Vases
I resurrect vases from delicate shards Of breathy mist in the memory lagoon, Hidden in books and folded in cards Trapped in the dust of love’s cluttered rooms. Of breathy mist on the memory lagoon The butterfly’s wings are pieced together. Trapped in the dust of love’s cluttered rooms Birthmarks of time form beauty’s feather. The butterfly’s wings are pieced together Like a map of my mosaic mind Birthmarks of time form beauty’s feather New as the moment fates are realigned.
Nightcliff Seabreeze Festival On Saturday 30th April, Darwin City Council Libraries staff were at the Nightcliff Seabreeze Festival. Activities included: An information stall with all leaflets regarding both upcoming events and regular

A pirate themed craft activity for children. We provided pirate hat templates with slogans such as “I just raided the Library”, “Off to the Library, Me Hearties” and “I’m a Library Pirate”. The children were then invited to sit on colourful rugs and decorate their hats with glitter paint and feathers.
A pirate themed story time at the community village stage performed by real live pirate folk, the library staff.
Overall, our promotion was quite successful. We spoke to many adults about library services, signed up new members and provided story time to 20 children, at least half of whom did not usually attend story time at any of our libraries. We also, importantly, made ourselves visible as active members of the Nightcliff Community. CHILDREN AND YOUTH SERVICES April school holiday program The program of mosaic making workshops was held at each library and the sessions were fully booked for this popular craft activity. We invited local artist Janie to give the children an insight into the craft and each child finished their own creative mosaic tile with some families asking where they can buy supplies to do it at home. A very successful and fun time had by all. The Casuarina Library had films for children on three afternoons. A ‘Hop’ movie colouring competition was held at all libraries with prizes donated by Birch Carroll and Coyle cinemas. The Easter Bunny story times where held at all libraries and attracted big numbers. The children were very excited when the Easter Bunny appeared and all children were given a chocolate egg. On Thursday 14th April author Lolla Stewart launched her first picture book titled Savannah Dreams at Casuarina Library. Lolla read the book to the audience and then spoke about how she was thrilled to be able to share her experiences in the book, teaching in Arnhem Land communities. The Children and Youth Services Librarian purchased new book series for the youth collection as well as lots of new books for our junior collection and picture book collection. Fun Bus story times have recommenced at the City Library. Youth Week For Youth Week this year Darwin City Council Libraries held a Courtyard Bazaar on Friday 1st April which was the first event held in our new courtyard and was decorated with oriental looking lanterns made by our two youth groups (Red Hot Readers and Caught Red Handed). The Jewellery Recycled stand was very popular along with a Hip-Hop group called the Cyber X Crew dressed in cool looking costumes & masks and who put on an energetic dance routine. There was also an open mic with young performers, along with the Youth Services trainee, who serenaded the crowd with guitar playing.

The Australian Navy Cadets were engaged to cook a sausage sizzle. Aldermen Robin Knox, Garry Lambert, Allan Mitchell and Fred Marrone all attended, which was great, as well as a mixture of both older and younger youth. It was hard to get a fix on the numbers for the night, at one point we had 50 people there, but they were coming and going so it was hard to keep track. We estimate there were about 75 people all up.
Big Gig Libraries participated in the Big Gig. A 'Chill Out Zone', was set up which was the baby’s pool that had been emptied and heavy black curtains hung to provide shade for the TVs. We had the Playstation and the Wii set up and these were very well used throughout the day. We gave away lots of deleted youth books no longer required by the libraries and also information on our youth services. Our transfer tattoos seemed to be the highlight of our stand. Library staff were surrounded by youth all day and were pleased to be part of the day. KAOS: A ‘girls only night’ KAOS was held at Nightcliff Library this month. The activity was a 'Zine’ session teaching our participants how to create and illustrate a mini magazine or comic, with Manga type characters. Other activities included:
Twister and Connect 4 board games PCs Books! (not many but we pulled out the Signspotting books from the
non fiction area with signs written in 'English' - proved popular) Wii Sports on the Wii console, and Playstation’s Sing Star (a very popular
bonding exercise for the kids) A group of 20 students from Kormilda College attended on the night and feedback from the co-ordinator was that "some of our girls are never this outgoing or vibrant when back at the college with the boys”. The girls got right into girly songs and dancing with 'Sing Star’ and made the library their space. Many had never been into our libraries before. A number expressed an interest in becoming members and the co-ordinators were armed with promo material and membership forms for the parents to sign. The Young Territory Author Awards packages have been sent to all schools and public libraries in the Northern Territory. Entries close on 30th June. DISPLAYS: Story time theme displays at all libraries ‘Hop’ colouring competition entries on display Youth displays at all libraries Young Territory Author Awards displays at all libraries Author visit displays at all libraries Easter

4.5.3 Gateway to East Point Reserve
Funds have been allocated by Council to engage a consultant to undertake a project brief for a new Public Art work at the Gateway to East Point reserve. It was suggested that there is a fragmentation of projects connected to East Point and the Bombing of Darwin and that there needs to be a more planned approach to encompass projects, especially in light of new developments such as the Military Museum upgrade being proposed for East Point. The Committee asked that the Arts and Cultural Development Officer investigate these issues further.
4.6 2010 Darwin Recycled Art Festival – Evaluation Report

4.8 Facilities for Poster Placement - Update

It was questioned whether the provision of poster boards, as discussed by the Committee at its last meeting, was realistic considering they may only be useable in the dry season. The Committee suggested that Council could support a range of alternative means for disseminating arts information, e.g. electronic notice boards; Off the Leash (sponsorship for increased distribution); advocate for the use of bus shelters for ads in an electronic format; advocate for the provision of poster space within privately owned venues. The Chairperson will undertake to present these views when the issue is discussed by Council.

