Mismanagement of Major Public Infrastructure Continues in Queensland
To: Rebecca Gilsenan; IMF Bentham; The Premier of Queensland; Reception; Townsville Mayor Cc: Phil Hassid; Greg McMahon; Michael Gillis; David Stark; Matt Wordsworth; Hedley Thomas; Sam Weir; Michael Madigan; Mark Solomons Subject: Townsville Flooding - Ross River Dam Mismanagement of major public infrastructure continues in Queensland With devastating consequences for the community, costing billions The outcome of flooding in the Townsville area this last week may had been very different had the Wivenhoe Dam class action proceeded with due diligence. It has been eight years since the 2011 floods - it is simply not that big a task. Even the much bigger banking royal commission was able to be undertaken in less than twelve months. It is most likely to have meant that a far more professional approach would have been taken in operating the crest gates on Ross River Dam during the recent floods; and that the havoc in the downstream community would have been avoided. The challenge for operators of dams like Ross River Dam is to minimise downstream flooding; and the implications for the community. They conventionally do this by keeping the water level in the dam as low as prudently possible; and by increasing the discharge from the dam as slowly as prudently possible. Reservoirs are operated at the lowest possible level in order to maximise the potential to mitigate the flood peak; reduce the prospects of the dam amplifying the flood peak; and reduce the risk of the dam failing. The evidence is that the level in Ross River Dam rose continuously from the onset of the flood to a peak of about 247% when the discharge from the dam doubled due to the automatics fully opening the crest gates. -

It became known as the Tank Stream. By 1811 it dams south of Sydney was hardly fit for drinking. Water was then drawn from wells or carted from a creek running into Rushcutter’s Bay. The Tank Stream was still the main water supply until 1826. In this whole-day tour by car you will see the major dams, canals and pipelines that provide water to Sydney. Some of these works still in use were built around 1880. The round trip tour from Sydney is around 350 km., all on good roads and motorway. The tour is through attractive countryside south Engines at Botany Pumping Station (demolished) of Sydney, and there are good picnic areas and playgrounds at the dam sites. source of supply.

A few fragments of the pumping station building remain and can be seen Tank stream in 1840, from a water-colour by beside General Holmes Drive. Water was pumped to two J.

Emergency Management of Sunwater's Dam Portfolio in The
Emergency management of SunWater’s dam portfolio in the 2010-11 Queensland floods Robert Keogh, Rob Ayre, Peter Richardson, Barry Jeppesen, Olga Kakourakis SunWater Limited SunWater owns 23 referable dams and operates a further two dams for other owners. The dams are located across Queensland from Texas and St George in the South to the Atherton Tablelands in the north to Mt Isa in the west. During the period December 2010 to February 2011 there were several significant rainfall events across Queensland. The first occurred in late December 2010, the second in mid January 2011 and third in early February 2011. Generally it was the most significant rainfall event in Queensland since the 1970’s. 22 Emergency Action Plans were activated simultaneously by SunWater. Eleven dams experienced a flood of record during the events. This paper will discuss what has been learnt from these events including the optimisation of management structures for a dam owner with a large portfolio of dams: review of O&M Manuals including the adequacy of backup systems: relationships with the State disaster management framework: the value of rigorous communication protocols: managing fear and a general lack of understanding in the community: and the value of being prepared.

New Clearways to Help Get Motorists Moving Around Sydney Olympic Park
Duncan Gay Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight Leader of the Government Legislative Council MEDIA RELEASE Monday, 11 April 2016 NEW CLEARWAYS TO HELP GET MOTORISTS MOVING AROUND SYDNEY OLYMPIC PARK Minister for Roads Duncan Gay today announced new weekend and extended weekday clearways have been installed on Centenary Drive, Homebush Bay Drive and a section of Concord Road between Strathfield and Rhodes. “The NSW Government is taking action to reduce congestion and is pushing ahead with our $121 million Clearways Strategy to get people moving freely on some of Sydney’s busiest roads,” Mr Gay said. “With congestion currently costing Sydney around $5.1 billion each year, the NSW Government is committed to maximising the use of existing road space and delivering travel time savings for motorists. “We’re not just building long-term congestion busting projects such as WestConnex and NorthConnex – we’re also providing immediate relief on busy roads such as Victoria Road, Lane Cove Road, the Princes Highway, Anzac Parade and now Centenary Drive, Homebush Bay Drive and a section of Concord Road.” The new clearway is along a nine kilometre route starting at Centenary Drive from the Hume Highway to the M4 Motorway, Homebush Bay Drive from the M4 Motorway to Concord Road and the section of Concord Road from Homebush Bay Drive to Ryde Bridge. “This new length of clearway adds to other recently installed clearways and means there is 19 kilometres of road where people cannot park or stop from Strathfield to Pymble – a huge stretch of congestion relief for motorists,” Mr Gay said. -

Paluma Nature Notes Contributions to the PDCA Newsletter, Turkey Talk, 2011-2018
Paluma Nature Notes Contributions to the PDCA Newsletter, Turkey Talk, 2011-2018 by Roy MacKay Compiled by Jamie Oliver Roy Mackay – Nature Notes Compilation Introduction Roy Mackay first moved to Paluma in 1987 having had a varied and successful career in Australia and PNG working as taxidermist, curator wildlife park director, photographer and book author. He was a highly skilled naturalist, with a keen interest in all plants and animals (especially in the tropics). Through his regular walks in and around Paluma and avid reading of the literature, Roy quickly became Paluma’s resident expert on the wildlife and natural history of the area. With the establishment of Paluma’s regular newsletter, Turkey Talk, Roy found an effective way to share this wealth of knowledge. His first contributions, starting with issue 28, dealt with short notes related to natural history (eg. announcements of new species lists, book reviews etc.) but by Issue 39, with an article entitled “Nature Notes” he concentrated on recording new and interesting observations from Paluma and nearby areas. With the exception of a series of 4 articles titled “Roy's Rovings” (under a different Turkey Talk editor), and the occasional missed article due to absence or ill health, and one article named “Paluma in the Clouds” Roy’s contributions were simply labelled “Nature Notes” and they became a much-read part of virtually all issues of Turkey Talk from number 45 onwards. In total he wrote 78 articles. All of these are reproduced below. Jamie Oliver December, 2019 Page 2 Contents Each Nature Notes article has been extracted from an issue of the newsletter of the Paluma & District Community Association (Turkey Talk – abbreviated at TT throughout). -
