MAIN ROADS ACT, 1924-27. MAIN ROADS BOARD OF NEW SOUTH WALES. THIRD ANNUAL REPORT. (FOR PERIOD 1ST JULY, 1927, TO 30TH JUNE, 1928. The Honorable the Minister for Local Government, Sydney. In accordance with the provisions of section six (6) of the Main Roads Act (No. 24), 19.24, the Main Roads Board of New South Wales has the honour to submit its third annual report for presentation to Parliament through the Minister. The report covers the period from 1st July, 1927, to 30th June, 1928, though a few matters referred to are carried beyond the latter date for convenience and completeness of record. PART I.—PRELIMINARY, CHANGE OF MINISTERS. For the period from 1st July, 1927, to 25th October, 1927, the Main Roads Act was under he administration of the Minister for Labour and Industry, on which latter date it was transferred back to the Minister for Local Government. For that portion of the year under review covered by the administration under the leadership of the Hon. J. T. Lang, i.e., from 1st July to 25th October, 1927, the Hon. R. W. Cruickshank, M.L.C., was in charge as Acting Minister for Labour and Industry until 19th September, 1927, and between this date and 25th October, 1927, the Hon. J. M. Baddeley, M.L.A. On 25th October, 1927, Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. M. F. Bruxner, D.S.O., M.L.A., as Minister for Local Government in the Government led by the Hon. T. R. Bavin, M.L.A., took charge, and is still in charge. TEMPORARY CHANGE OF PERSONNEL OF BOARD. With the passage of the Sydney Corporation Commissioners Act, 1927, vesting the administration of the affairs of the Municipal Council of the City of Sydney in a Civic Commission, Mr. John Garlick, President of the Board, was granted by the Government two (2) years leave of absence from duty with the Board in order to enable him to take up an appointment as one of the Civic Commissioners. Mr. H. H. Newell, Member of the Board, was appointed Deputy President, and Mr. S. R. Henderson, Secretary and Accountant, Deputy Member during Mr. Garlick's absence. These appointments date from 3rd January, 1928. REVERSION TO ORIGINAL FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENTS BY AMENDMENT OF FINANCE (TAXATION MANAGEMENT) ACT, 1926. During the year, Parliament repealed the Finance (Taxation Management) Act, 1926, referred to in the previous annual report, by the passage of Main Roads (Amendment) Act, No. 51, 1927, and re-established the financial provisions of the original Act, by which the whole of the motor taxation and fees from the Metropolitan Traffic Act, less 10 per cent, for the cost of collection, was restored to the Board. This action was in fulfilment of the pre-election promises of the present Government. As the measure was passed in December, 1927, and the whole of the taxation and traffic fees received since 1st July, 1927, had up to that date been paid to the Board in order to fulfil the obligations of the Finance (Taxation Management) Act, 1926, the effect was to make the whole of the motor taxation and motor traffic fees (less 10 per cent, for collection) collected since 1st July, 1927, available to the Board. The amount paid to the Board during the year totalled £1,337,288 15s. 5d., which was apportioned to the two Main Roads Funds as follows :— £ s. d. County of Cumberland Main Roads Fund 323,515 7 1 Country Main Roads Fund ... ' 1,013,773 8 4 The corresponding amounts provided annually under the Finance (Taxation Management) Act, 1926, were :— £ s. d. County of Cumberland Main Roads Fund 112,455 0 0 Country Main Roads Fund 452,382 0 0 So that these two funds have benefited during the year under review by the restoring Act as follows :— £ s. d. County of Cumberland Main Roads Fund 211,060 7 1 Country Main Roads Fund 561,391 8 4 Total £772,452 15 5 -* 15772—A Although the restoration of motor taxation was promised by the Government which was returned to power in October, 1927, it was not possible for the Board to anticipate such legislation in its budgeting. Consequently until December, 1927, it was necessary for the Board to budget on the revenues available under the then existing legislation, and to confine its activities in the country—apart from Federal aid and developmental road works—primarily to assisting Councils in the maintenance of the main roads. Since that'date, *it has been possible to authorise various construction works in the country, but it has not been possible to catch up the leeway of the first six (6) months of the year, when expenditure was adjusted to the lower revenues. In the County of Cumberland, it has been possible to proceed with additional urgent construction works, and to improve the standard of maintenance. ' CLASSES OF ROADS : RE-CLASSIFICATION OF THE MAIN ROAD SYSTEM. The most important single piece of work done by the Board during the year culminated in the announcement on 22nd May, -1928, by^the Minister for Local Government (Lieut.