Background of Botany: Botany is a suburb located in the south-eastern region of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The suburb Botany is located 11 kilometres south of the Sydney Central business district and sits on the north shore area of Botany Bay and is therefore part of the Bayside Council. Initially, Botany was planned on an agricultural district, this was the same as the neighbouring suburbs, that were used for market gardens. However, this soon became an industrial area with slaughter works. On the shores of Botany Bay, there is a popular hotel (Sir Joseph Banks Hotel). In 1850s, a private zoo had been established there and anyone who visited during this time, were able to horse ride, play football and cricket. In 1858, The Sydney Waterworks were established in Botany. International athletes challenged the locals in the Sir Joseph Banks Handicap on the racetrack. The Sir Joseph Banks pleasure gardens were renovated with local industry contributions in 1988. The racing track was fixed and renewed just as an annual event (Botany Bay Gift) started again, this attracted a lot of international athletes, that were keen in competition. History of Botany: The heritage of the Botany area is closely correlated to the discovery of the eastern seaboard of Australia and the start of the nation. Captain James Cook first discovered, more so ‘discovered,’ this continent, when he first made a landfall at Botany Bay in 1770. Along with the Endeavour’s botanist, Joseph Banks and his assistant, Daniel Solander, they both spent several days ashore, recounting and collecting a range of previously unknown species of plants. At the beginning, Captain Cook had always wanted to name Botany Bay as ‘Stingray’s Harbour,’ however, after Bank’s findings, he decided to settle with the name ‘Botany Bay.’ Due to this, Botany, might as well claim to have the oldest English place name in Australia. There are two specific and significant elements that symbolises the City of Botany Bay’s emblem, these include, botany and the water. These two signifies the vital importance of the area. When Governor Philip arrived in 1788, he found the bay way too shallow in some areas and so he deemed it unsuitable as a harbour. As a result, to this, the First Fleet sailed on Port Jackson finding a more suitable site for settlement at Sydney Cove. In 1809, Edward Redmond, became the first ever recorded white settler in the Botany region, the land was so swampy that he named it ‘Mudbank.’ First people on land - Aboriginal people: Botany’s earliest residents were the Aboriginal people, they have lived in the Botany region for over 9000 years. It has been recorded and estimated approximately 1000 to 1200 aboriginal people lived around the shores of Botany Bay. The Aborigines called this land, ‘Gwea.’ However, shortly after, when European settlement took control of the land, the name soon became ‘Botany.’ The village was often referred to as ‘Booralee’ and it was seen on the maps that Botany beared this name. the Kameygal set up camps along the banks of the river, Cook River and on the northern shores of Botany Bay. The Gweagal mainly on the southern side around Kurnell, although the Aboriginal lines or boundaries are somewhat blurred. It was unclear to both the Aborigines and the European, which section of the land belongs to whom. The Cadigal were there at the time however, they were more to the western shores of the bay. In the Sydney atmosphere and climate, the Aboriginal people had thrived, and their way of life was perfect and undisturbed in their eyes until the English arrived and exposed them to diseases, which includes measles and smallpox, due to this, it decimated their people. Much to their peril, the Cardigal retreated further towards the West, and the local Botany tribes remained along the northern shoreline of Botany Bay. Early industries: In the earliest Botany industries, the three most important resource in the evolution includes, fishing, salt and shell lime. Water reserves below the Botany are still strategic in flooding the parks and reserves in the area. Under Botany, a thin layer of sandy soil and mulch, encompasses the Botany Aquifer, which acts like a sponge and retaining water for several months after each set of heavy rain. This section runs from higher ground at Centennial Parklands out to the North Shore of Botany Bay itself. A main section of this section of system is the Botany Wetlands, the largest freshwater wetland in the Sydney region. The European settlers and convicts on the land collected shells cast aside by the Aboriginal people and these were burned to create semi-rocks, lime for the manufacture of mortar for building buildings across Sydney. This was transported to Sydney town by small boats. Around the north shore area of Botany Bay, where tons of salt were produced per week, this was known as Saltpans. Fishing then became another strong early industry with plentiful supply, the fishing villages sprang up all around Botany Bay. This became an important part of Booralee village, and an interdependent community of established families gained the rewards of the sea throughout the profitable era, 1860s and 1870s. It is known that many of these related members of families still live within the area. There are several names which are carried by direct descendants of servants of the Lord family. These names include, Duncan, Bagnall, Johnson and Puckeridge. In 1815, Simeon Lord, who was an ex- convict took advantage of the natural landscape, when he dammed a stream close to Botany Bay and then established the first privately owned and run woollen mill on its banks and a flour mill on a nearby body of water. The two ponds he created are now local landmarks, known as the Engine pond and the Mill Pond. Simeon Lord was someone who recognised the value of Botany’s water and becoming really rich from controlling it. He became one of the colony’s earliest manufacturers and held several diverse business interests, which ranged from sealing to cloth manufacture. Lord was listed as the first person to export Australian wool. Old vs. New Botany: Botany road was surveyed as 1863, this road ran from Mascot to Botany. Until 1882, this road also known as ‘Corduroy Road’ was a toll zone road and charged on going people threepence. About a decade later, in the early 1880s, the horses powered the first tramline, this ran from Sydney’s central business district all the way to Botany. However, due to unfortunate turns, the tramline was electrified, which caused the tramline to cease operation in 1960s.

