As shown in Table 10, this programme will draw from existing moni<strong>to</strong>ring programmes, such as the macro-invertebrate moni<strong>to</strong>ring in streams, weed mapping within bushland reserves, canopy mapping across residential areas, the Community Environment Survey (2004) and the Town Centre consultations (in progress). The proposed programmes focus on sustainability and will measure and evaluate changes <strong>to</strong> both the physical and social environment. This will help Council and the community determine whether the various environmental, social and financial strategies and programmes are effective and meet the expectations <strong>of</strong> the residents <strong>of</strong> Ku-ring-gai.

This programme will focus on the urbanbushland interface <strong>to</strong> manage the problems <strong>of</strong> dumping rubbish, spreading noxious weeds and illegally clearing nearby bushland. Present resources are insufficient <strong>to</strong> manage these problems that in turn prevent the success <strong>of</strong> many <strong>of</strong> Council’s initiatives. This programme will <strong>be</strong> used <strong>to</strong> fund two rangers <strong>to</strong> provide site-specific education and, if necessary, use their regula<strong>to</strong>ry powers for enforcement. Table 11 sets out the proposed funding for the three main areas <strong>be</strong>tween 2005/06 and 2111/12. Table 11 Proposed projects <strong>to</strong> <strong>be</strong> run under the regulation and enforcement programme.

This programme also gives all mem<strong>be</strong>rs and groups in the Community the information necessary <strong>to</strong> apply for funding from the small grants scheme. This opportunity for community participation in developing local environmental projects is ongoing, and its success will depend on programme information <strong>be</strong>ing readily available with frequent updates and feedback.

Will the proposed variation (or part <strong>of</strong> it) have a once only or limited impact or will it <strong>be</strong> ongoing (ie. permanent addition <strong>to</strong> general income)? Council is seeking a 5 per cent special rate increase for a period <strong>of</strong> seven years, commencing 1 July 2005. This 5 per cent increase would <strong>be</strong> subject <strong>to</strong> annual rate peg increases, which have <strong>be</strong>en estimated at 3.5 per cent in Council’s 10 year financial model. Programmes and projects outlined in this proposal address generally long-term issues. Many <strong>of</strong> the initiatives are drawn from Catchment Blueprints, which are in themselves 10 year plans and the recently completed local catchment plans (the second generation s<strong>to</strong>rmwater management plans for Ku-ring-gai). Council strongly <strong>be</strong>lieves that the funds applied should <strong>be</strong> specifically restricted <strong>to</strong> those programme areas. Limiting the period <strong>of</strong> the variation <strong>to</strong> seven years and outlining the specific purpose are important components <strong>of</strong> transparency and accountability for Council. C. What <strong>be</strong>nefits does the Council expect will flow from this variation proposal? The Environmental Management programme descri<strong>be</strong>d in detail in Section 7A consists <strong>of</strong> plans for a 484671 Page 14
