Family Law Act in Australia | What’s Fair In Love & Law?

Determining issues at Family law Act 1975

When the Court makes a determination on property issues it takes into account the provisions of the Family Law Act 1975 and in particular the approach for the determination of an application under section 79 of the Family Law Act.  The principles are well established by authorities (in the marriage of Lee Steere (1985) FLC 91-626; in the marriage of Ferraro (1993) FLC 92-335; in the marriage of Clauson (1995) FLC 92-595 and involves consideration of the following factors where superannuation is not a relevant factor:

What were the assets, liabilities and financial resources of the parties and values at the time of the hearing;

What were the financial and non-financial contributions made directly or indirectly by or on behalf of each party to the acquisition, conservation or improvement of the property of the parties?

What was the contribution of each party to the welfare of the family including contributions made in the capacity of homemaker or parent;

What is the effect, if any, of any proposed order upon the earning capacity of each party;

What matters referred to in subsection subjection 75 (2) of the Family Law Act are relevant and what adjustment, if any, should be made as a result of these factors. (this will be referred to later);

Have there been any other orders made affecting a child or either party and is child support payable or likely to be payable in the future for the children of the marriage;

After consideration of these matters, is just and equitable to make the actual orders.

Steps two (2) and three (3) are generally considered the one step, namely “contributions”.  Steps four (4), five (5) and six (6) are often inter-connected considerations and are usually considered as one step loosely described as the “section 75 (2) factors”.  Hence the classic “four (4) step process”.  

Section 79 (2) of the Family Law Act 1975 provides that a Court should not make an order for property settlement unless it is satisfied that it is just and equitable to do so. Refer Stanford v Stanford (2012) HCA 52; 2012 247 CLR 108: Bevan and Bevan (2014) 51 fam LR (363).

A Court’s power to make an order altering the parties’ interest in a property is conditioned upon the Court has found that it is just and equitable to make such an order, the just and equitable requirement permeates the process in which the Court is engaged.  

The High Court said in Stanford at paragraph 36 that:

“The expression ‘just and equitable’ is a qualitative description of a conclusion reached after the examination of the range of potentially competing considerations.  It does not admit of exhaustive definition. It is not possible to chart its metes and bounds.”

In terms of what matters might be taken into account in determining whether it is “just and equitable” to make orders altering existing interest in the property, in Bevan, Bryant CJ said at paragraph 84 as follows:  

“Just as the expression ‘just and equitable’ does not admit of exhaustive definition it is not possible to catalog the ‘range of potentially competing considerations’ that may be taken into account when determining whether if it is just and equitable to make an order altering property interests. However, in our view, it would be a fundamental misunderstanding to read Stanford as suggesting that the matters referred to in section 79 (4) should be ignored in coming to that decision.  Indeed, such a reading would ignore the plain words of section 79 (4), which make clear that in considering ‘what order’ (if any) to make, the Court must take into account the matters referred to in that subsection.”

It is not mandatory to considers the matters in section 79 (4) of the Family Law Act 1975 in determining the question of whether it is “just and equitable” to make orders altering interests in property but it is open to the Court to consider the matters in section 79 (4) of the Act in addressing the question posed by section 79 (2) of the Act.  Those matters are not conclusive of whether or not it is ‘just and equitable’ to make an order altering any interest in a property.”

The High Court in paragraph 42 of Stanford noted:

“In many cases where an application is made for a property settlement order, the just and equitable requirement is readily satisfied by observing that, as a result of choice made by one or both of the parties, the Husband and the Wife are no longer living in a marital relationship. It will be just and equitable to make a property settlement order in such a case because there is not and will not thereafter be the common use of the property by the Husband and the Wife.  No less importantly, the express and implicit assumptions that underpin the existing property arrangements have been brought to an end by the voluntary severance of the mutuality of the marital relationship.”

What is the position in regard to unsecured liabilities? Secured liabilities are easily determined and are taken into account when determining the net relationship assets.

In Biltoft,65 the Full Court said: “Notwithstanding the general practice which has developed, the court has indicated that it may properly determine not to take into account or to discount the value of an unsecured liability in certain circumstances. Such liabilities would include but are not limited to a liability which is vague or uncertain, if it is unlikely to be enforced or if it was unreasonably incurred.”

