INTRODUCTION Gunnedah Shire, in the Northern Inland Region of NSW is a prosperous agricultural area with extensive coal and gas resources. Agriculture has traditionally been the primary economic driver, underpinning other sectors of the community. The strong global demand for coal and gas has resulted in the ‘ramping’ up of the coal and gas sectors, with the Gunnedah Basin1 (which incorporates Liverpool Plains, Gunnedah and Narrabri Shires), identified as the ‘new coal frontier’. Over the next decade there is likely to be further growth in the coal mining sector, with coal mining being a dominant industry within Gunnedah Shire and surrounding region The coal mining sector is competing with agriculture and other sectors for labour, resources and access to infrastructure. The Shire’s dependence on agriculture and mining exposes it to ‘boom and bust’ cycles in both sector, with the local economy intrinsically linked with performance of these sectors globally. Building a more diversified, sustainable and resilient economy is a priority for Gunnedah Shire Council. The preparation of an Economic Development Strategy is one of the actions being taken by Council as part of the foundation for stimulating and driving economic growth. 1.1 The Gunnedah Shire Economic Development Strategy Purpose Defining Economic The Gunnedah Economic Development Strategy provides the Development framework and directions for economic development within Gunnedah Shire, with the focus being on actions that can be Economic development achieved over the next 5 years. In particular the Strategy addresses: is the process of improving the economic wellbeing of The current level of economic development within the Shire the community, through and the factors that have and are continuing to influence development. efforts focused on strengthening local The pressures and opportunities for Gunnedah businesses businesses, attracting arising from developments at both the Shire and regional level. investment and Opportunities for Gunnedah Shire to support, capitalise on and creating jobs. benefit from new and emerging industries.

Projects within the Shire that Gunnedah Shire Council can focus on to stimulate growth. 1 Gunnedah Basin refers to the underlying geology of the area, with the Gunnedah Basin being a sedimentary basin that has extensive coal and coal seam gas resources. A map of the Gunnedah Basin in provided in Section 15.1. 2 Structure The Economic Development Strategy is presented in two volumes: Volume 1: Economic Profile Volume 2: Strategies and Actions Volume 1: Economic Profile provides an assessment of: Gunnedah Shire ‐ its role and position in the Northern Inland Region and its competitive advantages and disadvantages. Demographic and social characteristics of the Gunnedah Shire community. Economic indicators. Main economic sectors and activities within the Shire – agriculture, extractive industries, manufacturing, retailing, tourism, health and social services, education and training and public administration. Infrastructure and services available to support economic development – transport, utilities and business support services. The Economic Profile identifies a range of opportunities to grow and diversify the economic base of the Shire well as the challenges which need to be addressed to encourage and facilitate growth. The analysis provided in the Economic Profile provides the rationale for the directions, strategies and action provided in Volume 2. Volume 2: Strategies and Actions articulates the objectives and directions for economic development within Gunnedah Shire and provides the strategies and actions to achieve sustainable growth. The Economic Development Strategy is linked to other Plans and Strategies that have been adopted by Gunnedah Shire Council as part of its integrated planning approach. The Economic Development Strategy is the starting point for encouraging economic growth within Gunnedah Shire. It will however take time, resources and commitment to implement the strategies and actions incorporated in this Strategy. To be effective, the Strategy must be a living document that is constantly evolving. The recommended actions need to be implemented and the results evaluated. Periodically the Strategy will need to be revised, building on what has been achieved, so that Gunnedah Shire can continue to move forward. Planning Process In preparing the Economic Development Strategy input was sought from Government Agencies, industry associations, local businesses and service providers, as well as the broader community. The planning process included: Audit of the businesses within Gunnedah Shire. Survey of businesses. Community workshops in Gunnedah, Mullaley, Curlewis, Tambar Springs, Breeza and Kelvin. Workshop with representatives from the Gunnedah retail and commercial sectors. Planning Charette, attended by a range of business and community leaders. Interviews with stakeholders including a range of business operators, business and industry associations, Government Agencies and service providers. 3 2. PLANNING CONTEXT The Gunnedah Shire Economic Development Strategy is being prepared within the framework set by the NSW State Government through NSW 2021 ‐ A Plan to Make NSW Number One and the resultant planning and development strategies that have been adopted for the Northern Inland Region, as well as with the directions and strategic objectives of the Gunnedah Shire Community Strategic Plan. 2.1 Regional Planning Framework New England – North West Regional Action Plan An integrated planning approach has been developed for the Region with this articulated through the New England ‐ North West Regional Action Plan (2012).

