Lincoln University Page ii Preface The 40th Annual Conference of the Australian and New Zealand Regional Science Association International (ANZRSAI) was held at the RMIT University Melbourne from 5th to 7th December, 2016, co-hosted with the European Union Centre at RMIT and the RMIT Centre for People, Work and Organisation (with the RMIT Social Change Enabling Platform). A broad range of papers from academics, policy advisors and practitioners was presented to the conference. This publication contains the refereed proceedings of those contributed papers. Participants who submitted their full paper by the due date were eligible to be considered for these refereed proceedings. There were twelve papers submitted to a double blind refereeing process, all of which were accepted for this publication. One was withdrawn by the author. As in previous conferences, I am very grateful to referees for their work within a short timeframe. Three awards were presented at the conference dinner. The John Dickinson Memorial Award for best article in the Australasian Journal of Regional Science 2016 was awarded to Tony O’Malley for his article “Governance and Regional Incomes in Australia” published in volume 22(1), pp. 103-124. The ANZRSAI Award for Best Conference Paper 2016 was awarded to Karim K. Mardaneh, Jerry Courvisanos and Ameeta Jain for their paper “Economic Resilience of Regions: A Longitudinal Study of the Australian Economy from 1986 to 2011”. This paper is the first paper presented in these proceedings. The ANZRSAI Award for Best Conference Paper by a Current or Recent Student 2016 was awarded to Amanda Qian Wu and Marion Myhill for their paper “Going off the Beaten Track: Exploring Chinese International Students’ Motivations for Selecting Regional Australian Higher Education”.. The committee highly commended one other entrant for this Award: Kelbesa Kenea, Susan Kinnear and Delwar Akbar, for their paper “Accessibility of Anbessa City bus service: Analysis of Stakeholders Opinions in Addis Ababa”. I thank all the participants for their involvement in our 40th Annual Conference, particularly those who had travelled some distance from overseas to attend. The international community of regional science scholars is strengthened when people gather to share their research and expertise at conferences such as this.

A robust conceptual framework is required to navigate through underlining elements of vulnerability. An evolutionary model of regional adaptive cycles around four sequential phases in economic activity – reorganisation, exploitation, conservation and release – is adopted in this study as the framework for recognising such phase patterns. A data mining clustering method which utilises a k-means algorithm evaluates the impact of major shocks, notably economic recessions and drought, on four functional groups of regions (metropolitan, periphery, regional and rural). Applying this clustering method to the adaptive cycle model using census data from 1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006 and 2011, the paper identifies patterns of economic resilience in regions by industry categories. Preliminary results show different resilience patterns and varied stability to this resilience for industry/functional regions ranging from non-resilient to very resilient regions. Resilience is about addressing vulnerability, not only by surviving a shock to the system under investigation, but also for the system to thrive in an environment of change and uncertainty. Recent severe economic and ecological crises raise questions about sustainable development and resilience of regions within different industries (Courvisanos et al, 2016, p. 630) INTRODUCTION Investigating the vulnerability of regional economic systems in Australia to economic and ecological crises has been the major research objective of this research team over a significant period of time. The quotation above appears in the first peer-reviewed research output in which a robust conceptual framework was developed to navigate through the underlining elements of vulnerability. This framework of regional adaptive cycles is based on a four sequential phase model of economic activity – reorganisation, exploitation, conservation and release – that was initially advocated by Simmie and Martin (2010). By adapting this generalised pattern into a framework for examination of Australian regions and industries, and their income generation capability during cycles and crises, patterns can emerge that enables resilience against crises to be investigated. In Courvisanos et al. (2016), the data analysed was from the 2001, 2006 and 2011 Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census. A data mining clustering method called k-means provided an algorithm to evaluate the impact of major shocks, notably economic recession and drought, 1 ANZRSAI CONFERENCE 2016 REFEREED PROCEEDINGS on four functional groups of regions (metropolitan, periphery, regional and rural) across all 558 local government areas (LGAs) in Australia. These four functional groups of regions were allocated over the 19 ABS defined industry sectors, thus creating a total of 76 functional regional groups and their relevant industries. Two major limitations emerged from the investigation of the available three prior Census data sets. First is that 41 of the total 76 functional regional groups and their industries could not be allocated to the four-phase evolutionary pattern due to two or more non-separable (non-significant) periods being identified. Second is that only three periods with census data points 2001, 2006 and 2011 were available to be accessed in order to build the database for clustering. This is a limited time horizon with only two shocks (mid-2000s drought and 2008-09 Global Financial Crisis) in the snapshot data points with which to examine the adaptive resilience of regions by industry. To overcome these two limitations, the research team undertook further investigation by extending back in time to cover census periods that take in the 1989-92 recession and the 1999-2001 dot com bubble crash. This required the statistical data from ABS to reach back across a further three Census periods, 1986, 1991 and 1996. Given the number of LGAs and their respective industrial sectors, preparation of the data concordance for six Census dates was a huge data setting task.

