(2) How many of these agencies are described as "faith based" agencies? (3) What are the business names of these faith based agencies? Answer— (1) There are three approved agencies who provide adoption services; Barnados, Anglicare and Centacare Adoption Services (CatholicCare). (2) Two. (3) Anglicare and CatholicCare. *11167HEAVY PLANT CERTIFICATIONS—Mr Greg Aplin asked the Minister for Police, and Minister for Finance— Following the Cross-Border forum held in Albury in September 2009 what progress has been made on the proposal to remove licensing requirements for four types of loadshifting machinery which require certification in NSW but not in Victoria? Answer— I am advised that Safe Work Australia completed a review of the four loadshifting classes not included in the National Standard for Licensing Persons Performing High Risk Work and determined they do not meet the required benchmark for high-risk work. Therefore they will not be included in the Standard. I further advised that as a result of this determination, WorkCover will be extending the interim strategy for these classes until 31 December 2011 when the new national model work health and safety legislation is due to take effect. This means operators will continue to be required to hold a state-based certificate of competency to operate this equipment in New South Wales and may be assessed by a WorkCover accredited assessor without the requirement to enrol in a course of training. *11168NEW PROPERTY FEE/TAX—Mr Greg Aplin asked the Minister for the State Plan, and Minister for Community Services representing the Minister for Planning, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Lands— Following the Government's recent announcement of a new property fee⁄tax: (1) What is the estimate of the number of properties likely to be affected by this new tax in the Albury Local Government Area? (2) What is the estimate of the number of properties likely to be affected by this new tax in the Greater Hume Shire Local Government Area? (3) What is the estimate of the number of properties likely to be affected in the Corowa Shire Local Government Area? (4) What is the estimate of the number of properties likely to be affected in the Tumbarumba Shire Local Government Area? (5) Given that this new fee⁄tax will be based on current property valuations by the Valuer-General's office, what is Treasury's estimate of fees to be receipted from the above Local Government areas under this new tax? Answer— (1) The estimate of the number of properties likely to be affected by the "ad valorem" component of the Torrens Assurance levy in the Albury Local Government Area is 68. (2) The estimate of the number of properties likely to be affected by the "ad valorem" component of the Torrens Assurance levy in the Greater Hume Shire Local Government Area is 25. (3) The estimate of the number of properties likely to be affected by the "ad valorem" component of the Torrens Assurance levy in the Corowa Shire Local Government Area is 10. (4) The estimate of the number of properties likely to be affected by the "ad valorem" component of the Torrens Assurance levy in the Tumbarumba Shire Local Government Area is 4. (5) The ad valorem fee is not based on property valuations by the Valuer General's office. • For transfers where the purchase price is more than $500,000 but not more than $1,000,000, the ad valorem levy is 0.2% of the amount by which the purchase price exceeds $500,000. 10828 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS TUESDAY 19 OCTOBER 2010 • For transfers where the purchase price is more than $1,000,000, the levy is $1000.00 plus 0.25% of the amount by which the purchase price exceeds $1,000,000. It is not based on property valuations by the Valuer General's office. The property valuation is the value of the land only and excludes all buildings, structures and any other improvements on the land. *11169NPWS VISITOR INFORMATION CENTRE AT KHANCOBAN—Mr Greg Aplin asked the Minister for Climate Change and the Environment, and Minister Assisting the Minister for Health (Cancer)— (1) What progress has been made on construction of the NPWS Visitor Information Centre at Khancoban? (2) Is the Minister aware that Tumbarumba Shire Council has budgeted $500,000 for this project and that there has been no indication from Government of a schedule since announcement of the new centre? (3) What staffing plans are proposed for the new visitor information centre? Answer— I am advised that: (1) The State Property Authority was engaged to manage the design process for a new Area Office building which will incorporate a tourist information kiosk. Architectural plans have now been submitted to the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW). (2) Tumbarumba Shire Council has discussed two alternative funding models with DECCW. One model, estimated at $500,000, would see Tumbarumba Shire Council fund construction of the building with DECCW paying rent to Council under a lease arrangement for 20 years. At the end of 20 years ownership of the property would revert to DECCW. The other model under consideration is for DECCW to fund the building construction. DECCW and Council met recently to reaffirm mutual interest in both options. (3) The public information section of the proposed building will have an emphasis on information being available 24 hours a day, on a self serve basis. Information promoting destinations and services within Kosciuszko National Park and the local region will be available even when the office is closed.

The sale of this property will be the responsibility of the Teacher Housing Authority of NSW. No decision has been reached as yet in relation to the disposal of the school site. *11171FUNDING TO COMBAT EXPECTED LOCUST PLAGUE—Mr Greg Aplin asked the Minister for Primary Industries, Minister for Emergency Services, and Minister for Rural Affairs— Given the Premier's announcement of $18.5 million to combat the expected locust plague, the worst in 30 years: (1) What was the expenditure on the locust plague of 2008? (2) Is this funding level considered adequate to meet this season's locust plague challenge? (3) Why has Victoria allocated $44 million to address the issue in a primary production area considerably smaller than that of NSW? Answer— (1) I am advised, expenditure on locust management for the 2008-09 locust season was $4.7 million. 10829 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS TUESDAY 19 OCTOBER 2010 (2) Based on infestation estimates and past experience, $18.5 million is considered adequate for the 2010-11 NSW locust control program. (3) Victoria manages locust outbreaks differently to NSW, making a direct comparison of funding commitment inappropriate.

