• Deliver upon the relevant elements of Council’s Corporate and Operational Plans;
• Gain agreement on the long-term aspirations and desired outcomes for the Airport;
• Ensure a line of sight from the overall Airport objectives to its day to day operations; and
• Provide a basis for decision making to continuously improve the Airport’s operations and as
such, inform long term capital and operational expenditure plans.
Figure 1 is the Airport’s “Plan on a Page”, which is a diagrammatic representation of the overall
Business Plan. This Figure also shows the key initiatives that are to be pursued over the life of this
plan. An explanation of this vision and the associated objectives and outcomes is provided below:
• The vision and objectives reflect the fact that the Airport is more than a profit-making business
activity – it is important contributor to economic development in the Central Highlands region;
• The Airport also needs to balance providing competitively priced and valued services, with
ensuring it remains financially sustainable into the long-term;
• Furthermore, the airport must operate profitably. These are the principles upon which the
airport’s operations has been set up. It is intended that the airport operates financially
independently of all levels of government;
• A key aspect of the Airport is both its compliance with the various legislative requirements
involved in running an Airport. This requirement features in the vision and objectives; and
• It is also important that the Airport is financially sustainable into the longer term. To this end,
there is an objective focusing on maintaining investment in the facility to ensure the desired
levels of service are maintained. Safety is paramount in the operation of an airport. As such
it is a highly regulated business. These high levels of regulation, in turn lead to high costs of
operation. For example, asset renewal requirements at the airport are likely to be more
demanding than for similar asset categories in other Council settings.
Table 2 outlines the performance measures for each of the objectives within this plan. This suite of
measures forms a “balanced scorecard” for the business’s performance.

Business Activities Council’s Competition and Water Reform Policy defines business
activities as those which trade in goods and services to clients and could
potentially be delivered by a private sector firm for the purposes of
earning profits in the absence of Council’s involvement. This definition
implies that there is a charge for and thus direct revenue from the goods
and services traded by those Business Units.
Business Units Those groups within Council with the lead carriage for each of the
business activities identified above.
Commercial Service The provision of services in a highly transparent and efficient and
Provision effective manner. Such transparency should be achieved through clear
directives from Council and robust financial and non-financial reporting.
A commercial Business Unit can be run either “for profit”, or “not for
profit”. Such outcomes should be defined by Council on a case by case
basis.
Community Service A Community Service Obligation (CSO) arises when Council wants a
Obligation Business Unit to carry out activities that they would not do on a
commercial basis. A CSO should be based on a directive by Council and
provide broader social benefit or community value to the region.
Community Value The broader value a Business Unit might provide to the region that is
beyond any direct commercial benefit that Council may receive from the
Business Units.
Business Model How a business creates value for its customers through its service
offerings, marketing strategies and tactics, pricing, and value proposition
• Deliver upon the relevant elements of Council’s Corporate and Operational Plans;
• Ensure that there is an understanding across Council on the long-term aspirations and desired
outcomes for the Airport;
• Set the service requirements to help inform other key initiatives such as asset management,
financial management, people management and governance;
• Ensure a line of sight from the overall Airport objectives to its day to day operations; and
• Provide a basis for decision making to continuously improve Airport’s operations and as such,
inform long term capital and operational expenditure plans.
Inxure Strategy Group was engaged by Council to develop Strategic Business Plans for three
commercial business units of Council being the Airport, Saleyard and Quarry Operations. The
requirement for the plans was that they:
• A review of documentation was undertaken. During the review it was evident that a number
of studies have been undertaken over time regarding the performance and future of the airport
operations. A list of documents reviewed is provided in Appendix A;
• An inspection of the airport was conducted on 16 May 2019;
• Four days of interviews with various CHRC staff and external stakeholders were conducted;
• A workshop was conducted on 17 May 2019 with CHRC staff and representatives of the three
business units; and
• The plan was developed from the above actions.
This Business Plan has been developed using a generic 3-step process, which is typical for most
strategic planning exercises. That approach is represented by the following diagram:

For CHRC, its overarching vision is realised through a combination of plans including the
Community Plan and Corporate Plan. CHRC’s vision is “to be a progressive region creating
opportunities for all”. Hence the value the Airport delivers must align with that vision. Once the
value is determined (which is a combination of markets, products, services and price), the Operating
Model shapes how the value is delivered upon.
