  • Changes to Driver Licence Sanctions in Your CLSD Region
    Changes to Driver Licence Sanctions in Your CLSD Region In 2020, Revenue NSW introduced a hardship program focused on First Nations people and young people. As a result, the use of driver licence sanctions for overdue fine debt changed on Monday 28th September 2020 in some locations. How are overdue fines and driver licence sanctions related? If a person has overdue fines, their driver licence may be suspended. The driver licence suspension may be removed if the person: • pays a lump sum to Revenue NSW, or • enters a payment plan with Revenue NSW, or • is approved for a WDO. A driver licence suspension can be applied for multiple reasons, so even after being told that a driver licence suspension for unpaid fines has been removed, people should always double check that it is OK to drive by contacting Service NSW. Driver licence restrictions can also be put on interstate licences and cannot be removed easily. If you have a client in this situation, they should get legal advice. What has changed? Now, driver licence sanctions will not be imposed as a first response to unpaid fines for enforcement orders that were issued on or after 28 September 2020 to First Nations people and young people who live in the target locations. What are the target locations? Locations that the Australian Bureau of Statistics classifies as: • very remote, • remote • outer regional, and • Inner regional post codes where at least 9% of the population are First Nations People. Included target locations on the South Coast are the towns of Batemans Bay, Bega, Bodalla, Eden, Eurobodalla, Mogo, Narooma, Nowra Hill, Nowra Naval PO, Merimbula, Pambula, Tilba and Wallaga Lake.

The Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP Premier Parliament House SYDNEY NSW 2000 Dear Premier, Report – NSW Bushfire Inquiry In January 2020 you announced the establishment of the NSW Bushfire Inquiry, noting it was to be completed by 31 July 2020. We now submit the final report of that Inquiry. The 2019-20 bush fires were some of the worst in the world and in recorded history. The Inquiry has worked to understand what happened during the 2019-20 bush fire season and how it was different to seasons that have come before. It makes 76 recommendations for future improvements to how NSW plans and prepares for, and responds to, bush fires. Some of these recommendations are for immediate action; others for actions that need to start now but will take some time to complete. Noting the breadth of the Inquiry’s Terms of Reference, the recommendations range from improvements to operational systems and processes through to significant research and strategic policy frameworks that require further development and consultation with key stakeholders. In presenting this final report we wish to acknowledge the assistance of many people – those who took the time to write submissions or talk to the Inquiry; the NSW fire agencies; colleagues from government departments in NSW and other jurisdictions; colleagues in industry, research organisations, and professional associations; and the Secretariat and Advisors to the Inquiry drawn from several government departments who worked hard to help us make sense of a complex matter.

  • Buckenbowra Pre Logging Jan 08 Buckenbowra Logged March 09
    UPDATE ON LOGGING ACTIVITIES IN SOUTH COAST/SOUTHERN REGION MARCH 2009 Buckenbowra pre logging Jan 08 Buckenbowra logged March 09 The Southern Region runs from Nowra down to Cobargo and out to the Great Dividing Range. The unprotected State Forest areas total 200,000+ hectares. From the March IFOA report we see that there are currently 15 different compartments being logged in the area, totalling 3071 hectares. • Just south of Nowra, and very close to the coast, in the Jervis Bay Catchment, compartment 1040 of Currambene SF is being logged, we suspect that most of the wood goes to the big firewood yard near Tomerong, but a fair proportion would also be heading down to the Eden chip mill. • In the Clyde River Catchment four compartments are active: South Brooman 55 & 61, Currowan 222,and Yadboro 445. • In the Tomaga River Catchment compartment 186 of Mogo SF is undergoing the AGS treatment. AGS means ‘Australian Group Selection’ in stumpy-speak; but to a normal bush observer it means mini clear fells dotted through the compartment. This style of logging is quite new to the coastal zone but we expect it will become the norm as supplies for the chipper dwindle. • Wandera 586 has been active since 7may08, part of the ongoing logging of the eastern area of this SF in the Deua River Catchment area. Once done there we expect they will head out to the western side of Wandera into more contentious territory. • In the Tuross River Catchment there are four logging operations active: compartments 3020 and 3067 of Bodalla SF.
