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.

    ISSN 1835-761X Working Paper Series 18-2007 November 2007 An Analysis of the Roads to Recovery Program in New South Wales Local Government Margaret Lopez, Brian Dollery and Joel Byrnes School of Business, Economics and Public Policy & Centre for Local Government, UNE Abstract: A crisis has developed in the maintenance and renewal of vital Australian local infrastructure that has attracted the attention of several recent public inquiries and some academic scholarship. However, an unfortunate feature of the subsequent debate on the local infrastructure crisis has been its almost total neglect of the role of the Commonwealth Roads to Recovery Program which has helped to alleviate this crisis. Using the institutional context of Roads to Recovery funding to New South Wales local government, this paper seeks to remedy this neglect by presenting an initial exploratory analysis of the operation of the Roads to Recovery Program. Keywords: Infrastructure; local government; Roads to Recovery.

  • Cullerin WF Environmental Assessment
    Environmental Assessment: Proposed Wind Farm, Cullerin NSW 7 ASSESSMENT OF KEY ISSUES 7.1 Scoping and prioritisation of issues Recent reforms to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and associated planning instruments provide for the consolidated assessment of major projects, including wind farms involving more than $30 million in capital investment. The reforms also provide for improvements to efficiency in the assessment and approval process, by allowing assessments to focus on key ‘moderate to high priority’ issues. Moderate to high priority issues are those with the potential to produce significant environmental or human impacts. Lower priority issues are those which can be demonstrated to be manageable using established practices and mitigation measures. Using best practice and adaptive management approaches these issues are not likely to cause unacceptable environmental or human impacts. Where uncertainty or high levels of risk exist, issues are allocated to the moderate to high priority category. Moderate to high priority issues have been identified by an extensive review of experiences and research at existing wind farms in Australia and overseas, and consultation with landholders, the general public, government agencies and experts. In particular, the issues scoping process drew on the results of an Open House and questionnaire public consultation process held Gunning on 17 November 2005 (refer section 6.2), and a Planning Focus Meeting involving state and local government representatives held at the subject site on 10 November 2005 (refer section 6.3). A Project Application indicating the issues to be addressed in the EA and their priority for assessment was accepted by the Department of Planning on 7 December 2005.
