    1. KEY FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The Dubbo, Gilgandra and Narromine economies have performed strongly over recent years, with evidence that parts of the economy are operating at close to full capacity. With a large pipeline of significant infrastructure and construction projects planned for the region and low levels of unemployment, it is expected that some industry sectors will suffer from a shortage of skilled staff over the next few years, unless strategies are put in place to support economic growth. Dubbo Regional Council, Gilgandra Shire Council and Narromine Shire Council along with the NSW Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC), have commissioned the Western Research Institute (WRI) to deliver an industry engagement and research project to better understand the extent skills shortages are impacting on local construction, infrastructure, rail and heavy industry sectors in the local economies and what can be done to mitigate these expected skill shortages once the expected major projects have commenced. This report details the findings of WRI’s industry engagement and research activities. This report delivers a capital expenditure and employment project derived from a comprehensive assessment of planned capital projects in the Dubbo, Gilgandra and Narromine region over the next six years. 4 WESTERN RESEARCH INSTITUTE KEY FINDINGS • A review of data relating to employment, skills • Specific skill shortages were found across and the economies of the Dubbo, Gilgandra and the trades listed below. Strong future demand Narromine region illustrate a regional economy was also identified for specific skills, including with strong growth in construction and mining, plant operators, truck drivers, electricians, and low levels of unemployment.

  • AIR CRASH on the CORDEAUX 1936 the Following Letter Concerning an Aircraft Crash Near Cordeaux Dam in 1936 Has Been Received from Mr
    18 April lllawarra Historical Society In his choice of subjects Lycett pandered to this taste, carefully concealing that New South Wales was "the biggest penitentiary on earth", (14) just as he euphem­ istically describes his stay in Australia as "ten years in the special employ of the Governor as an artist." (15) On the title page of Views he describes himself as "Artist to Major General Macquarie late Governor of those Colonies", implying in these two statements that he was employed by Macquarie for ten years. Bigge, in his report, certainly contradicts this. (16) One can almost hear Bigge, in private conversation, declaring that Lycett remained a con-man to the end! It is highly likely that Lycett never saw some of the places represented in his Views, but depended on other people's sketches for his content. For example, his drawing of a Huon pine is totally unconvincing; and there is no way he could have reached the Bathurst Cataract, now known as Apsley Falls. Howeve there is no doubt at all that his Views in Australia remains a monument to the Macquarie era.

Patton Economic Research Report No. 31 Farming Systems in the Pastoral Zone of NSW: An Economic Analysis Salahadin Khairo Economist, Pastures and Rangelands NSW DPI, Trangie John Mullen Research Leader, Economics Research NSW DPI, Orange Ron Hacker Research Leader, Pastures and Rangelands NSW DPI, Trangie Dean Patton Manager Condobolin Agricultural Research Centre March 2008 Economic Research Report No. 31 ii © NSW DPI 2008 This publication is copyright. Except as permitted under the Copyright Act 1968, no part of this publication may be reproduced by any process, electronic or otherwise, without the specific written permission of the copyright owner. Neither may information be stored electronically in any way whatever without such permission. ABSTRACT A ‘broad brush’ picture of farming in the pastoral zone of NSW is presented in this report. The pastoral zone of NSW is characterised by wide variations in climatic conditions, soil type and vegetation species. Hence representative faming system analysis was conducted for three sub-regions - the Upper Darling, the Murray-Darling and Far West. The regions were defined and described in terms of their resources, climate and the nature of agriculture. The main enterprises that farmers choose between were described and whole farm budgets and statements of assets and liabilities for the representative farms were developed. The representative farm models were used to compare traditional Merino based sheep enterprises with alternative sheep enterprises where meat was an important source of income. We found that the farming systems that have evolved in these areas are well suited to their respective environments and that the economic incentives to switch to more meat focussed sheep enterprises were not strong.
