  • 3. Study Area Characteristics
    Pacific Highway Upgrade – Oxley Highway to Kempsey Preferred Route Report 3. Study Area Characteristics 3.1 Local Community 3.1.1 Overview The study area is located within the Port Macquarie – Hastings and Kempsey Local Government Areas (LGAs). The boundary between the two LGAs is located south of Kundabung, in the north of the study area. The Port Macquarie – Hastings LGA covers an area of 3,693 square kilometres and is located approximately 420 km north of Sydney and 510 km south of Brisbane. The topography of the LGA is very diverse, with features including coastal plains and wetlands, flood plains, river systems and mountain ranges, national parks and state forests. The Port Macquarie – Hastings LGA has an overall population of 64,485 (2001 Census). The main towns in the LGA are Port Macquarie and Wauchope. Port Macquarie, located on the coast approximately 10 km to the east of the southern boundary of the study area, is the largest town with a population of 38,289 people (2001 Census). It serves as a major tourist destination and regional centre for the area. Wauchope, located approximately seven kilometres to the west of the southern boundary of the study area, serves as the regional centre for the inland area, particularly for the rural communities along the Oxley Highway and the associated agricultural industries. The LGA has many small localities and villages in addition to the main towns. Of these, the village of Telegraph Point is located in the study area, on the Wilson River. Kempsey LGA covers an area of 3,377 square kilometres.

  • Acid Sulfate Soil Induced Acidification of Estuarine Areas Used for the Production of Sydney Rock Oysters, Saccostrea Glomerata

Dove1*, Jesmond Sammut2 1Port Stephens Fisheries Centre, NSW Department of Primary Industries, Taylors Beach, Australia 2Australian Wetlands and Rivers Centre, School of Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, The University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia Email: *[email protected] Received December 10, 2012; revised January 10, 2013; accepted January 18, 2013 ABSTRACT This study investigated estuarine acidification, associated with drainage and excavation of acid sulfate soils, in areas used for commercial cultivation of Sydney rock oysters (Saccostrea glomerata). Regular measurements of pH and elec- trical conductivity were collected in oyster cultivation areas and acidified reaches of the Hastings River estuary and Port Stephens estuary located on the mid north coast of New South Wales, Australia. Water quality information from acidi- fied floodplain drains was also collected in the Hastings River following heavy rainfall. Both estuaries experienced acidification of tributaries following periods of heavy rainfall. Drain outflow waters were acidic (pH < 3.5); contained elevated concentrations of iron, aluminium, manganese and zinc; and polluted areas used for oyster production. The extent and duration of estuarine acidification events was capable of causing a variety of short- and long-term impacts to oysters as well as other aquatic organisms in affected areas. Keywords: Estuarine Acidification; Acid Sulfate Soil; Sydney Rock Oyster; Saccostrea glomerata; New South Wales 1.
