ALGA NEWSLETTER – 4 December 2009 COAG Meeting, then Copenhagen On Monday ALGA President Cr Geoff Lake will attend the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) in Brisbane. According to reports the Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd, will present to COAG the recommendations of the National Health and Hospitals Reform Commission and heads of government will consider opportunities for reform. COAG is expected to reach final decisions at a further meeting in March 2010. Other issues to be discussed include emergency management and education. Following COAG, Cr Lake will fly to Copenhagen as a member of the Australian Government's official delegation to the Conference of Parties (COP) from December 7-18. ALGA's inclusion there sends a strong signal that local government is committed to play its role in addressing climate change and that the Australian Government sees a role for local government. It also demonstrates the growing partnership between local government and the Australian Government.
Councils honoured by Attorney-General Attorney-General Robert McClelland recognised 14 community-based projects from across the country with the Australian Safer Communities Awards held in Canberra yesterday at Old Parliament House. The Awards recognise projects to increase community safety within the emergency management context. Award categories cover state government emergency agencies, local government, volunteer organisations, NGOs, education institutions and the private sector. The Winners of the Local Government - Collective Award were Mitcham, Unley, Marion, Holdfast Bay, West Torrens and Adelaide councils for the SA Community FloodSafe Program with SA SES as the coordinating agency. The program links State Emergency Service and councils to take flood education and preparedness messages into local flood risk communities. Between March and June 2009, more than 80 community activities have been carried out in the six council areas and during 2010 FloodSafe will expand to cover northern Adelaide metropolitan councils. The Winner of the Local Government - Single Council Award was the City of Greater Geelong for its SafeStart Project (Kylie Fisher and Frank Giggins from the council pictured with the Attorney-General). This project has been specifically designed to reduce the incidence and impact of childhood injuries and improve safety for all children throughout the community. The project is a collaboration between the City of Greater Geelong and the Victorian Department of Human Services, Public Health Branch. An extensive list of all 2009 entries and descriptions of the winning projects can be found at: www.ema.gov.au.
Smart infrastructure in Australia Smart infrastructure can open up restricted routes in cities to significantly improve travel times and quality of life. The chair of the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Infrastructure, Catherine King, said intelligent transport systems, improved communications and smart electricity grids were the "way of the future" as Australia's urban areas responded to increasing population. "Smart infrastructure can improve safety and reduce congestion in our cities," Ms King said. "It can dramatically improve our quality of life and boost productivity."

Page Cor-10
Examples of smart infrastructure included air traffic control global navigation surveillance systems, traffic signalling that adjusted to peak periods, smart electricity grids delivering more efficient energy use and utilising mobile networks for greater work efficiency. The House Standing Committee on Infrastructure will hold a smart infrastructure conference in Canberra when Parliament returns in 2010 which will have implications for governments and business in sectors such as transport, energy, communications and water. The Conference will focus on ways to maximise the potential benefits of embedding smart technology into Australia's infrastructure, including: • • • • •
using smart technology to increase the productivity of existing infrastructure; community uses for smart infrastructure; smart infrastructure's role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions; opportunities for and benefits of new investment in smart infrastructure; and maximising smart infrastructure opportunities through government project selection processes.
Further information regarding the inquiry and the conference will be available from the Committee's website in coming days.
From the President This year's National General Assembly (NGA) of Local Government carried over 100 resolutions relating to the themes of climate change, infrastructure and financing. I would like to report back on follow-up progress regarding the resolutions since the NGA was held in Canberra in June. Firstly, these resolutions were considered by the ALGA Board at a special meeting in July and in most cases the resolutions were referred to the relevant Federal Minister. This approach is a valuable means of providing input to the Australian Government on matters of interest to councils as well as gaining the views of ministers on the issues carried by NGA delegates. Importantly, responses from Ministers assist the ALGA Board in refining ALGA policy positions on behalf of local government nationally. ALGA has written to the following ministers in relation to the motions passed at the NGA: • • • • • • •
Anthony Albanese, Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Local Government and Regional Development Senator Stephen Conroy, Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy Wayne Swan, Treasurer Bill Shorten, Parliamentary Secretary for Disabilities and Children's Services Nicola Roxon, Minister for Health and Ageing Robert McClelland, Attorney General Peter Garrett, Minister for the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts
All of the responses are available for you to access and are linked under the relevant resolutions at http://nga.alga.asn.au/business/resolutions/2009/. For example the Treasurer responded to the NGA request for a review of Fringe Benefits Tax and car benefits, as well as the tax deductibility of local government election expenses, stating that the issues fall within the scope of Australia's Future Tax System Review and he would therefore be guided by the outcomes of that review.

In Senator Conroy's response, he states that ALGA's participation in the Fibre to the Home Stakeholder Reference Group 'has been most valuable' and that he looks forward to 'working with the ALGA and local councils as the roll-out progresses.' Minister Roxon, in the main, concentrates her response on the public health system reforms which the Australian Government is eager to achieve with the states and territories. The Minister notes that the special meeting of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) being convened on 7 December 2009 will explicitly examine health and hospitals reforms, and will be followed by another meeting of COAG in early 2010 in which the support of the states and territories for a comprehensive national reform plan will be sought. The Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government's acknowledges that renewable energy is an essential part of Australia's low emission energy mix and he suggests that the issue be discussed further at the Australian Council of Local Government. The NGA process is important to developing a united voice for local government on policy direction across the 565 Australian councils. It helps the ALGA Board determine which policies to pursue in its representations to the Australian Government. Cr Geoff Lake ALGA President CPRS defeated in Senate It has been a tumultuous week in Federal politics. On Tuesday, Tony Abbott won the leadership of the Liberal party by one vote and on Wednesday, the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) was voted down in the Senate, providing the Government with a double-dissolution trigger. The bill was defeated by 41 to 33 votes. Liberal Senators Sue Boyce and Judith Troeth crossed the floor to vote with the Government and Independent Senators Nick Xenophon, and Family First's Steve Fielding joined the Greens and Opposition in blocking the legislation. An early election possibly in March is tipped by many commentators, including Richard Farmer in 'Crikey', who says climate change could be the major election issue with the economy providing another reason to go early. The Federal Government has put the Opposition on notice that it will reintroduce the revised Emissions Trading Scheme legislation to Parliament in February 2010.
New Premier for NSW Planning Minister Kristina Keneally will become the first female Premier of New South Wales after ousting Nathan Rees in a leadership challenge last night.

The GFC and regional Australia Last week, the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government tabled its report on the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and Regional Australia. Perhaps its most significant conclusion is that 'no amount of government intervention could fully negate the effects of the crisis...'

Over 10 per cent of Australia's local councils provided submissions to the Inquiry, in addition to submissions from ALGA and a number of its member associations. Local government is noted by the Committee as having a key leadership role to play within communities, and as having played an important role in the development of Australia's regions, which it says is best displayed by the direct funding provided to all local governments through the Regional and Local Community Infrastructure Program. The Committee broadly endorses the need for all levels of government to continue investing in regional infrastructure because of the role it plays in the development of Australia's regions. Chapter 4 of the report is focused exclusively on the impact of the GFC and local government. It states that whilst some councils have suffered from the GFC, the effects have not been felt evenly across all local governments, and that the most vulnerable were dependent on housing growth and single industries. Some cautionary comments are made in this chapter about councils investing in Collateral Debt Obligations, with the Committee noting that '...the need to properly handle risk in investing public money is a lesson that should be heeded by councils across the country' (page 66). In its report, the Committee states that the picture that emerges of the GFC in the regions 'is a mixed one and serves to highlight the challenges that regional policy makers face when considering regional development issues generally, and responses to this crisis specifically.' Each of the Committee's 12 recommendations are aimed at strengthening governments' ability to deal with financial crises, and their level of co-ordination, but none directly impact on local government. A number of Committee comments are relevant to local government, including that 'now would be an ideal time to encourage greater co-ordinated planning [by governments] in the tourism sector' (page 22), that 'despite the actions of the Commonwealth Government, local governments were not across the range of strategies being employed to keep redundant workers engaged in their regions (p.47) and that the role of Local Employment Coordinators, which have been working closely with local government 'warrants further examination' (page 57). The Committee's report coincided with the release by Research Australia of a report featured in last week's ALGA News which found that rural Australians are more likely to be negatively impacted by the GFC than those in urban areas.
The economy and immigration Des Storer, a Professor with Monash University's Institute for the Study of Global Movements, recently completed a report on the Implications of the Economic Downturn for Immigration and Social Cohesion . This report considers whether the economic downturn in Australia commencing in 2008 will have the same implications in reducing immigration intakes and increasing social conflicts between new immigrants and existing residents, as occurred in earlier recessions in Australia in the 1980's and 1990's and is currently occurring in other advanced economies. The report suggests a range of information and social cohesion strategies that might be focused on by policy makers and support agencies to meet these new challenges. This project was sponsored by the Scanlon Foundation. Download Electronic Report Here

Women drive economy Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Elizabeth Broderick, said that the Goldman Sachs report released yesterday proved that closing the gap between levels of male and female workplace participation would be a financially astute move for Australia. "This report not only makes it clear that greater participation of women in the Australian workforce would be a lucrative move for our economy, it reinforces the need for us to respond to the aspirations and desires of women around this country to be in paid work in the manner they choose," said Commissioner Broderick. The Australia's Hidden Resource: The Economic Case for Increasing Female Participation report states that closing the gap between male and female employment in Australia will boost Australia's GDP by 11%. The report highlights that while raising participation is vital, bridging the gulf between historic male and female productivity rates has the potential to boost the level of economic activity by over 20%.
Climate change and youth As climate change now forms part of most young people's vernacular, Australia's newest student-led sustainability project, igreen, is proving an effective model in empowering local communities to lead more sustainable lives and providing opportunities for local government to get involved as well. An initiative of the Dusseldorp Skills Forum and Steplight Pty Ltd, igreen works by training groups of students (Year 9, 10 or 11) to conduct home sustainability assessments within their school community. Following a pilot on NSW's Central Coast, igreen will expand to other parts of NSW, Tasmania, Queensland and South Australia in 2010. For more information about igreen, including costs involved, please visit www.igreen.org.au or contact Lesley Tobin (Dusseldorp Skills Forum) Phone: 0409 033 161 Email: [email protected] or Ryan McCathy (Steplight Pty Ltd) Phone: 0412 737 363 Email: [email protected]
Regional data Spotlight on the Pilbara was released in September 2009, the first in a series of community indicator frameworks being developed in partnership between the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the nine Western Australian Regional Development Commissions, and the Western Australian Department of Regional Development and Lands. Released as a web based facility, the Spotlight Project brings together a wealth of statistical information from a wide variety of sources across three broad themes: social, economic and environment. Information is presented at a range of geographical levels, from Development Commission region to Local Government Area (LGA). The Pilbara Spotlight is the first project in Western Australia that provides regional data with 'local knowledge' to aid in better government services planning and delivery, and allows regions to plan for and measure progress towards a sustainable future. This pilot project is regarded as a critical first step in creating a community indicator framework for the entire state. All Spotlights will contain a core suite of shared indicators, together with regionspecific indicators added to reflect the critical issues identified for each region. Work on the core suite of shared indicators and on Spotlights for the Peel and Mid West regions is underway and should be completed in 6 months time, after which additional Spotlights will be developed progressively.

Telecommunication savings for Vic councils The Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) has announced that Telstra will deliver significant cost savings to local government over the next three years through group purchasing of telecommunications services. Cr Bill McArthur, MAV President, said that following a public tender process, MAV Procurement and Telstra had this week signed a contract on behalf of 62 Victorian councils to provide fixed voice, mobile telephony and data services. Telstra 1 touch video conferencing service would also be available. The annual telecommunications spend of the 62 municipalities that expressed interest in accessing the Telstra contract is more than $20 million. Earlier this year the MAV established MAV Procurement, a not-for-profit entity to support Victorian councils' efforts to aggregate purchasing of goods and services in an efficient and cost effective manner. "This is a great example of local government working together to reduce administrative costs through group purchasing of goods and services that can also deliver improvements to councils' service delivery," he said.
Water and sewerage pricing in Tas The review of the pricing structure for water and sewerage services in the state has been welcomed by the President of the Local Government Association of Tasmania, Mayor Barry Easther. "We have long been concerned that the capacity of ratepayers to pay at the accelerated levels, set by the regulator, would place many in the community under financial hardship, but the State Government's reform outcomes required revenue streams that would provide the new water and sewerage corporations with the funds to effect the changes demanded," Mayor Easther said. "We are buoyed by the fact that the State Government has committed to funding the shortfall, which will result from its latest announcement, by providing funding direct to the corporations equivalent to the amount that will be foregone as a result of its pricing announcement. This will at least ensure that the planned upgrades to works and services will have the required funding to support their ongoing provision." "That said, we are extremely disappointed that there was no discussion with local government prior to the announcement and it remains of concern that as the owners of the corporations, councils could be so disregarded," Mayor Easther said. "This reform has come at a significant cost to both State and Local Government, financially and otherwise, and it is extremely frustrating that issues of major significance are not even mentioned to local government prior to implementation."
New UDIA national president Peter Sherrie, Director of Excel Development Group Pty Ltd, has been elected as National President of the Urban Development Institute of Australia.

