Hello members and friends. I am pleased and privileged to have been elected president of AGSHV Inc. for 2016. This is an exciting challenge to be chosen for this role. Hopefully I have followed on from where Brian has left off as he has left big shoes to fill. Brian and Leonie decided to relinquish their long held posts as President and Treasurer (respectively) after many years of unquestionable service to our society, which might I say, was carried out with great efficiency and grace. They have set a high standard. Thank you Brian and Leonie. We also welcomed a new Vice President, Richard Bale and new Treasurer John Hyslop. Although change has come to the executive committee the drive for excellence has not been diminished. Brian is still very involved with organising and running activities as if nothing has changed. The “What Rock Is That” teaching day Brian and Ron conducted (which ended up running over 2 days) at Brian’s home was an outstanding success. Everyone had samples of rocks, with Brian and Ron explaining the processes involved in how these rocks would have formed, and how to identify each sample, along with copious written notes and diagrams.

Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program | Vol 1 Data Report 2019-20 Page | i Executive summary Background Sydney Water operates 23 wastewater treatment systems and each system has an Environment Protection Licence (EPL) regulated by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). Each EPL specifies the minimum performance standards and monitoring that is required. The Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program (STSIMP) commenced in 2008 to satisfy condition M5.1a of our EPLs. The results are reported to the NSW EPA every year. The STSIMP aims to monitor the environment within Sydney Water’s area of operations to determine general trends in water quality over time, monitor Sydney Water’s performance and to determine where Sydney Water’s contribution to water quality may pose a risk to environmental ecosystems and human health. The format and content of 2019-20 Data Report predominantly follows four earlier reports (2015-16 to 2018-19). Sydney Water’s overall approach to monitoring (design and method) is consistent with the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC 2000 and ANZG 2018) guidelines.

  • People Are Missing out on the Legal Help They Need
    Community Law Australia—Fund Equal Justice Community Legal Centres Campaign People Are Missing Out On The Information for Members and Senators Legal 2016Help They Need Community Legal Centres Briefing There is a crisis in legal assistanceFebruary 2016 • There is significant and rising demand for legal assistance in Australia. • Hundreds of thousands of people are missing out on the legal help they need. In 2014-2015, over 160,000 of Australia’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable people had to be turned away by community legal centres, largely due to a lack of resources. • Unresolved legal problems generate a range of flow-on effects, including significant costs to the government and broader community. Access to legal help can prevent or reduce the escalation of legal problems and reduce costs to the justice system and other areas such as health and housing. What are community legal centres and how do they help? • Community legal centres (CLCs) are not-for-profit community-based legal services that provide free and accessible legal and related services. • CLCs help our most vulnerable people: CLCs help people who can’t afford a lawyer and aren’t eligible for government legal aid, including some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of the community. For example, almost 50% of CLC clients are in receipt of a Government benefit, 25.4% identify as having a disability, and 13.3% are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people. • CLCs specialise in everyday legal problems: CLCs help people with a wide range of legal problems, including family violence, relationship breakdowns and family law, debt, consumer problems, problems with Centrelink, tenancy disputes, and employment issues.
