2017 National Local Government Twitter Day On Tuesday, 1 August, Councils, stakeholders and communities will light up Twitter to showcase the important and diverse work of Local Government across Australia using the hashtag #YourRatesAtWork.

The day will be led by a coalition of every Local Government peak body in Australia, as well as ALGA, the national peak body. Councils across the country are invited to participate, as well as encourage their local communities to join the national conversation on Twitter. The idea is to spotlight all the services your Council provides to its community, for 24 hours on Tuesday, 1 August. Make sure you hashtag all tweets with #YourRatesAtWork. Some ideas for showcasing the many hats your Council wears include:

• live stream an interview with your Mayor, a Councillor, or a Council Officer. tweet fun facts, tidbits and updates • invite a Mayor or Councillor to ‘takeover’ your Twitter account and live tweet their day • use pictures from community events, of local assets or staff in action to help paint a picture of the role you play in your community • create a poll asking your community members which Council service they value most • use GIFS or film a short video clip to keep your content engaging and fun, and • brief your Councillors using Twitter and arm them with key messages and ideas. • Councils can access a set of Twitter assets and images to use via Dropbox here.

Courtesy Speed Display Signs WALGA’s RoadWise has purchased a set of courtesy speed display signs (CSDS) for Local Governments to borrow to support local ‘safe speed’ and/or ‘safe road use’ activities.

These CSDS are designed to detect and show the speed of an approaching vehicle together with a pre-programmed message that is displayed to the driver of the vehicle (e.g. the current vehicle speed in km/hr with a message such as “too fast, slow down” or a symbol such as a smiley face).

The CSDS can assist Local Governments to: • encourage behaviour maintenance or behaviour change in relation to speeding along with support for speed enforcement activity by local police, and • support their own local area speed management treatments/works or speed limit changes by Main Roads WA to positively influence network travel speeds. . For more information or to book the CSDS, visit the RoadWise website.

Heavy Vehicle Cost Recovery Policy Guideline for Sealed Roads WALGA State Council has endorsed the Heavy Vehicle Cost Recovery Policy Guideline for Sealed Roads as a model policy for Local Government adoption.

The model policy guideline will provide Local Government with a consistent and simple approach to implement and manage heavy vehicle cost recovery.

The policy provides guidance in the following areas: • the statutory powers relevant to the recovery of expenses of damage caused by heavy vehicle traffic • defines the scenarios and limits of when charging is activated • a methodology for calculating the charge • conditions that may require negotiation with a proponent • administration and management of collected charges • recommended content for an agreement between the Local Government and a proponent • duties of the Local Government and the proponent, and • authority to enter into an agreement. The policy can be downloaded here.

Commonwealth, State and Territory Energy Ministers agreed on a timeline to implement 49 of the 50 recommendations. Ministers ‘noted the significance of the Clean Energy Target recommendation’ but no timeline has yet been agreed to for this final recommendation.

The COAG Energy Council did not support tasking the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) to develop design options for implementation of a Clean Energy Target.

Austroads Survey - Guidelines for Minimum Levels of Asset Componentisation Austroads is developing Guidelines for Minimum Levels of Asset Componentisation.

The purpose of this project is to develop guidance material that will facilitate improved integration of Asset Management and Financial Management disciplines.

The project will deliver prescriptive guidance that will become a benchmark for users (i.e. road management authorities and auditors) and drive a more consistent approach to the preparation of financial statements.

As managers of most of the road network it is important that Local Governments strongly influence this material so that the outcome is practical for the sector.

Local Governments financial and engineering professionals are encouraged to provide feedback here by Thursday, 27 July.

