'The Council marks the beginning of the Federal Government building a stronger relationship with local government and local communities across Australia," he said. Cr Bell made his comments as part of a joint press conference with the Prime Minister and the Minister for Infrastructure and Local Government, Anthony Albanese, at Parliament House yesterday. The Prime Minister and Minister Albanese jointly announced that the Federal Government would convene the first meeting of the new Council in November in Canberra and would also invite all mayors and shire presidents to attend. The one-day meeting would address a number of issues including local infrastructure, the challenges facing major cities and steps towards the constitutional recognition of local government. The meeting would also see the announcement of the ongoing membership and charter of the ACLG. "The focus of the Council's agenda reflects the challenges currently facing local government, particularly in the area of financial sustainability and community infrastructure. The size of the community infrastructure investment deficit was estimated by PricewaterhouseCoopers to be in the order of $14.5 billion in 2006, with an annual underspend on infrastructure maintenance of around $1.1 billion," said Cr Bell. "ALGA is also progressing the issue of constitutional recognition of local government this year through a process of engaging individual councils and through a Constitutional Summit to be held in Melbourne on 9-11 December. The outcomes of the Summit will provide a firm basis for taking this issue through the ACLG and with the Australian Government." Cr Bell noted that ALGA would now work closely with the Government to develop the timing, the format and the agenda for the meeting in November and the arrangements for the ongoing operation of the ACLG. Roads to Recovery lauded as bill debated in Parliament ALGA President Cr Paul Bell has written to all members of the new Senate advocating the smooth passage of the AusLink Bill which provides for the continuation of Roads to Recovery until 2014 and locks in increased funding. Information Bulletin Page Cor-8 Correspondence & Papers Cr Bell met with Nationals Leader and the Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Local Government, Warren Truss, on Tuesday to discuss the legislation which is supported by the Opposition. Mr Truss commended the legislation as "the sincerest form of flattery" as it matched the Coalition's election commitment. Cr Bell said he was delighted at the display of bipartisan support for Roads to Recovery evidenced by the line-up of 42 speakers in favour of the legislation from the Government and Opposition which so far included: Chris Hayes, Brendan Nelson, Brett Raguse, Luke Simpkins, Greg Combet, Bruce Scott, Mark Dreyfus, Mark Coulton, Bob Baldwin, Gary Gray, Rowan Ramsey, Jodie Campbell, Sharman Stone, Scott Morrison, Yvette D'Ath, Barry Haase, James Bidgood, Wilson Tuckey, Damian Hale, Peter Lindsay, Jim Tumour, Kay Hull, Nola Marino, Craig Thomson, Alby Schultz, Julie Collins, Darren Chester, Bernie Ripoll, Ian Macfarlane, David Bradbury, Peter Slipper, Darren Cheeseman, Luke Hartsuyker, Roger Price, Tony Windsor, Janelle Saffin, Paul Neville, Jill Hall, Louise Markus, Sid Sidebottom, Bruce Billson, Kirsten Livermore. 'The Roads to Recovery program is a highly-successful flagship program for local government which is crucial in providing councils with much-needed resources for the construction and maintenance of local council roads infrastructure, the safety and security of which is paramount for all Australians," Cr Bell said. The Legislation is currently before the House of Representatives. Housing Affordability fund guidelines released Councils and state governments are eligible for funding under the application guidelines for the Government's new Housing Affordability Fund (HAF) launched this week by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Housing Minister Tanya Plibersek. The HAF invests $512 million over five years to target the planning and infrastructure costs that are incurred when building new housing developments. ALGA President Cr Paul Bell welcomed the announcement of the HAF program and its guidelines, saying that ALGA had been working with the Australian Government on the initiative, through the COAG Housing Affordability Working Group. Cr Bell urged councils to examine the guidelines carefully and decide whether they would make an application under the program. "Housing affordability is an issue for councils and local government welcomes the flexibility for the program," he said. 'We are particularly pleased that the Australian Government is prepared to fund community infrastructure related to HAF projects." "It would defeat the program's purpose to fund affordable housing that did not have access to transport, adequate sewerage and water, playgrounds and library services. These basic services need to be funded. Without Federal Government funding, local government would expect developers to make a contribution to this sort of community infrastructure. Local government could also benefit from access to funding to speed up the release of land and undertake the necessary planning work associated with HAF projects." Information Bulletin Page Cor-9 Correspondence & Papers Minister Plibersek said "tens of thousands' of new home buyers would directly benefit from the Fund, with savings coming from grants of up to $10 000 per home, reduced holding costs, and contributions from other levels of government. The grants would be targeted towards areas with high demand for new, entry-level housing and applicants would have to be able to demonstrate that their cost savings were passed on to new home buyers. For further information on the Housing Affordability Fund and the application guidelines please visit www.fahcsia.gov.au/internet/facsinternet.nsf/housing/haf.htm. From the President What a week it has been in politics! It began with the announcement of a new Opposition Leader and finished with the Prime Minister standing shoulder to shoulder with myself and Minister Albanese to make a historic announcement for local government. When I was invited at short notice to attend a joint press conference yesterday with the Prime Minister and Minister Albanese, and although I did not know the full content of the announcement, I suspected the hard work, the resilience, and the tireless campaigning efforts of local government were finally paying off. The Prime Minister announced that for the first time in bur nation's history^ every single council in Australia would be invited to attend a one-day forum with him to address issues of national and local significance, including building national and local infrastructure to boost the quality of life in our communities, as well as issues about major cities and very importantly, Constitutional Recognition. This convention will officially launch the Australian Council of Local Government. The PM's announcement is proof that local government's core messages are getting through to our nation's leaders; these being the need for collaborative partnerships, fairer funding and constitutional recognition. Being in local government, we know that local councils have long deserved a better deal. We know that local government is integral to the health and prosperity of local and regional communities in so many different fields of endeavour: fostering social inclusion, promoting healthy built environments, welcoming enterprise, adopting new technologies to make life easier, helping communities learn and understand the challenges that confront them (like climate change), providing home and community care, supporting those in need, extending programs to our aged, supporting the disabled, hosting community events and awards, and so on. I am keenly aware as you all are that local government has been doing things tough for many years. Our general purpose funding has been consistently falling every year since 1995-96 as a proportion of total Commonwealth taxation revenue (excluding the GST). Even the Productivity Commission has said that this funding merits review. And whilst our human services and reach have expanded, programs have been faced with cost squeezes and other pressures, including withdrawal of funding or involvement of the other spheres, leaving us to pick up the tab because we never have and never will abandon our communities. And whilst we are doingall we can to build up communities as we know it is the backbone of everything good in Australia, Information Bulletin Page Cor-10 Correspondence & Papers the backlog of local community infrastructure renewals is getting greater, with the result that our communities are deprived of these important social wellbeing assets. At the end of what has been a historic week in our history, I think we can all be proud that local government has been tenacious in taking up the fight for a better deal. We are clearly being heard at the highest levels of the Rudd Government. Let's continue to build on this great achievement at the inaugural gathering in November 2008. Cr Paul Bell AM ALGA President Murray - Qld boosts flows, SA suffers The Queensland Government will allow more than 10 billion litres of water, previously allocated for farming, to flow through the Murray-Darling River system. Last year the Government put an auction of 8 billion litres of water allocations from the Warrego River, in the state's south-west, on hold. Premier Anna Bligh says the auction will now not proceed. She says the allocations will be part of a transfer of 10.6 billion litres of water entitlements to the Commonwealth. Meanwhile water allocations for River Murray irrigators in South Australia will rise to 11 per cent of the usual allowance from next month. Water Security Minister Karlene Maywald says the increase from 6 per cent is possible after a small improvement in the volume of water available for South Australia. She says 280 gigalitres of water flowed into the Murray-Darling Basin in August, which was well below the long-term August average of 1,550 gigalitres. Mrs Maywald says marginal improvements in water inflows in the basin have allowed for the allocation increase. "Eleven per cent is still well below what irrigators had at this time last year, this time last year on the first of October they were allocated 16 per cent," she said. "So while it is an improvement on six, it's still a long way off what irrigators need to be sustainable this year." Councillor conduct reforms supported The Municipal Association of Victoria (AAAV) has welcomed the introduction of the Local Government Amendment (Councillor Conduct and Other Matters) BUI 2008 into the Victorian Parliament this week. Cr Dick Gross, AAAV President said strengthening the provisions relating to councillor conduct would engender community confidence that locally elected representatives are fulfilling their roles in a more accountable and transparent manner. The AAAV first called for independent conduct panels to be established in 2006, Extensive research was undertaken and councils were widely consulted to develop a sector position as current legislation deals mostly with sanctions for whole councils, not individuals. Information Bulletin PageCor-ll Correspondence & Papers "The vast majority of councillors behave in an appropriate manner and the proposed reforms will hopefully increase confidence in the decisions and responsibilities that are entrusted to councils," he said. Extra services in nursing homes Nursing homes failing to provide or comply with their claimed level of Extra Services will face tough penalties including possible loss of approved provider status and Commonwealth Government subsidies from the Department of Health and Ageing. The Minister for Ageing, Mrs Justine Elliot said any specific allegation would be referred to the Department of Health and Ageing and investigated by its Complaints Investigation Scheme. Mrs Elliot made the comments in response to an inquiry by the 'Herald Sun' about extra services in Victoria. "If residents and their families are paying extra to receive additional services in their nursing home; then they have a right to receive what they are paying for," Mrs Elliot said. Changing demographics and increasing demands for greater individual choice means nursing home residents and their families are now seeking extra services. Mrs Elliot stressed the Federal Government through its quality and compliance measures aim to ensure that Australia's 3000 nursing homes are maintaining high levels of care. Nursing homes are only approved to offer Extra Service, if their level of provision of these extras is significantly higher than other homes. If a nursing home provider has approval for "extra services" they are able to charge additional fees. Examples of Extra Services include hotel-type services for nursing home residents such hotel-style furniture, varied meal and beverage options. It can also include personal services like manicures and hairdressing. The Complaints Investigation Scheme can be contacted on 1-800-550-552. Graffiti task force launched in Brisbane Police and Brisbane City Council have launched a task force to curb graffiti in the city. Police Minister Judy Spence said five police officers would focus solely on investigating, identifying and arresting graffiti offenders. Brisbane City Council would provide $6 million to pay for three council staffers to support the officers and buy specialist equipment, Ms Spence said. "I'm confident that by working together, with a targeted approach and dedicated resources, we can have a significant impact on this vandalism," she said. She said police had already this year shown how successful targeted operations could be, including one which identified three people responsible for 855 offences. Information Bulletin Page Cor-12 Correspondence & Papers Townsville newest Solar City The $32 million Solar City in Townsville will help the local community save energy, save money and reduce carbon pollution, according to Environment Minister Peter Garrett. Mr Garrett said the Magnetic Island Solar Suburb would be the main component of Townsville Solar City, with the installation of 2500 smart meters, 1700 household energy audits and an estimated 500 solar photovoltaic systems installed on residential rooftops. Australian Citizenship Day 2008 More than 1600 people became Australian citizens on Wednesday as part of Australian Citizenship Day celebrations around the nation. Citizenship Day events included a ceremony on the Spirit of Tasmania passenger ship in Devonport, Tasmania as well as ceremonies at Perth's Bayswater City Council, Brisbane City Hall, the grand ballroom at Sky City Casino in Darwin, the 1st Victorian Sea Scout Hall in Melbourne's Albert Park, Ayers House in Adelaide and at the Department of Immigration and Citizenship's Parramatta office in Sydney. More than 120 000 people became citizens in 2007-08. Greens winners in NSW polls The NSW Government Association says the Greens are emerging from the weekend's local government elections as a stronger political force. Association president Genia McCaffery says Greens councillors and independents have won or are close to claiming a swag of council seats as the counting of preferences got underway on Monday. The process of determining the final make-up of the state's 148 councils will be completed over the next two weeks. On the state's mid-north coast the Greens appear to be on the verge of creating NSW political history by installing mayors in neighbouring councils for the first time. Byron Shire mayor Jan Barham is set to be returned for a second term while Tweed Shire Greens candidate Katie Milne has topped the council's popular vote. Turnbull brings a green tinge to Liberals Green groups are cautiously celebrating the elevation of Malcolm Turnbull to the Liberal leadership, saying he could "green up" the party's climate change policy. Mr Turnbull has been one of the Liberals' more prominent voices on climate issues, pushing for the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol and backing emissions trading. John Hepburn, climate campaigner with Greenpeace, welcomed the transition from former leader Brendan Nelson to Mr Turnbull. Information Bulletin PageCor-13 Correspondence & Papers "We're cautiously optimistic that Malcolm Turnbull will show some more leadership on climate change than Nelson has," Mr Hepburn told AAP. The Liberals face some big decisions on emissions trading - and the government could end up relying on them to pass the scheme in the Senate. Key issues are a start date, with the Liberals favouring 2012 rather than 2010 and how soft the scheme should be. Aged care planning advisory committees The Australian Government has announced the membership of its State and Territory Aged Care Planning Advisory Committees (ACPAC). This kicks off the beginning of the process for the 2008-2009 Aged Care Approvals Round. The committees advise the Australian Government on the distribution of aged care places, including the different types of care and proportion of care, among the specified aged care planning regions. Built environment meets Parliament The 2nd annual BEMP (Built