From: Craig Kenny <[email protected]>Sent: Thursday, 6 July 2017 9:18 AMTo: Elissa McElroyCc: [email protected]; Craig KennySubject: Email of Introduction - Inner Melbourne Action Plan

Dear Elissa,

I am writing to introduce an old colleague of mine, Robert Stopajnik who might seek to make contact with you in

coming weeks. Robert works as the Director of Integrated Housing & Land at Development Victoria but also sits on

the Future Forum for the Committee for Melbourne.

Robert has requested a number of senior contacts across local government to test project concepts that underpin

the Committee for Melbourne’s strategic pillars, these are: future economy, infrastructure, urban optimisation and

liveability.

A short summary of the proposals is outlined below but Robert is interested in exploring other partnership ideas if

they arise.

Option 1): Developing a platform that promotes participation in a range of unique events, tours and experiences

across wider Melbourne. This is where people would travel from the CBD to a suburb of Melbourne and partake in

an event that focuses on storytelling a historical element or other significant story unique to that suburb.

Option 2): Create a partnership between the Biomedical centre in Parkville and councils so as to facilitate

promotional and educational events/activities that seeks to better inform and inspire the wider Melbourne

community of the wonders that are being researched, discovered and applied within this significant precinct.

Regards,

Craig

Dear Minister

Smart Cities and Suburbs Program - Round I application

"Taking CLUE to the Cloud for Councils, Communities and Commerce"

I write to confirm the support of the Maribyrnong City Council in the grant

application by the IMAP Councils for the proposal entitled "Taking CLUE to the

Cloud for Councils, Communities and Commerce".

Maribyrnong City Council is a member of the Inner Melbourne Action Plan (IMAP)

Councils, along with the Cities of Melbourne, Port Phillip, Yarra, and Stonnington

and is very supportive of projects to collaborate over the provision of support

services across the inner Melbourne region, as this greatly assists with our own

planning and service provision. Our Council supports the City of Melbourne as

the lead applicant for this project, acting on behalf of the IMAP Councils.

The Maribyrnong City Council is actively pursuing ways to respond to the rapid

growth being experienced in our community. The scope of the project outlined in

this proposal is highly complementary to our strategic direction and enables us to

consider land use and services provision over the inner city region, thereby

ensuring a more combined planning approach by the IMAP councils at a time of

significant growth in Melbourne.

All the IMAP councils face significant future challenges through projected urban

growth and the associated pressures this places on our residents and existing

land uses. We need good information to guide our strategic decision-making

about the best use of land and facilities. This project addresses the future needs

of our communities through providing improved accessibility to current,

consistent, local information, with a proven track record, which will be invaluable

for assisting strategic and transport planning, economic development, community

planning and service delivery across the five municipalities.

The Maribyrnong City Council agrees to contribute in-principle to this project both

through the combined IMAP funds, to which it is a contributor, and by providing

an additional $25K in funding - plus in-kind staff support for this project in 2017-

18. All cash contributions to the project are sourced from funds received by the

Council through our rates recovery processes, and are subject to our Councils'

annual Budget approval processes.

Our staff are currently assisting in the initial phase, collating information on data

needs and information gaps prior to commencement of this Project. Access to the

CLUE system will replace our fragmented databases and inconsistent surveys,

improving our ability to plan and provide appropriate services from a more

comprehensive knowledge base.

The Maribyrnong City Council will provide the assistance of a senior staff

member, the Manager City Business, to contribute professional employment time

to the Project Steering Group and provide support to the project team, be

responsible for the overall management and the implementation of the project at

Maribyrnong Council and for managing the Maribyrnong City Council's

contribution to this project from other departments.

