(Report by Manager - Corporate Services, Mr W Park)
- The following letter dated 2nd March, 1995 has been received from Masao Sato, Department of Public Relations, Shiroishi City Council, concerning student exchanges in 1995.
- "Here in Shiroishi the hints of spring in the air we have begun to experience have been accompanied by the realisation that paces are picking up as we head toward the grand opening of the Shiroishi Castle on May 3rd of this year. I trust that all is well in Hurstville.
I have taken the opportunity to enclose this information booklet that has been prepared concerning the visit to Hurstville made by the ten Shiroishi students last year in August. Perhaps it will provide some information you may find useful.
Again this year we are looking forward to continuing the exchange program in the same manner as last year with a group of eight of our students accompanied by two chaperones to visit your fine city. We in Shiroishi are also looking forward to welcoming once again students from Hurstville and have begun preparations accordingly, largely with the help of the information extracted from the questionnaires that the people from Hurstville who visited Shiroishi most kindly completed and sent in.
Surely in the near future communications between our two offices will start to increase once again. May I ask once again for your kind co-operation and good favor."
The Hurstville Community Committee, on behalf of Council, has already commenced planning for the Student Exchange visits as an ongoing programme under the Sister City Accord.

(Report by Senior Administrative Officer, Mr L Mifsud)
- The following letter dated 9th March, 1995 has been received from the St George Life Education Centre requesting a donation from Council towards the Centre's operations within the community.
- "On behalf of the St George Life Education Centre Committee Members, I extend my thanks to you and your Council for your continuing support and co-operation in the storing and towing of the St George Life Education Mobile Van whilst operating in the Hurstville Municipality during 1994.
The Van will visit 45 Primary schools within the St George area and instruct over 13,500 students in positive Health and Drug Education programmes during 1995, our 5th year in operation. Our committee will continue this community service throughout 1995 using a combination of funds from State Government grants and our own various fund raising activities. Our committee members work as volunteers and work very hard to raise the money needed to keep the program operating in the Hurstville community. Your Council has been most generous in the past by way of a Community donation of $4,000.00, and I again seek your assistance in this matter towards this Community service.
I would be pleased to complete any forms or supply further information that will enable your Council to process our Community request.
As mentioned earlier, this is our 5th year in operation, and a 'Celebration' is planned for the weekend of June 1st and 2nd, 1995. I will supply further information when details are finalised."
The most recent donation provided to the Centre was in 1994 when Council at its meeting on 30th March, 1994 resolved as follows.
- "THAT a subsidy of $4,000 for 1994 be paid to the St George Life Education Centre under the provision of Section 356 of the Local Government Act 1993 and that this amount be voted from Working Funds Surplus.
FURTHER, THAT the Centre be advised that future annual subsidies will now be paid in the first quarter of each calendar year and should the Centre wish to apply for a subsidy, an appropriate request should be submitted at that time."
Accordingly the following recommendation is submitted for Council's consideration.

03.06 LOCAL GOVERNMENT & SHIRES ASSOCIATIONS OF NSW - REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE TOWARDS LEGAL COSTS - GRIFFITH CITY COUNCIL (L/00015)
(Report by Senior Administrative Officer, Mr L Mifsud)
- The following letter dated 9th March, 1995 has been received from the Local Government & Shires Associations of NSW on behalf of Griffith City Council requesting all councils to contribute towards the legal costs associated with an appeal relating to the resumption by Griffith Council of certain land within its area.
- "Griffith City Council has approached the Associations for assistance with legal costs relating to litigation in which it has recently been involved.
The action involved the resumption by the Council of certain land within its area. The intended resumption had been under consideration for some years, and the owners were aware of this. It was then decided that the land would not be resumed, and again the owners were notified. They commenced building works on the land. In 1980 it was found that resumption of the land was necessary, and the necessary steps were then taken. A dispute arose as to the amount of compensation to be paid, this finally being heard by the Land and Environment Court in 1987. The Council argued that compensation, including compensation for special value, should be assessed as at the date of resumption. Stein J held that, for compensation to be fair, the value of the land ought to be assessed on the basis of a date prior to the resumption. From that decision the Council appealed to the Court of Appeal, which upheld the Council's argument. A subsequent appeal by the owners to the High Court was withdrawn before being heard.
