2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Not applicable.

3 PURPOSE OF REPORT

The purpose of this report is to inform Council of the content of Gold Coast Planning Scheme 2003 Minor Amendment No. 3, and obtain Council endorsement of the proposed Minor Amendments (with the exception of Item 6 to be discussed) to commence with Version 1.2 of the Planning Scheme 2003. Council is yet to endorse a commencement date for Version 1.2 of the Planning Scheme 2003.

4 PREVIOUS RESOLUTIONS

The following Strategic Growth Management Committee recommendation dated 12 July 2007 (Minute number SG07.0724.001) was adopted by Council at it’s meeting of 6 August 2007 (Minute number G07.0806.010):

That a report be brought back to the Strategic Growth Management Committee in relation to infrastructure charges for family accommodation and home occupation.

In preparing a response to the above resolution, Council’s Infrastructure Plan Unit conducted an analysis of Infrastructure Charges Notices (ICN) that have been issued with approved Home Occupation and Family Accommodation approvals, and have found a reduction in the trip end generation rate for Home Occupations (used to calculate Transport infrastructure charges) is warranted.

As will be discussed in this report, an amendment to the PIP as it relates to trip end generation rate for Home Occupations is proposed as part of this Minor Amendment package (see Item 5).

5 DISCUSSION

Gold Coast Planning Scheme 2003 Minor Amendment Package No. 3 includes ‘Minor Amendments’ as defined by Schedule 10 of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (refer to Section 6 of this report). A copy of Minor Amendment Package No. 3 is attached to this report proposing changes to the Planning Scheme of the following nature:

Item 1 Formatting and editing of Part 8 – Infrastructure

The formatting of Gold Coast Planning Scheme 2003 Part 8 - Infrastructure has been edited to be consistent with the rest of the Planning Scheme. Other minor editing changes are proposed to remove duplication of document references.


ITEM 1 (Continued) PROPOSED MINOR AMENDMENT TO GOLD COAST PLANNING SCHEME 2003 (VERSION 1.1 AMENDED JANUARY 2007) – MINOR AMENDMENT PACKAGE NO. 3 PD113/106/10/13 (P1); PD113/106/10/03 (P1)

Item 2 Correction of trip end generation rates in Part 8 – Infrastructure

Table 2.24 and Appendix A - Table 2.27 density codes RD2, RD3 and RD4 trip end generation rates are required to be amended as they are presently incorrect.

Item 3 Consequential amendment to Part 8 – Infrastructure in response to Amendment Packages No. 2 & 3

The following Items within the consolidated Amendment Packages No. 2 and 3 trigger consequential amendments to existing factual business systems and GIS data of the Priority Infrastructure Plan;

� Item 61: Broadbeach Local Area Plan; � Item 62: Coolangatta Local Area Plan; and � Item 63 Amendment to Domain Map – Darlington 43

Further details of the changes triggered by each of the above Items are provided in the attached Minor Amendment Package.

Item 4 Changes to explanatory matters within Part 8 – Infrastructure

A number of changes are proposed to Part 8 - Infrastructure, Division 2 Infrastructure Charges Schedule and Division 3 Reference Documentation, to clarify issues raised by stakeholders and avoid any further misinterpretation.

Item 5 Trip end review for Home Occupation within Part 8 – Infrastructure

This minor amendment is a correction to the Trip Ends for Home Occupation land use category in Part 8 Infrastructure, Table 2-7.

Item 6 Corrections to demand density and rates within Part 8 – Infrastructure

This minor amendment is a correction to the demand density and rates in Appendix A Table 2.27 Local Area Plans and Table 2.28 Structure Plans as some of the sub-precincts were assigned incorrect densities and some of them were not included in the current PIP. This change will make PIP consistent with the current Planning Scheme 2003 (V1.1 amended January 2007) and V1.2 of the Planning Scheme 2003 when it commences (commencement date yet to be endorsed by Council).

Item 7 Corrections to formatting, grammar and referencing across the entire Gold Coast Planning Scheme 2003

In preparation for the commencement of Version 1.2 of the Planning Scheme 2003, Council’s City Plan Unit have reformatted the existing Planning Scheme document with the intention of removing existing inconsistencies and errors in formatting, grammar and referencing. The Minor Amendments have been logged during the reformatting process and will be incorporated in Version 1.2 of the Planning Scheme.

