2011

ITEM NO: 9.1 This report provides Council with an update of activities undertaken within the Community Development program during October 2011 and is presented for Council’s information. GENERAL: This report provides an update of activities within the Cultural & Community Services portfolio and selected projects. Each Officer within the Community Development Team has prepared their own sections to appraise Council of operational activities during October 2011. REPORT: COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT October has seen a number of projects progress including the organization of the IAP2 (International Association for Public Participation) internal capacity building program for staff, scheduled to commence in late November. The program will be delivered over a 6 month period resulting in 24 Council staff trained in contemporary community consultation techniques, values and processes that are internationally recognised. The training will support positive implementation of Council’s newly endorsed Community Consultation policy and program across all departments. Recruitment has commenced for the Youth Community Engagement Officer. This position is provided for within Council’s five year Youth Strategy, Loud and Clear. The program will employ an asset based community develop model and deliver localised youth participation events and activities, by young people with young people in a supported developmental capacity.

PAGE: 2 REPORT NUMBER: 11C0121 KH:es SUBJECT: COMMUNITY & CULTURAL SERVICES TEAM REPORT – OCTOBER

2011 A recent application to the Federal Government under the National Binge Drinking strategy was submitted for substantive for a 2 year program, entitled The Friday Night project. The project is aimed at providing supported paid employment opportunities for young emerging arts/music producers. Employing an industry mentoring model the young recruits would help plan and deliver drug and alcohol free gigs and events on Friday nights – typically a period when risky drinking behaviours occurs. A number of non-government arts and community based organizations have partnered with Council to develop this proposal and will support the delivery of the project should the funding bid be successful. Following Council’s request to investigate the missing large rock memorial at the Qantas Hangar in Fannie Bay, staff have relocated the rock that formed part of the memorial, and arrangements have been made to replace the plaque at the expense of the developers who initially moved it. The Fannie Bay Historical Society have endorsed the interpretative text for the plaque replacement, which will soon be fabricated. In late October, the Manager Community Development delivered a keynote address at the Local Government Managers Association (SA/NT) Annual Women’s Leadership conference held at the Adelaide Convention Centre. The conference theme, ‘Unwrap Your Super Powers’ presented a positive opportunity to showcase Council’s Homeless Connect initiative. A new agreement has been negotiated with the Northern Territory Aids & Hepatitis Council to service Council’s syringe disposal units. The new agreement will include the provision of quarterly data reports, and will cover all of Council’s public toilets. COMMUNITY SERVICES (CSO) The Community Services Officer has carriage of disability services, community events, community grants, seniors and community development activities. Disability Advisory Committee (DAC) The Disability Advisory Committee met on 13 October 2011 and amongst the issues discussed were the possibility of the introduction of a RECHARGE Scheme across the Darwin municipality and access issues at Civic Park during the 2011 Darwin Festival. Community Grants Program Submissions for the funding of projects occurring in the first half of 2012 (1 January 2012 – 30 June 2012) through the second round of the 2011/2012 Community Grants Program were invited on 10 September. Submission closed on 14 October and 28 diverse and innovative applications received. Anti Poverty Week Anti Poverty Week 2011 was held from 16 to 22 October. CSO attended the Council sponsored talk by Mark “Squiz” Squirrell, author of From Arafat to Everest. The event was held at the NT Library and sought to raise awareness of global hunger.

2011 International Women’s Day 2012 CSO attended a planning meeting for International Women’s Day celebrations to be held in March 2012. The meeting was facilitated by a representative from the Anti Discrimination Commission and attended by representatives from community organisations, NTG departments and private sector companies. Numerous ideas for events and activities were discussed including the International Women’s Day Walk which is sponsored annually by Council and is scheduled for the morning of Saturday 10 March. Installation of Liberty Swing at Lake Alexander A Liberty Swing has been installed at the Lake Alexander Regional Playground with funding assistance from the Australian Government’s Accessible Communities program. Four all ability play panels are to be installed adjacent to the Swing during November. Web Accessibility Presentation CSO and members of the Disability Advisory Committee attended a Web Accessibility Presentation facilitated by NT Department of Lands and Planning. The presentation focussed on web design features and specific software applications that assist people with disability when accessing websites. YOUTH PROJECTS The Youth Projects section facilitates involvement of young people in Council’s processes and decision making, creates and hosts youth exclusive events and activities in partnership with young people, hosts a Youth Services trainee position, advocates for the needs of young people and coordinates youth specific community information tools. GRIND GRIND continued formal meetings in October. GRIND members went to Casuarina Square to promote the website and other GRIND activities resulting in the recruitment of new members. The GRIND team are working towards a Youth Art Exhibition opening December 15 in Council’s Community Art Space. Youth Advisory Group (YAG) The YAG’s formal meeting in October was replaced with a Council workshop on the Youth Energy Precinct (YEP). YAG, along with members of the GRIND team met with Council to discuss YEP. The meeting was attended by 25 young people who voiced their ideas and thoughts about the precinct. The Youth Advisory Group are continuing their work on the annual fundraiser, Quiz4Dili to be held 25 November, and have collected numerous donations for the event. Proceeds will benefit the Action For Change, youth led organization in Dili, Timor Leste.

