Answer— Two. One site was closed in the 1960s and the remaining site is managed in accordance with the Contaminated Lands Act. There is no public access to these areas. *1518 PREMIER—GOVERNMENT'S USER CHARGES POLICY—Mr Primrose asked the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Minister for the Hunter, and Vice-President of the Executive Council representing the Premier, and Minister for Western Sydney— (a) Is the Government's User Charges Policy being reviewed by the Department of Premier and Cabinet's Community Engagement and Events Division? (b) If so, when is the review expected to be finalised? Answer— The Protocol and Special Events branch in the Department of Premier and Cabinet is reviewing the Whole of Government Policy for the Application of User Charges for Major and Special Events and discussions with key stakeholders are ongoing. *1519 POLICE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES—NSW POLICE FORCE'S USER CHARGES POLICY—Mr Primrose asked the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Minister for the Hunter, and Vice- President of the Executive Council— (1) In 2011, was the Hawkesbury District Agricultural Association levied under the New South Wales Police Force's User Charges Policy? (2) If so, what was the amount of the charges levied on the Association? (3) In 2012, was the Hawkesbury District Agricultural Association levied under the New South Wales Police Force's User Charges Policy? (4) If so, what was the amount of the charges levied on the Association? Answer— The NSW Police Force has advised me that the NSW Police Force's User Charges Policy complies with the NSW Government User Charges Policy which outlines criteria under which exemptions or waivers may be granted by Government agencies. I am advised that the Hawkesbury Agricultural Show has been levied under the NSW Police Force User Charges and Cost Recovery Policy in previous years and provided substantial discounts. The NSW Police Force does not make a profit from this policy and only recovers costs. These charges help to ensure that policing strength is maintained across a Local Area Command during the time an event is being run. Local Area Commanders review each application for policing services for the event and apply the NSW Police Force's User Charges Policy to determine any application from the organisation for a fee exemption or reduction. If the Hawkesbury District Agricultural Association wishes to query a quote received for the policing of their event, they may seek an internal review by writing directly to their NSW Police Force Local Area Commander. 1790 Legislative Council Questions and Answers No. 96— Tuesday 14 August 2012 *1520 POLICE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES—NSW POLICE FORCE'S CHARGES POLICY—Mr Primrose asked the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Minister for the Hunter, and Vice- President of the Executive Council— (1) In 2011, which agricultural show societies were levied under the New South Wales Police Force's User Charges Policy? (2) What was the amount of the charges levied on each society? (3) In 2012, which agricultural show societies to date have been levied under the New South Wales Police Force's User Charges Policy? (4) What was the amount of the charges levied on each society? Answer— The NSW Police Force has advised me that its User Charges Policy complies with the NSW Government User Charges Policy, which outlines criteria under which exemptions or waivers may be granted by Government agencies. These criteria include whether an event is being run solely for the benefit of a charitable or community organisation. In accordance with this policy, agricultural shows are considered special events and may be considered for an exemption or reduction in user charges fees, depending on an assessment by the relevant Local Area Commander against particular criteria, including whether the event is free of charge to spectators or not. 23 MAY 2012 (Paper No. 85) *1521 PRIMARY INDUSTRIES—YIELD REVIEWS—Mr Shoebridge asked the Minister for Roads and Ports representing the Minister for Primary Industries, and Minister for Small Business— (1) How frequently are yield reviews of state forests conducted by Forests NSW? (2) What are the 2012⁄2013 predicted yields for the following areas of state forest in New South Wales: (a) Central Region? (b) Northeast Region? (c) Southern Region? (d) Western Region? (3) What is the required yield from each of the following areas of state forest for 2012⁄2013 under the 2004 Wood Supply Agreement: (a) Central Region? (b) Northeast Region? (c) Southern Region? (d) Western Region? (4) What strategies are in place to adjust Wood Supply Agreements in light of yield reviews undertaken by Forests NSW? Answer— (1) As required for internal planning and external reporting purposes. The South Coast, Tumbarumba and Eden were recently reviewed and are available on Forests NSW website. The NSW Auditor General reviewed Forests NSW hardwood yield estimates in 2009 and published the results in its report "Sustaining Native Forest Operations". (2) Yield forecasts are usually modelled over a five year period and are published on Forests NSW website: www.dpi.nsw.gov.au⁄forests⁄management⁄reporting⁄audit. (3) This question cannot be answered in its current form, as there is not one "2004 Wood Supply Agreement" covering these regions. (4) With reference to the regions referred to in Questions (2) and (3), there are no strategies in place to adjust Wood Supply Agreements in light of the yield reviews undertaken by Forests NSW. 1791 Legislative Council Questions and Answers No. 96— Tuesday 14 August 2012 *1522 PRIMARY INDUSTRIES—FORESTS NSW TENDERING PRACTICES—Mr Shoebridge asked the Minister for Roads and Ports representing the Minister for Primary Industries, and Minister for Small Business— (1) How many harvesting contracts were issued by Forests NSW for the following periods: (a) 2009⁄2010? (b) 2010⁄2011? (c) 2011 to date? (2) Of the harvesting contracts issued by Forests NSW during the following periods, how many were made available for public tender: (a) 2009⁄2010? (b) 2010⁄2011? (c) 2011 to date? (3) Of the harvesting contracts issued by Forests NSW during the following periods, how many were not made available for public tender: (a) 2009⁄2010? (b) 2010⁄2011? (c) 2011 to date? (4) For each of the tenders with harvesting contractors that were not made public between 2009 and 2012, what reasons were given by Forests NSW for awarding the contract without a public call for tender? (5) Of the tenders awarded to contractors over the following periods, how many tenders were awarded to operators working in Tasmania, or to operators who have worked in Tasmania within the last three years: (a) 2009⁄2010? (b) 2010⁄2011? (c) 2011 to date? Answer— (1) (a) 10 (b) 24 (c) 34 (2) and (3) The majority of harvesting work for Forests NSW was made available through public tender at some stage. Due to reasons outlined in (4) below, the expiry of contracts or the withdrawal of services by contractors does not always coincide with the planned timeframes for tendering. The current harvesting work not under a long-term contract has been tendered recently and letting of contracts is expected by the end of 2012. (4) Forests NSW has over recent years engaged the services of contractors to undertake forest harvesting activities on a short term basis (6 months to 2 years) through direct negotiation. Short term engagement of contractors is essential pending the letting of long-term contracts by tender and has regard to: changing market conditions; required and available contractor capacity; and climatic conditions (ie wet weather).

