Wagga Wagga is the largest inland city in NSW and covers 4825 square kilometres. The name of the City is derived from the language of the Wiradjuri people, the largest Aboriginal Nation in New South Wales. The word Wagga Wagga comes from the Wiradjuri word Waga meaning a place to dance. Waga Waga, meaning a place of dance, place of celebration. The repetition of a word expresses plural or emphasis, emphasis meaning special importance. Thus, Wagga Wagga could mean a place of many celebrations or a place of many dances. The name Wiradjuri means, ‘people of the three rivers’ and traditionally these rivers (Lachlan, Murrumbidgee and Macquarie) were the primary source of food for the Wiradjuri people. Wagga Wagga is increasingly recognised by other levels of Government and the broader community as a regional capital, playing a significant role in supporting the surrounding towns and villages within the wider Riverina. The 2018 Wagga Wagga Economic Snapshot identified Wagga Wagga as the largest retail, commercial, administrative and population centre in the Riverina region. It additionally identified that the city provides shopping services to a catchment of over 190,000 people. Approximately 1.3M people visit annually. Wagga Wagga is an increasingly culturally diverse local government area and is a recognised Refugee Welcome zone. It is a youthful and vibrant community, with a higher than average proportion of persons in the 12-24 age group. 4 2021 Wagga Wagga Community Directory Our Councillors Councillor Greg Councillor Dan

  • DRAFT WAGGA WAGGA Transport Plan Baylis Street, Wagga Wagga 01
    DRAFT WAGGA WAGGA Transport Plan Baylis Street, Wagga Wagga 01 Wagga Wagga Transport Plan Wagga Wagga is changing. We need to manage the transport network differently to realise the community vision for Wagga Wagga and ensure transport can support growth in a sustainable way. The Wagga Wagga Transport Plan is the first Future Transport Plan for regional NSW. The learnings from this process will inform other regional Future Transport Plans around NSW. The plan has been led by Transport for NSW in collaboration with Wagga Wagga City Council and with input from Wagga Wagga organisations and NSW Government agencies. What is a Transport Plan? › A Transport Plan provides a shared vision for how the transport network, infrastructure and services will be managed and developed over time to realise community aspirations. › The Transport Plans take a movement and place approach. This approach considers how the desired land uses and transport network will work together to achieve a community vision for a place. It involves multiple stakeholders and practitioners with expertise in land use planning, urban design and transport planning. › The NSW Government’s Regional NSW Services and Infrastructure Plan commits to developing integrated transport plans for regional centres like Wagga Wagga. NSW Common Planning Assumptions Common Planning Assumptions are used across agencies to ensure alignment and understanding of the relevant data, policies and assumptions to underpin planning decisions and policy analysis for government strategies and investment decisions. This supports consistency in the advice provided to Government and the community. The Common Planning Assumptions represent a consistent baseline or a starting point, and are developed based on current and past trends and agreed policies and plans.

  • About the Association of Christian Broadcasters and Christian Community Broadcasting
    Submission from Association of Christian Broadcasters Inquiry into Community Broadcasting 1. The scope and role of Australian community broadcasting across radio, television, the internet and other broadcasting technologies; About the Association of Christian Broadcasters and Christian Community Broadcasting Whoever controls the media, controls the mind. Jim Morrison The media is too concentrated, too few people own too much. There's really five companies that control 90 percent of what we read, see and hear. It's not healthy. Ted Turner For better or for worse, our company (The News Corporation Ltd.) is a reflection of my thinking, my character, my values. Rupert Murdoch History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamour of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King, Jr. Christian Broadcasting is often one of the few voices that present alternative viewpoints to those expressed in the other media. Christianity has a proven track record for having a positive influence on western society (hospitals, education, basis of government and the law) and we believe that Community Christian Broadcasting is an important and dynamic sector. There are a number of sub-sectors of community broadcasting, who each have special needs and cultural sensitivities. These are RPH, Indigenous, and Ethnic. Each of these make up a very small portion, in both numbers Association of Christian Broadcasters submission March Page 1 of stations and audience of the total sector. However, due to the argued special needs of these sectors they now enjoy significant government funding which the Association of Christian Broadcasters supports and would like to see increased.
