A bioregional assessment is a scientific analysis of the ecology, hydrology, geology and hydrogeology of a bioregion with explicit assessment of the potential direct, indirect and cumulative impacts of coal seam gas and large coal mining development on water resources. This Programme draws on the best available scientific information and knowledge from many sources, including government, industry and regional communities, to produce bioregional assessments that are independent, scientifically robust, and relevant and meaningful at a regional scale. The Programme is funded by the Australian Government Department of the Environment. The Department of the Environment, Bureau of Meteorology, CSIRO and Geoscience Australia are collaborating to undertake bioregional assessments. For more information, visit <http://www.bioregionalassessments.gov.au>. Department of the Environment The Office of Water Science, within the Australian Government Department of the Environment, is strengthening the regulation of coal seam gas and large coal mining development by ensuring that future decisions are informed by substantially improved science and independent expert advice about the potential water related impacts of those developments.

  • The Macquarie Marshes: an Ecological History
    The Macquarie Marshes: An Ecological History Table of contents 3 From the Executive Director 3 About the author 4 Foreword 5 Executive summary 6 Introduction 11 The first century of European settlement 13 Life in the Marshes— The Dry Phase 1895–1946 17 Life in the Marshes—The Wet Phase 1947-1978 20 The Macquaries Marshes, 1979 onwards—A Second Dry Phase 20 River Regulation and the Macquarie Marshes 25 Local Water Manipulation and Grazing Impacts 36 Conclusion—Towards a solution for the Macquarie Marshes 37 References A note on sources Gillian Hogendyk has accessed publicly available information, interviewed long term local residents of the Macquarie Valley with historical knowledge of the Marsh area, and held discussions with relevant public servants. The author has taken all photographs unless otherwise acknowledged. Institute of Public Affairs From the Executive Director It is essential that solutions to environmental problems are based on evidence. The Macquarie Marshes are a case in point. In 2007 environmental issues do not lack for public attention, but too often these important issues are filtered through a narrow ideological lens. The Institute of Public Affairs has long advocated for and supported science firmly based on the evidence. The IPA does not necessarily endorse the policies advocated in this occasional pa- per, but we welcome this valuable contribution by Gill Hogendyk to a better public understanding of the history and ecology of the Macquarie Marshes. John Roskam Executive Director Institute of Public Affairs About the author Gillian Hogendyk lives on a property near Warren in the Macquarie Valley. She is a co-owner of ‘Burrima’, a property within the Macquarie Marshes bordered on three sides by the North Marsh Nature Reserve.

  • Macquarie Community Profile: Irrigation Region
    Macquarie community profile Irrigation region Key issues for the region 1. Region’s population: The Macquarie irrigation region comprises an area of some 13,000km2 in central west New South Wales covering three council areas,- Dubbo City and the shires of Narromine and Warren. The area has a total population of 47,000 people, of whom 37,000 live in the City of Dubbo. Outside Dubbo, the region is highly reliant on agriculture for employment and wealth creation, with most employment in the irrigation districts especially in cotton. The region is also a centre for cereal cropping and is famous for its Merino studs. Agriculture supports a wide range of services in the public and private sectors. 2. Water entitlements • Surface Water Long-term Cap — The Water Sharing Plan for the Macquarie and Cudgegong Regulated Rivers Water Source took effect on 1 July 2004. This limits average annual extractions to 391,900 ML. • Water entitlements for the Macquarie region are as follows: High Security (15,038 ML); General Security (611,271 ML); Environmental Water Allowance (160,000 ML); Supplementary Water (48,505 ML); Domestic and Stock water (4,826 ML); Local Water Utility (16,205 ML); Groundwater entitlements (65,524 ML). These figures refer solely to the entitlements available from the Macquarie River serviced out of Burrendong Dam. They ignore entitlements available from the Cudgegong supplied out of Lake Windamere. 3. Major enterprises — Cotton has been a major employer across the region since the 1980s, both in primary production and in processing, with five gins located at strategic points across the region.

  • Christopher W Priestley & Claire M B Priestley "Salt Glen"
    Christopher W Priestley & Claire M B Priestley "Salt Glen" 6 March 2017 RE: SUBMISSION - Senate Inquiry into regulatory framework for the protection of consumers. including small businesses, in the banking, insurance and financial services sector · Introduction We thank the Senate for initiating an inquiry with very relevant terms of reference that reflect the current crisis decent Australians are facing due to a lending culture embedded with deceit and complete lack of connection to human life. We hope this inquiry is not just another banking inquiry that shows how banks destroy people financially and emotionally and victims still find there is no justice and no financial compensation. Often these inquiries leave the victims more traumatized because they have exposed their story triggering horrific memories with no positive outcome. Banks and any bank employees that have committed illegal activity need to be exposed and charged and compensation must be enforced. Whistleblowers need to be protected so that any collusions between banks and prospective buyers prepared to participate in unethical sales for financial advantage is exposed. We are siblings that grew up on our family owned land that ran a cattle, cotton and wheat enterprise at Carinda on the Macquarie River near the junction of the Castlerea h and Barwon rivers in between Brewon Station and Mirawlyn Cotton - The National Australia Bank chose to destroy our viable farming business and knowingly used our creditors to the banks benefit. This submission is also done for the intention of seeing our creditors gain justice for the financial stress the NAB put them in, our creditors also became victims of the actions NAB chose to take to ensure our farm stopped functioning and suffered irrepairable financial stress.

ISBN 0 7347 51974 FOREWORD The semi-arid zone of New South Wales is a large area, where changes in vegetation and fauna communities can be gradual compared to the forested slopes and coast, which receive high rainfall. The semi-arid zone is being impacted on by continuing expansion of agricultural development but there is a recognised lack of even basic information with regards to existing biodiversity that would allow for planned development with minimal environmental impact. It is only recently that semi-arid NSW is getting the recognition it deserves via funding for environmental inventories. Throughout the state there is a general recognition that the maintenance of biodiversity must not rely on the conservation reserve system alone but needs to incorporate areas outside nature reserves (Hale and Lamb 1997).
