The framework assists the Council to strategically address social issues it may face over the next 10 years and has been identified as a major planning priority for the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters and has underpinned development of the CityPlan 2030 Shaping Our Future which sets the direction for the next twenty years and beyond. http://www.npsp.sa.gov.au/site/page.cfm?u=1807 http://www.sapo.org.au/pub/pub17123.html DATE: Thursday, 1 May 2008 SUMMARY: This case study presents a three-tier Workforce Planning and Development Framework (the Framework) that encompasses effort at three levels: 1. the establishment of Children's Centres for Early Childhood Development and Parenting 2. the Early Childhood Development sector (currently known as Children's Services) 3. the Health and Community Services industry in South Australia. The need for the Framework was identified as a means of supporting a systematic approach to workforce development. The Framework provides an overarching direction that also enables more specific planning within and across each tier, and over a range of timeframes - immediate through to long term. The Framework integrates a three portfolio areas at State Government level, due to the South Australian Early Childhood Development Strategy (ECD Strategy) and its attendant Children's Centres being required to take a holistic approach to early childhood development by integrating health, education and family and children's services. http://www.sapo.org.au/pub/pub10405.html DATE: Monday, 18 February 2008 SUMMARY: Since 2003 there has been significant effort by the South Australian government to enhance Aboriginal peoplesÂ' employment outcomes in the public sector.

This has involved the development of a model that provides a range of indicators of social inclusion and exclusion that enables the measurement of change over time and promotes an increased understanding of the influence of social capital on social inclusion and exclusion. The measures developed are designed to be of use to Government in its planning and implementation of social inclusion initiatives in Northern Adelaide, and more broadly, to inform social inclusion policy development, implementation and evaluation. http://www.sapo.org.au/pub/pub7603.html DATE: Friday, 12 January 2007 SUMMARY: Social welfare performance indicators do not consider the equity implications of gross and net public expenditure. That is,governments may spend money in a given area to achieve social outcomes but also tax the same community in ways which moderate the effectiveness of social programs. This paper reports on a project that aims to deploy geographical information systems (GIS) to investigate these processes. The equity implications of gross and net public expenditure are considered in a discussion of the development of a process to map the impact of public expenditure on social exclusion. http://www.sapo.org.au/pub/pub5963.html DATE: Tuesday, 18 July 2006 SUMMARY: This report outlines the results of an evaluation of the South Australian Government's Energy Efficiency Program for Low Income Households.
