Regional Threats, Actions and Priorities the Previous Sections Provided Detailed Information for Each of the 46 Cells Bryars (2013) Nearshore marine habitats of the AMLRNRM region: values, threats and actions Regional threats, actions and priorities The previous sections provided detailed information for each of the 46 cells. However, those individual cell descriptions did not provide information at a more regional scale that may be useful in terms of catchment management, local government area management and identifying generic threats, and they also do not consider cumulative threats within each cell. In an attempt to address these issues, the present section provides information on threats, actions and priorities at a more regional scale. In order to account for cumulative threats within each cell, a cumulative risk score was calculated by summing all of the risk values for all habitats and issues within each cell (Table 7). These cumulative risk scores were then categorised as none (=0), low (1–15), medium (16–30) and high (>30) to provide a visual summary of regional threats (Figure 4). The highest cumulative risk scores were located off the Adelaide metropolitan coast (Cells MA8–10 and MA12–19), in Rapid Bay (Cell F21) and in Encounter Bay (Cells F10–11) (Figure 4, Table 7). Regions with medium cumulative risk scores were located off southern metropolitan Adelaide, in Yankalilla Bay, from Cape Jervis to Rapid Head and in Encounter Bay (Figure 4). Outside of these areas, threats were low to none (Figure 4). The high cumulative risk scores for the Adelaide region were due to a combination of stormwater, catchment water and wastewater as well as various other issues that threaten the reef, seagrass and sand habitats (see individual cell summaries). The high score for Rapid Bay was mainly driven by the extreme risk rating (RV=24) given to ongoing smothering of reef habitat from the Rapid Bay quarry gravel train (see Cell F21). The high and medium scores for Encounter Bay were mainly due to the threat to reef and seagrass habitats from stormwater and catchment water via the Hindmarsh and Inman Rivers (see Cells F10 and F11). The medium scores for Yankalilla Bay were mainly due to the threat to reef and seagrass habitats from stormwater and catchment water via the Yankalilla River, Bungala River and/or Carrickalinga Creek (see Cells F22–26). Using a similar rationale to Bryars (2003) in the Fish Habitat Inventory, the AMLRNRM region was divided into six geographical areas (Table 8, Figure 5). These geographical areas enable a more holistic approach to threat mitigation in terms of catchment management, generic threats and local government area actions (Figure 5). It is apparent that five of the six geographical areas have a high level of cumulative threats to nearshore marine habitats: northern Adelaide, Holdfast Bay, southern Adelaide, Yankalilla Bay and Encounter Bay. The southern Fleurieu area has a relatively low level of cumulative threats to nearshore marine habitats. Table 9 provides a summary of issues, proposed actions, priority of actions and key players across the six geographical areas based upon the combined information from the 46 individual cell descriptions. When summarising this information across a geographical area, generic issues were combined and the highest priority rating (Low, Medium or High) across the cells within a given area was presented for each issue. While each geographical area has a differing number of issues, many of the issues are consistent across areas, e.g. sediments and nutrients from catchment water and stormwater (Table 9). Nonetheless, the priority of action for such issues often differs between geographical regions (Table 9). Table 10 provides a list of those marine cells that are adjacent to each local government area with a coastal boundary (see also Figure 5). It is apparent that some local government areas are adjacent to 311 Bryars (2013) Nearshore marine habitats of the AMLRNRM region: values, threats and actions just one or two marine cells, while others are adjacent to many cells (e.g. City of Onkaparinga). Table 11 then provides a list of which local government areas are relevant to the six broad geographical areas; these local government areas include both those with coastal boundaries (as in Table 10) and those that lie inland but within a catchment that connects to the coast within that geographical area. When this information is used in conjunction with the identified marine cell and regional threats/issues, local government areas can gain some insight to their links with (and responsibilities to) the marine environment. It is apparent that the Encounter Bay, Southern Fleurieu, Yankalilla Bay and Southern Adelaide geographical areas are each associated with few local government areas, but for the Holdfast Bay and Port Adelaide areas, the situation is more complicated due to the higher number of relevant local government areas.

  • Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site PLACE NO.: 26454
    South Australian HERITAGE COUNCIL SUMMARY OF STATE HERITAGE PLACE REGISTER ENTRY Entry in the South Australian Heritage Register in accordance with the Heritage Places Act 1993 NAME: Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site PLACE NO.: 26454 ADDRESS: Franklin Parade, Encounter Bay, SA 5211 Uncovered well 23 November 2017 Site works complete June 2019 Source DEW Source DEW Cultural Safety Warning Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples should be aware that this document may contain images or names of people who have since passed away. STATEMENT OF HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The Rosetta Head Well and Whaling Station Site is on the lands and waters of the Ramindjeri people of the lower Fleurieu Peninsula, who are a part of the Ngarrindjeri Nation. The site represents a once significant early industry that no longer exists in South Australia. Founded by the South Australian Company in 1837 and continually operating until 1851, it was the longest-running whaling station in the State. It played an important role in the establishment of the whaling industry in South Australia as a prototype for other whaling stations and made a notable contribution to the fledgling colony’s economic development. The Rosetta Head Whaling Station is also an important contact site between European colonists and the Ramindjeri people. To Ramindjeri people, the whale is known as Kondli (a spiritual being), and due to their connection and knowledge, a number of Ramindjeri were employed at the station as labourers and boat crews. Therefore, Rosetta Head is one of the first places in South Australia where European and Aboriginal people worked side by side.

