Former Butter Factory and Managers Residence, Narrogin (1919, 1932, 1941) Two important pieces of our South-West dairy history have been reunited in the State Register highlighting the importance of the Government Heritage Property Disposal Process. The former Butter Factory and Manager’s Residence in Narrogin once played an important role in the expansion of the dairy industry in the years immediately after World War I, when most of WA’s butter factories were established. The Butter Factory operated from 1919 to 1952, and is the only known surviving example of a complex that includes both a factory and a substantial manager’s residence. In 1955, the lot was subdivided and the Butter Factory was sold into private ownership. The fine Art Deco Manager’s Residence, built in 1941, reverted to the Crown and was used by the Department of Housing. In 2010, the Department of Housing anticipated selling the Manager’s Residence and referred it through the Government Heritage Property Disposal Process. The association with the Factory, now a residential home, was rediscovered and the Heritage Council decided that both properties should be assessed together for their heritage value – a move welcomed by the Butter Factory owner. In 2012, the Butter Factory and Manager’s Residence was entered in the Register of Heritage Places. The Butter Factory owner is now considering buying and restoring the Manager’s Residence. 4.4 Development Referrals and Conservation Advice The Heritage Council provides advice to governments and other decision-making authorities on changes or development to State Registered places, prior to works being undertaken. Comments can also be sought in relation to the development of non-registered places but, in this case, the Heritage Council’s comments are not binding. The Heritage Council and the State Heritage Office work together to encourage sensitive development and new compatible uses of heritage places because this is the best way of assuring their future. The Heritage Council has authorised the State Heritage Office to deal with the majority of development proposals under a delegation framework. This year, the State Heritage Office dealt with 88% of development referrals. Major and sensitive developments are dealt with by the Heritage Council or its Development Committee.

Compliance with Public Sector Standards and Ethical Codes Requirement under section 31(1) Public Sector Management Act 1994 The Heritage Council and Heritage Office, together with the wider Department of Local Government, work to the Public Sector Accountability, Integrity and Ethics Framework. Together we ensure compliance with the: WA Public Sector Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct Public Sector Standards in Human Resources Management Part IX of the Equal Opportunity Act 1984 Heritage Office staff are employed under the employing authority of the Department of Local Government and have therefore adopted the Department’s policies and formal guidelines that support the application of: Department’s Code of Conduct Conflict of Interest Policy The Heritage Council has its own Code of Conduct for all members of the Council. Where members may have a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest in items before Council, members must declare that conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest to the Chair and be excused from attendance, where determined, on those particular items. Actions to Ensure Compliance Managers and staff are informed of, and required to comply with, the Public Sector Standards in Human Resource Management. Actions to monitor and ensure compliance with public sector standards include: recruitment Selection and Appointment Standard is followed during any recruitment process an open and competitive process exists for acting and secondment positions an individual performance development process is in place to ensure there are current performance management processes in place for all employees staff are advised of, and encouraged to report to, the Public Information Disclosure (PID)Officer. The following actions have been taken to ensure that all staff are aware of the Code of Ethics, including accountability, ethical decision-making, procurement guidelines and managing potential conflict of interest issues. All staff are made aware of the conduct standards expected within the public sector, the wider Department and specifically the State Heritage Office, during induction. The staff induction program also includes policies, guidelines on conflicts of interest (including declaration of secondary employment), and links to State Supply Commission purchasing guidelines. A checklist signed by all new staff ensures awareness of these compliance requirements. All relevant policies and procedures, as well as hyperlinks to other relevant policies or instructions, are available to all staff via the intranet. Each monthly staff meeting has a standing agenda item to put the spotlight on an element of the legislative framework, compliance instruments and devices and processes for
Retention and Disposal schedule. Induction and Training The agency has a dedicated Records Officer who conducts regular training of staff in their record keeping responsibilities, provides guidance on record keeping practices and standards, maintains standard operating procedures and process documentation, and reports on record keeping at monthly staff forums. The induction program addresses staff roles and responsibilities in regard to compliance with the Record Keeping Plan. In 2012/13, an online record keeping training system was introduced to ensure consistency and compliance in record keeping for both new and existing staff. Results of the compulsory assessment at the end of the training are reviewed to ensure key messages have been understood.
