  • Appendix 3G Further Perspectives on the Financial Benefits of Local Government Amalgamations
    3G-1 Appendix 3G Further Perspectives on the Financial Benefits of Local Government Amalgamations Appendix 3G has five sections which support the section in Chapter 3 on estimates of the financial benefits of local government amalgamations. The first section further examines the KPMG estimates that savings of up to $845 million per annum could be achieved in NSW through local government amalgamations. This first section also includes a critique of the KPMG estimates by Judith McNeill. The second section presents a Darwinian survival perspective to the debate on the preferred sizes of local governments. The third section briefly discusses the self-limiting effect whereby the strength of the argument in favour of local government amalgamations must in some senses diminish with each successfully achieved amalgamation. The fourth section, in Table 3G-3, provides a compilation of extracts from 113 Australian and international literature sources which provide valuable insights on the local government amalgamation debate generally and which appear to provide important lessons for this current study. KPMG's Financial Benefit Estimates Consultants KPMG explored four local government amalgamation options, and establishes estimates of cost savings possible through each of these options, in a 1998 report prepared for the Property Council of NSW. Table 3G-1 below summarises the key findings in this report, where savings estimates are based on 1995-96 data.

  • Canberra Investment Corporation Googong Water Cycle Project Ecological Assessments - Terrestrial Flora and Fauna
    Canberra Investment Corporation Googong Water Cycle Project Ecological Assessments - Terrestrial Flora and Fauna Superb Parrot (Polytelis swainsonii) The Superb Parrot is listed as vulnerable under the EPBC Act and the TSC Act. The Superb Parrot occurs mostly in riparian forest or woodland and surrounding plains of the Murrumbidgee and Murray Rivers. It feeds mainly on the ground in Box-Gum Woodlands and wooded farmland within 10 km of the river, taking grass seeds and herbaceous plants, as well as fruit, insects, grain, flowers, nectar, berries and buds (DEC 2005q; Higgins 1999). It nests in hollows, usually in dead branches, but sometimes in holes in the trunk of a tall tree (Higgins 1999). The species is monogamous and is thought to maintain bonds year round (Higgins 1999). How is the proposal likely to affect the lifecycle of a threatened species and/or population? Some trees with hollows would be removed along Googong Dam Road and Old Cooma Road as a result of the proposal. The Superb Parrot has not been recorded in the study area, or within 10 km of the study area. This species is a rare breeding summer migrant to the ACT and is generally restricted to the northern parts near Hall, Gungahlin and Belconnen (Taylor, 1992) Competition for hollows in paddock areas is high, particularly from the Common Starling, which is abundant in the study area and has been observed nesting in tree hollows there. Given that the Superb Parrot has not been recorded in the area and wooded areas nearby contain better foraging and nesting habitat for this species than the study area, the removal of existing vegetation in the study area is not likely to affect the life cycle of the Superb Parrot.

SHATTUCK ARC Centre of Excellence in Vision Science, Research School of Biology, The Australian National University, Building 46, Biology Place, Canberra, Australian Capital Territory 2601, Australia and Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA Abstract The Australian endemic ant genus Myrmecorhynchus is reviewed. The genus is known from three species (M. carteri Clark, M. emeryi André and M. nitidus Clark) which are restricted to eastern and southern Australia. Myrmecorhynchus musgravei Clark and M. rufithorax Clark are newly synonymised with M. emeryi André. All species are found in forested areas where they nest arboreally or, less commonly, in soil. Foraging occurs primarily on vegetation and tree trunks. Key words: Myrmecorhynchus, Australia, taxonomy, Formicidae Introduction Myrmecorhynchus is an endemic Australian genus, known from three species. They occur in forested areas ranging from mallee through rainforest across eastern and southern Australia. All three species are sympatric in Victoria and New South Wales, with M. emeryi extending westward to south-western Western Australia and northward to central Queensland, and with M. carteri occurring in Tasmania (Fig. 1). They are small and inconspicuous ants and are most often encountered while foraging on vegetation or tree trunks (Fig. 2). Nests are in branches, twigs and vines on shrubs or trees, or in soil.

  • Rare Or Threatened Vascular Plant Species of Wollemi National Park, Central Eastern New South Wales
    Rare or threatened vascular plant species of Wollemi National Park, central eastern New South Wales. Stephen A.J. Bell Eastcoast Flora Survey PO Box 216 Kotara Fair, NSW 2289, AUSTRALIA Abstract: Wollemi National Park (c. 32o 20’– 33o 30’S, 150o– 151oE), approximately 100 km north-west of Sydney, conserves over 500 000 ha of the Triassic sandstone environments of the Central Coast and Tablelands of New South Wales, and occupies approximately 25% of the Sydney Basin biogeographical region. 94 taxa of conservation signiicance have been recorded and Wollemi is recognised as an important reservoir of rare and uncommon plant taxa, conserving more than 20% of all listed threatened species for the Central Coast, Central Tablelands and Central Western Slopes botanical divisions. For a land area occupying only 0.05% of these divisions, Wollemi is of paramount importance in regional conservation. Surveys within Wollemi National Park over the last decade have recorded several new populations of signiicant vascular plant species, including some sizeable range extensions. This paper summarises the current status of all rare or threatened taxa, describes habitat and associated species for many of these and proposes IUCN (2001) codes for all, as well as suggesting revisions to current conservation risk codes for some species. For Wollemi National Park 37 species are currently listed as Endangered (15 species) or Vulnerable (22 species) under the New South Wales Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. An additional 50 species are currently listed as nationally rare under the Briggs and Leigh (1996) classiication, or have been suggested as such by various workers. Seven species are awaiting further taxonomic investigation, including Eucalyptus sp.

  • Functioning and Changes in the Streamflow Generation of Catchments
    Ecohydrology in space and time: functioning and changes in the streamflow generation of catchments Ralph Trancoso Bachelor Forest Engineering Masters Tropical Forests Sciences Masters Applied Geosciences A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Trancoso, R. (2016) PhD Thesis, The University of Queensland Abstract Surface freshwater yield is a service provided by catchments, which cycle water intake by partitioning precipitation into evapotranspiration and streamflow. Streamflow generation is experiencing changes globally due to climate- and human-induced changes currently taking place in catchments. However, the direct attribution of streamflow changes to specific catchment modification processes is challenging because catchment functioning results from multiple interactions among distinct drivers (i.e., climate, soils, topography and vegetation). These drivers have coevolved until ecohydrological equilibrium is achieved between the water and energy fluxes. Therefore, the coevolution of catchment drivers and their spatial heterogeneity makes their functioning and response to changes unique and poses a challenge to expanding our ecohydrological knowledge. Addressing these problems is crucial to enabling sustainable water resource management and water supply for society and ecosystems. This thesis explores an extensive dataset of catchments situated along a climatic gradient in eastern Australia to understand the spatial and temporal variation
