Snowy Monaro Regional Council aims to make the process of development easy. The Council offers one on one consultation prior to the lodgement of development approvals. This not only allows for open workshopping of all plans and fine tuning if needed, but also speeds up the approval process as a result of having a full understanding of what is required. THE BOMBALA TRAILBLAZERS, an initiative of local business owner Arthur Dracopoulos, was established some years ago. The initiative which is run through Council, supports community members with mobility issues to remain connected and involved with the local community. The Bombala Trailblazers meet monthly, enjoying an afternoon tea provided by Arthur at his business, Cosmo Café. The initiative also receives support from Mobility Matters, a Cooma based business, and the Bombala RSL Club. Arthur says, “I am more than happy to continue supporting this group with their free coffee and cake every month...after all it’s what community is … we all help each other .. it’s why I have *HEADLINE GROSS REGIONAL PRODUCT JUNE 2015- 2016 my business here”. Page 3 Industries & Opportunities Snowy Monaro’s well established engines of growth – tourism, agriculture and timber – continue to evolve and have encouraged the development of a wide skills base which in turn has seen supportive industries such as welding, fabrication and engineering, thrive. With such a diverse mix of businesses, easy access to Canberra airport and the Port of Eden, security of water, a community seeking to grow and embrace new opportunities, perfect location and natural beauty, it is no wonder that innovative operators, technical specialists and artists are calling Snowy Monaro home. SNOWY 2.0 Excitement is growing around the opportunities that Snowy Hydro’s pumped hydro expansion of the Snowy Scheme, Snowy 2.0, could provide to the region. A Final Investment Decision for the project is expected in late 2018. The construction of Snowy 2.0 would create up to 5,000 direct and indirect jobs across the region, as well as opportunities for local businesses and service providers. ALL YEAR TOURISM Tourism is the lifeblood of the region and it is not just the snow that is attracting a growing number of visitors to the area. Visitors also come to the area to experience the National Parks which are among Australia’s best. Imagine camping out under the starry southern skies after a day spent bush walking or mountain biking on well-maintained tracks and trails through majestic forests and over crystal clear waterways. Other tourist experiences include horse riding through landscape immortalised in “The Man from Snowy River” or canoeing the mighty Snowy River with an Aboriginal guide who will explain the legends of this ancient land. Page 4 Case Study SNOWY MOUNTAINS COOKIES is a high end brand supplying premium gourmet produce. Their products are served on multiple airlines including Qantas, Air China, Emirates, REX and Virgin Airlines through to five star hotels and independent cafes. The company takes great pride in their attention to customer service and vigilant food safety standards. Snowy Mountains Cookies/Savoury/Snacks, launched in 2006, is proudly located in the beautiful, iconic, alpine town of Jindabyne and is arguably Australia’s highest commercial bakery, perched at 1020 metres above sea level. Over ten years of operation, the ‘Snowy Mountains’ branding has consistently delivered positive outcomes including, instant product recognition, acceptance and a key point of difference. The key words, ‘Snowy Mountains,’ have furnished the brand with values, personality and attributes that it would not have attained if the cookies were called something along the lines of “Daisy & Nolen’s Cookies”. The company isn’t just another city based manufacturing plant – the Snowy Mountains Cookies brand comes with an authentic story about a family business, true to its name, based in the iconic regional town of Jindabyne in Australia’s Snowy Mountains. The products reaffirm the brand message, made wholesome and appetising by baking with premium ingredient options, with a focus on ‘keeping it natural by keeping it simple’. Page 5 Case Study EUCUMBENE TROUT FARM offers a premium fishing experience on their 6 hectare “Stony Lake” and patrons, in the absence of success at the lake, have the opportunity to try the “sure catch tank”. The farm also offers farm tours, award winning value added trout products and local produce, a cafe and accommodation. Karen and Peter Cottrell had been frequent visitors to the Australian high country for decades chasing the distinct seasonal patterns and of course the snow. When they saw that Eucumbene Trout Farm was for sale, they acted. The iconic farm had fallen on hard times, with a failure to address changing water and energy needs and general maintenance resulting in the farm’s closure in 2008. Peter and Karen turned their hand to the challenges and have reinvented the farm. Karen and Peter are extremely happy with their decision to leave Sydney and they love living in the beautiful Snowy Monaro. 2,850 trout are estimated to be in the lake and the farm is the number one destination for trout fishing in NSW. The farm has had 27,000 visitors since opening.