WALGA NEWS 28 July 2017

State Road Funding – Direct Grants Main Roads have advised that they have received a directive from the Minister for Transport to reduce the Direct Grants component of the State Road Funds to Local Government Agreement by $10.3 million in 2017/18. This equates to a 42% cut to Direct Road Grants to all Local Governments. This amount is based on the estimated reduction in State Government revenue from Local Governments resulting from the disallowance of regulations that would have made Local Governments liable for vehicle licence fees and stamp duty on vehicles purchases. The Association has written to the Minister for Transport concerning this matter and the issue received some media coverage during the week. Earlier WALGA was in discussion with Main Roads WA officers, seeking ways to avoid this cut or minimise its impact. Vehicle licence fees are a tax paid by vehicle owners to contribute to the cost of all roads, not just State controlled roads. This further reduction in funding for roads means that Local Governments will receive about $60 million less in road funding in 2017/18 compared to the agreed 27% of revenue from vehicle licence fees. WALGA is currently developing options to respond to this situation for consideration by member Local Governments. For more information, email Executive Manager, Infrastructure Ian Duncan. Review of the Local Government Act 1995 As previously advised, the Minister for Local Government has announced a review of the Local Government Act. The Association will consult the sector on all potential Act amendment issues this year. WALGA has produced a discussion paper that is structured around each section of the Act. The discussion paper draws on a number of resources upon which WALGA’s proposals for Act amendment are based. These resources represent long-standing positions on Act amendments that were developed by the sector and sector representatives. All positions are up for review as part of this process. In addition WALGA welcomes any other item to be brought forward. The discussion paper can be found here. WALGA will hold Zone and Regional Group forums on the Local Government Act Review in August and September. Local Governments can choose to contribute in conjunction with a Zone/Regional Group meeting, separately by lodging a Council endorsed submission, or both.

The final collated feedback will be prepared as a State Council Agenda Item for Zone consideration during the November/December 2017 round of Zone meetings. State Council will ultimately determine its position at its meeting on Wednesday, 6 December. I nformation Bulletin Page Cor-8 C orrespondence & Papers

Council endorsed submission on the issues raised in this Discussion Paper, as well as any other relevant matters, can be forwarded by Friday, 20 October to Manager, Governance James McGovern. For more information, email Manager, Governance James McGovern or Executive Manager, Governance and Organisational Services Tony Brown.

Have Your Say on the Development of an Urban Tree Canopy Framework for WA The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage and WALGA are collaboratively developing an Urban Tree Canopy Framework to assist Local Government in the strategic planning of their urban canopy. Many Local Governments are actively managing their urban tree canopy. The development of the framework is aimed at supporting these efforts and promoting best practice in urban tree canopy management. Local Government input on the development of the framework is vital. WALGA is conducting a survey of Local Government, which will inform the framework and suggest changes to strategic state planning documents that are currently under review. Complete the survey here before Friday, 11 August. I nformation Bulletin Page Cor-10 C orrespondence & Papers

You are also invited to attend a workshop on the framework being hosted by WALGA at the West Leederville office on Monday, 28 August from 1:00pm to 4:30pm. The workshop will explore best practice approaches to the development of urban forest plans and supporting policies. Afternoon tea is provided. Register by Thursday, 24 August. To register or for more information, email the WALGA Environment Team. Interim State Public Health Plan Released for Local Government Consultation The Department of Health has released the first interim State public health plan for consultation. The Chief Health Officer has produced the interim plan to support organisations, particularly Local Governments, who seek to be consistent with the policy priorities of the Department of Health. The State Public Health Plan will be formally published when Part 5 of the Public Health Act 2016 is enacted in approximately four years. The Department of Health will engage with Local Governments through an online consultation to inform the development of the First Interim State Health Plan. WALGA will prepare a sector response to the Plan, and will keep Local Governments informed as to how they can assist with this process. WALGA continues to strongly support the introduction of the Public Health Act 2016 and welcomes the release of the Interim Plan. WALGA works with the Department of Health to develop resources to support the Local Government sector through the Public Health Act Reference Group, and WALGA’s Public Health Advisory Group. The Plan and consultation survey are located here and consultation will close on Friday, 1 December. For more information, email the Department of Health. Evaluating Local Government’s Response to Erosion Resulting from Urban Development The Sediment Task Force, together with Edith Cowan University, is undertaking research to determine how Local Governments in the Perth region are managing and preventing erosion caused by urban development. The research aims to: compare the local laws enacted by Local Governments to manage and prevent erosion; determine how the laws are enforced by Local Governments; consider how effective the laws are at managing and controlling erosion; and make recommendations as to the most effective way to legislate for managing and preventing erosion at a local level. The project will commence in July, and is being undertaken by Edith Cowan University. The research is supported by the Sediment Task Force, of which WALGA is an active member. An online survey has been developed to collect information from Local Government officers on which local laws are utilised by Local Governments for erosion and sediment control, and how effective these local laws are as a tool for managing and controlling erosion and I nformation Bulletin Page Cor-11 C orrespondence & Papers sedimentation. The survey will be disseminated to Local Government officers via email in August 2017. This is a great opportunity to provide feedback and guidance on the effectiveness of local laws relating to sediment control. Individual Local Government case studies will be compiled during the study as examples of best practice, so participating in the survey is a great way to demonstrate the good work your Local Government is doing. For more information, email Edith Cowan University's Sharron Glasgow or call 0409 388 495. Engaging Local Governments in Violence Prevention Project: Request for Trial Site Nominations The Department of Social Services is seeking five Local Governments nationally between February and December 2018 to participate in trials of the Local Government domestic, family and sexual violence prevention toolkit. The trials will test the toolkit’s effectiveness in supporting local interventions to prevent domestic, family and sexual violence and help to identify necessary amendments and practical case studies for inclusion in the final product. Grants of up to $150,000 will be available for each selected site. The Department is seeking nominations of Local Governments with a previous track record in domestic, family and sexual violence prevention so that we can build on the momentum already established in these areas and generate the most useful case studies and outcomes. The InfoPage has further information. Expressions of Interest need to be submitted to WALGA by Monday, 7 August.

