Appendix 3G Further Perspectives on the Financial Benefits of Local Government Amalgamations
3G-1 Appendix 3G Further Perspectives on the Financial Benefits of Local Government Amalgamations Appendix 3G has five sections which support the section in Chapter 3 on estimates of the financial benefits of local government amalgamations. The first section further examines the KPMG estimates that savings of up to $845 million per annum could be achieved in NSW through local government amalgamations. This first section also includes a critique of the KPMG estimates by Judith McNeill. The second section presents a Darwinian survival perspective to the debate on the preferred sizes of local governments. The third section briefly discusses the self-limiting effect whereby the strength of the argument in favour of local government amalgamations must in some senses diminish with each successfully achieved amalgamation. The fourth section, in Table 3G-3, provides a compilation of extracts from 113 Australian and international literature sources which provide valuable insights on the local government amalgamation debate generally and which appear to provide important lessons for this current study. KPMG's Financial Benefit Estimates Consultants KPMG explored four local government amalgamation options, and establishes estimates of cost savings possible through each of these options, in a 1998 report prepared for the Property Council of NSW. Table 3G-1 below summarises the key findings in this report, where savings estimates are based on 1995-96 data.

Hello members and friends. I am pleased and privileged to have been elected president of AGSHV Inc. for 2016. This is an exciting challenge to be chosen for this role. Hopefully I have followed on from where Brian has left off as he has left big shoes to fill. Brian and Leonie decided to relinquish their long held posts as President and Treasurer (respectively) after many years of unquestionable service to our society, which might I say, was carried out with great efficiency and grace. They have set a high standard. Thank you Brian and Leonie. We also welcomed a new Vice President, Richard Bale and new Treasurer John Hyslop. Although change has come to the executive committee the drive for excellence has not been diminished. Brian is still very involved with organising and running activities as if nothing has changed. The “What Rock Is That” teaching day Brian and Ron conducted (which ended up running over 2 days) at Brian’s home was an outstanding success. Everyone had samples of rocks, with Brian and Ron explaining the processes involved in how these rocks would have formed, and how to identify each sample, along with copious written notes and diagrams. -
A History in Three Rivers
A History in Three Rivers Dungog Shire Heritage Study Thematic History April 2012 Michael Williams Gresford Crossing source: Dungog Shire Heritage Study, Karskens, 1986 Ships at Clarence Town source: Dungog Shire Heritage Study Karskens, 1986 Mill on the Allyn River source: Dungog Shire Heritage Study, Karskens, 1986 carste STUDIO Pty Ltd Architects and Heritage Consultants ADDENDUM TO THEMATIC HISTORY 1 DUNGOG HISTORICAL SOCIETY INC COMMENTS ON ‘A HISTORY IN THREE RIVERS’ JANUARY 2014 The Dungog Historical Society makes the following observations for your consideration. They are intended to enhance the project. One of the general observations is ‘A History in Three Rivers’ is largely about wealthier or prominent males their roles and their activities. Professor Glenda Strachan has carried out detailed research on Dungog highlighting the role of women and children in poorer farming families. Because of the nature of the research it also gives insights into life for poorer rural men. See, for example ‘Women’s Work is Never Done” The intersection of Work and Family’ 2004http://www.griffith.edu.au/?a=314657 accessed 10 January 2014, G Strachan, E Jordan, H Carey, ‘Women’s Work in a Rural Community: Dungog and the Upper Williams Valley 1880- 1900’ Labour History No 78, 28 May 2000, p 7 and G Strachan ‘Assumed but Rarely Documented: Women’s Entrepreneurial Activities in Late Ninetieth Country Australia’ www.historycooperative.org/proceedings/asslh/strachan accessed 13/9/2006 p7 Second paragraph reference to Barton – the point of the visit was electioneering for his seat of Hunter, which included Dungog. The first elections were held later in the year and he was elected unopposed. -
Cadastral Integrity Loss from Riparian Boundaries
Proceedings of the 24th Association of Public Authority Surveyors Conference (APAS2019) Pokolbin, New South Wales, Australia, 1-3 April 2019 Cadastral Integrity Loss from Riparian Boundaries Geoff Songberg Crown Lands (Retired) [email protected] ABSTRACT The loss of cadastral integrity is not something that would be expected in today’s systems of record keeping and enforced regulations that surveyors must adhere to in order to contribute to the cadastre. But there are some areas of the cadastre that are not reliable, and indeed wrong, despite all efforts to ensure that the records are correct. One area where the integrity of the cadastre can degrade is around riparian boundaries. By virtue of their ambulatory nature and the ways in which our cadastral system deals with that ambulatory nature, the end result of not dealing correctly with riparian boundaries can create issue with the integrity of the cadastre. Combine the impacts of ambulatory boundaries with the effects of poor and inappropriate management practices in the record keeping of the cadastre, then the integrity of the cadastre can be severely compromised. This paper shows that ignorance, or negation, of the rules pertaining to riparian boundaries can have a destabilising effect on the integrity of the cadastre. KEYWORDS: Cadastral integrity loss, riparian boundaries. 1 INTRODUCTION Everyone has a stake in the cadastre, from individual property owners, Government and its agencies to information seekers data mining the wealth of attached attributes so they can make critical decisions on investment, infrastructure and development. It is not an unreasonable hypothesis that all these people would expect the cadastre to be of a reasonably high quality and that it is maintained in such a condition. -
Goulburn River National Park and Munghorn Gap Nature Reserve
1 GOULBURN RIVER NATIONAL PARK AND MUNGHORN GAP NATURE RESERVE PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service February 2003 2 This plan of management was adopted the Minister for the Environment on 6th February 2003. Acknowledgments: This plan was prepared by staff of the Mudgee Area of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The assistance of the steering committee for the preparation of the plan of management, particularly Ms Bev Smiles, is gratefully acknowledged. In addition the contributions of the Upper Hunter District Advisory Committee, the Blue Mountains Region Advisory Committee, and those people who made submissions on the draft plan of management are also gratefully acknowledged. Cover photograph of the Goulburn River by Michael Sharp. Crown Copyright 2003: Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgment. 3 ISBN 0 7313 6947 5 4 FOREWORD Goulburn River National Park, conserving approximately 70 161 hectares of dissected sandstone country, and the neighbouring Munghorn Gap Nature Reserve with its 5 935 hectares of sandstone pagoda formation country, both protect landscapes, biology and cultural sites of great value to New South Wales. The national park and nature reserve are located in a transition zone of plants from the south-east, north-west and western parts of the State. The Great Dividing Range is at its lowest elevation in this region and this has resulted in the extension of many plants species characteristic of further west in NSW into the area. In addition a variety of plant species endemic to the Sydney Sandstone reach their northern and western limits in the park and reserve. -

