As required under the NSW Heritage Act 1977, all works in the immediate vicinity will cease immediately and the NSW Heritage Branch will be notified. Works will not recommence until appropriate management measures approved by the NSW Heritage Branch are implemented. All staff and contractors will be inducted and trained in cultural heritage procedures so they are aware of their obligations under the NSW Heritage Act. 7.8.5 Residual Impact Assessment The Project will not result in any impacts to known sites of non-Aboriginal cultural heritage significance. It is unlikely that there are any unidentified non-Aboriginal sites of cultural heritage significance that the Project could impact. 7.8.6 Monitoring Program Monitoring of non-Aboriginal cultural heritage sites will primarily involve auditing of the established procedures to ensure that they are being followed by staff and contractors. 7.9 Socio-economic Environment 7.9.1 Study Methods A socio-economic characterisation assessment was undertaken to determine the potential socio- economic impacts of the Project (Appendix 10). The assessment was informed by demographic data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), particularly the 2006 census and local and regional planning strategies.

  • Legislative Assembly
    18163 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 7 November 2001 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Henry Murray) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. UNIVERSITIES LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (FINANCIAL AND OTHER POWERS) BILL HIGHER EDUCATION BILL Bills introduced and read a first time. Second Reading Mr AQUILINA (Riverstone—Minister for Education and Training) [10.00 a.m.]: I move: That these bills be now read a second time. The Government is committed to modernising and strengthening the regulatory framework in which the New South Wales higher education sector operates. This legislative package delivers on that commitment. It comprises the Universities Legislation Amendment (Financial and Other Powers) Bill and the Higher Education Bill. The two bills are essential to underpin New South Wales universities' core mission of promoting scholarship and academic excellence. The legislation will also help to secure public investment and public confidence in higher education. These bills are responsive to the needs of the higher education sector and to the people of New South Wales. They are necessary because governments must deal with the demands and tensions now facing the sector in Australia. The bills recognise not only the value of teaching and research but also the need and capacity for our educational institutions to produce knowledge, and to use it. They reflect the Government's commitment to ensuring that the New South Wales higher education sector is a vital participant in the knowledge economy. The two bills will serve to ensure high standards and quality delivery of higher education in New South Wales and support the development of our universities as strong, effective and vibrant public institutions in the face of significant funding challenges, competition and uncertain times.
