That Council adopt the Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan 2013 – 2016 as attached. BACKGROUND Council is required under the Emergency Management Act 1986 to prepare a Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMPlan). It is an overarching document that covers an “all hazards” approach to emergency planning. The MEMPlan outlines the general arrangements and responsibilities for emergency agencies within the municipality of Wellington. The MEMPlan contains individual sub plans or action plans such as the Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan 2013 – 2016. A sub-committee of the MEMPlan Committee is responsible for the development and maintenance of a current Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan. Process requires this committee to be endorsed by Council. This process had not been completed and Council will be asked to endorse the Municipal Fire Management Planning Committee in addition to adopting the Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan 2013 – 2016. The Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan 2013 – 2016: Focuses on the preservation of life as a priority. Assigns responsibilities to related agencies to carry out fire planning, preparation, prevention, response and recovery functions as listed in Attachment B of the Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan 2013 – 2016. Encourages the use of fire for ecological, as well as community safety outcomes across the landscape. The roadside fuel break network is currently undergoing a systematic strategic review. The review is scheduled for completion at the end of the 2012/13 financial year. Seeks out efficiencies, both physical and financial, through collaboratively planning for service delivery. Strives for best practice outcomes through continual improvement. The draft Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan 2013 – 2016 was presented to the community for comment in November/December 2012. A total of six submissions were received. All submissions were either partially or fully included in the final Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan 2013 – 2016. Agenda - Ordinary Council Meeting of 16 April 2013 10 The proposed adoption of the Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan 2013 – 2016 by Council is a further step in the transition of fire management responsibilities from the Municipal Fire Prevention Committee to the Municipal Fire Management Planning Committee as part of the Integrated Fire Management Process. OPTIONS Council has the following options: 1. (a) To endorse the Municipal Fire Management Planning Committee as a sub-committee of the Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee; or (b) Seek further information and present at a future Council meeting; and 2. (a) To adopt the Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan 2013 – 2016; or (b) Seek further information at a future Council meeting. PROPOSAL It is proposed that: 1. Council endorse the Municipal Fire Management Planning Committee as a sub-committee of the Municipal Emergency Management and Planning Committee; and 2. Council adopt the Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan 2013 – 2016. CONFLICT OF INTEREST No staff and/or contractors involved in the compilation of this report have declared a Conflict of Interest. FINANCIAL IMPACT There is no direct financial impact on Council in regard to endorsement of this committee or adoption of the Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan 2013 – 2016. Attachment B of the Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan 2013 – 2016 individually lists the actions Council had previously committed to. Therefore, there should be no net financial impact exclusively as a result of this new plan. LEGISLATIVE IMPACT Section 20(1) of the Emergency Management Act 1986 states “a municipal council must prepare and maintain a municipal emergency management plan,” this plan is a sub-plan of the MEMPlan. Section 20(3) of the Emergency Management Act 1986 has governed the production of the Wellington Municipal Fire Management Plan 2013 – 2016, which complies with the legislative requirements set out in the

The majority of these were timber structures, with the occasional use of stone piers. The first bridge constructed in NSW was built in 1788. The bridge was a simple timber bridge constructed over the Tank Stream, near what is today the intersection of George and Bridge Streets in the Central Business District of Sydney. Soon after it was washed away and needed to be replaced. The first "permanent" bridge in NSW was this bridge's successor. This was a masonry and timber arch bridge with a span of 24 feet erected in 1803 (Figure 1.1). However this was not a triumph of colonial bridge engineering, as it collapsed after only three years' service. It took a further five years for the bridge to be rebuilt in an improved form. The contractor who undertook this work received payment of 660 gallons of spirits, this being an alternative currency in the Colony at the time (Main Roads, 1950: 37) Figure 1.1 “View of Sydney from The Rocks, 1803”, by John Lancashire (Dixson Galleries, SLNSW).

  • Local Plumbing Regulators in NSW On-Site Plumbing and Drainage Compliance and Inspections
    Local plumbing regulators in NSW On-site plumbing and drainage compliance and inspections This document outlines who performs the functions of the plumbing regulator in NSW. Under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2011 NSW Fair Trading is the plumbing regulator in New South Wales. The Plumbing Code of Australia is the technical standard for compliance throughout NSW. It is the responsibility of the plumbing regulator in each area to set requirements for inspections of on-site plumbing and drainage. Fair Trading’s area of operation includes all areas in which properties are provided with services (either drinking water, recycled water or a sewerage service) by Sydney Water Corporation or Hunter Water Corporation. This area of operation stretches from Gerringong in the south (the Illawarra), to Newcastle, Port Stephens and Dungog in the north (the Hunter), and west to Mount Victoria (Blue Mountains). The function of the plumbing regulator has been delegated by Fair Trading to local councils, county councils, or other qualified bodies. The delegation of the function has been accepted by local and county councils across NSW, with a small number of exceptions where the council declined the delegation. Below are two tables identifying the local authority for plumbing regulator functions, including conducting inspections, throughout NSW by local government area. Please Note: Onsite plumbing and drainage work does not include stormwater, fire suppression; work on network utility assets or roof plumbing. If you are a plumber or drainer in regional