Environment Meets Parliament) event was held on 1 and 2 September and was a huge success this year with 185 senior delegates representing professional and business leaders in the sector. The opening was attended by Ministers, backbenchers and staff including the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Services, Anthony Albanese, and then Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson amongst others. On Day 2, Minister Tanya Plibersek spoke on Housing Affordability, Senator Kim Carr on Innovation, and Minister Peter Garrett on Climate Change and Sustainable Development with key Commonwealth departmental heads speaking on Infrastructure (including Infrastructure Australia) and Cutting Red Tape. Senator Kim Carr chose BEMP as the occasion to announce there would be an Innovation Council for the Built Environment. There are only nine Councils being appointed nationally and the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) has been advocating for a Built Environment Council. This is a great win. He further announced that Sue Holliday, Immediate Past President, has been appointed as the Chair of the Built Environment Innovation Council which is also sensational news. This body will be responsible for providing R&D advice to the Commonwealth for the sector. It is a prestigious appointment and we congratulate Sue. The announcement of the Australia Award for Urban Design was incorporated into the BEMP Gala Dinner. Minister Peter Garrett presented the award to the City of Greater Bendigo for the Bendigo City Centre: a journey of transformation and commitment to quality. Commendations were presented to GHD for the Glenelg Tramline Extension and Landcom for The Landcom Guidelines. A special feature of the Australia Award for Urban Design has been included in the September edition of Australian Planner. The Minister also thanked PIA for its contribution to Your Development, the web portal he launched earlier in the day. Information Bulletin Page Cor-14 Correspondence & Papers Greg Martin confirmed as NTC Chairman The National Transport Commission (NTC) has confirmed that the Australian Transport Council has appointed Greg Martin as Chairman and Frank Muller as Member of the Commission. Greg Martin steps into the role of Chairman following the appointment of Michael Deegan as Infrastructure Coordinator of Infrastructure Australia. He was appointed Deputy Chairman in April 2008 and became Acting Chairman in July. Quote of the week "I am sure Mr Turnbull has the energy, determination and skills to be an effective leader of the Liberal Party." National Party Leader Warren Truss International news EH The UK is building the most cramped housing in Europe in a phenomenon dubbed "rabbit hutch" Britain, with every country in western Europe, from Ireland to Italy, providing bigger new homes, "The cause is simple and shocking," said Ellis Woodman, the curator behind the British pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, opening today, which examines why the quality of British housing has fallen behind the rest of Europe. "England and Wales are the only parts of Europe where house building is unregulated by legally binding minimum space standards," he said. 'That oversight is all too indicative of the failure of successive British governments to ensure that we are well housed." Homes in the UK have the smallest rooms west of Poland and old dwellings are not much bigger, with the average floor space almost a quarter smaller than in Denmark, which boasts western Europe's most spacious living accommodation. Among the smallest homes on the market are Barratt Homes' "Manhattan pods" in Harlow, Essex, which have just 34 square metres of space and a living room measuring three metres by 3.6 metres. A survey by the housing charity Shelter of 500 families living in overcrowded conditions revealed that 86% felt someone in their family was suffering from depression, anxiety or stress and 71% said overcrowding had a negative impact on their health. In November, London mayor Boris Johnson will propose the reintroduction of minimum space standards on all publicly-funded housing in the capital, with one-bedroom flats having to be no smaller than 50 square metres and three-bedroom homes a minimum 74 square metres. Johnson said in the summer that it was "shameful that new buildings in London have some of the smallest rooms in Europe". In a separate move aimed at freeing up more space in Britain's homes, the government said yesterday that it would waive planning procedures for loft conversions of fewer than 50 cubic metres and single-storey extensions no more than 3 metres deep. Extraordinary Change for Your Community "The outcomes were just extraordinary" City of Sydney staff As a Council employee or representative, you may sometimes struggle with effecting transformational change in your community. A number of Australian councils, including City of Sydney, Albury, Frankston, Cowra and Bendigo, have benefited enormously from an approach called 'Future Search'. Information Bulletin Page Cor-15 Correspondence & Papers In a very rare visit to Australia, the creators of Future Search, international consultants and authors Marv Weisbord and Sandra Janoff, are coming to teach the principles behind the approach. The workshop will help you become a better facilitator to effect change in your community across all areas including planning, visioning, sustainability, economic development, youth development, health, transport etc. "I wholeheartedly endorse the approach." Robert Knight, Manager OD, Hepburn Shire Council The workshop is called Changing Communities & Organisations - One Meeting at a Time because: 1. the same principles for change apply equally to communities and organisations, and 2. the best known approach to community change is structured large group action- oriented meetings.

The meeting followed ALGA's attendance at the Digital Economy Forum in Melbourne on 10 September. The Forum was hosted by Minister Conroy and featured presentations by David Kirk, CEO of Fairfax Media (and former captain of the NZ All Blacks), Dr Genevieve Bell, on anthropologist employed by Intel in the USA, and Chris Chapman, inaugural chairman of the Australian Communications and Media Authority. ALGA was represented at the Forum by Cr Paul Braybrooks, who is the representative of ALGA President on the Online and Communications Council. The Forum explored a wide range of issues relating to the digital economy, including the challenges as well as opportunities that it may offer, and the sorts of roles that industry and government need to consider in this area. A particularly interesting theme in the discussions and presentations was that global technology in the form of the internet is actually driving more information and participation on the local scale. As David Kirk commented, "life is local' - something local government knows and understands all too well. Local government supports initiatives that aim to advance Australia's domestic and international competitiveness and foster social cohesion, and considers that the digital economy has great potential to improve the lives of Australian local and regional communities. ALGA felt privileged to have attended the invitation-only Forum and welcomed the Minister's announcement at the close of proceedings that the Australian Government would work with Forum attendees to deliver a 'future directions' roadmap for the Australian Digital Economy by early next year. (See 'from the president). Strong communities invest in cultural capital The "We all Play a Part' campaign is preparing a submission calling on the Federal Government to renew Australia's cultural capital, by investing in local theatres and arts centres across the towns and Hsuburbs of the country. Theatres and arts centres are the cultural hub of towns and suburbs, playing a vital role in building stronger communities across the country. The Australian Performing Arts Centres Association will ask Infrastructure Australia to allocate investment in physical infrastructure, such as local theatres and performing arts centres, drawing from the overwhelming evidence of the fundamental role performing arts play in building stronger communities throughout Australia. Information Bulletin Page Cor-19 Correspondence & Papers ALGA President Cr Paul Bell backed the campaign. "Local Government invests close to $1 billion a year in the arts, but the ever increasing load of maintaining and expanding venues and arts centres to meet community demand has become a real challenge," he said. "Local Government, particularly in regional and outer suburban areas has a considerable backlog of renewal expenditure required to ensure community infrastructure can keep its doors open." The Federal Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Anthony Albanese has called for submissions by 15 October. A key consideration of Infrastructure Australia, the body charged with administering the $20 billion fund will be to 'Improve the functioning of and quality of life within our major cities and major regional centres.' We All Play a Part argues that cultural infrastructure needs investment, just as roads and bridges do for improvements to quality of life. ALGA is lobbying the government to set up a fund specifically for community infrastructure. Supporters of We all Play a Part are encouraged to register online at www.weallplavapart.com.au to receive updates on campaign activities and information as the campaign continues.

Built in the early 1950s, Medina Hall needs substantial renovations of kitchen, bar, toilet and stage due to age and white ant damage. It has a limited seating capacity (seats 200) and does not meet community requirements as a theatre or large social venue.) Australia's cleanest beach winner Townsville's The Strand is the national winner of the Keep Australia Beautiful Clean Beaches Awards. According to the Australian Clean Beaches Judge, Chris Tola, The Strand exhibits everything an overall winning beach should. There is excellent commitment by the council, working together with local community and business. "The Strand's infrastructure ensures every aspect of this beach, from the catchment to the reef, is in the best condition possible. The dedication to ensuring an enjoyable seaside experience for locals and visitors alike, is coupled with an enthusiastic and active commitment to Townsville's environment." The Prime Minister Kevin Rudd congratulated Townsville, saying, 'This award is a testament to the success of the local government and the community in working together to achieve environmental, educational and cultural outcomes for residents and visitors." Further information about the Australian Clean Beaches Awards can be found at www.kab.org.au Information Bulletin Page Cor-20 Correspondence & Papers From the President Much has been said in the nine months since the Federal election about the importance of building an Australia capable of meeting the challenges of the 21st century. We all know and recognise that having the right national and local infrastructure in place is critical to the vision of a nation that can compete domestically and internationally, and foster the social, economic and physical wellbeing of all its citizens. When the Australian Government announced on Budget night its intention to allocate some $20 billion to the Building Australia Fund to help provide essential infrastructure of national significance, I believe it signalled just how serious it is in its commitment to taking our nation forward. Critical infrastructure of national significance includes tangible assets like ports, railways, and roads. We all know the vital role that local roads play in linking local and regional communities with each other, and to the rest of the nation, and we all know the importance to productivity of having safe road networks on which goods and services can be delivered to customers on budget and on time. The way I describe the concept of a national broadband network is as a type of road - the one sometimes known as the 'information super highway' - and this is the basis for my reflections in this week's column. Any modern nation around the world today features reliable telecommunications and information services. The more I travel around this huge continent, the more I am convinced that better telecommunications infrastructure is essential if Australia is to meet the challenges ahead of it. Just as electricity, water and railways were seen as essential utilities in our emerging 19th century nation, so too should telecommunications and information services be considered the critical 'utility' of a modern 21st century Australia. All Australians, no matter where they live, work or play, should be entitled to adequate, reliable and affordable telecommunications services. Local government therefore applauds the commitment of the Australian Government to use the Building Australia Fund to create a $4.7 billion National Broadband Network (NBN) for as many Australians as possible, supported by an Australian Broadband Guarantee for those not able to access the NBN. It is also why ALGA is pleased to represent local government and community needs at the highest level, including the Online & Communications Ministerial Council. However, it is hard to deny that there are many Australians who everyday experience less than optimum telecommunications and information services, simply because they are located in regional, remote or rural Australia. In real terms, this means that could be left behind in all areas of significance: health; education; social inclusion; lifelong learning; participation (work and social). Just as roads physically connect communities across our nation, so too we should never let the opportunity pass to insist on high quality telecommunications infrastructure to link Australians on the information highway all across the nation. Information Bulletin PageCor-21 Correspondence & Papers Not only would such infrastructure help bridge the distances that are often felt in every way by those who live outside our cities, it simply makes sense. We would be more connected, and better able to keep pace with the successful and competing knowledge-based nations around us, which are providing millions of people with this essential tool of our times. ALGA is aware that the Regional Telecommunications Independent Review Committee, which was inquiring into the adequacy of telecommunications in regional, rural and remote Australia, has provided its report to the Minister, Stephen Conroy, who is expected to table it within the next month. In its submission to the Committee, ALGA stressed the importance of improving telecommunications for our local and regional communities if we are to boost our national interest and promote good social and health outcomes. In a similar vein, ALGA will soon be making a submission to Infrastructure Australia endorsing the concept of equitable, reliable adequate and affordable broadband access for all Australians. Local government will be awaiting the Australian Government's response to the Committee's report with interest. Finally, while I am on the topic of infrastructure, ALGA is strongly pursuing adequate funding for community infrastructure. In ALGA's submission to Infrastructure Australia, we will be highlighting local government's awareness that the fund will take care of the big projects and this highlights the need for a separate fund to tackle the smaller - but equally as important - community infrastructure. More on this in next week's column. Cr Paul Bell AM ALGA President Cigarettes to be regulated Cigarettes for sale in Australia will be subject to stringent new regulations to reduce the fire risk from smouldering butts. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has announced a new mandatory standard which will require cigarettes to be tested for combustibility. "Cigarettes will be subject to performance standards and a testing regime which will reduce the likelihood of inadvertent fires occurring when smouldering cigarettes are left near combustible materials," federal Consumer Affairs Minister Chris Bowen said in a statement. "Cigarette-caused fires cost Australia in excess of $100 million each year not to mention the injuries and deaths that result from carelessly discarded cigarettes." Cigarette makers will be required to change their products to ensure they self- extinguish more readily, before the regulations come into force in March 2010. The regulations were drafted after the NSW state government raised the issue at the April meeting of Australia's Police and Emergency Management Ministers. Information Bulletin Page Cor-22 Correspondence & Papers A study conducted by the Victorian Institute of Forensic Science found that between June 1, 2000, and June 30, 2006, 67 deaths nationally were caused by cigarette- related fires. Murray-Darling update New legislation to help secure the long-term future of the Murray-Darling Basin was introduced into the House of Representatives yesterday. The Water Amendment Bill 2008 reforms to the governance arrangements of the Murray-Darling Basin. The legislation gives effect to the Intergovernmental Agreement on Murray-Darling Basin Reform, which was signed by the Prime Minister, the Premiers of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia, and the Chief Minister of the Australian Capital Territory at the Council of Australian Governments meeting on 3 July this year. The Bill will enable the Murray-Darling Basin to be managed nationally as one river system. The Parliament of New South Wales has already passed legislation referring its powers to the Commonwealth and South Australia introduced legislation referring powers to the Commonwealth into its House of Assembly earlier this week. Mobmba's carbon bank push Moomba, in SA's Far North, could become a storage site for Australia's carbon dioxide emissions. