HAVE YOUR SAY
Community input needed on draft budget
Wagga Wagga
City Council is
calling on all of
the community
to help create
a vision for the
city’s future by
having their
say on the draft
budget.
The Delivery Program and
Operational Plan (DPOP)
2015-16 and Long Term
Financial Plan (LTFP) 20152025 are on public exhibition
now until 26 May.
Included is a total operating
expenditure budget of $108
million for 2015/16, along with
capital renewals of $15M and
new capital expenditure of
$36M.
The budgets for both
2015/16 and 2016/17 years
are balanced, with a surplus
position forecast for 2017/18
and 2018/19.
This position has been
achieved with significant
changes to both the
operational and capital
budgets including savings
over a 10-year period of
$21.9M in salaries, $5.6M
in utility costs and $2.6M in
operational budgets.
The savings have
helped Council overcome
unfavourable adjustments
to revenue sources,
including a three-year
freeze on the indexation of
the Federal Government’s
Financial Assistance Grant
($9.4M) and predicted
reduction of return on
investment of $1.4M over the
10-year period.
Significant changes
have been made to both
operational and capital
budgets since the review of
the 2014/24 LTFP.
The DPOP outlines
Council’s commitment over
the term of the current
elected Council, identifying
specific projects and budgets
over a four-year period as
well as identifying specific
operations, services and
projects to be delivered
during the 2015/2016
financial year.
“In preparing the DPOP,
Council has made decisions
in adjusting its operations
and ensuring it is progressing
towards meeting the
benchmarks required under
the State Government’s
‘Fit For the Future’ reform
package,” Director Corporate
Services Craig Richardson
said.
“At the time of the release
of the benchmarks, Wagga
Wagga met three of the
seven benchmarks set by the
State Government, but after
further review we now meet
four benchmarks.
“Council is in the process
of developing an action plan
to identify how it will work
towards meeting all of the
benchmarks.”
Both the draft DPOP and
LTFP are available at
wagga.nsw.gov.au or from
Council’s Customer Service
Centre. Submissions close on
Tuesday 26 May.
You are invited to

Traxion enters voluntary administration
Wagga Wagga City Council was
informed late on Wednesday that
Traxion has entered voluntary
administration.
Traxion was selected as Council’s
preferred proponent to develop the
Riverina Intermodal Freight and
Logistics (RiFL) open access hub in
June 2014.
While under administration, Traxion
continues to trade.
Council spoke with Traxion and its
administrator, HLB Mann Judd, and
were advised the company’s operating
businesses have been impacted by
the slowdown in the mining sector
amongst other factors.
Council’s Director Commercial and
Economic Development Dr Peter
Adams said the fundamentals of
expanding Bomen Business Park
and the RiFL freight hub are still
strong.
“Staff are working with Traxion and
the administrator in relation to the
freight hub project,” Dr Adams said.
“Council’s investment so far has been
in creating broader economic growth
opportunities through infrastructure
design, land options and acquisitions,
commercial analysis and securing
government funding.
“Council has no financial exposure to
the company.
“The key project elements remain
the same – the project is strong,
businesses are keen to see it
delivered, the Federal Government is
keen to see it delivered and it’s a key
component for inland rail.
“The project is at a stage where it is
well advanced, with interest expressed
by the local, national and international
business community.
“Council will now work its way
through this challenge as we continue
to create economic growth and value
for the region.”

TREE OF HEAVEN
AILANTHUS ALTISSIMA
WHAT IS IT? Class 4
Noxious Weed-Locally
Controlled Weed.
WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?
It is a deciduous tree or
shrub that can grow up
to 20m in height with an
extensive suckering root
system. Pinnate leaves,
20-80cm long, that have
nine to 21 pointed leaflets
with glandular lobes
near their base, which
produce an unpleasant
smell when crushed
rural buildings and
stockyards from the
mid 1800s, it has spread
widely since then as it
is extremely tolerant of
adverse conditions
HOW IS IT SPREAD?
Spreads by seed, root
suckers, and by root or
stem fragments being
moved to other areas.
Seeds have a propellerlike wing up to 5cm
long, straw-coloured or
reddish at maturity.
WHERE IS IT FOUND?
WHAT CAN I DO? Cut
and paint, stem inject,
basal bark or chemical
treatment of smaller
plants. Plants will sucker
from the roots when cut
down or poisoned, so
repeated treatments are
necessary.

