  • Appendix 3G Further Perspectives on the Financial Benefits of Local Government Amalgamations
    3G-1 Appendix 3G Further Perspectives on the Financial Benefits of Local Government Amalgamations Appendix 3G has five sections which support the section in Chapter 3 on estimates of the financial benefits of local government amalgamations. The first section further examines the KPMG estimates that savings of up to $845 million per annum could be achieved in NSW through local government amalgamations. This first section also includes a critique of the KPMG estimates by Judith McNeill. The second section presents a Darwinian survival perspective to the debate on the preferred sizes of local governments. The third section briefly discusses the self-limiting effect whereby the strength of the argument in favour of local government amalgamations must in some senses diminish with each successfully achieved amalgamation. The fourth section, in Table 3G-3, provides a compilation of extracts from 113 Australian and international literature sources which provide valuable insights on the local government amalgamation debate generally and which appear to provide important lessons for this current study. KPMG's Financial Benefit Estimates Consultants KPMG explored four local government amalgamation options, and establishes estimates of cost savings possible through each of these options, in a 1998 report prepared for the Property Council of NSW. Table 3G-1 below summarises the key findings in this report, where savings estimates are based on 1995-96 data.

Our national parks, harbour, beaches, coastal walks, waterfront promenades, rivers, playgrounds and reserves are integral to the character and life of the city.

  • Executive Summary
    Executive Summary In addition to its statutory obligations for the provision of flood mitigation works and improving water quality, the Upper Parramatta River Catchment Trust has significant programs in place for the protection and regeneration of urban bushland, and for the development of a network of pathways. This report documents the findings of an extensive investigation into the feasibility of the multi-use recreational pathway network within the catchment. Recommendations are made in terms of: Network development and priorities Pathway design and standards Pathway materials and engineering solutions Risk management Protection of environmentally significant areas, in particular species and communities that are protected under the Threatened Species Parramatta River, award-winning Conservation Act (1995). existing pathway west of Charles Street weir The study included extensive consultation with the relevant stakeholders in local government and key State Government departments. Through this process a large number of related initiatives were identified, which support the development of the multi-use pathway network in the catchment. Importantly, given the commitments and interest of the stakeholders consulted, it is very likely that within the short to medium term future there will be an extensive network of linked pathways that extends from Liverpool to Castle Hill and from Homebush Bay to Penrith, interconnected by numerous short and long internal circuits that can be used by a wide range of users groups for many different purposes.
