  • Coffs Harbour Sediment Modelling and Investigation
    COFFS HARBOUR SEDIMENT MODELLING AND INVESTIGATION Luke McAvoy Undergraduate Engineer (Civil) Griffith School of Engineering, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia Daniel Rodger Senior Engineer Water Technology Pty Ltd, Brisbane, Australia ________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Water Technology has teamed with Griffith University as a part of the Industrial Affiliates Program to complete a Sediment Modelling Investigation for Coffs Harbour. The harbour at Coffs Harbour has been infilling with sediment since breakwall construction and reclamation linked two nearshore islands with the mainland in the 1920s, interrupting the Longshore Sediment Transport (LST) pathway. The harbour has become a sand sink; sand is entering the harbour and then cannot be removed by natural processes. Following on from previous reports from Carley (2005) and Lord (1984), the investigation has used the latest numerical modelling software, volumetric analysis programs and analytical methods for LST estimation to investigate the effects of the harbour on sediment transport. The effect of the breakwall orientation on wave height and particle velocity for different incident wave directions was investigated using a MIKE 21 Flexible-Mesh Spectral Wave model. The model predicted bottom water particle velocities throughout the harbour and mapped potential accumulation hotspots and sediment pathways. Bathymetric surveys spreading 118 years were analysed with the volumetric analysis program 12D Model. The results showed sand accumulating within the harbour in the lee of the eastern breakwall after its construction, as predicted in the MIKE model. This shoal built up to a uniform level before extending across the entire width of the harbour. Each periodic bathymetric comparison showed the sediment extending further within the harbour as a „wave‟.

  • Approved Conservation Advice for Rutidosis Heterogama (Heath Wrinklewren)
    This Conservation Advice was approved by the Minister/Delegate of the Minister on: 3/07/2008. Approved Conservation Advice (s266B of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999). Approved Conservation Advice for Rutidosis heterogama (Heath Wrinklewren) This Conservation Advice has been developed based on the best available information at the time this conservation advice was approved. Description Rutidosis heterogama, Family Asteraceae, also known as the Heath Wrinklewren or Heath Wrinklewort, is a perennial herb with decumbent (reclining to lying down) to erect stems, growing to 30 cm high (Harden, 1992; DECC, 2005a). The tiny yellow flowerheads are probably borne March to April (Leigh et al., 1984), chiefly in Autumn (Harden, 1992) or November to January. Seeds are dispersed by wind (Clarke et al., 1998) and the species appears to require soil disturbance for successful recruitment (Clarke et al., 1998). Conservation Status Heath Wrinklewren is listed as vulnerable. This species is eligible for listing as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (EPBC Act) as, prior to the commencement of the EPBC Act, it was listed as vulnerable under Schedule 1 of the Endangered Species Protection Act 1992 (Cwlth). The species is also listed as vulnerable on the Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 (NSW). Distribution and Habitat Heath Wrinklewren is confined to the North Coast and Northern Tablelands regions of NSW. It is known from the Hunter Valley to Maclean, Wooli to Evans Head, and Torrington (Harden, 1992). It occurs within the Border Rivers–Gwydir, Hunter–Central Rivers and Northern Rivers (NSW) Natural Resource Management Regions.
