Work underway on major intersection upgrade on Westbury Road Work has commenced on the construction of a new roundabout at the intersection of Meander Valley Road and Westbury Road in Prospect Vale. This priority project is being undertaken at a cost of $1.6m, with funding from the Federal Liberal Government’s election commitment, the Commonwealth Government’s Infrastructure Investment Grant Programme and Meander Valley Council. Mayor Wayne Johnston said, “The new roundabout will improve traffic flow and provide better access to a number of facilities, including the Prospect Vale Park sports complex. The improvements include re- alignment of the road and will facilitate the safe movement of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles in addition to promoting further residential, retail and commercial development in the area, Cemetery centrepiece takes shape Work is underway at the Deloraine Lawn Cemetery with a new, naturally inspired shelter structure being constructed to provide visitors with a place to pause, gather and reflect. “The structure is sympathetic to its surrounds and features heat curved timber arches and natural stonework,” Mayor Wayne Johnston said.

  • Description Distribution and Habitat Mole Creek Cave Beetle
    THREATENED SPECIES LISTING STATEMENT Mole Creek Cave Beetle, Tasmanotrechus cockerilli Moore 1972 Status Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.............................…...........…………………………………....Not listed Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995…………………....Rare Description The Mole Creek cave beetle is found only in caves; Tasmanotrechus cockerilli such species are referred to as ‘troglobites’. Troglobitic beetles show varying degrees of adaptation to a cave existence, including loss of body colouring, a reduction or complete loss of eyes, and a lengthening of legs and other appendages. The Mole Creek cave beetle is small (body length approximately 6 mm), with an elongated head and vestigial eyes. For a full description refer to Moore (1972). Distribution and Habitat Tasmanotrechus cockerilli is known only from the 5mm Mole Creek karst system in central north Tasmania. Within this cave system it is fairly widely distributed, Illustration: Karen Richards having so far been located in nine caves, however, the species is extremely rare in the caves where it has been found (Eberhard et al. 1991). A number of specimens of a beetle very similar to the Mole Creek cave beetle were also collected by Eberhard (2000) from six new cave sites within the Mole Creek karst system. These have been tentatively assigned to the same species. However, the specimens have yet to be formally identified as belonging to the species T. cockerilli. The species is confined mostly to the deep cave zone, where it is found under stones, in or near flood litter, and on moist surfaces near water. Occasionally the species has also been found some distance from permanent water.

In making this submission, we express the greatest respect for all personnel involved in the dangerous and protracted effort to control and contain the fires. We make this submission in the spirit of helping to understand, address and prevent such devastation in the future. The first Tasmanians are respectfully acknowledged as traditional owners of this land, as is the name kooparoona niara. 2 Summary It is submitted that • Research on climate change and fire response must be restored and increased including CSIRO.

  • Why Tasmania Needs the Meander Dam
    Why Tasmania Needs the Meander Dam Meander Dam Report 2003 Acknowledgement This document has been produced and published by the Water Resources Division of the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment. Special acknowledgement must go to the people of the Meander Valley who agreed to be interviewed and photographed for this report. As well as pointing out the social, economic and environmental benefi ts of the Meander Dam proposal, the publishers trust this report accurately portrays the community’s aspirations for a vibrant and sustainable future. Why Tasmania Needs the Meander Dam Construction of the Meander Dam will provide jobs, raise economic prospects and narrow the social divide by giving young people a reason to remain part of the Meander Valley community. If it is built, the Meander Dam will provide: P More jobs for Tasmania’s young people P Increased agricultural output and exports P A more viable and profitable farming sector P An improved standard of living for a vulnerable rural and regional community P A healthy river environment P Water-based recreational and tourism opportunities The Meander Dam is supported by a diverse range of stakeholders, including the Government of Tasmania, the Parliamentary Liberal Party, the State’s Labor and Liberal Federal Parliamentarians, Local Government representatives and the State’s peak farming and agricultural bodies. The Meander Dam is an essential infrastructure project that will lead to a more vibrant, prosperous and environmentally sustainable Tasmania. It has the potential to make the Meander Valley community strong, proud and confident. 3 A Community at a Critical Point “The rural sections of the Meander Valley community stand at a critical point where solutions must be sought urgently to protect their economic and social future.
