  • Communication Licence Rent
    Communication licences Fact sheet Communication licence rent In November 2018, the NSW Premier had the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) undertake a review of Rental arrangements for communication towers on Crown land. In November 2019, IPART released its final report to the NSW Government. To provide certainty to tenure holders while the government considers the report, implementation of any changes to the current fee structure will apply from the next renewal or review on or after 1 July 2021. In the interim, all communication tenures on Crown land will be managed under the 2013 IPART fee schedule, or respective existing licence conditions, adjusted by the consumer price index where applicable. In July 2014, the NSW Government adopted all 23 recommendations of the IPART 2013 report, including a rental fee schedule. Visit www.ipart.nsw.gov.au to see the IPART 2013 report. Density classification and rent calculation The annual rent for communication facilities located on a standard site depends on the type of occupation and the location of the facilities. In line with the IPART 2013 report recommendations, NSW is divided into four density classifications, and these determine the annual rent for each site. Table 1 defines these classifications. Annexure A further details the affected local government areas and urban centres and localities (UCLs) of the classifications. Figure 1 shows the location of the classifications. A primary user of a site who owns and maintains the communication infrastructure will incur the rent figures in Table 2. A co-user of a site will be charged rent of 50% that of a primary user.

    Report Cover Page ACERA Project 0605 Title Statistical Methods for Biosecurity Monitoring and Surveillance Author(s) / Address (es) David Fox, University of Melbourne Material Type and Status (Internal draft, Final Technical or Project report, Manuscript, Manual, Software) Final Report Summary This report investigates the applicability of traditional methods of analysing surveillance data to biosecurity risks, and explores some more recent innovations designed to detect subtle trends and anomalous behaviour in data over space and time. In particular, it examines control charting and syndromic surveillance methods, and explores how useful they are likely to be in dealing with typical biosecurity disease and pest surveillance. If focuses on disease detection, and methods for optimising surveillance networks and robust methods for minimising levels of inspection. This work provides a proof of concept of these approaches. The case studies, while based on real contexts, are intended only to be illustrative. If the tools are considered to be potentially useful, the next stage would involve development of specific applications to trial their utility.

Background The project location is Oallen Rd, a 14 km stretch of road between the intersection with Nerriga Road and the Shoalhaven River at Oallen Ford. The road traverses a diversity of native vegetation communities, agricultural use and forestry operations. The native vegetation is mixed age grassy woodland and dry sclerophyll forests in moderate to good condition, including Tableland Snow Gum Woodland Endangered Ecological Community (EEC) and Box Gum Woodland EEC, as well as threatened species such as the endangered orchids Genoplesium superbum and Corunastylis superba. Weed mapping along Oallen Road was completed early in the project. Initial roadside vegetation surveys were conducted in collaboration with Southern Rivers Catchment Management Authority (CMA) to identify high conservation value sites. Photo points were established and a weed removal plan was developed. Implementation Weed control and site rehabilitation The project weed control focussed on the felling of pine trees and management of debris on-site, including use in erosion gully control. Council’s noxious weed program coordinated with this project to treat the prevalent Tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima ), which was also impacting on the site.
