    Draft Eastern District Plan Submission_id: 31577 Date of Lodgment: 15 Dec 2017 Origin of Submission: Online Organisation name: CLOSEast Organisation type: Community Group First name: Licia Last name: Heath Suburb: 2024 Submission content: See attachment Number of attachments: 1 Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Submission to GSC re Revised Draft Eastern City District Plan from CLOSEast (Communities for Local Options for Secondary Education, East) December 2017 Written by Licia Heath, Co-Campaign Director, CLOSEast This submission is made in response to the recent release of the GSC Revised Draft Eastern City District Plan, particularly Planning Priority E3. Please note our previous March submission (enclosed herewith for reference) is still valid and our rationale and objectives are contained in that and unchanged: there is desperate need for a new public high school in Sydney’s East. Within this new submission we focus on tackling assumptions made in the Revised Draft Eastern City District Plan as well as presenting new data and trends CLOSEast have compiled in recent months. The GSC Eastern City District covers a large area that is very densely populated and diverse in nature. For that reason it’s important to define the area of the East this submission focusses on, namely where we believe the crisis is greatest in terms of a lack of public secondary school places: the Waverley and Woollahra LGAs, extending down into the northern border of the Randwick LGA. Why is this part of the East worse than other LGAs? ✓ Larger birth rate than

  • The Administration of the Juvenile Correction System Reverted to the Institutional Practices More Characteristic of the Middle of the Nineteenth Century
    1 . ‘UNENLIGHTENED EFFICIENCY’: THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE JUVENILE CORRECTION SYSTEM IN NEW SOUTH WALES 1905-1988 Thesis for Doctorate of Philosophy University of Sydney Peter Quinn, January, 2004 2 Certification I certify that this work has not been submitted for a degree to any other university or institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by any other person, except where due reference has been made in the text. Peter Quinn January, 2004. 3 ABSTRACT This work traces the history of the juvenile correction system in twentieth century New South Wales, focusing on the evolution of major reforms aimed at curbing delinquency. The study begins in 1905 with the Neglected Children and Juvenile Offenders Act. It concludes in 1988, when another set of significant reforms, designed to deal with perceived inadequacies of the established system, commenced. The main focus of the thesis is the government system of corrections. Although there was an active non - government correction system, this sector was increasingly absorbed by the larger public sphere. The principal argument is that, although there were sporadic periods during which changes to the system were made, its progress through most of the twentieth century was characterised by an underlying attitude which regarded the boys and girls it dealt with, particularly those committed to institutions, as belonging to an inferior, delinquent class. As such, they were treated as the progeny of a criminal class destined for the most part to remain part of that class. This idea of a delinquent class coloured all aspects of the way juveniles were treated, specifically lack of resources, the dominance of economic considerations over the welfare of children, excessive regimentation, harsh discipline and illegal punishments.

  • Legislative Assembly
    18699 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 15 November 2001 ______ The Clerk announced the absence of Mr Speaker. Mr Deputy-Speaker (Mr John Charles Price) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Deputy-Speaker offered the Prayer. PRIVATE MEMBERS' STATEMENTS _________ WOY WOY PENINSULA COMMUNITY SAFETY SEMINARS Ms ANDREWS (Peats) [10.00 a.m.]: During the past month I have hosted a series of community safety seminars on the Woy Woy Peninsula. The first of those was at Pearl Beach on 5 October, then at Patonga on 9 October, Woy Woy on 15 October, Umina Beach on 29 October and Ettalong Beach on 31 October. With the co-operation of the acting commander, representatives of the Brisbane Water Local Area Command addressed the meetings and outlined the command system of operation. Local residents were then allowed to raise any questions or concerns regarding local policing. Superintendent Greg Ashurst, Acting Commander, Brisbane Water Local Area Command, attended all of the sessions. He was accompanied on each occasion by at least one other police officer, and often two police officers, from the local area command. I would like to acknowledge Acting Inspector Mark Hutchings, Crime Manager; Senior Sergeant Irene Juergens, Crime Prevention Officer; Sergeant Bruce Moore, Intelligence; Inspector Darren Cox, Duty Officer; and Acting Sergeant Steven Fishpool, Licensing. Anne Sullivan, a former tutor at the Trade Union Training Authority, and a person with a vast wealth of experience in a number of other very demanding areas, facilitated each of the information sessions. I place on record my appreciation of Anne Sullivan. A number of local residents who attended the sessions were surprised to learn that a lot of the time of police officers from the Brisbane Water Local Area Command, and indeed from the Central Coast, is spent responding to domestic violence.

  • I Would Like to State First and Foremost That I Am Not Affiliated with Any
    I would like to state first and foremost that I am not affiliated with any political or action groups and speak here as a long time citizen of inner Newcastle (Newcastle East, Newcastle The Hill and Tighes Hill). I think the rail corridor should be used for the use it was originally designated for: Heavy Rail. I cannot make economic, or otherwise, sense of removing working heavy infrastructure from a major city with a direct link to a capital city as well as the pulse of the region: the Hunter Valley. It just does not make any sense. Re‐install the heavy rail, immediately. You can build over the rail, if you must, for more units and commercial space and interconnectedness between Hunter Street and the harbour. Perhaps reinvigorate the second storey of buildings either side of the rail corridor. Then with all the money saved by not wasting it on the world's shortest tram route spend it on real and useful public transport options. Such as a tram (or other) route from Newcastle heavy rail terminus to Nobby's, Newcastle beach, King Street, Darby St, Bar Beach, The Junction. Or perhaps extend the rail to Wallsend and the build a tram (or other) from the growing residential areas of Cameron Park and Fletcher etc to the new rail at Wallsend or to Cardiff. Perhaps a tram or rail from Nelson Bay, via Newcastle air port, to Newcastle rail station. Maybe a decent ferry route incorporating Carrington/Linwood and lower end of Stockton. My point here is, keep heavy rail in the Newcastle rail corridor.
