DEPARTMENT OF MAIN ROADS, NEW SOUTH WALES. TENTH ANNUAL REPORT. (FOR PERIOD 1ST JULY, 1934, TO 30ru JUNE, 1935.) The Honorable the Minister for Transport, Sydney. In accordance with the provisions of section 6 of the Main Roads Act, 1924-31, I have the honour to submit the Tenth Annual Report for presentation to Parliament, through the Minister, covering the period 1st July, 1934, to 30th June, 1935. A few matters in this Report are carried beyond the latter date for convenience and completeness of record. PART I.—PRELIMINARY. MINISTER. During the whole of the period covered by this Report, Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. M. F. Bruxner, D.S.O., M.L.A., Deputy Premier and Minister for Transport, has been in charge of the administration of the Main Roads Act. RESIGNATION OP MR. T. H. UPTON, ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER. Mr. T. H. Upton, O.B.E., M.Sc, M.C.E., M.Inst.C.E., M.I.E.A., Assistant Commissioner for Main Roads, relinquished his association with the Department consequent upon his appointment as President of the Metropolitan Water, Sewerage and Drainage Board on 30th April, 1935. Mr, Upton was appointed one of the two Engineering Members of the Main Roads Board when it was constituted in 1925, following upon the enactment of the Main Roads Act. In 1929, whilst a member of the Board, he represented road interests on the Commonwealth Transport Committee set up-by the Commonwealth Government to report upon the co-ordination of transport in Australia, and in 1932 the State Government availed itself of his services in connection with the work of the Transport Advisory Committee established to enquire into the use of motor omnibus transport in the Metropolitan areas of Sydney and Newcastle. With the passing of the Transport (Division of Functions) Act, 1932, Mr. Upton was appointed Assistant Commissioner for Main Roads, which position he vacated on taking up his new duties. With a thorough practical training following the close of a particularly meritorious University career, supplemented by his war service, Mr. Upton brought to bear upon his work as., a member of the Main Roads Board, and later as Assistant Commissioner, the results of a wide and varied experience in that species of knowledge which constitutes the profession of a Civil Engineer, being the art of directing the great sources of power in Nature for the use and convenience of man, and I desire to place on record my sincere appreciation of a loyal colleague. The example set by him in strict adherence to principle, his devotion to duty, his undoubted ability and proved capacity, have all combined to make a lasting impression upon the Main Roads organisation. EXTENSION OF OPERATIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT. As part of the Government's general policy to simplify the system of road administration throughout the State, it has been decided that the roads and bridges activities of the Department of Public Works shall be transferred to the Department of Main Roads. In conformity with this arrangement this Department has from the 2nd September, 1935, assumed control of all road works3 bridges and ferries in the Western Division of the State, including such works in the six Municipalities of Broken Hill, Bourke, Brewarrina, Cobar, Wentworth and Wilcannia within that Division, and in addition the control of all National bridges and ferries in the Eastern and Central Divisions of the State whether situated on main roads or not. • The necessary funds for the works in the Western Division are provided for under the Main Roads Act, and the Commissioner for Main Roads has been authorised to meet the cost temporarily of the National works referred to in the Eastern and Central Divisions from Main, Roads funds, pending the introduction of amending legislation to confirm and validate these matters. The transfer of these activities completes the co-ordination of the Government's interests in the maintenance and construction of roads and bridges. In future all such works will be controlled and/or subsidised by the Department of Main Roads, although certain emergency unemployment relief works, which may include works on roads or bridges will continue to be controlled by the Department now superintending those works. In extension of its policy of decentralisation and with the object of bringing the Department's officers into closer touch with the various Councils in the North-Eastern portion of the State, arrangements were made as from 1st September, 1935, for the establishment of a new Division in that area with head­ quarters at Grafton. This Division, embracing the coastal area from the Southern boundary of the Nambucca Shire to the Queensland border, was formerly controlled from the Department's offices at Glen Innes and Newcastle. In conjunction with the establishment of this new Division, the boundaries of other Divisions in the northern portion of the State have been varied to a minor extent* 2 REVIEW OP FIRST TEN YEARS' OPERATIONS UNDER THE MAIN ROADS ACT—1925-1935. With the presentation of this report there is closed the tenth complete year of operations under the Main Roads Act. It is of interest, therefore, to review briefly the changes which have taken place between 1925 and 1935 in the roads of the State and the means which have been adopted to place them in a condition to provide reasonably for the traffic which they have to bear. The end of the world war in 1918 was coincident with a rapid, increase in the popularity of motor vehicles. The roads at that stage, however, had not been designed nor built to carry fast-moving traffic. They were quickly broken up by this traffic and in places made almost impassable. The act became law as from 1st January, 1925, and at that time there were 95,000 motor vehicles registered in New South Wales. As at the end of June, 1935, the total had reached 244,000, so that at present there are almost three vehicles for each one used on the roads ten years ago. Prior to the commencement of the Act a few metropolitan Councils had borrowed money and set about building roads which would better cope with the volume and speed of the new motor traffic. To some extent work also had been carried out in expenditure of funds made available by the Government to the Department of Public Works. For the most part these improvements had taken place on roads in close proximity to the City and had not extended into country districts. Before the appointment of the Main Roadb Board 1.2,800 miles of roads had been proclaimed as main roads and these were taken over by the new organisation. The roads were all of one class and the Board considered as the greatest need the improvement of the most important routes serving the metropolitan suburbs and those proceeding inland and-to other States. In the metropolitan area there were many missing links between stretches of fairly good road. These were filled in and the roads gradually extended outwards from the City. As far as funds would permit, roads which were too narrow to carry the traffic were widened or machinery set up for the gradual widening over a period of years'.

These events include street parades, motor races, cycling races, jazz festivals, cultural celebrations, sporting events, open air theatres and concerts, and balls or dance parties and can often attract large numbers of people. A lot of time and effort goes into planning and promoting these events and they are often seen as a way of creating employment and providing economic benefits for the local community. Councils play a variety of roles, from event manager to consent authority, and have to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages for everyone in their community before they give approval for the event to go ahead. Events are often complex and may depend on approvals from a range of different agencies. The key to staging a successful event is good communication, as early as possible in the process, between the promoter of the event and the local council and other consent authorities such as the Police and the Environment Protection Authority.

However, an unfortunate feature of the subsequent debate on the local infrastructure crisis has been its almost total neglect of the role of the Commonwealth Roads to Recovery Program which has helped to alleviate this crisis. Using the institutional context of Roads to Recovery funding to New South Wales local government, this paper seeks to remedy this neglect by presenting an initial exploratory analysis of the operation of the Roads to Recovery Program.
