The Standard Harvest Plan Conditions for Native Forest Operations in Southern Region, South Coast apply to this operation. Prepared By: Shane Endorsed By: Kate Halton Approved By: Kevin Petty Harvest Clohesy Harvest Planning Regional for Daniel Planner Team Leader Manager Tuan Signature Shane Signature Kate Halton Signature Kevin Petty Clohesy Date 25/09/2012 Date 25/09/2012 Date 25/09/2012 Note: Approval includes the Harvest Plan Operational Map (HPOM) and Burning Operational Map (BOM) with the corresponding approval date displayed on the map, verifying final approved version. Other maps included with this plan are Locality, Forest Type and Roading. Description of Proposal Harvesting of native forest Harvesting of native forest, using Single Tree Selection Silviculture subject to the Southern Region, IFOA requirements will be undertaken within this planning unit. Road construction will be licensed under the EPL. The primary product of the harvesting is high quality large sawlogs (quota logs), small high quality sawlogs, veneer logs, girders, poles & piles where timber markets are available. Parts of felled logs that do not meet high quality log specifications are segregated and graded into other classifications such as salvage sawlogs, pulp logs & miscellaneous timbers e.g. split & round posts, firewood, mining timbers & craftwood. The availability of miscellaneous timbers depends mainly on forest types, log defectiveness & market conditions at the time of harvesting. Clause 22 – Integrated Forestry Operations Approval (IFOA) Consideration All relevant factors have been reviewed taking into account the volume and monetary value of each forest product to supply Term Agreement Holders. The harvesting operation also complies with Clause 22 of the IFOA. Attachment 1: Site Safety Plan prescribes safety requirements and Medical Emergency Evacuation Plan for this harvesting operation. Attachment 2: Roading plan prescribes roading requirements for this harvesting operation. Attachment 3: Burning Plan prescribes burning requirements for this harvesting operation. Post-harvest burning should be confined as far as practicable to the Net Harvest Area. Site specific burning exclusions associated with other tenures, regrowth patches, and HP_BB_152_12 25-09-12 1 Southern Region – Compartment 152, Mogo State Forest, South Coast Management Area exclusions (flora, fauna, cultural heritage and other exclusion zones) are explained within the relevant sections of this harvest plan, in the critical boundaries section of the burning plan and indicated on the HPOM and BOM. The BOM and critical boundaries section of the burning plan also considers exclusion zones in compartments surrounding the planned compartment. If the post-log burn escapes the containment lines, the burn supervisor should use this information to assess if it is necessary to extinguish the fire or if it is acceptable to allow fire to burn out to a secondary control line. During the planning stage the location and type of control lines required to contain fire within the nha are considered and listed in the control lines section of the burn plan. Snig track patterns should be designed to double as bare earth control lines for each of the proposed control lines specified in the burn plan and for any other critical boundaries identified during the operation (e.g. nest exclusions, regrowth patches). Where this is not practical, the Contract Coordinator is to assess the need for a bare earth break to be constructed close to harvesting exclusion boundaries and seek advice and approval from the Operations Team Leader for the additional earth works. The Contract Coordinator/SFO must record the following information in the burn plan and prior to burning use this information and any other relevant information from the CC/SFO notes to brief the Burning Supervisor: · Any new critical boundaries identified during the operation, · If works required for existing and proposed control lines were carried out, · If proposed control lines were deemed to be unsuitable (e.g. a proposed new road did not get constructed or where a mapped drainage line didn’t occur to the full length as mapped), · If proposed control lines are no longer required (e.g. a section of the net harvest area did not get harvested) and will therefore not undergo post-log burning.

