background to the factors controlling entrance dynamics of intermittently closed and open lakes and lagoons (ICOLLs), how entrance dynamics affect water quality and ecology, and the likely consequences of different management interventions. The primary audiences are natural resource and flood risk managers, local and State government authorities and agencies, and water industry professionals. It provides a precis of the characteristic geomorphic, hydrological and ecological features common to ICOLLs, with a particular focus on the interactions between entrance dynamics and these features. While we present conceptual models that convey some of the commonalities among ICOLLs, there is an underlying understanding that these systems are all unique due to their own blend of environmental factors, and consequently each will react a bit differently to outside influences. 1 Form and function of NSW intermittently closed and open lakes and lagoons: Implications for entrance management NSW ICOLLs – a unique waterway type Photo 1 Tallow Creek in northern New South Wales Photo: A Ferguson/DPIE ‘Intermittently closed and open lakes and lagoons’ (ICOLLs) is a generic term for a distinct type of estuary with a tendency for the ocean entrance to close during periods of low freshwater inflow. ICOLLs are found in mid-latitude countries worldwide, including Australia, South Africa, and Mexico (McSweeney et al. 2017), and they account for more than 60% of the 184 estuaries along the NSW coast (Roper et al. 2011). NSW ICOLLs share a set of common morphological and hydrological attributes, however the relative size and expression of these attributes varies greatly among systems (Maher et al. 2011). This variability presents challenges in generating a universal understanding of the hydrological and ecological functions of ICOLLs, and in turn understanding the unique aspects of individual systems. However, the ubiquity of some features does allow a degree of generalisation about responses to external factors. Urban areas along the NSW coast are often situated around ICOLLs, leading to a need for local councils to manage issues such as flooding and community perceptions of ‘poor’ water quality.

  • The Illawarra Fly Fishers' Club
    Inc. THE ILLAWARRA FLY FISHERS’ CLUB 1989 to 2019 - The First Thirty Years The First Thirty Years - 1989 to 2019 Page 1 FOREWARD As the following document details, 2019 marked the thirtieth anniversary of the Illawarra Fly Fishers’ Club. By any measure, the passage of thirty years is a significant milestone in any endeavour, be it on a personal, social or business basis or, as in the case of the Illawarra Fly Fishers’ Club, the establishment and uninterrupted continuity of a specialist social club. That the Illawarra Fly Fishers’ Club has existed for thirty years is a remarkable achievement. Thirty years ago Bob Hawke was the Prime Minister of Australia, Nick Greiner was the Premier of New South Wales, Australia had, the previous year, celebrated the bi-centenary of the arrival of the First Fleet, acid wash jeans were the rage, the “Game Boy” console was released by Nintendo, Crocodile Dundee II was a hit movie, Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” was the number one music single and for higher education students, the Hawke government had scrapped free University education and introduced the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) scheme. Whilst the HECS scheme remains, other political and social highlights of the time have, fortunately or unfortunately depending upon your point of view, passed into history. Fortunately for past, current and future members, the Illawarra Fly Fishers’ Club continues to exist and continues to maintain a strong, active and social membership. This is certainly a remarkable achievement on many fronts. Remarkable

  • Identifying Sediment Compartment Dynamics on the Illawarra Coast
    IDENTIFYING SEDIMENT COMPARTMENT DYNAMICS ON THE ILLAWARRA COAST R Carvalho 1, M Kinsela 2, D Hanslow 2, S Hamylton 1, M Linklater 2, T Ingleton 2, B Morris 2 K Allen 2, C Woodroffe 1 1School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Wollongong, NSW 2Water, Wetlands and Coasts Science, NSW Office of Environment & Heritage, NSW Abstract This project aims to produce a framework for assessing compartment dynamics within two sediment compartments in the Illawarra region to assist in assessing coastal hazards. Sediment sources, pathways and sinks will be examined for the Wollongong and Illawarra Coast – South compartments, defined by Geoscience Australia and CoastAdapt. A compartment based approach allows for more holistic coastal planning and management which considers sediment transport at differing scales, and interconnectivity of beaches. This type of approach underpins national guidance on open coast risk assessment and has been incorporated within the NSW Coastal Reforms and the Draft Coastal Management Manual. The adjacent sectors of the Wollongong Coast and Illawarra Coast-South compartments extend for approximately 30 km from Bellambi Point to Bass Point. The rock platform of Red Point marks the shoreline division between these two contrasting compartments. The Wollongong Coast is an urbanized relatively little studied leaky compartment, whereas the Illawarra Coast-South is a well-defined and confined compartment whose main sedimentary characteristics are represented by the infilling of the Lake Illawarra barrier estuary and the erosion- prone Warilla Beach. This detailed examination of sediment resources brings together the state-wide coastal seabed mapping program being undertaken by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH), and coastal geomorphological investigations being undertaken along the southern NSW coast by the University of Wollongong (UOW).
