  • Paper Will Discuss the Primary Issues Relating to the Introduction of the Concept of Smps
    STORMWATER 2010 National Conference of the Stormwater Industry Association Conference Proceedings STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLANS IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA THEIR EVOLUTION AND THEIR FUNCTION Author/s: Mr Christopher Wright, Water Projects Officer, Water Management Services, Adelaide & Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board Bill Lipp, Principal Stormwater Engineer, SA Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure Abstract Stormwater Management Plans (SMP) are intended to become the major tool in determining the planning and investment strategies for all things related to urban stormwater in SA. Ultimately it is intended that all applications for funding from the Stormwater Management Authority must be supported by a SMP that has been formally endorsed by the relevant Natural Resources Management Board. This is intended to ensure that planning for stormwater infrastructure is done on a catchment or whole of town basis and that there is degree of uniformity in the plans produced. The SMP has to set objectives for stormwater management and to focus on flood risk, water quality and reuse. It also has to allow for the way in which urban land use will affect stormwater in future years. This paper will discuss the primary issues relating to the introduction of the concept of SMPs. It will highlight the problem areas experienced in preparing these plans and how they were overcome. The paper will conclude with some proposals to provide better guidance in the development of future SMPs 1. Introduction Stormwater Management Plans (SMPs) in South Australia are intended to become the major tool in determining the planning and investment strategies for all urban stormwater actions and measures.

  • The Public Will Thank You for Your Timely Article on the Absurdity of So Many of the Names with Which Our Localities in South Australia Are Humiliated
    B The public will thank you for your timely article on the absurdity of so many of the names with which our localities in South Australia are humiliated. The places so handicapped are, like the unfortunate infants christened after certain celebrities, voiceless in the matter… (Register, 25 July 1900, page 7d) Baan Hill - On section 50, Hundred of Allenby; an adjacent spring gives a good supply of water all year round; derived from the Aboriginal panau - ‘ochre’. The name was given to a pastoral run by H.S. Williams and J.T. Bagot and, on 24 June 1976, proclaimed as a recreation reserve. Babbage, Mount - B.H. Babbage discovered the mountain in 1856 and named it ‘Mount Hopeful’; in the following year it was renamed by G.W. Goyder. Babbage Peninsula, situated on Lake Eyre North was, virtually, discovered by Babbage, as opposed to Lake Eyre South which was discovered by E.J. Eyre and not named until 1963. Born in London, circa 1814, he came to South Australia in the Hydaspes in 1851. A qualified engineer he was involved in the construction of the Port Adelaide railway, entered Parliament in 1857 and resigned nine months later to command a northern exploration party. By the end of six months his explorations had scarcely penetrated beyond the limits of pastoral settlement and, consequently, both the public and the government, increasingly, became impatient at his slow rate of progress. Eventually, Major P. E. Warburton was dispatched to take over the leadership and, later, it was said that, ‘Babbage’s expedition of 1858-59 was one of the most fruitful in its detailed collection of geographical information and the minuteness of its survey work.’ The Advertiser of 24 December 1858 has a satirical poem - one verse reads: Each caviller at Babbage then A fairy land, no doubt, he’d see, We’d northward send exploring Where others saw but gravel, To find new land, or water when And geographic problems he He chose artesian boring! Most surely would unravel.

Integrating non-market values in economic analysis of flood mitigation options: a case study of the Brown Hill and Keswick creeks catchment in Adelaide Morteza Chalak, Veronique Florec, Atakelty Hailu, Fiona Gibson and David Pannell Abstract: This study undertakes an economic analysis of flood mitigation options for a high flood risk catchment in Adelaide, South Australia: the Brown Hill and Keswick creeks catchment. Several proposals for flood mitigation investments have been presented, including creek capacity upgrades, high flow bypass culverts and detention dams. For flood managers to know which option or options provide the best value for money, it is necessary to compare the costs and the benefits of all available options. To date, economic analyses have focused primarily on estimating the tangible (market) costs and benefits of mitigation strategies, but have largely ignored the intangible (non-market) costs and benefits.
