Mr Dylan Strong District Council of Orroroo Carrieton Second Street Orroroo SA 5431

Dear Mr Strong,

Onoroo Area School

West Terrace Orroroo SA 5431

[email protected]

I'm writing on behalf of the Orroroo Area School Governing Council to raise a concern regarding the walkway between the Orroroo Pre-school and the OAS, along West Tee.

Whilst we recognise there has been some work completed in recent years to develop a walkway, and appreciate what has occurred thus far, we feel there is a strong need for a proper path from the preschool to the school. We feel the current rubble walkway is not at a standard or safety level we'd hope for an area where small children, parents (often with prams), grandparents, and staff members frequently use to walk to and from both sites (the pre-school is used approximately 4 days/week).

As the pre-school is now considered part of the school grounds, we feel an upgrade to be a necessary development both for aesthetics, and more particularly, for safety. The road, car-parking area, and walkway along the pre-school could be delineated further with the addition of a decent path to allow for safe and frequent use by people of many ages.

I look forward to hearing from you regarding this matter.

District Council of Orroroo Carrieton | 17 Second Street Orroroo SA 5431

Phone 08 8568 1260 | www.orroroo.sa.gov.au

Introduction

Vegetation is an integral part of the Orroroo Carrieton landscape and heritage. The area

is fortunate to enjoy a local environment where trees in both the public and private do-

main constitute a major part of the street scape.

The presence of healthy, mature trees in our street scape are iconic features of our herit-

age. Many of the present day mature trees can be traced as far back as the early days

of settlement, some perhaps even further. Our mature trees are aesthetically pleasing,

part of our culture and are enjoyed by our community. For the most part, they also add

value to land.

Occasionally, existing trees can present risk to buildings and other infrastructure such as

foot paths, roads, power lines, underground cables or pipes. Trees encroaching on infra-

structure such as this can also add pressure on landholders or business owners in in-

creased maintenance or repair costs.

The District Council of Orroroo Carrieton strives to find a balance in retaining our mature

trees and the risks they sometimes pose to safety and to infrastructure. The reality is, that

when the risk becomes too great, trees may need to be cut-back or removed.

Concerns raised regarding gum tree – corner Fourth and Second Street

The gum tree located near the intersection of Fourth Street and Second Street (adjacent

the Orroroo butcher shop), is causing road verge, footpath and kerbing to lift and crack.

Council has had numerous informal concerns raised regarding the safety risk posed by

this damage to pedestrians.

Roots from the tree have also lifted the floodwater grate, and engulfed the drain and

linking pipework. In late 2018 after a short rain event, stormwater flowed across the inter-

section posing risks to passing traffic, as it could not enter the floodwater grate. Council

are advised that roots are also affecting the foundations of nearby buildings.

The height of the tree affects the overhead power lines and deposits substantial amounts

of debris on the roof tops and guttering of neighbouring business premises. The same

debris covers the footpath and adjacent car parking areas. The tree has also dropped

large branches in the past.

Remedial action

Due to its size, the gum tree is considered by many to be iconic and appears to be in

good health. Council acknowledges the risks posed to people and property by the gum

tree. However, rather than initiate the removal of the gum tree to address the concerns

outlined above, Council are now asking for your input.

A short survey has been prepared to assess views within the community on the future of

the gum tree. All feedback will be collated and reported to Council to better inform the

decision making process. Surveys can be anonymous, however contact information is

preferred should Council wish to contact you and discuss your views in more detail.

As you know the Marshall Government has announced that we want to lead South Australia into a sporting golden era through a bold and wide-ranging new plan.

The South Australian Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Plan will change the game of sport in our state - from grassroots through to the elite level. It will do this by investigating and identifying the building blocks we need to strengthen sport participation, offer pathways for those chasing their sporting dreams through to attracting exciting sporting events from across the nation and the world.

This Plan will allow us, as a state, to set our sporting future and show our competitors that South Australia is open for sporting business. I truly believe South Australia can be the number one place for athletes to live, train and compete.

As the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing I want to look at potential upgrades, and improvements to recreational facilities such as trails and parks, community infrastructure like swimming pools, courts and playing fields as well as assets such as State Sports Park and major stadiums including Adelaide Oval and Coopers Stadium.

I also want to dive deeply into technology and the role it can play in sport- with a particular focus on para sports.

A key component of developing the plan will be wide ranging community engagement which focusses on the needs of sport and recreation associations and clubs, local government, private providers and the public.

Community engagement on the State Sport and Recreation Infrastructure Plan will commence in early April 2019 and I will keep you informed of specific details. I look forward to working with you and your community as we consider the future of sport and recreation in South Australia.