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has launched a $100 million Global Carbon Capture and Storage Initiative, which will investigate ways to capture carbon emissions from polluters such as coal-fired power generators in the eastern states. Carbon dioxide could be piped from Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne and injected into the depleted oil and gas reservoirs in the Cooper Basin, which Mr Rudd flew over yesterday afternoon. Santos spokesman Matthew Doman said the carbon storage project had the long-term objective of establishing a large-scale carbon storage hub at Moomba, which could eventually store up to 20 million tonnes of carbon dioxide a year and a billion tonnes over the life of the project. Australian Pipeline Industry Association chief executive Cheryl Cartwright said the transported carbon dioxide was "dangerous" because it could be fatal if inhaled. Lack of planners adds to housing costs A dire shortage of town planners in Australia is having a direct impact on house prices, the Planning Institute of Australia (PIA) says. PIA state president Dyan Currie today told the group's annual state conference at Longreach, in central Queensland, that the shortage slowed processing of development applications by local governments. Information Bulletin Page Cor-23 Correspondence & Papers "Every single application to do something takes longer, and every time you increase the holding costs (of land) it adds to the cost of a development, so that then adds to the cost of houses and units," AAs Currie said. 'The shortage itself really has a direct impact on housing affordability." Ms Currie said in booming Queensland, 60 per cent of councils were short of development assessment planners, while half were lacking strategic planners. The shortage particularly affected rural and remote councils. Despite efforts to recruit planners, vacancy rates remained high and demand for planners was expected to increase by 28 per cent over the next five to 10 years, she said. The situation has prompted the introduction of six-month para-planning courses around Australia to supplement the work of graduates of four-year degree courses. Ms Currie said local governments employed about 50 per cent of planners, state governments 20 per cent and private enterprise 30 per cent. Queensland council offers $1 blocks Richmond Shire Council in north west Queensland is capitalising on Australia's urban property squeeze by offering blocks of land for just one dollar. The council's put up seven 600 square metre blocks of land recently released by the state government for a land grab on October 6. The town's located about five hours west of Townsville and has a population of about 700. Council chief executive officer Michelle Clarke says they're hoping to attract more skilled workers to the area. To apply for the land grab you must have less than half a million dollars in combined assets, pre-approval from a bank to build a home and complete the dwelling within two years and occupy the residence for at least a year. Applicants will go into a raffle for the seven blocks.

Councils calling on women South Australia's councils are being given a new handbook aimed at helping them to attract more women into leadership positions in local government. SA Local Government Relations Minister Gail Gago has launched a new guide for Councils, called Step This Way, which is about women employees in Local Government. In South Australia women hold approximately 16 per cent of senior employee positions in councils and among South Australia's 68 councils, only two CEOs are female. Local Government Association President Joy Baluch said that encouraging women to participate in Local Government, in leadership positions has been a challenge for some time. The LGA was pleased to approve funding for the handbook and welcomed its publication. Step This Way will be available to councils through www.lga.sa. gov.au/site/page. cfm?u=995 Quality standards for Aboriginal aged care The Australian Government has detailed a plan to improve the long-term quality of aged care for Indigenous communities. This includes setting - for the first time - an independent set of quality standards applied to flexible Aboriginal aged care services in remote and very remote communities. This is supported by a $46.2 million program to support care staff and management, provide locum relief and improve facilities. Greens want veto for NT dump The Australian Greens are attempting to block plans to build a nuclear waste dump in the Northern Territory. Greens senator Scott Ludlam has tabled legislation which would give the territory greater powers to veto plans to build a dump at one of four outback sites. Senator Ludlam, from Western Australia, said the process was all wrong and it was time to put the brakes on. His legislation would repeal the Howard government's Commonwealth Radioactive Waste Management Act 2005, which enables the nuclear dump to go ahead in the territory. Information Bulletin Page Cor-25 Correspondence & Papers Federal Labor made an election promise to repeal the laws but has yet to do so. Senator Ludlam said he suspected the Rudd government planned to press ahead with a dump in the territory. (AAP) Australia heads north (and west!) Australia's latest population reading shows that in the first quarter of 2008 the Australian population grew by a record 102,000, higher than any previous reading. Over the 12 months to March, Australia grew at a record 336,800 or 1.6 per cent. Net overseas migration now stands at 199,000 annually, which is double that of just four years ago. On a state by state basis the population increased by 72,400 in NSW (1.1 per cent), 87,600 in Victoria (1.7 per cent), 91,900 in Queensland (2.2 per cent), 16,900 in South Australia (1.1 per cent), 54,200 in Western Australia (2.6 per cent), 4,500 in Tasmania (0.9 per cent), 4,600 in Northern Territory (2.2 per cent), 4,600 in the ACT (1.4 per cent). More information at www.abs.gov.au Historic meeting on 18 November Local Government Minister Anthony Albanese will begin issuing formal invitations today to Mayors and Shire Presidents from all councils to attend the inaugural one- day meeting of the Australian Council of Local Government (ACLG) to be held on Tuesday 18 November at Parliament House. Invitations will also be sent to Local Government and Planning Ministers in State and Territory Governments and local government stakeholders. After this first meeting, the ongoing membership and charter of the Australian Council of Local Government will be announced. ACLG's purpose is to establish a regular dialogue with local government on national issues and will provide a platform to discuss the '4Fs' agenda. The national meeting will start with an official welcoming function on the evening of 17 November 2008. Winners of the 2008 National Awards for Local Government will be awarded there. The Government will meet the costs of holding the meeting, but each attendee will bear their own travel and accommodation costs. AusLink legislation passes The AusLink Bill passed by the Senate yesterday has flushed out at least 55 strong supporters of Roads to Recovery in Parliament. The legislation introduced by the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Anthony Albanese provides for the continuation of Roads to Recovery until 2014 and locks in increased funding from $300m to $350m per year. It was supported by the Opposition which, in government, was the architect of the program. The line-up in favour of the legislation from the Government and Opposition listed in last week's "ALGA News' has been bolstered by speeches in the House of Representatives this week from Stephen Irons, Nicholas Champion, Don Randall, Maria Vamvakinou, Patrick Seeker, Dick Adams - taking it to a grand total of 55 Information Bulletin Page Cor-26 Correspondence & Papers (including Minister Albanese and Warren Truss)! In the Senate, the list includes Senators Jan McLucas, Ian Macdonald, Stephen Hutchins, Glenn Sterle and Ursula Stephens. The Hansard is available at www.aph.gov.au ALGA President Cr Paul Bell said he was "humbled and delighted" at the strong support for local government delivering safer roads in partnership with the Federal Government and thanked all those who have spoken so far in support of the Bill. "I have met with some MPs and Senators already to personally thank them for their support and will certainly be catching up with others when I am in Canberra on 14 and 15 October," he said. State financial management The Senate Select Committee on State Government Financial Management has recently tabled its report into this important public policy issue. ALGA appeared before the Committee at its hearings in Canberra in July 2008, outlining the importance of local government in Australia, and the need to ensure that local government is adequately resourced to deliver services and infrastructure to local and regional communities. Some State Local Government Associations also participated in the Committee processes outlining these points with particular reference to their own jurisdictions. In its majority report, the Committee has picked up on the points raised by ALGA, including the effects of previous cost shifting by the other spheres, and the need to address a lack of transparency in the reporting by state governments of funding to local councils. ALGA welcomes the recommendation of the majority Senators that the Australian Government impose more stringent requirements on state governments, having regard to the identification of Commonwealth funds flowing through states to local government (Recommendation 11). However, it is uncertain whether any of the recommendations will be taken up by the Australian Government. Because the Committee was established prior to the new composition of the Senate on 1 July 2008, ALP Senators formed the minority and in their own (dissenting) report, rejected most of the majority's recommendations (including Recommendation 11). ALGA considers that transparency in public sector financial reporting is an important issue for all governments, and will await the Australian Government's response with interest. Healthy Spaces and Places The last two weeks have seen two more consultation workshops on the Healthy Spaces and Places draft national planning guide, which is open for comment until 30 September 2008. Healthy Spaces and Places is a unique collaboration between ALGA, the Planning Institute of Australia, and the National Heart Foundation, and is supported by funding from the Department of Health and Ageing. Information Bulletin Page Cor-27 Correspondence & Papers The first of the consultation workshops was held in Tasmania. The second was held in the ACT, which featured an address by the National Planning Institute's CEO, Neil Savery, and presentations about the many dimensions involved in helping to promote healthier and more active Australians through design of the built environment.

Town crier announces results Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore and her group of independents enjoyed an old- fashioned victory after thumping the competition at the local council elections. Initial counts on election night showed the group of incumbents garnered nearly 50 per cent of votes cast for the nine council positions. Information Bulletin Page Cor-28 Correspondence & Papers A town crier heralded the final election results from the steps of Town Hall earlier this week to all passers-by in George Street. The Greens group of candidates came second with 18 per cent followed by the Labor and Liberal teams. In the mayoral race AAs Moore registered 56 per cent of votes on election night, with no challenger garnering more than 15 per cent. (AAP) Council spying not warranted Local councils and government departments that use internet mapping sites must learn when to turn a blind eye and respect the privacy of citizens, The Age' says in its editorial on Thusday. It follows recent revelations that authorities are using internet technologies such as Google Earth and Google Street View to spy on householders in the hope of uncovering things like illegal house renovations. Those who advocate the increased use of surveillance technology typically argue that the law-abiding and the virtuous need fear nothing from it, the newspaper says. But does the fact that the ubiquity of surveillance cameras is no longer a matter of open contention mean that people are any more comfortable about being scrutinised - regardless of whether they were photographed doing anything illegal, or even merely embarrassing? The editorial notes that it is difficult to restrain internet mapping sites and, as advocates of privacy point out, there is the further difficulty that no actionable right of privacy exists under Australian law. It does not follow, however, that the council planners and building inspectors who spy on citizens in their backyards should be let off the hook, the paper says. It is not impossible to regulate local authorities, government departments and corporations. Councils rightly insist that people comply with regulations, but that does not mean councils are justified in using every opportunity that arises to police the system. Northern Australia Taskforce changes The Federal Government today announced an overhaul of the Northern Australia Land and Water Taskforce. The changes include new membership, removing all politicians from the group, and new terms of reference, tackling the environmental, economic and social challenges facing northern Australia in the 21st century. As part of the overhaul of the taskforce, the Government gave them two main responsibilities. They are: • Finding new opportunities for economic development in the north based on water availability and sustainability; and • Reporting on the potential impact of new development on water balance and quality, the environment, existing water users and the broader community. Information Bulletin Page Cor-29 Correspondence & Papers Prominent Indigenous leader, Mr Joe Ross from Fitzroy Crossing in Western Australia will be the new chair of the Taskforce. The other members of the Taskforce will be: • Mr Richard Ah Mat, Non-Executive Director, Balkanu Cape York Development Corporation • Mr David Baffsky AO, Honorary Chairman, Accor Asia Pacific • Dr Stuart Blanch, Manager of Northern Landscapes, World Wildlife Fund • Mr David Crombie, President, National Farmers Federation • Ms Elaine Gardiner, Chair, Ord Irrigation Cooperative • Dr Rosemary Hill, Vice-President, Australian Conservation Foundation and Senior Scientist, CSIRO - Sustainable Ecosystems • Dr Andrew Johnson, Group Executive - Environment, CSIRO • Ms Shirley McPherson, Chair, Indigenous Land Corporation • Mr Lachlan Murdoch, Chief Executive, lllyria PL • Mr Michael Roche, Chief Executive, Queensland Resources Council • Ms Terry Underwood OAM, Riveren Station, NT • Mr Walynbuma Wunungmurra, Chair, Northern Land Council; and • Prof Bob Wasson, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research), Charles Darwin University. Under a revised timetable, the taskforce will present a mid-term report to Government by the end of this year, and its final report by December 2009. The new terms of reference and membership were prepared in consultation with each of the three northern jurisdictions. Further background on the Taskforce, including short biographies of the taskforce members can be found at www.nalwt.gov.au. Grants to improve water data The Federal Government is providing an extra $20 million to improve water data collection and water information networks across Australia. Under the Modernisation and Extension of Hydrologic Monitoring Systems Program, an extra $20 million has been made available this financial year to improve water information networks in urban and regional areas. Managed by the Bureau of Meteorology, the funding is available for a range of activities including: Improving co-ordination of monitoring activities; accuracy and currency of existing measurement networks of stream flow, meteorology, groundwater and water storages; procedures for the management of water data within agencies; and enhancing monitoring network coverage for the purposes of water resources assessment and water accounting. Organisations listed in the Water Regulations 2008 can apply for funding, including state and territory agencies that currently monitor water resources, irrigation co operatives, urban water utilities and catchment management authorities.

