Executive Summary
The St Marys Town Centre Corporation has submitted their Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements for 2019-2020. This report provides an overview and commentary on the documentation submitted.
Attached to this report is the Annual Report (Attachment 1) and Audited Financial Statement for 2019-2020 (Attachment 2) and the agreed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for 2020-2023 (Attachment 3).
This report recommends that Council receive the information on the Annual Report and Audited Financial Statement for 2019-2020 and endorse the proposed Key Performance Indicators for 2020-2023.
Background
Penrith City Council works with the St Marys Town Centre Corporation and the Penrith CBD Corporation to jointly manage the centres to support their ongoing vitality and viability. Council collects rates from non-residential properties in the city centres and returns these to the Corporations. In 2020-2021, $345,832.00 (exc GST) will be paid to the St Marys Town Centre to undertake the proposed activities as outlined in their KPIs 2020-2021.
Council and the Corporations have a Service Level Agreement that requires the Corporations to provide an annual report to Council.
On the 22 June 2020 at the Ordinary Council Meeting, through the Triennial Impact Review of the City Centre Corporations, Council endorsed a Key Performance Indicator Framework. The KPIs were developed in consultation with the Corporations and are consistent with the needs of the St Marys Town Centre Corporation to continue to build their profile with the local businesses and explore opportunities to promote the St Marys Town Centre to local residents, visitors and potential new business operators and property investors.
The KPIs involve four objectives to support their management and improve reportable outcomes. The Corporation’s four objectives are:
1. Governance
2. Marketing
3. Strategy
4. Facilitation
Over the past three years, the St Marys Town Centre Corporation has been gearing its activity towards the growth of residential development in the town centre with the expected increase in population, and the opportunities that arise for local businesses as a result of this growth. The Corporation has been working with businesses coming into the town centre and supporting existing businesses to leverage off the new growth and change. The Corporation is also flagging their role in working with property owners to increase their knowledge about infrastructure improvements and to encourage them to look at their own property portfolios to ensure that they are keeping pace.
Annual Report and Audited Financial Statement 2019-2020
The Corporation has prepared an annual report on their activities during the 2019-2020 financial year. In 2019-2020, $337,068 (exc GST) was paid to the Corporation.
The report provides an overview of the initiatives and events held during the year such as the Tree Lighting Event, monthly newsletters through to more day to day activities supporting façade and signage upgrades and building networks.
Notable, through the use of the surplus funds, the Corporation has delivered a number of street art murals across the centre to compliment the streetscape upgrade works on Queen Street and enhance the pedestrian experience in the centre.
The Annual Report and Audited Financial Statement 2019-2020 is attached to this report for Council’s consideration (Attachment 1 and 2).
Key Performance Indicators 2020-2023
As part of the Triennial Impact Review of the City Centre Corporations undertaken in 2019-2020, a series of KPIs were developed in consultation with the Corporations. The KPIs were developed to help quantify the outputs and outcomes of the Corporations activities and sought stronger alignment to Council’s strategic vision for the St Marys Town Centre.
The KPIs provide an opportunity for the Board to identify priority and ongoing projects for the year ahead. The St Marys Town Centre Corporation have committed to a COVID-19 recovery program during the next 12 months that focuses on positive opportunities for businesses and the community in the town centre. The Chairperson of the Board, Martin Coote also sits on Council’s COVID Economic Recovery Taskforce.
The Corporation want to continue actively working with businesses that may be considering St Marys Town Centre. The presentation from the Corporation that accompanies this report will go into further detail on proposed activity for 2020-2021. The overview of the KPIs is attached to this report for Council’s consideration (Attachment 3).
Surplus Funds Expenditure 2019-2020
The audited financial statements indicate that the surplus funds remained at a similar amount to that reported in 2018-2019. Whilst some funds were accumulated last financial year following a number of major events and initiatives being cancelled due to weather and to COVID-19, surplus funds were utilised to deliver a number of initiatives. The below table outlines what has been delivered and what has been committed to.

Financial Services Manager’s Comment

Further to this cash and cash equivalent reserves have increased by $4,496 to $624,976 in 2019-20 from $620,480 in 2018-19 though consideration needs to be given to the purpose of the cash reserves and what objectives need to be achieved with these funds. As reported to Council on the 22 June 2020, $270,000 of the surplus cash funds carried by the St Marys Town Centre Corporation are to be returned to Council for expenditure to advance and revitalise the St Marys Town Centre.

