Minister’s Foreword Building vibrant and sustainable communities is a complex, multi-layered process but at its heart is one critically important component – the views of the community itself. There is growing recognition both in Australia and internationally that engaging the community in both plan making and development assessment processes results in better planning outcomes. That is why one of the key principles of planFIRST – the biggest reforms to the NSW planning system in more than two decades – is greater community engagement in the planning and development system. -

Statistical Methods for Biosecurity Monitoring and Surveillance Author(S) / Address (Es) David Fox, University of Melbourne
Report Cover Page ACERA Project 0605 Title Statistical Methods for Biosecurity Monitoring and Surveillance Author(s) / Address (es) David Fox, University of Melbourne Material Type and Status (Internal draft, Final Technical or Project report, Manuscript, Manual, Software) Final Report Summary This report investigates the applicability of traditional methods of analysing surveillance data to biosecurity risks, and explores some more recent innovations designed to detect subtle trends and anomalous behaviour in data over space and time. In particular, it examines control charting and syndromic surveillance methods, and explores how useful they are likely to be in dealing with typical biosecurity disease and pest surveillance. If focuses on disease detection, and methods for optimising surveillance networks and robust methods for minimising levels of inspection. This work provides a proof of concept of these approaches. The case studies, while based on real contexts, are intended only to be illustrative. If the tools are considered to be potentially useful, the next stage would involve development of specific applications to trial their utility.
