Box 7312 Cloisters Square, Perth WA 6850 Postal Address 3: FEES AND CHARGES An application fee and annual charges apply to non-pastoral use permits using a two-tiered system. Tier 1 covers basic operations that require minimal development such as tourism campgrounds. Tier 2 covers more substantial operations such as horticulture, aquaculture, forestry, purpose-built tourism accommodation, station stores and extensive agriculture that require a valuation based on the proposed purpose. Application Fee The current one-off application fee for Tier 1 non-pastoral operations is $1,350.00 and for Tier 2 non-pastoral operations is $2,950.00. Payment is required at the time the application is lodged. Annual Fees For Tier 1 non-pastoral operations an annual flat rate fee of $500.00 will be charged for the duration of the non-pastoral use permit. For Tier 2 non-pastoral operations the annual fee charged for the duration of the permit is calculated using the following formula: (Unimproved Value (UV) of the land for purpose x percentage) x revenue unit which is currently $1.07. UV per Hectare UV x 1000 UV 1000 x (UV x 3%) x Revenue Annual Fee for Agriculture hectares 3% Unit ($1.07) Payable $650 $650 000 $19 500 $20 865.50 $20 865.50 *Please note this is an example only. Each property will have a different UV depending on its location and intended non-pastoral use* Project Sea Dragon Pty Ltd October 2016 3 The payment of annual fees for both Tier 1 and Tier 2 will be staged as follows: Year 1: Only the application fee is charged Year 2: 25% of the calculated annual fee is charged Year 3: 50% of the calculated annual fee is charged Year 4: 75% of the calculated annual fee is charged Year 5: 100% of the calculated annual fee is charged For more information about the structure of non-pastoral use fees and charges please refer to the Northern Territory Non-Pastoral Use Guidelines 2014. 4: NON-PASTORAL USE PURPOSE Tourism Forestry Horticulture Agriculture Aquaculture Other 4.1 Non-pastoral use details Seafarms proposes to develop Project Sea Dragon, a large, land-based aquaculture facility on Legune Station for the year-round production of Black Tiger prawns (Penaeus monodon). Project Sea Dragon is a staged project with a long development timeline of approximately ten years. Stage 1 will comprise circa 1120 hectares of grow-out ponds and supporting infrastructure, with subsequent stages expanding to 10,000 hectares of grow-out ponds and associated infrastructure. Table 1 below indicates the components of the Project at Stage 1. All of the Project elements to be situated on Legune Station are collectively referred to as the “Grow-out Facility” (See Attachment 2 – Master Plan). The Grow-out Facility includes the Grow-out Centre as well as the Environmental Protection Zones, headworks infrastructure and ancillary infrastructure to support the Grow-out Centre (e.g. roads, canals and channels, power plant and accommodation facilities). For further detail refer to Section 11. The attached Master Plan (Attachment 2) shows a proposed lay-out of aquaculture facilities to conform with a notional 10,000 ha of production ponds. Stage 1 of the development consisting of three (3) farms is shown in darker grey with internal blue markings. Engineering design and feasibility and environmental assessment work has been focused on Project Sea Dragon Pty Ltd October 2016 4 this part of the footprint together with the services required to develop the first stage. Headworks infrastructure is being designed to support subsequent stages. The second grouping shows farms marked out in light grey and indicates area where there is medium confidence of being able to locate future farms. The dashed outlines show the potential locations of farms where engineering assessment has not yet been undertaken, and therefore these areas have the lowest level of precision and certainty. Project Sea Dragon reiterates that environmental approvals have been sought for Stage 1 of the development to this point only. The utility of the Master Plan is that for the purposes of non-Pastoral Use it enables the Pastoral Lands Board to consider the full extent of the proposal for Non-Pastoral Use. In building these facilities flexibility will be required in order to take account of more precise information in relation to environmental, cultural and heritage matters.

Attachment 11 is a map showing the proposed arrangement of aquaculture facilities based on the Master Plan and any other relevant information currently available. The red boundary shows the indicative limit to the aquaculture operations; the area within the red boundary markings is calculated to be 25,858 ha. There are a number of caveats to the proposed boundaries shown on Attachment 11. These are: i) Further consideration of sacred sites through both an Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority investigation and discussions with Traditional Owners towards an ILUA (see section 10) ii) Detailed design engineering and cost feasibility including issues that may emerge in relation to water movement (for Stages after Stage 1) iii) Environmental approvals. Project Sea Dragon Pty Ltd October 2016 6 5: LAND CLEARING Does the proposed area for non-pastoral use require a clearing permit? Yes No If yes please advise the current status of the land clearing application: Approved Pending approval Application to be lodged An application to clear land will be lodged. A map showing the vegetation communities on the property is at Attachment 3. A vegetation clearing map is at Attachment 4. Land will be cleared to prepare the site for earthworks to construct the infrastructure for Stage 1. Most of the area to be cleared for ponds is pasture, vegetated by native and introduced species. Additional clearing will be required for service corridors, borrow pit, and village and power station footprints that are located higher in the landscape in open woodland. 6: WATER REQUIREMENTS Licensing provisions apply to Water Control Districts and Water Allocation Plan areas. Contact the Department of Land Resource Management (DLRM) Water Resources Division on (08) 8999 4613 for advice on whether this applies to you. Is a water license required? Yes No If yes please advise the current status of the water license: Approved (please attach copy of permit) Pending approval Application to be lodged Project Sea Dragon requires both freshwater and seawater. There is sufficient fresh water available from the property’s existing dam to satisfy the Project’s needs for Stage 1 (7 to 9 GL/y). The dam’s current capacity is 35 GL. At full scale development the Project requires an average of 75 to 90 GL/y of fresh water. There is an existing and current license for freshwater extraction from Forsyth Creek Dam (License Number: 8110019) that enables the extraction of water for the property (Attachment 5).