In Biltoft and later decided cases, it is also open to disregard only part of debt upon the above principles.

The principles enunciated in Biltoft’s case flow from an earlier decision Evatt CJ of Prince. The relevant part of his Honour’s reasoning is set out as follows;

“The assessment of debts and liabilities is not necessarily arrived at by a strictly mathematical or accountancy approach in all cases. While some liabilities are charges upon the property which can be accurately assessed at a certain date, others are at large or have not been precisely determined, e.g. tax liabilities (Kelly and Kelly (No. 2) (1981) FLC 91-108 p. 76,801). In some cases, the amount of the liability can only be estimated generally (Albany (supra), p. 75,717). The Court can make an allowance for a particular liability if appropriate to do so. In some cases, there are sufficient uncertainties as to the alleged liability to lead the Court to disregard it entirely or partly (e.g. a loan from a parent of the party not likely to be enforced; Af Petersens (supra); Quirk (1983) unreported). In other cases, the Court may take the view that because of the circumstances surrounding the incurring of the liability it ought in justice and equity to be wholly or partly disregarded in determining the appropriate order to make under sec. 79 as between the parties to the marriage. Such a result could be reached where a spouse had incurred a liability in deliberate or reckless disregard of the other party’s potential entitlement under sec. 79 (Kimber and Kimber (1981) FLC 91-085; Kowaliw and Kowaliw (1981) FLC 91-092; Antmann and Antmann (1980) FLC 90-908; Af Petersens (supra)). Complex issues can arise in regard to liabilities to third parties (see, e.g. Pockran and Crewes; Pockran (1983) FLC 91-311).”

Of course, the Court cannot ignore the fact that there is or may be a liability; the effect is simply that it does not consider that the other spouse should be called upon to in effect “contribute” to the liability by having that spouse’s fair share in the parties’ property reduced by virtue of its existence. The effect may be that the party who has incurred the liability will be left to meet it out of whatever funds remain to that party after satisfying the property order made under sec. 79 (Af Petersens (supra)).”

Critical Assessment

Critical to the assessment of the Balance Sheet (the net relationship assets) is a consideration of the argument concerning add-backs.

As a consequence of the decision in Stanford, the practice of “adding-back” notional assets into the pool at Step 1 had been eschewed but that does not mean add-backs are not able to be taken into account.

The issue of add-backs was recently considered by the Full Court in Trevi & Trevi [2018] FamCAFC 173 where the Full Court held

“In Stanford v Stanford, the High Court emphasized as fundamental that consideration of whether it is just and equitable to make a property settlement order begins by “identifying, according to ordinary common law and equitable principles, the existing legal and equitable interests of the parties in the property”.

The essence of a claim for attacks is that the asserted sum/s should be added to the value of the existing property interests of the parties and, subsequent to the assessment of contributions, credited to the spending party as part of the value of their assessed entitlements. Doing so does not offend what was emphasized by the High Court. Adding back does not seek to create property interests that do not exist. Rather, doing so emphasizes that satisfying the respective requirements of ss 79(2) and (4) of the Act to do justice and equity can require an “accounting” or “balance sheet” exercise for the purposes of s 79(2) and (4), so as to include the value of the dissipated property or expended sums within the total value of the parties’ existing interests in property and to credit the value of same against the assessed entitlement of the dissipating or spending party.

In Trevi, the Full Court usefully summarises from para 27 guidelines for the adding back of property available at trial where the dissipation of property or expenditure is other than on legal fees.

The three clear categories

“The Full Court held in Omacini and Omacini that attacks fall into “three clear categories”: where the parties have expended money on legal fees; where there has been a premature distribution of matrimonial assets; and “waste” or wanton, negligent, or reckless dissipation of assets.

However, the Full Court also made it clear that an attack does not necessarily occur whenever “a party has expended money realized from the disposition of assets that existed as at the date of separation”, the Full Court describing such a proposition as “unduly simplistic”. An earlier Full Court made the same point, saying that adding back is “the exception rather than the rule”.

