Units Located Wandoan
File No 6/9/1 & 5/1/21 & 6/1/22
Summary/Purpose
Mr Pat Devline from the Wandoan Housing Group addressed Council on the following matters:-
Wandoan had raised public money to build aged care units in association with Queensland
Housing
Local Wandoan Housing Association has been running these units for past 10 years
Queensland Housing had contributed major part of finance
Passionate about having units in town available for aged people - want to keep control
locally and not be dictated to by Queensland Housing as to who comes into the units
Approached Queensland Housing for a buy out figure for units - the figure is $400,000
Their proposal to Council is to ask for a certain amount as a grant and for a long term loan to
purchase units to maintain a community asset - group believes they could handle a
$200,000 loan
8 units, 4 duplex and one duplex owned by RSL - held on two parcels - presently free-
holding allotments
Tenants pay rent and this money is to be spent on maintenance and Queensland Housing
has advised that any money in the bank to be provided back to them
Group had placed a submission to Council, however Queensland Housing advised that
because they had not acted quick enough then they were closing the availability time for
submission to be submitted
Group had verbal commitment to extend the time for the proposal to be considered by
Council during the budget deliberations
Had a meeting with Lee Vohland and Vicki Ketchell to discuss proposal
Southern Cross have made an approach to purchase the units
Wandoan Group not averse to Council owning the units, as that would ensure the units
remain a community asset
Rent in the town has increased due to the mining activities and elderly people finding it
difficult to pay the expensive rent
There is room for expansion with the units
Handyman position at the units could work in conjunction with Council to utilise for the
township
Asset criteria is a problem for the elderly
Cr Cosgrove advised that Bell is in the same situation with Queensland Housing (Mike Mitze)
advising that if they wanted to buy out the units, they would need to get a valuation done and that
Queensland Housing may be approached for loan options which could include interest free terms.
Mayor Cr Ray Brown advised that Council would need to consider the matter across the region and
will need to approach State Government to seek extra funding for the support to community
facilities.

Signed:
Summary/Purpose
A letter dated 23 July 2008 advising that the Minister for Main Roads and Local Government had
met with a representative group of Chief Executive Officers to discuss the practicalities in using the
current expenses reimbursement policy and guidelines.
The guidelines were established to ensure accountability and transparency by councils in dealing
with councillor entitlements and obligations. Feedback from councils indicates that the current
expenses reimbursement policy guidelines are too prescriptive and have increased the cost for
councils to administer.
Given this feedback, the Minister has decided that the current guidelines and the requirement for a
council to have its Expenses Reimbursement Policy approved will be rescinded and the guidelines
will be replaced with a simple set of principles:-
Use of public monies in the public interest by responsible budgeting and accounting;
Fair and reasonable allocation of council resources (allowances, facilities and other benefits)
to enable all councillors to conduct the duties of their office
Transparent decision-making by public disclosure of policy and resolutions; and
Accountability for expenditure and use of facilities through full justification and acquittal.
Councils may, if they wish, amend the draft expenses policy previously approved by the Director
General.

works, except in the following circumstances:
(i) where it is Council’s opinion that necessary works would result in the
provision of sub-standard services for future development and the
work is not critical to the development, or
(ii) where it is Council’s opinion the work is very minor, not critical to the
development, and, the timing for the completion of that work is an
unreasonable impost on the developer.
In both cases, the acceptance of security in lieu of works is at Council’s
