HAVE YOUR SAY ON BOUNDARY AMENDMENTS IN GWYDIR LGA

NSW Department of Customer Service < 1 mins read

The Geographical Names Board (GNB) is seeking community feedback on a proposal by Gwydir Shire Council to amend 12 existing address locality boundaries in its Local Government Area.

Gwydir Shire Council proposed the boundary amendments following a review of rural addresses, which identified a need to amend some address locality to avoid confusion in the provision of services including Emergency Services.

The GNB is seeking feedback on the proposal to amend the locality boundaries of Keera and Bundarra, Dinoga and Cobbadah, Crooble and Pallamallawa, Delungra and Balfours Peak, Gulf Creek and Keera, and, Boggabilla and Tulloona.

The Board is encouraging community comment before it considers the proposal.

Details of the proposals can be viewed and submissions lodged on the Geographical Names Board’s website.

Alternatively, written submissions may be mailed to the Secretary, Geographical Names Board, 346 Panorama Ave, Bathurst, NSW 2795.

Submissions can be made until 23 July 2023.

“We want to make sure everyone has an opportunity to provide their feedback on the proposed boundary amendments.”

Dicing with death: survey reveals 40 per cent of young workers get no safety training

A new survey of young workers reveals almost four in ten respondents (39.8%) received no safety training when they started a new job while more than half (50.2%) never had their work health and safety (WHS) rights explained to them. Unions NSW, which conducted the survey, said it revealed a dangerously lax attitude to safety among employers. “Parents, employers, and policymakers should be concerned. But most importantly, young workers need to hear this message: if your boss is not giving you safety training or explaining your rights, they are dicing with death,” said Unions NSW Campaigns Officer, Caitlin Marlor. “We…

Dartbrook coal mine extension short sighted, reckless

In response to the NSW government’s approval of the extension of the Dartbrook thermal coal mine in the Hunter Valley, the Australian Conservation Foundation’s national climate policy adviser Annika Reynolds (they/them) said: “The decision of the Minns government to allow the Dartbrook thermal coal mine to keep mining coal until 2033 is reckless and short sighted. “In 2025, Dartbrook coal mine entered voluntary administration after accruing close to $50 million in losses, raising concerns about the mine’s capacity to pay its workforce, pay its taxes and royalties, or set aside sufficient funds to meet its rehabilitation obligations. “The Minns government…

PSA backs foster care overhaul restoring accountability to child protection system

The Public Service Association of NSW (PSA) says the Minns Government’s announcement of sweeping foster care reforms, designed to rebuild accountability and transparency across a system supporting more than 13,500 vulnerable children, is a long overdue reset after years of outsourcing failures under the Permanency Support Program. The union, which represents child protection caseworkers in the Department of Communities and Justice, said the changes recognise what frontline staff have been warning for years: when responsibility is fragmented, children fall through the cracks. For nearly a decade, caseworkers have operated inside a system where legal responsibility remained with government while service…
