Should this be the cause, the applicant is advised to limit sandbagging to one layer and that it should not extend past the existing concrete wall of sleepers that protrude into the river. Development Assessment Panel 1724 Minutes 29 August 2005 MID MURRAY COUNCIL 6. DEVELOPMENT REPORT CONT’D 6.11 Development Application 711/129/05 – S & D Butler cont’d Condition as imposed by the Department of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation a) The applicant must not use concrete sleepers in further construction on the riverbank at this site as suggested by this application. Concrete sleepers are not a desirable method to create a landing or stabilise the bank as they reflect wave energy rather than absorb it encouraging further erosion and do not support natural bank stabilisation, which can be achieved through the establishment of native vegetation. Notations as imposed by Council a) The applicant is reminded that all conditions and notations attached to the approval issued for development application 711/338/03 remain valid. b) This approval does not imply compliance with the Electricity Trust of South Australia Act 1946 (as amended), or the Regulations thereunder. It is the responsibility of the owner and the person undertaking development to ensure compliance with the same. You are advised to contact appropriate authorities including ETSA, Telstra and SA Water in relation to the location of supply lines and other requirements prior to commencing work. c) Development Approval Required This approval refers only to Provisional Development Plan Consent. Provisional Building Rules Consent and Development Approval must be obtained prior to commencement of work. d) Consent Valid 36 Months If substantial work on the development is not commenced within twelve months of the date of this consent, or substantially completed within thirty- six months of the date of this consent, a fresh consent must be obtained. e) The Council also advises that the proposed development will be located within the “River Murray Floodplain” which is subject to periodic flooding, which may cause extensive or total loss. Neither the Council or any of its Servants, Agents or Officers accept any responsibility for any such loss which may occur. Any conditions are imposed so as to maintain the natural character of the River Valley and to attain the Objectives of the River Murray Zone. Development Assessment Panel 1725 Minutes 29 August 2005 MID MURRAY COUNCIL 6. DEVELOPMENT REPORT CONT’D 6.11 Development Application 711/129/05 – S & D Butler cont’d Notations as imposed by the Department of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation a) The query as to definitions relating to the development application is as follows. The Macquarie Dictionary 2003 On-line Edition defines Mooring as something by which a ship or the like is moored, as a cable, line, etc. and mooring (plural) as the place where a vessel is or may be moored. Landing on the other hand is a place where person or goods are landed, as from a ship. It also refers to architecture; a. the floor at the head or foot of a flight of stairs. b. a platform between flights of stairs. General usage for a landing in reference to the river therefore is the platform between the land and the vessel, which could be also referred to as a pier, wharf, jetty or dock. b) The applicant is advised that no more than 100mm of topsoil is to be used on the riverbank for the purposes of creating a lawn area. c) It has been indicated by the applicant that is their intention to use sandbags to prevent further bank erosion. Should this be the cause, the applicant is advised to limit sandbagging to one layer and that it should not extend past the existing concrete wall of sleepers that protrude into the river. d) The applicant is advised to consider a new product called Soft Rock if bank erosion is still an issue on the site. This product is made of a manufactured geotextile material designed to be long lasting and durable. The containers can be filled with soil or sand and covered in soil to encourage the establishment of riverbank vegetation. Soft Rock is designed to absorb wave energy as opposed to concrete blocks that reflect wave energy, making Soft Rock a better option for the health of the River Murray. Included is a copy of their brochure that I hope you will take the time to read and consider. A contact number is highlighted on the last page should you have any further questions regarding the product. e) The applicant is advised of their general duty of care to take all reasonable measures to prevent any harm to the River Murray through his or her actions or activities. Seconded R Bourne. 10.56 AM The meeting adjourned for a break. 11.08 AM The meeting resumed. Development Assessment Panel 1726 Minutes 29 August 2005 MID MURRAY COUNCIL 6.

  • Place Names of South Australia: W
    W Some of our names have apparently been given to the places by drunken bushmen andfrom our scrupulosity in interfering with the liberty of the subject, an inflection of no light character has to be borne by those who come after them. SheaoakLog ispassable... as it has an interesting historical association connectedwith it. But what shall we say for Skillogolee Creek? Are we ever to be reminded of thin gruel days at Dotheboy’s Hall or the parish poor house. (Register, 7 October 1861, page 3c) Wabricoola - A property North -East of Black Rock; see pastoral lease no. 1634. Waddikee - A town, 32 km South-West of Kimba, proclaimed on 14 July 1927, took its name from the adjacent well and rock called wadiki where J.C. Darke was killed by Aborigines on 24 October 1844. Waddikee School opened in 1942 and closed in 1945. Aboriginal for ‘wattle’. ( See Darke Peak, Pugatharri & Koongawa, Hundred of) Waddington Bluff - On section 98, Hundred of Waroonee, probably recalls James Waddington, described as an ‘overseer of Waukaringa’. Wadella - A school near Tumby Bay in the Hundred of Hutchison opened on 1 July 1914 by Jessie Ormiston; it closed in 1926. Wadjalawi - A tea tree swamp in the Hundred of Coonarie, west of Point Davenport; an Aboriginal word meaning ‘bull ant water’. Wadmore - G.W. Goyder named Wadmore Hill, near Lyndhurst, after George Wadmore, a survey employee who was born in Plymouth, England, arrived in the John Woodall in 1849 and died at Woodside on 7 August 1918. W.R.

