I am not prepared to diligently compile hundreds ofpages ofelaborate mineral exploration obfuscations, in order to conceal, a lack ofexploration success. The report is an itemised account ofsix years ofMount Read Volcanics and Tasmanian wide, mineral exploration research, written in a loose handed and first person narrative, as compiled by a prospector under no illusions ofits authenticity and veracity.

Brand Voice, Marketing Framework, Key Audiences, Journeys & Messaging, Go-To-Market Strategy, Recommended Brand Activations
Work / Digital platform For The People x Snowy Valleys Marketing Strategy Brand voice, marketing framework, key audiences, journeys & messaging, go-to-market strategy, recommended brand activations, leveraging key events and partnerships, indicative marketing executions, implementation recommendations What’s inside Following this page, you’ll find a marketing strategy for driving visitation to the Snowy Valleys. This is not about simply planting the message: visit Snowy Valleys. It’s about defining the product that is the Snowy Valleys for and finding a market for it. The Snowy Valleys isn’t one singular experience or attraction that will draw visitors, but rather a combination of experiences across the region - so a key component of the strategy is how to package these experiences in a way that makes sense to outside visitors. Changing behaviour (driving visitation) is no small task, and this strategy won’t be successful unless this effort is bigger than individual businesses, and bigger than the council - a true partnership of community, council, and neighbouring regions. The destination brand strategy positioned the Snowy Valleys. This marketing framework about helping make decisions that allow council to facilitate and experiences that are quintessentially Snowy Valleys, guide visitors from one experience to another, and helping council and community reach the right people who’d be excited about the kind of experience the Snowy Valleys can offer. As a result of this positioning this document defines: who will we speak to, what touchpoints will we reach them on, and what will we say to them? • Key audiences, journeys and messages • Go-to-market strategy incorporating media mix — owned (website, signage, print etc) • Recommendations for brand and marketing activations • Recommendations for leveraging key events and partnerships Contents 1.

16. Darwin Dam
16. Darwin Dam Key facts about this geosite: Varied geology including the Late Cambrian Owen Conglomerate, Ordovician Gordon Limestone, Silurian Eldon Group sandstones, partly concealed by Pleistocene glacial deposits A meteorite impact structure (Darwin Crater) is located about 10 kilometres to the southeast. Darwin Glass, melted country rock formed during the meteorite collision may be found locally (be sure to leave the glass in place for future visitors). How to get there: The site is 27 kilometres south of Queenstown via the Mt Jukes Road. Figure 1. Location of the Darwin Dam Geosite. Geosite Description: Lake Burbury is an artificial lake that flooded the old mining town of Crotty (Figure 2), when the Crotty Dam on the King River was constructed by Hydro Tasmania ) in 1991. The Darwin Dam (Figure 3) is a secondary structure to prevent the lake waters from spilling over a low watershed into the Andrew River, a tributary of the Franklin River. Figure 2. The North Lyell Smelters at Crotty. The smelter site and township has been submerged under Lake Burbury (Source: www.linctas.tas.gov.au). Figure 3. The Darwin Dam (image courtesy of Danielle Fairfield). The geology of the region is shown on the geological map (Figure 4). The ridge to the west of the dam has formed the from resistant Late Cambrian Owen Conglomerate. Just west of the dam, a pair of north-south trending faults are roughly parallel to the shore of the lake, which have downthrown the rock sequence to the east. A sliver of Ordovician Gordon Limestone, partly concealed by Pleistocene glacial deposits, lies between the faults, whereas Silurian Eldon Group sandstones and siltstones form the eastern (far) abutment of the dam (Figure 5).

