LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN The issues addressed in this Report are in accordance with the following Goals/Strategies of the City of Darwin 2012 – 2016 as outlined in the ‘Evolving Darwin Towards 2020 Strategic Plan’:- Goal 5 Effective and Responsible Governance Outcome 5.3 Good governance Key Strategies 5.3.1 Demonstrate good corporate practice and ethical behaviour KEY ISSUES Parking Enforcement Animal Management Public Places RECOMMENDATIONS THAT it be a recommendation to Council:- THAT Report Number 13C0093 DN:rg entitled Regulatory Services July, August & September 2013 Activities and Operational Update, be received and noted. 5 6 PAGE: 2 REPORT NUMBER: 13C0093 DN:rg SUBJECT: REGULATORY SERVICES JULY, AUGUST & SEPTEMBER 2013 ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE BACKGROUND This report details actions undertaken by Regulatory Services in responding to the regulation of public areas, the ongoing implementation of the Value Improvement Program and animal management. DISCUSSION CBD Parking Regulatory Services have implemented a highly functional CBD parking enforcement regime via the Value Improvement Program (VIP) to address unsafe parking practices previously observed and reported to Council. Objectives and subsequent goals outlined at the commencement of VIP are supported by real data, collated and analysed on a daily basis. Data controls, designed to capture and measure productivity, safety and cost contribution, also provide the opportunity to identify problematic parking areas. The structured framework that now exists around Council’s parking section showcases the benefits of a systematic and rigorous approach to parking enforcement. Figure 1.1 below illustrates the number of infringements issued for parking breaches in the CBD since April 2013. Figure 1.1 – Parking Infringement Notices Issued in the CBD 6 7 PAGE: 3 REPORT NUMBER: 13C0093 DN:rg SUBJECT: REGULATORY SERVICES JULY, AUGUST & SEPTEMBER 2013 ACTIVITIES AND OPERATIONAL UPDATE Figure 1.2 shows the total number of daily infringements issued for safety breaches in the CBD prior to and following the introduction of VIP. Safety offences include; parking on yellow lines, parking on footpaths and parking in restricted zones, i.e. Loading Zones. Figure 1.3 shows infringements issued to vehicles in breach of time restricted provisions, prior to and following the introduction of VIP. Figure 1.2 Figure 1.3 Suburban Parking As part of VIP, the Suburban Parking program is currently trialling a number of newly designed patrol routes. The purpose of the trial is to establish patrol routes that improve response times, levels of regulation and monitoring. To further assist in developing a more efficient practice Council’s IT Department have provided Rangers with remote access to Council databases. The provision of remote access allows Rangers to record their notes in the field through the use of a laptop. To date the trial has delivered a number of valuable outcomes including a reduction in drive time, increased visibility of Rangers in public areas, improved response times, supplementary regulation (daily) of problematic locations and improved compliance rates. Figures 1.4 and 1.5 provides data identifying complaints by suburb and offence. This data assists in determining what suburban locations require increased levels of regulation and monitoring. 7 8 PAGE: 4 REPORT NUMBER: 13C0093

  • Larrakia Family Groups by Dr Bill Day 2012 the Anthropologist, Peter Sutton (1998:112) Suggests Four Criteria for Larrakia Membership
    Larrakia Family groups by Dr Bill Day 2012 The anthropologist, Peter Sutton (1998:112) suggests four criteria for Larrakia membership. They are: Descent from a former identifiable landowner of Larrakia land, in accordance with Aboriginal tradition; Self identification as a Larrakia person; Acceptance as a Larrakia person generally by undisputed Larrakia group members; Desire to be accepted as a claimant in the present [Kenbi] case... As well as the anthropological models presented in the two Larrakia land claims under different legislation, the membership of the Larrakia group is defined by membership rules in representative bodies such as the Larrakia Nation Aboriginal Corporation (LNAC), the Larrakia Development Corporation (LDC), the Gwalwa Daraniki Association and the Kenbi Danggalaba Association. In fact, with the failure of the native title claim, a codified membership may be the only option for defining Larrakia identity. If this is to be the case, without having a ruling from an impartial court for guidance, it is important to ‘get it right’. The requirements for membership in the LNAC are listed in the rules of the LNAC (LNAC 1998; LNAC 2011) under Section 5.2.2, which states: A person who is eligible to apply for membership must be an individual who is: a) At least 18 years of age and an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person; b) One of the Native Title Holders of the Traditional Country and/or their descendants; c) All people registered with the Northern Land Council as Larrakia claimants in the Kenbi Land Claim and/or on whose behalf an application for Larrakia Native Title has been lodged with the National Native Title Tribunal, shall be eligible to become members.

  • Kulaluk David Ritchie Final Report to Heritage Council
    M12 - 12.2 - Attach A Review of the Assessment Process Carried Out in Relation to the Kulaluk Lease Area Prepared for The Northern Territory Heritage Council Dr David Ritchie Capricornia Consulting 31 May 2015 M12 - 12.2 - Attach A Cover Photo: NT News 20th May 1971 – Page 1 photo of Bobby Secretary - this report broke the story of Bobby’s claim to Kulaluk and heralded the sympathetic approach taken by the Editor, Jim Bowditch, to the Larrakia claim. Report to Heritage Council on Kulaluk [Version 1.1] 31 May 2015 2 M12 - 12.2 - Attach A Executive Summary This report is the “objective and thorough historical analysis” that The Chair of the Lands Planning and Mining Tribunal, Mr Greg Cavanagh, directed the Heritage Council obtain before reassessing the heritage significance of the Kulaluk. On the basis of this historical analysis, this report invites the Heritage Council to find that the Kulaluk Lease strongly meets criteria covering: cultural history (s.11(a)), special association with a community or cultural group (s.11(g)) and special association with the life or works of a person of importance in the Territory’s history (s.11(h)). The place, Kulaluk, strongly meets these criteria because: Chief Minister Paul Everingham’s decision to grant the Kulaluk Lease was the first and only occasion when a government has acted on the claims by Larrakia to land within the town area on the basis of their ancient and enduring traditional attachment to the country – despite such claims being made, and their moral basis recognised, throughout Darwin’s 145 year history.
