  • The Works Approval Process
    3 The works approval process Introduction 3.1 This chapter outlines the steps that Immigration Bridge Australia (IBA) would be required to follow in seeking consideration under the National Capital Authority (NCA) administered works approval process. Further discussion on whether the assessment of the bridge proposal may be required under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cwlth) (the EPBC Act) is included. Indicative timelines for these assessments are also discussed. Particular focus is given to the consultation that would be required to accompany the proposal under each process. Lastly, the maintenance of gifting assets is discussed. Background 3.2 Designated Areas categorised under the National Capital Plan (NCP) embody the special characteristics of the national capital and so are preserved and enhanced in accordance with their character. 3.3 Further, under the requirements of the Australian Capital Territory (Planning and Land Management) Act 1988 (Cwlth) (the PALM Act), any works in a Designated Area are subject to approval by the NCA. 3.4 As the suggested location for the proposed bridge lies within a Designated Area, it is subject to the NCA administered works approval process. 3.5 In addition, as the proposed bridge may have a significant impact on Commonwealth land, it may also be subject to an additional assessment 34 INQUIRY INTO THE IMMIGRATION BRIDGE PROPOSAL by the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA) under the EPBC Act. 3.6 Assessment of the IBA proposal through

  • The Persistence of Common Wombats in Road Impacted Environments
    The persistence of common wombats in road impacted environments Erin Roger PhD thesis School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences University of New South Wales August 2009 “We treat the attrition of [wildlife] lives on the road like the attrition of lives in war: horrifying, unavoidable, justified.” Barry Lopez, Apologia PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Roger First name: Erin Other name/s: Katherine Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: School of Biological Earth & Environmental Faculty: Science Sciences Title: The persistence of common wombats in road impacted environments Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) There is growing global concern over the influence of road development on the conservation of biodiversity and on the functioning of ecosystems. Published reviews in the field of road ecology have identified that most research has examined the effects of roads linearly and have advocated for research at landscape scales. Among the many effects roads have, one of the most significant is the loss of animal life resulting from collisions with vehicles. Despite this, little is known of what toll this has on animal populations and how these impacts vary with scale. This stems from the perception that impacts are localised and that animals killed are typically considered common, and therefore not of great conservation concern. This thesis challenges this notion by showing that the impacts of fatalities can affect populations at landscape extents and that commonness is not a barrier to localised extinction risk. To achieve this I focus on the common wombat; an example of a common species for which road impacts have never been previously examined.