The fundamental precept that addbacks are exceptional, reflected in the decisions just referred to, also mirrors what has been said in earlier decisions of the Full Court that, for example, “the Family Court must take the property of a party to the marriage as it finds it” at trial. An important parallel proposition is that the parties do not “go into a state of suspended economic animation” after separation. Thus, reasonably incurred expenditure does not usually come within accepted categories of addback. Two fundamental premises emerge from Omacini and the authorities preceding it. First, “adding back” is a discretionary exercise. When the discretion is exercised in favor of adding back, it reflects a decision that, exceptionally, in the particular circumstances of a case, justice and equity require it. The second premise is its corollary: in cases that are not “exceptional” justice and equity can be achieved, not by adding back, but by the exercise of a different discretion – usually by taking up the same as a relevant s 75(2)factor. Indeed, it has been said that the latter is “a course which is, perhaps, technically more correct” than adding back to the list of existing interests in property.”

Step 2 – Contributions

The contribution assessment is very much a matter of the subjective opinion of an adjudicator. The property jurisdiction is a discretionary one and there is a generous ambit within which a reasonable disagreement is possible.

The types of contributions to be contemplated are contained in sections s79(4)(a) to (c).

Courts exercising jurisdiction pursuant to the FLA often refer to the assessment of contributions either upon an asset-by-asset or global approach, with the former often urged upon a court when the marriage is of relatively short duration.71

In Norbis & Norbis [1986] HCA 17; (1986) 161 CLR 513 Mason & Deane JJ said (at 523): Although it is natural to assess financial contributions under s. 79(4)(a) by reference to individual assets, it is also natural to assess the contribution of a spouse as homemaker and parent either by reference to the whole of the parties’ property or to some part of that property. For ease of comparison and calculation, it will be convenient in assessing the overall contributions of the parties at some stage to place the two types of contribution on the same basis, i.e. on a global or, alternatively, on an “asset-by-asset” basis. Which of the two approaches is the more convenient will depend on the circumstances of the particular case. However, there is much to be said for the view that in most cases the global approach is more convenient. It follows that the Full Court is quite entitled to prescribe that approach as a guideline in order to promote uniformity of approach within the Court. In saying this we are not to be understood as denying the legitimacy of the trial judge’s ascertainment in the first instance of the financial contributions of the parties by reference to particular assets. It is difficult to conceive how the trial judge in many cases could otherwise take account of such contributions as he is required to by s.79(4)(a) of the Act. In this respect, we agree with the comment of Nygh J. in G and G that, although mathematical precision is certainly not required, there is ordinarily a need to know the circumstances in which assets were acquired and the general extent of each party’s contribution to them.

Brennan J agreed with the majority and said (at 541):

The present case, however, does not involve the Family Court’s authority to prescribe either a legal rule controlling or a guideline affecting the exercise of discretion. The global approach which the Full Court of the Family Court regarded as appropriate in the present case is not a guideline affecting the order which should be made. The global approach is no more than a procedure for determining the exercise of the discretion. It is a procedure that tends to shorten the hearing so as to avoid sapping the finances of the parties and engendering further ill-feeling between them. The primary judge’s adoption of the asset by asset approach in lieu of the global approach was not an error affecting the validity of the order which he made. There is no logical foundation for concluding that one approach should produce, at the end of the day, an order different from, or preferable to, the order which the other approach would produce. Either approach is capable of producing a just and equitable order. To intervene merely on the ground that the primary judge did not adopt the global approach would be to require primary judges to follow a single procedure when more than one procedure is consistent with the provisions of the Act.

The concept of initial contributions was extensively examined in Pierce v Pierce (1999) FLC ¶92-844.

Pierce is now considered the authority for the following proposition;

In our opinion, it is not so much a matter of erosion of contribution but a question of what weight is to be attached, in all the circumstances, to the initial contribution. It is necessary to weigh the initial contributions by a party with all the other relevant contributions of both the husband and the wife. In considering the weight to be attached to the initial contribution, in this case of the husband, regard must be had to the use made by the parties of that contribution. In the present case that use was a substantial contribution to the purchase price of the matrimonial home...”