ALGA NEWS 21 July 2017

President's column One hundred and seven resolutions from the NGA were taken under consideration by the ALGA Board this week and covered a range of topics including Financial Assistance Grants, Roads to Recovery and other government grant programs, freight improvements, rate- capping, cost-shifting, community infrastructure funding, affordable housing, preventative health, migration and settlement, climate change and the environment. One of the resolutions considered, and endorsed, by the Board was from Whitehorse City Council in VIC calling on the federal government to allocate funds to assist local government to build and maintain ‘female-friendly’ sporting facilities and amenities. This resolution was consistent with ALGA’s existing policy that well-located, well-designed and properly-maintained community infrastructure enhances the quality of life and enriches the experience of residents every day. ALGA supports opportunities to remove barriers and assist all citizens to participate in council activities and use council facilities, and has championed this on multiple occasions to the federal government. ALGA will continue its call to the government to commit to a Local Government Community Infrastructure Program of $300 million per annum for four years that would ensure communities' most important infrastructure can continue to underpin community wellbeing and community resilience. The Board considered the most appropriate action to take on all the resolutions carried by the delegates who attended this year's Assembly and councils will be advised of the action to be taken on their resolutions as soon as possible. Mayor David O’Loughlin ALGA President $65 million to champion community cohesion Council are among the organisations eligible to apply for more than $65 million in funding to help build inclusive and resilient communities. The Minister for Social Services Christian Porter opened the Strong and Resilient Communities (SARC) grants round this week to help local organisations overcome disadvantage and build strong and safe communities and increase national security. “These grants will provide organisations working in disadvantaged areas with $45 million to help increase social cohesion in areas of high cultural diversity where there is risk of racial, religious or cultural intolerance developing,” Minister Porter said. “Through this grants round, community organisations can benefit from up to $500,000 in funding for each project they deliver over the life of the program to 2021.” I nformation Bulletin Page Cor-18 C orrespondence & Papers

Minister Porter said funded projects may include: • the development of online platforms for marginalised youth to challenge ideas and concepts online and create forums to counter negativity and feelings of isolation • training or volunteering opportunities for humanitarian entrants or newly arrived migrants • cultural or sporting activities that bring people of different cultures or faiths together. “This is an important grassroots approach to bring people in from the margins, establish social harmony and help strengthen resilience across communities,” Minister Porter said. A further $19.95 million will fund Volunteer Management Activity until 2021 to encourage and increase volunteering in communities across Australia. “Evidence shows that well integrated and cohesive communities are underpinned by high- levels of volunteering and community participation, a strong sense of community belonging, local leadership and engagement,” Minister Porter said. Applications for SARC’s Inclusive Communities Grants and Community Resilience Grants are open until 23 August 2017. For more information or to apply for a grant, go to the GrantConnect website at www.grants.gov.au. Save the date: Local Government Twitter Day on 1 August Councils are being encouraged to save the date for another Local Government Twitter Day which will this year be held on 1 August. The aim of the day is to showcase the diverse range of council services with the Twitter community and to increase awareness of the important work that local government does. The day will be led by a coalition of every local government peak body in Australia, as well as ALGA, the national peak body. In 2017, we again seek the participation of councils that already have a Twitter account by using a common hashtag to group Twitter feeds nationally on the day. The 2017 Local Government Twitter Day is: Tuesday, 1 August 2017 The hashtag to be used on the day is: #yourratesatwork We’re also inviting key peak bodies (like state libraries), influential champions and other levels of government to join the fun and help showcase the work of local government. For more information, and for a council brief of the event, please contact the communications/media department of your state/territory local government associations.