Charles Sturt University’s
adjunct Senior Lecturer in English
David Gilbey marked the unveiling
of a new public artwork at Wagga
Wagga Regional Airport with a
special poem.
The artwork, Flight, was
launched on Monday 27 April, with
the artists Susan Milne and Greg
Stonehouse and Wagga Wagga
Writers Writers representatives,
including Mr Gilbey, in attendance.
Dragonfly,
By David Gilbey
This morning is a poem,
‘Autumn, Wagga Wagga’: season
of mist and mellow fruitfulness?...
a living sonnet, a bold ballad, an
ode full of wry humour –
a free-verse praise song, a
Riverina anthem.
It’s a witty Shakespearean
comedy
bringing councillors, artists,
community members out from
their daily, complex lives
to this airport, these wings, for this
public launching.
Its lines are shaped by the
flooding Murrumbidgee,
the red and smoky waves of
bushfire,
deadlines, budgets, meetings…
and politics, Green, Red and
Blue;
consciousness of the
environment, wanting justice and
equity
within State and Federal
constraints.
We are the poem’s phrases:
citizens, writers, designers,
administrators –
we enact its syllables against a
backdrop
of Wagga’s public and commercial
history.
It has its gods and icons.
They dance across the airport
empyrean to the CBD:
pirouetting through Ashmont,
Turvey Park, Gumly Gumly;
holding hands with Kapooka, the
University, Equex...
Its core is this shining work,
blue, silver, solid, fluid,
part river, part bird, gliding across
the land
about to take off to the skies.
Our lives frame and echo
this generous, optimistic
celebration.
We are the makers,
we expand the horizons,
we are this country.
Meet Red
This week’s pet of the week is
a female cattle dog about two
years old named Red.
Red is friendly and would suit
a family with a big backyard as
she has plenty of energy.
You can adopt Red from
the Glenfield Road Animal
Shelter for $ 314.45, which
includes microchipping, lifetime
registration, vaccination,
desexing, worming and a heart
worm test.
If you would like to meet Red
or any of the other animals at
the shelter please visit between
1pm and 4.15pm Monday to
Saturday.
The friendly Animal
Management Rangers can be
contacted on 6971 4651.
Tip of the week: Wagga
Wagga City Council has six offleash areas for the community’s
dog owners to have suitable
exercise and play facilities for
their animals.
By following the rules and
guidelines, the use of the off
leash areas can be an enjoyable
time for both owners and dogs.
For further information on
where the off leash areas are
please contact Council during
office hours on 1300 292 442 or
visit wagga.nsw.gov.au.
Got a great idea for an event in Wagga?
Have you got a big idea that will
bring visitors to Wagga Wagga?
Applications for Council’s
Annual Grants Program 201516 are open until the end of the
month, with the Events category
offering funding from $500 to
$2000 to help new ideas get
off the ground or grow existing
events.
Preference is given to
applications that will market
the city outside of the local
government area, such as
bringing an event to Wagga.
The category also aims to help
fund events that attract visitors to
the city and increase the length of
their stays.
Strong applications will take
advantage of Council resources,
such as the Visitor Information
Centre’s accommodation booking
services, and have funding from
additional sources.
The Wagga Wagga Dragon
Boat Challenge has received
funding through the program for
the past two years.
The challenge, which is a
partnership between Dragon Boat
NSW and the Bidgee Dragons,
is open to anyone interested in
trying dragon boating. It also
encourages visitors to come and
see the action at Lake Albert and
spend time in Wagga.
For more information or for a
copy of the grant guidelines, visit
wagga.nsw.gov.au/grants, email
[email protected] or
contact 1300 292 442.
SOIL EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL
Under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act it is illegal to pollute, or cause
or permit the pollution of waters.
Under the Act, ‘water pollution’ includes introducing litter, wash water, soil, debris,
detergent, paint, cement slurry, building materials etc into waters or placing such
material where it is likely to be washed or blown into waters, or the stormwater system
or percolate into groundwater.
It is the builders’ and developers’ responsibility to keep building sites clean and stop
erosion and building materials from entering stormwater drains.
Wagga Wagga City Council & NSW EPA are piloting a Household
Asbestos Disposal Scheme offering free disposal of bonded asbestos
from across the Local Government Area.
You only have until the end of June to make the most of this scheme!
