Review of Existing Strategies and Objectives Bourke has identified culture, location and history as the basis of its tourism industry. The Bourke Tourism Strategy 2009 identifies in its Mission Statement; Through strategic planning and development, Bourke Shire Council aims to increase the number of visitors coming to the region and to ensure that they have a quality experience while in Bourke. Through this planning and development, we will increase the welfare of the town through greater visitor spending and pass on our rich history and experiences. Bourke identifies the need to develop a tourism industry for “greater visitor spending” that will result in economic benefits to business and community. The Bourke Tourism Strategy 2009 also identifies the following objectives; • Establish trends in the visitation to Bourke • Plan strategies for the development of Bourke tourism • Increase visitation • Increase the satisfaction level of visitors to Bourke and encourage positive word of mouth promotion • Segment the Bourke tourism market and establish marketing strategies • Evaluate the effectiveness of tourism strategies • Work collaboratively with stakeholders to promote Bourke and foster development • Bourke identifies the need to develop a tourism industry for “greater visitor spending” that will result in economic benefits to business and community In addition to the above objectives, Bourke Shire Council also acknowledges the need to enhance tourist experiences in the Bourke CBD by; • Acknowledge and promote Aboriginal Heritage and Culture • Improve access for pedestrian and bicycle traffic in the CBD of Bourke • Ensure there are facilities for all visitors and tourists – children, families, couples, aged and disabled – that provide engagement and access • Enhance visitor experiences with a push / pull strategy to encourage visitors to spend more time in the CBD, resulting in increased foot traffic for businesses Tourism is a vital part of the Bourke economy, with most businesses being direct or indirect beneficiaries – more visitors, more foot traffic, more spending in Bourke, means more economic activity in the community. 5 3. Review of Existing Infrastructure in the CBD This document identifies the CBD of Bourke as the following area; Significant changes and enhancement to community infrastructure has taken place throughout the Bourke CBD over the past 2 years. Projects indicated in green and with a tick - Theses identify current areas that have recently undergone considerable improvements, enhancing the community and visitor infrastructure Projects indicated in red and with a cross – Theses identify current areas that require strengthening to capitalise on the infrastructure beautification of the Bourke CBD ?

Oxley Street A $1.5M redevelopment of Oxley Street is nearly complete. The development aims to stimulate commercial renewal in the town centre and includes features to make: • Oxley Street a more attractive destination • Future design links to Sturt Street • The legal area more attractive precinct • Clear connections to encourage the integration of Oxley Street with Sturt Street and the Wharf • A better, more comfortable and safer public domain • Better access through the centre for pedestrians • Encourage high quality design of business frontages and increased sustainability. Royal Park Developments in Oxley Street Darling Park Amphitheatre Darling Park Amphitheatre has been funded ($180K) by the Drought Communities Fund. This project includes a community amphitheatre located at "Darling Park" - seating structures, building and installing garden beds / landscape infrastructure, planting lawns and gardens. The creation of a public space for local and interstate performances, outdoor meeting place and community hub for social engagement will improve the "liveability" of Bourke. This project will tie the main street to the River creating a social and retail "link" between the main street and businesses around the Wharf area. This project will contribute to the economic activity of the region and the retention of business and services particularly benefits to the tourism industry with additional infrastructure to support community events Wally Mitchell Wharf Precinct - Wharf Re-Decking Drought Communities Funding of $60K received and project completed. Wal Mitchell Wharf Precinct is identified as a pivotal tourist attraction and piece of community infrastructure in Sturt Street, this area is a priority for the community and Council to develop and maintain. This public space / Wharf is used daily by visitors to Bourke and residents of Bourke - the number of users is exponential - Families, children, youth, sporting groups, schools, PCYC, NFP organisations, Aboriginal Community and visitors to Bourke. Walkway to BOB Centre – Stages 1 and 2 Stage 1 completed - $100,000, funded by Stronger Country Communities Fund. Stage 1 of the Bourke Levee Bank Tourist Walk involves a 250M concrete pedestrian / cycle path from Wal Mitchell Precinct in Sturt Street, running along the top of the existing town levee to Richard Street before ramping down onto Darling Street and then along the Darling River to the North of Bourke township. Stage 2 – commenced - $100,000, funded by Stronger Country Communities Fund. Stage 2 of the Bourke Levee Bank Tourist Walk involves a sealed walk-way / cycle way from Richard Street to the Back-O-Bourke Centre. Sturt Street / Wharf Precinct Place Making Funding of $300K has been secured from Stronger Country Communities Fund Round 2 - project and works have commenced and are due to be completed by mid-2020. The Wally Mitchell Wharf Precinct has within its bounds Bourke Wharf, retail shops, public toilets, access to Crossly Engine and access to Darling River. This area will be developed to create an outdoor space for residents and visitors, increased disabled access, pedestrian access and parking. The area will be more inviting for foot traffic to visit the Wharf area and this will lead onto the walkway connecting Bourke township to the Back O Bourke Centre. Bourke Men’s Shed, Community Garden and Gallery This facility was purchased by Bourke Shire Council in 2015 as a community garden and art space. This facility has potential as a place of interest for tourists to purchase local arts and crafts. Muda Aboriginal Art Space and Gallery Land and buildings at 26 Oxley St, Bourke, have been purchased as an aboriginal art and culture gallery and centre. The premises has, in the past, been used for a two- year period for this identical purpose and was found to be ideal in both location and capacity. With currently 40 known indigenous male artists, in Bourke and the potential of both female and indigenous youth artists there is a great need for a place where artists can produce and sell their work. This project has been enthusiastically embraced

