RDA Murray NSW Submitted By: Mary Hoodless
BRIEFING NOTE To: The Hon Nola Marino MP and DITRDC From: RDA Murray NSW Submitted by: Mary Hoodless – Chair, RDA Murray Information Source: RDA Murray and Murray Socio-Economic Activation Taskforce (MSEAT) Date: Wednesday 15 July 2020 Recovery phase and what this looks like: • NSW-VIC border closure • RDA Murray coordinating communication and supporting local govt • Police/defence presence is notable – road blocks, random stops/ checks. This has a highly tangible impact on general community confidence. • RDA Murray are working together with regional leaders to predict and assess border closure impacts and what we can do to support the community • Addressing migrant workforce cross border issues. How recovery can be effectively implemented: • Support border specific economic and social needs • Consider the USA Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructure process to allow insolvent businesses to restructure without the current bankruptcy costs that may in fact ‘sink’ the business • Community – Invest in health promotion to improve immunity and impact of COVID 19 on the general population. Programs to avoid co-morbidities associated with obesity, excessive alcohol, little exercise and smoking. • Murray Irrigation Limited & Local Government bridge infrastructure proposal development. Impact and effectiveness of the government COVID interventions in your region including identifying what additional support may be needed. • 3 active Covid cases on the border. Pop up testing units in Albury to support increased demand for testing. • Business concerns when existing job keeper/ATO support ends o Zombie Business – pre COVID were at risk, given life support, still unsustainable o Other businesses are genuinely in trouble – eg a tourism business had to refund $60k overnight – flourishing one day-closed the next – will they survive? o Other business owners have taken the opportunity to collect the funds, close and retire • Reports that some tourism operators are nervous about accepting bookings and feel unable to request further information, such as postcodes, from their clients. -
A Case Study of the Murray-Darling Basin. Final
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This case study was commissioned by the International Water Management Institute as part of an Asian Development Bank supported regional study on water management institutions. This case study is one of three case studies of advanced river basins (Murray-Darling Basin in Australia, Omonogawa in Japan and Brantas in Indonesia), and five other river basin studies in North China, West Sumatra of Indonesia, Philippines, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The Murray-Darling River Basin in Australia provides some interesting lessons on how a resource that crosses many jurisdictional lines can be managed by balancing economic principles and ecological sustainability in a political context. Given the complexity of the situation that involves four States, a territory government, a federal government, many catchment boards and hundreds of local governments, it is amazing that the system functions and has evolved as well as it has. The system grew out of a desire to develop an irrigation industry after World War II. This development era has past and the focus has shifted to the management of a scarce resource and the need to bring a set of environmental policies under control. There are elements in the present political arrangements that have encouraged the various jurisdictions to work towards management solutions. Jurisdictions must work in a context which is characterised by “over commitment” or, at least, “full commitment” of the Basins’ resources and serious water quality problems. An important element in the present political arrangements is the National Competition Policy which is designed to encourage the States and Territories to participate in a process of reform. -
Bibliography of the History of Australasian Science, No. 39, 2017/8
CSIRO PUBLISHING Historical Records of Australian Science, 2019, 30, 66–81 https://doi.org/10.1071/HR19901 Bibliography of the history of Australasian science, no. 39, 2017/8 Compiled by Helen M. Cohn eScholarship Research Centre, The University of Melbourne. Email: [email protected] Readers of this, the 40th bibliography, will note from the title that it covers material published in both 2017 and 2018. With the change in publication from June and December to January and July, there were inevitably a considerable number of items that could not be included in the previous bibliography: included here are publications issued between the latter part of 2017 and September of the following year, as well as some items from 2016 that, despite her best efforts, had managed to escape the attention of the compiler. The subject coverage is, as usual, Australia and its near neighbours (including Antarctica), and the natural and applied sciences in their broadest sense, from anthropology and astrophysics to zoology. In compiling the bibliography a large number of journals and websites are checked for citations to relevant articles, books and book reviews on subjects covered. Library resources were again most useful, particularly those at The University of Melbourne and the State Library of Victoria. The databases of the National Library of Australia and the National Library of New Zealand Te Papa Ma¯tauranga O Aotearoa, also were invaluable in the pursuit of significant publications. The compiler is most grateful to these readers and authors who alerted her to new publications. Often those people are aware of sources unknown to the compiler. -

The study area was the floodplain of the Murray River and its anabranches, including the Edward-Wakool system, from below Hume Dam to the upper end of Lake Alexandrina. The components of the study were: · Literature Review A comprehensive bibliography was compiled on the floodplain vegeta tion, its environment and the impact ofman's activities. The literature was reviewed and summarised. · Floristic Survey A field survey was carried out, visiting 112 sites throughout the study area and collecting vegetation data from 335 plots. Data collected were the species present, their relative abundance, the condition of the eucalypts, the amount ofeucalypt regeneration and indices ofgrazing pressure. Brief studies were made of the effects of river regulation and salinisation at specific sites. Thirty-seven plant communities were identified from a numerical analyis ofthe floristic survey data. The differences reflect environmental changes both along the river and across the floodplain. The most important factors were identified as soil salinity levels and flooding frequency. -
