In doing so, it 1891 square kilometres and is located provides a series of population forecasts based approximately 123 kilometres southeast of Perth on current fertility, mortality and migration and 92 kilometres east of Mandurah. trends. These forecasts are divided into five 'bands' - bands A and B contain lower forecasts, band C is the median forecast and bands D and E represent the higher forecasts. The population forecasts for the Shire of Boddington, to the year 2026, range from 3140 to 4150. With regard to the Shire of Boddington's 2016 population, this represents an additional 1296 to 2306 residents. The band C (median) population forecast (which this strategy is based on) is for 3660 residents – achieving this population will require average annual growth of about 7 per cent (from a 2016 baseline), which is significantly higher than the forecast annual growth rate of 2.45 per cent from 2011 to 2026 (band C) for Perth and Peel. In addition to population forecasts, Western Australia Tomorrow contains household size forecasts. These indicate that household sizes in the Shire of Boddington are likely to decrease - slightly - from approximately 2.51 to 2.61 people Figure 1: The Shire of Boddington per dwelling, to approximately 2.43 to 2.5 people per dwelling in 2026.

    SUBCHAPTER 10C - INLAND FISHING REGULATIONS SECTION .0100 - JURISDICTION OF AGENCIES: CLASSIFICATION OF WATERS 15A NCAC 10C .0101 SCOPE AND PURPOSE The following rules pertain to the classification of the waters of North Carolina as coastal fishing waters, inland fishing waters and joint fishing waters. These rules are adopted jointly by the Marine Fisheries Commission and the Wildlife Resources Commission. In addition to the classification of the waters of the state these joint rules set forth guidelines to determine which fishing activities in joint waters are regulated by the Marine Fisheries Commission and which are regulated by the Wildlife Resources Commission. Finally, the joint rules set forth special fishing regulations applicable in joint waters that can be enforced by officers of the division of marine fisheries and the Wildlife Resources Commission. These regulations do not affect the jurisdiction of the Marine Fisheries Commission and the Wildlife Resources Commission in any matters other than those specifically set out.

  • Boddington District Water Management Strategy

    Boddington District Water Management Strategy

    Boddington District Water Management Strategy May 2019 Prepared by Edge Planning & Property for the Shire of Boddington edgeplannning.com.au Boddington District Water Management Strategy Executive Summary The Boddington District Water Management Strategy (DWMS) has been prepared to support the review of the Shire of Boddington Local Planning Strategy (LPS) and the preparation of the Shire of Boddington Local Planning Scheme No. 3 (LPS3). The DWMS seeks to guide land use and development and to conserve and manage water resources in and around the Boddington townsite. In particular, this is the area outlined in Figure 1 which is to be called the ‘Development Footprint’ (Strategy area). The DWMS also aims to provide guidance for developers (also includes proponents), residents, other stakeholders and the local government. The DWMS has been developed to: outline that the Development Footprint is capable of supporting a change of land use as envisaged by the LPS; provide a broad framework to manage stormwater to support future development which adopts best management practices; minimise risks associated with flooding, nutrient export and pollution; promote development that minimises water use, supports water that is fit-for purpose and promotes re-use; protect key infrastructure, such as the waste water treatment plant (WWTP), from inappropriate development; and support the role and initiatives by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) and Water Corporation, along with the local government, the community and other stakeholders in sustainably using water. The DWMS assists to outline that proposed land use change within the Development Footprint is able to achieve appropriate water management outcomes.
  • History in Forest Names

    History in Forest Names

    Proceedings 6th National Conference of the Australian Forest History Society Inc, Michael Calver et al. (eds) © 2005 Millpress, Rotterdam, ISBN 90 5966 026 9 History in forest names J.B. Sclater Retired forest toponymist Unreviewed contribution Keywords: forest nomenclature, forest blocks ABSTRACT: With the passage of the Forests act in 1918, management of Western Australia’s hardwood forests was to be based on a series of Working Circles. The basic or ‘minor’ Working Circle covered an area thought to be sufficient for a small sawmill in perpetuity under sustained yield principles. Later amalgamations of these areas created ‘major’ Working Circles with specific Working Plans, and the ‘minor’ working circles became known as Forest Blocks. Blocks were named to differentiate them from the numbered State Forests. Researching the names has provided considerable historical data on the Forests Department, the sawmilling industry and the South West. Over 500 block names have been tabulated and their his- tory recorded. Their origins range from convict to Prime Minister, from exploration to exploitation, to honouring life and remembering death. Changes to Acts and relevant Departmental philosophy have put at risk the continued use of forest blocks and even the names themselves. Some examples of block names and their supporting histo- ries are given in this paper. 1 INTRODUCTION In Western Australia, State forests dedicated under the Forests Act of 1918 were identified by number. They varied considerably in size, from a few tens of hectares up to many thousands. Lane- Poole, who had drafted the Act and became the first Conservator under it, did not see a State forest as a basic management unit.

    Restricted Bridges All Terrain Special Purpose Vehicles Purpose The table in this document provide details of all the Restricted Bridges for specific All Terrain Special Purpose Vehicles. The Restricted Bridges with “No” marked against them are not approved for use by the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to which the relevant SPV permit applies. These bridges are in addition to any bridge restriction specified in the SPV permit. Do not drive your SPV over any Restricted Bridge listed in this document. Do not drive your SPV over any Restricted Bridge listed in your permit. The Restricted Bridges list is subject to amendments as bridges are re-assessed, which includes bridges being added as a restricted bridge, as well as bridges removed from the Restricted Bridge list. Operators and drivers are responsible for ensuring that they check the current listing of Restricted Bridges, available on the Main Roads website at www.mainroads.wa.gov.au/UsingRoads/HeavyVehicles/Permits prior to operating the vehicle on the public road network. If amendments are made to the Restricted Bridges list, they will be made on the first working Monday of the month and will be published on the Main Roads website at this time. How to use this publication 1. Structures (Bridges) Location Map Books are available on the Main Roads website. Operators/drivers need to look at the relevant map and establish if there are any bridges along the intended route, and take note of the bridge numbers. 2. Check the list of Restricted Bridges in this document to ensure that none of the bridge numbers on the intended route are marked “No” for the relevant SPV.

These issues are becoming critical in relations between states and Australia's foreign environmental policy is coming under increasing pressure. The demands on Australia's skills to deal with environmental issues affecting its interests is much greater than in the past.
