  • The Works Approval Process
    3 The works approval process Introduction 3.1 This chapter outlines the steps that Immigration Bridge Australia (IBA) would be required to follow in seeking consideration under the National Capital Authority (NCA) administered works approval process. Further discussion on whether the assessment of the bridge proposal may be required under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (the EPBC Act) is included. Indicative timelines for these assessments are also discussed. Particular focus is given to the consultation that would be required to accompany the proposal under each process. Lastly, the maintenance of gifting assets is discussed. Background 3.2 Designated Areas categorised under the National Capital Plan (NCP) embody the special characteristics of the national capital and so are preserved and enhanced in accordance with their character. 3.3 Further, under the requirements of the Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988 (Cwlth) (the PALM Act), any works in a Designated Area are subject to approval by the NCA. 3.4 As the suggested location for the proposed bridge lies within a Designated Area, it is subject to the NCA administered works approval process. 3.5 In addition, as the proposed bridge may have a significant impact on Commonwealth land, it may also be subject to an additional assessment 34 INQUIRY INTO THE IMMIGRATION BRIDGE PROPOSAL by the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA) under the EPBC Act. 3.6 Assessment of the IBA proposal through

  • Submission 94
    Chapter Twelve Conclusions and the future With the formal role of the Taskforce concluding at the end of September 2003 it is critical that recovery activities are progressively integrated into the normal business of the ACT Government and community. A I3ushfire Recovery Executive, including senior representatives from across the ACT Government and the Chair of the Community and Expert Reference Group, will continue to maintain momentum and responsiveness on recovery issues. As part of this work, the Executive will continue to review lessons learnt during 2003, and to ensure opportunities for improvement are recognised and addressed. Recovering from an event such as the January 2003 fires in the ACT is a complex process which involves many phases. While for some the memory of the fires is now distant, for many others (including Government), there is still much to be done. Experience from other disasters suggests that the recovery process will go on for many years, and there will be a need for ongoing rebuilding and restoration, as well as services and support for those directly affected. PLANNING FOR THE NEXT PHASES OF THE RECOVERY Review of the Taskforce When the special arrangements were announced in January 2003, the Government put the Taskforce and Reference Group in place for an initial period of six months. This was in recognition that there was much to do, and understanding that after six months, there would be much better information about the next set of challenges, issues and activities. In June 2003, the Taskforce undertook a review to identify what the key issues were for the future, and to provide advice to Government regarding the next phases.

  • The Way Forward Inquiry Into the Role of the National Capital Authority
    The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia The Way Forward Inquiry into the role of the National Capital Authority Joint Standing Committee on the National Capital and External Territories July 2008 Canberra © Commonwealth of Australia 2008 ISBN 978-0-642-79073-6 (printed version) ISBN 978-0-642-79074-3 (html version) Chair’s Foreword Canberra is one of only a small number of the world’s capital cities which have been planned since their inception. It is a city of both national and international significance. All Australians should be proud not only of the achievements of our democracy but also of our national capital which embodies many of the democratic ideals which define us as a nation. Since Canberra’s inception in 1913 the key design elements of Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony-Griffin have been given effect. Their plan integrated the existing natural landscape of the area and provided for a symbolic hierarchy of land uses designed to reflect the order and functions of democratic government. This was set in a geometric plan with the central triangle formed by grand avenues terminating at Capital Hill, the symbolic centre of the nation. The challenge for all Australians is to ensure that Canberra as our national capital continues to be planned with the high ideals first articulated by the Griffins. The Commonwealth was solely responsible for planning the capital up until self- government in 1989. Since that time the Australian Capital Territory has been subject to a dual planning system. The National Capital Plan (NCP) administered by the National Capital Authority (NCA) secures the Commonwealth’s continuing interest in ensuring that Canberra is planned and developed in accordance with its national significance.

  • Emergency Nomination of Lake Burley Griffin and Lakeshore Landscape to the National Heritage List
    Emergency Nomination of Lake Burley Griffin and Lakeshore Landscape to the National Heritage List Prepared by Lake Burley Griffin Guardians 10 January 2018 Contents 1 Background 2 Significant Adverse Threat that are Likely and Imminent 3 Statement of Significance 4 Table of Heritage Values and with likely and imminent adverse threats 5 Images 6 Description of Lake Burley Griffin and Lakeshore Landscape 7 History of Lake Burley Griffin and Lakeshore Landscape 8 Boundary of Lake Burley Griffin and Lakeshore Landscape, including map 9 Associated heritage records 10 Bibliography Appendix: A: Assessment of National Heritage Significance for Lake Burley Griffin and Lakeshore Landscape 1 Emergency Nomination of Lake Burley Griffin and Lakeshore Landscape to the National Heritage List 1 Background Lake Burley Griffin and Lakeshore Landscape is within the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and forms the physical and symbolic core of central Canberra, Australia’s national capital and seat of government. The place is a designed cultural landscape; an integrated lake waters and landscape system with designed vistas within the central area of the National Capital of Australia. The lake's water is impounded by Scrivener Dam and its water source is primarily the Molonglo River and Jerrabomberra Creek. The lake waters interface with the suburbs of Fyshwick, Kingston, Barton, Parkes, Acton and Yarralumla. There is no formal, nor all-encompassing, heritage protection for Lake Burley Griffin and Lakeshore Landscape because of the complex heritage legislation, dual planning systems and fragmented management regime for central Canberra, demonstrated by the multiple different heritage listings noted under Associated heritage records, Section 9. The lack of all-encompassing heritage protection has led to the proposed encroachment of major apartment proposal onto lakeshore landscape involving the infilling of 2ha of lake waters.
