In accordance with the provisions of section six of the Main Roads Act, 1924-31, I have the honour to submit the Seventh Annual Report under the Main Roads Act, for presentation to Parliament, through the Minister. The Report covers the period from 1st July, 1931, to 30th June, 1932, though a few matters referred to are carried beyond the latter date for convenience and completeness of record. PART I.—PRELIMINARY. MINISTER. For the period 1st July, 1931, to 31st August, 1931, the Hon. J. McGirr.. M.L.A., as Minister for Local Government, was in charge of the administration of the Main Roads Act. Following the passage of the State Transport (Co-ordination) Act, 1931, the administration of the Main Roads Act, 1924-29, was by proclamation'in the Government Gazette of 1st' September, 1931, vested .in the Colonial Treasurer, the Hon. J. T. Lang, M.L.A. In March, 1932, the Ministry of Transport Act, 1932, was passed, and by proclamation published in Government Gazette of\'22nd March, 1932, became operative from that date. The Hon. J. McGirr, M.L.A., who was given the .'portfolio of Minister for Transport, then took charge until, consequent upon the change of. Government in May;.1932, he was succeeded by Lieut. Col. the Hon. M. F. Bruxner, D.S.O., M.L.A., as Minister for Transport froni"21st May, 1932. CHANGES IN ADMINISTRATION. With the passage of the Government Railways and Main Roads (Amendment) Act in December, 193J, the personnel of the Main Roads Board was altered. Mr. J. Garlick, President, whose term of office expired on 6th January, 1932, was not re-appointed. Under the Act mentioned, Mr. H. H. Newell, whose term of office,'as a Member of the Main Roads Board was due to expire on 8th March, 1932, was appointed as President of - the Board, and Mr. T. H. Upton, whese term of office expired on 18th March, 1932, was re-appoiiited as'-Member, a proviso being included in the Act that these appointments would terminate on 31st Dccemit)er/-l932, or on such earlier date as might he provided in any Act. Following the passage of the Ministry of Transport Act, 1932, which, was assented to on 22ndMarch, 1932, the Government Railways and Main Roads (Amendment) Act, 1931, was repealed and a Department of Transport was constituted. The Act provided for the transfer to a new corporate -body (The Transport Commissioners of New South Wales) of the powers and functions previously exercised by the Board, which from the date the Ministry of Transport Act came into force (22nd March, 1932) ceased to exist. Matters concerning main and developmental roads—and in the. Metropolitan Division, secondary roads—that is, all things dealt with under the Main Roads Act, 1924-31, were, from the 22nd March. 1932, a responsibility of the Way and Works Branch of the Transport Department under the charge of Mr. A. C. Fewtrell as Transport Commissioner. Mr. Newell was appointed a Transport Commissioner and placed in charge of the Highway and Roads Transportation Branch, and llr. T. H. Upton was employed from 28th March, 1932, to 29th April. 1932, in an advisory capacity by the Department of Transport to assist the Commissioner in the administration of the Road Maintenance and Construction-Section of the Way and Works Branch. Following upon the change of Government previously referred to, a proclamation was issued in the Government Gazette of 24th June, 1932, whereby the administration of the Main Roads Act, 1924-31, was transferred from the Way and Works Branch and again placed under the control of Mr. H. H. Newell. At the same time, the Commissioners, by resolution under Section II of the Ministry of Transport Act, vested him with the full powers of the Transport Commissioners in respect of the Main Roads Act, and on 1st July, 1932, Mr. T. H. Upton was again appointed in an advisory capacity. Following on his appointment as Acting Transport Commissioner for Tramways and Road Transport, Mr. S. A. Maddocks took over from Mr. Newell the administration of road transport. \ 2 ALTERATION OF BOUNDARIES AND HEADQUARTERS OF COUNTRY AND METROPOLITAN DIVISIONS. Following the temporary absorption of main and developmental road matters with railway and tramway affairs in the Way and Works Branch of the Department of Transport (referred to in the preceding paragraph), the divisional boundaries were varied and the previously existing seven main roads divisions (with headquarters at Sydney (2), Queanbeyan, Wagga Wagga, Parkcs, Tain worth and Glen Innes) changed into transport districts (with headquarters at Sydney, Newcastle, Goulburn, Wagga Wagga, Bathurst and Tamworth). This arrangement took effect from 1st May, 1932. The control of the North Coast District from Newcastle was not, however, so far as main roads were concerned, convenient, and on the reconstitution of the administration of main roads affairs as a separate section, the matter was again reviewed, and the original number of divisions reverted to (but with modified boundaries) with