SUBJECT: NT HERITAGE DARWIN CBD HERITAGE WALK
ITEM NO: 9.9 SYNOPSIS: The Heritage Branch, Department of Natural Resources, Environment, The Arts and Sport (NRETAS) is developing a self guided Heritage Walk for the Darwin Central Business Area. Heritage Branch is keen to both provide information to Council and seek in principle support for the project, which may include signage in Council reserves. If it transpires that works are required on Council managed land or facilities, established procedures will be followed to Council’s satisfaction. GENERAL: Council Officers met with representatives of Heritage Branch on two occasions to discuss the background and concept of the proposed Walk. A number of factors have provided the impetus for the project including:
a need to update an existing self guided walk originally prepared by the National Trust and reprint the maps,
an interest in exploring web based resources with potential for iphone applications and;
a desire to enrich both resident and visitor understandings of the evolution of the City and encourage further independent exploration of areas of interest.
The Heritage Walk will provide an overview of key aspects in the evolution of the City from its natural and Indigenous history, the Goyder survey, waves of immigration, construction during the 1880s boom, the Bombing of Darwin, Cyclone Tracy up to contemporary events.

SUBJECT: DARWIN MILITARY MUSEUM PROPOSAL TO CONDUCT TOURS OF
THE GUN EMPLACEMENTS AT EAST POINT
ITEM NO: 9.10 SYNOPSIS: Dr Tom Lewis, Darwin Military Museum and Mr Philip Temple, consultant historian made presentation to 2nd Ordinary Council on 27 April 2011. The presentation outlined Darwin Military Museum’s (DMM) proposal to run guided tours of the Gun Emplacements and associated infrastructure at East Point. Darwin City Council is the land owner and responsible for general maintenance and/or providing access to the Heritage listed infrastructure. GENERAL: PREVIOUS DECISION Decision No. 20\3866 (27/4/11) That the presentation from the Darwin Military Museum, in relation to the Historical Military Tours, be received and noted. REPORT The DMM proposal to run guided tours of the currently closed areas of the gun emplacements would contribute to meeting Council’s strategic objective of promoting Darwin’s history and World War II experiences. The tours would access infrastructure which is not currently able to be visited, adding value to the Darwin tourist experience and local knowledge. In considering the proposal the critical aspects for Council relate to insurance, risk management and ensuring that any works undertaken are in keeping with the heritage status of the properties.
96
96
PAGE: 2 REPORT NUMBER: 11C0063 FR:kl SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR GUN EMPLACEMENTS AT EAST POINT Whilst the DMM presentation identified that insurance for the tours would be the responsibility of Darwin City Council, further conversation with Mr Philip Temple determined that insurance for the Tour would be taken out by the DMM through its existing broker. It is considered that this is the appropriate course of action and that the insurance should be cited by Council. It is proposed that risk management to the satisfaction of Darwin City Council form a prerequisite for approval. A preliminary assessment has been undertaken internally, however it is advisable that DMM undertake an assessment of the project to their insurer and Council’s satisfaction. Works to the properties may be required to reduce risk. Those works will need to be discussed with and approved by the Heritage Branch, Natural Resources, Environment, The Arts and Sport (NRETAS). FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Nil. STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLICATIONS: The issues addressed in this Report are in accordance with the following Goals/Strategies of the Darwin City Council 2008 – 2012 as outlined in the ‘Evolving Darwin Strategic Directions: Towards 2020 and Beyond’:- Goal 6 Promote Brand Darwin Outcome 6.2 Promote our Darwin city Key Strategies 6.2.1 Promote Darwin’s history, particularly its WWII experiences LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: Nil.

MARCH 2011, ARAFURA GAMES, AMBONESE NIGHT Ambonese Night Project Objective To promote the sister city relationship between Darwin and Ambon. Background The Darwin to Ambon Yacht Race is an annual event in which competitors sail from the Port of Darwin to Ambon. Despite the recent turmoil and lack of numbers in the race, the event is slowly beginning to grow in numbers. The Ambon Sister City Community Committee has previously sponsored a trophy for the race. There has been some discussion about holding an Ambonese Night in Darwin prior to the departure of the race. It is envisioned that this night will include cultural performances and displays of Ambon. Competitors, officials and other organisations involved with Ambon will be invited to the event. Project Plan The Sister Cities program will provide a static display on the night. The display will focus on the Darwin – Ambon relationship, but will also highlight our other sister city relationships. The Ambon Sister City Committee will contribute to the cultural performances of the evening by supporting an Ambonese artist in making the trip to Darwin to perform. The Ambon Sister City Community Committee will take a role in promoting the event through its networks. Stage Timeline Resources Organise and program the event

