Port Hedland AREA PLANNING STUDY Foreword Port Hedland is one of the Pilbara’s most historic and colourful towns. The townsite as we know it was established by European settlers in 1896 as a service centre for the pastoral, goldmining and pearling industries, although the area has been home to Aboriginal people for many thousands of years. In the 1960s Port Hedland experienced a major growth period, as a direct result of the emerging iron ore industry. -

Submission #1996 - Marble Bar Road (M030) Coongan Gorge Realignment Title of Proposal - Marble Bar Road (M030) Coongan Gorge Realignment Section 1 - Summary of your proposed action Provide a summary of your proposed action, including any consultations undertaken. 1.1 Project Industry Type Transport - Land 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities. Main Roads Western Australia (Main Roads) is proposing to upgrade a section of Marble Bar Road at Coongan Gorge from 318.4 to 323.5 Straight Line Kilometre (SLK). The purpose of the proposed works is to improve safety on this section of Marble Bar Road, connecting Port Hedland to Marble Bar. The proposed project works will include: - Realignment and reconstruction of approximately 5 km of Marble Bar Road between 318.4-323.5 SLK. Road formation width will vary significantly due to varying batter slope distances (at the narrowest road formation will be 10 metres (m) wide, and in isolated areas road formation will be up to 170 m wide) - Associated works including significant road batter construction, minor floodways, culverts and off road drainage - Development and use of a side track to divert traffic during stages of construction - Extraction of basecourse material from M030 material pit if excess cut material is not suitable for road base. M030 material pit is located on the Marble Bar road at 356 SLK, The Project is being referred to the Department of the Environment and Energy (DotEE) as it may result in the loss of known and potential habitat -

4.5.3 Woodie Woodie 4.5.3.1 Regional Hydrogeology the Woodie Woodie Mine Is Located in a Large Synclinal Basin Known Regionally As the Oakover Syncline
Spinifex Ridge Molybdenum Project – Public Environmental Review 4.5.3 Woodie Woodie 4.5.3.1 Regional Hydrogeology The Woodie Woodie mine is located in a large synclinal basin known regionally as the Oakover Syncline. The Oakover Syncline is a platform carbonate unit that disconformably overlies the Jeerinah Formation. The Oakover Syncline hosts the two major aquifer units namely the Pinjian Chert Breccia and the Upper Carawine Dolomite, forming a major regional scale aquifer. Regional groundwater flow in the Woodie Woodie area is thought to be from east to west across the site, away from the topographic high areas (normally coincident with outcropping Jeerinah Formation, locally referred to as the Gregory Ranges) towards the Oakover River (GRM, 2006). The river is considered to be the major natural discharge area within the region. The most common range of pre-mining groundwater levels is between 254 and 255 mAHD (as measured in Bells, Chris D and Big Mack pits). 4.5.3.2 Local Aquifer Characteristics The Pinjian Chert Breccia and the Upper Carawine Dolomite are the major aquifer units present in the vicinity of Woodie Woodie. Table 4-8 provides a summary of the reported hydraulic test results and derived aquifer parameters for the Woodie Woodie area. The data shows a highly transmissive aquifer, capable of delivering high bore yields. Pinjian Chert Breccia Aquifer The Pinjian Chert Breccia forms a major aquifer that is commonly confined by the Patterson Formation where it is present, but is otherwise unconfined. The transmissivity of the Pinjian Chert Breccia is estimated to range from 500 m²/day to 2500 m²/day (Mackie Martin PPK 1994, Golder Associates 2000 & 2003 and GRM 2004 & 2005). -
Highways Byways
Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties. -

The molecular data were used in combination with a detailed assessment of morphological variation and some data on call structure to complete a taxonomic revision of the species that occur in this region. Our work reveals the existence of not two but five species in the region. Uperoleia russelli is restricted to the Carnarvon and Gascoyne Regions south of the Pilbara.