headquarters at Sydney, Newcastle, Goulburn, Wagga Wagga. Parkes, Tamworth and Gl.cn Innes. The main differences between the present and the original arrangements are that a considerable portion of the old Outer Metropolitan Division has been included with the Metropolitan, whiles the remainder of the first named division, together with the Upper and Lower Northern and Central Western Divisions, have been adjusted to suit the new divisional headquarters at Newcastle. FEDERAL AID ROADS AGREEMENT—AMENDMENT. The negotiations between the Commonwealth and State Governments reviewed in' earlier reports' culminated during the year in the adoption of an amended agreement along the lines set out in those reports. It may be reiterated- briefly here that there is to be distributed between1 the States (on a population and area basis) the product of an import duty of 2-id. per gallon on petrol, together with an excise duty of lfd. per gallon. The new agreement permits the Commonwealth payments to be expended on any form of roadwork and reduces to a minimum the extent of Commonwealth control over disbursements. The amendment operated as from 1st July, 1931 and will continue until 31st December,. 1936. ^ Acceptance of the amended agreement was ratified by Parliament by the passage of the Federal Aid Roads (Further Agreement) Act, 1931, in October, 1931. This Act provides that the receipts from the Commonwealth Government

  • Functioning and Changes in the Streamflow Generation of Catchments
    Ecohydrology in space and time: functioning and changes in the streamflow generation of catchments Ralph Trancoso Bachelor Forest Engineering Masters Tropical Forests Sciences Masters Applied Geosciences A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Trancoso, R. (2016) PhD Thesis, The University of Queensland Abstract Surface freshwater yield is a service provided by catchments, which cycle water intake by partitioning precipitation into evapotranspiration and streamflow. Streamflow generation is experiencing changes globally due to climate- and human-induced changes currently taking place in catchments. However, the direct attribution of streamflow changes to specific catchment modification processes is challenging because catchment functioning results from multiple interactions among distinct drivers (i.e., climate, soils, topography and vegetation). These drivers have coevolved until ecohydrological equilibrium is achieved between the water and energy fluxes. Therefore, the coevolution of catchment drivers and their spatial heterogeneity makes their functioning and response to changes unique and poses a challenge to expanding our ecohydrological knowledge. Addressing these problems is crucial to enabling sustainable water resource management and water supply for society and ecosystems. This thesis explores an extensive dataset of catchments situated along a climatic gradient in eastern Australia to understand the spatial and temporal variation

  • Statement of Management Intent Lansdowne Nature Reserve
    Statement of Management Intent Lansdowne Nature Reserve 1. Introduction This statement outlines the main values, issues, management directions and priorities of the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) for managing Lansdowne Nature Reserve. This statement, together with relevant NPWS policies, will guide the management of the reserve until a plan of management has been prepared in accordance with the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NPW Act). The NPWS Managing Parks Prior to Plan of Management Policy states that parks and reserves without a plan of management are to be managed in a manner consistent with the intent of the NPW Act and the ‘precautionary principle’ (see Principle 15). 2. Management principles Nature reserves are reserved under the NPW Act to protect and conserve areas containing outstanding, unique or representative ecosystems, species, communities or natural phenomena. Under the NPW Act (section 30J), nature reserves are managed to: • conserve biodiversity, maintain ecosystem functions, and protect geological and geomorphological features and natural phenomena • conserve places, objects, features and landscapes of cultural value • promote public appreciation, enjoyment and understanding of the reserve’s natural and cultural values • provide for appropriate research and monitoring. The primary purpose of nature reserves is to conserve nature. Nature reserves differ from national parks in that they do not have the provision of visitor use as a management purpose or principle. 3. Context Reservation details: Lansdowne Nature Reserve was reserved on 7 March 2008. Size: 14 hectares. Lansdowne Nature Reserve (the reserve) is located approximately 20 kilometres north of Taree. The reserve lies within the NSW North Coast Bioregion and within the administrative areas of Greater Taree City Council, Hunter Local Land Services and Purfleet/Taree Local Aboriginal Land Council.
