Background DC Yankalilla participates in offering ratepayers an ‘exceptional circumstances (EC)’ bin collection service at no charge. There are three circumstances in which a ratepayer may obtain an extra bin: 1) As a ‘large family’; 2) As a ‘household that produces nappies’ and 3) As a ‘household with medical waste’. These levels of free landfill provision are a cost to Council, as the Fleureiu Regional Waste Authority (FRWA) charges Council (or in other words, the rest of the ratepayers) for providing those additional services. Kerbside Waste Collection Policy 5.4.1. Exceptional Circumstances - Additional Bins for Fortnightly Collection Service Under exceptional circumstances large families, households that produce nappies and households with special medical needs that meet certain criteria will be exempted from payment for one or more additional general waste collection services and 140L mobile garbage bin. A ‘large family’ is defined as a permanent residential dwelling in which 5 or more persons live for at least 5 nights per week on average. This definition excludes holiday homes which may contain large numbers of residents for a small portion of the year. Entitlement: A large family will be entitled to one (1) additional 140l general waste bin exempted from payment. ‘Households that produce nappies’ are residential households in which one or more permanent residents wear nappies. This includes babies and young children as well as persons of any age with continence issues. This definition does not include households where children in nappies visit, family day care facilities or childcare centres (which, as commercial operations, should make their own arrangements for waste collection). Entitlement: Households with 1-2 residents using nappies will be entitled to one (1) additional 140l general waste bin exempted from payment. ‘Households with special medical needs’ are permanent private households that produce medical waste. These households will be self-identified through a questionnaire on the Application Form. This definition does not include premises generating medical waste from a commercial operation such as home massage clinic, or chiropractor clinics). Entitlement: Households with special medical needs will be entitled to one (1) additional 140l general waste bin exempted from payment. Question Can the CEO please provide the total number of recipients in 2025/26 who received this free landfill provision, with the total broken down into each of the three categories as summarised above and outlined in the policy? Response CATERGORIES — QUANTITY Large Families — 78 Nappies — 100 Medical — 21 TOTAL — 199
Background The July 2025 Ordinary Council Agenda papers report on this agreement proposal described the arrangement as having enhanced reporting, a one-year opt-out and a “strong return on investment.” These questions are important in relation to value for ratepayers' expenditure. Question 1 For the first year of the agreement from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026, Fleurieu Peninsula fully, partly or not complete each of the deliverables contained in Item 4 of the agreement. Please provide the available evidence for each deliverable that was listed: a. Details of the minimum one tourism-industry event delivered; b. The number of tourism businesses or events advocated for to the South Australian Tourism Commission or relevant grant programs, against the minimum requirement of ten; c. The initiative actively supported within the District Council Yankalilla are, including; i. The agreed scope of work; ii. The assistance provided by Fleurieu Peninsula Tourism; iii. The cost or resources applied; and iv. The results achieved; d. The dates and attendance records for the quarterly collaborative information and planning sessions; e. Whether a District Council of Yankalilla representative was invited to: i. participate as an observer at the Fleurieu Peninsula Tourism Board meetings; and ii. participate in its annual strategic planning day; f. the date and details of the required annual presentation to the District Council of Yankalilla; and g. the visitor research, market analysis or tourism data supplied to Council. Where a deliverable was only partly completed or was not completed, can Administration explain the reason and any action with Fleurieu Peninsula Tourism. In particular, what measurable evidence demonstrates that Council’s contribution of $22,608.96 excluding GST produced value for Yankalilla ratepayers, rather than only general benefits for the wider Fleurieu Peninsula? Where no evidence of a specific local benefit is available, can this be clearly stated? Question 2 — Should Council keep paying? a. Has the South Australian Tourism Commission’s new regional tourism structure progressed sufficiently for Council to use the transition or exit provisions contained in the Fleurieu Peninsula Tourism agreement? b. If so, did Administration consider or exercise those provisions before the second year of the agreement commenced? c. If the agreement continues, what contractual options remain available to Council to terminate the agreement, withhold or avoid further payment, or transition to the new tourism structure; and does Administration consider that the evidence of first-year benefits justifies a second-year ratepayer contribution increased by CPI? Response Question 1 For the first year of the agreement (1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026), Fleurieu Peninsula Tourism (FPT) has progressed delivery of the requirements outlined in Item 4 of the agreement. This agreement creates a partnership between the District Council of Yankalilla, City of Onkaparinga, City of Victor Harbor and Alexandrina Council at a regional level. Deliverables are designed to be delivered for the whole Fleurieu Peninsula, not for any specific council area, and to help achieve outcomes for the Peninsula as a whole. (a) Details of the minimum one tourism industry event delivered FPT facilitated a range of industry engagement and capability activities across the Fleurieu Peninsula, including workshops, webinars and networking opportunities open to tourism operators across the region as a whole. The agreement is not structured to require this in a certain Council area. More than eight industry capability and engagement activities were delivered during the reporting period, which exceeded the intent of the agreement in this area. (b) Number of tourism businesses or events advocated for (minimum requirement of ten) Advocacy activities were undertaken across the Fleurieu Peninsula in support of tourism businesses and regional initiatives, including engagement with the South Australian Tourism Commission and other funding and industry stakeholders. Based on information and feedback from FPT, this activity exceeded the minimum requirement of advocating for ten businesses or events, noting that advocacy is delivered across the region rather than tracked solely at an individual council level. Notable within our District was the advocacy and promotion for the Normanville NYE Pageant in our local area. (c) Initiative actively supported within the District Council