  • TML Propagation Protocols
    PROPAGATION PROTOCOLS This document is intended as a guide for Tamborine Mountain Landcare members who wish to assist our regeneration projects by growing some of the plants needed. It is a work in progress so if you have anything to add to the protocols – for example a different but successful way of propagating and growing a particular plant – then please give it to Julie Lake so she can add it to the document. The idea is that our shared knowledge and experience can become a valuable part of TML's intellectual property as well as a useful source of knowledge for members. As there are many hundreds of plants native to Tamborine Mountain, the protocols list will take a long time to complete, with growing information for each plant added alphabetically as time permits. While the list is being compiled by those members with competence in this field, any TML member with a query about propagating a particular plant can post it on the website for other me mb e r s to answer. To date, only protocols for trees and shrubs have been compiled. Vines and ferns will be added later. Fruiting times given are usual for the species but many rainforest plants flower and fruit opportunistically, according to weather and other conditions unknown to us, thus fruit can be produced at any time of year. Finally, if anyone would like a copy of the protocols, contact Julie on jrlakemedia@iprimus.com.au and she’ll send you one. ………………….. Growing from seed This is the best method for most plants destined for regeneration projects for it is usually fast, easy and ensures genetic diversity in the regenerated landscape.

FOREWORD In the weeks following the March flood within the local community there was much discussion with family, friends, business people and citizens about the magnitude of the flood disaster. So many aspects were ill timed, badly worded and not as effective as the way floods were managed in a much less structured and centralised fashion in the past. The Public Forums that were organised by the SES for the North, South CBD and East Lismore areas of the town generated a considerable degree of anger and disgust at the failure of the SES Senior Executives to confront the community and discuss the many aspects of the management of the flood event that were badly handled.

  • What We Heard
    Drought community consultation Fact sheet I What we heard Community Drought Consultation What we heard In February and March 2020, the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (the department) held a fourth series of meetings to discuss drought and water availability issues - this time in the Hunter and North Coast areas. The purpose of these meetings was to hear community views on how water should be managed in times of limited supplies and to provide advice on current water availability and water resource outlooks. At the North Coast meetings, with recent improvements in the water supply situation, discussions were about risks to water access during dry periods and how the NSW Government can further support communities through the next drought. The meetings were held in the Hunter, Richmond and Bellinger River valleys. Details of locations and groups represented at each meeting can be found at the end of this document. Key information provided at the meetings The meetings were run by an independent facilitator and the following information was provided: ● The department provided an update on the water security outlook and an overview of how the NSW Government manages extreme events; drought and poor water quality ● The department outlined the development of regional water strategies ● WaterNSW provided an overview of drought conditions state-wide and specific river valley drought management measures ● Local Land Services provided an overview of their role in drought, flood and fire recovery and managing livestock during difficult conditions. Copies of or links to the presentations from DPIE-Water and WaterNSW are available on the DPIE website: www.industry.nsw.gov.au/water/allocations-availability/droughts-floods/drought- update/information-sessions Issues that were raised at each of the public meetings are summarised below.
