Delegates will be able to discover ancient wilderness and amazing wildlife; savour superb seafood, fresh local produce and wonderful cool climate wines. Tasmania is the perfect meeting place. It offers some of the finest meeting facilities in one of the world’s most stunning environments, so readily accessible from interstate or overseas. Ground costs for conferencing in Tasmania compare favourably with other Australian cities. Whether you require a city venue for a large convention of 1100 people or a secluded haven in the Tasmanian wilderness for a small incentive group, Tasmania’s convention venues are on par with any in Australia and are operated by professionals experienced in staging prestigious international events. As a delegate experience Tasmania offers a relaxed pace of life that reflects a unique island lifestyle, a genuine warm welcome and an exciting safe environment to explore. After the conference day ends, Tasmania tantalises the visitor with exciting, unique and enjoyable social programs. As a holiday experience many delegates also choose to take advantage of the pre and post conference tours available, and combine their conference with a holiday exploring Tasmania’s natural beauty, heritage, produce and wilderness attractions. Tasmania has some wonderful options for you to consider. In the following pages, you will find suggestions tailored specifically to your event. Given the size of the group – up to 250 people and the requirements for breakout rooms and trade area I am suggesting Launceston and Hobart will be the two destinations you may consider. HOBART Hobart, Tasmania’s capital city is a blend of heritage and lifestyle, spectacular scenery and vibrant culture. Hobart is a cosmopolitan city linked to mountain, river and sea, it is spinnakers on the water and fish punts at the docks, coffee under the sun umbrellas at Salamanca and an occasional frosting of snow on Mount Wellington. Hobart is a contemporary convention city, with all the facilities you would expect from a large city and is the gateway to southern Tasmania. With conference venues to suit all conference sizes and budgets from 10 to 1100 delegates, the city also offers a range of accommodation options from hostel to five-star hotels. Being the least populated capital city has huge advantages for meeting organisers. Ease of access to venue and accommodation facilities without traffic delays, queues and stress is a feature. Hobart offers a wide range of meeting venues and has earned an enviable reputation for staging some of Australia’s

Pap. Proc. R. Soc. Tasm. 0 115, 5-18 (with two figs.). ISSN 0080-4703. Kingston Beach, Tasmania, Australia. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.115.5 During his visit to Hobart Town in 1811, Governor Macquarie instructed Ac ting Surveyor James Meehan to make a design for the layout of this small but growing settle­ ment on the shores of the Derwent River. The field notes of Meehan's survey work executed as a result of these instructions were recently rediscovered and were analysed and plotted by the author, enabling him to show in map form his interpretation of these survey notes. The resulting map portrays an interesting picture of Hobart Town during the Collins period which is not complete. This interpretation of Meehan's survey notes may encourage further studies. JAMES MEEHAN' S SURVEY OF HOBART TOWN After taking office in 1810 Governor Macquarie decided to make a personal inspection of Van Dieman' s Land in general, and of Hobart Town in particular. !le found on his arrival in Hobart (November 23rd, 1811) a collection of miserable huts interspersed with some structures built of brick, public buildings of an unsatisfactory quality, and a few muddy tracks and laneways, wandering at random across the hilly slopes, along several rivulets and the shores of Sullivans Cove.

  • Natural Resource Management 26 Natural Resource Management
    25 NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 26 NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT Background The Draft Huon Valley Natural Resource Management Strategy provides the source of most of the relatively brief descriptions contained within this section. The issues identifi ed here generally correlate with those identifi ed within the Draft NRM Strategy. The Draft NRM strategy addresses the broad range of natural resources and their management needs. The aim of the document is to “provide a comprehensive and action-oriented framework for sustainably managing, protecting and conserving the natural resources of the Huon Valley”. Like the regional NRM process, it does not regulate or control natural resource use in itself, but seeks to provide for or promote more coordinated and informed processes in order to achieve enhanced NRM outcomes. It frequently identifi es that the planning scheme is a critical factor in effectively managing and protecting natural resources. These natural resources are not only very important community assets but have an inherent value that warrants protection when considering prospective development proposals. Maintaining the quality of the municipal area’s natural resources is an essential requirement if the social, cultural and economic welfare of the area’s population is to be maintained over the longer term. Covering a total area of about 5,200 square kilometres, the municipal area is a region of immense cultural and natural diversity. This diverse landscape is characterised by settlements nestled among the partially cleared rolling hills of the eastern valleys and along the spectacular coastline and waterways of the Huon Estuary and the D’Entrecasteaux Channel. These are in turn set against the backdrop of extensive areas of native forest, striking mountain ranges and the South West Wilderness Area.

  • Overview of Tasmania's Offshore Islands and Their Role in Nature
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 154, 2020 83 OVERVIEW OF TASMANIA’S OFFSHORE ISLANDS AND THEIR ROLE IN NATURE CONSERVATION by Sally L. Bryant and Stephen Harris (with one text-figure, two tables, eight plates and two appendices) Bryant, S.L. & Harris, S. 2020 (9:xii): Overview of Tasmania’s offshore islands and their role in nature conservation.Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 154: 83–106. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.154.83 ISSN: 0080–4703. Tasmanian Land Conservancy, PO Box 2112, Lower Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7005, Australia (SLB*); Department of Archaeology and Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601 (SH). *Author for correspondence: Email: [email protected] Since the 1970s, knowledge of Tasmania’s offshore islands has expanded greatly due to an increase in systematic and regional surveys, the continuation of several long-term monitoring programs and the improved delivery of pest management and translocation programs. However, many islands remain data-poor especially for invertebrate fauna, and non-vascular flora, and information sources are dispersed across numerous platforms. While more than 90% of Tasmania’s offshore islands are statutory reserves, many are impacted by a range of disturbances, particularly invasive species with no decision-making framework in place to prioritise their management. This paper synthesises the significant contribution offshore islands make to Tasmania’s land-based natural assets and identifies gaps and deficiencies hampering their protection. A continuing focus on detailed gap-filling surveys aided by partnership restoration programs and collaborative national forums must be strengthened if we are to capitalise on the conservation benefits islands provide in the face of rapidly changing environmental conditions and pressure for future use.

QUADRANGULOSA (MYRTACEAE), A NEW TAXON OF RESTRICTED DISTRIBUTION FROM SOUTHERN TASMANIA by Dean Nicolle, Brad M. Potts and Gay E.

School of Plant Science and Cooperative Research Centre for Forestry, University of Tasmania, Private Bag 55, Hobart, Tasmania 7001, Australia (BMP, GEMcK). *Author for correspondence. Email: [email protected] Eucalyptus cordata subsp. quadrangulosa is described to accommodate western populations of the species, and differs from the typical subspecies most conspicuously in the quadrangular branchlets, and also in the larger and more pointed juvenile leaves, the more flattened peduncles, the larger bi-ribbed flower buds, and the larger fruits. The quadrangular branchlets of the new subspecies are unique in E. ser. Orbiculares. The new subspecies occurs to the west of, and largely disjunct from, eastern E. cordata, and tends to occupy cooler and wet- ter sites. Some morphologically and geographically intermediate populations are known. Both subspecies of E. cordata are of restricted distribution and are known from relatively few, disjunct and generally numerically small populations, and as such are under threat from various natural and human-induced influences.
