FOREWORD MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR The Darwin Harbour Advisory Committee (DHAC) was appointed by the Minister for Lands and Planning, the Honourable Kon Vatskalis in August 2002. The DHAC was charged with the duty of overseeing the development and implementation of the Darwin Harbour Regional Plan of Management. Territorians clearly revere their harbour and want to see it well managed for future generations to enjoy. The Regional Plan of Management provides a framework for managing and enhancing our valuable harbour and catchment into the future. It also provides a basis for achieving an integrated decision making process and planning outcomes consistent with the Marine and Coastal Management Policy and National Strategy for Ecologically Sustainable Development. The Darwin Harbour Advisory Committee’s role is strategic in nature. A range of issues have been identified in the Plan, with actions to address these allocated to relevant agencies, organisations and/or community groups. This Plan of Management will be a ‘living’ document, updated annually to provide us with an adaptive framework for management. The framework is intended to be responsive to changes in technical information, community and stakeholder needs, and to improvement in our understanding of our ecosystems and the way we monitor and report on them. The Plan provides us with an exciting opportunity to participate in the management and protection of our waterways. Releasing this plan will I hope prompt further public comment prior to the plan’s formal endorsement by Government. The Darwin Harbour Advisory Committee acknowledges that active involvement by the community is one of the greatest resources available in managing the region and encourages further public comment on the plan. I trust that the Darwin Harbour Regional Plan of Management will generate a real enthusiasm in Government, industry and community to continue to work cooperatively to implement actions and achieve the vision for Darwin Harbour and its catchment.

The role of the DHAC is strategic in nature, operating collaboratively with Government agencies, stakeholders and the community. The DHAC comprises government and community representatives, who have provided an ongoing conduit for community values and issues to be recognised in the formulation of the Plan. This Regional Plan of Management provides us with a vision for the future and a framework for managing, protecting and enhancing our valuable harbour and catchment. The Plan addresses critical issues for management and builds on the achievements of the past. While the harbour and its catchment encompass a range of distinctive and special environments that require protection, the region is subject to pressures and conflicts of use, which present a major challenge to government, industry and community. There is a strong desire for the harbour and its catchment to remain biologically productive, water quality and habitats to be protected, and recreational opportunities and the region’s tropical character to be maintained. The community also acknowledges that the harbour is a working port, servicing not just Darwin but northern Australia. Striking the balance between the conflicting uses and values, and addressing the complexities of planning in the region, is the central intent of the Plan. The Darwin Harbour Regional Plan of Management offers an adaptive, coordinated and integrated approach to management and planning within the harbour and catchment. The Northern Territory Marine and Coastal Management Policy is currently under review. The policy’s main objective is to enable an integrated approach to the management of the coastal and marine zones in the Northern Territory, based upon the sound principles of ecologically sustainable development. According to the policy, a range of regional plans will be developed, the Darwin Harbour Regional Plan of Management is the first of these. Five goals have been identified within the Darwin Harbour Plan of Management for sound management of the conflicting uses and values of the Darwin Harbour region. For each goal, there is a range of outcomes, which the plan will aim to achieve. Section 3 of the Plan lists strategies and actions to achieve the Plan’s outcomes and overall goals. An introduction to the plan (Section 1) and background information about the region (Section 2) precede Section 3. The five goals of the plan are: GOAL 1. To maintain a healthy environment Maintain and improve water quality and ecological health of the marine, freshwater and terrestrial environments in the region. Improve our understanding of our environment, through research and monitoring, to inform management. GOAL 2. To support recreational use and enjoyment of the environment Manage and enhance the quality of our leisure time, and promote community pride through the maintenance of our scenic values and the region’s unique character. GOAL 3. To encourage ecologically sustainable development Sustain and manage the demands and impacts of tourism, transport, aquaculture, horticulture, urban development and other commercial uses of the harbour and catchment. GOAL 4. To protect cultural values and heritage Maintain and protect cultural uses, and sites of cultural and heritage value. Acknowledge indigenous interests, values and concerns and indigenous people’s innate connection with the Darwin Harbour region. GOAL 5. To foster community ownership and participation in management Engage the community in the development and implementation of the Plan. Inform the public of current management and monitoring actions, issues, and the health of the environment. A range of key strategies and actions has been developed to realise the vision for the harbour and its catchment. These include: Actions to improve our understanding and knowledge of the region’s environment, notably monitoring and research; Protecting and enhancing freshwater, estuarine and marine water quality through a range of management measures; Protecting the health and functioning of ecosystems and conserving biodiversity; Importantly, identifying and managing significant species and ecosystems; Protecting and enhancing recreational amenity and opportunity; Promoting ecologically sustainable harvesting and fishing. Improving our knowledge of recreational and traditional fishing activities and fisheries to ensure sustainability; Protecting the diverse range of aesthetic values of the region; Effectively planning and managing future development, and enhancing public participation in the process; Supporting ecologically sustainable development; Promoting ecologically sustainable use of freshwater in the Darwin Harbour region; Managing sites of cultural, spiritual and heritage significance.

