Dear Constituents

During my time as the local member for the wonderful area of Ryde, I have worked in partnership with the community in order to implement a number of initiatives. The current fight to retain open space in the area of Ryde has been no different.

There have been three particular proposals which have been quite concerning to not only myself, but also to constituents of the area; the development of the north side of Epping Road, the possible development of the Tennis World site, and the potential development at the 3A Smalls Road site. I have, and will continue to, fight vigorously for the preservation of land for open space, and for responsible development.

My advocacy on the retention of the Small’s Road Site is consistent with my approach to the preservation of land for open space across Ryde whether it is Tennis World, the Meadowbank Foreshore Development or the Ryde Hockey Fields.

The Tennis World site should be available for use by the people of Ryde and I, along with the Federal Member for Bennelong, John Alexander MP and the constituents we represent and work with, will continue to advocate for its retention as open public space. My strong stance on this is consistent with my passion for preserving land for open space across the Ryde electorate.

This view is no different with my approach to 3A Smalls Road. This site was formerly Ryde High School, and even I remember catching the bus from the end of this road in my daily commute to Holy Spirit Primary as a child. This site has long been characterised by its use for education, and I strongly believe this should not change. Just as my constituents are, I am deeply concerned by the threat of the playing fields being replaced by high-density development.

I recently sent out two petitions to the residents of the great area of Ryde; one for the retention of Tennis World, and the other for Smalls Road. So far, I have received a good response from concerned residents but we still need more. There are copies of these petitions on the back of this issue of the Connector; if you haven’t already done so please complete and return the signed petition to my office to continue the fight.

Yours sincerely,

The Hon. Victor Dominello MPMember for Ryde

While forecast revenue has fallen significantly across the nation since we came to government, we have again ensured expense growth does not exceed revenue growth.

Although the Budget remains in deficit (returning to surplus in 2014-15), the bottom line would be $19 billion worse off if savings measures were not taken.

Securing the future for NSW

The NSW Liberals & Nationals Government is securing the future of the State by delivering a Budget that consolidates the rewards of tough decisions and reforms.

We’ve managed to again live within our means and reduce debt to get the Budget back on track to surplus.

Despite global economic challenges, we are committed to delivering our election commitments to improve frontline services, protect the vulnerable and invest in critical infrastructure – whilst maintaining NSW’s triple-A credit rating.

This Budget boosts funding for Health by $884 million; Education by $524 million; and Police by $171 million. This builds on the 5,000 additional nurses, teachers and police officers recruited since March 2011.

A record $14.6 billion investment in Transport and Roads will help deliver better infrastructure and improved services. The Budget will also provide a $300 million boost to the Building the State package - extending the first homebuyers scheme and providing priority infrastructure to increase the supply of new housing.

This Budget is about securing our future to make NSW number one.

NSWNSW 다문화지역사회 연락관 찬타 마우 씨 다문화지역사회 연락관 찬타 마우 씨이스트우드 지역의 새로운 다문화지역사회 연락관으로 찬타 마우 씨가 임명됐다. 그의 직무는 지난 3월 시작됐다. 뱅크스타운 지역의 다문화지역사회 연락관으로 18년간 재직한 바 있는 마우 씨는 이 분야에서 폭넓은 경력을 쌓아왔다. 마우 씨는 경찰과 지역사회간의 협력관계 증진을 바탕으로 지역 치안유지에 열정을 보여온 ‘소통하는 주민’이다. 그의 주요 업무는 경찰 역할의 홍보, 그리고 범죄 예방 및 범죄에 대한 우려감 해소를 위한 경찰의 지역사회와의 연대 지원 등이다. 마우 씨는 “제 능력과 더불어 경찰과 지역사회에 대한 지식을 지역사회에 활용할 수 있는 기회를 갖게 돼 무척 고무적으로 생각한다”고 말했다. 이런 점에서 그는 “지역사회 단체와 구성원들 그리고 단체대표들과 다각적인 만남을 갖고 이스트우드 경찰서와 지역사회 간에 이미 구축된 기존의 긍정적인 협력관계를

더욱 증진시킬 수 있는 방안을 모색하고 싶다”며 강한 열정을 보였다. 이스트우드 LAC는 지난 1년 전 사퇴한 아우 씨의 후임으로 새로운 다문화지역사회 연락관이 선임된 것에 대해 무척 반기는 분위기다. 마우 씨는 이미 지난 2013년 4월 30일 열린 혼스비/쿠링가이 PCYC 행사를 준비하는 등 본격적인 활동에 돌입했다. ‘지역사회 파트너십 데이’로 불린 이 행사는 혼스비/쿠링가이 PCYC의 스테이지 도색작업을 위해 30명의 자원봉사자를 지원키로 한 ‘노바티스(Norvatis) 제약사’와의 협력관계를 기념하기 위해 마련됐다. 새로운 단장작업을 통해 회관 시설의 개선과 더불어 더 많은 청소년들의 회관 사용을 증진시키는계기가 될 것으로 기대된다. 마우 씨는 월요일부터 금요일까지 이스트우스 경찰서를 통해 연락이 가능하다.

