Mining commenced at Cooljarloo in 1989 at Mullering Farm. Since this time both dry and dredge mining has occurred across the project area and into the Falcon area. Tronox propose to expand their current mining operations to Cooljarloo West, which is located south-west of Falcon and west of the main Cooljarloo operations. Several baseline flora and vegetation assessments, conservation significant flora surveys and impact assessments have been conducted over the project tenements since 2006 which have identified several conservation significant flora taxa as occurring within the project area. This data has been entered into an in-house database (managed by Tronox in conjunction with Iluka Resources Limited) of conservation significant flora taxa records known from within their lease areas, including the leases at Dongara. Records include ones held by the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC), as well as consultant information (e.g. records collected on behalf of Tronox by Woodman Environmental and other consultants). All available data on these taxa was collated and reviewed with the aim of providing information on the known populations of these taxa and to make recommendations on changes to their conservation status. A total of four Threatened, six Priority One taxa, six Priority Two taxa, 22 Priority 3 taxa and 10 Priority 4 taxa are listed as occurring within the Cooljarloo West area by the Department of Environment and Conservation and Tronox. The results of the review of known population data for these taxa is summarised below. Taxa Current Recommended Comments Status Status Further survey required to locate additional populations Andersonia gracilis

  • Implementation Strategies for a Heritage Trail That Would Link the Great Southern Shires in Western Australia
    PROJECT # 31009 Implementation strategies for a heritage trail that would link the Great Southern Shires in Western Australia The “Heritage of Endeavour” project. By Michael Hughes and Jim Macbeth ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, we acknowledge the contribution of Lindley Chandler to this final report. Lindley undertook this project as part of her Masters degree and carried out all of the basic ground work and community consultation. Unfortunately, due to ill health, Lindley was unable to write the final report. Nonetheless, the report is based on her work in the Central Great Southern. Russell Pritchard, Regional Officer with the Great Southern Development Commission, provided invaluable advice and support in further developing and crystallising the ideas within this report. Many other Central Great Southern community members contributed information as detailed in the reference list at the end of the report. The authors also acknowledge the support of the Sustainable Tourism Cooperative Research Centre, an Australian Government initiative, in funding this project.

  • Chapter 5: Road Infrastructure
    5 Road Infrastructure 5.1 A substantial proportion of AusLink funding is being applied to the improvement of Australia’s main road networks. In this chapter the Committee examines road connections, in areas other than port precincts, brought to its attention during this inquiry – either in evidence or during site visits – where funding of road improvements was demonstrated to be a priority. 5.2 As with rail links in the last Chapter, where the road issues relate directly to a port, they have been dealt with in Chapter 3. 5.3 It is obviously vital for the main highways to be brought up to an acceptable international standard. However, the Committee received evidence from a wide range of sources indicating that there are bottlenecks and “missing links” in other parts of the freight transport system, that are holding back its overall expansion and efficiency. 5.4 In many areas, the infrastructure needed is a section of road that is not covered by either funding from the AusLink program, or by State government funding. The chapter highlights some of these areas, where a project would make a marked difference to the efficiency, and/or safety, of the freight network and, in some instances, the GDP of a region. 5.5 This Chapter also refers to some problems of inconsistency between states and territories and the regulations they apply to freight transport by road. 134 Road Weight Limits 5.6 The question of increasing allowable road weight limits and axle loadings was raised by a number of participants in the inquiry. The difficulties caused by varying regulations between states were also raised.
