OCTOBER - DECEMBER 2020
FROM THE CEO
SCOTT ASHBY
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
I am pleased to present this issue of The Quarter, the City of Onkaparinga’s key performance report for our
communities.
The Quarter summarises our performance and activities over the past three months and reports on our progress
towards achieving our communities’ goals as outlined in the Community Plan 2030.
It provides an extensive and thorough review of our projects, services and programs. It also details significant
events and other related matters that have occurred during the period.
The Quarter, together with our community satisfaction survey, annual report and annual business plan, all provide
detailed and easily accessible information on the operations, direction and performance of council.
I trust that you will find its content valuable and informative.

COVID-19 UPDATE
The impacts of COVID-19 are being felt by everyone in our community.
As an organisation we have responded to COVID-19 restrictions through the organisation’s Crisis Management
Team (CMT). The focus of CMT has been to ensure continuity of critical services and functions across council,
whilst ensuring a safe environment for staff and the community. As restrictions have eased, the organisation has
responded in returning services to community in accordance with government guidelines and restrictions.
During the initial stages of COVID-19, many of our services to community were impacted. Critical services continued
to be offered during this time with no interruption to service delivery. Government restrictions closed a number of
Council services and sites making them unavailable to the community. A large number of services forced to close
during this period such as libraries, youth centres, positive-ageing centres; adapted their delivery models to ensure
some level of service and contact was still provided to community. This was especially important for services
regularly working with isolated and vulnerable communities.
In this issue of The Quarter, statistics may vary for services that were impacted by closures, restricted services or in
some cases an increase in demand.

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 Development Act sets out different
assessment path types for development
applications, including Building Rules
consent only (Development Plan
consent not required), complying,
Residential Development Code
complying, merit and non-complying. In
these reported statistics, we’ve
combined Building Rules consent only
and complying together, and we’ve also
separated land division applications
(which are almost all merit) from
building/land use applications.

A structure plan is being prepared for Sellicks Beach for the Deferred Urban Zone, Primary Production Zone (outside of the
Character Preservation District), and the (existing) Residential Zone. A structure plan is not a rezoning exercise nor will it
deliver on the ground infrastructure, its purpose is to provide a strategic approach to guide growth in the area that is also
reflective of community values and aspirations. The Sellicks Beach Structure Plan will inform the location, form and
sequencing of development together with what infrastructure and services will be required to support the community and to
facilitate appropriate urban development.
Status Update
The Sellicks Beach Structure Plan project is progressing. The draft Structure Plan and the Community Engagement Plan were
endorsed by Council on 30 November 2020 for the purposes of community consultation. Community engagement with the
wider community and relevant stakeholders has now commenced. We are seeking to understand the communities' vision for
the future development of Sellicks Beach, their satisfaction levels and their views on what they consider are important
attributes of the area. We have sought to pique interest over the engagement period through various means such as
preparation of fact sheets, roadside banners, direct mail out, Your Say page with interactive mapping tool, static displays,
series of short videos, social media posts and the holding of three community information sessions which are scheduled to be
held in early February 2021. Council's Development Policy Team staff have also met with two representatives from each of the
four resident community groups in Sellicks Beach as part of this process to explore their concerns, opinions and the range of
issues and opportunities that they consider Sellicks Beach should look like in the future. This meeting particularly focused on
character, sustainability principles, land use and residential density, roads and transport. An additional resident community
group meeting has also been scheduled to be held in late January 2021 to continue our discussions in more detail. At the
conclusion of the engagement process, Council will be provided with a review of all feedback received, details of how the draft
Structure Plan has been amended and to seek adoption of the final Sellicks Beach Structure Plan.

Council maintains a strong commitment to reviewing and responding to proposed changes to the South Australian planning
system by government and other industry sectors. Doing so ensures we remain engaged in these deliberations and protect
the interests of our community but also ensures that we flag any significant implications to our council should the ideas be
implemented by government.
Status Update
The State Planning Commission has received substantial feedback from local government, the building industry and the
community on the State’s new planning system. In seeking to overcome concerns of and in response to industry, local council,
and community feedback, the State Government provided an additional six-week consultation period (from early November to
18 December) to allow more time to understand the updated Code, to prepare and become business ready before the new
code is implemented and to identify issues regarding the proposed changes. Council staff have continued to provide feedback
to the content and the spatial application of these changes. More recently, staff prepared a second submission to the State
Government (endorsed by Council at its meeting 8 December 2020) which provided a clear position of the administration on
the revised draft Planning and Design Code, new zone modules and new and amended technical overlays. This was to ensure
that the proposed planning policy is the best and most appropriate fit for future development of our council area. All formal
submissions have now be considered by the State Planning Commission (Commission) and it has since been announced by
the Minister, the Honourable Vickie Chapman MP that Phase Three of the Planning and Design Code will be implemented on
19 March 2021.
