Seqwater’s detailed responses to each item would be appreciated by COB 19 October 2012, please. Happy to discuss at any time noting the proposed due date of COB 19 October 2012 From: Colin Nicolson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, 19 October 2012 1:10 PM To: Angus MacDonald Cc: George Passmore; Damian Scholz Subject: FW: Information Request 12 October 2012 Hello Angus Here are our responses to the above information request. QCA Question 1 - Cedar Pocket Stakeholders (Issues Arising (IA) Cedar Pocket 2012) submitted that more details were required regarding Seqwater’s proposed renewals expenditure [outlined in the NSP] on “electricity supply assets” in 2025-26 at $30,000. Please provide more details regarding this proposed expenditure. Seqwater Response to Item 1 The Assets in question are a property pole, meter box (excluding the meters), cabling and a distribution board. The renewal is scheduled based on the Seqwater “standard asset life” of 20 years for this type of equipment. It was installed in 2005 and will be 20 years old when the work is scheduled. The cost estimate is drawn from the estimated replacement costs as set out in Section 5.2.2 and Section 9 of the Irrigation Infrastructure Renewal Projections - 2013/14 to 2046/47 Report on Methodology. The renewal timing, will be reviewed on an ongoing basis so that it is only delivered when condition warrants. The scope and cost estimate will be reviewed prior to commencement of work to ensure the delivery is efficient.

  • Emergency Management of Sunwater's Dam Portfolio in The
    Emergency management of SunWater’s dam portfolio in the 2010-11 Queensland floods Robert Keogh, Rob Ayre, Peter Richardson, Barry Jeppesen, Olga Kakourakis SunWater Limited SunWater owns 23 referable dams and operates a further two dams for other owners. The dams are located across Queensland from Texas and St George in the South to the Atherton Tablelands in the north to Mt Isa in the west. During the period December 2010 to February 2011 there were several significant rainfall events across Queensland. The first occurred in late December 2010, the second in mid January 2011 and third in early February 2011. Generally it was the most significant rainfall event in Queensland since the 1970’s. 22 Emergency Action Plans were activated simultaneously by SunWater. Eleven dams experienced a flood of record during the events. This paper will discuss what has been learnt from these events including the optimisation of management structures for a dam owner with a large portfolio of dams: review of O&M Manuals including the adequacy of backup systems: relationships with the State disaster management framework: the value of rigorous communication protocols: managing fear and a general lack of understanding in the community: and the value of being prepared. Keywords: Emergency Management, Floods, . In addition to the dams SunWater owns, the following 1 Background storages are managed under facility management SunWater and its subsidiary company Burnett Water Pty contracts: Ltd own 231 referable storages consisting of 18 Category 2 Glenlyon Dam – (Category 2 dam) for the Border 2 dams and 5 Category 1 dams under the Water Supply Rivers Commission (Safety and Reliability) Act 2008 and Water Act 2000.

  • Road Networked Artificial Islands and Finger Island Canal Estates on Australia’S Gold Coast
    Absolute Waterfrontage: Road Networked Artificial Islands and Finger Island Canal Estates on Australia’s Gold Coast Philip Hayward Kagoshima University Research Center for the Pacific Islands, University of Technology Sydney, & Southern Cross University, Lismore [email protected] Christian Fleury University of Caen, Normandy [email protected] Abstract: The Gold Coast, an urban conurbation stretching along the Pacific seaboard and adjacent hinterland of south east Queensland, has developed rapidly since the 1950s. Much of its development has involved the modification of existing watercourses so as to produce stable areas of land suitable for medium and high density development. This article addresses one particular facet of this, the development of artificial islands and of estates of ‘finger islands’ (narrow, peninsular areas with direct waterfrontage) and the canalised waterways that facilitate them. The article commences with a discussion of the concepts behind such developments and the nomenclature that has accrued to them, highlighting the contradictions between branding of finger island estates and the actualities of their realisation. This discussion is supported by historical reference to earlier artificial island estates in Florida that provided a model for Australian developers. Case studies of three specific Gold Coast waterfront locations conclude the main body of the article, reflecting on factors related to the stability of their community environments.
