The Cradle Coast Authority was created in February 2000 by the local government authorities of Burnie City, Central Coast, Circular Head, Devonport City, Kentish, King Island, Latrobe, Waratah-Wynyard and West Coast and to drive economic development in the Cradle Coast Region of northwest Tasmania. The Authority is a joint authority under the provisions of the Local Government Act, 1993 and can exercise the powers of a local government authority for the benefit of the Cradle Coast Region, its member councils or any other council, government entity or business. The Authority’s primary role is to identify priorities for sustainable development of the region, its community and economy, and to broker partnerships between the different levels of government, industry and community groups to address these priorities on a regional scale. The Authority is currently engaged in a wide range of regional initiatives across fields including: • • • • • •
Tourism Natural Resource Management Industry Development Infrastructure Development Education and Training Community and Cultural Development
The Authority’s member Councils contribute to its annual budget for core operations. All regional development activities are funded through partnerships and funding agreements with other bodies. The Authority has formal partnership agreements with all levels of government, including the Commonwealth Government through the Sustainable Regions Program and the State Government through the Cradle Coast Partnership Agreement.

Chief Representative’s Report As Chief Representative, it is my pleasure to report on the Cradle Coast Authority’s performance in 2003-04 from a shareholder perspective, representing the nine member Councils that created the Authority and have continued to support it, on behalf of their ratepayers, over the last four years. The region’s Councils provided $663 443 for the Authority’s core operations in 2003-04, covering the annual costs of maintaining its Board, core staff, office and administration systems. Using these resources, the Authority has continued to identify and respond to the region’s needs through a combination of advocacy, strategic partnerships and externally funded projects. The total value of regional development projects and activities underway in 2003-04 was over $24 million, or around $37 in external funds for every $1 invested by the Authority’s members in 2003-04. These activities include the 54 regional initiatives summarized in this report under the general headings of Tourism, Natural Resource Management, Industry Development, Infrastructure Development, Education and Training and Community and Cultural Development. Many of these projects were developed and completed within the 2003-04 financial year. Others were components of longer-term planning and implementation processes spanning several years. Only projects with significant achievements and resource commitments in 2003-04 are shown in this report. Major achievements in 2003-04 included infrastructure projects such as the demolition of the former Burnie Hospital, the construction of the Dismal Swamp Maze and Visitor Centre at Togari and the creation, for the first time, of themed touring routes for visitors to our region. Less visible, but equally significant, achievements include establishment of career planning and transition support services for primary and secondary students in 63 schools across the region, development of an unified regional response to the Mersey Hospital crisis and the State’s hospitals review, and successful lobbying for Federal commitments to upgrade the Bass Highway at Sisters Hills. None of this would have been possible without financial and other inputs from the 59 partner organizations listed in this report, and the many committed individuals who contributed to the success of these projects, and the life of this region, through their work with the Authority in 2003-04. On behalf of the Authority’s member Councils, I thank these partners for their investment in this region in 2003-04, and congratulate the Board and staff for building the Authority’s reputation as a competent and credible partner for government, industry and community organizations to work with. From a shareholder perspective, the Authority delivered a strong return on investment in 2003-04, and continues to grow its value and reputation as a voice for the region and peak body for regional issues. I commend the Authority’s Annual Report to its members, and thank them for their support in 2003-04.
Peter Hollister CHIEF REPRESENTATIVE 8
Executive Chairman’s Report In broad terms, the total value of regional development projects and activities underway has more than doubled each year since the Authority was formed in 2000. Over the same period, the Authority’s operating costs have increased on average by less than 5% per year, have fallen as percentage of total project costs from around 40% in 2000 to less than 3% in 2004 and remain below the initial estimate of $675 000 presented to Councils for the 2000-01 financial year. These figures are indicative only and may be subject to interpretation, but they do present a dramatic overall trend in returns to the region from member Councils’ contributions to the Authority over the last four years. This trend is projected to continue, or increase, in 2004-05. The Authority now has eighteen staff supporting its projects and activities across the region. Seventeen are employed directly by the Authority and one is seconded from Tourism Tasmania. One part time position is based on King Island; all others are based at the Authority’s offices in Burnie. Of the total staff employed, only six ‘core’ positions are funded by member Council contributions. All others are funded under fixed-term projects and agreements negotiated with external funding bodies and partner organizations. Taking into account positions previously funded by member Councils under Cradle Coast Tourism, the Authority’s core staff has increased by only one position since 2000-01. Distinct ‘teams’ have now evolved to manage the Authority’s tourism development, natural resource management and administration activities, each with its own manager, staff and internal planning and advisory structures. The Education and Training program is managed by a full-time project officer and other stand-alone projects, Board functions and strategic planning are managed by an ‘executive team’ comprising the Executive Chairman, Executive Officer and Finance and Administration Manager. Management meetings are held each week to coordinate linkages between projects and plan for major events, Board meetings and administrative support requirements. This structure has delivered strong outcomes in 2003-04, with significant achievements and projects underway in each team area and strong linkages between activities across teams. It has also allowed the Authority’s Board and core staff, funded by Council contributions, to remain focused on the region’s emerging needs while work proceeds to implement long-term plans to address known priority areas. As well as attracting new project partners and funding opportunities, this model’s success has resulted in the Authority being invited to present lectures on regional development to University of Tasmania students and contribute to development of a new diploma course in Regional Development Policy. I thank and congratulate the Authority’s entire staff for their personal commitment and achievements in 2003-04, and encourage each one of them to take pride in the contents of this report. My personal thanks also to Suzanne Smith, who resigned from her position as Administration Manager in early 2004, for her hard work and loyalty to the Authority since its first months of operation. The Authority started 2003-04 with four new directors and four previous directors appointed for a second term. Thanks to the momentum created by the original Board and the new directors’ energy and ability to absorb background briefings, the transition was seamless and I thank all directors and the Board as a team for their professionalism, mentoring and direction through another successful year.

Current Projects Report The following tables show significant regional activities that the Authority initiated, managed or had other significant involvement with during the 2003-04 financial year. The purpose of this report is to provide a summary overview of the range and value of activities underway during the reporting period.
