Australian Governments adopted the principle of ESD as a national strategy. At its 1992 meeting, the 5.2.2 National Greenhouse Response Strategy Council of Australian Governments (COAG) endorsed the ESD Strategy. Australia ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in December 1992. The core objectives of the strategy are: The Convention entered into force in March 1994 and more than 150 countries are now signatories to it. The q To enhance individual and community well-being ultimate objective of the Convention is to achieve and welfare by following a path of economic stabilisation of greenhouse gas concentrations in the development that safeguards the welfare of future atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous generations; anthropogenic interference with the climate system. q To provide for equity within and between generations; and In 1992, Australian Governments also agreed to q To protect biological diversity and maintain National Greenhouse Response Strategy (NGRS) as a essential ecological processes and life-support basis of working together on greenhouse issues and, systems. in particular, to meet Australia’s international obligations under FCCC.

  • 6. Terrestrial Fauna
    Moura Link - Aldoga Rail Project Queensland Rail Environmental Impact Statement Terrestrial fauna 6. Terrestrial fauna This section describes the existing environment, potential impacts and mitigation measures for the Project in terms of the terrestrial fauna values. The assessment has been based on a review of existing information and the outcomes of supporting field investigations. It should be noted that the information regarding legislation is current at the time of writing this section but may be subject to change in the future. Legislation requirements covered in the EIS have been cited from: • Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) • Nature Conservation Act 1992 (NC Act) • Nature Conservation (Wildlife) Regulation 2006 (NC Regulation) • Vegetation Management Act 1999 (VM Act) • Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Act 2002 • Land Protection (Pest and Stock Route Management) Regulation 2003 The currency of such information will be checked during the detailed design phase of the Project and prior to commencement of construction activities within the project area. Currently the designation of threatened species under the NC Act and NC Regulation is being reviewed to conform with international classification and as such species listed as rare will be reassessed and classified as either least concern, vulnerable, near threatened, endangered or critically endangered. 6.1 Existing environment 6.1.1 Methodology In March 2007, Connell Hatch prepared a desktop ecological assessment to support the development of an Initial Advice Statement, EPBC Referral for determination of the Project’s controlled action status under the EPBC Act and ultimately assist in the EIS process. The Project was deemed a not controlled action under Section 75 of the EPBC Act.

In this paper the genus is argued to be polyphyletic and, on the basis of shared derived character states, is subdivided into three genera, one with two subgenera. The taxa are: Anomalopus (Anomalopus) mackayi n. sp., A.(A.) verreauxii Dumeril & Dumeril, 1851 and A.(A.J leuckartii Weinland, 1862; Anomalopus (Vermiseps) swansoni n. subgen., n. sp., A.(V.J pluto Ingram, 1977, A.(V.) gowi n. sp. and A.(V.) brevicollis n. sp.; Ophioscincus truncatus Peters, 1876, O. ophioscincus Peters, 1873 and O. cooloolensis n. sp.; Coeranoscincus reticulatus Giinther, 1873 and C. frontalis De Vis, 1888.

    NOWRA (NSW) FLY-IN 28th October to 2nd November 1998 Not an official fly-in, but attendance recommended to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Fleet Air Arm, HMAS Albertross reunion. WESTPORT (NZ) FLY-IN 26th to 28th February 1999 The Westport fly-in finished as a great success. The start on Friday 26th was disrupted by bad weather which caused a number of cancellations as participants had some difficulty in flying in. This reduced the numbers at the Friday night dinner. As usual there were a number of Australians in attendance, almost outnumbering the NZ participants. Saturday the weather did not improve much and forced the postponement of the Airshow planned by the Westport Rotary Club to raise funds for runway lighting at the local airport. Saturday morning, instead of our planned trip to view the Open Cut Coal mine, the rim of which would be lost in cloud, the IFFR participants visited the Coal Museum which was most interesting as it gave the history of the coal industry from the late 1800s to the present day. It highlighted the "Denniston Incline" where full coal wagons coming down the two mile incline on a cable, hauled the empties up to the mine for reloading. The coal for many years was shipped from Westport. A finger food lunch was enjoyed at the Waimangaroa Hotel, where we were joined by more IFFR members, who had driven in after leaving their plane some 100kilometres away. The IFFR meeting was held on the Saturday afternoon in the hope that Sunday would be fine and that the Airshow would proceed.
