  • Buckenbowra Pre Logging Jan 08 Buckenbowra Logged March 09
    UPDATE ON LOGGING ACTIVITIES IN SOUTH COAST/SOUTHERN REGION MARCH 2009 Buckenbowra pre logging Jan 08 Buckenbowra logged March 09 The Southern Region runs from Nowra down to Cobargo and out to the Great Dividing Range. The unprotected State Forest areas total 200,000+ hectares. From the March IFOA report we see that there are currently 15 different compartments being logged in the area, totalling 3071 hectares. • Just south of Nowra, and very close to the coast, in the Jervis Bay Catchment, compartment 1040 of Currambene SF is being logged, we suspect that most of the wood goes to the big firewood yard near Tomerong, but a fair proportion would also be heading down to the Eden chip mill. • In the Clyde River Catchment four compartments are active: South Brooman 55 & 61, Currowan 222,and Yadboro 445. • In the Tomaga River Catchment compartment 186 of Mogo SF is undergoing the AGS treatment. AGS means ‘Australian Group Selection’ in stumpy-speak; but to a normal bush observer it means mini clear fells dotted through the compartment. This style of logging is quite new to the coastal zone but we expect it will become the norm as supplies for the chipper dwindle. • Wandera 586 has been active since 7may08, part of the ongoing logging of the eastern area of this SF in the Deua River Catchment area. Once done there we expect they will head out to the western side of Wandera into more contentious territory. • In the Tuross River Catchment there are four logging operations active: compartments 3020 and 3067 of Bodalla SF.

  • Palerang Final Report 2015
    Final Report 2015 Palerang LGA 540 Date: 17 November 2015 FINAL REPORT PALERANG LGA 2015 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OVERVIEW Palerang Local Government Area The Palerang Local Government area adjoins the Australian Capital Territory as well as seven NSW LGA’s comprising Yass Valley, and Queanbeyan City to the West, Eurobodulla Shire to the East, Shoalhaven to the Northeast, Goulburn-Mulwaree and Upper Lachlan to the North and Cooma-Monaro to the South. Morton, Budawang, Monga and Deua National Parks are located in the eastern portion, separating Palerang from the South Coast. Tallaganda State Forest and National Park is located South of Bungendore. The LGA covers an area of 5143 square km, and has a population of 14,835 ( 2011 census ). The topography is variable with valleys of flat to undulating arable lands running north/south alternating with steeper grazing slopes and bush covered hills. Palerang is predominantly a rural district as well as accommodating Canberra based workers. Farming is an important sector within the District although small holdings and hobby farms dominate in terms of numbers. Rural subdivision has resulted in many of the larger farm holdings being reduced in size. Productive farms make up a small fraction of the total property sales occurring. Palerang is a popular district with easy access to Canberra and Queanbeyan and to a lesser extent Goulburn, Sydney and the NSW South Coast. Batemans Bay is accessible via the Kings Highway, while Shoalhaven can be accessed via Nerriga Road. Land development within the district in the past has followed the traditional pattern of subdivision of farmland into rural/residential blocks and hobby farms with rural- residential subdivisions near Queanbeyan and the ACT.

  • Monitoring the Ecosystem Health of Estuaries on the NSW South Coast
    Monitoring the Ecosystem Health of Estuaries on the NSW South Coast D Wiecek 1, R Laine 1, M Edmonds 2, and S Pickering 3 1 NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, Wollongong, NSW 2 Eurobodalla Shire Council, NSW 3 Shoalhaven City Council, NSW Abstract Working with Councils to gain an improved understanding of the ecosystem health of estuaries is a key objective of the NSW Government Estuary Management Program, administered by the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). A well designed monitoring program can provide this understanding. Over the past few years both Shoalhaven City and Eurobodalla Shire Councils have embarked on additional estuary monitoring to enable them to provide baseline information on the ecosystem health of their respective estuaries. This information will also be used to help evaluate and report on the implementation of their estuary management plans (now termed coastal zone management plans), as well as inform ongoing management directions. Shoalhaven City and Eurobodalla Shire Councils’ estuary monitoring programs have historically centred on pressure indicators such as nutrients and/or bacterial sampling. Although very useful in monitoring pollution sources and recreational swimming quality, this has not provided Council with information sufficient to determine whether estuary ecosystem health is declining, being maintained or improving through initiatives such as implementation of estuary management plans. Both Councils recognised the need to modify their existing programs to fill this information gap in a scientifically robust and consistent manner. They now have two years of monitoring completed broadly in line with the monitoring and reporting protocols of the NSW Government Natural Resources Monitoring, Reporting and Evaluation (MER) Program (estuary theme).