  • Nowra Bridge Project, Pronces Highway, November 2013, Early Investigations, Display Posters
    Overview Nowra Bridge project Princes Highway upgrade NOVEMBER 2013 EARLY INVESTIGATIONS Roads and Maritime Services is starting early investigations to improve conditions on the Princes Highway over the Shoalhaven River in Nowra. The NSW Government has allocated funding to prepare technical studies, assess potential locations, and undertake environmental impact assessment and concept design work for a potential new river crossing. The investigations will look at how to maintain the existing southbound iron truss bridge, and whether it can remain in use. The project provides an opportunity to improve traffic conditions and manage traffic congestion around the bridges. Roads and Maritime has not decided if the southbound bridge will be replaced or kept, and community input will be an important part of this consideration. The Nowra Bridge project will also consider opportunities to look at both a future bypass During construction of the iron truss bridge of Nowra and a future railway corridor across the Shoalhaven River. Purpose of the project The Princes Highway in Nowra crosses the Shoalhaven River on two bridge structures. The first bridge structure, which carries southbound traffic, is an iron ‘Whipple’ truss bridge built in 1881. The second bridge structure, which carries northbound traffic, is a concrete bridge built in 1981. The southbound bridge is over 130 years old and has historical and community value. The two available traffic lanes are narrow and can experience heavy congestion. The bridge structure restricts the movement of oversize vehicles and is at risk of damage from over height vehicles that may collide with the structure when using the bridge.

  • Planning Statement
    Our Ref: DOC20/266610-3 Your Ref: Draft LSPS – e-mail dated 2 April 2020 General Manager Byron Shire Council PO Box 219 Mullumbimby NSW 2482 Attention: Ms Alex Caras Dear Mr Arnold RE: Byron Shire Council – Draft Local Strategic Planning Statement I refer to the e-mail from Mr Peter Cameron from the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment dated 2 April 2020 about the Byron Shire Council’s Draft Local Strategic Planning Statement (Draft LSPS), seeking comments from the Department’s Biodiversity and Conservation Division (BCD) in the Environment, Energy and Science Group. I appreciate the opportunity to provide input. The BCD was formerly part of the Office of Environment and Heritage, but now forms part of a Group that has responsibilities relating to biodiversity (including threatened species and ecological communities, or their habitats), Aboriginal cultural heritage, National Parks and Wildlife Service estate, climate change, sustainability, flooding, coastal and estuary matters. We have undertaken a comprehensive review of the Draft LSPS and its associated strategies and plans. While we recognise there are restrictions on the length of LSPSs, generally, the Draft LSPS lacks specific actions for the Byron Shire Council (BSC) to satisfy the Directions of the North Coast Regional Plan (NCRP). In addition, the LSPS may be unable to achieve the desired themes and planning priorities, based on the planning priorities and actions contained therein. These issues are discussed in detail in Attachment 1 to this letter. In summary, the BCD recommends that: 1. The additional actions set out in Attachment 1 of this letter should be included within the Draft LSPS to ensure that biodiversity values are identified and protected.

  • Local Goverment Activities
    APPENDIX 2C. LOCAL GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES RELATED TO NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT Little River Catchment Management Plan - Stage I Report App 2c.0 A) PLANNING Wellington Shire Council The first Wellington Local Environment Plan (LEP) was implemented in 1987 followed by a second LEP gazetted in 1995. Declining population numbers due to property amalgamation are a problem within the Wellington Shire. The council has introduced a subdivision policy, which does not allow the construction of a second home on a property. This policy may potentially inhibit population growth within the Shire. Council has an active policy of trying to attract industry to the shire. Development Applications are not required for developments within the shire except for intensive development. The village of Yeoval is zoned as General Rural 1A by Wellington Shire, whereas the portion in Cabonne Shire is zoned Village. Wellington Council is collating much of their data, including some vegetation mapping, using the Geographical Information System - Map Info. Dubbo City Council The area west of the Little River and north of Toongi is the only part of the Little River Catchment within the Dubbo Shire. It is classified as Zone 1 A – General Rural. The Dubbo Local Environmental Plan 1997 - Rural Areas was gazetted in 1998 and Council plans to update this every five years. The City of Dubbo is covered by a separate LEP. This is to ensure that a buffer zone remains between the rural areas and the expanding urban area. Rural zones have a minimum of 800 ha, whereas urban areas are zoned in lots of 25 ha.