The case is of significance to Local Government generally because it clarifies the mechanisms and processes by which compensation, including compensation for special value, is assessed in this kind of matter. Prior to this case, the state of the law was not clear, there being a number of conflicting cases on the point. This conflict has now been resolved in favour of Councils and other resuming authorities.
The Executives of the two Associations have decided to seek support from all councils for the costs which Griffith City Council has incurred in prosecuting the appeal. Based on the standard formula, your Council's contribution has been calculated at $155.00. The Associations would appreciate Council's support in the matter."
In the past, Council has agreed to make contributions such as this and therefore the following recommendation is submitted for Council's consideration.
| HURSTVILLE CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION NO: 03.06 CORPORATE & COMMUNITY SERVICES |
03.06 Recommendation LOCAL GOVERNMENT & SHIRES ASSOCIATIONS OF NSW - REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE TOWARDS LEGAL COSTS - GRIFFITH CITY COUNCIL (L/00015)
(Report by Senior Administrative Officer, Mr L Mifsud)
RECOMMENDATION
- THAT a contribution of $155.00 be made under the provisions of Section 356 of the Local Government Act, 1993 towards the legal costs of Griffith City Council as indicated in the letter dated 9th March, 1995 from the Local Government & Shires Associations of NSW.

03.07 ST GEORGE LIFE EDUCATION CENTRE - REQUESTING WAIVING OF RENTAL FOR USE OF KANYANA AND WANDARRAH ROOMS AND CIVIC THEATRE (H/00006)
(Report by Senior Administrative Officer, Mr L Mifsud)
- The following letter has been received from the St George Life Education Centre regarding proposed activities to be held in June 1995 to mark the Centre's fifth birthday.
- "The St George Life Education's Centre will have its fifth birthday and we propose to mark the commencement of our operations in the St George Region with several activities. A special Dinner is to be held on Friday, 2nd June and Saturday, 3rd June. On Saturday, 3rd June the St George Life Education Centre would like to hold a Birthday party and art competition at the Hurstville City Council's Chambers in MacMahon Street, Hurstville, this party and function is to be preceded by a parade.
On behalf of the St George Life Education Centre, I would like to apply for permission to:
1. Hold a parade that will commence in front of the Council Chambers in MacMahon Street, travel down Forest Road, and turn left into Rose Street and turn into the Lane that runs parallel with Forest Road, then into Crofts Avenue and then finishes in front of the Council Chambers.
2. Book the reception Suites 1 & 2 in the Civic Centre and the Civic Theatre on a free usage basis.
I hope Council will give consideration to our requests as the St George Education Centre would like to take advantage of our fifth birthday to help raise the profile of the Life Education Programme in our Region. If I can be of any assistance in this matter please contact me on the above telephone number or at work on 319-0406 or by fax 319-0374."
With regard to the holding of a parade, this matter has been referred to the Manager - Traffic and Transport for consideration by the Traffic Committee.
With regard to the use of Council's facilities, the President of the Centre, Mr James Hulse, has requested that Council waive the rental for the use of the Kanyana and Wandarrah Rooms and Civic Theatre on Saturday, 3rd June, 1995 from 7.30am to 2.00pm. The Centre proposes to use Council's facilities for an art competition and a birthday party and invite school children, parents and sponsors.
The Council's policy in respect of matters such as this is reproduced, in part, hereunder.
"(a) For hire on Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Public Holidays by any organisation, the full hiring charges as fixed by Council from time to time be applied to such usage.
- (b) For hirings on days other than Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Public Holidays by charitable, non-profit making local organisations located within the City, and schools within the City of Hurstville and Municipalities of Kogarah and Rockdale, the amount charged be the actual cost to Council for wages and direct costs plus ten (10) per cent."
As indicated above, Council's policy provides for concessional use on days other than Friday, Saturday or Sunday and the current request from the St George Life Education Centre is in respect of Saturday, 3rd June, 1995.