The business tax break If you own a business, and there are business assets you're thinking of investing in, you can take advantage of the extra tax deduction available through the business tax break. This is also known as the 'investment allowance'. Time is running out though - you need to buy the asset, or at least enter into a contract to buy it, on or before 31 December 2009. The amount of the deduction depends on your annual turnover: If your business has an annual turnover of less than $2 million, you can claim an extra tax deduction of 50% for eligible assets costing $1,000 or more. If your business turns over $2 million or more, you can still claim an extra 10% tax deduction for eligible assets costing $10,000 or more. Regardless of your turnover, you have to use the asset principally in Australia and principally for business, and you need to use it (or install it ready for use) by 31 December 2010. You claim the additional tax deduction in your income tax return for the year you first use or install the asset (as long as you meet all other eligibility criteria). For example, if you decide to buy a new vehicle for your business in December 2009 but it isn't delivered until February 2010, you can still claim the tax break in your 2009-10 income tax return. You can also add together the cost of certain assets to meet the $1,000 or $10,000 thresholds, such as assets that form part of a set (for example, a base station and handsets for a two-way radio) or assets that are identical. Each item needs to be a new, tangible and depreciating asset. Substantial improvements, additions and alterations may also be eligible, but repairs are not. For example, you can claim the business tax break for a new improved engine you buy for a business vehicle but you can't claim for mechanical repairs. Visit the Tax Office website or talk to your tax agent to find out more about how the tax break works and whether it might benefit you. Or you can call the business tax break info line on 1300 337 921.

Murray-Darling Basin Local governments across the Murray-Darling Basin will share funding of more than $14 million under the planning component of the Strengthening Basin Communities program. The Minister for Climate Change and Water, Senator Penny Wong, has announced the 37 successful applicants for round one of the program. Senator Wong said the $200 million Strengthening Basin Communities program was designed to help Basin communities plan and implement water saving measures. Senator Wong acknowledged the contribution of South Australian Senator Nick Xenophon, who proposed the program as part of the passage of the Nation Building and Jobs Plan through the Senate earlier this year.
Productivity commission review The Minister for Trade, Simon Crean, and the Assistant Treasurer, Senator Nick Sherry, have announced a Productivity Commission review into the impact of bilateral and regional trade agreements on trade and on investment barriers. The review will also examine the effects of these bilateral and regional agreements on Australia's trade and economic performance. To register an interest in the study, or for further information, please visit www.pc.gov.au.
Because children matter UnitingCare Australia and the Social Policy Research Centre, University of New South Wales, have released an analysis of the Government's recent policy reforms for children, young people and families. The report, 'Because Children and Families Matter', assesses the key reforms of 2009 related to children, youth and families, including the National Framework for Protecting Australia's Children, the youth compact, initiatives to reduce homelessness and violence against women, and reforms in early childhood development and learning.
Effects of child care The effects of non-parental child care differ according to the quality of the care and the background of the parents, according to new research from The Australian National University. The study, conducted by ANU economists Professor Andrew Leigh and Dr Chikako Yamauchi, used data from the Longitudinal Survey of Australian Children (LSAC), which followed a cohort of children born in 2004 (the study parallels ABC television's Life at 1 and Life at 3 programs). When the LSAC children were aged 2-3 years old, their parents were asked a series of questions about the children's behaviour. These included questions about how the child responded in unfamiliar circumstances, how well the child persisted with tasks, and whether the child had temper tantrums. The researchers found that the relationship between behaviour and child care differs according to parental socioeconomic status and the quality of care. "The negative association between behavioural outcomes and non-parental care is strongest for children of affluent and high-educated parents," said Professor Leigh. "This accords with
Information Bulletin Correspondence & Papers
Page Cor-17
prior research, and may reflect the fact that children in these families have more resources at home, or that there are differences in parenting across socioeconomic groups. We also find some evidence that the negative association between behavioural outcomes and child care use is ameliorated in child care centres with smaller group sizes."
Policies and laws for older Australians In its response to a parliamentary report into older people and the law, Australian Government has stressed the importance of the need for government, at all levels, to ensure their policies and laws adequately meet the needs of older Australians. The House of Representatives Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee report, tabled in September 2007, made 48 recommendations focusing on fraud, financial abuse, substitute decision making, power of attorney and family agreements. The committee pointed out that older people face challenges because many are unaware of their legal rights and options for legal remedy. This can leave them open to exploitation, abuse and neglect. The Committee recommended more uniformity across Australia and emphasised the need for services that were appropriately funded, targeted and delivered. Attorney-General Robert McClelland outlined action which the Government has taken to address the report's recommendations, including: •

Australia's population growth Australia recorded 301,000 births for the year ending 30 June 2009 according to preliminary figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Australia's total fertility rate reached a 30 year high with just under 2 babies per woman, the highest since 1977. A population growth rate of 2.1% was recorded for the year ending 30 June 2009, up from 1.7% recorded last year. This is the highest growth rate in 40 years (2.1% in 1969). As at 30 June 2009, Australia's population had grown to 21,875,000, an increase of 443,000 people over the previous year. Australia's net overseas migration contributed to more than half of this growth at 64% or 285,000 people. Natural increase (the excess of births over deaths) contributed 158,000 (36%). Over the last 12 months, Western Australia continued to record the fastest population growth at 3.0%, followed by Queensland (2.6%), the Northern Territory (2.3%), Victoria (2.1%), New South Wales (1.7%), the Australian Capital Territory (1.6%), South Australia (1.2%) and Tasmania (1.0%). As at 30 June 2009, the population of each State and Territory was: New South Wales 7,100,000; Western Australia 2,237,000; Victoria 5,428,000; Tasmania 502,600; Queensland 4,407,000; Northern Territory 224,800; South Australia 1,623,000; Australian Capital Territory 351,200.

Disability day With the International Day for People with a Disability held across the nation yesterday, Disability Discrimination Commissioner, Graeme Innes, said that people should consider that more than 20% of Australians experience some form of disability. Commissioner Innes said that many everyday activities, which most people would take for granted, present barriers to people with disability. For example: For some of us, trains and buses are crowded, or don't run frequently enough. But people with physical disabilities are only able to board around 25 to 30% of them to begin with. For most of us, checking information on the internet is a task we complete dozens of times a day. But for people who are blind or have low vision, many websites - including some government websites - are either not accessible at all, or not as accessible as they could be. In our broader community, the unemployment rate is currently running at 5.8%. For people with mental illness, for example, it is around 19.5%. For some of us, it can be a little inconvenient to get to our suburban accountant or solicitor if their office is up a flight of stairs above local shops. But, for people with mobility disability, this means that they cannot get there at all. Commissioner Innes said, with the very real likelihood that many of us, and the people we care about, will develop a disability as we grow older (whether it be a mobility, hearing, sight or psychiatric disability), the issues that face people with disability on an everyday basis, and threaten their level of social inclusion, should have a much higher public profile than they currently have.
Paving the way for Golden Gurus Parliamentary Secretary for Social Inclusion Senator Ursula Stephens has launched the Golden Gurus website and invited interested organisations to become involved in the new national Golden Gurus program. The Golden Gurus program will harness the skills and experience of Australians aged 50 years and over. Through Golden Gurus, mature age Australians will be able to meet new people, develop social networks, access free training, and may participate in an Ambassadors program. The new program will commence on 1 January 2010 and will be facilitated by a range of quality organisations across Australia. The Government is seeking expressions of interest from not-for-profit and community organisations that would like to be part of the Golden Gurus program. Organisations interested in becoming part of the national community can refer to the become a Member Organisation section. Expressions of interest are sought by 30 November 2009 for the official start of the program in January 2010. Mature age people who wish to become Golden Gurus are encouraged to join the mailing list to be notified of future announcements about the program.Golden Gurus was an idea presented at the Australia 2020 Summit and forms part of the Government's social inclusion agenda.
Shaping Australia's resilience Resilience thinking is gaining attention in government, industry and academia all over the world. But what does it mean and why is it important?
Information Bulletin Correspondence & Papers
Page Cor-19
Resilience thinking is important because it assists in making better decisions under conditions of uncertainty. And dealing with social, economic and environmental uncertainties is increasingly a major challenge for governments, industry and individuals. Resilience is the ability of complex systems to respond to external shocks and insults without losing their essential functions and identity. Australia21 is holding a multidisciplinary conference with practitioners from a wide range of disciplines to further understand how resilience thinking and its application can assist in responding to domestic and global challenges. ALGA President Cr Geoff Lake will be a guest speaker at the conference. The conference is designed to aid in knowledge transfer on this important issue. To address water shortages, economic instability, climate change, quality education and health services - communities and governments will need to work together in new ways - and these complex interactions will require new skills and attributes. Resilience thinking shifts attention from purely growth and efficiency to needed recovery and flexibility. Learning, recovery and flexibility open eyes to novelty and new worlds of opportunity. This national multidisciplinary conference on 18-19 February 2010 at ANU will bring leading resilience specialists, researchers and policy makers together to determine how a resilience lens can help to build a brighter future in deeply uncertain times. Quote of the week "I accept that at times I have stuffed up. I probably should, I suppose, apologise for all my errors of the past and make a clean breast of it." New Opposition Leader Tony Abbott International news
Swiss voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional ban on minarets on Sunday, barring construction of the iconic mosque towers in a surprise vote that put Switzerland at the forefront of a European backlash against a growing Muslim population. Muslim groups in Switzerland and abroad condemned the vote as biased and anti-Islamic. Business groups said the decision hurt Switzerland's international standing and could damage relations with Muslim nations and wealthy investors who bank, travel and shop there. "The Swiss have failed to give a clear signal for diversity, freedom of religion and human rights," said Omar Al-Rawi, integration representative of the Islamic Denomination in Austria, which said its reaction was "grief and deep disappointment." The referendum by the nationalist Swiss People's Party labeled minarets as symbols of rising Muslim political power that could one day transform Switzerland into an Islamic nation. The initiative was approved 57.5 to 42.5 percent by some 2.67 million voters. Only four of the 26 cantons or states opposed the initiative, granting the double approval that makes it part of the Swiss constitution. Amnesty International said the vote violated freedom of religion and would probably be overturned by the Swiss supreme court or the European Court of Human Rights. The seven-member Cabinet that heads the Swiss government had spoken out strongly against the initiative but the government said it accepted the vote and would impose an immediate ban on minaret construction.

ALGA NEWSLETTER – 11 December 2009 COAG focuses on health, urban planning The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) held its 28th meeting at Parliament House in Brisbane on Monday. The Prime Minister, Premiers, Chief Ministers and the President of ALGA, Cr Geoff Lake, were joined by Treasurers for the meeting. Health and, in particular, hospitals were the focus of the meeting with COAG agreeing that national health reform would be a central priority for 2010. COAG also announced that States and Territories would have capital city strategic plans by 2012 that meet national criteria for transport, housing, urban development and sustainability. State and Territory planning systems would be independently assessed by the COAG Reform Council and from January 2012, the Commonwealth would link future infrastructure funding to States and Territories meeting these criteria. Importantly, the COAG criteria acknowledges the need for coordination across all three levels of government and ALGA is seeking input into the process for supporting the review of capital city strategic planning. On the issue of housing, COAG is keen to keep a focus on affordable housing, generally from a supply side but has flagged that Treasurers, rather than Housing Ministers, would lead the reform agenda. COAG also discussed Natural Disaster Arrangements (including a Disaster Resilience Statement aimed at encouraging individual and community resilience) and Critical Infrastructure Protection. Other issues discussed were the renegotiation of the National Partnership Agreement on Remote Indigenous Housing, a new National Quality Agenda for early childhood education and care, and national transport reform including progress on national regulators.
Truss retains Local Government portfolio The Coalition Shadow Ministry was announced on Tuesday by new Opposition Leader Tony Abbott. Nationals Leader Warren Truss (pictured), will continue in the portfolio of Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. In his announcement, Mr Abbott said a major part of Mr Truss' role would be "working hard to ensure that the Rudd Government is made to deliver on the integrated national land transport network commenced by the Coalition under Auslink." Scott Morrison, who was the Shadow Minister for Housing, Infrastructure and Local Government, has been promoted to Shadow Minister for Immigration and Citizenship. His former portfolios will be elevated to Shadow Cabinet with Warren Truss retaining Local Government, Housing taken by Kevin Andrews and Ian Macfarlane responsible for Infrastructure. The Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Roads and Transport is Don Randall.
Call for a national infrastructure vision The importance of having a national view on infrastructure funding and pricing was a key theme at an Infrastructure Forum hosted by the National Press Club yesterday. Speakers were David Marchant, CEO, Australian Rail Track Corporation; Geoff Thomas, General Manager Logistics, Woolworths; and Lindsay Fox, Founder, LinFox. Mr Marchant underlined the infrastructure challenges that lay ahead in our cities, saying that we must not allow the "present hive of activity to mask the underlying problems" and the inability for governments to fully meet the infrastructure needs of the future. He said unless these issues were addressed "we face being a nation full of bottlenecks and blockages." He said a new paradigm needed to be developed to fund infrastructure in the future and go beyond a fuel price levy which would become an inadequate source of funds as vehicles become greener and alternative fuels take over. He nominated safety and

