Potential geologic sources of seismic hazard in the Sydney Basin. Proceedings volume of a one day workshop. Geoscience Australia Record 2009/11. 115pp. ii Seismic Hazard in Sydney Proceedings of the one day workshop Foreword The Sydney Basin encloses a significant proportion of the Australian population, and the 1989 M5.6 Newcastle earthquake demonstrated that the basin is not immune from the impact of even relatively modest earthquakes. In spite of this, few investigations have been conducted to identify and characterise potential geologic sources of strong ground shaking. A recent major study of the southern part of the basin commented that “The available data are less complete than ideal for the purposes of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis”. Essentially, the extreme infrequency of large earthquake events in intraplate regions, such as Australia, means that the short historic record of seismicity is poorly suited to the task of assessing seismic hazard. Hence, geologic, geomorphic and paleoseismic knowledge has a vital role to play in obtaining constraint on the probable location and recurrence of large and damaging earthquakes near Sydney. In April 2005 a one–day workshop at the University of Sydney brought together a diverse range of researchers with experience in the geology and geomorphology of the Sydney Basin, neotectonics and seismic hazard science. A series of seminars were presented covering geology, geomorphology, seismicity and seismic hazard. These served as a nucleation point for subsequent discussion, and the drafting of the papers presented herein. This proceedings volume contains within its covers tools for understanding large earthquake occurrence within the Sydney Basin. Hence, it represents a framework upon which future advances in our understanding of the seismic hazard posed to Australia’s largest population centre may be based. iii Seismic Hazard in Sydney Proceedings of the one day workshop Contents Foreword .....................................................................................................................................................iii Neotectonics and landscape evolution of southeastern Australia: establishing a geologic context for contemporary seismicity QUIGLEY M.

QUIGLEY1, MIKE SANDIFORD1, DAN CLARK2 1SCHOOL OF EARTH SCIENCES, THE UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE 2GEOSPATIAL AND EARTH MONITORING DIVISION, GEOSCIENCE AUSTRALIA ABSTRACT Southeastern Australia contains a rich geologic record of Plio-Quaternary reverse faulting and associated landscape evolution that can be used to provide geologic constraints on historical seismicity. The Mt Lofty-Flinders Ranges-eastern Gawler Craton region and Eastern Highlands are characterized by high fault density, “youthful” geomorphology, and high seismic activity relative to most of Australia, including the intervening Murray Basin. Inferred ~east-west directed maximum compressive paleostress orientations derived from Plio-Quaternary faults are generally consistent with ~east-west to ~southeast-northwest maximum compressive stress orientations derived from historical earthquake focal mechanisms, providing a link between the neotectonic record, seismicity, and in situ stress. Plio-Quaternary fault slip rates along range-bounding reverse faults range from 20 to 150 m per million years (m Myr-1). Coupled with slow bedrock erosion rates at range summits, this suggests a minimum of 100 m of surface uplift has occurred over considerable areas of southeastern Australia since the Miocene. Estimates of recurrence interval of large magnitude, surface rupturing earthquakes along individual faults range from ~ 22 000 to ≥ 83 000 years. Single- event fault displacements may have reached up to 8 m in total fault offset. The data acquired from neotectonic investigations bear heavily on the modes, mechanisms, and seismic risk associated with the active regional deformation of southeastern Australia, including the Sydney Basin. INTRODUCTION Although records of historical earthquakes provide cursory information on active crustal deformation and seismic risk, recurrence intervals of large earthquakes in many intracontinental regions commonly surpass the life span of these records by orders of magnitude, defining the need for fault studies over geologic time-scales. The neotectonic record of prehistoric faulting provides an important source of information on the long-term behaviour of intracontinental faults, especially where it can be linked

    Appendix 4.2 Appendix Wollondilly River Wollondilly Subcatchment summaries Subcatchment Wollondilly River Subcatchment River Wollondilly At 2699km2, the Wollondilly River subcatchment is the largest in the Hawkesbury Nepean catchment. The Wingecarribee and Nattai subcatchments lie to the east, the Upper Wollondilly to the west, Mulwaree to the south-west, and the Kowmung and Lake Burragorang subcatchments to the north. The Tarlo River National Park protects a section of the major Tarlo tributary (Tarlo R2) and the river fl ows into the reserved lands associated with Lake Burragorang. The subcatchment contains signifi cant agricultural lands and associated industries, which were developed early in European settlement and carry through to the current time. As with many such areas, since European settlement the Wollondilly subcatchment has been signifi cantly altered. Signifi cant riparian and fl oodplain vegetation has been cleared for grazing, native riparian trees were replaced with exotic and invasive Willows (Salix spp.) and intact valley fi lls have been gullied due to changes in runoff . The subcatchment contains a rare river channel type in Reach 1 of the Tarlo River (Tarlo R1), the “Meandering lateral” river channel type, which is of high environmental signifi cance due to its rarity. Signifi cant community based environment activity exists in the subcatchment.

    Blue Mountains Conservation Society Issue No. 296 HUT NEWS September 2012 “Nature Conservation Saves for Tomorrow” Remembering Reg Toseland Reg Toseland passed away on 20 August at Albion Park, at the age of 87. Reg and Dulcie Toseland are fondly remembered by older members of the Society. They were both very active in the Society during the days when the old Conservation Hut was the headquarters of the Society and were among the volunteers who helped to operate it as a tea room at weekends, providing light refreshments, information and environmental education to the public. Reg was President of the Society in 1986. Then in 1987-1989 Dulcie was President and Reg had the job of Secretary. In 1990 Reg filled the position of “Hut Supplies Officer”. Following the opening of the new Conservation Hut, Reg became an "Elder Statesman" of the Society, and was an invaluable source of information and guidance to new members of the Management MONTHLY MEETING Committee.
