Preface The St Clair Quadrangle, to which this report refers, contains the southern continuation of the glaciated region already surveyed in the Du Cane Quadrangle immediately to the north. Like the Du Cane Quadrangle, the St Clair Quadrangle has little mineral wealth but much to interest the bushwalker, and in addition, its easier access brings it within the range of the tourist. Indeed, a large part of the State's biggest scenic reserve, the Cradle Mountaln­ Lake St Clair National Park, occurs in this Quadrangle. Economically, the chief interest is centered in peculiarities of topography and drainage, enabling development of natural and artificial storage lakes to assist in t he production of hydro-electricity so necessary for industrial expansion. The St Clair Map Sheet presents a wide range of interesting studies for a variety of geologists including especially those inter~ ested in geomorphology and engineering, and it is to be hoped that this report will be followed by fUrther study.

  • Western Lakes Fishery Management Plan 2002
    Wilderness Fishery Western Lakes Western November 2002 F ISHERY M ANAGEMENT P LAN WESTERN LAKES WESTERN LAKES F ISHERY M ANAGEMENT P LAN November 2002 November 2002 Western Lakes – Fishery Management Plan Western Lakes – Fishery Management Plan November 2002 Executive Summary Introduction This fishery management plan is a subsidiary plan under the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan (WHA plan). The plan covers all areas of responsibility for which the Inland Fisheries Service (IFS) has statutory control; freshwater native species, freshwater recreational fisheries, and freshwater commercial fisheries. The plan also makes several recommendations on land management issues for consideration by the Parks and Wildlife Service (PWS). The area covered by the plan includes the Central Plateau Conservation Area west of the Lake Highway and the Walls of Jerusalem National Park, both of which lie within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. Environment This section examines the impacts of users (primarily anglers) on the environment and specifically water quality, and how these impacts can be minimised while maintaining angling opportunities. Management prescriptions focus on monitoring and review of water quality and the impacts of boating, wading and weir construction in various waters, and where necessary, implementing remediation measures. An information and education approach with the particular emphasis on the use of signage, will play an important role. Establishment of alternative boating access outside of the Western Lakes, development of a boating code of practice and review of current boating regulations will assist in minimising boating impacts. Additionally, the IFS will encourage and support studies that examine the impacts of boating and wading.

  • Community Consultation Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
    Derwent Water Management Review Community Consultation Report Community Consultation Report Consultation Community Derwent EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document reports on the community consultation stage of Hydro Tasmania’s Water Management Review (WMR) for the Derwent catchment. The aim of this review is to develop a program for environmentally sustainable water management for Hydro Tasmania operations. The WMR is a multi-year Hydro Tasmania project involving four stages – information review, community consultation, technical studies and program development. The first catchment review undertaken was in the South Esk – Great Lake catchment, between 1999 and 2003, which resulted in a program of Hydro Tasmania commitments for nine key waterways (www.hydro.com.au/environment/waterreviews/environment). The Derwent operations for hydro-electricity generation are complex, involving 10 power stations and 20 storages, and are well described in the Environmental Review document produced in the information review stage of the WMR (www.hydro.com.au/environment/waterreviews/environment). The community consultation stage for the Derwent WMR, reported on in this document, involved communicating with stakeholder groups and the community to identify concerns regarding Hydro Tasmania water management practices. For the Derwent WMR, Hydro Tasmania sent out an initial mail-out in August 2003 to 618 stakeholders who were identified through a wide-ranging search. Advertisements in local and regional newspapers were also placed during July 2003 to invite the participation of stakeholders. A total of 224 respondents returned the initial mail-out and 191 copies of the Environmental Review document were distributed to stakeholders that responded. This document provides stakeholders and any interested parties with information on Hydro Tasmania activities in the Derwent catchment, and known environmental issues related to these activities.
