Summary of Local Government Boundaries Commission comments The Boundaries Commission has reviewed the Delegate’s Report on the proposed merger of Gloucester Shire Council, Great Lakes Council, and Greater Taree City Council to determine whether it shows the legislative process has been followed and the Delegate has taken into account all the factors required under the Local Government Act 1993 (the Act). The Commission has assessed that: the Delegate’s Report shows that the Delegate has undertaken all the processes required by section 263 of the Act, the Delegate’s Report shows that the Delegate has adequately considered all the factors required by section 263(3) of the Act with the exception of the factors listed under subsections 263(3)(e1) (service delivery) and 263(3)(e5) (diverse communities), and the Delegate’s recommendation in relation to the proposed merger is supported by the Delegate’s assessment of the factors. 2.

  • 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
    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.

  • Community Insight Australia, Business Plan, 2014
    Design By .COM.AU Australia Insight Community This report is presented by Social Impact Hub. Written by: Max Huang, Monti Daryani, Luis Nunez and Vruchi Waje Supervised by: Jessica Roth and Lopa Mehrotra. November 2014 Executive Summary While hundreds of publicly available datasets are released everyday, many organisations do not have the in-house analytical capabilities to better target the work they are doing. Community Insight Australia is a platform that presents this data in easy to generate and analyse, user-defined reports, maps and information sets. It aims to provide not-for-profits, housing providers, corporations, local and state government agencies with the information they require to design better targeted solutions to solve local problems. Locally and internationally the competition for Community Insight Australia is strong, but what sets it apart is its user centred, unrestrictive interface, which means users can start geographical analytics immediately. Community Insight Australia has an exclusive licensing agreement with Community Insight UK, who will provide all back-end and technical support. The Founder of Community Insight Australia is Emma Tomkinson who has worked with the UK precedent and understands the problem that the Community Insight platform solves. The initial capital required is $143,185. This includes a one-off licensing fee to the UK parent organisation. With a total addressable market valued at $2.1 billion and the increasing importance of data mining, Community Insight Australia is poised for steady growth by selling into the public, social, and private sectors. Community Insight Australia employs a subscription-based pricing model, and forecasts to break-even and start repaying investors within the third year of operation.

Version April 2013 *The paper used in this report is manufactured using low environmental impact FSC accredited pulps and is totally chlorine free What is a Community Strategic Plan? A Community Strategic Plan is an important community document that addresses the question of “Where do we, as a community, want to be in the future?” It provides a roadmap to help us achieve the things that are important to us – such as community connectedness, health, transport, environment, job opportunities, local economy and participative governance. Why do we need it? The Local Government Act 1993 requires each Council to have a Community Strategic Plan that identifies the main priorities and aspirations for the future of its community. Every four years the Community Strategic Plan is reviewed against changes to the profile of our Shire to ensure that it still meets our needs as a community. 1 What is Council’s role? How did we develop the Plan?

  • Statistical Methods for Biosecurity Monitoring and Surveillance Author(S) / Address (Es) David Fox, University of Melbourne
    Report Cover Page ACERA Project 0605 Title Statistical Methods for Biosecurity Monitoring and Surveillance Author(s) / Address (es) David Fox, University of Melbourne Material Type and Status (Internal draft, Final Technical or Project report, Manuscript, Manual, Software) Final Report Summary This report investigates the applicability of traditional methods of analysing surveillance data to biosecurity risks, and explores some more recent innovations designed to detect subtle trends and anomalous behaviour in data over space and time. In particular, it examines control charting and syndromic surveillance methods, and explores how useful they are likely to be in dealing with typical biosecurity disease and pest surveillance. If focuses on disease detection, and methods for optimising surveillance networks and robust methods for minimising levels of inspection. This work provides a proof of concept of these approaches. The case studies, while based on real contexts, are intended only to be illustrative. If the tools are considered to be potentially useful, the next stage would involve development of specific applications to trial their utility.
