  • Section C C.1 Risk Management and Internal Audit
    Section C C.1 Risk Management and Internal Audit Internal Audit The Directorate’s Audit Committee oversees, on behalf of the Director-General, the Directorate’s governance, risk, compliance and internal control environments, and provides assurance as to their effectiveness. The Committee acts independently of management. The EDD Audit Committee Charter was reviewed and agreed (with only minor amendments) in November 2012. There were no changes to the membership of the Audit Committee during the financial year. Annual and forward audit programs are guided by governance, risk and compliance programs and are supported by an Audit Recommendations Implementation Register. The Directorate’s three-year internal audit program was agreed by the Senior Executive Committee and by the Audit Committee in November 2012, with the program including a balance of compliance and performance audits across the three years. A significant matter of interest for the EDD Audit Committee during this reporting year was the implementation of recommendations identified by the Auditor-General during the 2011-12 financial audit, to improve the control framework in place within the Directorate. By the end of the 2012-13 reporting year the majority of recommendations had been addressed and completed. The Audit Committee specifically congratulated the relevant areas of the Directorate on their work in documenting and improving governance and control processes. Four internal audits were completed during the reporting year, with a further three internal audits undertaken but not yet complete at the end of the year. The internal audits completed and presented to the EDD Audit Committee during the 2012-13 reporting year were: • Follow Up Audit – Territory Venues and Events – November 2012 • Review of credit card usage – May 2013 • Review of the payment of invoices – May 2013 • Review of salary acquittal reports – June 2013 The EDD Audit Committee met on six occasions during 2012-13.

  • Ballpark FAQS
    Ballpark FAQS How will parking be improved as part of this upgrade? The ACT Government has introduced parking restrictions in the area surrounding the Ballpark along Goyder Street on game days to relieve traffic congestion and to minimise disruption to local residents. Active Canberra has already undertaken a traffic and parking assessment for the sporting precinct, and will work with Roads ACT to make improvements to the current parking arrangements including the formalisation of Kyeema Street. How will noise be addressed? As the Ballpark is in a residential area, the ACT Government understands the importance of keeping noise to acceptable levels, and is looking at how we can ensure disruption to residents in the immediate vicinity is minimised. Although crowd noise is not regulated under the Environment Protection Act 1997 [Section 8 (1) (c)], noise mitigation (i.e. music, PA system) will be a consideration as part of the design. We will be looking at the acoustics of the venue, along with the PA systems to make sure they are installed in the most efficient manner possible to minimise noise spill to near neighbours. In addition, Active Canberra will work with the Canberra Cavalry in developing a Noise and Light Management Plan for the Ballpark. Approval of the plan by the Environment Protection Agency will be sought to ensure it meets all regulatory requirements. Active Canberra will also introduce a curfew, commencing in the 2016/17 season, at the Ballpark that will introduce a restriction on how late games can be played at the venue. The Australian Baseball League (ABL) has also recently introduced new rules for ABL games that assists in reducing the length of games if extra innings are required.

  • Art Song Canberra Annual Report 2006
    Art Song Canberra Inc. www.artsongcanberra.org SEASON OF SONG 2015 In 2015 Art Song Canberra will present seven recitals of fine art song by an outstanding array of award-winning, highly-accomplished artists, many of them widely experienced on the world stage. Background Art Song Canberra was founded as the A.C.T. Lieder Society in 1976 by a small group of devotees led by Eleanor Houston OAM of Covent Garden fame. Its purpose is to foster and extend the love of art song. This is done mainly by: presenting the Season of Song, an annual series of high quality concerts, to its members and the general public; providing development opportunities such as masterclasses for talented amateur singers; conducting Members’ Soirées, gatherings of members to sing and play together in a social setting, in the manner of the earliest Lieder societies; and awarding the Art Song Canberra Prize for supreme achievement in art song in the Open sections of the Singing Division of the Australian National Eisteddfod. In each year of its life the society has presented a series art song recitals. The great majority of the society’s artists have been highly accomplished both in Australia and internationally. Singers have included such noted Australians as Eleanor Houston, Michael Martin, Sally-Anne Russell, Greta Bradman, Merlyn Quaife, Tobias Cole, Christopher Allan, Louise Page and Christina Wilson. Overseas-based singers have included Susan Burghardt (USA), Tanya Aspelmeier, Knut Schoch, Erwin Belakowitsch and Australian Sally Wilson (Germany), Rebecca Ryan (New Zealand), Thomas Weinhappel (Austria) and Bruce Cain (USA) who appeared with guitarist David Asbury.

  • 2 a Message from CCS President, Alison White I Warmly Welcome You to the Albert Hall and Our Performance Which Celebrates This L
    A Message from CCS President, Alison White I warmly welcome you to the Albert Hall and our performance which celebrates this lovely venue and relives some of the great concerts which were held here in Canberra’s early years. There is something for everyone in this afternoon’s concert and I would like to acknowledge all the talented local Canberra artists who have contributed to the program and of course our creative and talented conductor and Artistic Director, Tobias Cole. I would also like to thank the very hard-working members of the Canberra Choral Society committee and choir members who devote hours of their time to the choir and without whose hard work we could not possibly put on these performances. The Canberra Choral Society relies in major part on funding from ticket sales and donations and I gratefully acknowledge those donors who have so generously supported this concert. You too can choose to support us and by doing so help us to present high quality and creative performances for Canberra audiences. All donations to the Canberra Choral Society are tax deductible. Our next performance will be the Australian premiere on period instruments of the Handel oratorio Theodora, with acclaimed soprano Greta Bradman, guest conductor Brett Weymark from Sydney Philharmonia Choirs and our own Tobias Cole, along with many other talented musicians and singers. This concert will be performed in the Canberra Playhousea first for the CCS and a really exciting venture. We look forward to seeing you in the audience on Sunday 23 June. In the meantime I hope you enjoy today’s entertaining program.
