ACT SENIORS CARD DISCOUNT DIRECTORY 2017-2019 p 6175 5057 centralbygoodwin.org.au 20 GALORE ST, CRACE Foreword There is no doubt that Seniors are a significant asset to our community. I believe that we need to ensure that we are harnessing the rich diversity and often unacknowledged wealth of experience that seniors bring and contribute to our communities. The ACT Seniors Card is one way the ACT Government helps encourage our seniors to remain connected and be vital members of the community. As a registered ACT Seniors Card holder, I congratulate you on being eligible for the concessions and discounts listed in this Discount Directory. You now have access to a diverse range of discounts and concessions for a wide range of goods and services. I am thankful to all the businesses and organisations who participate in this program, whether it by providing discounts, services or promotions. Each time they do so, it is one more way of thanking our older Canberrans for all they have already contributed. I thank COTA ACT for their continuing efforts and administrative support in developing and producing this essential consumer-related service which provides financial benefits to ACT seniors.

It contains a brief further statement by me plus an ACT Legislative Assembly Hansard detailing 2 petitions to the ACT Legislative Assembly which may be pertinent to the Committee's discussion with any ACT Government representatives. Dr Michael Crawford Community Attitudes to Wind Farms Dr Michael Crawford 14th May 2015 SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON WIND TURBINES SUBMISSION – COMMUNITY ATTITUDES Community Attitudes to Wind Farms It is common for wind farm proponents to cite surveys that claim support for wind farms gathered in vague terms and then purport to use such surveys to support the establishment of wind farms in specific locations. In fact many people have far more careful views about wind farms that include the conditions under which they believe they should be established and operated. Many individuals who support wind farms in principle nonetheless accept they should not be established in ways likely to harm neighbours. An example is provided by a petition submitted to the ACT Legislative Assembly on 16th September 2014 by Ms Nicole Lawder. The text of the petition (Petition No 16-14) as reported in the Hansard of the Legislative Assembly for the ACT (copy attached), p 2688, is as follow: To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory.

  • Purchase by Woolworths of Hawker
    Friends of HAWKER Village Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Woolworths Limited – proposed acquisition of the Supa IGA supermarket in Hawker, ACT Executive Summary • The major national supermarket firms (Woolworths and Coles) face effective competition in the local area from each other and Aldi along the dimension of price. SupaIGA, however, is the only supermarket currently providing effective competition to those majors along the dimension of grocery choice and locational accessibility and convenience. • The proposed sale will substantially lessen the competition currently provided in the latter dimensions, which are known to be very important to the local population. • We submit that the proposed acquisition should not go ahead. WHO ARE WE? The Friends of Hawker Village is a community association established by local residents on 26 June 2010. Its aims are to enhance the residential, suburban, social and environmental qualities of the Hawker catchment area, through participation, in a non-political environment, by community discussion on and input to planning and land management in the ACT as it impacts on local residents, including through advocacy to the ACT and Commonwealth Governments, and advocacy to and representation before tribunals and courts. A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE HAWKER SHOPS Residential sites in Hawker started being released in 1971. Belconnen consisted then of Aranda, Cook, Macquarie, Page, Scullin, Higgins, Weetangera and Hawker. The main shopping centre for these suburbs was the Jamison Plaza. A map provided about 1971 (on next page) showed the following design for the proposed Hawker shopping centre. The current shops are located on section 33, just south of Belconnen Way.

  • Rotary International
    ROTARY INTERNATIONAL THE FIRST FORTY YEARS. A HISTORY OF THE ROTARY CLUB OF BELCONNEN A.C.T. INCORPORATED. Authors: Past President John Sheldrick Past President Peter Oldham 2 Historical Note from the Authors This history of the Rotary Club of Belconnen Inc. was researched and developed in two parts and hence the ‗Forward‘ comprising input from two Presidents and the Charter President. The first part was commissioned by the then President Warren Karle in his Rotary year, 2007-2008, and comprised most of Part One – The Formative Years. The second was commissioned by President Rod Menzies in his Rotary year, 2010-2011 as a means of recognising in some small way the 40th Anniversary of the Club. We hope that this publication will give another strong indication that the impact the Rotary Club of Belconnen has had, not only on the local community, but nationally and indeed internationally. The camaraderie, fellowship and contribution of all members over the years are quite amazing. We trust you find it a good read. John Sheldrick Peter Oldham Past President Past President 3 Foreword John Sheldrick and Peter Oldham have devoted many hours in compiling this history of the Rotary Club of Belconnen. It has required much research into early records, and has resulted in a very readable and comprehensive account of the formation of one of the most successful clubs in the district. We were chartered as ‗Rotary Club of Canberra – Belconnen‘ in 1971. This was a very exciting time in the development of Belconnen. Charter members were mostly new to Canberra, in new jobs, living in new houses in new suburbs.
