It is of a traditional design consisting of a cylindrical tower and capital, similar to many late nineteenth century Victorian lighthouses, such as the earlier Point Hicks Lighthouse. It is built of reinforced Print/export concrete and surmounted by a Chance Brothers lantern. The original oil lamp of the light was first replaced Create a book Download as PDF with an acetylene light and later an electric light. Surrounding its base is the octagonal, two­storey, brick signal Printable version station and observation room. Halfway up the tower is a cantilevered platform supporting red and green navigation lights.[2] Languages Edit links Location Entrance to Port Phillip Bay, History [edit] Australia The first navigation aid at Point Lonsdale was a signal station erected in 1852. In 1856 a red pillar beacon was Coordinates 38°17′31″S 144°36′50″E built. In 1863 the original Queenscliff Low Light, a prefabricated wooden structure, was re­erected at Point Year first lit 20 March 1902 Lonsdale and painted with distinctive black and red bands. It used a temporary light until a permanent light was Automated 1999 lit in 1867. It was replaced by the current concrete tower in 1902, with the wooden tower dismantled and cut up Construction round concrete tower on [1][3] for firewood in 1912. octagonal signal station and Responsibility for the light passed in 1915 from the state of Victoria to Commonwealth control. It was handed observation room back in 1934 with the lighthouse classified as a “Harbour Entrance Light” rather than a "Coastal Highway Tower shape cylindrical Light". The signal station and observation room were added to the base of the tower in 1950. Although the Markings / painted white pattern light was automated in 1999, the signal station continues to be staffed 24 hours a day and controls the Height 21.3 m movements of commercial shipping within designated areas both outside and inside Port Phillip Heads, making it possibly the last manned lighthouse in Australia.[1][3] Focal height 36.6 m Range 22 km (white light), 19 km (red light) Heritage values [edit] Characteristic Horizontal beam flashing twice The Point Lonsdale Lighthouse precinct contains not only the every 15 seconds lighthouse itself, but other buildings associated with lighthouse Admiralty K2194 operations and navigation, as well as nearby military defence number structures built during the First and Second World Wars. The whole NGA number 7460 ARLHS AUS­222 precinct is considered to be of architectural, historical and Page 1 / 2 number archaeological significance to the State of Victoria, and has been listed by Heritage Victoria with the Victorian Heritage Database number H1517.[2] View from the north­east It is of historical significance because of its association with the maritime and defence history of the state. The lighthouse structures in the precinct show the importance of navigational aids at a time when shipping was vitally important in maintaining trade between Victorian ports and the rest of the world. The lighthouse was the first guiding light to the entrance of Port Phillip visible from the sea. The defence structures reflect the importance of the defence of Port Phillip and its major cities of Melbourne and Geelong during the two World Wars.[2] The lighthouse precinct buildings, including a foghorn shed built in 1884 and an explosives shed (later used as a rocket shed) built in 1891, are of architectural significance. The lighthouse is a typical and aesthetically pleasing example of an early 20th­century lighthouse design. The foghorn shed is the only one known from a Victorian lighthouse, and the two vertical boilers which power the steam operated foghorns are rare in their original setting.[2] The precinct is of archaeological significance for its potential to reveal artefactual remains pertaining to the use of the site as a lightstation and signal station.[2] The lighthouse today [edit] The lighthouse’s exterior was restored in 1997 and, in 2002, Heritage Victoria and the Victorian Channels Authority cooperated to restore the interior. Celebrations of the structure's centenary were held on 23 March 2002. It contains a restored foghorn which is operated in foggy weather, giving a double blast every 30 seconds. There is public access to the area around the tower. Organised tours of the tower are conducted on Sundays by the Queenscliffe Maritime Museum.[1][4][5] The marine waters around the lighthouse are protected within the Port Phillip Heads Marine National Park.

