  • 2016-2017 Native Fish Stocking Plan for Dams and Lakes
    2016/2017 NATIVE FISH STOCKING PLAN FOR DAMS AND LAKES There are many impoundments and reservoirs suitable for native fish stocking throughout NSW and over the last two decades a large number of excellent recreational fisheries have been established. To ensure that the best use continues to be made of publicly funded fish stocking programs, Department of Primary Industries (DPI) is seeking input from people who have an interest in the State’s stocked native freshwater fisheries. The attached draft native fish stocking plan has been prepared for consideration by the recreational fishing community. Fish are stocked from Government hatcheries as a service to the anglers of NSW. Locations are selected based on recent stocking history and experience with those waters. The plan is also developed in accordance with the policies and guidelines set out in the Environmental Impact Statement and Fishery Management Strategy (FMS) on freshwater fish stocking in NSW. The water quality and storage status of impoundments will also be assessed prior to stocking and where necessary changes will be made. Please note: Planned fish release figures listed in the attached tables are targets only, and may be exceeded, or not attained, depending on hatchery production. Other seasonal factors such as water quality issues or unforeseen circumstances could preclude planned fish releases. As a result, allocations may be amended prior to release. Impoundments are listed as Priority 1 or 2. Priority 1 impoundments support large recreational fisheries or have not received stockings in recent years. Priority 2 impoundments are either smaller fisheries, suffer intermittent water quality issues or have recently received large stockings of that species.

    Manly Dam Project Manly Dam Project The Manly Dam area is a unique landscape, rich in natural biodiversity, shaped by the interventions of engineering and science. Once the source of drinking water for Sydney’s north, freshwater continues to flow from the catchment to the sea. Along with a rich Aboriginal cultural significance, the area’s European history is layered with stories of social and recreational activity. Adjacent to this area, now known as the Manly Warringah War Memorial Park, is a hub of international research through the work of the Water Research Laboratory (WRL), a facility of the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, UNSW Sydney. Eight contemporary artists from a variety of practices have created new work inspired by place, history, water management and engineering.

  • Measuring Our Progress - 2017/18-2020/21 Delivery Program
    THE INTEGRATED PLANNING AND REPORTING FRAMEWORK The Local Government Integrated Planning and Reporting (IPR) Framework aims to ensure a more sustainable Local Government sector. All NSW Councils are required to develop a Community Strategic Plan (10 years) along with a Delivery Program (4 years) and Operational Plan (1 year). These documents are informed by a Resourcing Strategy (10 years) that is made up of a Long Term Financial Plan (Money), Asset Management Strategy (Assets) and Workforce Management Plan (People). Figure 1: IPR Framework In order to achieve the integration envisaged by the IPR framework, there is an alignment between the Fairfield City Plan (Community Strategic Plan), Resourcing Strategy, Delivery Program and the Operational Plan. This alignment is formed through the five Themes identified by the community in the Fairfield City Plan: . Theme 1: Community Wellbeing . Theme 2: Places and Infrastructure . Theme 3: Environmental Sustainability . Theme 4: Local Economy and Employment . Theme 5: Good Governance and Leadership The Delivery Program details the projects, programs and services Council will undertake during its term-of- office to help achieve the community outcomes identified in the Fairfield City Plan. The Operational Plan is a sub plan of the Delivery Program, which outlines the projects, major programs and services that will be undertaken during the financial year. It also includes the budget details for the year. This report will be publicly available on Council’s website. QUARTERLY REPORT October to December
