3. Welcoming Cities Membership
Resolution: Moved by Mayor Teresa Harding:
3. Welcoming Cities Membership
Ipswich City Council has been invited to join the Welcoming Cities network.
Welcoming Cities is a national initiative that supports local councils to achieve their social inclusion objectives. The Welcoming Cities network consists of councils and other organisations with an interest in social inclusion and cohesion to share knowledge, create partnerships and celebrate success (Attachment 1).
Ipswich is a diverse community and the value of community inclusion is consistent across Council, from Advance Ipswich (published) to the draft Community Development Strategy and draft iFuture Corporate Plan (both to be adopted later this year). Membership to the Welcoming Cities network provides credence to that commitment to inclusion and provides council with access to a community of practice, accreditation and other forms of support to strengthen our approach to inclusion.
A condition of membership of Welcoming Cities is Mayoral or CEO endorsement (Attachment 2). Therefore this report outlines the benefits and obligations of membership and seeks the endorsement of this committee and then Council, to join and officially become a ‘Welcoming City’.
RECOMMENDATION
Moved by Mayor Teresa Harding:
Seconded by Councillor Kate Kunzelmann:
A. That Council join and participate in the Welcoming Cities Network to the value of $5,000 for a 12 month membership; a national network of cities committed to nurturing communities where everyone can belong and participate in social, economic and civic life.
B. That Council endorse the work required to become a Welcoming City by undertaking the first three steps in the formal process:
i. Commit to Welcome – a formal commitment demonstrated by the Mayor’s signature and submission of the official Commitment Form;
ii. Community Welcome – develop messaging and communications that highlight unity and shared values, demonstrating that diverse voices are listened to and celebrated;
iii. Plan for welcome – consider existing policies and strategies and identify new opportunities to embed welcoming and inclusion across the organisation and for the community.

4. Ipswich City Heart Cabs Review
Resolution: Moved by Councillor Kate Kunzelmann:
4. Ipswich City Heart Cabs Review
Ipswich City Heart Cabs (ICHC) is a community transport program commenced in 2010 to help address the issue of social isolation in the community. ICHC funded taxi-fares for eligible residents to local shopping centres. In the eleven (11) years since the program was commenced, many other programs have entered the market that better address community transport needs.
Based on the findings of a report commissioned by council, it is recommended that the program be discontinued, users are redirected to other community transport options and funding allocated to other programs to better address social isolation.
This report provides a summary of the history of the program, background on the program review and seeks Council’s endorsement of the recommendations
RECOMMENDATION
Moved by Councillor Kate Kunzelmann:
Seconded by Mayor Teresa Harding:
A. That the attached report, ‘Ipswich City Heart Cab Review’ be received and the contents noted.
B. That the three (3) recommendations contained within the report be endorsed by council. Those recommendations being:
i. The current form of the Ipswich City Heart Cabs Program be discontinued;
** ii. Council officers develop a communication and change management program to effectively discontinue the current form of the Ipswich City Heart Cabs Program; and
iii. Council officers investigate opportunities for reallocation of funds to more effectively achieve the outcomes of the Ipswich City Heart Cabs Program.