2011 THE GIG GEAR The GIG GEAR community support program has been accessed four times over the month of October. The community groups were Top End Terror, Total Recreation Services, Nepalese Society and Corrugated Iron Youth Arts. NETWORKING YSO and the Youth Services Trainee (YST) attended the October DARWWYN meeting. ARTS & CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT The Arts and Cultural Development Officer has carriage of Council’s arts, culture, public art and music programs, implements Council’s Five Year Arts Plan and convenes the Arts and Cultural Advisory Committee. Public Art – Centenary of the Naming of Darwin Three local artists are currently in concept design stage preparing submissions for which the selection panel will reconvene and assess in late November. Recommendation by the panel for one concept to proceed to design stage will be subject of a separate report to Council. The project is aiming for a June 2012 install. Public Art – Nightcliff Tree Preliminary research has been undertaken and raised for discussion at ACDAC. The site is a complex one for public art. The limits on sculpting of the artwork, the prohibitive technical testing works prior to and after commission, as well as ongoing maintenance of artwork at the Nightcliff Tree have been assessed as prohibitive and it is recommended that the area be re-established as a garden bed. The earlier proposal that the tree base be made into a play area with playground equipment is also unsuitable. The tree base is within an existing garden bed and within a 1mtr (approx) distance of a retaining wall of 1mtr (approx) height making it unsuitable to establish it as a children's play area. Public Art – Pirriyangua Memorial (Mindil Beach) The 2nd of two scheduled pest treatments was completed on 28 October 2011 to the artist’s and pest company’s satisfaction. Signage and fencing is now in design and artist’s consultation phase. Prior to fencing and signage install a permit for works from Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority will be obtained. Public Art – HMS Beagle Ship Bell Chime - maintenance In August, maintenance works established that the power box was at fault. Programming is underway to re-establish the scheduled playing program. Occasional requests are made from community groups and members of the public for one-off playing, which are accommodated on an individual basis. Darwin City Council's Recycled Art Festival 2011 The second annual Recycled Art Festival will highlight the achievements of artists, schools and community organisations in creating art from recycled materials and promotion of recycling in the community. This year’s Festival will be held from Friday November 11 to Saturday November 12 inclusive.

2011 National Cultural Policy In partnership with the NT Government and Australian Government, Council hosted the National Cultural Policy Discussion Paper Forum at the Civic Centre on 20 September 2011. This forum, one of a national circuit, aimed to provide information and encourage community input into the development of the policy’s 10-year vision. Over 50 local arts representatives attended the consultation. National Cultural Policy submissions were sought and Council via ACDAC made submission. Live Music @ Your Library There has been a strong response following a call out in October 2011 via musicians and youth networks resulting in forward programming until February 2012, which will feature new and emerging artists. Community Art Space The Community Art Space is booked until June 2012, with some tentative bookings thereafter. In October/November the Community Art Space has hosted “Celebrating Childhood” Art Exhibition. The exhibition has received positive feedback from exhibitors and community members alike with over 100 attending. The exhibition will continue until 11 November 2011.

FAMILY & CHILDREN’S SERVICES The Family & Children’s Services Coordinator (FCSC) manages Council’s Community and Child Care Centres, the Fun Bus, Fun in the Parks, special projects and facilitates Council’s Civics program. Fun in the Parks Council’s Fun in the Parks is a school holiday program focused on primary school aged children.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 2012 and information and linkage to people who are homeless, without shelter or at risk of homelessness. On April 7th 2010, Council delivered its inaugural Homeless Connect event on World Health Day. The event enjoyed a high attendance rate and was bolstered by diverse community and business partnerships. Some 40 plus agencies and community groups supported the event and Council’s evaluation of the program indicated a strong need and motivation to deliver the event as a regular Darwin community activity. Council will be aware that the Federal Government’s State of Australian Cities Report released in early 2010 found that Darwin has the highest rate of homelessness in the country. In context, more than 276 people in every 10,000 are homeless in Darwin on any one night, a rate 39 times higher than Sydney. In 2011, Council hosted Homeless Connect on May 24th on account of the very wet and humid weather and the increased costs associated with hiring weatherproof infrastructure. The number of partnerships from community organisations, business donors, community groups and volunteers increased substantially this year. Volunteer numbers trebled, and in concert, 72 partnerships evolved to deliver Homeless Connect 2011. In addition to the key base services which included dental, medical, legal, housing/accommodation, ID support, government, transport, Medicare, Centrelink and counselling services, the event also attracted a diversity of non government organizations, community groups and donors bolstering guest offerings considerably. From donated hygiene packs, hairdressing services, restaurant prepared bulk hot dishes, bulk mosquito coils, fee waivers for freight, business donations, a cupcake and cookie drive, a widespread donation circle including Council staff and government departments who contributed to Op Shop stock and an ABS hosted community breakfast. The arts and music element was also strong, building on the inclusion and participation elements through the day. PARTNER FEEDBACK & EVALUATION Following this year’s event, a survey of partners was undertaken to help inform future planning. A total of 35 organizations responded to the survey in addition to the numerous feedback emails received. Key findings: Event scheduling 54% of partners (20 respondents) prefer that the event be conducted in the month of May. Event Location 73% of partners (27 respondents) prefer Casuarina pool as the event venue.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 2012 Event Planning and partnerships Each year a community development approach has been employed to build a shared vision. As partners are more familiar with the event and its conduct, a revision of its development was indicated. In shaping the event 45.9% of partners (17) prefer monthly meetings with a maximum of 3 meetings in the event preparation stage, supplemented by electronic communication tools. 29.7% prefer to keep the building process as is, with 21.6% of respondents preferring a Coordination Group. In view of the feedback, a monthly organising meeting will construct the event, coupled with electronic communications. Event service and wellbeing inclusions In participating in the event, all partners are asked to go beyond providing an information stall to include a practical response of some kind. Whilst there has been a high degree of willingness to provide and donate, partners frequently seek advice on what they might be able to provide. This year’s evaluation provides helpful insights for future coordination: 64.9% (24 respondents) would prefer to choose from a list of identified needs. 40.5% (15 respondents) prefer to attend the meetings to find out what is