Wellington City Council were alerted to the object, which resembles a piece of brie and weighs up to 500kg, at Breaker Bay on Saturday. Council spokesman Richard Maclean told The Dominion Post that the council had received "quite a few" calls about the object. One caller reported that their dog foaming at the mouth and vomiting after licking it. "One of the reasons the council wants to get rid of it is because no one knows what it is yet," he said. "The most extraordinary thing is that if it is cheese, why would someone be throwing something so expensive away?" Wellington harbourmaster Mike Pryce told the paper there were no "cheese boats" in the area and no ships had sunk recently. "I'm intrigued. I have no idea where it could have come from."

Concerns have been publicly raised, particularly in Victoria, about the impact of any reforms on local government's role in the provision of home and community aged care, given that local government provides matching funding of $100m in that state. ALGA supported the establishment of a working group to consider reform in more detail and to consult with local government. In welcoming the establishment of the working group Cr Bell stated that "ALGA supports reform to achieve a better service outcome, but it must be reform that protects the ongoing levels of care and that ensures that the current mix of service providers will continue, including local government, state agencies and non government agencies. Local government in Victoria, through the Municipal Association of Victoria, has highlighted concerns about the continuity of services and COAG has acted to address these concerns." Other major issues discussed at COAG included the need to accelerate consideration of major infrastructure projects through the Infrastructure Australia audit and prioritisation process, with Infrastructure Australia asked to present an interim report by the end of the year and the need to finalise arrangements by 2008 for a nationally consistent emergency community warning system which will provide telephone-based warnings in the event of an emergency. COAG also agreed to hold a special meeting in 2009 focused specifically on closing the gap for Indigenous Australians. ALGA calls for Government rethink on waste dumps The Federal Government should follow Professor Garnaut's recommendations to exclude waste dumps from the early stages of a carbon trading scheme, according to the President of the Australian Local Government Association, Cr Paul Bell. Cr Bell has written to the Minister for Climate Change and Water, Senator Penny Wong, this week outlining why inclusion of the waste sector in the initial phase of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) would be "complex and costly" for local government. There are many problems that need to be ironed out," Cr Bell said. "Professor Garnaut acknowledges this. His report released this week makes it clear that the early inclusion of emissions from waste dumps would be problematic due to the Information Bulletin Page Cor-33 Correspondence & Papers variability of these emissions and the timing of their release. The report recommends that before being covered in the scheme, other policies to encourage mitigation in the waste sector should be pursued." ALGA's view was that the sector, including local government, should continue to work with the Australian Government on a number of outstanding technical issues which needed to be resolved before waste was included in the CPRS, Cr Bell said. The issues could be summarised as: • the absence of accurate and affordable measurement of methane; • the absence of a grandfathering clause which means that ratepayers will have to pay for waste produced 20 years ago; and • unintended consequences resulting from the establishment of a low threshold such as providing an unfair advantage to larger landfill operators with little or no effect on emissions reduction. Cr Bell said that some members of the waste industry (mainly large landfill operators) have recommended lowering the proposed emission threshold for coverage by the CPRS from 25,000 tonnes per annum carbon dioxide to 10,000 tonnes. 'We totally disagree with that," he said. "Lowering the threshold would be an administrative nightmare and goes against international experience," he said. "All it would do would make smaller landfills less economically viable and reduce competition in this sector. The miniscule gains in terms of carbon emission reduction from this end of the sector just don't make it worthwhile, environmentally, socially or economically." "In his Interim report, Professor Garnaut nominated the waste sector for later inclusion in the CPRS (2015, in line with the likely inclusion of the agricultural sector)," Cr Bell said. "I urge the Minister to listen to the advice of Professor Garnaut who was appointed by the Rudd Government to provide an independent and expert opinion on this complex issue." ALGA's formal response to the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme Green Paper is on the ALGA website: www.alga.asn.au Local government a leader in 'positive ageing' This week, ALGA issued the results of the 2007 ageing survey it conducted as part of the Australian Local Government Population Ageing Action Plan 2004-2008 initiative (the Plan), which was supported by funding from the Australian Government Department of Health and Ageing. The survey report provides an analysis of the 2007 survey results but also compares them to the results from the two previous surveys conducted under the Plan in 2006 and 2005. The survey results confirm that local government is keenly aware of the challenges posed by an ageing population and that awareness of population ageing within local government is high. In addition, the majority of respondents indicated that they did not believe that impacts from an ageing population overall would be negative, either for the community or the council. Clearly, local councils see that older people are a Information Bulletin Page Cor-34 Correspondence & Papers significant and growing part of their local communities, and that their potential to contribute to overall wellbeing should be recognised and valued. Many councils are at the forefront in responding to the new challenges presented by our ageing population, and are taking opportunities to lead "positive ageing' thinking in their communities. For example, almost all councils responding to the 2007 survey offered assistance for their own mature-aged workers, and have continued to deliver training and awareness programs about the ageing population. Support for seniors through initiatives like Seniors Week remained high. Whilst the Plan formally concluded at 30 June 2008, local government and ALGA remain closely involved in population ageing issues. For example, ALGA is a member of the new Ministerial Conference on Ageing, whose inaugural meeting was held in June 2008, and which is due to meet again in November 2008. The 2007 survey report can be accessed at www.alga.asn.au/policv/healthAgeing/ageing/survevs/ From the President At the recent press conference to announce the inaugural meeting of the Australian Council of Local Government, some interesting points were made by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Infrastructure and Local Government Minister Anthony Albanese on which I have been pondering. As the nation's 565 mayors begin receiving their invitations to this important meeting on November 18, I urge all those attending to think hard over coming weeks and jot down the major points you wish to raise. We must ensure we are not bogged in the mire of day to day concerns, but instead take a strategic view of issues that affect us all - such as the $14.5 billion in unfunded community infrastructure. Now that AusLink and Roads to Recovery funds are locked in until 2014, it is time to turn our minds to the issue of funding to upgrade our local infrastructure such as libraries, theatres, sports facilities, senior citizen and youth centres and kitchens used for Meals on Wheels services, many of which are in such a bad state of repair that they are on a knife-edge. Turning back to the recent press conference on a crisp spring day in the Prime Minister's courtyard, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, spoke of the infrastructure challenges facing communities particularly in our major cities and referred to the $1.13 billion per annum annual underspend on infrastructure renewal in the PricewaterhouseCoopers report. He reiterated the government's commitment for a 'new local infrastructure fund' as distinct from the Building Australia Fund which is for major projects. Minister Albanese stressed that 'local community-based infrastructure is also important to the living standards and lifestyles of people who live in regional Australia and people who live in our cities.' You can imagine at that point that the sun came out - these words were music to my ears! Later that day in Question Time, the Prime Minister referred to the necessity of local government becoming "much more a central part of the national affairs of this country." Information Bulletin Page Cor-35 Correspondence & Papers 'The reason we are doing this [forming the Australian Council of Local Government or ACLG] is because local government is one of the critical arms of the fabric of this country's administration," he said. In his Question Time response, the Prime Minister referred to the need to make sure that the 'infrastructure responsibilities of local government can be delivered at the local level.' He referred to the PricewaterhouseCoopers report which found that there was a $14.5 billion backlog in community infrastructure renewal. He asked: "How do we the national government now partner with local authorities in their local infrastructure needs in the future? This is a critical area for the future. It is a critical area needing reform, it is a critical areas needing financial assistance." Mr Rudd said that apart from infrastructure, the agenda for ACLG would look at the urban design needs of our major cities, and the third item of discussion would be Constitutional Recognition for local government. ALGA and local government has been actively pursuing these agendas over recent years under ALGA's '4Fs' campaign of Fair Funding, Formal Recognition, Fair Treatment and Future Challenges. Local government provided over 1,000 examples of community infrastructure that is desperately in need of rejuvenation to ALGA's Community Infrastructure Ideas Register and we have made sure that the powers that be are aware of the extent of the problem. On the issue of community infrastructure, the Government has announced that it is replacing the Regional Partnerships Program with a new Regional and Community Infrastructure Program. ALGA has put forward a submission calling for any new program to be based on our proposal for a Local Community Infrastructure Renewals Fund. It appears the Prime Minister is listening. We await an announcement on this front with eager anticipation on behalf of communities around Australia that have put up with sub-standard infrastructure for far too long. Cr Paul Bell AM ALGA President Larger budget surplus for 2007-08 The Federal Government has said the final budget surplus for 2007-08 was $19.7 billion, $2.9 billion more than estimated at the time of the May budget. Treasurer Wayne Swan said this was the result of lower than anticipated government spending, rather than a greater influx of tax revenue. "As a result of its strong fiscal position, the government is in a position to invest around $15 billion of the 2007-08 surplus in its three national building funds," Mr Swan said in a statement. The higher surplus will also provide additional resources to the Australian Office of Financial Management - the government's asset manager - to invest in high-quality, AAA rated residential mortgage-backed securities. Information Bulletin Page Cor-36 Correspondence & Papers The three nation building funds announced in the May budget will have a combined balance of more than $26 billion by July 1, 2009 for capital investment in the future infrastructure, education and health needs. The government will allocate $7.5 billion from the 2007-08 surplus to the Building Australia Fund. This contribution, combined with proceeds from the second instalment of the sale of Telstra 3 and the former Howard government's Communications Fund, will provide $12.6 billion for future investment in our roads, railways, ports and communications infrastructure. The government will also allocate $2.5 billion to the Education Investment Fund, which when combined with assets from the former government's Higher Education Endowment Fund, will provide $8.7 billion for investment in higher education and vocational training institutions. The final $5 billion from the 2007-08 surplus allocation will be invested in the Health and Hospitals Fund. (AAP) Senate inquiry into aged care funding The Senate has established an inquiry into the adequacy of funding for the aged care sector on the motion of ACT Senator Gary Humphries. The inquiry will investigate funding levels for aged care services, as well as related issues, and is due to report by the first sitting day of April 2009. 