Page Cor-22
compliance issues as being of importance, in addition to pricing, as determining priorities for investment. During the Q and A session Mr Marchant made the observation that local government does not have access to any funding for roads that is linked to usage. Mr Thomas said a national view on development priorities was needed which encompassed the longterm, cross-state borders and had a mixed mode perspective. He emphasised the importance of having international road and rail transport points with linkages to ports being a crucial issue. He said regulation was best seen as a consistent view of the best use of assets and gave the example of the unwillingness of councils to grant 24hour access to stores as an example of regulation holding back productivity and adding to road congestion but did not explore the impact on community amenity of around the clock operations. We have the potential to do more with rail which is 'undercooked' and coastal shipping. Mr Fox emphasised the importance of distribution points and having deep-water ports to offload goods with ease such as Hastings and Brisbane Port which had the potential to expand, particularly with an inland rail. Vision was the central theme with the focus on "what we need in 50 years time," by taking the world's best practice and putting it in our backyard and Australia has the opportunity to be a leader in south east Asia on the setting of transport standards. There was general agreement that more needs to be done and the Federal Government needs to show leadership if industry and the community is to cope with the growth in population.
From the President A well-known American author, Hal Borland, once said that "year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instil in us." With exactly two weeks until the holiday season formally commences, many Australians are looking forward to the warm days of summer and the promise of relaxing times spent with family and friends. Experience, however, reveals that 'summer down under' can bring risks, some of which can be fatal and can cause considerable grief to local and regional communities. In this column, I would like to highlight what local governments can do, in partnership with others, to help prevent such risks eventuating. Among the risks that summer brings is the increasing threat of bushfire. The sad fact is that drought in Australia is an inherent feature of our dry natural environment. We are all learning to adapt to drought, but as evidenced by the Black Saturday bushfires in my own state earlier this year, we can never adapt to the loss of lives and devastation they cause. Local councils play a critical role, with other levels of government and organisations by helping to promote awareness of the dangers of bushfires, by helping to plan and implement evacuation strategies and by providing or assisting with local community relief centres for those who need emergency shelter and assistance in the face of natural disaster. Emergency mitigation strategies can help reduce the consequences of natural disasters and ALGA will seek greater support for councils in this area in our submission on the Australian Budget for 2010/11. Unfortunately, the vulnerability of consumers in this position has been needlessly exploited through web-based advertising which has given the impression that their products (like bushfire bunkers and septic tanks) are compliant with the appropriate Australian or international standard. In October this year, the Australian Competition and Consumer
Information Bulletin Correspondence & Papers
Page Cor-23
Commission (ACCC) issued a media release in which it urged consumers to check representations about bushfire bunkers because there was no Australian standard for them. Local governments may play an increased role in this area if amendments to the Building Code of Australia and/or Australian standards are to entrench minimum specifications for bushfire bunkers. Ensuring that members of the community confronted by a range of natural hazards can communicate with emergency services is essential. Recent developments at the national level now mean that community members can receive text messages about the risk of bushfire in thei so that they can choose to act early. For those Australians living and working in more remote regions of Australia, mobile phone coverage can be limited. However, greater access to mobile telecommunications, which are essential in emergencies, is made possible through the Australian Government's Satellite Phone Subsidy Scheme. Eligible consumers who can apply for the subsidy include individuals, small businesses, community groups, not-for-profit organisations, Indigenous bodies, emergency service organisations, health organisations and educational institutions. I encourage local councils in these areas to help promote awareness of the Scheme, which is more fully detailed here. Of course, providing for the safe evacuation of all residents in the midst of natural disaster is paramount. ALGA is pleased that one of the issues on the agenda of the Ministerial Conference on Ageing is to examine ways to ensure that residents in aged care facilities and retirement villages can be taken to safety when emergency services needs are stretched and transportation facilities may be limited. We need to remember that older Australians are among the most vulnerable members of our community during the summer months. Recent experience sadly confirms that many older Australians have died alone in their homes. When the unprecedented five-day heat wave swept through Adelaide earlier this year, it claimed 58 lives. According to the South Australian Coroner, Mark Johns, the average age of those who died was 70. When we hear news like this, it lends more importance to the need to identify and implement strategies at the local level to help overcome social isolation. Finally, an issue which is of increasing concern to local councils around the country, and indeed the ALGA Board, is the unacceptable number of deaths caused by drowning, especially in backyard pools. 41 more Australians died in the year to 30 June 2009 than the previous year and that 60 per died in a backyard swimming pool. Of the total number of Australians who drowned in 2008-09, more than 10 per cent were children below the age of four and 31 per cent were Australians aged over 55 years old. It is now becoming clear that there are two key groups that are more likely to be at risk of drowning in Australia - children and Australians aged over 55 years old. Local councils clearly understand these risks. It is why they administer and enforce swimming pool and fencing regulations, promote affordable 'learn-to-swim' classes at community-owned swimming pools and across the country are variously involved in state government reviews of swimming pool laws and regulations. Clearly, more can be done to minimise drowning deaths. This is a statistic where as a community we can realistically aim for a 0 target. No Australian should ever drown in a backyard swimming pool and we must all work together to ensure regulations are adequate and public awareness campaigns are appropriate to eliminate backyard drowning.

Page Cor-24
ALGA is currently liaising with the ACCC about the possibility of introducing stronger labelling standards on the packaging of portable backyard swimming pools to make it explicitly clear to consumers that children can die in these pools and it can take as little as 5cm of water for a young child to drown. Just this week, the South Australian Local Government Association has asked the South Australian Government to review swimming pool safety arrangements to include council inspections of rental and holiday premises to help cover the field and minimise drowning deaths. Summer should be fun for all of us, but experience reminds us that we must be active in minimising the harm it can bring. Local government is playing its part to ensure that these risks are avoided as much as possible. However, we must constantly be on the look out for how we can make further contributions to improving community safety over summer.
Cr Geoff Lake ALGA President
Climate change talks The president of the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA), Cr Geoff Lake, flew to Copenhagen earlier this week at the conclusion of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting to join the official Australian delegation to COP 15. Cr Lake joined the Prime Minister, Climate Change Minister Penny Wong, the South Australian Premier, the Queensland and Victorian Climate Change Ministers and senior federal and state officials as part of Australia's delegation. "We are pleased that the Australian Government has included local government in its delegation to Copenhagen. The 565 councils across Australia have a significant role to play in responding to climate change and it is appropriate that they are represented at these discussions," Cr Lake said. "Councils are at the coal face in dealing with the effects of a warming climate such as responding to rising sea levels and increased natural disasters so is vital that local government has a seat at the table. Local government supports action on climate change and we are keen to play our part in reducing carbon emissions and supporting communities to adapt to the effects of climate change." Cr Lake is also a member of the newly established Coasts and Climate Change Council chaired by Professor Tim Flannery. He will be at Copenhagen from 8-15 December.
Local government active in Copenhagen The Local Government Climate LOUNGE, 7-18 December, will be the base camp for local governments in Copenhagen, when world leaders gather for the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 15) to work towards a strong post-2012 climate agreement. ICLEI has nominated more than 1100 local government representatives for COP 15 - a huge delegation of local representatives are in the Danish capital to make community voices heard at the international level. The LG Lounge is a unique advocacy base for local governments during the conference. National governments and other key stakeholders will

be invited to enable as much interaction as possible between the local and national levels. Local government network will also be reporting continuously during the COP 15.
Wind farms - submissions close next week Wind energy has the potential to deliver a significant proportion of Australia's future electricity needs and contribute to national greenhouse gas abatement objectives. Building community acceptance of this technology is vital to the continued development of renewable energy in Australia. The Environment Protection Heritage Council (EPHC) agreed to work cooperatively with the Local Government and Planning Ministers Council to develop a set of national guidelines for wind farm development. The guidelines will address community concerns about wind farm development such as turbine noise and impacts on landscapes and threatened species, and applies greater national consistency in the way they are examined. The EPHC has released for public feedback draft National Wind Farm Guidelines which cover all phases of wind farm development. The guidelines include technical components covering: shadow flicker; noise, including prediction and post-construction monitoring of noise; impacts on landscapes; impacts on birds and bats; and electromagnetic interference. The Windfarm Working Group is working to achieve a final draft of the Guidelines by March 2010. It is anticipated that EPH Standing Committee will consider the final draft guidelines at its meeting in May 2010. Submissions are due by COB, Wednesday 16 December 2009.
Regional broadband backbone The Federal Government has announced 6,000km of regional fibre broadband backbone links, the first building blocks of the National Broadband Network on mainland Australia. "This priority $250 million investment will directly benefit more than 395,000 people in 100 regional locations and create new jobs across five states and the Northern Territory," said the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy. Senator Conroy signed an agreement with Leighton Holdings owned Nextgen Networks to construct the new broadband backbone infrastructure under the $250 million Regional Backbone Blackspots Program. Nextgen was selected through a competitive tender process. Nextgen will build backbone transmission links and provide more than 100 access points enroute to six priority blackspot locations: • • • • • •
Geraldton, Western Australia Darwin, Northern Territory Emerald and Longreach, Queensland Broken Hill, New South Wales Victor Harbor, South Australia South West Gippsland, Victoria.
These priority locations were chosen following a public consultation process to identify competition and capacity shortfalls.

In addition, assistance will be provided to regional communities to take full advantage of the new infrastructure through $5 million funding for regional NBN coordinators. The NBN coordinators will work closely with Nextgen, local communities, governments and retail service providers to ensure that they are able to make full use of the new infrastructure. More information, maps and a regional broadband backbone factsheet are online.
Extreme heat alerts for SA The South Australian State Emergency Service (SES) now issues Extreme Heat Watch and Extreme Heat Warnings to advise South Australians of unusually hot and prolonged periods of heat. During March 2008 Adelaide set a record of 15 days where the maximum temperature exceeded 35°C. The previous record was only 7 days. Many other parts of the state also experienced an extended period of extreme heat. Since then there have been 2 other unusually hot and prolonged heat events in January and November 2009. The criteria for heatwaves in Adelaide is; "5 consecutive days with maximum temperatures of 35°C or more, or 3 days of 40°C or more". The Bureau of Meteorology works closely with the SES in South Australia to advise them of extended periods of unusually high temperatures.
Regional Development Australia The Australian Government has appointed 93 local leaders to be the voices of WA's regions on Regional Development Australia committees. Federal Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Development, Maxine McKew, and Parliamentary Secretary for Western Australia, Gary Gray, announced the appointments of the committee members, including Chairs and Deputy Chairs, for the nine WA RDA committees. Several have local government experience.
Digital television switchover The Digital Television Switchover Taskforce (the Taskforce) has contacted ALGA this week about two key developments regarding the move to digital television. Firstly, Hills Industries has been selected to work with the Taskforce, and Centrelink, in delivering the Australian Government's Household Assistance Scheme in the Mildura/Sunraysia region. Households in that region will be eligible for the Household Assistance Scheme where one or more residents are in receipt of the maximum rate of the: age Pension; Disability Support Pension; Carer Payment; or the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) Service Pension or the DVA income-support supplement payment. Under the Household Assistance Scheme, eligible households will receive supply, installation and demonstration of a high-definition set-top box, and any necessary antenna and cabling work. Eligible households in the Sunraysia/Mildura TV licence area will receive a letter inviting them to participate in the Household Assistance Scheme in January and the high-definition set-top box will be specifically chosen to ensure that it meets the needs of the elderly and people with a disability. Outcomes from the Sunraysia/Mildura pilot will inform strategies for national switchover. In addition, the Taskforce has advised ALGA that the second phase of the switchover advertising campaign was launched this week. The multiregional (national) advertising campaign includes television, radio, press and an online search component. The first television ad in the series is currently on air and can be viewed on the digital ready website

Business supports councils Small to medium enterprises were more satisfied with their local councils than the State or Federal governments, a recent survey in NSW has found. But governments in general were caned in the News Community Media SME Index Survey, with business owners identifying interest rates, payroll tax and council charges among key issues to be addressed. Local governments recorded the highest level of satisfaction, 14 per cent, compared with 4 per cent for the State Government and 8 per cent for the Federal Government. Local Government and Shires Associations of NSW (LGSA) president Genia McCaffery said the results didn't surprise her. "The LGSA did a survey on satisfaction with levels of government and that's exactly the response we got," she said. "I think local government scored highly because it delivers at a local level. It's who you have most dealings with, and despite what's said often in the media, most people's experience with local government is positive."
A better public service This week, ALGA lodged a submission responding to the recent discussion paper of the Australian Government's Advisory Group on Reform of Australian Government Administration (the Advisory Group) (chaired by Terry Moran, AO) titled Reform of Australian Government Administration: building the world's best public service. The discussion paper provides a comprehensive overview of the Australian Public Service (APS) and raises a number of questions about how it can be improved to deliver on the Prime Minister's aspiration that the APS be the best public service anywhere in the world. ALGA has noted that local government has a keen interest in matters affecting the Australian public sector, both because it is a public sector employer in its own right (employing around 172,000 or around 10 per cent, of Australia's total public sector) and because it is a key stakeholder in the decisions taken by each of the other two levels of government in Australia. ALGA points to its representation on the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) and thirteen other Ministerial Councils which makes it well-positioned to comment on the APS and its role in serving the government of the day. The submission states that overall, ALGA considers the APS a highly professional and dedicated workforce, but agrees that there is a need to review the APS to ensure it remains agile and nimble enough to identify and respond quickly to new and emerging challenges, devise solutions to 'wicked policy problems', and obtain a deeper and more practical understanding of approaches taken by other levels of government, as well as nongovernment stakeholders, to innovation and problem-solving. ALGA notes this should be supported by an ongoing culture of continuous improvement in the public sector at each level of government.
Information Bulletin Correspondence & Papers
Page Cor-28
ALGA suggests three overarching principles to enhance the way in which the APS determines policies and delivers programs in the interests of local and regional communities across Australia, through partnerships with local government. First, local government should be considered and treated as an integral partner in the smooth functioning of the federation and whole-of-government administration, meaning that the APS should seek to interact with local government on the same basis as it does with state and territory level governments; secondly, the APS must have the capacity to collaborate meaningfully with the other levels of government, which cannot occur without active support for APS officers to 'cross-fertilise' skills and experience through movement between the three levels of government; and thirdly, ALGA highlights the need for sufficient training (both on and off the job) of the APS to achieve the Prime Minister's vision. These principles are consistent with the ALGA President's comments on the Advisory Group's review, which appeared in 'ALGA News' on 20 November 2009. Broadband future A major two-day discussion and planning session for the future of Australia's digital economy began yesterday in Sydney with the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and the Minister for Broadband, Communicaiton and the Digital Economy Senator Stephen Conroy among those attending. Over two days, the forum will discuss and debate the new applications and business models that will emerge in an NBN-enabled world. Forum participants and the general public can contribute to the discussion via Twitter (#bbfuture) and assist in planning the next steps via a wiki. Plenary sessions of the forum will be webcast live, with audio streaming of other sessions.
Digital projects in regional communities The Prime Minister yesterday announced the first $26.5 million investment in seven Digital Regions projects that will deliver more connected health, education and emergency services in regional, rural and remote communities across Australia. The Digital Regions Initiative is about making sure that regional, rural and remote communities benefit from broadband and digital technologies and are not left behind. •
Ambulance Mobile Connect in South Australia will provide vehicles with mobile computing terminals connected via a high speed mobile network ($2.3 million).
•
Health e-Towns in the Northern Territory will deliver ICT enabled health, education and training services for 17 remote towns ($7 million).
•
Bushfire Spotting and Response technologies in North East Victoria will use remote cameras, telemetry and video conferencing to enhance fire detection, management and response capability ($500,000).
•
Chronic Disease Management systems in the Hunter New England region in NSW will increase coverage of facility based telehealth services ($5 million).
•
Bushfire prediction technology project In Western Australia will provide communities with bushfire alerts and access to simulation maps ($2.8 million).
•
Connected - Any Student, Any School project in Tasmania will deliver practical, hands on global e-learning programs to schools ($4.9 million).
•
The CDM-Net health project in Barwon, Victoria and Queensland, will assist in developing and managing a chronic disease care plan for patients ($4 million).
The $60 million Digital Regions Initiative co-funds projects in partnership with state, territory and local governments. It was announced in the 2009-10 Budget as part of the Government's response to the Regional Telecommunications Review (RTR), which was chaired by Dr Bill Glasson AO.

