provide greater transparency regarding how Councils will deliver the resulting

public benefits. These changes are unlikely to affect Sutherland Shire Council’s existing VPAs.

• Given the timing of the exhibition period, Council officers have submitted a draft submission

stating that it would be referred to Council for endorsement which is attached in Appendix A.

• With the implementation of these requirements Council should develop a comprehensive

Planning Agreement Policy to provide guidance for applicants, the community and Council’s

operations.


THAT:

1. The submission to NSW Planning and Environment attached as Appendix A, be endorsed.

2. Upon the new requirements coming into effect, the Strategic Planning Unit develop a Planning

Agreement Policy which meets the requirements of the practice note.

items from the Heritage Schedule of the LEP, the rezoning of neighbourhood shops B1 and the

rezoning of 48-50 Clio Street, Sutherland and 7 Preston Avenue, Engadine.

• Having considered the issues raised in submissions, it is recommended that the Planning

Proposal proceed as exhibited.


That the report on Results of Public Exhibition of Planning Proposal SSLEP2015 Amendment 7

(SSLEP2015 Amendment "Other Policy Matters") be deferred for discussion to the Council Meeting

to be held on 18 April 2017.

PLN023-17 PROCESS REFINEMENTS IN DEVELOPMENT ASSESSMENT – PANELS AND DETERMINATIONS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

• The previous Council considered a report on the operation of the Independent Hearing and

Assessment Panel (IHAP) and the Architectural Review Advisory Panel (ARAP) at its meetings

of 20 June 2016 and 18 July 2016 (EHR062-16, EHR061-16, CCL007-17 and CCL006-17),

which proposed a revised model for the operation of the panels to achieve efficiencies. Council

resolved to maintain the current arrangements.

• Since last considering these panels, Council reviewed its arrangements for delegation of

development application determining authority to staff. Also, a draft Bill proposing amendments

to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act) in relation to planning

panels is currently on exhibition, which ought to be taken into consideration.

• According to their terms of appointment, the term of the current IHAP and ARAP members has

come to an end. The above factors ought to be taken into consideration by the new Council as it

contemplates the future of IHAP and ARAP and considers recruitment of new members.


THAT:

1. The report "Process Refinements in Development Assessment – Panels and Determinations"

be deferred for consideration to the next round of Council.

2. The deferred report include a discussion of, and recommendations for the selection of

members of the new proposed panels and their terms of engagement.

PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to present the Draft Community Strategic Plan (CSP) to Council for

consideration prior to public exhibition.

BACKGROUND

Local councils in NSW are required to undertake their planning and reporting activities in accordance

with the Local Government Integrated Planning and Reporting framework.

The Community Strategic Plan (CSP) is the highest level plan that a council will prepare within this

framework and spans a period of 10 years. The purpose of the plan is to identify the community's main

priorities and aspirations for the future and to plan strategies for achieving these goals.

While a council has a custodial role in initiating, preparing and maintaining the Community Strategic

Plan on behalf of the local government area, it is not wholly responsible for its implementation. Other

partners, such as State agencies and community groups may also be engaged in delivering the long-

term objectives of the plan.

The CSP must address social, environmental, economic and civic leadership issues and be based

upon the principles of social justice.

DISCUSSION The Draft CSP is an update of Our Shire, Our Future, Our Guide for Shaping the Shire to 2030, first

adopted by Council in 1999 and subsequently reviewed in 2007 and 2011. It is based on the

aspirations, knowledge and ideals that were expressed by those who participated in an engagement

process to review the existing Strategic Plan. Historically over 25,000 residents and stakeholders have

been involved in planning for the long term future of the Shire.

In developing the new draft plan we have given consideration to where we are now and where we are

going. The plan has been developed through a process of ongoing research and consultation which

included a community survey involving over 800 participants. The plan incorporates this information

and is also based on knowledge that Council currently has about the local area and its people. It

considers the NSW State Plan that guides policy and budgetary decision-making; the Greater Sydney

Region Plan and the Draft Toward a Greater Sydney 2056 Plan; and other key strategies for the area

or region.

The completed plan outlines where we want to be, how we will get there and how we will know we

have arrived.