  • “Hottest Year on Record” in Australia
    ALBERT PARKER, CLIFFORD D. OLLIER QUAESTIONES GEOGRAPHICAE 36(1) • 2017 POLEMIC PAPER1 DISCUSSION OF THE “HOTTEST YEAR ON RECORD” IN AUSTRALIA ALBERT PARKER1, CLIFFORD D. OLLIER2 1School of Engineering and Physical Science, James Cook University, Townsville, Australia 2School of Earth and Environment, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, Australia Manuscript received: October 11, 2016 Revised version: February 03, 2017 PARKER, A., OLLIER, C.D., 2017. Discussion of the “hottest year on record” in Australia. Quaestiones Geographicae 36(1), Bogucki Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Poznań, pp. 79–91, 7 figs, 1 table. ABSTRACT: The global temperature trends provided by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology are artificially exaggerated due to subjective and unidirectional adjustments of recorded values. The present paper aims to promote the use of the raw stations’ data corrected only for urban heat island formation. The longer temperature records of Australia exhibit significant oscillations with a strong quasi-60 years’ signature of downward phases 1880 to 1910, 1940 to 1970 and 2000 to present, and upwards phases 1910 to 1940 and 1970 to 2000. A longer oscillation with downward phase until 1910 and an upwards phase afterwards is also detected. The warming since 1910 occurred at a nearly constant rate. Over the full length of the long Australian records since the end of the 1800s, there is no sign of warming or increased occur- rence of extreme events. The monthly highest and mean maximum temperatures do not exhibit any positive trend. The differences between monthly highest and lowest, or monthly mean maximum and mean minimum temperatures, are all reducing because of urban heat island formation.

  • Gundabooka National Park Report Compr
    Ecological Study of the Endangered Bristle-nosed bat (Mormopterus ‘species 6’) and Survey of Microchiropteran Bats in Gundabooka National Park Report for NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service Upper Darling Region Michael Pennay NSW Department of Environment & Conservation PO Box 733, Queanbeyan NSW 2620 2 Summary The primary aim of this study was to ascertain basic ecological information about the Endangered Bristle-nosed Bat (Mormopterus ‘species 6’) The Bristle-nosed bat is one of Australia’s least known microbats, known from only 22 specimens captured at scattered locations in the arid and semi arid regions of central Australia, Queensland and north-western New South Wales. Nothing is known of its ecology. It is listed as Endangered in NSW on the basis of its rarity (only 6 individuals known prior to this study) and Data deficient by the IUCN. Recent genetic investigations into the taxonomy of Australian molossids suggests that the Bristle-nosed bat is currently misplaced and in fact belongs in a monotypic genus separate from other Australian Mormopterus, further elevating the conservation significance of the species on the basis of genetic uniqueness (Reardon 2006). During a 10 day study in November 2005 10 Bristle-nosed bats were trapped at Gundabooka National Park in north-western NSW. Using radio transmitters the bats were tracked to locate roosts and monitor the foraging behaviour of the species. General behavioural and morphological observations including diet, flight patterns, airframe design and echolocation call were also recorded. Key Results · Three diurnal roosts were located including one maternity roost · The bats were found to roost communally, sometimes with other species · Roosts were all located in Bimbil Box and Inland Red Box tree hollows with tiny entrances amongst the fringing vegetation of a large dry creek channel (Yanda Creek) · Both foraging activity and roost locations were significantly biased in favour of riparian habitat along Yanda creek channel and avoiding the surrounding mulga shrublands.

  • Modelling Australian and Global Temperatures
    Modelling Australian and Global Temperatures: What’s Wrong? Bourke and Amberley as Case Studies Paper by Jennifer Marohasy, John Abbot, Ken Stewart and Dennis Jensen, with the talk to be delivered by Jennifer Marohasy at the invitation of the Sydney Institute on Wednesday 25 June 2014 at the Gallipoli Club On 3rd January this year, David Jones, Manager of Climate Monitoring and Predictions at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology said on ABC radio that: “We know every place across Australia is getting hotter, and very similarly almost every place on this planet. So, you know, we know it is getting hotter and we know it will continue to get hotter. It’s a reality, and something we will be living with for the rest of this century.” That morning the Bureau of Meteorology had put out a media release headed “hottest year on record” explaining that in 2013 the average annual temperature for Australia was 1.20 degree C above the long-term average of 21.8 degree C, breaking the previous record set in 2005 by 0.17 degree C. Such reference to changes in fractions of a degree suggests the Bureau has very accurate temperature records. This paper considers the records for Bourke and Amberley and the methodology employed by the Bureau in compiling the annual statistics from such temperature series. We will also consider how NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) homogenizes data from Amberley in the development of its annual global mean temperature. Homogenization refers to a process of changing the actual temperature records using mathematical algorithms.

  • Knowing El Niño: Integrating Knowledges of Managing Climate
    Knowing El Niño: Integrating knowledges of managing climate variability in the eastern Australian rangelands Peat Leith BSc (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, School of Geography and Environmental Studies, University of Tasmania, April 2009. i Declaration This thesis contains no material that has been accepted for the award of any other higher degree or graduate diploma in any tertiary institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except when due reference is made in the text of the thesis. ............................................................................... Peat Leith This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. ............................................................................... Peat Leith ii Abstract Climate variability in Australia’s rangelands leads to large swings in agricultural productivity from year to year. Contemporary policy has framed such variability as a manageable risk and Australian governments have fostered the development of a scientific community to assist farmers and graziers to manage climate risk via models, predictions and various information products. Meanwhile, farmers and graziers make decisions on the basis of diverse forms of information and knowledge. This thesis is a qualitative analysis of the knowledge boundaries among these scientific and lay communities. I conducted the research in three parts. Firstly, I undertook and analysed 35 in- depth, semi-structured interviews with Australian scientists involved in research, development and extension of climate-related risk management tools. These technologies are based on climate models, which predict the impacts or dynamics of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and other major climatic fluctuations.