  • Kunmanggur, Legend and Leadership a Study of Indigenous Leadership and Succession Focussing on the Northwest Region of the North
    KUNMANGGUR , LEGEND AND LEADERSHIP A STUDY OF INDIGENOUS LEADERSHIP AND SUCCESSION FOCUSSING ON THE NORTHWEST REGION OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY OF AUSTRALIA Bill Ivory Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Charles Darwin University 2009 Declaration This is to certify that this thesis comprises only my original work towards the Ph.D., except where indicated, that due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other materials used, and that this thesis is less than 100,000 words in length excluding Figures, Tables and Appendices. Bill Ivory 2009 ii Acknowledgements I wish to thank my supervisors Kate Senior, Diane Smith and Will Sanders. They have been extremely supportive throughout this research process with their expert advice, enthusiasm and encouragement. A core group of Port Keats leaders supported this thesis project. They continually encouraged me to record their stories for the prosperity of their people. These people included Felix Bunduck, Laurence Kulumboort, Bernard Jabinee, Patrick Nudjulu, Leo Melpi, Les Kundjil, Aloyisius Narjic, Bede Lantjin, Terence Dumoo, Ambrose Jongmin. Mathew Pultchen, Gregory Mollinjin, Leo Melpi, Cassima Narndu, Gordon Chula and many other people. Sadly, some of these leaders passed away since the research commenced and I hope that this thesis is some recognition of their extraordinary lives. Boniface Perdjert, senior traditional owner and leader for the Kardu Diminin clan was instrumental in arranging for me to attend ceremonies and provided expert information and advice. He was also, from the start, very keen to support the project. Leon Melpi told me one day that he and his middle-aged generation are „anthropologists‟ and he is right.

  • EPBC Act Referral - Project Sea Dragon Stage 1 Hatchery - Gunn Point
    EPBC Act referral - Project Sea Dragon Stage 1 Hatchery - Gunn Point Title of Proposal - Project Sea Dragon Stage 1 Hatchery - Gunn Point Section 1 - Summary of your proposed action Provide a summary of your proposed action, including any consultations undertaken. 1.1 Project Industry Type Aquaculture 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities. This EPBC Act referral has been prepared for the Project Sea Dragon Stage 1 Hatchery (the Project) proposed to be developed at Gunn Point in the Northern Territory. The Stage 1 Hatchery is a component of a larger project, Project Sea Dragon. Project Sea Dragon is a large, fully integrated, prawn aquaculture project located in northern Australia. Project Sea Dragon will be delivered as an integrated production system, providing reliable, long-term, high quality and large scale production of Black Tiger prawns (Penaeus monodon). Project Sea Dragon focuses on sustainable land use and integrated design practices to maintain surrounding river and coastal environments and support adjacent agricultural land uses. For the reasons outlined in Sections 1.15 and 1.16, this referral relates only to the Project Sea Dragon Stage 1 Hatchery. The Stage 1 Hatchery has the sole purpose of producing post-larval prawns for the Stage 1 Legune Grow-out Facility, located at Legune Station over 800 km from the proposed Project site. The Stage 1 Hatchery involves: - the breeding, spawning, and rearing of larval prawns until they are 15 days into the post-larval stage within the Stage 1 Hatchery module; - the supply, storage, use and discharge of seawater and freshwater; - the generation of power; - the construction and operation of ancillary infrastructure such as waste management facilities, sewerage systems, road infrastructure, managers accommodation and site administration.

' Hi story The township of Wyndham was established in 1886 primarily as an off-loading point for miners proceeding to the Halls Creek goldrush. It later became the Kimberley base for the firm of Connor and Doherty (later to become Connor, Doherty and Durack) which acted as a broker to the fledgling pastoral industry, and eventually owned a number of pastoral leases in the region. J\fter much lobbying by Kimberley pastoralists, the Wyndham meatworks was built and opened in 1919, but was immediately beset by 1 diffi cult i es caused by inexperienced workers and strikes for higher pay• (Durack 1983: 365).
