I report also that at the time of writing this report the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) investigation was, according to advise received, in its final stages and its conclusions, findings and report will be presented to the ASADA Board soon after. Needless to say the AWF will be waiting and watching with intense interest on the outcome which will have enormous implication in the future of the Federation and the Sport. Currently, as you well know, the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) suspended the funding to the AWF due to concerns regarding compliance, finance and governance and whilst these concerns have been discussed with the ASC and to our understanding such concerns have been addressed and clarified, we are advised that the ASC will await the outcomes of the ASADA investigation before progressing all matters which of course includes any reinstatement of funding. The ASADA investigation which was announced one day before the Opening Ceremony of the M2006 Commonwealth Games has now been going on for over eight months during which time the Sport and the Federation has been absolutely drained and strangled and left to deal with the financial shortfalls the best way it can. The situation is critical as left without resource the responsibility has fallen on my personal shoulders and there is a limit to what I can do or for that matter how long I can sustain this support. At an earlier time it was reported to you by the CEO that the AWF met with representatives of the ASC to go through and discuss additional items of concern. A list of such items was made up and item by item we have gone through the process of progress and/or finalisation. The intent being that as a result of this exercise some relief funding might have been released. As stated above, even though most of the identified item have been completed or progressed to an acceptable level, the ASC will not release any funding. The AWF is in its first year of the restructuring process following the governance review and we are still evaluating some of the issues so that a review can take place. The establishment of programs necessary to ensure a strong structured and well planned growth has to occur. Development and implementation of long term effective strategic planning is another of our priorities as well as overcoming the shortage of manpower and financial resources. The appointment of Matthew Curtain as CEO has meant that the AWF office is now properly managed and importantly the lines of communication with our constituents have been re- established. The AWF Website has been regenerated and the financial affairs have been formalised. A lot more needs to be done and a number of Directors have made some very good suggestions essentially focusing on a radical review of the AWF's directions, priorities and fundamental planning - a new pathway to the future. One of the elements we can and must be proud of is the success we achieved at the M2006 Games. The AWF through the High Performance Program identified this, rightly or wrongly, as being pivotal to our future. We appropriated adequate funding for the program and spent many hours agonising on issues like selection criteria, athlete agreement, anti-doping matters and others. The success achieved was applauded by all and we must pay tribute to the team membership, the coaches, specially the Head Coach, and the general Management Team It was not unusual for the AWF to receive criticism; however, our strong stand was vindicated at the end. It remains for us all to look to the future, to work together as a team, and to look critically at ourselves and act rather than react to the issues confronting us. We are currently experiencing a difficult time but I believe that with the good will of the people we will prevail and take the Sport forward. On behalf of the Federation I would like to express our thanks to the Australian Sports Commission, the Australian Commonwealth Games Association, the Australian Olympic Committee and our Continental and International authorities namely the Oceania Weightlifting Federation and the International Weightlifting Federation for the financial and material support we have received. Our highest priority remains the procurement of a principal National Sponsor. Sponsorship has become a very difficult item made even more difficult by the hosting of the home Olympics and Commonwealth Games in the space of six years. The market place is resisting and sports like ours find it almost impossible to break through. But, break through we must as we need the additional resources to place our administration in a sound and viable base. I conclude this report by thanking the Board Directors and all the members of the various Committees and Programs for their contribution and support. My special thanks and congratulations to all the athletes, coaches, Technical Officials and State Officials for the success achieved and the work done throughout the period under review. I offer my personal thanks to Matthew Curtain, Luke Borreggine, Boris Kayser, Ian Moir and Ralph Cashman for their additional personal assistance and support. Sam Coffa AM, JP President REPORT • CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER Preamble I report on the activities of the Australian Weightlifting Federation (AWF) from the last twelve months having returned to office in April 2006; after completing my secondment tenure at the M2006 Commonwealth Games Corporation (M2006) as its Competition Manager, Weightlifting. Since the last Annual General Meeting in December 2005 the AWF Secretariat has continued to provide support to its members while coordinating and administrating the affairs and activities of the Federation at National and International level. Indeed, 2005-06 was a period of extreme diversity: from the unparalleled success of our team at the XVIII Commonwealth Games, winning 10 medals (including 4 Gold) to the adverse and damaging publicity during the ASADA investigation into allegations of possible doping violations linked to the Federation. The AWF acknowledges that in preparation for the Commonwealth Games a range of key tasks and responsibilities were completed in a less than satisfactory manner or timeframe. These included the completion of the audited 2004-05 financial statements, selection policies and communication to members and other major stakeholders. Despite these unpleasant factors to which the AWF takes full responsibility, I am pleased to report that notwithstanding the suspension of Government funding, the AWF is well on the way to restoring a level of service expected of a National Sporting Organisation. Specifically, through the appointment of new Directors and Officers to the Executive Board and Committees in 2006, active progress can be noted in the program areas of the Athletes’ Committee, High Performance and Coach Development. The AWF website (www.awf.com.au) is also back in operation with invaluable documents now readily available to members. These include the outcome of decisions made at Board meetings and financial summaries. Indeed, this tool has become an integral part of the daily communications process with members. And while other areas of the strategic and operational plan continue to need development and formalisation (e.g. athlete /team official selection policy, mass participation and sponsorship); the AWF believes its instrument of governance is working effectively, acknowledging however that its operation can always be improved. Board of Directors A great deal of work continues to be carried out by the Board of Directors, all of whom act in an honorary capacity. In 2006, as a result of a vacancy and Board restructuring, the AWF welcomed back past members Lyn Jones & Michael Keelan. Both of whom are experts in the field of corporate governance and coach education. Pursuant to the election of the AWF Athletes’ Committee in September,

