TITLE: MAYORAL MINUTE - Council of Mayors (SEQ) Delegation to Los Angeles County

AUTHOR: MAYOR TERESA HARDING

RECOMMENDATION

That Council approves Mayor Teresa Harding’s participation in the Council of Mayors’ (SEQ) delegation to Los Angeles County in February 2027.

Summary

This Mayoral Minute is seeking Council’s approval for Mayor Teresa Harding to participate in the Council of Mayors’ (SEQ) delegation to Los Angeles County in February 2027.

The delegation will bring together civic and business leaders from across South East Queensland to strengthen trade, investment and innovation partnerships with one of the world’s largest economies, Los Angeles County, ahead of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Led by the Council of Mayors (SEQ), the delegation will focus on advanced manufacturing, infrastructure, urban development and the sports economy, while offering insights into Los Angeles' experience delivering major events, including FIFA World Cup 2026, Super Bowl LXI and preparations for the 2028 Games.

A key component of the delegation is the inclusion of business representatives from across South East Queensland. The delegation is expected to attract between 50 and 60 business delegates, alongside up to 20 civic delegates, creating opportunities to build new trade and investment connections, and showcase South East Queensland businesses to international investors and markets.

As a Brisbane 2032 co-host city and home to one of Queensland's fastest-growing industrial and manufacturing economies, Ipswich has a direct interest in strengthening international business connections and understanding how global cities leverage major events to drive long-term economic growth.

The delegation program is currently proposed to take place from 19 February to 26 February 2027, coinciding with activations by the Australian Government, American Australian Association, Tourism Australia and Austrade to drive trade, investment and links between Australia and the United States.

This invitation was extended to Mayor Teresa Harding in her capacity as a Board Director of the Council of Mayors (SEQ). Mayor Harding's participation comes at minimal additional cost, with participation in the delegation funded by the Council of Mayors (SEQ) as part of Council's annual membership.

Council is only required to cover the cost of incidentals such as travel insurance, international roaming for work-related devices, occasional meals and local parking / transfers.

BA CKGROUND

1. Current Significant Matters

New Indigenous Accord adopted

Council adopted the Indigenous Accord 2026–2031, providing a strategic framework to strengthen relationships, cultural recognition, economic participation and wellbeing outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Developed with input from more than 250 community members, the Accord builds on more than 30 years of reconciliation efforts and recent initiatives supporting cultural recognition, inclusion, employment, youth leadership and community connection. The Accord reflects Council’s ongoing commitment to reconciliation through respect, recognition, partnership and practical action.

Ipswich Nature Centre Refurbishment

The northern boardwalk upgrade at Ipswich Nature Centre was completed as part of the $3.6 million refurbishment project, improving accessibility, safety and the visitor experience. The works included replacement of 130 metres of boardwalk, reopening several animal enclosures and upgrades to pathways and facilities. Construction of a new animal care facility is continuing, with completion expected in early 2027, supporting improved animal welfare, biosecurity, conservation and education outcomes.

Grande Park Playground Upgrade

Upgrades to Grande Park playground at Springfield Lakes have been completed, delivering a new mountain slide, natural play elements and landscaping. The improvements provide enhanced play opportunities for younger children while addressing erosion and stormwater runoff. Shade sails are also planned to provide additional sun protection for park users.

Development in Ipswich Portal

Council launched a new Development in Ipswich portal on Shape Your Ipswich, providing a central location for information about significant development applications, planning processes and resources. The portal improves transparency and makes it easier for residents to access information, understand development proposals and participate in the planning process.

Ripley Road and Reif Street Intersection Upgrade

The $3.6 million upgrade of the Ripley Road and Reif Street intersection at Flinders View has been completed, improving safety, traffic flow and connectivity between Ripley Valley and the Ipswich CBD. The project included upgrades to the signalised intersection and dedicated turning and merging lanes, supporting current travel needs and future population growth. The project was jointly funded by Council and the Queensland Government.

New Waste Voucher for Ipswich Households now available

Council introduced a new waste voucher, giving Ipswich households greater choice in disposing of large household items. Each financial year, households can choose either a free voucher to dispose of up to 500kg of domestic waste at a Resource Recovery Centre or an on-demand kerbside collection. The initiative responds to community feedback, provides cost-of-living support and encourages responsible waste management and reduced landfill.

2. Workplace Health and Safety

Note: State Average for December 2025 and April 2026 is not available

Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) LTIFR rate is calculated on a calendar year and not a 12-month rolling total which ICC uses.

The physical and psychosocial safety and wellbeing of the workforce continues to be the CEO and the organisation’s first and foremost priority.

Note: State Average for December 2025 and April 2026 is not available

The LTSR rate equates to the number of days lost for each LTI. The State Average is the average of LTSR across the 62 local councils within the LGAQ scheme. The LGAQ rate is calculated on a calendar year and not a 12-month rolling total which ICC uses.

Note: State Average for December 2025 and April 2026 is not available

The IIR rate is the number of injury incidents per 100 workers. The State Average is the average of IIR across the 62 local councils within the LGAQ scheme.

3. Update on Corporate/Operational Plans

The Quarterly Performance Report for July-September 2026 (Quarter 1 period) on the 2026-2027 Operational Plan will be presented to the November 2026 Council Ordinary Meeting.

