Exhilarating adventures Welcome to Energise on a tropical adventure—rafting whitewater rapids, trekking rugged landscapes, mountain biking historic trails or ocean kayaking from one perfect beach to the next! Tropical Coast parks Welcome to our national parks—part of which is my country. Warrgamay land is of great significance to me and my peoples. The connection I feel to country can’t be any stronger and I have strong pride and passion to be a caretaker and role model for the Indigenous and the non-Indigenous community. The land is the mother and we are of the land; we do not own the land rather the land owns us. The land is our food, our culture, our spirit and our identity. So when myself and my people of Warrgamay talk about country it is spoken of like a person: we speak to country, we sing to country, we worry about country and we long for country. This job as a caretaker makes me proud of who I am, and am privileged to work and to care for country.

CD-ROM of this document plus images obtained to date - 1 - - 2 - 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Fish River Water Supply Scheme [FRWS] is a medium size but important water supply with the headwaters in the Central Highlands of NSW, west of the Great Dividing Range and to the south of Oberon. It supplies water in an area from Oberon, north to Portland, Mount Piper Power Station and beyond, and east, across the Great Dividing Range, to Wallerawang town, Wallerawang Power Station, Lithgow and the Upper Blue Mountains. It is the source of water for many small to medium communities, including Rydal, Lidsdale, Cullen Bullen, Glen Davis and Marrangaroo, as well as many rural properties through which its pipelines pass. It was established by Act of Parliament in 1945 as a Trading Undertaking of the NSW State Government. The FRWS had its origins as a result of the chronic water supply problems of the towns of Lithgow, Wallerawang, Portland and Oberon from as early as 1937, which were exacerbated by the 1940-43 drought.

    Townsville Metro: Unlocking Urban Potential Through Improving a Key Transit Corridor

    TOWNSVILLE METRO: UNLOCKING URBAN POTENTIAL THROUGH IMPROVING A KEY TRANSIT CORRIDOR Citation: Caldera, S., Desha, C., Reid, S., Yen, B., Shearer, H., Newman, P. and Mouritz, M. (2020) Townsville metro: unlocking potential through improving Townsville’s transit corridor, Report for Project 1.62 Sustainable Centres of Tomorrow: People and Place, Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre, Australia. Townsville Metro: Unlocking Potential through improving Townsville’s Transit Corridor Executive Summary Urban centres around the world are grappling with how to adapt and respond to the interconnected challenges of climate change, economic development and social inclusion. Fundamental to the solution is the ability of citizens to move around cities to access places of employment, education, healthcare and recreation. Design responses for new centres and urban renewal projects require collaboration and co- creation across governance levels and involving partnerships across multiple parties spanning designers and developers through to end-users. In 2016, the federal government launched City Deals as a new partnership mechanism to create productive and liveable cities, with Townsville being the first 15-year commitment involving planning, reform and investment for the city. The Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre (SBEnrc) is working with government and industry partners to enquire into procurement strategies and technologies that enable urban renewal in Australian cities. Through Project 1.62 – Sustainable Centres of Tomorrow, a place-making evaluation framework has been developed to inform project-specific business cases as they may arise through a City Deal or other ventures. Using the framework, trackless tram technology is being evaluated in several case study sites around Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Perth), as an emergent transport catalyst to ‘unlock the urban potential’ between and around urban ‘nodes’ (i.e.
