  • BLACKFORD RESERVE KIN S 06 Place Name and Address
    BLACKFORD RESERVE KIN S 06 Place Name and Address: Blackford Reserve Rowney Road Blackford SA 5275 SUMMARY OF HERITAGE VALUE: Description: The Blackford Reserve consists of a large area of land bisected by Rowney Road. There are two stone cottages standing on the east side of the road, and one of stone and mixed materials on the west side. Most of the reserve is covered by native scrub, in a district where most land has been cleared for farming. Statement of Heritage Value: Commencing in about the 1880s, the Blackford Reserve was continuously occupied by an Indigenous community until the 1940s, and is still used today. It is the most substantial evidence of the historical and continuing relationship between European and Aboriginal people in the South-East. In addition, while there are a number of places entered in the SA Heritage Register because of their role in the interaction between European and Aboriginal South Australians, including all or part of the settlements at Poonindie, Moorundie, Point Pearce, Raukkan (Point McLeay) and Killalpaninna, all these settlements differ from Blackford Reserve in one fundamental respect. All were created, administered and supervised on a day-to-day basis by European staff. Most were run by church missionaries, Moorundie and Point Pearce by government officers, but all were European. Blackford is fundamentally different in being a settlement run entirely by and for its Aboriginal residents. Relevant Criteria (Under Section 16 of the Heritage Act 1993): (a) It demonstrates important aspects of the evolution or pattern of the State's history (d) It is an outstanding representative of a particular class of places of cultural significance RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Blackford Reserve be provisionally entered in the South Australian Heritage Register, and that it be declared a place of archaeological significance.

  • INVENTORY of ROCK TYPES, HABITATS, and BIODIVERSITY on ROCKY SEASHORES in SOUTH AUSTRALIA's TWO SOUTH-EAST MARINE PARKS: Pilot
    INVENTORY OF ROCK TYPES, HABITATS, AND BIODIVERSITY ON ROCKY SEASHORES IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA’S TWO SOUTH-EAST MARINE PARKS: Pilot Study A report to the South Australian Department of Environment, Water, and Natural Resources Nathan Janetzki, Peter G. Fairweather & Kirsten Benkendorff June 2015 1 Table of contents Abstract 3 Introduction 4 Methods 5 Results 11 Discussion 32 References cited 42 Appendix 1: Photographic plates 45 Appendix 2: Graphical depiction of line-intercept transects 47 Appendix 3: Statistical outputs 53 2 Abstract Geological, habitat, and biodiversity inventories were conducted across six rocky seashores in South Australia’s (SA) two south-east marine parks during August 2014, prior to the final implementation of zoning and establishment of management plans for each marine park. These inventories revealed that the sampled rocky seashores in SA’s South East Region were comprised of several rock types: a soft calcarenite, Mount Gambier limestone, and/or a harder flint. Furthermore, these inventories identified five major types of habitat across the six sampled rocky seashores, which included: emersed substrate; submerged substrate; boulders; rock pools; and sand deposits. Overall, a total of 12 marine plant species and 46 megainvertebrate species were recorded across the six sampled seashores in the Lower South East and Upper South East Marine Parks. These species richness values are considerably lower than those recorded previously for rocky seashores in other parts of SA. Low species richness may result from the type of rock that constitutes south-east rocky seashores, the interaction between rock type and strong wave action and/or large swells, or may reflect the time of year (winter) during which these inventories were conducted.

