  • Brewarrina Shire
    Brewarrina Shire DRAFT LOCAL STRATEGIC PLANNING STATEMENT 17 February 2020 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF COUNTRY The Brewarrina Shire Council acknowledges and pays its respect to the Traditional Owners and their Nations of the Brewarrina Local Government Area including the Ngemba, Morawari, Barkinji, Kamilaroi, Koamu, Valari, Baranbinja, Wairadjuri, Yualwarri People. The contributions of earlier generations, including the Elders, who have fought for their rights in managing the land, is valued and respected. Brewarrina Shire Council acknowledges that the Traditional Owners and their Nations of the Brewarrina Shire have a deep cultural, social, environmental, spiritual and economic connection to their land. Brewarrina Shire Council understands the need for recognition of Traditional Owner knowledge and cultural values in the development of the Brewarrina Local Strategic Planning Statement and supports the belief that by working together we can provide beneficial outcomes for Traditional Owners and all people of the Brewarrina Shire. 1 FOREWARD A vision for our Shire in the future is reflecting a clear set of aspirations formed through the community feedback. WHAT DOES THIS STRATEGY DO? This Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) sets the framework for the economic, social and environmental land use needs over the next 20 years. The LSPS has also taken account of land use planning in adjacent Councils. It also works with Council’s Community Strategic Plan (CSP) and Local Environmental Plan (LEP). The LSPS gives effect to the Far West Regional Plan, implementing the directions and actions at a local level. The LSPS planning priorities, directions and actions provide the rationale for decisions about how we will use our land to achieve the community’s broader goals.

  • NSW and Qld Single Site Funding Update NSW Sites Area Extended Updated 12/08/21
    NSW and Qld single site funding update NSW sites area extended Updated 12/08/21 Single site workforce arrangements and funding support has been activated in the following areas in New South Wales: • City of Dubbo • Bogan Shire Council • Bourke Shire Council • Brewarrina Shire Council • Coonamble Shire • Gilgandra Shire Council • Narromine Shire Council • Walgett Shire Council • Warren Shire Council Given community transmission across regional areas in New South Wales (NSW) and following the declaration of hotspots (see here) in the above locations in by the Australian Government Chief Medical Officer, Professor Paul Kelly, workers at residential aged care facilities in impacted areas are asked to limit their work to a single facility to reduce the risk of transmission and protect workers and residents. Australian Government grant funding is now available to support implementation of these arrangements in the above area for an initial two-week period from 11 August to 25 August 2021. Based on advice from the Commonwealth Chief Medical Officer, and in line with advice from NSW government, these arrangements are limited to residential aged care providers in the specified areas in NSW (as defined on the Department of Health’s website). This may be expanded if required. Providers in these areas are asked to adjust their rosters and ensure staff are only working at one residential aged care facility within this region during this time. Workers are encouraged to speak with their primary employer and look to work all shifts during this period with the residential aged care provider where they were working the most hours prior to the outbreak.

  • Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Lone Pines – Around Australia and in New Zealand Background
    Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, Lone Pines – around Australia and in New Zealand Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) AGHS member Sarah Wood (who has toured a photographic exhibition of Victoria’s avenues) notes 60,000 Australian servicemen and women did not return from World War 1. This was from a population then of just 3 million, leaving lasting scars. Avenues of Honour were a living way of remembering and honouring these lives and sacrifices. Australia vigorously embraced them. As just one tangent, in 1916 the Anzac troops’ landing at Gallipoli, Turkey led the Victorian Department of Education to encourage all Victorian schools to use Arbor Day that year (and subsequent years, including after 1918) to plant native tree species such as gums and wattles to celebrate the Anzac landing. A number of these early plantings, some of which were avenues, others groves, groups, scattered and single trees, remain. More research is needed to confirm which survive. Treenet, a not-for-profit organisation based in Adelaide launched ‘The Avenues of Honour 1915-2015 Project’ in 9/2004 as part of the 5th National Street Tree Symposium. It is a national initiative aiming to honour with a tree the memory of every individual who has made the supreme sacrifice on behalf of all Australians, by documenting, preserving and reinstating the original and establishing new Avenues of Honour by the 2015 Gallipoli Centenary. Treenet combines under the name ‘Avenues of Honour’ Boer War memorial, WW1 and WW2 memorial avenues. This is a different to the approach AGHS has taken, distinguishing: a) Avenue of Honour = WW1; b) Memorial Avenue =WW2 (and sometimes subsequent wars); c) Other memorial avenue (other wars, e.g.
