To compile a comprehensive profile of the contemporary social environment of the East Kimberley region utilising both existing information sources and limited fieldwork. 2. Develop and utilise appropriate methodological approaches to social impact assessment within a multi-disciplinary framework. 3. Assess the social impact of major public and private developments of the East Kimberley region's resources (physical, mineral and environmental) on resident Aboriginal communities. Attempt to identify problems/issues which, while possibly dormant at present, are likely to have implications that will affect communities at some stage in the future. 4. Establish a framework to allow the dissemination of research results to Aboriginal communities so as to enable them to develop their own strategies for dealing with social impact issues. 5. To identify in consultation with Governments and regional interests issues and problems which may be susceptible to further research.

  • Groundwater Resource Assessment and Conceptualization in the Pilbara Region, Western Australia
    Earth Systems and Environment https://doi.org/10.1007/s41748-018-0051-0 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Groundwater Resource Assessment and Conceptualization in the Pilbara Region, Western Australia Rodrigo Rojas1 · Philip Commander2 · Don McFarlane3,4 · Riasat Ali5 · Warrick Dawes3 · Olga Barron3 · Geof Hodgson3 · Steve Charles3 Received: 25 January 2018 / Accepted: 8 May 2018 © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The Pilbara region is one of the most important mining hubs in Australia. It is also a region characterised by an extreme climate, featuring environmental assets of national signifcance, and considered a valued land by indigenous people. Given the arid conditions, surface water is scarce, shows large variability, and is an unreliable source of water for drinking and industrial/mining purposes. In such conditions, groundwater has become a strategic resource in the Pilbara region. To date, however, an integrated regional characterization and conceptualization of the occurrence of groundwater resources in this region were missing. This article addresses this gap by integrating disperse knowledge, collating available data on aquifer properties, by reviewing groundwater systems (aquifer types) present in the region and identifying their potential, and propos- ing conceptualizations for the occurrence and functioning of the groundwater systems identifed. Results show that aquifers across the Pilbara Region vary substantially and can be classifed in seven main types: coastal alluvial systems, concealed channel

  • Yule River Water Reserve Water Source Protection Plan Port Hedland
    Important information The Yule River Water Reserve water source protection plan (2000) has been reviewed. Please ensure you read the Yule drinking water source protection review (2019, WRP no.141) alongside this 2000 plan to obtain all of the information about this drinking water source. The 2019 review considers changes that have occurred in and around the Yule River Water Reserve since the completion of the 2000 plan. Additional recommendations have been prepared to ensure the ongoing protection of this public drinking water source area: amending the boundary under the Country Areas Water Supply Act 1947 (WA) to reflect more recent groundwater modelling information. You can find the 2019 Yule River Water Reserve drinking water source protection review at www.dwer.wa.gov.au or by contacting the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation on +61 8 6364 7000 or [email protected].

  • Original Distribution of Trichosurus Vulpecula (Marsupialia: Phalangeridae) in Western Australia, with Particular Reference to Occurrence Outside the Southwest
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 95: 83–93, 2012 Original distribution of Trichosurus vulpecula (Marsupialia: Phalangeridae) in Western Australia, with particular reference to occurrence outside the southwest I ABBOTT Department of Environment and Conservation, Locked Bag 104, Bentley Delivery Centre, WA 6983, Australia. ! [email protected] Trichosurus vulpecula, ‘common brushtail possum’, is currently considered to have never occurred in ~20% of Western Australia. This paper reports the results of a survey of historical sources, showing that the species was widely known to Aborigines and was once more broadly distributed, and may have occurred across almost all of Western Australia in 1829, the year of first settlement by Europeans. A remarkable contraction in geographical range commenced ca 1880, caused by an epizootic, and continued from ca 1920–1960 as a result of depredation by foxes (Vulpes vulpes). Some 220 Aboriginal names from outside the southwest were discovered. These are tabulated, and most can be reduced to seven regional names. Several or all of these names appear suitable for adoption into regional use in Western Australia. The current vernacular name is now inaccurate (the species is no longer common anywhere in Western Australia and is not closely related to the Virginia opossum, Didelphys virginiana, which belongs to a different family of marsupials), and should be replaced by one or more Aboriginal names. KEYWORDS: Aboriginal names, biogeography, brushtail possum, ecological history, mammal, regional extinction, Trichosurus vulpecula INTRODUCTION 1. Specimens held in the collection of the Western Australian Museum (Kitchener & Vicker 1981) Trichosurus vulpecula, known as the ‘common brushtail possum’ (Kerle & How 2008), until recent times occurred 2.
