Edition number of Signed by Richard Bennett Date RICHARD BENNETT OAM 1 PROLOGUE People often tell me how lucky I am to have made a living doing something I love so much. I agree with them. I do love my work. But neither my profession, nor my career, has anything to do with luck. My life, and my mindset, changed forever the day, as a boy, I was taken out to Hartz Mountain. From the summit, I saw a magical landscape that most Tasmanians didn’t know existed. For me, that moment started an obsession with wild places, and a desire to capture the drama they evoke on film. To the west, the magnificent jagged silhouette of Federation Peak dominated the skyline, and to the south, Precipitous Bluff rose sheer for 4000 feet out of the valley. Beyond that lay the south-west coast. I started bushwalking regularly after that, and bought my first camera. In 1965, I attended mountaineering school at Mount Cook on the Tasman Glacier, and in 1969, I was selected to travel to Peru as a member of Australia’s first Andean Expedition. The hardships and successes of the Andean Expedition taught me that I could achieve anything that I wanted.

    Impact of sea level rise on coastal natural values in Tasmania JUNE 2016 Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment Acknowledgements Thanks to the support we received in particular from Clarissa Murphy who gave six months as a volunteer in the first phase of the sea level rise risk assessment work. We also had considerable technical input from a range of people on various aspects of the work, including Hans and Annie Wapstra, Richard Schahinger, Tim Rudman, John Church, and Anni McCuaig. We acknowledge the hard work over a number of years from the Sea Level Rise Impacts Working Group: Oberon Carter, Louise Gilfedder, Felicity Faulkner, Lynne Sparrow (DPIPWE), Eric Woehler (BirdLife Tasmania) and Chris Sharples (University of Tasmania). This report was compiled by Oberon Carter, Felicity Faulkner, Louise Gilfedder and Peter Voller from the Natural Values Conservation Branch.

    Submission #2045 - Marine Finfish Aquaculture Development in Storm Bay (Tasmania) - West of Wedge Island Title of Proposal - Marine Finfish Aquaculture Development in Storm Bay (Tasmania) - West of Wedge Island Section 1 - Summary of your proposed action Provide a summary of your proposed action, including any consultations undertaken. 1.1 Project Industry Type Aquaculture 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities. The proposed action is to farm Atlantic Salmon at a new farming zone in Storm Bay, Tasmania. This zone represents an offshore extension to Tassal's existing marine farming leases (MF 190, MF 193, MF 194 and MF 055) within the Tasman Peninsula and Norfolk Bay Marine Farming Development Plan areas. The proposed new farming zone would be approximately 863 Ha containing four leases of approximately 90 Ha each. Within each 90 Ha lease, surface located marine farming equipment will be up to 45 Ha. Any equipment outside this 45 Ha would be at least 5 metres below the surface at the lease boundary. These dimensions will allow for the establishment of a grid mooring system with the capacity to house 16 pen bays on each of the four leases (a total of 64 pen bays). The proposed action in Storm Bay requires the construction and placement of new marine farming infrastructure in waters to the west of Wedge Island. This infrastructure would include: • Mooring and grid system – comprising of 1 x 16 pen bay mooring grid (within each of four proposed leases). Independent mooring configuration will be used to secure feed barges.

  • Overview of Tasmania's Offshore Islands and Their Role in Nature
    Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania, Volume 154, 2020 83 OVERVIEW OF TASMANIA’S OFFSHORE ISLANDS AND THEIR ROLE IN NATURE CONSERVATION by Sally L. Bryant and Stephen Harris (with one text-figure, two tables, eight plates and two appendices) Bryant, S.L. & Harris, S. 2020 (9:xii): Overview of Tasmania’s offshore islands and their role in nature conservation.Papers and Proceedings of the Royal Society of Tasmania 154: 83–106. https://doi.org/10.26749/rstpp.154.83 ISSN: 0080–4703. Tasmanian Land Conservancy, PO Box 2112, Lower Sandy Bay, Tasmania 7005, Australia (SLB*); Department of Archaeology and Natural History, College of Asia and the Pacific, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 2601 (SH). *Author for correspondence: Email: [email protected] Since the 1970s, knowledge of Tasmania’s offshore islands has expanded greatly due to an increase in systematic and regional surveys, the continuation of several long-term monitoring programs and the improved delivery of pest management and translocation programs. However, many islands remain data-poor especially for invertebrate fauna, and non-vascular flora, and information sources are dispersed across numerous platforms. While more than 90% of Tasmania’s offshore islands are statutory reserves, many are impacted by a range of disturbances, particularly invasive species with no decision-making framework in place to prioritise their management. This paper synthesises the significant contribution offshore islands make to Tasmania’s land-based natural assets and identifies gaps and deficiencies hampering their protection. A continuing focus on detailed gap-filling surveys aided by partnership restoration programs and collaborative national forums must be strengthened if we are to capitalise on the conservation benefits islands provide in the face of rapidly changing environmental conditions and pressure for future use.

  • ENACT – Submission to Legislative Council Inquiry Into Built Heritage Tourism in Tasmania – February 2015
    ENACT – submission to Legislative Council Inquiry into Built Heritage Tourism in Tasmania – February 2015 To the Committee Secretary: The following submission is respectfully put forward for consideration by the sub–committee. Addressing the terms of reference of your enquiry: Our built heritage in Tasmania is representative of the diverse nature of our growth from early settler days to some of the iconic buildings of today. Nowhere else in Australia is this diversity so abundant and compacted into such a small geographical area with matching natural beauty. It is unique to Tasmania and we are squandering much of that heritage and the opportunity that goes with it. This seems to be, in part, due the inability for all stakeholders to talk to each other and work together for the common good and realistic outcomes. Your reference points – government, tourism organisations, heritage organisations, other controlling bodies (eg – PWS) each do their own bits of research and work and prepare extensive reports that are printed, read, possibly mentioned in the media and are promptly filed for some future reference. Unless someone in an influential position picks up an idea or project, little happens. Then there are anti-everything groups and NIMBYs that seem to be able to stop any idea, good or bad, in its tracks. No one body seems to be responsible for collating the various reports and agreements (and disagreements) that occur over time. Such a body could facilitate the prioritisation of those projects have support from multiple agencies and stakeholders and bring those parties together to make them happen. A case in point is our own town of Eaglehawk Neck.
