Port Hedland AREA PLANNING STUDY Foreword Port Hedland is one of the Pilbara’s most historic and colourful towns. The townsite as we know it was established by European settlers in 1896 as a service centre for the pastoral, goldmining and pearling industries, although the area has been home to Aboriginal people for many thousands of years. In the 1960s Port Hedland experienced a major growth period, as a direct result of the emerging iron ore industry.

  • Groundwater Resource Assessment and Conceptualization in the Pilbara Region, Western Australia
    Earth Systems and Environment https://doi.org/10.1007/s41748-018-0051-0 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Groundwater Resource Assessment and Conceptualization in the Pilbara Region, Western Australia Rodrigo Rojas1 · Philip Commander2 · Don McFarlane3,4 · Riasat Ali5 · Warrick Dawes3 · Olga Barron3 · Geof Hodgson3 · Steve Charles3 Received: 25 January 2018 / Accepted: 8 May 2018 © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The Pilbara region is one of the most important mining hubs in Australia. It is also a region characterised by an extreme climate, featuring environmental assets of national signifcance, and considered a valued land by indigenous people. Given the arid conditions, surface water is scarce, shows large variability, and is an unreliable source of water for drinking and industrial/mining purposes. In such conditions, groundwater has become a strategic resource in the Pilbara region. To date, however, an integrated regional characterization and conceptualization of the occurrence of groundwater resources in this region were missing. This article addresses this gap by integrating disperse knowledge, collating available data on aquifer properties, by reviewing groundwater systems (aquifer types) present in the region and identifying their potential, and propos- ing conceptualizations for the occurrence and functioning of the groundwater systems identifed. Results show that aquifers across the Pilbara Region vary substantially and can be classifed in seven main types: coastal alluvial systems, concealed channel

  • The Importance of Western Australia's Waterways
    The Importance of Western Australia's Waterways There are 208 major waterways in Western Australia with a combined length of more than 25000 km. Forty-eight have been identified as 'wild rivers' due to their near pristine condition. Waterways and their fringing vegetation have important ecological, economic and cultural values. They provide habitat for birds, frogs, reptiles, native fish and macroinvertebrates and form important wildlife corridors between patches of remnant bush. Estuaries, where river and ocean waters mix, connect the land to the sea and have their own unique array of aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna. Waterways, and water, have important spiritual and cultural significance for Aboriginal people. Many waterbodies such as rivers, soaks, springs, rock holes and billabongs have Aboriginal sites associated with them. Waterways became a focal point for explorers and settlers with many of the State’s towns located near them. Waterways supply us with food and drinking water, irrigation for agriculture and water for aquaculture and horticulture. They are valuable assets for tourism and An impacted south-west river section - salinisation and erosion on the upper Frankland River. Photo are prized recreational areas. S. Neville ECOTONES. Many are internationally recognised and protected for their ecological values, such as breeding grounds and migration stopovers for birds. WA has several Ramsar sites including lakes Gore and Warden on the south coast, the Ord River floodplain in the Kimberley and the Peel Harvey Estuarine system, which is the largest Ramsar site in the south west of WA. Some waterways are protected within national parks for their ecosystem values and beauty.

  • Western Australian Naturalist
    THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN NATURALIST Vol. 30 28th February 2017 No. 4 THE DISTRIBUTION, STATUS MOVEMENTS AND DIET OF THE FOREST RED-TAILED BLACK COCKATOO IN THE SOUTH-WEST WITH EMPHASIS ON THE GREATER PERTH REGION, WESTERN AUSTRALIA By R.E. JOHNSTONE 1, T. KIRKBY 2 and K. SARTI 1 1 Department of Terrestrial Zoology, Western Australian Museum, Locked Bag 49, Welshpool DC, Western Australia 6986, Australia 2 20 Buckingham Road, Kelmscott, Western Australia 6111, Australia ABSTRACT The Forest Red-tailed Black Cockatoo (Calyptorhynchus banksii naso) is a large, iconic forest cockatoo endemic to the south-west corner of Western Australia. It is listed as Threatened under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and Vulnerable under the Western Australian Wildlife Conservation Act 1950. It has experienced a severe decline in numbers and range since European colonisation. Over the past 20 years there has been a dynamic change in the foraging ecology of many birds in the northern Darling Range (adjacent to the Perth metropolitan area) driven mainly by their discovery of Cape Lilac as a new food source. Flocks that were once largely sedentary have now developed regular movements onto the Swan Coastal Plain and in some places have established new roost and breeding sites. Furthermore in 2014–2015 there was also a massive flowering and nutting of Marri (the main food throughout its range) in the northern Darling Range and on parts of the Swan Coastal Plain and during late 2015 and throughout 2016 there was a considerable movement of birds from the hills onto the southern Swan Coastal Plain to forage on Marri seed.

  • Parkinsonia Control in the De Grey Catchment
    FACT SHEET No 3: PARKINSONIA CONTROL PARKINSONIA CONTROL IN THE DE GREY CATCHMENT Background: Parkinsonia is a highly invasive spiny shrub or small tree native to central and South America, that ranges from 2 to 8 metres in height, and is capable of forming dense, often impenetrable thorny thickets, particularly on floodplains and water courses. Floating seed pods and seeds are spread along water courses and by flood waters on floodplains. Parkinsonia is a declared pest under the Western Australian Biosecurity and Agricultural Management Act 2007 (BAM Act) and is also considered a weed of national significance (WoNS). The species has potential to impact on cultural, pastoral and ecological values and currently occurs along the De Grey River. Previous efforts to control the weed over the past 30 years have predominantly been through herbicide application which is laborious, expensive, introduces chemicals to the environment and requires multiple treatments. In 2010, surveys identified the De Grey catchment had the most significant Parkinsonia infection in the Pilbara, where there was 30,000 hectares of Parkinsonia infestations along around 200 kilometres of river. De Grey River Main Channel Map of De Grey catchment and De Grey, Oakover and Nullagine river systems. Nullagine River Oakover River June 2017 FACT SHEET No 3: PARKINSONIA CONTROL Control programs: Basal Herbicide Spraying - There have been many grants funded over the years to spray the stems of Parkinsonia plants along the De Grey catchment. A typical annual grant would have been around $80,000 to $120,000 per annum, with a combination of contractors and volunteer pastoral station labour spraying the Parkinsonia.
