  • 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.

  • 3. Planning and Legislation
    Capital Metro Authority Capital Metro Russell Extension Project - Preliminary Environmental Assessment 3. Planning and legislation 3.1 Overview The planning approvals process for the Project would comprise a mix of both Territory and Commonwealth requirements as the Project corridor falls under the administrative authority of both the National Capital Authority (NCA) and the ACT Government through the Environment and Planning Directorate (EPD). The authority jurisdictions of the NCA and EPD are discussed in section 3.2 below. This Chapter provides an overview of the applicable planning and approvals process that the Russell Extension Project would be required to follow to gain approval. 3.1.1 Approach to planning approvals for the Russell Extension Project As noted above, the Russell Extension Project would be undertaken as Stage 2 of the proposed Civic to Gungahlin Project (Stage 1). An Environmental Impact Statement for the Stage 1 Civic to Gungahlin Project and is currently (as at September 2015) being determined by EPS. As such, the Russell Extension Project environment and planning approvals are being progressed separately to the Stage 1 planning approvals. This approach has the following key implications to the Russell Extension Project: the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) currently being prepared for the Stage 1 Civic to Gungahlin Project under the ACT Planning & Development Act 2007 (P&D Act) does not address the Russell Extension Project the Stage 1 Gungahlin to Civic Development Application to be submitted to the ACT Government

  • Minutes of Public Meeting
    Minutes of Public Meeting 7 pm Wednesday 3 April 2019 Canberra Southern Cross Club Estimated attendance: Fifty five 1 Welcome: President, Fiona Carrick, welcomed and thanked attendees. MLAs in attendance: Mr Alistair Coe, Leader of the ACT Liberal Party Ms Caroline Le Couteur 2 Minutes of the last meeting held on 6 March 2019 - Not Discussed. 3 Chair Report: Our presenters will explain to us who does what with respect to urban renewal Clarification of misconceptions: the WVCC is not anti-development - we want development to be done well, with the needs of the community at the forefront of planning, including planning for public spaces and community facilities. If we had a plan we could stage development of community facilities A recent media article said that there are people who talk down developments. While we may have a view about some of the developments in Woden - o the WVCC does not talk Woden down o Woden is our home and we want the best outcomes for our community The Woden Experiment – the Town Square is looking great with people stopping and using the nature play and the table tennis table We need active fronts around the square – eg cafes, pubs and book stalls A reminder of the original planning for Woden included the east west community link, what happened to it? The Woden Town Centre Master Plan includes a map of opportunities which includes the east west link. What are the opportunities to re-instate the link and make it better? The zoning provides for 28 storeys around the perimeter of the Town Square which allows 3 hours of sunlight on a quarter of the square in the winter solstice.