Yours sincerely

SOUTH AUSTRALIAN REGIONAL VISITOR

STRATEGY

Dylan Strong

CEO


PO Box 3, Orroroo SA 5431

Dear Mr Strong

Re: The South Australian Regional Visitor Strategy- first report on progress

I am writing to report on progress in the Flinders Ranges and Outback in implementing the South

Australian Regional Visitor Strategy.

Developed through a partnership of t he Regional Tourism Chairs Forum, the RDA network, the Local

Government Association of South Australia, Tourism Industry Council SA and the South Australian

Tourism Commission, the Strategy outlines the shared priorities of South Australia's eleven regions.

Launched by Minister Ridgway in June 2018 the plan covers the period to December 2020.

Local government is a key player in delivering enabling support for regional visitor economies and I

warmly acknowledge Councils' support in developing and now implementing the Strategy.

The Strategy Steering Committee's focus on implementing the actions outlined in the Strategy

includes half-yearly progress reports to all key stakeholders.

Enclosed is the first progress report for the Flinders Ranges and Outback. While it is early days, I

think you will be impressed with how many actions have commenced and the potential for

sign ificant progress to be achieved by the end of 2020.

I also enclose an important summary of the top regional tourism infrastructure priorities compiled

by the Steering Committee based on advice from the eleven regional tourism organisations. I

acknowledge the great co llaboration between RDA Far North, Flinders Ranges Outback South

Australian Tourism and RDA Yorke and Mid North in working with the Steering Committee to shape

the Strategy and these priorities.

The Regiona l Visitor Strategy is available online at https://tourism.sa.gov.au/research-and

statistics/strategies/south-australian-regional-visitor-strategy. I would be happy to send you a hard

copy if you require one.

Thank you to your Council for its involvement in the visitor economy.

Yours sincere ly

Legislation to amend the Residential Parks Act 2007 was recently passed by the South Australian Parliament. The changes are designed to increase protections for residents living in residential parks by offering greater security of tenure for long term residents, requiring a greater level of disclosure from park owners, and increasing transparency of fees and charges. Park owners will also benefit from greater clarity of their obligations which in turn, should support business growth.

To improve the accessibility of information about residential parks and park owners, the amendments require that a register of all residential parks in South Australia be established and made available on the Consumer and Business Services (CBS) website.

In order to assist CBS with the establishment of the register, I would be grateful if you could provide a list of all caravan parks in your local government area, including the number of permanent residents currently known to reside at each park.

The types of parks relevant to this request include caravan parks, dedicated residential parks and lifestyle or community villages. As retirement villages are governed by separate legislation, particulars of these villages arc not needed.

Please email your responses to [email protected] by Friday 26 April 2019.

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Ms Olivia Anemouri, Regulatory Officer on 8204 9719 or via email at [email protected].

Thank you for your suppot1 in this matter and I look fmward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely

Dear Chairperson

Mobile Black Spot Program – Round 5 opened for applications

The Liberal and Nationals Government has opened the competitive assessment process for Round 5 of its Mobile Black Spot Program (the Program) and is calling for applications from Mobile Network Operators and Mobile Network Infrastructure Providers. The District Council of Orroroo Carrieton’s region includes areas classified as non-Major Urban, which are eligible for consideration under the Program.

As you may be aware, the Liberal and Nationals Government has committed $380 million to the Program to invest in telecommunications infrastructure to improve mobile coverage and competition across Australia. The Program is highly successful and is supported by co-contributions from state and local governments, Mobile Network operators (Optus, Telstra and Vodafone), businesses and local communities. Including co-investment, total Program funding to date is more than $760 million.

This is delivering 1,047 base stations across the country. Currently, more than 680 base stations are on air, with all base stations expected to be delivered by 30 June 2020.

On 20 March 2019, I announced that an additional $160 million had been allocated for Rounds 5 and 6 of the Program, with $80 million allocated to Round 5. Round 5 will again target Public Interest Premises, including economic centres, emergency services facilities and educational facilities.

The Round 5 Program Guidelines were published on the Government’s GrantConnect website on 5 April 2019. Applications are due by July 2019. As part of the application process, registered applicants will be provided with the National Mobile Black Spot Database (the Database) which was recently updated during Round 4. This will assist them to identify possible locations, however it is important to note that locations do not need to be registered in the Database to receive funding under the Program.

Past experience has shown that when a local council engages with Mobile Network Operators it increases the likelihood that a base station application will be put forward in its area.

2

I would encourage you to engage with the Mobile Network Operators to identify areas that would benefit from funded base stations.