  • Submission to Senate Inquiry Into the Status, Health and Sustainability of Australia's Koala Population
    Committee Secretary Senate Standing Committee on Environment and Communications PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Australia Submission to Senate Inquiry into the status, health and sustainability of Australia’s koala population Submitted online 7th February 2011 The Coastwatchers Association Inc. is the Eurobodalla (New South Wales) environment and climate change group. With a current membership of 125, Coastwatchers has been active in the Eurobodalla Shire for a quarter of a century, conducting research, liaison, advocacy and encouragement for initiatives aimed at protecting the natural environment. In March 2010, Coastwatchers initiated a joint volunteer Eurobodalla Koalas project, aimed at investigating potential remnant populations, potential future habitat and issues related to koalas in Eurobodalla forests, including those on private land, State Forests and National Parks. The project has reached a point where some preliminary observations can be made. A preliminary discussion paper will be released publicly in March 2011. Coastwatchers welcomes the opportunity to provide these observations, and a set of recommendations, to the Senate Inquiry with a particular emphasis on the Eurobodalla.

General Remarks The National Koala Conservation and Management Strategy 2009 – 2014 provides the appropriate context for any consideration of the status and future of koalas within the boundaries of the Eurobodalla Shire, New South Wales. Local research so far confirms the National Strategy’s observations about koala history, lack of adequate data (historical and contemporary) and the need for conservation actions such as the rehabilitation and establishment of landscape-scale corridors across private and public land.

Geol.) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy (Science) School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Science and Engineering Faculty Queensland University of Technology 2020 Keywords Put a paragraph of keywords here in alphabetical order (for cataloguing purposes). Comerong Volcanics Lachlan Orogen Paleoenvironment Stratigraphy Intraplate Devonian Timing and basin implications for the Eden-Comerong-Yalwal Volcanic Zone: Stratigraphy, Depositional Environment and Tectonic Affinity of the Comerong Volcanic Complex, NSW i Abstract The Lachlan Orogen of New South Wales and Victoria preserves a geological history of Palaeozoic cratonisation of eastern Australia along the paleo-pacific plate boundary. The Lachlan Orogen forms an important crustal feature in eastern Australia because it hosts world-class economic deposits and provides a unique insight into plate tectonic processes active throughout the Palaeozoic. The eastern subdivision of the Lachlan Orogen is comprised of a complex accumulation of volcanic and sedimentary successions, intruded by granitic batholiths. Here I investigate the paleoenvironment, geochemical affinity and timing of the Devonian, Comerong Volcanic Complex on the New South Wales south coast. This investigation demonstrates the Comerong Volcanic Complex consists of alluvial, fluvial and lacustrine sedimentary deposits and bimodal volcanics that were emplaced in a subaerial paleoenvironment. The bimodal volcanics are underlain by a minor accumulation of andesitic lavas that have subduction-related trace element signatures. The bimodal rhyolites and basalts have within-plate geochemical affinities, indicating an intraplate tectonic setting.

    9h Australian Small Bridges Conference 2019 A Tale of Two Bridges A Comparison of Tyrone and Runnyford Bridge Constructions Royce Toohey, Support Services Engineer, Eurobodalla Shire Council ABSTRACT As part of Eurobodalla’s ongoing bridge replacement program, Council committed to the renewal of Runnyford Bridge over the Buckenbowra River at Runnyford. Simultaneously, grant funding was obtained from both NSW and Australian Governments for the replacement of Tyrone Bridge over the Tuross River at Eurobodalla. This paper looks at the two projects, the methods, costs and outcomes and compares the two. Runnyford Bridge is a 130m long timber structure that was replaced like-for-like within the existing footprint whilst Tyrone was the replacement of a 60m long low-level timber bridge with a 90m long concrete structure at a higher level on an adjacent alignment. Runnyford was Council funded, undertaken in-house to no predetermined design rather replicating what was existing. Tyrone was grant funded and delivered by a Design & Construct Contract under external supervision by NSW Public Works, with Council undertaking the tie-in roadworks. Whilst both projects have delivered the desired outcomes, they raised a number of significant issues in methodology, project management and skills. Lessons have been learnt from both projects and applied to Council’s systems and methodologies. 1 INTRODUCTION As part of Eurobodalla’s ongoing bridge replacement program that has seen the replacement of 15 timber bridges since the early 2000’s, Council committed to the renewal of Runnyford Bridge over the Buckenbowra River at Runnyford. Simultaneously, grant funding was obtained from both the NSW and Australian Governments for the replacement of Tyrone Bridge over the Tuross River at Eurobodalla.
