  • Warrumbungle IDA Report Oct 2017
    Warrumbungle Dark Sky Park Report to IDA, 1 October 2017 Submitted by Fred Watson Chair, Siding Spring Observatory Dark Sky Committee IDA Contact, Warrumbungle Dark Sky Park Working Group 1. General Following the recognition of the Warrumbungle Dark Sky Park (WDSP) by IDA and the subsequent public announcement on 4 July 2016, a Working Group was set up to coordinate the activities of the two major stakeholders in the Park. They are the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), owners and operators of the Park, and the adjacent Siding Spring Observatory (SSO). Working Group membership consists of: Jessica Stokes (NPWS Strategic Programs Officer) (Chair), Rebecca Cass (NPWS Ranger, Acting Area Manager), Louise Clifton (NPWS Zone Team Leader Country Inland) Brad Condon (ANU Site Operations Manager, SSO), Doug Gray (AAO Ops Manager, SSO), Fred Watson (AAO Head of Environment of Lighting, SSO) (IDA Contact) In addition, from September 2017, the services of Marnie Ogg of TravelOgg Pty Ltd. in advising on commercial outreach opportunities in relation to the WDSP have been secured. Marnie was the initiator and coordinator of the original IDA application for the WDSP. Immediately after its formation, a number of circumstances conspired to interrupt the activities of the Working Group. A major restructuring within the NPWS resulted in the loss of the then Area Manager, Mark Fosdick (who served on the original WDSP submission committee), and continues to challenge the contributions of other NPWS Working Group members. A proposal to formally open the park in April 2017 was postponed by NPWS primarily on the grounds that significant media coverage had already been secured following the announcement of the Park, and also that a parallel endeavour by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) enacting new Dark Sky legislation in August 2016 had received significant media coverage (see http://www.planning.nsw.gov.au/Policy-and-Legislation/Environment-and- Heritage/Dark-Sky-Planning.) This legislation is described further in Section 3.
