    Daryl Maguire MP Member for Wagga Wagga PRESS RELEASE 22 September 2017 $23 MILLION ROAD RESEALING SEASON STARTS IN SOUTH WEST NSW As the weather improves, so too do the optimal conditions for road resealing – triggering the start of a $23 million program to be rolled out in the next seven months through south western NSW. Daryl Maguire MP, Member for Wagga Wagga said the NSW Government funded work will deliver 4.3 million square metres of much-needed resealing work from Yass to Wentworth, Hillston to Albury and everywhere in between from September to May next year. “More than 4.5 million litres of bitumen and 25,000 cubic metres of aggregate will be rolled out by Roads and Maritime Services in the next seven months,” Mr Maguire said. “The resealing process involves the resurfacing of roads to protect the underlying structure and provide a safe, textured surface for motorists to travel on.” More than 370 kilometres of resealing work will be carried out at various locations on the Sturt Highway, Silver City Highway, Olympic Highway, Irrigation Way, Cobb Highway, Snowy Mountains Highway, Barton Highway, Hume Highway, Riverina Highway, Kidman Way, Burley Griffin Way, Newell Highway, Mid Western Highway and Lachlan Valley Way. “Work will be delivered in mostly rural areas, some semi-rural areas and some urban areas, with some of this work will be delivered by local councils and industry partners on behalf of Roads and Maritime,” Mr Maguire said. “The South West sealing crew, consisting of 17 workers based at Narrandera, is one of three Roads and Maritime crews delivering this high-value, high-volume work across NSW.

  • Water Cycle with Zero Discharge at Tumut Pulp and Paper Mill New South Wales - Australia
    WATER CYCLE WITH ZERO DISCHARGE AT TUMUT PULP AND PAPER MILL NEW SOUTH WALES - AUSTRALIA OTTO SZOLOSI, Senior Projects Engineer - Water/Waste Water/Irrigation, [email protected] VISY PAPER PROJECTS, Building D, 13 Reo Crescent, Campbellfield, Victoria, 3061 Australia Abstract The Tumut Visy Pulp and Paper Mill is one of the cleanest mills in the world, reflecting Visy Industries’ commitment to sustainable manufacturing. Visy Industries have developed a new Pulp and Paper Mill in Tumut, NSW – Australia, which showcased innovative environmental and sustainable energy technologies, including the biggest continuous biomass energy facility in Australia. Construction of the mill began in 1999 and was complete it by 2001. Total investment in the project was AUD$435 million. The Tumut Mill used extensive industry experience and many well-known companies in the paper industry to engineer an advanced mill concept with zero levels of effluent leaving the site. Careful project planning included steps to minimise raw water intake, maximise reuse opportunities and reduce effluent. The Tumut Pulp and Paper Mill produces 300,000 tonnes of unbleached kraft pulp and paper board per year, from around 800,000 tones of pine plantation pulp logs and forest waste plus recycled paper, cardboard and sawmill residues, using advanced cleaner production technology and achieving significant reuse. Per tonne of pulp, it is one of the most resource efficient and pollution free operations in the world. Its raw water consumption (4.61 m3/tonne of paper) and effluent discharge (1.53 m3/tonne of paper) are believed to be the lowest in the world. Treated effluent is irrigated on a 110 ha farm, around the Mill producing fodder for cattle.
