  • National Capital Authority
    NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY Submission to House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage Sustainable Cities 2025 1. INTRODUCTION The National Capital Authority has prepared this submission in response to the inquiry by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage into issues and policies related to the development of sustainable cities to the year 2025. The Authority has been guided in its response by the Terms of Reference for the Inquiry provided by the Standing Committee: Terms of Reference • The environmental and social impacts of sprawling urban development; • The major determinants of urban settlement patterns and desirable patterns of development for the growth of Australian cities; • A ‘blueprint’ for ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement, with particular reference to eco-efficiency and equity in the provision of services and infrastructure; • Measures to reduce the environmental, social and economic costs of continuing urban expansion; and • Mechanisms for the Commonwealth to bring about urban development reform and promote ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement. The Authority’s submission provides the relevant background information on the Authority's role in planning and development in the ACT, and how the Authority both addresses and influences sustainability in its role to achieve ‘a National Capital which symbolises Australia’s heritage, values and aspirations, is internationally recognised, and which Australian’s are proud’. It sets out the provisions of the National Capital Plan applicable to sustainability and identifies initiatives undertaken by the Authority to create a more sustainable environment. 2. NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY The National Capital Planning Authority was established in 1989 as part of the introduction of self-government in the ACT, with a view to securing the Federal Government’s continuing interest in the planning and development of Canberra as Australia’s National Capital.

    100 Volunteer STORIES www.volunteeringact.org.au © Volunteering ACT Inc 2013. December 2013 Celebrating the contribution of Canberra’s Volunteers Proudly sponsored by Beyond Bank Australia FOREWORD BY MAUREEN CANE Chief Executive Officer of Volunteering ACT Australia’s capital has a proud record for volunteering since it was founded. Services to the swiftly growing population were often first provided by volunteers. Volunteering is now in Canberra’s DNA, with many of her citizens, young and old and from all walks of life, actively volunteering at any one time. This book tells some of their stories — of care for others, of courage, of generosity and of application of skills and expertise. The stories are a testimony to the excellent work of Canberra’s community-based organisations and to the selfless contribution of individuals towards the general good. One such story, of the generous application of expertise, is from Sarah Wilson, the volunteer who compiled this book for Volunteering ACT! All the stories are a fitting legacy for Canberra’s Centenary year and engender a sure and certain confidence that our Maureen Cane, Volunteering ACT CEO future is in good hands. AUSTRALIA’S CAPITAL has a proud record for volunteering since it was founded. Services to the swiftly growing population were often firstprovided by volunteers. FOREWORD BY MARY PORTER Member of the ACT Legislative Assembly and Founder of Volunteering ACT As we all know the ACT has one of the highest rates of volunteering in Australia. When I arrived in the ACT in 1977 I was introduced to the communities training program that was sponsored by the Mental Health arm of the, then, Health Commission and supported by ACTOSS & Lifeline ACT.

  • Re: Canberra Study Tour for Year 6 Students in 2020
    Re: Canberra Study Tour For Year 6 students in 2020 Dear Parents The school is offering students in Year 6 (2020) the opportunity to visit Canberra as part of their educational experience. The trip will cover many curriculum outcomes across the learning areas of Humanities and Social Sciences, Physical Education, Science and The Arts. This unique opportunity for students to visit the Capital of Australia provides them time to experience iconic places like the Australian War Memorial, New Parliament House, High Court of Australia, National Gallery of Australia, various Embassies and the Australian Institute of Sport. The Canberra Study Tour has been scheduled from Sunday 10 May to Thursday 14 May 2020. In order to progress planning for this tour we need to receive your expressions of interest to the school by Thursday 20 June 2019 as air tickets, accommodation and travel arrangements need to be booked well in advance in order to secure the best pricing. The projected cost of the trip without any fundraising will be approximately $1800 per student. This would include flights, accommodation (4 nights), all meals and entry to all venues and attractions. The Federal Government rebate and additional P & C fundraising may reduce the overall cost for parents. The anticipated final cost for parents is approximately $1250. Payment plans can be set up to assist in meeting the cost. This involves setting up a recurring direct deposit into the school bank account. We would like as many students as possible to attend and want to make it easy for families to set up a payment plan if it would be of benefit.

