Gold Coast Firstly, I would like to thank all surf lifesavers for their efforts preparing for this season. Surf Life Saving NSW President, David Murray had the pleasure of raising the flags at Bronte Beach to 16 OCT celebrate the start of the 2016/17 patrol season. Surf Club Open Day A lot has been going on in Surf Life Saving since the season Surf Clubs in NSW ended in April. A large contingent of NSW athletes rounded off their season at the 2016 Aussies on the Sunshine Coast. There have been plenty of opportunities for our surf sport athletes to 11-13 NOV compete over winter in the IRB and Pool Rescue Competitions. Senior Performance Many of our patrolling members have been involved in the Academy emergency callout system and have responded to requests for Narrabeen, Sydney assistance during winter, and we thank them for their efforts. We’ve also welcomed two new members to the Board after our 18-20 NOV recent elections.

  • Severe Storms on the East Coast of Australia 1770–2008
    SEVERE STORMS ON THE EAST COAST OF AUSTRALIA 1770 – 2008 Jeff Callaghan Research Fellow, Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Qld Formerly Head Severe Storm Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane Dr Peter Helman Senior Research Fellow, Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Qld Published by Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Queensland 10 November 2008 This publication is copyright. Apart from any fair dealing for the purpose of private study, research, criticism or review, as permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission from the publisher. ISBN: 978-1-921291-50-0 Foreword Severe storms can cause dramatic changes to the coast and devastation to our settlements. If we look back through history, to the first European observations by James Cook and Joseph Banks on Endeavour in 1770, we can improve our understanding of the nature of storms and indeed climate on the east coast. In times of climate change, it is essential that we understand natural climate variability that occurs in Australia. Looking back as far as we can is essential to understand how climate is likely to behave in the future. Studying coastal climate through this chronology is one element of the process. Analysis of the records has already given an indication that east coast climate fluctuates between phases of storminess and drought that can last for decades. Although records are fragmentary and not suitable for statistical analysis, patterns and climate theory can be derived. The dependence on shipping for transport and goods since European settlement ensures a good source of information on storms that gradually improves over time.

  • Estimation of the Economic Importance of Beaches in Sydney, Australia, and Implications for Management
    Estimation of the economic importance of beaches in Sydney, Australia, and implications for management David Anning School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences University of New South Wales Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the award of the degree Doctorate of Philosophy March, 2012 THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Anning First name: David Other name/s: Bruce Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences Faculty: Science Title: Estimation of the economic importance of beaches in Sydney, Australia, and implications for management Abstract This thesis sought to estimate the economic value of selected Sydney beaches, in order to provide the necessary information to allow local and State government agencies to identify the most appropriate management response to projected climate change impacts. Three case-study sites (Collaroy-Narrabeen, Manly Ocean Beach, and a combined site in the Hawkesbury River that included the Brooklyn Baths and Dangar Island) were selected via a weighted-criteria method using an expert panel. Valuation methods were selected in response to the key coastal management challenges in the region, vulnerability to inundation and shoreline recession. A truncated negative binomial travel cost model identified consumer surplus values of between AUD$2.72 and $20.63 for a beach day, depending on the site under investigation and the specification of the cost parameter. These are similar to those in the published literature. Aggregate values are derived only for comparison with costs of management options, due to concerns about the quality of visitation information.

  • 1 CHAPTER 1 . INTRODUCTION Sydney Beaches and Indeed The
    1 CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION Sydney Beaches and indeed the majority of beaches along the South East coast of Australia are subject to orthogonal rather than longshore wave-power and for this reason, sediment movement is predominantly onshore-offshore. Studies of wave-sediment interaction at Narrabeen (Short, in press) suggest that the beach system operates as a compartment with the seaward boundary marked by a textural discontinuity. A number of studies along the Sydney Coast, have described local sediment (Gibbons, Dee Why 1967), rip-currents (McKenzie, 1958), Beach erosion (Foster et al, Cronulla, 1963)» Bilgola, 1966, Avalon, 1967, Collaroy, 1968) and energy-sediment inter­ action (Cowell, Palm Beach, 1975), (Bryant, Palm Beach, 1976), (Lees, Cronulla, 1977), (Phillips, Dee Why - Long Reef, 1977). However, the submarine extent of the Sydney Beaches remains an unknown through essential factor in understanding beach s e dim en t budget s. Initially, this thesis was aimed at identifying the seaward extent of each beach system in terms of the null- point hypothesis and thus, the textural discontinuity. The null-point concept and the closely related equilibrium profile attempts to model the complex nearshore wave-sediment interaction. The seaward-fining textural gradient characteristic of the nearshore zone, (Swift et al, 1971) is a result of the relationship between average sediment particle size and the amount of wave energy penetrating the sea-bed. The null-point concept utilizes asymmetric wave ripples as the fundamental hydraulic mechanism for nearshore transport. For any given grain size, a line of no movement or null-line exists where gravity and fluid forces balance and the grains are in a state of oscillating equilibrium (Swift, 1970).

    Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program Volume 1 Data Report 2018-19 Commercial-in-Confidence Sydney Water 1 Smith Street, Parramatta, NSW Australia 2150 PO Box 399 Parramatta NSW 2124 Report version: STSIMP Data Report 2018-19 Volume 1 Final Cover photo: Sydney Harbour, photographed by Joshua Plush © Sydney Water 2019 This work is copyright. It may be reproduced for study, research or training purposes subject to the inclusion of an acknowledgement of the source and no commercial usage or sale. Reproduction for purposes other than those listed requires permission from Sydney Water. Executive summary Background Sydney Water operates 23 wastewater treatment systems and each system has an Environment Protection Licence (EPL) regulated by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). Each EPL specifies the minimum performance standards and monitoring that is required. The Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program (STSIMP) commenced in 2008 to satisfy condition M5.1a of our EPLs. The results are reported to the NSW EPA every year. The STSIMP aims to monitor the environment within Sydney Water’s area of operations to determine general trends in water quality over time, monitor Sydney Water’s performance and to determine where Sydney Water’s contribution to water quality may pose a risk to environmental ecosystems and human health. The format and content of 2018-19 Data Report predominantly follows the earlier three reports (2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18). Based on the recent feedback received from the EPA on earlier reports, the chapters and monitoring indicators have been re-arranged in this report to reflect a widely accepted Pressure-State-Response (PSR) framework.
