It explains “why, how and by whom” the subject area should be managed. In October 2007, Council as the Corporate Trust Manager for Hyde Park Reserve began the preparation of a draft Plan of Management (DPoM), for Crown Reserves R.97 and R.95074, which have been reserved for Public Recreation and Public Purposes. Lithgow Council acknowledges the financial grant contribution provided by the Department of Lands Public Reserves Management Fund to assist with the preparation of the Plan. The principle reason for preparing the draft plan over the Reserve is to deal with issues impacting upon the area and to ensure the plan complies with the Crown Lands Act 1989. Lithgow City Council presently manages Hyde Park Reserve as a bushland reserve that supports passive recreation, including bushwalking, picnics, and swimming. The Plan of Management describes these current usages in the reserve, and will describe future planned usage and management strategies for the Reserve. After Council approves the draft plan of management and the Department of Lands considers it satisfactory, it will be, (pursuant to Cl. 35 of the Crown Land Act 1989 – Regulation), placed on public display and a notice published in the NSW Government Gazette and local newspaper. The exhibition period of the draft plan provides an opportunity for public comment. After submissions have been received and considered, it is forwarded to the Minister for Lands for adoption. Once the Minister adopts the plan, Council as Trust Manager of the Reserve should only undertake uses, activities, or developments consistent with the finalised Plan of Management. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Hyde Park Reserve is an 18ha bushland reserve on the banks of the River Lett. The Reserve is well-known throughout the local community and has historically been a popular place for swimming and passive recreation. Hyde Park Reserve has significant natural, cultural, and recreational values. Two significant populations of flora species inhabit the Reserve, as well as containing significant cultural heritage values, and associations with early Blue Mountains expeditions. Current unrestricted recreational activities have increased substantially in recent years, resulting in many of the values associated with Hyde Park Reserve being impacted upon requiring addressing and remediation. This Plan of Management aims to ensure Hyde Park Reserve retains its environmental, scenic, cultural and social values and that key issues relating to the management of the reserve are addressed. The key strategies and recommendations is summarised and outlined further in Section 4. Lithgow City Council April 2008 6 HYDE PARK RESERVE HARTLEY PLAN OF MANAGEMENT Hyde Park Plan of Management Part 1 – Introduction Lithgow City Council April 2008 7 HYDE PARK RESERVE HARTLEY PLAN OF MANAGEMENT 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Purpose of a Plan of Management Lithgow City Council has prepared this Plan of Management to document the key values of ‘Hyde Park Reserve’ (Crown Reserves R.97 and R.95074) and guide its ongoing management, future use and development. Underpinning the Plan of Management is the involvement of stakeholders and the community in determining the values that are important and how these should be protected and enhanced.

    Heritage Newsletter of the Blue Mountains Association of Cultural Heritage Organisations Inc March-April 2016 ISSUE 43 ISSN 2203-4366 Photographers – through their eyes There is a particular group of people to whom we, as people/organisations interested in our history, owe a huge dept. That is - the photographer. Be it the official or professional or private photographer, they provide us with pictures of both ourselves and our nation, at specific points in time. Their work is a historical record, showing the meaning and intensity of life at the time, and the current social dynamics that accompany them. The Macquarie Dictionary (1995) defines a photographer as a person who carries out “the art of producing images of objects on sensitized surfaces by the chemical action of light or of other forms of radiant energy, as x-rays, gamma rays, cosmic rays etc”. Obviously today in a more modern definition, this would be expanded to include digital experiences. However, for the recording of historical subjects, this former definition would ring true. Many photographers in the 19th and 20th centuries sought to celebrate the communities of people who work to lay the foundations of the country, to record specific events, covering both individual stories, and town and rural life. Incline, Kembla Coal, King Katoomba clouds, Phillips Chinese wool wasking, Kerry When we look at a photo, what are we looking at? Many photos bring us back again and again, and we see something different every time. The photographer may have sought to depict a particular event, person, but inadvertently has recorded a variety of other material, such as fashions and tools, landscapes and buildings, cultures and social customs, techniques and trades.

