The upgrade is a vital piece of enabling infrastructure for the $1.5 billion Project Sea Dragon. Project Sea Dragon is planned to be Australia’s largest aquaculture project, potentially producing over 100 000 tonnes of Black Tiger Prawns per year and creating 1 500 jobs in north Australia. The Keep River Road is a key link in the transport logistics for the project, which is located on Legune Station near the Northern Territory’s border with Western Australia, about 110 kilometres from Kununurra. Project Sea Dragon will include production ponds at Legune Station, breeding facilities in Darwin and a processing plant near Kununurra. Stage 1 of the project includes 1 080 hectares of production ponds, increasing to about 2 100 hectares in Stage 2. Seafarms Group Limited Executive Director Dr Chris Mitchell welcomed the funding commitment to upgrade the Keep River Road after it was recognised as a priority in the Northern Australia White Paper. Dr Mitchell said “This commitment by the government is an important key step in the realization of the Project.

On this long isolated continent, the naming of several monotypic genera and a plethora of species have clouded both the phylogenetical and biogeographical relation- ships with other thiarids, in particular in Southeast Asia, thus hampering insight into the evolution of Australian taxa and their natural history. Based on own collections during five expeditions to various regions in Australia between 2002 and 2007, the study of rele- vant type material and the comparison with (mostly shell) material from major Australian museum collections, we describe and document here the morphology (of adults and juve- niles) and radulae of all relevant thiarid taxa, discussing the taxonomical implications and nomenclatural consequences. Presenting comprehensive compilations of the occurrences for all Australian thiarid species, we document their geographical distribution (based on over 900 records) with references ranging from continent-wide to drainage-based pat- terns. We morphologically identify a total of eleven distinct species (also corroborated as distinct clades by molecular genetic data, to be reported elsewhere), of which six species are endemic to Australia, viz.

    TIGER BRENNAN DRIVE TRAFFIC CHANGE The duplication of Tiger Brennan Drive jointly funded by the Australian and Northern Territory governments is nearing completion. This weekend, all motorists travelling along Tiger Brennan Drive between Berrimah Road and Woolner Road will be moved over to the newly constructed section of road. This traffic change will start to take effect early Saturday morning. It will be in place until project completion. Traffic diversion points will be in place near the Woolner Road intersection and the Berrimah Road intersection. Single lane traffic will flow in each direction and reduced speed limits will be in place. Winnellie changes Access into and out of Winnellie from Tiger Brennan Drive will be via Woolner Road and Bowen Street only. Benison Road will be closed to traffic from Tiger Brennan Drive to Bishop Street. There will be no access to Hook Road from Tiger Brennan Drive. You will still be able to access Amy Johnson Avenue and Hidden Valley Road from new road way. Allow extra time Road users are asked to allow for extra time when using Tiger Brennan Drive as delays are likely. Consider an alternative route where possible, such as the Stuart Highway if travelling from the Northern Suburbs of Palmerston or the rural area.
