    132 UNITED: A HISTORY OF THE MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES UNION IN NSW 15 The Electricity Industry rom its earliest years the Union became involved in the electricity industry, enrolling F members employed in various classifications in the Electricity Department of the City Council, including workers at Pyrmont Power Station, but not embracing those employed as tradesmen.1 Issues over pay and conditions, seniority, and redundancies occurred regularly, particularly with fluctuations in the need for power supply. One early issue in 1915 was that time clocks were not opened until the precise time of ceasing work, which meant that employees could not have a bath before then, resulting in delays in leaving the premises and consequently missed transport connections. This was rectified by management agreeing to open time clocks five minutes before ceasing time.2 By 1924, the City Council had gradually extended its electricity supply area, retailing its power in thirty-four Sydney suburbs, and supplying electricity in bulk to another seven suburbs. However, to achieve this, the City Council had to purchase electricity from the Railway Commissioners. To meet increasing demands, the City Council then constructed the largest electricity generating power station in the Southern Hemisphere, seven miles (eleven kms.) from central Sydney, on the northern shore of Botany Bay. It was called Bunnerong (Aboriginal for Sleeping Lizard), the name of the area on which it was constructed. It was stated in 1928 that “it would stand as a monumental work of members of the Union, who were mainly employed on its construction, there being on site about one thousand employees”.3 Bunnerong Power Station Source: S.

  • THE MAKING of the NEWCASTLE INDUSTRIAL HUB 1915 to 1950
    THE MAKING OF THE NEWCASTLE INDUSTRIAL HUB 1915 to 1950 Robert Martin Kear M.Bus. (University of Southern Queensland) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Master of Philosophy in History January 2018 This research was supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY I hereby certify that the work embodied in the thesis is my own work, conducted under normal supervision. The thesis contains no material which has been accepted, or is being examined, for the award of any other degree or diploma in any other university or other tertiary institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made in the text. I give consent to the final version of my thesis being made available worldwide when deposited in the University’s Digital Repository, subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968 and any approved embargo. Robert Kear ii ABSTRACT Aim of this Thesis The aim of this thesis is to chart the formation of the Newcastle Industrial Hub and to identify the men who controlled it, in its journey from Australian regional obscurity before 1915, to be the core of Australian steel manufacturing and technological development by 1950. This will be achieved through an examination of the progressive and consistent application of strategic direction and the adoption of manufacturing technologies that progressively lowered the manufacturing cost of steel. This thesis will also argue that, coupled with tariff and purchasing preferences assistance, received from all levels of government, the provision of integrated logistic support services from Newcastle’s public utilities and education services underpinned its successful commercial development.

THE ARCHIVE OF POWER: DRAWINGS AND WANGI POWER STATION Michael Chapman | University of Newcastle Leonie Matthews | University of Notre Dame The power station at Wangi Wangi, located on the edge of Lake Macquarie in New South Wales, is one of the largest and most ambitious pieces of architectural infrastructure in Australia’s post-war history and marks a key shift in approaches to both power production and industrialisation. Built across a decade of construction at the culmination of the Second World War, the power station was the result of a drawn archive of over 8000 architectural drawings, which meticulously document every element and fragment of the building: its siting, its detailing, the machinery and its eventual operation and connection with the state’s electrical grid.

  • Background Frequently Asked Questions
    Background A strategy to systematically prioritise, assess and respond to notifications under Section 60 of the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997 (CLM Act) has been developed by the EPA. This strategy acknowledges the EPA’s obligations to make information available to the public under Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009 . When a site is notified to the EPA, it may be accompanied by detailed site reports where the owner has been proactive in addressing the contamination and its source. However, often there is minimal information on the nature or extent of the contamination. After receiving a report, the first step is to confirm that the report does not relate to a pollution incident. The Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (POEO Act) deals with pollution incidents, waste stockpiling or dumping. The EPA also has an incident management process to manage significant incidents (https://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/reporting-and-incidents/incident- management). In many cases, the information indicates the contamination is securely immobilised within the site, such as under a building or carpark, and is not currently causing any significant risks for the community or environment. Such sites may still need to be cleaned up, but this can be done in conjunction with any subsequent building or redevelopment of the land. These sites do not require intervention under the CLM Act, and are dealt with through the planning and development consent process. In these cases, the EPA informs the local council or other planning authority, so that the information can be recorded and considered at the appropriate time (https://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/your-environment/contaminated-land/managing-contaminated-land/role-of-planning- authorities).

  • Nothing Is Impossible
    Nothing Is Impossible Adventures in cerebral palsy By Neil McLeod www.thespasticcentre.com.au © The Spastic Centre, 2007 From an unpublished manuscript, 1986 Our gratitude to Jan Bradbury for her work in the preparation of this book. Cover photograph: Image from early brochure of The Spastic Centre ISBN 1876564091 The Spastic Centre 189 Allambie Road Allambie Heights NSW 2100 T 02 9451 9022 F 02 9451 4877 E [email protected] W www.thespasticcentre.com.au 2 Foreword This is the story of two unique people, Audrie and Neil McLeod, who struggled against the prevailing beliefs of a particular time in Australian history to find causes and solutions for cerebral palsy. It documents the growth of an organisation that would provide the template for so many families also facing the issues resulting from the disabilities of their children. It shows what can happen when the community understands and responds to a call for justice for some of its most vulnerable members. The Spastic Centre of New South Wales could never have come into existence without the collective power of parents who challenged the status quo which treated them as victims and who were determined that the needs of their child would not be dismissed nor neglected. It is also an Australian expression of the story of mateship, of a ‘fair go’, of people supporting and nurturing each other, of community development, of conflict, turbulence and change. This is the story of my family – particularly my sister, Jennifer, who started my parents on their life pathways. Robin Way 2006 Acknowledgement The first version of this book was published by the Simul Press in Japan in 1994 as a consequence of the deep and enduring ties formed between The Spastic Centre of NSW and the McLeod Society of Japan, in particular the late Mr Takeo Noda, Dr Takahashi, and Professor Ohtsuka.