Government delivers 200th mobile phone tower Minister for Regional Communications Fiona Nash has welcomed the activation of the 200th mobile base station delivered under the Mobile Black Spot Program. “The Mobile Black Spot Program has already changed the lives of so many Australians living in rural and remote areas across the country. I congratulate Telstra, Optus and Vodafone for reaching this milestone so quickly,” Minister Nash said. “The pace of the Mobile Black Spots rollout is accelerating towards the total of 765 base stations with 41 sites activated across the country in June alone. “Mobile data and phone coverage is a crucial part of our daily lives for education, business growth and keeping in contact with family and friends. “The Mobile Black Spots Program will deliver coverage to 32,000 homes and businesses across 86,000 square kilometres.” The Government has committed $220 million to improving mobile coverage in regional and remote locations across Australia. State and local governments, mobile network operators (Telstra, Optus and Vodafone), businesses and community organisations have also contributed funding. Rounds 1 and 2 of the program are delivering more than $600 million in new investment in mobile infrastructure across regional and remote Australia. For more information visit: www.communications.gov.au/mobile_coverage New collection added to Disaster Resilience Knowledge Hub The Australian Disaster Resilience Knowledge Hub has added a new collection for Education and Professional Development resources. In the new collection, councils can find information about educational courses that are being offered through universities and vocational education providers as well as information and resources from conferences and professional development events. The collection currently features resources from AIDR’s May workshop Engagement Matters - a two-day workshop focused on community engagement for disaster preparedness, response and recovery. Resources include case studies, reports, and activities that can be used by those in the sector to facilitate improved community engagement. The resources have been shared by researchers and practitioners from a range of organisations including Tasmania Fire Service, QFES, RMIT University, SES Victoria, and NSW Rural Fire Service. AIDR is encouraging contributions to the Knowledge Hub from all organisations and individuals. From emergency management reports to images of historical disasters, all contributions are welcome at www.knowledge.aidr.org.au

Australian Urban Design Awards - entries closing soon. It’s time to get entries in for the 2017 Australian Urban Design Awards, which celebrate excellence and innovation in urban design. The Australian Urban Design Awards were established to recognise contemporary Australian urban design projects of the highest quality and to encourage cities, towns and communities to strive for best practice in all projects. Over the past twenty years, the program has communicated the critical role of good urban design in shaping the nation and the collaborative relationships that underpin the successful development of the built environment. There are four categories attracting entries for initiatives, built projects and publications that will make a significant difference to the places, spaces, buildings and infrastructure of our cities and towns. Entries are open to all urban design professionals and close at 5pm AEST on 28 July 2017. Councils can enter at the Australian Urban Design Awards website: urbandesignawards.com.au The winners and commended projects will be revealed at a celebration in Brisbane on 25 October 2017. The Awards are convened by the Planning Institute of Australia with the support of eight peak organisations servicing the sector. Final submissions called for freight and supply chain inquiry Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Darren Chester has made a final call for submissions for the National Freight and Supply Chain Inquiry discussion paper. The Minister said that stakeholder input was essential to ensuring the nation can best take advantage of the growing freight task. “This inquiry, which will feed into the National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy, will ensure Australia can meet the needs of consumers, businesses, and domestic and international markets and realise the opportunities to produce more local goods,” Mr Chester said. “Our freight task will grow by 50 per cent over the next two decades as our nation’s population increases, creating additional demands on our transport network. “Everyone is part of the national supply chain, whether you are a producer competing with domestic and global markets, a freight operator shifting those products to our ports, or a consumer who wants the best value possible. “With submissions closing on 28 July 2017, I would encourage all interested parties to have their say and help shape Australia’s freight future.” To make a submission visit https://infrastructure.gov.au/transport/freight/national- strategy.aspx