In particular, the Draft CSP includes the following community vision, which was supported by 99

percent of residents in the recent community survey:

"A connected and safe community that respects people and nature, enjoying active lives in a strong

local economy"

The desired outcomes of the Draft CSP are as follows:

• A community informed and engaged in its future

• A beautiful, protected and healthy natural environment

• A caring and supportive community

• A culturally rich and vibrant community

• A prosperous community for all

• A liveable place with a high quality of life

The Draft CSP must now be placed on exhibition for a period of 28 days prior to endorsement by

Council.

CONSULTATION It is proposed that the Draft Community Strategic Plan be placed on exhibition for a period of 28 days.

During this period, residents and key stakeholders will be encouraged to make a submission on the

plan for Council's consideration prior to endorsement.

Advertisement of the public exhibition will be undertaken through both traditional and social media.

Feedback on the plan will be encouraged through Council's "Join the Conversation" tool.

BUDGET AND RESOURCES There are no budget implications arising from this report.

POLICY The Community Strategic Plan has been drafted in accordance with the Local Government Act and

the Integrated Planning and Reporting Guidelines.

CONCLUSION

The Draft CSP is a whole of community document and will support the activity of all residents and

stakeholders in working towards the community's desired vision for the future.

RESPONSIBLE OFFICER The officer responsible for the preparation of this Report is the Director Corporate Support, Therese

Manns, who can be contacted on 9710 0317.

There is something special about the area nestled between the bays, rivers, beaches and national parks. It’s a place anchored in nature with a strong sense of community and an active lifestyle that is alive and evolving. That’s why Sutherland Shire is a place for life – it’s vibrancy brings people to life and makes it a place they want to stay forever.

Sutherland Shire Community Strategic Plan 5Sutherland Shire Community Strategic Plan4

The Community Strategic Plan outlines the community’s aspirations and long-term vision for Sutherland Shire.

It is based on collaboration between all levels of government, local agencies, residents and visitors of the Shire. It is a road map for the long term which will be used to guide shorter term planning and actions.

This plan is a community plan. It is prepared by Council in collaboration with, and on behalf of residents, other levels of government and agencies.

Responsibility for meeting the long-term community vision and desired outcomes rests with everyone.

Introduction

our visionA connected and safe community that respects people and nature, enjoying active lives in a strong local economy.

Our GoalsWe want to:

1. work together in Sutherland Shire as a community informed and engaged in its future

2. enhance and protect the beautiful and healthy natural environment of Sutherland Shire

3. sustain Sutherland Shire as a caring and supportive community

4. evolve Sutherland Shire’s culture and unique identity

5. progress the Sutherland Shire as a prosperous community for all

6. sustain Sutherland Shire as a liveable place where we can all continue to enjoy a high quality of life.

When the plan makes reference to “we”, it refers to the collective Sutherland Shire community including Council, government agencies, other organisations, as well as its residents.

Both our individual and organisational decisions and actions (or inaction) have a result or impact on our community life. They have implications not only for what we are working towards achieving but also what we are giving up to achieve something else.

The Sutherland Shire is a great place to live. More than 90 peercent of the residents we recently surveyed rated our quality of life as good or excellent. We highly value the natural environment that envelops us, the connected and caring nature of our community and the culture of the area that has evolved over 50,000 thousand years. We are immensely proud of who we are and where we live. The community strategic planning process provides an opportunity for us all to reflect on where we are and where we want to be in 20 years. Achieving the objectives of the Plan is everyone’s responsibility. Each level of government has a key role to play. We must also build and sustain productive partnerships with local businesses, community organisations and many others. And it is you, our community, who can provide us with inspiration as we plan for and deliver the outcomes described in this plan. Inevitably change and challenges will confront us, but together we have the skills and knowledge to capitalise on and create new opportunities that will continue to enrich our lives. As Mayor of the Sutherland Shire I am proud of Council’s role in facilitating the development of this Plan on behalf of our community. At Council we look forward to playing our part in achieving our community’s vision for the future.

PRINCIPLE 1: We recognise and respect Sutherland Shire is on Aboriginal Land.