The current Annual Plan and the last quarterly report are available on council’s website: https://www.ipswich.qld.gov.au

The new Corporate Plan 2026-2031 was presented and adopted at the 28 May 2026 Council Ordinary Meeting and has been in effect since 1 July 2026. iFuture 2021-2026, Council’s previous Corporate Plan, will be fully concluded within the 2025-2026 Annual Report to be presented to the October 2026 Council Ordinary Meeting.

4. Major Key Performance Indicators

People and Culture

The total workforce for the council organisation ‘head count’ was 1612 in September 2026.

Staff turnover ra

te was at 10.96% in September 2026, down by 0.33% from August 2026.

For interest, but not direct comparison due to the time and calculation differential, the annual average workforce attrition rate for councils for 2025 reported by the LGAQ was around 18%.

Finance

The full financial performance report for September 2026 has been provided to Council as a separate agenda item.

The total net result (including capital revenue) for Council as of 30 September 2026 is $75.3 million, this is $27.3 million favourable to the budget of $48.0 million. It is largely the result of donated assets higher than expected in the budget, timing of capital grant revenue and development charges in addition to favourable interest revenue.

Council’s YTD operating surplus was $0.5 million, compared to a budgeted deficit of $8.1 million, driven by higher development application volumes and interest revenue. Lower materials and services and employee costs, largely due to the timing of contracted activities and vacancies, also contributed to the favourable result. This was partly offset by higher labour contract expenses and increased depreciation following the June 2026 asset revaluation.

Total capital expenditure (excluding asset donations and disaster recovery) is $35.8 million year to date to September, which is $0.8 million ahead of the budget of $35.0 million.

Capital Delivery Program 2026-2027

A satisfactory performance for the month of September with actual Capital Expenditure being $7.174 million against a budget of $7.855 million.

Pleasingly this keeps the overall capital delivery performance ahead of schedule for the first quarter of the financial year and positioned well for the coming months.

YTD expenditure sits at $22.742 million against a YTD budget of $18.921 million.

5. Risk and Compliance Update

Corporate Risk Register

Council’s corporate risk register is reviewed on a regular basis. Council’s corporate risk register was last reviewed at the ELT Risk Committee meeting that occurred on 23 July 2026.

Council’s corporate risk register and risk trends in these risks are reported through Council’s Audit and Risk Management Committee (ARMC) which is held every quarter. Council continues to seek to actively manage and mitigate its corporate risks.

Legal Matters

2026

Doc ID No: A13495567

ITEM: 16.2

SUBJECT: Update on Status of Suspected Councillor Conduct Breach - Matter C/26/0063

AUTHOR: Acting Executive Services Manager

DATE: 22 October 2026

Executive Summary

This is a report concerning the referral and subsequent investigation process of a suspected conduct breach of a Councillor.

Recommendation/s

That the report providing an update on the investigation process be received and the contents noted.

RELATED PARTIES

The subject Councillor has a conflict of interest in the matter and must declare the conflict of interest. The subject Councillor may remain in the meeting during the debate and may answer questions put to the subject Councillor through the chairperson to assist the eligible councillors in making a decision.

Should the complainant be a Councillor, that Councillor has a conflict of interest in the matter and should consider how this is managed in line with the provisions under Chapter 5B of the Local Government Act 2009. In this matter, the Chief Executive Officer is the complainant, and so this is not applicable.

CORPORATE PLAN Theme

A Trusted and Leading Organisation

Purpose of Report/Background

Section 367 of the Local Government Act 2009 (the Act), as inserted by the Local Government (Empowering Councils) and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2026 , provides transitional arrangements for Councillor conduct matters that were underway before the relevant amendments commenced on 1 July 2026. Those reforms removed conduct breaches from the Councillor conduct framework; however, section 367 preserves the former legislative provisions for existing matters so they can be finalised under the framework that applied before the reforms commenced. As the conduct matter addressed in this report commenced before 1 July 2026 and remains unresolved, Council is required to consider and determine the matter under those preserved provisions and Investigation Policy.

On 9 February 2026, the Office of the Independent Assessor (OIA) received a notification in relation to the conduct of a Councillor of Ipswich City Council.

On 23 February 2026, the OIA referred the conduct matter to Council for an investigation to be undertaken in line with the Act and Council’s Investigation Policy. The letter of referral is attached as confidential Attachment 1.

Arising from the OIA’s referral, pursuant to Section 150AF of the previous Act, the local government must investigate the Councillor’s conduct. In accordance with Council’s Investigation Policy, an investigation of suspected conduct breach by a Councillor must be carried out in accordance with natural justice.

An external investigator was engaged in March 2026 and the investigation process was then commenced.

Attachment 2 sets out a timeline for the investigation completion for consideration by the Council.

Legal IMPLICATIONS

This report and its recommendations are consistent with the following legislative provisions:

Local Government Act 2009

policy implications

This report has been prepared in line with the requirements of the Act (including transitional provisions) and the Ipswich City Council Investigation Policy.

RISK MANAGEMENT IMPLICATIONS

Not applicable.

Financial/RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS

Not applicable.

COMMUNITY and OTHER CONSULTATION

Not applicable.

Conclusion

Following finalisation of the investigation, a further report will be submitted to Council for determination of whether or not the Councillor has engaged in a conduct breach.

HUMAN RIGHTS IMPLICATIONS

HUMAN RIGHTS IMPACTS

RECEIVE AND NOTE REPORT

The Recommendation states that the report be received and the contents noted. The decision to receive and note the report does not limit human rights. Therefore, the decision is compatible with human rights.
