Looking back from the security of a firmly grounded present, the road seems straight and well marked. The journey that is reconstructed is one where the end point is always known, where uncertainties and diversions are forgotten — a journey that lands neatly on the institution’s front doorstep. Institu- tional histories are often burdened, too, by the expectation that they will not merely tell a story, but provide a record of achieve- ment. Written for the institution’s staff, as well as broader public, they can become bogged down in the details of personnel and projects.

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

Watson Research Center University of the Witwatersrand Yorktown Heights, New York Johannesburg United States South Africa Cover Photo: Set within 120 hectares of land with luxuriant and rare vegetation in the Seychelles Archipelago, the Constance Ephelia Hotel was selected as the venue for the Block-Elmegreen Conference held in May 2014. Seen in our cover photograph are one of the restaurants frequented by delegates - the Corossol Restaurant. The restaurant is surrounded by pools of tranquil waters; lamps blaze forth before dinner, and their reflections in the sur- rounding waters are breathtaking. The color blue is everywhere: from the azure blue skies above, to the waters below. Above the Corossol Restaurant is placed a schematic of a spiral galaxy. From macrocosm to microcosm. Never before has an astronomy group of this size met in the Seychelles. The cover montage was especially designed for the Conference, by the IT-Department at the Constance Ephelia Hotel.

The current enrolment quota for the Australian Capital Territory was determined by the Electoral Commissioner to be 119,503. 2. As far as practicable, the Redistribution Committee will ensure that the number of electors enrolled in each electoral division at 20 January 2022 (the projection time) will not deviate by more than 3.5 per cent above or below the projected enrolment quota of 122,731. 3. Give due consideration, in relation to each proposed Electoral Division, to: (i) community of interests within the proposed Electoral Division, including economic, social and regional interests; (ii) means of communication and travel within the proposed Electoral Division; (iv) the physical features and area of the proposed Electoral Division; and (v) the boundaries of existing Divisions in the State or Territory 4.

It is pretty wonderful to be part of a community that has taken the lead nationally to recognise the importance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ histories and culture. This year’s theme for National Reconciliation Week is Don’t Keep History a Mystery. This week classes will be inquiring into a variety of elements related to this theme in their classes with Wynetta and creating a shared artwork. I encourage you to talk to your children about Reconciliation Day, and how it commemorates the 1967 Referendum where 90% of Australians voted to include Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples into the census and enable the government to make laws for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. PUBLIC SPEAKING We held our school Rostrum final last Wednesday morning and were impressed with the high calibre of presentations. It was fantastic to see students from Years 3—6 confidently present their speeches to a nearly whole school audience, with many community members also attending.
