This historical reform aims to make the public sector more efficient, responsive and cost effective in the delivery of services to the community. To assist the reform, DPC has worked hard during the last 12 months to support the amalgamation of former departments into the 13 clusters and manage associated workforce issues. As part of the amalgamation, the structure of DPC Brendan O’Reilly has changed. The Department of Local Government Director General joined us as the Division of Local Government, and the Ministry for Police came on board as the Law Enforcement and Security Coordination Division. During the year we engaged with other states and territories, and the Commonwealth through the Council of Australian Governments (COAG). DPC’s input enabled NSW to have considerable influence in key policy areas such as the COAG National Health and Hospitals Network Agreement and helped increase Commonwealth funding to the state. As a part of the negotiations, NSW achieved substantial new hospital funding over the next four years to deliver more emergency, elective surgery and subacute services. DPC continued its leadership role in supporting the COAG national reform agenda in NSW. We worked with other NSW departments to reduce red tape and to eliminate unnecessary regulation across jurisdictions and reduce compliance costs on business. We also led NSW emergency management departments during the successful 2 Department of Premier and Cabinet | 2009–10 Annual Report implementation of Emergency Alert, the National I would like to acknowledge the commitment and Emergency Warning System and coordinated hard work of DPC staff as they have again proven NSW’s participation in the development of the their professionalism, enthusiasm and expertise as Homelessness National Partnership as well as the they helped produce the high quality results that National Partnership Agreement on a National define us as a department.

In fulfilling this role, DPC led action on a number of challenging, long- term policy issues including child protection, the prevention of domestic violence, the prevention Brendan O’Reilly of homelessness, the reduction of crime, reducing carbon emissions, more efficient transport and promoting an open and transparent government. The 2009–10 Annual Report provides a comprehensive overview of the tasks and challenges DPC has faced over the past year as it continues to foster reform across NSW Government. It provides an accurate account of our performance highlights and achievements.

We have facilitated the amalgamation of all agencies into 13 clusters which represents the most significant reform of the public service in a generation. This reform was introduced to make the public sector more efficient and improve service delivery to the people of NSW. Concurrent with the reform is the consolidation of corporate and shared services. DPC led and coordinated the whole of government Blueprint for shared and corporate services which is designed to cut costs and introduce consistency in the provision of shared and corporate services across the public sector. Planning for the future In 2009–10, DPC led a full review of the NSW State Plan during which more than 3,500 people were consulted face-to-face and via online forums. The 2010 NSW State Plan, released in March, sets out the Government’s long term plan to deliver the best services to the people of NSW. The State Plan includes 10 additional priorities and many new actions in response to issues raised by the community including supporting jobs, preventing homelessness and sustaining quality of life. Emergency alert for communities DPC led and coordinated NSW emergency management departments during the implementation of the National Emergency Warning System in NSW. The system, known as Emergency Alert, is a COAG initiative to enable the sending of emergency voice and text messages to people’s fixed line and mobile telephones. We coordinated all aspects of the system’s introduction in NSW including the development of protocols, training, technical advice and a major communication and advertising campaign. The project commenced in July 2009 and the system was completely operational by 1 December 2009. Since its implementation, Emergency Alert has been used by the NSW Rural Fire Service to provide warnings and evacuation advice to communities in the Riverina region. Emergency Alert was also used in Coonamble and Mendooran to send evacuation warnings during the New Year floods. 4 Department of Premier and Cabinet | 2009–10 Annual Report Building stronger communities During the year, DPC efficiently administered the economic stimulus package — the $35 million Community Building Partnership Program that was launched by the NSW Government. This Program supports local employment through the provision of capital works or equipment; contributes to the cost of building important community projects and stimulating local economies; and improves

  • Goldenfields Water County
    INDUSTRY CASE STUDIES GOLDENFIELDS WATER COUNTY THE PROJECT PROJECT SUMMARY After more than 70 years in operation, The Goldenfields Water County Council called for the existing pipelines connecting Reefton to Barmedman and Yiddah to Wyalong to be replaced. The two sections of pipeline were originally PROJECT R2B and Y2W Pipeline Replacement Project installed during the 1930’s to transfer water from the Murrumbidgee River to Temora and further on to Wyalong. CLIENT Goldenfields Water County Council Since that time the pipelines consisted of unlined mild steel and cement lined cast iron and had been subject to corrosion leading to a large number of leaks LOCATION Wyalong, New South Wales and breakages, reducing the efficiency and sustainability of the pipeline. THE SOLUTION DATE Deliveries completed August 2009 Viadux was contracted to supply 20 kilometres of TYTON Ductile Iron pipe and SUREFLOW fittings to replace the failing pipeline. 10km of TYTON DN375 DICL pipe SUPPLIED and 10km of TYTON DN300 DICL Pipe Viadux supplied ten kilometres of TYTON Ductile Iron pipe for the Reefton to Barmedman section and ten kilometres of TYTON Ductile Iron pipe for the Yiddah to Wyalong section. Included in this supply were SUREFLOW Ductile Iron fittings for the two sections including bends, tees, valves, couplings. THE RESULT The pipeline replacement program will secure water to towns including West Wyalong, Ungarie and Girral by delivering approximately 7ML of water per day. The new pipeline has been designed to allow for greater flows of water at significantly higher pressures than the previous pipeline to accommodate future growth in the region.

    MICHAEL McCORMACK MP Putting the Riverina first July 2012 Riverina health boost Wagga Wagga Base begins Griffith’s $11.3m funding $6m for Hillston Multipurpose New Temora Medical Complex THESE are exciting times for the provision of better health services in the Riverina with several projects either now under way or funded. The start of the new regional hospital at Wagga Wagga, made possible by a $55.1 million Federal boost, is one of the best things to happen in the Riverina in recent years. Concerted lobbying and an excellent submission, supported by key community and medical stakeholders, have resulted in $11.388 million Federal support for Griffith’s new hospital. “This announcement is good for health, it’s good for education, it’s a real boost for our area which has been hit hard in recent years,” said one of the chief proponents of the Griffith Community Private Hospital, John Casella.
