Port Hedland AREA PLANNING STUDY Foreword Port Hedland is one of the Pilbara’s most historic and colourful towns. The townsite as we know it was established by European settlers in 1896 as a service centre for the pastoral, goldmining and pearling industries, although the area has been home to Aboriginal people for many thousands of years. In the 1960s Port Hedland experienced a major growth period, as a direct result of the emerging iron ore industry.

    Submission #1996 - Marble Bar Road (M030) Coongan Gorge Realignment Title of Proposal - Marble Bar Road (M030) Coongan Gorge Realignment Section 1 - Summary of your proposed action Provide a summary of your proposed action, including any consultations undertaken. 1.1 Project Industry Type Transport - Land 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities. Main Roads Western Australia (Main Roads) is proposing to upgrade a section of Marble Bar Road at Coongan Gorge from 318.4 to 323.5 Straight Line Kilometre (SLK). The purpose of the proposed works is to improve safety on this section of Marble Bar Road, connecting Port Hedland to Marble Bar. The proposed project works will include: - Realignment and reconstruction of approximately 5 km of Marble Bar Road between 318.4-323.5 SLK. Road formation width will vary significantly due to varying batter slope distances (at the narrowest road formation will be 10 metres (m) wide, and in isolated areas road formation will be up to 170 m wide) - Associated works including significant road batter construction, minor floodways, culverts and off road drainage - Development and use of a side track to divert traffic during stages of construction - Extraction of basecourse material from M030 material pit if excess cut material is not suitable for road base. M030 material pit is located on the Marble Bar road at 356 SLK, The Project is being referred to the Department of the Environment and Energy (DotEE) as it may result in the loss of known and potential habitat

  • Cape Range National Park
    Cape Range National Park Management Plan No 65 2010 R N V E M E O N G T E O H F T W A E I S L T A E R R N A U S T CAPE RANGE NATIONAL PARK Management Plan 2010 Department of Environment and Conservation Conservation Commission of Western Australia VISION By 2020, the park and the Ningaloo Marine Park will be formally recognised amongst the world’s most valuable conservation and nature based tourism icons. The conservation values of the park will be in better condition than at present. This will have been achieved by reducing stress on ecosystems to promote their natural resilience, and facilitating sustainable visitor use. In particular, those values that are not found or are uncommon elsewhere will have been conserved, and their special conservation significance will be recognised by the local community and visitors. The park will continue to support a wide range of nature-based recreational activities with a focus on preserving the remote and natural character of the region. Visitors will continue to enjoy the park, either as day visitors from Exmouth or by camping in the park itself at one of the high quality camping areas. The local community will identify with the park and the adjacent Ningaloo Marine Park, and recognise that its values are of international significance. An increasing number of community members will support and want to be involved in its ongoing management. The Indigenous heritage of the park will be preserved by the ongoing involvement of the traditional custodians, who will have a critical and active role in jointly managing the cultural and conservation values of the park.

    IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Purnululu National Park - 2017 Conservation Outlook Assessment (archived) IUCN Conservation Outlook Assessment 2017 (archived) Finalised on 08 November 2017 Please note: this is an archived Conservation Outlook Assessment for Purnululu National Park. To access the most up-to-date Conservation Outlook Assessment for this site, please visit https://www.worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org. Purnululu National Park SITE INFORMATION Country: Australia Inscribed in: 2003 Criteria: (vii) (viii) Site description: The 239,723 ha Purnululu National Park is located in the State of Western Australia. It contains the deeply dissected Bungle Bungle Range composed of Devonian-age quartz sandstone eroded over a period of 20 million years into a series of beehive-shaped towers or cones, whose steeply sloping surfaces are distinctly marked by regular horizontal bands of dark-grey cyanobacterial crust (single-celled photosynthetic organisms). These outstanding examples of cone karst owe their existence and uniqueness to several interacting geological, biological, erosional and climatic phenomena. © UNESCO IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Purnululu National Park - 2017 Conservation Outlook Assessment (archived) SUMMARY 2017 Conservation Outlook Good Purnululu National Park is a solid example of a site inscribed for landscape and geological outstanding value, but with significant biological importance, both at a regional as well as international scale. Thanks to a low level of threat and good protection and management including the creation of more conservation lands around the property, all values appear to be stable and some are even improving, given that the site was damaged by grazing prior to inscription. While there is always the potential for a catastrophic event such as uncontrolled fire or invasion by alien species, risk management plans are in place although in this case the relatively low level of funding for park management would have to be raised.

The Park is 260km south of Kununurra and 110km north of Halls Creek. The Bungle Bungles consists of a group of rounded beehive-shaped domes of horizontally-stratified sandstone and conglomerate which were deposited in the Ord Basin about 375 to 350 million years ago. The range is 578m above sea level, and rises 200 - 300m above the surrounding plain. It covers an area of about 35km by 24km. Combo Waterholes are situated on the Diamantina Combo Court Combo Waterholes River south-east of Kynuna. They are believed to Queensland be the site that inspired Banjo Paterson to write Waltzing Matilda while on a visit to Dagworth Station in 1895. Combo Waterhole Conservation Park contains a string of semi-permanent coolibah-lined lagoons in outback Queensland.

  • 4.5.3 Woodie Woodie 4.5.3.1 Regional Hydrogeology the Woodie Woodie Mine Is Located in a Large Synclinal Basin Known Regionally As the Oakover Syncline
    Spinifex Ridge Molybdenum Project – Public Environmental Review 4.5.3 Woodie Woodie 4.5.3.1 Regional Hydrogeology The Woodie Woodie mine is located in a large synclinal basin known regionally as the Oakover Syncline. The Oakover Syncline is a platform carbonate unit that disconformably overlies the Jeerinah Formation. The Oakover Syncline hosts the two major aquifer units namely the Pinjian Chert Breccia and the Upper Carawine Dolomite, forming a major regional scale aquifer. Regional groundwater flow in the Woodie Woodie area is thought to be from east to west across the site, away from the topographic high areas (normally coincident with outcropping Jeerinah Formation, locally referred to as the Gregory Ranges) towards the Oakover River (GRM, 2006). The river is considered to be the major natural discharge area within the region. The most common range of pre-mining groundwater levels is between 254 and 255 mAHD (as measured in Bells, Chris D and Big Mack pits). 4.5.3.2 Local Aquifer Characteristics The Pinjian Chert Breccia and the Upper Carawine Dolomite are the major aquifer units present in the vicinity of Woodie Woodie. Table 4-8 provides a summary of the reported hydraulic test results and derived aquifer parameters for the Woodie Woodie area. The data shows a highly transmissive aquifer, capable of delivering high bore yields. Pinjian Chert Breccia Aquifer The Pinjian Chert Breccia forms a major aquifer that is commonly confined by the Patterson Formation where it is present, but is otherwise unconfined. The transmissivity of the Pinjian Chert Breccia is estimated to range from 500 m²/day to 2500 m²/day (Mackie Martin PPK 1994, Golder Associates 2000 & 2003 and GRM 2004 & 2005).