of Yankalilla area A relevant example of locally focused activity during the reporting period was the coordinated response to the Deep Creek fire event and the support in recovery. FPT supported recovery through coordinated marketing, stakeholder engagement and promotion, working with partners to encourage visitation and community confidence. Activities included recovery-focused promotional content through Meta advertising and social media channels; promotion of local tourism operators and experiences through digital marketing; media and storytelling opportunities, including Fleurieu Living Magazine Spring 2026, SATC-supported posts including Adelady, South Aussie with Cosi; collaboration with tourism stakeholders, government partners, and local operators; refreshing the Deep Creek destination page; and hosting photographer Janey Fowler in Deep Creek to generate new destination content assets. FPT contributed staff time, destination marketing resources, stakeholder coordination, content development, campaign planning, and promotional support. Outcomes included increased promotion and visibility of Deep Creek and surrounding tourism experiences, positive media opportunities, strengthened collaboration, continued visitor engagement and support for local businesses, and improved visitor planning resources. (d) Dates and attendance records for quarterly collaborative sessions Quarterly collaborative information and planning sessions were held during the reporting period including several additional sessions on the Fleurieu Peninsula Destination Management Plan. District Council of Yankalilla officers attended these sessions, which supported regional coordination and information sharing between councils and FPT. (e) Participation in Fleurieu Peninsula Tourism governance activities District Council of Yankalilla representatives were invited to participate as observers at Board meetings and have taken up these opportunities. Representatives were invited to participate in the strategic planning process and have been involved in this activity. (f) Annual presentation to Council An annual presentation by FPT is scheduled for the August 2026 Elected Member Information and Briefing session. (g) Visitor research, market analysis and tourism data supplied FPT continues to provide regional visitor data, campaign performance insights and tourism-related information to partner councils, including data on marketing activity, visitor trends and digital engagement. Value for money Administration considers the agreement has delivered its intent having contributed to delivering coordinated marketing, industry development, advocacy and stakeholder engagement activities for the Fleurieu Peninsula at a cost substantially less than Council undertaking these services and activities on its own. The structure of the agreement means that benefits are primarily realised at a regional level. These include increased destination visibility, collaborative marketing campaigns and engagement with state and regional partners; all of which still have positive local benefits. Where identifiable, localised benefits have also been observed within the District Council of Yankalilla, including targeted advocacy and promotional support following the Deep Creek fire event. It is acknowledged that direct attribution of outcomes at an individual council level is not always clear. Question 2 — Should Council keep paying? (a) At this stage, the South Australian Tourism Commission’s proposed Destination Management Zones process has not progressed, where transition arrangements can be clearly determined. Further discussion is anticipated at a Regional Tourism Manager meeting scheduled for August 2026. (b) Administration has considered the transition and exit provisions contained within the agreement; however, these are not proposed to be exercised given the current uncertainty surrounding the South Australian Tourism Commission’s regional tourism reform and lack of a confirmed alternative delivery model. (c) The contribution to FPT was assessed as being appropriate through a staff assessment matrix used in 2025 and this position remains valid for continued participation in the agreement. This reflects the role of regional collaboration in supporting growth in the visitor economy, the continuation of tourism outcomes delivered across the Fleurieu Peninsula and local tourism operators, and the absence of a clearly defined alternative structure arising from the current reform process.
Background Wirrina Cove Reservoir supplies the drinking water network to the Fleurieu Peninsula and provides irrigation to public spaces - the golf course, gardens and parks. In 2019, SA Water took responsibility for the reservoir from the local council. The reservoir pumps water into a nearby treatment plant before flowing to the community as a drinking water supply. It also irrigates main local tourist attractions, Wirrina Cove Holiday Park and New Terry Hotel/Golf Resort. The reservoir is fed from a catchment at its southern end. Capacity: 0.468 gigalitres. On 9 December 2025 SA Water announced a Water Infrastructure Upgrade – Normanville to Wirrina Cove. The work includes construction of a new trunk main from Normanville to Wirrina Cove, water storage tank and pump station. SA Water customers at Wirrina Cove will be connected to SA Water’s Myponga drinking water system after these changes. Note that Council retains ownership of the land, including the reservoir, where the Water Assets are located (SA Water own the assets). Question Can the administration please advise the Council as to the discussions it has had with SA Water on their (SA Water) future plans with regards to; the lease, and consideration of existing infrastructure which may/may not remain post lease expiration. Additionally, can administration provide an update as to when the township plans for Wirrina are scheduled to commence. Response SA Water Council Officers have had initial discussions with SA Water regarding SA Water extending the water main from Normanville to Wirrina. Construction works are scheduled to commence in Spring 2026 and will not be concluded until late 2027/early 2028. The timing of handover of the Reservoir is connected to the completion of those significant (but yet to commence) works but the extent of that project allows further discussions regarding the existing lease and any potential hand over of infrastructure to occur whilst that 12-18 month project is delivered. Township Plans With Township Plans now being delivered in-house, the team are currently working on a Plan with the Second Valley community which is set to conclude before the end of 2026. There is some impetus to then undertake Inman Valley followed by Wirrina. Each of these projects (working within resourcing constraints) are likely to span 8-10 months however the timing to commence Wirrina conversations should align with the latter stages of the Water Main extension project. The team are aiming (through the shared service arrangement with Alexandrina Council) to Draft the Proposal to Initiate the Wirrina Cove Code Amendment later this calendar year, with a report to Council in Q1 2027.