Accordingly this request does not comply with Council's policy, however Council has in the past, agreed to requests from other organisations such as the Hurstville Light Opera Company and the Rotary Club of Riverwood, for use of Council's facilities on Fridays on the basis of a charge of Council's Costs + 10%.
Council's Entertainment Centre Officer has advised that the normal cost for this particular booking would be $190.00 and that Council's Costs + 10% would be approximately $128.00.
Also, Members will be aware that Council has made provision in the 1994/95 Adopted Program Budget for a subsidy of $4,000 to the Centre and an amount of $2,000 to the Centre for the towing of the St George Life Education Mobile Van. A request from the Centre for its annual subsidy of $4,000 from Council is listed for consideration as Item 3.04 on this agenda.
In view of the fact that Council has agreed to similar requests from other organisations in the past and that the art competition and birthday party are being organised to raise the profile of the Centre's Life Education Programme in the area, Council may wish to agree to a reduction in the rental on the basis of a charge of Council's Costs + 10%.
Accordingly the following recommendation is submitted for Council's consideration.

The Club has not paid any rental and has indicated that it will comply with Council's decision in respect of the request to waive the rental.
No other bookings had been taken for the use of the Civic Theatre on Friday, 24th March, 1995.

03.16 COUNCILLORS' SUITE - REMOVAL OF OLD PABX ROOM (O/03151)
(Report by Manager - Corporate Services, Mr W Park)
- Consideration has been given to removing the old PABX Room from within the Councillors' Suite.
In addition, it is considered that a moveable wall could be installed between the Councillors' Suite and the Council Chambers Foyer to join the two areas when the need arises and also to remove the columns within the Councillors' Suite.
Members would be aware that the Councillors' Suite was refurbished in conjunction with the extension of the Civic Centre in 1982. The wallpaper within the Councillors' Suite and curtains are in need of replacement.
Therefore prior to the replacement of wallpaper and curtains it was felt that the removal of the old PABX Room should be discussed with Members. To assist members in their deliberations, contact has been made with the original design consultant for the Civic Centre, Forbes & Harris and the following letter has been received.
- "Further to our recent site visit and telephone conversation we wish to confirm our proposed method of handling your project.
Phase 1 To prepare sketch documents and preliminary budget in consultation with a Structural Engineer for the different options.
Phase 2 Upon approval to prepare working drawings and interior design scheme for tender and evaluation of tender - lump sum fee to be agreed.
Phase 3 Construction stage services and contract administration - lump sum fee to be agreed.
We trust this proposal is acceptable to Council and we look forward to working with you once again."
The Manager - Special Projects has advised that Phase 2 would not be overly expensive and that Council staff could do the majority of the contract administration work involved in Phase 3.
Accordingly, in view of the above the following recommendation is submitted for Councils consideration.

03.17 SHOPFRONT THEATRE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE CO-OP LTD - USE OF MEMORIAL SQUARE (C/00105)
(Report by Senior Administrative Officer - Mr L Mifsud)
- The following letter dated 16th March, 1995 has been received from Shopfront Theatre for Young People Co-op Ltd. requesting permission to hold a 24 hour Actathon in the Memorial Square area on 28th and 29th April, 1995.
- "I am writing to request Council permission for Shopfront Theatre to hold a 24 hour Actathon at Hurstville Shopping Centre, specifically in the Memorial Square area. It is planned that the Actathon commence at 5pm on Friday, April 28th and end at 5pm on Saturday, April 29th.
The purpose of the Actathon is to raise funds for repair work on our leaking buildings. At this stage we have up to 40 young people involved in organising and performing in what will no doubt be a theatrical and colourful event.
If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me."
- "THAT the raised platform area adjacent to the Memorial Square, Hurstville Boulevard, Forest Road, Hurstville, be designated an approved site for the provision of artistic or cultural performances for the passing public and that the General Manager, Mr H E J Wallace, be given delegated authority to approve of any such requests subject to the following conditions:
(a) That use of the area be restricted to Monday to Sunday between the hours of 9.00am and 5.00pm with a finishing time of 9.00pm on Thursday evenings.
