Built for Captain Bacchus between 1846-1847, no building in Bacchus Marsh symbolises our pastoral and colonial history as elegantly as the Manor House. Framed with freestone quoins and with its central entrance and windows strikingly outlined in the same material, the Manor House expresses the dignified symmetry of the Georgian era. On Wednesday the 14th of August, a sizeable group of BMDHS members took the opportunity to visit this historic building, thanks to the generosity of the current owner, Marie Gosnold.

  • Moorabool Shire Council Submission to the PADR
    Niluksha Herath 26 June, 2019 Manager Western Victorian Renewable Integration RIT-T Australian Energy Market Operator Via electronic lodgement File: 13/03/010 [email protected] Dear Niluksha, MOORABOOBL SHIRE COUNCIL SUBMISSION - WESTERN VICTORIAN RENEWABLE INTEGRATION PROJECT ASSESSMENT DRAFT REPORT Introduction Moorabool Shire Council (the Shire) welcomes the opportunity to provide a submission in response to the Western Victoria Renewable Integration Project Assessment Draft Report (PADR). We thank the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) for their recent briefing and the opportunity to provide this submission. The Shire recognises the importance of this significant renewable energy infrastructure project and applauds AEMO for commencing a project that has the potential to provide significant community benefit including increased employment opportunities, not just for Moorabool Shire residents but more broadly across Western Victoria. The Shire is generally supportive of renewable energy, which is evidenced through the substantial number of wind farms that are both operational and under construction within the municipality. However, the Shire is also mindful of achieving a balanced outcome where the amenity of the Shire is not unreasonably compromised by the visual intrusion that such infrastructure projects can have on the landscape and angst this causes within the community. As per our recent briefing from AEMO, it is understood that there is currently insufficient capacity within the existing transmission infrastructure to enable the amount of proposed renewable energy generation in Western Victoria. As a result, AEMO is undertaking a Regulatory Investment Test for Transmission (RIT-T) to assess the viability of increasing transmission network capacity in the Western Victoria region, to facilitate the efficient connection and operation of new and existing generation in the region.

  • Darley-Power-Fight.Pdf
    Response to the Renewable Energy Zone Development Plan Directions Paper I am contacting you to provide feedback on the State Government of Victoria REZ Development Plan Directions Paper with specific reference to the Western: V3 Project, the Western Victoria Transmission Network Project (WVTNP) North Ballarat to Bulgana. This project involves constructing a 500kV overhead transmission line from North Ballarat to Sydenham. The project has been identified in the REZ Development Plan Directions Paper as having a ‘High Risk’ of delivery for the following reasons: • Project within greenfield area therefore vegetation clearing required. • Infrastructure close to sensitive areas • Conflicting land use • Potential conflicting regarding future residential development. • Potential community concerns regarding increased visual impacts and environmental impacts. The proponent for the WVTNP, AusNet Services, has identified an Area of Interest (AoI) and has further narrowed potential corridors, one of these is immediately north of Darley between existing residential and the Lerderderg State Park. I am the spokesperson for Darley Power Fight, a group representing communities in Darley, Coimadai and Merrimu, Victoria. We are in full support of Renewable Energy Zones provided associated projects are delivered through effective stakeholder consultation with consideration of communities, the environment, and economic impacts. The current regulatory framework does not consider the projects disbenefit and only considers project cost versus economic benefit

    15 December 2017 Moorabool Shire Council PO Box 18 Ballan VIC 3342 Submitted via [email protected] SUBJECT: BACCHUS MARSH URBAN GROWTH FRAMEWORK Cement Concrete & Aggregates Australia (CCAA) welcomes the opportunity to provide a submission to the Moorabool Shire Council on Planning Scheme Amendment C81 - Bacchus Marsh Urban Growth Framework. CCAA is the peak industry body for the heavy construction materials industry in Australia including the cement, pre-mixed concrete and extractive industries. For your information, a list of CCAA Victoria’s members is provided in Appendix 1. CCAA members nationally account for 85% of total industry output, which contributes nearly $12 billion to Gross Domestic Product, employ 18,000 Australians directly and supporting the employment of a further 89,000 people. CCAA members produce and supply the heavy construction materials that are used to construct Victoria’s infrastructure. Providing both the raw material and finished product, heavy construction materials contribute to the construction of our roads, railways, bridges, ports, airports, hospitals and schools. CCAA’s members service local, regional and national building, construction and infrastructure markets. The reliable and cost-effective supply to these markets is fundamental to sustainable growth and it is CCAA’s aim to promote policies that recognise the importance of these materials to Australia’s sustainable future. Appropriate land use planning that recognises and protects state significant extractive resources while managing local communities and the environment is a key industry priority. Resources must be protected from incompatible land use as their location is determined by geological conditions, which cannot be changed. Resources must also be located close to their market as transportation is a significant cost of operations.

  • Maddingley Energy Precinct
    CASE STUDY Maddingley Energy Precinct What we are doing We are working hard to develop Australia’s first Waste to Energy facility. This technology is already operating at 4,000 sites globally with the supplier installing a further 40 sites annually. We will create jobs, help alleviate the waste management crisis in Victoria and create a sustainable base-load supply of electricity. We will avoid thousands of tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum. The project will maximise the value from the diverted waste and has the potential to expand once established. Waste, siting, and technical solutions have all been secured. Testing of the waste shows high energy content with easily managed emissions. How we are doing it Waste to Energy While undeveloped in Australia the WTE industry is well established globally. There are thousands of plants in operation, using differing technology to convert waste into energy and reduce landfill. Japan is a leader in the field, with almost no landfills in the country. Europe also has a large number of WTE facilities, driven by the restriction on space. Victoria has adopted European standards for emissions for WTE, making technology selection more straight forward. The Process Calleja Transport will deliver 100,000 tonnes per annum of appropriate waste to the facility from their transfer stations. Waste will be sorted to ensure integrity of feedstock. The indoor sorting facility will ensure the waste standard, minimising emissions and maximising recycling. Waste will be shredded and combusted in a controlled environment to power the steam turbines. The steam turbines will produce a base-load supply of 10MW of electricity to the grid.
