INTRODUCTION This section outlines the context surrounding the Dairy Road site, Molonglo Group’s plans for the development, and the purpose of this report. 1.1 East Lake and Dairy Road context Dairy Road site The Molonglo Group’s Dairy Road site sits on Blocks 11 and 12, Section 38 Fyshwick, as shown in Figure 1. FIGURE 1: DAIRY ROAD SITE IMMEDIATE CONTEXT Source: SGS, 2018. Figure 2 below shows the site within the suburb of Fyshwick and the wider South Canberra context. The site is in reasonably close proximity to both the Canberra Airport and Railway Station. Dairy Road currently houses a range of light industrial and commercial businesses, including the Australian Government’s COMCAR depot and Pickles Auctions. The site is also home to Capital Brewing Company, a number of small creative industry businesses, and new businesses catering to specialised recreational activities, such as BlocHaus and Vertikal Indoor Snowsports. Update to Dairy Road Demographic and Community Needs Assessment 1 FIGURE 2: DAIRY ROAD SITE IN SOUTH CANBERRA CONTEXT Source: SGS, 2018. East Lake The Dairy Road site is part of the East Lake Urban Renewal area, shown below in Figure 3. This area was identified as a potential future development location in 2004 in the Canberra Spatial Plan. Subsequent years have seen a number of planning studies undertaken for the site and its future development. The ACT Government’s vision is for the area to: “… become a lively, high-density urban community providing an Australian showcase of sustainable development. It is expected to provide a mix of housing choice in an environment of high quality open space and public realm, well connected to existing and new shops, employment opportunities, schools and other facilities.”1 Planning for the land at East Lake has undergone several iterations with different development scenarios put forward. Previous estimates have identified potential for up to 9,000 people to be accommodated in the area, with housing predominantly medium and higher density dwellings, and some industrial and commercial uses to be retained. 1 ACTPLA, 2007, ‘East Lake Urban Renewal,’ Fact Sheet, http://www.planning.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0009/890991/East_Lake_Urban_Renewal.pdf Update to Dairy Road Demographic and Community Needs Assessment 2 FIGURE 3: EAST LAKE URBAN RENEWAL AREA Source: ACTPLA, 2007. Current planning and land release Planning for the development of the government-owned land at East Lake has been narrowed considerably from the study area shown in Figure 3, and is likely to include land adjacent the railway station and the Kingston Foreshore, fronting onto the Wetlands. Sites at East Lake have been put on the ACT Government’s current Indicative Land Release Program (ILRP), subject to Territory Plan Variations. In the 2020-21 financial year, 330 residential dwellings are slated for release, and a further 300 in the 2021-22 financial year.2 Jerrabomberra Wetlands Sustainability has also been an important aspect of the planning for East Lake, given its proximity to the Wetlands. The Wetlands Reserve covers around 200 hectares of land, and provides important habitat for local and migratory birds. The Wetlands is one of the most important wetland habitats in the ACT, and has an important role in Canberra’s biodiversity.3 In 2016 the ACT Government and Jerrabomberra Wetlands Management Committee produced a Concept Plan setting a strategy and design framework for the future of the Jerrabomberra Wetlands.4 The 2016 Concept Plan considers the relationship of the Reserve to future development in the East Lake area. The Jerrabomberra Wetlands Management Committee and the Molonglo Group have further collaborated to explore how the respective visions of the 2016 Wetlands Concept Plan, the vision for Dairy Road and the Government's vision for East Lake can be integrated. This integration study will guide and inform future built form, pedestrian and cycle connectivity, and capital works to protect existing habitats, develop additional terrestrial ecosystems and habitats, deliver world class visitor infrastructure, and develop environmental guidelines for capital works. 2 ACT Government, 2018, ‘Indicative Land Release Program 2018-19 to 2021-22.’ http://www.planning.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/1207295/Indicative-Land-Release-Program-2018-19.pdf 3 ACT Government, 2010, ‘Jerrabomberra Wetlands Nature Reserve Plan of Management 2010,’ https://www.environment.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/390673/WEB_Jerrabomberra_MP.pdf 4 See Woodlands and Wetlands Trust, 2018, ‘Enhancing,’ https://jerrabomberrawetlands.org.au/the-reserve/enhancing/ Update to Dairy Road Demographic and Community Needs Assessment 3 1.2 Molonglo Group’s proposed development The proposed development site is bound by Dairy Road, the Monaro Highway, the railway line which links into Canberra’s railway station in Kingston, and the southern edge of the Jerrabomberra Wetlands. The Dairy Road development is expected to include mixed use facilities incorporating space for commercial premises, apartments and some town houses.

