DELEGATIONS / PRESENTATIONS & REGIONAL SIGNPOSTING ISSUES 1.1 Cabonne signage issues Glenn raised the following tourist signage matters: i Animals on Bikes sculpture trail Background This community project has seen the installation of over 110 “Animals on Bikes” sculptures on farmland adjacent to a road between Dubbo and Molong. The sculpture trail, which is shared by Final 4 February 2013 1 of 16 TASAC Minutes 16 January 2013 the local government areas of Dubbo and Cabonne, extends over some 120 km and passes through the towns on of Yeoval and Cumnock. Access to the trail is off the Newell Highway in the north and off the Mitchell Highway in the south. The road from Dubbo to Yeoval is a local road known as Obley Road and from Yeoval to Molong it is a regional road known as Banjo Patterson Way. The first group of about 40 sculptures was installed in 2009 and another 70 or so sculptures were added in 2011. The initial motivation for the project was to create a visual fantasy for children. Other objectives are to foster creative pursuits in the district and encourage visitation to Yeoval and Cumnock. The project and the potential to install tourist signposting at the start and end of the trail were the subject of a presentation to TASAC in January 2010. TASAC responded that prerequisites for tourist signposting would include establishing that motorists could safely stop at each sculpture; written support from both councils; and that appropriate interpretive information was available along the trail. In May 2012 Christine Weston, Animals on Bikes Organiser, contacted RMS Western Region regarding tourist signposting and subsequently spoke to Maria. The inquiry was discussed at the June 2012 TASAC meeting where the road safety issues were again discussed and a copy of the meeting minutes was sent to Ms Weston. Discussion Tony Hendry described the road as very narrow and winding. There are no opportunities for motorists to safely stop along the road apart from in residents’ driveways, which is undesirable and potentially hazardous. The sculptures are all set back from the road and some are quite distant from it. The view of some sculptures is blocked by trees and some are obscured by long grass. In combination these factors present a distraction to motorists. The speed limit along most of the route is 100 kph and it is used by large trucks. Signposting the route as a major tourist attraction would further increase the volume of traffic on the road and would also encourage more people to attempt to stop to view the sculptures. The consequent safety risks are considerable and would be unacceptable. The safety risks could not be overcome without incurring major costs, such as those associated with road widening and / or establishing off-road viewing areas at several appropriate locations along the route. Glenn indicated that Cabonne Council accepts that installing tourist signs for the trail would increase its risk and similar comments were made to Maria by David Newberry of Dubbo Council in June 2012. David, Marty and Kyle inspected the sculpture trail between Molong and Cumnock the day prior to the meeting and also discussed the project with staff at the Orange Visitor Information Centre (VIC). David made the following observations: The inspection confirms Tony’s comments about the narrowness and winding nature of the road and the lack of locations along it to safely stop to view the sculptures. David spoke to motorists who had stopped at the side of the road near Cumnock to take photos of one of the sculptures. The motorists commented that while travelling at relatively slow speeds to view the sculptures they experienced some anxious moments because some vehicles attempted to overtake them when it was not safe to do so. A staff member at the VIC was of the view that that the trail is more popular with “grey nomad” tourists than with families. The following points were also noted: Final 4 February 2013 2 of 16 TASAC Minutes 16 January 2013 a) If the start and end of the trail received tourist signposting, “Welcome” signs would be installed at each end. The signs would also direct visitors to a nearby information bay where they could park safely, alight from their vehicle and view details about the trail on information panels. As a minimum, the panels would include a map of the trail, information about the number and location of sculptures, history of the project and locations where more information about the project could be obtained. The applicants for tourist signposting would need to meet the costs of the “Welcome” signs as well as the costs associated with establishing off-road information bays at appropriate locations near each end. b) RMS has plans to improve white on green directional signage for Banjo Patterson Way from the Mitchell Highway in the next few months and this will assist visitors to access the sculpture trail. c) The proponents could consider relocating some existing sculptures and / or commissioning new ones to be installed at key locations (such as at off-road locations associated with VICs) where visitors could view them safely. d) While traffic along the road has increased since the trail was established it is not clear whether visitation to Cumnock and Yeoval has also increased. e) Lucy commented that there are other more appropriate ways to promote the project such as through digital media including the preparation of a downloadable application or “app” that visitors could access on mobile phones or other portable digital devices to learn about the trail and its features. Decision: The safety concerns noted above render the Animals on Bikes sculpture trail unsuitable for tourist signposting. Action: Glenn and Lucy and a representative of Dubbo Council are to get in touch with the project’s proponents to explore mechanisms to promote “Animals on Bikes” other than via tourist signposting. ii Escort Rock Historic Site, Eugowra At its previous meeting TASAC found Cabonne Council’s application for tourist signposting of Escort Rock to be potentially eligible in the Historic Properties and Sites category, subject to the resolution of a number of issues. Escort Rock, which is on private land, is the site of an historic gold robbery. The application sought signposting for an interpretive site within an off-road rest area on publically accessible land about 200 m from Escort Rock itself. The following updates on the outstanding issues were discussed: a) The publication of appropriate promotional material: Glenn confirmed that a promotional brochure was being developed because existing promotional material is out of date. David commented that while the promotional material need not be elaborate and could be in downloadable and / or hard copy form, it was preferable that it was a stand-alone document, rather than including a section on Escort Rock in an omnibus publication. Tony Hendry added that it would be important for the promotional material to clearly indicate whether visitors are welcome to enter the adjacent property to access Escort Rock itself - see c) below for more details. b) Appropriate name for signposting purposes: It was agreed that the appropriate name for signposting purposes would be Escort Rock Historic Site. Final 4 February 2013 3 of 16 TASAC Minutes 16 January 2013 c) Preparation of a site inspection report: David inspected the site the day prior to the meeting and made the following observations: The interpretive material within the rest area is engaging and well presented. Better delineation of Escort Rock is needed so that visitors to the rest area can more easily identify it from that location. A fence with an unlocked gate separates the publically accessible land from Escort Rock on the adjacent private property, which is a working farm. A sign at the gate states “Private Property” so it is not clear whether visitors are welcome to enter the property to access Escort Rock and view it more closely. This confusion is exacerbated by the presence of some additional small interpretive signs at the rock itself, which are understood to have been installed by the landowner. The rest area is somewhat run down and its presentation requires improvement, e.g. some existing benches are in poor condition and a relatively new sign giving the site’s name (“Escort Rock Historic Site”) has been attached over an old and faded sign. Unfortunately the new sign is smaller than the old one so parts of the original faded sign are still visible. Glenn responded that the owner of the adjacent farm does not wish to prevent visitors from accessing his land as he recognises the historic significance of Escort Rock.