needed at the time. 5% (2 respondents) expressed interest in purchasing a pre-organised

service/practical element. Guest Outcomes In terms of outcomes, the event attracted upwards of 700 attendees. When service providers reviewed capacity to engage with guests during and post event, the following data rates outcomes with the score of 1 indicating limited outcomes to the score of 5 indicating solid outcomes achieved.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 2012 Guest Engagement In planning future events, partners were asked to indicate their preference for guest linkage and engagement as a means of ensuring inclusive supported service access. Partners could indicate preference for a number of options ranging from full collaboration by supplying a dedicated staff member to exclusively support guest engagement to seeing the event remain as is, utilising connector volunteers. Data scored as follows; 20% (7 respondents) are interested to trial the provision of a staff member to

join a dedicated guest engagement team for the event. 14.3% (5 respondents) are interested to trial the dedicated guest engagement

team as a model but could not provide staff. 20% (7 respondents) thought a guest engagement team was a positive and

worthwhile model to employ. 20% (7 respondents) were unsure but were interested in developing a guest

engagement model further. 17.1% (7 respondents) would prefer to see this role remain with volunteers.

Community Awareness Whilst evaluation trends can guide the construct and delivery of future Homeless Connect projects, opportunity exists for more robust and purposeful community education activities during event week and in the project lead up period. In 2010, ABC broadcast it’s morning show live from the event and interviewed a range of service providers and event guests enhancing community education activities. This year, the ABC’s Charlie King emceed and contributed greatly to the inclusive and harmonious event ambience. ABC Radio also did live crosses and local print and TV media profiled the event. Generally media reports were complementary, however greater effort can be made to facilitate connection points with service providers and clients with media outlets who are seeking stories and information. Community awareness raising can grow understanding of the causes of homelessness, available services and ways in which our community can be more inclusive. Media opportunities can also be harnessed to help destigmatise homelessness and people who are homeless or without shelter. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Budget Item 05/221040 The conduct of Homeless Connect was achieved over the past 2 years via a time limited operational project budget allocation following the submission of a budget bid each year. Given the events are a national action now undertaken by all Australian

SUBJECT: LIBRARIES INFORMATION UPDATE FOR OCTOBER 2011

ITEM NO: 9.4 SYNOPSIS: This report is the result of a request for a monthly report detailing events and comments relating to Darwin City Council Libraries (DCCL) to be presented to each Community Services Committee meeting. GENERAL: This month we have advertised for a full time Library Assistant made vacant by Tara Harrison’s appointment to the Graduate Librarian position and a Senior Library Technician position made vacant by Lisa Ban’s appointment to the Karama Library Manager position. Verna Macauley also resigned from the libraries after 19 years with Council. Acting Deputy Lord Mayor Jo Sangster officially reopened the Karama Library on Friday 28 October. Since the refurbishment was completed in June this year 238 new members have joined the library. In the past month staff have created a special space in the library for the youth and all youth books are now shelved in this area. It has been very popular with the many young people who visit the library after school. Casuarina Library was closed for repairs and maintenance to the air-conditioner on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 October. The library reopened as scheduled on Sunday 23 October. The Learning, Living, Leisure program is available at all libraries. The sessions cater for small groups to receive introductory instruction on how to use the Internet and email. The Casuarina and City Libraries have Internet Clubs for customers to join once they have completed the introductory lesson.

PAGE: 2 REPORT NUMBER: 11P0012 KC:md SUBJECT: LIBRARIES INFORMATION UPDATE FOR OCTOBER 2011 Wireless Internet at Casuarina Library is very popular with customers. Conditions allow library members a download of 100Mb daily with no time limit and visitors can receive up to one hour free access. In the first four days of offering free access to visitors, there were 20 unique users and 32 sessions. COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT: Guidelines have been established with our contracted library supplier, James Bennett for the outsourcing of selecting resources for Karama Library. This year’s large print funding allocation from the library resource allocation has now been fully spent and items are in transit. A further order of large print and spoken word books from an outstanding credit with Southern Scene (the Australian supplier of large print and spoken word items) has been finalised. The new additions will greatly boost these popular collections at all libraries. In addition to this we have also exchanged the spoken word and large print collections between the four libraries to share the titles around. Overall we have added a total of 1373 new items to the libraries in the past month. CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES: Storytime and Babes’n’Books sessions continue to be well attended, particularly Babes’n’Books with up to 42 babies together with parents and grandparents at sessions. A special Halloween Storytime with Breakfast was held at the City Library on Saturday 29 October. Library staff conducted a storytime during Children’s Week celebrations at the Jingili Water Gardens. Staff promoted the children’s services to the groups and joined new members. Audience response to our program and interest in the stand was positive. Kaos at Karama Library on the last Thursday of the month was another huge group of fifty three very enthusiastic, loud and excited young people, including forty female students from Kormilda College. Kathy O’Brien conducted a felting workshop for the children. The Caught Read Handed (junior book club) and Read Hot Readers (youth book club) are held at the Casuarina Library each fortnight during school terms. A consistent number of children attend both groups with new children joining the groups on a regular basis. The October School Holiday Program went well with the theme of ‘Woolly Wonders’. One of our lifelong library customers Margaret Stehouwer was invited to assist with the delivery of the activities. Activities on offer were varied including, woollen key rings, learning to knit, making god eyes and weaving. The program proved to be a resounding success with all libraries fully booked and some amazing woolly wonders created, along with very colourful weaving and god eyes made. It was great to see boys having a go at the knitting. Library staff, together with Margaret, made a great team with many families giving praise to the program and feeling proud of what they had learnt and achieved in the sessions. A total of 134 children participated in the activities.