STEP 1 Questions for you to discuss 1 What is this building? 2 Who are the people in the room inside the building? 3 What are they doing? 4 These people are our representatives. What does that mean? 5 Why do we have laws that apply to all people equally in Australia? STEP 2 Imagine you have been asked to write a message that will be put at the front of this building. Here is the start of the message. How will you finish it? “This place is important to all Australians because . “ If you cannot answer any of these questions look at the clues. But do not look at them unless you really have to. When you have worked out the message you need to present that message to the rest of the class. But we do not want you to TELL them what your message is, we want you to SHOW them through a role play! STEP 3 Work out your role play to get your message across to the rest of your class You have created your message. It will be something like: “This place is important to all Australians because it is where the representatives we elect to Parliament meet to pass laws for all Australians.” How can you get this message across in your role play? You need to: 1 Show the rest of your class that this place is Parliament House 2 Show the rest of the class that people are elected to go there as representatives of Australians 3 Show the rest of your class that they make laws there for all Australians.

  • Place Details
    Australian Heritage Database Page 1 of 4 Place Details Send Feedback Parliament House Vista Extension - Portal Buildings, Anzac Pde, Parkes, ACT, Australia Photographs None List Commonwealth Heritage List Class Historic Legal Status Listed place (22/06/2004) Place ID 105474 Place File No 8/01/000/0497 Summary Statement of Significance The Portal Buildings are important for their association with the push to transfer public servants from Melbourne to Canberra in the 1960s under the Liberal Government of Sir Robert Menzies. They are also important for their association with the consultancy of Sir William Holford and the views of the Senate Select Committee, which saw Canberra as a unified city in which background buildings in a monumental style functioned both as symbols of government and Australian unity. In this respect the Portal buildings are an expresssion of the National Capital Development Commission (NCDC) which adopted the views of Holford and the Senate, and interpreted them in terms of the formal composition of Walter Burley Griffin's plan for Canberra, with its cumulative massing, axiality and avenues. (Criterion A.4 and criterion H.1) (Themes: 4.2 Supplying urban services, 5.4 Working in offices, 7.5 Developing administrative structures and authorities) As symbols of government, the monumental Portal Buildings are located on Walter Burley Griffin's land axis, Anzac Parade, and the municipal axis, Consitution Avenue, which defines the northern side of the Parliamentary Triangle area in the heart of Canberra, and frame the Parliamentary vista at its transition from land to lake. The Portal Buildings exhibit a monumental character through strongly modelled structural bays, emphasised by the vertical emphasis of the columns and the use of sandstone cladding to the structural elements of the elevations, and are important elements of Civic Design in the urban setting of Canberra.

Within the labyrinthine corridors of Sasa Sestic’s coffee company Ona, in Canberra’s industrial enclave of Fyshwick, we reverentially take a seat in the main office. In comes someone carrying a tray containing glass jugs of deep brown brew. No words are spoken as Sasa puts his nose to the first jug and inhales deeply. “This”, he announces, “is Blue Copper–one of our experimental lots from Ethiopia.” We sip slowly and find ourselves swirling the suspension over our tastebuds. There are hints of red wine and dark chocolate. Our heavy pottery cups drain and it is time for the second brew—a washed Panama bean that is light with jasmine with a hint of green tea. Who knew coffee could be so complex? Sasa does. His good friend Mick Rose—also in the coffee trade—says Sasa is so deeply connected to coffee, so emotionally invested, so single- minded and obsessive, that one sip of an exceptional roast can bring him to tears. “Oh yeah, I have seen him cry when he drinks it,” says Mick. Sasa has also been known to travel for days to find a particular coffee bush—35 hours in planes, 10 hours of driving followed by several hours on horseback, through thick jungle.