Invaded and insulted, you stood fast, Ready to fight, or ford The cold black stream that rings us all about Like Ocean. Some of it got into your eyes That afternoon, smarting you not to doubt But to a new surprise At what sheer living brings-as once Yeats Braced in a question bewilderment, love and dying. As the flesh declines, the soul interrogates, Failing and stili trying. On a field of green, bright water in their shade, Wattles, fused and diffused by a molten star, Are pledging spring to Melbourne. Grief, allayed A little, asks how you are. 'Green is life's golden tree', said Goethe, and I hope that once again you're in a green Country, gold-fired now, taking your stand, A seer amidst the seen. Peter Steele In Memory of Dinny O'Hearn I Outcome, upshot, lifelong input, All roads leading to a dark Rome, We stumble forward, foot after foot: II You have taken your bat and gone home.

    573 Non-marine algae of Australia: 1. Survey of colonial gelatinous blue-green macroalgae (Cyanobacteria) Stephen Skinner and Timothy J. Entwisle Abstract Skinner, S. and Entwisle, T.J. (Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia. e-mail: [email protected]) 2001. Non-marine algae of Australia: 1. Survey of colonial gelatinous blue-green macroalgae (Cyanobacteria). Telopea 9(3): 573–599. Non-planktonic freshwater and terrestrial blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria) large enough to be noticeable even to casual observers, are frequently encountered in Australia, but appear only occasionally in the literature. Sixteen species of gelatinous colonial blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria) from Australia, are documented here. Two species — Nostoc borzioides and Rivularia concentrica — are new to science, and nine (Aphanothece caldariorum Richter, A. pallida (Kützing) Rabenhorst; Nostochopsis lobatus H.C. Wood ex Bornet & Flahault; Rivularia aquatica de Wilde; Gloeotrichia pilgeri Schmidle; Dichothrix gypsophila (Kützing) Bornet & Flahault; Nostoc flagelliforme Berkley & Curtis; Nostoc pruniforme (L.) C. Agardh ex Bornet & Flahault; Nostoc gelatinosum Schousboe in Bornet) are newly recorded from Australia. The others are Rivularia beccariana; Cylindrospermum licheniforme; Cylindrospermum stagnale; Nostoc commune and Nostoc verrucosum. Keys to the genera and species occurring in Australia are provided. Introduction This is the first of an occasional series of papers documenting new algal records and new taxa from non-marine habitats in Australia. The information is floristic rather than monographic, responding to an urgent need for information about the diversity of algae in freshwater and terrestrial habitats in Australia. The descriptions and illustrations are from Australian material, while protologues or authoratitive oversees descriptions have been consulted.

  • Dorrigo National Park Plan of Management
    DORRIGO NATIONAL PARK PLAN OF MANAGEMENT NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service October 1998 This plan of management was adopted by the Minister for the Environment on 4 October 1998. Acknowledgements: This plan of management has been prepared by staff of the Dorrigo District Office of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Crown Copyright 1998. Use permitted with appropriate acknowledgement. ISBN 0 7310 7688 5 FOREWORD Dorrigo National Park has an area of 7 885 hectares and is located 4 kilometres east of Dorrigo township which in turn lies 590 kilometres by road from Sydney. Dorrigo township is the centre of the rich agricultural lands of the Dorrigo Plateau. The town of Bellingen lies 25 kilometres to the east of the park and is the main town servicing the Bellinger Valley. The mid-north coast is within one hours drive of the park with the increasing population of centres such as Coffs Harbour and Nambucca Heads an important factor in park use and management. Part of Dorrigo Mountain was first protected in 1901. The area of reserved lands was progressively enlarged and granted increased protection until in 1967 when it was reserved under the National Parks and Wildlife Act, 1967 as a State Park. Under the National Parks and Wildlife Act of 1974 Dorrigo State Park was accorded national park status. In 1986 it was incorporated in the World Heritage List as one of the Sub-tropical and Warm Temperate Rainforest Parks of Eastern Australia, now known as the Central Eastern Rainforest Reserves of Australia. Dorrigo National Park is one of an important group of conservation areas on the Great Escarpment which include New England, Guy Fawkes River, Cathedral Rocks and Oxley Wild Rivers National Parks and Mount Hyland and Guy Fawkes River Nature Reserves.
