  • Tallawarra Lands Community Update
    News Issue 03, December 2006 Tallawarra Lands Community Update Welcome to the third in a series of community updates to keep you informed of the planning process for the Tallawarra power station and surrounding lands. In November, we started construction of Australia’s most energy efficient gas-fired power station, TRUenergy Tallawarra. Located on the shores of Lake Illawarra, the power station will occupy a small portion of a larger, 600 hectare site that will be developed to provide environmental, recreational, residential and employment opportunities. Thank you to all those who attended our second Tallawarra consultation session held in September. Since then, the project team has been busy finalising the Local Environment Study to ensure it is consistent with findings of the specialist background studies of the site and also responds to issues raised in consultation. We look forward to presenting a more detailed planning scheme to the community early next year. Until then, our best wishes for the holiday season. Anthony Savenkov Project Manager TRUenergy Tallawarra Lands sporting activities, picnic & BBQ areas, as well as playgrounds, etc. • Minimising the visual impact of any development. • Following conservation, the preferred option for the northern part of the site near Koonawarra was low density residential and retirement accommodation. Outcomes of the September Community Consultation Session Community feedback from the consultation process The second Community Consultation Session for the has been provided to Willana Associates, Tallawarra Lands project was held on 2 September independent environmental planning specialists who 2006 and was well attended by members of the local are coordinating development of a Local community.

  • University of Wollongong Campus News 7 October 1986
    THE UNIVERSITY OF WOLLONGONG CAMPUS NEWS Distributed each Tuesday Deadline for copy noon Monday Editor: George Wilson, tel. (042) 270926 of previous week 7 October 1986 'THERE IS WIDESPREAD DISSATISFACTION WITH EDUCATION'-PROFESSOR DAME LEONIE KRAMER There is widespread community dissatisfaction with education. The status of teachers is not as high as it used to be or as it ought to be. These two statements formed the basis of a controversial lecture titled 'Community Expectations of Schools' which was presented to final year teacher trainees by Professor Dame Leonie Kramer when she visited the Wollongong University campus on Monday afternoon. In a lecture in which she raised issues related to stand­ ards and quality in education. Professor Kramer referred to curricula, syllabi and teacher training and expertise. In her concluding remarks Professor Kramer claimed that teachers have a tremendous influence on pupils, therefore they had a responsibility to present subject matter in a disinterested way. This type of presentation would enable pupils to formulate their own views. Teachers are not now seen to practise the objectivity and impartiality that the community expects, she said. UNIVERSITY IS ON-LINE WITH VIATEL Viatel is the national videotex service run by Telecom Australia. In 18 months it has attracted over 150 service providers (organisations who want to provide information on their services and activities) and 15,000 subscribers Professor Kramer giving tier address during tier Wollongong visit (people who want to find out what is going on from a huge database at a cost usually belowthat of buying a newspaper). If the British experience is anything to go by, the service will expand by orders of magnitude over the next few years University Open Day and will provide the University with a shopfront window to the world which could in the end rival the other media.

  • Berkeley Prepares for War
    60 July lllawarra Historical Society Inc. BERKELEY PREPARES FOR WAR When she was researching the history of Berkeley, Society member, Kathleen Barwick, (now Kathleen Hooke) received the following information from the Australian Army: I refer to your letter of 7th April, 1963, in which you requested information in regard to the concrete blocks in Lake lllawarra and rank trap in the Berkeley Area. It is regretted that Army files containing the correspondence dealing with the concrete blocks and the tank traps have been destroyed, and as such, no specific information can be obtained for you. In reply to your questions, concerning the defence of Berkeley, I will answer each ques­ tion separately. Why was the tank trap necessary? It was designed to stop an armoured thrust along the coast from Port Kembla. Were there extensive precautions taken to stop the japanese entering here (Berkeley)? After the capture of Singapore, plans were prepared for the defence of Eastern Australian Coastline with special attention to possible landing areas near major cities and large industrial centres. Wollongong - Port Kembla was one of these areas to be defended. Was the japanese navy expected to force a landing near Port Kembla? It is generally not known where an enemy would strike on such an extensive coastline but Wollongong -Port Kembla is an industrial centre and as such was regarded as possible target for enemy assault. Were there other tank traps established along the Eastern coast ofAustralia? The Eastern Coast has many coastal rivers which would have been possible defensive barriers for tanks, but all major centres of population had plans for the construction of tank traps and many were actually built.

This submission has been prepared by Council staff. Time constraints did not allow the submission to be endorsed by the full Council. Notwithstanding. Shellharbour City Council (Council) acknowledges and is grateful for the extension of time granted by the Department to prepare and lodge this submission. Council has consistently collaborated with the applicant, CASA and the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (your Department) to ensure the proposed Open Cycle Gas Turbine is compatible with the Shellharbour Airport operations, the health of Lake Illawarra and the visual amenity of those areas within the city that look across the Lake to the subject land. It is understood that the Modification Application is seeking approval to extend the Project Approval lapse date by two years and amend the description of the proposal in condition 1.5 so that a single open cycle gas turbine may be used for the power plant. Having reviewed and carefully assessed the information accompanying the application Council has identified a number of matters of concern. These matters are discussed in detail below. Request to extend the Project Approval lapse date by two years: On 14 May 2020, s4.53 of the EPA Act was amended to provide that if a development consent commenced operation before 25 March 2020 and has not lapsed, it will now lapse 2 years after the date on which it would otherwise have lapsed.

  • Albion Park Rail Bypass State Significant Infrastructure Application Report
    Roads and Maritime Services Albion Park Rail bypass State significant infrastructure application report December 2014 RMS 14.576 ISBN 978-1-925217-17-9 Executive summary Introduction and need Roads and Maritime Services is planning for a 9.8 kilometre extension of the M1 Princes Motorway between Yallah and Oaks Flats to bypass Albion Park Rail (the project). The motorway would complete the ‘missing link’ for a high standard road between Sydney and Bomaderry. It would provide easy access to Dapto, Albion Park and Oak Flats, have two lanes in each direction with median separation and have capacity for additional lanes. It is expected to be signposted at 100 kilometres per hour. The project would also require ancillary facilities during construction, such as compounds, stockpile sites, temporary accesses, and sedimentation basins. Roads and Maritime’s strategy is to provide a minimum four lane divided highway between Sydney and Jervis Bay Road, just south of Nowra. In line with this, the NSW Government has committed to a series of upgrades on the Princes Highway. Each of the remaining sections of highway to be upgraded to four lanes is under construction, or in planning, making the road standard of the section between Yallah and Oak Flats inconsistent with the Princes Motorway to the north and the Princes Highway to the south. The Princes Motorway and Princes Highway between southern Sydney and Bomaderry have free flowing traffic conditions with the only remaining traffic lights at Albion Park Rail. Roads and Maritime considers that the project is needed to improve road safety and efficiency of the road network.