Letter from Bruce Lord
From: Gillian Lord To: Climate Change, Public Mailbox (DPaC) Subject: Submission for Draft ActionPlan Date: Friday, 26 February 2016 3:32:13 PM Draft Action Plan Embracing the Climate Challenge Submission by Bruce Lord 26 February 2016 Tasmanian Energy Strategy The action plan for maximising our energy advantage seeks to pursue the potential for 10% additional hydro generation output from our existing hydro asset base (Ref. page 19 of Action Plan). Some important aspects of this plan are outlined here. Increase in Catchment Inflow into Existing Hydro Power Stations Herewith is noted some additional catchment inflows that should be examined in more detail by Hydro Tasmania. 1. John Butters Power Station, King River (a) There is potential for diversion of Newall Creek flows into the surge tank above the power station. (b) A review of the proposal for a channel alongside the road from John Butters Power Station to Crotty Dam to divert additional water into Lake Burbury from the vicinity of the crest of the road. 2. Tribute Power Station Any increase in catchment yield to this power station will also increase flows through Mackintosh, Bastyan and Reece Power Stations. The catchment to Tribute Power Station is a complex of small dams and canals that provide water into Lake Plimsoll, the forebay to Tribute Power Station. The following potential for increasing this inflow still exists. (a) Small catchment diversions into Lake Newton some of which have already been completed. Additional inflow into Lake Newton by pumping from adjacent catchments is a further possibility. (b) Diversion of catchments at Moxon Saddle into Henty River and Lake Henty which in turn flows into Henty Canal.

West Coast Draft
16 October 2020 General Manager West Coast Council PO Box 63 QUEENSTOWN TAS 7467 Dear Mr Midson INVITATION FOR COMMENT WEST COAST COUNCIL DRAFT LOCAL PROVISIONS SCHEDULE – TASMANIAN PLANNING SCHEME Reference is made to your letter of 17 August 2020 providing Hydro Tasmania with the opportunity to comment on the West Coast Council Draft Local Provisions Schedule (LPS). While Hydro Tasmania has no specific comment to make on the content of the LPS, amending the zoning of our key assets (dams, major water conveyances, and power stations) to Utilities, as opposed to the current Rural Resource or Environmental Management zones, is recommended. Hydro Tasmania’s generating infrastructure is essential to the delivery of reliable and secure electricity to the Tasmanian community and forms an integral component of the Government’s Renewable Energy Action Plan. As such, we believe it is important that zone and development standards that provide long-term certainty for protection, modification and redevelopment of these assets are essential. Hydro Tasmania’s key hydro-electric infrastructure within the West Coast local government area includes – • Lake Margaret Power Stations, Lake Margaret Dam, and water conveyances (Part of CID 971147) • Halls Rivulet Canal, White Spur Dam, Henty Dam (Part of CID 968961), Anthony Dam (Part of CID 968930), and Tribute Power Station (CID 968728) • Mackintosh Power Station, Murchison Dam, and Mackintosh Dam (Part of CID 1284990) • Bastyan Power Station and Bastyan Dam (Part of CID 1342602) • Reece Power Station and Reece Dam (CID 1127634 and CID 1349133) • John Butters Power Station (CID 974857), Crotty Dam (Part of 1127175) and Darwin Dam (Part of CID 1127175) • A variety of major above-ground water conveyances connecting water storages and power stations.

Table 1: Proposed Pevs for Waterways Within
DEPARTMENT of PRIMARY INDUSTRIES, WATER and ENVIRONMENT ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT GOALS for TASMANIAN SURFACE WATERS WEST COAST MUNICIPAL AREA (Excluding the Gordon and Pieman River Catchments) December 2000 Environmental Management Goals For Tasmanian Surface Waters: West Coast Municipal Area This discussion paper was used as a basis for community and stakeholder participation in the process of developing environmental management goals for the waterways that are located within the West Coast municipal area. The Pieman River catchment and Gordon River catchments were not included in this paper because Protected Environmental Values had already been set for these areas. The discussion paper was prepared by the Division of Environment, Planning, and Scientific Services in association with the Land and Water Management Branch, of the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment; and the West Coast Council. Words and expressions used in this discussion paper have, unless the contrary intention appears, the same meaning as defined in the State Policy on Water Quality Management 1997, the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 and the Water Management Act, 1999.