Pandemic flu vaccine The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has approved for registration the Australianmade Panvax H1N1 Vaccine Junior enabling children from 6 months to 9 years of age to be protected against the pandemic H1N1 influenza. The registration by the TGA follows rigorous evaluation of clinical trial data by the regulator and review by the expert Australian Drug Evaluation Committee (ADEC). The TGA has stated that children under 10 years of age will require two doses of the vaccine administered at least 28 days apart, in line with the process for children's seasonal flu vaccinations. The vaccine has already been approved for use in older children and adults. Since it became available to the Australian public in September 2009 5.1 million doses have been distributed to immunisation providers, of which 4.2 million doses have gone to GPs.
Parks and open space How important are parks and open space to the wellbeing of children and young people? Research tells us that children and adults alike are becoming increasingly sedentary and indoor-focused, with poorer physical and mental health outcomes as a result. Parks and open space: for the health and wellbeing of children and young people is a new report from Australian Research Alliance for Children & Youth Australian Research Alliance for Children and Youth (ARACY), developed in partnership with The Centre for the Built Environment and Health. The report examines current evidence and points to an integrated approach for optimising use of parks and open space by children and young people in order to enhance health and wellbeing.
Australia's population continues to age Australia's median age (the age at which half the population is older and half is younger) increased by 5.1 years over the past 20 years, from 31.8 years at 30 June 1989 to 36.9 years in 2009 according to preliminary figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Over the past 20 years, the proportion of children aged 0-14 years decreased from 22.2% to 19.2% of the total population. During the same period the proportion of people aged 65 years and over increased from 11.0% to 13.3%, and people aged 15-64 years increased from 66.9% to 67.5% of the total population. However, in the 12 months to June 2009, the number of children aged 0-14 years increased by 58,900 (1.4%). The number of children in the 0-4 age group increased the most (by 48,300 or 3.5%) and the 10-14 age group increased the least (by 2,700 or 0.2%). All states and territories recorded positive growth with Queensland and Western Australia recording the largest percentage increase (both 2.5% or Qld 22,000 people, WA 10,700 people) and Tasmania the lowest (0.5% or 460 people) in the 0-14 year age group. Of all the states and territories, Tasmania recorded the highest median age (39.6 years) and the Northern Territory the lowest (31.2 years) at 30 June 2009. The Australian working age population (aged 15-64 years) increased by 298,500 (2.1%) in the year ending 30 June 2009 with the largest increase in Western Australia (45,600 or 3.1%) and the smallest in Tasmania (2,400 or 0.7%).

New ABC channel launched Prime Minister Kevin Rudd launched the 'new ABC3, the country's first public, advertisementfree, dedicated children's TV channel recently. The ABC says the move will mean it is one of the largest broadcasters of children's content in the world, just behind the BBC. Forty percent of the content initially shown on the new channel will be Australian, before moving to the station's target of 50 percent.
SA top of pile for agribusiness A nationwide survey of the agribusiness sector has rated South Australia as the best performing state in Australia during the September quarter.

New development contribution policy for WA Development contributions towards community infrastructure costs will become more equitable and transparent with the introduction of a new planning framework in Western Australia, according to WA Planning Minister John Day. Mr Day said there was currently no systematic approach to calculating the level of contribution required from developers, which have been requested by local government on an ad hoc basis.The new policy will require councils to develop contribution plans to identify future infrastructure needs and costs, subject to public comment. The policy was first initiated by the WA Local Government Association (WALGA) and the state division of the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) almost three years ago. WALGA president Cr Bill Mitchell said the policy would allow for the provision of community infrastructure in a timely manner and guarantee equitable developer contributions. "The policy ensures that contributions are fair and are only made to meet the need created by new growth," Cr Mitchell said. "This new process will mean that all developers, large and small will contribute to shared infrastructure, and will also demonstrate the significant contributions made by local governments themselves." Cr Mitchell said the drafting of the new policy represented a "good example of collaboration between the spheres of government and industry".

Two South Pacific nations, American Samoa and Kiribati, have been crowned the fattest countries in the world. The latest obesity report released by the World Health Organisation found that 93.5 per cent - more than nine in ten - of American Samoans are overweight or obese. Kiribati came second on the dubious honours list, with 81.5 per cent of inhabitants tipping the scales. In third spot was United States with 66.7 per cent, followed by Germany, with 66.5 per cent, and Egypt with 66 per cent. New Zealand also made an appearance in seventh place, with 62.7 per cent, while the United Kingdom came 10th, with 60 per cent. Explaining the trend in the Pacific, the WHO said islanders were suffering from a drastic change in diet. Traditionally they ate native foods high in complex carbohydrates and low in fat, such as bananas, yams, taro root, coconut and fish. But since the Second World War, inhabitants have increasingly migrated to the US, New Zealand, France and Australia, and introduced those back home to fatty Western foods. In the smaller, less developed countries like Kiribati, which comprises 33 tiny islands clustered around the equator, food imports have fuelled the obesity boom. The Food and Agriculture Organisation, a United Nations agency established to fight world hunger, estimates food imports to these nations increased six-fold between 1964 and 2001.

This exposed inhabitants to extremely cheap fatty food and processed meat, such as Spam and mutton flaps. These countries are not alone in their battle, however. Research has shown the world is facing a "globesity" epidemic, with one in three adults now overweight and one in 10 obese. By 2015, WHO estimates the number of overweight adults will balloon to 2.3 billion, equal to the combined populations of China, Europe and the US.
Wednesday April 28 - Thursday, April 29, 2010 Novotel Brighton Beach, Sydney This national summit will bring together local government risk management professionals from across Australia to discuss key risks facing the nation's councils and showcase case studies of leading local government risk management practices. At a time when Australian councils face an increasingly complex risk environment with limited resources, this event will provide detailed information and advice about best practice systems being implemented by leading local governments to effectively manage legal, financial and other risks confronting their organisations. This summit will feature analysis and case studies involving topics such as: enterprise risk management for local government; incorporating risk management into organisational culture; internal auditing and audit committees; risk management systems; new standards for risk management practices; emergency management; and environmental risk management - including how councils need to address the risks posed by climate change. The inaugural Local Government Risk Management Summit will also provide unprecedented networking opportunities for local government risk management and auditing professionals, enabling them to share information and benchmark their own organisation's practices against the leaders in the field. If you are interested in presenting at the conference: please email a 300-word abstract and any other relevant documentation to the Summit Director, Ben Hutchison, via [email protected].

ALGA NEWSLETTER – 18 December 2009 ALGA News will resume on January 29. A Merry Christmas to all our readers and advertisers.
Climate talks at critical point With the Copenhagen climate talks at a critical point and the world community expecting delivery, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says he is still hopeful that an agreement can be reached despite a general mood of pessimism. ALGA President Cr Geoff Lake (pictured with Climate Change Minister Penny Wong in Copenhagen) said he too was hopeful that a consensus would be brokered between the various interests and views of the world community. "Let's hope we can all take a big step forward towards dealing with a warming planet," Cr Lake said this morning. ALGA is working with the Federal Government on a range issues including water reform, renewable energy targets and climate change adaptation. ALGA's Board has discussed the need for an adaptation fund for infrastructure work in highrisk areas and a capacity-building program. These will be key inclusions in ALGA's Budget submission for 2010-11 which is currently being drafted. Mr Rudd spent yesterday in meetings with delegations from Bangladesh, Ethiopia and the Maldives. "Responsibility for the next 24 hours is to work, work and work," he said. "And I will work as long as is necessary to try and bring about a strong agreement here for Australia and for the world." Earlier in the day Mr Rudd addressed the conference, warning his fellow leaders not to get bogged down in the procedural arguments about which draft text they should be working from. "I fear a triumph of form over substance, I fear a triumph of inaction over action. Let us instead as leaders resolve to decide for the future, not simply to defer the future," he said. Mr Rudd says he hopes China is serious about reaching a deal in Copenhagen, despite yesterday's anonymous comments from a Chinese official saying the country sees no possibility of reaching an operational accord this week. A new finance offer from the United States was welcomed by the delegates, with US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declaring that America would play its part in a $100 billion a year fund by 2020 to help the developing world adapt to global warming. Mr Rudd says it is too early to say how much Australia would contribute to the fund. Ms Clinton also confirmed that President Barack Obama would be attending the talks today. The next scheduled climate change conference due to be held in Mexico late next year could be brought forward to June or July to speed progress towards a legally binding deal.
Aviation White Paper The Minister for Infrastructure, Transport Regional Development and Local Government, Anthony Albanese, released the Aviation White Paper, Flight Path to the Future, on Wednesday. The White Paper sets out the government's policy in relation to aviation issues and will form the framework for its decision-making. It follows on from the Aviation Green Paper released in December 2008. The main elements of relevance to local government in the White Paper are regional air services and airport planning.
Information Bulletin Correspondence & Papers
Page Cor-36
Regional Air Services The White Paper notes that while the major domestic routes continue to grow rapidly air traffic to smaller regional centres is static or even falling. The Government considers that assistance for regional and remote air services and airports can be better targeted at those routes that are unable to sustain commercial operations and will: • •
•
re-focus the Airservices Enroute Charges Scheme onto the more remote routes; consolidate assistance provided by the Remote Air Services Subsidy (RASS) Scheme, the Remote Aerodrome Inspection (RAI) Program, the Remote Aerodrome Safety Program (RASP) and the Remote Aviation Infrastructure Fund (RAIF) into one overarching program; and work with state and local governments, as well as with local communities, to explore opportunities to improve services to remote communities through the RASS Scheme such as the development of potential service hubs.
The Government will consider options in the first half of 2010 with a view to implementation from 2010-11. The White Paper gives no indication of additional funding. The White Paper also commits the Government to ensuring regional airlines' continued access to capital city airports, particularly Sydney where capacity is constrained, by retaining regional airlines' existing access slots and their current pricing arrangements. Airport Infrastructure The White Paper recognises that well-planned and regulated airports, and good planning around airports, are in everyone's interests - airport operators, airlines, fare-paying passengers and local communities and businesses, as well as all levels of government - and commits the Government to: • • • •
Airport Master Plans being required to provide better transparency about future land use at airports, including for non-aeronautical purposes; New Planning Coordination Forums to improve planning coordination between major airports and all levels of government, including the implications of developments for local traffic and public transport; Major airports being required to establish Community Aviation Consultation Groups to give local residents and businesses a better say in airport planning and operations; and Continuing already introduced regulations to ensure that certain categories of development on airports which are likely to be incompatible with airport operations - such as schools and residential developments - are subject to thorough community consultation and assessment.
The Community Aviation Consultation Groups will address planning and development issues and a range of other operational matters, such as aircraft noise, which may affect airports' relations with their neighbours. In recognition of the variety of community and operational contexts of airports operate these will have the flexibility to define the scope and membership of the Community Aviation Consultation Groups, as long as core prescribed conditions are met. The Government will also address the impacts of aircraft noise by establishing a new Aircraft Noise Ombudsman; regulating to stop older, noisier aircraft flying over residential areas; and maintaining curfews at Sydney, Adelaide, Gold Coast and Essendon Airports.