  • An Antillean Plant of Beauty, a French Botanist, and a German Name: Naming Plants in the Early Modern Atlantic World
    Estonian Journal of Ecology, 2012, 61, 1, 37–50 doi: 10.3176/eco.2012.1.05 An Antillean plant of beauty, a French botanist, and a German name: naming plants in the Early Modern Atlantic world Laura Hollsten Faculty of Arts, Åbo Akademi University, 20500 Åbo, Finland; [email protected] Received 10 December 2010, revised 7 March 2011, accepted 27 June 2011 Abstract. This paper investigates the naming of plants in the work of the French botanist Charles Plumier (1646–1704). Plumier made three trips to the French Antilles between 1690 and 1697, was appointed royal botanist in 1693, and published his first work, Description des Plantes de l’Amérique, in the same year. Plumier was the first ‘modern’ botanist to describe the flora of the Caribbean in a time when natural history underwent significant qualitative changes as a result of the European expansion and transatlantic contacts. Plumier’s ambition was to replace the confusing multitude of names given to New World plants with a universal taxonomically based nomenclature. His modernity and scientific ethos manifest themselves in his neutral way of organizing the plants according to a taxonomic system and his use of a Latin nomenclature, often naming plants after well-known botanists. Through Plumier’s naming process, I argue, it is possible to highlight the colonial and Atlantic context of his work, his network as part of the scientific elite of his country, and his professionalism resulting from years of botanical studies. Key words: history of botany, early modern natural history, plant nomenclature. INTRODUCTION According to a story entitled ‘The Tree of Riches’, the French botanist Charles Plumier decided that he would like to travel the world and get rich (Pellowski, 1990).

Demographic patterns of the palaemonid prawn Macrobrachium intermedium in southeastern Australia: spatial heterogeneity and the effects of species of seagrass Charles A. Gray* School of Biological Sciences, University of Sydney, 2006, NSW. Australia ABSTRACT. The effects of species of seagrass (Zostera capricorni and Posidonia australis) on spatial and temporal heterogeneity in the demography of estuarine populations of the palaemonid prawn Macrobrachium intermedium across 65 km of the Sydney region, southeastern Australia, were examined. Three estuaries were sampled in 1983 and 1984 to assess the magnitude of intra- and inter- estuary variability in demographic characteristics among populations. Species of seagrass had no effect on the demographic patterns of populations: differences in the magnitude and directions of change in abundances, recruitment, reproductive characteristics, size structures and growth were as great among populations within each species of seagrass as those between the 2 seagrasses Abiotic factors, such as the location of a meadow in relation to depth of water and distance offshore, and the interactions of these factors with recruiting larvae are hypothesised to have greater influence than the species of seagrass in determining the distribution and abundance of these prawns. Spatial and temporal heterogeneity in demography was similar across all spatial scales sampled: among meadows (50 m to 3 km apart) in an estuary and among meadows in all 3 estuaries (10 to 65 km apart). Variability in demographic processes among populations in the Sydney region was most likely due to stochastic factors extrinsic to the seagrasses then~selves.I conclude that the demography of seagrass-dwelling estuarine populations of M.