It is important that the Value Model be worked through iteratively – testing the alignment of each of
the facets. If for example CHRC sets goals that are not feasible – then the Airport may be set up to
fail. Therefore, it may be necessary to reconsider the vision and strategy for Airport, based on a
robust analysis of the Business Model and the Operating Model.
This report is structured around the facets of this “Value Model”. The CHRC’s vision and strategy
for the Airport is discussed in section 5 of this report. The Business Model is then addressed in
section 6 and the Operating Model in section 7.
The region is rich in minerals and forms part of the Bowen Basin supporting a globally competitive
coal industry. The region also has the largest sapphire-producing fields in the Southern Hemisphere.
The Central Highlands region has a number of economic advantages which constitute the central
drivers of economic development in the region, including:
▪ Climate and soils highly suited to primary production, particularly beef, grain, cotton, grape
and citrus production;
▪ A major water resource in Fairbairn Dam which permits irrigated crop production and
industrial usage;
▪ Extensive coal reserves in the Bowen Basin;
▪ Significant current levels of development applications (DAs), indicating increased
construction activity in the region in the short to medium term;
▪ A growing tourism market, supported by major natural attractions such as Carnarvon Gorge
and the Sapphire Gemfields; and
▪ A concentration of government facilities, including administration centres, health and
education services; and a sound infrastructure base, including campuses for Central
Queensland University and Central Queensland TAFE, private and government schools,
general and mining related rail networks, a major regional airport and four hospitals.
Central Highland Regional Council (previously Emerald Sire Council) has owned an airport since
1930. The first airport was the old polo ground, with a succession of relocations moving in 1932 to
a site surrounding the High School, moving again in 1948 to a larger site just out of town, to its
current site where it was relocated in 1957. A series of upgrades has seen the lengthening of the
runway in 1998, and the construction of an extended terminal in 2000. A further expansion of the
terminal and associated security baggage handling facilities and apron in was undertaken in 2010,
security screening operations commenced in 2012, and the construction of a new car parking area
was completed in 2013.
The airport supports Regular Public Transport (RPT) services with both QantasLink (DHC-8 400
aircraft) and Virgin (ATR-72 aircraft) providing regular services. Virgin commenced flights in January
2012, which has increased the number and choice of flights for both the business and non-business
sectors. There are also regular air charter services operated by Alliance Airlines to service the
resources sector, General Aviation (GA) privately owned small aircraft, Emergency Response
Services (including Air Ambulance) and the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).
Currently the airport has two runways; the primary 06/24 runway is sealed and classified as a Code
3C instrument non-precision approach runway. It is 1,900m long and 30m wide and can handle
propeller and small jet-engine aircraft up to Fokker F100 (107 seat capacity). The main 06/24 runway

queensland
Aircraft refuelling for GA and RPT aircraft is provided by Shell from compounds located near the
carpark. GA fuel is dispensed using a smartcard system from a 32kl underground tank facility and
RPT aircraft re-fuelling is provided by 10kl mobile tankers from a 116kl underground tank in the Shell
compound. Catering for RPT services is supplied from Brisbane.
Most airfreight is transported using the RPT services with Toll operating a daily service for mail and
small freight. In addition, freight flights in and out of Emerald Airport are operated each weekday by
General Aviation Maintenance (GAM) using a Dornier DO-228-202 aircraft operating from Brisbane
via Biloela/Thangool and back to Brisbane, sometimes via Rockhampton. Freight from Longreach
and Barcaldine is flown to Emerald Airport by a GAM Aero Commander 500-S which is based at
Emerald Airport.
The Boarding lounge has a capacity for 300 passengers and includes:
There are six check-in counters, with three leased to Qantas and three leased on behalf of Virgin Australia and
Air Alliance, and commonly used facilities for baggage handling. Facilities include bathrooms, kiosk, seating
areas and commercial (car rental retail). There is provision for long term parking (245 spaces), short term
parking (260 spaces) and rental parking (106 spaces).