Item 8 Amendments to Overlay Map 3 – Heritage Buildings & Sites



Item 9 Minor Amendment to Planning Scheme Policy 18 – Using the Urban Design Bonus Provisions

Item 62 of the Council adopted Planning Scheme amendments (consolidated Amendments 2 & 3 and Minor Amendments 1 & 2), includes a new Coolangatta Local Area Plan (LAP) which replaces the existing Coolangatta LAP (Version 1.1 January 2007). The new Coolangatta LAP will be included in Version 1.2 of the Planning Scheme 2003 when it commences.

The endorsed Coolangatta LAP (V1.2) creates several new precincts, resulting in a renumbering of existing Precincts (e.g. Precinct 4 is now Precinct 8). This creates a need for a consequential amendment to Planning Scheme Policy 18 – Using the Urban Design Bonus Provisions. Specifically, Section 3.9 of Policy 18 needs to be amended to now state ‘Precinct 8’, where previously ‘Precinct 4’ was stated.

6 STATUTORY MATTERS

The proposed Gold Coast Planning Scheme 2003 Minor Amendment Package No. 3 has been prepared in accordance with the following sections of the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (IPA);

� Schedule 1 - Process for making or amending Planning Schemes; � Schedule 3 – Process for making or amending Planning Scheme Policies; and � Schedule 10 – definition of ‘minor amendment’, stated as follows;

‘minor amendment, of a planning instrument, means an amendment correcting or changing— (a) an explanatory matter about the instrument; or (b) the format or presentation of the instrument; or (c) a grammatical or mapping error in the instrument; or (d) a factual matter incorrectly stated in the instrument; or (e) redundant or outdated terms.’

7 CORPORATE/OPERATIONAL PLAN

The proposed amendments contribute to the Council’s Strategic Priorities identified in the Corporate Plan 2005 – 2009 as follows:

� Strategic Priority 9 - City Assets

9.1.2 Assets are planned, created and managed to minimise whole of life costs and maximise value (economic, social and environmental) to the city whilst maintaining their defined level of service and safety; and

2. In Section 11.4, include ‘(determined as of June 2005)’ at the end of the dot point ‘costs were based upon replacement costs’

3. In Section 12.5, amend Table 2- 20 SDU Conversion Rates for Different Development Types to add the ‘Total Use Area (TUA)’ as an assessment unit in the ‘Non residential Use’ section of the table, as follows:

Non-Residential Use Per 100M2 GFA/TUA ETs per 100M2 GFA/TUA for each SLA (below)

4. In Section 13.3 and Section 14.0. replace steps 3 and 4 with steps 3 to 5 as follows: � Step 3 Determine Charge Rate/s � Step 4 Determine Rebates � Step 5 Calculate Infrastructure Charges

5 In Section 14.1, add the statement in brackets ‘(Excluding any developable area covered by Special Cases ROLs – Large Lots calculation)’ for the Stormwater network under ‘Determine GCCC Planned Demand’ as follows:

Network Calculation Area

Item 5 Trip end review for Home Occupation within Part 8 – Infrastructure

Explanation

An analysis of currently issued Infrastructure Charges Notices (ICNs) for ‘Home Occupation’ approvals was undertaken to determine if the trip end generation rates for Home Occupation were higher than the anticipated demand in the PIP. The ‘Working from Home’ Specific Development Code in the Planning Scheme 2003 was used to determine the trip ends generation.

The investigation suggested that the trip ends generation should be reduced from 40 Trip Ends per Day for 100 sq m of Total Use Area to 28 Trip Ends per Day for 100 sq m of Total Use Area for Home Occupation. The comparisons are detailed in Table 1 Comparison of Trip Ends – Land Use Category.

Table 1 Comparison of Trip Ends – Land Use Category as follows:

SerialNo.

Land Use Category Current trip ends Reviewed trip ends

1 Home Occupation in Table 2-7

40 / day for 100 sq m of Total Use Area

28 / day for 100 sq m of Total Use Area

The reviewed trip ends of 28/day for 100sqm of Total Use Area is currently being applied to all development applications. Former approvals have been adjusted and applicants advised of the changes.

A minor amendment is required to reflect the new trip end rate.

Text Changes

In Part 8 - Infrastructure, Table 2-7, amend the trip ends rate for Home Occupation from ‘40 / day for 100sqm of Total Use Area’ to ‘28 / day for 100 sq m of Total Use Area’.



