Expressions of Interest - Strategic Open Space Master Plan

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:32:00 GMT

Dubbo City Council has recently adopted an innovative Strategic Open Space Master Plan. As well as guiding the acquisition and development of the City’s traditional open space network into the future, the plan also introduces the concepts of “Park Streets” and “The City in the Park” concepts.

A key component of the City in the Park concept is ‘linking’ of the Macquarie River recreation corridor to Victoria Park along the Church Street axis. This involves the redevelopment of the intersection of Church and Darling streets adjacent to Victoria Park.

The redevelopment will result in the section of Darling Street between Talbragar and Wingewarra streets and Church Street between Bligh and Darling streets being transformed into Park Streets with a fully functioning but pedestrian friendly intersection at Church Street.

The new Darling Street ‘Park Street’ will complement the relationship between Victoria Park on its eastern side and the Civic Precinct including the new Regional Theatre and Convention Centre on its western side.

The redeveloped Church Street will become a friendly and inviting linkage between Macquarie River and Victoria Park.

Council is now inviting expressions of interest from suitably qualified firms and consortia in partnering with Council in developing an innovative and practical design for this project.

Expressions of interest should be marked ‘Civic Precinct Park Streets’ and addressed to:

General Manager
Dubbo City Council
Post Office Box 81 Dubbo 2830

Expressions of interest will be received up until Friday 5 March 2010

The Open Space Master Plan is located at YourCouncil/OpenSpaceMasterplan

Anti-vandalism campaign

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 22:54:00 GMT

Vandalism costs our community thousands of dollars every year. That money could fund even more sporting and recreational facilities for Dubbo’s young people.

Dubbo City Council is offering a $2500 reward for information leading to the conviction of a person who has vandalised Council property.

Comprehensive review of Council's future financial sustainability underway

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 04:55:00 GMT

Review Today Pty Ltd has been engaged by Dubbo City Council to independently ascertain, document and communicate the condition of Council’s infrastructure and finances as well as identify long-term funding needs and options.

In June 2009, Council resolved to make provision for engaging an independent expert to undertake the review, which got underway this week.

Former NSW Treasury Secretary Professor Percy Allan AM, who is Research Director of Review Today Pty Ltd, is being supported by a team of other experts from GHD Ltd and TreEnt Pty Ltd who have extensive experience in asset management and financial modelling.

Review Today Pty Ltd develops long-term financial strategies to help councils achieve the best balance between the competing goals of sustainability – sustainable services, sustainable infrastructure, sustainable finances, and affordable rates, fees and charges.

Dubbo City Council General Manager Mark Riley said maintaining Council’s extensive asset base – estimated to be worth around $997 million – was becoming more difficult given reduced resources.

The Minister for Local Government’s decision not to permit a special rate variation for Council in the 2008/09 financial year of two per cent for road infrastructure and two per cent for parks and landcare operations resulted in many vital City projects being put on hold.

“The issues of ageing infrastructure and their subsequent maintenance and renewals are still very much applicable to the problems identified some years ago which have still not been resolved,’’ Mr Riley said.

Professor Percy Allan is well known for his comprehensive report “Sustainability of Local Government in NSW”, commissioned by the Local Government and Shires Association (LGSA). He was also Chairman of the NSW Treasury Corporation and Secretary of the NSW Treasury Department from 1985 to 1994. Review Today has undertaken comprehensive assessments for councils such as Albury, Newcastle, Wollongong, Great Lakes, Greater Taree and Armidale.

“It is considered that Professor Allan is the pre-eminent person in the State for undertaking asset condition and financial capability reviews for multi-purpose local government authorities,’’ Mr Riley said.

“As General Manager, I consider the funding of this review to be most necessary and prudent to assist in ensuring the viability of Dubbo City Council into the future. Following completion of the review, Council will be in a solid position to consider future funding strategies. The Review Today approach provides an integrated solution to long-term community, strategic, financial and asset planning as required by new State Government legislation, which is estimated at 40% of the cost of undertaking separate consultancies.’’