The site is located within the Community Facilities – Air Services Zoning as per the Central Highlands
Regional Council Planning Scheme 2016 and is intended to provide for community related activities
and facilities under public or private ownership. Development in the zone caters primarily for
specified uses, facilities and works which include:
• Land used, owned or operated by Federal, State or local government, or Government owned
corporations for purposes such as air services, cemeteries, community uses, educational
establishments, emergency services, public hospitals, utility installations, substations and
transport networks;
• Uses, facilities and works which by virtue of their location, intensity, combination of uses,
operations or site characteristics are best managed in a use-specific land use allocation; or
• Private community services and facilities including educational establishments, places of
worship, private hospitals and community uses.
The surrounding land is zoned rural, with the exception of land that is zoned rural residential to the
north-west.
CHRC also manages a series of Aeroplane Landing Areas (ALAs) that are suitable for light aircraft
landings. These are located at Capella, Dingo, Duaringa, Rolleston and Springsure. These areas
are not considered to be part of the commercial airport business unit and it receives a Community
Service Obligation transfer to fund their operations.
4.4 Commercial
The Emerald Airport is wholly owned by Central Highlands Regional Council, with Council delegating
the financial and day-to-day responsibility for operation of the Airport to the Department of Customer
and Commercial Services. The airport operates 7 days a week, 52 weeks per year.
Central Highlands Regional Council and the former Emerald Shire Council has held an Aerodrome
License continually since 1930. In 1958, the Commonwealth Government introduced provisions that
recognized airports that served local needs, allowing Emerald Airport to be admitted to the ALOP
(Airport Local Ownership Plan) as a “Reimbursed Aerodrome”. Emerald Shire Council withdrew
• Providing a forum for engagement, consultation and communication with airport users
including the local business sector and the community;
• Developing an understanding of the legislative framework airports operate under and
incorporate into all matters considered;
• Contributing to future planning considerations; and
• Contributing recommendations for airport sustainability through economic development,
tourism and other commercial activities including surrounding airport land and airside areas.
The airport also has a Safety Committee, Security Committee and other user committees.

Master planning studies for the airport indicates a passenger mix of 75% business passengers (with
45% being FIFO) and the remaining 25% being discretionary passengers (of which 2% is travel
associated with holidays).
Should the annual passenger movement at the airport reach a threshold of 350,000 annual
passenger movements, a resident firefighting service may be required. At this threshold point, Air
Services Australia will also conduct an evaluation into traffic control capacity.

The Value Model sees the purpose (or vision and strategy) being made up of:
The Central Highlands 2022 Community Plan is a region-wide plan with outcomes and goals
forming the basis of a long term ‘road map’ setting out the steps for the community to achieve its
vision. The Community Plan involved extensive community consultation and sets out the priorities
for each of the region’s 13 individual communities.
This Business Plan fits within the “Management Plan” and “Annual Operating Plan” levels of
Council’s overall Strategic Planning Framework (as shown in Section 5.2). That is, the Airport
Business Plan is guided by the Community Plan, the Corporate Plan and Council’s Management
Plans. The Business Plan in turn informs the Annual Operational Plan, Budgets and Staff
Performance Plans.
The value provided by the Emerald airport can be aligned to Council’s Strategic Priorities as follows:
• To provide the finest airport experience for members of the Central Highlands community;
• To provide a modern terminal building with a commitment to quality customer service;
• To provide a safe, competitive, low-cost airport for the Central Highlands community;
• To effectively market and promote the region and airport to attract passengers;
• To be a contributor to economic development for the Central Highlands community;
• To maximise landside development opportunities;
• To continually review passenger demand projections, with reference to forecast resources
sector activity cycles;
• To make sound investment decisions reflecting the anticipated long-term utilisation of the
Airport;
• To ensure that strategies are developed and implemented to continually improve the efficiency
of the Airport; and
• To review the charging structure annually to ensure that the Airport has sufficient financial
capacity to meet customer needs and remain financially sustainable through the long term.
The vision and objectives for the current business plan are set out in Figure 8 - The 2019 - 2022
Airport Vision and Objectives”. These have been based on the analysis of the Airport’s links to
Council’s Corporate Plan, the public value it offers, and consideration of the objectives outlined in
the Airport’s 2015 Business Plan.

