  • National Capital Authority
    NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY Submission to House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage Sustainable Cities 2025 1. INTRODUCTION The National Capital Authority has prepared this submission in response to the inquiry by the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Environment and Heritage into issues and policies related to the development of sustainable cities to the year 2025. The Authority has been guided in its response by the Terms of Reference for the Inquiry provided by the Standing Committee: Terms of Reference • The environmental and social impacts of sprawling urban development; • The major determinants of urban settlement patterns and desirable patterns of development for the growth of Australian cities; • A ‘blueprint’ for ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement, with particular reference to eco-efficiency and equity in the provision of services and infrastructure; • Measures to reduce the environmental, social and economic costs of continuing urban expansion; and • Mechanisms for the Commonwealth to bring about urban development reform and promote ecologically sustainable patterns of settlement. The Authority’s submission provides the relevant background information on the Authority's role in planning and development in the ACT, and how the Authority both addresses and influences sustainability in its role to achieve ‘a National Capital which symbolises Australia’s heritage, values and aspirations, is internationally recognised, and which Australian’s are proud’. It sets out the provisions of the National Capital Plan applicable to sustainability and identifies initiatives undertaken by the Authority to create a more sustainable environment. 2. NATIONAL CAPITAL AUTHORITY The National Capital Planning Authority was established in 1989 as part of the introduction of self-government in the ACT, with a view to securing the Federal Government’s continuing interest in the planning and development of Canberra as Australia’s National Capital.

    Canberra is recognised as one of the world’s most successful examples of planned city development. In sixty years it has grown from a collection of surveyors’ tents to Australia’s largest inland city. Because it has developed so rapidly most of Canberra’s 200,000 citizens were born elsewhere. This book attempts to capture some aspects of life in Canberra — the buildings, the seasons, people at work and play, the countryside — so that residents of the national capital can give an impression of its moods and lifestyle to relatives and friends far away.

  • Dulci Tomes 2008
    Dulci Tomes Newsletter of the Carillon Society of Australia No. 34 June 2008 FROM THE EDITOR Welcome to Dulci Tomes No.34. At our last meeting a one minute silence was observed to honour the memory of our past member and colleague Suzanne. We mourn her passing. It was much too soon, she was much too young and had much yet to do. We also acknowledged the superb job done by our immediate past President Dr. Jill Forrest. Jill, a conscientious and effective President, has left us a wonderful legacy. Two Professional Development segments were part of our April meeting. We appreciated the presentations, one by Rosemary Richards and the other by Timothy Hurd. They are reproduced here, having been transcribed by Bethwyn Joy and then refined by Rosemary & Timothy. Carillonists expressed a wish that they be part of Dulci Tomes and so here they are. The new Chamber Carillon, featured in this edition, is of particular interest. Australian Carillonists have no opportunity to experience different pedal alignments and so we go overseas gaining what experience we can in very small time frames. We are just too far away. An instrument with an adjustable pedal keyboard is long overdue. Turn to the article (pge 7) to learn about the instrument and a symposium being held in Løgomkloster during July/August 2009. My address for correspondence is: 54 Tempe Crescent, Googong. N.S.W. 2620. Australia E-mail: [email protected] Lyn Fuller Editor 2 IN THIS ISSUE Life Membership for Dr. Jill Forrest 3 A New Chamber Carillon 7 A Warm Welcome to Australia 14 Vale Suzanne Magassy 21 Composing from a Non-Playing Perspective 23 Chasing Creativity 29 Stillness and the Night 39 Tower Reports 45 LIFE MEMBERSHIP FOR DR JILL FORREST OUR RETIRING CSA PRESIDENT Assistant University Carillonist June Catchpoole writes: The first and best thing which our newly elected President, Lyn Fuller, did at her first AGM last April 2008, was to honour retiring President Dr Jill Forrest with Life Membership of the CSA, and a pretty posy of flowers.

Japanese tourists are fond of this instrument and two of the world’s most famous carillon- neurs come from Antwerp and are playing now carillon also abroad, one in St. Petersburg and one in Lake Wales, Florida. The carillon is an instrument of the world and thus it feels like the world of the carillon is coming home in our city. The city of Antwerp is greatly honored to host the World Carillon Congress 2014. Our city has a fascinating carillon history, which goes back to the end of the 15th century.
