Annual Report 2004-05
Other relevant reporting
Public service ethics During 2004-05 our Department continued to meet all statutory and regulatory reporting requirements to Executive Government and Parliament. Staff displayed a strong commitment to ethical business practices and client service, and adherence to the Department’s Code of Conduct. The DLGPSR Code of Conduct is made available to all staff via the Department’s intranet and in hard copy form, and is outlined in detail to staff in induction and Code of Conduct training sessions.
Whistleblowers protection During 2004-05 our Department received no public interest disclosures, pursuant to sections 30-31 of the Whistleblowers Act 1994.
Energy and waste management Our Department is committed to the Government’s strategies to achieve efficient and cost-effective waste and energy management. We have a Waste Management Strategic Plan in place in accordance with the provisions of section 35 of the Environmental Protection (Waste Management Policy) 2000.
Recordkeeping The Document and Records Management Unit is responsible for facilitating best-practice recordkeeping within our Department. By maintaining a good records system we can make informed decisions and deliver information to internal and external clients in an easy, efficient manner.
Department of Local Government, Planning, Sport and Recreation
The Document and Records Management Unit provides: N
professional records management advice;
N
assists staff with physical file maintenance services;
N
assists with operational compliance of records management standards;
N
administers the Department’s recordkeeping system (TRIM);
N

Following the February 2004 State election and the subsequent machinery–of-Government changes, the Department of Local Government and Planning (DLGP) assumed responsibility for Sport and Recreation Queensland from the Department of Innovation and Information Economy, Sport and Recreation Queensland (DIIESRQ). This joining of areas formed the present Department of Local Government, Planning, Sport and Recreation (DLGPSR). In support of legislative requirements under the Public Records Act 2002, both the former Departments, DIIESRQ and DLGP had Strategic Recordkeeping Implementation Plans approved and endorsed by the State Archivist. An amalgamated Operational Recordkeeping Implementation Plan (ORIP) has now been developed to incorporate the goals and activities detailed in those documents. The ORIP is the high level operational plan for the implementation of Information Standard 40 (IS40) principles within DLGPSR. It identifies the critical activities, projects deliverables and responsibilities for ensuring that compliance with IS40 is achieved. In addition to this, all DLGPSR records management policies, procedures, action guides and recordkeeping data entry standards have been reviewed and updated to better reflect our new Department and respond to whole-of-Government standards.

Plumbers and Drainers Board
Local Government Services (Joint Planning Group) was established in late 2001 under the Queensland Bilateral Agreement for Housing and Infrastructure for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities (excluding Torres Strait).
The Board was established under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2002 to license plumbers and drainers. The Board provides for the health and safety of the Queensland community and the protection of the environment by ensuring tradespeople in plumbing and drainage have the appropriate levels of competency, implemented through a licensing system.

Shared service initiatives The Shared Service Initiative is a whole-of-Government approach to corporate services delivery which aims to provide high quality, cost-effective corporate services to Queensland State Government Departments. Shared service providers and CorpTech were established from 1 July 2003, through the consolidation of corporate service functions from Departments and existing shared service providers. Departments are grouped into seven clusters, each serviced by a dedicated shared service provider, with CorpTech providing services to five shared service providers. On 1 July 2003 the then Department of Local Government and Planning, transferred responsibility and staff for selected functions i.e. finance, human resources and procurement related to facilities management, to Corporate Solutions Queensland and CorpTech. Additional corporate services transitioned on 1 October 2004 including, document and records management, property and facilities management and telecommunications. The Department of Employment and Training hosts Corporate Solutions Queensland as a separate entity, and will report on its activities in its 2004-05 Annual Report.

Local Government Services (Joint Planning Group)
Plumbers and Drainers Board
Local Government Services (Joint Planning Group) was established in late 2001 under the Queensland Bilateral Agreement for Housing and Infrastructure for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities (excluding Torres Strait).
The Board was established under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2002 to license plumbers and drainers. The Board provides for the health and safety of the Queensland community and the protection of the environment by ensuring tradespeople in plumbing and drainage have the appropriate levels of competency, implemented through a licensing system.
Consisting of 11 Indigenous representatives, its primary role was to provide advice to both Commonwealth and Queensland Governments in relation to issues affecting Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure in Queensland. The Bilateral Agreement and the Joint Planning Group ceased at 30 June 2005.
Multicultural Women’s Advisory Committee The Multicultural Women’s Advisory Committee provides advice to the Minister for Local Government, Planning and Women to ensure that the goals of Women in the Smart State Directions Statement 2003-2008 are accessible to, and take into consideration, the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse women.
Multicultural Women’s Advisory Committee in collaboration with the Office for Women held the Multicultural Women’s Leadership Summit, attended by 92 women of culturally diverse backgrounds.

Shared service initiatives The Shared Service Initiative is a whole-of-Government approach to corporate services delivery which aims to provide high quality, cost-effective corporate services to Queensland State Government Departments. Shared service providers and CorpTech were established from 1 July 2003, through the consolidation of corporate service functions from Departments and existing shared service providers. Departments are grouped into seven clusters, each serviced by a dedicated shared service provider, with CorpTech providing services to five shared service providers. On 1 July 2003 the then Department of Local Government and Planning, transferred responsibility and staff for selected functions i.e. finance, human resources and procurement related to facilities management, to Corporate Solutions Queensland and CorpTech. Additional corporate services transitioned on 1 October 2004 including, document and records management, property and facilities management and telecommunications. The Department of Employment and Training hosts Corporate Solutions Queensland as a separate entity, and will report on its activities in its 2004-05 Annual Report.