Energy Efficiency Compliance and the NCC Councils that would like assistance navigating the National Construction Code (NCC) energy efficiency compliance requirements for residential buildings have been invited to share what they need with the National Energy Efficient Buildings Project (NEEBP). As part of Phase 3 of the COAG-funded project, the project team is speaking to public and private planners, surveyors, building inspectors and energy assessors to identify the key tools they may need to achieve better “as built” energy compliance in new homes. This includes tools/requirements such as built energy efficiency skills or compliance training, consistent interpretation and guidelines, site-based access to data sets, better document management, supply chain or verification tools, or anything else. Councils have been invited to attend a workshop to share their best ideas, The next workshops will be: • Adelaide: Friday 28th July 9am to 1pm (Meeting at the Security Desk on arrival by 8.45am – City of Adelaide Customer Service Centre, 25 Pirie Street Adelaide) • Melbourne: Wednesday 20th September, location TBA Alternatively, councils can register to be part of a national on-line survey which will be available online for 6 weeks during August and September: http://neebp1.wixsite.com/energycompliance Outcomes from this needs analysis will be incorporated into NEEBP recommendations for future projects through the National Energy Productivity Plan (NEPP) in 2018 and beyond. Climate Council joins forces with 35 councils to tackle climate The Climate Council has released a new report highlighting the potential and powerful benefits of climate action at a local level, including the scale of action already underway. The Local Leadership: Tracking Local Government Progress on Climate Change report shows that populous cities, booming urban centres and rural townships could collectively slash energy emissions by a staggering 70% by joining forces to become energy and climate trailblazers in their own backyards. Report findings Include: • Australian cities are at risk from worsening climate impacts (hotter and more frequent heatwaves, rising sea levels, flooding and intensifying extreme weather). • More than 200 temperature and rainfall records were set during Australia’s Angry Summer in 2016/17, affecting major cities and regional centres. • More than 80% of Australians live in towns and cities on the coast. Climate change is driving sea-level rises, increasing the risk of coastal flooding. • Australian towns, cities and shires are major drivers of pollution and can become critical I nformation Bulletin Page Cor-22 C orrespondence & Papers

hubs for climate change solutions. • 70% of emission reductions required to meet the Paris Agreement can be done in cities. • Councils and communities are leading state and federal governments on tackling climate change and capitalising on renewable energy. The full report is available on the Climate Council website. Chief Climate Councillor Professor Tim Flannery said the milestone report coincides with the Climate Council’s launch of the Cities Power Partnership, a program representing more than 3 million Australians from hundreds of towns and cities, encouraging and supporting actionable climate solutions from the ground up. “This landmark national program, has already seen 35 councils take the pledge, representing 1 in 10 Aussies or more than 12 per cent of the population,” he said. “Local governments and communities around Australia are already taking action on climate change. The Cities Power Partnership is about accelerating, celebrating and promoting local council’s achieving emissions reductions and transitioning towards renewable energy technologies like wind and solar, all on home soil.” The Cities Power Partnership encourages towns and cities, via local governments, across Australia to make the switch to renewable energy and sustainable transport, while building greener, efficient and more resilient communities.

President's column

Council depots across the country end up bearing the brunt of failed, poorly designed or underfunded industry product stewardship or recycling programs - and that is why we should be involved right up front in the design and funding models for these programs.

Therefore, I am pleased to have secured a commitment from Federal Environment Minister Josh Frydenberg that ALGA will be involved in further consideration of these matters.

The commitment was secured at last Friday's regular meeting of Environment Ministers in Melbourne, highlighting the critical importance of continuing collaboration between all levels of government in managing Australia's major environmental challenges.

On your behalf I was particularly interested in the waste management issue on the agenda, and took the opportunity to highlight the importance of local government involvement in all aspects of the design and management of waste-management programs. Whether it be industry-developed product stewardship schemes around used tyres, computers and televisions or used batteries, or statewide bans on plastic bags, or the management of organic waste such as food waste or green waste.

While important, voluntary product stewardship schemes are at risk of not making a I nformation Bulletin Page Cor-23 C orrespondence & Papers

significant difference in reducing the burden on councils of managing waste across Australia, particularly in rural and regional areas where volumes are low and waste transport costs are higher. These schemes need to be adequately resourced and properly promoted so that the public knows how to participate and where they operate. This includes making sure that industry participants properly and effectively advertise that they are the receiving agency - not Council.

I made the point that people often need an incentive to participate in recycling schemes, and I highlighted the success of South Australia's Container Deposit Scheme as a potential model that could be applied to other waste streams. As this scheme has already been replicated in NT, and is soon to be rolled out in most states, I suggested this may provide an ideal opportunity for the new receiving depots to be considered in the future as ideal locations to manage receipt of a number of targeted recyclables such as batteries (rechargeable and otherwise), products containing mercury, and other smaller-scale products with specific handling needs.

Other matters considered, which ALGA supported, were the development of a common national approach to environmental-economic accounting, and the free and open sharing of environmental data between jurisdictions. Positive progress is also being made by industry on a voluntary phase-out of microbeads, and the National Market Development Strategy for Used Tyres which will drive the up-take of tyre-derived products in road, rail and civil engineering applications and remove stockpiles of used tyres nationwide.

The full Ministers' Agreed Statement can be found here.

