ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION Plan Appendix One & Two
ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION plan Appendix one & two Appendix one Key environmental issues FOR Campbelltown Our Land The Campbelltown LGA is located on the south-western edge of the Sydney metropolitan area, approximately 53 kilometres from the Sydney CBD and occupies an area of about 312 square kilometres. The LGA, which extends from Glenfield in the north to Menangle Park in the south, comprises 33 suburbs and is surrounded by five other LGAs. The population predominately lives within a linear urban corridor that follows the alignment of the M31 Motorway/Hume Highway and the Main Southern Railway Line. Campbelltown was developed as a satellite city in response to the Sydney Regional Outline Plan of the 1960s and is part of the South West Growth Centre (together with Camden and Wollondilly LGAs). The current land use within the LGA is characterised by a variety of urban and rural land uses. The dominant house form is low density detached dwellings, groupings of medium density housing in suburbs and a limited number of apartments located in the CBD. Campbelltown’s current population is estimated at more than 156,000, people; however Council is currently reviewing its population projections to take into account the anticipated growth resulting from the implementation of the Glenfield to Macarthur Urban Renewal Corridor and the Greater Macarthur Land Release Strategies, and it is expected that the population will reach more than 300,000 by 2036. This growth and corresponding economic development will result in inevitable pressures and impacts on our local environment. 1 Australian Bureau of Statistics, Census of Population and Housing 2011. -
Submission Into Australia's Faunal Extinction Crisis
Barry Durman Submission into Australia’s faunal extinction crisis I thank the committee for allowing us to send submissions to help with their inquiry. Although this submission is a personal one, I have based it on the web site. https://campbelltownkoalaresearchanddatabase.com/ of which I am the webmaster. This panel will be hard pushed to read and digest all the material that will be available to them so I hope that this brief summary will help, more information can be found in the scientific documents and reports. As I live in South West Sydney this submission is based on the koalas of this region, where there are three genetic types according to Dr. Tristen Lee whose thesis this is based on. It is now commonly known that the Campbelltown population was hunted for their pelts and came close to extinction with numbers down to less than 20. That being the case it has taken this population a long time to recover and to reach the numbers of today. It is called the Campbelltown population but it covers a large area as you can see from this map the three areas of the DNA mapping and where the Chlamydia boundary is. This is very important to remember as unlike other populations this one is expanding and Chlamydia free. Prof.R. Close has always said that numbers are not important but the ability to roam and expand is. It is taken for granted that we know what is meant by this but what is being said is that their need to roam is vital so that the genetic distribution can be spread over a distance, just like in humans this helps to stop inbreeding. -

DENDROOBIUM MININE - PLAN FORFO THE FUTUREE: COAL FORFO STEELMMAKING DECEMBERB 2016 REFERRAL OF PROPOSED ACTION UNDER THE ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AND BIODIVERSITY CONSERRVATION ACT, 1999 Referral of proposed action Proposed DENDROBIUM MINE – PLAN FOR THE FUTURE: action title: COAL FOR STEELMAKING 1 Summary of proposed action 1.1 Short description The Dendrobium Mine – Plan for the Future: Coal for Steelmaking (the Action) is an extension to the underground mining areas at the Dendrobium Mine to gain access to additional areas within Consolidated Coal Lease (CCL) 768 and related surface infrastructure and activities. The coal would be extracted using longwall mining methods in the Action underground mining areas (Area 5 and Area 6). The Dendrobium Mine is an existing underground coal mine situated in the Southern Coalfield of New South Wales (NSW) (Figure 1). The Dendrobium Mine is owned and operated by Illawarra Coal Holdings Pty Ltd (Illawarra Coal), a wholly owned subsidiary of South32 Limited (South32). The Dendrobium Mine was determined to be a Controlled Action (EPBC 2001/214) and was subsequently approved on 20 December 2001. The Action, the subject of this referral under the EPBC Act, does not include aspects of the existing and/or approved operations at the Dendrobium Mine (as described further in Section 2.1). 1.2 Latitude and longitude Table 1 Location of the Action Latitude Longitude Location Point Degrees Minutes Seconds Degrees Minutes Seconds 1 -34 19 56.81 150 39 09.14 2 -34 20 27.82 150 42 36.71 3 -34 18 05.16 150 43 07.64 4 -34 18 20.28 150 47 32.31 5 -34 20 14.28 150 47 17.95 6 -34 23 07.18 150 41 07.88 7 -34 22 51.93 150 38 31.01 Location points are presented on Figure 2. -
Habitat Restoration and Management of Endangered Species on Sydney Sandstone Outcrops
Habitat Restoration and Management of Endangered Species on Sydney Sandstone Outcrops Benjamin Michael Croak A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Biological Sciences THE UNIVERSITY OE SYDNEY September 2012 Declaration I hereby certify that the work presented in this thesis is my own (except where specifically acknowledged), and that this thesis has not been used to attain a degree at another university. Preface In accordance with current practice at The University of Sydney, this thesis is presented as a series of stand-alone manuscripts that have either been submitted to international journals for peer review, or have been peer reviewed and accepted for publication. Because they are similarly themed stand-alone manuscripts, there is some unavoidable repetition. Most of the ideas contained in this thesis are my own. In other cases I contributed substantially to the development of ideas, and the majority of work (including planning, designing, implementing, analysing and writing of manuscripts) was undertaken by me under the guidance of my supervisors. To maintain transparency regarding the level of contribution, I have listed all co-authors as they appear in published articles. Due to joint- authorship, the work presented in most chapters is discussed as “we” instead of “I”. All work was conducted under the approval of the Animal Ethics Committee of The University of Sydney (Animal ethics permit number: L04/12-2008/3/4927) and was approved by New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS Scientific Licence: SL100472). Acknowledgements My project would not have been possible without the input of a large group of people who have assisted, encouraged, listened to, volunteered for and generally helped me throughout my candidature. -

Summer Program 2018-19 THE SYDNEY BUSH WALKERS INC – Summer Program 2018-19 SYDNEY BUSH WALKERS INC P.O. Box 431 Milsons Point NSW WALKS GRADING Day Walk: A day walk means walking all day - the walks usually start at 8:00am and finish by dark. Often we have dinner afterwards. Weekend Walk: A weekend walk may start Friday night and camp at the start or early Saturday morning. On the first day, the party usually gets to camp after 3:00pm and before dark, (hopefully).

We usually get back to the cars between early afternoon and dark. After dark finishes do happen, however they are usually not planned for. Often a dinner is arranged at a venue on the way home.