(b) That the frequency of use be restricted to twelve (12) performances by any one organisation per annum and each performance being not more than three hours' duration.
(c) That fund raising activities to offset expenses in providing the entertainment be permitted subject to such activity being restricted to the hours of the entertainment being provided.
(d) Chairs, equipment, etc., being placed solely on the raised platform area to minimise inconvenience to the public.
(e) No paper or litter of any description be allowed to remain on the ground at the conclusion of the entertainment.
(f) The use of PA systems be permitted subject to such use not being so objectionably loud as to disturb the passing public, other organisations conducting street stalls, and shop owners.
(g) Prior approval in writing for each entertainment being obtained from the General Manager.
(h) The letter of approval to be available on the day for inspection by authorised persons if requested.
(i) Approval for any performance may be revoked at any time.
(j) That no interference be occasioned to pedestrian traffic.
(k) That this policy not apply to festivities organised by Council or the Hurstville Community Council."
Accordingly the Artistic Director from Shopfront, Ms Marianne Bragge, was advised that the request did not comply with Council's policy and would need to be referred to Council for consideration.
Ms Bragge advised that up to forty (40) young people would be involved in the Actathon and that three (3) to four (4) adults from Shopfront and possibly parents would be present during the 24 hour period of the Actathon to provide security, especially during Friday evening and in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Also, Ms Bragge advised that Shopfront would prefer to hold the Actathon as requested in the above letter, however if Council decided to adhere to its policy and not approve the 24 hour Actathon, Shopfront would consider holding the Actathon in accordance with Council's policy.
She indicated that the Actathon could be held on consecutive Thursday afternoons and evenings on 4th and 11th May, 1995 or all day on consecutive Saturdays on 29th April and 6th May, 1995, or a combination of these two alternatives.
Notwithstanding that Shopfront's preferred option is a 24 hour Actathon and that there will be at least three (3) adults present during the Actathon, it is considered that the Actathon could present security problems, especially during the early hours of Saturday morning.
However, Council may wish to approve the request as a "one-off" or consider the other alternatives offered by Shopfront.
Accordingly this matter is referred to Council for consideration.

03.18 SALE OF OUT-OF-DATE MATERIAL
(Report by Manager - Library & Information Services, Mr L Urane)
- Council at its meeting on the 5th September, 1990 resolved that the City Librarian be authorised to expend the income derived from the sale of superseded library material for the purchase of genealogical material, educational material of a non-print nature, contemporary display stands, etc and other similar or appropriate material for which funds have not been included elsewhere in the Library estimates.
The change in the Local Government Accounting System and Council's resolutions does not allow these funds to be utilised for the purchase of assets. Currently there is approximately $3,500 in the vote which I wish to expend on the purchase of a PC and devote the remainder of the income to the purchase of books which will be approximately $1,500.

03.19 SUMMER SIZZLER PROGRAMME 1994/95
(Report by Senior Librarian - Children's and Young Adult's Services, Ms K Campion)
- This was the fourth year of Hurstville City Library's highly successful and popular summer reading programme. The first was held in the summer of `991-92 and became an immediate hit with children and parents alike.
The aim of the programme is to encourage children and teenagers continue to read for pleasure during the long summer holidays. To aid in that encouragement, local businesses are asked to donate items that can be given as prizes at the end of the holidays.
This season, 418 children and teenagers joined the programme and between them they read 12,585 books and magazines. There were 26 sponsors who provided the 40 prize lots given out at the presentation drawing, as well as the door prizes drawn after the magic show and the "goodie bags" each entrant received after reading their first six books. The sponsors were Angus & Robertson, Art Box, Ashton Scholastics, Australia Post, Australian Educational Supplies, Beverly Hills Cinemas, Booklore, Brash's, The Camera House, Civic Video, Commonwealth Bank, Future Kids, Granny May's Greater Union, Hobby World, Hurstville Disposal Store, IMB, McDonalds, McGann Travel Centre, Movie Supermarket, Pro Disa Motor Sports Shop, Sound Garden, Southern Scene, Sports Co., Reach the Beach and Wendy's.
