  • Native Title in the News – November & December 2000
    We are busily completing the final production of the proceedings from last year’s Native Title Representative Bodies Legal Conference, held in Melbourne in April 2000. Bryan Keon-Cohen QC has been working furiously to edit the papers, a selection of which will be published in the book with a great deal of additional material to be included on an accompanying CD. The result will be an exciting and very important publication. So, look out for Native Title in the New Millennium. Hot on the heels of the proceedings we are working on the next NTRB Legal Conference which will be a celebration of the 20 year Anniversary of the Townsville conference that initiated the Mabo litigation. The conference will be held in Townsville on the 28-30 August 2001. We will keep you posted on developments with the organisation of the event. NATIVE TITLE IN THE NEWS – NOVEMBER & DECEMBER 2000 New South Wales Land holders and other interest holders affected by the Muthi Muthi native title application over 23,829 square kilometres in south western New South Wales have been invited by the National Native Title Tribunal to register for mediation talks.

  • Chapter 1: General Introduction
    Chapter 1: General introduction Chapter 1: General Introduction 1.1 Introduction The biogeochemical cycling of key elements within ecosystems is comprised of a complex array of abiotic and biotic processes. The stoichiometry or the mass-balance of elements is a measure of their total mass present within an ecosystem. Ecological stoichiometry theory recognizes that the ratio of ecosystem elements controls the rates of the biotic ecological processes which recycle these elements (Sterner & Elser 2002, Cross et al. 2005). However, the rates at which these ecological processes occur can also be influenced by many other abiotic parameters and processes. At the basal level of aquatic systems, autotrophic and heterotrophic communities are responsible for some of the main biotic processes that control the cycling of the key ecosystem elements, carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) (Sterner & Elser 2002, Cross et al. 2005). Photosynthesis is the dominant process that produces carbon, while autotrophic respiration or the heterotrophic decomposition of organic matter are the main pathways for carbon utilisation in aquatic systems. As both of these processes require N and P, the concentrations at which they are available to consumers will control the rate at which these elements are retained and recycled within the system (Sterner & Elser 2002, Cross et al. 2005). In lotic systems, the cycling of key elements is also controlled through abiotic ecosystem processes and their interaction with biotic processes (Brookes et al. 2005). The main abiotic factors that can affect the biotic process of autotrophic production in streams are light (Bunn et al. 1999, Bott et al. 2006), substrate (Cardinale et al.

  • Border Rivers Community Profile: Irrigation Region
    Border Rivers community profile Irrigation region Key issues for the region 1. Region’s population — the population of the Border Rivers region is approximately 49,646, and the ABS records around 570 irrigating agricultural businesses. 2. Gross value of irrigated agricultural production ­­— the drought affected gross value of irrigated agricultural production for 2006 in the Border Rivers was $350million. 3. Water entitlements (approximate) • Surface Water Long-term Cap (long-term average annual extraction volume) 399 GL, to be shared between NSW and Queensland. • High Security — 1 GL (NSW). • General Security 265 GL (NSW). • Supplementary licences 120 GL (NSW). • Groundwater entitlements — nominal volume 7 GL (Queensland). • Surface water entitlements upper reaches (unsupplemented) — nominal volume 21 GL (Queensland). • Surface water entitlements in the lower reaches (supplemented) nominal volume 102 GL (Queensland). • Surface water entitlements in the lower reaches (unsupplemented) — nominal volume 210 GL (Queensland). 4. Major enterprises — broadacre furrow irrigation, principally cotton, is the major irrigated enterprise, with cereal crops, fodder crops, fruit and vegetables also grown in different parts of the catchment. 5. Government Buyback — the Commonwealth Government’s buyback in the region has been 7 GL so far. 6. Water dependence — The Border Rivers is highly dependent on water, because agriculture, particularly irrigated agriculture, is a major driver in the economies of Goondiwindi, Stanthorpe and several smaller towns. 7. Current status • The Border Rivers is an agricultural region with several large towns, notably Inverell, Glen Innes, Goondiwindi, Stanthorpe and Tenterfield, with relatively diverse economies. Of these, Goondiwindi and Stanthorpe are more irrigation dependent towns likely to be affected significantly by any move to lower sustainable diversion limits.

Alought the percentage may seem small as an average (Approx. 17% per annum) large flows have at times contributed markedly in times when the Lower Murray River had periods of low or no flow. This was especially evident during the Millennium Drought when a large flow was shepherded through to the Lower Lakes and Coorong thereby averting what would have been a natural disaster and the possibility of Adelaide running out of water.

BACKGROUND Council resolved to investigate safety concerns related to school bus runs through Wheeo Road and Peelwood Road (min 139/19). Both roads have been inspected on 25 July 2019 and 26 July 2019 respectively, as per the Council resolution. Wheeo Road was inspected from Grabben Gullen Road to Boorowa Road, with Peelwood Road inspected from Laggan Road to Cooksvale Road. This report outlines the outcome of the two site investigations. REPORT This report addresses the safety concerns related to school bus routes on Wheeo Road and Peelwood Road. Please see attached the two reports for further details of site inspection investigations as Attachment 1 and Attachment 2. The sealing of the unsealed section of Peelwood Road may require up to $18m and therefore unlikely to receive funding in the near future.