    INTRODUCTION 1. Introduction The Regional Youth Strategy 2007 – 2010 sets out a vision for young people in the Alexandrina Council and the City of Victor Harbor. It aims to provide a framework for actioning Councils’ policies and strategies. Young people are our future and it is in the interests of the region that Councils create youth friendly communities – an environment where young people choose to live, work and play. This document outlines the profile of young people, their issues and concerns, and endeavours to align with relevant National, State and Regional policies and plans. This document informs a policy framework based on the overriding Vision of: Fostering safe youth friendly communities where young people are respected and experience a strong sense of belonging; - and provides the Objectives and Strategies of the Youth Action Plan. 2. The Development of the Regional Youth Strategy The development of the Regional Youth Strategy and Action Plan has involved various consultative processes with a diverse range of young people such as; small group discussions and surveys, Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) meetings and planning days. In addition information was gathered from input from delegates at the YES Youth Engagement Seminar and discussions with agency groups such as the Southern Fleurieu Youth Network and Fleurieu Employment Skills Formation Network. Informal consultations took place with a number of agencies, groups and service providers, including; Southern Fleurieu Drug Action Network, Wet Paint Youth Theatre Group, Fleurieu Families, Open Door Community Centre, GoolwaSkill and Schools. The issues and concerns of young people in the region were identified through the data collected, local knowledge, and anecdotal information.

  • The Meeting of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin
    A Cordial Encounter? 53 A Cordial Encounter? The Meeting of Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin (8-9 April, 1802) Jean Fornasiero and John West-Sooby1 The famous encounter between Nicolas Baudin and Matthew Flinders in the waters off Australia’s previously uncharted south coast has now entered the nation’s folklore. At a time when their respective countries were locked in conflict at home and competing for strategic advantage on the world stage, the two captains were able to set aside national rivalries and personal disappointments in order to greet one another with courtesy and mutual respect. Their meeting is thus portrayed as symbolic of the triumph of international co-operation over the troubled geopolitics of the day. What united the two expeditions—the quest for knowledge in the spirit of the Enlightenment—proved to be stronger than what divided them. This enduring—and endearing—image of the encounter between Baudin and Flinders is certainly well supported by the facts as we know them. The two captains did indeed conduct themselves on that occasion in an exemplary manner, readily exchanging information about their respective discoveries and advising one another about the navigational hazards they should avoid or about safe anchorages where water and other supplies could be obtained. Furthermore, the civility of their meeting points to a strong degree of mutual respect, and perhaps also to a recognition of their shared experience as navigators whom fate had thrown together on the lonely and treacherous shores of the “unknown coast” of Australia. And yet, as appealing as it may be, this increasingly idealized image of the encounter runs the risk of masking some of its subtleties and complexities.

Having been given the honour of being the President of the Murray & Mallee Local Government Association (M&MLGA) in June 2003, I would like to say a big thank you to those who served before me. The previous Mayor of Loxton-Waikerie, Jan Cass did a lot of work in her role as President of the M&MLGA and I would like to acknowledge her great contribution to our organization. We have been kept busy on the M&MLGA front with bimonthly meetings held in our Region that have been well supported by the member councils and we have enjoyed great communications from our LGA Executive. One of the main topics lately has been the Natural Resource Management Bill. We are all waiting to find out how it will all work and the input from State Executive has been great. Thank you. Ken Coventry has continued to serve the M&MLGA well as he organises all our guest speakers and represents us on a lot of other committees. He has, however, now indicated he wishes to retire as Chief Executive Officer of the M&MLGA and will stay in place until we appoint a new CEO. On behalf of the M&MLGA I would like to say a big thank you to Ken for his untiring work and dedication to his duty and he will be sorely missed.

  • 2.4 the VOYAGE and CONDITIONS on ARRIVAL1 the Navarino Was A
    2.4 THE VOYAGE AND CONDITIONS ON ARRIVAL1 The Navarino was a three masted barque, of 463 tons, that had been built in 1808 and rebuilt in 1835 so it was a relatively new ship. It sailed from Blackwall on 24 August via Gravesend, London on 26 August 1837 and it arrived in South Australia in December, initially at Nepean Bay, Kangaroo Island, on 30 November 1837 to drop off a few passengers and then finally to Adelaide on 6 December 1837. The ship was under the command of Captain Christopher Abel Warming and the voyage took 102 days indicating that it did not call into another port along the way. The ship carried 217 passengers of which 151 were adults and 66 were children. The Navarino would have travelled the usual route for migrant ships to South Australia. This took the ship heading across the Atlantic Ocean from the “bulge” of North Africa to the region off Rio de Janeiro before making for a point well south of the Cape of Good Hope where the ship was turned towards Australia. All captains sought the Roaring Forties of latitude that could be found in that vicinity. These constantly blowing winds materially shortened the trip but produced uncomfortable conditions aboard. However, a shortening of the trip was welcomed by even the migrants.2 By the time the ship had reached these latitudes about three quarters of the voyage had elapsed and the migrants had become accustomed to ship life and could withstand the rigours of the last part of the journey.
