    1979/3. Groundwater, mineral resources and land stability in the Tasman Peninsula. W.C. Cromer, R.C. Donaldson P. C. Stevenson V.N. Threader Abstract Groundwater prospects, mineral deposits and land stability are discussed to provide information for a planning study of the Tasman Peninsula. INTRODUCTION This report was written at the request of the Commissioner for Town and Country Planning, and is the result of a map compilation, a search of records and field work during the period 20 - 24 November 1978. 1. Groundwater from fractured rocks P.C. Stevenson The amoun~ of water that may be obtained from the hard rocks of the Peninsula by boreholes is controlled by the composition and conditions of weathering and fracture. The amount of direct information is limited because only eight bore­ holes have been recorded, all at Koonya, Premaydena or Nubeena, but exper­ ience in other parts of the State enable some general comments to be made. The geology of the Peninsula is shown in Figure 1. The Jurassic dolerite, which forms many of the most rugged and remote parts of the Peninsula, has not been drilled for water but is regarded throughout Tasmania as an extremely poor prospect; very hard to drill, almost always dry and where water exists it is hard and saline. It cannot be recommended. The Permian mudstone and fine-grained sandstone have not been drilled in the Peninsula, but elsewhere are reliable producers of good quality groundwater. yields of 20 to 150 l/min and qualities of 200 - 600 mg/l of total dissolved solids are usual.

  • ENACT – Submission to Legislative Council Inquiry Into Built Heritage Tourism in Tasmania – February 2015
    ENACT – submission to Legislative Council Inquiry into Built Heritage Tourism in Tasmania – February 2015 To the Committee Secretary: The following submission is respectfully put forward for consideration by the sub–committee. Addressing the terms of reference of your enquiry: Our built heritage in Tasmania is representative of the diverse nature of our growth from early settler days to some of the iconic buildings of today. Nowhere else in Australia is this diversity so abundant and compacted into such a small geographical area with matching natural beauty. It is unique to Tasmania and we are squandering much of that heritage and the opportunity that goes with it. This seems to be, in part, due the inability for all stakeholders to talk to each other and work together for the common good and realistic outcomes. Your reference points – government, tourism organisations, heritage organisations, other controlling bodies (eg – PWS) each do their own bits of research and work and prepare extensive reports that are printed, read, possibly mentioned in the media and are promptly filed for some future reference. Unless someone in an influential position picks up an idea or project, little happens. Then there are anti-everything groups and NIMBYs that seem to be able to stop any idea, good or bad, in its tracks. No one body seems to be responsible for collating the various reports and agreements (and disagreements) that occur over time. Such a body could facilitate the prioritisation of those projects have support from multiple agencies and stakeholders and bring those parties together to make them happen. A case in point is our own town of Eaglehawk Neck.