We will continue to keep a close eye on this forum to ensure that local government becomes part of the solution, and not the last resort for all problems, in the increasingly complex environment of waste management. Local government puts up 27% of national spend on cultural activities

A new report has been released on cultural funding by government in 2015-16 which estimates that local government spends $1,578.3 million (27%) of the total national spend on cultural activities.

The report measured 24 categories across the heritage and arts sectors. The categories included museums, libraries, arts education, archives, music, festivals and film production.

The expenditure levels of the local government sector on cultural activities generally reflected the size of the population, with the highly populated states spending more. In 2015-16, the estimate of expenditure by local government authorities in New South Wales was $519.1 million, in Victoria $408.2 million and $285.2 million in Queensland. The combined expenditure of these states on cultural activities represented 77% of total local government- funded expenditure on cultural activities. I nformation Bulletin Page Cor-24 C orrespondence & Papers

The estimated total expenditure by the three tiers of government during this period was $5,841.2 million, with $2,289.8 million (39.2%) from the Australian Government and $1,973.1 million (33.8%) from state and territory governments.

The amount spent on cultural activities by all government averaged $243.97 per person in Australia.

Interested councils now have an additional two weeks to provide input on the national Health Star Rating (HSR) system, as public consultation has been extended to 17 August.

HSR Advisory Committee Chairman, Dr Kevin Buckett, said public consultation, which opened on June 8 2017, was part of a planned five-year review of the system.

“Since the consultation period has opened there has been strong interest from stakeholders representing a diverse range of views,” Dr Buckett said.

“While we have already had a good response with feedback to date, it’s important we get a rich supply of data to inform the review. This is why we have decided to extend the consultation period by a further two weeks to ensure we hear from as many key people and organisations as possible.”

The five-year review will consider if, and how well, the objectives of the HSR system have been met, and identify any improvement options. The findings are expected to be provided to the Australia and New Zealand Ministerial Forum on Food Regulation in mid-2019.

The HSR system is a voluntary front-of-pack labelling scheme intended to assist consumers in making healthier dietary choices by rating the overall nutritional profile of packaged food and assigning it a rating from half a star to five stars. The system provides a quick standard way to compare similar packaged foods at retail level.

Councils can lodge their public submissions via the Australian Department of Health’s online Consultation Hub. Focus on employment under new humanitarian settlement program

The Federal Government has announced the organisations that will deliver Australia’s redesigned settlement services supporting newly arrived refugees and humanitarian entrants.

The Humanitarian Settlement Program providers are: Australian Red Cross Society (ACT and Surrounds and WA), Settlement Services International Limited (Sydney and Regional NSW), MDA Ltd (in partnership with Access) (Qld), Melaleuca Refugee Centre (NT), and AMES Australia (SA, Tas, Vic). I nformation Bulletin Page Cor-25 C orrespondence & Papers

The new Humanitarian Settlement Program makes improvements to the way the Government delivers support services to humanitarian entrants and features more intense one-on-one support to build their skills and knowledge to become fully self-reliant and active members of the Australian community.

The new program will:

• move towards an outcomes-based delivery framework

• improve case management for individualised, needs-based support

• improve English language, education and employment outcomes for humanitarian entrants, including introducing new methods to track outcomes over time

• create clearer linkages to the Adult Migrant English Program and the Skills for Education and Employment Program, (administered by the Department of Education and Training) and jobactive, (administered by the Department of Employment)

• expand orientation and information on life in Australia to provide humanitarian entrants with foundation skills required for their new start

• encourage innovation and increased efficiency in service delivery amongst providers

• reduce red tape for service providers.

Assistant Minister for Social Services and Multicultural Affairs, Senator Zed Seselja, said the streamlined Humanitarian Settlement Program merges existing settlement services into one comprehensive program that will provide individualised case management support, based on need. It will also has a renewed focus on English language, education and employment.

“We look forward to working with our new providers to deliver improved English, education and employment outcomes for humanitarian entrants,” he said.

“We are committed to ensuring humanitarian entrants are able to overcome barriers, start a new life and integrate into Australian society as quickly as possible.”

The House of Representatives Select Committee on Regional Development and Decentralisation is calling for submissions to its inquiry examining best practice approaches to regional development, the decentralisation of Commonwealth entities, and supporting corporate decentralisation.

Committee Chair, Dr John McVeigh MP said the Committee’s inquiry is wide-ranging and will explore ways to increase the growth and prosperity of regional and rural Australia. I nformation Bulletin Page Cor-26 C orrespondence & Papers

“While decentralisation of Commonwealth entities has been identified as a potential means to achieve this, the Committee wants to examine, more broadly, how public and private investment can assist in building and sustaining our regional communities,” he said.

