Box 5026 Old Toongabbie NSW 2146 [email protected] 12 August 2014 Committee Secretary Senate Standing Committees on Environment and Communications, PO Box 6100, Parliament House, Canberra ACT 2600 [email protected] Submission: INQUIRY INTO ENVIRONMENTAL BIOSECURITY Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to the Environmental Biosecurity Inquiry. Introduction Australian Plants Society – New South Wales Ltd has fostered and promoted the appreciation, study and participation in growing and propagating Australian native plants since 1958. There are over 1640 members as well as 800 subscribers, 41 of whom are overseas institutions of learning. Environmental biosecurity has not received the attention enjoyed by agriculture biosecurity, yet the cost of dealing with weeds and other environmental pests becomes higher the longer they are allowed to spread, until they can no longer be eradicated. Environmental pests negatively affect our unique flora and fauna, environmental amenity and integrity, and recreation and tourism. The comprehensive report in 2007 titled ‘The Australian Weeds Strategy – A national strategy for weed management in Australia’, produced by the Australian Weeds Committee for The Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council, is an excellent report, and we strongly endorse the 3 goals set out in the report, as follows: Goal 1- Prevent new weed problems Goal 2 - Reduce the impact of existing priority weed problems Goal 3 - Enhance Australia’s capacity and commitment to solve weed problems 1 The Australian Weeds Strategy makes the following point: “Weeds are among the most significant and costly environmental threats in Australia. Of the 2700 species of introduced plants now established [in 2007], 429 have been declared noxious or are under some form of legislative control in Australia.

Our national parks, harbour, beaches, coastal walks, waterfront promenades, rivers, playgrounds and reserves are integral to the character and life of the city. In this report the hydrological, recreational and ecological fragments of the city are mapped and then pulled together into a proposition for a cohesive green infrastructure network for greater Sydney. This report builds on investigations undertaken by the Office of the Government Architect for the Department of Planning and Environment in the development of District Plans. It interrogates the vision and objectives of the Sydney Green Grid and uses a combination of GIS data mapping and consultation to develop an overview of the green infrastructure needs and character of each district.

  • Excavation of Buildings in the Early Township of Parramatta
    AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 5,1987 The Excavation of Buildings in the Early Township of Parramatta, New South Wales, 1790-1820s EDWARD HIGGINBOTHAM This paper describes the excavation of a convict hut, erected in 1790 in Parramatta, together with an adjoining contemporary out-building or enclosure. It discusses the evidence for repair, and secondary occupation by free persons, one of whom is tentatively identified. The site produced the first recognised examples of locally manufactured earthenware. The historical and archaeological evidence for pottery manufacture in New South Wales between 1790 and 1830 is contained in an appendix. INTRODUCTION Before any archaeological excavation could take place, it was necessary to research the development of the township In September 1788 the wheat crop failed at Sydney Cove from historical documentation, then to establish whether any and also at Norfolk Island, partly because the seed had not items merited further investigation, and finally to ascertain been properly stored during the voyage of the First Fleet. As whether any archaeological remains survived later soon as this was known the Sirius was sent to the Cape of development. Good Hope for both flour and seed grain.' Also in November Preliminary historical research indicated that the area 1788 an agricultural settlement was established at Rose Hill available for archaeological investigation was initially (Parramatta).2 The intention was to clear sufficient land in occupied by a number of huts for convict accommodation, advance of the ship's return, so that the grain could be and subsequently by residential development.8 This paper is immediately sown. The early settlement at Rose Hill was an therefore mainly concerned with the development of convict attempt to save the penal colony from starvation, and and then domestic occupation in Parramatta.

  • 5. Parramatta
    5. PARRAMATTA 5.1 Introduction Parramatta Local Government Area occupies an area of 60 square kilometres, straddling the upper reaches of the Parramatta River, in eastern parts of the western Sydney region. There is a marked difference in landscape type between those areas to the north and south of the Parramatta River. To the south and west, undulating Wianamatta shales of the Fairfield Basin are broken by low-lying fingers of Quaternary alluvium along the major creek lines such as Prospect Creek, Duck River, the upper parts of Toongabbie Creek and their tributaries. A small sandstone outcrop along an upper section of Duck River has little impact on topography, but is reflected in the disjunct occurrence of sandstone species. To the north of the river the Hornsby Plateau-Cumberland Plain interface is marked by steep rises. Small remnants of Wianamatta shales occur on ridge-tops and deep valleys are incised into Hawkesbury sandstone along creeks draining from the plateau. Soil landscapes reflect this variation in geology across the LGA. To the south and west the dominant soil landscape on the shales is Blacktown, with Birrong on the alluvium in drainage lines along the creeks. In the north-east beyond the still undulating shale and Blacktown soil landscape close to the river, the edge of the Hornsby Plateau produces a complex mosaic of soil landscapes including the shale-based Glenorie on the ridges, sandstone-based Gymea and Hawkesbury on the slopes and in the valleys, and patches of Lucas Heights associated with outcropping Mittagong Formation lying between Wianamatta shale and Hawkesbury Sandstone.

  • Cultural Identities in Post Suburbia Marla Guppy Cultural Planner
    Cultural Identities in Post Suburbia Marla Guppy Cultural Planner The production of cultural identity in western Sydney during the 1980s and 1990s is the subject of this paper - a time when the region began to generate cultural products that corresponded to critical periods of suburban development. Such cultural production contested the relationship of the outer suburbs to the city centre. In doing so western Sydney began a process of redefinition, from the ubiquitous ‘other’, a place not considered cultural by inner Sydney, to a region with new and distinctive cultural possibilities. The first part of the paper looks at emerging processes of cultural description in particular the various ways suburbia was re-enacted in the eighties and nineties. The description of public and private territories and landscapes of aspiration and insurgency are considered. The development and expression of new civic identities are discussed in the second part of the paper, in particular the rise of commercial cultural identities, new patterns of diversity, and the newly configured spatial arrangement of insurgency. The paper concludes with a questioning of the notion of place-based identity, looking at the landscapes beyond suburban narratives and contemporary cultural production in western Sydney. Processes of cultural description - identifying, mapping and renaming During the 1980s the new suburbs of outer Western Sydney began a highly place-specific process of cultural production. Pre-dating the contemporary practice of ‘branding’ new residential areas, this occurred in an environment where a commercially assisted production of cultural identity was largely absent. Two historical factors contextualised this new cultural output: the growth of new suburban areas in the preceding decade and the development of cultural policy designed specifically to enable cultural production in new, low income suburbs.
