50 Indigenous Pastoral Enterprise Development An Indigenous Pastoral Enterprise Development (IPED) initiative has been resourced to generate land-based economic activity and employment on Aboriginal-held pastoral land. IPED is a collaborative effort between the Pastoral Lands Board and the Office of Aboriginal Economic Development (now within the Department of Commerce). It works very closely with the Department of Agriculture and Food’s Indigenous Management Support Services to achieve three key outcomes: • to address tenure issues affecting the development of economic enterprises on Aboriginal held pastoral leases; • to strengthen the management and governance of Aboriginal enterprises; and • broker training and support to ensure the ongoing success of these enterprises. IPED’s approach allows Aboriginal people to generate economic activity and employment on their own land. In addition, it provides local people with the skills necessary to find employment either on site or elsewhere. IPED uses a two-phased approach to guide its work, which includes setting matters up correctly in the short-term, and continuing to provide assistance in the long-term. Significant issues relating to compliance and land tenure on over 30 pastoral leases have been addressed through this initiative and the leases are now in a position to deliver benefits to their owners and local communities. *This activity also relates to Goal 4. http://lands.rdl.wa.gov.au/pastoral Planning for Aboriginal communities The Department prepares town plans, known as community layout plans, for Western Australia’s large, permanent and remote Aboriginal communities. Beyond community layout plans, the Department also undertakes strategic planning projects and policy development, and provides planning advice and assistance to some of the State’s most remote areas. A significant strategic planning project completed in 2008–09 was the Fitzroy Futures Town Plan. It was prepared by the Department on behalf of the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC), the Shire of Derby– West Kimberley and Bunuba Incorporated. The WAPC endorsed the Town Plan in 2009. The Fitzroy Futures Town Plan was developed as a sub-regional structure plan under the State Planning Framework. The Shire is currently preparing a local planning strategy with a view to a municipality-wide town planning scheme being developed in the future. *This activity also relates to Goal 4 www.planning.wa.gov.au/Plans+policies National eDAIS governance In September 2008, Western Australia and the Commonwealth signed a Memorandum of Understanding to provide funding for the establishment and operation of a National eDAIS Coordination Office (NCO). The eDAIS (Electronic Development Assessment Interoperability Specification) supports the requirements of all States and Territories for the electronic processing of planning and development applications. The NCO is to provide governance, management and technical support for eDAIS and the jurisdictions’ implementation of electronic development assessment. The Department will host the NCO for the next three years. *This activity also relates to Goal 5. www.planning.wa.gov.au
Providing land to the community Through its State Land Services Business Unit, the Department provides land to support communities within Western Australia. Over the last year, the Department was instrumental in providing land in Albany for the Albany Waterfront Project. The project will span a number of stages that will allow development of foreshore land for community and commercial purposes. The first stage of the project will enable the development of the Albany Entertainment Centre, with future stages to consist of marina, hotel and commercial precinct developments. Land for seniors’ accommodation in Walpole was also provided to accommodate existing senior community members who could need more home assistance in their retirement years. The proposed development would provide up to 14 individual units and a recreational and administration centre and will allow seniors to have extra assistance while remaining in familiar surroundings, near family and friends in the community in which they may have always lived. Land was also provided to the Agesis Aged Care Group to enable expansion of its facilities at Innaloo, and expressions of interest were processed to enable key worker accommodation to be provided in South Hedland and Karratha. The Department also released broad-hectare sites totalling over 50 hectares for residential developments at Broome, Karratha, Kulin, Newman, Port Hedland, South Hedland and Tom Price as well as light industrial land at Karratha. *This activity also relates to Goal 4. http://lands.rdl.wa.gov.au/stateland National planning reform agenda The Department has continued to support the Minister for Planning’s participation in the Local Government and Planning Ministers Council (LGPMC), which is responsible for decision-making on key strategic local government and planning policy matters that can be addressed at the national level. Over the last year, the LGPMC and its supporting bodies have focused on: • development assessment reform; • planning and zoning law reform to increase retail competition; • environmental assessment and approval reforms; • sustainability of cities and major urban centres; • climate change planning policies and the development of a national framework and tools for use by local government to inform planning for climate change mitigation and adaptation; • affordable housing; and • the National Broadband Network. www.planning.wa.gov.au/Plans+and+policies Planning and Development Regulations The Department has completed the Planning and Development Regulations 2009, which are to come into effect on 1 July 2009. This is the first set of consolidated regulations to be prepared under the Planning and Development Act 2005. It further simplifies the State’s planning system, bringing together six sets of regulations that were prepared under the previous legislation and updating the language and processes. It also introduces new provisions that support sections of the Planning and Development Act relating to road access conditions and infringement notices. *This activity also relates to Goal 5. www.planning.wa.gov.au/Plans+and+policies Goal 2 51
