  • Local Plumbing Regulators in NSW On-Site Plumbing and Drainage Compliance and Inspections
    Local plumbing regulators in NSW On-site plumbing and drainage compliance and inspections This document outlines who performs the functions of the plumbing regulator in NSW. Under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2011 NSW Fair Trading is the plumbing regulator in New South Wales. The Plumbing Code of Australia is the technical standard for compliance throughout NSW. It is the responsibility of the plumbing regulator in each area to set requirements for inspections of on-site plumbing and drainage. Fair Trading’s area of operation includes all areas in which properties are provided with services (either drinking water, recycled water or a sewerage service) by Sydney Water Corporation or Hunter Water Corporation. This area of operation stretches from Gerringong in the south (the Illawarra), to Newcastle, Port Stephens and Dungog in the north (the Hunter), and west to Mount Victoria (Blue Mountains). The function of the plumbing regulator has been delegated by Fair Trading to local councils, county councils, or other qualified bodies. The delegation of the function has been accepted by local and county councils across NSW, with a small number of exceptions where the council declined the delegation. Below are two tables identifying the local authority for plumbing regulator functions, including conducting inspections, throughout NSW by local government area. Please Note: Onsite plumbing and drainage work does not include stormwater, fire suppression; work on network utility assets or roof plumbing. If you are a plumber or drainer in regional

  • The Emergence of Community Strategic Planning in New South Wales, Australia: Influences, Challenges and Opportunities
    RESEARCH and EVALUATION The emergence of community strategic planning in New South Wales, Australia: Influences, challenges and opportunities Commonwealth Journal of Local Governance Issue 7: November 2010 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/ojs/index.php/cjlg Jason Prior1 Research Principal Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology, Sydney Jade Herriman Research Principal Institute for Sustainable Futures, University of Technology, Sydney Abstract This paper investigates the emergence of community strategic planning in the New South Wales (NSW) local government sector, against the backdrop of a series of broad influences ranging from increased interest in participatory democracy through to sustainable infrastructure provision. It provides an understanding of how community strategic planning has evolved over the past few decades to embody these influences. The paper concludes with reflections on some common challenges and opportunities experienced by local councils in NSW that have undertaken voluntary community strategic planning or are in the process of developing community strategic plans. Given underlying similarities in the emergence of participatory long-term strategic planningin local government around the world, many of the experiences associated with the preparation of community strategic plans in the NSW context are likely to be of relevance to those undertaking similar processes in other jurisdictions. Keywords Community, Strategic Planning, Participation and Engagement, New South Wales local government, Australian local government 1 The authors thank ISF Research Director Emma Partridge for early conceptual inputs into the community engagement aspects of this paper, and access to her recent research into community wellbeing indicators. They also acknowledge the councils named for their ongoing work in the domain of corporate, strategic and community planning and being the focus of this paper.

  • Pollution Incident Response Management Plan
    Pollution Incident Response Management Plan Boral Transport EPA Licence 13197 All tanker drivers are to be tool-boxed on this PIRMP (annually) and undertake daily pre-start checks on all vehicles to reduce the likelihood of a leak or spill. POLLUTION INCIDENTS Boral Transport is now required to report pollution incidents immediately to the EPA, the relevant Local Authority (Council), Ministry of Health, SafeWork NSW (Workcover) and Fire and Rescue NSW. The definition of a pollution incident is: “pollution incident means an incident or set of circumstances during or as a consequence of which there is or is likely to be a leak, spill or other escape or deposit of a substance, as a result of which pollution has occurred, is occurring or is likely to occur. It includes an incident or set of circumstances in which a substance has been placed or disposed of on premises, but it does not include an incident or set of circumstances involving only the emission of any noise.” A pollution incident is required to be notified if there is a risk of ‘material harm to the environment’, which is defined as: a) harm to the environment is material if: i. it involves actual or potential harm to the health or safety of human beings or to ecosystems that is not trivial, or ii. it results in actual or potential loss or property damage of an amount, or amounts in aggregate, exceeding $10,000 (or such other amount as is prescribed by the regulations), and b) loss includes the reasonable costs and expenses that would be incurred in taking all reasonable and practicable measures to prevent, mitigate or make good harm to the environment.