A national civics campaign a step closer A new parliamentary report has recommended sweeping changes to how Australians are provided information before a referendum. The report recommended a national civics education program be developed to improve knowledge of the Constitution. This is in line with ALGA's submission to the Committee which is available on the ALGA website. The Legal and Constitutional Affairs Committee's report, A Time for Change: Yes/No?, found the written material provided to all electors before a referendum is insufficient, and that a greater range of communication is needed to properly inform the public. Currently a Yes/No pamphlet with arguments for and against the proposed constitutional change is sent to each voter. The Committee has made 17 recommendations in this report, with the key recommendation being to establish a Referendum Panel prior to each referendum. The Referendum Panel would be independent of government and would be responsible for developing an overarching communications strategy for the referendum. The Panel would identify what material should be provided so that electors can make an informed vote. The Chair of the Committee, Mark Dreyfus QC MP, says it is important to modernise how electors are informed given new communications technology. In addition to civics campaign, the Committee also recommended that: • • •
The Yes/No Pamphlets be retained but should be sent to every household rather than every elector; Parliamentarians continue to authorise the Yes and No arguments; The Machinery of Referendums Act provisions be consolidated and harmonised with the Commonwealth Electoral Act.
From the President Christmas is a time for family gatherings, holidays and unfortunately the Christmas road toll. As we enter the holiday period for another year we will hear and see through the media the increasing toll of dead on our roads. Most of us will not pay any great attention as the road toll is something which doesn't affect us directly. It is easy to forget that each of the digits in the mounting toll is a person whose life has been snuffed out prematurely. Each digit is a person who has now left behind grieving relatives and friends. From experience we know the chances of one of the digits in the road toll being somebody we love is very low. The chance of winning Lotto is also very low but it does not stop us buying tickets and having whimsical thought about what we might do with the money. It is a sobering to apply the same approach to the road toll and think about what we might do if one of the digits in the road toll represents somebody we love. Roads safety is an issue for everyone in the community. If you are travelling long distances this holiday period, please take extra care to drive patiently, courteously and safely.

Fatigue is major factor in crashes when driving long distances. If you are going to be driving long distances, please ensure you are rested before you leave on your journey and if possible share the driving. Take regular breaks and have a power nap if showing signs of fatigue such as yawning, droopy eyes or temporary losses of concentration. I would like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday period - whether you celebrate Christmas or not - and all the very best for a successful and interesting 2010. Cr Geoff Lake ALGA President
Healthy communities program The Heart Foundation, National Stroke Foundation and the Australian Local Government Association have welcomed the announcement by the Minister for Health and Ageing, Nicola Roxon, to work with local government and health groups to deliver the $72m Healthy Communities program to help combat the rise of chronic disease in areas with high rates of obesity and social disadvantage. The organisations have welcomed the Australian Government's new program, saying that while it will initially involve some 12 local government areas in the pilot stage, it will expand over the coming years to include 92 sites across the country. ALGA President Cr Geoff Lake said local government was well placed to play a leading role in the struggle to combat the rise in chronic disease. "The Australian Government's investment in the Healthy Communities program is an excellent starting point. We're keen to expand on this initiative and see further investment in community infrastructure as well as initiatives such as further investment in the Healthy Spaces and Places program, which encourages all those involved in planning built environments to design more active, health-promoting communities," Cr Lake said.
Proposed changes to food laws Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has invited individuals and organisations with an interest in the regulation of food to provide information and comment on a number of possible changes to the Australia New Zealand Food Standards Code . The changes under consideration include the approval of genetically modified (GM) maize, cotton and corn, erythrosine as a colouring for icing and a national food safety standard for the production and processing of raw milk products. Details of how to make a submission can be found on the FSANZ website. The closing date for submissions is Wednesday 10 February 2010, except for P1007 (raw milk products), which closes on Wednesday 24 February 2010.

The Government has backed the initiative with $8 million in funding, announced by the Prime Minister in June. Since then former Senator and Local Government Minister Margaret Reynolds has agreed to chair the ACELG board, of which ALGA President Cr Geoff Lake is a member, and the Director of the UTS Centre for Local Government, Professor Graham Sansom, has been appointed Director. The ACELG has identified and committed to a wide range of other key deliverables in 2010, including: • • • • •

SA Mayors becoming increasingly vocal Another nine South Australian Civic Leaders have joined their colleagues on the Local Government Associations State Election 2010 campaign website. Forty Mayors, Chairpersons or their proxies are now sending their message to the next State Government that councils want greater collaboration and stronger partnerships with the next State Government. "Each region of this great State has issues that are common to them," LGA President, Mayor Felicity-ann Lewis said. "However, there are many common threads that bind all of our communities together, water, climate change, transport and infrastructure, sport and recreational facilities, the economy and jobs. "Our communities have made it clear that they want governments to work together for the future quality of our neighbourhoods and to keep our families and our kids in our communities. It's a simple message and we are making sure that it is heard. I encourage all South Australians to visit the website and view the messages," Mayor Lewis said. "We are serious and we will be heard."

National Broadband Network update The third Interim report of the Senate Select Committee on the National Broadband Network, tabled in late November 2009, makes for interesting reading. Hansard reveals the extent of the divisions between the Coalition, which established the Committee, and the ALP, which although it forms government in the Lower House, has had to issue a minority report (in which it rejects all but one of majority's 12 recommendations, and was unable to prevent an extension of the Committee's Terms of Reference to continue until the end of April 2010). Some of the concerns expressed by the Coalition Senators in the majority report include that underserviced areas in rural and regional Australia still have no guarantee that they will receive priority attention in the roll-out implementation plan, that the Australian Government should release details of the 90 per cent/10 per cent footprint as early as possible to enable wireless and satellite providers optimal planning capabilities, that the Australian Government's regional backhaul initiative does not go far enough to provide certainty to regional, rural and remote communities, and that the Australian Government should consult more with CSIRO, which is very active in this area. Of note, the majority report observes that '[i]n December 2008, the State of the Regions Report 2008-09, produced by National Economics for ALGA, dedicated an entire chapter to the progress of achieving nationally equitable broadband' (p.31). The Australian Greens have included some 'additional comments' in the report. They indicate that the report 'unfortunately reflects a tome of partisan bitterness and suspicion which reflects poorly on the collaborative and diligent way in which the Committee and its staff undertook the research, field trips and public hearings'.
Death rates in Australia stagnant Death rates in Australia have remained steady over recent years, according to figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The standardised death rate was 6 deaths per 1000 people in 2008 - unchanged since 2005. Twenty years ago, the rate was 9 deaths per 1000 people. There were 143,900 deaths (73,500 men and 70,400 women) registered in 2008. There was a small increase (1.9%) in the number of infant deaths from 2007, but this reflects a higher number of births. The actual infant mortality rate has decreased slightly, from 4.2 deaths per 1,000 births in 2007 to 4.1 in 2008. Infant mortality rates for Indigenous Australians were around twice the rates for all Australians. Further details are available in Deaths, Australia, 2008 (cat. no. 3302.0) available for free download from the ABS website. Regional, state and territory information is also available.

Over 400,000 women available but not looking for work: ABS There were 441,400 women not in the labour force who wanted a job and who were available to take up work but were not looking, according to figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Of these women, 104,700 were not looking due to caring for children. The most common reason for these women was that they preferred to look after their children (55%), followed by cost (14%) and no available childcare (12%). There were 66,100 women who had children 2 years old or younger who were not in the labour force and who wanted work, were available to start but didn't look for work. There were 1.1 million adult Australians who were not in the labour force, who said they wanted to work. Of these, 728,700 were available to start work, although most of these (94%) did not look for work. Further details can be found at www.abs.gov.au under Barriers and Incentives to Labour Force Participation, Australia, Jul 2006 to Jun 2009(cat. no. 6239.0).
Environment attitudes split generations Generation Y is more likely to believe that humans are responsible for global warming but Baby Boomers are most vocal about there not being enough done to create new green jobs, according to additional information released today by Melbourne eco superstore, Neco from its "Dirty Money" research study. The research study published this month draws on survey responses from almost 1800 general consumers and reveals some significant differences in attitudes between Generation Y and Baby Boomers. The most surprising of these are that while over 68% of baby Boomers were committed to personal change, only 59% of Generation Y felt the same way. The proportion of Generation Y who admitted "I see change is needed but I haven't done much yet" was double that of Baby Boomers. However, it was Baby Boomers that were most critical of failures to create new green jobs with 79% believing that Federal and State Governments were not doing enough while only 59% of Generation Y felt this way. "It seems an odd paradox in the data" said Julian Smith, CEO of Neco, "but perhaps the best clue is that Generation, Y is more likely to blame humankind for Global Warming than the Baby Boomers are. Their responses were generally characterized by higher "indifference" scores when asked about government, government schemes and carbon trading." The research says that 91% of respondents agree or strongly agree that humankind is responsible for Global Warming while only 79% of Baby Boomers believe this to be the case. In addition, while less than 9% of Generation Y disagree or are indifferent about humans causing Global Warming, over 20% of Baby Boomers disagree or are indifferent.

Smoking deaths blow out insurance premiums A major new survey of Australian insurance policies shows tobacco's massive toll in deaths, disability and disease - and on insurance premiums and payouts. The study just released by the Investment and Financial Services Association and KPMG Actuaries, based on over 8 million lives insured and 16,000 claims totalling more than $2b, shows: • • •
Females smokers are almost two and a half times as likely (248%) to be the subject of life insurance claims than non-smoking females; Males who smoke are 75% more likely to be a subject of death claims than non-smoking males; Trauma cover claims are 41% more likely from smoking than non-smoking, and 25% more likely from smoking than non-smoking females.

The study analyses three key functions of local government websites - information delivery, transactional services and e-engagement. One of the findings of the study is a relatively low take-up of transactional council services. For example, only about 15% of local councils reported that over 20% of their resident rates payments are performed on-line. With respect to e-engagement, about a half of local councils participated in the survey reported that econsultations make a moderate or significant impact on the councils' decision making process. However, the overall adoption of e-engagement techniques, including Web2.0, is currently low. The report on the study findings can be ordered from Technology Indicators, [email protected]
Emergency preparedness Red Cross is working to ensure everyone is prepared for an emergency with the recent release of two guides developed in consultation with disability peak bodies, service providers, advocacy groups and consumers.

ABS review of CPI The Australian Bureau of Statistics has announced a major review of its Consumer Price Index (CPI). The last major review was undertaken in 1997. The Consumer Price Index is a main economic indicator, measuring the inflation faced by Australian households for goods and services. As part of the review process, the Australian

Bureau of Statistics will consult widely, providing an opportunity for user involvement in the evolution of the CPI. Organisations and individuals are invited to make written submissions on any aspect of the review. The ABS will also hold public hearings in capital cities early next year, to seek direct feedback from the community on the usefulness of the Australian CPI. These hearings will be announced on www.abs.gov.au and in press.
Councillors reject opportunity to grant themselves payrise A south-west Queensland council has rejected a 3 per cent pay rise because it says it would be inappropriate in the current climate. Earlier this month, the Remuneration Tribunal recommended that mayors and councillors be paid more from next January. But Murweh Mayor Mark O'Brien says his councillors received a pay rise after the local government elections last year and they agreed another increase would not be fair on ratepayers. "The increase on what we were previously being paid was very considerable," he said. It's reasonably tough times in rural Queensland for all sorts of reasons ... we haven't had decent rain since the end of last year and beginning of this year and for councillors to be taking another 3 per cent, we thought [that] was inappropriate."
Sport and Recreation Ministers meet in Melbourne At the recent Ministerial Council for Sport and Recreation meeting in Melbourne, Commonwealth, State and Territory Ministers received a presentation from the Chairman of the Independent Sport Panel Chairman David Crawford on its recent report The Future of Sport in Australia. Ministers set up a working party to respond to the structural recommendations in the report, including the reorganisation of the AIS and State and Territory sports institutes and the proposed National Policy Framework. The Government will formally respond to the recommendations of the Independent Sport Panel in the new year.
Nearly two-thirds of Australian households have broadband As of June 2009, just over five million households had broadband, according to figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). This is an increase of 700,000 households or 16% on the previous year - nearly two-thirds (62%) of all households now have broadband. The Australian Capital Territory continues to have the highest proportion of broadband connections, with nearly three-quarters (74%) of ACT households now connected. Lowest is Tasmania, at just under half (49%).

Cyber safety This week, the Australian Government released further details of its approach to cyber safety following its trial of internet filtering by Enex, and consultation with industry about the most appropriate way to improve safety online. The Government has said that it will: 1. Introduce mandatory ISP-level filtering of Refused Classification (RC) - rated content 2. Establish a grants program to encourage the introduction of optional filtering by Internet Service Providers, to block additional content as requested by households. 3. Expand the cyber-safety outreach program run by the Australian Communications and Media Authority and the Cyber-Safety Online Helpline, to improve education and awareness of online safety.
The Government will also introduce new measures aimed at increasing transparency of the process for material being placed on the RC Content list, which has come under considerable criticism in the past. A discussion paper for this purpose was released on 15 December 2009. The announcement has met with some criticism, including from the Australian Greens, which say the policy is misguided and that they will seek to move amendments in the Senate if the Australian Government does not amend its approach. The Coalition has expressed concern that the policy will be unmanageable and has also called for a full audit of the Enex report. Quote of the week "We still maintain that developed countries have the obligation to provide financial support ... the key condition for the success of the Copenhagen conference."

Australians are piling on sitting rooms, family rooms, studies and extra bedrooms at the fastest rate in the world, with the size of our homes overtaking those in the US as the world's biggest. The typical size of a new Australian home hit 215 square metres in the past financial year, up 10 per cent in a decade, according to Bureau of Statistics data compiled for Commonwealth Securities. US figures show the size of new American homes shrinking from 212 square metres before the financial crisis to 202 square metres in September. New homes in other parts of the world are far smaller, with Denmark the biggest in Europe at 137 square metres and Britain the smallest at 76 square metres.

