Ron Hoenig, the Labor member for the State seat of Heffron, has found what may be grounds for a legal challenge to the WestConnex M5 East project. The Federal Auditor General has announced an audit into the federal funding of WestConnex. And Labor MP and Shadow Minister for Infrastructure, Anthony Albanese, has announced that there would be no further money for WestConnex under a Labor Government. When the WestConnex M4 East was approved, it was required to improve, “on balance”, the performance of the road network. But Ron Hoenig has found that when the WestConnex New M5 (the part of WestConnex that ends at Sydney Park) was approved, it contained a stronger requirement: to improve, “on balance, and not adversely [impact] on” the On Wednesday May 25 Leslie Williams, Minister for Early Childhood Education, visited Wunanbiri Preschool to read a book with the children as part of the National Simultaneous performance of the road network.

  • Push to Shut Clover Moore's City Of
    Push to shut Clover Moore’s City of Sydney shared cycleways: No risk assessment of city’s shared paths increases threat of law suit by: JIM O’ROURKE TRANSPORT REPORTER From: The Daily Telegraph November 08, 2014 12:00AM A cyclist narrowly misses an oblivious pedestrian on a section of shared cycle way between Darling Harbour and the CBD. Picture: Richard Dobson Source: News Corp Australia Cyclists and pedestrians compete for room while crossing the Pyrmont Bridge at Darling Harbour in heavy rain. Source: News Limited A PUSH has begun for Clover Moore’s City of Sydney shared cycleways — where pedestrians battle for space with bikes — to be closed down. Lawyers predict the council could be sued by a person injured in a collision between a bike and a walker because a proper risk assessment of the city’s 51km of shared paths is not in place. Pedestrian Council of Australia chairman Harold Scruby said a risk management plan for shared paths, prepared for council in 2009, defines a cyclist as a “rider of a bicycle or a human powered vehicle, with a maximum speed of 15km/h”. But Mr Scruby said a series of studies show that cyclists are averaging speeds of more than 20km/h on paths that were also used by pedestrians. He also pointed out that the national Austroads road safety guidelines state they should only be proclaimed if they are used by fewer than 10 cyclists per hour and the maximum speeds are under 20km/h. Legal advice obtained by the Pedestrian Council, from Slater & Gordon, states: “Local government road authorities may be found to be in breach of duty of care for failing to impose safe speed limits for cyclists on Shared Bicycle Paths”.

  • Business Voting in the City of Sydney
    COUNCIL 3 NOVEMBER 2014 ITEM 3.4. BUSINESS VOTING IN THE CITY OF SYDNEY FILE NO: S051491 MINUTE BY THE LORD MAYOR To Council: On 25 September 2014, the City of Sydney (Elections) Amendment Bill became law. This undemocratic Bill, negotiated by Liberal Councillor Edward Mandla and the Shooters and Fishers Party’s Robert Borsak, was put through Parliament without community consultation and based on a false premise - that businesses were being denied the right to vote in City of Sydney elections. Business owners have always had the right to vote in City of Sydney elections, and I support business owners having this right. I recognise the contribution business, particularly small and medium business, make in our city, providing important services, diversity and employment to our residents, workers and visitors. I also support the right of business people to decide for themselves whether they wish to enrol and vote, while making the process as easy as possible. The changes to the City of Sydney Act will take that right away. Business owners will be automatically enrolled without their consent. I believed that changes were needed to make it easier for businesses to enrol. Earlier this year, Council adopted my Mayoral Minute which set out changes that would improve the enrolment process. Alex Greenwich the Member for Sydney introduced a Bill into Parliament to implement these reforms while ensuring businesses retained the right to make their own decisions about enrolling and voting. Under Alex Greenwich’s Bill, businesses would be able to enrol at any time and their details would be checked and updated before each election.

Recent developments in each city are placed in the context of international audiovisual production dynamics, and are considered in terms of the ways they inter- sect with a range of policy thinking. They are at once part of particular urban revitalisation agendas, industry development planning, city branding and image-making strategies, and new thinking about film policy at national and sub-national levels. The article views studio complexes through four frames: as particular kinds of studio complex development; as “locomotives” driving a variety of related industries; as “stargates” enabling a variety of transformations, including the remediation of contaminated, derelict or outmoded land controlled by public authorities or their agents close to the centre of each city; and as components of the entrepreneurial, internationally oriented city.
