    Se Non E Vero, E Molto Ben Trovato Issue 440 March 2020 $2 Community news for Wollombi, Laguna and surrounding districts 1 Issue 440 - Our Own News – March 2020 View from the Ridge Top - Is it 1929 all over again?! Monthly Rainfall in the Wollombi Valley Source: BoM Climate Data (2019), Ridgetop Consulting (2020) Monthly rainfall for the Wollombi Valley is highlighted above for years 1928, 1929, 2019 and 2020 (includes a 200mm conservative guesstimate for February 2020). Detailed analysis of rainfall ahead of three key bushfire periods was undertaken for 1929, 1993/4 and 2019/20. In all key fire events, there was very limited Spring rainfall followed by delayed Summer rains. In 1929, this late Summer rain arrived in a major rain event that began on 6th February. This was after the terrible bushfires of 1929 (reported in last month’s OON). In 1994 (not shown), the rains arrived in the January and a more reasonable amount in February. On average, the most rainfall arrives during Summer hence it was reasonable to predict the strong wet end to our current Summer. It was the prolonged period of limited rain that likely helped extend the recent fire activity. Interestingly as February 2020 rainfall unfolds it appears we are following the pattern for 1929 (including relevance of 6th February) unless even more rain arrives and then an event like the 1949 flood beckons! Next month we will explore flooding events in the Valley. If anyone has any access to detailed historical flood information for Wollombi please let the author know.

  • Bylong Coal Project SSD 6367 Statement of Reasons for Decision
    Statement of reasons for decision 18 September 2019 Bylong Coal Project (SSD 6367) 1 INTRODUCTION On 4 October 2018, the NSW Independent Planning Commission (Commission) received from the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (Department) a State significant development application (SSD) 6367 from KEPCO Bylong Australia Pty Ltd (Applicant) to develop and operate an open cut and underground coal mine to recover approximately 124 million tonnes (Mt) of run-of-mine (ROM) coal at a combined rate of up to 6.5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) of ROM coal for a period of 25 years (Project). The Commission is the consent authority in respect of the Applicant’s development application under section 4.5(a) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act) and clause 8A of State Environmental Planning Policy (State and Regional Development) 2011 (SEPP SRD). This is because: • the Project is SSD under section 4.36 of the EP&A Act as the Project constitutes development for the purposes of coal mining, consistent with Schedule 1, clause 5 of the SEPP SRD; and • the Department received more than 25 submissions from the public objecting to the Project. Professor Mary O’Kane AC, Chair of the Commission, nominated Gordon Kirkby (Panel Chair), Wendy Lewin, and Steve O’Connor to constitute the Commission determining the Bylong Coal Project. 1.1 Site and locality According to the Applicant’s Bylong Coal Project Environmental Impact Statement, dated September 2015 (EIS), the Project is a proposed open cut and underground thermal coal mine for a greenfield site in the Bylong Valley.

  • Goulburn River National Park and Munghorn Gap Nature Reserve
    1 GOULBURN RIVER NATIONAL PARK AND MUNGHORN GAP NATURE RESERVE PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service February 2003 2 This plan of management was adopted the Minister for the Environment on 6th February 2003. Acknowledgments: This plan was prepared by staff of the Mudgee Area of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. The assistance of the steering committee for the preparation of the plan of management, particularly Ms Bev Smiles, is gratefully acknowledged. In addition the contributions of the Upper Hunter District Advisory Committee, the Blue Mountains Region Advisory Committee, and those people who made submissions on the draft plan of management are also gratefully acknowledged. Cover photograph of the Goulburn River by Michael Sharp. Crown Copyright 2003: Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgment. 3 ISBN 0 7313 6947 5 4 FOREWORD Goulburn River National Park, conserving approximately 70 161 hectares of dissected sandstone country, and the neighbouring Munghorn Gap Nature Reserve with its 5 935 hectares of sandstone pagoda formation country, both protect landscapes, biology and cultural sites of great value to New South Wales. The national park and nature reserve are located in a transition zone of plants from the south-east, north-west and western parts of the State. The Great Dividing Range is at its lowest elevation in this region and this has resulted in the extension of many plants species characteristic of further west in NSW into the area. In addition a variety of plant species endemic to the Sydney Sandstone reach their northern and western limits in the park and reserve.

  • Turill 1 Core Hole Is Designed to Investigate the Hydrocarbon Potential of PEL 456
    Review of Environmental Factors Core Hole Drilling of Turill No. 1 in PEL 456 - Gunnedah Basin Santos QNT Pty Ltd ABN: 33 083 077 196 Issue date: 04/05/2010 Review of Environmental Factors: Gunnedah Basin Core Hole Drilling: PEL 456 Executive Summary Santos QNT Pty Ltd (Santos) has entered into a Farmin Agreement with the titleholder of PEL 456, Macquarie Energy (Macquarie) to explore for petroleum (in accordance with the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991 (NSW)). Santos has been appointed the Operator for and on behalf of the titleholder under the Farmin Agreement. Condition 1.0 of the PEL 456 licence states that prior to carrying out any drilling activities a Review of Environmental Factors (REF) is required to be submitted to the Department of Industry and Investment (DII) to enable a determination to be made under Part 5 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (NSW). The Turill 1 core hole is designed to investigate the hydrocarbon potential of PEL 456. Discovery of gas resources in this area has the potential to increase the state’s reserves and revenue from coal seam gas and underpin future exploration or production in the region. This REF covers the drilling of Turill 1 core hole only. The Turill No. 1 core hole site is located on privately owned land, zoned General Rural 1(a) under the Merriwa Local Environmental Plan (LEP). The REF provides details of the planning controls for the area and the existing environment. The site proposed for Turill 1 is a privately owned rural property in a gently undulating area, which is presently used for agricultural activities.

The factors are interacting; the fabric of the past is closely woven. In this attempt to understand the Shire's past, and thus its present landscapes and material culture, the subject has been divided into nine themes focusing on key aspects of the Shire's development, and these themes are interrelated in order to reflect the past holistically, as a "fabric".