  • Section C C.1 Risk Management and Internal Audit
    Section C C.1 Risk Management and Internal Audit Internal Audit The Directorate’s Audit Committee oversees, on behalf of the Director-General, the Directorate’s governance, risk, compliance and internal control environments, and provides assurance as to their effectiveness. The Committee acts independently of management. The EDD Audit Committee Charter was reviewed and agreed (with only minor amendments) in November 2012. There were no changes to the membership of the Audit Committee during the financial year. Annual and forward audit programs are guided by governance, risk and compliance programs and are supported by an Audit Recommendations Implementation Register. The Directorate’s three-year internal audit program was agreed by the Senior Executive Committee and by the Audit Committee in November 2012, with the program including a balance of compliance and performance audits across the three years. A significant matter of interest for the EDD Audit Committee during this reporting year was the implementation of recommendations identified by the Auditor-General during the 2011-12 financial audit, to improve the control framework in place within the Directorate. By the end of the 2012-13 reporting year the majority of recommendations had been addressed and completed. The Audit Committee specifically congratulated the relevant areas of the Directorate on their work in documenting and improving governance and control processes. Four internal audits were completed during the reporting year, with a further three internal audits undertaken but not yet complete at the end of the year. The internal audits completed and presented to the EDD Audit Committee during the 2012-13 reporting year were: • Follow Up Audit – Territory Venues and Events – November 2012 • Review of credit card usage – May 2013 • Review of the payment of invoices – May 2013 • Review of salary acquittal reports – June 2013 The EDD Audit Committee met on six occasions during 2012-13.

  • Ballpark FAQS
    Ballpark FAQS How will parking be improved as part of this upgrade? The ACT Government has introduced parking restrictions in the area surrounding the Ballpark along Goyder Street on game days to relieve traffic congestion and to minimise disruption to local residents. Active Canberra has already undertaken a traffic and parking assessment for the sporting precinct, and will work with Roads ACT to make improvements to the current parking arrangements including the formalisation of Kyeema Street. How will noise be addressed? As the Ballpark is in a residential area, the ACT Government understands the importance of keeping noise to acceptable levels, and is looking at how we can ensure disruption to residents in the immediate vicinity is minimised. Although crowd noise is not regulated under the Environment Protection Act 1997 [Section 8 (1) (c)], noise mitigation (i.e. music, PA system) will be a consideration as part of the design. We will be looking at the acoustics of the venue, along with the PA systems to make sure they are installed in the most efficient manner possible to minimise noise spill to near neighbours. In addition, Active Canberra will work with the Canberra Cavalry in developing a Noise and Light Management Plan for the Ballpark. Approval of the plan by the Environment Protection Agency will be sought to ensure it meets all regulatory requirements. Active Canberra will also introduce a curfew, commencing in the 2016/17 season, at the Ballpark that will introduce a restriction on how late games can be played at the venue. The Australian Baseball League (ABL) has also recently introduced new rules for ABL games that assists in reducing the length of games if extra innings are required.

What a wonderful start to the 2021 year! I have loved watching our staff and students return – all ready to engage in what hopefully will be a kinder learning year than 2020! I must congratulate our Preschool, Kindy and year 7 students, who have settled into their new routines quickly – and especially thank all of our school community for making them feel so welcome. It is so wonderful to have families back on site – and I cannot wait to be able to recommence some of the amazing Gold Creek events to continue building strong partnerships. I am privileged to be leading Gold Creek this term, and I know that our team of staff are excited to continue providing a strong learning community. This year marks an important milestone in our continued School Improvement journey (2018-2020), as we welcome teams from both our International Baccalaureate programmes (PYP and MYP) and the ACT Education Directorate panels to help us reflect and develop our next strategic plan moving into the future. Staff have spent considerable time undertaking a self-study to explore our impact implementing IB as well as looking at our successes and next steps in our two priority areas –Literate Global Citizens, and Strong Learning Communities. During next week both these panels will be joining us (both virtually and onsite) to explore what we do – great teaching and learning! Our reflections during this process