The figures lends weight to a claim by the deputy governor of the Reserve Bank, Ric Battellino, this month that Australian house prices are high in part because Australian houses are better. Almost half of the $250 billion spent on housing each year was on alterations and additions, with one in every seven new houses "simply replacing existing houses that have been demolished". Mr Battellino said Australians had so many holiday houses that the latest census found 8 per cent more dwellings than households. Sydney houses are by far the nation's biggest with new free-standing houses typically spanning 263 square metres - providing more than 100 square metres of indoor space per person. But the high proportion of townhouses and apartments in Sydney pushes the average dwelling size down to 205 square metres, just below the Australian average and about the same as in the US. "Another way of looking at it is the number of bedrooms," said a Commonwealth Securities economist, Craig James. ''Around 20 years ago only one in every six homes had four or more bedrooms. By 2006 it was one in every 3.5 homes. "While the fast pace of population growth points to the need for more and more homes, we are living in the biggest homes in the world. The simple fact is they could be better utilised." Mr James is encouraged by a slight increase in the number of Australians living in each home. The average household size has crept up from 2.52 to 2.56 people in 2007-08. "It may not seem remarkable but it appears to be the first increase in at least a century, and perhaps the first since European settlement. "It makes sense. Population is rising, as is the cost of housing and the cost of moving house, so we are making greater use of what we've got. Children are staying at home longer and more people are opting for shared accommodation. The key question is whether it's permanent or temporary. If sustained, it will save us building 166,000 homes
An Australian Government Initiative The Australian Government invites expressions of interest from incorporated, not-for-profit community groups and local government associations/agencies for crime prevention projects. The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 establishes a comprehensive scheme to trace, restrain and confiscate the proceeds of crime against Commonwealth law, and also enables confiscated funds to be given back to the community to help prevent and reduce the harmful effects of crime.

Local Government Risk Management Summit Wednesday April 28 - Thursday, April 29, 2010 Novotel Brighton Beach, Sydney This national summit will bring together local government risk management professionals from across Australia to discuss key risks facing the nation's councils and showcase case studies of leading local government risk management practices. At a time when Australian councils face an increasingly complex risk environment with limited resources, this event will provide detailed information and advice about best practice systems being implemented by leading local governments to effectively manage legal, financial and other risks confronting their organisations. This summit will feature analysis and case studies involving topics such as: enterprise risk management for local government; incorporating risk management into organisational culture; internal auditing and audit committees; risk management systems; new standards for risk management practices; emergency management; and environmental risk management - including how councils need to address the risks posed by climate change. The inaugural Local Government Risk Management Summit will also provide unprecedented networking opportunities for local government risk management and auditing professionals, enabling them to share information and benchmark their own organisation's practices against the leaders in the field.

FROM THE PRESIDENT: CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM UPDATE As you may be aware, the Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) is currently working to achieve the inclusion of local government in the Australian Constitution. Over the course of the last 12 months, we have been progressing the outcomes of the December 2008 Constitutional Convention held in Melbourne which saw more than 500 mayors and councillors from across the country reach consensus on the preferred way forward on constitutional reform. The Convention concluded that a referendum to include local government in the Constitution is the best way to ensure the future stability of local communities across Australia. It's important to understand that the key objective of our efforts at this stage is to persuade the Australian Government, the Opposition and minor parties that such a referendum should be held. We have some momentum to build on with the Prime Minister continuing to reiterate his election commitment from the 2007 election that he supports a referendum being submitted to the public on this matter. A recent High Court decision (the Pape case) has also put the need for constitutional change into sharper focus. The case raises serious doubt over whether the Federal Government currently has the power to fund local government directly through programs such as the Roads to Recovery Program and the Community Infrastructure Program. Constitutional reform will remove this uncertainty and protect these vital local government funding sources. That's why ALGA has been consulting over the past few months with members of the Government and Opposition on a bipartisan basis. We hope that this dialogue will result in a referendum question addressing the issue being progressed during the next parliamentary term. Consistent with the position reached by delegates at the Convention, it is important to stress that any referendum question would not seek to undermine the powers of state governments and would not impede their ability to regulate or reform local government. As we make progress in our efforts at the political level during 2010, it will become important to increasingly involve councils in local advocacy for reform and to help us engage the broader public on the issue. This eUpdate is intended to provide a short summary of our progress over the course of this year and to provide you with an idea of upcoming activities. I expect to write to you again in the early part of next year with further information about how you and your council can become involved in helping to progress this issue. If you wish to discuss this further, please contact Monica Telesny on 02 6122 9433 or at [email protected] or phone me on 0411 645 281 or email me at [email protected]. Geoff Lake ALGA President

Overview An initial set up phase for a future referendum campaign took place between July and August this year. During this period, ALGA undertook a significant research program to explore opinions about local government, constitutional reform and the public's perception of local government. We were assisted in this process by a national government relations firm and a market research company. Building on the findings of this research, ALGA has begun an intensive program of bipartisan consultation with stakeholders at the state/territory and federal level on constitutional reform. This has been aimed at sharing some of the key findings of our research and also informing key political decision makers of our preferred path to progress constitutional change. ALGA also appeared before the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs' Inquiry into the machinery of referendums to express our view about the future of referendums in Australia. If you are interested, ALGA's submission can be found here and the Committee's report can be accessed here. The report will be considered by Parliament when it resumes in February 2010. Research ALGA commissioned a suite of research in August 2009 to measure Australian attitudes towards local government and constitutional reform. The research included focus groups in four states and a national survey of 1505 respondents. An integrated report of the research findings has been considered by the ALGA Board and summaries have been provided to political stakeholders through our consultation program. The research clearly illustrates that we have significant work ahead of us to make the case for constitutional change. While a majority of people indicated that they support change to include local government in the Constitution, this support will be susceptible to persuasion. A majority of people also support direct federal funding for local government. Given the challenge of securing constitutional change of any kind in Australia, this level of support is a reasonable base to begin from, however, much will need to be done if it is to be enough to ultimately be successful. SUPPORT FOR RECOGNITION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT Question: Do you believe that the Australian Constitution should recognise and protect the existence of local government?
Information Bulletin Correspondence & Papers
Page Cor-51
SUPPORT FOR DIRECT FUNDING Question: Is it a good idea or a bad idea for the federal government to directly fund local government?
Some of the other key findings from the research include: A significant education gap exists in people's understanding of the process of constitutional reform and this is particularly pronounced among young people; Local government is generally viewed more positively than state governments but less positively than the Federal Government; People living in rural and regional areas are more likely to support local government and constitutional change; and While people are generally supportive of constitutional change, they would prefer to wait until after the current economic downturn is over before such a change is proposed. Next Steps The consultation program with political stakeholders at the Federal and state levels will continue over the next few months. This process will then be followed by an official campaign launch in mid 2010. The establishment of a dedicated website to inform stakeholders and the public on the progress of the campaign will be considered by the ALGA Board in early 2010. We are also currently preparing fact sheets which will be sent to you early next year to provide further background for your consideration. We aim to provide you with ongoing updates over the course of 2010 to let you know what is happening and to let you know how you and your council can get involved.

Media Release 08 December 2009 Interim Report Maintains Voluntary Reform Much of the interim report of the State Government’s Local Government reform process will be welcomed by Councils as it maintains the principle of voluntary change. WA Local Government Association President Cr Bill Mitchell said it was critical that voluntary reform remain central to the process to ensure genuine long term sustainability of Local Government. As one of the Local Government representatives on the committee that produced the report, Cr Mitchell said it was encouraging that the core concepts of WALGA’s Systemic Sustainability Study had been included. “The Association invested considerable time and resources into researching, analysing and consulting in the production of the SSS report which had the overwhelming support of the sector,” Cr Mitchell said. “It is sensible that the key elements of such a volume of work and contribution by Local Government itself is recognised and supported by the State Government’s reform process.” Key recommendations of the interim report are: • • •
to acknowledge that nine Councils have volunteered to merge into three new entities a transition process be created for Councils that wanted to volunteer to further explore amalgamations a collaborative model of regional shared services for Councils for which amalgamation is not appropriate
Cr Mitchell said regional shared services was a key component of the SSS final report released 15 months ago and was the model Local Governments were working towards prior to the announcement of the State Government reform process last February. He said that Local Governments should be aware that while the “transition model” recommended in the interim report requires Councils to volunteer to participate, it does not have an “opt out” clause if found later not to be suitable. The three amalgamations to immediately result from the first year of the State Government process follow the three other amalgamations in recent years – Geraldton and Greenough; Northam Shire and Town; Broomehill and Tambellup. “As long as the reform process remains voluntary it will continue to be supported by WALGA and the majority of the Local Government sector,” Cr Mitchell said.

Media Release 12 January 2010 Minister to Face Councils on Reform The State Government’s plan to reform Local Government is suffering from confusion as a result of the constantly evolving process. WA Local Government Association President Cr Bill Mitchell said Councils across the State were now demanding clarification on the process following the most recent shift in the State Government’s approach. In response to the concerns of WA Local Governments, WALGA will run a State-wide Reform Forum early next month at which Local Government Minister John Castrilli will speak on the latest stage of the process. More than 300 representatives of WA Councils are expected to attend the day forum at Ascot race course on Tuesday, 9 February. Cr Mitchell said many Councils were confused and angry after making their reform submissions last September when advised by the Minister of a new ‘transition process’ which seems to have little or no regard for their submissions. Under that process, nine Councils will amalgamate into three new entities; approximately 65 Councils have been directed to form Regional Transition Groups and to amalgamate by 2013; while others were assigned Regional Collaborative Groups to share resources but not amalgamate. Adding to the confusion, the Minister recently decided to first support, then reject, and then again support an amalgamation proposal by the Shires of Yilgarn and Westonia. Cr Mitchell said Councils had framed their reform submissions in consultation with their communities and consequently expected the Minister would have placed greater credence on the preferred options. “It is important that the Minister appreciates the frustration and confusion in the sector but also that he has an opportunity to outline the process and address concerns,” Cr Mitchell said. “There is debate that if the Minister is assigning Councils to various groupings without an opportunity to explore alternatives then the voluntary nature of the process is compromised. “WALGA has maintained since the State Government’s process commenced almost a year ago that it would only support reform based on voluntary participation as local community support is vital to ensuring long term sustainable change.” The State-wide forum on Tuesday, 9 February at the Ascot race course will have registrations from 10am to start at 10.30am. The Minister has agreed to address the forum at the start of the day.

Presenter: Jesse the Wind Wanderer Date: Monday 23rd November 2009 Time: 4.00-5.30 pm Venue: Seville Grove Library No. Attending: 78 children + 37 adults Comments The ‘Ripper Readers’ end of year party was held at the Seville Grove Library on Monday 23rd November, 2009. Children who had joined the Ripper Readers club for Year One’s were sent an invitation to the party. Siblings and parents were also welcome to attend. The format for the afternoon commenced with a performer to entertain the children. Storyteller Jesse the Wind Wanderer entertained the children with two interactive stories that everyone enjoyed. Participation certificates had been prepared and signed by the Mayor, Mr. Linton Reynolds, who attended the party to present them to the children personally, along with words of encouragement to the parents to use the library to help foster their child’s literacy development. Those who were unable to attend have had their certificates posted to them. Next on the agenda was afternoon tea which was enthusiastically consumed by all! This event and the program in general were very successful in promoting literacy to children in Year One in the City of Armadale. Library staff visited schools commencing in Term 1, 2009 inviting children to join the club, providing them with a ‘goody’ bag to take home including a letter from the Mayor for parents informing them about the program, a bookmark to be taken to the library each visit to be stamped or have a sticker placed on it, a colouring-in sheet and some stickers. Once the child had visited the library five times, a pencil or eraser was given as a ‘half-way mark’ incentive. When the child had been to the library ten times, the reward of a special ‘Ripper Readers’ library bag was presented to the child. A special

sticker was placed on the child’s library card too denoting they are a ‘Ripper Reader’. The party event is very well received and is a positive way of outreaching and making the library a welcoming place for families and children. Most primary schools in the City of Armadale were sent a letter asking permission for a librarian to come and visit Year Ones in the school, read some stories and promote visiting the library and joining the club during the first formal year of learning to read at school. There are 22 primary schools in the City of Armadale and 15 schools participated in the programme. There are about 790 Year One school children in the City of Armadale, and 90 children joined the club. 44 children became members of the library for the first time as Ripper Readers and 46 existing library members joined the club. Several schools did not respond to our invitation to visit their Year 1 classes despite sending a letter, faxing and phoning. Although it would be nice to see more children join the library and the club, it is a very worthwhile programme to offer, with 44 new library members gained and hopefully we have encouraged lifelong library members and avid readers. The program is a great way for our YPS librarians to connect with schools. In 2009 the program was also offered by the library as the first contact and not only via a visit to the school which resulted in several more children joining the club, including two homeschooled students.

