    Derwent Estuary Program Environmental Management Plan February 2009

    Engineering procedures for Southern Tasmania Engineering procedures foprocedures for Southern Tasmania Engineering procedures for Southern Tasmania Derwent Estuary Program Environmental Management Plan February 2009 Working together, making a difference The Derwent Estuary Program (DEP) is a regional partnership between local governments, the Tasmanian state government, commercial and industrial enterprises, and community-based groups to restore and promote our estuary. The DEP was established in 1999 and has been nationally recognised for excellence in coordinating initiatives to reduce water pollution, conserve habitats and species, monitor river health and promote greater use and enjoyment of the foreshore. Our major sponsors include: Brighton, Clarence, Derwent Valley, Glenorchy, Hobart and Kingborough councils, the Tasmanian State Government, Hobart Water, Tasmanian Ports Corporation, Norske Skog Boyer and Nyrstar Hobart Smelter. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Derwent: Values, Challenges and Management The Derwent estuary lies at the heart of the Hobart metropolitan area and is an asset of great natural beauty and diversity. It is an integral part of Tasmania’s cultural, economic and natural heritage. The estuary is an important and productive ecosystem and was once a major breeding ground for the southern right whale. Areas of wetlands, underwater grasses, tidal flats and rocky reefs support a wide range of species, including black swans, wading birds, penguins, dolphins, platypus and seadragons, as well as the endangered spotted handfish. Nearly 200,000 people – 40% of Tasmania’s population – live around the estuary’s margins. The Derwent is widely used for recreation, boating, fishing and marine transportation, and is internationally known as the finish-line for the Sydney–Hobart Yacht Race.

    Black and White Children in Welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940

    ‘Such a Longing’ Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Naomi Parry PhD August 2007 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Parry First name: Naomi Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: History Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: ‘Such a longing’: Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Abstract 350 words maximum: When the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission tabled Bringing them home, its report into the separation of indigenous children from their families, it was criticised for failing to consider Indigenous child welfare within the context of contemporary standards. Non-Indigenous people who had experienced out-of-home care also questioned why their stories were not recognised. This thesis addresses those concerns, examining the origins and history of the welfare systems of NSW and Tasmania between 1880 and 1940. Tasmania, which had no specific policies on race or Indigenous children, provides fruitful ground for comparison with NSW, which had separate welfare systems for children defined as Indigenous and non-Indigenous. This thesis draws on the records of these systems to examine the gaps between ideology and policy and practice. The development of welfare systems was uneven, but there are clear trends. In the years 1880 to 1940 non-Indigenous welfare systems placed their faith in boarding-out (fostering) as the most humane method of caring for neglected and destitute children, although institutions and juvenile apprenticeship were never supplanted by fostering. Concepts of child welfare shifted from charity to welfare; that is, from simple removal to social interventions that would assist children's reform.

    Observations on the Hydrology of the River Derwent, Tasmania

    PAPERS AND PROCEFJ)INGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF TASMANIA, VOLUME 39 Observations on the Hydrology of the River Derwent, Tasmania By ERIC R. GurLER Depaytlnent of Zoology, UniV6Ysity of Tasmania (WITH 6 TEXT FIGURES) ABSTRACT This paper records a series of hydrological observationiS made on the River Derwent over a twenty month period. The salinity, pH and temperature of the river are shown. The salinity of the water at the bottom of the river at Millbrook Rise (Station 47) is 0 gms/oo• The surface salinity is zero at Boyer (Station 45). At Cadbury's (Station 5) the salinity of the bottom water is 30 gms/". The salinity gradient has been also worked out. INTRODUCTION This work was commenced as part of a survey which was intended to include the relationship between salinity and the distribution of marine forms in the estuary of the River Derwent and to obtain an estimate of the toleration of some species for fresh water. Only the hydrological results are recorded here. 'rhe only work of major significance dealing with the hydrology of Australian estuarine waters is that of Rochford (1951). In this paper, he also reviews the more important overseas literature. Rochford gives some figures relating to the Derwent Estuary as well as to the Huon River and D'Entrecasteaux Channel in the South. '1'he River Derwent was chosen for survey because it i's convenient to Hobart and is suitable for boat work over most of the area of salt water penetration. It has the advantage of being reasonably free from factory pollution with the possible exception of two small areas which will be described below.