A key success to this Program has been the funding co-contributions by state governments and third-parties. You may wish to consider whether the District Council of Orroroo Carrieton could offer a financial or in-kind contribution to encourage a proposal, though this is not a mandatory requirement of the Program.

Please contact the Department of Communications and the Arts if you require the appropriate Mobile Network Operator contact details for your area. The point of contact in the Department for further information on Round 5 is [email protected].

I look forward to your support for this important Program which is delivering improved mobile coverage to regional and remote Australia.

Yours sincerely

Cr Kathie Bowman District Council of Orroroo Carrieton PO Box 3 ORROROO SA 5431

Dear Mayor

AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT’S 2019-20 BUDGET ROAD SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT

We are writing to you in relation to the recently announced Local and State Government Road Safety Package and the Australian Government’s focus on reducing the burden of road trauma on the community.

Road safety is everyone’s responsibility and all levels of Government have a key role to play in delivering safer roads and vehicles. That is why the Australian Government will deliver an additional $2.2 billion in road safety funding from 2019-20 through the Local and State Government Road Safety Package.

Local governments are the primary beneficiaries of this initiative, with $1.1 billion of the additional funding being provided directly to councils under the Roads to Recovery Program. Councils were advised of their original Roads to Recovery allocation for the 2019-20 to 2023-24 period in December 2018 and the additional funding means that your council’s allocation for this period will increase by $259,503 to $1,297,515.

The Government’s Statement of Expectations for the Roads to Recovery Program, which was released by the then Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, the Hon Darren Chester MP, urged local councils to focus on improving road safety outcomes when undertaking local road upgrades, whilst maintaining each council’s discretion to select projects according to local priorities. We take this opportunity to reiterate the Government’s strong desire that, when selecting projects, councils consider the likelihood they will reduce fatalities and serious injuries. A copy of the Statement of Expectations, a Fact Sheet on the Government’s road safety initiatives and of the recently determined Funding Conditions for the 2019-20 to 2023-24 period are attached.

The Government’s Road Safety Package also includes an additional $550 million for the Black Spot Program, $275 million for the Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program, $275 million for the Bridges Renewal Program and new funding under the Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative. Local government has already benefitted significantly from funding under these programs and we look forward to continuing to work together with councils to improve road safety through these successful existing programs.

The Government is also taking action to deliver safer roads through a variety of other initiatives, including establishing a new Office of Road Safety, which will work closely with states, territories, local government, and road safety stakeholders on key road safety priorities.

There is a continuing commitment to improving the safety of new drivers through the Keys2drive program, continuing funding to the Australasian New Car Assessment Program to encourage the purchase of safer vehicles and an ongoing commitment to safer vehicle design through rigorous and globally harmonised Australian Design Rules.

In the 2019-20 Budget, the Australian Government is providing $2.6 million to the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) and $8 million over two years to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator, to make professional expertise more readily available to local governments, helping them better understand and assess their road assets. Specific guidance material will be provided to local governments free of charge, and specialist tools will be made available for road assessments. This will support local governments to improve overall road asset management, predictive maintenance and network planning, leading to improved safety and productivity outcomes.

In addition, to provide broader support for the important work councils do, the 2019-20 Budget also allocates $2.6 billion to local councils through the Financial Assistance Grant program. The Government’s Budget proposes to bring forward fifty per cent of this funding for early payment in the 2018-19 financial year. This cash injection of $1.3 billion will give councils immediate use of these funds in the 2018-19 financial year.

Should you require any further information, the relevant contact officers in my Department are Ms Nicole Spencer ([email protected]) in relation to AARB and the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator or Mr Greg Moxon ([email protected]) in relation to the Local and State Government Road Safety Package.

By partnering with local councils we are harnessing the best available local knowledge to fix the local roads which need it and help people get home sooner and safer

Enc

Yours sincerely

Michael McCormack

Note: Where a funding recipient does not wish to receive a Roads to Recovery payment during a particular quarter, it is not required to provide a quarterly report in respect of the previous quarter. However, it is strongly encouraged to do so, to enable the Department to monitor progress on individual projects.

5.9 The funding recipient must in each quarterly report submitted specify in respect of each project:

(a) the amount of Roads to Recovery payments spent during the period commencing on 1 July 2019 and ending on the last day of the quarter to which the quarterly report relates; and

8.2 Clause 8.1 does not apply in relation to a failure to fulfil a condition during a period when the funding recipient was exempt from the condition. Note: The Minister has the power under section 91 of the Act to exempt a

funding recipient from a condition and, if considered appropriate, to impose a replacement condition on the funding recipient.