  • Two Centuries of Botanical Exploration Along the Botanists Way, Northern Blue Mountains, N.S.W: a Regional Botanical History That Refl Ects National Trends
    Two Centuries of Botanical Exploration along the Botanists Way, Northern Blue Mountains, N.S.W: a Regional Botanical History that Refl ects National Trends DOUG BENSON Honorary Research Associate, National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, Sydney NSW 2000, AUSTRALIA. [email protected] Published on 10 April 2019 at https://openjournals.library.sydney.edu.au/index.php/LIN/index Benson, D. (2019). Two centuries of botanical exploration along the Botanists Way, northern Blue Mountains,N.S.W: a regional botanical history that refl ects national trends. Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 141, 1-24. The Botanists Way is a promotional concept developed by the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden at Mt Tomah for interpretation displays associated with the adjacent Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area (GBMWHA). It is based on 19th century botanical exploration of areas between Kurrajong and Bell, northwest of Sydney, generally associated with Bells Line of Road, and focussed particularly on the botanists George Caley and Allan Cunningham and their connections with Mt Tomah. Based on a broader assessment of the area’s botanical history, the concept is here expanded to cover the route from Richmond to Lithgow (about 80 km) including both Bells Line of Road and Chifl ey Road, and extending north to the Newnes Plateau. The historical attraction of botanists and collectors to the area is explored chronologically from 1804 up to the present, and themes suitable for visitor education are recognised. Though the Botanists Way is focused on a relatively limited geographic area, the general sequence of scientifi c activities described - initial exploratory collecting; 19th century Gentlemen Naturalists (and lady illustrators); learned societies and publications; 20th century publicly-supported research institutions and the beginnings of ecology, and since the 1960s, professional conservation research and management - were also happening nationally elsewhere.

    Report Cover Page ACERA Project 0605 Title Statistical Methods for Biosecurity Monitoring and Surveillance Author(s) / Address (es) David Fox, University of Melbourne Material Type and Status (Internal draft, Final Technical or Project report, Manuscript, Manual, Software) Final Report Summary This report investigates the applicability of traditional methods of analysing surveillance data to biosecurity risks, and explores some more recent innovations designed to detect subtle trends and anomalous behaviour in data over space and time. In particular, it examines control charting and syndromic surveillance methods, and explores how useful they are likely to be in dealing with typical biosecurity disease and pest surveillance. If focuses on disease detection, and methods for optimising surveillance networks and robust methods for minimising levels of inspection. This work provides a proof of concept of these approaches. The case studies, while based on real contexts, are intended only to be illustrative. If the tools are considered to be potentially useful, the next stage would involve development of specific applications to trial their utility.

  • Local Plumbing Regulators in NSW On-Site Plumbing and Drainage Compliance and Inspections
    Local plumbing regulators in NSW On-site plumbing and drainage compliance and inspections This document outlines who performs the functions of the plumbing regulator in NSW. Under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2011 NSW Fair Trading is the plumbing regulator in New South Wales. The Plumbing Code of Australia is the technical standard for compliance throughout NSW. It is the responsibility of the plumbing regulator in each area to set requirements for inspections of on-site plumbing and drainage. Fair Trading’s area of operation includes all areas in which properties are provided with services (either drinking water, recycled water or a sewerage service) by Sydney Water Corporation or Hunter Water Corporation. This area of operation stretches from Gerringong in the south (the Illawarra), to Newcastle, Port Stephens and Dungog in the north (the Hunter), and west to Mount Victoria (Blue Mountains). The function of the plumbing regulator has been delegated by Fair Trading to local councils, county councils, or other qualified bodies. The delegation of the function has been accepted by local and county councils across NSW, with a small number of exceptions where the council declined the delegation. Below are two tables identifying the local authority for plumbing regulator functions, including conducting inspections, throughout NSW by local government area. Please Note: Onsite plumbing and drainage work does not include stormwater, fire suppression; work on network utility assets or roof plumbing. If you are a plumber or drainer in regional
