    SUBMISSION 34 1 Submission on Wild Rivers Bill 2010. To: Standing Committee on Economics, House of Representatives, Parliament of Australia, Re: Inquiry into Indigenous economic development in Queensland and review of Wild Rivers Bill 2010. From: Emeritus Professor John Holmes, School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Management, The University of Queensland, 4072. Date: 7 February, 2011. Two issues are central in assessing the merit of the Wild Rivers declarations. These relate to property rights and to economic impacts, primarily for Indigenous people. This submission is directed towards economic issues. There are two questions requiring informed consideration. The first is to provide realistic appraisals of the immediate and longer-term economic opportunities in the declared catchments and riparian zones. The second is to determine the likely economic impacts of the declarations, including both positive and negative outcomes, particularly for the Indigenous people. Regional Economic Appraisal: Cape York Peninsula There are inescapable geographical impediments militating against broadscale agricultural and pastoral enterprises and against capital-intensive tourism on the peninsula. The peninsula lacks any lands of significant agricultural potential, comparable with extensive tracts in the Ord, Fitzroy or Douglas-Daly districts, capable of meeting any major impulses towards rural development in the tropical savannas. Environmental constraints are reinforced by formidable accessibility barriers, where, again, the peninsula is disadvantaged when compared with these other districts. There is a steep accessibility gradient towards the peninsula’s northern cul- de-sac. Inaccessibility leads to prohibitive cost burdens on agricultural inputs, notably fuel and fertilisers and also on marketing of outputs. In addition to the cost burdens, there are logistic impediments in ensuring reliability, frequency and timeliness in transport systems, reinforced during the Wet Season.

Outback TV Background To a significant extent the Australian outback was opened up and developed through self reliance and homesteads and communities helping each other. It is no surprise then that the same happened with the development of free-to-air television reception in the outback. In the years since the first Aussat analogue satellite free-to-air TV services launched in 1985 to be replaced by the Aurora digital satellite platform in 1997 some 460 community groups pooled local resources and developed so called self-help analog TV transmission facilities to terrestrially retransmit the free-to-air TV channels that were available from the satellite. Including the regional and metropolitan areas of Australia there are around 700 self-help analog television sites in Australia operating in the order of 2,800 analog transmitters or roughly 50% to 60% more than those operated by all the commercial free-to-air broadcasters and the ABC and SBS put together. It is therefore somewhat ironic and bewildering that a new free-to-air digital satellite platform called VAST was developed between January 2009 and March 2010 by the broadcasters, DBCDE and Optus that no one thought to consult anyone of those 700 self-help analog television licensees.

  • Introduction 1 Management Approach 2 Project
    OzEpsilon-1 Exploration Well Environmental Management Plan Summary 1 INTRODUCTION Statoil has planned an exploration drilling program of up to five wells to be carried out in 2014. Site and access construction are scheduled for June 2014 with the OzEpsilon-1 exploration well scheduled to be drilled in July 2014. The well site is located in EP 128 in the Georgina Basin in the eastern part of the Northern Territory approximately 420 km north east of Alice Springs. Co-ordinates for the well site are: 699244mE, 7652877mS (UTM, Zone 53). A map of the location is contained in Appendix 2. After the operations Statoil will permanently plug the OzEpsilon-1 well and carry out remediation works in consultation with the pastoral lessee. 2 MANAGEMENT APPROACH Statoil employs highly skilled and experienced engineers and consultants to ensure that the environmental risks from its operations are as low as reasonably practicable. Statoil acknowledges the importance of the sustainable development to secure its future and to ensure the ongoing relationship with all stakeholders. The drilling of OzEpsilon-1 has been planned based on the following principles: - Minimise interference with the use of the land by other persons; - Prevent unnecessary disturbance of flora, fauna and other natural resources; - Avoid pollution of soil, water or the atmosphere; - Minimise the incidence and effects of soil erosion. 3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION The core activities involved in the OzEpsilon-1 project involve access and site construction, drilling and site rehabilitation. Access to the well site and camp site will be via a cleared track from the Sandover Highway totalling approximately 500 meters.