    © Copyright Australian Museum, 2003 Records of the Australian Museum (2003) Vol. 55: 117–140. ISSN 0067-1975 Spiophanes Species (Polychaeta: Spionidae) From Eastern Australia—With Descriptions of New Species, New Records and an Emended Generic Diagnosis KARIN MEIßNER1* AND PAT A. HUTCHINGS Marine Invertebrate Division, Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney NSW 2010, Australia [email protected] · [email protected] 1 Current address: Institut fuer Angewandte Oekologie, Alte Dorfstraße 11, 18184 Neu Broderstorf bei Rostock, Germany ABSTRACT. The Spiophanes fauna from Eastern Australia is described, and includes 5 new species (S. modestus, S. viriosus, S. prestigium, S. pisinnus, S. dubitalis) and 1 new record (S. japonicum Imajima, 1991). The generic diagnosis of Spiophanes is revised based on type and non-type material of all species in the genus, and a critical evaluation is also given of the characters previously used to distinguish Spiophanes species. A new diagnostic character, the appearance of gland openings exhibiting a chaetal spreader on the anterior chaetigers of the middle body region, is described. Spiophanes japonicum is removed from synonymy with S. berkeleyorum Pettibone, 1962. Spiophanes urceolata Imajima, 1991, is synonymized with S. wigleyi Pettibone, 1962. A key to all Spiophanes species known from Eastern Australia is given. MEISSNER, KARIN, & PAT A. HUTCHINGS, 2003.

  • The Australian Beachspace: Flagging the Spaces of Australian Beach Texts
    THE AUSTRALIAN BEACHSPACE: FLAGGING THE SPACES OF AUSTRALIAN BEACH TEXTS Elizabeth Ellison Bachelor of Creative Industries (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Creative Writing and Literary Studies Discipline School of Media, Entertainment, and Creative Arts Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2013 Supervisory Team Principal Supervisor Dr Lesley Hawkes Creative Writing and Literary Studies Associate Supervisor Dr Sean Maher Film, Television and New Media ii The Australian Beachspace: flagging the spaces of Australian beach texts Keywords Australian beaches, Australian film, Australian literature, Australian studies, gender studies, Indigenous film, Indigenous literature, spatial studies, Thirdspace, beachspace The Australian Beachspace: flagging the spaces of Australian beach texts iii Abstract The Australian beach is a significant component of the Australian culture and a way of life. The Australian Beachspace explores existing research about the Australian beach from a cultural and Australian studies perspective. Initially, the beach in Australian studies has been established within a binary opposition. Fiske, Hodge, and Turner (1987) pioneered the concept of the beach as a mythic space, simultaneously beautiful but abstract. In comparison, Meaghan Morris (1998) suggested that the beach was in fact an ordinary or everyday space. The research intervenes in previous discussions, suggesting that the Australian beach needs to be explored in spatial terms as well as cultural ones. The thesis suggests the beach is more than these previously established binaries and uses Soja’s theory of Thirdspace (1996) to posit the term beachspace as a way of describing this complex site. The beachspace is a lived space that encompasses both the mythic and ordinary and more.

  • Submission Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park
    Submission Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park ISSUE: Opportunity to maintain and build positive outcomes related to boating SUBJECT: Plan of Management for Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park SUBMISSION: • The Boating Industry Association is the peak industry body which represents the interests of recreational and light commercial boating industry businesses and is an advocate for boaters’ interests. • Boating contributes to significant social, economic and environmental benefits. Strategic context • In NSW, the State Government support an integrated strategic approach to the waterways that spans safety, infrastructure, social, economic and environmental benefits. The BIA supports such a balanced approach and commends it to the process of updating of Plan of Management for Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park (the Plan). Some of the key NSW State Government strategies are: o The NSW Premier's Priorities1 aim to deliver social and economic benefits and quality local environments. The priorities include the following goals: - a strong economy - education - well-connected communities with quality local environments - putting the customer at the centre of everything the State Government does - make the state of NSW the best place to live, work and play. o The NSW State Government Intergenerational Report2 suggests the NSW population is projected to grow by around 1.0 per cent each year, to 11.2 million in 2056. It also shows we are strongly placed to face the future. As it currently stands, and not to forget those in our community who are less fortunate, we are collectively wealthier, living longer and better educated than ever before; and settling in coastal areas for the lifestyle benefits which include boating.
