COMMUNITY AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT MANAGER — LEON TRIPP
1. PUBLIC ART • Elliat Rich and Pip McManus delivered their presentation of Conceptual
Designs for the redevelopment of the entrance into the ASTC Library to the August 1 51 PAAC meeting.
• A number of preferred materials were identified and a design for a 1.5m wide concrete path from Gregory Terrace to the entrance will be developed with a view to installation.
• The PAAC Charter was finalised at this meeting and will be presented to Council for review.
2. HARTLEY STREET SCHOOL • Assisted with the transition of establishing new tenants in the centre office
area of the building which is now under Councils control. • Clarity NT, a firm of chartered accountants, is occupying the centre office and
Tangentyere Design is remaining in the southern end office. Heritage will continue to run the remainder of the building.
3. SCOPING STUDY INTO THE.EARLY CHILDHOOD SUPPLY AND DEMAND NEEDS FOR ALICE SPRINGS • Met with the Braitling Childcare Centre Management Committee to discuss
the potential of extending their premises to accommodate another 20 long day care places for the 0 — 24 month old cohorts. There was an initial reluctance
Page 6 of 6
to taking on that amount of under-two's as the staffing ratio is 1:4 for that group.
• The committee would be more inclined to take on half that number as a more realistic proposal. At present they are down by 4 staff members and are operating well below capacity. Negotiations are ongoing with DEEWR around finding a possible outcome to the childcare crisis.
4. HEALTHY COMMUNITITY INITIATIVE • A Deed of Variation has been signed to allow the program to operate for
another 12 months with the end date now being 30 June 2014. This variation was made available to all the participating LGA's as a way of utilising unexpended funding from the 10/11; 11/12 financial years. The program should be able to be rolled out at the same level of programming that was achieved over the last year in the next 2 subsequent years. This is a great outcome for the Council and the community.
5. FOUNDATION FOR YOUNG AUSTRALIANS • Three representatives from the Foundation for Young Australians met with the
CCS Director and myself to discuss the range of programs they provide nationally and within the Territory. I have been in contact with the NT Programs Manager Natalie Matulick with a view to engaging a number of young people from one of their programs (IMPACT) in the development of the Youth Council.
6. NBN CO DISCOVERY TRUCK • The NBN Co Discovery truck will be hosting free 20 minute interactive
demonstrations explaining Australia's National Broadband Network (NBN) on Monday 10 September between 10am — 5pm in the Alice Springs Town Council car park.
• As part of this visit an invitation has been extended to the Mayor, Councillors and Council staff to have the first session exclusively from 9am — 10am. This is a good opportunity to find out how the NBN will be rolled out in Alice Springs.
7. OTHER • EA 2012 Negotiations. • Fortnightly EA Update sessions. • Ulysses AGM meeting. • NAIDOC Youth Event. • Advocate Art Awards.
