  • Flood Intelligence: What It Is, Why It Matters and How It Is Generated – Lessons from Lockhart and Urana Shire Floods 2010-2012
    Floodplain Management Association National Conference 28-31 May 2013 Tweed Heads NSW FLOOD INTELLIGENCE: WHAT IT IS, WHY IT MATTERS AND HOW IT IS GENERATED – LESSONS FROM LOCKHART AND URANA SHIRE FLOODS 2010-2012 M Morgan1 S Yeo2, M Walsh3 1 NSW State Emergency Service, Wollongong, NSW 2 Independent flood risk management consultant, Sydney, NSW 3 Inland Flood Unit, Office of Environment and Heritage, Sydney, NSW Abstract Flood intelligence seeks to describe flood behaviour and its effects on the community. The NSW State Emergency Service (NSW SES) flood intelligence system includes a flood intelligence database, Local Flood Plans, a reference library and associated spatial data. Reliable intelligence is vital for informed decision-making during flood emergencies to minimise risks to the community. Data collection following flooding is a means both for generating new flood intelligence to improve future emergency response and for informing the floodplain management process. Between 2010 and 2012, many communities in South Western NSW experienced the highest floods in decades, if not on record. This provided an ideal opportunity to collect flood data. A case study from Lockhart and Urana Shires shows the benefits of this exercise both for an improved flood intelligence leading to an improved flood response and for input into Flood Studies and Floodplain Risk Management Studies and Plans. Strengths and weaknesses of the various sources of flood data including community questionnaires are outlined. Introduction Between September 2010 and March 2012, areas in South Western NSW experienced record rainfall, associated with a strong La Niña episode which resulted in extensive and frequent flooding through to May 2012.

  • 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.

  • Modernised High Frequency Communications System – Riverina Node
    Modernised High Frequency Communications System – Riverina node Recommended Citation Richard Tanter, "Modernised High Frequency Communications System – Riverina node", Australian Defence Facilities, November 02, 2013, https://nautilus.org/briefing-books/australian-defen- e-facilities/modernised-high-frequency-communications-system-riverina-node/ Introduction The Department of Defence has a cluster of communications facilities in the region of Wagga Wagga in the NSW Riverina, including the transmitter and receiver and elements of the Riverina node of the Modernised High Frequency Communications System (MHFCS), described by the local council as “home to some of the most advanced communication technology in the world.”[i] The two facilities, constructed in 2000-2001, separated by about 50 kms, are used by a number of different elements of the Australian Defence Force. For the Australian Defence Signals Directorate (ASD - formerly Defence Signals Directorate), the location of the Morundah Receiving Station means it is a key part of its high frequency communications monitoring and interception capacities directed at foreign military and government targets. The transmitter facility is at Lyndoch on the Collingully – Lockhart road, 35.6 kms due west of Wagga Wagga.[ii] The receiver facility is on the northern side of the Morundah – Boree Creek Road 15.7 km southeast of Morundah.[iii] Both the transmitter and receiving stations are operated remotely from the Network Management Facility at HMAS Harman Canberra (and a backup at Russell Offices).[iv] [caption id="attachment_33355" align="aligncenter" width="850"] 1 Figure 1.

  • Supplementary Submission No
    Railway Technical Society of Australasia Page 1 SUPPLEMENTARY SUBMISSION NO. 164 INTRODUCTION The RTSA is concerned about the capability of regional rail within some States – specifically, it believes that rail is not living up to the potential it can offer to producers, consumers and particularly regional communities. Whilst mainline rail has issues related to performance, capacity and investment, regional rail operates on a different scale, in different markets and with its own peculiar operating environment. The nature of the task is significantly different to mainline operations and as such assessment about the viability of rail services and the adequacy of infrastructure need to be made in this context. The RTSA believes there may be merit in looking at segmenting rail service performance into separate classes for mainline, regional lines and branchlines. The RTSA has particular concerns about regional rail services in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia. Although there is strong research in primary production and resource forecasting (including commodity pricing), there appears to be a lack of research of efficiencies in the regional logistic chains, in particular the capabilities and roles that each transport mode should play that brings producers and consumers (and export markets) together. Much of recent rail assessments (of branchlines); review existing traffic and its financial capacity to meet state- based agency operating costs (as well as fees to support cost of capital). This marginalizes wider economic opportunities such as the complementary tasks of each mode for improved efficiencies within the whole logistic chain, the social and environmental performances of particular modes and the spill-over effects that new frameworks for transport can have on regional communities.
