B-boys and b-girls held centre stage at the fun and family-friendly event which included amazing music, good vibes, dance, art and food. Between 12 and 4pm more than 700 participants enjoyed breaking and popping exhibition battles, freestyle dance circles, rock, soul and hip-hop music. The Redfern City Rockers performed a 10th anniversary tribute show (the inaugural Redfern Block Party was held in 2005). The free community event was organised by Jurnan Thorn Ayerst (Last Minute Productions) and Scott Doo Rok (Break Club) and hosted by the Redfern Community Centre. Ms Ayerst praised Sydney Def Jam and DJs Total Eclipse (The X-Ecutioners), Nofuss Rus, Mathmatics, Blaze and MK1. “Scott Doo Rok and Sam Dynamite hosted the event, and our graffiti art auction raised much-needed funds for the Redfern All Blacks,” Ms Ayerst said. “We had market stalls with indie jewellery and clothing, candles and face-painting. Thanks to everyone, especially the volunteers who rocked up early and left late.” Memorial awards were presented to Arthur (TJ Hickey Award: Best Young Talent), Jonno (Ningaanaa Award: Best B-Boy/B-Girl), and Locking Nai (Rangi Harris Award: Best Popper/ Freestyle Dancer).

  • NSW Planning Minister Has Opportunity to Set The
    NSW Planning Minister has opportunity to set the Framework for the State’s Future Wednesday, 01 April 2015 The new Planning Minister in NSW, Rob Stokes, has a great opportunity to restructure the planning system to ensure the state’s future, says the Urban Taskforce. “The Urban Taskforce congratulates Rob Stokes on becoming the NSW Planning Minister and we look forward to a fruitful relationship,” says the Urban Taskforce CEO, Chris Johnson. “We have worked effectively with Rob in his previous portfolio and we appreciate his detailed understanding of the planning portfolio and the importance of balancing community issues with industry productivity.” “There are a number of reform areas in planning that did not reach a satisfactory solution during the last term of the government and Minister Stokes will need to get hold of this unfinished business quickly to bed down the governance structure and the legislative framework. The previous White Paper on Planning Reform raised the need to rethink zoning, strategic planning, to extend complying development and generally simplify our complex planning system. A crucial issue will be how communities are constructively involved in the planning process without frustrating potential investment in much needed new housing.” “The new minister will also need to work with the Minister for Local Government on the potential reforms of local government so that an effective system evolves. This will include the urgent establishment of the Greater Sydney Commission and how this body is able to ensure the delivery

  • Sydney Government House
    TOP EDUCATION STUDENT FIELD TRIP INSTITUTE SEMESTER 1/2019 SYDNEY GOVERNMENT HOUSE SYDNEY GOVERNMENT HOUSE Government House is the Official Residence and Office of His Excellency General The Honourable David Hurley AC DSC (Ret’d) 38th Governor of New South Wales and Mrs Linda Hurley. His Excellency is the 27th Governor to occupy this Government House and has held the position since 2 October 2014. In 1788, soon after a British settlement was established at Sydney Cove, the first Governor of the colony of New South Wales, Governor Arthur Phillip, laid the foundations of Sydney’s first Government House. This building was located in Bridge Street (on the site of the Museum of Sydney). After nearly 50 years of serving as the colony’s political, ceremonial and social centre, the building had become worn and dilapidated and many submissions were made to the British government for permission and funding to construct a new building. In 1836 construction finally began on a new Government House. The new building was influenced in its location and architectural style by the existing Governor’s Stables, completed in 1821 (now the Conservatorium of Music located at the main entry gates to Government House). Locally quarried sandstone was used for the construction. The building was designed by Edward Blore, architect to William IV and Queen Victoria. Blore had recently built the British Houses of Parliament in an Elizabethan Gothic style, expressing the continuity of government by constitutional monarchy. Blore had also worked on Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle. The new Government House was built in the Gothic Revival style characterized by castellated towers and other medieval features.

  • Here Is a Strong Desire for an ‘App” to Allow the Public to Easily See Which Beaches Are Crowded And/Or Closed to Further Visitors
    on these spaces increase over the coming months, councils seek two specific actions from the NSW Government to ensure the safety of our communities. Firstly, we request that the NSW Government develop and fund a Beaches and Open Spaces Communications Strategy and Campaign, in consultation with councils, NSW public service agencies and Surf Life Saving NSW. A state led campaign is needed to raise public awareness of the need to be COVID-safe at beaches and popular public spaces, aware of public health order requirements that apply and conscious that they should not attend locations that are already at or nearing capacity. Materials from the Communications Strategy would be used by local governments, Surf Life Saving NSW, NSW Police and other NSW public service agencies to promote public awareness of how Public Health Orders apply to our beaches, and what we can all do, together, to keep these public spaces open for longer as the weather warms and COVID continues. As part of this, there is a strong desire for an ‘App” to allow the public to easily see which beaches are crowded and/or closed to further visitors. The meeting agreed that the suitability of the SLSNSW App as a tool for communicating beach crowding and capacity to the public on a large scale basis should be considered. Government investment in providing an App or helping to modify the SLSNSW app would be appreciated, and it may be an area where Service NSW could assist. Consistent communication about the state’s beaches and improved understanding and compliance by the public would reduce the need for NSW Police to intervene and enforce Public Health Orders on our beaches, and support councils and Surf Life Saving NSW to best manage these spaces in high demand times, allowing them to remain open.

The Speaker read the prayer and acknowledgement of country. [Notices of motions given.] Bills GAS LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (MEDICAL GAS SYSTEMS) BILL 2020 First Reading Bill introduced on motion by Mr Kevin Anderson, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Speech Mr KEVIN ANDERSON (Tamworth—Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation) (12:16:12): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. I am proud to introduce the Gas Legislation Amendment (Medical Gas Systems) Bill 2020. The bill delivers on the New South Wales Government's promise to introduce a robust and effective licensing regulatory system for persons who carry out medical gas work. As I said on 18 June on behalf of the Government in opposing the Hon. Mark Buttigieg's private member's bill, nobody wants to see a tragedy repeated like the one we saw at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital. As I undertook then, the Government has taken the steps necessary to provide a strong, robust licensing framework for those persons installing and working on medical gases in New South Wales. To the families of John Ghanem and Amelia Khan, on behalf of the Government I repeat my commitment that we are taking action to ensure no other families will have to endure as they have. The bill forms a key part of the Government's response to licensed work for medical gases that are supplied in medical facilities in New South Wales.
