  • Jobs for the Future in Regional Areas Submission
    1. KEY FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Dubbo, Gilgandra and Narromine economies have performed strongly over recent years, with evidence that parts of the economy are operating at close to full capacity. With a large pipeline of significant infrastructure and construction projects planned for the region and low levels of unemployment, it is expected that some industry sectors will suffer from a shortage of skilled staff over the next few years, unless strategies are put in place to support economic growth. Dubbo Regional Council, Gilgandra Shire Council and Narromine Shire Council along with the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC), have commissioned the Western Research Institute (WRI) to deliver an industry engagement and research project to better understand the extent skills shortages are impacting on local construction, infrastructure, rail and heavy industry sectors in the local economies and what can be done to mitigate these expected skill shortages once the expected major projects have commenced. This report details the findings of WRI’s industry engagement and research activities. This report delivers a capital expenditure and employment project derived from a comprehensive assessment of planned capital projects in the Dubbo, Gilgandra and Narromine region over the next six years. 4 WESTERN RESEARCH INSTITUTE KEY FINDINGS • A review of data relating to employment, skills • Specific skill shortages were found across and the economies of the Dubbo, Gilgandra and the trades listed below. Strong future demand Narromine region illustrate a regional economy was also identified for specific skills, including with strong growth in construction and mining, plant operators, truck drivers, electricians, and low levels of unemployment.

  • Infrastructure Funding Performance Monitor
    UDIA NSW | 2020 Infrastructure Funding Performance Monitor $2.7 billion is currently held as a restricted asset by Councils for the delivery of infrastructure • The current total balance of contributions held across the Greater Sydney megaregion is $2.7 billion, with the average amount held by a Council sitting at $56 million. • Every year new housing contributes almost $900 million to local infrastructure, Executive roads, stormwater, open space and community facilities across the Greater Sydney megaregion through the infrastructure charging framework. It is expected Summary that this infrastructure is built with the funds that are paid. • However, only 64% of the contributions that are paid for were spent in the last three years. Average Total Expenditure Total Income Balance E/I ($’000) ($’000) ($’000) Total 0.64 $650,679 $876,767 $2,653,316 Contributions Under a s7.11 0.85 $564,670 $711,912 $2,330,289 or s7.12 Under a s7.4 0.62 $41,640 $124,180 $259,501 The amount of unspent funding has increased over the past three years • Since FY16 total unspent contributions have increased 33% from $1.98 billion to over $2.65 billion. Executive • In the last year alone unspent contributions increased by 7.8%, or almost $191 million. Summary • Local Government must resolve local issues to ensure that infrastructure is actually provided on the ground. If necessary, the State Government should step-in to support Councils get infrastructure on the ground. Increased funding does not correlate to increased infrastructure delivery • The scatter graphs here show an extremely weak relationship between cash held and expenditure ratios.

  • Communication Licence Rent
    Communication licences Fact sheet Communication licence rent In November 2018, the NSW Premier had the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) undertake a review of Rental arrangements for communication towers on Crown land. In November 2019, IPART released its final report to the NSW Government. To provide certainty to tenure holders while the government considers the report, implementation of any changes to the current fee structure will apply from the next renewal or review on or after 1 July 2021. In the interim, all communication tenures on Crown land will be managed under the 2013 IPART fee schedule, or respective existing licence conditions, adjusted by the consumer price index where applicable. In July 2014, the NSW Government adopted all 23 recommendations of the IPART 2013 report, including a rental fee schedule. Visit www.ipart.nsw.gov.au to see the IPART 2013 report. Density classification and rent calculation The annual rent for communication facilities located on a standard site depends on the type of occupation and the location of the facilities. In line with the IPART 2013 report recommendations, NSW is divided into four density classifications, and these determine the annual rent for each site. Table 1 defines these classifications. Annexure A further details the affected local government areas and urban centres and localities (UCLs) of the classifications. Figure 1 shows the location of the classifications. A primary user of a site who owns and maintains the communication infrastructure will incur the rent figures in Table 2. A co-user of a site will be charged rent of 50% that of a primary user.
