January 1990 - January 1994
Robyn was employed as the Beef Feedlot Husbandry Officer for the Department of Primary Industries. She participated in a multi-disciplinary team undertaking two Meat Research Corporation funded "Feedlot Waste Management" research projects.
Robyn investigated the: size, distribution and environmental management of Australian feedlots effect of diet type on cattle performance and faeces characteristics. This data was developed into a feedlot nutrient minimisation strategy. factors influencing odour generation from feedlot pads. These trials showed the importance of time since wetting, diet, pad temperature and pad pH on odour. nutrient dynamics in feedlots. This led to the development of a phosphorus mass balance model and the Beefbal model that predicts feedlot nutrient output. water intake patterns of cattle in Queensland feedlots.
Robyn participated in three major feedlot committees: DPI Feedlot Liaison Committee - focussed on animal health and production. DPI Queensland Feedlot Management Program - aimed to improve the profitability and operation of feedlots Australian Lot Feeders' Association (ALFA) / DPI "Designing Better Feedlots" Workshop Committee
Robyn co-ordinated training and presented information for: DPI Queensland Feedlot Management Program Seminar Series. Nine venues. DPI Feedlot Services "Workshop on Agricultural Odours". DPI-CES Feedlot Hand Training Course. DPI Feedlot Services "Odour Update '92". ALFA/DPI "Designing Better Feedlots" (September 1993). ALFA AGM, two-day workshop (three overseas speakers), two-day feedlot tour. Committee secretary.
Overseas Experience 1994: South Africa and Botswana consultancy visiting feedlot and helping to develop a feedlot layout and costing. 2006: USA study tour meeting feedlot environmental researchers and visiting feedlots. 2010: NZ study tour on biogas collection from piggery ponds and GHG research.

Page 2 of 2 “Artefact and Aspect” is an archaeological and historical consultancy based in Inverell, northern NSW. Established in 2009 (ABN:98325848091) and operating as a sole trader Tony Sonter is the field archaeologist / cultural heritage advisor. In the establishment year “Artefact and Aspect” was awarded a competitive “Innovative Business Partnership” with the Border Rivers Gwydir Catchment Management Authority (BR-G CMA). This award recognised the growing importance of heritage to the community and the need to have a wide base of knowledge with associated field expertise readily available for consultation in northern NSW. Archaeological assessments completed since establishment have largely been concentrated in the area of northern NSW generally termed New England / North West. These field assessments and Aboriginal Cultural Heritage (ACH) reports have been undertaken on behalf of a variety of clients that include both State and Federal Government Departments; Local Shire Councils; Local Aboriginal Land Councils (LALC); private companies involved in mining and / or agriculture and individual landholders dealing with Development Applications and objections thereto etc. (Specific assessment details available on request)
Such assessments and reports have followed the NSW State legislative requirements as outlined in:- • “Due Diligence Code of Practice for the Protection of Aboriginal Objects in NSW” (Sept. 2010) • “Guide to investigating, assessing and reporting on Aboriginal cultural heritage in NSW” (April, 2011) • “Code of Practice for Archaeological Investigation of Aboriginal Objects in NSW” (Sept. 2010)
Additionally several educational programmes have been developed and delivered for clients specific to their requirements relative to their employee base. These have included several State Government Departments, private contractors and Local Aboriginal Land Councils. (Course content / learning module examples available on request) The Code of Practice for Archaeological Investigation of Aboriginal Objects in NSW outlines in section 1.6 that the minimum qualifications for persons to undertake investigations to comply with this code are: 1. A minimum of a bachelors degree with honours ( Master of Letters equivalent ) or relevant experience in the field of Aboriginal cultural heritage management and 2. The equivalent of two years full-time experience in Aboriginal archaeological investigation, including involvement in a project of similar scope and 3. A demonstrated ability to conduct a project of the scope required.
The booklet “By Degrees – Benchmarking archaeology degrees in Australian universities” (Catherine Clarke- Project Manager; Di Davies-Editor. 2008) refers to an Honours graduate ( Master of Letters equivalent ) as being able to (among others): • Understand and apply archaeological fieldwork techniques. • Discover and recognise the significance of material remains and landscapes. • Be familiar with the basic concepts which underpin the subject. • Have knowledge of the ethical and legal frameworks for research and professional practice.
To this end, I hold among other tertiary qualifications, a post graduate Master of Letters degree by dissertation “Aboriginal Art on the North West Slopes of NSW”.
I have, in recent years, co-authored for the Border Rivers Gwydir – Catchment Management Authority (BRG-CMA) now Local Land Services (LLS) “Sticks and Stones” – a guide to stone artefacts, sites, wooden tools, weapons and implements used by Aboriginal people within the Border Rivers and Gwydir catchment. I also prepared a broadsheet for the BR-G CMA entitled “Looking after our Aboriginal heritage” – a landholders guide based on the concept of Due Diligence.
In 2011 I was the recipient of a Royal Australian Historical Society research project that resulted in the publication of “Dendroglyphs: Aboriginal Carved Trees of the New England Tableland and North-West Slopes of NSW”.

Experience Upon completion of an Environmental Science Degree in 1982 with a speciality in Land and Water Processes, work commenced for a period with BHP on mine rehabilitation assessment. (The environmental industry was in its infancy). I gained employment with the Queensland Water Resources Commission as a Farm Water Advisor. Duties involved soil testing, water quality monitoring, surface and groundwater hydrology assessment, catchment management planning, Peter Taylor Curriculum Vitae irrigation survey and design, water resource licensing, river hydrology monitoring, flood modelling and soil mapping. A period of two years was spent as a project manager for an AusAid program developing potable water schemes to rural villages in Fiji. In 1988 a position was obtained with SMK Consultants as an Irrigation and Environmental Consultant. The position has expanded over the past 26-years as a result of requirements for many developments to prepare environmental impact assessments and investigations. Throughout this period, the job has entailed managing a team of environmental and irrigation specialists to prepare a wide range of environmental reports, development assessments and provide advice to many industries in the northwest region of NSW, Qld, WA and the northern Territory. The position has allowed close work with Qld and NSW EPA, Government Departments, Councils, Lands Departments and CMA’s in this region as the principal environmental contact for many rural based developments.
The majority of work undertaken as an irrigation and environmental consultant involves preparation of documents, review of development activity, statutory assessment for predevelopment due diligence reporting, monitoring of developments and preparation of environmental management assessments for statutory approvals through either Development applications to Council, POEO Licensing, Workcover approvals, Contamination clearances, or Water Management Act approvals. All projects undertaken requires hands-on field work for any sampling and site investigations.
Specific expertise has been obtained in both NSW and Qld for soil and groundwater assessment. These assessments have involved preliminary site investigations relating to landuse changes including sampling and interpretation of soil and water analysis.
An extensive knowledge has been gained over the past 10-years in the disciplines of contaminated site assessment including asbestos management in schools, hospitals and other government buildings in addition to asbestos dust monitoring and visual clearance certification. A range of environmental assessment and remediation works have been undertaken for hydrocarbon sites including removal of fuel tanks, site validation and sampling. Site contaminated with OC/OP, arsenic, Dieldrin and lead have been investigated and remediated, including supervision of remediation excavations and reporting of all works.
Throughout the past 26-years, Peter has developed a wide range of projects for corporate, government and private Clients who utilise his wide ranging knowledge of the environment, rural development and project planning.
Peter is at present providing voluntary mentoring of new Environmental Scientists and Engineers through the Environmental Institute of Australia and New Zealand to help young professionals develop their skills.
