Go Jindabyne Utilities and Servicing Strategy Public Release of Technical Studies from the Go Jindabyne Master Plan February 2020 *Please read this letter prior to reading the attached report* Go Jindabyne Master Plan The Go Jindabyne Master Plan was announced in November 2018, to revitalise Jindabyne into Australia’s premier alpine destination at the heart of the Snowy Mountains, and grow the town into a great place to live, work and visit year-round. Upon commencement of the project, the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment commissioned a range of technical studies to develop an evidence base that would subsequently inform drafting of the Go Jindabyne Master Plan. The technical studies commissioned for the Go Jindabyne Master Plan were conducted between March and July 2019 by specialist consultants with expertise in a variety of different fields: 1. Demographics and Housing Study (Consultant: City Plan) 2. Environment and Heritage Study (Consultant: NGH Environmental) 3. Economic Development and Tourism Study (Consultant: Hill PDA) 4. Mobility and Connectivity Study (Consultant: GTA Consultants) 5. Infrastructure and Services Study (Consultant: Aecom) Analysis of the technical studies listed above, together with public consultation conducted in 2019, made it apparent that Jindabyne, as a town, is heavily dependent on the economic activity that occurs outside of the town itself – particularly within Kosciuszko National Park. Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct In response, the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct was announced in November 2019, to expand the scope of the Go Jindabyne Master Plan to encompass the wider Snowy Mountains region. The Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct will continue to focus on Jindabyne’s transformation into Australia’s Alpine Capital, but will now also include the high-visitation areas within the southern region of Kosciuszko National Park as well as the key transport corridors between Jindabyne and the alpine resorts. The objective of the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct is to increase year- round tourism by making the region an unmissable place to visit during any season. Benefits offered by a Special Activation Precinct include streamlined planning, government-led development, and a business concierge service that will make it easier for new businesses to set up in the region and for existing organisations to thrive. The Special Activation Precinct will build upon the work already undertaken as part of the Go Jindabyne Master Plan to identify opportunities to: • promote the development of year-round adventure and eco-tourism attractions and improve tourism amenity within the region, • improve access within and to the region, to support increased visitation numbers, • remove capacity constraints to enable growth in winter tourism, and • grow the region into Australia’s national training base for high performance alpine athletes and para-athletes. Public Release of Go Jindabyne Technical Studies The Department is now publicly releasing the technical studies from the Go Jindabyne Master Plan, as part of our ongoing commitment to community engagement and transparency. Please note that these technical studies were conducted under the original scope of the Go Jindabyne Master Plan and thus may no longer be relevant and are not directly applicable to the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct, given its expanded scope. Accordingly, the findings of these Go Jindabyne technical studies are subject to change through the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct process. For this reason, we are not seeking public comments on these technical studies. Please also note that at this stage, the findings of these technical studies have not been endorsed by the NSW Government. You will find that some information has been redacted from these technical studies to protect culturally and commercially sensitive information and ensure privacy of landholders. Specifically, the following information has been redacted: • Demographics and Housing Study The following information has been redacted because it contains commercially sensitive information related to specific properties in Jindabyne: • Tables 36, 41, 43, 44, 46, 48, 68 and 69 (as well as their references in the table of contents). • Figures 58, 80 and 81 (as well as their references in the table of contents). • Text on pages 113, 151 and 156. • Environment and Heritage Study The following information has been redacted to protect sensitive Aboriginal cultural heritage information, or because further analysis is required to confirm the accuracy of these findings: • Figures 4-2, 4-7, 4-8, 4-9, 5-4, 5-5, 5-7, 5-8, 5-9, 6-3, 6-4, 6-5, 7-1, and 7-2 (as well as their references in the table of contents). These Go Jindabyne technical studies will be reviewed in detail through the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct process, and their respective scopes will be expanded to reflect the larger investigation area that now includes areas of Kosciuszko National Park. The technical studies that will be prepared for the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct will be publicly released in early 2021 when the draft Snowy Mountains Master Plan is released for public comment. Next Steps The NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment will continue to work closely with the community, stakeholders, Snowy Monaro Regional Council, and other NSW Government agencies on the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct. Community consultation on the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct commenced in early 2020, and will continue throughout the project. To keep informed on the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct, please visit our project website at www.planning.nsw.gov.au/snowymountainssap and subscribe to our email list to receive future updates and opportunities to have your say. Any questions regarding these technical studies or the Snowy Mountains Special Activation Precinct can be directed to Rukshan de Silva, Principal Planner, at [email protected]. We look forward to working with you to shape the future of the Snowy Mountains.

