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.

(2014). Geology and Geomorphology of Jenolan Caves and the Surrounding Region. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 136, 99-130. Detailed mapping by university students and staff since the 1980s has significantly elucidated previously poorly known stratigraphic and structural relationships in the Jenolan Caves region. Apart from andesite of ?Ordovician age, rocks west of the caves probably correlate with the lower Silurian Campbells Group. That succession is faulted against the Silurian (mid Wenlockian) Jenolan Caves Limestone, in which caves developed during several episodes from the late Palaeozoic. Immediately east of Jenolan Caves, siliciclastic sedimentary and volcaniclastic rocks with interbedded silicic lavas constitute the newly defined Inspiration Point Formation, correlated with the upper Silurian to Lower Devonian Mount Fairy Group. Several prominent marker units are recognised, including limestone previously correlated with the main Jenolan limestone belt. Extensive strike-slip and thrust faulting disrupts the sequence, but in general the entire Silurian succession youngs to the east, so that beds apparently steeply-dipping westerly are actually overturned.

  • Expression of Interest for Repurposing of the Wallerawang Power Station
    Expression of Interest for Repurposing of the Wallerawang Power Station Expression of Interest for Repurposing of the Wallerawang Power Station (WPS) and associated infrastructure, either as a whole or part; multiple uses and occupation is possible. Closing Date & Time: Monday 15th August 5pm Location: Wallerawang Power Station (WPS) is located approximately 150 km west of Sydney via the A32 and 12 km to the west of Lithgow on the B55 Castlereagh Highway and is also serviced by the Main Western Railway. Figure1: Location of the Wallerawang Power Station in relation to Sydney & Lithgow Background: Wallerawang Power Station was a coal fired power station, located at Wallerawang, approximately 150 kilometers west of Sydney in the Central Tablelands region of New South Wales, Australia. The power station was equipped with two turbo-alternators of 500 megawatts (670,000 hp) each, supplied by C. A. Parsons and Company of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. The station was purchased from the government by Energy Australia in 2013. Due to declining electricity demand, the first of the two generating units was mothballed in early 2013, and the second in April 2014. The site still has the ability for high voltage connection. The site lends itself to become a major area for the establishment of a Business Park. There are a number of buildings on the site which could be repurposed for a variety of uses including large scale office space, warehousing and manufacturing. The Site: The site covers an area of 80 hectares (additional adjacent land may be available) and has well established concrete roads and landscaping.

In elaboration, the Group's objectives are: 1. Identify areas of an historic nature including I buildings and specific sites 2. Formalise an approach in which these specific areas can be identified 3. Set down methods in which controls can be established for the protection or enhancement of identified areas Through the Environmental Ph~nning & Assessment Act, additional rf",sponsibility has been placed on individual I Councils to shape their communities; &_nd preserving the past, too, has been given recognition through the Heritage Act. These .A_cts - powerful legislative tools - can be ·1 effectively used by the Council to ensure progress proceeds sympatheticalIJ"' with the preservation of important i terns of environmental heritage. Lithgow, a cradle of industrial development in Australia, the birthplace of BHP a major initiator of manufacturing and mining in the nineteenth century, an important centre on the road leading west from Sydney, has significant reminders of our nation's history.