'The care of older Australians is being placed at risk because the Government is not guaranteeing an adequate income stream past the 2009 Budget and many aged care facilities are rightfully concerned about this," Senator Humphries said. Water and sewerage constitutions The constitutions for each of the local government owned water and sewerage corporations have been tabled in Tasmanian Parliament for final approval. The constitutions provide the best quality framework for the governance and commercial operations of the water and sewerage corporations into the future," the Tasmanian Treasurer, Michael Aird, said. "If Parliament approves the constitutions, the new corporations can be formally incorporated under Commonwealth Corporations Law and key appointments, such as the Chair, the company directors and Chief Executive Officers can be quickly finalised." Threat to HACC in Victoria The Municipal Association of Victoria (AAAV) is warning of a serious threat facing the state's community care services that support frail older people to remain in their homes. Cr Dick Gross, AAAV President said the Rudd Government's desire to 'slash and burn the number of payments to state governments' was behind a COAG proposal that could reduce service quality and care levels to hundreds of thousands of Home and Community Care (HACC) recipients. Information Bulletin Page Cor-37 Correspondence & Papers This is particularly worrying for pensioners who already struggle to afford basic services. A decrease in funding and access to community care would be a severe blow to the health and safety of many older people. Unlike other states where HACC is delivered by non-government organisations, local government is the largest public sector provider in Victoria. It is also a key service planner and critical funding partner, voluntarily injecting a further $100 million each year to minimize the need for waiting lists and service cuts. The AAAV has written to the Premier and Prime Minister urging that a decision on responsibility for aged care must be deferred until discussions are held with all funding partners and a comprehensive review of the service is undertaken," Cr Gross said. Vote on-line for Landcare Awards There is a new 'local government' category in the National Landcare Awards, which are held every 2 years. This year, for the first time, all of the state winners (nominees for the national awards) are presented on a website aimed at engaging the general public to find out how to get involved, vote, leave a message of support, or even leave a voice message. The finalist that has inspired the most people to vote will be presented with the 'people's choice' trophy, by Jack Thompson, at the national Awards event on October 23, at Parliament House. The website is www.landcareheroes.com. The local government category is titled 'Living environment, Healthy communities'. State winners are the City of Victor Harbor, Crows Nest Shire Council, Hume City Council, Namadgi National Park, NEWROC Natural Resource Management Group, Orange City Council and the Southern Midlands Council. This award will be made to an outstanding local government organization which is collaborating with its community to preserve and manage its local environment and natural resources, encouraging a Landcare ethic and action in the local community, and cooperating on Landcare issues and projects with neighbouring organizations, businesses, other councils and landowners. Judges will be looking for active partnerships between Landcare and the Local Government Organisation. ACCC decision on food and waste The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has issued a decision proposing to grant authorisation to the Inner Sydney Waste Management Group of Councils to jointly tender and contract for services to transfer, process and dispose of food and garden organic waste and to market and sell any end products in the relevant local government areas. The ISWMG comprises six local councils: Council of the Municipality of Ashfield, Auburn Council, Burwood Council, City of Canada Bay Council, Leichhardt Municipal Council and Council of the Municipality of Strathfield. Information Bulletin Page Cor-38 Correspondence & Papers ^^ The ACCC considers that the proposed arrangements have the potential to provide efficiencies in the provision of waste management services in the inner Sydney region," ACCC Chairman, Mr Graeme Samuel, said. The ACCC seeks submissions from interested parties in relation to its draft determination by Thursday 16 October 2008. The ACCC's draft determination will be available on the ACCC website. Best wishes for Rae Perry ALGA has sent its best wishes to former ALGA President and CEO of the Victorian Local Governance Association, Rae Perry, who is in hospital following a serious motorcycle accident on September 7. Rae sustained a serious head injury and is still in the high dependency unit of the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Cards and messages of support can be sent through the VLGA. Our thoughts and prayers are with Rae and her family. Risk factors and Indigenous violence That Indigenous Australians experience violent victimisation at markedly higher rates than other Australians is widely acknowledged both within and outside Indigenous communities. However, as in all communities, some individuals, even within the same group, face a greater risk of victimisation than others. Identifying which individuals, families or communities are at risk, and under what circumstances, is essential to implement effective preventative (e.g. night patrol, family counselling) and, in some cases, reactive (e.g. hospital services, child protection services) strategies. The ability to do this relies on having already established accurate predictive risk factors. A paper by the Australian Institute of Criminology www.aic.gov.au uses studies and data from surveys, service providers and the criminal justice system to examine how victimisation rates for specific types of violence vary with demographic, psychological, sociological and cultural factors within the Indigenous population, and how these are similar to or different from those observed in mainstream society. Garnaut toughens targets Climate change adviser Ross Garnaut has toughened his recommended greenhouse targets. After infuriating green groups earlier this month by recommending a 10 per cent greenhouse target by 2020, he's now more open to a 25 per cent cut in emissions. He also aspires to a 90 per cent target by 2050, compared with the Federal Government's 60 per cent goal. On Tuesday Professor Garnaut released his long- awaited 620-page final report on what the nation should do about climate change. "Strong mitigation, with Australia playing its proportionate part, is in Australia's interests," the report says. "(Australia) should express its willingness to reduce its own entitlements to emissions from 2000 levels by 25 per cent by 2020, and by 90 per cent by 2050 in the context of an international agreement." And if no global climate deal is forged out of the UN process, Australia should aim to cut emissions by five per cent by 2020 as an "unconditional offer", Professor Garnaut says. Information Bulletin Page Cor-39 Correspondence & Papers In line with government policy, he wants emissions trading to start in 2010, with a fixed, rising carbon permit price until 2012. Less than 30 per cent of the value of the permits should be given to trade-exposed, emissions-intensive companies which could lose out to competitor nations that don't have emissions trading. Professor Garnaut has stuck with his draft recommendation on how the revenue from emissions trading should be spent. Households would get half, 30 per cent would go to businesses, and 20 per cent to research. The cost to consumers of rising energy and petrol prices can be balanced through payments to households, while preserving price incentives to reduce emissions," he said. The Garnaut Climate Change Review Final Report is available at www.garnautreview.org.au The Federal Government is scheduled to release further Treasury modelling in October. The Government's White Paper on the final design of the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme is due for release by the end of the year. Maternity leave recommendation The Productivity Commission has recommended the Federal Government implement an 18-week taxpayer-funded maternity leave scheme, at a cost of $450 million a year. The commission will hold public consultations on its proposed scheme over the next few months before handing down a final report to Government in February. The Minister for Families Jenny Macklin has indicated the Government will support paid maternity leave in some form. "From my point of view the great thing about paid parental leave is that it's great for babies, it's great for families and also great for the workforce. So there are three reasons why this Government will introduce a paid parental leave scheme," she said at doorstop in Redfern on Tuesday. Population turnover Population turnover estimates are of strong interest because they can help understand, for example, why the characteristics and needs of a region are changing significantly within the context of having a relatively stable population count. Migration is recognised as a key factor in regional social and economic development. The Information Paper: Regional Research in Australia - the Statistical Dimension: an Information Development Plan for Rural and Regional Statistics, 2005 (cat. no. 1362.0) identified a need for data on the movement of people into and out of regions to inform regional research and policy themes. Inter-regional migration impacts broadly on a range of issues such as the size and structure of inter-regional labour markets, the demand for services, and the human capital that contributes' to community strength. Grandparents make kids smarter New research has confirmed what many Australian families already know - grandparents are unsung heroes in the community and they also have an influential role in the development of their grandchildren. Research commissioned by the Australian Government - Growing up in Australia: The Lonsitudinal Study of Australian Children - measures children's physical, learning and cognitive development plus social and emotional functioning. Its findings show Information Bulletin Page Cor-40 Correspondence & Papers that children aged between three and 19 months who are cared for by family and friends as well as their parents, have higher learning scores than those who just receive care from primary guardians. Much of this care is provided by grandmothers and grandfathers. Interim planning controls Acting Victorian Planning Minister, Richard Wynne, approved interim controls in the Goulburn Valley to protect rural and regional land from inappropriate subdivision and dwelling proposals. The Campaspe, Moira and Greater Shepparton Planning Schemes have been amended under the Rural Regional Land Use Strategy in accordance with the Planning and Environment Act 1987," Mr Wynne said. Mr Wynne responded to the concerns of the three councils that the existing planning controls would erode the agricultural base of the region. The interim controls are necessary to protect farmland from inappropriate subdivision. The protection of farm land is critical to our agricultural industry and our state and national economies," he said. This is a matter of state significance and I congratulate the councils on their initiative in developing a strategy that will provide a consistent approach to the management of rural land." The interim controls will be in place for two years. Intervention report weeks away The Federal Government would carefully consider the recommendations of a report into the commonwealth intervention into Northern Territory indigenous communities, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd said. A federal review of the intervention is set to recommend an end to blanket compulsory income management, as well as the reinstatement of the Racial Discrimination Act, News Limited reported on Tuesday. The review board, headed by West Australian indigenous leader Peter Yu, was originally due to hand its report to the government on Tuesday, but has been given an extension of several weeks. Mr Rudd said the government would carefully consider the report's recommendations when it was delivered. Labor has previously expressed strong support for compulsory income management. Turnbull says republic not inevitable Australia is not assured of becoming a republic even after Queen Elizabeth's reign ends, federal Opposition Leader Malcolm Turnbull says. Information Bulletin Page Cor-41 Correspondence & Papers Mr Turnbull, a republican, said to win any referendum to alter the Constitution there needed to be more than bipartisan political support. He said an overwhelming majority of people and states had to be in favour of a republic for it to happen. "I think the next time this will come onto the agenda in a form where a change could be approved and it may not even be approved then, is at the end of the Queen's reign," he told Macquarie Radio. Program to recruit graduates West Australian Local Government Association (WALGA) has launched a program to attract recent graduates to the skills shortage-hit local government sector. The Get On Board initiative is an element of the WALGA's ongoing recruitment strategy that comprises a state-wide television advertising campaign, an overseas recruitment service as well as a series of careers and employment expos both in WA and overseas. Quote of the week "It is our choices...that show what we really are far more than our abilities." JK Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets International news EH An English couple has been reunited with their missing cat after nine years thanks to a microchip embedded in the wayward pet, Britain's RSPCA says. Dixie, a 15-year-old ginger cat, disappeared in 1999, and her owners assumed she had been killed by a car, Reuters reported. She was found less than a kilometre from her home in Birmingham after a concerned resident rang the animal charity to report a thin and dishevelled cat which had been in the area for a couple of months. RSPCA animal collection officer Alan Pittaway checked her microchip and confirmed it was Dixie. She was returned to her owners, Alan and Gilly Delaney, within half an hour. "In 29 years of working for the RSPCA I have never seen anyone so excited and happy as Mrs Delaney," Pittaway said. "It made my day to return Dixie to her owners." The couple was "overjoyed" to be reunited with their beloved pet after so many years. "Dixie's personality, behaviour and little mannerisms have not changed at all," said Gilly Delaney. "We don't think she has stopped purring since she came back through the door." The RSPCA hopes the story will encourage owners to have their pets microchipped.

The Prime Minister today announced that all Mayors and Presidents of Local Governments around the country will be invited to attend the Australian Council of Local Government at Parliament House on 28 November. WA Local Government Association President, Cr Bill Mitchell welcomed the move, saying it fulfilled an election promise made by the Prime Minister to provide a greater focus on Local Government issues. "Local Government and local communities will now be given the opportunity to have their concerns heard direct by the Prime Minister and relevant Federal Ministers," Cr Mitchell said. "A national forum should highlight a number of critical issues currently faced by Local Governments nationwide, such as infrastructure development and renewal and the need to explore sources of funding for the delivery of services at the local level." Cr Mitchell said one suggestion he would make at the inaugural forum would be to hold any future meetings alongside the National General Assembly of Local Government to help defray the cost to WA Councils of sending representatives to the Eastern States. WA Premier-elect Colin Barnett today announced his cabinet, with John Castrilli being announced as the Minister for Local Government and National Party leader Brendon Grylls as Minister for Regional Development and Lands. Cr Mitchell welcomed the opportunity to work to work closely with all levels of government in implementing Local Government's recently endorsed plan for the future of the sector, The Journey. "I've already spoken with Mr Castrilli and he has impressed upon me his commitment to work in consultation with the sector as we enter a new era for Local Government," Cr Mitchell said. "And Mr Grylls has also previously stated that Local Government is an important issue for him. "It is exciting to see Local Government issues come to the fore at both a National and State level and we will be working hard to maintain this level of attention for the benefit of local communities."