  • The Persistence of Common Wombats in Road Impacted Environments
    The persistence of common wombats in road impacted environments Erin Roger PhD thesis School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences University of New South Wales August 2009 “We treat the attrition of [wildlife] lives on the road like the attrition of lives in war: horrifying, unavoidable, justified.” Barry Lopez, Apologia PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Roger First name: Erin Other name/s: Katherine Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Biological Earth & Environmental Faculty: Science Sciences Title: The persistence of common wombats in road impacted environments Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) There is growing global concern over the influence of road development on the conservation of biodiversity and on the functioning of ecosystems. Published reviews in the field of road ecology have identified that most research has examined the effects of roads linearly and have advocated for research at landscape scales. Among the many effects roads have, one of the most significant is the loss of animal life resulting from collisions with vehicles. Despite this, little is known of what toll this has on animal populations and how these impacts vary with scale. This stems from the perception that impacts are localised and that animals killed are typically considered common, and therefore not of great conservation concern. This thesis challenges this notion by showing that the impacts of fatalities can affect populations at landscape extents and that commonness is not a barrier to localised extinction risk. To achieve this I focus on the common wombat; an example of a common species for which road impacts have never been previously examined.

  • Kosciuszko National Park Fire Management Strategydownload
    Kosciuszko National Park Fire Management Strategy 2008–2013 Acknowledgment The Kosciuszko National Park Fire Management Strategy 2008 - 2013 recognises that the Park is within landscape that gives identity to Aboriginal people, who have traditional and historical connections to this land. Aboriginal people are recognised and respected as the original custodians of the lands, waters, animals and plants now within the Park. Their living and spiritual connections with the land through traditional laws, customs and beliefs passed on from their ancestors are also recognised. NPWS will continue to be committed to actively engage traditional custodians and relevant Aboriginal organisations, in protecting managing and interpreting the needs of Kosciuszko National Park. The landscapes of Kosciuszko National Park are the sum total of the interactions between the basic natural elements of water, air, rocks, soils, fire, plants and animals. Each of these living and non-living attributes have been altered by thousands of years of human habitation and use which have left behind layers of human artefacts, memories, stories and meanings. The management of these attributes, and the values bestowed upon them, is a complex task and will not always be based upon a complete understanding of the implications of individual management decisions. A precautionary and adaptive approach to management is required - one that appreciates the interconnective and inseparable nature of the elements of the landscape. (NPWS, 2006c pg 37) Kosciusko National Park Fire Management Strategy 2008 - 2013 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This Fire Management Strategy was prepared by Jamie Molloy with the assistance of staff from the Snowy Mountains and South West Slopes Regions of the National Parks and Wildlife Service, staff from the Threatened Species Unit, the Reserve Conservation Planning & Performance Unit, and the Public Affairs Division of the Department of Environment and Climate Change.

  • Planning Statement
    Our Ref: DOC20/266610-3 Your Ref: Draft LSPS – e-mail dated 2 April 2020 General Manager Byron Shire Council PO Box 219 Mullumbimby NSW 2482 Attention: Ms Alex Caras Dear Mr Arnold RE: Byron Shire Council – Draft Local Strategic Planning Statement I refer to the e-mail from Mr Peter Cameron from the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment dated 2 April 2020 about the Byron Shire Council’s Draft Local Strategic Planning Statement (Draft LSPS), seeking comments from the Department’s Biodiversity and Conservation Division (BCD) in the Environment, Energy and Science Group. I appreciate the opportunity to provide input. The BCD was formerly part of the Office of Environment and Heritage, but now forms part of a Group that has responsibilities relating to biodiversity (including threatened species and ecological communities, or their habitats), Aboriginal cultural heritage, National Parks and Wildlife Service estate, climate change, sustainability, flooding, coastal and estuary matters. We have undertaken a comprehensive review of the Draft LSPS and its associated strategies and plans. While we recognise there are restrictions on the length of LSPSs, generally, the Draft LSPS lacks specific actions for the Byron Shire Council (BSC) to satisfy the Directions of the North Coast Regional Plan (NCRP). In addition, the LSPS may be unable to achieve the desired themes and planning priorities, based on the planning priorities and actions contained therein. These issues are discussed in detail in Attachment 1 to this letter. In summary, the BCD recommends that: 1. The additional actions set out in Attachment 1 of this letter should be included within the Draft LSPS to ensure that biodiversity values are identified and protected.
