    Section C C.1 Risk Management and Internal Audit

    Section C C.1 Risk Management and Internal Audit Internal Audit The Directorate’s Audit Committee oversees, on behalf of the Director-General, the Directorate’s governance, risk, compliance and internal control environments, and provides assurance as to their effectiveness. The Committee acts independently of management. The EDD Audit Committee Charter was reviewed and agreed (with only minor amendments) in November 2012. There were no changes to the membership of the Audit Committee during the financial year. Annual and forward audit programs are guided by governance, risk and compliance programs and are supported by an Audit Recommendations Implementation Register. The Directorate’s three-year internal audit program was agreed by the Senior Executive Committee and by the Audit Committee in November 2012, with the program including a balance of compliance and performance audits across the three years. A significant matter of interest for the EDD Audit Committee during this reporting year was the implementation of recommendations identified by the Auditor-General during the 2011-12 financial audit, to improve the control framework in place within the Directorate. By the end of the 2012-13 reporting year the majority of recommendations had been addressed and completed. The Audit Committee specifically congratulated the relevant areas of the Directorate on their work in documenting and improving governance and control processes. Four internal audits were completed during the reporting year, with a further three internal audits undertaken but not yet complete at the end of the year. The internal audits completed and presented to the EDD Audit Committee during the 2012-13 reporting year were: • Follow Up Audit – Territory Venues and Events – November 2012 • Review of credit card usage – May 2013 • Review of the payment of invoices – May 2013 • Review of salary acquittal reports – June 2013 The EDD Audit Committee met on six occasions during 2012-13.

  • Ballpark FAQS

    Ballpark FAQS

    Ballpark FAQS How will parking be improved as part of this upgrade? The ACT Government has introduced parking restrictions in the area surrounding the Ballpark along Goyder Street on game days to relieve traffic congestion and to minimise disruption to local residents. Active Canberra has already undertaken a traffic and parking assessment for the sporting precinct, and will work with Roads ACT to make improvements to the current parking arrangements including the formalisation of Kyeema Street. How will noise be addressed? As the Ballpark is in a residential area, the ACT Government understands the importance of keeping noise to acceptable levels, and is looking at how we can ensure disruption to residents in the immediate vicinity is minimised. Although crowd noise is not regulated under the Environment Protection Act 1997 [Section 8 (1) (c)], noise mitigation (i.e. music, PA system) will be a consideration as part of the design. We will be looking at the acoustics of the venue, along with the PA systems to make sure they are installed in the most efficient manner possible to minimise noise spill to near neighbours. In addition, Active Canberra will work with the Canberra Cavalry in developing a Noise and Light Management Plan for the Ballpark. Approval of the plan by the Environment Protection Agency will be sought to ensure it meets all regulatory requirements. Active Canberra will also introduce a curfew, commencing in the 2016/17 season, at the Ballpark that will introduce a restriction on how late games can be played at the venue. The Australian Baseball League (ABL) has also recently introduced new rules for ABL games that assists in reducing the length of games if extra innings are required.

    (Canberra), Unemployment Relief Committee and Other Documents

    The Great Depression in the FCT (Canberra), Unemployment Relief Committee and Other Documents Australian Archives A6270/1 E2/25/268 217 The Great Depression commenced in the Federal Capital Territory shortly after the opening of the Provisional Parliament House on 9th May, 1927. Reference to the threat of mass sackings is found in the report written in the June 1927 issue of the Canberra Community News by a representative of the White City Camp . The writer mentioned the rumour and how hard it was for men to Hump the Matilda in the winter months. By 1929 many men had lost their jobs. Some, particularly single men, left the territory in search of work. The unemployed who stayed had to ask for relief assistance and got behind in the rent. Two mess caterers who went broke at this time were Bill Mitchell of White City Camp and Mrs Stanley of Capitol Hill. On the next page is a letter written by Mrs Stanley in 1929 when she decided that she may save her business by turning it into a private boarding house. This measure failed and by the end of 1930 or early 1931 she was out of business. Bill Mitchell walked out of his business around the same time. Both she and Bill Mitchell provided meals for men who could not pay. Below: 1929 view from City Hill looking towards Capital Hill – On right is Albert Hall and left Westblock. Red Hill dominates the background. Photograph loaned by J Gibbs daughter of AE Gibbs, second Superintendent of Parks & Gardens. 218 219 In Canberra two camps were set up for unemployed men coming into the Territory in search of work -one for single men and the other for married.1 Single men were given a couple of weeks free accommodation and relief in the form of food packages before being moved on out of the territory.