“So much of our economic success rests in the resources and work of our regional towns and cities. It is important that we examine ways to better support these communities and to strengthen their social and economic future.”

The Committee plans to hold public hearings across regional Australia to learn more about best practice approaches to regional development, and decentralisation opportunities.

Submissions can be uploaded via the Committee’s website, and will close on Friday 15 September 2017. The Terms of Reference can also be found on the Committee’s website, or by contacting the Committee Secretariat.

An issues paper is expected to be tabled in Parliament on 31 August 2017. The Committee is also due to produce an interim report by 31 December 2017 and a final report by 28 February 2018. Councils win funding for Indigenous languages and art

Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE) has released its Zero Carbon Communities Guide to empower communities and councils who want to see rapid local progress towards zero emissions. It provides a simple framework and key steps a community can take to achieve zero carbon status within ten years.

Globally, local governments and communities are leading the way on climate action, aligning themselves with the latest climate science and international agreements. Many are already working towards 100% renewable energy goals and zero emissions targets.

Beyond Zero Emissions CEO, Vanessa Petrie said that the benefits of zero carbon communities include significant growth in local jobs and investment, slashed electricity and gas bills for households, businesses and industry, and a cleaner, healthier environment for local residents.

“We are launching Zero Carbon Communities Guide to highlight community leaders who are working towards 100% renewables and zero carbon emissions and to encourage high- ambition communities to put our ‘Zero Carbon Australia’ research into action,” she said.

“Our vision is an ever-growing network of communities across Australia, working together to achieve zero carbon status.”

Byron Shire Council has one of the most ambitious emissions reduction goals in Australia. The Byron Shire Council and its community are working in partnership to reduce emissions to zero in all sectors across the region within a timeframe of ten years.

BZE is also currently supporting three Victorian communities – Baw Baw, Nillumbik and Benalla – to develop baseline emissions data, transition strategies and community engagement.

The Zero Carbon Communities Guide is available to download from the BZE website. I nformation Bulletin Page Cor-28 C orrespondence & Papers

Media Release 26 July 2017

More State Pain for Local Communities WEDNESDAY, 26 JULY Local communities are to wear the cost of a massive cut to road maintenance as the State Government refuses to accept the will of the WA Parliament on Council vehicle registrations. Local Government recently won a reprieve from the removal of their vehicle registration concession through a disallowance motion passed by the Legislative Assembly. However WA Local Government Association President Cr Lynne Craigie said Councils had now been told that the $10 million returned on the vehicle concessions would be taken from direct road funding. Cr Craigie said a $10m annual cut in direct road funding was a 42 per cent reduction to the program that was largely allocated to road maintenance. “Councils will be faced with the choice of passing on the additional financial pain to their communities or deferring road maintenance works indefinitely and ultimately putting community safety at risk,” Cr Craigie said. “Everyone accepts the financial challenges facing the State Government and the goodwill shown to the sector by the new Administration on a number of issues but the clear intent of MLC Rick Mazza’s Disallowance Motion was that State’s budget recovery should not be a cost shift to Councils. “Local Government was being treated unfairly and the Upper House was prepared to do its job and prevent such an injustice from occurring but sadly, it seems, the State Government hasn’t accepted this decision.” Cr Craigie said removing of the vehicle licencing concessions, introduced in the dying days of the Barnett Government and embraced by the current Administration, was always a desperate money grab. She said it was unfair that local communities would be asked to carry further burden given that Councils were already underfunded by $48 million annually in relation to previous road funding agreements. “Local Government accounts for almost 90 per cent of the roads but receives only 21 per cent of the revenue from vehicle registrations when previously it was 27 per cent,” she said. “The sector is already supporting the State Government’s financial recovery with reduced road funding and this latest cut takes that contribution to nearly $60 million each year. “Cutting back on infrastructure investment will do further harm to the WA economy and will do nothing of substance to either fix the State budget or create jobs.

