Australia TradeCoast. Australia TradeCoast is an economic development area of Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia. The concept of branding and promoting the empty space around Brisbane's port and airport, following many years of Government reports and soul-searching on what might be done with the "Brisbane Gateway Ports Area", was first proposed to then Queensland Premier Peter Beattie by a 3PR marketing consultant who had developed Amsterdam Airport Area for Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. Beattie took up the idea with enthusiasm, so a partnership was formed between the Queensland Government, Brisbane City Council, Brisbane Airport and the Port of Brisbane to drive the project forward.
The brand and organisational details were announced at a press conference at Brisbane Airport in May 1999. Australia TradeCoast is expected to release and develop 1,300 hectares (3,200 acres) of land by 2026. In 2014 there were 32 industry precincts.

Serco used to be the biggest company you had never heard of. For three decades it grew in the borderlands between the state and society, the government and us. Its name stands for “service company” and Serco, which combined great ambition with a desire to be unseen, wanted to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time. It was as much a formula as a company: a way to implement outsourced public services on behalf of governments, but with the elan of a restless entrepreneur.
It didn’t matter what the service was, where it had to happen, or to whom it was delivered. The trouble started in the spring. The paperwork that embodies government outsourcing, the physical contracts themselves, tells you a lot about how vexatious the whole business is. For the tagging contracts, it was decided that it was up to the crown, and not G4S or Serco, to decide when individuals should be fitted with a tag. Over the years, letters got lost, notifications were not followed up, and these cases accreted. NSW budget 2015: $2.5bn surplus delivered in 'a time of building' | Australia news. The New South Wales government has delivered a $2.5bn surplus, although the bulk of it was achieved by changing the way it lists some of its transport spending. The treasurer, Gladys Berejiklian, announced the surplus in her first budget on Tuesday, saying the government had overcome “a bloated bureaucracy and an unsustainable budget” to deliver the result.
The underlying surplus is $713m, with the headline figure achieved by establishing the transport asset holding entity (Tahe), a commercial, public, non-financial organisation which allows the government to list part of its transport budget as a direct equity injection rather than a cost. The Victorian and Queensland governments use a similar system. The underlying surplus is forecast to be delivered over the next four years, increasing to $895m in 2018-19. The NSW government used the budget to square up for a fight with the federal government over education and health spending. Japan post purchasing toll australia. State Library of New South Wales. The State Library of New South Wales is a large reference and research library open to the public.
It is the oldest library in Australia, being the first library established in New South Wales (now a state of Australia).[4] The library is located on the corner of Macquarie Street, Sydney and Shakespeare Place, adjacent to the Domain and the Royal Botanic Gardens. The library is a member of the National and State Libraries Australasia (NSLA) consortium. History[edit] The library started as the Australian Subscription Library in 1826.
It was then purchased for £5100 by the New South Wales Government in 1869[4] and became the Sydney Free Public Library. Establishment (1826–1900)[edit] The library was established in 1826 as the Australian Subscription Library at a meeting at the Sydney Hotel chaired by barrister John Mackaness.[5] Library membership was subject to committee approval. Financial difficulties continued, and by 1869 the subscription library was in serious debt. Building[edit] Digital shopfront to make government access easy as internet banking | Australia news. Australians may soon be able to pay bills to every level of government and get information about all government services through a single website with one login, as easily as they can do internet banking or order a taxi through an app.
Tony Abbott has given communications minister Malcolm Turnbull sole responsibility for a “digital transformation office” to build on the existing myGov service, including the possibility of extending it to state and local government transactions. The move clarifies who is responsible for a service now part-run by the Department of Finance. One of the office’s first jobs would be to allow people to create a single “digital identity” and login for all government services. “Almost all transactions with the federal government can be completed entirely digitally,” Turnbull told Guardian Australia. Turnbull said his first priority was “how to make the service work from the point of view of the customer” because “we already know it is going to save money”.

Michael George The White House confirmed today the rumors that Todd Park, the nation’s Chief Technology Officer and the spiritual leader of its effort to reform the way the government uses technology, is leaving his post. Largely for family reasons—a long delayed promise to his wife to raise their family in California—he’s moving back to the Bay Area he left when he began working for President Barack Obama in 2009.
But Park is not departing the government, just continuing his efforts on a more relevant coast. It’s a continuation of what Park has already been doing for months. Achievements that Internet companies seem to pull off effortlessly are tougher than Mars probes for federal agencies. There were about a hundred of them, filling several lounges and conference rooms. “America needs you!” Todd Park. NT to shift public servants out of Darwin to ease traffic congestion. Posted Fri 25 Jul 2014, 4:46pm AEST The Northern Territory Government says it plans to move some public servants - including health sector employees - out of Darwin to ease congestion during peak traffic times.
Chief Minister Adam Giles made the announcement at the opening of the latest section of Tiger Brennan Drive this morning. When asked if there were plans to ease traffic congestion in and out of the city during peak times, Mr Giles said the Government would look at moving some public servants out of the CBD. Health sector employees would move to the new Palmerston Hospital site once it was completed, he said.
"We are looking at moving some public servants or public employees in the future, as leases transition out and we see greater levels of population in other areas of the Top End," Mr Giles said. The works at the city end of the Darwin-Palmerston arterial are the latest in the project's five year, $236.5 million history. More works are scheduled to be completed in 2016.
