Introduction The NSW Government is seeking to improve the experience of recreational boating across NSW through the development of Regional Boating Plans. These plans will identify the priority projects and actions over the coming years in order to keep our waterways safe, improve accessibility and enhance the overall boating experience. The Regional Boating Plans are being developed by the Maritime Management Centre (MMC) in Transport for NSW, working closely with Roads and Maritime Services (Roads and Maritime) and consultants with expertise in coastal infrastructure. The plans will be used to inform projects to be funded out of a new boating infrastructure partnership program. The new program will replace the successful Better Boating Program and will see more funding available for boating facilities across NSW with a stronger focus on delivering projects that will provide the greatest strategic benefit to each region. The State’s major waterways have been grouped according to geography and waterway management to form eleven distinct regions as shown in Figure 1. A Regional Boating Plan will be developed for each of these regions. Figure 1 – Map of regions Each Regional Boating Plan is being developed through a two-stage process involving the development of a Consultation Draft and then a final plan for each region. This Consultation Draft has been informed by the feedback received through an initial consultation program 4 | Transport for NSW - Regional Boating Plan including engagement with local Councils and boating stakeholder groups as well as an online survey process open to all waterway users. The project team has also undertaken site visits of infrastructure in each region including on- water inspections with local Roads and Maritime Boating Safety Officers (BSOs). Following release of this Consultation Draft, the project team will return to each region to discuss the key findings and proposed priority projects with Councils. The project team will also seek further community views on the Consultation Draft through a public information session. Submissions on the Consultation Draft can be made via email to [email protected] by 7 September 2014 Transport for NSW - Regional Boating Plan | 5 2. Physical character of the waterways 2.1 Background This region covers Sydney Harbour and its tributaries which is an extremely popular waterway for a wide range of recreational boating activities in addition to many passive boating activities such as rowing, kayaking, cannoning and dragon boat racing. Sydney Harbour also supports various commercial vessel operations such as commercial fishing vessels, an extensive

  • City of Canada Bay Dramatically Improves Their Communications Capability with Microsoft Skype for Business and Enghouse Interactive Communications Centre
    City of Canada Bay Dramatically improves their communications capability with Microsoft Skype for Business and Enghouse Interactive Communications Centre City of Canada Bay is a council located in the suburbs of Sydney, Australia. In late 2015 the Council chose to deploy Enghouse Interactive Communications Centre and TouchPoint, integrated with Microsoft Skype for Business, as their customer service communications infrastructure across the entire Council. As a result, the Council dramatically improved their communications capability, and put in place a solution that will service them for at least the next ten years. Background City of Canada Bay is a Council within the Sydney metropolitan area, serving over 75,000 residents. Their legacy customer service communications solution had been in place for over nine years and had reached the end of its life-cycle. City of Canada Bay’s Information Systems and Customer Services teams decided to roll out a total solution across the entire Council, from top to bottom, to ensure all staff in the business benefited from the new communications infrastructure. In the contact centre, the customer services agents were only able to manage calls and could not service channels like webchat, which Canada Bay residents wanted to use to communicate with the Council’s contact centre. Also, the reporting functionality did not allow the managers in the Customer Services department to have any oversight on agents, and therefore were not able to identify where service improvements were needed. Council had explored the option of upgrading the legacy solution, but it was simply not an option. A full upgrade would still not provide all the capabilities and functionality that was needed, and even then, it would still not be a cutting edge solution, future- proofed to meet the Council’s needs in the years ahead.

  • Final Submission on Exhibition of Carter St Urban Activation Precinct
    Submission on Carter St Urban Activation Precinct Auburn City Council SUBMISSION PUBLIC EXHIBITION CARTER ST URBAN ACTIVATION PRECINCT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Council appreciates the opportunity to comment on the exhibition of the proposed Carter Street Urban Activation Precinct (UAP). It is acknowledged that this exhibition follows a number of meetings with a Council working group, at which various issues were discussed. Some of the key issues in this submission have previously been raised by Council. In other cases, the exhibition gives Council the opportunity to view a number of more detailed reports for the first time, so many of the detailed comments have not previously been raised through the working group. Council supports a number of key aspects of the proposal. The inclusion of a primary school, community facilities and a new local centre to provide for the new residential area is supported. The retention of employment lands adjoining the M4 Motorway is also supported, as it recognises the role this land can continue to play, not only in providing jobs, but also in contributing to the productivity of this LGA. However, the planning for the Carter Street UAP needs to address the very low level of infrastructure available to support the local communities north of Parramatta Road within Auburn LGA. More information is also required to enable the development of a contributions plan. This will also require the involvement of SOPA. Council requests that the proposed 578m 2 community facility be increased to 1,000m 2 to meet the needs of the Carter Street community. The proposed increase in size is based on best practice and a dwelling occupancy rate that recognises the high average household size in Auburn LGA.

