Council Meeting

27 October 2020

Item No: C1020(2) Item 2

Subject: Proposed 'Inner West Fest 2021' Program in Response to Ongoing Covid-19 Impacts

Prepared By: Michael Daly - Events Manager

Authorised By: Elizabeth Richardson - Acting Chief Executive Officer

RECOMMENDATION

THAT Council approve the Inner West Fest 2021 proposal as an alternative events program for 2021 due to COVID-19 impacts.

DISCUSSION

Covid-19 has made delivery of large-scale Council events such as Bairro Portugues, Marrickville Festival and Dulwich Hill Festival uncertain for the foreseeable future. Inner West businesses in the creative, hospitality and related industries have been hit hard by the impact of Covid-19. Research indicates people are currently not comfortable returning to their previous behaviours such as attending large-scale mass gatherings.

In response to the Covid-19 impacts on the Inner West community it is proposed that IWC introduce a community led activation model which can focus on multiple smaller gatherings that operate within government restrictions. By offering a Covid-19 safe calendar of event activations for 2021, this model will ensure that community and cultural activities can take place in the Inner West that will contribute to local businesses, creatives, cultural groups and our community as a whole.

The proposed Inner West Fest 2021 is an activation program created by the community in conjunction with IWC that focuses on reconnecting the community that is emerging and adapting to Covid-19 restrictions.

The Inner West Fest 2021 Activation Model will:

· align with Council’s pre-Covid-19 events program

· activate Inner West precincts previously not attached to a legacy event

· generate incomes into businesses impacted by Covid-19 including the creative and hospitality sectors, increasing footfall into businesses and increasing economic development activity

· provide an opportunity for the community to reconnect

· utilise existing spaces with controlled capacities ensuring that event activations are Covid-19 safe.

Given the significant uncertainty regarding the return of large-scale festivals into the foreseeable future, this initiative will replace all of Council’s large-scale festivals that were scheduled for 2021, whilst civic programs such as Anzac Day, International Women’s Day, etc., will be delivered in a Covid-19 safe manner within government restrictions. The program will be designed in two stages (six months each) to build in flexibility and responsiveness regarding to potential changing public health restrictions. Currently the NSW Health Public Health Orders permit a maximum of 500 people to gather in an outdoor public place, for a musical performance only. Indoors activations are permitted larger numbers under certain conditions.

The Inner West Fest 2021 programs will be developed in a way that will mirror the timing and locations of Council’s scheduled events and festivals program that cannot be delivered due to COVID impacts. Proposed timings for precinct-based festivals will be as follows:

Ward	Suburbs	Tentative dates
20/21 Financial year
Baludarri	Lilyfield, Rozelle, Balmain, Balmain East, Birchgrove	12-28 March 2021
Gulgadya	Croydon, Haberfield, Leichhardt, Annandale	14-23 May 2021
21/22 Financial year
Djarrawunang*	Ashfield, Summer Hill, Dulwich Hill, Croydon Park	17-26 September 2021
Midjuburi*	Marrickville, St Peters, Sydenham, Tempe	15-24 October 2021
Damun*	Camperdown, Petersham, Lewisham, Newtown, Stanmore, Enmore	19-28 November 2021

*Pending budget approval in 2021/22 Operational Budget.

This proposal also responds to calls from the creative sector seeking greater support due to the significant Covid-19 impacts. IWC will invite business owners, creative collectives, local artists, neighbours and community groups to apply as part of an Expression of Interest process, which will encourage applications with innovative ideas and concepts.

Funds from IWC’s budgeted events program would be made available for this initiative. It is estimated that in the order of $400,000 can be applied to this program over 2021 from Council’s current event budget due to the Covid-19 impacts on event delivery. This will allow for the even distribution of funds across the five Inner West Fest 2021 festivals. Successful applicants will receive funds as per an agreed budget and be assigned an experienced event producer from Council to support the development of the project by providing expertise and advice. Successful applicants will be the lead on their project, with support from Council through development to delivery.

