Executive Summary
ALKANE RESOURCES LTD - ix - PRELIMINARY ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Tomingley Gold Project Report No. 616/04 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Alkane Resources Ltd (“the Proponent”) proposes to construct and operate the Tomingley Gold Project (“the Project”) located approximately 53km to the southwest of Dubbo and approximately 14km to the north of Peak Hill (Figure 1). The Project would comprise three open cut mines, a processing plant, three waste rock emplacements and a residue storage facility, as well as ancillary activities and associated infrastructure. The Project is classified as a “Major Project” in accordance with Paragraph 5 of Schedule 1 of State Environmental Planning Policy (Major Projects) 2005 (“Major Projects SEPP”). The Project relates to three areas as follows: 1. The Mine Site which would incorporate all areas mining-related activities. 2. The Power Transmission Line Route which would incorporate all areas of the proposed electrical easement for from Peak Hill to the Mine Site. 3. The Water Pipeline Route which would incorporate all areas of proposed disturbance for the proposed water pipeline from two proposed bores located to the east of Narromine to the Mine Site. The Project would include the following components. • Extraction of waste rock and ore material from three open cut areas, namely: – the Caloma Open Cut; – the Wyoming Three Open Cut; and – the Wyoming One Open Cut. • Construction of three waste rock emplacements. • Construction and use of various haul roads, including an underpass under the Newell Highway capable of allowing haul trucks to pass under the highway, and a run-of-mine pad. • Construction and use of a processing plant and office area, incorporating a crushing and grinding circuit, a standard carbon-in-leach processing plant, site offices, workshops, ablutions facilities, stores, car parking, and associated infrastructure. -

Strategic Planning Collated response - PSA Voluntary Notification 17 May 2021 1. Purpose 1.1 For Council to consider and endorse the attached submission (Attachment 1) to Planning Scheme Amendment GC157 which implements the Specific Controls Overlay to facilitate construction of the Federal Government’s Inland Rail project. 2. Background 2.1 The Incorporated Document will be incorporated into the Whittlesea, Mitchell, Strathbogie, Benalla, Wangaratta and Wodonga Planning Schemes (the Planning Schemes) and is made pursuant to section 6(2)(j) of the Planning and Environment Act 1987. 2.2 The Project will utilise the existing corridor and modify or replace existing infrastructure at a number of locations where there is not adequate clearance for double-stacked freight trains. The main components of the Project include 12 discrete project areas (also referred to as ‘enhancement sites’) from Beveridge to Albury where road and rail interfaces do not provide the required horizontal and vertical clearance for double-stacked freight trains. 2.3 The proposed amendment seeks to introduce an Incorporated Document (with conditions) for a Specific Controls Overlay (SCO) which will avoid the need for future planning permits for works associated with the Inland Rail Project. The scope of the project itself is generally limited to the following seven sites within the shire: Broadford-Wandong Road bridge, Wandong Hamilton Street bridge, Broadford Short Street bridge, Broadford Marchbanks Road bridge, Broadford Hume Highway bridge, Tallarook Seymour-Avenel Road bridge, Seymour Hume Highway bridge, Seymour MITCHELL SHIRE COUNCIL Page 436 ORDINARY COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA 28 JUNE 2021 ARTC - SPECIFIC CONTROLS OVERLAY RESPONSE TO PROPOSED INCORPORATED DOCUMENT (CONT.) 3. -
1 Submission to the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade
Submission to the Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee into the impact of Defence training activities and facilities on rural and regional communities by John Cox Summary Increased security at Defence bases is negatively impacting the relationship between local communities and Defence organisations. The reduced access to bases has economic and social impacts for both the community and Defence. A solution is to locate select facilities that require lesser levels of security outside the high security perimeters of bases. Examples are Navy, Army and Airforce Museums. While the museums are used principally in the training of ADF members, museums also serve a valuable purpose in linking communities to the Defence Force. Regional military units need strong links with regional communities; they are neighbours and cooperative arrangements help both parties. It is common for members of local communities to become volunteers as guides and researchers at Defence museums. Social and economic bonds are strengthened through museums attracting visitors from distances away from a rural and regional community. Increased visitation helps local economies. And it helps Defence in connecting to Australians, particularly in support of recruitment. The proposed Armour and Artillery Museum at Puckapunyal/Seymour in Victoria is only one and a half hours drive from Melbourne’s northern and inner suburbs. A day trip from a major population centre is highly marketable and increases visits. The museum project is worth over $20 million. Such investment should be shared with the broader community where possible. Social bonds extend to training at Defence museum facilities for school and tertiary students undertaking related studies. -

Overview of Wheel/Rail Load Environment Caused by Freight Car Suspension Dynamics
34 TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH RECORD 1241 Overview of Wheel/Rail Load Environment Caused by Freight Car Suspension Dynamics SEMIH KALAY AND ALBERT REINSCHMIDT It has been a well-established fact that excessive wheel/rail loads dynamic load factors that represent only the effects of max cause accelerated wheel/rail wear, truck component deterioration, imum dynamic load conditions (7). The most serious problem track damage, and increased potential for derailment. The eco with these types of assumptions is that they neither make any nomic and safety impact of the increased wheel rail loads can only distinction for the effects of suspension design used in differ be ascertained by a total characterization of the wheel/rail loads. In this paper, a comprehensive set of experimental results obtained ent types of freight cars nor describe the variety of track from on-track testing of conventional North American freight cars conditions found in revenue service. Ideally, for design of using both wayside and on-board measurement systems are pre track and fretgh:t car structures, a total description of the load sented. The particular emphasis is given to the wheel/rail loads spectra including low-frequency high-dynamic loads should resulting from suspension dynamics. The dynamic wheel/rail envi be used (8). ronment addressed in this paper is limited to dynamic performance Our purpose in this paper is to provide an overall under regimes such as rock-and-roll and pitch-and-bounce, hunting, and standing of the dynamic load environment encountered under curving. The strong dependence of the dynamic response of a railway vehicle on a truck suspension system has been illustrated typical North American freight cars.
