The Palm Beach & Whale Beach Association (PBWBA) fully supports the proposal of the Department of Main Roads to install a 40 km zone on Barrenjoey Rd. opposite Pittwater Park, Palm Beach. The works are to be carried out by the Northern Beaches Council. The proposal was discussed at the recent meeting with Rob Stokes and Dick Persson at Pittwater Park. There have been two further meetings between the council, the residents and the owners of the commercial properties, but these meetings have not produced a satisfactory outcome to all of the parties. The council's most recent plan, moves the bus zone on the eastern side of Barrenjoey Rd from its present position to outside Barrenjoey House and the Fish Shop. The footpath in this area is narrow and used as an outside eating area for both restaurants. The council is paid a fee for use of this area. There is no space for a seat or bus shelter to be installed in this area. Customers eating on the footpath at Barrenjoey House and the Fish Shop and guests staying in the upstairs bed rooms in Barrenjoey House will be subjected to unacceptable lavels of diesel and noise pollution. Tony and Brendon presented a further plan to keep the bus stop in its present position and extend it at both ends. They propose that the pedestrian crossing be moved to the north of the bus stop. A motion to support the plan of the residents and owners of the commercial properties as presented at the meeting was moved by Janette Davie and seconded by Doug Maher. PBWBA will contact the local member and the Council, in support of the residents amended plan. The residents should also contact the council and local member, and they should register to speak at the council meeting on Thursday night. (NOTE; Further to the Minute Item above, a meeting was held on the Thursday and an acceptable resolution has been reached. There was no requirement for residents and committee to speak at the Thursday meeting) MINUTES OF THE MAY 9 COMMITTEE MEETING: Confirmation that they were an accurate record of the meeting was moved by Storm Jacklin and seconded by Doug Maher Business arising from the Minutes: Website development: Richard West and Susie Kennedy will meet with Will Fernandes on website development.

  • Communication Licence Rent

    Communication Licence Rent

    Communication licences Fact sheet Communication licence rent In November 2018, the NSW Premier had the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) undertake a review of Rental arrangements for communication towers on Crown land. In November 2019, IPART released its final report to the NSW Government. To provide certainty to tenure holders while the government considers the report, implementation of any changes to the current fee structure will apply from the next renewal or review on or after 1 July 2021. In the interim, all communication tenures on Crown land will be managed under the 2013 IPART fee schedule, or respective existing licence conditions, adjusted by the consumer price index where applicable. In July 2014, the NSW Government adopted all 23 recommendations of the IPART 2013 report, including a rental fee schedule. Visit www.ipart.nsw.gov.au to see the IPART 2013 report. Density classification and rent calculation The annual rent for communication facilities located on a standard site depends on the type of occupation and the location of the facilities. In line with the IPART 2013 report recommendations, NSW is divided into four density classifications, and these determine the annual rent for each site. Table 1 defines these classifications. Annexure A further details the affected local government areas and urban centres and localities (UCLs) of the classifications. Figure 1 shows the location of the classifications. A primary user of a site who owns and maintains the communication infrastructure will incur the rent figures in Table 2. A co-user of a site will be charged rent of 50% that of a primary user.

  • Learning from the Past Research Project – Central Coast, NSW

    Learning from the Past Research Project – Central Coast, NSW

    Governance 21 Learning from the Past Research Project – Central Coast, NSW Rolf Fenner Australian Local Government Association Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT In 2003, the then Sustainable Ecosystems Division of the CSIRO was engaged by the Central Coast Region of NSW to undertake a detailed regional futures analysis based on a dynamic systems approach (Senge, 1992). A key component of such a research approach was the need to better understand and appreciate the historical context of previous regional planning policy initiatives. As a regional planning practitioner of several years experience, I was engaged by the CSIRO to undertake this “learning from the past” investigation. This paper summaries the value of such a research project by both examining the methodology adopted and findings arising from such an investigation. In short, the paper argues that as a consequence of reflecting on past policy experiences it is possible to better understand and appreciate what policy decisions were previously undertaken, and subsequently improve the opportunities for future policy decision making and implementation. A total of eighteen individuals were interviewed for the project. The regional participants chosen to be interviewed were a mixture of previous community leaders, politicians or senior professional bureaucrats. To encourage frank discussion and minimise any possibility of conflict of interests, all research participants at the time of interview were no longer in their substantive positions they once held. The process of identifying key individuals and relying on oral histories is not without methodological deficiencies. Whilst acknowledging these potential weaknesses, the project nevertheless was able to make a valuable contribution to regional planning on the Central Coast by identifying previous experiences and policy relationships as they related to matters of social, economic, environmental and local/ regional governance.