Proposed Schedule & Marketing

November 20	Program announcement
November 20	EOI’s open for events taking place March – June 2021
November 20	EOI’s close
December 20	Successful projects for March – June announced
February 21	Review government restrictions to determine commencement of Stage 2
February 21	EOI’s open for events taking place September – November 2021
March 21	Stage 1 – BALUDARRI and GULGADYA festivals commence (funded by 20/21 budget)
April 21	Successful projects for July – November announced
July 21	Funds released for 21/22 events from EOI process
September – November 21	Stage 2 – DJARRAWUNANG, MIDJUBURI and DAMUN festivals commence (funded by 21/22 budget)

A focused marketing campaign will be devised to individually promote each Inner West Fest 2021 precinct festival. All events will be marketed under the umbrella of Inner West Fest 2021 and IWC will undertake extensive marketing and promotions campaigns to support to ensure the community understands the connection between Inner West Fest 2021 and Council’s existing events program.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The model will be delivered within current operating budget.

Council Meeting

27 October 2020

Item No: C1020(2) Item 6

Subject: Community Gardens Policy

Prepared By: Kate Jackson - Coordinator Community Sustainability

Authorised By: Elizabeth Richardson - Acting Chief Executive Officer

RECOMMENDATION

THAT Council:

1. Adopts the Community Gardens Policy; and

2. Rescind the existing community garden policies: Leichhardt Council Community Garden Policy 2011 and Ashfield Council Community Gardening Policy 2012.

DISCUSSION

The Community Gardens Policy creates a framework for Council to support community gardens. It enables a consistent approach to agreements for community gardens on Council land and the future establishment of new community gardens.

The Policy was on public exhibition for 30 days and Council received 36 submissions, with the majority of respondents in support.

A copy of the engagement outcomes report can be found via the below link:

https://yoursay.innerwest.nsw.gov.au/community-gardens-policy?tool=news_feed#tool_tab

Council exhibited the Draft Community Gardens Policy for 30 days from 11 August to 9 September 2020. Feedback was also invited on the draft Community Gardens Guidelines, which support policy delivery through practical guidance for community members.

During the public exhibition, 896 visitors viewed the project page and 36 participants provided feedback with both the Policy and the Guidelines supported by the majority of respondents.

Submissions highlighted the benefits of community gardens and reinforced that they should be open, accessible and inclusive. Clarification was requested on some areas including requiring raised garden beds, public access, and insurance requirements.

Recommended amendments to the draft Policy for adoption are shown in Table 1 below. No change is recommended in relation to the requirement for new garden beds to be raised. The Guidelines have been updated to clarify that the requirement for raised beds is to prevent expensive and unnecessary soil contamination testing by community garden groups. A precautionary approach has been adopted in the Policy because soil contamination testing is costly and technical. It is likely to create a cost burden for groups that has little benefit because of the very high likelihood that any testing will confirm soil contamination is present.

Staff will provide ongoing advice and guidance for community garden groups to support delivery of the new Policy.

Table 1: Post-exhibition amendments to draft Community Gardens Policy

Section of Policy and issue raised during exhibition

Policy amendment

Section 7.1.6

Ongoing requirements

Policy needs to clarify/strengthen the requirement for community access

Amend draft Policy wording to:

Generally, community garden groups are expected to:

· Ensure the public can visit the community garden at all times

Section 7.1.8

Risk management and insurance

Policy needs to clarify:

· Community insurance requirements

· registering volunteers

Amend draft Policy wording to:

All community garden groups working on Council land must satisfactorily complete a risk management process before a licence or deed to undertake community garden work is developed. It is essential that community garden groups identify and manage risks associated with undertaking a publicly accessible community garden project and maintain a record of activities undertaken by members and helpers. Council and groups have a duty of care to maintain a safe environment for the community who access community gardens.

Council requires community garden groups working on Council land to hold appropriate insurances. Council has personal injury insurance cover for individuals undertaking approved community garden activities. However, community garden groups must ensure they take out public liability insurance cover to the value of $20,000,000 for any third-party claims.

Any claim made against Council’s insurance policy for an individual will be subject to an assessment by Council’s insurer to determine whether the claim meets the requirements of the policy, whether there is a record of activities undertaken and by whom and whether appropriate risk management and safety practices have been adhered to by the individual.

