International Cities, Town Centres and Communities Conference - Call for Speakers

 

Introduction
The purpose of this report is to request the Council’s consideration as to whether it wishes to nominate an Elected Member to present at the 19th International Cities, Town Centres and Communities Conference to be held on 23 – 25 October 2019 in Townsville.

 

Background
The International Cities, Town Centres and Communities Conference (ICTC) brings together a diverse cross section of city leaders and urban place professionals – from those who lead and plan cities and town centres right through to those who implement and manage them on the ground.

 

Conference organisers encourage representatives from Local, State and Federal Government to attend who have interests in planning, urban design, development, economic development, place making, infrastructure and transport.

 

This year’s conference program includes, keynote speakers from the United States, Europe, United Kingdom, Asia, Australia and New Zealand; over 50 interactive presentations over two days; masterclasses, workshops and keynote panel sessions; place making and smart city special interest group meetings, city activation/revitalisation, tourism and smart city field trips; and city innovation showcase and networking opportunities.


Call for Speakers

The ICTC is seeking interest from speakers to present on the latest trends, provide case studies and projects from different sized cities, towns and places within the two day session program.

 

The following topics are the focus for the conference:

·    Innovation and Economic Development

·    Place Making and Retail

·    Transport, Housing and Development

·    Urban Revitalisation and Design

·    Sustainable, Healthy and Safe Communities

 

If the Council decides to nominate an Elected Member to speak at the ICTC conference it is suggested that Connected Hobart, the City’s response to the development of a Smart Cities program for Hobart, be showcased.  It is proposed that a council officer would also attend the ICTC conference to provide support to the Elected Member.

 

Connected Hobart is about improving access to the information and data the City needs to help Hobart become Australia’s most economically, socially and environmentally connected community by 2030 and would prove to be a worthy project to share at the ICTC Conference.

 

Speakers are invited to submit a 200-350 word abstract for consideration by the conference organisers with submissions required to be provided by 10 May.

 

Financial Considerations
If the Council was accepted to present at the conference, the total estimated cost for registration, accommodation and flights would be approximately $2,050 for the Elected Member.  This amount consists of the following:

 

·    Subsidised registration fee of $795 (ICTC member full registration fee ranges between $1000 (early bird) and $1,200 (standard));

·    Four nights’ accommodation in a king room at the Ville Resort costing $185 per night ($740);

·    Return flights with QANTAS and Virgin Australia which are currently in the vicinity of between $600 and $800. 

 

Elected Members are advised that in accordance with section D of the Elected Member Development and Support Policy, this activity does not constitute professional development.

 

It is anticipated that similar costs would apply to the supporting Council officer.

 

REcommendation

That:

1.      The Council determine whether it wishes to nominate an Elected Member, supported by an appropriate Council officer, to present at the International Cities, Town Centres and Communities Conference to be held on 23 – 25 October 2019 in Townsville.

2.      If the Council determines it wishes to nominate an Elected Member to present at the International Cities, Town Centres and Communities Conference, Connected Hobart, be the subject of the presentation.

 

 


 

As signatory to this report, I certify that, pursuant to Section 55(1) of the Local Government Act 1993, I hold no interest, as referred to in Section 49 of the Local Government Act 1993, in matters contained in this report.
