  • ENG4111 Preliminary Report
    University of Southern Queensland Faculty of Engineering and Surveying Own Identification of contributing factors for the success of toll roads in Australia under Public Private Partnerships A Dissertation submitted by Mr Luke Diffin In fulfilment of the requirements of Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) October 2015 ABSTRACT In Australia, Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been established as a common method for governments to deliver major road infrastructure projects. Success of PPPs has varied when measured against Government, Community, Market and Industry interests. Some projects have failed financially while still having a positive impact on the community. Other projects have failed to reach delivery stage as a result of community objections. The holistic success of PPP toll roads is ultimately determined by the needs of major project participants being satisfied in an unbiased equilibrium manner. PPP toll roads delivered in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne have had varying degrees of financial success, however there are other vitally important factors to be considered. Tollways directly contribute to travel time savings, vehicle operating cost savings, reduced accidents and vehicle emissions and can make a contribution to the overall economic performance of a city. Therefore these pieces of infrastructure contribute to society as a whole and not just the investors who provide capital for the projects. Even with recent financial failings of PPP toll roads, Governments within Australia are still actively pursuing the PPP model to deliver road infrastructure. Lessons must be learnt from past failures to ensure the successful delivery and operation of future projects. Overall success will be a result of finding a balance between the needs of Government, Private Sector and Society.

    Im WESTERN SYDNEY OFFI CE OF THE VICE-CHANCELLOR AND PRESIDENT Qi' UNIVERSITY Professor Barney Glover AO 10 September 2020 Committee Secreta1y Senate Education and Employment Committees PO Box6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Via email: eec.sen @aph.gov.au Dear Secretary Subject: Submission Western Sydney University welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the inquiry into the Higher Education Support Amendment (Job-Ready Graduates and Supporting Regional and Remote Students) Bill 2020. As a major metropolitan university, serving Australia's fastest growing, and most culturally and socioeconomically diverse region, Western Sydney University remains committed to supporting its community through the current challenging period and beyond. Legislative reform is an impo1tant opportunity to optimise the cenh·al role universities perform in responding to large-scale labour market dislocation, economic disruption and social upheaval. The Commonwealth's Job-ready Graduates Reform Package is, in the University's view, a mechanism designed to support recovery through structural change, funding efficiencies, and related shifts in emphasis. While supportive of its intent, the University notes the package presents challenges to an institution in a setting like Western Sydney. This is particularly so on the issues of 1) student growth, and 2) support for socioeconomically disadvantaged students. As this submission details, Western Sydney is fares poorly, overall, on both counts under the reforms. Other aspects of the package, such as the 'priority' student places for areas of national interest, are well suited supporting large-scale infrashucture, employment and industry attraction initiatives like the Western Sydney City Deal, the coming airport and Aeroh·opolis.

  • The NSW Redistribution 2005-06
    Parliament of Australia Department of Parliamentary Services Parliamentary Library RESEARCH BRIEF Information analysis and advice for the Parliament 1 February 2007, no. 8, 2006–07, ISSN 1832-2883 'Save Country Seats': the NSW redistribution 2005–06 The recently-completed redistribution for the NSW House of Representatives seats was unusually controversial. There was concern in rural areas over the loss of a country seat— which was also a ‘Federation’ seat—and dismay over the apparent pushing–aside of the ‘community of interest’ principle by the Redistribution Committee. The controversy revealed a lack of community understanding of the redistribution process and an apparent reluctance by the Australian Electoral Commission to engage fully with the public. This paper discusses the controversy, analyses the changes to the redistribution that were made as a result the controversy, and poses the question of whether the redistribution arrangements need alteration.

  • Australian Electoral Commission Second
    AUSTRALIAN ELECTORAL COMMISSION SECOND SUBMISSION TO THE JOINT STANDING COMMITTEE ON ELECTORAL MATTERS' INQUIRY INTO THE 2004 FEDERAL ELECTION AND MATTERS RELATED THERETO 30 JUNE 2005 SECOND SUBMISSION TO 2004 FEDERAL ELECTION INQUIRY Introduction This is the second submission by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) to the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters' (JSCEM's) inquiry into the conduct of the 2004 federal election. This submission provides a basic statistical overview of the 2004 federal election. The AEC can provide further, more in depth submissions on request about any particular aspect of the election discussed in the submission. The submission is presented in chronological order, and addresses the following aspects of the election: - The election timetable (page 2); - Statistics for the following phases of the election: - enrolment (page 4); - nominations (page 13); - declaration voting (page 16); - polling places (page 24); - overseas polling (page 31); - voter turnout (page 32); - election complaints (page 34); and - Public awareness and media (covering the whole election period) (page 36). Election timetable Table 1 below details the election timetable for the 2004 federal election, including the legislative1 or other mechanism for each event. Two distinguishing features are worth noting about the 2004 federal election timetable. Firstly, unlike most recent federal elections, the timetable for the 2004 federal election was longer than the minimum 33 days required. 1 The legislative provisions listed in this figure are all contained in the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. 2 Secondly, following amendments to the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 (the Electoral Act) by the Electoral and Referendum Amendment (Enrolment Integrity and Other Measures) Act 2004, the date before which petitions to the Court of Disputed Returns have to be lodged is now 40 days from the date of the return of the last writ for an election.
