    2013 SYDNEY MONORAIL & LIGHT RAIL Advertising Media Kit Sydney Monorail and Metro Light Rail are unique transportation networks connecting Sydney’s key leisure, retail and dining precincts with surrounding transportation hubs and inner city residential areas. Advertising in these unique environments not only offers advertisers high-reach and frequency opportunities to broadcast their message to workers, tourists, shoppers and residents – they also offer a unique level of consumer engagement. Vehicle Liveries deliver an unavoidable message to passengers, pedestrian and vehicle traffic. While with Station Advertising, consumers have plenty of time to read, consider and take in your message with an average waiting time of three minutes on Sydney Monorail and ten minutes on Metro Light Rail stations. © Metro Transport Sydney Pty Ltd 2012 ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITIES Why outdoor (or out of home) advertising?

    100 Volunteer STORIES www.volunteeringact.org.au © Volunteering ACT Inc 2013. December 2013 Celebrating the contribution of Canberra’s Volunteers Proudly sponsored by Beyond Bank Australia FOREWORD BY MAUREEN CANE Chief Executive Officer of Volunteering ACT Australia’s capital has a proud record for volunteering since it was founded. Services to the swiftly growing population were often first provided by volunteers. Volunteering is now in Canberra’s DNA, with many of her citizens, young and old and from all walks of life, actively volunteering at any one time. This book tells some of their stories — of care for others, of courage, of generosity and of application of skills and expertise. The stories are a testimony to the excellent work of Canberra’s community-based organisations and to the selfless contribution of individuals towards the general good. One such story, of the generous application of expertise, is from Sarah Wilson, the volunteer who compiled this book for Volunteering ACT! All the stories are a fitting legacy for Canberra’s Centenary year and engender a sure and certain confidence that our Maureen Cane, Volunteering ACT CEO future is in good hands. AUSTRALIA’S CAPITAL has a proud record for volunteering since it was founded. Services to the swiftly growing population were often firstprovided by volunteers. FOREWORD BY MARY PORTER Member of the ACT Legislative Assembly and Founder of Volunteering ACT As we all know the ACT has one of the highest rates of volunteering in Australia. When I arrived in the ACT in 1977 I was introduced to the communities training program that was sponsored by the Mental Health arm of the, then, Health Commission and supported by ACTOSS & Lifeline ACT.

    SPRING 2016 NORTHSYDNEYNEWS Three-year-old Emilia (pictured above) and two-year old Tayah (right) were among the first to test out our newly WATT’s MAKING KIDS SMILE refurbished playground at Watt Park in Lavender Bay. Getting to grips with the climbing frame, slides and roundabout, the girls enjoyed a fun day out at the playground with their grandmothers just days after it reopened in July. They also tried out the new swings, boat and spring rockers at the playground, which has plenty of space for family picnics. There’s also lots of shaded areas created by the numerous trees in the park. The playground won a design award from Kidsafe Australia in 1997 when it was first constructed. For this upgrade, Council opted to retain the original design and character, but replace the ageing equipment with new state-of-the-art play apparatus. More information about the playground and others in the North Sydney area is available on Council’s website: northsydney.nsw.gov.au/ Recreation_Facilities/Playgrounds 2 | NORTHSYDNEYNEWS FROM THE MAYOR If you live in Lavender Bay you probably There will be good things about the weren’t surprised to learn that the growth – big cities have an energy that suburb topped the list as Sydney’s most is very appealing.