LTC1020 Item 10 Signage at Paul Street and Weston Street intersection, Balmain East

Clr Macri received a request for signage at the intersection of Paul Street and Weston Street be investigated. The resident making the request stated motorists travelling on Paul Street often believe that the One-Way sign at the entry of Illoura Reserve applies to Weston Street, leading them to turn right into the No Through Road side of Weston Street. The resident suggested moving the One-Way sign to the southern side of the Illoura Reserve entry to clear up the confusion. Council Officers will investigate signage at the intersection.

LTC1020 Item 11 Request for timed parking around Enmore Park

Clr Macri, on behalf of a resident, requested that Council investigate installing timed parking around Enmore Park to deter long-term parking from campers. Council Officers will investigate this request.

LTC1020 Item 12 Petition for improvements to Edward Street, Summer Hill

Clr Macri tabled a petition from residents of The Flour Mill, Summer Hill, requesting improvements to Edward Street and surrounding streets to address pedestrian and road safety. The petitioners requested for:

· Improvements at the intersection of Edward Street, Mungo Scott Place and Wellesley Street to address poor visibility for vehicles exiting Mungo Scott Place;

· Marked (zebra) pedestrian crossing on Edward Street;

· Resealing of Edward Street road surface;

· The intersection of Old Canterbury Road and Edward Street to be signalised in the future.

Council Officers will investigate these requests.

This concluded the business of the meeting.

Council Meeting

27 October 2020

Item No: C1020(2) Item 12

Subject: Question on Notice: Inner West Council: Solar Panel output

From: Councillor John Stamolis

Background

Inner West Council’s Climate and Renewables Strategy is focused on rapidly increasing solar and renewable energy generation. Part of this strategy is to implement solar capacity on Council’s assets.

Council’s website currently identifies 38 locations where it has installed solar panels. The old Leichhardt Council has 50% of these locations. Council’s solar capacity from those 38 locations is 407.4 kwh. The old Leichhardt Council accounts for almost half of this solar capacity (47.5%).

Based on those 20 locations for which output data were provided by Council in 2019, the old Leichhardt Council provided 63.3% of solar output.

Note: Review and validation of the data provided in this item and/or any other improvement of Council’s solar data would be a core requirement of this question on notice. A stated above the output data in this item relate to 20 installations (in 2019) for which data are available.

Response

In FY 2015/16, Inner West Council had a total installed solar capacity of 273.6kW. By end 2020 calendar year, the total installed capacity will have increased to 615kW.

Please note, staff are not aware of the data sources for the Questions on Notice. On review, staff understand the SMA brand website may be the source of some data used for the below questions. The SMA website displays data from solar systems across Australia with SMA components. Some of Council’s existing solar PV systems use SMA brand inverters with an attached SMA solar monitoring device (mostly former Leichhardt sites). Not all Inner West Council solar PV systems use the SMA brand. Further, the SMA website does not reflect changes to Council’s monitoring systems which now enable monitoring of solar systems regardless of inverter brand. Council staff will ask SMA to remove sites that no longer have current data from the SMA website.

Question

1. Council currently provides solar output data for 62% (249.3 kwh) of its solar capacity but appears to have no data for 38% (151.2 kwh) of capacity. Would it be possible to provide solar output data for those locations where there is no data on the website (for any years applicable)?

Answer

Electronic monitoring was upgraded in FY19/2020 with most systems now monitored using Wattwatchers units. Some systems are too small to warrant the cost of Wattwatchers monitoring, and in these cases inverter data is read manually. Some solar PV systems listed above were installed in FY19/2020 and therefore do not have historical data.

The monitoring data in Question 1 may be based on the SMA website which, as mentioned above, does not cover all of Council’s systems.

Data can be provided to Councillors on request at the conclusion of FY20/2021 when 1 year of Wattwatchers data is available.

Question

2. What caused the significant falls in output in 2019 for the installations below?

Answer

The source of the data presented in Question 2 appears to be the SMA website, and is incomplete data.

An update to Council’s IT system in 2019 meant that a number of SMA inverters no longer communicated with the SMA website. In most cases above, the fall in generation shows the comms systems going offline, rather than an actual drop in system generation. The change to the IT system was one of the reasons for the upgrade to Wattwatchers monitoring.