  • Communication Licence Rent
    Communication licences Fact sheet Communication licence rent In November 2018, the NSW Premier had the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) undertake a review of Rental arrangements for communication towers on Crown land. In November 2019, IPART released its final report to the NSW Government. To provide certainty to tenure holders while the government considers the report, implementation of any changes to the current fee structure will apply from the next renewal or review on or after 1 July 2021. In the interim, all communication tenures on Crown land will be managed under the 2013 IPART fee schedule, or respective existing licence conditions, adjusted by the consumer price index where applicable. In July 2014, the NSW Government adopted all 23 recommendations of the IPART 2013 report, including a rental fee schedule. Visit www.ipart.nsw.gov.au to see the IPART 2013 report. Density classification and rent calculation The annual rent for communication facilities located on a standard site depends on the type of occupation and the location of the facilities. In line with the IPART 2013 report recommendations, NSW is divided into four density classifications, and these determine the annual rent for each site. Table 1 defines these classifications. Annexure A further details the affected local government areas and urban centres and localities (UCLs) of the classifications. Figure 1 shows the location of the classifications. A primary user of a site who owns and maintains the communication infrastructure will incur the rent figures in Table 2. A co-user of a site will be charged rent of 50% that of a primary user.

  • Jellyfish Catostylus Mosaicus (Rhizostomeae) in New South Wales, Australia
    - MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 196: 143-155,2000 Published April 18 Mar Ecol Prog Ser l Geographic separation of stocks of the edible jellyfish Catostylus mosaicus (Rhizostomeae) in New South Wales, Australia K. A. Pitt*, M. J. Kingsford School of Biological Sciences, Zoology Building, A08 University of Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Australia ABSTRACT: The population structure of the commercially harvested jellyfish Catostylus mosaicus (Scyphozoa, Rhizostomeae) was investigated in estuaries and bays in New South Wales, Australia. Variations in abundance and recruitment were studied in 6 estuaries separated by distances ranglng from 75 to 800 km. Patterns of abundance differed greatly among estuaries and the rank abundance among estuaries changed on 5 out of the 6 times sampling occurred. Great variation in the timing of recruitment was also observed among estuaries. Variations in abundance and recruitment were as extreme among nearby estuaries as distant ones. Broad scale sampling and detailed time series of abundance over a period of 2.7 yr at 2 locations showed no consistent seasonal trend in abundance at 1 location, but there was some indication of seasonality at the second location. At Botany Bay, the abun- dance of medusae increased with distance into the estuary and on 19 out of the 30 times sampling occurred medusae were found at sites adjacent to where rivers enter the bay. Medusae were found to be strong swimmers and this may aid medusae in maintaining themselves in the upper-reaches of estu- aries, where advection from an estuary is least likely. Variability in patterns of abundance and recruit- ment suggested regulation by processes occurring at the scale of individual estuaries and, combined with their relatively strong swimming ability, supported a model of population retention within estuar- ies.

  • Community Insight Australia, Business Plan, 2014
    Design By .COM.AU Australia Insight Community This report is presented by Social Impact Hub. Written by: Max Huang, Monti Daryani, Luis Nunez and Vruchi Waje Supervised by: Jessica Roth and Lopa Mehrotra. November 2014 Executive Summary While hundreds of publicly available datasets are released everyday, many organisations do not have the in-house analytical capabilities to better target the work they are doing. Community Insight Australia is a platform that presents this data in easy to generate and analyse, user-defined reports, maps and information sets. It aims to provide not-for-profits, housing providers, corporations, local and state government agencies with the information they require to design better targeted solutions to solve local problems. Locally and internationally the competition for Community Insight Australia is strong, but what sets it apart is its user centred, unrestrictive interface, which means users can start geographical analytics immediately. Community Insight Australia has an exclusive licensing agreement with Community Insight UK, who will provide all back-end and technical support. The Founder of Community Insight Australia is Emma Tomkinson who has worked with the UK precedent and understands the problem that the Community Insight platform solves. The initial capital required is $143,185. This includes a one-off licensing fee to the UK parent organisation. With a total addressable market valued at $2.1 billion and the increasing importance of data mining, Community Insight Australia is poised for steady growth by selling into the public, social, and private sectors. Community Insight Australia employs a subscription-based pricing model, and forecasts to break-even and start repaying investors within the third year of operation.
