Linking the Illawarra. Improving the Region's Transport

Inefficiencies in transport links drive up the costs of doing business in the Illawarra and compromise future opportunities for market expansion. There are strong concerns that without effective planning and action now to address this issue, the projected expansion in the passenger and freight movement task over the next 20 years will see the transport and logistics costs for business increase significantly. -

The Illawarra Fly Fishers' Club
Inc. THE ILLAWARRA FLY FISHERS’ CLUB 1989 to 2019 - The First Thirty Years The First Thirty Years - 1989 to 2019 Page 1 FOREWARD As the following document details, 2019 marked the thirtieth anniversary of the Illawarra Fly Fishers’ Club. By any measure, the passage of thirty years is a significant milestone in any endeavour, be it on a personal, social or business basis or, as in the case of the Illawarra Fly Fishers’ Club, the establishment and uninterrupted continuity of a specialist social club. That the Illawarra Fly Fishers’ Club has existed for thirty years is a remarkable achievement. Thirty years ago Bob Hawke was the Prime Minister of Australia, Nick Greiner was the Premier of New South Wales, Australia had, the previous year, celebrated the bi-centenary of the arrival of the First Fleet, acid wash jeans were the rage, the “Game Boy” console was released by Nintendo, Crocodile Dundee II was a hit movie, Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” was the number one music single and for higher education students, the Hawke government had scrapped free University education and introduced the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS) scheme. Whilst the HECS scheme remains, other political and social highlights of the time have, fortunately or unfortunately depending upon your point of view, passed into history. Fortunately for past, current and future members, the Illawarra Fly Fishers’ Club continues to exist and continues to maintain a strong, active and social membership. This is certainly a remarkable achievement on many fronts. Remarkable -
Identifying Sediment Compartment Dynamics on the Illawarra Coast
IDENTIFYING SEDIMENT COMPARTMENT DYNAMICS ON THE ILLAWARRA COAST R Carvalho 1, M Kinsela 2, D Hanslow 2, S Hamylton 1, M Linklater 2, T Ingleton 2, B Morris 2 K Allen 2, C Woodroffe 1 1School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Wollongong, NSW 2Water, Wetlands and Coasts Science, NSW Office of Environment & Heritage, NSW Abstract This project aims to produce a framework for assessing compartment dynamics within two sediment compartments in the Illawarra region to assist in assessing coastal hazards. Sediment sources, pathways and sinks will be examined for the Wollongong and Illawarra Coast – South compartments, defined by Geoscience Australia and CoastAdapt. A compartment based approach allows for more holistic coastal planning and management which considers sediment transport at differing scales, and interconnectivity of beaches. This type of approach underpins national guidance on open coast risk assessment and has been incorporated within the NSW Coastal Reforms and the Draft Coastal Management Manual. The adjacent sectors of the Wollongong Coast and Illawarra Coast-South compartments extend for approximately 30 km from Bellambi Point to Bass Point. The rock platform of Red Point marks the shoreline division between these two contrasting compartments. The Wollongong Coast is an urbanized relatively little studied leaky compartment, whereas the Illawarra Coast-South is a well-defined and confined compartment whose main sedimentary characteristics are represented by the infilling of the Lake Illawarra barrier estuary and the erosion- prone Warilla Beach. This detailed examination of sediment resources brings together the state-wide coastal seabed mapping program being undertaken by the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH), and coastal geomorphological investigations being undertaken along the southern NSW coast by the University of Wollongong (UOW). -
