  • Learning from the Past Research Project – Central Coast, NSW
    Governance 21 Learning from the Past Research Project – Central Coast, NSW Rolf Fenner Australian Local Government Association Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT In 2003, the then Sustainable Ecosystems Division of the CSIRO was engaged by the Central Coast Region of NSW to undertake a detailed regional futures analysis based on a dynamic systems approach (Senge, 1992). A key component of such a research approach was the need to better understand and appreciate the historical context of previous regional planning policy initiatives. As a regional planning practitioner of several years experience, I was engaged by the CSIRO to undertake this “learning from the past” investigation. This paper summaries the value of such a research project by both examining the methodology adopted and findings arising from such an investigation. In short, the paper argues that as a consequence of reflecting on past policy experiences it is possible to better understand and appreciate what policy decisions were previously undertaken, and subsequently improve the opportunities for future policy decision making and implementation. A total of eighteen individuals were interviewed for the project. The regional participants chosen to be interviewed were a mixture of previous community leaders, politicians or senior professional bureaucrats. To encourage frank discussion and minimise any possibility of conflict of interests, all research participants at the time of interview were no longer in their substantive positions they once held. The process of identifying key individuals and relying on oral histories is not without methodological deficiencies. Whilst acknowledging these potential weaknesses, the project nevertheless was able to make a valuable contribution to regional planning on the Central Coast by identifying previous experiences and policy relationships as they related to matters of social, economic, environmental and local/ regional governance.

  • Measuring Success of Active Saltmarsh Restoration in Tuggerah Lakes
    MEASURING SUCCESS OF ACTIVE SALTMARSH RESTORATION IN TUGGERAH LAKES P Laegdsgaard 1, N McGaharan 2 1Umwelt, Australia, Teralba, NSW 2Wyong Shire Council, Wyong, NSW Abstract As part of the Tuggerah Lakes Estuary Management Plan, Wyong Council identified specific areas for re-establishment of saltmarsh to the shores of the Tuggerah Lakes Estuary. These locations were highly modified and elevated above the water level of the lake. In Tuggerah Lakes the minimal tidal exchange combined with other impacts such as mowing and trampling inhibit the expansion any saltmarsh present. Restoration activities at these sites consisted of excavation to re-grade the foreshore area to reclaim natural hydrological processes suitable for saltmarsh establishment. This was followed by a replanting program using tube-stock and transplantation of salvaged saltmarsh species. It was considered important to establish the success of the restoration activities through a scientifically rigorous monitoring program and an adaptive management approach to the staggered restoration timeframe. It was initially predicted that, with regular watering of newly established saltmarsh with saline/brackish water, recovery could be achieved within 12 to 24 months of planting. Monitoring results showed this was not achieved due to low survivorship of tubestock in the low shore and slow expansion of saltmarsh in the upper shore. This has been linked to lack of regular tidal influence and fluctuating lake levels limiting the rapid expansion of the newly established saltmarsh in the Tuggerah Lakes estuary. It is now evident that rehabilitation to a level of reference sites has been achieved in sites that have had three and a half years of recovery time.

  • Tuggerah Estuary Management Study
    Management Status 2.2.7 Sewerage Management The reticulated sewerage system of Wyong Shire is generally confined to the urban areas, with septic systems being used in the rural areas. The reticulated system has built-in failure points where sewage can overflow in case of pump failure, or similar problems. Generally, the overflow points will be adjacent to stormwater systems or a waterway. Given that sewage is high in nutrients and turbid, it can have a significant impact on downstream environments. Septic systems, if well contained and frequently serviced, do not necessarily increase sediment and nutrient loads. However, poorly maintained systems can overflow or fracture, leaching nutrients and sediment into surface and groundwater flows. The reticulated system overflows relatively infrequently. However, it should be remembered that the reticulated system is composed of both a domestic sewerage line and trade waste line. Both lines have an overflow capacity, which allows discharge into the stormwater system. A significant overflow to Tumbi Creek occurred in May 2003, which saw 72,000L of effluent discharged following a combined pump/power failure at a pumping station (WSC, 2003a). Although unintentional and quickly rectified, this kind of discharge can have significant nutrient impacts on downstream environments. Four non-significant sewage overflows occurred in the Wyong system during 2001/02. Two were due to blockages of mains and two due to power failure at pump stations (WSC, 2002). The overflow points are sometimes located adjacent to sensitive environmental areas. For example, the overflow at Fishburn Drain can discharge sewage and trade waste to the Porters Creek wetland.

  • Systematic Conservation Assessments for Marine Protected Areas in New South Wales, Australia
    This file is part of the following reference: Breen, Daniel A. (2007) Systematic conservation assessments for marine protected areas in New South Wales, Australia. PhD thesis, James Cook University. Access to this file is available from: http://eprints.jcu.edu.au/2039 Hawkesbury Shelf assessment 7 MPA assessment of the Hawkesbury Shelf bioregion 7.1 Introduction The NSW Marine Parks Authority aims to establish and manage a comprehensive, adequate and representative system of marine protected areas (MPAs) to help conserve marine biodiversity and maintain marine ecosystem processes (NSW Marine Parks Authority 2001). The Hawkesbury Shelf bioregional assessment is one of several projects to systematically assess broad scale patterns of biodiversity within each of five NSW marine bioregions and identify where additional MPAs may be required (Figure 7.1). This chapter summarises the broad scale information and methods used to identify some options for new MPAs on the basis of ecological criteria alone. Possible areas for large, multiple use marine parks are identified and important locations and conservation values within each are described (Section 7.5 and Appendix 3). Given the uncertainty involved in assessing biodiversity and the complex issues involved, a strong emphasis is placed on presenting information and methods to examine a range of options.
