Ecological Studies on Illawarha Lake
ECOLOGICAL STUDIES ON ILLAWARHA LAKE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO Zostera capricorni Ascherson. By Malcolm McD. Harris, B.A. ( Univ. of New England, Armidale ) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science of the University of New South Wales. School of Botany, University of New South Wales. January, 1977 UNIVERSITY OF N.S.W. 19851 16 SEP. 77 LIBRARY THIS IS TO CERTIFY that the work described in this thesis has not been submitted for a higher degree at any other university or institution. (iii) SUMMARY This thesis describes aspects of the ecology of Illawarra Lake, with special reference to the biology of the seagrass, Zostera capricomi Aschers. Observations were made from the air, from power boats, by wading and by SCUBA diving, over the period 1972 - 1976. Use has also been made of aerial photographs. The environmental factors studied include both sediment characteristics and water quality. Correlation coefficients have been calculated and used in the assessment of the functional relationships between the parameters examined. Reference has been made to corroborative evidence from a number of sources. The relationship between the distribution and biomass of the benthic flora of Illawarra Lake, and the selected environmental parameters, is examined. Seven other coastal saline lagoons were observed so that observations made and the conclusions drawn for Illawarra Lake, could be seen in the wider context. Long term observations and analyses have been made of the morphology, growth and flowering cycles of Z. capricomi. Evidence is presented showing some diagnostic features,used in published accounts to distinguish between Z. -
Statistical Methods for Biosecurity Monitoring and Surveillance Author(S) / Address (Es) David Fox, University of Melbourne
Report Cover Page ACERA Project 0605 Title Statistical Methods for Biosecurity Monitoring and Surveillance Author(s) / Address (es) David Fox, University of Melbourne Material Type and Status (Internal draft, Final Technical or Project report, Manuscript, Manual, Software) Final Report Summary This report investigates the applicability of traditional methods of analysing surveillance data to biosecurity risks, and explores some more recent innovations designed to detect subtle trends and anomalous behaviour in data over space and time. In particular, it examines control charting and syndromic surveillance methods, and explores how useful they are likely to be in dealing with typical biosecurity disease and pest surveillance. If focuses on disease detection, and methods for optimising surveillance networks and robust methods for minimising levels of inspection. This work provides a proof of concept of these approaches. The case studies, while based on real contexts, are intended only to be illustrative. If the tools are considered to be potentially useful, the next stage would involve development of specific applications to trial their utility.

Port Kembla Gas Terminal Historic Heritage Assessment
Appendix J Historic heritage Australian Industrial Energy Port Kembla Gas Terminal Historic Heritage Assessment November 2018 Executive summary Australian Industrial Energy (AIE) have commissioned GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) to undertake a Historical Heritage Assessment (HHA) for the proposed Port Kembla Gas Terminal (the project) in Port Kembla, New South Wales (NSW). The project involves the development of a liquified natural gas (LNG) import terminal including a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) moored at Berth 101 in the Inner Harbour, visiting LNG carriers, wharf offloading facilities and the installation of new pipeline to connect to the existing gas transmission network. The project has been declared Critical State Significant Infrastructure and must be assessed in accordance with Section 5.13 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979 (EP&A Act) and Schedule 5 of the State Environmental Planning Policy (SEPP) (State and Regional Development) 2011. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required to support the application for approval by the NSW Minister for Planning. This HHA has been prepared in accordance with the Secretary’s environmental assessment requirements (SEARs) and provides information and advice on historical heritage considerations for the proposed works. The study area has been heavily modified with little to no potential for historical features and/or archaeological deposits to survive. Pockets of less disturbed land with potential for historical heritage features and archaeological deposits are located on Spring Hill to the east and west of Springhill Road. Industrial moveable heritage items are also on display in the study area as part of the Inside Industry Visitor Centre on Bluescope Steel land. -

Local Plumbing Regulators in NSW On-Site Plumbing and Drainage Compliance and Inspections
Local plumbing regulators in NSW On-site plumbing and drainage compliance and inspections This document outlines who performs the functions of the plumbing regulator in NSW. Under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2011 NSW Fair Trading is the plumbing regulator in New South Wales. The Plumbing Code of Australia is the technical standard for compliance throughout NSW. It is the responsibility of the plumbing regulator in each area to set requirements for inspections of on-site plumbing and drainage. Fair Trading’s area of operation includes all areas in which properties are provided with services (either drinking water, recycled water or a sewerage service) by Sydney Water Corporation or Hunter Water Corporation. This area of operation stretches from Gerringong in the south (the Illawarra), to Newcastle, Port Stephens and Dungog in the north (the Hunter), and west to Mount Victoria (Blue Mountains). The function of the plumbing regulator has been delegated by Fair Trading to local councils, county councils, or other qualified bodies. The delegation of the function has been accepted by local and county councils across NSW, with a small number of exceptions where the council declined the delegation. Below are two tables identifying the local authority for plumbing regulator functions, including conducting inspections, throughout NSW by local government area. Please Note: Onsite plumbing and drainage work does not include stormwater, fire suppression; work on network utility assets or roof plumbing. If you are a plumber or drainer in regional -
