    1. Gina Rinehart $14.02billion from Resources Chairman – Hancock Prospecting Residence: Perth Wealth last year: $20.01b Rank last year: 1 A plunging iron ore price has made a big dent in Gina Rinehart’s wealth. But so vast are her mining assets that Rinehart, chairman of Hancock Prospecting, maintains her position as Australia’s richest person in 2015. Work is continuing on her $10billion Roy Hill project in Western Australia, although it has been hit by doubts over its short-term viability given falling commodity prices and safety issues. Rinehart is pressing ahead and expects the first shipment late in 2015. Most of her wealth comes from huge royalty cheques from Rio Tinto, which mines vast swaths of tenements pegged by Rinehart’s late father, Lang Hancock, in the 1950s and 1960s. Rinehart's wealth has been subject to a long running family dispute with a court ruling in May that eldest daughter Bianca should become head of the $5b family trust. 2. Anthony Pratt & Family $10.76billion from manufacturing and investment Executive Chairman – Visy Residence: Melbourne Wealth last year: $7.6billion Rank last year: 2 Anthony Pratt’s bet on a recovering United States economy is paying off. The value of his US-based Pratt Industries has surged this year thanks to an improving manufacturing sector and a lower Australian dollar. Pratt is also executive chairman of box maker and recycling business Visy, based in Melbourne. Visy is Australia’s largest private company by revenue and the biggest Australian-owned employer in the US. Pratt inherited the Visy leadership from his late father Richard in 2009, though the firm’s ownership is shared with sisters Heloise Waislitz and Fiona Geminder.

  • Chapter 7 Key Assessment Requirements
    Chapter 7 Key assessment requirements 7.1 Heritage and archaeology An Archaeological Management Plan and Heritage Impact Statement for the project was prepared by Godden Mackay Logan Pty Ltd (2009). A summary of the findings of the assessment is provided in this section. The full report is provided in Appendix B. 7.1.1 Methodology The assessment was undertaken following a thorough conservation planning process. It considered potential Aboriginal and historical archaeological resources. The methodology was based on the guidelines contained in the NSW Heritage Manual and the Archaeological Assessments (Department of Urban Affairs and Planning and the Heritage Council of NSW, 1996) and applies the principles contained in The Burra Charter: The Australia ICOMOS Charter for Places of Cultural Significance 1999. 7.1.2 Existing environment History of Bennelong Point There has been development on Bennelong Point since the earliest period of European settlement in Sydney Cove between 1788 and 1795, when Bennelong Point was the location of Bennelong’s brick hut and a salt works and windmill. The early settlers also recognised the defensive value of Bennelong Point and a redoubt was constructed in 1789, which was later replaced by a ‘half moon battery’ in 1798. Work commenced on the construction of a fort (Fort Macquarie) at the northern tip of Bennelong Point in 1817, with large parts of the rest of the peninsula and surrounding area being reserved for parks and public space. Fort Macquarie dominated the area between 1817 and 1901. In the late nineteenth century the western shore of Bennelong Point was converted for use by trading companies for major longshore wool, mail and passenger wharves, whilst the western rampart of the fort was demolished to make way for facilities associated with the P&O operation that dominated the western shore.

The Plan, which has been prepared after consultation with NSW Police, meets the relevant legislative and regulatory requirements with respect to the Premises (including under the development consent SSD-9794) and complements more detailed operational guidelines, including those in the Sydney Opera House (SOH) Commercial Operations Manual: Food and Beverage Operators and the SOH Operational Noise and Vibration Management Plan (Attached) The Plan provides for the ongoing management of the Lower Concourse venues in a manner which will ensure that: • The Premises is properly managed, risks have been assessed and patrons are safe; • Complaints are managed appropriately; and • The operation of the Premises does not impact detrimentally upon or detract from the amenity of the surrounding community.

Those liquor licences may also provide that that the licensee has an obligation to have a plan of management (POM) and if so, the Operator must: • Maintain its POM in accordance with its obligations under the licence (including, where relevant, by making it available to SOHT and the NSW police); and • Ensuring that the POM is not inconsistent with this Plan.

  • The Sydney Harbour YHA
    Case Study : The Sydney Harbour YHA The Rocks area The Rocks is the oldest district of Sydney and, arguably, one of its most important in terms of the city’s European settlement history. Dating back to the 1790s CE, The Rocks was a mainly convict area where they and their families built their homes. Archaeological evidence from what is now known as The Big Dig site suggests the convicts living here had a far better standard of living than their counterparts did back in Britain and Ireland. The Rocks grew rapidly and, by 1900, it was an area characterised by tightly-packed housing (see picture below) leased by the lower-skilled, working classes. The area was frequently referred to in official reports and sensationalised by journalists as a dirty slum. Today the area contains many buildings dating back to the early 19th century and includes several historical museums, including the Susannah Place Museum and The Rocks Discovery Museum. Because of its historical importance to Sydney, great care has been taken to preserve its buildings and the wider neighbourhood. Of course, Australia was occupied tens of thousands of years before European sailors started to circumnavigate, then land on its continent. In most instances ancient, indigenous populations do not leave heavy traces of their occupation and management of the landscape. However archaeological excavations nearby to The Rocks have, for example, revealed a camp fire dating to the 1400s CE, which evidenced many meals of snapper fish and rock oysters. © UTS:CAREERS with UTS FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND IT 14-Feb-14 1 From its earliest European settlement until relatively recently, The Rocks held a reputation as a dangerous place.
