The following response has been provided by the Director Connected Communities. The mural could be refurbished as part of the 2020 CHArts Festival, however there would be an estimated cost of $7,000 for this project which could be funded through Council budget and/or a contribution from McCain Foods. Council Officers will approach McCain Foods to determine their support for the project. 3.4.7 Cr Ettlin re Mental Health Services coordination Cr Ettlin noted the increasing need for mental health services to be accessed within Circular Head and enquired whether Council could assist coordination of these services to enable easy access for residents.

Council’s Youth Officer have been working with the Circular Head Youth Network on this issue. Members of that group will be providing data at the next meeting on available services, waiting times, details of need of people on waiting list etc. It is planned to use the information to identify where there are gaps in service delivery to lobby and lobby collectively for services. If there is a role for council that will be identified as part of the gap analysis and advocacy work. 3.4 Councillor Questions without Notice 3.4.1 Cr Woodward re Heavy Vehicle road usage Cr Woodward enquired whether there was currently a weight limit for heavy vehicles travelling through Smithton along Smith Street into Nelson Street through the traffic light area, raising concerns from shopowners in the area The Director Infrastructure & Development Services advised that there is a current weight limit on all public streets for vehicles up to semi- trailers with specific conditions., however B-Double vehicles need to seek permission to travel on roads. 3.4.2 Cr Woodward re Mella Road usage by Semi-Trailers Cr Woodward enquired whether the Mella Road upgrade was designed to provide for usage by heavy vehicles in order to avoid travelling through Smithton. The Director Infrastructure & Development Services advised that the route from Nelson Bay to Montagu Road bridge is for heavy vehicles, with the Montagu Road bridge being an impediment for B Doubles due to its design standards at the time and its age, hence the development of Mella Road as an alternate route. Mayor Quilliam added that it currently is not illegal for semi-trailers to use the Mella Road route however it is preferable that they do, it is not compulsory and they are able to travel through Smith Street into Nelson Street in Smithton. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Council Minutes 17 10 19 4 3.4.3 Cr Ettlin re Mental Health Services coordination Cr Ettlin referred to the response to her question from last month’s meeting in regard to Mental Health services coordination, and clarified that seeking better outcomes that are needed, standard being received in C H could be a lot better, mental health services being delivered in silos, and that needs are not necessarily being met.

She also noted that there was a role for Council’s involvement in coordination. 3.4.4 Cr Popowski re Council Policy on Murals Cr Popowski enquired whether Council had a current Policy on establishment and refurbishment of murals within the community, and if not, can one be developed.

  • The Assertion of Tasmanian Aboriginality from the 1967 Referendum to Mabo
    THE ASSERTION OF TASMANIAN ABORIGINALITY FROM THE 1967 REFERENDUM TO MABO BY Dennis W. Daniels B.A., B.Soe. Admin. Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Humanities University of Tasmania, December 1995. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any tertiary institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, except when due reference is made in the text of the thesis. 'd dd Denn~sDaniels November 1995. Acknowledgments I wish to express my appreciation to Gillian Biscoe, Secretary of the Department of Community and Health Services, for permitting access to relevant material, and for Mary Bailey for facilitating the process. I am particularly grateful to the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre for approving the project and to those who granted personal interviews. Personal thanks to Tony Marshall of the Tasmanians section of the State Library. Thesis Abstract The Assertion of Aboriginality in Tasmania From the Referendum to Mabo This paper takes as its starting point a period before the 1967 Referendum which gave full citizenship rights to Australian Aborigines and the Federal Government a mandate over Aboriginal Affairs. During the 40's and 50's the Aboriginal people of Tasmania, represented by the people of Cape Barren Island, stubbornly resisted the assimilation policies of the day. In briefly examining the thesis of resistance as proposed by Lyndall Ryan in her 1981 edition of The Aboriginal Tasmanians, and the proposition that the Government sought to abandon the Island, the paper draws upon new material.

It seems like only yesterday that we conducted our Tasmanian Team of the Century dinner in 2004, followed by our inaugural Hall of Fame induction dinner in 2005. This is just another example of how quickly a decade passes by when you work in an industry as dynamic as Australian Football. Over this decade 277 individuals have entered our Hall of Fame ‘club’ as inductees. We have elevated 40 of these men to Legend status and further elevated just 14 to become Icons of Tasmanian Football. To be one of just 14 Icons to have been identified in over 149 years of the game being played in Tasmania is very special indeed.

AFL Tasmania devotes most of each year to focusing on the future; considering initiatives to grow our game for our community and for the benefit of the next generation of players, coaches, umpires, support staff, administrators and fans. While grand final day is always a special event for the participating clubs and their respective competitions, for AFL Tasmania our Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame is especially dear to our hearts because it is the only time during the year whereby we can pause for a brief moment and celebrate the past. In addition, we cherish the uniqueness of our Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame, which remains the only football event in the nation that enshrines great contributions from individuals, clubs, teams and games on a truly whole of state basis. We also recognise the special and distinctive elements of our great game in Tasmania such as the gravel oval in Queenstown and the King Island Football Association, to mention just two.

  • The Social Construction of Joint Management in Kakadu National Park
    Defined by contradiction: the social construction of joint management in Kakadu National Park Christopher David Haynes, B.Sc (For) School for Social and Policy Research Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Charles Darwin University July 2009 Title page: Digital camera case in one hand and mobile phone (it did not work) in the other, the author ponders the effects of globalisation to Kakadu’s ancient landscape and cultures at Twin Falls, one of Kakadu’s now-famous tourist icons, in a break during field work in 2005. (Photo: Liz Haynes). Abstract Born in the 1970s, a period when the Australian state needed to resolve land use conflicts in the then relatively remote Alligator Rivers region of Australia’s Northern Territory, Kakadu has become the nation’s largest and most famous national park. Aside from its worthy national park attributes and World Heritage status, it is also noted for its joint management, the sharing of management between the state and the traditional Aboriginal owners of the area. As an experienced park manager working in this park more than two decades after its declaration in 1979, I found joint management hard to comprehend and even harder to manage. In this thesis I explore this phenomenon as practice: how joint management works now, and how it came to be as it is. The work explains how the now accepted ‘best model’ for joint management – a legal arrangement based on land ownership by Aboriginal people, lease back to the state under negotiated conditions, a governing board of management with an Aboriginal majority, and regular consultation does not, on its own, satisfy either partner.

'We wiped them out' is a common belief about Tasmania's Aborigines - but even that acknowledged elimina­ tion doesn't accord with our current notion of genocide. For a very small minority, genocide means a fleeting knowledge of forced death marches, 85 years ago, of Arme­ nian women and children from eastern Turkey to Syria. For the great majority, the perception of genocide resides in that other planet, Auschwitz, where the mussulmiinner, scarcely human beings, are draped across the wire, awaiting gas and crematoria. Closer to home is a John Pilger documentary showing stacks of Cambodian skulls shattered by Pol Pot and his minions - a unique case of auto-genocide.
