  • New England Highway Bypass of Singleton 119 Review of Environmental Factors
    Traffic and transport 6.5.1 Existing environment Existing road network The New England Highway is a key strategic road forming part of the Sydney to Brisbane corridor of the National Land Transport Network. It is a major freight and commuter route between Newcastle and the Upper Hunter with about 15 per cent of traffic movements being heavy vehicles. The New England Highway passes through Singleton providing links to Muswellbrook to the north and Maitland to the south. Between 18,000 and 28,000 vehicles per day (two-way) travel on the highway through Singleton. With planned future developments in Singleton and the continual growth in regional freight movements, the resulting traffic growth is likely to impact on the functionality of the New England Highway in this area. Figure 6-8: Existing road network for the Singleton area New England Highway bypass of Singleton 119 Review of Environmental Factors Key roads within and around the proposal area are illustrated in Figure 6-8, and include: • The New England Highway is a state road and classified as a highway. It is a major north-south route passing through Singleton. As the road passes through Singleton, it is generally one lane in each direction, with an on-street parking lane provided on both sides. It has a posted speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour to 60 kilometres per hour within the proposal area • Gresford Road is a regional road and classified as a main road. It is an east-west route providing access to rural areas east of Singleton. The undivided road is one lane in each direction with a posted speed limit of 60 kilometres per hour • Putty Road is a regional road and classified as a main road.

Executive Summary The United mine and Wambo mine are neighbouring existing coal mining operations situated approximately 16 kilometres (km) west of Singleton in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales (NSW). The two mines have formed a Joint Venture and propose to develop the United Wambo Open Cut Coal Mine Project (the Project) that combines the existing open cut operations at Wambo with a proposed new open cut coal mine at United. The Project includes open cut mining operations in two areas for a period of approximately 23 years; the proposed United Open Cut and modified operations in the approved Wambo Open Cut. The Project is anticipated to deliver up to 10 million tonnes per annum of run-of-mine coal production from the combined open cut operations. The existing mining operations currently store and use a range of hazardous materials, including explosives.

All roads may lead to Rome, but please do not forget that on Saturday, October 17, when the good people of Bulga invite you to visit their own part of our national thor- oughfare system (Inlet Road, to be exact) for not one, but two momentous walks down memory lane. To begin with, it’s about 200 years since that remarkable figure of colonial exploration, John Howe, capped his opening of the Patrick Plains with the first (white) sighting of the idyllic paradise our First Peoples knew as Bulga. And never let us forget that, without the unique bushcraft and calm perseverance of the native Australians John Howe recruited for his squad, our beautiful patch may have waited much longer to become recognised on the map of pre-Federation New South Wales. The second stanza on the playlist for October is meant to be an equally whole- hearted tribute to our forebears—but perhaps a little more restrained and intro- spective than our Bulga commemoration: we’re remembering the dedication of that consecrated gateway to the fallen, the War Memorial Gates at the Recreation Ground.

  • IFMR November 2011 Newsletter
    INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP OF MOTORCYCLING ROTARIANS November 2011 Edition President’s Report During the last week in October I and four Ballarat East Rotacyclists, Alan, Jim, Franz, and Noel, set off for the Gloucester AGM planning to spend two nights on the road, two nights of Gloucester, and two nights on the return journey. Passing through Daylesford we were joined by Bruce Bavin and Tony Moyle who, with some minor deviations, shared our journey to Gloucester. I used the very informative Australia Motorcycle Atlas to plan our trip, stopping at Wagga and Windsor, and including several of the famous NSW motorcycling roads: Bells Line of Road: very steep, very winding, very foggy, then Putty Road: 160 km of magic road in magic scenery, then Bucketts Way to Gloucester. But one of our party suggested a shortcut from the Putty Road to Bucketts Way - very winding and the roughest bitumen I have ever experienced. But the scenery was extraordinary and the journey was worth the discomfort and we arrived in Gloucester late afternoon on Friday. Early into Bells Line of Road a sidecar mount broke and Tony and I very gingerly returned down the escarpment to Lithgow where I was able to have it welded. Tony and I then had an uncomfortable 80 km journey to Windsor in very damp thick fog. On Friday evening some 40 or so Members and guests enjoyed a great get-together and barbecue at the home of Brian and Heather Beesley, and on Saturday the majority of riders went on a mystery journey which included a fabulous fish lunch at Forster.