NCain Executive Manager Business Services 01-October-2008 Information Bulletin 21 Page CS-21 City Strategy - Minutes of Meetings Jandakot Groundwater Community Advisory Committee meeting Minutes 11th September 2008 Attendees: Amie Leggett (DOW), Caroline Haynes (DOW), Glenn Biggins (DOW), Renee Rowling (DOW), Andrew Paton (DOW), Sarah Bourke (DOW), Josephine Searle (DOW), Joe Miotti (Water Corporation), Chris Beaton (City of Cockbum), Ron van Delft (City of Armadale), David James (Friends of Lake Forrestdale), Ted Evans (Water Corporation), Robyn Pickering, Kym Erickson (DOW), Phillip Jennings (Murdoch University), Denise Crosby (Cockbum Wetlands Education Centre), Paula Haro (City of Armadale). Apologies: Sandie McHugh (DOW) Agenda Item Discussion 1. Welcome and Phillip Jennings opened the meeting and the attendees introduced Apologies themselves. 2. Business arising from Much of the business arising fromth e last meeting held on the 20 June last meeting 2007 were not required to be raised at this point as most previous agenda items were to be discussed and updated in the current agenda. Minutes confirmed as accurate from last meeting Andrew Paton was asked at last meeting to review communications between the Department of Water and the public. Andrew explained that the DOW is in the process of forming a new branch which will deal with community consultation. Any recommendations which will facilitate communications are welcome. The progress of the Section 46 review was brought up and added to the agenda. 3. Brief update on water Renee Rowling provided an update on water levels for 2007/2008 and levels and criteria for associated criteria breaches. 2007/2008 General Points Volume of groundwater to be allocated each year is determined on an annual basis. Superficial aquifer allocations have been kept as low as possible each year. 2007/2008 allocations were 4.1GL 2008/2009 proposed allocations3.2GL Private allocation has remained constant but continues to be cancelled when no longer needed. 3 breaches in 2008 due to average rainfall North Lake has been non-compliant since 1998 Shirley Balla Swamp is drying by November and has been non- compliant since 1997 Bibra Lake also continues to be non-compliant and is showing a downward trend in water level over time Strong link between yearly rainfall and amount of non compliances on the mound. Discussion It was queried as to whether it was really just low rainfall on the mound Information Bulletin 22 Page CS-22 City Strategy - Minutes of Meetings Agenda Item Discussion that was creating non-compliances. Andrew Paton answered that overall it appears that is the case and that research is on-going to determine the effect of climate change on the mound. A question was asked as to the true amount that private abstraction may have eased. Renee Rowling replied that it would not be a significant amount and she is not sure of an exact figure. The program by which private bores are metered to determine actual use was brought up and it was determined that the Gnangara Mound has the highest priority due to heavy horticulture. It is not sure when the Jandakot Mound will be metered. It was asked whether the desalination plant will reduce abstraction and assist in reducing non-compliances. Joe Miotti answered that it is the water level in the dams which determine how much groundwater is abstracted each year. It is possible that excess water from the desalination plant can be stored in the dams which will bring their levels up and reduce the amount required to be abstracted. This is dependant on good rainfall reducing the amount that is used from the desalination plant. A question was asked as to the yield of the Jandakot Mound in terms of Perth Water Supply. Joe Miotti answered that when it was first sourced the anticipated usage was 9-1OGL a year. Recent abstraction has been much less; around 5-6GL and it is predicted to be around 7GL this year. The bulk of the water is sourced from the Leederville artesian aquifer. The Jandakot Mound will continue to be used as a water source now that it has been developed. 4. Summary of Renee Rowling provided an update on the biological monitoring being Monitoring Outcomes for conducted on the Jandakot Mound in 2007/2008. 2007/2008 • Wetland General Points Key commitments, outlined in ministerial statement 688 for the Jandakot vegetation mound, include ongoing monitoring of specific wetland environmental • Terrestrial parameters including flora and fauna. vegetation • Macro Average rainfall has been below average since 2001 onwards. 2006 was Invertebrates the lowest recorded at 479.9mm. 2007 rainfall was 703mm • Waterbirds • Wetland Vegetation • End of Summer Weeds are prolific- biomass increasing Monitoring Long-term trends indicate a slow deterioration of tree health related to ongoing declines in rainfall and groundwater levels. Insect attack has eased. Increase in mean health at Kogolup Lakes, Twin Bartram and Shirley Balla Swamp. • Terrestrial Vegetation Drop in bore levels of 1m over 20 years Overall general decline in tree and understorey health. Increase in number of stressed individuals due to declining rainfall. Declines and loss of species at some sites Possibility that abstraction is exacerbating declining groundwater levels. • Macro Invertebrates Information Bulletin 23 Page CS-23 City Strategy - Minutes of Meetings Agenda Item Discussion Composition of macro invertebrate fauna and water quality similar to previous year's findings. Lack of major changes in water quality suggests no salinisation, acidification or eutrophication. Only 3 wetlands contained water in summer. Species richness and abundance is dependant on water levels and no significant effect has been seen from the low 2006 rainfall. o Waterbirds Species numbers and abundance determined by a number of factors including rainfall, water levels, changing lake bed conditions, availability of wetlands elsewhere in the state. 2007 water levels low, recovering from 2006. Decline in numbers since 1996 but has stabilised in the last few years. Absence of migratory waders possibly due to encroachment of riparian vegetation on the lake beds. Declines in diving species due to low water levels. 2007 was a good year in terms of number of species recorded breeding (7). • End of Summer Monitoring Correlation between vegetation condition and declining water levels. Wetland and terrestrial vegetation experiencing water stress at end of summer 2007/2008. Increase in abundance of exotics. Discussion It was asked whether or not more details are available concerning the waterbird surveys and it was answered that the report can be accessed through the DOW. Amie Leggett or Caroline Haynes can be contacted on 93556243 or 93556242. David James asked what the Jandakot Mound habitat will be like in 20 years if current trends continue. Andrew Paton answered that it looked grim especially if climate changes continue and also stated that modelling had been done. If water levels in the lakes remain low it would follow that there would be less riparian vegetation. 5. Section 46 review Andrew Paton provided a brief update on the Section 46 review. General Points • Some criteria were removed from the Jandakot Mound due to irrelevance during Phase 1 of the review. • Phase 2 is going ahead on the Gnangara Mound but deemed inappropriate for the Jandakot Mound. • Next phase for the JM involves post-doctoral research being conducted into climate change • A document will be available for comment at some time in the future, unsure of time frame. • Section 46 is to remain on the agenda for an update next year. 6. Leederville Aquifer Joe Miotti provided and update on the Water Corporation Jandakot Abstraction Mound operations General Points • Production bore J5 has been pumping for 6 months. • 3 production bores on the mound, J5, J105 and J45. Information Bulletin 24 Page CS-24 City Strategy - Minutes of Meetings Agenda Item Discussion • Monitoring bores indicate a 12m drop in head since the 1980's. • The impact predicted from pumping at J5 was a 2-4m drop in monitoring bores. A drop of lm-2m has been seen. • On the superficial aquifer most monitoring bores show little impact on the water table. • Water Corp has been trialling the insertion of water back into the aquifer. 400 mega litres were banked last year. • Fresh water is pumped into a brackish bore to improve water quality. Discussion It was queried as to the quality of water in the Leederville aquifer. Joe Miotti answered that it has a salinity of around lOOOg/L. The cut off level for drinking water is 500g/L so the water is mixed with fresh water from the desal plant. The desal plant therefore allows greater use of artesian water. A question was asked regarding the depth of the Leederville aquifer. Joe answered that it varies and the upper confining layer starts anywhere from 50m to 100m deep. Joe was asked to comment on media reports that Perth is sinking due to groundwater abstraction. He replied that he is unqualified to answer the question but suggests that such reports be taken with a grain of salt. The injection trial was discussed with Joe explaining that fresh water has to be injected for technical reasons therefore treated water is pumped into the aquifer. It was asked what the annual amount of pumped water was from production bore J5. Joe answered that in 2007 it was 1200 megalitres and will be around 1800 megalitres in 2008. A question was asked concerning whether or not there are water level criteria set for the Leederville aquifer. It was answered that there are not criteria set and that maximum abstraction is from the Leederville aquifer and not the superficial aquifer. Andrew added that it is difficult to put criteria on the Leederville but annual negotiations with the Water Corp to renew allocation licences take into account all the data available. 7. Shallow Groundwater Jo Searle and Sarah Bourke provided an update on the 4-year shallow Systems Update groundwater systems investigation. General Points • Stages 1 and 2 of the 4 year program are completed. • 40 wetland sites are being monitored with water and soil samples being taken. • Most sampling currently being undertaken on the Gnangara Mound. The Spectacles and Thomson's Lake are being sampled on the Jandakot Mound. • Sediment cores and water levels were taken of North Lake and Lake Forrestdale in 2007. Analysis of data is still on-going and more results will be discussed at next years meeting. Information Bulletin 25 Page CS-25 City Strategy - Minutes of Meetings Agenda Item Discussion • Testing so far indicates the possibility of Acid Sulfate Soils around North Lake although the data is not conclusive. Similar data sets were found at Forrestdale Lakes although the flow regime is more complex. Discussion Why particular lakes were selected was discussed. It was noted that the reasoning was complex and can be found in the background report for the project. Jo Searle can be contacted on 9364 6635. Aspects of the decisions included that some lakes are representative of others i.e. they are geo morphologically similar and costs associated with infrastructure etc. 8. South Jandakot Ted Evans discussed the South Jandakot Drainage Scheme Drainage Scheme General Points • Project objectives are: to evaluate effectiveness of detention basins and buffer lakes, identify impacts on receiving basins, allow assessment of drainage management and to provide baseline data. • The target of 20% reduction in phosphorus load from inflow to outflow was achieved in 2007 with the reduction at 45.9%. • Nitrogen load in 2007 was reduced 45.6% • Excess water is pumped from Yangebup to the ocean but hasn't happened in the last three years as control levels have not been reached. • Thomson's Lake can also be pumped if control levels are reached. • There is limited baseline data from pre development. Discussion It was asked who decides if Thomson's Lake gets pumped or if it is an automatic occurrence once control levels are reached. Ted replied that the decision is reached by DEC staff and that although Thomson's Lake is above the control level this year it is unlikely it will be pumped. It was also stated that Yangebup is also not automatically pumped and each year the decision is based on available data. 9. Hydrological Changes Robyn Pickering presented data from her own research on the at Thomson's Lake hydrological changes seen on the Jandakot Mound General Points • Robyn found that there was a significant change in the hydrological regime for Thomson's, North and Forrestdale Lakes between 1994 and 1995. • By graphing peak water levels against annual rainfall she found a 0.5m drop at Thomson's Lake, a 1.1m drop at North Lake and a 0.46m drop at Forrestdale Lake Waiting on reply from Robyn Discussion It was questioned as to the possible causes of the change with several options discussed. It was noted that the sub soil drainage scheme began in 1994. It was also noted that the Water Corporation started pumping in the area between 1992 and 1993. Andrew Paton asked for a copy of the research to further look into the phenomenon. Information Bulletin 26 Page CS-26 City Strategy - Minutes of Meetings Agenda Item Discussion 10. Yangebup Lake Chris Beaton presented data on the water quality at Yangebup Lake and Water Quality the associated management study. Management Study General Points • The aim of the study was to review water quality data and suggest appropriate nutrient management options with the goal of improving water quality. • Predictions that the South Jandakot Drainage Scheme would reduce water quality in Yangebup Lake were correct. • Lower rainfall, contaminated inflow and reduced outflow have increased nutrient concentrations, led to permanent algal blooms with potentially toxic cyanobacteria present and increased the prevalence of nuisance midges. • Most Nitrogen is received via the groundwater whereas most Phosphorus is coming from the South Jandakot Drainage Scheme • 9 management options were put forward at the end of the study. These were: - Lowering of lake water level - Sediment Capping - Removal of Lake Sediment - Revegetation - Algal Control - Water Sensitive Urban Design - Community Catchment Management - Groundwater Remediation - Business as usual • Stakeholder evaluation of options favoured WSUD, Community Catchment Management and Groundwater Remediation. 11.