As with other airports, Emerald Airport’s assets may be identified within three categories:
• Air side - runways, taxiways, sealed and unsealed aprons, markings, lighting, hangars,
fences, sheds and workshops;
• Terminal side - the terminal building, baggage handling systems, communications and
telephony, furniture and fittings and other equipment; and
• Land side - carparks, roads, power supply, fleet and plant.
Overall, air freight comprises only 0.01% market share of all domestic freight4. As such it is seen
as a small, niche market, but often carrying high value products. Target customers cover a large
spectrum of potential users including:
• Local residents.
• Tourists and visitors.
• FIFO workforces (varies, but around 45% of current passengers).
• Business representatives, contractors, etc.
• Freight companies.
• Recreational aviation enthusiasts.
• Light industry.
Airside products are based on the two runways connected by taxiways, aprons and other
supporting infrastructure. The larger 06/24 runway has capacity to accommodate up to Code 3C
(ATR-72, F1) and Code 3D (DHC-8 400) aircraft. (As of 2017) there are 39 departures per week
comprising 27 Qantas departures and 12 Virgin departures (including one overnighting aircraft for
Tuesday/ Wednesday. Departures are timed for even distribution throughout the day.
The Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics (BITRE) provides economic
analysis, research and statistics on infrastructure, transport and regional development issues to
inform Australian Government policy development and wider community understanding. Their
statistics show that for the 17/18 financial year, there were some 3,712 inbound and outbound
aircraft movements from Emerald.
The terminal building was originally constructed in 1981, upgraded in 2000 and again in 2011 to
cater for increased demand. It has a total floor area of approximately 1,500m2 and includes airline
check-in counters, checked-bag screening, baggage make-up areas, baggage reclaim areas, the
Flight Path Kiosk, Qantas lounge, vending machines and car hire service desks.
There are 260 short term and 245 long term carparks together with 106 parks for rental cars.
Other landside products include a rented office, billboards and advertising rights.
Several opportunities for product growth have been identified across airport operations. These
include:
As of 2019, an airport master planning exercise is being advanced to provide a blueprint for future
opportunities in further enhancing and developing airside, terminal and landside assets. This is
the appropriate planning instrument for assessing the viability of and advancing these
opportunities.
6.3 Price
CHRC’s Register of Commercial and cost Recovery Fees, as updated and approved by Council
each year, sets out the fees and charges applicable to airport activities. Fees are categorized as:
• Passenger head tax - paid per passenger for embarking and disembarking on both
passenger and charter flights Landing fees for register operators;
• Security charges including passenger screening;
• Aircraft parking;
• Use of aircraft hangars- both itinerant and long term;
• Annual landing fees;
• Ground space rentals;
• Parking- short and long term, rental cars; and
• Miscellaneous charges (refuse and cleaning, advertising, events, airside escorts).
In 2019, the airport had operating revenue of around $7.7m. Of this around 80% of revenue is
from RPT carriers, with the remaining revenue is attributable to car parking, rents and other aero
and non-aero sources.
A key strategic competitive advantage is its strategic location as the only publicly accessible high
capacity airport in the Central Highlands region with a significant catchment area with forecast
future developments. Located centrally within the Bowen coal basin, mining activity is a key driver
of airport usage. Further development of resource projects in both the Bowen and Galilee basins
may provide opportunity for the airport to service additional sites. The Queensland Government
has identified a number of ‘coordinated projects’ near Emerald that are projects of economic,
social or environmental significance to Queensland that are approved or under review5. Projects
include:
Growth (or decline) in customers will be significantly impacted by the presence of these resource
sector projects.
The CHRC region has some 1.37 million head of cattle (or 5.5% of the national herd), making it
the third largest cattle producing area in Australia. The region also has the highest density
stocking rate in Australia and agribusinesses are a key value and employment driver in the region.
Forty per cent of registered firms in the region are agribusinesses. Taking account of the strong

• Solar and green energy industry with two solar farms under development and a further
eight proposed across the region;
• A growing tourism market worth more than $230 million, featuring pristine natural
attractions of sandstone wilderness across 749,000ha of world-class natural parks and the
largest Gemfields in the Southern Hemisphere; and
• Major health and education services including both private and public primary and
secondary schooling, hospitals, Emerald Medical Village and a CQ University campus.
