It's about the seven sister dreaming, that is a story that governs our land and our universal connection to the dreaming. It is also about the connection to the ocean where our dreaming stories that come from the ocean life that feeds us, teaches us about survival, amongst the sea life. It is stories of mammals, whales and dolphins that hold sacred language codes to the universe. It is about our existence from the first sunrise to present day. We are caretakers of our mother, the land. It is in balance with the universe to maintain peace and harmony.

  • Changes to Driver Licence Sanctions in Your CLSD Region
    Changes to Driver Licence Sanctions in Your CLSD Region In 2020, Revenue NSW introduced a hardship program focused on First Nations people and young people. As a result, the use of driver licence sanctions for overdue fine debt changed on Monday 28th September 2020 in some locations. How are overdue fines and driver licence sanctions related? If a person has overdue fines, their driver licence may be suspended. The driver licence suspension may be removed if the person: • pays a lump sum to Revenue NSW, or • enters a payment plan with Revenue NSW, or • is approved for a WDO. A driver licence suspension can be applied for multiple reasons, so even after being told that a driver licence suspension for unpaid fines has been removed, people should always double check that it is OK to drive by contacting Service NSW. Driver licence restrictions can also be put on interstate licences and cannot be removed easily. If you have a client in this situation, they should get legal advice. What has changed? Now, driver licence sanctions will not be imposed as a first response to unpaid fines for enforcement orders that were issued on or after 28 September 2020 to First Nations people and young people who live in the target locations. What are the target locations? Locations that the Australian Bureau of Statistics classifies as: • very remote, • remote • outer regional, and • Inner regional post codes where at least 9% of the population are First Nations People. Included target locations on the South Coast are the towns of Batemans Bay, Bega, Bodalla, Eden, Eurobodalla, Mogo, Narooma, Nowra Hill, Nowra Naval PO, Merimbula, Pambula, Tilba and Wallaga Lake.

This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region.

For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available.

  • Independent Review Panel
    INDEPENDENT REVIEW PANEL SOUTH COAST SENSITIVE URBAN LANDS REVIEW _________________________________________________________________________ REPORT TO THE HONOURABLE FRANK SARTOR MP MINISTER FOR PLANNING OCTOBER 2006 SOUTH COAST INDEPENDENT REVIEW PANEL The Hon Frank Sartor MP Minister for Planning Level 34, Governor Macquarie Tower 1 Farrer Place SYDNEY NSW 2000 Dear Minister, RE: SOUTH COAST INDEPENDENT REVIEW PANEL Following the release of the Draft South Coast Regional Strategy, you appointed me to chair a Panel to investigate the suitability for development of some sixteen sites in the region. We received some 188 submissions and held public hearings over six days in the towns of Nowra, Batemans Bay and Bega as well as in Sydney. Fifty one people appeared at the public hearings. Having given due regard to all the submissions, we present our report, with recommendations, on each of the sites. It is important to read the recommendations along with the body of the report, especially the planning assessment and the environmental assessment sections of each site’s evaluation. We have also suggested some planning issues for further discussion that arose during our investigations and deliberations. My colleagues on the Panel, Mr Vince Berkhout and Dr David Robertson have brought considerable experience and expertise to the task, and we are unanimous in our recommendations. Of the total area already zoned for potential development (about 2200ha) we recommended less than 30% to be developed. Of all the land investigated (about 5900ha) we recommended that almost 30% be for environmental conservation. We were very ably assisted in all the preparations for our meetings and public hearings and preparation of the report by Mr Paul Freeman.
