Supplementary Budget Estimates 2010-11 (October 2010) Senate Finance and Public Administration Standing Committee ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON NOTICE SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES HEARINGS PRIME MINISTER AND CABINET PORTFOLIO Department/Agency: Department of Regional Australia, Regional Development and Local Government Outcome: 1 Topic: RLCIP $550 million Senator: BERNARDI Question reference number: 20c Type of question: Hansard F&PA page 54, Tuesday 19 October 2010 Date set by the committee for the return of answer: 3 December 2010 Ms Foster—Yes. As I think one of the other officers said, in this series of programs there are 5,000 projects. Senator BERNARDI—Yes. But are there hundreds of them that have been renegotiated? Ms Foster—Senator, I would have to take that on notice....... Senator BERNARDI—If you can tell me which ones have been renegotiated, I would be interested in that too. How does the department assess the value or the merit of the infrastructure projects that are put forward to it? Number of pages: 41 Answer: In assessing projects in all RLCIP Programs, the Department considered the nature of the project, the level of community support for the project, Council’s ability to complete the project on time and within budget, and whether the project would be sustainable. Where the Department believed there were risks with the viability of the proponent or project that required further consideration, an Independent Viability Assessment (IVA) was undertaken by a qualified external consultant engaged by the Department. The findings of the IVA are considered in the project analysis. Under the RLCIP-SP $550 million program, 137 projects were originally funded with 12 requiring variation to their Funding Agreement. Under the RLCIP $250 million program, 3,220 projects were funded of which 682 required a variation to the funding agreement. Under the RLCIP $100 million program, 1,438 projects were funded of which 19 required a variation to the funding agreement. The reasons for the variations to the funding agreements include: • Additional funding from other sources for the same project • Natural Disasters (Fire/Flood) • Contractors unavailable to complete funded works • Permit and planning issues • Environmental impact • Further Community Consultation RLCIP Projects that had funding agreement variations Program State Council Name Project Name Funding RLCIP-SP Round NSW Byron Shire Council Byron Sports and Cultural Centre $8,000,000 One $550 million RLCIP-SP Round NSW City Council of Botany Bay Hensley Athletic Field $2,194,000 One $550 million RLCIP-SP Round NSW Council of the Shire of Hornsby Epping Stormwater Re-use and $2,414,280 One $550 million Energy Efficiency Project RLCIP-SP Round NSW Marrickville Council Mackey Park Refurbishment $2,265,000 One $550 million RLCIP-SP Round NSW Queanbeyan City Council Queanbeyan Indoor Sporting $2,200,000 One $550 million Complex RLCIP-SP Round QLD Etheridge Shire Council Einasleigh River Bridge on Gulf $18,000,000 One $550 million Development Road RLCIP-SP Round VIC Banyule City Council The Greensborough Project $5,000,000 One $550 million RLCIP-SP Round VIC Horsham Rural City Council Horsham Town Hall $5,000,000 One $550 million Redevelopment RLCIP-SP Round VIC Wellington Shire Council Gippsland Regional Sports $3,250,000 One $550 million Complex RLCIP-SP Round VIC Yarra Ranges Shire Council Healesville Arts and Community $2,900,000 One $550 million Precinct Project RLCIP-SP Round WA City of Joondalup The Seacrest Community Sporting $2,609,100 One $550 million Facility Project RLCIP-SP Round WA City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder Construction of the Ray Finlayson $2,000,000 One $550 million Sport Complex (Stage 1) RLCIP Round ACT ACT Government Eddison Park Youth Recreation $ 1,400,000.00 One $250 million Facility RLCIP Round SA Adelaide Hills Council Crafers Main Street Upgrade $ 36,000.00 One $250 million RLCIP Round SA Adelaide Hills Council Aldgate Main Street Upgrade $ 120,000.00 One $250 million RLCIP Round SA Adelaide Hills Council New Playground in Greenhill $ 25,000.00 One $250 million RLCIP Round NSW Albury City Council Albury Entertainment Centre $ 400,000.00 One $250 million Airconditioning Upgrade RLCIP Round SA Alexandrina Council Strathalbyn Community Swimming $ 160,000.00 One $250 million Pool Toddlers' Pool RLCIP Round NT Alice Springs Town Council Alice Springs Lighting Project $ 230,000.00 One $250 million RLCIP Round VIC Alpine Shire Council Walking & Cycling Trail Extension, $ 130,000.00 One $250 million Bright RLCIP Round VIC Alpine Shire Council Disabled Access Ramp, Myrtleford $ 150,000.00 One $250 million Ablett Pavilion RLCIP Round VIC Alpine Shire Council Recycled Water Treatment Plant, $ 130,000.00 One $250 million Mt Beauty RLCIP Round VIC Ararat Rural City Council Tatyoon Netball Court Upgrade $ 31,500.00 One $250 million RLCIP Round VIC Ararat Rural City Council Tennis Court and Playground $ 16,500.00 One $250 million Upgrade, Wickliffe RLCIP Round VIC Ararat Rural City Council Buangor Reserve Playground $ 34,000.00 One $250 million Upgrade RLCIP Round VIC Ararat Rural City Council Warrack Community Hall Upgrade $ 26,500.00 One $250 million RLCIP Round VIC Ararat Rural City Council Ararat Playground Shade Program $ 87,500.00 One $250 million RLCIP Round VIC Ararat Rural City Council Lighting Upgrade at Langi Morgala $ 10,500.00 One $250 million Museum RLCIP Round NSW Armidale Dumaresq Council Armidale Skate Park $ 63,000.00 One $250 million RLCIP Round NSW Armidale Dumaresq Council Installation of Photovoltaic Solar $ 20,000.00 One $250 million Panels, Armidale RLCIP Round NSW Armidale Dumaresq Council Upgrade of Field Lighting at the $ 90,000.00 One $250 million Armidale Sportsground RLCIP Round NSW Armidale Dumaresq Council Aquatic Centre Recreation Facilities $ 20,000.00 One $250 million RLCIP Round NSW Auburn Council Regents Park -