6.4.2 Competitors
The nearest airport with commercial services is Moranbah, 224km to the north, which is operated
by BHP Billiton Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA). Moranbah predominantly services the BMA coal mines
in the area. BMA also operated an airport at Blackwater (77km to the east), until it ceased
operations in 2010.
Clermont, Dysart, and Middlemount airports are all within two hours’ drive of Emerald but do not
have commercial flights operating. Larger airports are located in the larger coastal centres of
Rockhampton (270k), Gladstone (370km), and Mackay (392km), however the driving distance
from these centres is seen to limit their use by FIFO workers in the Central Highlands region.
Note: Rockhampton also services the defence industry and transport of military goods
It is also noted that, in terms of operating numbers, Mt Isa is closest to Emerald with a pax of 193k
in 2018. More recently, Proserpine airport has been identified as a potential competitor as it has
direct flights to southern capitals and mine workers that would normally fall within the Emerald
airport catchment are being shuttled workers to and from the airport. It is understood that the
attraction of Proserpine is the availability of low-cost flights (including Tiger Air), and the ability to
access major southern capital cities more directly.
The construction of airstrips by any new mines may represent a threat to the growth trend at
Emerald, as the transport costs and the additional time for travel at the beginning and end of a
shift impacts on productivity at the mines.
• Positive people skills, training, attitude and work ethic of Airport staff;
• High quality administrative systems in place that provide efficient and timely service to all
customers;
• Airport facilities are provided and maintained to a standard that delivers optimal and safe
aeronautical services; and
• Effective pricing strategy that focuses on adequate funding for the facility.
7.1 Overview
This section of the report focusses on the Operating Model for the Airport and examines how
value is delivered. This section specifically considers the people capability, processes and
systems necessary to deliver upon the desired vision and objectives for the Airport, and to support
its business model (discussed in the previous section).

When considering the operating model, it is important to note that the Airport is grouped with other
commercial business units within the Customer and Commercial Services division of Council
(including the Airport, Saleyard and Quarry operations). This allows Council to achieve synergies
in the operation of these business units. As a result, a number of initiatives identified in this
section of the Plan can be progressed co-operatively with the other business units.
Furthermore, the 3 business units receive a range of corporate services from other divisions of
council including, Council wide financial management, asset management, HR services, IT
services and capital delivery services.
The following table summarises the Airport’s key risks, along with their respective mitigations.
This risk assessment has been adapted from the 2015 Business Plan and it remains relevant.
These risks are also considered in the following analysis of the Operating Model.
Service planning is about ensuring the Airport can continue to achieve the desired levels of
service expected of it – along with planning for any improvements in such service. For the Airport,
significant Master Planning has been undertaken, which is focussed at maximising the economic
value of the airport and its associated land assets.
Although the terminal has been recently upgraded, the design is not optimal, requiring arriving
passengers to check in and then walk outside the terminal and back in for security screening. A
key issue is the introduction of Australian government requirements that full body scanning
machines be installed into regional airports by December 2020. This will require architectural
modifications, as well as requiring extra staff and additional training. Currently airport
management are focussing on how the terminal infrastructure can be redesigned to implement
this requirement. Other issues raised in relation to the current layout include:
The airport infrastructure has some limitations imposed upon it due to runway, taxiway and apron
capacity, as well as terminal size and baggage carousel and conveyer limitations. Also, the
current traffic directions require all refuelling tankers for commercial aircraft to drive immediately
adjacent to the terminal up to 20 times per day which is considered a risk. Even so, there is
currently adequate infrastructure in place to handle and support additional aircraft.
It will be important to both further optimize the Airport AMP and develop an appropriate long-term
renewals plan. Depreciation makes up a large proportion of the Airport’s cost base. Management
needs to be satisfied that this figure is as robust as possible and is thus informing sound
management decisions. One of the concerns is that the assumed asset lives in the AMPs do not
match the regulatory requirements in terms of asset renewal and replacement. It has been
identified by the Manager Airport that more work is required in this regard.
Linked to the optimization of depreciation, is the need to have in place a robust renewals plan for
the facility. The goal of this plan is to maintain the service potential of the facility and it ideally
should have a 20-year outlook. If both the depreciation figure and the renewals plan are robust,
then there should be a broad matching between the two.
