TERMS OF REFERENCE “Deficiencies in infrastructure which currently impede development in Australia’s regional areas.” Comments - - university courses are still inadequate in Albury-Wodonga, even though two major universities are present. Our per capita student enrolments are still lower than for other major regional centres; - the regular withdrawal of public services can mean significant travel times for users and consequent higher costs. It also means loss of income from often-skilled employees leaving the area; - the tendency by Commonwealth, NSW and Victorian governments to locate regional offices away from state border areas (the “360 degrees syndrome”) - even if Albury-Wodonga is a more appropriate and larger location; - this heading could be taken to also include situations where regional areas’ infrastructure lags behind that in capital cities.

    MUNIUIPALITY OF AUBURN TRIENNIAL REPORT 1972-1974 TRIENNIAL REPORT 1972-1974 MUNICIPALITY OF AUBURN Reduction ratio: 55 440 : 1. Area of Municipality: 3152 ha. Length of Roadways: 197.95 km. Population: 48 430. 5((0ND WARD ROOKWOOO C.E.MlT1'Y GENERAL With the pending conclusion of this triennial period, it is with pleasure that I am able to present for information pur­ poses, an outline of the various activities of Council during the three years commencing September, 1971. This report also covers the initial two Mayoral terms when the Office of Mayor was held by Alderman C. G. Noble. Amendments to the Local Government Act prior to that date, advanced the time for holding triennial elections from December to September; this alteration being intended for any newly elected aldermen to ob­ tain a grasp on the functions of Council prior to the commence­ ment of the coming financial year with its attending important tasks of considering estimates of income and expenditure and the fixing of a rate. At this point, I feel that some tribute should be paid to the enthusiasm and energies of my fellow aldermen who, in per­ formance of their aldermanic duties, attended many meetings of Council and Committees as well as becoming involved in multi­ tudinous "on-site" inspections to assist them in their decision making responsibilities. The 1972-7 4 triennial period witnessed the introduction of many important amendments to the Local Government Act which, in a particular manner, affected or were designed to affect environ­ mental control and strengthen the powers of council to play a greater authoritative role in community government.

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.