The presentation and prize draw were held on Thursday, 165th February in the Marana Auditorium. The Mayor, Clr Bryan McDonald spoke to the audience of some 350 and Clr Beverley Giegerl kindly played "barrel girl".
The magic show, "Hocus Pocus" was tremendous fun with lots of audience participation and a line of patter that entertained the adults as well as the children. It made an entertaining conclusion to the Summer Sizzler programme.
Thanks to the children's staff, Anne, Joanne and Jackie for their help and support.

03.20 THE "HURSTVILLE STORY" - HISTORY OF HURSTVILLE
(Report by Manager - Library & Information Services, Mr L Urane)
- The current book "The Hurstville Story" is out of print. The original 10,000 copies were either sold or presented to people (mainly sold) and in the future it should be updated. The edition also had a number of inaccuracies and lacked detailed information particularly of Councillors. Mr Bernard Sargeant, formerly Chief Librarian of Sutherland and Marrickville has approached Council through the General Manager and myself with the following project which will be of intrinsic value to Council and its archival records, and will assist any person in the future who is researching the history of Hurstville.
Mr Sargeant submitted the following report the General Manager and discussed this matter with him.
- "This letter is to outline a proposal that I would like to make and discuss with you. It has arisen firstly out of the research that I have been doing in relation to the footnotes in the edited version of the Croot Tapes. Secondly the concept is linked to the history of Sutherland Shire Council elections that I researched and wrote about 10 years ago, which I will cover in detail later in this letter.
- For the Croot Tapes document it was necessary to confirm and include as footnotes details of the Council service of Aldermen other than Mick Croot, who were mentioned in the text. Margaret Murphy very kindly allowed me to photocopy the records on individual Aldermen that she has based upon the Council Card File. Regular use of that resource lead me to realise that the file is not a complete and accurate list of aldermanic and councillor service.
- That file includes some Aldermen from the early 1920's, but is most reliable from the 1960's onward. From that date it has comprehensive listings, under each Alderman, of successive, successful elections and sometimes defeats. However in some cases the information is not fully detailed or is not easily interpreted. There is attached a list of some examples of inadequate or misleading information contained in the current file.
- The biggest drawback of this file as a source of information is that all Aldermen who have served on Hurstville Council are not included. For example there are 95 names in the file, but a check of triennial election records from 1917 through to 1953 show that there are another 23 names not recorded, AND this does not count the Aldermen elected between 1887 and 1917.
- My history of Sutherland Council elections was based primarily upon both nomination lists and election results. Therefore it was possible to show the following
- * the names of all candidates, i.e. successful or not:
- * the complete details of all councillors' service from initial elections, re-elections, defeats, and/or final standing downs either by not standing, by retiring in a formal way, by resigning, by death, etc;
- * the names and frequency of standing of candidates who were never elected to that body!!!
- * the preliminary unsuccessful attempts at election by later councillors, and attempts by former councillors, who later were subsequently successful or unsuccessful in being re-elected;
- * the full details of all by-elections, including causes, candidates, and by-election results; etc.
I would like to propose, and if the proposal is acceptable, to negotiate a remuneration package with you for the following project.
- to research the history of all Council's elections, both triennial elections and by-elections, with information of all candidates, and on senior staff, which would require access to Council minute books and archives:
to prepare a database of the information obtained;'
to write and supply on disk a history of Council elections, which with appendices and index is likely to consist of some 100 pages.
to supply ( if required by Council) a copy of the database for future additions by Council staff as elections take place and councillor representations change; and
this history would naturally include information on territorial changes, such as Municipal and Ward boundaries, and changes in aldermanic numbers from time to time.
