  • 2019-20 Budget Submission
    Mr Andrew Barr MLA Chief Minister and Treasurer GPO Box 1020 Canberra ACT 2601 Dear Chief Minister PEDAL POWER ACT – 2019-20 BUDGET SUBMISSION Thank you for inviting Pedal Power ACT to make a submission to the 2019-20 budget development process. With over 7500 members, Pedal Power ACT represents the interests of people who already ride bicycles and those who would like to. As well as organising bike rides and events, we work consistently with the ACT Government on all bicycle riding related matters to support the Government’s active travel program. Pedal Power ACT encourages the community to be active and provides opportunities to do so through programs like New Horizons (cycling skills course to instil confidence on a bike), Cycle Well (teaching adults how to ride), Girls on Bikes (supporting migrant and refugee women to learn to ride), and Cycling Without Age (allowing older or less-mobile people to feel the wind in their hair). Pedal Power ACT supports the ACT Government’s Active Travel goals, and particularly the 2026 goal of 7 per cent of trips to work by cycling (raising from the current rate of 3 per cent). Pedal Power believes that sustained, planned, investment in Active Travel is the best means for the ACT Government to improve population health and wellbeing, reduce emissions, and reduce congestion. Further Pedal Power ACT believes the most effective investment in Active Travel the ACT Government can make to is to continue to develop maintain and improve our cycling infrastructure. We are pleased to provide the following advice about where Pedal Power ACT believes the ACT Government could best invest funds to improve active travel.

  • R101 Cameron Offices RSTCA
    Register of Significant Twentieth Century Architecture RSTCA No: R101 Name of Place: Cameron Offices Other/Former Names: Address/Location: Chandler Street BELCONNEN TOWN CENTRE Block Section of Listing Status: Other Heritage Listings: Date of Listing: Level of Significance: Citation Revision No: Category: Citation Revision Date: Style: Date of Design: Designer: Construction Period: Client/Owner/Lessee: Date of Additions: Builder: Statement of Significance The Cameron Offices, located along Chandler Street Belconnen Town Centre, is an example of significant architecture and an educational resource. The office complex is a very good example of the Late Twentieth-Century International Style (1960-) and the Late Twentieth-Century Brutalist Style (1960-). The design incorporates most of the features which are specific to the styles including: Late Twentieth-Century International Style (1960-) cubiform overall shape, structural frame expressed, large sheets of glass, and plain, smooth wall surface. Late Twentieth-Century Brutalist Style (1960-) strong shapes, boldly composed, expressed reinforced-concrete, large areas of blank wall and off-form concrete. The following design features are of additional significance; the precast post tensioned 'T' floor beams with the integration of the lighting and air conditioning, the landscaped courtyards with native Australian plants and water features, the structural system for the office wing's floors where the Gallows beams support the floors by hanging 'columns', the stepped floors at half levels, overhang of the upper floors for shading to the north, Corbusian (ribbon) window motif, assertive cantilever and lengthy expressed reinforced concrete balustrades along the 'Mall'. The office complex is Canberra's, and it appears Australia's, first and possibly only true architectural example of "Structuralism" where buildings are integral and contributing elements of an overall urban order rather than separate and individual elements.

  • Designing Our Tourism Future Starting the Conversation May 2021
    Designing our tourism future Starting the conversation May 2021 TOURISM INDUSTRY REFERENCE PANEL MESSAGE FROM THE PANEL CHAIR It’s time to think outside of the box. To say the last year has been difficult would be an understatement – 11.3 million less visitors travelled to and within Queensland in 2020, representing a loss of $12.3 billion in overnight visitor expenditure. Queensland is well positioned to be a winner in tourism post COVID-19. To capture the opportunity in full, we will need to adapt to meet the changing visitor attitudes and outlooks to travel. The decade ahead has the potential to be a transformational time for Queensland tourism. The Tourism Industry Reference Panel will work hand in hand with industry to understand and re-shape the future of the visitor economy in Queensland and identify the actions needed to achieve this. This paper poses questions about the future you envisage and encourages answers as to how to get there. It starts a wide-ranging conversation about the future of tourism in our state. Queensland is well positioned, it is a state that has managed the health crisis well, is filled with wide open spaces, is clean, green and abundant with local produce. We, meaning both the Panel and industry are a proud bunch, with every right to be. So, it’s up to all of us to show Queensland off – to position our state to win in an increasingly competitive landscape. As the Tourism Industry Reference Panel, we must be facilitators for change and improvement. While the Panel has the backing of the Queensland Government, we are not the policy makers.

  • Chapter Nine: the Main Event – Round Three – 1981-1990
    Chapter Nine: The Main Event – Round Three – 1981-1990: Introduction: This chapter concludes the examination of the inextricable melding of Television Audience Survey Ratings, Financial Returns and Local ‘Live’ Production. While there was still intense rivalry between TVW7 and STW9, other forces were coming into operation in the succeeding period from 1981-1990. In this decade both TVW7 and STW9 were subsumed by much larger corporate entities. At the level of programming this led to a notable decline in local ‘live’ production, as a result of national networking and a corresponding diminution of community responsibility. During this period there were to be big changes in the structure of what can be termed the era of the two ‘family television’ companies in Western Australia. The chapter examines the events that led to TVW7 becoming part of the Robert Holmes a’ Court Bell Group, the retirement of Sir James Cruthers (considered by many to be ‘the Father’ of Perth television) and the sale of STW9 to the Bond Corporation. Another development, the introduction of the Aussat Satellite System was to have a huge impact on program transmission and in conjunction with Networking, perhaps deliver the mortal blow to the local ‘live’ television industry. The chapter concludes with the first two years of a three-station System in Western Australia’s capital city, when NEW10 went on air in 1988. Examination of the correlation between audience ratings surveys and Company profitability continues and so are their combined deleterious effects upon the former showcases of the two original stations, their respective Production Departments and the wealth of output from their in-house studios.

As I pointed out in the last issue, your PRAECLARUM is posted to you by Eric and May Goudie of Can­ berra. The addresses, at least in the case of Club members who needless to say form the majority of the readership, are printed on self- adhesive labels which are sent to the Goudies every second month by the Branch Secretaries.