  • Community Profile Newstead 3462
    Mount Alexander Shire Council Local Community Planning Project Community Profile Newstead 3462 Image by Leigh Kinrade 1 INTRODUCTION Mount Alexander Shire Council has been funded over three years until May 2014, through the State Government’s Department of Planning and Community Development, to undertake the Mount Alexander Shire Local Community Planning Project (LCPP). The project aims to support local community engagement across the Shire to enable communities to articulate their needs and aspirations through the development of local community-based Action Plans. In September 2011, Council announced that Newstead would be one of three townships to participate in the first round of planning. This document has been formulated to provide some background information about Newstead and a starting point for discussion. ABOUT MOUNT ALEXANDER SHIRE The original inhabitants of the Mount Alexander area were the Jaara Jaara Aboriginal people. European settlement dates from the late 1830s, with land used mainly for pastoral purposes, particularly sheep grazing. Population was minimal until the 1850s, spurred by gold mining from 1851, the construction of the railway line, and the establishment of several townships. Rapid growth took place into the late 1800s before declining as gold supplies waned and mines were closed. Relatively stable between the 1950’s and the 1980’s, the population increased from about 12,700 in 1981 to 16,600 in 2006. The 1 preliminary Estimated Resident Population for 2010 is 18,421 . Mount Alexander Shire (MAS, the Shire) forms part of the Loddon Mallee Region (the Region), which encompasses ten municipalities and covers nearly 59,000km 2 in size, or approximately 26 percent of the land area of the State of Victoria.

  • SCG Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation
    Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation September 2019 spence-consulting.com Spence Consulting 2 Analysis of Victorian Councils Post Amalgamation Analysis by Gavin Mahoney, September 2019 It’s been over 20 years since the historic Victorian Council amalgamations that saw the sacking of 1600 elected Councillors, the elimination of 210 Councils and the creation of 78 new Councils through an amalgamation process with each new entity being governed by State appointed Commissioners. The Borough of Queenscliffe went through the process unchanged and the Rural City of Benalla and the Shire of Mansfield after initially being amalgamated into the Shire of Delatite came into existence in 2002. A new City of Sunbury was proposed to be created from part of the City of Hume after the 2016 Council elections, but this was abandoned by the Victorian Government in October 2015. The amalgamation process and in particular the sacking of a democratically elected Council was referred to by some as revolutionary whilst regarded as a massacre by others. On the sacking of the Melbourne City Council, Cr Tim Costello, Mayor of St Kilda in 1993 said “ I personally think it’s a drastic and savage thing to sack a democratically elected Council. Before any such move is undertaken, there should be questions asked of what the real point of sacking them is”. Whilst Cr Liana Thompson Mayor of Port Melbourne at the time logically observed that “As an immutable principle, local government should be democratic like other forms of government and, therefore the State Government should not be able to dismiss any local Council without a ratepayers’ referendum.

  • The Places We Keep: the Heritage Studies of Victoria and Outcomes for Urban Planners
    The places we keep: the heritage studies of Victoria and outcomes for urban planners Robyn Joy Clinch Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Architecture & Planning) June 2012 Faculty of Architecture, Building & Planning The University of Melbourne Abstract The incentive for this thesis that resulted from an investigation into the history of my heritage house, developed from my professional interest in the planning controls on heritage places. This was further motivated by my desire to reinvent my career as an urban planner and to use my professional experience in management, marketing and information technology. As a result, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between the development of the heritage studies of Victoria and the outcome of those documents on planning decisions made by urban planners. The methods used included a simulated experience that established a methodology for the thesis. In addition, interviews were conducted with experts in the field that provided a context for understanding the influencing factors of when, where, by whom, with what, why and how the studies were conducted. These interviews also contributed to the understanding of how the historical research had been undertaken and used to establish the significance of places and how this translated into outcomes for urban planners. Case studies in the form of Tribunal determinations have been used to illustrate key outcomes for urban planners. A large amount of information including that relating to the historical background of the studies plus a collection of indicative content from over 400 heritage studies was traversed.