  • Eugowra Nature Reserve 1
    Statement of Management Intent Eugowra Nature Reserve 1. Introduction This statement outlines the main values, issues, management directions and priorities of the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) for managing Eugowra Nature Reserve. This statement, together with relevant NPWS policies, will guide the management of the reserve until a plan of management has been prepared in accordance with the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 (NPW Act). The NPWS Managing Parks Prior to Plan of Management Policy states that parks and reserves without a plan of management are to be managed in a manner consistent with the intent of the NPW Act and the ‘precautionary principle’ (see Principle 15). 2. Management principles Nature reserves are reserved under the NPW Act to protect and conserve areas containing outstanding, unique or representative ecosystems, species, communities or natural phenomena. Under the NPW Act (section 30J), nature reserves are managed to: • conserve biodiversity, maintain ecosystem functions, and protect geological and geomorphological features and natural phenomena • conserve places, objects, features and landscapes of cultural value • promote public appreciation, enjoyment and understanding of the reserve’s natural and cultural values • provide for appropriate research and monitoring. The primary purpose of nature reserves is to conserve nature. Nature reserves differ from national parks in that they do not have the provision of visitor use as a management purpose or principle. 3. Context Reservation details: Eugowra Nature Reserve was reserved on 8 September 1972. Size: 116 hectares. Eugowra Nature Reserve is located approximately five kilometres north-west of Eugowra town centre and 30 kilometres east of Forbes. It lies within the NSW South Western Slopes Bioregion.

  • Oberon – More Than You Imagine”
    OBERON COUNCIL Local Strategic Planning Statement 2038 (DRAFT) “Oberon – more than you imagine” Document Status Author Date Doc stage Rev No. 1 Oberon Council March 2020 Pre exhibition draft 2 Oberon Council May 2020 Exhibition draft Final i Mayor’s Foreword To develop a vision for land use for the next twenty years the Oberon Council Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) considers land use trends that are currently occurring in the Local Government Area (LGA) and anticipates others that may likely emerge. The continued importance of agriculture, forestry, lifestyle and tourism is acknowledged and planning actions are included in this document to ensure ongoing viability in these areas. However we must also be cognisant of the fact that the use of agricultural land is changing across the country. Council is looking at planning strategies to increase employment opportunities in both the manufacturing and farming sectors through value adding and new development. Currently Oberon is enjoying popularity as a lifestyle option with many new residents choosing to move here and embrace our lifestyle. The LSPS looks to expand upon this trend and analyse what will be required to further enhance the popularity of Oberon whilst minimising risks to new residents posed by bushfire, flooding and other natural disasters. “Oberon – more than you imagine” is the vision of Council community strategic plan with the mission being “A prosperous town, village and rural communities set amongst the rolling hills, rivers, forests, mountains and caves of the great divide. Breathe fresh air in a landscape of light, colour and seasonal beauty. Life as it should be.” Oberon Council is committed to this message and views land use planning as a means to protect our most important assets whilst at the same time providing lifestyle and employment opportunities which will enhance the vibrancy of our LGA into the future.

  • Heritage Listings for Ben Hall Sites
    10 October, 2010 HERITAGE LISTINGS FOR BEN HALL SITES Six sites linked to legendary 19th century bushranger, Ben Hall, have been given the State’s highest level of heritage protection. Minister for Planning, Tony Kelly, said the Ben Hall sites had been placed on the State Heritage Register and would be a boost to tourism in the Cabonne, Blayney, Goulburn Mulwaree, Upper Lachlan and Forbes shires. “Ben Hall is one of our best known bushrangers and part of folklore,” the Minister said. “The heritage sites, which are spread across the central west of the State, have been listed because of their historical significance in showing the impact of bushranging on colonial NSW.” They are: Escort Rock, Eugowra - a natural rock formation and old coach road was the site of the first crime Ben Hall can be linked to where a gold coach on its way from Forbes to Bathurst was robbed of 14,000 pounds worth of bank notes and gold; Cliefden homestead - a 1842 homestead near Carcoar raided for horses by hall. It had been fortified with thick walls and gun slots to see off attacks by bushrangers; Wandi, Narambulla Creek, near Marulan - a former Colonial Georgian coaching inn was successfully defended by a local magistrate attending a wedding in a shootout with Hall’s gang; Bushranger Hotel, on the Hume Highway near Goulburn - built in 1860, it has been in continuous use as a hotel since Hall and his gang held up a publican in the public bar on 26 January, 1865. It’s the only surviving hotel of five inns in the district; Ben Hall’s death site, Ben Halls Road, Forbes - a special stand of trees is associated with the Outlaws Act which allowed bushrangers to be shot rather, than arrested and sent to trial; and Ben Hall’s grave in Forbes cemetery - was originally only marked by a picket fence.
