  • Norway - Fjords and Mountains a Once in a Lifetime Destination That Will Take You to Mountains, Glaciers, Deep Coastal Fjords and the Land of the Vikings and Trolls
    Norway - Fjords and Mountains A once in a lifetime destination that will take you to mountains, glaciers, deep coastal fjords and the land of the Vikings and trolls... Trip Length: 21 days / 20 nights July - August 2023 Minimum 8 guests / Maximum 12 guests *8-9 guests NOK 70559 ($ 11300) 10-11 guests NOK 63500 ($ 10200) 12 guests NOK 58500 ($ 9400) *(AUD prices quoted based on exchange rate 2020. 2023 prices to be confirmed) Included meals marked each day. B = Breakfast, L = Lunch, D = Dinner Norwegians can’t get enough of nature and we’ve discovered why! Norway’s scenic landscapes are best discovered by following a path on foot. Late summer is the best time to experience a sunlit landscape that has forced the snow to retreat to the mountains and has woken the flowers to their full bloom. Long days, mild temperatures and the fabled midnight sun promise ideal walking conditions, and we will be surrounded with those vibrant natural colours of the changing landscape. We’ll discover untamed, mythical landscapes as we trapse the classic (and sometimes challenging) hiking trails of Preikestolen, Galdhøpiggen, and Besseggen Ridge. You’ll never forget your first approach aboard the Hurtigruten Ferry, to the unsurpassed beauty of the Lofoten Islands. Tall, craggy spires dominate the skyline and beckon walkers to their valleys and summits. We stay in hotels and mountain refuges, so there’s no camping on this trip. Norway - it’s a love affair with nature! Day 1: Monday Arrive Stavanger Airport (Sola) Arrive in Stavanger and make your way to our hotel in downtown Stavanger.

  • Utgreiing Og Tilråding - Søknad Frå Innbyggarar I Forsand Kommune Om Justering Av Kommunegrensa Mellom Forsand Og Strand
    Dykkar ref.: 17/1212-67 Vår dato: 29.06.2018 Vår ref.: 2017/3580 Arkivnr.: 311 Postadresse: Postboks 59 Sentrum, Kommunal- og moderniseringsdepartementet 4001 Stavanger Postboks 8112 Dep. Besøksadresse: 0032 Oslo Lagårdsveien 44, Stavanger T: 51 56 87 00 F: 51 52 03 00 E: [email protected] www.fylkesmannen.no/rogaland Utgreiing og tilråding - søknad frå innbyggarar i Forsand kommune om justering av kommunegrensa mellom Forsand og Strand Fylkesmannen tilrår at grensejustering i samsvar med innbyggarinitiativet ikkje blir gjennomført. Fylkesmannen finn heller ikkje grunn til å tilrå grensejustering for ein mindre del av det aktuelle området. Fylkesmannen viser til departementet sitt brev av 10.10.2017 som bl.a. har slik ordlyd: "Forsand og Strand kommuner Fylkesmannen oversendte et innbyggerinitiativ om grensejustering mellom Forsand og Strand kommuner. Fylkesmannen skriver at endringen er omfattende, og at det er grunn til å tro at kommunene ikke er enig i forslaget. Fylkesmannen ber departementet avgjøre om saken skal utredes. Departementet ber med dette fylkesmannen om så raskt som mulig å utrede konsekvensene av en grensejustering mellom Forsand og Strand kommuner som omfatter områdene omtalt i innbyggerinitiativet. Fylkesmannen kan i tillegg utrede større eller mindre grensejusteringer i det omtalte området. Fylkesmannens tilrådning skal fremgå av oversendelsen til departementet. Det må legges til rette for at Forsand og Strand kommuner skal få uttale seg før saken oversendes departementet for endelig avgjørelse. Kommunestyrene bør innhente innbyggernes synspunkter på saken. Forsand skal slå seg sammen med Sandnes kommune fra 1. januar 2020. Departementet ser det som hensiktsmessig at en eventuell grensejustering gjennomføres på samme tidspunkt som sammenslåingen.

  • Utkast Til PRINSIPPSKISSE
    PRINSIPPDOKUMENT Muligheter ved en ny kommune Utredet av kommunene Forsand og Sandnes Endelig sluttført etter formannskapssamling og siste dialogmøtet den 06.06.2016 Grunnlag for politisk behandling i by-/kommunestyrene juni 2016 1. INNLEDNING Stortinget har vedtatt at alle kommuner innen 1. juli 2016 skal gå gjennom sin egen struktur og vurdere om den er egnet for å møte framtidige behov. Det fremholdes at kommunenes oppgaver blir flere og mer komplekse, og utviklingen tilsier at flere kommuner kan være tjent med en ny struktur for å gi gode nok tjenester til innbyggerne. Kunnskapsgrunnlag for dette arbeidet bygger blant annet på fellesutredningen om kommunestruktur med de åtte kommunene på Nord-Jæren og arbeidet med intensjonsavtale mellom Forsand, Strand og Hjelmeland kommuner. Dette Prinsippdokumentet er blitt til gjennom dialogmøtene som Forsand og Sandnes kommuner har hatt. Det viser mulighetene ved å opprette en ny kommune. Dokumentet legges til grunn for etablering av ny kommune. Stortinget har følgende fire mål for å gjennomføre kommunereformen: 1. Styrke lokaldemokratiet og gi større kommuner flere oppgaver 2. Gode og likeverdige tjenester til innbyggerne 3. Bærekraftige og økonomisk robuste kommuner 4. Helhetlig og samordnet samfunnsutvikling Fakta Folketallet i de to kommunene pr 01.01.2016 er 76.058 innbyggere, totalt 16 % av innbyggerne i Rogaland bor i disse to kommunene. Kommunene forvalter til sammen et areal på vel 1.084 km2 som utgjør 12 % av Rogaland fylke. Kommunen har store næringsområder som Ganddal godsterminal og Vagle næringspark. Kraftproduksjon, byggeråstoffer, betongindustri og landbruk er store næringer i verdiskapningen. Nasjonale turistmål som Preikestolen, Kjerag og Lysefjorden er lokalisert i kommunen.