REPORT This report presents an update on the current status of membership for all Sister City Community Committees. This report discusses additional nominations, resignations and a prolonged leave of absence received since the original appointment of the current Committees in June 2010. The discussion also provides comment on Committee engagement techniques. Kalymnos Sister City Community Committee The Kalymnos Sister City Community Committee received only two nominations for the new term July 2010 until June 2012. Despite additional promotion and discussions with past members, these vacancies were unable to be filled. The two Committee members were contacted in August 2010 to determine a suitable time to meet. Members indicated that they had limited available time to meet and would prefer to commence involvement in the Committee in early 2011. The Kalymnos members expressed their own concerns at the lack of members. Since August 2010, two additional nominations for the Kalymnos Sister City Community Committee have been received. Both nominations were from previous members who had missed the nomination deadline. A Kalymnos Sister City Community Committee meeting was called for 9 February 2011, however quorum was unable to be achieved. The Senior Community Development Officer - Liveability continues to progress projects relating to Kalymnos by contacting past Committee members and other key contacts in the Darwin-Greek Community individually and on a needs basis. This has proved to be beneficial in building rapport and establishing networks. Anchorage Sister City Community Committee The Anchorage Sister City Community Committee began the July 2010 to June 2012 term with four community representative members with an additional member applying and being accepted in August 2010. The Anchorage Committee has been unable to achieve quorum since June 2010. As a result a new Chair has not yet been elected. Additionally, the previous Chair of the Committee has had to take an extended leave of absence for personal reasons. In November 2010, another member from the Anchorage Committee resigned. Anchorage is now left with three Community members whom the Senior Community Development Officer - Liveability
124

PAGE: 4 REPORT NUMBER: 11C055 HB:kl SUBJECT: SISTER CITY COMMUNITY COMMITTEES MEMBERSHIP contacts and meets individually on a needs basis to progress Anchorage related projects. Dili Sister City Community Committee The Dili Sister City Community Committee is active and meets regularly, however do not always achieve quorum at meetings. In late 2010 the Committee received an informal resignation from a member who could no longer attend due to personal reasons. Additionally in late 2010 via the corporate website, a community member expressed interest in filling the recent vacancy on the Dili Committee. This Community member has subsequently attended a Committee meeting and his nomination has been recommended by the Committee. In March 2011, the Dili Committee received another resignation from a Community representative. Haikou Sister City Community Committee There has been no change in membership for the Haikou Sister City Community Committee. Attendance at meetings is relatively good and like the other Committees occasionally does not have quorum. Ambon Sister City Community Committee There has been no change in membership for the Ambon Sister City Community Committee. The Ambon Committee has good rate for meeting attendance. Committee Meeting Cycle The following table outlines the number of meetings for each Committee where quorum was and wasn’t achieved. Table 1: Committee Meetings, quorum Meetings
where quorum was achieved
Meeting where quorum was not achieved
% of meetings where quorum was achieved
Ambon 4 2* 66% Anchorage 0 3 0% Dili 4 2 66% Haikou 4 2 66% Kalymnos 0 1 0% *one meeting was cancelled due to Cyclone Carlos Committees have between 4 and 8 members, and meetings are held at six weekly intervals. Should quorum not be achieved then it is almost 12 weeks before additional project recommendations can be made. This has been overcome by consulting with members out of session to get a general consensus.

125
PAGE: 5 REPORT NUMBER: 11C055 HB:kl SUBJECT: SISTER CITY COMMUNITY COMMITTEES MEMBERSHIP Engaging with Committee Members Committee members have indicated that email is their preferred contact method. Email has proved to be an effective tool when consulting with members about Committee projects. Rather than waiting until the next meeting, projects can be progressed at a greater rate by circulating information via email and inviting feedback. It is apparent that Committee members want to have input on recommendations, however due to ever increasing individual commitments, attending Committee meetings is not always a priority (on average quorum is achieved at 4 out of 6 meetings). Whilst email has proved to be useful, it is not the ideal online tool for Committee discussions and other contemporary engagement techniques such as skype, chat, online forums and facebook need to be explored to see if their capability matches the needs of the Committees. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no financial implications pertaining to the recommendations from this report. STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLICATIONS: The issues addressed in this Report are in accordance with the following Goals/Strategies of the Darwin City Council 2008 – 2012 as outlined in the ‘Evolving Darwin Strategic Directions: Towards 2020 and Beyond’:- Goal 6 Promote Brand Darwin Outcome 6.2 Promote our Darwin city Key Strategies 6.2.4 Strengthen international relationships through Sister Cities and other activities Goal 7 Demonstrate Effective, Open and Responsible Governance Outcome 7.2 Display strong and effective leadership, within Council and across
Government Key Strategies 7.2.3 Use contemporary community engagement techniques to inform decision
making LEGAL IMPLICATIONS: Appointments are made pursuant to the Local Government Act 2008.
