Scope This document replaces and supersedes the original Access and Equity Cultural and Linguistic Diversity Policy and Action Plan [POLICY060] adopted by Council in 2003. 1.2 This Access and Equity Policy is concerned with the removal of barriers in the design and delivery of information, programs, services and facilities and Purpose of Document endeavouring to ensure that all community members have opportunities to enhance their overall social, cultural and economic wellbeing. 1.3 As the heart of greater Sydney and the central driving force of our nation’s most signifi cant economic region, Parramatta is a generator of growth and Why should Council be potential. Working with our partners, Parramatta City Council in its role concerned with Access as custodian of the local community is acting now to build a signifi cant and sustainable future for our City. Council is committed to working with and Equity Issues government, business and the community to build better environments and experiences for all the people who live, work, invest, visit and learn in our City. Council is committed to growing the City’s prosperity, at the same time ensuring opportunities for individuals and community groups to prosper as well, recognising that communities where all individuals function well are likely to be more successful. Council further recognises that there are some groups of individuals within our Community who have greater diffi culty in fully participating in community life, and in maximising opportunities to succeed, unless they have certain supports to do so. As Parramatta City Council positions itself to take its place as the major Service Centre for business, employment, tourism and lifestyle options in Western Sydney, it is critical that we can support the whole community, including those that may be considered more disadvantaged or at risk, to maximise opportunities to improve their circumstances, not only for themselves, but for the benefi t of their families and the greater community. Parramatta City Council: Access and Equity Policy 2013 5 1.4 Council acknowledges that the people of Parramatta LGA are a very diverse group. Specifi c groups within the Parramatta LGA that Council acknowledges Who does this policy and seeks to support and accommodate in terms of appropriate delivery of specifi cally support? programs, services and information as well as opportunities include: > Indigenous people (0.8%) > People of diverse genders and/or sexuality (2%) > Children under 12 years (15.6 %) > Young people 12 – 24 years (16.6%) > People over 55 years (21.2%) > People with disabilities (18% – 22%) > People from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse backgrounds (50.2%) See Attachments (page 27) for further information. Source for all data: Parramatta Community Profi le id, 2006 Census Further to this, Council also recognises that there are a number of groups within our Community who may be classed as disadvantaged and at high risk, due to diff erent circumstances that have led to fi nancial diffi culties, isolation from others and a reliance on formal support services and programs. These include but are not limited to, some in the community who fall within one or more of: > Unemployed people > Disengaged youth > People with mental health issues > Older people living alone > Carers > People who are homeless > Single parent families, and > People in Government Housing. Source: Profi le id, City of Parramatta Fact Sheet – Disadvantage in Parramatta These groups in particular are recognised as requiring additional supports in order to assist them to interact and engage in community life, and ultimately to have the capacity to change their circumstances to result in a better future. Parramatta City Council: Access and Equity Policy 2013 6 1.5 Access – implies fair and equitable access to programs and services in areas essential to achieving and maintaining social, cultural and economic well- Defi nitions being. Equity – implies distribution of economic, social and political resources in ways that are not restricted by age, gender, race, ethnicity, disability or income. Multiculturalism – the NSW Government’s policy on multiculturalism is set out in the NSW Community Relations Commission and Principles of Multiculturalism Act 2000. The Principles of Multiculturalism are: > All individuals in New South Wales should have the greatest possible opportunity to contribute to, and participate in, all aspects of public life in which they may legally participate. > All individuals and institutions should respect and make provision for the culture, language and religion of others within an Australian legal and institutional framework where English is the common language. > All individuals should have the greatest possible opportunity to make use of and participate in relevant activities and programs provided or administered by the Government of New South Wales. > All institutions of New South Wales should recognise the linguistic and cultural assets in the population of New South Wales as a valuable resource and promote this resource to maximise the development of the State. Social Disadvantage – Social Disadvantage includes the following: > Poverty – poverty means that a person has an inadequate standard of living and faces an increased risk of poor health, and experience low self- esteem and social isolation. > Deprivation – deprivation exists when a person lacks the resources to access the goods and activities that are essential to a basic quality of life. > Social Exclusion – Social exclusion exists when a person cannot participate in key societal activities1.

  • Infrastructure Funding Performance Monitor
    UDIA NSW | 2020 Infrastructure Funding Performance Monitor $2.7 billion is currently held as a restricted asset by Councils for the delivery of infrastructure • The current total balance of contributions held across the Greater Sydney megaregion is $2.7 billion, with the average amount held by a Council sitting at $56 million. • Every year new housing contributes almost $900 million to local infrastructure, Executive roads, stormwater, open space and community facilities across the Greater Sydney megaregion through the infrastructure charging framework. It is expected Summary that this infrastructure is built with the funds that are paid. • However, only 64% of the contributions that are paid for were spent in the last three years. Average Total Expenditure Total Income Balance E/I ($’000) ($’000) ($’000) Total 0.64 $650,679 $876,767 $2,653,316 Contributions Under a s7.11 0.85 $564,670 $711,912 $2,330,289 or s7.12 Under a s7.4 0.62 $41,640 $124,180 $259,501 The amount of unspent funding has increased over the past three years • Since FY16 total unspent contributions have increased 33% from $1.98 billion to over $2.65 billion. Executive • In the last year alone unspent contributions increased by 7.8%, or almost $191 million. Summary • Local Government must resolve local issues to ensure that infrastructure is actually provided on the ground. If necessary, the State Government should step-in to support Councils get infrastructure on the ground. Increased funding does not correlate to increased infrastructure delivery • The scatter graphs here show an extremely weak relationship between cash held and expenditure ratios.