Step 3 – Section 75(2) factors

Section 75(2) provides that relevant matters for the Court to consider are;

the age and state of health of each of the parties;

the income, property and financial resources of each of the parties and the physical and mental capacity of each of them for appropriate gainful employment;

whether either party has the care or control of a child of the marriage who has not attained the age of 18 years;

commitments of each of the parties that are necessary to enable the party to support:

the responsibilities of either party to support any other person;

subject to subsection (3), the eligibility of either party for a pension, allowance or benefit under:

where the parties have separated or divorced, a standard of living that in all the circumstances is reasonable;

the extent to which the payment of maintenance to the party whose maintenance is under consideration would increase the earning capacity of that party by enabling that party to undertake a course of education or training or to establish himself or herself in a business or otherwise to obtain an adequate income;

himself or herself; and

a child or another person that the party has a duty to maintain;

any law of the Commonwealth, of a State or Territory or of another country; or

any superannuation fund or scheme, whether the fund or scheme was established, or operates, within or outside Australia; and the rate of any such pension, allowance or benefit being paid to either party;

(ha) the effect of any proposed order on the ability of a creditor of a party to recover the creditor’s debt so far as that effect is relevant; and

the extent to which the party whose maintenance is under consideration has contributed to the income, earning capacity, property and financial resources of the other party;

the duration of the marriage and the extent to which it has affected the earning capacity of the party whose maintenance is under consideration;

the need to protect a party who wishes to continue that party’s role as a parent;

if either party is cohabiting with another person—the financial circumstances relating to the cohabitation;

the terms of any order made or proposed to be made under section 79 in relation to:

the property of the parties; or

vested bankruptcy property in relation to a bankrupt party;

Any child support under the Child Support (Assessment) Act 1989 that a party to the marriage has provided, is to provide, or might be liable to provide in the future, for a child of the marriage; and

any fact or circumstance which, in the opinion of the court, the justice of the case requires to be taken into account; and

the terms of any financial agreement that is binding on the parties.

Section 75(3) requires a court to exclude from consideration any Commonwealth Government income tested pension, allowance or benefit.

Disclosure

The Full Court of the Family Court in Kannis & Kannis [2002] FamCA 1150 held that “Whether the non-disclosure is wilful or accidental, is a result of misfeasance, or malfeasance or nonfeasance, is beside the point. The duty to disclose is absolute. Where the Court is satisfied the whole truth has not come out it might readily conclude the asset pool is greater than demonstrated. In those circumstances, it may be appropriate to err on the side of generosity to the party who might be otherwise be seen to be disadvantaged by the lack of complete candor.” See also Chang and Su (2002) Fam CA 156 and Weir v Weir (1993) FLC 92-338.

Superannuation splitting

Prior to the introduction of the superannuation splitting regime into the FLA superannuated spouses often had to trade away an asset in exchange for an asset (superannuation) that may not be realized for many years, resulting in one party with a realized asset such as a house and cash, yet with no retirement income and the other party with no realizable asset but often a significant retirement income. The superannuation splitting regime brought about a fundamental change to that problem by recognizing superannuation as property and enabling it to be “split”.

ARM you ready?

Hanoi, Vietnam.

Recently I came across an excellent video promoting ARM CPUs and making a case on why we need more arm based desktops. But it didn’t explain why arm is needed at all when x86 is doing a good job already. If the goal is to have an alternative processor manufacturer in the PC market then wouldn’t RISC-V be a better choice? A smart phone is readily available $200 arm development machine. At the moment it’s used for Android Development but it can be used to develop native Linux apps as well. It’s quite easy to hook a smart phone to a monitor and a keyboard. The only thing you need is the mental adjustment of thinking of a smartphone as a CPU rather than a mobile phone.

As readers know that I’m not all that knowledgeable when it comes to CPU’s and their architecture therefore I decided to discuss at a layman level my ideas with the author of the video and got the following response:-

“Ah, yes, I forgot that in business and in science if something is doing a good job already then we should just all sit down and do nothing. Hey Bob, what is this horseless carriage nonsense, isn’t your mule doing a good job already!!! 😂 But seriously for a moment, RISC-V isn’t better because a) it doesn’t exist practically at the moment, it is very early on. b) It took Arm, Intel and AMD years of R&D to get where we are today. RISC-V won’t just become dominant over night because some people have wishes/dreams that it would. You actually need something that beats the competition in terms of price or performance or efficiency or all three. c) RISC-V isn’t what many people think it is. It is an open source ISA, not open source hardware. Finally, to address your point about phones. You kinda of missed the point. There are plenty of ARM devices that “could” be used. Raspberry Pi boards, Chromebooks etc. The point is that if you want to do serious development you need the right tools. A change of mindset won’t alter the reality of your development environment. ”