  • The Great Property Crime Drop: a Regional Analysis
    NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research Bureau Brief Issue paper no. 88 July 2013 The Great Property Crime Drop: A regional analysis Don Weatherburn and Jessie Holmes Aim: To describe and discuss regional variation between parts of NSW in the rate at which theft and robbery offences have fallen. Method: Percentage changes in rates of offending in robbery and various categories of theft were calculated for the period 2000 to 2012. Changes in the extent to which rates of crime across areas have become more similar were quantified by comparing the standard deviation in crime rates across areas in 2000 to the standard deviation in crime rates in 2012. Product moment calculations were used to measure (a) the extent to which areas with high crime rates in 2000 also had high crime rates in 2012 and (b) the extent to which areas with the highest crime rates in 2000 had the largest falls in crime in 2012. Results: The fall in property crime and robbery across NSW between 2000 and 2012 has been very uneven; being much larger in Sydney and other urban areas than in rural areas. The fall in theft offence rates ranges from 62 per cent in the Sydney Statistical Division (SD) to 5.9 per cent in the Northern SD. Similarly, the fall in robbery rates ranges from 70.8 per cent in the Sydney SD to 21.9 per cent in the Northern SD. In some areas some offences actually increased. The Murray, Northern, Murrumbidgee, North Western, Hunter and Central West SDs, for example, all experienced an increase in steal from a retail store.

Together we are working to revitalise the Parramatta River and make it a safe and enjoyable place to recreate and swim. In October 2018, we launched DUBA, BUDU, BARRA: Ten Steps to a Living River - The Parramatta River Masterplan. This Masterplan details the steps required to make the Parramatta River swimmable again by 2025. The PRCG thank you for the opportunity to provide comment on the Carter Street Masterplan. The State Government recognises the importance of healthier waterways through its vision for Sydney, ‘Our Sydney 2056’ and the Central District Plan, the draft Coastal Management Program scoping study for Sydney Harbour, and the Marine Estate Management Strategy. All of these outline the vision for a central river city with healthy clean waterways. The PRCG strongly advocate for a future environmentally sensitive, greener urban form and water sensitive open space and parklands. We welcome collaboration and sharing of the detailed work that the Parramatta River Catchment Group have done to date on the implementation of the Parramatta River Masterplan, and in particular the work on planning and policy reform for improvement in the urban environment and the benefits of blue-green infrastructure.

    “Boatsheds all Introduction Berrys Bay takes its name from Alexander Berry, around” business partner and brother-in-law of early land grantee Edward Wollstonecraft. The whole of A walking tour of eastern Berrys present day suburbs Wollstonecraft and Bay Waverton were part of the large Wollstonecraft land grant (524 acres). Edward Wollstonecraft Distance: 3 km and Alexander Berry were business partners Approximate time: 3 hours who settled on this side of the harbour and built Grading: medium to high Crows Nest Cottage - from which the suburb of Crows Nest takes its name. The Berry/Wollstonecraft partnership also received land on the South Coast at the Shoalhaven River. Alexander Berry was married to Elizabeth Wollstonecraft (Edward's sister) and after Edward's early death in 1832, the partnership was shared by Alexander and Elizabeth. Elizabeth died in 1845 and their impressive pyramid shaped tomb stands as a memorial to her in St Thomas' Rest Park. Upon Alexander Berry's death in 1872 the land at Coolangatta (on the Shoalhaven) and in North Sydney passed to David Berry - the town of Berry bears his name. This walk takes in the western half of McMahons Point fronting Berrys Bay and opposite Balls Head. In 1817 Governor Macquarie gave a grant of 80-acres of land on the North Shore to ex- convict William Blue and he named this area, encompassing the present day suburb of McMahons Point, „Northampton Farm‟. This was a working farm on which he and his family cultivated vegetables and fruit for the Sydney market. Prior to receiving his land grant he was living in the Rocks and had started the first ferry service across the Harbour from Dawes Point to Blues Point in 1807.