  • Jabuk - the Town, 11 Km East of Peake, Known As ‘Marmon Jabuk’ Until 20 February 1941, Was Laid out in 1909 by William E
    J And now Mr Editor… you know that nearly everybody in the colony pays you threepence daily to be saved the trouble of thinking for themselves. If then you agree with me that the native names should be retained, and will be so good as tell your readers so, it will prevent our future maps being disfigured with the names of any more Betsey Jones or Jemmimer Anna. (Register, 3 August 1868, page 3c) Jabuk - The town, 11 km east of Peake, known as ‘Marmon Jabuk’ until 20 February 1941, was laid out in 1909 by William E. Cross, blacksmith of East Wellington, on section 5, Hundred of Peake. (Its nomenclature is explored under ‘Marmon Jabuk, Hundred of’) In 1910, the laying of the foundation stone of the new institute was witnessed by about 180 persons. Mr L.A. Beelitz performed the ceremony and was presented by the residents with a solid silver trowel. A luncheon was provided by the ladies: Among the speakers were Messrs L. Hannaford, Beelitz, Kirkpatrick, Millard, Featherstone, Woods, Harvey and Pastor Beaston… There is no school here but so soon as the institute is completed the committee intend to apply to the Education Department for a teacher… Blade shearing at Jabuk – circa 1920 Its school, opened as ‘Marmon Jabuk’ in 1911, was changed to Jabuk in 1941 and closed in 1964. (See Marmon Jabuk) Jackboot Bay - On Lake Eyre; named by C.W. Bonython because of its shape. Jacks Lookout - On section 834, Hundred of Moorooroo was the Christian name of one of Abraham Shannon’s shepherds.

  • A Person Arriving in This Colony, and Wishing to Join His Friends at The
    R A person arriving in this colony, and wishing to join his friends at the Meadows, consults his railway guide, and finds that he has to take train for Quorn, etc; but after travelling some 200 miles north discovers that he has to retrace his journey to the city, and start again to the older village, something like 20 miles south of Adelaide. Many similar examples may be given… (Advertiser, 4 April 1888) Rabbit Island - (See Owen Island, Pennington Bay & Koromaranggul) Rabelais, Cape - In the South-East, appears first on Freycinet’s charts and, probably, was named after Francois Rabelais (circa 1494-1553), the celebrated French satirist and humorist who, in younger days, was a Benedictine monk but departed from his clerical labours, after a monastical quarrel, to become a physician. Rabila - A railway station 5 km South-East of Murray Bridge. Aboriginal for ‘good hunting ground’. Radium - Radium Creek - (See Echo Camp) Radium Hill is 40 km South-West of Cockburn, where uranium was discovered in 1906; the mine closed in 1961, The Radium Hill School opened in 1953 and closed in 1962. Radstock, Cape - On Eyre Peninsula, named by Matthew Flinders on 9 February 1802 after Lord Radstock (1753-1825), an English Admiral. Baudin called it Pointe de la Chausse (Reef Point), while Freycinet’s charts show C. Halle. Raeburn - A school near Curramulka opened in 1929 by Lizzie Forsyth; it closed in 1940. Raglan - A school, opened in 1884 as ‘Inkerman North’, became ‘Raglan’ in 1891, ‘Bowmans’ in 1905 and was closed in 1972. Of interest is the fact that

  • The Memory of Deadly Battlefields And
    P The memory of deadly battlefields and desperate sieges is preserved in the title of some beautiful hamlet; while the scattered inhabitants of a secluded village rejoice in the borrowed plumes of some crowded European city. English and colonial statesmen are immortalised in hundred, river or agricultural area and royalty has not been forgotten… It is a matter for gratitude that… some of the euphonious and appropriate native names have survived the ordeal. (Advertiser, 12 August 1882, page 7c) Packard Bend - Situated on the River Murray, near Blanchetown. The 1864 date of the fatal drowning as stated by Rodney Cockburn in What’s In a Name would appear to be false because the Register of 29 September 1866 at page 4h says: ‘Francis Packard, a member of Mr Ebenezer MacGeorge’s survey party and formerly a member of the Northern Territory expedition [has] been drowned in the Murray… the body has not been recovered…’ Earlier, on 31 August 1866 it is said that the fatality occurred at ‘a station called Piapco … after swimming 150 yards he sank like a stone… The reminiscences of J.H. Packard, who arrived in the Asia in 1851,.are in the Observer, 1 January 1927 and an obituary on 17 August 1929: My personal experiences carry me back to 1868 when George Woodroffe Goyder was Surveyor-General of South Australia…The government of the day always consulted him in all matters connected with Crown lands, roads and proposed railways. He was never satisfied with the circuitous interstate railway… Being one of his surveyors he asked if I would care to undertake to survey an alternative line through the Torrens Gorge… [He concludes with a comprehensive summary of erroneous surveys made in connection with interstate boundaries - see under ‘South Australia’.] Paddington - An 1877 subdivision of part section 422, Hundred of Yatala, by James Williams and James W.