  • Improving Flood Evacuation Planning Through Flood Modelling and Stakeholder Involvement
    KNOWING WHEN TO GET THEM OUT - IMPROVING FLOOD EVACUATION PLANNING THROUGH FLOOD MODELLING AND STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT T Anderson1, M Stubbs2, K McAndrew1 1 Clarence Valley Council, NSW 2 State Emergency Service, NSW Abstract Floods are not new to Grafton, nor to the Clarence River. But the approach to planning and responding to floods has changed significantly in recent years. This paper discusses these changes, particularly how these changes have already and will continue to result in improved flood management and security for the City of Grafton. Specific reference will be made to the different approach taken in the 2013 flood compared to other recent flood events like in 2001 and 2009. In 2012 Council’s consultants completed a levee overtopping assessment for Grafton. The objectives of the assessment were to identify the locations where the levee is likely to initially overtop, evaluate the flood risk within Grafton following overtopping, provide detailed emergency response information for levee overtopping events, and assess potential measures which may reduce the flood risks within Grafton. On the 29th of January 2013, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) forecast flood levels at the Prince St gauge in Grafton would reach 8.1m, the highest recording since installation of the river gauge. The recently completed flood modelling suggested that a flood of that level would result in minor overtopping of parts of the Grafton levee, and levels over this reach had the potential to inundate up to 1/3 of Grafton, being over 900 properties. This BOM prediction proved quite accurate, with the flood level in the Clarence River reaching 8.08m.

  • Spring Edition – No: 48
    Spring Edition – No: 48 2015 Commonwealth Vocational Education Scholarship 2015. I was awarded with the Premier Teaching Scholarship in Vocational Education and Training for 2015. The purpose of this study tour is to analyse and compare the Vocational Education and Training (Agriculture/Horticulture/Primary Industries) programs offered to school students in the USA in comparison to Australia and how these articulate or prepare students for post school vocational education and training. I will be travelling to the USA in January 2016 for five weeks. While there, I will visit schools, farms and also attend the Colorado Agriculture Teachers Conference on 29-30th January 2016. I am happy to send a detailed report of my experiences and share what I gained during this study tour with all Agriculture teachers out there. On the 29th of August I went to Sydney Parliament house where I was presented with an award by the Minister of Education Adrian Piccoli.

I know all of you have been working hard, in preparation for the exams and I’m sure your results will reflect this work ethic. Thank you to Mr Andrew Doherty and Mrs Bronwyn Lidden, who started their journey six years ago as Year Advisors of the current Year 12 cohort. It was great to hear their shared stories, demonstrating the close bond that develops between students and their Year Advisors during their time at high school. I would like to thank the students and families who contributed to the school gift; painting the outdoor furniture in the school grounds. Year 12 worked during their free periods and held a working bee on a Sunday to accomplish this task. The students and staff have enjoyed using the fresh furniture which has brightened the school grounds. The Newcastle High School Parents and Citizens Association is an extremely valued partner of the school. We currently engage with the P&C representation through: P&C operated school canteen formal meetings and informal contact panels for teaching and administrative positions the finance committee out of area enrolment panel Year 7, 2017 Passion Project panel Years 5 and 6 parent information evenings - 1 - Parkway Edition No.07 - October 2016 Principal’s Message As the Principal of Newcastle High School, I really value the commitment of the P&C team and consult regularly with the committee, regarding decisions that impact on the school.

[email protected] Hordern House recently received the wonderful library of Dr Robert Edwards AO, and over the next year or two we will be offering the library for sale. Bob is one of the great figures of Australian cultural history, at different times working as a leading anthropologist, a central figure in the study of indigenous art, a museum director and a driving force behind many of the international blockbuster art shows to travel to Australia. His early training as an anthropologist saw him doing fieldwork in remote Australia, and led to him becoming a museum curator in the 1960s and 70s. He was the founding director of the Australia Council’s Aboriginal Arts Board, perhaps most famous for its support of the Papunya Tula artists. He was the Director of the Museum of Victoria from 1984-90, the founding chairman of the National Museum of Australia and the founding chairman of the National Portrait Gallery. He has also for many years been the chief executive of Art Exhibitions Australia which brought to Australia significant exhibitions, including the Entombed Warriors from China (1982), Claude Monet (1985), Van Gogh (1993) and Rembrandt (1997). Bob is an ardent bibliophile, and his Library reflects the discerning taste of a knowledgeable and educated collector. Some books are of such rarity that they are known in only a handful of copies, and his collection embraces early Australian printing, early works on the Australian Aborigines, the major early voyage accounts, as well as works on early settlement and inland exploration.