Media Release 2 August 2017

Community Voice in Partnership Agreement WEDNESDAY, 2 AUGUST An intergovernmental agreement to help ensure local communities are heard on key decisions has been signed by the Premier and representatives of State and Local Government. The State and Local Government Partnership Agreement was signed during the WA Local Government Association’s Annual General Meeting today and sets out how the two sectors consult and communicate with each other on significant issues. WALGA President, Cr Lynne Craigie welcomed the agreement, saying it would bring about a new era of collaboration between State and Local Government. “Such an agreement provides for a legitimate and respectful relationship between the two sectors, setting out communications and consultation protocols and processes,” Cr Craigie said. “Local Governments have been advocating for a new agreement ever since the last agreement lapsed some 10 years ago, and it is great to see this Labor election commitment being realised.” The agreement includes a communication and consultation protocol allowing minimum time frames for consultation and processes for achieving common goals. For significant changes such as new legislation, the agreed consultation period is 12 weeks; for less significant changes such as those to regulations, eight weeks; and for adjustments to guidelines or policies the consultation period between State and Local Government will be four weeks. Cr Craigie said the agreement would allow Local Governments greater scope for input into State Government policy, and the opportunity to discuss potential risks or impacts of decisions before their implementation. “It is about working together in the interests of the community, not always agreeing, but having the respect to work through issues and the pragmatism not to throw out the relationship at the first conflict,” she said. “We look forward to working together with the State under this new framework to achieve common goals in servicing and supporting local communities.” Signatories to the agreement are Premier, Hon. Mark McGowan; Local Government Minister, Hon. David Templeman; WALGA President, Cr Lynne Craigie and Local Government Professionals Australia WA President, Jonathan Throssell. Ends

A banner depicting a grinning shark taking a selfie has taken out top prize in the 2017 Banners in the Terrace Competition. 59 communities entered banners in the competition run by the WA Local Government Association as part of its annual Convention at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. WALGA Chief Executive Officer Ricky Burges said the banners showed the variety of communities, lifestyles, flora and fauna that exist across the State. “The submissions showcased visually attractive artistic designs, striking use of colours and iconic illustrations that depict diverse and unique parts of our State,” she said. The winning banner shows a cartoon shark in clear seawater displaying its set of pearly whites and taking a photo of itself with a camera on a selfie-stick. It has a tagline “greetings from Shark Bay, where the locals are friendly.” “The design and creativity in this lovely banner makes it a stand-out. It is beautifully done and very easy to read when hung up along St Georges Terrace,” Ms Burges said. “The judges could not go past the shark with the big smile taking a selfie. It is outstanding and definitely hard to look at without laughing and wanting to go to Shark Bay. “I’m sure it will bring a smile to many faces.” The annual Banners in the Terrace Competition has categories open to primary and secondary schools, community groups and professional artists. The competition winners were announced at the 2017 WA Local Government Convention and Exhibition, which attracts more than 600 Local Government representatives and over 100 suppliers to the sector.

Celebrating Community Spirit and Service FRIDAY, 4 AUGUST Three individuals contributing over 100 years of service to the Local Government sector and Councils supporting the ANZAC spirit this week joined Elected Members and Officers being recognised by their peers for outstanding contributions to the sector. Louis Geier from the Shire of Westonia and Cr Christine Thompson from the Shire of Murray were each presented with Eminent Service awards in recognition of their contribution to the community over 30 years of service as a Councillor. They were among 48 Local Government Elected Members and Officers who received a Local Government Honours Award as part of the 2017 WA Local Government Convention. In addition, Shire of Goomalling Chief Executive Officer Clem Kerp was presented with an award in recognition of service for his 50 year career in Local Government. WALGA President Cr Lynne Craigie congratulated Award recipients for their contributions to the sector and their individual local communities. “Between them, these extraordinary individuals have spent thousands and thousands of hours improving the services, facilities and opportunities in communities right across the State,” Cr Craigie said. “Each of these individuals has had a profound influence on their organisation or in representing the needs and aspirations of their local community, and are considered respected professionals and community leaders. “Whether it be through leadership in a crisis, ongoing stewardship of operational activity or dedicated representation of their ratepayers, all of our Honours Awards recipients have made their mark in their own special way and I congratulate each of them and thank them for their work.” A joint WALGA/RSLWA award was also presented at the Convention, recognising Local Government’s involvement in promoting awareness of Australia’s wartime heritage and facilitating community involvement in ANZAC commemorative events. The City of Wanneroo and Shire of Three Springs were each presented with an award for their strong commitment to collaboration and community involvement in ANZAC Day events. Cr Craigie said WALGA was delighted to join with the RSLWA in establishing the award, stating Local Governments and local RSL sub branches have strong ties in collaborating on activities and events. “The entrants to this award were varied but all highlighted the significant role local celebrations play in commemorating ANZAC Day and in keeping the ANZAC spirit alive across communities in WA," she said.