The overall agreed contribution from the Maribyrnong City Council is confirmed

as follows:

Cash Contribution 2017-18 TOTAL

IMAP — the cash contribution is generated from approved

project funds from the five member councils

As noted by

CoM as lead

council ($10k

Dear Minister

Smart Cities and Suburbs Program - Round 1 application:

“Taking CLUE to the Cloud for Councils, Communities and Commerce”

For ten years, Melbourne’s inner Metropolitan Councils - the cities of Melbourne, Yarra, Stonnington, Port Phillip and Maribyrnong City Council, have worked together to develop and implement the strategies and actions set out in the Inner Melbourne Action Plan (IMAP).

IMAP’s aim is to strengthen the liveability, attractiveness and prosperity of the region and respond to growth and changes occurring in the inner city. The IMAP projects have had a successful track record in fostering ongoing cooperation, goodwill and active participation between IMAP stakeholders, and the completion of key regional projects with impact beyond their municipal boundaries.

The Inner Melbourne Action Plan is unique in bringing key government stakeholders together to develop and deliver regionally based actions within an effective governance framework. IMAP strategies and actions are identified as key areas for regional cooperation within the central city.

The scope of the project outlined in this proposal is highly complementary to the 5 inner Melbourne Council’s strategic direction and underlies how the five partner Councils aim to achieve the Goals and Mission set out in our Inner Melbourne Action Plan 2016-26. That plan states:

“We will collaborate to deliver strategies, policies and regional scale projects that benefit inner Melbourne …

We will undertake research and development initiatives and gather data that will improve how we understand, plan, and manage the inner city. We will partner with State and Federal Government, Universities and other research organisations in this pursuit. This work will challenge current practices as well as create efficiencies and reduce duplication across organisations. It will also enable new ideas and initiatives to be incubated, to the benefit of not only Inner Melbourne but other Councils and regions”.

The IMAP region hosts the capital city of Victoria, incorporating the major financial, administrative, retail, cultural and entertainment functions of the state. Inner Melbourne faces significant future challenges through

projected urban growth and the associated pressures this places on our residents, transport systems, housing, open space, community infrastructure and services, and existing land uses.

As the economic hub of the city, the five IMAP Councils need good information to guide strategic decision-making about the use of land in the Inner Melbourne region, and to ensure we maintain the liveability of the city for new and existing residents. In particular, good land use and employment data for monitoring trends and future planning is needed to manage the growth affecting the health and wellbeing of our residents and economy, and to ensure that we continue to provide sufficient facilities, services, space and opportunities that cater for a growing inner city population. With a number of inner city growth areas identified in Plan Melbourne being located within the IMAP Council region, careful analysis and planning is required to ensure we provide appropriate facilities within close proximity to where people reside, to enable them to participate in their community and maintain jobs and healthy lifestyles.

The IMAP Councils support the City of Melbourne as the Lead Applicant representing IMAP in this application with the Australian Government, and the City of Melbourne will act on their behalf. All cash contributions to the project are sourced from funds received by the five Councils through our rates recovery processes, and are subject to our councils’ annual Budget approval processes. The IMAP funds will contributed the following to this project:

Overall Project Budget

Cash Contribution 2017-18

IMAP – the cash contribution is generated from approved project funds from the five member councils, invoiced by the City of Stonnington for IMAP.

$50,000 ($10K per partner Council)

The IMAP Executive Officer will work closely with the Steering Group and all five councils to ensure all receive added value and greater collaboration from the project, and will facilitate regular reporting opportunities to the IMAP Implementation Committee, comprising the Mayors and CEOs of the 5 Councils.

Yours sincerely,

Elissa McElroy

IMAP Projects - Business case template Attachment 2d

Approach to Homelessness

Name and purpose of the project/action

G3.P4 – Consistent Approach in the Response to Homelessness.

Alignment with IMAP Goals and Strategies

Goal 3 – Diverse, vibrant, healthy and inclusive communities.

Investment logic analysis (e.g. what are the problems, benefits, potential strategic responses and solutions)

The profile and scale of homelessness in the IMAP region, have changed significantly in recent years. This is due to changes in State and Federal Government policies and increasing housing and living costs. IMAP Councils are seeing homeless people from a range of backgrounds with complex needs, which is placing increased pressure on services. This requires IMAP Councils to consider how to respond in terms of service delivery and advocacy to State and Federal Governments for improved outcomes. IMAP does not have a clear policy position on homelessness. Identifying a clear position will allow for effective advocacy. It will also allow for informed investment by IMAP Councils in homeless services and partnerships in service delivery, information sharing and training.