The factors are interacting; the fabric of the past is closely woven. In this attempt to understand the Shire's past, and thus its present landscapes and material culture, the subject has been divided into nine themes focusing on key aspects of the Shire's development, and these themes are interrelated in order to reflect the past holistically, as a "fabric". -

You Can Download the NSW Caring Fairly Toolkit Here!
A TOOLKIT: How carers in NSW can advocate for change www.caringfairly.org.au Caring Fairly is represented in NSW by: www.facebook.com/caringfairlycampaign @caringfairly @caringfairly WHO WE ARE Caring Fairly is a national campaign led by unpaid carers and specialist organisations that support and advocate for their rights. Launched in August 2018 and coordinated by Mind Australia, Caring Fairly is led by a coalition of over 25 carer support organisations, NGOs, peak bodies, and carers themselves. In NSW, Caring Fairly is represented by Mental Health Carers NSW, Carers NSW and Flourish Australia. We need your support, and invite you to join the Caring Fairly coalition. Caring Fairly wants: • A fairer deal for Australia’s unpaid carers • Better economic outcomes for people who devote their time to supporting and caring for their loved ones • Government policies that help unpaid carers balance paid work and care, wherever possible • Politicians to understand what’s at stake for unpaid carers going into the 2019 federal election To achieve this, we need your help. WHY WE ARE TAKING ACTION Unpaid carers are often hidden from view in Australian politics. There are almost 2.7 million unpaid carers nationally. Over 850,000 people in Australia are the primary carer to a loved one with disability. Many carers, understandly, don’t identify as a ‘carer’. Caring Fairly wants visibility for Australia’s unpaid carers. We are helping to build a new social movement in Australia to achieve this. Unpaid carers prop up Australian society. Like all Australians, unpaid carers have a right to a fair and decent quality of life. -
