This report summarises the work of the Taskforce, provides an overview of Wollongong’s live music ecology, and recommends actions for the consideration of Council. In developing their recommendations, the Taskforce has identified areas where Council and law enforcement policy can play a strategic role in optimising live music in Wollongong,

  • No. 420 Illawarra Folk Festival
    Submission No 420 INQUIRY INTO THE MUSIC AND ARTS ECONOMY IN NEW SOUTH WALES Organisation: Illawarra Folk Festival Date Received: 2 July 2018 Legislative Council The Music and Arts Economy in NSW Introducing the Illawarra Folk Club, presenters of Folk Music in the Illawarra The Illawarra Folk Club Inc was established in 1979 as a not for profit organisation and has over this time run fortnightly Folk Music concerts in central Wollongong and throughout the Illawarra. We have run 33 annual Folk Festivals since 1986, initially at Jamberoo which we outgrew. The current version of the Illawarra Folk Festival attracts an aggregate 10,000 people with up to 12 stages over 4 days. It runs in January every year at the Bulli Raceway GBOTA site, the adjoining Bulli Showground and the Bulli Grevillia Park. This Festival attracts about 1500 on site campers and 400 volunteers giving a total of 5,000 hours of free help. The event puts $1.5 million into the local economy. We believe that this festival is the largest volunteer run festival in Australia In addition to the Illawarra Folk Festival we ran for a number of years a small one day festival on the Jamberoo to Robertson Road and since 2012 we also have run the smaller Folk by the Sea Festival at the Kiama Showground and Church Point precinct of Kiama. This event attracts 2,000 people over the 3 days including about 150 campers. Both events include a festival licensed bar. Both our festivals are wrist band entry only, for a day or for the entire festival.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Illawarra Co-‐operatives: The irsF t One Hundred Years Abstract The hope nda promise of co-operative marketing were to return all profits fairly ot the producers and to control the price of dairy products through collective market power. Soon the South Coast and West Camden Co-op opened its own selling floors in Sussex Street, Sydney. Illawarra and Shoalhaven farmers immediately withdrew their consignments from ‘the system’ and sent their produce instead to the fledgling co-operative. On Mondays and Thursdays steamers arrived from Wollongong, Kiama and Shoalhaven. Carrier after carrier had to be engaged to convey the butter, bacon and cheese sent from the South Coast to the Co-op’s floor while many agents had nothing else to do but stand outside their doors and watch their business disappear, their carts returned empty from the wharf. The oC -op finished business on the evening of its opening day with all its consignments sold at a very good price.

  • Moves to Rename Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium to Lang Park in Legislation
    • OCTOBER 15 2016 Moves to rename Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium to Lang Park in legislation Felicity Caldwell The name "Lang Park" strikes fear into the hea1is of southerners and should be resunected, the LNP has argued. The Queensland Opposition plans to move an amendment to rename Suncorp Stadium from "Brisbane Stadium" to "Lang Park" in a bill before the House. Lang Park was established in 1914, named after John Dunmore Lang - a minister and politician - and renamed Suncorp Stadium in 1994. On Thursday night, as paii of debate on the Major Sp01is Facilities and Other Legislation Amendment Bill, member for Beaudesert Jon Krause said he would move an amendment to change the name to Lang Park within the legislation. Mr Krause said most Queenslanders would support the name change for the "spiritual home of mgby league in Queensland". "I know that most members of this House who have grown up knowing this stadium as Lang Park, and enjoying rngby league there over the last decades, would support this amendment being moved in consideration in detail," Mr Krause said. "If we took a straw poll of Queens landers I dare say most people would agree with that." Member for Glass House Andrew Powell, who grew up in NSW, said he remembered the fear the words "Lang Park" instilled in Cockroach supporters in Sydney at the time. A statue of Wally Lewis which stands outside Sunsorp Stadium, or Lang Park as traditionalists call it. Photo: Cameron Spencer "It still does," he said. "I think we should take any opp01iunity we have here in Queensland to ram that down any supp01ier of the NSW rngby league team or any other sporting code that uses that facility," Mr Powell said.

  • Background to the University of Queensland Archaeological Services Unit's Lang Park Salvage Excavations
    Background to the University of Queensland Archaeological Services Unit’s Lang Park Salvage Excavations: History, Significance Assessment and Methods Kevin Rains1 and Jonathan Prangnell2 1 School of Social Science, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, 4072, Australia 2 University of Queensland Archaeological Services Unit, School of Social Science, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, 4072, Australia Brisbane’s major football venue, Lang Park, is undergoing a $280 million redevelopment. As part of this project the University of Queensland Archaeological Services Unit (UQASU) developed a cultural heritage management plan for the site. UQASU identified that the Lang Park site once housed a number of historic cemeteries, dating from the 1840s, and an early brick drain. These were assessed to be of high cultural heritage significance, and in 2000 UQASU formulated policies and strategies for their management. In 2001, UQASU began the salvage of those parts of the culturally significant elements that were to be deleteriously affected by earthworks and building activity. To date 397 burials have been exhumed. Introduction In November 1999 the Queensland Government announced a major redevelopment of the Lang Park football ground to provide Brisbane with a purpose-built rectangular stadium comparable to the Millennium Stadium in Wales. The Lang Park redevelopment site is situated in Milton, an inner western suburb of Brisbane, some 1.6km from the city centre. It covers 7.4ha bounded by Caxton, Hale, Chippendall and Castlemaine streets (Figure 1). The Department of Communication and Information, Local Government, Planning and Sport formed a Stadium Development Group to oversee planning for the project (HOK Sport and PDT Architects 2001:4).
