Realignment of the Newell Highway at Grong Grong Submissions Report
Realignment of the Newell Highway at Grong Grong Submissions Report September 2015 THIS PAGE LEFT INTENTIONALLY BLANK Executive summary Roads and Maritime Services proposes to realign (build) a section of the Newell Highway to the west of Grong Grong (the proposal) about 22 kilometres east of Narrandera. Key features of the proposal would include: Bypassing Grong Grong to the west of the town. Building about 2.4 kilometres of new two lane highway (one lane in each direction). Building a cutting around 940 metres long and up to 4.5 metres deep. Building a north and west access between the highway and Grong Grong. The accesses would include intersections with unrestricted turning movements in all directions, protected right turn lanes and deceleration lanes at the highway exit and entry points. Removing around 175 metres of existing road and then replanting between the north access and the new section of highway. Removing about 640 metres of existing road and then replanting between the west access and the new section of highway. Building a one metre wide painted centre median. Changing Angle Road and its connection with the existing highway. Adjusting public utility services, including relocating the Nextgen optic fibre cable. Building temporary ancillary facilities, including a work site compound, stockpile sites, construction water quality basins and haulage roads In accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979, an environmental impact assessment was prepared to assess the potential impacts of the proposal. The environmental impact assessment was documented in a review of environmental factors, which was publicly displayed for 19 days from Monday 27 April 2015 to Friday 15 May 2015. -
Australian Labor Party, New South Wales Branch Annual Conference, 29 – 31 March 1929
CHAPTER 7 Australian Labor Party, New South Wales Branch Annual Conference, 29 – 31 March 1929 Report in The Sydney Morning Herald One can detect that the Lang machine was already in election mode at the 1929 Conference and confident of victory. Almost no business was conducted and the meeting took only three days (allowing delegates to go to the races on Easter Monday!). No sign of disunity was allowed to develop. Part of the rationale given by the Executive was that the two preliminary regional conferences had done their work so well that there was little for the State Conference to do. However, it was almost certainly true that the Rural and Metropolitan Conferences had been stage‐managed as efficiently as the State Conference. The one matter of controversy that surfaced was some dissatis‐ faction with instances of graft in preselection ballots, leading to suggestions that these ballots should be abolished – with all decisions presumably to be made by the Executive. That proposal (originating from the radical left as a veiled criticism of Inner Group meddling) was not taken up, although the Inner Group would not hesitate to interfere, officially or unofficially, in any preselections not already sewn up. ξ 211 LABOR PAINS VOLUME V Executive Report of NSW ALP for 1928-29 (Mitchell Library Manuscripts, 329.3106/3) Australian Labor Party, State of New South Wales, Executive Report Ladies and Gentlemen: The 38th Annual Report and Balance-sheet of the Australian Labor Party, State of New South Wales, is hereby submitted for your consideration.
