  • Application for Authorisation No
    Draft Determination Application for Authorisation Lodged by Botany City Council, Canterbury City Council, Hurstville City Council, Kogarah Council, Marrickville Council, Randwick City Council, Rockdale City Council, Sutherland Shire Council, Waverley Council and Woollahra Council, under the auspice of SSROC In respect of joint tendering and contracting for the services of contractors to provide residual waste transfer, processing and disposal services to respective local government areas. Date: 2 March 2005 Commissioners: Samuel Sylvan Authorisation no. A90926 King Smith Public Register no. C2004/989 Willett Executive Summary The application On 7 July 2004, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) received an application for authorisation (A90926) from Botany City Council, Canterbury City Council, Kogarah Council, Marrickville Council, Randwick City Council, Rockdale City Council, Sutherland Shire Council, Waverley Council and Woollahra Council under the auspice of the Southern Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (SSROC). On 2 August 2004, the ACCC received an amended application to include Hurstville City Council as an applicant for authorisation of the proposed arrangements. The authorisation process A key objective of the Trade Practices Act 1974 (the Act) is to prevent anti-competitive arrangements or conduct, thereby encouraging competition and efficiency in business, resulting in greater choice for consumers in price, quality and service. The Act, however, allows the ACCC to grant immunity from legal action for anti- competitive conduct in certain circumstances. One way in which parties may obtain immunity is to apply to the ACCC for what is known as an ‘authorisation’. Broadly, the ACCC may ‘authorise’ businesses to engage in anti-competitive arrangements or conduct where it is satisfied that the public benefit from the arrangements or conduct outweighs any public detriment.

  • 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.

There is growing recognition both in Australia and internationally that engaging the community in both plan making and development assessment processes results in better planning outcomes. That is why one of the key principles of planFIRST – the biggest reforms to the NSW planning system in more than two decades – is greater community engagement in the planning and development system.

    Report Cover Page ACERA Project 0605 Title Statistical Methods for Biosecurity Monitoring and Surveillance Author(s) / Address (es) David Fox, University of Melbourne Material Type and Status (Internal draft, Final Technical or Project report, Manuscript, Manual, Software) Final Report Summary This report investigates the applicability of traditional methods of analysing surveillance data to biosecurity risks, and explores some more recent innovations designed to detect subtle trends and anomalous behaviour in data over space and time. In particular, it examines control charting and syndromic surveillance methods, and explores how useful they are likely to be in dealing with typical biosecurity disease and pest surveillance. If focuses on disease detection, and methods for optimising surveillance networks and robust methods for minimising levels of inspection. This work provides a proof of concept of these approaches. The case studies, while based on real contexts, are intended only to be illustrative. If the tools are considered to be potentially useful, the next stage would involve development of specific applications to trial their utility.
