  • To: Standing Committee on Economics, House of Representatives, Parliament of Australia
    SUBMISSION 34 1 Submission on Wild Rivers Bill 2010. To: Standing Committee on Economics, House of Representatives, Parliament of Australia, Re: Inquiry into Indigenous economic development in Queensland and review of Wild Rivers Bill 2010. From: Emeritus Professor John Holmes, School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Management, The University of Queensland, 4072. Date: 7 February, 2011. Two issues are central in assessing the merit of the Wild Rivers declarations. These relate to property rights and to economic impacts, primarily for Indigenous people. This submission is directed towards economic issues. There are two questions requiring informed consideration. The first is to provide realistic appraisals of the immediate and longer-term economic opportunities in the declared catchments and riparian zones. The second is to determine the likely economic impacts of the declarations, including both positive and negative outcomes, particularly for the Indigenous people. Regional Economic Appraisal: Cape York Peninsula There are inescapable geographical impediments militating against broadscale agricultural and pastoral enterprises and against capital-intensive tourism on the peninsula. The peninsula lacks any lands of significant agricultural potential, comparable with extensive tracts in the Ord, Fitzroy or Douglas-Daly districts, capable of meeting any major impulses towards rural development in the tropical savannas. Environmental constraints are reinforced by formidable accessibility barriers, where, again, the peninsula is disadvantaged when compared with these other districts. There is a steep accessibility gradient towards the peninsula’s northern cul- de-sac. Inaccessibility leads to prohibitive cost burdens on agricultural inputs, notably fuel and fertilisers and also on marketing of outputs. In addition to the cost burdens, there are logistic impediments in ensuring reliability, frequency and timeliness in transport systems, reinforced during the Wet Season.

  • Mount Canobolas Fauna Survey
    MOUNT CANOBOLAS FAUNA SURVEY 24TH – 29th MARCH 2019 1 Introduction Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area The Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area (SCA) Draft Plan of Management begins with the following vision for this reserve: Mount Canobolas State Conservation Area is a sentinel in the landscape. It is a park valued, understood and protected by the community for its uniqueness, biodiversity, visitor experiences, and for the spiritual and cultural connections between people and this special place, now and into the future (OEH 2018). This iconic place is an extinct volcano rising to an altitude of 1397m asl and more than 500m above the surrounding central tablelands landscape. It has great significance for the local Wiradjuri custodians. The ecological values of this place are shaped by its high altitude, volcanic origins, isolation from similar geological formations and the extensive clearing of the surrounding landscape leaving it as a relatively isolated remnant of native vegetation. The presence of sub-alpine communities is particularly noteworthy (OEH 2018). The SCA incorporates an area of 1672 ha. The vegetation communities of the Mt Canobolas SCA have been broadly described and mapped with the following communities defined: 1. Eucalyptus macrorhyncha – E. dives: shrubby open forest and woodland (26% of the SCA) a. E. macrorhyncha dominant in more exposed sites b. E. dives dominant in less exposed sites 2. E. pauciflora – E. dalrympleana: Grassy woodlands and tall open forests (51% of the SCA) a. E. pauciflora – E. canobolensis grassy woodlands b. E. dalrympleana – E. viminalis tall open forests 3. Outcrop low open woodland (E. canobolensis – E. petroc?) and / or shrubs 4.

  • Introduction 1 Management Approach 2 Project
    OzEpsilon-1 Exploration Well Environmental Management Plan Summary 1 INTRODUCTION Statoil has planned an exploration drilling program of up to five wells to be carried out in 2014. Site and access construction are scheduled for June 2014 with the OzEpsilon-1 exploration well scheduled to be drilled in July 2014. The well site is located in EP 128 in the Georgina Basin in the eastern part of the Northern Territory approximately 420 km north east of Alice Springs. Co-ordinates for the well site are: 699244mE, 7652877mS (UTM, Zone 53). A map of the location is contained in Appendix 2. After the operations Statoil will permanently plug the OzEpsilon-1 well and carry out remediation works in consultation with the pastoral lessee. 2 MANAGEMENT APPROACH Statoil employs highly skilled and experienced engineers and consultants to ensure that the environmental risks from its operations are as low as reasonably practicable. Statoil acknowledges the importance of the sustainable development to secure its future and to ensure the ongoing relationship with all stakeholders. The drilling of OzEpsilon-1 has been planned based on the following principles: - Minimise interference with the use of the land by other persons; - Prevent unnecessary disturbance of flora, fauna and other natural resources; - Avoid pollution of soil, water or the atmosphere; - Minimise the incidence and effects of soil erosion. 3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The core activities involved in the OzEpsilon-1 project involve access and site construction, drilling and site rehabilitation. Access to the well site and camp site will be via a cleared track from the Sandover Highway totalling approximately 500 meters.

  • Bibliography of the Barkly Tablelands
    BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BARKLY TABLELANDS Samantha Cook and Eric Rooke Natural Resources Division Department of Lands, Planning & Environment Alice Springs May 1998 ReportNo. 06/1998A This report has been updated to include additional bibliographic references found after the 1998 production. Eric Rooke, August 1999 INTRODUCTION The main aim of the “Barkly / Gulf Water Resources Assessment” project entails mapping the regional water resources of the Northern Territory part of the Barkly Tablelands; an area of 160,000km2. (Overleaf is a location map of the region with 1:250,000 scale National Topographic Map Series sheet boundaries superimposed). Duties of the project include the assessment of water resource systems and production of a series of water information products (maps and technical reports). This project is funded under the auspices of the National Heritage Trust (National Landcare Program). The bibliography has been compiled for intended use as a reference resource. A comprehensive list of documents and maps relating to the Barkly region, since European settlement, has been collated and catalogued into discrete subjects; for example “water supply”, “geology”. The entries are sorted alphabetically by the author’s surname. Each entry details the title, author’s name, publisher, published date, library call number (the shelf number), and library in which it is held. The “source” of the document is its printed form; that is, a book, a journal article, a report or a seminar proceedings, etc. To assist in research, a summary (in some cases an “abstract” or “extract” is quoted) of the document is provided, along with keywords and an ease of reading category.
