C OMPETITION P RINCIPLES A GREEMENT Competition Principles Agreement The Competition Principles Agreement (CPA) is a contractual agreement between the federal government and all state and territory governments. Local government is committed to the CPA through the state governments’ involvement. The focus of the CPA is to ensure that all public enterprises operate in a transparent manner in the best public interest. This requires that public enterprises review their operations to ensure that they do not have a competitive advantage or disadvantage resulting from their status as public enterprises. To ensure compliance with the CPA, local governments are required to include in their annual reports certain particulars in relation to CPA. The Town of Vincent supports the concept of the CPA and in this regard the following particulars are reported. Competitive Neutrality This principle deals with ensuring that government business operations do not have any advantage or disadvantage in comparison with the private sector. At present no activities undertaken by the Town have been classified as either a Public Trading Enterprise (PTE) or a Public Financial Enterprise (PFE) by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. During the reporting period the Town has not received any allegations of non-compliance with the principles of Competitive Neutrality. Structural Reform of Public Monopolies The Town does not operate any Public Monopolies within the CPA definition and accordingly there is no reporting requirement. The Town did not privatise any activities during 2004-2005. Legislation Review Within the principles of the CPA is a requirement for local governments to review all existing legislation to ensure that the legislation does not restrict competition, or if restrictive legislation is in place, it is in the best interests of the community. Local Laws During the year the Town continued the process of reviewing all Local Laws. The Local Government Act 1995 requires all existing Local Laws to be reviewed every eight years. As part of this process the intention to review Local Laws is advertised in the press as required by the Local Government Act, thus giving residents and ratepayers the opportunity to comment on any proposed changes, additions or deletions to the Town’s Local Laws. 66 TOWN OF VINCENT _ A NNUAL R EPORT 2004-2005
