6 Community Item 4: Disability Inclusion Bill On Tuesday 17 December, the NSW Government released the draft Disability Inclusion Bill 2014 for public consultation. Under the new legislation, councils will be required to develop Disability Action Plans. The draft Bill foreshadows the introduction of a law in 2014 that will replace the Disability Services Act 1993, which has been under review by the NSW Department of Family and Community Services, Ageing, Disability and Home Care (ADHC) since the beginning of The Bill was developed following consultation with stakeholders, including submissions from Local Government NSW (LGNSW) and some councils, in early It takes into account the changing landscape of the National Disability Insurance Scheme which included the creation of new national laws and Dates Comments to LGNSW due by Friday 7 February Comments to ADHC due by Friday 14 February Online information Jane Selwood, ADHC or a member of the Disability Inclusion Bill Team disabilityinclusionbill@facs.nsw.gov.au Ref: R90/0058 MK policies. The draft Bill contains updated objects and principles with a focus on human rights and reference to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Disability Action Plans Under the Bill, disability action plans (DAPs) identify actions to be taken by each NSW Government department and NSW council so that people with disability can access mainstream supports and services available in the community and fully participate in the community. For councils, the types of measures to be included in a plan include how the council will: Provide access to buildings and facilities, such as council chambers, halls, libraries, toilets, and clubs Provide access to information in accessible formats such as Braille and easy English Accommodate the specific needs of people with disability, as needs vary depending on the person Support employment of people with disability e.g. by encouraging and supporting people with disability to work within the council and providing supports and services within the organisation for people with disability Encourage and create opportunities for people with disability to access the full range of services and activities available in the community thereby having people with disability more included in everyday activities and less reliant on specialist disability support services where possible. What do councils need to do now? When the new law commences, councils will need to be ready to develop disability action plans for when they are required. Timing will be established in the regulations which will follow the new legislation. ADHC will work with councils and will release guidelines on how to develop these plans. To avoid unnecessary administrative burden, councils will be able to adapt: Their current strategic planning process to include disability action plans Existing disability action plans Plans made to comply with the Commonwealth Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) to meet the requirements of both laws. Councils will need to consult with people with disability in developing their plans. Councils can also seek the assistance of the Disability Council NSW about the content and implementation of plans. Local Government NSW Weekly 2/14 17 January 2014 Page 6
7 Reporting Disability action plans must be publicly available and councils must give a copy of their plan to the Disability Council NSW, which advises the Minister for Disability Services on the content and implementation of plans. Councils must also include in their annual reports how they have implemented the plan and provide a copy of that part of their annual report to the Minister for Disability Services. Every year the Minister for Disability Services will report on disability action plans for both departments and councils in Parliament. Local Government NSW Weekly 2/14 17 January 2014 Page 7

IPART invites submissions to its issues paper. The review will involve: Establishing (not setting) the services provided by the Valuer-General to its customers (for example the obligations for service and expected level of service provided). Establishing the efficient costs of providing those services (for example determining the revenue requirements), including consideration of the scope for efficiency savings. Allocating the costs of the operation (revenue requirements) to the various user groups (in particular, councils and the Office of State Revenue).

The issues paper explains how the review is to be undertaken, provides background information, and outlines issues on which comment is particularly sought. IPART is expected to release a draft report (including draft findings and price determination) in April 2014, which will provide further opportunity for submissions. Background The Valuer-General is required to provide land valuation lists and supplementary lists to councils of areas under the Local Government Act 1993 (NSW) for their rating purposes. These land valuation services are declared as government monopoly services under section 4 of the IPART Act 1992 (NSW). The current determination (2009 Determination) for the Valuer-General was released in July It sets maximum prices for the period 1 July 2009 to Monday 30 June The current review is to determine maximum prices to apply from Tuesday 1 July 2014 for the Valuer-General s land valuation services to councils (2014 Determination). IPART aims to set prices to recover an appropriate level of revenue needed to support its regulated services in an efficient and effective manner.

12 Planning Item 9: BPB Report on Building Certification and Regulation - Public Comment Sought The Building Professionals Board (BPB) is seeking public comment on a building certification and regulation report which has just been publicly released. The Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, the Hon. Brad Hazzard MP, engaged Mr George Maltabarow in March 2013 to review the building certification system in NSW. Mr Maltabarow (who became President of the BPB in June 2013) interviewed a range of industry stakeholders in conducting his review. His report, Building certification and regulation - serving a new planning system for NSW, was finalised in May 2013 and makes recommendations regarding reforms to the building certification system and how it will operate with the proposed new planning system. The report is structured with an analysis relating to the following issue areas: White Paper Directions and Priorities (Chapter 4) The Role of Certifiers (Chapter 7) The Importance of Boundaries and Empowering Councils (Chapter 8) Building and Consent Compliance Boundaries (Chapter 9) The Building Professionals Board (Chapter 10) The Building Sector a Consumer s View (Chapter 11) Date Submissions close on Monday 24 March 2014 Online information -your-say--building-certification-report- --submissions-close-24-march/ Further online information au/index.pl?action=view_job&job_id= 6356 Jane Partridge jane.partridge@lgnsw.org.au Ref: R90/ JP The key recommendation of the report is the appointment of three expert panels, as follows: i. To assess the regulatory impact of the White Paper proposals on building regulation. ii. iii. To deal with council empowerment and define the boundaries between private certifiers, council certifiers and councils; and To develop streamlined regulatory obligations and a practice guide for certifiers to define the scope of certification in respect to both BCA (Building Code of Australia) and consent compliance. Other recommendations in the report deal with process issues including: The withdrawal of recent changes to regulations relating to the issue of Occupation Certificates and mandating certifier contracts with owners Establishing more effective insurance arrangements Requesting that IPART determine an appropriate range of fees for private certifiers Restructuring the BPB and arrangements to secure coordination with other related government initiatives. The report can be downloaded from the BPB website (see fact box) and submissions can be made to the BPB until 24 March Local Government NSW Weekly 2/14 17 January 2014 Page 12