  • Glasgow Athletes Return to Winners Circle in Hobart
    GLASGOW ATHLETES RETURN TO WINNERS CIRCLE IN HOBART Two Glasgow Commonwealth Games athletes on the comeback trail have set the scene for a high quality weekend of competition at the Australian Weightlifting Championships in Hobart. Vannara Be and Tegan Napper both lifted for Australia in 2014, but have had very little competition since. However they both showed they are well in the mix for selection for the Gold Coast next year with strong performances at the Royal Hobart Showgrounds on Friday. Melbourne’s Be only returned to the sport in January after three years away. “I was hoping to get to next Commonwealth Games, that’s why I’m back after taking three years off,” he said. “At the start of the year my coach called me up and asked if I was interested in making a comeback. I’m working two full time jobs at the moment, and trying to balance training. “It’s pretty hard. I’m trying to put a little bit more effort into training. I’ll probably drop my Saturday job and just work five days a week so I can train on Saturday.” Be said he was a little disappointed in his weights on Friday, but believes after winning the 62kg title the signs are good. Napper relocated from the Gold Coast to Adelaide after Glasgow, and has been battling injury. “They were not the best lifts today on the platform, hopefully I can improve on that later in the year,” Napper said after winning the 53kg title. “I just want to get as far as I can, and hopefully be in contention for Commonwealth Games by the end of the year.

  • History of the Commonwealth Games
    GAMES HISTORY INTRODUCTION In past centuries, the British Empire’s power and influence stretched all over the world. It started at the time of Elizabeth 1 when Sir Francis Drake and other explorers started to challenge the Portuguese and Spanish domination of the world. The modern Commonwealth was formed in 1949, with ‘British’ dropped from the name and with Logo of the Commonwealth many countries becoming independent, but Games Federation choosing to remain part of the group of nations called the Commonwealth. The first recorded Games between British Empire athletes were part of the celebrations for the Coronation of His Majesty King George V in 1911. The Games were called the 'Festival of Empire' and included Athletics, Boxing, Wrestling and Swimming events. At the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, the friendliness between the Empire athletes revived the idea of the Festival of Empire. Canadian, Bobby Robinson, called a meeting of British Empire sports representatives, who agreed to his proposal to hold the first Games in 1930 in Hamilton, Canada. From 1930 to 1950 the Games were called the British Empire Games, and until 1962 were called the British Empire and Commonwealth Games. From 1966 to 1974 they became the British Commonwealth Games and from 1978 onwards they have been known as the Commonwealth Games. HISTORY OF THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES 1930 British Empire Games Hamilton, Canada 16-23 August The first official Commonwealth Games, held in Hamilton, Canada in 1930 were called the British Empire Games. Competing Countries (11) Australia, Bermuda, British Guiana (now Guyana), Canada, England, Newfoundland (now part of Canada), New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Scotland, South Africa and Wales.

Climate Change and Cities: Second Assessment Report of the Urban Climate Change Research Network. Cambridge University Press. Annex 2 Climate Projections for ARC3.2 Cities (corrected) Presented here are climate projections for the ARC3-2 cities. ARC3.2 Cities include Case Study Docking Station cities, UCCRN Regional Hub cities, UCCRN project cities, and cities of ARC3.2 Chapter Authors. The projections are for three future timeslices (30-year periods for temperature and precipitation, 10-year periods for sea level rise) centered on the given decade (2020s, 2050s, 2080s). For each city, the range presented for each variable is the low-estimate (10th percentile) to high-estimate (90th percentile) across 35 GCMs and two RCPs for temperature and precipitation projections (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). Sea level rise projections are based on a four-component methodology that uses data from 24 GCMs and two RCPs (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5) and values are presented for only coastal cities1.

  • Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games: Implications for the Local Property Market
    The Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games: implications for the local property market Richard Reed* and Hao Wu (*contact author) Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning University of Melbourne Melbourne 3010 Victoria Australia Tel: +61 3 8344 8966 Fax: +61 3 8344 5532 Email: [email protected] Abstract for the 11th Annual Pacific Rim Real Estate Conference 23 - 27 January 2005 - Melbourne, Australia Keywords: Commonwealth games, major sporting event, infrastructure, property market, host city. Abstract: In 2006 Melbourne will host the 18th Commonwealth Games with Brisbane being the last Australian city to host this event over two decades ago in 1982. Melbourne has not held a major global sporting event since the 1956 Olympic Games, although the 2006 Commonwealth Games follows on from the successful 2000 Sydney Olympics. These sporting events have continued to grow from strength to strength, and have been assisted by Australia's close affiliation with sport and the widespread global media coverage. In a similar manner to other sporting events that Melbourne hosts, including the Australian Tennis Open, Formula One Grand Prix, Motorcycle Grand Prix, Melbourne Cup and Australian Football League, the city and its inhabitants are consumed by these events. The 2006 Commonwealth Games is certain to follow this trend. The task of hosting the Commonwealth Games is enormous, although actively pursued in a fierce bidding process by competing cities. The benefits are undisputed and include an influx of visitors to the host city, an opportunity to enhance or rebuild infrastructure such as transport, plus the worldwide focus on the host city before and during the event.