Authorised by the State Government of Victoria, 50 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne. Printed on sustainable paper by Impact Digital, Unit 3-4, 306 Albert St, Brunswick 3056 March 2011 (1101024) Foreword The provision of safe drinking water to Victoria’s urban and rural communities is essential for maintaining public health and wellbeing. In Victoria, drinking water quality is protected by legislation that recognises drinking water’s importance to the state’s ongoing social and economic wellbeing. The regulatory framework for Victoria’s drinking water is detailed in the Safe Drinking Water Act 2003 and the Safe Drinking Water Regulations 2005. The Act and Regulations provide a comprehensive framework based on a catchment-to-tap approach that actively safeguards the quality of drinking water throughout Victoria. The main objectives of this regulatory framework are to ensure that: • where water is supplied as drinking water, it is safe to drink • any water not intended to be drinking water cannot be mistaken for drinking water • water quality information is disclosed to consumers and open to public accountability.

    1 the Joint Select Committee on Future Gaming Marke

    THE JOINT SELECT COMMITTEE ON FUTURE GAMING MARKETS MET IN COMMITTEE ROOM 2, PARLIAMENT HOUSE, HOBART ON FRIDAY, 18 AUGUST 2017 Ms LEANNE MINSHULL, DIRECTOR, THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE TASMANIA WAS CALLED VIA TELECONFERENCE AND WAS EXAMINED. CHAIR (Mr Gaffney) - Thank you, Leanne, for agreeing to discuss your paper and present to the committee. Ms MINSHULL - Thanks for the opportunity. CHAIR - We have received a copy of your report and have tabled that as part of our evidence. That is why it is important for us to speak to you, because then it can be used to help us with our report. Leanne, please give an introduction and overview of the report and how it came about. After that, members might like to ask questions about specifics within the report. Ms MINSHULL - Okay, great. I am sitting in an airport so occasionally there will get announcements in the background, but I will just plough on. The Australia Institute Tasmania is a national institute that has been in operation since about 1994. They have a long history in looking at economic policy issues, in particular jobs, unemployment and what direct and indirect jobs can be attributed to specific industries. We looked at the gaming industry, in particular, in Tasmania for two reasons. One is because we recently started a branch there. We've been open in Tasmania for about six months. It is obviously a contested issue in the community. As part of our national work we look at Australian Bureau of Statistics statistics every time the quarterly statistics come out. We noticed a few anomalies between what was being reported as direct and indirect employment in Tasmania in the gambling industry and what we would normally see using some of the ABS data.

  • Deal Island an Historical Overview

    Deal Island an Historical Overview

    Introduction. In June 1840 the Port Officer of Hobart Captain W. Moriarty wrote to the Governor of Van Diemen’s Land, Sir John Franklin suggesting that lighthouses should be erected in Bass Strait. On February 3rd. 1841 Sir John Franklin wrote to Sir George Gipps, Governor of New South Wales seeking his co-operation. Government House, Van Diemen’s Land. 3rd. February 1841 My Dear Sir George. ………………….This matter has occupied much of my attention since my arrival in the Colony, and recent ocurances in Bass Strait have given increased importance to the subject, within the four years of my residence here, two large barques have been entirely wrecked there, a third stranded a brig lost with all her crew, besides two or three colonial schooners, whose passengers and crew shared the same fate, not to mention the recent loss of the Clonmell steamer, the prevalence of strong winds, the uncertainty of either the set or force of the currents, the number of small rocks, islets and shoals, which though they appear on the chart, have but been imperfectly surveyed, combine to render Bass Strait under any circumstances an anxious passage for seamen to enter. The Legislative Council, Votes and Proceedings between 1841 – 42 had much correspondence on the viability of erecting lighthouses in Bass Strait including Deal Island. In 1846 construction of the lightstation began on Deal Island with the lighthouse completed in February 1848. The first keeper William Baudinet, his wife and seven children arriving on the island in March 1848. From 1816 to 1961 about 18 recorded shipwrecks have occurred in the vicinity of Deal Island, with the Bulli (1877) and the Karitane (1921) the most well known of these shipwrecks.