We want to acknowledge and respect the traditional custodians of the Sutherland Shire, the Dharawal and Gandangara people and to encourage appreciation of their heritage and culture. The land of Sutherland Shire always was, and always will be, the land of the Dharawal and Gandangara people. By acknowledging this, we who now call the Sutherland Shire home are recognising our heritage, and can learn from this.

The Sutherland Shire has the distinction of being the first place of significant contact on the east coast of Australia between the original people of this continent and visitors from outside. From that meeting in 1770, the journals of Cook, Banks, Parkinson and others described the daily life of the local people. There is evidence throughout the Shire that shows that it was occupied prior to that first contact, for thousands of years.

Indigenous Australians are the longest continuous culture on Earth, dating back more than 50,000 years. We can learn a lot from their resilience to address our future sustainability challenges.

In some places of the Sutherland Shire the Aboriginal landscape including the Royal National Park, Heathcote National Park, and various reserves like Koolangarra Reserve at Bonnet Bay, and Delardes Reserve at Illawong conserve over 1,400 Aboriginal sites. These sites feature shell middens, grinding grooves, engravings, hand stencils and shelter art. These remind us of those who occupied this land long ago.

We want to acknowledge and honour the culture and heritage of the Dharawal and Gandangara people. We want to cherish and protect the middens, engravings and other cultural relics as they are irreplaceable and they are our shared cultural heritage that we can learn from for a sustainable future for all.

PRINCIPLE 2: We recognise the importance of social justice principles in Sutherland Shire.

The social justice principles of equity, access, participation and rights are fundamental to the development of our Plan. These social justice principles have been applied to Councils in New South Wales through the Charter of Local Government as set out in Section 8 of the Local Government Act 1993 which requires every council: “to exercise its functions in a manner that is consistent with and promotes social justice principles of equity, access, participation and rights”.

Equity: There should be fair and ethical decision making with process in place to prioritise and allocate resources with special consideration given to those in need. Everyone should have a fair opportunity to participate in the future of the community. The planning process should take particular care to involve and protect the interests of people in vulnerable circumstances.

Access: All people should have fair access to services, resources and opportunities to maintain and improve their quality of life.

Participation: Everyone should have the maximum opportunity to genuinely participate in decisions which affect their lives.

Rights: Everyone should be recognised and promoted, with opportunities provided for people from diverse linguistic, cultural and religious backgrounds, to participate in community life.

We want the principles of social justice to underpin the goals and the realisation of Our Community Plan. We want everybody to enjoy the benefits of living in Sutherland Shire.

Our guiding principlesIn developing Our Community Plan we have established a set of principles to guide its development and to guide the ongoing decision making in planning for Sutherland Shire’s community’s future. These principles will also help us assess the effectiveness of Our Community Plan.

PRINCIPLE 3: We understand the need for ecologically sustainable development.

To sustain our community socially and environmentally, decision-making for our community should effectively integrate both long-term and short-term economic, environmental, social and equitable considerations as follows:

The Precautionary Principle: if there are threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage, lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measures to prevent environmental degradation;

Inter-generational equity: that the present generation should ensure that the health, diversity and productivity of the environment is maintained or enhanced for the benefit of future generations;

Biological diversity and ecological integrity: the conservation of biological diversity and ecological integrity should be a fundamental consideration in decision-making;

Environmental costs need to be considered: that improved valuation, pricing and incentive mechanisms should be promoted – in assessing the costs and benefits of our actions, the costs to the environment need to be included.

We will embed the principles of ecologically sustainable development into Our Community Plan to ensure Sutherland Shire can be enjoyed by current and future generations.

PRINCIPLE 4: We want a resilient Sutherland Shire.

Urban resilience is the capacity of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses, and systems within a city to survive, adapt, and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks it experiences.

Chronic stresses: weaken the fabric of a community on a day-to-day or cyclical basis. Examples include ongoing issues such as inequality, lack of social cohesion and inadequate public transport.

Acute shocks: are sudden, sharp events that threaten a community. Examples include sudden incidents such as heatwaves, bushfires, floods, disease outbreaks and terror attacks.

