Introduction We would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the various lands on which we live, and pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. The South East Sydney Multicultural Water Safety Committee has compiled this directory of aquatic services and water safety resources to provide information for service providers and community groups to assist with improving water safety on our beaches and waterways. Based on the successful model implemented by the Illawarra Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Water Safety Committee, we aim to create a collaborative environment to encourage effective communication between multicultural services and aquatic service providers. In this way, we hope to ensure water safety initiatives are responsive to the needs and assets of the regions culturally and linguistically diverse communities.

Rock fishing safety Rock fishing is one of the most dangerous sports in Australia, with the South East Sydney coastline, especially the Randwick coastline, being particularly dangerous in terms of deaths. To minimise risks, please adhere to the following: Wear a lifejacket - it is now law and fines apply Never fish alone and make sure someone knows where you are Stay alert and never turn your back on the sea Check weather conditions prior to going out Fish in known safe areas Wear correct clothing (non-slip shoes and lightweight clothing) If you see someone in trouble, do not enter the water. Find something to assist them like a life buoy, or anything that will float, such as an esky lid, and call 000 and ask for Police Learn to swim and learn CPR More resources on rock fishing safety can be found on page 8 of this book.

  • Infrastructure Funding Performance Monitor
    UDIA NSW | 2020 Infrastructure Funding Performance Monitor $2.7 billion is currently held as a restricted asset by Councils for the delivery of infrastructure • The current total balance of contributions held across the Greater Sydney megaregion is $2.7 billion, with the average amount held by a Council sitting at $56 million. • Every year new housing contributes almost $900 million to local infrastructure, Executive roads, stormwater, open space and community facilities across the Greater Sydney megaregion through the infrastructure charging framework. It is expected Summary that this infrastructure is built with the funds that are paid. • However, only 64% of the contributions that are paid for were spent in the last three years. Average Total Expenditure Total Income Balance E/I ($’000) ($’000) ($’000) Total 0.64 $650,679 $876,767 $2,653,316 Contributions Under a s7.11 0.85 $564,670 $711,912 $2,330,289 or s7.12 Under a s7.4 0.62 $41,640 $124,180 $259,501 The amount of unspent funding has increased over the past three years • Since FY16 total unspent contributions have increased 33% from $1.98 billion to over $2.65 billion. Executive • In the last year alone unspent contributions increased by 7.8%, or almost $191 million. Summary • Local Government must resolve local issues to ensure that infrastructure is actually provided on the ground. If necessary, the State Government should step-in to support Councils get infrastructure on the ground. Increased funding does not correlate to increased infrastructure delivery • The scatter graphs here show an extremely weak relationship between cash held and expenditure ratios.

    Newsletter of Sutherland Shire Council July/August 2015 OUR SHIRE www.sutherlandshire.nsw.gov.au GREENHILLS SKATE PARK Work is underway at Greenhills for the eagerly anticipated regional skate park. Located just off Captain Cook Drive, the facility is just one part of a 91 hectare sport and recreation precinct being developed by Australand and Breen under a voluntary planning agreement with Council that has allowed the companies to build nearby housing estates.
