    GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION STUDY: FORECASTING TRAVEL DEMAND Authored by: Helen Battellino and Carolyn Stone PPM Consultants Pty Ltd 101 Sussex Street Sydney NSW 2000 [email protected] [email protected] Greater Western Sydney Transportation Study Battellino & Stone Acknowledgements The authors wish to acknowledge the Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils for initiating and funding this project. The project would also not have been possible without the expertise and dedication of Dr Nariida Smith and the Transport Futures Team at the CSIRO who undertook the analysis of the data on current travel trends and Paul van den Bos of Computing in Transportation who modelled the scenarios using the Sydney Strategic Travel Model (STM). The authors would also like to thank David Kilsby (Kilsby Australia) for his assistance in developing the model inputs, the Transport Population and Data Centre (TPDC) for providing access to the STM and Frank Milthorpe, Modelling Manager, TPDC, for his advice in using the STM. This work was also made possible by using systems developed for scenario modelling using the STM by David Kilsby and Paul van den Bos in previous projects for the then Department of Transport. This work is as yet not publicly available. The results of this study and the views expressed are solely the responsibility of the authors.

It seems he was illegitimate Context Seven Years War – Industrial Revolution - Technology N Ferguson – four great inventions in 1760s: The longitude finding chronometer (Harrison 1761) The advanced steam engine (Watt 1764) The spinning jenny (Hargraves 1766) The water frame – vital for spinning cotton (Arkwright 1769) Production of iron It was also the Age of Enlightenment Science – Medicine (aspirin),Salicylic acid Edward Stone (1763) Physics (electricity). Astronomy, Biology Geology, Curiosity, categories, rational explanations and understandings Why is it so? Enormous curiosity tempered with a bias of reason: the need to understand the vast array of natural phenomena. Linnaean Society Robert Townson moved to Shropshire to live with his sister when his father died in 1773. She was married to a country cleric. Townson began a career in the mercantile business in Manchester where there was money to be made but he could not stick at it. 1776 to 1783 QUOTE 1783 – “I set to estimate the difference between sacrificing for at least the best years of my life everything that afforded me pleasure to the probable increase of my fortune by continuing in trade; or resolving at once to manage it with such economy as should enable me to pursue the path my inclination pointed out.” (HT) So he decided to follow his muse to become a naturalist.

  • Crown Cemetery Development, Varroville

    Crown Cemetery Development, Varroville

    CROWN CEMETERY DEVELOPMENT, VARROVILLE Presentation from the Scenic Hills Association at Public Meeting of the Independent Planning Commission, 25 March 2019 (Copy provided 26 March 2019) I am the Convenor of the Scenic Hills Association (Association) as well as an owner of state listed Varro Ville Homestead which this cemetery proposal completely surrounds. I am speaking here as the Convenor of the Association though at times I will, of necessity, refer to issues that my husband and I are more involved in. We oppose this Development Application. Trust and Confidence in the Process Unlike the Wallacia cemetery proposal, also being considered by the Planning Commission, cemeteries are and were prohibited in the Scenic Hills E3 Environmental Protection Area, when the Catholic Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (or CMCT) took out an option on this land at 166-176 St Andrews Road Varroville and applied for a spot-rezoning. It is now almost six years that the community has been fighting this proposal, during which time there has been a notable lack of integrity in the planning process at every level of government, starting with a questionable land deal at the heart of this proposal involving a land developer and certain people on our own Council, that has left us without any trust in the planning system - such that if this cemetery is approved as currently recommended by the Department of Planning (DOP), we will not leave any stone unturned in getting this whole saga investigated by whatever means. We have supported various proposals put to us over the last year – from an integrity commission with powers to investigate past projects (during the Kaldas Review of Governance in the NSW Planning System) to a Royal Commission into the Planning System proposed by the Greens at the election last weekend.
