  • 1 Comment Attached to Submission on Registration, from Dr Bruce Baskerville, on Proposed Listing of Guildford Historic Town, P2
    Comment attached to Submission on Registration, from Dr Bruce Baskerville, on Proposed Listing of Guildford Historic Town, P2915 Due COB Friday 19 October 2018 1. Name of item P2915 should be ‘Town of Guildford’ Guildford today is a living community and living place, it is not a historic relic frozen in time. The proposed name of Guildford Historic Town suggests otherwise. The qualifier ‘historic’ is both superfluous and misleading, suggesting the current place is a museum artefact. A ‘historic town’ may be considered as a class of category of heritage item in some statutory or community heritage systems, but that is not the same as a proper toponym or place name. The Guildford Town Trust was established in 1843, the second town trust established after Perth, and from then on at least the name Town of Guildford conveyed a sense of the importance of the town.1 In 1871 the Town Trust was replaced by a municipal council with style of the ‘The Council and Burgesses of the Town of Guildford’, and the first elections were held on 2 March 1871 for councillors.2 This was the second municipal election, after Fremantle, held under the new Municipal Institutions Act 1871. The municipal council of the Town of Guildford survived until 1961. Today, the name Town of Guildford survives in real place names such as Guildford Town Wharf, Guildford Town Hall & Library (heritage place P02460), and in business names such as Guildford Town Garden Centre. The name Town of Guildford better reflects the historical development and continuing vitality and character of the town than the proposed Guildford Historic Town name.

  • The Effects of Freshwater Flows and Salinity on Phytoplankton Biomass and Composition in an Urban Estuary, the Swan River, Western Australia
    preprint – 1 of 7 The Effects of Freshwater Flows and Salinity on Phytoplankton Biomass and Composition in an Urban Estuary, The Swan River, Western Australia D. P. Hamilton, T. U. Chan, B. J. Robson and B. R. Hodges1 Centre for Water Research, The University of Western Australia, Nedlands, WA 6907, Australia ABSTRACT Estuarine residence times regulate not only biomass, but also phytoplankton succession. In the Swan River estuary, Western Australia, dinoflagellate and marine diatoms tend to dominate during periods of low flow and high residence times, whereas the faster-growing freshwater diatoms and chlorophytes are associated with higher flow rates. Modifications to the estuary and its catchment area over the last century have considerably reduced residence times and may favour dinoflagellate and marine diatom dominated populations. Anecdotal evidence also suggests a greater regularity of summer blooms dominated by these groups in recent years. INTRODUCTION A number of factors make estuaries particularly vulnerable to eutrophication and algal blooms. First, human populations tend to proliferate around estuary margins, often leading to increases in land disturbance and nutrient inputs (Boynton et al., 1992). For example, Australia's geographic demography is associated with high concentrations of population along coastal land margins relative to inland areas and the arid interior in particular. Estuaries are sometimes considered to be the terminal repository for much of the sediment and nutrients derived from terrestrial sources via tributary inflows. They may therefore act to filter sediments and nutrients from inputs to adjoining coastal systems, provided that processes of burial and immobilisation of nutrients are maintained (Fisher et al., 1988).
