WORK HEALTH AND SAFETY
We aim to provide and promote a healthy and safe work environment that minimises the risk of injury or illness arising from
work activities.
This data is provided from the Local Government Association Workers Compensation Scheme (the Scheme). This data is
used by the Scheme to calculate the percentage of our salaries and wages payable as workers compensation insurance
premium.
The statistics are updated on a monthly basis but the currency/accuracy of data is dependent upon the status of a claim and
the injured employee’s return to work. If an employee is away from work for an extended period of time, their claim
information is not provided until they have returned to work. If a claim is pending, it may be many months before wages are
claimed from the Scheme. This reporting approach is uniform across local government areas in South Australia and in no
way has any adverse effect on our Health & Safety or Injury Management responsibilities or outcomes.
LOST TIME INJURIES
The following table and chart reflect the
number of lost time injuries incurred
(one complete shift or more of lost time).
The target for 2018-2019 is to ensure
the number of lost time injuries is below
25.

ALDINGA STRUCTURE PLAN BY RENEWAL SA Date Complete Budget
31/12/19 30% Y Y
Renewal SA has commenced investigations to prepare a structure plan to inform potential rezoning of an approximately 94
hectare site at Aldinga. It is proposed to accommodate a range of residential and other uses, including the development of a
new birth to year 12 school.
Status Update
Council administration continues to work with Renewal SA and the Education Department and their consultant teams to
influence the structure plan and southern school outcomes. This work is broadly informed by the Aldinga Framework Plan
(AFP) which was approved by Council in February 2019, and the Aldinga Sports Park and Southern School Shared Facility
Planning Option, approved by Council in March 2019.
Council administration has undertaken an analysis of the two options which have informed the basis of council’s response
(submission) to Renewal SA. The Aldinga Deferred Urban Land Planning Scenario is based on information provided within
the Preliminary Structure Plan options, current planning provisions for Aldinga, and the residential yield target of up to 1000
dwellings that Renewal SA have used to develop the Structure Plan options. This target has been informed by the Holmes
Dyer Aldinga Structure Plan and Housing Analysis Report (16 Jan 2019).

To undertake an analysis of the current and historic zones, policy areas, precincts and overlays relevant to Clarendon to

Environs.
Status Update
We wrote to the Clarendon community on 14 February 2019 to provide an update on the project after finalising the Community
Feedback report based on the community survey in which 64 responses were received. The report also included the
outcomes of the technical planning session held with interested community members. The Community Feedback report was
adopted by the Strategic Directions Committee at its meeting on 5 February 2019.
Our next steps will be largely determined by the state government’s planning reforms currently implementing significant
changes to South Australia's planning system through the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016. Community
Feedback from the engagement process has helped distil community aspirations for the initial transition to the Planning and
Design Code (the Code). The new system will involve the introduction of the Code, which will consolidate all of South
Australian council’s 72 development plans into one set of state-wide planning rules. Throughout the planning reforms we are
working with our Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI) transition manager to discuss our options and
opportunities. However, until the draft Code is released for consultation we are unable to predetermine what zoning / planning
policy options will be available to apply. Nonetheless, we will continue to advocate on behalf of our community to implement
the recommended changes that have been identified through the community workshops and surveys. A third community
meeting will be scheduled upon release of the draft Code for community consultation, to assist council in preparing its
submission to the state-government. This is likely to occur in late-2019.

In consultation with asset planners, develop a forward 5 year capital works program reflective of priorities aligned to resource
allocation strategies. Ensure alignment of works spanning multiple categories and engage internal stakeholders at a program
level and well in advance of budgeting to ensure PCW bids are both accurate and achievable from a delivery perspective.
Objective: 2019/20 project scope PM2s completed by end of June 2018, minimum concept design by December 2018 for
budget allocations. 2020/21 scoping complete by June 2019. Five year PCW allocation completed by asset planners by March
2019.
Status Update
The infrastructure asset management Project & Capital Works (PCW) program for 2019-20 is 100% scoped and has been
allocated in PCW.
The allocated 2019-20 designs were scheduled to have a minimum concept design for all projects by December 2018, this
was achieved. The design program status for 2019-20 currently sits at 91% complete and on track for 100% at June 2019.
A substantial effort has been made to streamline the processes and ensure all aspects of the business are kept informed and
involved, which has resulted in efficient delivery of the program and high quality projects.

As part of the rezoning of an area of land in Hackham and Onkaparinga Hills in 2015, landowners that wish to develop are
required to enter into an infrastructure agreement with Council to contribute to the upgrade of roads, stormwater and lighting.
This project encompasses the infrastructure works that Council is required to construct under these agreements.
Status Update
Development activity continues to increase in the Hackham South East project area with four significant residential
developments now underway and a number of smaller land divisions also occurring. This development necessitates council
carrying out work under the Infrastructure Contribution Agreements. Where possible the design of the streetscape works are
being coordinated with the design of the adjacent private developments. A contract for the construction of Penneys Rise has
been let and works are now expected to commence in May 2019 after being delayed by the developer works not commencing.
Works on Sturt Lane will also be carried out in coordination with the works of the adjacent private developer, which are now
expected to commence next financial year. Design work is progressing on Gates and Hepenstal Roads following the approval
of a significant development fronting both of these roads. Drainage works along the northern section of Gates Roads (to