Improving the systems and networks that make up a community will increase our resilience overall. Resilient systems withstand, respond to, and adapt more readily to shocks and stresses to emerge stronger after tough times, and live better in good times.

We will support urban resilience and the capacity of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses and systems within the Sutherland Shire to survive, adapt and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stress and acute shocks we experience.

The Integrated Planning and Reporting Framework

WHAT WE WANT

Together, we have developed an ambitious long-term vision that deserves commitment. While Council has a custodial role in initiating, preparing and maintaining Our Community Plan, Council is not wholly responsible for its implementation.

It is a plan which sets the direction for the whole of the Shire, and all of our community, including government agencies, business, the not-for-profit sector and our residents have a role in its success.

OUR COMMUNITY PLANOur Community Plan articulates where we want to be as a community in 10 years’ time, what we need to do to get there, and how we will know when we have arrived. It is the highest level plan for the Sutherland Shire.

The 10-year plan is supported by a suite of documents that outline how Council will contribute to fulfilling on the community’s vision and the activities and actions that will be taken.

Where we will be in 10 years Where we are now

OUR DEMOGRAPHICS TELL US:• 229,017 people called

Sutherland Shire home in 2017.

• We grow, but not as fast as other parts of Sydney do. Since 2011 our population has grown by 3% compared to the Greater Sydney area which has grown by 8.5%.

• We are a community of families. 38% of our households are couple families with two children and 10% of our households are single parent families.

OUR DEMOGRAPHICS TELL US:• We will have more

people in Sutherland Shire. By 2026 our population will have grown by over 21,000 people to 250,269.

• There will be more homes. The number of dwellings is forecast to grow from the 83,709 we had in 2011 to 96,009 in 2026.

• At the same time, the average household size will fall. Currently there is an average of 2.69

• We are a young community. We have a similar proportion of young people under 17 years Greater Sydney does.

• But we are also an ageing population. Many more of us are older than 60 compared to Greater Sydney.

• We are relatively affluent. 27% of our households earn over $2,500 per week. We have much lower unemployment than Greater Sydney (3.5% compared to 5.7%).

people living in each home. This will drop to 2.66 by 2026 because our population is ageing. There will be an increase in the number of couple households without children.

• More of us will be retired. There will be a 45% increase in those of us old enough to retire.

• But there will also be more people working. There will be a 7% increase in the number of people of working age in the Sutherland Shire.

• We love our cars. As a community we have much higher car ownership than Greater Sydney with 57% of households owning two cars of more (44% in Greater Sydney) and 18% owning three or more cars. Over 60% of us travel to work in our cars.

• We love the Sutherland Shire. We have the lowest rate of departures of any council area in Sydney. Only 4.3 per cent of Shire residents moved out of the area in 2013-14 - half the average departure rate across Greater Sydney.

• We are becoming more culturally diverse. While only 11.5% of our population speak a language other than English at home compared to 34% of people in Greater Sydney this is increasing over time.

• For the first time the largest increase in our population will be couple families without dependants.

outcome 1: SUTHERLAND SHIRE: A COMMUNITY INFORMED AND ENGAGED IN ITS FUTURE

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

A high priority for our community is improved community engagement and access to information about decisions that affect us, including more opportunities to engage with Council. A sense of community is the main driver for our community in achieving quality of life.

We understand the opportunity to improve community engagement including providing more information to enable better decision making and consideration of community views.

We know that an engaged and informed community is more able to participate in a meaningful way about decisions for Sutherland Shire’s future, particularly on areas of concern including development, growth, facilities and services.

WHAT YOU TOLD US

A new shop opens in Miranda, more families are living in apartments, we are living longer in our homes. Sutherland Shire adapts to change with residents engaged in the process, understanding and being kept informed about what comes next, confident their views will be heard about how our community is evolving and responding to community needs.

outcome 2: SUTHERLAND SHIRE: A BEAUTIFUL, PROTECTED AND HEALTHY NATURAL ENVIRONMENT


Our community strongly values our access to the special natural environment of Sutherland Shire, especially our beaches and national parks, our parks and nature reserves. We have over 650 parks and reserves and 3,000 hectares of land containing remnant vegetation. In addition to providing us with places to improve our health and wellbeing and build community, our natural environment cools our streets, and supports a more sustainable future for our Shire and our country.

