The past three years have seen a renewed focus on the management of asbestos, with the release of significant reports by the NSW Ombudsman in November 2010 and the Australian Government in June 2012. Current policy challenges include the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153third wave\u00e2\u20ac\u009d of asbestos related disease, implications of asbestos ageing and deteriorating, and potential expansion of the current \u00e2\u20ac\u0153risk management\u00e2\u20ac\u009d approach to a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153prioritised removal\u00e2\u20ac\u009d approach. Local government plays an integral role in the management of asbestos in the non-occupational environment. It does this through the exercise of its planning powers and through the implementation, and enforcement, of legislation regulating the safe removal and disposal of asbestos. This article analyses the current legislative regimes in New SouthWales, focusing on areas relevant to local government.<\/p>\n To purchase this article, complete the Individual Article Sale<\/a> order form and email it to tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n The question of locality: Case study \u00e2\u20ac\u201c development application for a bulk discount liquor outlet at East Nowra, NSW <\/i><\/b><\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u201c Alison Ziller<\/p>\n This article discusses the effect of treating \u00e2\u20ac\u0153locality\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as necessarily spatially small, rather than as a relative concept whose area is determined on the issues. In the case study, the applicant estimated a primary trade area of some 35,000 residents for a proposed packaged liquor outlet. At the same time the applicant defined the primary locality as an area within a 400 m radius of the site with 1,708 residents. A secondary locality was defined as within an 800m radius with 3,584 residents. The primary locality, as defined, excluded 95% of residents in the primary trade area, and the secondary locality excluded 90%. The judgement extended the locality somewhat, but excluded some 77% of residents in the primary trade area. Defining locality as spatially small excluded the majority of likely patrons, and substantially reduced the number of the liquor licences apparently in the locality and the extent of likely alcohol-related harms.<\/p>\n To purchase this article, complete the Individual Article Sale<\/a> order form and email it to tlranz.journal.orders@thomsonreuters.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n DIGEST OF CASES<\/a><\/p>\n LOCAL GOVERNMENT & PLANNING LAW GUIDE CASES<\/a><\/p>\n For the pdf version of the table of contents, click here: WAU – LGLJ Vol 18 Pt 4 Contents<\/a>.<\/p>\nArticles<\/h3>\n
