SUMMARY:

Council is requested to consider proposals for the Community Development Fund that have been received from organisations in response to the recent call for applications. Funding decisions will allow for allocations in the 2024/25 financial year and allocations for the Annual Budget in 2024/25. 

 

BACKGROUND

 

Previous Considerations

 

OMC 27 April 2023                        Item 13.1

OMC 30 March 2023                    Item 9.3.1

OMC 15 December 2022             Item 9.3.1

OMC 28 April 2022                        Item 9.3.2

SMC 21 December 2021              Item 5.3.1

 

The Community Development Fund (CDF) program funds organisations within the Shire of Broome to develop and run initiatives and events that deliver long-term social or economic benefits to the local community. The CDF Guidelines were adopted at the 15 December 2022 Ordinary Meeting of Council (OMC), following the amalgamation of the Events Development Fund (EDF) and the Annual Community Matched Fund (ACMF). This is the second year of CDF.

 

Community Development Fund Stream 1 applications are funded through a combination of Shire budgeted funds and Energy Developments Limited—West Kimberley Community Fund (EDL) grant funding. Stream 2 and 3 applications are allocated through the Shire’s annual budget.

 

The CDF is separated into 3 streams.   

-        Stream 1 is for community projects and initiatives seeking a funding contribution of $500 - $10,000;  

-        Stream 2 is for events seeking a funding contribution of $1,000 - $40,000;  

-        Stream 3 is for PEARL events seeking a funding contribution of more than $40,000 per year (invite only). 

 

The application deadline for CDF closed on March 20, 2024. A total of 33 CDF applications were received. In this report, officers have summarised each application received and the recommended funding allocation for Council consideration.

COMMENT

 

Application Assessment Process 

 

Each application was assessed in line with the CDF guidelines endorsed by Council. This involved:  

 

After the closing date;   

1.     Applications are reviewed for eligibility.  

2.     Applications are scored against the following criteria by an internal panel made up of community engagement and economic development officers: 

a) Quality of the project or event, taking into account the extent to which the application complements other activity planned or proposed in Broome and the legacy of the project for the Broome community.   

b) The extent to which the event, project or initiative addresses the fund objectives as per Section 2. 

c) The credibility of the project budget and project delivery plan. 

d) Value for money in terms of impact, other funding sources secured and organisational need. 

Officers will also use the following balancing criteria if required. These will not be scored but may be taken into account when making final recommendations:   

e) balance of projects recommended for funding across type of project and demographics of beneficiaries. 

f)  The initiative is a new activity within the Shire that helps fill a gap in current activity (i.e.: a new activity for an audience demographic currently under-catered for). 

g) New projects and organisations that have not received funding, or projects and organisations experiencing growth, may be prioritised over projects that have received funding previously for similar activity.   

h) The level of recognition that the Shire will receive for its funding of the project. 

 

3.     Officers will present recommendations to a working group made up of elected members before submitting them to Council for approval at the Ordinary Meeting of Council in April 2024. 

 

Officers with expertise in club development, place activation, and economic development convened to review applications against the criteria and recommend funding, following Steps 1 and 2 of the assessment process. Recommendations from this process are included under the Officer Recommendations column in the CDF Recommendations Table Attachment 1.  

 

Step 3 (the Working Group) was streamlined this year to reduce the administrative burden on Council and Shire officers.  Instead of a specific working group, Step 3 was undertaken through a Special Council Workshop, held on 8 April 2024. The workshop was attended by Cr Cooper, Cr Lewis, Cr Male, Cr Mitchell, Cr Smith, Cr Taylor, and Cr Virgo. A second workshop was held at the Shire on 21 May, 2024. This was attended by Cr Cooper, Cr Lewis, Cr Male, Cr Mitchell, Cr Smith and Cr Virgo.

 

Of the sponsorship applications received, 24 were reviewed under Stream 1, and 18 are recommended for funding.

 

In Stream 2, 9 applications were reviewed, and 7 were recommended for funding. A request for additional funding from Shinju Matsuri was considered under Stream 3.

 

As indicated below, some applications are not recommended due to non-compliance with the guidelines or other concerns.

REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING UNDER STREAM 3– SHINJU MATSURI INC.

Festival Finale Drone Show – $10,000

To fund the $30,000 drone show, they are seeking $10,000 from the Shire of Broome, in addition to the $20,000 secured from the Broome International Airport.

 

Shinju Matsuri plans to use preexisting content from their preferred drone supplier, Stellar Lights and hopes to include unique elements specific to Broome in the show.

Officers will confirm whether the Shire will have naming rights to the Drone show.

 

$10,000 - Festival Hub Enhancement

 

Shinju has requested $10,000 to improve the infrastructure at the Festival Hub, including equipment for the bar container and extra furniture. In 2022, funding from the Shire helped Shinju acquire and modify two shipping containers for the bar and storage. The aim now is to make these containers and the hub area safer and more compliant, with improved functionality and service offerings.  

 

The enhancements, like custom furniture and storage, will expand the food and beverage offerings at the hub, which has been requested by visitors and ensure compliance with food safety standards and event permits.

 

Officers recommend that the Shire of Broome support both requests for funding.

Council has the right to determine funding allocations as per the CDF Guidelines.

 

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

 

The Community Development Fund for Streams 1, 2, and 3 is allocated through the annual budget. Council has the right to determine the funding allocations annually and across each stream depending on the quality and quantity of funding applications.

EDL funding is provided through Reserve Funding, which currently has a balance of $26,628. Should the officer’s recommendations be supported, applications will be recommended to EDL for funding if they meet the EDL-specific guidelines. Funding for projects determined to be eligible through EDL will be assigned to that relative account.

 

The Shire signed a Memorandum of Understanding with EDL on 8 August 2011; according to the agreement, the monies must be fully distributed within fifteen years. Through consultation with Shire officers, EDL has generously agreed to contribute an additional $50,000 to the West Kimberley Community Fund, which will be used for the final two years of the MOU agreement, 2025-26 and 2026-27.