Library customers are invited to compose a poem with magnetic letters stuck on the fridge and enter the poetry competition. Australian Poet in Residence Sandra Thibodeaux presented a poetry workshop at Casuarina Library on Saturday 29 October to assist aspiring poets. Manunda Terrace Primary School has a display of children’s artwork behind the circulation desk at Karama Library. The children have been bringing their parents to the library to see their artwork. The Darwin Quilt from the Environment Protection Authority NT is also on display at Karama Library. STAFF DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING: The Public Libraries in the Northern Territory (PLNT) meeting was held in October. Library staff from Alice Springs, Palmerston, Nhulunbuy, Northern Territory Library and Darwin gathered for the annual face to face meeting. Items for discussion were, one library card for the NT, social media use in public libraries, e-audio books. Library staff attended a showcase of projects at the Northern Territory Library and brought back some great suggestions to the team. Ten staff attended the biennial Top End Symposium, themed ‘Connecting to the Information Future’ on 7 and 8 October. The City Library Manager Lynette Loone presented a short paper co-written with Emma Darby. It was titled ‘Social Media Builds Connections’ and was about DCCL’s use of Twitter. It was well received. Key note speakers of note at the symposium were Christine Mackenzie, CEO of Yarra Plenty Regional Library, Margaret Allen, CEO State Library of WA and Ellen Forsyth, Consultant for Public Library Services with the State Library of NSW. A great program with discussions focused on how libraries can use new and emerging technologies to connect citizens to information and services. It presented many ideas for public libraries.

ITEM NO: 9.5 SYNOPSIS: This report addresses Decision No.20\4291 (16/08/11): THAT a report be prepared for Council in relation to a Memorial Plaque for Greg McNamara and Lena Yali at the Darwin Entertainment Centre in the wake of their recent and unexpected death. This report describes a suggested process for actioning the Memorial Plaque, including family consultation, design and unveiling at the Darwin Entertainment Centre and is presented for Council’s consideration. GENERAL: Troppo Architects Directors Lena Yali’s and Greg McNamara contribution to the Darwin community was unexpectedly shortened when they were tragically killed in a vehicle accident in August 2011.

In view of their great contribution to the Darwin built environment Council resolved to pay tribute by way of a Memorial Plaque. A Memorial Plaque presents opportunity for a positive acknowledgement of the couple’s significant and unique contribution to the Darwin landscape and community.

Two sites have been identified for the location of the Memorial Plaque in the Darwin Entertainment Centre Precinct. Each has particular strengths:

Total $43,125 REPORT In 2004 Council established ‘Community Grants Program' with a funding pool of $100,000 per annum to support and assist community organisations in the development of activities and or services that benefit the broader Darwin community. Under the program, a pool of funds is identified from which community organisations are invited to make application for funding for various community projects. The funding level of the Community Grant Program is $100,000 per annum and is disbursed bi-annually in July and January each year. The Second Round of 2011/2012 Community Grants Program attracted 28 applications seeking grants to the total of $199,515.50. A summary detailing second round applications is attached (Matrix A) and includes Council officers’ recommendations against the selection criteria. Copies of full applications are available for perusal should the Committee have any specific queries. In total, 11 applications have been recommended for funding by Council officers to the total value of $50,367.00. The projects have been prioritised on the basis of outcomes in context of maximum benefit to the Darwin community. 5 applications have been recommended for the total amount applied for, whilst 6 applications have been recommended for partial funding due to limited amount of available grant funding. CONCLUSION The attached matrix presents a summary of applications received through the Second Round of 2011/2012 Community Grants Program for the Community Services Committee to consider and shortlist those it elects to fund. The funding available for distribution in the Second Round 2011/2012 is approximately $56,000.00. Council officer’s comment is provided for the Committee's consideration.

