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
30/06/20 50% 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. Renewal SA sought community feedback on two draft structure plans
to inform the future rezoning of the affected area. Council administration undertook an analysis of the two options and
presented a report on the draft Structure Plan options to council’s Strategic Direction Committee (the Committee) at its
meeting of 2 July 2019. The Committee endorsed the report and letter (submission) to Renewal SA raising a number of
matters including the green triangle, interface, density, traffic and connectivity. Renewal SA are considered feedback and
resolving infrastructure matters. Once the structure plan has been finalised by Renewal SA, this will then inform the future
rezoning of the subject land. Implementation of the Structure Plan will be affected by the commencement of the Planning and
Design Code in September and will warrant a Code Amendment under the new system as no further DPAs will be accepted
by DPTI. We will advocate to ensure Council’s work on the AFP and inputs into the structure plan will be used to inform the
rezoning.

On 28 February 2020 Council made a detailed submission to the State Planning Commission on the draft Planning and
Design Code. Our submission contained comments of support and areas where we considered improvements could be made.
With regard to Clarendon in particular we reiterated the need and communities desire for the application of the Significant
Landscape Protection Overlay to replicate the (former) Landscape Environs Precinct and for further improvements for the
Heritage Area Statements.
Together, the CCA and Council’s submissions clearly outlined how these matters are consistent with existing policy and how
they can be achieved under the Code. At this time, we have not received a response to the submission however we’ll continue
to advocate on behalf of our community to achieve their views.

SmartyGrants which will streamline the grants process considerably. A grant writing workshop was held with 38 businesses in
attendance who participated in an interactive workshop, where they created accounts and started working on their online
applications with guidance from our team. Our team has met with around 60 businesses to discuss their intent to apply for a
grant. Besides the Grant Writing Workshop, only one Discovery Session was delivered in February, which was a tutorial on
Economy.ID. After this the COVID-19 restrictions prompted us to cancel our other sessions with a move to facilitating
webinars to deliver the content remotely. The Southern Business Mentoring Program (SBMP) completed its first full quarter
with 60 bookings taking place for City of Onkaparinga businesses. The SBMP has pivoted its services to respond to
immediate needs around COVID-19, and additional advisors are being added to the program in both Wellbeing and Retail
streams. The array of summer activations were successfully wound up in March with an evaluation report going to council in
May. A review of the ON Program is underway in light of recent changes, with the delivery of a Buy Local campaign being
expedited to respond. A dedicated webpage, a suite of resources and regular e-news briefings have been created to assist
businesses to source funding and support during the crisis. Other initiatives, including a recovery grants package are being

analysis.
A key component of the OLAP is stakeholder engagement. A community leaders forum was scheduled for 27 March however
due to COVID-19 and based on advice provided by the Australian Government regarding restrictions and guidelines for public
gatherings, in the interest of public health and safety this event was cancelled.
However, to ensure active participation of key community leaders in our Local Area Planning process we took the opportunity
to provide an online scene-setting presentation and facilitated discussion via council’s YourSay platform. We sent out an email
invitation to stakeholders to join us and other community leaders in the Community Leaders Online Discussion Forum, where
participants where encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas on the future growth of our city.
The feedback received from community leaders will be taken into consideration in the preparation of the draft Local Area Plan.

Government and project proponents to secure shared use of identified school facilities for community use.
Status Update
Staff have been working with the state government and the successful proponent team (TESA Education) (contracted by the
state to build and operate the new school) to progress opportunities for shared use of the school facilities. A final Shared-Use
Agreement (known as the Council Enhancements Deed) was endorsed by Council in March 2020 and executed by the CEO in
accordance with Council’s delegated authority. This agreement secures Council’s interests in key sports facilities including the
senior oval, 2 soccer pitches and the indoor multi-purpose court facility, for a period of 30 years. The school project
development application (lodged in December 2019) was the subject of a State Commission Assessment Panel (SCAP)
hearing in March 2020. The Minister for Education has now granted approval for the project, subject to a number of conditions.
Council staff continue to work with the Project Team and state government to ensure that these conditions are met, and
particularly, that infrastructure associated with the school (stormwater, road access and car parking) is being planned and
designed to integrate with existing and future networks. The project builder, Sarah Constructions, commenced works on site in

project to include a multi-use tennis court. The final scope will be refined dependent on the final design and associated
costing. There are ongoing discussions with the RRSF about the possibility of further additional external support to allow
expansion of this scope to include more tennis courts, a community oval and running track, in line with the greater vision for
this reserve. The design of the reserve upgrade and skate park is progressing and a contractor has been engaged to construct
the skate park. Opportunities for the community to input into the design process will be shared on council’s Your Say website.
