Ku-Ring-Gai Council Action
Planning for bushfire risk in a changing climate: Ku-ring-gai Council action Council Name Ku-ring-gai Council Web Address www.kmc.nsw.gov.au Size 82 sq. km Population 101,083 (2006) Awards Local Government and Shires Associations (LGSA) Excellence in the Environment for Energy Saving and Climate Change Adaptation / Mitigation category 2010 1. Background 1.1 Council profile The Ku-ring-gai Council Local Government Area (LGA) is located on Sydney's upper north shore, about 16km from the Sydney CBD. The LGA is predominantly residential, but contains significant areas of bushland, parkland, and waterways with often steep terrain. The LGA includes 1,100ha of council-managed bushland and 1,646ha of National Park Estate (Ku-ring-gai Chase, Lane Cove and Garigal National Parks) of which the dominant vegetation type is eucalypt forest. Development is concentrated along ridge-tops and medium density housing has arisen in areas near key transport infrastructure, such as the Pacific Highway and railway stations. Recent growth has occurred in areas in existing urban areas of Gordon, North Turramurra and Turramurra. Significant built infrastructure includes the north shore railway line, the University of Technology Sydney (Ku- ring-gai Campus), the CSIRO Telecommunications and Industrial Physics facilities, the National Measurement Laboratory and a number of community service facilities such as aged-care centres and hospitals. The LGA supports one critically-endangered and four endangered ecological communities which are ‘likely to suffer a loss of species if subject to repeated high frequency fires’ (Ku-ring-gai Council, 2006 in Ku-ring-gai Council, 2011a). -
The Great Property Crime Drop: a Regional Analysis
NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research Bureau Brief Issue paper no. 88 July 2013 The Great Property Crime Drop: A regional analysis Don Weatherburn and Jessie Holmes Aim: To describe and discuss regional variation between parts of NSW in the rate at which theft and robbery offences have fallen. Method: Percentage changes in rates of offending in robbery and various categories of theft were calculated for the period 2000 to 2012. Changes in the extent to which rates of crime across areas have become more similar were quantified by comparing the standard deviation in crime rates across areas in 2000 to the standard deviation in crime rates in 2012. Product moment calculations were used to measure (a) the extent to which areas with high crime rates in 2000 also had high crime rates in 2012 and (b) the extent to which areas with the highest crime rates in 2000 had the largest falls in crime in 2012. Results: The fall in property crime and robbery across NSW between 2000 and 2012 has been very uneven; being much larger in Sydney and other urban areas than in rural areas. The fall in theft offence rates ranges from 62 per cent in the Sydney Statistical Division (SD) to 5.9 per cent in the Northern SD. Similarly, the fall in robbery rates ranges from 70.8 per cent in the Sydney SD to 21.9 per cent in the Northern SD. In some areas some offences actually increased. The Murray, Northern, Murrumbidgee, North Western, Hunter and Central West SDs, for example, all experienced an increase in steal from a retail store. -
RUGBY AUSTRALIA 'SIZE for AGE' GUIDELINES Physical
RUGBY AUSTRALIA ‘SIZE FOR AGE’ GUIDELINES Physical Development Guidelines for Australian Age Grade Rugby PURPOSE The purpose of these guidelines is to provide a framework for the application of the Age Grade Dispensation Procedure in line with the Rugby Australia Participation Policy and the Rugby Australia Safety Policy. BACKGROUND The World Rugby Weight Consideration Guidelines state that that the current method of separating youth players into gradings based on age is generally the most effective means of performing what can be a complex task. This involves determining salient, complex factors relating to youth participation in Rugby (for example, physical, maturational, fitness, cognitive and psychosocial factors) when finding a solution to grading the small number of age grade players who do not fit within the ‘general rule of age’ and whose development status carries a risk to either the player or other child participants. In 2017 Rugby Australia introduced new policies and procedures for participation in Rugby aimed at creating inclusion to the fullest extent possible so long as it is safe. This included the development of the Rugby Australia Age Grade Dispensation Procedure. The starting point for activating the procedure is the physical development of the player, relative to their eligible age grades. Research commissioned by Rugby Australia has determined that no single metric is an indicator of the relative physical development of a player’s on field performance. However, by assessing a number of key factors, powerful insight can be gained into the development of age grade players. The research has determined that the physical size of a player relative to population norms is an appropriate starting point for an individual assessment process that will include: • The relative maturity of the player; • The speed, strength, power and endurance of the player; and • An assessment by an Independent Qualified Assessing Coach ideally undertaken in training and match conditions. -
Rugby, Media and the Americans!
RUGBY, MEDIA AND THE AMERICANS! THE IMPACT ON AUSTRALIAN RUGBY INTRODUCTION For most of its history, rugby was a strictly amateur football code, and the sport's administrators frequently imposed bans and restrictions on players who they viewed as professional. It was not until 1995 that rugby union was declared an "open" game, and thus professionalism was sanctioned by the code's governing body,’ World Rugby’.1 To some, this represented an undesirable and problematic challenge to the status quo in which the traditions of the game would be eroded and benefits would accrue only to a small coterie of talented players. To many others the change was inevitable and overdue. In various countries different combinations of veiled professionalism or officially condoned shamateurism that lurked behind the amateur facade throughout the twentieth century. For instance, it was well known amongst New Zealand rugby players, or at least this author, that their fellow Auckland provincial rugby representatives were remunerated handsomely behind closed doors through the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. This effectively allowed them to train as semi professionals that, it could be argued, aided the run of success Auckland enjoyed through the same period as the National Provincial Champions (NPC). The statistics reflect that in 61 challenges in the period from 1985 to 1993, Auckland were undefeated. The team itself was full of All Blacks that won six titles in the 1990s. Playing for Auckland could be considered as close as it got to being a full time professional in this era.2 An alternative for frustrated rugby players was either to swap 1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugby_football 2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auckland_rugby_union_team codes and join the rugby league profession either in Australia or Europe or play rugby in another country, again being paid ‘under the table’. -
The Sydney Cricket Ground: Sport and the Australian Identity
The Sydney Cricket Ground: Sport and the Australian Identity Nathan Saad Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Technology Sydney This paper explores the interrelationship between sport and culture in Australia and seeks to determine the extent to which sport contributes to the overall Australian identity. It uses the Syndey Cricket Ground (SCG) as a case study to demonstrate the ways in which traditional and postmodern discourses influence one’s conception of Australian identity and the role of sport in fostering identity. Stoddart (1988) for instance emphasises the utility of sports such as cricket as a vehicle through which traditional British values were inculcated into Australian society. The popularity of cricket in Australia constitutes perhaps what Markovits and Hellerman (2001) coin a “hegemonic sports culture,” and thus represents an influential component of Australian culture. However, the postmodern discourse undermines the extent to which Australian identity is based on British heritage. Gelber (2010) purports that contemporary Australian society is far less influenced by British traditions as it was prior to WWII. The influence of immigration in Australia, and the global ascendency of Asia in recent years have led to a shift in national identity, which is reflected in sport. Edwards (2009) and McNeill (2008) provide evidence that traditional constructions of Australian sport minimise the cultural significance of indigenous athletes and customs in shaping national identity. Ultimately this paper argues that the role of sport in defining Australia’s identity is relative to the discourse employed in constructing it. Introduction The influence of sport in contemporary Australian life and culture seems to eclipse mere popularity. -
