  • Nagambie Goldfield

    Nagambie Goldfield

    NAGAMBIE GOLDFIELD Regional Geological Setting The Nagambie Project is located within the Melbourne Structural Zone of Victoria. The lithologies range in age from the Upper Silurian Broadford Formation to the Middle Devonian Waranga and Monty’s Hut Formations, consisting mostly of interbedded turbidite sediments. Quaternary clays alluvial sands of the Shepparton Formation overlie the basement rocks. The region has been folded around ENE to east-west trending axial planes in open folds with which gold mineralisation at Rushworth, Whroo and Nagambie is associated. At Whroo, gold mineralisation is in the footwall of the Balaclava Fault - a north dipping reverse fault, where disseminated gold in silicified sandstone exists with quartz mineralised veins in associated dilational structures. Mineralised laminated quartz veins also occur in NW striking parallel shear zones. At Rushworth, gold mineralisation occurs in east-west striking folds in the footwalls to a series of north dipping reverse faults. At Nagambie, gold is confined to a brecciated anticlinal structure bounded by a set of north-dipping reverse faults. Gold is associated with stibnite and arsenopyrite in silicified sandstone & mudstone - the silicification is probably an early event associated with filling of fractures with quartz veins. The GSV seismic Line V4 located some 35-40 km to the north-east, shows a package of south verging reverse or thrust faults, interpreted to be Mid- to Late-Devonian in age, and developed as part of the Governor Fault suture between the Melbourne Zone and Tabberabberan Zone. The reverse fault at the Nagambie Mine, and some regional east-west to north-west striking fold axes are the products of this north-south regional compression event.

  • 2015 State Budget Report Foreword

    2015 State Budget Report Foreword

    euroa 2015 State Budget Report Foreword Over the past month I have actively sought feedback from residents across the Euroa electorate on what they would like to see prioritised in the 2015 State Budget. This report summarises the information I have received through both formal and informal channels. This has included listening posts in various towns throughout the Euroa electorate including Benalla, Euroa, Heathcote, Kilmore, Murchison, Nagambie and Seymour. Residents were also invited to provide feedback in writing via mail or by email, as well as through my website, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. In addition, National Party members from the Euroa electorate met for a roundtable discussion to provide their input. I spoke to an estimated 150 individuals formally throughout these consultations and many more on my day-to-day travels around the electorate. This report is not exhaustive, but it is designed to provide Premier Daniel Andrews and the new Labor Government with an understanding of the main issues affecting the Euroa elecorate. There is a deep level of concern among people throughout Euroa about the state of country roads. This has been exacerbated by the government’s decision to axe the Country Roads and Bridges Program, put in place by the former Coalition Government. The program provided small rural councils including Mitch- ell, Strathbogie and Benalla, with $1 million each year to help maintain their vast networks of roads and bridges. Many residents questioned the government’s decision to pay $640 million to not build East West Link and listed local projects for which that money could have been used.

Purpose 1.1 For Council to consider and endorse the attached submission (Attachment 1) to Planning Scheme Amendment GC157 which implements the Specific Controls Overlay to facilitate construction of the Federal Government’s Inland Rail project. 2. Background 2.1 The Incorporated Document will be incorporated into the Whittlesea, Mitchell, Strathbogie, Benalla, Wangaratta and Wodonga Planning Schemes (the Planning Schemes) and is made pursuant to section 6(2)(j) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987. 2.2 The Project will utilise the existing corridor and modify or replace existing infrastructure at a number of locations where there is not adequate clearance for double-stacked freight trains. The main components of the Project include 12 discrete project areas (also referred to as ‘enhancement sites’) from Beveridge to Albury where road and rail interfaces do not provide the required horizontal and vertical clearance for double-stacked freight trains. 2.3 The proposed amendment seeks to introduce an Incorporated Document (with conditions) for a Specific Controls Overlay (SCO) which will avoid the need for future planning permits for works associated with the Inland Rail Project. The scope of the project itself is generally limited to the following seven sites within the shire: Broadford-Wandong Road bridge, Wandong Hamilton Street bridge, Broadford Short Street bridge, Broadford Marchbanks Road bridge, Broadford Hume Highway bridge, Tallarook Seymour-Avenel Road bridge, Seymour Hume Highway bridge, Seymour MITCHELL SHIRE COUNCIL Page 436 ORDINARY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA 28 JUNE 2021 ARTC - SPECIFIC CONTROLS OVERLAY RESPONSE TO PROPOSED INCORPORATED DOCUMENT (CONT.) 3.

  • 1 Submission to the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade

    1 Submission to the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade

    Submission to the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee into the impact of Defence training activities and facilities on rural and regional communities by John Cox Summary Increased security at Defence bases is negatively impacting the relationship between local communities and Defence organisations. The reduced access to bases has economic and social impacts for both the community and Defence. A solution is to locate select facilities that require lesser levels of security outside the high security perimeters of bases. Examples are Navy, Army and Airforce Museums. While the museums are used principally in the training of ADF members, museums also serve a valuable purpose in linking communities to the Defence Force. Regional military units need strong links with regional communities; they are neighbours and cooperative arrangements help both parties. It is common for members of local communities to become volunteers as guides and researchers at Defence museums. Social and economic bonds are strengthened through museums attracting visitors from distances away from a rural and regional community. Increased visitation helps local economies. And it helps Defence in connecting to Australians, particularly in support of recruitment. The proposed Armour and Artillery Museum at Puckapunyal/Seymour in Victoria is only one and a half hours drive from Melbourne’s northern and inner suburbs. A day trip from a major population centre is highly marketable and increases visits. The museum project is worth over $20 million. Such investment should be shared with the broader community where possible. Social bonds extend to training at Defence museum facilities for school and tertiary students undertaking related studies.
