I am delighted to present herein a summary of disciplines to strengthen innovation and leadership activities and achievements for 2005 from the staff qualities in our graduates. and students of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The wealth of talent Further changes are also ongoing across our and breadth of outcomes across the School is postgraduate coursework programs. One of the impressive against all benchmarks, and continues School’s trademarks is our invaluable service to the to position us as one of the finest schools of its type profession through a range of Masters by in Australia and the region. Indeed, within the coursework offerings, which distinguishes our Faculty of Engineering we were one of the highest School from all of its competitors. Here we are performers and the Faculty was place first in working with industry and other stakeholders to Australia and sixteenth in the world (Times higher establish the right mix of courses/programs with education supplement, 2005). new external funding to further strengthen our position within the South-East Asian region. The particularly high demand for our graduates is, UNSW’s new private university in Singapore (UNSW however, a mixed blessing. Despite one of the Asia) commencing in 2007 also adds opportunities most buoyant job market ever for civil and for the School, initially via our extensive external environmental engineers, across the country we are studies postgraduate coursework offerings. still faced with a poor proportion of secondary school leavers entering our disciplines, particularly Highlights for 2005 and general information on the for environmental engineering. While overall organisation framework of the School and its numbers of undergraduates entering our School is outcomes follow. So to conclude I would like to on the increase and our research success, thank all those in and associated with the School particularly with ARC Discovery Grants was one of that have made 2005 such a success, despite the best ever, budget changes across the university outside difficulties. In particular I wish to thank necessitated a painful staff restructure. It is also Professor Ian Gilbert for an outstanding very difficult to attract local PhD students due to contribution to the School. Ian stepped down in the current market opportunities. August 2005 after over nine years as Head of School, so as to take up his five-year ARC Overall, we are seeing the results of a perceived Professorial Fellowship within the structures mature field (engineering) amongst ‘smart’ upstarts discipline of the School. in different business and marketing areas, which have been attracting more of the higher achieving students. To counter these trends, the School has totally revised its two undergraduate degree programs in civil and environmental engineering. We are also preparing other initiatives with degrees that foster stronger trans-disciplinary skills with Architecture, Sciences and Management; to supplement our broad undergraduate education with the most comprehensive coverage of engineering electives in the country. While not diluting core engineering skills and practice, we are Professor Nicholas Ashbolt introducing sustainability principles across our June 2006 School of Civil & Environmental Engineering, UNSW Annual Report 2005 4 Highlights of 2005 Highlights of 2005 ARC Discovery Grant Success - The Best in Australia In the highly competitive ARC Discovery program, the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering was once again the most successful school or department in the discipline in Australia. Of the successful ARC Discovery grants commencing in 2005, School staff won eight new grants, totaling in excess of $3.18 million. This confirms the School’s place as one of UNSW’s most successful research schools. International Award for Excellence in Research Professor Nasser Khalili was presented with the International Association for Computational Mechanics and Advances in Geomechanics Excellent Contributions Award, Regional at the 11 IACMAG Conference, Turin Italy, June 19-24 2005 for his contributions to constitutive and numerical modelling of unsaturated soils. This award is presented every three years to a single person with outstanding contributions to research in the field of geomechanics. Churchill Fellowship awarded to Dr William Glamore of the Water Research Laboratory (WRL) to investigate international practices for restoring coastal wetlands. His aim was to visit practitioners overseas that have already restored coastal wetlands and to use their expertise to improve/develop Australian methods. Upon his return, Dr Glamore composed Australian methods to effectively restore coastal wetlands. Universitas21 Fellowship awarded to Lecturer, Dr Zora Vrcelj to investigate international practices in developing high quality, novel teaching and learning tools in Structural Engineering Education. The emphasis was on developing benchmarks in educational and teaching programs, in collaboration with colleagues at U21 universities. In general the focus was on new educational delivery methods and technologies leading to the development of a design studio for the School. ARC Research Successes Continued in 2005 In the Australian Research Council (ARC) Grants announced on 9 November 2005, the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UNSW was once again the most successful school in its discipline in Australia by a huge margin. With 5 new ARC Discovery Grants and 2 new ARC Linkage Grants worth in excess of $2.1m over the next three years, the School continues to lead the way nationally in research.

THE other day I heard someone call Sydney Western Sydney univeristy senior lecturer Ian Wright Harbour the 'lower Parramatta River'. wants to see more people swimming in the Parramatta River. This might have been a bit of a joke, but it is the major waterway feeding into Sydney Harbour. Why isn’t the Parramatta River celebrated liked Sydney The Parramatta River Catchment Group have Harbour is? embarked on a program to improve water quality in I can think of many reasons why this might be the the river. They are also encouraging the community case. Firstly, we have to acknowledge that the water to enjoy the many attractions and environmental quality of the Parramatta River has been historically values of the river and adjoining lands.

  • 5. Parramatta
    5. PARRAMATTA 5.1 Introduction Parramatta Local Government Area occupies an area of 60 square kilometres, straddling the upper reaches of the Parramatta River, in eastern parts of the western Sydney region. There is a marked difference in landscape type between those areas to the north and south of the Parramatta River. To the south and west, undulating Wianamatta shales of the Fairfield Basin are broken by low-lying fingers of Quaternary alluvium along the major creek lines such as Prospect Creek, Duck River, the upper parts of Toongabbie Creek and their tributaries. A small sandstone outcrop along an upper section of Duck River has little impact on topography, but is reflected in the disjunct occurrence of sandstone species. To the north of the river the Hornsby Plateau-Cumberland Plain interface is marked by steep rises. Small remnants of Wianamatta shales occur on ridge-tops and deep valleys are incised into Hawkesbury sandstone along creeks draining from the plateau. Soil landscapes reflect this variation in geology across the LGA. To the south and west the dominant soil landscape on the shales is Blacktown, with Birrong on the alluvium in drainage lines along the creeks. In the north-east beyond the still undulating shale and Blacktown soil landscape close to the river, the edge of the Hornsby Plateau produces a complex mosaic of soil landscapes including the shale-based Glenorie on the ridges, sandstone-based Gymea and Hawkesbury on the slopes and in the valleys, and patches of Lucas Heights associated with outcropping Mittagong Formation lying between Wianamatta shale and Hawkesbury Sandstone.