APPLICATIONS The report recommends funding for 11 projects to the total value of $50,367.00. The recommended projects meet the eligibility criteria of the Community Grants Program Guidelines and are deemed to be of benefit to the broader community of Darwin. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: In 2004, Council resolved to introduce a $100,000 Community Grants Program sponsorship pool to be allocated in two equal amounts bi-annually (Budget Item. 221006/300/320). Of this, an amount of $15,000 is to be withheld to allow consideration of any submission of interest to Council for out of round funding. Following distribution of funds to the value of $43,125 under the 1st round of the 2011/2012 Community Grants Program and allocation of $5,000 for an out of round funding request in July 2011, funding of approximately $56,000 is available in the 2011/2012 Community Grants Program budget. As the demand for out of round grant funding for the remainder of the financial year is anticipated to be low, it is recommended that funding of $50,367 be distributed for community projects in the current round of funding, with approximately $5,600 remaining for out of round requests. STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLICATIONS: The issues addressed in this Report are in accordance with the following Goals/Strategies of the Darwin City Council 2008 – 2012 as outlined in the ‘Evolving Darwin Strategic Directions: Towards 2020 and Beyond’:- Goal 5 Facilitate and Maintain a Cohesive Community Outcome 5.3 Support harmony within the community Key Strategies 5.3.2 Develop and support programs to promote community spirit, cohesion and

safety Community organisations entering agreements with Council for grants are to be held accountable for grant funds provided. LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: Nil.

COMMON NO:

1909479

SUBJECT: COUNCIL VOLUNTEERING - TOUR GUIDE ITEM NO: 9.7 SYNOPSIS: This report responds to a Council request to investigate the possible introduction of a Council facilitated volunteer tour guide program. National and local volunteering in response to tourism, community events and civic activities inform the discussion contained within this report. As 2011 marks the International Year of the Volunteer +10 (IYV+10), it is timely for Council to consider volunteering, as a means of building community participation opportunities whilst utilising local knowledge of the municipality and beyond. Volunteering is increasingly recognised as a key capacity building instrument in civic and community life. This report recommends Council support the already established Tourism Top End volunteer program by way of promotion and referral and consider resourcing its own capacity into the future. GENERAL: PREVIOUS DECISIONS Decision No. 20\3435 (16/11/10) THAT Council investigates the possible introduction of a volunteer tour guide program. REPORT Volunteering is a vital aspect of healthy community life, enhancing community wellbeing while fostering social inclusion. Just as pressures increase on community organizations to meet a diverse range of service needs within finite resources, the utilization of volunteers has expanded in the past couple of decades and continues

126

126

PAGE: 2 REPORT NUMBER: 11C0132 KH:es SUBJECT: COUNCIL VOLUNTEERING – TOUR GUIDE to expand. In this context, local government is well placed to consider authentic capacity building via volunteer opportunities for its residents. National context Utilization of volunteers across a multiplicity of sectors is well evidenced and growing. Adelaide, Brisbane, Perth, Sydney, Hobart and the City of Melbourne all deliver active volunteer programs, along with many local government authorities in regional centres. Earlier this year, volunteers made an enormous contribution to post flood recovery efforts in Queensland. Upon review of volunteering trends, it is evident that contemporary volunteering now extends across a diverse range of functions in both local government and community sector settings to the mutual benefit of the organization, its customers and the volunteer. Tourism volunteering has a substantive reach. Functionality includes administration, city ambassador(s), festivals and events, walking tour guides, heritage site custodians, museums, tour guiding, zoo tours, and tourism/visitor Information Centre services to name a few.

Tourism Ambassadors In the NT, a volunteer placement and support program is provided by Volunteering SA-NT who support organisations to establish volunteer programs, promote volunteer opportunities, provide preliminary training and help link volunteers with participation opportunities. In respect of Council’s resolution; there is at least one precedent for the establishment of a volunteer tour guide service. The City of Melbourne coordinates a Melbourne Greeter Service described as a free two to four hour walking orientation of the city for visitors to Melbourne. Greeters are passionate, trained volunteers who share their local knowledge. Tours accommodate up to four people and leave Federation Square each morning. Bookings can be made online and the service is offered in a range of languages catering to the diverse ethnicity of the tourist population, including English, German, French, Japanese and Mandarin (City of Melbourne, 2011). In a similar program, volunteers for the City of Perth operate a city based Information Kiosk providing informational resources to city visitors. The National Gallery of Australia, a major visitor attraction draws heavily on volunteer guides. The Gallery provides intensive training, ongoing education, a guides room (similar to a staff room), a range of Gallery benefits for the volunteer, and a wait list of applicants exists. The volunteers are recruited, trained and well supported in their roles and are considered a vital aspect of the Gallery operation (National Gallery of Australia, 2011). Parks Victoria also utilize volunteers across a variety of areas including guided walks and a bilingual guides program. Bilingual guides provide tours of parks to newly arrived migrants and refugees and are trained to lead park tours in languages other than English. The guides seek to reduce access barriers and foster inclusion (Parks Victoria, 2011).

127

127

PAGE: 3 REPORT NUMBER: 11C0132 KH:es SUBJECT: COUNCIL VOLUNTEERING – TOUR GUIDE Tourism Central Australia draw on volunteers in the operation of the Alice Springs Ambassador program. Volunteers provide information on attractions and historical places of interest, an airport welcome service, meet and greet Ghan arrivals, administration support and special events (Tourism Central Australia, 2011).

Locally, Tourism Top End offers a Tourism Ambassador Program supported by volunteers, albeit in a limited capacity. At the time of preparing this report, approximately 15 volunteers contribute to the program, which specifically caters for visiting cruise ships. Tourism Ambassadors assist visitors with information on Darwin and surrounding regions and provide current event, city sights and directional information for cruise passengers and crew. Volunteers are provided a uniform, training and must meet predetermined selection criteria. A time commitment of approximately 4 hours weekly is indicated. Recent contact with the Tourism Top End Membership Manager suggests it is a program area the organization would like to expand if resources were available.