Item 6 Corrections to demand density and rates within Part 8 – Infrastructure

Explanation

It is proposed to correct demand density and rates in Appendix A Table 2.27 Local Area Plans and Table 2.28 Structure Plans, to correct the error and make densities consistent with Planning Scheme. Some of the sub-precincts in Coolangatta, Coomera, Nerang and Guragunbah Local Area Plans are incorrectly stated and are not included in the PIP. Inner Urban Break Structure Plan is also not included in the PIP. This amendment needs to be reflected in any of the previously issued ICNs.

The changes are required to be reflected in the GIS data and the Priority Infrastructure Plan business system. Both databases will be altered once the proposed amendments are endorsed.

The proposed amendment is considered to be a Minor Amendment as defined by Schedule 10 of the IPA pursuant to paragraph (d) in that the amendment is correcting a factual matter incorrectly stated in the instrument.

Item 8 Amendments to Overlay Map 3 – Heritage Buildings & Sites

Explanation

The Gold Coast Planning Scheme 2003 (Version 1.1 amended January 2007) does not accord with the State Government’s Queensland Heritage Register due to the addition, relocation and removal of heritage sites and their adjoining properties. This proposed ‘minor amendment’ item seeks to correct relevant parts of the Planning Scheme 2003 to ensure consistency with State Policy and will result in the amendment of the Overlay Map OM3 – Heritage Buildings and Sites. The amendments include the addition of sites to the OM3 series, removal of sites from the OM3 series and correcting the mapping layers. Where a site is proposed to be removed from the OM3 series and is identified below as either ‘incorrect location’ or ‘relocated’, the correct location/new location of these heritage sites were previously endorsed as ‘minor amendments’ in Item 88 of Councils adopted Planning Scheme Amendments incorporating Amendments 2 & 3 and Minor Amendments 1 & 2.

The proposed amendment is a ‘minor amendment’ as defined by Schedule 10 of the IPA as the amendment is changing a mapping error or correcting a factual matter incorrectly stated in the Planning Scheme 2003.

Item 9 Minor Amendment to Planning Scheme Policy 18 – Using the Urban Design Bonus Provisions

Explanation

Item 62 of the Council adopted Planning Scheme amendments (consolidated Amendments 2 & 3 and Minor Amendments 1 & 2), includes a new Coolangatta Local Area Plan (LAP) which replaces the existing Coolangatta LAP (Version 1.1 January 2007). The new Coolangatta LAP will be included in Version 1.2 of the Planning Scheme 2003 when it commences.

The endorsed Coolangatta LAP (V1.2) creates several new precincts, resulting in a renumbering of existing Precincts (e.g. Precinct 4 is now Precinct 8). This creates a need for a consequential amendment to Planning Scheme Policy 18 – Using the Urban Design Bonus Provisions. Specifically, Section 3.9 of Policy 18 needs to be amended to now state ‘Precinct 8’, where previously ‘Precinct 4’ was stated.

The proposed amendment is a ‘minor amendment’ as defined by Schedule 10 of the IPA as it corrects an outdated term.

Text Changes

In Policy 18 – Using the Urban Design Bonus Provisions, amend Section 3.9 – ‘Pedestrian Facilities in the Coolangatta LAP’, replace all reference to ‘Precinct 4’ with ‘Precinct 8’.

ITEM 2 PLANNING ENVIRONMENT & TRANSPORT QUEENSLAND FINAL OF SCHOOL SOLAR BOAT CHALLENGE HELD ON GOLD COAST IN 2007 PD113/49/- (P5)


Not applicable.

2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Not applicable.

3 PURPOSE OF REPORT

This report presents an analysis of Council’s support for the 2007 Solar Boat Challenge – Queensland final held on the Gold Coast. The Solar Boat Challenge was both a school based education program as well as a culminating event. As part of the agreement with Council to fund and coordinate the Challenge the winning schools were sponsored to go to Sydney to compete in the national final. Each won their respective sections.

ITEM 2 (Continued) QUEENSLAND FINAL OF SCHOOL SOLAR BOAT CHALLENGE HELD ON GOLD COAST IN 2007 PD113/49/-(P5)

5 DISCUSSION

In 2007 Mr Tim Levy, Director of SEES (Society, Economy Environment Sustainability) contacted Council and the Mayor to discuss developing an education program and event on the Gold Coast that would be the Queensland final for the Solar Boat Challenge program. SEES, a not for profit group limited by guarantee, conducted the first International Challenge with Penrith City Council at the Sydney International Regatta Centre. Penrith City Council’s report of the event was positive.