History House Museum
(Report prepared by Christen Bell, Museum Curator) Conservation Assessment of Courtyard Collection With the enclosing of the courtyard to create a new internal display area, a conservator was engaged to assist in developing a plan to clean and conserve the objects that have been kept in the courtyard area over the last 15 plus years. This plan includes training staff and volunteers in metal conservation techniques and a treatment plan for the majority of the items. It also recommends more extensive and professional work on significant items including the cart and portable blacksmithing forge. Renovations to Courtyard Area The courtyard area of the museum remains closed to the public as renovation works continue. Un Racconto di due Ragazze Italiane - Opening On the 12th of November the museum had the opening of its new display ‘Un Racconto di due Ragazze Italiane. The event was attended by 24 guests including members of Esdra Casotti’s family who loaned some of the items and images on display. The display has generated interest from members of the community with visitors to the museum mentioning that they came specifically to see this display. 2.3
Birtwistle Local Studies Library
(Report prepared by Lorraine Pearce, Historian/Local Studies Librarian) Local History Practioners’ Seminar at State Library of Western Australia The Historian/Local Studies Librarian and three of the Birtwistle Local Studies Library volunteers attended a seminar aimed at “Bringing History out of Hiding: Going Digital and Sharing your Local History Collection”. A number of guest speakers from various archives and the State Library shared their experience on the importance of digitising historical information. Access to a collection was the foremost reason for digitising owing to:
Information Bulletin – Issue No 01/2010 Information Items from Community Services Directorate • • •
Page C – 5
ability to provide access to collection at any time of the day and night ensure global access allowing viewing of fragile items.
Other benefits include: • •
the storage of large amounts of items reducing the need for physical space providing the ability to transform library collections enabling them to be transformed and presented using more creative methods.
A particularly interesting presentation at the seminar was that of Dr Mark Brogan who discussed “Beyond the Social Web: New Possibilities for Cultural Heritage Collections Online.” His talk was based on the ‘emerging reality’ of the use of technology in cultural heritage collections, stressing the importance of connecting collections with X and Y generations through the use of mobile phones. At the conclusion of the seminar during a panel discussion, the idea of taking a risk in order to present cultural heritage collections digitally was examined; thus enabling the valuable information they contain to be made accessible to the public rather than be housed in buildings where they would never be seen.
Oral History Association (W.A. Branch) W.A. Forum 2009 “Taking Oral History off the Shelf” The above conference was attended by the Historian/Local Studies Librarian and four Birtwistle Local Studies Library volunteers. Similar to the seminar on the previous day the theme dealt with making oral history accessible rather than people’s stories being left on the shelf unheard. A number of the guest speakers shared ways in which they used oral history and story telling which included: • • • • •
for publication of a book telling the story of the Northbridge area enhancing museum collections understanding everyday life behind the scenes intergenerational sharing and preservation of cultural memories.
Kim Kirsner has been involved in the search for HSK Kormoran and HMAS Sydney in the capacity as a cognitive scientist using cognitive reconstruction and mathematical modelling. He shared his belief in the limitations of oral history in regard to research in searching for the vessels. The final presentation was a facilitated panel discussion on the ethical issues of editing oral histories. This was of particular interest to the volunteers who transcribe
Information Bulletin – Issue No 01/2010 Information Items from Community Services Directorate
Page C – 6
oral histories as well as the Historian/Local Studies Librarian. This subject always proves challenging when transcribing and presenting people’s personal stories. Photograph Digitisation Project The digitising of Birtwistle Local Studies Library photographs is continuing to progress. Access copies have been created from the TIFF archive files and have been placed onto CDs. This enables the original hard copies to be archived and remain untouched in appropriate archival conditions in the new archive storage room. As the digital photographs require far less physical storage space in the new local studies library compactus there will be more room for other items. 3.

Information Bulletin City Strategy – Conference Report

Page CS-23
ICTC Conference Geelong 27th – 30th October 2009 The opening presentation on Global Trends Affecting Downtowns was made by Brad Segal from Denver Colorado. Denver with a population of 600,000 also services an additional 1,800,000 in what he termed as their metropolitan trade area. His team had examined 120 sources of information and assessed how they would affect his city, including demographics, immigration trends, lifestyles, healthcare, debt levels, the emergence of India and China, technology, environmental sustainability and climate change. In terms of demographics we need to be aware of the impact of baby boomers, who are ripe to downsize into revamped town centres. Generation X has the most discretionary spend and they are attracted to higher density living, and the Millennials (born 1977 – 2003) who are multi taskers comfortable with all the technology. They are also looking to live in urbanised centres. There are only 5 nations that readily accept immigrants, being Australia, the UK, Canada, the US, and Israel. 25% of Australians were born overseas. The creative Class is of growing importance, especially well educated young women who now dominate university enrolments. Women now days are acting as agents of geopolitical change. Worsening traffic congestion has resulted from road upgrades being more than matched by an increase in traffic. Use of public transport is growing, and some are beginning to live in town centres simply to avoid traffic congestion. Studies in some cities have shown that up to 36 hours are spent each week travelling to and from work. Hospital stays are shortening as governments seek to improve cost management, and while population has increased, there has not been an increase in the number of doctors. Australia spends 8.5 % of its GDP on health, and the US 13.1%, for a much worse result. Some major US stores are now offering health clinics in house. Tourism has become the world’s largest employer, due to a rapidly expanding global middle class, and cultural heritage tourism is growing rapidly. US debt per capita is currently $38,000, while Australia’s is $9,000. 37% of Americans live from one pay check to the next compared with only 7% in China, India, and Mexico. In 1950 in Australia there was one welfare recipient for every 16 workers, but by 2030, there will be one for every 2 workers. By 2050 the three largest economies in the world will be China, the US, and India in that order. Currently one year of construction in Shanghi is providing the equivalent of the entire existing office space in New York. Significantly, the country with the largest population of English speaking residents in 2010 will be ....... India! Significant technological advances are occurring in health and biotechnology, along with rapid improvements in harnessing alternative energy sources, while at the same time nanotechnology is making more and more applications cheaper. Currently about 20% of people are connected to the internet, and the figure will increase to 2.0 billion by 2011. The ability to upload information has meant that bottom up creation of culture, knowledge and innovation is now occurring. ICTC Conference, Geelong - Report by Linton Reynolds

For the first time, the majority of the world’s population now lives in cities (3 billion) and this will increase to 6 billion in cities by 2050. This is leading to a massive increase in motor vehicles, especially in China with the resultant petro carbon usage and pollution. 97% of transportation uses petroleum fuels, while housing accounts for 36% of total energy used, and yet, only a half of the houses that will be required by 2030 currently exist. This later fact gives us an opportunity to make major changes to the way we manufacture housing, if we have the courage and strength to make the right policy settings. In conclusion he said that our population is growing rapidly at either end of the age spectrum, and that it is increasingly connected and competitive. We need to understand that we are leading resource intensive lifestyles that are increasingly expensive and non sustainable. Town centre development is an economic necessity, and while our debt levels are ok compared to the US, we need to keep an eye on it. We can expect increased world economic volatility. To be successful, these town centres should: • Welcome younger, multi cultural populations; • Appeal to young women; • Be capable of keeping the talent pool as they age; • Provide recreation options for women who recreate more than men; • Provide a range of housing price points to provide for a balanced population; • Implement comprehensive transit strategies; • Foster education institutions within the town centre; • Have enhanced walk ability and also provide for active recreation; and • Provide quality tourist infrastructure, especially for the growing international market – for instance high quality, themed signage. To build on the existing form, we should look to adaptive reuse of buildings wherever possible, although less opportunity exists in Armadale due to the lack of large masonry buildings from earlier times. A key is to attract families to town centres, and it is felt the key will be quality education offerings, quality public open space, and interestingly, ‘dog parks’. There will need to be public transport hubs built in new population centres ahead of the population rather than after it is in place if we are to keep people out of their cars. What is unknown is how we can convince governments to provide this public transport ahead of customers so that we can stop them from forming bad transport habits – i.e. in the case of Wungong. The next session that I attended was titled To Run Wild and Free – How to achieve child friendly communities, presented by Gabrielle Morrish from GM Urban Design & Architecture. This was an outstanding session that challenged everything that has evolved in recent years – such as our tendency to wrap children in cotton wool and to shy away from anything that looks like risk or a lawyer’s picnic. Gabrielle began by reminding us that we had enjoyed a childhood that involved imagination and risk, having been allowed to roam wide and free. As a result our play involved Experimentation ICTC Conference, Geelong - Report by Linton Reynolds

and Exploration such as damming creeks; Independence and Experience; Ownership and Interaction with play in neighbourhood streets; and a balance of Inclusion and Make Believe. Today’s child is reared in a vastly different environment, dominated by computers and electronic games, obesity from food combined with a lack of exercise, leading to her view that this generation will not live as long as its parents or grandparents. She asked us why today was different and then talked about the effect that loss of independence and freedom had on the development of children. There was a lack of interaction with others in the neighbourhood, so therefore there was a lack of shared responsibility for raising the children in the neighbourhood. There was a lack of ‘wild play’ in bush settings, and also the traditional play settings that we had enjoyed and that this lack would lead to poor development of social and emotional competence in the children. Less exercise resulted, and there was a diminished development based on experience and cognitive play. One of the major contributors to all of the above factors was the concern about perceived safety. She argues that we are constantly told that the environment around us is far riskier than it actually is! Active play with others is essential if the child is to develop inclusion and acceptance skills; their own self identity; and all of this should occur under passive adult supervision. Instead we are taking too much control of their play space and opportunities, deciding where youth are allowed to be; designing spaces for adults rather than children; and worst of all, taking them to school by car. For children to develop they need to stop being dominated by adult fears. Morrish said that children need opportunities for creative play in environments that allow them to link to nature, and in a street environment that gives them knowledge of their neighbours. Generally speaking she felt that teenagers are not valued by us as future adults, yet that is what they are. They need to be accepted and seen as welcome inclusions in our public spaces. Currently they are not viewed in this way, and are being made more and more car dependent by parents who are distrustful of all around them. In terms of a draft framework that we might adopt, she argued for us to make available a range of child friendly services and activities, both passive and active in nature, in an environment where they are accorded freedom of movement. So how should we fix the current situation? • Begin by valuing families and children; • Provide access to affordable services; • Flexible workplaces with crèche facilities; • Safe environments; • Reduced distance to shops / playing fields / bus stops (most children will walk for 3 – 4 minutes when small, and 7-8 minutes when they are teenagers. • Designing ‘walk ability’ into suburbs is critical, including many alternative routes; • Provide a public edge to all open spaces; • Acknowledge that children don’t read signs but instead use small landmarks, such as objects or marks on footpaths; • Design intersections for kids, - roundabouts are not friendly for small children; ICTC Conference, Geelong - Report by Linton Reynolds

Width of footpaths, and footpaths on both sides of busy roads are important; Removing fences from around schools and especially their open space; Provide older people with places to “sit” near where children play; Convince shops that they should encourage kids – they have more disposable income than us and won’t be kids forever, but will remember the way that they were treated; Don’t sanitise all of our public open spaces, and parks – leave some wild spaces; Provide small pockets of play areas – not to be confused necessarily with playground equipment; and Link these spaces, by not putting everything in larger parks.
Overall, this session, because it is so contrary to much of what happens now, was the most confronting of the sessions that I attended, but one that was difficult to argue with given that it was encouraging us to provide similar life experiences for children today as we had enjoyed. I have to say that it resonated with me very strongly. Jennifer Michelmore is the Community development Manager for The Hornery Institute, and she then spoke on the topic Decay to Destination. Her talk was based on the experience of working with Newcastle NSW which has reinvented itself over the last 10 – 15years. She began by saying that great cities leverage their assets, becoming a destination by careful consideration of who their current and future users are, and by developing their cultural landscape. There were a number of golden rules in her view: • There was a need for long term commitment; • It needed to be plan led; • It needed to involve a very clearly articulated vision; • The governance framework needed to include both the public and private partners; • The aim was to reintroduce people to the place; • All places needed to have a point of difference; • A quality public realm was essential; • It needed to be very accessible; and • It needed to establish a “Place Brand”. Major industrial changes and the earthquake had caused Newcastle to take stock of itself in order to determine what their new role would be. At Newcastle they began with an audit of their assets, and they then looked at connections between them. They had a very clear understanding of the needs of the various generational groupings – the Baby boomers, the X generation and the Millenniums. A 2 day workshop built on their understanding that there was a growing appetite for inner city living, particularly in smaller city centres, or satellite city centres such as our own. They noted that the new residents wanted more than just an apartment. There needs to be a leader, and in the case of Newcastle it was the major commercial land owner who took a holistic approach to the task, focusing on a establishing a niche product or environment.

My next session was Well, We’ve Built it Dad – What Next? Presented by Felix Hemingway who is the Manager of Urban Design for the City of Geelong. He began by observing that Councils spent millions of dollars on streetscapes, but that the engineering lifespan and the retail lifespan of these spaces differ in most cases. Retail refits generally occur every seven or so years as each one brings, on average, a 22% increase in sales. Meanwhile local government traditionally revamps public space every 20 years, bringing with it increased maintenance costs, but no direct financial return to the Council. Furthermore Councils traditionally do a once a week sweep of these spaces, and are slow to repair them, unless for safety reasons. Therefore designs need to be robust enough to survive this lack of care. Ironically these low maintenance levels generally lead to total revamps being necessary and therefore being more expensive in the long term. Public realms must have high quality product that is robust and capable of longevity with appropriate maintenance. The key is timely maintenance and cleanliness. He didn’t believe that special rate schemes worked in the long term but didn’t expand on this point. He also spoke about the difference between needs and wants of the public and traders. The wants included: • Good looking projects • Places that attract people; • One that provides the best vision or setting for THEIR store; and • More parking. The needs included • Good looking places; • A solution to the basic needs before money is spent on artistic or visual highlights; and • People must want to be there. In discussing who should pay for these high quality public spaces he observed that Councils had limited resources, and that most traders will survive regardless. He said that retailers will act as if they are the Council’s clients, but they are not – the general public is our client and their needs should dominate our thinking. The next session that I sat in on was titled Urban Transition: Here today, gone tomorrow, presented by Louise Davies form the Retirement Living Sector. She began with some statistics: The number of 65+ year olds in Australia 1966 1986 1996 2006
8.5% 10.6% 12.1% 13.3 %
While this figure is less for WA (12.1%), 7.2% are living in retirement villages, the second highest percentage in Australia.