It cannot be stressed too strongly as to how important it is to record all by-elections, since they can be a source of information about a Council at that particular time. For example in Hurstville Council between March 1924 and September 1925 there were 4 by-elections. The first, on 1 March, 1924 was due to the resignation of Ald Johnson. This was followed on 12 April 1924 by the by-election "caused by the absence from four consecutive Ordinary Meetings of the Council by Ald Wilson", who was described in his nomination as an "Assistant Town Clerk". On 17 January 1925 there was the next by-election caused by the "disqualification of Ald. Macken", which was a very controversial affair. Finally on 19 September 1925 there was a by-election caused by the resignation of Ald McCall.
- Triennial elections are of equal importance. For example the 1948 Hurstville Council elections were significant in that only five of the Aldermen of the previous Council were returned and there were seven new Aldermen elected, with long standing members, such as Mallard, Olds and Croot, being defeated - all of whom returned to serve later.
- I would be grateful of the opportunity to discuss this proposal with you initially in the hope that we can reach agreement on taking it further.
- Sample List of Aldermanic Information containing errors or misconceptions
- BLACKSHAW
Elected: 1 Jan 1907 ) Penshurst Ward
Mayor: 1911 )
Away at Epping 12 months
Re-elected 1913 ) Hurstville Ward.
(does not know how long) )
Alfred Leslie Blackshaw was elected to Penshurst Ward on 1 Feb 1908 and to Hurstville Ward on 28 Jan 1911. In the above quoted extract there is no direct reference to his resignation in January 1912. Later, he was re-elected 2 August, 1913 at the by-election caused by the resignation of Ald. Musgrove early in July 1913. Ald Blackshaw did not stand for re-election on 31 January, 1914.
BLUMER, John Wheatley
Elected 1937 (1937-1941)
Re-elected 11th Dec, 1941 (1941-44)
"Deceased)"
This implies that Ald Blumer either did not stand or was defeated at the Triennial Elections on 2 Dec, 1944. However in actual fact he resigned early in March 1944 and at the subsequent by-election Daniel Lyle was elected.
CROSS, George Thomas
... (Dec. 2nd 1925 - 12 Dec 1928)
(2/1/31 - 6/8/45)
Resigned 6 Aug 1945
This entry does not cover Ald Cross' service (Peakhurst Ward) from 6 Feb 1920 to 2 Dec 1922, when he stood for Woodville Ward, but was defeated. He was returned to Council at the Elections on 2 Dec 1925, and certainly he did not stand at the Triennial election on 1 Dec, 1925, (as is indicated above). However he was re-elected at the elections of 2 Jan 1932 - deferred from Dec 1931 and not on 2/1/31 as is shown above. He resigned on 6 Aug 1945 and Ald Olds was elected in his place.
OLDS, Oliver Arnold
Elected: 6 Dec 1941 (1941-1944) ...
Re-elected: 1st Sep 1945 (1945-1948) ...
Elected: 2 Dec 1950 (1950-1959) ...
Ald Olds was defeated at the Triennial Elections on 1 Dec 1944 and was elected at the by-election on 1 Sept 1945 caused by the resignation of Ald Cross on 6 Aug 1945. He was again defeated at the Triennial Elections of 3 Dec 1948, and elected at the next Triennial Elections on 2 Dec 1950, and re-elected at subsequent elections in 1953 and 1956.
In fact Dr. Webb, although not standing as a candidate at the Triennial Elections on 1 Dec 1928, did stand again at the next Triennial Elections on 2 Jan 1932 (deferred from 5 Dec 1931). He was elected and remained on Council until the next elections on 4 Dec 1937, when he did not stand for re-election."
Following conversations with the General Manager, Mr Sargeant also confirmed that he could include information on parks, streets, buildings, etc., named after Aldermen.
- Cost of the project is $7,500 staged over 3 payments of $2,500 spaced over a period of 9 months. The copy would be full text in hard copy and on disk.
The project will be of great value to Council as it will obtain information that would otherwise never be obtained and produce other historical records of council's involvement since 1887. Mr Sargeant will also include officer involvement .
Funding for the project can be carried out by using Library Overdues Printing 46045.020 to print the material and also Vote No.40940.00.
In conclusion, Mr Sargeant has completed a similar project for Sutherland Council which as proved most valuable.