Questions were asked and answered.
C26153 Moved: Cr Wayne Gibbs Seconded: Cr Karin Hatch Background This Motion is raised following a referral from Fleurieu Environment Reference Group (FERG) regarding Mitchell Park. It was recommended that, based on environmental grounds, consideration be given to returning the grassed area to native shrubs and grasses to increase biodiversity. Mitchell Park is situated at the end of Gold Coast Drive in Carrickalinga. The area being considered is highlighted in red. Motion 1. That Council, in acknowledgement of the Recommendation from the Fleurieu Coast Environmental Reference Group (FERG), requests the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to provide a report to Council regarding status, utilisation, features and costs associated with Mitchell Park at the northern end of Gold Coast Drive in Carrickalinga. This report should be prepared using available information and existing reporting systems where practicable, and should include, but not be limited to: a description of Mitchell Park’s current use, purpose and role within Council’s open-space network; available information on current annual operating costs, including water, maintenance and other relevant service-level costs; available information on community use, community benefit, accessibility, scenic value and any income or booking activity associated with the reserve; the extent to which the current service level aligns with Council’s Strategic Management Plan, Annual Business Plan, environmental objectives, open-space planning and long-term financial sustainability considerations; available information on environmental opportunities, including native vegetation, habitat creation, biodiversity, water efficiency, climate resilience and the potential for sensitive landscape treatments that retain the reserve’s scenic and photographic value; broad cost, benefit and risk considerations associated with maintaining the current service level compared with alternative future service-levels, including any potential future savings, transition costs or asset-management implications; and the likely governance, policy, consultation and budget considerations that Council would need to consider before making any future decision about a material change to the reserve’s use, character, presentation or service level. CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
C26155 Moved: Cr Karin Hatch Seconded: Cr Davina Quirke Motion 1. That the CEO prepares a concise briefing report, using existing Council records wherever practicable, that explains Council expenditure by purpose reported as Economic Development in the Local Government Grant Commission annual financial year supplementary returns, and brings the report to a future Elected Member Information & Briefing Session for discussion, before the commencement of detailed 2027-28 budget deliberations. That the briefing report focusses on: a three-year expenditure table for 2022-23 to 2024-25 showing employee costs, grants/contributions, partnership payments, materials/contracts/memberships/other expenses, depreciation or overheads where applied, income or external funding, and net cost to Council; a plain-English explanation of the classification methodology for the function code Economic Development, including how ‘Other Economic Development’ is defined in Council financial reporting; broad categories of roles, functions or FTE allocated to Economic Development at an aggregate level, without identifying individual staff work allocation or directing staffing decisions; major programs, activities and partnerships funded from the category, including, but not limited to, Regional Development Australia Adelaide Hills, Fleurieu and Kangaroo Island and Fleurieu Peninsula Tourism, with Council payments and any reports or deliverables already received; any existing activity or benefit information already held by Council, such as businesses or organisations assisted, grants or resources facilitated, initiatives/events supported, visitor or tourism measures, and reported local benefits. Where information is not recorded, state that it is not currently recorded; and any material limitations in the data or classification method that Elected Members should understand before drawing conclusions from the figures and data. Background Council's 2022-23 through 2024-25 functional expenditure indicates approximately $4 million was classified as Economic Development. Across just 2023/24 and 2024/25 $1.8M was attributed employee costs, with the bulk in “Other Economic Development”. This request does not presume that Economic Development expenditure is unnecessary or unsuccessful. The narrower purpose is to obtain a clear, proportionate expenditure breakdown and classification explanation for briefing discussion, without entering into operational management. Governance purpose: To understand what is included in Economic Development expenditure, how the costs are classified, and what information is already available for future budget discussions. This is a briefing request, not an operational direction or formal service review. Limits on the request: The briefing report is not intended to require formal economic-impact modelling, a district-wide business survey, a new data-collection system, a formal service review, external consultants, or directions about staffing, work allocation or day-to-day operations, unless separately authorised by Council.
