Hydro 4 Water Storage
TERM OF REFERENCE 3: STATE-WIDE WATER STORAGE MANAGEMENT The causes of the floods which were active in Tasmania over the period 4-7 June 2016 including cloud-seeding, State-wide water storage management and debris management. 1 CONTEXT 1.1 Cause of the Floods (a) It is clear that the flooding that affected northern Tasmania (including the Mersey, Forth, Ouse and South Esk rivers) during the relevant period was directly caused by “a persistent and very moist north-easterly airstream” which resulted in “daily [rainfall] totals [that were] unprecedented for any month across several locations in the northern half of Tasmania”, in some cases in excess of 200mm.1 (b) This paper addresses Hydro Tasmania’s water storage management prior to and during the floods. 1.2 Overview (a) In 2014, Tasmania celebrated 100 years of hydro industrialisation and the role it played in the development of Tasmania. Hydro Tasmania believes that understanding the design and purpose of the hydropower infrastructure that was developed to bring electricity and investment to the state is an important starting point to provide context for our submission. The Tasmanian hydropower system design and operation is highly complex and is generally not well understood in the community. We understand that key stakeholder groups are seeking to better understand the role that hydropower operations may have in controlling or contributing to flood events in Tasmania. (b) The hydropower infrastructure in Tasmania was designed and installed for the primary purpose of generating hydro-electricity. Flood mitigation was not a primary objective in the design of Hydro Tasmania’s dams when the schemes were developed, and any flood mitigation benefit is a by-product of their hydro- generation operation. -

Lake Margaret Feasibility Study Volume 1: Main Report
LAKE MARGARET FEASIBILITY STUDY VOLUME 1: MAIN REPORT Prepared by: HYDRO ELECTRIC CORPORATION ARBN 072 377 158 ABN 48 072 377 158 4 Elizabeth Street, Hobart Tasmania, Australia Lake Margaret Feasibility Study This page left intentionally blank Hydro Tasmania Page ii Lake Margaret Feasibility Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction and background The Lake Margaret Power Scheme, which began producing electricity in 1914, is one of the oldest hydropower schemes in Australia and is an area of outstanding heritage significance. It is an example of the pioneering period of hydro-electric development in Australia. Due principally to its private ownership and continuous operation for most of its life, the site has retained nearly all of its early infrastructure and equipment. The scheme consists of the following major assets: • Lake Margaret Dam (post tensioned concrete gravity dam). • King Billy pine woodstave pipeline, transporting water from the dam to the penstock. • Penstock. • Upper power station. • Lower power station, (decommissioned in 1994). • Lake Margaret Village, including seven cottages and a community hall. The site has been provisionally listed on the Tasmanian Heritage Register (THR) and is currently being assessed for National Heritage Listing. The provisional listing on the THR holds the same legislative requirement as a full listing, which means any redevelopment would require approval from the Tasmanian Heritage Council. Hydro Tasmania took over ownership of the scheme in 1985 from the Mt Lyell Mining and Railway Company and, until its closure in June 2006, the scheme produced approximately 0.5% of Tasmania’s total electricity output. The aging power station was closed on 30 June 2006, primarily due to safety concerns regarding the woodstave hilltop pipeline, which had been assessed as being at end of life and at risk of failure. -

DRAFT Tasmanian Inland Recreational Fishery Management Plan 2018-28
DRAFT Tasmanian Inland Recreational Fishery Management Plan 2018-28 DRAFT Tasmanian Inland Recreational Fishery Management Plan 2018-28 Minister’s message It is my pleasure to release the Draft Tasmanian Inland Recreational Fishery Management Plan 2018-28 as the guiding document for the Inland Fisheries Service in managing this valuable resource on behalf of all Tasmanians for the next 10 years. The plan creates opportunities for anglers, improves access, ensures sustainability and encourages participation. Tasmania’s tradition with trout fishing spans over 150 years. It is enjoyed by local and visiting anglers in the beautiful surrounds of our State. Recreational fishing is a pastime and an industry; it supports regional economies providing jobs in associated businesses and tourism enterprises. A sustainable trout fishery ensures ongoing benefits to anglers and the community as a whole. To achieve sustainable fisheries we need careful management of our trout stocks, the natural values that support them and measures to protect them from diseases and pest fish. This plan simplifies regulations where possible by grouping fisheries whilst maintaining trout stocks for the future. Engagement and agreements with land owners and water managers will increase access and opportunities for anglers. The Tasmanian fishery caters for anglers of all skill levels and fishing interests. This plan helps build a fishery that provides for the diversity of anglers and the reasons they choose to fish.