  • 5 Potential Impacts and Mitigation – Water Quality
    5 POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION – WATER QUALITY The approach adopted for this study to evaluate potential water quality impacts associated with the proposed discharge relied on the application and interpretation of calibrated far-field, two-dimensional hydrodynamic (HD) and advection dispersion (AD) modelling tool built using MIKE21. This modelling was supported, guided and informed by a range of data and other relevant information. These data, the work conducted, and key findings are presented below. 5.1 Numerical Modelling Numerical modelling was used to simulate the transport, dilution and dispersion of the proposed discharge at Gunn Point and surrounding waters. The proposed discharge was modelled (see Appendix A) as a conservative tracer. This allows the dilution and dispersion of the effluent to be understood. The numerical modelling, and therefore the modelled tracer concentrations, can be considered conservative for the following reasons: Biological and physical processes such as the deposition of particulate material or the take up of bioavailable nutrients or absorption by sediments and algal mats (microphytobenthos) growing on the sediments of the significant intertidal areas in and around Shoal Bay are not included in the modelling. Three-dimensional turbulent dispersion associated with wave action has not been included in the modelling. Because the model was very computationally demanding, all scenarios were undertaken in 2D. However, during the model calibration and sensitivity testing, 3D simulations were carried out to confirm the mixing processes were resolved appropriately. The strong tidal currents and shallow water mean the site is well mixed, and the 3D modelling did not provide significantly different results. 5.1.1 Simulation Scenarios The model was run for two separate years: June 2005 – May 2006 inclusive May 2016 to April 2016 inclusive Whilst tropical conditions are highly variable, 2005-2006 was considered a ‘typical’ wet season, and 2016- 2017 a season with higher than average rainfall.

  • 8 Oceanic Process and Natural Features
    EAW Expansion Project DEIS 8 8 Oceanic Process and Natural Features This chapter reports on the local physical oceanographic processes (Section 8.1); the potential impacts that the proposed dredging and coastal construction works are expected to impose on the oceanographic processes (Section 8.2); the management of impacts (Section 8.3); and project commitments (Section 8.4). The understanding of the potential impacts is mainly based on interpretation of hydrodynamic and wave model outcomes, as well as on numerical simulations of dredging and spoil disposal activities. 8.1 Existing Environment Darwin Harbour (Figure 8-1) is a large ria system, or drowned river valley, formed by post-glacial marine flooding of a dissected plateau. The Harbour was formed by rising sea levels about 6000 to 8000 years ago. The Harbour has a surface area of about 500 km2. In its southern and south-eastern portions, the harbour has three main components: East, West and Middle Arms, which merge into a single unit, along with the smaller Woods Inlet, before opening into Beagle Gulf to the north. The harbour extends for more than 30 km along this north-north-east – south-south-westerly oriented axis. The Elizabeth River flows into East Arm, while the Darwin and Blackmore rivers flow into Middle Arm. Freshwater inflow into the Harbour occurs from January to April, when estuarine conditions prevail in all areas (Hanley, 1988). The Darwin region is in general characterised by low, flat plateaus with an average elevation of about 15 m AHD, and occasional rises of up to 45 m AHD.

  • Modelling the Tidal and Sediment Dynamics in Darwin Harbour, Northern Territory, Australia
    Modelling the Tidal and Sediment Dynamics in Darwin Harbour, Northern Territory, Australia Li Li School of Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences The University of New South Wales Canberra, ACT, 2600, Australia A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2013 ii ABSTRACT The suspended-sediment dynamics in Darwin Harbour, Northern Territory Australia, were investigated using a combination of field measurements and numerical modelling. After analysing the harbour’s geophysical characteristics from the field data and an extensive literature review, a hydrodynamic model for the harbour was built using the Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM), a model suited to coastal ocean simulation. This model was then coupled in this study to the estuarine suspended- sediment model (ESSed) of Wang (2002) to produce the FVCOM-ESSed model. Both the hydrodynamic and sediment-transport components were calibrated using the field data on sea-surface level, current velocity and suspended-sediment concentration. The sediment-transport model focuses on suspended sediments, with improvements that allow wetting-drying processes, different bathymetry types and a variable thickness of the fine-sediment layer on the harbour bed to be included. The combined hydrodynamic and sediment model provides a reasonable simulation of the tidal and suspended-sediment dynamics in the harbour. Numerical experiments using this model were then designed to determine the effect of the mangrove areas and tidal flats in Darwin Harbour on the tides and tidal asymmetry, and subsequently, on the suspended-sediment dynamics. This study shows that the hydrodynamics of Darwin Harbour are driven mainly by tides, with the effects of wind and rivers small.

This text is taken from the attached supporting information document where additional information relating to the proposed action can be found. Darwin Port Operations Pty Ltd (Darwin Port) operates port facilities within Darwin Harbour, Northern Territory (NT); these include Fort Hill Wharf, East Arm Wharf and the Marine Supply Base (MSB). A brief introduction to these facilities is presented below. Fort Hill Wharf Fort Hill Wharf is Darwin Port’s cruise ship and defence vessel facility. The precinct includes a purpose-built cruise ship terminal which is capable of handling complete passenger changeovers for smaller cruise vessels whilst providing a transit lounge for more infrequent larger international cruise ships. Frequent naval ship visits to Darwin are catered for at the wharf, with secure and efficient port facilities and services provided. Berthage for tugs and pilot boats used within Darwin Harbour is also provided. The wharf was originally constructed in during World War II, though bioerosion by Teredo worms led to the collapse of some two thirds of the structure. It was partially reconstructed with steel pipes and another two wharves (the Navy Boom Wharf and the Navy Repair Wharf) were added in 1941, the latter to facilitate repairs to Navy vessels. Over the years the land abutting the wharf has been used for pre-export stockpiling of iron ore and zinc concentrate and a Navy refuelling facility has also operated across the wharf.
