Section 428 (2) (i) Bush Fire Hazard Reduction The Hawkesbury Rural Fire District for the 2009/10 annual reporting period have completed 1846 hectares of bush fire hazard reduction burning which included 171 hectares within the Asset Protection Zone and 1577 hectares in Strategic Fire Advantage Zone, throughout the Hawkesbury LGA. A review of the Bush Fire Risk Management Plan was undertaken by the Bush Fire Management Committee in 2009/10 and has been submitted to the Bush Fire Coordinating Committee for approval. As a result of this review, a range of strategies have been developed to reduce the risk of bush fires, including bush fire hazard reduction burning within the Hawkesbury LGA. The RFS attended 539 incidents within the Hawkesbury within 2009/10 which consisted of 307 fires, 71 motor vehicle accidents and 161 other calls types. 109 Permits were issued in the period and 117 Development Applications were assessed by the Hawkesbury Office. Section 428 (2) (j) Multicultural Services Before European Settlement in 1788 it was estimated that up to 3,000 Darug people lived in the Hawkesbury/Nepean Valley. The arrival of the First Fleet was followed by an outbreak of smallpox, and this, together with the dispersal and dispossession of the Darug people, decimated the indigenous population. In 1840 it was estimated that fewer than 300 Darug people were left alive - the District Returns of 1891 recorded 91 people of aboriginal descent living in the Hawkesbury. The 2006 census figures indicate that 1,164 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders live in the Hawkesbury (1.9% of the total population). The population of Indigenous Australians has grown by over 42% since 1991. While census figures indicate that the population of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders has been steadily increasing, the population is probably yet to recover to its pre 1788 levels. Over the last decade the number of residents who were born overseas has also increased. In 1991 there were 7,664 residents born overseas and this had increased to 11,548 in 2006. The birthplace of the largest number of overseas born residents was England (almost 5% of the total population) followed by New Zealand, Malta and Germany. The number of residents born in non-English speaking countries increased from 3,438 in 1991 to 3,579 in 2006 (5.9% of the total population). The major non-English speaking countries of birth for Hawkesbury residents were South - East Asia, Malta, Germany, Netherlands and Italy. There is no significant concentration of overseas-born residents from a particular non-English speaking country within the Hawkesbury. The largest group (from South - East Asia) makes up less than 1% of the population. Other emerging groups include India, Philippines, South Africa and China although numbers are still small compared to neighbouring areas. The population of the Hawkesbury is ethnically diverse. However, there is no one group from a non-English speaking background that is significantly large in comparison to other groups. As a result, multicultural services within the Hawkesbury do not normally target a specific population group but provide a service for all overseas-born residents. Programs for residents from non-English speaking backgrounds and Indigenous Australians are generally delivered by regional agencies which are not located in the Hawkesbury but operate on an outreach basis. To better meet the needs of these residents, Council has collaborated with local community groups and regional agencies to develop a range of initiatives. During the 2009/2010 financial year the following initiatives were undertaken: • In July 2009 Council contributed funds to support the staging of NAIDOC week celebrations. The celebrations promoted community awareness of the Indigenous history of the Hawkesbury and the contribution of the Darug people to its development. 2009/2010 Annual Report Page 105
