    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.

    Canberra is recognised as one of the world’s most successful examples of planned city development. In sixty years it has grown from a collection of surveyors’ tents to Australia’s largest inland city. Because it has developed so rapidly most of Canberra’s 200,000 citizens were born elsewhere. This book attempts to capture some aspects of life in Canberra — the buildings, the seasons, people at work and play, the countryside — so that residents of the national capital can give an impression of its moods and lifestyle to relatives and friends far away.

    Dulci Tomes 2008

    Dulci Tomes Newsletter of the Carillon Society of Australia No. 34 June 2008 FROM THE EDITOR Welcome to Dulci Tomes No.34. At our last meeting a one minute silence was observed to honour the memory of our past member and colleague Suzanne. We mourn her passing. It was much too soon, she was much too young and had much yet to do. We also acknowledged the superb job done by our immediate past President Dr. Jill Forrest. Jill, a conscientious and effective President, has left us a wonderful legacy. Two Professional Development segments were part of our April meeting. We appreciated the presentations, one by Rosemary Richards and the other by Timothy Hurd. They are reproduced here, having been transcribed by Bethwyn Joy and then refined by Rosemary & Timothy. Carillonists expressed a wish that they be part of Dulci Tomes and so here they are. The new Chamber Carillon, featured in this edition, is of particular interest. Australian Carillonists have no opportunity to experience different pedal alignments and so we go overseas gaining what experience we can in very small time frames. We are just too far away. An instrument with an adjustable pedal keyboard is long overdue. Turn to the article (pge 7) to learn about the instrument and a symposium being held in Løgomkloster during July/August 2009. My address for correspondence is: 54 Tempe Crescent, Googong. N.S.W. 2620.

    100 Volunteer STORIES www.volunteeringact.org.au © Volunteering ACT Inc 2013. December 2013 Celebrating the contribution of Canberra’s Volunteers Proudly sponsored by Beyond Bank Australia FOREWORD BY MAUREEN CANE Chief Executive Officer of Volunteering ACT Australia’s capital has a proud record for volunteering since it was founded. Services to the swiftly growing population were often first provided by volunteers. Volunteering is now in Canberra’s DNA, with many of her citizens, young and old and from all walks of life, actively volunteering at any one time. This book tells some of their stories — of care for others, of courage, of generosity and of application of skills and expertise. The stories are a testimony to the excellent work of Canberra’s community-based organisations and to the selfless contribution of individuals towards the general good. One such story, of the generous application of expertise, is from Sarah Wilson, the volunteer who compiled this book for Volunteering ACT! All the stories are a fitting legacy for Canberra’s Centenary year and engender a sure and certain confidence that our Maureen Cane, Volunteering ACT CEO future is in good hands. AUSTRALIA’S CAPITAL has a proud record for volunteering since it was founded. Services to the swiftly growing population were often firstprovided by volunteers. FOREWORD BY MARY PORTER Member of the ACT Legislative Assembly and Founder of Volunteering ACT As we all know the ACT has one of the highest rates of volunteering in Australia. When I arrived in the ACT in 1977 I was introduced to the communities training program that was sponsored by the Mental Health arm of the, then, Health Commission and supported by ACTOSS & Lifeline ACT.

Within the labyrinthine corridors of Sasa Sestic’s coffee company Ona, in Canberra’s industrial enclave of Fyshwick, we reverentially take a seat in the main office. In comes someone carrying a tray containing glass jugs of deep brown brew. No words are spoken as Sasa puts his nose to the first jug and inhales deeply. “This”, he announces, “is Blue Copper–one of our experimental lots from Ethiopia.” We sip slowly and find ourselves swirling the suspension over our tastebuds. There are hints of red wine and dark chocolate. Our heavy pottery cups drain and it is time for the second brew—a washed Panama bean that is light with jasmine with a hint of green tea. Who knew coffee could be so complex? Sasa does. His good friend Mick Rose—also in the coffee trade—says Sasa is so deeply connected to coffee, so emotionally invested, so single- minded and obsessive, that one sip of an exceptional roast can bring him to tears. “Oh yeah, I have seen him cry when he drinks it,” says Mick. Sasa has also been known to travel for days to find a particular coffee bush—35 hours in planes, 10 hours of driving followed by several hours on horseback, through thick jungle.

    The Works Approval Process

    3 The works approval process Introduction 3.1 This chapter outlines the steps that Immigration Bridge Australia (IBA) would be required to follow in seeking consideration under the National Capital Authority (NCA) administered works approval process. Further discussion on whether the assessment of the bridge proposal may be required under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (the EPBC Act) is included. Indicative timelines for these assessments are also discussed. Particular focus is given to the consultation that would be required to accompany the proposal under each process. Lastly, the maintenance of gifting assets is discussed. Background 3.2 Designated Areas categorised under the National Capital Plan (NCP) embody the special characteristics of the national capital and so are preserved and enhanced in accordance with their character. 3.3 Further, under the requirements of the Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988 (Cwlth) (the PALM Act), any works in a Designated Area are subject to approval by the NCA. 3.4 As the suggested location for the proposed bridge lies within a Designated Area, it is subject to the NCA administered works approval process. 3.5 In addition, as the proposed bridge may have a significant impact on Commonwealth land, it may also be subject to an additional assessment 34 INQUIRY INTO THE IMMIGRATION BRIDGE PROPOSAL by the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA) under the EPBC Act. 3.6 Assessment of the IBA proposal through
