Consultation has concluded
All Council policies need to be reviewed within 12 months after the Local Government Election. We now have a further two policies up for review. Changes made to the polices as part of this review process are outlined below:
Corporate Sponsorship Policy – The Corporate Sponsorship Policy was last reviewed by Queanbeyan City Council in 2010. Following the review of the Policy this year, most of the content from the 2010 document has been retained. However, the primary benefit of the review has been to restructure and streamline the Policy to make it more user-friendly for Council staff.
The revised Policy also aims to improve internal accountability for Corporate Sponsorship arrangements by creating an internal register to track and manage all Corporate Sponsorships, especially if the quantity of such arrangements increases into the future.
Footpath Management Policy – QPRC manages more than 210km of formed pathways across the LGA. This network is expanding annually through the gifting of assets associated with large subdivisions and through continuation of capital works funded through grants. In 2013, the former Queanbeyan City Council developed a Footpath Policy to formalise asset inspection requirements to minimise risks of trips and falls and to reduce insurance claims against Council, in line with Statewide Mutual guidance. The former Palerang Shire Council did not have a corresponding policy and therefore, the 2013 QCC Footpath Policy has been operational since merger. The new Policy includes the following changes:
Applies to entire LGA
Footpath hierarchy and inspection intervals has been revised and aligned to Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia (IPWEA) Guide Notes
Rectification requirements aligned to QPRC’s Customer Service Charter
Risk assessment approach included to determining maintenance programming
Prescribed condition calculations based on defects removed and condition aligned to IPWEA 1 – 5 condition rating methodology