The Leichhardt Administration Building system is older and was found to have some faults during a condition assessment and has been taken offline due to safety issues associated with older panels. The system has been rendered safe and upgrades are being assessed for feasibility. The other systems tabulated above are performing normally based on Council’s own monitoring.

Question

3. What are the reasons for the differences in average output per unit capacity across installations? Note: the data below relate to those solar installations which have 3 full years of data to 2019.

Answer

The source of the information in Question 3 appears to be the SMA website (not Council’s). As noted previously, the SMA website is not a complete data set for Council’s solar arrays.

The actual system size for Jimmy Little Community Centre is 2.7kW, resulting in an average output per unit capacity of 921 (not 92).

Differences in average output per unit capacity across installations are normal and expected. Solar output varies at different locations due to factors such as:

· Differing roof configurations, especially the aspect on different buildings and the direction of solar panels

· Shading of panels by nearby buildings and trees at various times of the day

· Different installation dates as solar panels have improved in efficiency

· Variations in weather at different times and locations

· Gradual reduction in output as the system ages

Question

4. The data show that some larger solar facilities do not produce as much output as smaller facilities. What are the reasons for this?

Answer

As noted previously, the SMA website does not have complete data source for all of Council’s solar arrays.

The table above shows fairly consistent rankings for capacity versus output, within the usual range expected for local shading, roof orientation etc.

The exception is the Jimmy Little Community Centre. This is due to a typographic error in the table above. The capacity listed is 27kW, whereas the correct capacity is 2.7kW as per Council’s website. This would give the Jimmy Little array a capacity ranking of 13 in the list above.

Question

5. The chart shows that output per unit capacity from Council’s solar installations fell by 5.5% in 2019. Could Council investigate this and provide reasons?

Answer

The source of the information in Question 5 appears to be the SMA website (not Council). The 2019 data is particularly inaccurate as most of Council’s SMA inverters stopped communicating with the SMA website partway through the year due to the change in Council’s IT systems and have since been replaced with Wattwatchers monitoring.

The solar PV systems themselves are still generating and performing as expected.

Council’s preliminary data for FY2020/21 indicates that most systems have improved performance, likely due to the cleaning and maintenance undertaken in 2019.

Question

6. Total output from Council’s solar installations increased by 3.5% in 2019 and 24.4% in 2018. It appears that Council’s growth in solar output from its own assets is subdued?

Answer

In FY 2015/16, Inner West Council had a total installed solar capacity of 273.6kW. By end 2020 the total installed capacity will be 615kW.

The source of the information in Question 6 appears to be the SMA website (not Council). As noted previously, this is not an accurate or complete data source for all of Council’s solar arrays. The 2019 data is particularly inaccurate as most of Council’s SMA inverters stopped communicating with the SMA website partway through the year due to the change in Council’s IT systems.

Question

7. What other solar installations (and capacity) are proposed for IWC assets in the next year or two?

Answer

Proposed solar projects were presented in the Pathway to a Carbon Neutral Council which was endorsed by Council in December 2018. Decisions on whether to install solar at some sites are pending the outcomes of the Long-term Accommodation Strategy.

Council has completed the following solar projects:

· Fanny Durack Aquatic Centre - 22kW new install

· Seaview Street Hall – 7kW new install

· Mervyn Fletcher Hall – 5kW new install

· May Murray Early Learning Centre – 5kW new install

· Tillman Park Early Learning Centre - 8.58kW install (replaced 20-year-old 4.8kW system)

· Removal of 20-year-old Leichhardt Service Centre system to address electrical safety risk

The major solar project in 2020/21 is Ashfield Aquatic Centre solar system. Capital works are undertaking building assessments for remaining shortlisted projects and incorporating projects into the 3-year capital works program.

Question

8. Could Council produce a summary (annual) table along the lines of that in 4. above for all installations and place this on the website? The data should go back 5 or 6 years.

Answer

Data can be provided to Councillors on request at the conclusion of FY20/2021 when 1 year of Wattwatchers data is available.

Note that many systems were installed recently and will not have 5 or 6 years of historical data.

The Council website will continue to be updated with promotional information about Council’s solar initiatives.
