  • Coastal Sediment Cells for the Mid-West Coast
    Department of Transport Coastal Sediment Cells for the Mid-West Coast Between the Moore River and Glenfield Beach, Western Australia Report Number: M 2014 07001 Version: 0 Date: September 2014 Recommended citation Stul T, Gozzard JR, Eliot IG and Eliot MJ (2014) Coastal Sediment Cells for the Mid-West Region between the Moore River and Glenfield Beach, Western Australia. Report prepared by Seashore Engineering Pty Ltd and Geological Survey of Western Australia for the Western Australian Department of Transport, Fremantle. The custodian of the digital dataset is the Department of Transport. Photographs used are from WACoast30. The Department of Transport acknowledges Bob Gozzard from Geological Survey of Western Australia for providing the images. Geological Survey of S e a s h o r e E n g i n e e r i n g Western Australia 2 Executive summary The aim of this report is to identify a hierarchy of sediment cells to assist planning, management, engineering, science and governance of the Mid-West coast. Sediment cells are spatially discrete areas of the coast within which marine and terrestrial landforms are likely to be connected through processes of sediment exchange, often described using sediment budgets. They include areas of sediment supply (sources), sediment loss (sinks), and the sediment transport processes linking them (pathways). Sediment transport pathways include both alongshore and cross-shore processes, and therefore cells are best represented in two-dimensions. They are natural management units with a physical basis and commonly cross jurisdictional boundaries. Sediment cells provide a summary of coastal data in a simple format and can be used to: 1.

  • Please Read Before Viewing
    Please Read Before Viewing The following document is the full draft version of the Dongara-Geraldton-Northampton Corridor Alignment Selection Report, written for the purpose of identifying a preferred investigation corridor for further planning activities, including community consultation. The report has not been altered in any way since its provision to the Minister for Transport in September 2020, and no sections of it have been omitted in this presentation. Alignment Selection work is normally assessed through desktop assessments, which provide a reasonable understanding of the constraints, issues and opportunities. The desktop work is used to progress stakeholder discussions to test the validity of shortlisted options, leading to landholder and community input. This community and landholder input is a critical step in the process to fill a number of gaps with regard to constraints/issues and assessment of the options. Only after consultation has been incorporated into the planning process can alignment selection be finalised, allowing for more detailed planning (including site investigations). The report was written on the information available at the time of writing. Main Roads’ current engagement activities have already revealed a number of further constraints and opportunities that require further investigation, which may influence the alignment of the final recommended corridor. Feedback on the report can be directed to: [email protected] HP Records Manager No. Date Published Alignment Selection Report – Dongara

  • Mineral Resources of Western
    MINERAL RESOURCES OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA DEPARTMENT OF MINES PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA 1980 Issued under the authority of the Hon. P. V. Jones, M.L.A. Minister for Mines 89686-1 Since the publication of the last issue of this booklet in 1966 a major expansion of mineral production in Western Australia has been achieved. Deposits of iron, nickel, natural gas, bauxite, heavy mineral sands, uranium and diamond are now being worked or are known to be commercial. Over the period 1966 to 1971, following the initial discovery of nickel sulphide at Kambalda, a speculative boom in base metal exploration developed that could only be likened to the gold rush days around the turn of the century. Although not all of the exploration activity in this period was well directed, many new discoveries were made as a result of the ready availability of risk capital. In the wake of the boom it is mainly the true prospectors that remain-the individual, to whom the still sparsely populated areas of the State hold an irresistible appeal and the chance of rich bonanza, and the established and dedicated mining companies for whom exploration is a necessary and vital part of the minerals industry. 1 am confident that the persistence of these prospectors will be rewarded with yet further discoveries of economic mineral deposits. Western Australia, with an area of over 2.5 million square kilometres, has a wide diversity of rocks representing all geological periods, and vast areas have been incompletely prospected. This booklet presents an up to date account of the minerals that are, or have been, economically exploited in Western Australia.

  • Herpetofauna of the Geraldton Region, Western Australia
    lice. Aust Mu". 198,1,10 (:3): 21:)-2:34 Herpetofauna of the Geraldton Region, Western Australia G.~L Storr*, T.M.S. Hanlont and J.N. Dunlopt Abstract The study area is located on the west coast of Western Australia approximately between latitudes 28° and 300S; it extends for 30-50 km inland to about Ajana, Eradu, Strawberry and Eneabba, and for 50-70 km offshore to the Houtman Abrolhos, The climate ranges from semi-arid in the north to subhumid in the south, most of the rain falling in the cooler half of the year. Much of the land out­ side reserves has been cleared for farming. Brief notes are given on the local distribution, relative abundance and habitat preferences of the 96 species of frogs, turtles, lizards and snakes recorded from the region. Some aspects of regional zoo­ geography are discussed. Introduction The present paper is onc of several dealing with the herpetofauna of the west coast of Western Australia. To the immediate north of the present region L.A. Smith (pers. comm.) has studied the herpetofauna of the Kalbarri National Park, and Ston and Harold (1980) that of the Zuytdorp area; to the immediate south Dell and Chaprnan (1977) listed the amphibians and reptiles of the Cockleshell Gully Reserve; and to the east Burbidge et al. (1978) described the fauna of the Wandana Nature Reserve near Yuna. Published information on the herpetofauna of the present region hitherto covered only the Houtman Abrolhos (Alexander 1922, Green 1972, O'Loughlin 1965, 1966 and 1969, and Storr 1960 and 19(5) and the islands further south (Ford 19(3).

  • Discussion Paper
    DEPARTMENT OF FISHERIES DISCUSSION PAPER THE TRANSLOCATION OF BROWN TROUT (Salmo trutta) AND RAINBOW TROUT (Oncorhynchus mykiss) INTO AND WITHIN WESTERN AUSTRALIA June 2002 FISHERIES MANAGEMENT PAPER No. 156 Fisheries Management Paper No 156 OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT This discussion paper has been prepared to assist in the assessment of the possible impact of the translocation of brown trout (Salmo trutta) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), into and within Western Australia, for the purposes of recreational stock enhancement in public waters, non-commercial aquaculture on private properties and commercial aquaculture. In assessing the translocation of any aquatic species, economic and social benefits must be balanced with biological and environmental risks. Comments about this discussion paper are sought from all stakeholders, including industry members, existing and potential trout farmers, relevant community interest groups, government agencies and interested members of the public. In particular, the Department of Fisheries would appreciate your suggestions for the following: • River catchments and drainage basins with high conservation value where trout stocking and aquaculture should be managed or prohibited, identifying the benefits of additional management or prohibitions. • River catchments and drainage basins where trout stocking and aquaculture should be permitted and encouraged, and may already be taking place. This discussion paper and your comments will be used to develop a draft policy on the translocation of brown