Authorised by: Jeni Pollard, City Activation, Community and Place Manager
Kylie Powell, Director - City Futures

Executive Summary
Kingswood is one of Penrith’s most eclectic suburbs, undergoing rapid change as it evolves into a vibrant place with a strong urban character and a mix of new apartments, small businesses and a major health and education precinct. Character and identity make a place what it is and having an understanding of what makes Kingswood unique will ensure the suburb grows authentically as one of Penrith’s most exciting destinations and remains loved by people who live and work there.
At the Councillor Briefing on 30 March 2020, Council received information of the development of a Place Plan for Kingswood. The purpose of this ten-year Place Plan is to bring everyone together in continuously shaping the future of Kingswood. Think Bold Kingswood sets a clear vision and bold direction for working together to create safe and welcoming places and a neighbourhood that supports the wellbeing of a diverse community and a thriving local business sector.
This report recommends that the information contained in the Think Bold Kingswood Place Plan (Attachment 1) be received.
Background
Kingswood is currently undergoing extensive redevelopment, including high-density mixed-use developments, and the expansion of the Nepean Hospital and the surrounding Health and Education Precinct. Kingswood’s place as a key transport hub and connection point for people working or studying in the health and education precinct means the daily population is highly transient. In the most recent study undertaken in 2016, economic researchers indicated that the Western Sydney University Kingswood and Werrington campuses had a student population of 8,700, in addition to 7,000 students attending the local Western Sydney Institute of TAFE, and an estimated 6,000 jobs provided by the hospitals and health precinct (Deloitte Access Economics, 2016).
The delivery of a Place Plan for Kingswood promotes a community led approach to goal setting, renewal and programming. It will offer a collection of activations and interventions in Kingswood to encourage an iterative and adaptive program of change.
The intent of the plan is to inspire and lay a way forward that comprehensively addresses aspects of the place. The Place Plan will be used as a guiding document to implement and evaluate the actions and form a part of the Council’s suite of strategic documents, based on the needs and aspirations of the local community and stakeholders in Kingswood.
JOC Consulting were selected through a competitive quotation process. JOC Consulting is a management consultant that specialises in urban planning, place making and community engagement.
The objectives of the Place Plan are to:
· Document the communities wants and aspirations of the place.
· Guide the direction of funding and resources in the place.
· Guide the activation and service delivery in the place.
· Provide a bottom-up approach to planning for a place.
· Further develop an internal culture supporting placemaking, to ensure a place-led approach.
· Collaborate with potential partners in refining, planning and committing resources to actions.
· Provision for the measurement of impact.
Community Engagement
Think Bold Kingswood builds on previous engagement by Council as well as recent extensive insights and bold ideas from approximately 180 community members and visitors, 16 local traders, The Quarter, and government stakeholders. In summary, the engagement found that:
· Kingswood is much loved by many and is seen as having great potential into the future by most.
· Kingswood is in need of tender loving care.
· Kingswood’s challenge is that activity centres are spread out and unconnected.
· Creating activated and welcoming places is seen as the key to improving comfort and safety.
Place Plan Vision and Outcomes
The insights from the community engagement provide the foundation for the Place Plan, and sets a clear vision for the future:
With a unique blend of community spirit, village feel, and economic opportunity, Kingswood is a safe and welcoming place for people of all backgrounds and cultures to live, work, study, or visit.
The Place Plan focuses on five key outcomes that will improve Kingswood and have the potential to make the biggest difference for the whole community.
The outcomes are:
· Reducing the heat - Through tree planting, painting of streets and environmentally friendly building materials.
· Supporting the core - By improving the streets around shops on both the north and south side of the train station.
· Connecting the dots - To improve safety through access and wayfinding around places, better walking and cycling.
· Looking to the future - Through upskilling and job pathways for locals and providing more opportunities for workers.
· Welcoming the night - Through diversity in uses, activities and better lighting that improves safety for all.
Action Plan
The Action Plan sets out a practical approach to working with the local community and supporting people to be actively involved in shaping the future of Kingswood. A building block approach to change has been identified in order to get the basics right for the community and build lasting change by getting the whole community excited and involved.
There are five key elements that form the foundation for specific actions in the plan. These elements are as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
THINK |
ACT |
CREATE |
EXPLORE |
EMPOWER |
Planning for the future and long term |
Local champions working towards a better future |
Places for people and the community |
Promoting the hidden, unexpected and new |
Supporting each other and partnering to maximise impact |
Actions in the implementation plan (Attachment 2) have been developed in consultation with internal and external stakeholders. The implementation plan identifies quick win actions (1-2 years), medium (5 years) and long term (10 years). Some of the plan highlights include:
· Delivery of the Live, Work, Play Grid
· DIY Vivid
· Community garden in Wainwright Park
· Creative lighting
· Public art loop
· Small scale activations
· Internship program for local students
The work done in the development of the Thing Bold plan has already informed a number of submissions and grants applications with evidence of community consultation and need.
Financial Implications
Actions associated within the Kingswood Place Plan will be delivered within the existing Operational and Delivery Program for the subsequent 10 years the Place Plan is to be delivered. Should the need arise for any new programs or initiatives, the existing processes for requesting new funds will apply.
Staff will continue to work collaboratively to identify potential funding opportunities to support the implementation of projects, where available.
Risk Implications
There are no significant risks for Council associated with this report. All project risks will be managed by Council staff through risk management procedures.
Conclusion
The Think Bold Kingswood Place Plan supports Council in further coordinating a range of responses including, planning, projects and programming to respond to the current and upcoming challenges for Kingswood. The Kingswood Place Plan has collated and interpreted the community's aspirations into a strategic document with clear outcomes and actions to achieve the strategic vision for Kingswood.

1. The information contained in the report on Think Bold Kingswood Place Plan be received
2. Council endorse the Think Bold Kingswood Place Plan