Now while I have no doubt that the author was correct in his estimation of ARM and justified its ambition to become a key supplier of desktop PCs I was not convinced with the arguments presented in the video and the comments. I searched through the opinions of others and found a viewer who put forth the idea that we don’t necessarily need an ARM desktop to develop applications for an ARM mobile or an ARM server. Here’s the full comment

“Nah, as happens more often, I don’t agree with Linus. In my opinion, he has a really narrow view of development. I’d say that the majority of all development takes place on either virtual machines (JVM, CLR) or on platform-independent languages (JavaScript and its derivatives, PHP, etc). The reason why Intel is doing so well is because other CPU architectures (68K, MIPS, PowerPC, Alpha) couldn’t compete in price/performance ratio.”

My response followed.

You are correct about virtual machines but you still need to have a VM running on every architecture if I’m not wrong. And someone has to “port” them as well. The point Linus and this video is trying to make is that it is simpler to deploy code to a machine having same architecture as the machine on which the development was done. Which like you I am hesitant to agree with.

Building cheap arm based development tools might not be a good idea. The market of developers is pretty small. X86 was successful in the consumer market. Developers didn’t simply adopt it out of compassion as the arguments seem to suggest and the try to make X86's success look accidental.

Interestingly ARM is perhaps the biggest beneficiary of JVM with all the Android apps running on smart phones most of which are developed on X86 machines. One might even say that arm has its own consumer market. Of smart phones. And now the argument becomes if arm should have a desktop/server presence then why shouldn’t other processors have a smart phone presence? Why should not there be a MIPS smart phone? Or a MIPS server. Of course the question is rhetorical and I’m just saying to point out that this is an absurd discussion. As absurd as the statement that ARM is the only competitive desktop processor alternative simply because a lot of investment has been made in perfecting it’s architecture like Linus and the video presenter seem to suggest. A lot of weight is given on what it will take for arm to gain desktop market. No compelling reasons are presented as to what would make arm a better alternative in the first place. We need more open processor architectures that are consistent across devices.

The discussion then got deeper as another user commented

“maybe the console industry should adopt this and produce mind blowing AAA titles to prove that point! 🤔”

To which I replied that Nintendo switch is ARM and it’s already producing awesome games like Breath of the wild.

Now here I must repeat myself and point out that I’m no expert on computers and CPU’s. What little that I do know is from scraping notes of eminent programmers like Linus and digesting videos from excellent teachers like Gary.

But still I’m compelled to stand against the position that we need ARM desktops. Take the case of video game development for instance. Every ten years of so new game consoles come out with their new architectures but despite that the development environment remains fixed. And if such complicated pieces of technology can be developed non natively then surely we can make a few cat sharing apps without overhauling the whole development ecosystem. First by setting factories that make these things then forcing the developers to buy them and then having them juggle around on different machines to build for every architecture.

You want your cat sharing app on x86? Here use this x86 desktop to develop it. You want it on arm? Better make it on an arm pc?

Certainly such thinking will help boost the sales of ARM desktop. And if the intention of the video and Linus’ comments were to help sell more ARM PCs then I could accept their arguments. But in no way does it make the life of developer easier by having him explicitly build on the target machine on which he wants to deploy. It also disregards the years of work that has been done by programmers. Why should we use C language at all if it can’t even cross compile effectively? Have the billions of dollars that have been invested into write once run anywhere been just a charade so that one day eminent personalities could say that for best results develop on native machines?

On the other hand

As opposed to a naive sentimentalist like myself numerous smart people have backed RISC-V architecture. A recent success story seems to be SiFive. I leave it to the best judgement of the readers to determine whether it would be better to buy another CPU that is as closed as the one it seeks to replace or instead support something that is a little more open?

Over the past 2 days I have read 2 separate articles about the extinction of 2 different animals. The White Rhino and the Eastern Puma. This is not to do with the harsh ways of mother nature but because of us humans. Hunting, poaching and developing our world so wide that other creatures are forced out of their habitats. The last Puma on record was hunted and killed by a man in Maine, the last Rhino died in captivity after its species was wiped out by people poaching them for their horns to be used in Chinese medicines when the horn has no medicinal properties whatsoever. The greed and entitlement of mankind has lead to this and I don’t even want to think about what it could lead to in the future. But this did get me thinking about how much humanity is doing to right their wrongs in other ways. How much am I doing? What more can I be doing? How can I influence others about the importance of sustainability? I’m by no means perfect and can improve so much but there is so much we can all do on a day to day basis that can make a difference if enough people make the change.

