Frank Wilkie4:44Thank you. And a mover for the recommendation, please. Oh, happy to move. Thank you, Councillor Finzel. I second. Councillor Nicola Wilson. Any discussion? All in favour? That's carried. Application, item 4.3, application of national competition policy reform. Again, all in favour? Assembly, please.
Each financial year, Council is required to decide whether to apply National Competition Policy reforms to its identified business activities. NCP reforms provide greater transparency over council's businesses and assist with removing anti-competitive conduct and ensures the best allocation of council's limited resources. Council has adopted NCP reforms with respect to the waste management and holiday park since de-amalgamation in 2014. Council has undertaken a review of the nature of other services and activities it provides to the public, including community facilities, including aquatic leisure events, arts and respite centres and cemeteries. Whilst these operations generate fees and operate on a partial user pay system, they do not have the necessary full-cost recovery and profit-making focus, and therefore Council is not seeking to apply NCP principles to those specific businesses. Accordingly, the recommendation is to apply full-cost pricing reform to the operations of waste management for the 25-26 financial year in accordance with section 441 of the Local Government Act 2009, as these operations would be considered a significant business activity and exceed the set expenditure thresholds. Also to continue to apply the code of competitive conduct to the holiday parks business activity for the 25-26 financial year in accordance with section 47 of the Local Government Act 2009.