Project scope and timeframe;

The project scope are as follows:

Development of a discussion paper outlining the evidence and

issues associated with homelessness and housing stress in IMAP

Councils.

An advocacy paper that outlines the IMAP position on

homelessness

Implementation of an IMAP homelessness service coordination

framework.

Each of the projects has defined outcomes, deliverables and timeframes which are outlined at Appendix 1.

Project cost and funding sources;

$50,000

Lead Council and project team

Maribyrnong City Council is the lead Council. A project committee has been formed which consists of housing and homelessness officers from the IMAP Councils. The project committee will meet on a monthly basis to support the implementation of the project.

Assessment against IMAP project criteria;

Alignment with the IMAP vision -

Will the project/action demonstrably enhance the liveability of Inner Melbourne by delivering defined outcomes which contribute to achievement of the goal and aims of the plan?

The project will enhance liveability of Inner Melbourne by delivering outcomes from the project in line with the other actions contained in Goal 3 Diverse, vibrant, healthy and inclusive communities. This includes P2 Affordable Housing Controls and Targets and P3 IMAP Communities Infrastructure Plan 2026.

Does the project/action align with potential programs and/or funding opportunities within the state or federal government, or elsewhere?

The project will align with the State Government Homelessness Taskforce and State Government Homes for Victoria program. The project will also align with the Proposed Framework for Responding Effectively to Homelessness in the City of Melbourne.

Regional benefit -

Will the project/action’s benefits accrue to a broader region (i.e. more than just one local authority)?

An IMAP position on homelessness will assist other metropolitan and regional Councils, by providing a clear statement on the role of local government in managing homelessness and housing stress in local communities.

Is there sufficient agreement amongst the IMAP members to undertake the project/action?

The IMAP Homeless Project Steering Group has been formed. The members of this group are officers involved in housing and homelessness issues from the IMAP Councils.

Shared resources -

Are there opportunities for resource sharing and/or economies of scale?

Yes, sharing of information and resources between IMAP members.

Focus on results -

Does the project/action present opportunities to find new or better ways to address issues/challenges facing Inner Melbourne?

The project will provide IMAP Councils with a clear set of advocacy priorities and options for service and information sharing on key issues such as sleeping rough along with other presentations of homelessness, such as rooming houses and overcrowding. The project also presents the opportunity to create partnership with the non-government sector organisations for information and resource sharing on managing homelessness and growing affordable and social housing.

Can the expected results of the project/action be clearly defined?

Identify the key areas for IMAP Councils, which can be used to

support advocacy to State and Federal Governments

Identify the priority areas for shared investment and joint

projects

Identify opportunities for shared learnings, projects, service

coordination and systems improvement

Timeliness -

Can the desired result be achieved within a 5-10-year period?

The outcomes of the project can be implemented in line with the IMAP Action Plan timeframes.

Effectiveness -

Do the expected outcomes warrant the expected investment of time and resources?

Inclusion of IMAP in the Terms of Reference for the State Government Homelessness Taskforce.

Value add -

Does the project/action overlap, duplicate or enhance

The project aligns with the G3. P2 Affordable Housing Controls and Targets.

other strategies being undertaken elsewhere?

The project also aligns with State Government Homes for Victorians Package in assisting people who are homeless with pathways to affordable housing. The project further aligns with the Resilience Melbourne Program and the City of Melbourne Approach to Homelessness.

Sponsor organisations and potential partners;

Potential partners include organisations associated with the Proposed Framework for Responding Effectively to Homelessness in the City of Melbourne.

Recommendation.

The IMAP Implementation Working Group support the Consistent Approach in the Response to Homelessness Project.