  • Kabininge - This Name Is Shown Thus on Early Maps and Means ‘Bad Water Place’ and on Latter-Day Maps It Appears As Kabminye
    K We can scarcely imagine that [the Governor] is solely or even mainly responsible for such preposterous and disfiguring names on our maps as Jamestown, Georgetown, Laura, Hundred of Dublin and a dozen others equally objectionable. (Register, 10 October 1872, page 4f) Kabininge - This name is shown thus on early maps and means ‘bad water place’ and on latter-day maps it appears as Kabminye. Situated three kilometres south of Tanunda, it was said to mean ‘morning star’. Prior to 1918 it was known as ‘Kronsdorf’, this name, with a slight modification, was restored to the map as ‘Krondorf’ in 1975. Kadina - The name is derived from kadnina - ‘place for termites’ from the presence of termite mounds on the plain south of the present town. These ants were a favourite food for the Aborigines each spring when, for about two months, the women spent many hours digging into the mounds and separating termites from mound earth by rocking them in wooden cradles and bark troughs. Other sources suggest it is a corruption of an Aboriginal word kadijina, meaning ‘lizard place’ (kadi - ‘lizard’, jina - ‘place’); this name was The stone building from the Cornwall Mine near Kadina, re-erected at applied, also, to an Aboriginal camp on the south the Elder Shaft at the Wallaroo Mines side of the town. The town of Kadina was offered for sale on 28 March 1861, the Hundred of Kadina, County of Daly, on 12 June 1862 and Kadina East proclaimed on 13 June 1907. Mr F. Ward, of Howard St, North Kensington, commented on ‘the first regular coaches between Kadina and the GPO’ and said that ‘I had been in the employ of the late Wm.

  • At the Constant Recurrence of Inappropriate Names
    M It has frequently been a matter of deep regret - we had almost said disgust - at the constant recurrence of inappropriate names given to new villages or towns in the various colonies of Australia… We submit that in naming a new locality reference should be made to some great feature or peculiarity in the same, and in most cases, not all certainly, the Native Names especially of South Australia, will be found euphonious, at any rate more expressive than those adopted by the settlers. (Border Watch, 10 January 1862) Maaoope - The Boandik people had a word mooeyup meaning ‘edible root’, while the Penola historian, Peter Rymill, says that: One local opinion has it that ‘Maa-ooup’, as it was originally pronounced, was derived from the call of the bullfrog. However, this amphibian (Limnodynastes dumerilii) utters a single, short note, sounding like the ‘bonk’ of a flat banjo string, to which its mate will sometimes reply ‘bonk-bonk’. Another opinion, originating from the Dickson family, is that ‘Maaoupe’ [sic] is evocative of the cry of the bittern (Botaurus poiciloptilus); a deep, resonant, two-syllable booming, likened to the bellowing of a bull (as its generic name, Bo[s] taurus, suggests). Incidentally, it is likely that the haunting call of this bird gave rise to the widespread myth of the fabulous bunyip. Dr James Dickson is acknowledged as being the pioneer of Maaoupe [sic] Station, 9 miles (15km) north- west of Penola in 1846. Remembered as a north-countryman, he was probably born into a medical family near Romaldkirk, Yorkshire, in 1809.

    REGISTER NOMINATION REPORT Date: 26/ 4/84 Item Reference: 6628-11524 BEIAIR RAILWAY STATION RAILWAY RESERVE BELAIR HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE Historically, the Belair Railway Station is significant because of its association with the construction of the Adelaide-Nairne Railway in 1879-83. The line was an ambitious engineering feat undertaken to link Adelaide ultimately with Melbourne and the Eastern States. Built during a tine of rapid railway expansion, the Station later served as an access point to SA' s first National Park. Architecturally, the station buildings are a gocd example of 19th Century timber, iron and steel design utilised for secondary stops along railway routes. As a coherent complex, the station provides a scarce example still relatively intact. Environmentally, the station is isolated fran the surrounding urban landsca:i;:e, and because of its position by a deep cutting and adjacent Belair Recreation Park does not provide a landmark. It its imnediate context hcwever, the station is remarkable. The Integrity of the Station is intact, with brick toilet block set unobtrusively back between signal box and waiting shed. NOMINATION SOURCE/THREAT/OWNER This report has been prepared as a result of 3 public naninations, including one that has naninated the entire Adelaide to Mt. Lofty line as an historic item. FollCMTing a survey of the major stations along the line, the Branch has prepared this report on the basis of Belair Railway Station's fidelity to original design and form and absence of intrusive environmental elerrents. Controlled by S.T.A., the station is on s. 1201 as a railway reserve and.