Some of the particular characteristics of this growing demographic are: • • • •
They have more free time – lifestyle changes They are downsizing – reduced maintenance Death of spouse – brings with it social isolation; and Unable or unwilling to drive –as a result of declining health
The retirement trends of Baby Boomers to this point are: • • • • • •
a higher level of consumption; focused on living in a neighbourhood environment; they are no longer aging in place; prepared to try alternatives housing types – i.e. higher density/ alternative built form product; they are enjoying their 2nd teenage years; and they are active and independent.
Going forward we need to provide: • • • • • •
Options, that evolve and will continue to evolve; There is an opportunity for higher density suburbs/ neighbourhoods; A place that will not necessarily be their final resting place; Takes into account issues of affordability; Will not suit all; and Will focus on independent and active retirees.
I then attended a series of sessions that resulted in little learning before one by Fran Horsley from Parks Victoria about Melbourne’s Open Space Network. Melbourne’s open space network is based on a study undertaken in the 1850s, and revised in 1929. Many of the parks designated in those studies are only now being delivered, however they have continued with an allocation of 5 acres or 2.5 Ha per 1,000 population. These open spaces are believed to have a major effect on mental health and well being. There can be a cooling effect on the city of up to 5oC with treed parks, and a reduction of 60% of airborne dust. Some urban dwellers that are now living in apartments and working in the city may not touch grass for a week. Any grassed park therefore becomes significant, and equally when approving multi storied, higher density we need to ensure that there are nearby parks. Fran said that inner Melbourne residents had excellent access to parkland, but outer suburbs such as our fellow NGAA members had very poor access. She felt that one of the easiest and best ways to connect people with nature was to provide eating opportunities in these parklands – that is we should place BBQs and tables in parks and people will use them.

It is important to secure land now to provide the future nature based parks. Healthy parks equate to healthy people, especially young children. However she was not speaking about parks that were just fenced and locked up, keeping people out. Crosbie Lorimer spoke about Creating Active and Vibrant Communities. He said that there were four (4) key factors that influenced participation in physical activity: • Time; • Health; • Environment; and • Money. The major issues that will influence future changes in behaviour will be: •
Personal o Fuel costs; o Increases in congestion; o Loss of fitness; and o Urban improvements.
•
Global / Societal o Climate change implications; and o General health and wellbeing.
Relatively quick changes can occur, especially in terms of walking and cycling. Between 2001 and 2005 cycling increased in Australia by 8.5%, with a 45% increase in women walking. In 2005 there was an increase of 21% in the number of cyclists coming into the Sydney CBD. We need to consider: • • • • •
Policy – our objectives and the direction to be followed; Place – where are we talking about; People – who is the user, or likely user; Program – the design of the activity; and Promotion – sell the change or program.
We should undertake a street by street audit of pavements: • Is it connected?; • Is it comfortable?; • Is it convenient?; • Is it convivial? The audit should also take into account bins, kerbing, and rest points. •
In his experience “funds, follows friends”, and therefore it was important to set up those friends or partnership groups. In some areas of Melbourne, real estate agents were using a

“Walk Score” to sell housing. We need to contact our local agents and have detailed local maps available showing parks; playground equipment; footpath; and cycle routes. Feeding / Greening / Caring was a session delivered by John Mongard from Brisbane. John lives in the near city suburb of West End where I have stayed on a number of occasions and he appears to be part of a move to change the face of this suburb – in competition with its very high land values, and quite different developer expectations. He spoke of residents being citizens rather than consumers, and the need to create a more ethical public realm, without necessarily explaining what he meant. He did, however, note that the pull of the market is still stronger than civic will to this point. He advocated the need to grow food closer to the kitchen (no mention of meat products) in order to reduce transport’s impact on the world, and noted that people always want more trees, saying that density without trees was unsustainable. He was followed by Tatjana Medvedev who spoke about Medium Density Residential Blocks. She argued that Low density existed when there were fewer than 50 residents per hectare, while High density was described as having over 1,000 residents per hectare. Given those extremes she said that we should consider Medium Density to occur when there was about 200 – 250 residents per hectare. (Using this benchmark, Champion Lakes with lots of 250, 350 and 500m2 per dwelling would not qualify as medium density.) She then engaged in a mind numbing discussion about how medium density could be achieved with fewer levels than current high rise – no notes taken. The next speaker was even more mind numbing; although some of the very colourful outfits he wore, complete with trilby were a highlight of the social events at the conference. His presentation comprised photos of empty lots in his suburban Melbourne world and his indignation that they paid fewer rates than he did for his house. So it might be said that day one ended not with a bang, but with a whimper. Day 2 opened with a presentation by Cathy Parker from Manchester Metropolitan University’s London campus - Institution of Place Management on Making Places Better: An International Perspective. She spoke about the need to overlap the elements of Place Marketing; Place Maintenance; and Place Making. She felt that better places would need to meet the needs of their users both now and in the future while respecting their past history. They need to maintain and develop their uniqueness and sense of identity. The challenge that we face is that places have many users, and many stakeholders. Some will have conflicting needs and wants. The public service providers of these places need to work with both the private sector and the users who are either from the public or voluntary sector. In the UK, Place Management is now practiced in 600 towns, with growth in the discipline being driven by: • Devolution; • Localisation; and ICTC Conference, Geelong - Report by Linton Reynolds

Globalisation.
Key Performance Indicators give an insight into what works and what doesn’t. However, I suspect that much of the above is a result of local government in the UK being more like state governments in Australia, lacking in grass roots connections. Brian Graus delivered a session titled Making Local Centres Work. He said that Sydney is currently aiming to provide 60 – 70% of their new dwellings as infill (a total of 640,000 new homes). His organisation has market tested sites in six ‘river cities’ within Sydney, and in 5 of the 6 there was no economic return. A major issue is the fragmented land ownership. His study showed that ‘knock down and rebuilds’ were only resulting in the construction of larger houses to replace smaller ones, so there was no net increase in population, and in some cases there was a loss. In almost all centres, multi story housing didn’t stack up economically in the current market. Land use planning was not flexible enough; car parking was a major issue; and there was a lack of return on capital invested - that is the poor quality of the public domain was keeping values lower than was needed for a reasonable return on investment. In the US, studies showed that for TODs to work, they required: • Very high quality walk ability; • Density of R50 – R70; • Lower parking requirements; • Detailed precinct planning of infrastructure, and public works that are pre funded by government or Joint Ventures. Where density had doubled, there had been a 20% increase in public transport use. He defined high rise as 6 storeys or more, with development costs in the range of $2,500 m2 and the issue of overshadowing needed to be considered. Medium density in his view was 3 – 6 storeys, with development costs ranging from $1,200 to $2,500m2. Low rise was defined as being 2 – 3 storeys costing from $800 to $1,500 m2. This sort of housing might be described as Terrace or Duplex developments. Developers were only prepared to pay 20% of final build cost for the land. He offered a number of spreadsheets that showed that the highest return is for the lowest density, and he advocated use of this or similar mechanisms for Councils to understand what is economically viable. There needs to be a balance between land values and construction type to get the best results, and he therefore argued that codes need to be more flexible to allow a wider range of dwelling construction types. Ross Barker presented a paper on Temporary Migration to Australia. Permanent migration levels had only led to a marginal population growth over the last 5 years, but temporary migration is growing as skill shortages emerge, and student numbers increase. In September 2009 there were over 400,000 students and 140,000 section 457 workers in Australia. Of the later group WA has 22.6% of them, but only 7.3% of the students [compared to NSW with 36% of students, mainly from India (90,000) and China (76,000)].

Page CS-32
The use of Section 457s had grown from 80,000 in 2006 to 142,000 in 2009, and although applications were trending downwards, this is likely to change again shortly. Of the 457 recipients, 21% were from the UK; 12% from the Philippines; 11% from South Africa; and 8% from India. 3,850 were Registered Nurses; 1,040 were engineers; 1,140 were chefs; 1,210 medical practitioners (other than doctors or RNs), 1,780 were doctors; 750 welders; 820 motor mechanics, 3,800 computer professionals; and 1,930 bus drivers. In WA the breakup was 2,800 in the mining industry; 1,950 in construction; 1,450 in health; 1,300 in manufacturing; and 375 in accommodation and hospitality. Regional towns with Universities get significant numbers of overseas students, and given their crowding into residences and garages he acknowledged that they are unlikely to be counted correctly. This was followed by a presentation on Understanding the Impacts of Demographic Change by Dr Alison Taylor. She advised that regardless of the higher level of migrants coming to Australia, the ageing of our population will continue. This will influence the household structure, labour force participation rates, health and welfare use, etc. Our population grows by 400,000 each year, a level never before seen, with 80% due to migrants.
WA Qld NSW Vic
2001 12.7% 35.0% 18.9% 25.2%
2008 16.2% 26.3% 24.0% 25.2%
Relative State Shares of Migration
So in 2001 WA received 12.7% of 257,000 migrants [32,639], while in 2008 we received 16.2% of 400,000 [64,800]. It is this later figure which is driving the housing market in fringe metropolitan areas of WA. In 2006 WA’s median age was 36, and by 2036 it will increase to 41, with it reaching 42 by 2056. Nationally the 65+ age group is growing by 120,000 p.a. and the 85+ age is group growing by 33,000 p.a. Almost all of this last age group require residential care. In 2006 the largest group was households with children, but by 2031, both single and couples with no children will be larger, as the number of households without children grows as a proportion of the total. Between 2006 and 2031 it is expected that Australia’s population will grow by 8 million (some estimates are higher), with the number of over 65’s increasing by 3 million and those over 85 by 500,000. This increase is unprecedented, and society is not currently catering for it. These age group changes will have massive impacts on the economy, and have major impact on our social make up. For the next session I returned to the theme of Transit Oriented Developments, and heard a talk by Richard Katter on the Queensland experience. Currently in Queensland over 50% of new housing and population growth is being provided by outer metro Greenfield sites (NGAA Members). For TOD’s to work they required: ICTC Conference, Geelong - Report by Linton Reynolds

High quality public transport; Higher densities; High quality urban design.
Joint ventures are the easiest way to get TOD to work in the early stages – a point borne out by Landcorp’s development at Cockburn. A lack of early services allows residents to develop car based behaviours, which quickly become ingrained. Therefore there is a need to have public transport options available ahead of the market – something that all governments know, but none practice. TODs are still analysed on a cost benefit basis, despite the above. He argued, and I agree, that the time has come to stop the rhetoric and invest in public transport early. This session led into a presentation by Ross Holt on Cockburn Central. Ross began by stating that income growth will not match the increased cost of building in the current form. There is a danger of our youth wanting to leave WA for other parts of Australia or overseas, generally those parts more urbanised than here. We need to provide reasons for them to stay, but this will require better integration between housing, commerce, entertainment and work. At Cockburn, the 42 Ha site has been coded at R160, aiming to provide around 1,000 dwellings, with all buildings to be 4 storey. Within a 10km radius (includes our new suburbs of Harrisdale and Piarra Waters), they plan to house and service 200,000 population. This has very definite connotations for the Armadale CBD. The two current park and ride sites have been provided due to PTA pressure, but their ownership is with the WAPC, and in time they will be converted to development sites, removing the park and rides. Currently development is proceeding for a $37M HQ for FESA, and housing above ground floor retail space. The City of Cockburn is providing a library and together with a joint venture partner is planning an office tower. Landcorp is prepared to sit out the market to achieve these outcomes. Kevin Luten from Urban Trans ANZ then spoke on Land Use and Urban Design Strategies for Sustainable Transport. He began by noting that over the last 30 years, Melbourne CBD as a work destination had dropped from 31% to 17% of the Victorian metro area’s workforce. No other particular destination had emerged, and therefore public transport was unable to be used effectively to solve the transport problem. He also reminded us that transport is the major household energy user, and therefore the further we live from work, the less sustainable we are unless public transport is used. In the past governments have sought to solve congestion by building more road, but this has been shown to only encourage further traffic and the original congestion is made worse. In terms of transport planning to adjust to climate change, there is a need to: • Use vehicles with greater fuel efficiency; • Design ones that use less carbon intensive fuels; and • Reduce the demand for travel, and the distances travelled. “In the game of economic competitiveness, less travel is a winner.” He noted that while Washington DC had reintroduced trams, and Melbourne had retained them, each system had poor patronage, and they were thus underutilised assets. There needs to be a critical mass of people living within walking distance of stations or stops, and there also needs to be a mix of destinations serviced by a route.

The best way to improve the walking catchment for any public transport arm is to improve the quality of design of the public realm. When done correctly, 17 TODs in four major US cities had shown a greater than expected reduction in car travel. I sat in on a session by an old work mate – John Di Rosso from the Rockingham-Kwinana Development Office in relation to the Rockingham TOD. He made much use of the new term ‘Primary Centre’ in relation to Rockingham, reminding me of the need for us to ensure that Armadale achieves a similar ranking in the metro order of places. By 2034 Rockingham will have a regional population of 275,000, with 149,000 living within their own boundary. A case study of Taringa in Queensland followed from Daniel Killen. This TOD is using the nearby failed Toowong TOD as an example of what not to do. The maximum height for the built form is 14 storeys, with 70% or 45,000 m2 of the space planned to be commercial (DA’s for 32,000 m2 already lodged), 25% is residential, and 5% retail/church. (This later is a result of a church being the major landholder). To be effective it will require the upgrade and shift of the local railway station. Jane Monk and Rod Duncan from the Department of Planning and Community Development Victoria presented a session on Innovative Techniques for Delivering Major and Complex Projects. They contended that Australian cities were in need of major transformation to improve sustainability; improve prosperity; and for the sake of good public and private health. To do this would require urban transformation that resulted in: • Strong multifunctional activity centres; • Intensification of established areas; and • new models for the new development areas. In their view we should not panic about zonings – rather we need to go out and attract the type of industry that we want to occupy our ‘purple’ areas, and we need to be more entrepreneurial about the ‘yellow’ areas. Bigger projects deserve some special attention and priority, not only at state level, but also at the local level. There is an urgent need for a proactive vision and for the identification of champions for its delivery, which might also include new business models and partnerships. The final result needs to be vision led, ‘joined up’; and place based, with quality integrated pace management needing high quality infrastructure, detailed planning; and robust economic development. An example given was Bendigo which between 2000 and 2008 had moved from 24 to 58 alfresco dining outlets. UNICEF had recognised Bendigo as a “Child Friendly City”. They concluded by saying: A city that is good for children is a good city for everyone. I feel that this is a good note to finish on as the last two sessions added little to the earlier sessions.