Although volunteers support and add vibrancy to a range of Council activities, there is currently an absence of a coordinated service response. Existing programs enhanced by volunteers are youth, sister cities, arts, disability, seniors, major events, community events, Homeless Connect, libraries, and public space care. Should Council elect to expand its volunteer base to include a tour guide service, consideration of key success factors would be worthwhile. Upon review, sustainable quality volunteer programs include purposeful and targeted recruitment, readily available and ongoing training, education and support, volunteer benefits such as a uniform or free training, flexible scheduling, careful matching of volunteer interests with tasks and a well coordinated and administered program. Administratively, volunteer recruitment and assessment activities encompass screening, a range of ID checks such as Police checks, Referee checks, Ochre card compliance (function dependant), careful matching of task to volunteer to ensure mutual interests are met, training, education and ongoing support, debriefing as required, uniforms, scheduling and coordination. Summary Nationally, a substantial range of volunteer programs operate across a diversity of sectors, performing a variety of functions. Locally Tourism Top End operates a Tourism Ambassador program specifically to cater for visiting cruise ship passengers and crew. Whilst Council may have interest in establishing such a program, additional resources would be required to ensure program quality and success. Such factors include a coordinating resource, training, ongoing support, education, recruitment, screening, matching and administration. In the absence of a dedicated resource, Council could consider extending support to the Tourism Top End Tourism Ambassador program by way of referring interested residents to the program and by promoting it via Council’s communication channels, until such time as resources can be identified.

PAGE: 4 REPORT NUMBER: 11C0132 KH:es SUBJECT: COUNCIL VOLUNTEERING – TOUR GUIDE Although Council is currently supported by the generosity of a number of volunteers, the implementation of a volunteer tour guide program requires additional resources to ensure its success. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Nil. STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLICATIONS: The issues addressed in this Report are in accordance with the following Goals/Strategies of the Darwin City Council 2008 – 2012 as outlined in the ‘Evolving Darwin Strategic Directions: Towards 2020 and Beyond’:- Goal 5 Facilitate and Maintain a Cohesive Community Outcome 5.1 Facilitate community access and inclusion Key Strategies 5.1.4 Encourage and recognise volunteers Goal 6 Promote Brand Darwin Outcome 6.2 Promote our Darwin city Key Strategies 6.2.2 Promote Darwin as a place for tourists and residents to enjoy a tropical

lifestyle LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: All volunteer host organizations have a responsibility to provide volunteers with training for their role (including OHS training) and insurance. The Local Government Association of South Australia recommends that volunteers be provided with a Personal Accident Policy clearly specifying the Council activities in which the volunteer is engaged. Volunteers have a responsibility towards themselves and others to work safely and in accordance with Occupational Health and Safety legislation. Confidentiality, corporate expectations and the like must also be provided for in program establishment and training. Depending on the nature of the volunteer duties, Ochre card compliance(role dependant) and Criminal Records check would also be required.

PUBLIC RELATIONS IMPLICATIONS: There is potential media interest in any Council activity and potential issues or media interest is brought to the attention of the General Manager, Community & Cultural Services. COMMUNITY SAFETY IMPLICATIONS: Current and future Council volunteers require screening, training, support, post event debriefing (as required) and occupational health and safety education. DELEGATION: Nil. CONSULTATION: Volunteering SA-NT Tourism Top End Membership Manager Chief Officers Group Local Government Association (SA) – “Covering All Bases” PROPOSED PUBLIC CONSULTATION PROCESS: Should Council elect to support the Tourism Top End (TTE) Tourism Ambassador Program, preliminary discussion would need to consider timing of potential Council promotion to ensure targeted recruitment complements TTE operational demands. Cost efficient promotions could include profiles of TTE Tourism Ambassador volunteers on Council’s web site, a call to action via the My Darwin quarterly publication and inclusion of volunteer opportunities in Community Services publications. APPROPRIATE SIGNAGE Nil.

SUBJECT: FRIENDSHIP LINK - INVESTIGATION OF LINK BETWEEN DARWIN,

AUSTRALIA AND BALI, INDONESIA SEPTEMBER 2011

ITEM NO: 9.10 SYNOPSIS: This report assesses the recent request to establish a Sister City or Friendship link with Bali, Indonesia with proposed recommendations for Council’s consideration. GENERAL: PREVIOUS DECISIONS Decision No. 18\5911 (28/10/03) A. THAT Report Number 03C0400 LMG:kl entitled, Requests for New Sister City

Relationship, be received and noted. B. THAT new requests only be considered in line with program resources, aims

and budget. C. THAT the policy for assessment of Sister City relations and friendship

agreements be reviewed. Decision No. 18\5190 (12/06/03) & Policy Context An assessment criteria for the formation of Sister Cities relationships was adopted by the Sister Cities Management Committee in June 2003. The criteria is described below for reference and specifies the following: A THAT Report Number 03C215 LMG:kl entitled Sister City Assessment

Criteria, be received and noted.