8.3 If the Secretary or a delegate of the Secretary notifies a funding recipient in writing that the Secretary is satisfied that the funding recipient has, in

relation to a Roads to Recovery payment, failed to fulfil any replacement condition that the funding recipient was required to fulfil, the funding recipient must repay to the Commonwealth an amount equal to so much of the payment as the Secretary or delegate specifies in the notice.

Part 9: Compliance with other laws

Building Code

9.1 A funding recipient that spends a Roads to Recovery Payment on building work described in Schedule 1 to the Building Code must:

(a) if the building work is carried out by the funding recipient—comply with the Building Code to the extent that the Building Code binds the funding recipient; and

(b) if the building work is carried out by a building contractor—take all reasonable measures to ensure that the building contractor complies with the Building Code.

9.2 In clause 9.1:

Building Code means the Code for the Tendering and Performance of Building Work 2016, as in force from time to time;

building contractor has the same meaning as in the Building Code;

building work has the meaning given by section 6 of the Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Act 2016. Note: The Building Code applies to construction projects indirectly funded by the

Australian Government through grant or other programs where:

the Australian Government funding contribution to the project is at least $5 million and represents at least 50 per cent of the total construction project value; or

the Australian Government funding contribution to the project is $10 million or more.

For further information on the Building Code, refer to: https://www.abcc.gov.au/building-code or contact the Building Code Hotline on 1800 003 338.

Australian Government Building and Construction OHS Accreditation Scheme

9.3 A funding recipient that spends a Roads to Recovery Payment on building work to which subsection 43(4) of the Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Act 2016 applies must not enter into a contract for the building work with a builder who is not an accredited person.

9.4 In clause 9.3:

accredited person has the meaning given by section 5 of the Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Act 2016;

builder has the meaning given by subsection 43(8) of the Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Act 2016;

building work has the meaning given by section 6 of the Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Act 2016;

Note: Under the Building and Construction Industry (Improving Productivity) Act 2016 and the Building and Construction Industry (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2016, Australian Government agencies can only fund building work when, subject to certain value thresholds, an accredited builder is engaged as the head contractor. This scheme, known as the Australian Government Building and Construction OHS Accreditation Scheme (the Scheme), extends to building work that is indirectly funded by the Australian Government.

For further information on the Scheme, refer to: http://www.fsc.gov.au/sites/fsc/needaccredited/accreditationscheme/pages/theaccreditationscheme or contact the Federal Safety Commissioner Assist Line on 1800 652 500.

9.5 Funding recipients are required to comply with all other relevant laws. Note: For example, projects on which Roads to Recovery payments are spent must

adhere to Australian Government environment and heritage legislation including the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. Construction cannot start unless the relevant obligations are met.

The Department strongly recommends that, before starting an environmental study for a project, proponents contact the Australian Government Department of the Environment (http://www.environment.gov.au/epbc/index.html). They can provide advice about Australian Government requirements and ensure that the Australian Government’s legislative requirements are properly addressed by the study. This will reduce the likelihood of cost and time delays before construction can commence.

Funding recipients must also meet other statutory requirements where relevant. These may include, but are not limited to:

Native title legislation;

State government legislation - for example, environment and heritage; and

ROADS TO RECOVERY STATEMENT OF EXPECTATIONS

The Roads to Recovery (R2R) Program makes a valuable contribution to safety, economic and

social outcomes in communities through supporting maintenance of the nation’s local roads.

In the 2016‐17 Budget, the Australian Government took a decision to provide an additional

$50 million on an ongoing basis to the R2R Program from 2019‐20, to bring the annual

allocation to $400 million across all councils in Australia.

The Government also ensured that the R2R Program did not contain a sunset clause under the

National Land Transport Act 2014, safeguarding the continuation of this important program.

1,300 people died on Australian roads last year and the Australian Government has been

working closely with all levels of government to develop a strategy to reduce fatalities and

serious injuries on our roads.

The current National Road Safety Strategy 2011‐2020 sets out a plan using the safe system

approach, safer vehicles, safer speeds, safer people and safer roads to reduce fatal and serious

injury crashes by at least 30 per cent. This approach calls for a holistic view of the road

transport system and the interactions among roads and roadsides, travel speeds, vehicles and

road users.

Unfortunately, after a decade of good results, the trend over the last two years has been going

in the wrong direction.

In reviewing the outcomes of the R2R Program, I am pleased to see that 27 per cent of funding

received by councils has been spent on road safety across the life of the current program. A

further 34 per cent of spending has been to maintain the road asset, which also has safety

benefits.

