  • National Capital Authority
    NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY Submission to House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage Sustainable Cities 2025 1. INTRODUCTION The National Capital Authority has prepared this submission in response to the inquiry by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage into issues and policies related to the development of sustainable cities to the year 2025. The Authority has been guided in its response by the Terms of Reference for the Inquiry provided by the Standing Committee: Terms of Reference • The environmental and social impacts of sprawling urban development; • The major determinants of urban settlement patterns and desirable patterns of development for the growth of Australian cities; • A ‘blueprint’ for ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement, with particular reference to eco-efficiency and equity in the provision of services and infrastructure; • Measures to reduce the environmental, social and economic costs of continuing urban expansion; and • Mechanisms for the Commonwealth to bring about urban development reform and promote ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement. The Authority’s submission provides the relevant background information on the Authority's role in planning and development in the ACT, and how the Authority both addresses and influences sustainability in its role to achieve ‘a National Capital which symbolises Australia’s heritage, values and aspirations, is internationally recognised, and which Australian’s are proud’. It sets out the provisions of the National Capital Plan applicable to sustainability and identifies initiatives undertaken by the Authority to create a more sustainable environment. 2. NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY The National Capital Planning Authority was established in 1989 as part of the introduction of self-government in the ACT, with a view to securing the Federal Government’s continuing interest in the planning and development of Canberra as Australia’s National Capital.

  • Magna Carta Its History and Enduring Relevance
    Magna Carta Its History and Enduring Relevance The Seventh Sir Harry Gibbs Memorial Oration Nicholas Cowdery It is customary when delivering a memorial oration to mention the person in whose memory it is given and I shall do so only briefly, because Sir Harry was the founder of The Samuel Griffith Society in 1992 and is well known to you all. Some of you, like me, are old enough to have appeared before him on the Bench or to have been associated with him in other ways. The Right Honourable Sir Harry Talbot Gibbs, GCMG, AC, KBE, QC was Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia between 1981 and 1987. He had a most distinguished career in the law as a Justice of the High Court from 1970, on the Federal Court of Bankruptcy and the Supreme Court of the ACT, on the Supreme Court of Queensland and as a Barrister practising in Queensland after the Second World War. In retirement from the Bench he remained active, contributing to Australian society in many significant ways. I note, however, that the two most significant events in his long life occurred in Sydney, NSW – his birth in 1917 and his death in 2005. So I am pleased to claim Sir Harry also for my State. Sir Harry addressed this Society on three occasions, as I understand. The addresses are collected in a book he published with Sir Paul Hasluck in 1993: “Native to Australia – Three Addresses to the Samuel Griffith Society”. I have not read the book, so I do not know what he said – but I think I am safe in saying that he did not speak about the Magna Carta.