For Local Government to sustain the best leader representation possible, the process by which Elected Members nominate for State, Federal and Association Board and Committee vacancies needs to be continually refined. Current applications for vacancies are at an all time low, meaning that Local Government may not be getting the representation it needs and deserves. To help redress this issue, the Association will be contacting all Elected Members directly via email in regards to upcoming vacancies. WALGA will continue to distribute a hard-copy summary of vacancies in the mail-bag for circulation to Elected Members and relevant Officers. Please note that from WALGA's point of view, a Council decision is not required for nominations to Boards and Committees administered through the WALGA Selection Committee process. We hope that this will expedite and simplify the process for Elected Members and Council as well as increasing the number and diversity of nominations. The WALGA President, Cr Bill Mitchell, will be writing to all Mayors and Presidents to remind them of WALGA's selection process and the importance of Local Government representation on Boards and Committees. We strongly appreciate your ongoing support for the Association's selection process. .For further information, please find attached a flowchart that displays the current Selection Committee application process or contact Governance Policy Officer, Tim Lane, on (08) 9213 2029 or tlaneOwalqa.asn.au if you have any questions regarding this matter.

The LGRG resolved to Manager advocate for the establishment of such a and LGRG mechanism. NRM Meetings have been held with Paul Frewer Coordinator (Act DG DoW), Dorte Ekelund (Deputy DG of DPI) and Martin Richardson who have agreed a high level group is needed. Paul and Dorte had agreed to meet to progress this issue, but Paul is no longer the A/DG of the DoW, and the position has been advertised. The Statutory Planning Committee of the WAPC has been briefed on the SCC's approach to Integrated NRM, and ideas to better integrate NRM with statutory planning. It was agreed to explore a Partnership Agreement between the WAPC, DPI and SCC through a Working Group. A letter has been sent to the Chair of the WAPC with a copy to the Director General of the DPI. Eric Lumsden is the new DG of DPI and a meeting has been held with him prior to taking up the appointment, to discuss future directions for Planning and NRM. Bruce thanked Clive for coordinating a subsequent meeting with Eric Lumsden (DPI Director General). Bruce advised that Eric was still very supportive of this issue and requested another meeting in a few months time. 4 05/12/07 9.2 Integrated Water Management and Peri- Bruce C urban Issues Hamilton Bruce Hamilton to meet with Allison Hailes from WALGA to ensure that peri-urban and outer Local Government integrated water issues are dealt with in a coordinated way.

LEGEND C Completed D Deferred O Ongoing 4. NATIONAL AND STATE DEVELOPMENTS 4.1 State Government Position on NRM Colin Heinzman reported that there is now no requirement for the State to match the Australian Government funding and that the State budget for 'Regional NRM' is $21 M in the 2008/2009 transition year. A new process for prioritising projects for funding had started. 4.2 Federal Labor Government Position - Caring for Our Country Colin reported that the Caring for Our Country (CfOC) funding now comes directly to the 56 NRM Regions and to date this was $3.23 M for the SCC. With additional funding form the National Landcare Program and State funding this should rise to about $4.0 M, similar to previous funding. The next four years of the Program would involve competitive funding, with bids required by January 2009 to start funding form July 2009. Linda is going to Canberra on 12 August with the other Regional CEOs for a full briefing on how CfOC will be implemented. It is understood the Prime Minister will announce a Business Plan with targets in late September, early October. 4.3 State NRM Plan, State NRM Strategy and Investment Plan A draft State NRM Plan has been released for comment with several information sessions held. The SCC hosted the Metropolitan session, which was well attended by over 100 people. It is proposed that the SCC will coordinate a joint submission with its partners, including Local Government. Overall comment by Local Government will be coordinated by WALGA, but all Local Governments are encouraged to make there own submissions. 5. PARTNERSHIPS FOR INTEGRATED NRM 5.1 Caring for Our Country (CfOC) Project Proposals CfOC Project Proposals need to be submitted by the 1 August. The SCC has worked with the Sub-regional Reference Groups to identify and support priorities for submission for the Transitional Year. This has been a useful Meeting No 08/04 Page3 Information Bulletin Page D-8 Information Items from the Development Services Directorate ITEMS FOR INFORMA TION- LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFERENCE GROUP - MINUTES OF MEETING HELD ON WEDNESDAY, 6AUGUST2008 Local Government Reference Group Minutes 6 August 2006 process and has facilitated contact with Local Governments and community groups that will make separate bids as part of the evolving strategic approach for Integrated NRM in the Region. The SCC has also been involved in cross regional working groups to identify priority cross regional and statewide projects. Concerns have been raised that the CFOC funding is linked to short term Outcomes and Targets of 1 to 3 years, when all partners have moved to a longer term strategic approach using at leats 20 year Resource condition Targets. Linda added that this short term view seems to be held Treasury, which doesn't fit with doing integrated NRM, which is long term. Mayor Glenys Godfrey expressed concern that Local Government has been left out of CfOC, when it should be a key partner as the sphere of government closest to the land and the community. 5.2 State NRM Transitional Year Funding As noted earlier the State has called for Project bids for its Transitional Year funding of $21M. The SCC has worked with its partners to submit project proposals that build on important work already underway or where important gaps exist. Councillor Elizabeth Taylor said she was very unhappy about Local Government not being formally involved in the process and asked if ALGA is included in the briefing on CfOC in Canberra on 12 August. Jessica Sheppard commented that it is important to liaise with ALGA to push for Local Government to be properly included. Bruce commented that the CfOC and State 'Regional NRM' funding is small compared to overall NRM investment by State and Local Government. It is estimated that State investment is $170 M and Local Government investment $270 M, compared to total 'Regional NRM' funding of about $4 M from CfOC and the State. Mayor Glenys Godfrey asked if the SCC will need to reduce programs because of lower funding and suggested that the large number of Reference Groups would be a significant cost to support. Colin Heinzman and Linda Soteriou said the cost is small compared to the return of being able to bring all of the key stakeholders together to develop and contribute to a strategic direction for NRM. The SCC is the only forum where this can occur and Linda gave examples of additional funding, such as the $2.7 M from the Australian Government for a National Pilot on small industry. 5.3 Improving NRM Investment Decision Making in WA An important issue for the NRM Regions, Local Government and the community is the process through which State and Commonwealth NRM investment will be made. Meeting No. 08/04 Page 4 Information Bulletin Page D-9 Information Items fromth e Development Services Directorate ITEMS FOR INFORMA TION- LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFERENCE GROUP - MINUTES OF MEETING HELD ON WEDNESDAY, 6AUGUST2008 Local Government Reference Group Minutes 6 August 2008 One of the proposed State Projects is titled "Improving NRM Investment Decision Making in Western Australia" and was attached as Attachment 5.3. It is important that the SCC and its Reference Groups have a strong input to this process as it evolves, including the role of Local Government as a key partner. Recommendation 5.3: That the SCC Local Government NRM Coordinator keeps the LGRG informed on progress with the State 'Investment Decision Making' process and ensures that any LGRG comments are properly taken into account. Moved: Jeff Munn Seconded: Julie Baker Carried Jessica Sheppard noted that Local Government is represented on the State NRM Council by Jan Star and that she provides support to Jan and attends meetings. 6. LOCAL GOVERNMENT NRM FRAMEWORK One of the key tools being developed by the Local Government Reference Group is a Local Government NRM Framework to assist Local Governments in the Region to better contribute to Integrated NRM as full partners in the Metropolitan/Swan Region. Alan Lonsdale spoke to his third Progress Report (Attachment 6) and made the following points. • Referred to the aims and summary of case study steps. • Indicated that the case studies are nearly complete. • Referred to his Broad observations and said that Leadership has emerged as the critical issue. Key management positions are the CEO and a lead Director for NRM and Sustainability. • Another key issue is 'critical mass' for Local Governments to implement a LG NRM Framework. • The critical need for the State Government to acknowledge and support the proper role of Local Government in NRM. Most NRM happens on the ground with Local Government and the community. • Used specific case studies to illustrate different aspects of an NRM Framework for Local Government, particularly in relation to 'leadership and organisational culture. For example, the City of Belmont had used ISO 1400 to link its Environmental Plan to the Budget and establish a cross organisational Standing Committee for the environment. • Referred to the role of Regional Local Governments using EMRC as an example. • Went through the next steps and emphasised the need to partner with WALGA and use mentors and champions to spread the message. Meeting No 08/04 Page 5 Information Bulletin Page D-10 Information Items from the Development Services Directorate ITEMS FOR INFORMATION- LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFERENCE GROUP- MINUTES OF MEETING HELD ON WEDNESDAY, 6AUGUST2008 Local Government Reference Group Minutes 6 August 2008 GROUP DISCUSSION Alan's presentation provoked considerable discussion, including the following: • The links to biodiversity and the need for a strategic approach to this and threatened species, such as through the SCC's proposed 'Perth Biodiversity Consen/ation Plan to link Bush Forever sites to private areas of value and areas managed by Local Government. • The need for leaders in the Executive team for NRM and Sustainability. Reference was made to the difficulty some Councillors had in working with managers when there is no lead executive director. • The need for Local Government to negotiate with the State Government to get LGs role properly recognised, particularly how Local Government can work to improve the delivery of NRM on the ground. • The need for Local Government environmental managers to have more information on the practical aspects of implementing NRM. • The role of Regional LGs, particularly in creating a strategic direction for NRM across their Region and coordinating funding bids for across region programs and projects. 7. INTEGRATED WATER CYCLE MANAGEMENT MAPPING In earlier meetings, when Eric Lumsden was a member, it was agreed to gather evidence on problems being experienced by Local Government with urban and other development issues, using water issues as a driver. The aim was to prepare a briefing for the heads of key Government Agencies, especially DoW and DPI, to press for a 'high level governance and decision making process' to better link statutory planning, NRM and environmental protection. A diagram has been developed and used in briefings to illustrate this approach and is reproduced in Attachment 7. An important project agreed in partnership with the integrated Water Management Reference Group is the mapping of Integrated W&ter Cycle Management to identify the current situation form governance and policy, to coordination and capacity building for VNfater Sensitive Urban Design. This project has been jointly funded by the SCC and the Department of Water and undertaken by Lucy Sands from BlueSands Environmental. This work is nearly complete and Lucy will brief members on the form of the final report, the findings and recommendations. She will table the latest draft of her draft Report. The Chair thanked Alan for his work and the excellent presentation, noting that it had promoted considerable discussion and comment. 8. PARTNERSHIP WITH THE SWAN RIVER TRUST It is very important that the SCC works closely with the Swan River Trust (SRT), particularly in the river catchments with Local Government and community groups, to keep the Swan/Canning estuary and rivers healthy and safe and to maximise the impact of limited funding. Meeting No 08/04 Page 6 Information Bulletin Page D-11 Information Items from the Development Services Directorate ITEMS FOR INFORMA TION - LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFERENCE GROUP - MINUTES OF MEETING HELD ON WEDNESDA Y,6A UGUST2008 Local Government Reference Group Minutes 6 August 2008 As part of establishing this relationship the SCC signed a Partnership Agreement with the SRT, which is now out of date and needs renewing. A copy of a draft of the Agreement with suggested additions was provided in Attachment 8. This includes suggestions for 'Heads of Agreement', which may be a suitable mechanism to establish how the Trust and the SCC work together with the LGs in the Region. Mark Cugley briefed members on the SRT's Healthy Rivers Program using a Power Point presentation and through the briefing note out below, to explore the best ways to work with Local Government. 