However, our weather is changing, our city has experienced record-breaking heat trends, and at the same time our street tree canopy is reducing, making our streets hotter and increasing our energy bills. Our changing climate also has the biggest impacts on the most vulnerable members of our communities including our ageing population, our small children and our economically disadvantaged. We also have concerns about the impact of development on our beaches, parks and trees. We want to maintain our natural resources and our access to them.

WHAT YOU TOLD US

We want to protect and sustain our beautiful natural environment, including the streets and public places we live and play in. Residents, community groups, schools, Council, and developers all have a role in protecting our environment, and reducing our energy consumption, for the benefit of us and our future generations.

Swimming at the pristine beaches of Bundeena and Cronulla, immersing yourself in nature in our National Parks, whale watching from Cape Solander, boating in the sparkling clear waters of Port Hacking or Oyster Bay. Many come to play in the Sutherland Shire – but for us, it is home.

outcome 3: SUTHERLAND SHIRE: A CARING AND SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY


Through consultation our community has talked about the importance of having a sense of community. We want to belong to Sutherland Shire as a place and as part of a community. Access to quality community facilities and services to meet the needs of our growing community helps us to belong.

We have a high proportion of younger residents, but our future shows we have an ageing population, who may need additional care, community support and access to services. There are opportunities to create a stronger community through volunteering, inter-generational programs, the delivery of accessible community services and community celebrations.

WHAT YOU TOLD US

We want to ensure we can belong to Sutherland Shire and feel a part of a distinct local community life that is supportive of us all. A sense of belonging and connectedness that helps us feel better, cope better with challenges, be more resilient, and trust that we matter to each other, no matter who we are.

As you cross Tom Uglys or spot the first trees of the Royal National Park, you feel it. Home. A place where you belong. A place that feels safe. A place where we help each other to live our best possible lives. A place that cares.

outcome 5: SUTHERLAND SHIRE: A PROSPEROUS COMMUNITY FOR ALL


Investing in education and learning (from early childhood to later years) is not just good for those involved - but for communities as a whole. It can build neighourhood connections, bring more and better jobs to an area and improve local business and economic outcomes for everyone.

Our community is relatively prosperous, with low unemployment rates and high average household incomes. However, there are still disadvantaged people living in our community. In addition we need to reduce travel times to work outside the Shire. By helping our local economy grow and increasing opportunities for all in Sutherland Shire we build a strong base for our community.

WHAT YOU TOLD US

We want Sutherland Shire to be a community in which each and everyone of us can be educated well, where people can work closer to home, and where our local businesses prosper and provide more employment.

Our vibrant local centres are alive with thriving local businesses. Our schools and colleges ring with the sounds of people engaged in learning. Our local prosperity provides the foundation for how we live and enjoy life in Sutherland Shire

outcome 6: SUTHERLAND SHIRE: A LIVEABLE PLACE WITH A HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE


Quality of life is important to us. Around 90% of us rate our quality of life as good or excellent. However, we are concerned about traffic, congestion and local development detracting from our quality of life. We are an active community, and with recent and forecast growth, the use of our parks ovals and playing fields is nearing capacity.

How liveable Sutherland Shire is impacts greatly on our quality of life. Roads, parking, access to affordable housing, playing fields, and community facilities, and the design of our public spaces all influence the experience of life in Sutherland Shire. Even though we have been rated as the 4th safest place in Sydney, and we have 70% less major crimes than the local government areas with the most major crimes in Sydney, community safety has also been identified as a high priority.

WHAT YOU TOLD US

We want a liveable Sutherland Shire, where growth is balanced with social outcomes, where we can access a range of transport options, where our children and workforce can afford a home, and where we can maintain and improve our quality of life.

We are a place with access to places and programs for a good life. A place we can bench press in the parks, where we walk in wild places , where we can ride our bikes. A place where our commute is short, shopping is easy and new development is balanced with community places and spaces.