  • The Environmental, Social and Human Health Importance of the Aquifers and Wetlands of the Lower South East of South Australia An
    The environmental, social and human health importance of the aquifers and wetlands of the Lower South East of South Australia and SW Victoria and the increasing threats to their existence. My submission to the Senate Select Committee on Unconventional Gas Mining March 2016 I am Marcia Lorenz B.A. Grad. Dip. Ed. Admin., a retired school teacher. I only discovered the attractions of the South East when I came to Beachport 12 years ago. I am a volunteer at the Millicent High School where I support the Aboriginal children in their work with their culture and the environment. I am also a volunteer with other environmental groups in the region. My submission concerns the likely detrimental effect of unconventional gas extraction (“fracking”) on the aquifers and wetlands of the South East of South Australia and therefore on the myriad of species, both flora and fauna that constitute wetland habitats. 1 HISTORY Historically, post white settlement, wetlands were viewed as wastelands with no thought being given to the natural environment and the diversity of species they contained. Economics was the driving force. It would be wonderful if we could say that times have changed and politically there is the realisation that in order for humans to exist, the natural environment must be taken into consideration. After all we now have knowledge that wasn’t available to the ordinary person in the early days of settlement. Post European settlement change in land use has significantly altered the landscape of the South East resulting in the loss of many areas of wetland habitat with <6% of the original wetland extent now remaining.1 An estimated 2,515 km.

  • The Blue Lake - Frequently Asked Questions
    The Blue Lake - Frequently Asked Questions FACT SHEET | JULY 2014 FAST FACTS Why does the Lake change Capacity: 30,000 megalitres on current levels. One colour? megalitre is 1000kL, one kilolitre is 1000 litres. The colour change happens over a few days in late November and early December and Depth: Maximum depth of 72m metres continues to deepen during summer. There are many theories about the famous colour Shoreline: Approximately 3.5km kilometres change of the lake, from grey in winter to vivid blue in summer – the following explanation Surface area: Approximately 70ha 59 hectares summarises the general understanding from recent research. Height above sea level: The crater rim is 100m 115 The clear water in the Blue Lake turns vibrant metres above sea level (at its highest point) and the blue in summer for two reasons. First, the Blue Lake water level 11.5m above sea level in 2007. The higher position of the sun in summer means lake level is approximately 28m below Commercial St more light hits the surface of the lake. This level increases the blue light that is scattered back out from the lake by small particles. Pure water Water supply: Currently SA Water pumps an average of tends to scatter light in the blue range, small 3500 megalitres per year particles (such as CaCO3 or calcium carbonate crystals) scatter light in the blue-green range Why is the Lake so blue? and dissolved organic matter (tannins) scatter in the yellow-brown range. The water in the Blue Lake is clear due to During spring the surface of the lake warms, several important natural cleaning processes.

  • Written Submission in Response to the Regional Development Strategy Discussion Paper
    25 July 2019 Regions SA Re: Regional Development Strategy Discussion Paper Primary Industries and Regions SA GPO Box 1671 Adelaide, SA 5001 Dear Sir/Madam, Re: Regional Development Strategy consultation On behalf of Tatiara District Council, I am pleased to make a written submission in response to the Regional Development Strategy discussion paper. Diverse regions The Tatiara is a prosperous and innovative district, boasting a diverse agricultural base, including grains and stock, vineyards, small seeds, flowers, vegetables and olives, and strong businesses like Bordertown’s JBS Australia or Keith’s Master Butchers Co-operative Ltd (MBL). Our district has proven fertile ground for entrepreneurs like Tatiara Truck & Trailers, the second largest truck repair and maintenance business in South Australia, or Keith Timber Group, a dominant player in the South Australian frame and truss, timber and hardware markets, with sites located in Adelaide, Keith, Murray Bridge and Naracoorte. Other exciting ventures are just emerging, like Good Country Hemp’s hemp processing plant, or Blue Lake Milling’s anaerobic digester converting oat husks into electricity. We are in the enviable position of having run out of space at our industrial estates in Bordertown and Keith, and are in the process of opening stage 3 of the Bordertown Industrial Estate. Stage 2 of the Keith Industrial Estate will follow this year. At a time that Australia welcomes an unemployment rate of 5.1% we have an unemployment rate of 1.7%, meaning that our businesses have to bring in significant labour from outside the region to fill vacancies. However, if there is one thing that we, like many other regions, are failing to do, it is to promote this diversity and the exciting story of our entrepreneurs and opportunities.
