ACTION An update of all the Alliance activities for the 2015-16 year was given, as this was the last meeting before the end of the financial year. All the Project Support Officer reports can be viewed on the Alliance website.

Lynton Auld had attended an information session held in Dubbo by OEH and reported back on this meeting as well as handing out material to the group distributed at the meeting. Concerns were raised by the membership, and it was decided to further teleconference the issue on 16 June, after another meeting, specifically for Local Government, has been held by OEH. Motion from Murray Wood that the Alliance should submit a response to the reforms. All Councils should provide feedback, so common threads can be pulled together. ACTION Central Tablelands LLS will be running out projects with the Green Army in the next financial year, any Councils wishing to partner with projects in their LGA should let Diana know – remembering that the Green Army teams will only travel within 100kms of their base. ACTION Agenda Item 3 Central West Local Land Cherie Hughes Services Update Central West LLS has 6 new Landcare Facilitators in their region, including one at Coonamble.

ACTION Central West Local Land Services Local Government Incentive Funding for 2016-17 will be funded by NSW Catchment Action (CA), so projects will have to support outcomes identified by CA.

The Central West LLS Regional Weeds Committee, has elected Cr Peter Shilton from Warrumbungle Shire as its Chair, and Andrew Cosier from Western Plains Regional Council (Wellington) as its Deputy. A Statewide Draft Strategic Plan is being prepared. Meanwhile the Central West Committee is undertaking risk assessments to determine their Priority Weeds List. Agenda Item 4 Contamination Central Craig Flemming Update Update on the Contamination Central project, with Craig informing the group that training for Council staff was now underway. This will take 5-6 months of in-house and regional training on such topics as how to run the record keeping system, how the policy works, wording for 149Certificates etc. More information on the EPA’s guidelines in regard to Excavated Natural Material and Virgin Excavated Natural Material will also be distributed. Responsibility for UPSS will be passed to Councils on June 17. This will directly affect Councils with underground storage at their depots. Although the Policy Template has been completed, new Policy adoption by Councils has been fairly slow with only three on exhibition so far. Another four are ready to go on exhibition shortly, but Council amalgamations are creating some problems. Contamination Central/ALGA State Conference to be held in Dubbo on 31 May. All participating Councils have free entry to Conference. Craig has sent out email with details on 66 Corporation Ave | Bathurst NSW 2795 T: 02 6333 2323 | www.cwcewa.com.au how to join ALGA (already paid for) and register for conference - 76 delegates have so far registered for the Conference. Agenda Item 5 Biosecurity & the Peri Dianna Watkins & Urban Plan Satendra Kumar Biosecurity Reform Program DPI released the Biosecurity Strategy in 2013 and are now reforming the legislation to enact it. This will streamline 10 Acts and part of another 4 Acts into the Biosecurity Act. Supporting regulations, policies and procedures are currently being developed. Rather than re-inventing the wheel the process is drawing on the Queensland legislation – already in place. This will also help create harmony between the two jurisdictions. It will include the duty to mitigate or manage a threat if it is known. Responsibilities for Local Government will continue for Pest Animals and Weeds, with Weeds Officers being Authorised Officers in respect to weeds only. The Department recognises the need to get Biosecurity, and what it means, out to the wider community any innovative suggestions are welcome. Peri Urban Program This program is currently being run-out in the Greater Sydney LLS region where 25% of food production is produced on just 3% of landuse. The aim of the project is to improve biosecurity threats by demonstrating how the legislation works. Weeds are seen as a general biosecurity issue. Any questions or suggestions on the reforms can be directed to: - Animal Security and Welfare – Lisa Martin - 0428 623 471 - Plant Biosecurity and Weeds - Karen O’Malley - 0428 103 665 - Invasive Animals – Jamie Maddocks – 0429 924 365 - Project Manager – Ray Willis – 0429 910 132 Agenda Item 6 Targeted Ecosystems – Colleen Farrow Cat Tracking Project Colleen detailed the results of a Cat Tracking Program, originally developed in South Australia and which has recently been run out

  • Jobs for the Future in Regional Areas Submission
    1. KEY FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Dubbo, Gilgandra and Narromine economies have performed strongly over recent years, with evidence that parts of the economy are operating at close to full capacity. With a large pipeline of significant infrastructure and construction projects planned for the region and low levels of unemployment, it is expected that some industry sectors will suffer from a shortage of skilled staff over the next few years, unless strategies are put in place to support economic growth. Dubbo Regional Council, Gilgandra Shire Council and Narromine Shire Council along with the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC), have commissioned the Western Research Institute (WRI) to deliver an industry engagement and research project to better understand the extent skills shortages are impacting on local construction, infrastructure, rail and heavy industry sectors in the local economies and what can be done to mitigate these expected skill shortages once the expected major projects have commenced. This report details the findings of WRI’s industry engagement and research activities. This report delivers a capital expenditure and employment project derived from a comprehensive assessment of planned capital projects in the Dubbo, Gilgandra and Narromine region over the next six years. 4 WESTERN RESEARCH INSTITUTE KEY FINDINGS • A review of data relating to employment, skills • Specific skill shortages were found across and the economies of the Dubbo, Gilgandra and the trades listed below. Strong future demand Narromine region illustrate a regional economy was also identified for specific skills, including with strong growth in construction and mining, plant operators, truck drivers, electricians, and low levels of unemployment.

  • Oberon – More Than You Imagine”
    OBERON COUNCIL Local Strategic Planning Statement 2038 (DRAFT) “Oberon – more than you imagine” Document Status Author Date Doc stage Rev No. 1 Oberon Council March 2020 Pre exhibition draft 2 Oberon Council May 2020 Exhibition draft Final i Mayor’s Foreword To develop a vision for land use for the next twenty years the Oberon Council Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) considers land use trends that are currently occurring in the Local Government Area (LGA) and anticipates others that may likely emerge. The continued importance of agriculture, forestry, lifestyle and tourism is acknowledged and planning actions are included in this document to ensure ongoing viability in these areas. However we must also be cognisant of the fact that the use of agricultural land is changing across the country. Council is looking at planning strategies to increase employment opportunities in both the manufacturing and farming sectors through value adding and new development. Currently Oberon is enjoying popularity as a lifestyle option with many new residents choosing to move here and embrace our lifestyle. The LSPS looks to expand upon this trend and analyse what will be required to further enhance the popularity of Oberon whilst minimising risks to new residents posed by bushfire, flooding and other natural disasters. “Oberon – more than you imagine” is the vision of Council community strategic plan with the mission being “A prosperous town, village and rural communities set amongst the rolling hills, rivers, forests, mountains and caves of the great divide. Breathe fresh air in a landscape of light, colour and seasonal beauty. Life as it should be.” Oberon Council is committed to this message and views land use planning as a means to protect our most important assets whilst at the same time providing lifestyle and employment opportunities which will enhance the vibrancy of our LGA into the future.