There is a considerable body of knowledge that indicates that well‐designed road

improvements reduce the rate of road crashes and serious injuries.

A study of the Australian Government’s Black Spot Program in 2012 examined the crash

reduction benefits of a variety of road treatments based on a sample of 1,599 projects across

the country.

The Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics estimated that the Black Spot

Program is reducing fatal and casualty crashes in total at treated sites by 30 per cent.

The study found that roundabouts are the most effective treatment, reducing casualty crashes

by over 70 per cent. Providing new traffic signals and altering the traffic flow direction are the

next most highly effective treatments for most severity levels, reducing crashes by more than

50 per cent.

We do not have the same level of information to be able to assess the benefits of the R2R

Program.

I would like to work with local councils to ensure that the R2R Program is delivering the best

possible outcomes in the area of road safety. When selecting projects, I would urge councils to

consider the likelihood that the selected project will reduce fatalities and serious injuries in

crashes.

It may be that projects that may not have been able to be funded under State or Federal Black

Spot programs could be delivered under the R2R Program.

In terms of road maintenance projects, improving the quality of the road asset through re‐

sheeting and resealing will have stronger safety outcomes than simply maintaining the quality

through routine road maintenance.

I note that pedestrian and cycling facilities associated with a road can be funded under R2R. I

do not propose to change the eligibility criteria, but ask that such projects are only prioritised if

their specific aim is to improve safety for vulnerable road users.

Councils could consider pooling R2R funding or Financial Assistance Grants to prioritise and

jointly improve the quality of roads in a region with a known crash record. Similar to the

greater adoption of asset management plans, councils could draw up road safety plans on a

network basis in conjunction with neighbouring councils.

I have asked my Department to improve the reporting of safety and other outcomes from the

R2R Program and I would like councils to provide additional information on the benefits and

outcomes of each project. I encourage you to evaluate the projects completed and how they

have benefitted the local network and community (for example, crash reductions or travel

efficiencies), to assist us to better monitor and evaluate the program. I ask that this

information be provided as part of the annual reporting from councils. My Department will

inform councils of new reporting templates that will need to be completed as a condition of

funding release for future years.

I am also requesting councils provide the Department with more regular updates on the status

of projects which are receiving funding under R2R. I know previously some councils have

informed us once works have been completed rather than before they have begun. I would

like councils to inform us of every project which will receive R2R funding before they

commence work on them and update us on their progress each quarter. A higher level of

engagement than we have previously requested will allow both of us to benefit by keeping the

local community informed of works underway.

The Commonwealth Government is committed to using Federal funding to improve

employment opportunities for Indigenous Australians and I ask for this consideration to be

applied to projects using R2R funding.

Lastly, I invite councils to write to me with ideas of how all levels of government could be

improving road safety and the outcomes from the considerable investment we all make in the

country’s roads.

BUDGET 2019: Factsheet

RoadSafetyPackage

The Australian Government is determined to improve the safety of people on our roads by introducing new

national initiatives and investing an additional $2.2 billion through a package of road safety measures:

establishing an Office of Road Safety to provide a national point of leadership on key road safety

priorities and deliver new programs such as a $12 million Road Safety Innovation Fund and $4 million

Road Safety Awareness and Enablers Fund providing grants for road safety awareness, education and

collaboration initiatives;

a Local and State Government Road Safety Package, including:

o an additional $1.1 billion for the Roads to Recovery Program, which supports investment in

road maintenance and safety

o an additional $550 million for the Black Spot Program, which targets known high‐risk locations

and reduces on average serious crashes by 30 per cent

o an additional $275 million for the Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program to improve

the safety and efficiency of heavy vehicle operations

o an additional $275 million for the Bridges Renewal Program to fund the replacement of

bridges to make roads safer by reducing travel times

$2.6 million to support local governments to better manage the safety and maintenance of their road

infrastructure networks;

an additional $6 million for National Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiatives, funding more projects to improve

the safety of heavy vehicles on our roads; and

an additional $8 million to the successful Keys2drive program, which provides a free theory and

practical lesson to learner drivers and their supervisors.

Whyisthisimportant?

Road crashes cost the national economy about $30 billion a year, but this is nothing compared to the

immeasurable impact on families, friends, first responders and the wider community.

Whowillbenefit?

The package will deliver significant benefits to the Australian community through reducing road

trauma and serious injury. The Government is continuing its support for councils to invest in the

safety and quality of local roads, especially in regional areas.

Howmuchwillthiscost?

With this additional investment, the Australian Government will spend $3.1 billion per year on safety

related infrastructure investments and other initiatives over the next four years.
