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.

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 90% complete. A substantial effort
has been made to streamline the processes and ensure all aspects of the business are kept informed and involved, which has

UPGRADE (DESIGN)

A Strategic Management Plan (SMP) has been approved by Strategic Directions Committee (24/11/15) to guide future public
and private investment in the suburb. Renewal SA has partnered Council in the preparation of this plan. A five year action plan
has been prepared which identifies priority actions that can be acheived in the short term. The SMP has a strong focus on
attracting external funding through state government and private investment. The timing of Council's investment is predicated
on state government funding in the central 'heart' precinct .
Status Update
The City of Onkaparinga has been successful in receiving $1.5M state government grant funding through the Open Space
Places for People Program for the Morton Road reserve upgrade, Christie Downs. The upgrade of Morton Road Reserve into
a central park is identified as a key action in the 20 Year Christie Downs Strategic Management Plan(SMP) under the
objective ‘create a vibrant heart of Christie Downs’. In 2017 council was approached by the Roger Rasheed Sports Foundation
(RRSF) expressing interest in a partnership opportunity in the City of Onkaparinga to provide children in disadvantaged
communities access to diverse sports facilities as well as ongoing sports programs and mentors. A $5M vision for a sport and
community hub was developed by the RRSF which responds to the objectives of both Council’s SMP and the RRSF. This
grant funding will enable delivery of a $3M upgrade of this reserve. This will focus on priority open space facilities including a
skate park, hard and soft surface activity spaces, shelters and seating, landscaping, pedestrian links, BBQ facilities, an
adventure play space, public amenities and stormwater management. The final scope will be dependent on the final design
and associated costings. Whilst this can be delivered as a standalone project there are ongoing discussions with the RRSF
about the possibility of additional, external support to allow expansion of this scope, in line with the greater vision for this
reserve.
