  • Parramatta Female Factory Precinct
    History – Parramatta Female Factory Precinct Burramatta Land (≈60,000 Years Ago – Present) The Burramatta people have lived on the upper reaches of the Parramatta River, including the land of the Parramatta North Heritage Precinct, for at least 60,000 years (Parramatta City Council, 2015). The Burramatta are part of the Darug clan who occupy the Cumberland Plain and nearby areas of the Blue Mountains. The Darug comprise of coastal, hinterland and mountain groups of which the Burramatta form a border grouping between coastal and hinterland communities (Comber 2014, p. 18). Prior to their dispossession and displacement, the Burramatta travelled seasonally across their land in groups of between 30 to 60 people with the Parramatta River (the southerly edge of the Parramatta North Heritage Precinct) being an important source of food, including eel, from which Burramatta (and later Parramatta) are etymologically derived (‘place where the eels lie down’) (Parramatta City Council, 2015). The Burramatta fished mullet, crayfish, shellfish, turtles, eels, shellfish, molluscs and other marine animals with the women usually fishing from canoes while the men speared from the banks of the Parramatta River (Kass et al 1996, p. 7). Terrestrial food sources included possums, fruits and vegetables (such as yams). Other flora, such as Eucalyptus leaves, was used for medicines and trees were used to make shelters, canoes and other implements. British settlement of Parramatta from 1788 began the marginalisation of the Burramatta people from their lands, as occurred with other peoples throughout the Sydney Basin. Contact between the Burramatta and British was limited at first, but gradually some trade took place.

  • Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program
    Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program Volume 1 Data Report 2018-19 Commercial-in-Confidence Sydney Water 1 Smith Street, Parramatta, NSW Australia 2150 PO Box 399 Parramatta NSW 2124 Report version: STSIMP Data Report 2018-19 Volume 1 Final Cover photo: Sydney Harbour, photographed by Joshua Plush © Sydney Water 2019 This work is copyright. It may be reproduced for study, research or training purposes subject to the inclusion of an acknowledgement of the source and no commercial usage or sale. Reproduction for purposes other than those listed requires permission from Sydney Water. Executive summary Background Sydney Water operates 23 wastewater treatment systems and each system has an Environment Protection Licence (EPL) regulated by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). Each EPL specifies the minimum performance standards and monitoring that is required. The Sewage Treatment System Impact Monitoring Program (STSIMP) commenced in 2008 to satisfy condition M5.1a of our EPLs. The results are reported to the NSW EPA every year. The STSIMP aims to monitor the environment within Sydney Water’s area of operations to determine general trends in water quality over time, monitor Sydney Water’s performance and to determine where Sydney Water’s contribution to water quality may pose a risk to environmental ecosystems and human health. The format and content of 2018-19 Data Report predominantly follows the earlier three reports (2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18). Based on the recent feedback received from the EPA on earlier reports, the chapters and monitoring indicators have been re-arranged in this report to reflect a widely accepted Pressure-State-Response (PSR) framework.

  • Habitat and As an Example the Hunter's Hill Small Bird Corridor
    Habitat and as an example the Hunter’s Hill small bird corridor Updated January 2018 Local extinctions are happening in our suburbs and in fragmented bushland areas. The Habitat Network is helping people do their bit for small birds and other native fauna by putting habitat back in gardens and by working with local authorities, schools and other habitat projects to improve the habitat values of our bushland and linkages. Small native birds, such as the superb fairy-wren, variegated fairy-wren, red-browed finch, eastern spinebill, eastern yellow robin, spotted pardalote, white-browed scrubwren, silvereye and other “lbbs” (little brown birds), are the birds that people ‘used to see around'. Habitat Network project started when International Environmental Weed Foundation (IEWF), a Sydney based not-for-profit organisation, see www.iewf.org, received a grant in 2008 to run community workshops about understanding and restoring local natural capital (native flora, fauna, soils, water quality, air quality and general landscape function). These workshops and subsequent discussions revealed that many of us have noticed the disappearance of small native birds from our gardens – and in some cases from our local bushland. From these ideas and other observations and advice Habitat Network was created with a focus on small birds as a way of connecting with people and as a way to reconnect people and habitats for the benefit of our native flora and fauna – and of course for people’s enjoyment. Habitat Network has grown from an idea in 2008 to a group with now close to 800 members which includes schools, businesses, Councils, community groups as well as families and individuals.
