Clr Rochelle Porteous - Mayor Leichhardt Council 2011/2 and 2014/5 |
Community Budget Meeting in Balmain called by Councillor Rochelle Porteous - Inner West Council
In a wood paneled room under the Gaze of Mayors dating back to the foundation of the Balmain Council in 1860, the community came to hear about the 2019/20 Inner West Council Budget.
Please take a look at the draft 2019/20 budget, fees and charges, the longer term financial outlook and strategic plans and provide feedback via the have your say Website or to your local councillors.
Also on exhibition are the draft Sporting grounds hire and Domestic waste charges.
There is also a proposal to introduce a Compliance and Enforcement Levy for development applications. This is to offset the cost of ensuring that Council officers are available to take effective action against unlawful activities and enforce legal compliance.

Key Performance Indicators
On May 14, the Inner West Council voted unanimously to declare a Climate Emergency and adopt KPIs in the CEOs performance agreement and for Council. The KPIs to also apply to measures on Renewable Energy we resolved to undertake in October 2017.
In declaring an emergency we committed
to do more than business-as-usual and reform-as-usual. To address the
emergency we need to take temporary protection and adaptation
measures while prevention and restorative measures are put in place
and achieve their full effect.
“A performance indicator or key performance indicator is a type
of performance measurement. KPIs evaluate the success of an
organization or of a particular activity in which it engages.” -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_indicatorBelow are extracts from the Council's key strategic documents 2019 to 2029 which Council also resolved to put on exhibition on the 14 May. It is clear our council is yet to establish KPIs in many areas. Two examples of Emissions KPIs
