( Palaeontologist, National 1J1usem·n, JJ:[elboiirne) and Professor TV. N. Benson, B.A., D.Sc. (University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealcind.) The Australian graptolite fauna is probably the most complete in the world, certainly in regard to its Ordovician components, a fact clearly appreciated by McCoy. He had ready for the press descriptions and figures of most of the species afterwards described in J amcs Hall's J\fonograph published iu 1865, which may be regarded as the basis of systematic graptolite research, when he received from Hall a proof of his fignres. McCoy immediately conceded him priority and adopted his specific names. Had Hall delayed sending his proof, McCoy wonld certainly have pnblisl1ed his figures and descriptions and his name would have been just as pl'ominent in the literature of graptoliies as Hall's. Com­ menting on "Graptolitcs (Didymograpsus) frutieosus (Hall sp.)," l\IcCoy snys, "this is the first Victorian gmptolitc I ever smv, and, as it was then a new species, I had named it in my .MSS. after J\fr.

  • Darley-Power-Fight.Pdf
    Response to the Renewable Energy Zone Development Plan Directions Paper I am contacting you to provide feedback on the State Government of Victoria REZ Development Plan Directions Paper with specific reference to the Western: V3 Project, the Western Victoria Transmission Network Project (WVTNP) North Ballarat to Bulgana. This project involves constructing a 500kV overhead transmission line from North Ballarat to Sydenham. The project has been identified in the REZ Development Plan Directions Paper as having a ‘High Risk’ of delivery for the following reasons: • Project within greenfield area therefore vegetation clearing required. • Infrastructure close to sensitive areas • Conflicting land use • Potential conflicting regarding future residential development. • Potential community concerns regarding increased visual impacts and environmental impacts. The proponent for the WVTNP, AusNet Services, has identified an Area of Interest (AoI) and has further narrowed potential corridors, one of these is immediately north of Darley between existing residential and the Lerderderg State Park. I am the spokesperson for Darley Power Fight, a group representing communities in Darley, Coimadai and Merrimu, Victoria. We are in full support of Renewable Energy Zones provided associated projects are delivered through effective stakeholder consultation with consideration of communities, the environment, and economic impacts. The current regulatory framework does not consider the projects disbenefit and only considers project cost versus economic benefit

    ANNUAL REPORT Leigh Catchment Group 2011/2012 Wattle Flat/Pootilla Landcare Napoleons/Enfield Landcare Ross Creek Landcare Upper Williamson’s Creek Landcare Garibaldi Environment Group Grenville Landcare Bamganie/Meredith Landcare Leigh Districts Landcare Chairperson’s Report : July 2011- June 2012 While 2011-12 brought many challenges and lots of work, there are many highlights to celebrate. Firstly, I thank all board members for their ongoing support. It has been a true team effort with many so willingly taking on roles and attending events and meetings so that the workload is spread. A special thank you to members of the executive for the work they have done to ensure the effective operation of the group. While different roles bring with them various responsibilities, Peter Cameron’s work as treasurer is constant and has been crucial to the efficient financial operation of the network, especially as new project funds are sourced. Peter’s time, effort and developing expertise with funding “buckets” are most appreciated. A key result in 2012 to ensure the ongoing future of the LCG during the next three years to June 30th 2015, was the successful application for funding through the Victorian Local Landcare Facititator Initiative ( VLLFI ) for coordinator funding. While it did take many meetings, discussions and lobbying, along with the support of the CCMA, the result has given LCG the opportunity to not only continue its extremely valuable work in natural resource management in this catchment but also a time extension to implement strategies to become more self-sufficient into the future. It has also provided for the first time, a tenure of employment for our coordinator position, which is longer than 12 months; a major step forward.
