Also, during 2017-18 budget deliberations, Council endorsed the ONC Strategy Funding Plan for 2017-18 to 2019-20 (G17.0619.001 2B). The next step to support strategy delivery was to develop an ONC Strategy Implementation Plan. ONC Strategy provides the strategic direction and highlights the trends and issues that are likely to have a significant impact on how the city’s natural assets are managed into the future. The opportunities they present underpin the 3 strategic outcomes and the 13 key priority actions within the strategy. ONC Strategy Implementation Plan has been developed, in consultation with key stakeholders across Council, to guide coordinated organisational implementation of key priority actions and supporting tasks to achieve outcomes and realise benefits of strategic importance to the City. ONC Strategy Implementation Plan outlines: • strategic context, vision, outcomes, benefits, scope • communication strategy/tactics • strategy governance structure, key roles and responsibilities • performance measures, deliverables, monitoring and reporting, risk and issue management • strategy funding plan estimates. It’s intended that ONC Strategy Implementation Plan will be reviewed annually, supported by the ONC Strategy Steering Committee, to remain current and guide strategy implementation. 6 ALIGNMENT TO THE CORPORATE PLAN, CORPORATE STRATEGIES AND OPERATIONAL PLAN . ONC Strategy builds on, complements and supports City initiatives such as the Corporate Plan, City Plan, Economic Development Strategy, Gold Coast Destination Tourism Management Plan, Gold Coast Sport Plan, City Reputation Strategic Plan, Total Water Cycle Management Plan, Solid Waste Strategy 2024, Culture Strategy, Ocean Beaches Strategy and Nature Based Recreation Plan. ONC Strategy Implementation Plan supports effective implementation of ONC Strategy. 7 GOLD COAST 2018 COMMONWEALTH GAMES IMPACT . An opportunity exists to celebrate our natural assets on the world stage and ensure our reputation as a top global destination. 8 FUNDING AND RESOURCING REQUIREMENTS Budget/Funding Considerations The ONC Strategy Funding Plan was endorsed on 19 June 2017 (G17.0619.001 2B) which outlined predicted investment over the period 2017-18 to 2019-20 for delivery of existing services and planned initiatives, and provides stable increases to the Open Space Maintenance and Enhancement Separate Charge (OSMESC). 747th Council Meeting 28 November 2017 ADOPTED REPORT City Planning Committee Meeting 22 November 2017 496 ITEM 6 (Continued) OUR NATURAL CITY STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN CE196/440/36(P1) Annual refinements to the endorsed ONC Funding Plan are proposed to be reviewed by the ONC Strategy Steering Committee for prioritisation, and escalated through supporting Directorate budget processes for Special Budget Committee consideration. The OSMESC, a major funding source of ONC Strategy, is set through the annual preparation of the Special, Separate and Differential Rates & Charges Report and is also considered annually at Special Budget Committee. 9 RISK MANAGEMENT Program management of ONC Strategy, key priority actions and tasks contribute to either controlling or mitigating the following Corporate and Directorate risks: CO000675 A reduction in the extent and quality of the City’s natural asset network, green space and community access opportunities, resulting in a possible decline in city liveability, image and economic potential. CO000672 Critical Species Management – City wide critical species continue to decline resulting in domestic and international reputational damage impacting the economy, environment and City image. CO000446 Inadequate management of medium-high bushfire hazard areas in prioritised Council owned/managed natural areas potentially resulting in loss of human life, property and negative impact on the environment (this could occur even in a non-extreme bushfire event). CO000427 Failure to diversify the economy leading to an over reliance on the construction and tourism industries to generate economic growth and prosperity. CO000497 Failure to maximise the legacy and community development opportunities associated with the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. 10 STATUTORY MATTERS Although the ONC Strategy is non-statutory, it builds on, complements and supports the endorsed Corporate Plan, City Plan, Economic Development Strategy, Gold Coast Destination Tourism Management Plan, Gold Coast Sport Plan, City Reputation Strategic Plan, Total Water Cycle Management Plan, Solid Waste Strategy 2024, Culture Strategy, Ocean Beaches Strategy and Nature Based Recreation Plan. ONC Strategy Implementation Plan supports effective implementation of ONC Strategy. 11 COUNCIL POLICIES . N/A 12 DELEGATIONS .

    Question on Notice No. 2325 Asked on 24 November 2010 DR DOUGLAS asked the Minister for Police, Corrective Services and Emergency Services (MR ROBERTS)— QUESTION: With reference to rail squads in the South Eastern Policing Region— (1) Will the Minister provide (a) the total number of rail squads, (b) their location and (c) the number of Queensland Police officers in each squad? (2) Due to the region’s growth and the southern extension of the Gold Coast railway line will the Minister outline why no rail squad has been formed and based permanently at any one of the Gold Coast rail stations south of Beenleigh? ANSWER: The Queensland Police Service has a dedicated Railway Squad established within the Specialist Services Branch, Operations Support Command. The Railway Squad is supervised by an Inspector of Police and is administratively coordinated from a central location at the Roma Street railway station. The squad has operational teams at Roma Street railway station and four satellite locations (known as outposts) at Beenleigh, Petrie, Manly and Redbank railway stations. There is no specific approved staffing strength at these outposts as they are annexes of the main Roma Street office where all members are officially stationed. The Minister for Transport and I recently announced an increase of 10 additional police officer positions for the Railway Squad. Five of these additional positions were recently allocated, bringing the approved squad strength to 59 sworn members. The remaining five will be allocated in the 2011/12 financial year, which will bring the squad’s strength to 64 officers. The staffing model for the Railway Squad includes five non-operational positions (Officer- in-Charge, Tactician, Intelligence Officers and a Crime Prevention Coordinator) as well as a dedicated Firearms and Explosive Detection Dog Handler.

  • A Micro-Level Indexing Model for the Assessment of Sustainable Urban Ecosystems
    A MICRO-LEVEL INDEXING MODEL FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF SUSTAINABLE URBAN ECOSYSTEMS Didem Dizdaroglu Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (Hons) Master of Landscape Architecture Associate Professor Tan Yigitcanlar Associate Professor Les Dawes Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment Science and Engineering Faculty Queensland University of Technology [January, 2013] Keywords Indexing Model Micro-Level Analysis Sustainability Assessment Sustainable Urban Development Urban Ecosystem Urban Sustainability i Abstract During the last several decades, the quality of natural resources and their services have been exposed to significant degradation from increased urban populations combined with the sprawl of settlements, development of transportation networks and industrial activities (Dorsey, 2003; Pauleit et al., 2005). As a result of this environmental degradation, a sustainable framework for urban development is required to provide the resilience of natural resources and ecosystems. Sustainable urban development refers to the management of cities with adequate infrastructure to support the needs of its population for the present and future generations as well as maintain the sustainability of its ecosystems (UNEP/IETC, 2002; Yigitcanlar, 2010). One of the important strategic approaches for planning sustainable cities is „ecological planning‟. Ecological planning is a multi-dimensional concept that aims to preserve biodiversity richness and ecosystem productivity through the sustainable management of natural resources (Barnes et al., 2005). As stated by Baldwin (1985, p.4), ecological planning is the initiation and operation of activities to direct and control the acquisition, transformation, disruption and disposal of resources in a manner capable of sustaining human activities with a minimum disruption of ecosystem processes.