  • Draft MRCA Submission on Michelago Masterplan Consultation Documents
    DRAFT SUBMISSION on SMRC Michelago Masterplan consultation Introduction Michelago Region Community Association Inc (MRCA) thanks the Snowy Monaro Regional Council (SMRC) for the Michelago Masterplan process, and for its consultative approach to planning the future of Michelago. We have examined the: ● Draft Michelago Masterplan Scenarios for Exhibition (the Draft Masterplan Scenarios), ● Michelago Masterplan - postcard A5 (the postcard), ● Kitchen Table Discussion Guide (the Kitchen Table Guide), ● Michelago scenarios summary presentation (13.6 MB) (‘the growth scenarios paper’), and the ● Growth Scenarios Survey (the consultation documents), and provide the following comments. As we have previously submitted, a strategic plan to guide the development of Michelago is needed urgently so this is not left solely to the discretion of developers or landholders. The consultation documents set out the issues helpfully, and MRCA to the extent possible has listened to community responses on the various potential growth scenarios put forward. MRCA submission on SMRC Michelago Masterplan consultation DRAFT The Briefing Paper and Growth Scenarios paper make clear that water availability is a threshold question when considering potential development of Michelago, and that even low or medium growth would require the provision of water and sewerage services. We agree that any proposal to develop such services which would require a detailed assessment of the environmental impacts of the various options and costs to the council and community, and we do not believe the case has been made. We therefore submit that the ‘Scenario A’ growth scenario be adopted for Michelago and region into the future. The ‘Scenario A’ position set out in this document represents what we believe to be the view of the substantial majority of Michelago and region landholders.

They included a wombat (Diprotodon) seen on the right, the size of a small car and weighing up to almost three tons, which was preyed upon by a marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) on following page. This treedweller averaging 100 kilograms, was slim compared to the venomous goanna (Megalania) which at 300 kilograms, and 4.5 metres long, was the largest terrestrial lizard known, terrifying but dwarfed by a carnivorous kangaroo (Propleopus oscillans) which could grow three metres high.

  • Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines 1770-1900
    University of Wollongong Research Online Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice- Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice- Chancellor (Education) - Papers Chancellor (Education) 1993 Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines 1770-1900 Michael K. Organ University of Wollongong, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://ro.uow.edu.au/asdpapers Part of the Arts and Humanities Commons, and the Social and Behavioral Sciences Commons Recommended Citation Organ, Michael K.: Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines 1770-1900 1993. https://ro.uow.edu.au/asdpapers/118 Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines 1770-1900 Abstract The following compilation of historical manuscript and published material relating to the Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines for the approximate period 1770 to 1900 aims to supplement that contained in the author's Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines 1770- 1850 (Wollongong University, 1990). The latter was compiled in a relatively short 18 month period between 1988 and 1989, and since then a great deal of new material has been discovered, with more undoubtedly yet to be unearthed of relevance to this study. As a result the present document contains material of a similar nature to that in the 1990 work, with an added emphasis on items from the period 1850 to 1900. Also included are bibliographic references which bring up to date those contained in the previous work. All told, some 1000 pages of primary sources and references to published works are now available on the Illawarra and South Coast Aborigines for the approximate period 1770 to 1900, though an attempt has been made to include items from this century which outline some of the history of the central Illawarra and Shoalhaven Aboriginal communities.
