Guidelines for Interim Regional Arrangements The $2.7 billion Natural Heritage Trust represents the biggest financial commitment to environmental action by any Australian Government in Australia's history. Since 1996, the Trust has invested much needed funds to help local communities deliver cleaner beaches, healthier waterways, less air pollution, more productive agricultural land and save our threatened species. To date, $1.4 billion has been invested in the Trust and related programs for more than 11 900 projects around Australia. More importantly, an estimated 400 000 Australians have been involved in these projects. In the May 2001 Budget the Australian Government extended the Natural Heritage Trust for a further five years, from 2002-03 to 2006-07. From July this year there will be more than $1billion in funding over the five years to 2006-07 to support the sustainable management of Australia's natural resources. The extension of the Trust provided an ideal opportunity to review the success of the program to date and to determine its future direction. At the October 2002 Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council, State/Territory and Australian Ministers endorsed the

Australian Antarctic Territory Background and overview The states originated as separate British colonies prior to Federation (in 1901). Their powers are protected by the Australian constitution, and Commonwealth legislation only applies to the states where permitted by the constitution. The territories, by contrast, are from a constitutional perspective directly subject to the Commonwealth government. The Australian Parliament has powers to legislate in the territories that it does not possess in the states. Most of the territories are directly administered by the Commonwealth government, while three (the Northern Territory, the Australian Capital Territory and Norfolk Island) administer themselves. In the self-governing territories the Australian Parliament retains the full power to legislate, and can override laws made by the territorial institutions, which it has done on rare occasion. For the purposes of Australian (and joint Australia-New Zealand) intergovernmental bodies, the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory are treated as a state.

Johnston Geodetic Station Officially, there is no centre of Australia. This is because there are many complex but equally valid methods that can determine possible centres of a large, irregularly-shaped area - especially one that is curved by the earth's surface. However, numerous attempts at reaching and defining Australia's centre were made during the country's early pioneering days: "Let any man lay the map of Australia before him, and regard the blank upon its surface, and then let me ask him if it would not be an honourable achievement to be the first to place foot at its centre. Men of undoubted perseverance and energy in vain had tried to work their way to that distant and shrouded spot." "Thus said Charles Sturt in November 1845, who at the age of forty-nine, and partially blind from earlier expeditionary work, left his beloved wife Charlotte and started on a third and final expedition - this time aimed straight at the heart of the continent. There, he believed he would find 'a large body of inland waters', so he equipped the expedition with a boat for sailing on this mythical sea. Instead, he discovered a sea of seemingly endless sand dunes - the

GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES TO ADDRESS THE SUMMIT RECOMMENDATIONS In keeping with its commitment to the ten-year vision for regional Australia, the government has taken a range of actions to address the challenges facing regional and rural Australia, which were identified at the Summit. Some of the initiatives of the Federal government are briefly discussed: A clear and cooperative approach for improving services to people living in regional Australia has been agreed to by Regional Development Ministers from the States and Territories, Local Government and the Commonwealth. The Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal, announced at the Summit finalised their first round of funding in August 2000. The $240m Stronger Families and Communities Strategy announced in April 2000 directly addresses a number of Summit recommendations. Health, as a key theme at the regional Summit, has been addressed in the 2000-2001 Budget. The Budget featured a $562m package as a comprehensive response to the health disadvantages faced by people in regional, rural and remote Australia. The Summit highlighted the difficulties many people in country areas face in providing an education for their children. These difficulties have been recognised with an alteration to the asset test for Youth Allowance to improve access for student children of farmers and small business operators. More funding for students who live away from home has been provided.

Research Note 21 1999-2000 Higher Education in Regional Australia Dr Kim Jackson Social Policy Group 7 December 1999 The purpose of this note is to identify higher education resources in regional Australia and to compare these with those available in the capital cities of the States and Territories.(1) There are about 70 higher education facilities located outside the capital cities. They range from small 'shopfronts', like the Tamworth office of the University of New England, to the Callaghan campus of the University of Newcastle, with an enrolment over 16 000. In 1998 about 176 000 students were undertaking courses at these facilities, with 71 800 of these enrolled externally.(2) The Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs (DETYA) has undertaken extensive research on participation in higher education by students from rural and remote areas.(3) This work is largely concerned with where students are from, rather than where they are studying. The focus of this paper is on the latter: it attempts to quantify the actual provision of higher education services in regional areas, both in terms of expenditure and student places. This information has relevance for regional development policies as well as the higher education program. The importance of local higher education institutions (HEIs) to regional economies has long been recognised. A study commissioned by the Review of Higher Education Financing and Policy suggested that Australia's regional universities contributed over $2 billion to regional output.(4) The viability of regional institutions is an economic as well as an educational issue and, in view of the relative under-provision of higher education resources in regional Australia, it might be considered an equity issue as well.

78. National Skills Shortages Strategy - Beyond_Traffic_Lights Rural Skills Australia (RSA) provides advice, assistance and labour providers inall states and territories The Community Regional Industry Skills Program in http://www.skillsinitiative.gov.au/beyond.htm

BEYOND THE TRAFFIC LIGHTS: REGIONAL SKILLS PROJECTS Since 1999, the Australian Government has worked with 11 crucial industries suffering skill shortages to develop and implement strategies to fill skill needs. But today, skills shortages are not just felt on an industry by industry basis, they also occur on a region by region basis. This happens in some areas where a new industry comes to town, such as the Alice to Darwin railway from 2002 to 2004. It can also happen where an existing industry closes down, and new industries, such as tourism or business services, spring up. The skills in the old industries are then no longer in demand. Under the National Skills Shortages Strategy, the Australian Government will undertake regional skills pilots to identify and develop practical strategies to address a region's current and future skills needs. In each pilot, the Australian Government will work with regional stakeholders such as industry, education providers and the broader community to: profile existing and potential industries in a region;

Freshwater Australia Environment Australia, 2003 Contents Previous What is Being Done? The Commonwealth, State, Local Governments, community groups and industry bodies are all working towards the protection and sustainable use of Australia's freshwater resources. The Commonwealth Government has implemented the National Water Reform and in partnership with the States and Territories is implementing the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality and funding for environmental activities through the Natural Heritage Trust. In 2003-04 nearly $364 million is being invested in natural resource management through the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality and the Natural Heritage Trust. National Water Reform In February 1994, the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) consisting of the Prime Minister, Premiers, Chief Ministers and the President of the Australian Local Government Association agreed to implement a "strategic framework to achieve an efficient and sustainable water industry." The Framework aims to promote the action that is needed to halt the widespread degradation of our natural resources and to minimise unsustainable use of our precious water resources. The Framework includes provisions for water entitlements and trading, environmental requirements, public consultation and education, water pricing and research.
