ACTOC also promotes the interests and activities of Olympians resident in Canberra and provides administrative support to the Olympians Club of the ACT. It liaises with the ACT Government, its departments and agencies, including the ACT Academy of Sport, and supports the AOC’s education program by liaising with and providing material to schools and educational authorities as part of promoting the Olympic Movement, its ideals and ACTOC activities. It also assists the AOC in raising funds for Australian athletes preparing to participate in the Olympic Games. It therefore has a key role in the ACT’s sporting and community activities, and I am pleased to present the Council’s 2015 Annual Report and to outline the activities that took place during the year. For the Council’s Secretary, Bruce Coe, and myself, the year began on a sad note with the death in Queensland of long-time AOC historian Harry Gordon. As fellow historians Bruce and I had always been very close to Harry, and for that reason ensured our presence at memorial services for him held on the Gold Coast and in Melbourne. Harry made a magnificent contribution to the chronicling of the Australian Olympic Committee, and, thereby the State and Territory Councils, and will be sorely missed. A major facet of the Council’s ongoing strategic plan incorporates the AOC’s requirements regarding fundraising. As was the case in 2014, a significant amount of time was spent in the early part of this year consulting with the AOC about putting such strategies in place as part of the 2016 Australian Olympic Team Appeal. A meeting of State Olympic Councils at the AOC AGM, attended by Bruce Coe, provided a fundraising template, while meetings were also held in Canberra with potential chairs of a fundraising committee. The strategies formulated eventually came part-way to fruition with the appointment of prominent businessman Paul Powderly as chair of the committee. Mr Powderly is the local head of the national property company Colliers International and has excellent fundraising credentials. Vice President Andrew Dee and I met Paul in September at Colliers, and were impressed by his business and government networking potential and the plans he wanted to put in place. By year’s end he had met AOC President John Coates and Chief Minister Andrew Barr and assembled a committee of corporate identities. We await with interest further developments. Independently of the fundraising committee we are in negotiations with Canberra Tradies about an Olympic Trivia Quiz. Assistant Secretary Owen Heness once again took responsibility for the administration of the annual Pierre de Coubertin awards, a key facet of the AOC’s education program. The awards engage students from Canberra’s secondary schools and colleges, whose nominees are required to have taken an active part in their schools’ sporting activities and to have also prepared a literary or artistic work demonstrating their appreciation of the Olympic Movement and its values. On Friday 19 June, four days before the internationally- recognised Olympic Day, 32 students were presented at the Weston Campus of the Canberra College with their awards by rowing Olympians Marty Rabjohns and Hannah Every-Hall, who also enthralled the students with descriptions of their Olympic exploits and what the Olympics and representing Australia meant to them. The Council again wishes to record its appreciation to Diane Heness, who once more provided superb catering. I presented a token of the AOC’s and the Council’s appreciation to Jenny Noordhuis who, 5 after many years’ service, stepped down from her role as the ACT Department of Education’s link to ACTOC and the awards. We were able to facilitate the attendance at the 2015 International Pierre de Coubertin Youth Forum of Canberra Girls Grammar student Olivia Sutton, a previous recipient of a Pierre de Coubertin award. An outstanding candidate, Olivia was the school’s sports captain for 2015, helped organise athletics, cross-country and swimming carnivals, and arranged a variety of fundraising functions. We were also very happy to part-subsidise her journey to Slovakia. Olympians, some 130 of whom live in the ACT, are role models to sportspeople of all ages and abilities, most notably aspiring Olympians, and are a great resource, potentially, in terms of assisting the Council’s fundraising efforts and profile. In recent years, however, only a few Olympians have either assisted with or attended events organised by the Council. There were signs in 2015 of assistance and encouragement, but the Olympians Club remains a work in progress. We were nevertheless delighted by the accomplishments of those Olympians or potential Olympians preparing to compete in Rio, notably Council member Kim Crow, winner of the single sculls at this year’s world championships in France. We later also congratulated Kim, and her sculler husband, Scott Brennan, a 2008 Olympic gold medallist, on their marriage. I was delighted early in the year to receive agreement from Chief Minister Andrew Barr that he would accept the position of the Council’s Patron. The Council continued to maintain an excellent relationship with the ACT Government, notably with Mr Barr’s successor as sports minister, Shane Rattenbury. The good relationship we had with the ACT’s sports lobby group ACTSport ended when Mr Rattenbury announced that the organisation would cease operating, but not before Bruce Coe, in his capacity as a member of ACTSport’s ACT Hall of Fame selection committee, had successfully re- nominated Olympic basketballer the late Sue Geh. Bruce and I attended Sue’s induction, at which we met and congratulated members of her family. I had meanwhile facilitated the signing by Mr Barr of a letter to the President of the Australian Olympic Committee, John Coates, supporting a change in the AOC’s constitution ‘to recognise the heritage, culture and contribution of our nation’s first people, and to give practical support to the issue of indigenous reconciliation through sport’. Among several other networking opportunities arising during the year were the launching at the University of Canberra’s Sports Hub of elite athlete scholarships, and a charity fundraising quiz night organised and hosted by Steve Doszpot MLA for which the Council contributed Olympic ‘collectables’. Marty Rabjohns and I arranged and attended a rowing Olympians’ social function for the 2015 world championships women’s eight, while I accepted an invitation from Basketball ACT to attend the opening ceremony of the 2015 Australian Schools Championships. I also attended, when appropriate, social functions at the Brazilian Embassy. ACTOC has maintained a cordial relationship with the executive and staff of the AOC in the areas of Olympic history, website operations and the AOC database. Treasurer Harry Carroll, contributed to the AOC’s efforts relating to best practice in governance by providing sound counsel on the financial management of State Olympic Councils (SOCs). Harry, Bruce Coe and I attended the pre-OIympics ‘Aspire’ event at the Australian Institute of Sport and Bruce was the Council’s constant ‘attendee’ of the regular AOC/SOCs teleconferences. 6 I wish to thank all members of the executive for their support and assistance throughout the year. Despite ongoing professional and personal difficulties, now resolved, Andrew Dee, provided great support to me, as did Bruce Coe, a tower of strength, prepared always to deal not only with ‘regulation’ tasks but also those from ’left field’ allocated to him by the AOC. Harry and Owen maintained the support they have delivered over a number of years, while behind the scenes Brendon Prout quietly facilitated venue opportunities and gave sound advice.

