a wholly‐owned subsidiary of Seafarms Group Ltd (Seafarms) is developing Project Sea Dragon ‐ a large‐scale, integrated, land‐based prawn aquaculture project in northern Australia. It is a staged development of up to 10,000 hectares (ha) of production ponds at Legune Station in the Northern Territory (NT), with supporting facilities across Western Australia (WA) and the NT. Project Sea Dragon is designed to produce high‐quality, year‐round reliable volumes for export markets for Black Tiger prawns (Penaeus monodon). Project Sea Dragon includes the development a processing plant to support the operation of the Stage 1 Legune Grow‐out Facility. The following document outlines the project description for the processing plant and includes: General information such as the proponent, project location, land and ownership details. A project schedule for the construction and operation of the processing plant. A summary of the key project components to be developed. A description of the production process including the operating hours and capacity of the processing plant. Details of water use and management, waste management, power demand and supply, workforce, access and traffic, construction methods, project commissioning and decommissioning and project alternatives. 1.1 OVERVIEW OF PROJECT SEA DRAGON Project Sea Dragon has been declared a Major Project of Strategic Importance in Western Australia and has also been granted Major Project status by the Northern Territory and Commonwealth Governments. Project Sea Dragon is a world class prawn aquaculture project, recognising that the demands on wild caught fisheries cannot be sustained without supplementary resources from other means. The project has been developed to be a low environmental impact aquaculture project ‐ low cost, long term, sustainable operation, with strong biosecurity and environmental controls, and utilising best practice marine and aquaculture science.

  • Kunmanggur, Legend and Leadership a Study of Indigenous Leadership and Succession Focussing on the Northwest Region of the North
    KUNMANGGUR , LEGEND AND LEADERSHIP A STUDY OF INDIGENOUS LEADERSHIP AND SUCCESSION FOCUSSING ON THE NORTHWEST REGION OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY OF AUSTRALIA Bill Ivory Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Charles Darwin University 2009 Declaration This is to certify that this thesis comprises only my original work towards the Ph.D., except where indicated, that due acknowledgement has been made in the text to all other materials used, and that this thesis is less than 100,000 words in length excluding Figures, Tables and Appendices. Bill Ivory 2009 ii Acknowledgements I wish to thank my supervisors Kate Senior, Diane Smith and Will Sanders. They have been extremely supportive throughout this research process with their expert advice, enthusiasm and encouragement. A core group of Port Keats leaders supported this thesis project. They continually encouraged me to record their stories for the prosperity of their people. These people included Felix Bunduck, Laurence Kulumboort, Bernard Jabinee, Patrick Nudjulu, Leo Melpi, Les Kundjil, Aloyisius Narjic, Bede Lantjin, Terence Dumoo, Ambrose Jongmin. Mathew Pultchen, Gregory Mollinjin, Leo Melpi, Cassima Narndu, Gordon Chula and many other people. Sadly, some of these leaders passed away since the research commenced and I hope that this thesis is some recognition of their extraordinary lives. Boniface Perdjert, senior traditional owner and leader for the Kardu Diminin clan was instrumental in arranging for me to attend ceremonies and provided expert information and advice. He was also, from the start, very keen to support the project. Leon Melpi told me one day that he and his middle-aged generation are „anthropologists‟ and he is right.

  • EPBC Act Referral - Project Sea Dragon Stage 1 Hatchery - Gunn Point
    EPBC Act referral - Project Sea Dragon Stage 1 Hatchery - Gunn Point Title of Proposal - Project Sea Dragon Stage 1 Hatchery - Gunn Point Section 1 - Summary of your proposed action Provide a summary of your proposed action, including any consultations undertaken. 1.1 Project Industry Type Aquaculture 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities. This EPBC Act referral has been prepared for the Project Sea Dragon Stage 1 Hatchery (the Project) proposed to be developed at Gunn Point in the Northern Territory. The Stage 1 Hatchery is a component of a larger project, Project Sea Dragon. Project Sea Dragon is a large, fully integrated, prawn aquaculture project located in northern Australia. Project Sea Dragon will be delivered as an integrated production system, providing reliable, long-term, high quality and large scale production of Black Tiger prawns (Penaeus monodon). Project Sea Dragon focuses on sustainable land use and integrated design practices to maintain surrounding river and coastal environments and support adjacent agricultural land uses. For the reasons outlined in Sections 1.15 and 1.16, this referral relates only to the Project Sea Dragon Stage 1 Hatchery. The Stage 1 Hatchery has the sole purpose of producing post-larval prawns for the Stage 1 Legune Grow-out Facility, located at Legune Station over 800 km from the proposed Project site. The Stage 1 Hatchery involves: - the breeding, spawning, and rearing of larval prawns until they are 15 days into the post-larval stage within the Stage 1 Hatchery module; - the supply, storage, use and discharge of seawater and freshwater; - the generation of power; - the construction and operation of ancillary infrastructure such as waste management facilities, sewerage systems, road infrastructure, managers accommodation and site administration.

A number of press clippings relevant to the closure of the meatworks and the future of the State shipping service are attached. ' Hi story The township of Wyndham was established in 1886 primarily as an off-loading point for miners proceeding to the Halls Creek goldrush. It later became the Kimberley base for the firm of Connor and Doherty (later to become Connor, Doherty and Durack) which acted as a broker to the fledgling pastoral industry, and eventually owned a number of pastoral leases in the region. J\fter much lobbying by Kimberley pastoralists, the Wyndham meatworks was built and opened in 1919, but was immediately beset by 1 diffi cult i es caused by inexperienced workers and strikes for higher pay• (Durack 1983: 365).
