    Local Government Boundaries Commission 1. Summary of Local Government Boundaries Commission comments The Boundaries Commission has reviewed the Delegate’s Report on the proposed merger of Pittwater Council and part of Warringah Council to determine whether it shows the legislative process has been followed and the Delegate has taken into account all the factors required under the Local Government Act 1993 (the Act). The Commission has assessed that: the Delegate’s Report shows that the Delegate has undertaken all the processes required by section 263 of the Act, the Delegate’s Report shows that the Delegate has adequately considered all the factors required by section 263(3) of the Act, with the exception of the factors listed under subsections 263(3)(e2) (employment impacts) and 263(3)(e5) (diverse communities), and the Delegate’s recommendation in relation to the proposed merger is supported by the Delegate’s assessment of these factors. 2. Summary of the merger proposal On 6 January 2016, the Minister for Local Government referred a proposal to merge the local government areas of Pittwater Council and part of Warringah Council to the Acting Chief Executive of the Office of Local Government for examination and report under the Act.

  • Communication Licence Rent

    Communication Licence Rent

    Communication licences Fact sheet Communication licence rent In November 2018, the NSW Premier had the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) undertake a review of Rental arrangements for communication towers on Crown land. In November 2019, IPART released its final report to the NSW Government. To provide certainty to tenure holders while the government considers the report, implementation of any changes to the current fee structure will apply from the next renewal or review on or after 1 July 2021. In the interim, all communication tenures on Crown land will be managed under the 2013 IPART fee schedule, or respective existing licence conditions, adjusted by the consumer price index where applicable. In July 2014, the NSW Government adopted all 23 recommendations of the IPART 2013 report, including a rental fee schedule. Visit www.ipart.nsw.gov.au to see the IPART 2013 report. Density classification and rent calculation The annual rent for communication facilities located on a standard site depends on the type of occupation and the location of the facilities. In line with the IPART 2013 report recommendations, NSW is divided into four density classifications, and these determine the annual rent for each site. Table 1 defines these classifications. Annexure A further details the affected local government areas and urban centres and localities (UCLs) of the classifications. Figure 1 shows the location of the classifications. A primary user of a site who owns and maintains the communication infrastructure will incur the rent figures in Table 2. A co-user of a site will be charged rent of 50% that of a primary user.

Both parks form part of a system of conservation areas representing environs of the northern granite belt of the New England Tablelands. The two parks and the adjoining Girraween National Park in Queensland are of regional conservation significance as they provide protection for the most diverse range of plant and animal communities found in the granite belt, as well as several species and communities endemic to the area. They also contain spectacular landscape features such as Bald Rock, a huge granite dome, and the magnificent Boonoo Boonoo Falls, both of which are major visitor attractions to the area.
