  • Cooma Monaro Final Report 2015
    Cooma-Monaro Shire Final Report 2015 Date: 22 October 2015 Cooma-Monaro LGA Final Report 2015 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY LGA OVERVIEW Cooma-Monaro Local Government Area The Cooma-Monaro Shire Council area is located in the south east region of NSW. The Shire comprises a land area of approximately 5229 square kilometres comprising undulating to hilly rural grazing land, timbered lifestyle areas and retreat bushland. The Local Government Area (LGA) is adjoined by four other LGAs – Palerang to the north, Tumut and Snowy River to the west, Bombala to the south and Bega Valley to the east. The main economic activities in the Shire include sheep and cattle grazing plus the “provision” of hobby farms / rural home sites in the Cooma area for the Cooma market, in the Michelago area (ie the northern part of the Shire) for the Canberra market and at various other locations including along the Murrumbidgee River and at the southeast periphery near Nimmitabel. These rural/ residential blocks and bush retreats cater for a number of sub markets and demand tends to ebb and flow. Number of properties valued this year and the total land value in dollars The Cooma-Monaro LGA comprises Residential, Rural, Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure/Special Purposes, Environmental and Public Recreation zones. 5,388 properties were valued at the Base Date of 1 July 2015, and valuations are reflective of the property market at that time. Previous Notices of Valuation issued to owners for the Base Date of 1 July 2014. The Snowy River LGA property market generally has remained static across all sectors with various minor fluctuations.

    ‘Geo-Log’ 2012 Journal of the Amateur Geological Society of the Hunter Valley ‘Geo-Log’ 2012 Journal of the Amateur Geological Society of the Hunter Valley Inc. Contents: President’s Introduction 2 Australian Alps Safari 3 New Hartley Excursion 20 Redhead Bluff: Stratigraphy and Paleoenvironment 29 Varved Shale in the Seaham and Raymond Terrace Area 33 Coolah Tops NP Weekend 37 Some Regional Geology of the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia: Geological Safari 2012 43 Geo-Log 2012 - Page 1 President’s Introduction. Hello members and friends, Yet again we have enjoyed a very successful year. Although the Society has been running for over 30 years, our membership has remained stable and has even increased slightly in recent years, reflecting a continuing enthusiasm for and appreciation of the earth sciences and related activities. A background in geology is not a prerequisite to membership and every member is strongly encouraged to take part regardless of their level of knowledge. Although the initial aim of the Society was the exploration and understanding of Hunter Valley geolo- gy, for several years now we have continued to widen our coverage well beyond the confines of the Valley. Even so, while the organizing committee tries to include new activities into the program each year, this is becoming more difficult. But new members bring new ideas and new experiences which everyone can benefit from. Occasionally old sites are revisited, either for the benefit of new members or where the availability of new information has allowed a greater understanding of earth history. Our first extended excursion was organized (with some trepidation) into the Flinders Ranges in 1995, but this was so successful that similar trips have since taken place annually.