On the 20th of August 2007 Gold Coast City Council agreed to support and fund the first Solar Boat Challenge education program and culminating event for the city. Funding of $30,000 was provided for SEES to recruit and support local schools in the program and to conduct the culminating event. The funding from Council awarded $1000 to the winning schools to assist with travel costs to attend the national Solar Boat Challenge final. SEES were to also seek local sponsors to assist with providing a boat-kit and education pack to 25 Gold Coast schools.

5.1 Solar Boat Challenge 2007 – Post Event Analysis

A detailed breakdown of costs for the Solar Boat Challenge is provided in a report to the Events Committee as part of the post event analysis (Attachment A – Solar Boat Challenge 2007 Post Report to SCF Committee :Tracks#22899080). In addition to the funding supplied by Council, SEES obtained additional sponsorship of $24,000 from Roland DG for both the Queensland and national Solar Boat Challenge events. Riviera Marine were also national sponsors of the event and supplied piloted craft for schools to hire.

Twenty three (23) schools were recruited and supplied with resource kits and participated in the program by developing boats and using the education package. However, only six of those schools were able to attend the culminating event in Lake Orr at Bond University on Saturday 13th October 2007. The proximity of school holidays prevented teachers from some of those schools from obtaining approval from the school and parents for a weekend activity.

The participating schools in the Solar Boat Challenge Program were: � Ashmore Primary School � Belleview Primary School � Coombabah Primary School � Currumbin Valley Primary School � Elanora State High School � Emmanuel College � Helensvale State High School � Marymount College � Merrimac State High School � Merrimac State School � Miami State High School � Mudgeeraba Creek State School � Mudgerabah Primary � Ormiston College � Palm Beach Currumbin State High School



� Palm Beach Primary � Robina State High School � Southport State High School � St Hilda's School � The Southport School � Trinity Lutheran College � William Duncan Primary School � Worongary Primary School

The six schools that attended the culminating final day were: � Elanora State High School � Palm Beach State Primary � Merrimac State School � Emannuel College � Southport State High School � Ormiston College

Both winning schools, Palm Beach State Primary School and Elanora State High from the Gold Coast went on to compete in Sydney and won a number of awards in their respective events from a field a some 50 schools from Australia (QLD, NSW, WA) and New Zealand.

Palm Beach State Primary: � Gold - National Remote Control Primary School Cup; � Gold - National Overall Race Winner Primary School Cup and � National VISA Best Graphic Design - Primary Division

Elanora State High: � Bronze - National Remote Control Secondary School Cup � Gold - National Sprint Race � Silver - National Endurance Race � Gold – National Slalom Race

The program and event on the Gold Coast received national exposure (Channel 9 - Groovedelicious, Channel 10 - Totally Wild) and local exposure (Channel 9 news, Gold Coast Bulletin and Gold Coast Sun). The participating schools and the Queensland Education Department (Mr Cam Mckenzie and Mr Jim Rebgetz ) considered the concept of the program and the culminating event a worthwhile exercise. Below outlines the responses from the survey conducted by Council staff:

� Approximately 100 people attended the final day of which 30 were surveyed.

� Data collected showed that attendees were from the Gold Coast and 56% were under 17 years of age. 76% of those under 17 years of age attended the event to compete

� 3% of attendees attended the event on their own, 97% were with another person or relative, with most sharing transport.

� 57% of the survey attendees were very satisfied with the event. No person surveyed was either very dissatisfied or dissatisfied.



� 41% surveyed were concerned about the lack of amenities at the venue

� 24% were concerned about public transport access to the venue.

� 41% liked the organization of the event, 28% thought the organization was the worst feature.

� 97% of those surveyed gave a likely to very likely response when asked if they would attend the event if it were run again this year and stated they would recommend it to others.

� General feed back from teachers was that early notice of the next program and event is necessary to allow it to be better incorporated in the teaching year.

� The teachers also recommended that the event be on a weekday to facilitate school participation.

