  • 7.8 North East Link - Bulleen Park
    Council Agenda 26/11/18 7.8 North East Link - Bulleen Park Abstract This report provides an update on the North East Link Authority (NELA) Bulleen Park land use planning project. It seeks Council support for an initial concept design for the Bulleen Park land use plan which incorporates the Boroondara Tennis Centre (BTC) and the 18-hole Freeway Golf Course (FGC). See Attachment 1 for an aerial image showing the project study area. NELA has initiated the study for the Bulleen Park area and has included the BTC and FGC in the project scope. Officers understand the aim of the project is to ensure no sporting club or facility is worse off as a result of the construction and operation of the North East Link (NEL). NELA has advised it intends to finalise the project by early 2019 for inclusion as an appendix in the NEL Environment Effects Statement (EES). NELA has conducted initial consultation about the project, with a workshop held at the Veneto Club on 8 August 2018. The workshop was attended by sporting clubs impacted by the NEL and Council representatives from Boroondara and Manningham. Officers understand NELA staff have also been meeting with sporting clubs and facility operators on an individual basis to discuss the project. Within a limited timeframe, Boroondara officers have prepared high-level concept plans for the FGC and BTC to be considered in the Bulleen Park land use planning study (Attachments 2 and 3). The plans respond to the impact of the NEL on several holes of the FGC by relocating the BTC to the same location and extending the FGC to land north of the current course edge located in Manningham.

  • 7.5. Final Outcomes of 2020 General Valuation
    Council Meeting Agenda 24/08/2020 7.5 Final outcomes of 2020 General Valuation Abstract This report provides detailed information in relation to the 2020 general valuation of all rateable property and recommends a Council resolution to receive the 1 January 2020 General Valuation in accordance with section 7AF of the Valuation of Land Act 1960. The overall movement in property valuations is as follows: Site Value Capital Improved Net Annual Value Value 2019 Valuations $82,606,592,900 $112,931,834,000 $5,713,810,200 2020 Valuations $86,992,773,300 $116,769,664,000 $5,904,236,100 Change $4,386,180,400 $3,837,830,000 $190,425,800 % Difference 5.31% 3.40% 3.33% The level of value date is 1 January 2020 and the new valuation came into effect from 1 July 2020 and is being used for apportioning rates for the 2020/21 financial year. The general valuation impacts the distribution of rating liability across the municipality. It does not provide Council with any additional revenue. The distribution of rates is affected each general valuation by the movement in the various property classes. The important point from an equity consideration is that all properties must be valued at a common date (i.e. 1 January 2020), so that all are affected by the same market. Large shifts in an individual property’s rate liability only occurs when there are large movements either in the value of a property category (e.g. residential, office, shops, industrial) or the value of certain locations, which are outside the general movements in value across all categories or locations.

  • Regional Councils of ACFE
    October 2007 Jacinta Allan MP Minister for Skills and Workforce Participation Level 36 121 Exhibition Street Melbourne 3000 Dear Minister, On behalf of the Adult, Community and Further Education (ACFE) Board, I submit the ACFE Board’s annual report for the year ending 30 June 2007, as required by the Financial Management Act 1994 and the Adult Community and Further Education Act 1991. Over the past 12 months the ACFE Board has continued to guide and direct the implementation of the directions outlined in the 2004 Ministerial Statement, Future Directions for Adult Community Education in Victoria. In this third year of implementation of the initiatives outlined in the Statement, much has been achieved in broadening the role of ACE, enhancing the quality and extent of delivery to recognised priority learner groups and ensuring that ACE provision continues to be sustainable. Statistical analysis of training in the ACE sector in 2006 shows that 71% of activity is in accredited programs, 45% of all training is in vocational programs, 25% in literacy and numeracy programs and 14% in employment skills programs. The outcomes for learners and the wider community of ACE participation have been the focus of two major research projects which were completed during the year - the ACE Longitudinal Study and Setting the Scene. The three year study of ACE learners tracked learners and showed that 63% of those studying in ACE who were unemployed in 2004 were employed in 2006. Participation in volunteering activity increased for all students whatever their labour market status from 27.4% in 2004 to 37% in 2006.

DESCRIPTORS Foreign Countries; *Mental Disorders; *Mental Health; *Prevention; Program Descriptions; Psychological Patterns; *Quality of Working Life; Well Being; *Work Environment IDENTIFIERS *Australia ABSTRACT In Australia, there is increasing attention being paid to the promotion of mental health and the prevention of serious mental disorder by policymakers, funders, academics and service providers. This has requireda shift in thinking to focus on health and well being, not just on illness and treatment. The National Action Plan for Promotion, Prevention and Early Intervention for Mental Health 2000 is a national framework endorsed by the National Mental Health Working Group and the National Public Health Partnership. The Action Plan 2000 identifies the important relationship between work and emotional and social well being and regards it as a priority area for action. The present edited volume on mental health and work seeks to address this significant issue from a variety of perspectives. It is hoped that this volume will increase knowledge and understanding of the inextricable relationship between work and mental health and influence the development and implementation of effective strategies to promote mental health and prevent mental disorders.
