  • The Perth Freight Link: Facts and Fiction Prepared by Peter Newman and Philip Jennings for the Beeliar Group – Professors for Environmental Responsibility
    For Release 8 Feb 2017 The Perth Freight Link: Facts and Fiction Prepared by Peter Newman and Philip Jennings for The Beeliar Group – Professors for Environmental Responsibility The supporters of Roe 8 and the Perth Freight Link (PFL) have been spreading misinformation and half truths about the developments. Their aim is to discredit alternatives by the selective use of the facts. This analysis of the Roe 8 and PFL myths provides a more complete picture. Myth 1: The PFL has been on the books for 60 years and no one objected until recently. The PFL was a Prime Minister Abbott “Captain’s Call” presented to the former Transport Minister, Dean Nalder, at a meeting in Canberra in early 2015, along with similar highly controversial roads in Melbourne and Sydney. The Melbourne East-West Link was rejected by the Victorian people at their last election. It is extremely unusual to have a road project proposed by a Commonwealth politician and it has disrupted all planning processes since it was dropped on Perth without any history or warning. The PFL is still a vague proposal and the detailed design has never been released publicly or assessed by the EPA. Roe 8 was included in the Metropolitan Region Scheme in 1963 without any public consultation or environmental impact assessment as part of a ring road bringing traffic to the coast between North Coogee and South Beach and then north to Fremantle. The Cockburn Wetlands Study of 1975 first suggested that the road should not proceed. The first environmental assessment was carried out by the EPA in 1978 and it recommended in its System Six report in 1980 that a new route be found because the proposed route was environmentally unacceptable.

  • Macrophyte Communities in the Peel-Harvey Estuary: Historical Trends and Current Patterns in Biomass and Distribution
    Macrophyte communities in the Peel-Harvey Estuary: Historical trends and current patterns in biomass and distribution. Submitted by Oliver Krumholz This thesis is presented for the Degree of Honours in Marine Science, School of Veterinary and Life Science, Murdoch University, 2019. Declaration I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not been previously submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. ------------------------------------------ Oliver Krumholz 20th May 2019 Abstract Estuaries are significant coastal environments and amongst the most productive ecosystems. However, anthropogenic activities have led to widespread degradation of estuaries and loss of ecosystem function. Eutrophication, a major driver for these changes, caused widespread loss of seagrass and significant blooms of macroalgae and phytoplankton. This study determined the spatial and temporal dynamics of macrophyte communities over a forty-year period (1978- 2018) in the Peel- Harvey Estuary, a hydrologically modified eutrophic estuary in south-western Australia. Analyses revealed a progressive decline in macroalgal biomass and an associated increase in seagrass biomass over the examined periods. The seagrass Ruppia became the dominant macrophyte in the system and expanded into previously unvegetated areas in the southern Harvey Estuary. The observed changes in macrophyte community composition were correlated with declining total nitrogen concentrations over time in those regions of the estuary furthest from the rivers. While these effects partly reflect improved water clarity and flushing of nutrients following the opening of an artificial channel to the ocean, they are likely also influenced by changes in river flow patterns caused by climate change.

  • Tidal Wave of Construction and 1300 Jobs Heading for South Australia
    Tidal wave of construction and 1300 jobs heading for South Australia 11/10/2020 | Corey Wingard MP | More Jobs | Better Services A tidal wave of major construction is heading for South Australia with works starting on more than $1 billion worth of infrastructure projects within the next six months. The building boom kicks off this month and will support more than 1,300 jobs as the Marshall Government continues to build what matters to South Australians. Major construction begins on two of the biggest regional infrastructure projects ever undertaken in this state - the Port Wakeeld Overpass and Highway Duplication and the Joy Baluch AM Bridge Duplication Project. Showcasing a commitment to improving regional roads, next month shoulder sealing works will also begin on the Tod and Birdseye Highways. In metropolitan Adelaide, major construction works will start by the end of the year on the much anticipated upgrade of the intersection of Goodwood, Springbank and Daws Roads, as well as the Main North, Kings and McIntyre Roads Intersection Upgrade. Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Corey Wingard said these important projects will support our economy and deliver jobs at a time when our state needs it most will support our economy and deliver jobs at a time when our state needs it most. “The economic challenges our state is facing at the moment are unprecedented,” Minister Wingard said. “Getting major works started on infrastructure projects across South Australia will help keep the economy ring as we navigate our way through the COVID-19 pandemic. “Creating jobs is critical to our economic recovery and we’re delivering around 1,315 over the next six months in road infrastructure projects alone.

  • NORTH FREMANTLE RAILWAY BRIDGE COLLAPSE 1926 an Accident Waiting to Happen?
    NORTH FREMANTLE RAILWAY BRIDGE COLLAPSE 1926 An accident waiting to happen? Heather Campbell In July 1926 very heavy rains in the South West of Western Australia caused ‘extensive washaways’ in the railway system1 and were thought to be responsible for the collapse of the Fremantle Railway Bridge on 22 July of that year. This was the second railway bridge across the Swan River and had been opened in November 1895. The first bridge, completed in August 1880, was for construction traffic for the Fremantle – Perth – Guildford railway line. This second bridge, was more substantial than the first and capable of taking heavier locomotives.2 The condition of the bridge caused comment almost from its opening. In December 1897 concern was expressed about its stability due to dredging of the harbour, the strength of the tide and the potential for cargo boats and steamers to collide with it3. Again, in October 1903, ‘some alarm’ was expressed but the foundations were found to be safe and secure4. None the less, in August 1905 questions were again being asked about the ‘dangerous nature of the substructure’ of the bridge.5 Fremantle Railway Bridge and houses on Riverside Road, Fremantle, 1907 (SLWA 009669PD) Location of the 2nd railway bridge, c 1890s? (SLWA MAPR0000346) Its condition remained a concern and in 1911: ‘… a couple of engine-drivers got a sudden shock the other day when crossing it.
