    P.O. Box 5026 Old Toongabbie NSW 2146 [email protected] 12 August 2014 Committee Secretary Senate Standing Committees on Environment and Communications, PO Box 6100, Parliament House, Canberra ACT 2600 [email protected] Submission: INQUIRY INTO ENVIRONMENTAL BIOSECURITY Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to the Environmental Biosecurity Inquiry. Introduction Australian Plants Society – New South Wales Ltd has fostered and promoted the appreciation, study and participation in growing and propagating Australian native plants since 1958. There are over 1640 members as well as 800 subscribers, 41 of whom are overseas institutions of learning. Environmental biosecurity has not received the attention enjoyed by agriculture biosecurity, yet the cost of dealing with weeds and other environmental pests becomes higher the longer they are allowed to spread, until they can no longer be eradicated. Environmental pests negatively affect our unique flora and fauna, environmental amenity and integrity, and recreation and tourism. The comprehensive report in 2007 titled ‘The Australian Weeds Strategy – A national strategy for weed management in Australia’, produced by the Australian Weeds Committee for The Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council, is an excellent report, and we strongly endorse the 3 goals set out in the report, as follows: Goal 1- Prevent new weed problems Goal 2 - Reduce the impact of existing priority weed problems Goal 3 - Enhance Australia’s capacity and commitment to solve weed problems 1 The Australian Weeds Strategy makes the following point: “Weeds are among the most significant and costly environmental threats in Australia. Of the 2700 species of introduced plants now established [in 2007], 429 have been declared noxious or are under some form of legislative control in Australia.

  • Living in Australia
    Unit 2 Place and liveability Living in Australia Both Indigenous Australians and early European settlers to Australia made decisions about where to live based on the availability of resources they needed to survive – things like water, food and shelter. The factors that influence where people live today are more varied. As well as needing access to food, water and shelter, people also choose where to live based on things like access to services (such as hospitals and schools), environmental quality (such as access to clean air and parklands) and safety. Connections to family, friends and places also influence where we live. Where we choose to live can also change over time due to a range of factors, such as work and property prices. In retirement, many people opt for a sea change or tree change to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle. chapter Source 1 An oblique aerial photograph of the Melbourne showing the suburb of St Kilda in the foreground4 4A 4B DRAFT Where do Australians live and How do people connect why? to places? 1 What features shown in Source 1 tell you that many 1 What common interests or hobbies might people people live in the suburb of St Kilda? who live in St Kilda share? 2 Why do you think people choose to live in 2 How might the lifesavers at St Kilda Beach be St Kilda? considered a community of their own? 112 oxford big ideas humanities 7 victorian curriculum chapter 4 living in australia 113 4A Where do Australians live and why?

The site produced the first recognised examples of locally manufactured earthenware. The historical and archaeological evidence for pottery manufacture in New South Wales between 1790 and 1830 is contained in an appendix.