8.1 Healthy Rivers Program FROM: Mark Cugley, Healthy Rivers Action Plan Coordinator, Swan River Trust DATE: 6 August 2008 BACKGROUND The Healthy Rivers Program is the Swan River Trust's key initiative to improve water quality in the Swan and Canning rivers. The Healthy Rivers Program builds on the learnings and achievements of the Swan-Canning Cleanup Program by providing an integrated approach across the landscape which involves: • reducing the input of contaminants at their sources in the catchments; • intercepting pollutants as they travel through the tributaries, drains and groundwater; and • applying river intervention techniques to improve water quality. The 'catchment to coast approach' is formed through eight sub-programs: 1. Coordination 2. Healthy Catchments 3. Land Use Planning 4. Drainage Nutrient Intervention 5. Rivenban/c 6. River Health 7. Community and Partners 8. River Science With 21 local governments fronting the Swan and Canning rivers, and 4 regional councils plus another 5 Local Governments in the Swan Canning catchment, local governments are critical to the Healthy Rivers Program, particularly in the delivery of the Drainage Nutrient Intervention and Riverfcank sub-programs. However other initiatives under the Healthy Catchments, River Science and Land Use Planning sub-programs are presenting further opportunities for the Trust to work with and support local government authorities in 2008-09. The Trust, through the Healthy Rivers Program and the Swan Catchment Council, through the Swan Region Strategy for Natural Resource Management (NRM) are keen to work together with local government in a coordinated and effective manner. In addition, the SRT and SCC have a Meeting No. 08/04 Page 7 Information Bui letin Page D-12 Information Items from the Development Services Directorate ITEMS FOR INFORMATION- LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFERENCE GROUP- MINUTES OF MEETING HELD ON WEDNESDAY, 6AUGUST2008 Local Government Reference Group Minutes 6 August 2008 Partnership Agreement which emphasises the need to work together to ensure a consistent approach. The intention is to develop principles that can be included in a new Partnership Agreement between the Trust and the Swan Catchment Council. ISSUE The Trust, through the Healthy Rivers Program and the Swan Catchment Council, through the Swan Region Strategy for Natural Resource Management (NRM) are keen to work together with local government in a coordinated and effective manner. GROUP DISCUSSION • Linda briefed members on the process for establishing Partnership Agreements through the Management Sub-committee and the SCC. • Mayor Glenys Godfrey said that the Swan River Trust is under funded in terms of the needs of Local Government to manage foreshores and repair and replace river walling • Members agreed that it is important to clarify the relationship between the SCC and the SRT in how both organisations work with Local Government. This could be done in a Schedule to a new Partnership Agreement and would cover matters of mutual interest such as funding for projects, water quality improvement plans, monitoring etc. • It was suggested that representatives from the SCC attend the SRT Mayoral Fora, to understand the issues being raised and promote a more coordinated response. ACTION: It was agreed that the Local Government NRM Coordinator work with officers of the SRT through Mark Cugley to scope the elements that could be in a Local Government Schedule under a new Partnership Agreement. RECOMMENDATION That the Local Government Reference Group notes this information and provides input on how the Trust and the Swan Catchment Council can work with Local Government in a coordinated and effective manner for inclusion in a new Partnership Agreement. Moved: Elizabeth Taylor Seconded: Glenys Godfrey Carried CONFIDENTIALITY The contents of this Briefing Note are suitable for inclusion on Swan Catchment Council website: Yes IE! I No Meeting No. 08/04 Page 8 Information Bulletin Page D-13 Information Items from the Development Services Directorate ITEMS FOR INFORMA TION - LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFERENCE GROUP - MINUTES OF MEETING HELD ON WEDNESDAY, 6AUGUST2008 Local Government Reference Group Minutes 6 August 2008 9. WORKING WITH ALL LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE REGION Letters have been sent to all of the Local Governments in the Swan / Metropolitan Region and meetings are being set up. The LG NRM Coordinator reported that he had started contacting Local Governments in the Region and would report progress at each meeting of the Reference Group. Mayor Glenys Godfrey noted that this is a big job and might distract from other important work. Bruce responded that not all of the LGs would want to work with the SCC initially, so the aim is to identify the LGs who do want to engage and work with them as leaders. 10. STRATEGIC AND BUSINESS PLANS A Business Plan for the Commonwealth Government's Caring for Our Country Program will be released in September 2008. The State Government has released a draft State NRM Plan and is working on a more detailed State NRM Strategy and Investment Framework. The SCC has a Regional NRM Strategy, which needs updating and has begun a Business Plan with Integrated NRM at its centre. A draft NRM Strategy for the Swan Region LGs was prepared in 2007 but was not circulated. At the last LGRG meeting on 11 June the following recommendation was adopted: Recommendation 6: Update the LGRG NRM Strategic Plan and prepare a LGRG NRM Business Plan as a priority, to link to the Federal, State and SCC NRM Business Plans, and provide the framework for all Local Governments in the Swan Region to become full partners in Integrated NRM. This will be one of the key items discussed in the meetings with all of the LGs in the Region. Bruce would appreciate assistance from a small ad hoc working group to implement this recommendation, particularly given the experience members of the LGRG in preparation of Local Government Strategic, Business and Operational Plans. Bruce reported that Mayor James Best and Dr Shayne Silcox had agreed to provide support and asked if any of the members wanted to assist. Councillors Elizabeth Taylor and Jeff Munn said they would like to be involved. 11. OTHER BUSINESS 11.1 Coastal Planning Councillors Elizabeth Taylor and Jeff Munn noted that some planning decisions for developments near the coast had been lost on appeal because of Climate Change concerns. Meeting No. 08/04 Page 9 Information Bulletin Page D-14 Information Items from the Development Services Directorate ITEMS FOR INFORMA TION - LOCAL GOVERNMENT REFERENCE GROUP - MINUTES OF MEETING HELD ON WEDNESDAY, 6AUGUST2008 Local Government Reference Group Minutes 6 August 2008 ACTION: Members asked for a briefing from the Executive Manager on the structure of the SCC and how it operates, particularly in the context of the changed funding arrangements under State and Australian funding arrangements for NRM. 12. ITEMS FOR THE NEXT SWAN CATCHMENT COUNCIL MEETING No items were raised for the next meeting of the SCC, but it was noted that the new Partnership Agreement with the Swan River Trust would be an item for a future meeting. 13. NEXT MEETING, VENUE AND CLOSURE OF MEETING The next meeting will be at 12.00 noon to 3.00 pm on Wednesday, 15 October 2008 at the City of Stirling, 25 Cedric Street, Stirling. There being no further discussion, the Deputy Chair declared the meeting closed at 3:00 pm.

OPENING AND WELCOME Kim Fletcher welcomed the members and visitors and opened the meeting. APOLOGIES Margaret Bettenay, Joanne Harris, John Glassford and Elaine de Ruiter. DECLARATIONS OF MEMBERS' INTERESTS Nil. CONFIRMATION OF PREVIOUS MINUTES Minutes of the Meeting on 17 April 2008 were confirmed on a motion moved by Mr Holton, seconded by Cr Hart. Carried. MATTERS ARISING FROM MINUTES (NOT ADDRESSED IN GENERAL BUSINESS) Winding Gear From Dale Cottages There was a brief discussion about this item. Mr Carder advised that the Grove in Dale Cottages was not Public Open space but private land. He said he had not yet followed up on the matter of interpretive signage with Council or Dale Cottages. River Road Historic Precinct Mr Carder advised that the River Road Historic Precinct had been considered by Council at its meeting on 22 April 2008 and it was resolved that it become a supplementary site for the commissioning of a detailed heritage assessment to make recommendations for the historic precinct to establish design guidelines, landscape guidelines, interpretive materials and recommend other mechanisms that would enhance and preserve the historic importance of the nature of the River Road Precinct. Council had resolved to include Lot 26 Clifton Street in the Precinct area with the rest of the area then including both sides of River Road from the Three Logs river crossing to the property at 24 Brookton Highway. Information Bulletin Page D-16 Information Items from the Development Services Directorate ITEMS FOR INFORMATION - MINUTES - COMMUNITY HERITAGE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON THURSDA Y, 19 JUNE 2008 cont'd... The Precinct had not been commissioned as yet as it was likely that tenders would have to be called to meet Local Government Act requirements. This was also dependent on the new budget. Mr Carder also mentioned that Palassis Architects had been commissioned to undertake a detailed heritage study on the Convict Road. Palassis had been having trouble finding a historian but now had someone who would be able to commence the work in August or September. Council had also resolved that the Thomas Buckingham House Ruins were to be considered for a detailed heritage study and possible entry into the MHI in the future. Tognolini Residence - 3157 Albany Highway, Armadale Mr Windass advised that there was no further information from Australand Holdings Pty Ltd on the proposed development, or the removal of the house, at this stage. GENERAL BUSINESS 1. Nurse McKimmie-Scott's Residence Committee Members had appreciated the opportunity to inspect Nurse McKimmie-Scott's Residence on 21 May 2008. Nurse Mckimmie-Scott's Residence is one of the oldest residences in the area, being built around 1900 and being originally occupied by Nurse McKimmie-Scott. It was later the residence of Walter Haynes, the first rector of the Anglican Church in the district. It is an attractive building exhibiting characteristics typical of the Federation era, including ornate timber detailing, dominant roof forms and a spreading verandah on three sides. It occupies a prominent and visible position in the streetscape to the west of the railway line and is an important inclusion in the City's Municipal Heritage Inventory. There is white ant damage evident inside. Following discussion it was agreed that CHAC recommends to Council that: Moving the building is preferable to demolition but should only be considered as a last resort. Whilst moving retains the physical structure, the building loses its link to the historical and heritage fabric of the place. In view of the likely length of time before road works commence, and the possibility that plans may change in the fiiture. Council consider retaining the building at its present site and repairing and upgrading the house to a suitable standard with the intention of renting or leasing the premises for commercial or community purposes. To this end, Council enquire whether the Lotteries Commission may have funding options to assist in the repair of the building to maintain its heritage potential and fulfil a continuing role in the Armadale district as a commercial rental property. Consideration could be given to the preparation of a business plan to justify Council's input into the building and the financial viability of renting or leasing for commercial purposes. Information Bulletin Page D-17 Information Items from the Development Services Directorate ITEMS FOR INFORMATION - MINUTES - COMMUNITY HERITAGE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON THURSDA Y, 19 JUNE 2008 cont'd... Nurse McKimmie-Scott's Residence is considered to be an important and integral part of Armadale's historical and social fabric and one that the Community wishes to preserve. CHAC expressed its regret that alternative alignments of the Railway Avenue/Abbey Road conjunction, to work the road around the Lot and retain the building, had not been further considered to design an imaginative solution and preserve the house where it stands. 2. Municipal Heritage Inventory Review Mr Carder advised that following Council's resolution of 28 April 2008 to adopt the MHI (with amendments outlined in that and previous reports), the material had been referred to Palassis Architects to complete the final version of the MHI for consideration. At this stage no firm date for the completion had been advised. 3. Proposed Thai Restaurant at Pioneer Village Committee Members had appreciated the opportunity to inspect the building at Pioneer Village on 4 June 2008 and discuss aspects of the proposal with the owner, Natapom Copeland, and builder, Greg Diver. Mr Diver had since provided a good-sized sample of the Heritage Red Colorbond for Members to inspect at tonight's meeting and it was agreed that, as it had been thought at the inspection, Members were satisfied the colour would not be out of place at Pioneer Village. Mr Fletcher said he would like to see the Colorbond attached over the shingles (i.e. the shingles be retained under the Colorbond if possible). OTHER MATTERS ARISING Nil. INFORMATION ITEMS: Wirra Willa Gardens Members expressed their delight at the Heritage Council of Western Australia's consideration of Wirra Willa Gardens for the State's Register of Heritage Places. It was regrettable that the property could not be purchased as a public property and maintained by public funds but State recognition and protection appeared to be the next best option. It was noted that there was some inconsistency through the report in the spelling of the word "Neerigen". It was agreed that there had been a number of different variations over the years but it was considered that the current "Neerigen" would perhaps be best used throughout. It was noted by Mr Fletcher that the wording at the bottom of page 10 (referring to Mary Hargreaves association with Araluen) should perhaps read she "was instrumental in campaigning to have Araluen Botanic Park restored (rather than created) in 1990". Information Bulletin Page D-18 Information Items from the Development Services Directorate ITEMS FOR INFORMATION - MINUTES - COMMUNITY HERITAGE ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON THURSDA Y, 19 JUNE 2008 cont'd... Cr Hart asked that the Heritage Council's Wirra Willa report be published in the Information Bulletin for all Councillors to peruse. Memorial Plaques for Families The contribution of Mr Harold Frank "Jim" Pyke to the district was acknowledged. He was mentioned prominently in the interpretive signage at Migrant Park. CHAC was not considered to be most appropriate group to consider the matter of such plaques (perhaps the Public History Advisory Group may be more appropriate). It was suggested that the Pyke name could be memorialised in a road or park. Review of Advisory Committees and Groups Mr Carder advised that a consultant had been engaged by the City to review the efficacy of Advisory Committees and he had been interviewed recently for his perception on how well CHAC functioned. Mr Carder said he thought the Committee worked very well together and that he felt most Members would feel they could have an effective input into discussion and resolutions in the current format. He thought that if the meetings were to be strangled with red tape and procedure, the Committee would not function as well and Members could feel disenfranchised. Mr Carder said that the consultant may be approaching some of the Community Members for their views on how they felt CHAC functioned. Acknowledgements Members noted with sorrow the passing of Frank Green, a tireless community worker and a previous CHAC Member, and Verity Allan, a Board Member of the Armadale Redevelopment Authority and great supporter of the Armadale district. NEXT MEETING The next meeting is to be held at 7.00pm on Thursday 21 August 2008 in Council's Committee Room. With no further business, the Meeting was closed at 8:25 pm.
