MAIN BODYWeek 2Chosen Media: Online news reportMedia source: ABC News (online page)News topic: When is a region 'regional'? Debate over whether Newcastle, Wollongong are inregional NSWAuthor/Editor: ABC Illawarra By Gavin CooteDate: Updated 8 Mar 2018, 7:21amThe concept of regionalism states that the regional based division of the associated areasseparated from a metropolitan area by a mixture of tangible characteristics that at the same timedistinguishes it from neighboring areas and declares a degree of commonality considering the“remoteness” and “Firmness” (Henderson, 2018). Alternative views show the increasing natureof metropolitan areas, as opposed to exposure to city-regions as global economy structure. In thiscontext, considering a region as 'regional' has become a most debated issue over whetherNewcastle, Wollongong are in regional NSW. Here the term “regional” used to describeremoteness or “farminess”. A report published in ABC news authored by Gavin Cootehighlighted this issue while arguing the present perspective of regionalism of the governmenttowards the area of Newcastle, Wollongong. With the help of this issue, one can ascertain currentmarket scenario and fluctuating trend which has been prevailing in the regional area ofNewcastle, Wollongong.4
The long - running argument of considering Wollongong and Newcastle as metropolitans asSydney appears to have been settled when NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro said it was clearNewcastle and Wollongong were not regional (Coote, 2018). Arguably this statement can beconsidered as the evolved adaptation in Government's definition of region and regionalism.Therefore, it can also be said that the intensity of political benefits from external opportunitiesfrom the coherence of city-regions and their management often result confusions andproblematic situation.The Berejiklian government plans to quarantine the $4.15 billion in proceeds from theSnowy Hydro Scheme's sale of regional infrastructure outside the three largest cities of the state(Coote, 2018). By formulating strong business plans and strategies in line with business aims andobjectives, one can seek competitive advantages from the market place in an effective manner. Inthis context John Barilaro stated the most controversial sentence. The regional boundaries andtheir facilitation associated differences often form the sense of being discriminated among theassociated or extended regional area of metropolitan city (Brown & Deem, 2016). The reportpublished in ABC also highlighted that this controversial perspective and their deliberatedeclaration is not a new phenomenon. Previous year similar issue has been raised whenShellharbour was considered as 'metropolitan', while Lake Macquarie as 'regional' area. The cityof Shellharbour, south of Wollongong, has long been eligible for regional grants but is nowclassified "metropolitan". Adding more complexity in the debate, it has been also highlightedthat whether the satellite centers around Newcastle and Wollongong were supposed to beconsidered as regional or not. This complexity has emerged from sub - metropolitan regions, orsub-regions within city - regions, aimed to make better facilitation for themselves within public-sector funding allocations and global economic flows (Tomlinson, 2017). There are many themes that highlighted in this discussion. One of these themes is related tothe involvement of the multi - level government structures with the help of careful assessmentwhich is required on this place - based factors. Meanwhile this assessment prevailing to inter -government relations to shape the governance formations in the regional areas and undertakingtheir development operation in proper and effective manner (Schofield, 2018). Through thisreport another theme has been made which is related to the aspects such as attention directedtowards the particular areas (in this case Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong and other associatedarea of NSW). It has been reported on the repeatedly basis that the local councils have forgotten5
to forge a regional collaborative approach in the benefit of the whole region. This discussion isnot only highlighting the theme of current alteration of government perspective on regionalism,but also reflecting upon other themes such as the achievements of other metropolitan and NSWregions and especially the local and regional experiences. By having focus on different aspectsrelated to government rules and regulations, regional planning can be made in accordance to itthereby ensuring proper compliance has been done of all the applicable regional rules and law.Adherence of government rules and regulation can help in getting easy approval for undertakingthe construction as well as development related activities in smooth as well as effective manner. 6
