The Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP Premier Parliament House SYDNEY NSW 2000 Dear Premier, Report – NSW Bushfire Inquiry In January 2020 you announced the establishment of the NSW Bushfire Inquiry, noting it was to be completed by 31 July 2020. We now submit the final report of that Inquiry. The 2019-20 bush fires were some of the worst in the world and in recorded history. The Inquiry has worked to understand what happened during the 2019-20 bush fire season and how it was different to seasons that have come before. It makes 76 recommendations for future improvements to how NSW plans and prepares for, and responds to, bush fires. Some of these recommendations are for immediate action; others for actions that need to start now but will take some time to complete. Noting the breadth of the Inquiry’s Terms of Reference, the recommendations range from improvements to operational systems and processes through to significant research and strategic policy frameworks that require further development and consultation with key stakeholders. In presenting this final report we wish to acknowledge the assistance of many people – those who took the time to write submissions or talk to the Inquiry; the NSW fire agencies; colleagues from government departments in NSW and other jurisdictions; colleagues in industry, research organisations, and professional associations; and the Secretariat and Advisors to the Inquiry drawn from several government departments who worked hard to help us make sense of a complex matter. -

Significant Impact Assessment
EPBC Act referral - Crib Point Pakenham Pipeline Significant Impact Assessment Ramsar sites Western Port Ramsar wetland The project is not considered likely to have a significant impact on the ecological character of the Western Port Ramsar site for the following reasons: Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) will be employed from approximately KP3.9 to KP4.4 and KP18.6 to KP19.5 so that surface disturbance of the Western Port Ramsar site is entirely avoided. As such there is no plausible risk that the project will cause areas of the wetland to be destroyed or substantially modified. No substantial and measurable change to the hydrological regime of the Western Port Ramsar site is expected to occur as a result of the project. The movement of water through the Western Port Ramsar site is dominated by semi-diurnal tides, and neither evaporation nor freshwater inputs are sufficient to affect flushing or to generate strong or persistent estuarine circulation patterns (Lee 2011). There is no plausible risk that the project will cause a substantial or measurable change to tidal patterns which dominate the hydrological regime of the Western Port Ramsar site. The project is considered unlikely to seriously affect the habitat or lifecycle of native species, including invertebrate fauna and fish species, dependent upon the Western Port Ramsar site. The ecological character description addendum for the Western Port Ramsar site (Hale 2016) identifies six species of waterbirds for which the wetland regularly supports greater than 1% of the global population. These species, which are listed below, are comprised of three non-breeding spring-summer visiting shorebirds, an oystercatcher, a tern and a gull. -

Branchline Society the Members Newsletter of the Castlemaine and Maldon Railway May 2014 Preservation Society
Castlemaine and Maldon Railway Preservation Branchline Society The Members Newsletter of the Castlemaine and Maldon Railway May 2014 Preservation Society Thank You to the Victorian State Government The Hon. Damian Drum MP enjoys the company of VGR volunteers and staff at the announcement of the grant for the Takeuchi hi-rail gear. The Victorian Goldfields Railway in Maldon will upgrade its track-layer and sleeper-replacement machine with the help of $50,400 from the Victorian Coalition Government’s $1 billion Regional Growth Fund. Member for Northern Victoria, Damian Drum MLC, pictured above with a group of VGR volunteers, said the machine would be able to operate on all railway gauges currently in use in Australia. “The Victorian Goldfields Railway has identified an opportunity to create a unique work team to operate the only Takeuchi Hi-Rail track machine in Victoria,” Mr Drum said. “The VGR is experiencing an ageing volunteer workforce and the acquisition of specialist machinery will remove some of the burden from the volunteers. “As well as maintaining the VGR’s rail system into the future, the project will maintain two full-time jobs and generate income for the VGR through contract work at various tourist railways, including the Maldon Castlemaine tourist railway and tracks like Puffing Billy, Mornington Railway and Southern Shorthaul Railroad. “The machine will be designed and built in Bendigo by engineering company McCullochs.” Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional and Rural Development Peter Ryan said the Coalition Government funding towards the $67,200 project to upgrade the Takeuchi Track Layer would be provided through the Regional Growth Fund to the Victorian Goldfields Railway, which will contribute $16,800.