  • Second Interim Report: Food Production in Australia

    Second Interim Report: Food Production in Australia

    Chapter 2 Issues 2.1 This chapter discusses a number of concerns raised in relation to proposed coal and gas exploration and mining/drilling on the Liverpool Plains area of NSW, in particular by BHP Billiton Ltd (BHP), Shenhua Watermark Coal Pty Ltd (Shenhua) and Santos Ltd (Santos). Particular concerns were raised at the potential for these developments to adversely impact on agricultural activities in the area. Background 2.2 The Liverpool Plains covers an area of 12 000 square kilometres located in the north-west of New South Wales some 400 kilometres from Sydney. It is bounded by the Great Dividing Range to the east, the Liverpool Range to the south and the Warrumbungles to the west. The area is a sedimentary flood plain that has been laid down over several million years to provide a very rich, fertile farming area.1 Importance of the Liverpool Plains to food production 2.3 The area's fertile black soils have a high water holding capacity with reliable summer and winter rainfall. The crops in the area consistently produce 40 per cent above the national average. The area grows a diverse range of crops such as wheat, sorghum, oats, soybeans, barley, corn, sunflowers and cotton. It also produces chickpeas, mungbeans, canola, olives, turkeys, chickens, pigs, lambs and wool. In addition it has a significant beef industry. The area is unique in that it produces two crops per year, unlike the majority of farming areas. The Liverpool Plains contributes an estimated $332 million to GDP annually.2 2.4 The area produces 28 per cent of the state's sorghum, 33 per cent of sunflowers and 16 per cent of the state's maize.

The group was formed in 2007 to raise awareness of the real effects of coal and coal seam gas mining on the people, the communities, the land, the air, the workers and surrounding developments, and most importantly OUR WATER – both riverine and underground. We raise to light the facts and let the people decide. We aim to reinvigorate democracy and keep Governments accountable. We want to expose the raw link between the weakening of rights to freehold land and royalties paid to the government.

    Gwdir Shire Tourism Plan 2006 - 2011 1

    GWDIR SHIRE TOURISM PLAN 2006 - 2011 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Gwydir Shire is located on the western slopes and plains in north-western NSW. The Shire covers an area of 9122 square kilometres and lies between the New England Tablelands in the east and Moree - Narrabri to the west, and extends from the Bruxner Highway close to the Queensland border south to the Nandewar Range. The Shire has a population of 5,790 people. Warialda (population 1,750) and Bingara (pop 1,390) are the main towns within the Shire. These towns are located approximately 40km apart, with Bingara servicing the southern areas of the Shire, and Warialda the northern areas. There are also six villages, Warialda Rail (pop 100), Crooble (pop 40), Gravesend (pop 205), Upper Horton (pop<150), Croppa Creek (pop 120), Coolatai (pop 130) and North Star (pop 200). With the exception of Warialda Rail, the villages are relatively remote from the two main towns. The Shire draws its name from the Gwydir River which drains most of the southern and central areas of the Shire, with Bingara located on the Gwydir River, and Warialda on Reedy Creek, one of the larger head-water tributaries of the Gwydir. Bingara is located on the Fossickers Way, a tourist route that extends from Nundle near Tamworth north to Warialda and then east along the Gwydir Highway to Glen Innes via Inverell. The Fossickers Way between Tamworth and Warialda is located approximately mid-way between two major interstate arterial routes, the New England Highway to the east and the Newell Highway to the west, with the Fossickers Way being a viable scenic alternative to these highways.
