Wollongong City Council, by virtue of having excellent dams nearby which provide a life resource to our City and outlying areas, had recently written to the NSW Government requesting cessation of coal seam gas mining in or near water catchment areas. These three sites, though not in the Illawarra, were de-licensed by the State Government for compliance factors. A State Government, strong enough to make strong decisions for the well-being of the community, should be commended by all. Whilst commending the Premier and his Government, it should be mentioned that our NSW Liberal State Government whilst being an advocate for entrepreneurial ventures to broaden and strengthen the State of NSW, has also wisely taken a sword to the blind stance of the previous NSW Labor State Government which provided numerous exploration licences without full and complete justification or concern for the State’s future water resources. This cannot be forgotten. Wollongong is bound by the sea and mountain, with water catchment areas within our immediate region. We, the people of Wollongong, and I have received many requests from locals, are totally concerned for the future of our water supply, and the future of our Ordinary Meeting of Council 24 November 2014 2 children’s children, and beyond. The people of this great City want to ensure that a legacy of benefit is given to our future and our water resources are definitely a top priority. There are several identifiable licences which could be named, but having a general stance of limitation, or cessation of licences in all water catchment areas, will cover such menacing activities. Ordinary Meeting of Council 24 November 2014 3 REF: CM294/14 File: Z14/437392 ITEM 1 POLICY REVIEW - DOGS ON BEACHES AND PARKS This report to be read in conjunction with Item 2. Council may move a Procedural Motion to consider and debate the items together. On 28 July 2014 Council resolved to place on exhibition an amended Draft Dogs on Beaches and Parks Policy. The Draft Policy included significant changes to the current off-leash areas at Sharky’s, Little Austinmer, McCauley’s and Stanwell Park Beaches and the Bellambi Boat Harbour. The Draft Policy also included provisions to improve signage and transition areas at beaches and a proposal to locate additional off-leash parks in convenient locations across the City. The exhibition of the Draft Policy attracted significant public interest with 1,748 surveys and 231 open submissions received. The details of the community feedback recommended changes to the Draft Policy and are presented in the report. RECOMMENDATION Council adopt the recommendations of Option 1 of this report which are: 1 The current Dogs on Beaches and Parks Policy be maintained, this includes the current off-leash parks and off-leash beaches and current green, orange and red zonings. 2 A new off-leash area be developed in the Dapto area the location of which to be public recreation (RE1) zoned land and be considered via assessment of open space areas that will come into Council ownership. 3 Council establish an internal working party to assess on a needs basis approach, any additional suitable parks that may be established as off-leash areas and the recommendations of this group be presented to Council for consideration. 4 Council provide additional signage and colour coding of fences across the city’s beaches to improve awareness of the zoning for users. 5 Administrational content changes, reflecting the 2014 review, as shown in the attached revised Draft Dogs On Beaches and Parks Policy, (November 2014 version) be adopted.

  • 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.

  • Corruption Tactics: Outrage Management in a Local Government Scandal Brian Martin University of Wollongong, [email protected]

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.

  • No. 30 Major Regional Cities in NSW: Promoting Business and Exchange with Japan
    Consul-General of Japan in Sydney’s Newsletter No. 30 Major Regional Cities in NSW: Promoting Business and Exchange with Japan 4 December 2020 As the COVID-19 situation has improved, we have been able to travel safely around Greater Sydney and NSW. For the first time last month, I visited Wollongong, Newcastle and Central Coast City, meeting with people engaged in business and exchange with Japan. In NSW, the cities with the largest populations are as follows: 1st is Sydney with around 4.32 million people, 2nd Newcastle with around 320,000, 3rd Central Coast with around 310,000, 4th Wollongong with around 260,000, and the cities coming in as 5th largest or smaller, all have populations of less than 100,000 people (2016 Australian Census). Looking at the number of Japanese residents, there are approximately 35,000 Japanese living in Greater Sydney, and in the other three cities, each has between 300 and 500 Japanese residents (2019 Survey of Japanese Nationals Living Overseas). I am pleased to have been able to visit each of these important regional cities within this year. Thanks to my visits to these cities, I realised that it is not only in the Greater Sydney area that there is a significant Japanese presence. In each of these regional cities, business and exchange with Japan has been developing over many years. In this issue of my newsletter, as I report on the outcome of my visits, I invite you to consider with me how creating stronger ties at the regional city level can contribute to promoting mutual benefit and prosperity for both Japan and Australia by deepening mutual understanding and bonds of trust.