As SEES is based in Sydney, it required the active support of Council and a local liaison person to assist in planning and running the final event. SEES contracted GECKO (Mr. Dominic Farnworth) to be the local contact and liaison with the schools. Feedback from Mr Farnworth indicated that the Solar Boat Challenge was able to draw upon his network of contacts and on the schools that have participated in Council’s Sustainability Challenge on the Gold Coast for support. The resource kits and education packs were well received by schools and made the inclusion of the program into set curricula easier for teachers. There was some confusion with the schools between SEES contacting them directly rather than operating through their local agent Mr. Farnworth.

The final event site, Lake Orr at Bond University, was adequate. However, it required significant preparation to ensure safe access to the water by the students. It is not available in 2008 due to construction work at the University.

The 2007 event was a success despite the smaller than expected turnout on the day with only 9 of the 25 schools attending. However, the success of the program and the momentum that the event has created within schools and industry regionally has been outstanding.

5.3 Solar Boat Challenge 2008 - What Is Required?

Over 40 schools across the Southeast Queensland region have expressed an interest direct to SEES to participate in a 2008 event. These schools are listed in Table 5.2.

In addition to the interest of schools across the region, Ms Helen Cave (Regional Industry Career Adviser for the Australian Industry Group, an independent industry body), and Mr John Gilders (Career Advisor SCISCO Career Pathways) are interested in partnering to support the event. Those agencies are funded by the Federal and State Governments to assist students to connect with industry.



Table 5.2 Schools Interested in Solar Boat Challenge 2008 Region School Gold Coast Ashmore State School

Belleview State School Coombabah State School Currumbin Valley State School Elanora State High School Emmanuel College Helensvale State High School Marymount College Merrimac College Merrimac State High School Merrimac State School Miami State High School Mudgeeraba Creek State School Mudgerabah State School Palm Beach Currumbin State High School Palm Beach State School Robina State High School Southport State High School St Andrews Anglican College St Hildas Trinity Lutheran College TS Tyalgum Australian Navy Cadets William Duncan State School Worongary State School

Regional Chanel College Christian Outreach College Brisbane Coolum State School Harristown Heights College Home School Northside Christian College Ormiston College Redbank Plains State High School Shalom College St Andrews Anglican College St Dympnas St Mary’s Primary School St Pauls School Virginia State School Home School (2)

Ms Cave is currently contacting regional industry leaders for national finals sponsorship. Mr Gilders has already obtained the interest of TAFE Event Management students and teachers to use the Queensland final event as supervised in-course training providing event management and coordination leading up to and during the day. In addition Mr Jim Rebgetz (Numbinbah Environmental Education Centre) is planning solar education workshops for regional schools.



Negotiations with SEES to move the national final to the Gold Coast have progressed, however SEES has current arrangements with Parramatta City Council that preclude consideration of changing the home of the national final to the Gold Coast this year. Further negotiations with SEES would be appropriate if the program is approved for funding or support (or both) by Council for 2008.

Negotiations with SEES for the 2008 program propose SEES run the program for a cost of $17,000 to Council and Council run the final event, using an event coordinator or similar at a cost of $8,000 as detailed in Table 5.3.

This proposal means that SEES will provide:

� The first point of contact through our national switch, email etc – with referral back to the GCCC event coordinator.

� The administration of the schools, including PDF’s, entry process, rules, web site – everything it takes to involve a school in the program.

� Promotional material including banners on the day and recognition of GCCC as the licensing Queenland partner.

� Connection with other Queensland partners: Riviera, The Australian Schools Industry Partnership, and Alfex CNC.

� Up to three (3) representatives on the race day to work with the local event coordinator and volunteers managing:

o the remote control division and technical scrutineering (potentially Marcus Adler – SEES Director)

o the administration - registration, presentation judging, points and awards (potentially Tim Levy SEES Director)

o the Wire Guided Challenge –should this be run.

The $17,000 cost to Council for the program does not propose any further SEES boat kits be provided to schools. Twenty five schools already have kits from last year and all are interested in participating in an event this year. New schools can buy their own kit at $440 (including GST) plus postage. It is SEES intention to work together with the emerging local partners to arrange sponsorship of these kits for schools where required.

The GCCC run final event is proposed for 11th September 2008 at the Evandale Parklands Lake. Council would be responsible for:

� Event Coordination � Volunteers � Insurance � Registration and dignitaries area � Appropriate shelter (large marquees) � One (1) table and four (4) chairs for each school team � Basic sausage sizzle � Adequate parking for the schools � Toilets and change rooms � Media liaison and promotion locally



The Lake at Evandale Parklands provides a sufficient body of water with safe access and well maintained amenities to host the Solar Boat Challenge final. The proximity to public transport, central location and adequate parking for cars and buses at Evandale makes it a preferred site for any future events. Parking is limited though, and should the event be held mid-week, which is the preference of the school’s surveyed during the 2007 event.