1.Educate yourself

Knowledge is power and this knowledge will give you the power to change. By simply choosing to read this, or any other article like this before, then you have already taken an interest and thats the first step. The more you know the more you will want to make the right choices. The more you know about the effects of waste the more you will want to recycle, the more you know about the meat industry the more you will want to stop eating it etc. The time for shoving your head in the sand and pretending your not accountable has long past. We are all accountable on this planet and need to start taking that responsibility seriously.

2. Veganism

It’s a scary concept to some I know. Some find it extreme and others think of it as completely unnecessary. I get that, I was one of them. Until I educated myself. I watched documentaries and followed activists online to see the real truth behind it all. I saw some very upsetting things that I can’t unsee that inspired me to stop eating meat and diary altogether regardless of the implications on the planet. But the implications on the planet because of the meat and diary industries are very real, very large and not very sustainable. I could reel of a list of all the reasons why but I would be here all day, I recommend watching the famous Netflix documentary “Cowspiracy” for the facts about the planet and “What The Health” for how going vegan can make you a healthier person. But if you can find it I also recommend watching a documentary from the BBC called “Carnage”. This was the first one I saw and it was easier watching than the other two as it’s entertaining as well as giving facts but was still hard hitting enough to convince me to go vegan. I didn’t do this all in one go though. You can if you like but I gave up meat first, then fish, and then after learning more about the diary industry from these documentaries and my own research I made the jump to go vegan and feel so much better for it. Both ethically and health-wise.

3. Too much plastic!

It’s crazy to think that plastic was only invented in 1907 and now, in 2018, it is estimated that about 8 million metric tons of plastic ends up in the ocean each year! Thats 8000000000kgs just to put that into perspective. And that’s just in the oceans, not including landfill or anything else. This really hit home to me when I was travelling and going on my first ferry from one Thai island to another, really excited for a couple of hours on the ocean enjoying the view. Then imagine my disappointment when the view was consistently disrupted by plastic crisp bags, straws and even a shoe. Now everyone uses plastic, including you, but you can reduce how much you use. When shopping take your own canvas bags, buy loose fruit and veggies that aren’t packaged. Buy a glass water bottle to take out with you and only buy online from stores who’s packaging is recyclable like ASOS (yay ASOS). Don’t use plastic straws or exfoliators with microbeads as these are dangerous to marine life. There is so much that can be done and there are more in detail posts out there if you want to refer back to number one and go learn more about what you can do.

4. Recycling 

Now I know this is an obvious one. It’s been around for ages and by now I hope were all doing it. But who is guilty of sometimes just chucking something in the kitchen bin because we can’t be bothered to go to the recycling ones? Who doesn’t know what actually can be recycled and what can’t so ends up throwing things away that could otherwise be recycled? And how many people throw away food? From leftovers to gone off food, around 7 million tonnes of food and drink is thrown away each year in the UK. That’s a huge amount and one way to tackle this is to start composting. This is not something I have tried yet but will be doing once we get our own house. It turns both food and garden waste into food for your garden, and who doesn’t love a good garden? And it means you’ll be sending less to landfill, meaning less energy used to deal with the waste, the food waste is not broken down into harmful gasses due to the oxygen not being able to get to it under all the waste, meaning you can save on your carbon footprint. Again, you can get a lot more information from a specific website, I like www.recyclenow.com for all the information you need on composting.

5. Use power wisely

So many people are guilty of leaving things on standby, leaving lights on in rooms that aren’t in use and just generally using more power than they realise. Just by turning off plug sockets, taking things off standby and turning off lights in rooms you aren’t using you can make a huge difference worldwide to the amount of power used. It might seem small just one person leaving on the kitchen light when in fact, if even a quarter of the people on the planet are guilty of this then thats nearly 2 billion houses with a light left on. It makes a difference. And there are plenty of energy saving solutions you can do around the house such as energy saving lightbulbs, solar panels and insulation. It’s worth having a look to see what more you could be doing.

