  • A Title for a Well-Formatted Full Paper Title Case Arial
    Extreme wetland makeover – Multiple benefits at Mountain View Reserve, Cranebrook Andrew McMillan Senior engineer, Alluvium Consulting, Sydney, Australia E-mail: [email protected] Tim Gowing Senior Water Management Officer, Penrith City Council, Sydney, Australia E-mail: [email protected] Daria Rech Senior Water Management Officer, Penrith City Council, Sydney, Australia E-mail: [email protected] Stormwater treatment projects provide opportunities for a range of ecological and community liveability benefits, and Penrith City Council’s scheme at Mountain View Reserve has evolved to demonstrate this potential. The subject site in Cranebrook, which is identified as a Regionally Significant Wetland (‘Wetland 156’) under Sydney Regional Environmental Plan No 20, had become neglected and degraded with weeds after a history including grazing. The project was initially focussed on stormwater treatment due to its location immediately upstream of Penrith Lakes, as well as improving the condition of the regionally significant wetland and adjacent Cumberland Plain Woodland. A concept had previously been prepared for a stormwater treatment wetland at the site, and through design development this was revised to respond to the existing ecological value found at the site and to suit the available project budget. The treatment system now includes a constructed wetland that was designed to require minimal earthworks and utilise the existing soil surface found at the site. A collaborative and multi-faceted project has resulted in a number of complimentary sub-projects to improve and activate the site including bush regeneration, walking paths, viewing platform, a bird hide, and artworks. The project has restored the site to a highly valued asset, increasing the resilience and biodiversity value of the remnant wetland, and reactivating community connections through linkages and amenity.

  • Hansard 9 April 2002
    9 Apr 2002 Legislative Assembly 639 TUESDAY, 9 APRIL 2002 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R. K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE Berri Ltd Mr SEENEY (Callide—NPA) (9.31 a.m.): On Monday, 11 March a number of media outlets carried reports claiming that I had lied to this parliament when I asked a question of the Minister for State Development on 8 March. This is a very serious accusation and it has been repeated a number of times by both the Premier and the Deputy Premier. The claim is demonstrably wrong. I did not lie to this parliament, nor did I mislead this parliament on 8 March or at any other time. The question that I asked referred to concerns that had been raised with me by a constituent relating to state government grants. Mr Speaker, I wish to table some documents pertaining to that issue. I table a copy of a telephone log from 8 August last year from my electorate office and a copy of my diary from 9 August last year, both of which record the initial contact that I had on this issue with my constituent. One is in my secretary's handwriting and one is in mine. Mr Speaker, I also table a document supplied by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission which is a current and historical search on Berri New South Wales Ltd, the corporate entity which received the grant. Under sections 168 to 171 of the Corporations Act, Berri Ltd has a statutory responsibility to ensure that this public record is correct.

  • A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2
    A Cameo of Captain Thomas Rowley 2 INTRODUCTION 0.01 The recent gift to my wife of a cameo brooch, said to have been a present from Captain Thomas Rowley to his bride, led to my making enquiries about my wife's great great great grandfather. Many of the stories which accompanied the gift were subsequently found to have little foundation but my enquiries produced much information which may prove of sufficient interest to others to justify my writing this tale of a man who played no small part in the establishment of the Colony of New South Wales. 0.02 In consequence, this Cameo of CAPTAIN THOMAS ROWLEY ( ? - 1806) is dedicated to the memory of his son THOMAS ROWLEY (1794 - 1862) his grandson HORATIO NELSON ROWLEY (1831 – 1887) his great grand-daughter ELIZA SMITH (nee ROWLEY) (1868 - 1921) his great great grandson LESLIE JOHN SMITH (1891 - 1944) and is written for the information of his great great great grand-daughter, my wife NANCY RAMAGE (nee SMITH) his great great great great grandchildren, our children RAYMOND JOHN ALASTAIR RAMAGE JUDITH ANNE RAMAGE DAVID ANDREW RAMAGE and his great great great great great grand-daughters, our grand-daughters ALICIA JANE RAMAGE LAUREN ELIZABETH RAMAGE 0.03 Preface to Second Edition: I have taken advantage of a request for reprinting to correct one or two errors of fact to which my attention has been drawn by some of the many interested descendants who have contacted me following the issue of the first edition. For ease of reference, I have retained the paragraph numbering used previously.