141

141

PAGE: 2 REPORT NUMBER: 11C0126 HB:es SUBJECT: FRIENDSHIP LINK - INVESTIGATION OF LINK BETWEEN DARWIN,

AUSTRALIA AND BALI, INDONESIA SEPTEMBER 2011 B. THAT a two-tier level of affiliations with cities and towns seeking Sister City

status with Darwin be adopted:

i. The existing Sister City relationship which provides a formal agreement to develop and maintain a substantive program with mutual long-term benefits.

ii. A 'friendship' relationship which would consist of a less formal

arrangement with less administrative and financial expectation, which may be appropriate in meeting short term needs and supporting programs run by other sections of the community.

C. THAT prior to a sister city relationship agreement being formalised, the two

cities establishing an affiliation enter into a friendship relationship to explore the potential benefits.

and FURTHER THAT the friendship agreement be reviewed on an

annual basis at which time any decision to upgrade the affiliation to that of a Sister City relationship based on actual program outcomes or to discontinue the affiliation, may be made.

D. THAT the consideration of new Sister Cities be based on an assessment of

historical links and cultural and social, economic and educational benefits for the city which may flow from the identified relationship.

E. THAT existing relationships be reviewed every five years based on the above

criteria to ensure relevance in view of global change and to ensure that the original objectives are still appropriate and achievable.

F. THAT Sister City relationships may be re-classified to become friendship links

if sustainability it no longer a viable reality. G. THAT the following factors be considered in choosing or reviewing a Sister

City:

General: 1. Population and demographics (nationals of one Sister City residing in

the other) 2. Geographic location and assets (eg Port, Frontier) 3. Ease of access 4. Comparison of key industries 5. Existing linkages (eg student exchanges) 6. Relevance to local community 7. History of relations and/or cooperation in political, economic,

commercial and cultural fields

142

142


AUSTRALIA AND BALI, INDONESIA SEPTEMBER 2011

Economic: 1. Similar economic conditions 2. Trade and investment climates and opportunities 3. Tourism potential's Social: 1. Similar social infrastructure and issues 2. Opportunity for broad based activity 3. People to people interest, energy and commitment Educational: 1. Across economic, social and environmental issues 2. Student / teacher exchange programs 3. University linkages

and FURTHER THAT in considering the above factors, it is necessary to compare not only the

similarities, but the potential for these similarities to provide mutual benefit within the existing scope and limitations of the program.

H. THAT no more than one Sister City and one Friendship affiliation be

established with any one country, except in exceptional circumstances. I. THAT any potential Sister City relationships only be explored once mutual

interest has been established between Darwin City Council and the municipal authority of the complementary city.

REPORT Background Council currently has six Sister Cities; Ambon, Indonesia, Anchorage, United States of America, Dili, Timor-Leste, Haikou, China, Kalymnos Greece and Milikapiti, Tiwi Islands. Five of Council’s six Sister Cities have community advisory committees. Committees comprise of four to six community members and up to two Elected Members. Committees meet regularly and advise on projects to be undertaken between Darwin and its Sister Cities and provide Council with vital community based linkages. Four out of the six Sister Cities have been operational for over 20 years, with the most recent Sister City being Dili, Timor Leste signed in 2003. Since inception, the Sister Cities program has undertaken a plethora of projects across a number of fields including the arts, education and sport to further the person-to-person linkages between Darwin and its Sister Cities. Projects completed in 2011 include; the Anchorage and Darwin Art Exchange, Dili learns the BIG GIG, Haikou Sister City Dance Commission, exchange of two students and teacher from Ambon as well as medal sponsorship for the 2011 Oceania Pan Hellenic games.

143

AUSTRALIA AND BALI, INDONESIA SEPTEMBER 2011 The Sister Cities program engages with a wide range of external partners including State and Federal Government Departments, Non Government Organisations and Schools, as well as internal stakeholders such as the Libraries and Waste Management and Infrastructure Sections in delivering project outcomes. Additionally Council has two Friendship cities, Honolulu, United States of America and Galapagos, Ecuador. Friendship links are less formal agreements with less administrative and financial expectation. Based on Friendship Link status, no projects have been entered into between Darwin and its Friendship Cities. Linkage Request A request was received in August 2011 from the then Administrator of the Northern Territory, the Honourable Mr Tom Pauling, to investigate the possibility of establishing a Sister City or Friendship Link with Bali, Indonesia. His Honour outlined a number of partnership aspirations, particularly in the Health sector, between Bali and Darwin that could progress under a formal agreement, such as a Friendship agreement. Darwin maintains a number of connections and beneficial relationships with Indonesia. The Royal Darwin Hospital, Charles Darwin University and Rotary International, to name a few, have their own established relationships and exchange programs enabling the sharing of knowledge, information and culture. Additionally the Consulate for the Republic of Indonesia has a permanent office in Darwin, with staff that are dedicated to furthering connections between Darwin and Indonesia. Along with Councils Sister City relationship with Ambon, there are a number of connections already established between Darwin and Indonesia. Whilst Council already has an active Sister City relationship within Ambon, Indonesia, there is potential for a Friendship link with another city in Indonesia. Sister City Policy Council’s detailed policy framework is described within Decision No. 18\5190 as appears earlier in this report. According to the policy, there shall be only one Sister City and one Friendship Link established with any one country, except in exceptional circumstances. Council has an established and active Sister City relationship with Ambon, Indonesia, therefore inline with Council policy, only a Friendship Link may be considered with Bali, Indonesia (unless exceptional circumstances exist). Friendship Link Friendship links are a less formal arrangement to which there are no administrative or financial commitments. Given the original request to establish connections between Darwin and Bali through Health and Education, a Friendship Link will be a formal gesture of goodwill strengthening a number of burgeoning partnerships already in development whilst supporting potential for further initiatives between Darwin and Bali.