-Col. the Hon. M. F. Bruxner, D.S.O., M.L.A.) to the Shires' Association conference of the Government's scheme for the re­ classification of the country main roads into three classes in accordance with their order of importance, viz. :— State Highways, Trunk Roads, and Main Roads. and of the Metropolitan main roads into two classes, viz.:—• ; State Highways, and Main Roads. The State Highways were defined as " The primary avenues of road communication connecting the State of New South Wales with the neighbouring States, or the far interior with the Coast, especially where no railway communication exists." i.e., the roads which are primarily of national importance, considering the* State as a; whole or as part of the Commonwealth. The roads which have been selected for this classification total 3,581£ miles in length, made up of 3,391 J miles in the country and 190£ miles in the County of Cumberland. They are illustrated on the map which is attached as an appendix to this report, and are as follow :— No. 1. Prince's Highway.—From the City of Sydney at the corner of Cleveland-street •• - .- and City-road, via Newtown, Tom Ugly's Point, Sutherland, Waterfall, Bulli Pass, : \ Wollongong, Minnamurra, Kiama, Berry, Nowra, Ulludulla, Bateman's .Bay, Moruya, Narooma, Cobargo.

  • 'Soils' and 'Vegetation'?
    Is there a close association between ‘soils’ and ‘vegetation’? A case study from central western New South Wales M.O. Rankin1, 3, W.S Semple2, B.W. Murphy1 and T.B. Koen1 1 Department of Natural Resources, PO Box 445, Cowra, NSW 2794, AUSTRALIA 2 Department of Natural Resources, PO Box 53, Orange, NSW 2800, AUSTRALIA 3 Corresponding author, email: [email protected] Abstract: The assumption that ‘soils’ and ‘vegetation’ are closely associated was tested by describing soils and vegetation along a Travelling Stock Reserve west of Grenfell, New South Wales (lat 33° 55’S, long 147° 45’E). The transect was selected on the basis of (a) minimising the effects of non-soil factors (human interference, climate and relief) on vegetation and (b) the presence of various soil and vegetation types as indicated by previous mapping. ‘Soils’ were considered at three levels: soil landscapes (a broad mapping unit widely used in central western NSW), soil types (according to a range of classifications) and soil properties (depth, pH, etc.). ‘Vegetation’ was considered in three ways: vegetation type (in various classifications), density/floristic indices (density of woody species, abundance of native species, etc.) and presence/absence of individual species. Sites along the transect were grouped according to soil landscapes or soil types and compared to vegetation types or indices recorded at the sites. Various measures indicated low associations between vegetation types and soil landscapes or soil types. Except for infrequent occurrences of a soil type or landscape, any one soil type or landscape was commonly associated with a number of vegetation types and any one vegetation type was associated with a number of soil landscapes or soil types.

Weddin Shire Council has seen significant change over the last four years since it developed its first Community Strategic Plan (2013-2023), Delivery Plan and Operational Plan. This Plan reflects these changes. The new Plan is a requirement of the NSW Government and assists the community in better understanding where we are and how we can get to a sustainable future that best meets the whole of community needs. The Weddin Community values its independence and sense of place. Since 2012, the community has continued to express a strong commitment to remaining as an independent Council and improving community amenities so that skills and resources can continue to be attracted to Weddin. In doing so, Weddin embraces the opportunity to work with neighbouring and regional councils and a broad range of government bodies so services can be more efficiently and effectively delivered through a broadly collaborative and inclusive plan.
