FRAPT Floodplain Risk Assessment Guidelines
Floodplain Risk Assessment Guidelines for Municipal Councils in Tasmania Guidelines for consistent floodplain risk assessment in Tasmania SESSTATE EMERGENCY SERVICE Guidelines for consistent floodplain risk assessment in Tasmania Floodplain risk assessments in Tasmania Flooding in a natural process. Many towns are located within the floodplain and derive social, economic and environmental benefits from occupying these areas. However, floods can impose significant costs on these communities if flood risk is inadequately managed. Flooding is one of the highest risk natural hazards that pose a threat to Tasmania1. Flooding was the second most costly natural hazard between 1967 and 2005, with the average annual cost of flooding in Tasmania estimated to be $6.9million2. Although many Councils will have their own risk management framework for managing natural hazards, the use of flood study information in local flood risk management decision-making is “…generally inconsistent and limited in some instances”3. Context of these guidelines Councils provide leadership at the municipal level for emergency management in Tasmania. This includes chairing Municipal Emergency Management Committees (MEMCs) that undertake municipal level all-hazards risk assessments and coordinate the treatment of these risks at the local level. Many Councils also directly undertake floodplain risk management activities. These guidelines are aimed at Councils and MEMCs whose risk profile includes significant risks posed by flooding hazards, and are intended to assist with the conduct of detailed flood specific risk assessments that may be required to compliment municipal level all-hazards risk assessments. These Guidelines summarise a method for the assessment of floodplain risks that is consistent with the revised 2015 National Emergency Risk Assessment Guidelines (NERAG)4,5 and the Australian Emergency Management floodplain risk management guideline (AEM7)6.

Black and White Children in Welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940
‘Such a Longing’ Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Naomi Parry PhD August 2007 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Parry First name: Naomi Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: History Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: ‘Such a longing’: Black and white children in welfare in New South Wales and Tasmania, 1880-1940 Abstract 350 words maximum: When the Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission tabled Bringing them home, its report into the separation of indigenous children from their families, it was criticised for failing to consider Indigenous child welfare within the context of contemporary standards. Non-Indigenous people who had experienced out-of-home care also questioned why their stories were not recognised. This thesis addresses those concerns, examining the origins and history of the welfare systems of NSW and Tasmania between 1880 and 1940. Tasmania, which had no specific policies on race or Indigenous children, provides fruitful ground for comparison with NSW, which had separate welfare systems for children defined as Indigenous and non-Indigenous. This thesis draws on the records of these systems to examine the gaps between ideology and policy and practice. The development of welfare systems was uneven, but there are clear trends. In the years 1880 to 1940 non-Indigenous welfare systems placed their faith in boarding-out (fostering) as the most humane method of caring for neglected and destitute children, although institutions and juvenile apprenticeship were never supplanted by fostering. Concepts of child welfare shifted from charity to welfare; that is, from simple removal to social interventions that would assist children's reform.

Frederick Norman Craig MM – 1821 Family
Frederick Norman Craig MM – 1821 Family History Frederick Norman Craig was born on the 6 March 1893, to John and Mary Craig of Adventure Bay, Bruny Island. Both John and Mary were immigrants to Tasmania, Mary travelling with her family from East Prussia aboard the Figaro to Tasmania, and John from Scotland. Mary’s family established the first permanent settlement and commercial farm at Adventure Bay. John and Mary met at Bruny Island and were married on the 11 April 1884, and moved to Adventure Bay with Mary’s family. Mary’s father provided the pair with some of the family land, and part of their original house was a very large hollow tree. They never had a proper house until after the first of their children was born. After the death of Mary’s parents, the Craig’s received the land south of Resolution Creek and named it “Sea View”, a name that land still holds today. Fred was John and Mary’s sixth child, of 17 in total. John and Mary continued farming, shipping small fruits, apples and dairy products to Hobart. John also worked with his sons in the local timber mill. Of their 10 sons, three enlisted in the First World War – William, Fred and George. Interestingly, there is no record on any of their enlistment papers that their mother was German. All three brothers had a different experience with the war. Fred found himself in Gallipoli and the Western Front where he was ultimately killed in action. William, who was taken a Prisoner of War by the Germans two weeks after arriving in France, ultimately returned home to raise a family in Perth.