Chantha Mau We would like to introduce Ms Chantha Mau, the new Multicultural Community Liaison Officer (MCLO) for Eastwood Local Area Command. She started in March this year. Ms Mau has extensive experience as a MCLO, having worked in the MCLO role for 18 years in Bankstown Local Area Command. Ms Mau is a people person, who is passionate about community policing and relationship building between police and the community.

My Ministerial office reached a fantastic milestone in April when I released the NSW Government’s new plan for Aboriginal affairs.

Called OCHRE – Opportunity, Choice, Healing, Responsibility, Empowerment – the plan was developed after the Ministerial Taskforce on Aboriginal Affairs, which I chaired, held 27 public forums and heard from more than 3000 people across NSW.

The plan, which was close to 18 months in the making, includes reforms to support more Aboriginal people to stay at school and transition to work; builds local decision making skills in communities and; ensures government and community are more accountable for how money is spent.

Later this year I will announce the roll out of the following pilot initiatives in selected communities ahead of a wider rollout:

� Opportunity Hubs to provide school students pathways to real jobs by getting local employers involved in career planning early on at school;

� Aboriginal Language and Culture Nests to provide a continuous pathway of learning from pre-school to tertiary education for Aboriginal language learners and teachers, at school and at home;

� A Local Decision Making model to develop the decision making skills of local Aboriginal governance bodies to make decisions about local service delivery;

� Connected Communities, a current initiative that is changing

the way educational services are delivered in 15 regional schools by working in partnership with Aboriginal communities.

The NSW Government is committed to putting Aboriginal people at the heart of decision making if real achievements are to be made.

Earlier this month I released a Statement of Principles for employers across NSW to protect the rights of our 2 million volunteers and recognise their invaluable contribution to the community.

Already, 12 high-profile NSW organis-ations including Taronga Zoo, St John NSW and the YWCA NSW have agreed to sign the new Statement of Principles for Recognition of Volunteer Rights developed by the NSW Government.

Volunteers are vital to the successful operation of countless organisations, but as unpaid workers their rights can sometimes be overlooked. By signing the Statement of Principles, organisations send a clear signal to current and potential volunteers that their contributions will be valued and their rights will be respected.

They should be treated with fairness, respect and dignity and have their

Flashing lights for every school in NSW

NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell, Treasurer Mike Baird and Roads Minister Duncan Gay recently announced an acceleration of the school zone flashing lights program, to ensure every school in NSW has a set of flashing lights by December 2015. This has been made financially possible by using a two phased approach.

Phase one type lights will be installed at schools on roads which are deemed to

be high risk, while the phase two type lights will be installed on lower risk roads.

The phase two lights started here in Ryde in 2009 with a different approach championed by Peter Olsen and Victor Dominello MP. Safety of children is paramount and it was with this in mind that the flashing lights were installed with the help of local Rotary Clubs at a substantially lower cost. The lights, which ask drivers to “Check Speed”, were installed on private property at all schools in the area at a fraction of the cost.

This approach, awareness for drivers, safety for our children and lower cost to install, is now being rolled out throughout our state and I congratulate Peter Olsen for his initiative and our Ryde Community for assisting me to launch this programme back in 2009/10.

North Ryde road safety enhancement

New red-light speed camerasThe power of the pen and strong community determination has succeeded in pedestrian safety being addressed at the intersection of Cox’s Road and Lane Cove. A small group of parents in the North Ryde Community came together with a common passion - to see a safer crossing for their children and indeed all pedestrians at this intersection.

They contacted their school principal and their local member and together the community set out to achieve change.

The Hon. Duncan Gay, Minister for Roads and Ports noted that the Community of North Ryde had made it very clear through their correspondence, representations from the Hon. Victor Dominello MP and their community petition that a red-light speed camera would improve road safety at this busy intersection.

I am pleased to advise the Cameras have been installed and became operational in late April. I wish to acknowledge Katherine Israel, Penny Joseph, Nicole Starling and Rebecca Ebel for their tireless work to assist our community.

rights recognised. That’s why the NSW Government has introduced a statement of seven principles outlining best practice in managing volunteers.

Last month I spoke at the Premier’s Harmony Dinner where the Premier Barry O’Farrell honoured five citizens for their exemplary service to the multicultural community in NSW.

In front of 700 people representing NSW’s vibrant multicultural communities, Mr O’Farrell presented them with the inaugural Premier’s Multicultural Community Medals.

I was also fortunate last month to announce the latest group of students to win the Premier’s ANZAC Memorial Scholarships. The 16 Year 10 and 11 students from schools across NSW will make a pilgrimage to sites of historical military significance in South East Asia, including Singapore, to learn more about the ANZAC legacy.