Confirmation of Minutes of February 2011 Meeting: Accepted: Jan Petrie Seconded: Dugald Holmes Matters Arising from February 2011 Meeting: No matters were raised by members. President’s Report (Mr Darryl Johnston): President, Darryl Johnston presented the following Report: “Welcome to another meeting of the Tuggeranong Community Council. Much has been going on behind the scenes this past month. The TCC Executive has engaged local firm and one of our supporters, Sozo, to design a new TCC website. It will remain at the same address and TCC Executive members will, with a bit of training, manage the site. It is envisaged that the new website will have a new look and feel and will be easier to navigate and access information, especially for the disabled and those unfamiliar with the web. At the last TCC Executive meeting, Executive members were further briefed on proposals for the development of land opposite Bunnings. It is proposed to site housing for more than 2,000 new residents and develop a café/restaurant strip on the lake shores. The TCC plans to host a special public meeting in early April on this issue and the Tuggeranong/Erindale Master Plans. I hope that you have all received a copy of the Tuggeranong Community Council’s new newsletter, Valley Voice. It is the first in what I hope will be one of many issues to come.

  • YRA President's Report (19 September 2017)
    PRESIDENT’S REPORT ‐ YARRALUMLA RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION Annual General Meeting 19 September 2017 The YRA started the same year as Floriade, so we will be 30 next year. We had 150 financial members at the end of June 2017 including household members and individual members. If we assume 2 members for each household, we had 256 members at the end of June 2017. The YRA is represented by a committee of up to 13 members. We had a change in the committee following the last AGM. Former President Robyn Cooper stepped down in late 2016, but we were pleased to welcome Marea Fatseas back. I would like to thank Robyn for her contribution to the YRA over many years. The YRA is fortunate to have a very strong committee. Past President Marea Fatseas, our treasurer David Johnston, Paul Flanagan and myself have represented the YRA on the Brickworks Community Panel since it started in November 2015. Margaret Pentony was also an alternate member of the panel up until the most recent stage. Vice President Mike Lewis and our Public Officer Diana Wright have been willing and able to look at some other issues affecting Yarralumla that would have been overlooked otherwise. All committee members have contributed in their own way and I thank them all. It is important to remember that the YRA is a volunteer organisation and everyone contributes to the extent they are able. We unfortunately do not have the capacity to deal with all the issues, but we try our hardest. I would also like to point out that some of us have day jobs and active social lives.

Ltd.. 28 Edward Street, Brunswick. Vic. 3056 20 December 1972 The Honourable Kim Beazley, l.P. Minister for Education Parliament House CANBERRA. A.C.T. 2600 Dear Mr Beazley On 30 November 1971, following the publication by your Department of a plan- ning proposal involving the restructuring of secondary education in the A.C.T., the Minister for Education and Science at that time, the Honourable Malcolm Fraser, approved the formation of a Working Committee to examine the issues involved and to develop a firm proposal that could be put to him. This Committee was to consist of representatives nominated by the A.C.T. Council of Parents' and Citizens' Associations, the A.C.T. Secondary Teachers' Association, the A.C.T. Secondary Principals' Council, the New South Wales Department of Education, and the then Commonwealth Department of Education and Science. At our first meeting we agreed to invite a representative of the Canberra Branch of the Technical Teachers' Association. Because of the need for early decisions to be made concerning the designing of new buildings, we wrote to Mr Fraser on 31 May 1972 to convey our initial recommendations. The text of this letter has been substantially incorporated in this report (paragraphs 3.34-6, 3.46, 3.49-52, 7.107-8). Mr Fraser met the full Committee on 8 August to discuss our interim report, and on 10 August, he announced that he had accepted our main recommendations, covering the construction of new colleges and new style high schools, and the con- version of two existing high schools into colleges.

  • The ACT Election 2016: Back to the Future?
    The ACT election 2016: back to the future? Terry Giesecke 17 February 2017 DOI: 10.4225/50/58a623512b6e6 Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this paper are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect the view of APO. Copyright/Creative commons license: Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial 3.0 (CC BY-NC 3.0 AU) 12 pages Overview This resource is a summary of the outcome of the ACT election, held in October 2016. It was an unusual election, in that it saw little movement in party support from the previous election in 2012 and no fringe parties or candidates were elected. The main issues were the construction of a tramline, the implementation of tax reform, the demolition of over one thousand houses to resolve asbestos contamination and allegations of corruption. The ACT Election 2016: Back to the future? The ACT election on October 15 was more of a 1950s or 1960s election. In that era little movement occurred from one election to the next. In 1967 political scientist Don Aitkin wrote, “Most Australians have a basic commitment to one or other of the major parties, and very few change their mind from one election to the other”1. Not so today. In the last few years Australia has experienced three one term State/Territory Governments, huge swings from election to election and the rapid rise and fall of new parties. So why was the ACT different? The ACT election saw a swing of 0.5 per cent against the governing ALP and their partner the Greens and a 2.2 per cent swing against the opposition Liberals.
