Business - provider partnerships numbers and growth In the past business - provider partnerships for trainiug in the water sector have been adhocand there has been little national coordination. Moreover, at the start of this project there were or~lytwo examples of a business - provider partnership for e-learning in the water industry in Australia. These were: a relationship between Wide Bay Water and Sunwater for water worker training and a preliminary arrangement between Wide Bay TAFE and Wide Bay Water to provide on-line training services to other Councils. The collaborative model of industry sector long-term funding has already (in the first three months) resulted in an increase in the number of relationships through two mechanisms. These are: new partnerships as a direct result of the project, and negotiation of partnerships with other RTOs through leverage provided by the project. Two new partnerships have arisen as a result of the industry funding. -

Local Heritage Register
Explanatory Notes for Development Assessment Local Heritage Register Amendments to the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, Schedule 8 and 8A of the Integrated Planning Act 1997, the Integrated Planning Regulation 1998, and the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 became effective on 31 March 2008. All aspects of development on a Local Heritage Place in a Local Heritage Register under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, are code assessable (unless City Plan 2000 requires impact assessment). Those code assessable applications are assessed against the Code in Schedule 2 of the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 and the Heritage Place Code in City Plan 2000. City Plan 2000 makes some aspects of development impact assessable on the site of a Heritage Place and a Heritage Precinct. Heritage Places and Heritage Precincts are identified in the Heritage Register of the Heritage Register Planning Scheme Policy in City Plan 2000. Those impact assessable applications are assessed under the relevant provisions of the City Plan 2000. All aspects of development on land adjoining a Heritage Place or Heritage Precinct are assessable solely under City Plan 2000. ********** For building work on a Local Heritage Place assessable against the Building Act 1975, the Local Government is a concurrence agency. ********** Amendments to the Local Heritage Register are located at the back of the Register.

Federal Budget 2020-2021
Federal Budget 2020-2021 The Federal Budget was handed down by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg on 6 October 2020, after it was postponed from May due to the coronavirus pandemic. Overview The deficit is projected to reach $213.7 billion in the 2020-21 financial year, or around 11 per cent of GDP. Deficits are forecast for the next decade. Net debt will increase to $703 billion, around 36 per cent of GDP, and is expected to peak at $966 billion, or 44 per cent of GDP, in 2024. Gross debt will peak at over $1.1 trillion in 2023-24. Treasury expects unemployment will reach 8 per cent before the end of the year, and the Budget forecasts the economy will grow by 4.25 per cent next calendar year. The economy contracted 7 per cent in the June quarter. Macroeconomic figures in the Budget are based on the assumption that a “population wide” vaccine will be “fully in place” by late 2021. Infrastructure • The Budget includes an extra $14 billion in new infrastructure funding, bringing the 10- year infrastructure pipeline to $110 billion. The funding will be provided on a ‘use it or lose it’ basis, where the state must start work quickly or the Federal Government will give it to another state • $2 billion in road safety upgrades, such as road widening, centre lines and barriers, which will be identified and delivered in three six-month tranches • $1 billion to support local councils to immediately upgrade local roads, footpaths and street lighting, as an extension of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program • $36.9 million over 4 years from -