I know this post has been a bit different to my usual fashion or travel posts but it’s very important in this day and age to be doing everything we can to try and reverse the damage our kind has done to this planet that we share with so many other creatures that are being put in danger by us. Just by understanding these implications we are taking a step closer to changing. Even if this post inspires one person to make some changes to make their life more sustainable then it has done its job. I hope you find this informative! Leave a comment and let me know what you do or any other ideas that people can do on a day to day basis!

The biking news

Trail money and more.

The Southwest Trail, a biking and hiking trail that would link Pulaski, Saline and Garland counties, has been pedaling in low gear since local cycling enthusiasts came up with the idea in 2013. They got some good news recently: According to Pulaski County Judge Barry Hyde, the Federal Lands Access Program of the Department of Transportation will provide money to hire engineers to design a 58-mile route, mostly on abandoned railroad beds.

The announcement from the DOT is not official; Hyde learned that the counties' grant application, for $3.5 million, would be awarded at a recent conference. He's waiting for official word, so the exact sum the counties will receive is not yet known. But Hyde is confident the money is coming, and the Southwest Trail — named for an early 19th century network of routes connecting the St. Louis area to northeast Texas — is closer to reality.

The FLAP grant funds routes that connect federal landmarks. In the case of the three counties' application, that is from Central High School to Hot Springs National Park. Pulaski County is well on its way, thanks to former Pulaski County Judge Buddy Villines' decision to buy up abandoned railroad lines in unincorporated areas. The trail becomes problematic in Saline and Garland counties, where the rail right of ways are in private hands. In Saline County alone, County Judge Jeff Arey said, there are around 66 parcels with 30 different owners. However, thanks to biking enthusiasts there, Saline County has also received a total of $1.3 million in Transportation Alternatives Program grants to restore the abandoned 1891 Old River Bridge over the Saline River for bike and pedestrian traffic.

Meanwhile, Metroplan hopes to launch a bike share program this year for Little Rock and North Little Rock and has put out a request for proposals from private businesses to operate the program. The first phase of the project would ask the bike share provider to put between 50 and 150 bikes at 15 to 30 stations. The RFP states that "Depending on the level of private support generated, Metroplan, CLR [City of Little Rock] and NLR intend to have little or no financial obligation in the Phase One launch," which would be the first three years of the program. The RFP asks that the bike service provider propose fees, including reduced rates for low-income riders, and create a park-and-ride opportunity within the "focal area," which will include the River Cities Center and areas of high density employment, parking and attractions. There is a May 18 deadline for RFPs.

John Landosky, Little Rock's BikePed coordinator, said the city is "reaching out" to businesses to support the bike share program in exchange for branding opportunities. He said such programs have been successful in 140 communities.

Little Rock briefly had a bike share program, but the bikes were free and seldom returned. The bike share program envisioned now would require a fee to ride, like City Bikes in New York and elsewhere.

Little Rock still has some railroad bed that it is negotiating to buy from Union Pacific for the Southwest Trail, or whatever it will finally be called. A task force of residents from the three counties working on standards, such as width, signage, trailheads and sight lines, for the multiuse trail will also consider a name for the trail.

Little Rock's segment of the Southwest Trail would be mostly on paved streets. The trail would pass through Interstate Park and on to Hilaro Springs, and would use boardwalks through the bottoms in the swampy areas of South Little Rock.

A 2015 study of the Southwest Trail corridor and its potential economic impact by the Alta Planning and Design firm out of Bentonville estimated a 65-mile trail would cost $33.3 million. In Saline County, the trail would go through Benton on a route roughly parallel to U.S. Highway 70. The Garland County portion, from Lonsdale to downtown Hot Springs, will probably be west of the Highway 70 corridor, along old state Highway 188 below Lake Hamilton, Hyde said, though that is far afield of the optimum route as originally conceived by the Alta study.

Hyde, who happens to be a cyclist himself, said the trail would be a perfect fit for a future TIGER (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery) grant for construction.

Architect and cyclist Mason Ellis and others came up with the idea to create a trail to Hot Springs on abandoned railbed. "I am thrilled," Ellis said of the news of the FLAP grant. "It would be such a great amenity to have for the whole region." Ellis is a member of the bike task force.