AUSTRALIA AND BALI, INDONESIA SEPTEMBER 2011 Project Plan A key element to the establishment and success of a Sister City or Friendship agreement is mutual interest from both parties, indeed it is a requirement of the Sister City policy. Unless interest is established in Bali, it is unclear as to the scope for progression. Stage Timeline Resources Identify appropriate municipal authority

December 2011 – January 2012

Senior Community Development Officer – Liveability

Ambon Sister City Community Committee

Consulate of the Republic of Indonesia

Invite municipal authority to consider Friendship link Undertake assessment and report to Council

February 2012 – March 2012

Senior Community Development Officer – Liveability

Identified Indonesian Municipal Authority

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Based on the assumption that only a Friendship Link is investigated there will be limited financial implications. Friendship Links require minimal administrative support and have no budget allocation. Should Council wish to formalise a Friendship Link with Bali, Indonesia at a later stage the Lord Mayor or a representative of Council will be required to travel to Indonesia to complete signing of the agreement or potentially host a delegation from Bali. STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLICATIONS: The issues addressed in this Report are in accordance with the following Goals/Strategies of the Darwin City Council 2008 – 2012 as outlined in the ‘Evolving Darwin Strategic Directions: Towards 2020 and Beyond’:- Goal 6 Promote Brand Darwin Outcome 6.2 Promote our Darwin city Key Strategies 6.2.4 Strengthen international relationships through Sister Cities and other activities LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: None pertaining to this report.

RECHARGE SCHEME AND CIVIC PARK ACCESS REPORT

ITEM NO: 9.11 SYNOPSIS: This report presents the minutes of the Disability Advisory Committee (DAC) meeting held on 13 October 2011 (Attachment A) for Council’s information and details the recommendations arising from the minutes for Council’s consideration. GENERAL: The minutes of Council’s Disability Advisory Committee (DAC) meeting of 13 October 2011 are presented for Council’s information and consideration of the recommendations arising from the meeting is requested. RECHARGE SCHEME The RECHARGE Scheme was instigated by Nillumbik Shire Council in Victoria and encourages local businesses and organisations to provide a power point so that batteries on electric wheelchairs and scooters can be recharged when their users are out and about in the community. The Scheme is currently operating successfully in Victoria but a proposal to rollout the Scheme nationally has stalled due to lack of funding. As the Scheme has been proven to be helpful to users of electric scooters and wheelchairs interstate, DAC suggested that Council investigate the introduction of a similar scheme in the Darwin region to assist local residents. RECOMMENDATION: THAT Darwin City Council investigate the introduction of a RECHARGE Scheme into the Darwin area to assist users of electric scooters and wheelchairs in recharging their mobility devices when out and about in the community.

REPORT The Dili Sister City Community Committee met on 20th September 2011. The Committee discussed and confirmed its direction for the 2011/12 financial year and agreed on a financial contribution to the No. 3 School Tuana-Laran proposal. Committee Direction for 2011/12 Given that the Committee continues to be approached by a variety of organisations undertaking projects in Timor, it was necessary for the Committee to re-assess their strategic focus for the 2011/12 year. After discussion, members agreed they should continue to support projects that focused on youth and education. Members also agreed that they should continue to work with current project partners, and expand linkages between Darwin and Dili schools and youth organisations. No. 3 School Tuana-Laran Project Objective Strengthening international relations by supporting development of basketball facilities. Background In April 2011 the Dili Sister City Community Committee Chair travelled to Timor-Leste to visit schools that had approached her for support. One of these schools was No. 3 School Tuana-Laran. During the violence in 1999 the Tuana-Laran School was destroyed. It was not until 2009 that the Timor-Leste Government rebuilt two new classrooms at the school. In 2011 there are 640 students from ages 5 – 13 enrolled at the school and 20 teachers. A morning and afternoon schedule of schooling in undertaken to accommodate all students in the very limited facilities. There is no playground or sporting facilities at the school. The Principal of the school has indicated that students would benefit from the development of a basketball facility at the school. Project Plan It is proposed that Council provide a financial contribution to the development of basketball facilities at the No. 3 School Tuana-Laran. The Committee agreed that the remainder of the 2010/11 budget, $660 should be allocated to this budget. This will enable the school to purchase the cement required for the basketball court. Works will be undertaken by local suppliers. Council will provide a plaque to include with the new facility to show project sponsors.

Soccer is a widely loved sport in the Timorese community and the friendly competition is the focus of the event. The Timor Cup is held every two years. This year it is to be held in Darwin and hosted by the East Timor Brothers United. It is expected that two teams from Timor Leste, based in Dili, will participate in this year’s competition which will also include teams from Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth and Portugal. Athletes will arrive 27 December 2011 with the Games beginning the following day. 31 December 2011 and 1 January 2012 are designated rest days. Games will recommence 2 January and the closing ceremony will be on 7 January 2012. The East Timor Brothers United are seeking financial and in-kind support from the Darwin community in order to host the event.
