In further media statements, BlueScope confirmed that a target to save approximately $200 million a year had been implemented to keep Port Kembla steel operations viable, and further confirmed a $50 per tonne savings target had been introduced which represented around 10% of the cost of making steel. In response to these statements, a report by the University of Wollongong prepared for the Australian Workers’ Union Port Kembla, titled “Regional Economic Impacts of a Closure of BlueScope Steel Operations in Port Kembla” was commissioned, and released last week. The report focused on the assumption of a complete shutdown of BlueScope Steel Port Kembla and the flow-on impact to the region, with key findings of: An estimated $3.3b loss to gross regional product (GRP) – current GRP for the Illawarra region is $15.5b; Loss of an estimated 10,000 jobs. Even a partial closure or shutdown would have wide-ranging negative effects on our regional economy. The Australian Steel Institute has long been advocating that stricter local content policies be applied to Government and private projects where Government has financial involvement. There is inconsistency across States in this regard with some States such as Victoria mandating a 25% local content on publicly-funded projects and those deemed of strategic importance. Other regions across Australia have embarked on regional strategies to maximise the economic and social impact of regional spend on major projects and the routine procurement spend across government and private sectors. These strategies ensure that public and private sector organisations in the region understand the value of their procurement spend to regional growth and sustainability and, in whatever ways they can, commit to identifying opportunities to grow both local content and social outcomes through their procurement policies and practices. Key to the strategies is ensuring that local suppliers who are creating local jobs are actively included in value supply chains and social procurement (ensuring that social and economic outcomes are actively considered in procurement processes). All stakeholders have a role to play in supporting and strengthening local economic capacity and preserving the steelmaking industry. Ordinary Meeting of Council 24 August 2015 A2 Wollongong City Council’s Sustainable Procurement Policy supports the strengthening of local economic capacity through procurement management procedures with criteria to assist local firms to obtain business with Council based upon the following strategies: a Quotations - Council will give preference to a local supplier if the assessment of all selection criteria is equal; or b Tenders – A criterion weighted at 5% for strengthening of local economy with the following five criteria being considered in all tenders: (i) An existing legitimate business premises in WCC local area; (ii) Locally sourced materials (grown, manufactured, assembled, made within the WCC local area) specific to the contract; (iii) Locally sourced services as a result of the contract (eg maintenance); (iv) Locally sourced labour (people domiciled within the WCC local area), either sub-contractors or employees; and (v) Locally sourced labour and materials from a business premise in the WCC local area. I THEREFORE MOVE THAT - 1 Council write to relevant Federal and State Ministers, local Members of Parliament and relevant Trade Unions, seeking their support and advocacy to maximise Australian steel content in all State and Federal Government procurement contracts and tenders. 2 Council explore options to support the viability of BlueScope Steel Port Kembla, including prioritising the development of a strategic centre-led approach to procurement policies and procedures to further strengthen local economic capacity. 3 Council seek the support of all stakeholders to commit to working collaboratively to support the steelmaking industry and steel value chain to achieve a positive outcome for the region. Ordinary Meeting of Council 24 August 2015 1 REF: CM165/15 File: Z15/68124 ITEM 1 GLENIFFER BRAE CALL FOR PROPOSALS SUBMISSIONS On 8 September 2014, Council resolved to undertake a Call for Proposals process to receive submissions from interested parties for the future use of the area at Gleniffer Brae not under lease by the Conservatorium of Music. The Call for Proposals process has now been completed. This report details the options available to Council as a result of that process and recommends Council prepare a draft Planning Proposal to add Function Centre as a permissible use on the site and commence a review of the Botanic Garden Plan of Management and the Gleniffer Brae Conservation Management Plan to progress suitable uses. RECOMMENDATION 1 The outcomes of the Call for Proposals process be noted. 2 A review of the Botanic Garden Plan of Management and Gleniffer Brae Conservation Management Plan commence. 3 The draft Plan of Management and Conservation Management Plan be reported to Council for endorsement prior to exhibition. 4 A draft Planning Proposal be prepared to add ‘Function Centre’ as a permissible use in the RE1 Public Recreation zone for the Gleniffer Brae site through a Schedule 1 amendment and referred to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment for Gateway determination prior. The exhibition of the draft Planning Proposal occur concurrently with the draft Botanic Garden Plan of Management. 5 Letters be sent to the Call for Proposals submitters advising them that a Tender process will be required and will be undertaken following the review of the Plan of Management and finalisation of the Planning Proposal. 6 In the interim period, the part of Gleniffer Brae not under lease by the Conservatorium of Music

  • When a Professor at the University of Toulouse Conducted a Summer
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 391 070 CE 070 675 AUTHOR Williamson, Alan TITLE The University of the Third Age (U3A) Movement and Its Rise in New South Wales: In the Great Tradition of Liberal Adult Education? PUB DATE 95 NOTE 36p. PUB TYPE Reports Research/Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Adult Education; *Educational Development; *Educational History; Educational Research; Foreign Countries; Liberal Arts; *Older Adults; *Universities IDENTIFIERS *Australia (New South Wales); *Universities of the Third Age ABSTRACT This paper begins with a brief history of the University of the Third Age (U3A) ,which began in France in 1972, when a professor at the University of Toulouse conducted a summer school for retired people with a program of lectures, concerts, guided tours, and other cu.tural activities. It identifies the defining characteristic of the U3A movement in France as its attachment to the term "university." In Britain, the U3A movement was the creation of its members who decided what was to be taught, by whom, in what ways, and at what cost. U3A was relatively late in coming to Australia. The first groups were established in Melbourne in 1984 and continued to grow and epitomize the community-based, do-it-yourself British model. Following eight pages of background, information obtained through a survey of 16 U3As in New South Wales is presented as vignettes, arranged in the chronological order in which the U3As were established. Each U3A is introduced and its regular and distinctive features are highlighted. A conclusion suggests that whether the U3A movement in Australia is in the tradition of British liberal adult education is not the real issue; the re.i issue is whether, as a movement whose time had come in the 1970s, U3A can sustain its momentum through the 1990s into the 21st century and beyond.

Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Corruption tactics: outrage management in a local government scandal Abstract A mobilised citizenry is a threat to corrupt operations. Therefore, those involved in behaviours potentially labelled as corrupt have an interest in minimising public outrage. Five ways of doing this are to hide the activity, denigrate opponents, reinterpret actions as legitimate, use official channels to give an appearance of justice, and intimidate or bribe people involved. A local government scandal in Wollongong, Australia, illustrates all these tactics, with public hearings and media coverage providing volumes of revealing information. The implication of this analysis is that anti-corruption efforts should emphasise ways of increasing public outrage.
