  • Members Newsletter
    Castlemaine and Maldon Railway Preservation Members Society Newsletter January 2013 Fire Danger Reaches High Level - Diesel Power Now In Use Following a recent lineside fire near Muckleford, and with the current extended dry period, after a wet winter, the risk of fire from operating a steam locomotive has now risen to an unacceptable point and as such, we are now running all services with diesel-electric locomotive Y133, which is on long -term loan from our good friends at the Seymour Rail Heritage Centre. This will continue until the risk of fire has decreased to an acceptable level. Thank You Neville Many members will be saddened to know that at the last meeting of the Board of Management, the resignation of long time member and Responsible Officer, Neville Elliott, was accepted. Neville has worked tirelessly for the past 10 or 11 years in the position of responsible officer which involved a great deal of work around the time of the introduction of the Rail Safety Act and regulations, and he has done this work cheerfully and in a way that made the task of dealing with the new Act and regulations much more straightforward. Neville has decided that with some health issues becoming more evident that the time is right for him to step aside and he will now look towards involvement in other areas of the Railway, while assisting with the transition to a new Responsible Officer. The Board acknowledges Neville's contribution over the years and many will recall that he was awarded Honorary Life Membership of the Society at last year's Annual General Meeting.

    risks Article Modelling Australian Dollar Volatility at Multiple Horizons with High-Frequency Data Long Hai Vo 1,2 and Duc Hong Vo 3,* 1 Economics Department, Business School, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia; [email protected] 2 Faculty of Finance, Banking and Business Administration, Quy Nhon University, Binh Dinh 560000, Vietnam 3 Business and Economics Research Group, Ho Chi Minh City Open University, Ho Chi Minh City 7000, Vietnam * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 1 July 2020; Accepted: 17 August 2020; Published: 26 August 2020 Abstract: Long-range dependency of the volatility of exchange-rate time series plays a crucial role in the evaluation of exchange-rate risks, in particular for the commodity currencies. The Australian dollar is currently holding the fifth rank in the global top 10 most frequently traded currencies. The popularity of the Aussie dollar among currency traders belongs to the so-called three G’s—Geology, Geography and Government policy. The Australian economy is largely driven by commodities. The strength of the Australian dollar is counter-cyclical relative to other currencies and ties proximately to the geographical, commercial linkage with Asia and the commodity cycle. As such, we consider that the Australian dollar presents strong characteristics of the commodity currency. In this study, we provide an examination of the Australian dollar–US dollar rates. For the period from 18:05, 7th August 2019 to 9:25, 16th September 2019 with a total of 8481 observations, a wavelet-based approach that allows for modelling long-memory characteristics of this currency pair at different trading horizons is used in our analysis.

  • Integrated Transport Plan
    Integrated Transport Plan Background Paper i Background Paper January 2017 This background paper was compiled by Hobsons Bay City Council. For further information contact Council on 9932 1000 or at www.hobsonsbay.vic.gov.au Council acknowledges all language groups of the Kulin Nation as the traditional owners of these municipal lands. We recognise the first people’s relationship to this land and offer our respect to their elders past and present. Council also acknowledges the legal responsibility to comply with the Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 and the Equal Opportunity Act 2010. ii Executive summary The purpose of this background paper is to present an evidence base to inform future integrated transport planning in Hobsons Bay. Background Council released the Hobsons Bay Integrated Transport Strategy in 2006. More recently, consultation has identified ‘access to transport’ as an ongoing issue, particularly in neighbourhoods with limited transport options and high car dependency. In response to these concerns, Council committed to commence the development of an Integrated Transport Plan in 2014, with the first step being to develop a background paper. This background paper reinforces the need for long term strategic planning to coordinate Hobsons Bay’s interrelated transport modes into an integrated system. This ‘network approach’ is underpinned by a sustainable transport hierarchy that prioritises active, public and freight transport, while encouraging reduced private car use. Integrated transport planning can
