  • Mingalkala Layout Plan 1 Background Report
    Mingalkala Layout Plan 1 Background Report September 2005 Date endorsed by WAPC Amendments Amendment 1 - April 2013 Amendment 2 - August 2018 Amendment 3 - July 2020 MINGALKALA LAYOUT PLAN 1 Layout Plan 1 (LP1) was prepared during 2005 by Sinclair Knight Merz. LP1 has been endorsed by the resident community (25 July 2005), the Shire of Halls Creek (25 August 2005) and the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) (27 September 2005). During the period April 2013 until August 2018 the WAPC endorsed 2 amendments to LP1. The endorsed amendments are listed in part 7 of this report. Both amendments were map-set changes, with no changes made to the background report. Consequently, the background report has become out-of-date, and in June 2020 it was updated as part of Amendment 3. The Amendment 3 background report update sought to keep all relevant information, while removing and replacing out-of-date references and data. All temporal references in the background report refer to the original date of preparation, unless otherwise specified. As part of the machinery of government (MOG) process, a new department incorporating the portfolios of Planning, Lands, Heritage and Aboriginal lands and heritage was established on 1st of July 2017 with a new department title, Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage. Since the majority of this report was finalised before this occurrence, the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage will be referred to throughout the document. Other government departments mentioned throughout this document will be referred to by their department name prior to the 1st of July 2017. Mingalkala Layout Plan No.

(Criterion 2.1) The cave structures were established as a response to war time threat but were utilised later for educational purposes. (Criterion 2.2) The place is closely associated with the Emanuel family who pioneered the lease in 1883 and also held leases over Christmas Creek, Cherrabun and Meda. (Criterion 2.3) 11. 3. SCIENTIFIC VALUE --------------- 11. 4. SOCIAL VALUE Gogo Cave School contributed to the educational needs of the community and was reputedly the first school to be established on a cattle station in Western Australia. (Criterion 4.1) * For consistency, all references to architectural style are taken from Apperly, R., Irving, R., Reynolds, P., A Pictorial Guide to Identifying Australian Architecture: Styles and Terms from 1788 to the Present Angus & Robertson, North Ryde, 1989.

  • Environmental Water Management in the Fitzroy River Valley Information Availability, Knowledge Gaps and Research Needs
    Environmental Water Management in the Fitzroy River Valley Information availability, knowledge gaps and research needs Bradley J. Pusey The University of Western Australia & Jarrod Kath Western Australian Department of Water i Executive Summary The Fitzroy River is the largest river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and contains significant biological, conservation and geoheritage values. Socio/cultural values, especially Indigenous values, are significant also but are not considered here. Current land use is dominated by rangeland grazing and very limited irrigated agriculture. The water resources of the basin are significant and potentially available for expanded agricultural development but the impact on the environment of increased water use, especially of groundwater is largely unknown. The current report addresses the availability of information that could be used to guide the formation and implementation of management strategies aimed at maintaining existing values. Currently available information useful in this regard is highly limited. Moreover, available information was found to be rarely in a form (i.e. quantitative relationships between flow and environmental factors) that would enable a full assessment of the impacts of different water resource use scenarios to be undertaken. Similarly, there is limited information that could provide the basis for ongoing assessment (i.e. monitoring) of the efficacy of any imposed water management strategies. Significant knowledge gaps were identified relating to five major themes: 1. The nature of aquatic habitats in the basin and their relationship to the flow regime and groundwater and including identity, extent and distribution, connectivity and conservation value; 2. Responses of riparian, floodplain and groundwater dependent vegetation to changes in water regime; 3.

  • Fitzroy River National Park Plan Creating Steady Flow of Concerns from Kimberley Cattle Industry
    Rural Fitzroy River National Park plan creating steady flow of concerns from Kimberley cattle industry ABC Rural By Matt Brann Updated yesterday at 13:37 First posted yesterday at 06:02 Environmentalists hope a Fitzroy River National Park will protect the region from dam proposals at Dimond Gorge and on the Margaret River (pictured). (Matt Brann: ABC) There are growing concerns among the Kimberley cattle industry over a government plan to create the Fitzroy River National Park. The park was an election promise by the Western Australian Labor Government, and has strong backing from environmentalists and some traditional owners. But president of the Pastoralists and Graziers Association (PGA), Tony Seabrook, said some of his members were very worried about the park and what it could mean for neighbouring properties and local stations looking to diversify. "Government needs to be able to look after the estate it currently controls in a far better fashion before they take more," Mr Seabrook said. "This [national park] would be very detrimental for the properties which adjoin the river. "There are certainly some sites on that river of great significance, but the park is too big, too over-reaching and probably ungovernable." Gogo Station is seeking approvals to grow more irrigated fodder crops for its cattle. (ABC Rural: Matt Brann) Gogo Station irrigation plans under pressure One cattle station concerned about the impacts of the planned national park is Gogo Station, east of Fitzroy Crossing. Owned by the Harris family since 1989, the station has been growing irrigated sorghum for its cattle using two centre pivots for several years, and is seeking approvals to expand.