To this end, the Queensland Government legislates for Councils to measure the renewals capital
expenditure as a percentage of the depreciation expense (referred to as the Asset Sustainability
Ratio). This is an approximation of the extent to which infrastructure assets are being renewed
to maintain their intended service potential. The Queensland Audit Office (QAO) then reports
annually on this metric for all Councils. They will report a red for fail if the renewals expenditure
is well short of the depreciation figure (the target is 90%). This highlights the importance of both
figures being as robust as possible, otherwise:
• If the renewal expenditure is below what it should be (due to the absence of a renewals
plan), then it indicates that the service potential of the asset is being run down. It may also
The Manager Airport advises that this is incompatible with the operations of an airport.
Optimising the AMPs and developing a long-term renewals plan for the facility are important
actions for this business plan. Specific considerations for optimizing the depreciation allowance
are addressed in section 7.5 below.
Earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA) Operating revenue, less operating
expense
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) EBITDA less depreciation
Earnings before tax (EBT) EBIT less finance costs
Net profit after tax (NPAT) EBT less tax equivalent
Also, to make more informed commercial decisions there should be a balance sheet and cash
flow statement for the Airport. The balance sheet would provide important information in relation
to the capital structure (debt and equity) and enable linkages to be made to the income statement
(i.e. depreciation and finance costs), as well as to retained earnings and reserves. The cash flow
statement provides critical information regarding the inflows and outflows of cash, along with and
understanding of the business unit’s solvency.
The actual plans are held and maintained by the Commercial Analyst. Outputs from these plans
are provided in Appendix D of this document. It should be noted that the plans are living
documents and the inputs are to be refined over the life of this Business Plan.
Policy Description
Competition and Water
• Identifies the commercial business units within Council to
Reform Policy
which this policy applies;
• This includes the Airport; and
• Identifies the full cost pricing elements that must be applied to
these business units, which includes tax equivalents.
Reserves Policy
• Relates to the creation and maintenance of reserves to enable
sound and prudent financial management of Council and its
various business activities;
• Reserves can cover untied infrastructure contributions not
used in a given year and the accumulation of depreciation
funding for infrastructure assets.
• Clearly defining the commercial expectations Council has of the business unit;
• Clearly defining what costs the business unit should be accounting for and ensuring there
is a robust basis those costs (e.g. corporate overheads);
• Ensuring the business is able to properly account for the cost of maintaining the service
potential of its assets (depreciation);
• Ensuring there is financial capacity for the business to maintain the service potential of its
assets (either through retained earnings or the capacity to borrow the necessary funds);
and
• Clearly defining what funds can be taken by Council at year-end without compromising the
business unit’s financial sustainability (e.g. a tax equivalent payment and a sustainable
dividend policy).
When reviewing the current suite of commercial policies against these requirements:
• Council has not clearly defined its commercial expectations for the Airport. This is
addressed in this Business Plan;
• Council does clearly define in its Competition Policy the costs the business units should be
accounting for. However, this is not being fully applied, particularly with respect to tax
equivalent payments and a return on capital;
• Council does not have a robust method for determining corporate overheads;
• Council does clearly define how to account for the cost of maintaining the service potential
of its assets, but this policy is not correctly applied. This is discussed in further detail in
section 7.5.3 above;
• Council’s Reserves Policy does allow for retained earnings to fund depreciation at the
Airport, but this is not applied. It is noted that the current Policy gives the GM of Corporate
Services the discretion whether or not to set aside reserves for depreciation; and
• No existing policy defines what funds can be taken from the business units at the year-end.
• Council reviews the application of its Commercial Policies to enable its various business
units to be financially sustainable, by addressing the issues listed above; and
• The Competition and Water Reform Policy be amended to define what funds can be taken
from the business units at the year-end.
It is recommended that the Airport, along with the other business units within the Customer and
Commercial Services division, provide separate year-end reports to Council on their financial and
non-financial performance for that year. As part of that year-end reporting, the business units
should recommend to Council (in accordance with relevant policies), what funds should be
retained to cover depreciation and what funds can be taken from the business unit without
compromising its financial sustainability.
