Tassal is committed to being the industry leader in sustainable aquaculture production in Australia. Tassal currently farms approximately 24 000 T of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) per annum, with all of the stock produced in Tasmania. Tassal is the largest producer of Atlantic salmon in Australia and is a publicly listed company on the Australian Stock Exchange. More recently Tassal has acquired De Costi Seafoods allowing direct access to wholesale markets around the nation. This partnership provides a direct market link to supply chains and allows Tassal to enter the greater seafood distribution domain. As part of Tassal’s ongoing commitment to environmental and social best practice, the company holds Global Aquaculture Alliances Best Aquaculture Practices certification of its Marine Farming Operations and its Primary Processing Facility. This document will cover the proposed amendment to the Tasman Farming Region. 2.1 Proposed Amendment Description The rationale behind this proposal is to harmonize the Tasman Farming Region’s environmental monitoring with other Tasmanian salmon farming regions, and will align this region with State-wide best practice water quality monitoring. This will provide a framework which will allow Tassal the flexibility to stock fish depending on environmental performance,

  • Groundwater, Mineral Resources and Land Stability in the Tasman Peninsula. 1. Groundwater from Fractured Rocks
    1979/3. Groundwater, mineral resources and land stability in the Tasman Peninsula. W.C. Cromer, R.C. Donaldson P. C. Stevenson V.N. Threader Abstract Groundwater prospects, mineral deposits and land stability are discussed to provide information for a planning study of the Tasman Peninsula. INTRODUCTION This report was written at the request of the Commissioner for Town and Country Planning, and is the result of a map compilation, a search of records and field work during the period 20 - 24 November 1978. 1. Groundwater from fractured rocks P.C. Stevenson The amoun~ of water that may be obtained from the hard rocks of the Peninsula by boreholes is controlled by the composition and conditions of weathering and fracture. The amount of direct information is limited because only eight bore­ holes have been recorded, all at Koonya, Premaydena or Nubeena, but exper­ ience in other parts of the State enable some general comments to be made. The geology of the Peninsula is shown in Figure 1. The Jurassic dolerite, which forms many of the most rugged and remote parts of the Peninsula, has not been drilled for water but is regarded throughout Tasmania as an extremely poor prospect; very hard to drill, almost always dry and where water exists it is hard and saline. It cannot be recommended. The Permian mudstone and fine-grained sandstone have not been drilled in the Peninsula, but elsewhere are reliable producers of good quality groundwater. yields of 20 to 150 l/min and qualities of 200 - 600 mg/l of total dissolved solids are usual.

  • Norfolk Bay and Frederick Henry Bay Monitoring Program
    EPA Water Quality Monitoring Plan for Norfolk Bay, 2018-19 Introduction The EPA has undertaken to conduct water quality monitoring within Norfolk Bay (and Frederick Henry Bay) to assist in understanding of the marine environment and provide an independent validation of water quality data provided by the aquaculture industry. Aims To provide water quality information to increase the understanding of water quality within Norfolk Bay and Frederick Henry Bay To provide water quality information to assist nutrient dispersion modelling and biogeochemical model development and validation To provide independent validation of water quality information collected by (or on behalf of) Huon Aquaculture. Description Norfolk Bay forms the northern extent of the Tasman Peninsula and Norfolk Bay Marine Farm Development Plan Area (MFDPA). The monitoring program is to commence during August 2018, prior to the Huon Aquaculture Permit Area being stocked with fish. Under the terms of Environmental Licence 9957 held by Huon Aquaculture, water quality monitoring is to be conducted at six (6) locations within Norfolk Bay and Fredrick Henry Bay. Of these five (5) were selected for monitoring under this program for validation purposes (See Table 1). Water quality data is to be collected on a monthly basis. Program commencement: August 2018 Scheduled completion: January 2019 Extension of the monitoring program is subject to review. An overview of the monitoring locations is shown in Table 1 and a map of the locations is shown in Figure 1. A list and overview of the environmental parameters to be collected is shown in Table 2.

  • ENACT – Submission to Legislative Council Inquiry Into Built Heritage Tourism in Tasmania – February 2015
    ENACT – submission to Legislative Council Inquiry into Built Heritage Tourism in Tasmania – February 2015 To the Committee Secretary: The following submission is respectfully put forward for consideration by the sub–committee. Addressing the terms of reference of your enquiry: Our built heritage in Tasmania is representative of the diverse nature of our growth from early settler days to some of the iconic buildings of today. Nowhere else in Australia is this diversity so abundant and compacted into such a small geographical area with matching natural beauty. It is unique to Tasmania and we are squandering much of that heritage and the opportunity that goes with it. This seems to be, in part, due the inability for all stakeholders to talk to each other and work together for the common good and realistic outcomes. Your reference points – government, tourism organisations, heritage organisations, other controlling bodies (eg – PWS) each do their own bits of research and work and prepare extensive reports that are printed, read, possibly mentioned in the media and are promptly filed for some future reference. Unless someone in an influential position picks up an idea or project, little happens. Then there are anti-everything groups and NIMBYs that seem to be able to stop any idea, good or bad, in its tracks. No one body seems to be responsible for collating the various reports and agreements (and disagreements) that occur over time. Such a body could facilitate the prioritisation of those projects have support from multiple agencies and stakeholders and bring those parties together to make them happen. A case in point is our own town of Eaglehawk Neck.

The review is undertaken in the context of the transition from the Tasman Interim Planning Scheme (2015) to the Tasmanian Planning Scheme. This transition process provides the opportunity to assess whether the zoning approach facilitates and controls land use in a manner that will meet the current and projected future needs of Port Arthur’s residents and visitors.
