The conference was a credit to
Landcom. I’m not sure where the
public and commercial interest
discussion that is presented at your
conferences would occur elsewhere.
Congratulations. I took a lot out of
the occasion.

Improving our own systems
This year we made a number of improvements to our systems to
help us manage our own performance and also to make it easier to
do business with us.
••
We developed an e-Tender portal to help us manage tenders
via our website. The portal was used for the first time in
October for The Ponds. The system reduces the potential for
errors and delays, and includes features such as automated
receipting, activity logs and direct filing of submissions. By the
end of the reporting period there were around 500 registered
users of the e-Tender portal. We also made improvements to
our land registration portal during the year, which is now more
sophisticated and user friendly.
••
As part of our Business Improvement Program, we held a
civil contractors panel forum in August, and further civil and
landscaping forums in May. These sessions are part of an
ongoing program of engagement and feedback with the
people with whom we do business, and they have been very
well received.
••
In March, we began work on a web-enabled sustainability
reporting tool, designed to enable a more efficient and
user-friendly way of collating and analysing our sustainability
performance data. The web portal will be complete and ready
for use by our staff by the end of 2011.

A new model for
primary health care
In November, based on our MOU with Greenfields
Development Company and the University of
Western Sydney (referred to in ‘Partnering with
others’), we began work on a business case for a
world-class integrated primary care clinic in Oran
Park Town.
This is a new concept and the vision is that the
clinic will be a hub to connect various health care
professionals and the community. A distinguishing
feature of the concept is the involvement of
academic leaders to create a local learning network
for professionals and a way of engaging with the
community about health issues. The clinic will be a
major point of difference for this landmark project.