Should Council elect to adopt a different position to that recommended, their reasoning would
then be clearly and transparently spelt out. This should then help inform a different course of
action for the business unit to help maintain its financial sustainability.
The Manager Airport is responsible for the Airport operations and management of the site. This
position is responsible for Airport operations. The organisation structure for the airport is provided

Contractors are engaged to operate and maintain plant and equipment as required. One of the
most significant staffing requirements is that of airport security and screening, which is supplied
on a contract basis.
The Airport receives a range of Corporate Services from Council to support its operations,
including corporate finance, corporate Asset Management, IT services, HR and safety services,
and capital delivery services via the newly established PMO with the Infrastructure and Utilities
division of Council. The need to improve the transparency of both the costs and standard of
corporate services has been identified during the development of this Business Plan. This could
be done by putting in place simple Service Level Agreements, or other mechanisms as seen fit.
An option used successfully in other jurisdictions, is the “business partner” model where personnel
from the Corporate Service providers embed themselves within the business units and develop
an intimate understanding of their requirements. It is also recommended that corporate
overheads be reviewed as they are a material input to the Airport’s cost base.
It is noted that this Business Plan is being developed in conjunction with similar plans for the
Quarry and Saleyard. Council has requested a review into the structure of Council’s commercial
businesses. A separate report and body of work has been undertaken to provide
recommendations to Council to ensure commercial businesses are operated and managed in an
efficient and effective structure. Outcomes from this review have not been considered by Council
at the time of preparation of the business plans and therefore not included in this business
plan. However, it is noted that the review has indicated that a more concerted focus also on
service and asset planning and compliance and management systems would provide benefit to
the business. The table below expands on this holistic approach to the businesses and the
relationship between the roles within Commercial Services and the Corporate Service providers.
Loss of key personnel is identified as a key risk for the Quarry. It is proposed that a Talent
Management Plan be developed for the Commercial Services business units (including the
Quarry), which could include:
• Identifying key roles for the business units and ensuring there are successors for those
roles;
• Seeking external mentors for key personnel to help build commercial acumen;
• Planning the exit of employees reaching retirement age. This could include using them to
actively coach and mentor younger staff members; and
• Organising secondments across Council and with other organisations to broaden the
experience of key staff members.
The Emerald Airport is a Certified Airport under CASA regulations and there is conduct of security
protection scanning by the Office of Transport Security. The CASA requirements, among others,
include:
Standards are defined by a Manual of Standards (MOS) with specifications (standards) prescribed
by CASA, for uniform application, determined to be necessary for the safety of air navigation.
• Provide a forum for engagement, consultation and communication with airport users
including the local business sector and the community;
• Develop an understanding of the legislative framework airports operate under and
incorporate into all matters considered;
• Contribute to future planning considerations;
• Contribute recommendations for airport sustainability through economic development,
tourism and other commercial activities including surrounding airport land and airside areas
In addition to the Advisory Committee, the Airport has a range of other stakeholder committees
including:
• A User’s Committee;
• A Security Committee;
• An Emergency Committee and
• A Safety Committee.
It will be important for Council to ensure that these arrangements are serving it well into the future.
To this end, it is recommended that Council biannually review the effectiveness of these
stakeholder engagement arrangements.
The following table sets out the proposed performance measures for the Airport. These are
mapped back against the objectives for the Airport. They represent a succinct list of measures
that appropriately reflect the financial and non-financial performance of the Airport over the 3-year
life of this plan. It is important not to overwhelm the business unit with measures.
The measures reflect the outcomes the business unit is working to. These measures are to be
cascaded through to individual performance plans and would pick up the important inputs to
achieving these outcomes (for example, carrying out safety training or conducting periodic safety
audits of the facilities). Collectively the measures will provide a basis for a “balanced scorecard”
on performance across the three objectives for the Airport.

To execute this Business Plan, the Manager Airport will prepare annual budgets which shall be
derived from information within this Plan, along with any emerging issues that may arise over the life
of the Plan. Furthermore, the Manager Airport will report on their progress against the key initiatives
in the Business Plan.
This Business Plan has a 3-year outlook and will be reviewed at least every 3 years or when there
is a major change in the assumptions underpinning this Plan.
