Rban Aborigines
RBAN ABORIGINES guFay Gälc assisted by Alison Brookman brt This book concerns the re-entry of Aborigines into Australian life—specifically the life of urban Adelaide—after generations of restriction to isolated rural areas. Aborigines are moving into Australian cities in increasing numbers—in 1957 one in sixteen of South Australia’s Aborigines lived in Adelaide, by 1966 one in four did so. Some adjust easily to city life, others face seemingly insoluble problems of housing and employment, social tensions, health and welfare, education and law. Often their experience on reserves and the fringes of small towns has in no way prepared them for urban life. The physical confrontation involved in this re-entry is already leading to legislative and social changes for Aborigines. It is beginning to arouse public conscience about Aboriginal conditions, and the voice of the Aboriginal is beginning to be heard. This study is a representative picture of Aborigines in Australian cities today, and it speaks for the future of Australia, black and white. This book was published by ANU Press between 1965–1991. This republication is part of the digitisation project being carried out by Scholarly Information Services/Library and ANU Press. This project aims to make past scholarly works published by The Australian National University available to a global audience under its open-access policy.

Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula
SOUTH AUSTRALIAN CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC STUDIES ADELAIDE & FLINDERS UNIVERSITIES Regional Development Australia Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula Overview Geography RDA Whyalla and Eyre Peninsula covers an area of 170,500 square kilometres or 17.3 per cent of the State’s land mass. Population As at 30th June 2010 the region’s population was 58,700 persons or 3.6 per cent of the State’s population. The Indigenous population was estimated at 2,500 persons or 4.4 per cent of the region’s population. Economy and Labour force The region contributed $2,297 million to the State economy in 2006/07 or 3.4 per cent of gross state product. The four largest employing industries in the Whyalla Eyre Peninsula region were agriculture and fisheries (18.2 per cent), retail trade (14.3 per cent), manufacturing (11.9 per cent) and health and community services (10.9 per cent). Mining was relatively small at 1.4 per cent but is likely to show strong growth in the median term. The labour market is relatively strong with a participation rate above the State average and lower unemployment than the State average. Participation in VET courses is well above that for the State as a whole, while full-time participation in secondary school at age 16 is 71.4 per cent compared to South Australia at 78.4 per cent. NAPLAN reading results at year 3 are 15 percentage points lower than the State average but by year 7 they are 4.5 percentage points below the State average which indicates stronger school attendance over primary years of schooling.

HISTORIC AREA STATEMENTS and CHARACTER AREA STATEMENTS PROPOSAL to AMEND PHASE 3 (URBAN AREAS) PLANNING and DESIGN CODE AMENDMENT City of Whyalla
HISTORIC AREA STATEMENTS AND CHARACTER AREA STATEMENTS PROPOSAL TO AMEND PHASE 3 (URBAN AREAS) PLANNING AND DESIGN CODE AMENDMENT City of Whyalla Purpose The State Planning Commission has released for public consultation the Urban Areas Planning and Design Code Amendment that applies to metropolitan Adelaide, regional cities and larger towns. This new Code is the cornerstone of South Australia’s new planning system and will become the state’s single source of all planning zones and rules for assessing development applications. It will replace all 72 Development Plans by 1 July 2020. The Code aims to make the development application process quicker, simpler and more equitable, giving people greater access to planning information that is consistent and clear, and available online. With the introduction of the Code, some changes are proposed to the way we manage heritage in this State. This documents sets out what’s new, and seeks your feedback on new historic area and character statements that will help guide development in areas of historic or character importance in South Australia. What is proposed? The State Planning Commission is required by legislation to set up a new planning system that makes heritage policy and rules clearer, fairer and easier for all. Heritage in South Australia is protected by heritage specific legislation (the Heritage Places Act 1993) and through the planning legislation (the Development Act 1993 and its successor, the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016). The Heritage Places Act 1993 provides for a listing process for heritage that is judged to be of state significance. The planning legislation provides for a parallel system to list heritage that is deemed to be of local significance.

Inquiry Into a New Regional Development Funding Program – June 2008
SUBMISSION 195 Submission – Inquiry into a New Regional Development Funding Program – June 2008 Inquiry into a New Regional Development Funding Program The Local Government Association of South Australia is the voice of Local Government in SA. All 68 Local Government Act Councils and Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara are members. The LGA is also formally recognised by the SA Parliament under the Local Government Act and by the SA Government in the form of the State/Local Government Relations Agreement. The LGA is a member of the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) and a Local Government body recognised for consultation under the Commonwealth Local Government (Financial Assistance) Act. DME 40873 Page 1 of 14 SUBMISSION 195 Submission – Inquiry into a New Regional Development Funding Program – June 2008 Introduction The LGA welcomes the inquiry into the new Regional Development Funding Program. In particular the LGA supports the Australian Government’s proposal for Regional Development Australia to work more closely with Local Government. The LGA believes an opportunity exists for the Federal Government through Regional Development Australia to work more closely with Local Government. The LGA and Local Government have a long history of working effectively to deliver Federal Programs on the ground from Prime Minister Keating’s Local Capital Works Program (LCWP) of 1992/93 to Prime Minister Howard’s Roads to Recovery program from 2001. These two programs delivered substantial funding to local capital projects with extremely low administrative costs. Notably LCWP delivered $345m in 12 months to Local Government across Australia relying on State Local Government Associations for administration. Former Deputy Prime Minister Mark Vaile acknowledged it in 1995 as the Commonwealth Specific Purpose Program with the lowest administrative cost on record: “The most efficient SPP was the local capital works program at the end of 1992.

Event Management Pack
Event Management Pack January 2017 FOREWORD A public event is an event in a certain place during a particular interval of time for public attendance. For the purposes of this Event Management Kit, a public event is defined as an event occurring in a temporary venue or a fixed venue normally authorised for other types of events and occurs regularly, as a once only event or on an irregular basis. There are many aspects of an event which can be potentially hazardous to the general public if not planned and managed correctly. For an event to be successful, it is essential that event organisers provide safe venues which do not put the health and safety of the public at risk or cause environmental harm or damage. Event organisers and participants need to understand the health and safety implications of staging a public event and be aware of the precautions that must be taken to minimise health and safety risks. This Event Management Kit can reduce risks to health and safety. It explains the application process and how to complete an event application. It also provides useful information regarding industry contacts, risk assessment, event management plans and promotional opportunities. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Town of Gawler, September 2004, Event Resource Kit City of Whyalla, April 2005, Event Management Guideline The Barossa Council, October 2008, Event Management Guidelines The District Council of the Yorke Peninsula, Special Events Kit The District Council of the Copper Coast, August 2012, Event Management Kit Definitions Environmental Health Officers employed by Council to administer the provisions of the Food Act Officer (EHO) and the Public and Environmental Health Act.