The Arts Restaurant and terrace – adjacent to the lake - provides an excellent registration area and host space for any dignitaries and media. The terrace would provide space for scrutineering and judging of design. Booking the venue ensures that there will be parking for the schools on a weekday at the Evandale site. A breakdown of the cost of the proposed Evandale event is below.

Table 5.3 Additional Costs direct to Council for Solar Boat Challenge 2008 Item CostArts Restaurant and Terrace $1000Extra bins and toilets $1000Marquees,Tables and Chairs for schools $3000Advertising or the event $3000Total $8000

The indicative increase in school’s wishing to participate in any event held this year and potential growth of the event across the region, supports an approach to State Government to co-sponsor the program and event. In particular this may ensure that winning schools will be able to travel to the national finals in Sydney. It is recommended that Council, via the Mayor’s office, contact the Minister for Education regarding a co-funding relationship for the event for at least the next two years with a view to securing the national final for the Gold Coast. Local industry should be approached to sponsor trophies and travel costs for winners.

Why Be Involved?

� Solar power is a renewable energy source that is supported by Council’s Carbon Neutral 2020 document

� Supporting the event is compatible with Council’s intent to develop a Climate Change Strategy focused on Council and community mitigation and adaptation

� Council will be seeking opportunities during the 2008/2009 financial year to engage with the public on issues of climate change during its Climate Change Strategy development

� Solar power ties into the Bold Future “Energy” theme.

12 TIMING

Support for the program needs to be confirmed by the end of June 2008 to allow schools adequate time to integrate the challenge into lessons.


Not applicable.

14 CONCLUSION

The 2007 program and event was a success overall and there is new interest in the program and event (over 40 schools from across the Southeast Queensland region) for 2008.

The proposal for 2008 is less onerous for Council because of the coordination of the program offered by SEES and the emerging partners in industry and the community.



The benefit of being involved in the program and event extends beyond education and community support. It is an event that has a significant relationship to some of Council’s key priorities and projects for the coming financial year (Carbon Neutral 2020, the Climate Change Strategy and Bold Future).

2. That the full consultation report will be provided by AEC Group to the Bold Future Advisory Committee in July 2008.

5 DISCUSSION

(A) Meetings

The minutes of the Bold Future Advisory Committee meetings held on 21 January, 12 March and 7 May 2008 are attached and are self-explanatory.

Council should note that, at its meeting of 7 May, the Advisory Committee specifically resolved that Council note that the Bold Future Advisory Committee welcomes Councillor attendance at its meetings and appreciates the continued support of Councillors and their engagement in the Bold Future process.

In addition to the formal meetings, members of the Advisory Committee participated in workshops on 5 December and 27 February, and an informal working session on 4 April 2008.


ITEM 3 (Continued) BOLD FUTURE ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT NO 2 LG115/1094(P4)

The Committee has now received presentations and given preliminary consideration to the following six Bold Future themes, which it will revisit in a more holistic way at its workshop on 28 May.

� Our Economic Future � Our Energy Future � Our Environmental Future � Our Beaches Future � Our Community Future � Our Cultural Future

The Committee will consider the Our Transport Future theme on 18 June, and the Our Water Future and Our Land Use Future themes on 9 July; it will then revisit all nine themes at a workshop to be held on 6 August.

(B) Survey Responses

Broad public consultation commenced with the project launch on 15 October 2007 and conclude at the end of May 2008. As at 9 May 2008, Council had received a highly successful response rate of a total 10,761 responses, of which 9,165 responses have been data entered, reviewed and considered ‘useable’ by market research firm AEC Group (the research firm that has been engaged to impartially collate and analyse Bold Future information received in both hard copy and from the web survey). The difference in these two figures is largely made up of those survey forms that have been started but not fully completed, are completed incorrectly or are duplicate entries, so are not considered ‘useable’ for the purposes of the formal analysis of the data.

AEC Group will be analysing the data during June – July 2008 and will present its final consultation analysis report to the Bold Future Advisory Committee at its meeting of 9 July 2008.
