The NSW Government is committed to improving conservation outcomes for our native species. On 25 August 2017, the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 commenced in NSW to enable sustainable land management and development. As part of these reforms, we have invested $240 million over five years to 2020- 21 and $70 million each following year in a new land conservation program delivered by the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust. As part of the land management reforms, we have also commenced the NSW Biodiversity Offset Scheme that requires proponents to consider how they will avoid, minimise and offset the impacts of proposed development on biodiversity. The NSW Government has also invested $100 million over five years through the Saving our Species program to secure our threatened plants and animals in the wild for the next 100 years. Further detail on these reforms and how they are contributing to protecting important native species as well as other actions can be found in the attached submission. The attached submission I look forward to continuing to work with the Commonwealth Government to ensure positive conservation outcomes for Australia's native fauna.

  • Stop TAFE Cuts Campaign Update March 23, 2018
    Stop TAFE Cuts campaign update March 23, 2018 Federation members continue to campaign against the federal and state governments’ failed vocational education policies. The Stop TAFE Cuts campaign has this year held a wide variety of community events and local protests where members have met with students, local government representatives, state MPs and the community to highlight the effect of the NSW Government’s Smart and Skilled policy on TAFE students. Actions undertaken this year include: Hamilton TAFE members and students met with state Opposition Leader Luke Foley on 19 February. They informed him that course fees had increased, course delivery hours have been reduced and teachers and support staff were facing job losses. On 20 February in Taree, retired TAFE teachers met with Shadow Minister for Skills Prue Car and local councillor Dr David Keegan. The retired teachers expressed their concern at the redundancies of head teachers at their local college and on the North Coast. Goulburn and District Unions held a protest on 1 March outside an invitation-only community meeting with Premier Gladys Berejiklian. The Goulburn and District Unions were not invited despite nurse-to-patient ratios and cuts to Goulburn TAFE being raised by local media. A small group rallied at Goulburn TAFE to protest the visit of the Premier and her deputy Premier John Barilaro. Kempsey TAFE TA held a stall at Kempsey community markets 3 March where many local people expressed their gratitude at the important role TAFE education and skills played in their town. TAFE members and officers were invited to a roundtable with federal Shadow Minister for Employment Services, Workforce Participation and the Future of Work Ed Husic and Labor candidate for the seat of Gilmore Fiona Phillips in Nowra on 5 March.

  • Dominic Perrottet Gabrielle Upton MEDIA RELEASE
    Dominic Perrottet Treasurer Gabrielle Upton Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier MEDIA RELEASE Thursday, 17 June 2021 NSW GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES NEW $28 MILLION MISSION TO TACKLE BUSHFIRE THREAT The NSW Government will direct $28 million into research and development and promoting new and emerging industries and technology to better prepare the state for future bushfires. NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the NSW Bushfire Response R&D Mission will receive $7 million per year for the next four years as part of this year’s 2021-22 NSW Budget to be handed down next week. “The 2019-20 bushfires claimed lives, destroyed thousands of homes and cost NSW billions, this investment will go towards reducing the impact of bushfires and responding in the most effective way possible,” Mr Perrottet said. “This focus on new technology to enhance planning, preparation and response will save jobs when a disaster strikes and boost jobs in new industries. "NSW is unfortunately one of the world's bushfire hotspots, so it makes sense that we should package our hard won know-how and take it to the world." Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier Gabrielle Upton said the establishment of R&D Missions will address long-term strategic challenges facing NSW, and was a priority action of the “Turning Ideas into Jobs – Accelerating Research & Development in NSW Action Plan” launched in January 2021 by Premier Gladys Berejiklian. “R&D Missions tackle complex challenges that require the integration and translation of research and technology across government agencies,” Ms Upton said. “This funding will help establish a Bushfire Technology Network, engage NSW small business to develop and commercialise bushfire technologies and ensure that new technologies are tested by frontline NSW bushfire services.” The funding will also help address a number of recommendations from the NSW Bushfire inquiry such as establishing NSW as a major world centre for bush fire research, and technology development and commercialisation.
