  • Submission on the Environmental Impact of Badgerys Creek Airport
    Submission on the environmental impact of Badgerys Creek airport. Dr Anthony Green, Visiting Principal Research Fellow, Microsimulation Risk Group, University of Wollongong 17/12/15 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Federal and New South Wales State Government have released a preliminary Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the operation of a new double runway class 1 airport by 2060. This follows a report in 2012 on the joint Study on Aviation Capacity in the Sydney Region and publication of preliminary plans for the new airport operation in 2014 together with the preliminary EIS for the proposed Airport. This reports concentrates on the decision that an airport is actually needed within the Sydney Basin and the risks associated with siting this airport at Badgerys Creek which have not been adequately assessed within those documents. The forecasts on aircraft flights were based on unrestrained projections. There is no interaction considered with other systems that would limit these forecasts. As a result all passenger numbers, aircraft movements and employment figures are over stated. Furthermore the loss to the economy from not building Badgerys Creek airport are not as great as stated and the cost benefit in building the airport is questionable. The unreliability of forecasts is demonstrated in the forecast for 2014 from 2010 which is 10% higher than the number of aircraft movements that actually occurred in 2014. KSA already has an additional 10% capacity compared to the forecasts. The document also demonstrates that there was no cost benefit comparison with alternative forms of transport or with integrated transport systems. Since 42% of aircraft movements in 2014, were to Brisbane, Canberra, Coolangatta or Melbourne a cost benefit comparison of benefits and risks should have been undertaken involving integrated transport.

  • MANLY FERRIES BALGOWLAH, BARRENJOEY and BARAGOOLA
    MANLY FERRIES BALGOWLAH, BARRENJOEY and BARAGOOLA Tony Prescott and Ross Willson This article originally appeared in The Log, vol. 12, no. 3 New Series (25 August 1979), pp. 78-85 It has been edited for digital publication on 27 December 2007. © The authors 2007. Drawings © Peter Nicolson 1970. Baragoola in the 1980s, in her final years as a government-operated ferry. (Tony Prescott) INTRODUCTION The popular image of the Manly ferry during the present century has very much evolved around the "class" (to use a naval term loosely) of six very similar double-ended screw steamers built for the Port Jackson Co-operative Steamship Co. Ltd. and the Port Jackson and Manly Steamship Co. Ltd. between 1905 and 1922. These six steamers were to be eclipsed in size, speed, accommodation and glamour by the Scottish-built Dee Why and Curl Curl of 1928 (The Log, May 1977) and South Steyne of 1938 (The Log, August 1983, November 1983). However, the smaller boats were to prove more economically practical in the long-term and two of them, both to be described in this article, are still in service while the Scottish boats have been withdrawn. Up to the early years of this century, the Port Jackson company operated a fleet consisting almost entirely of paddle steamers. The reason for the relatively late transition to screw propulsion lay in the necessity of using double-ended ships due to the configuration of Sydney Harbour with its many coves and the difficulties of turning in the Circular Quay terminus. Smaller double-ended ferries had been found to operate quite successfully with screw propulsion, but the Manly service had speed and heavy weather requirements which necessitated fine bows on the ships.

  • Nsn Summer | 2007 North Sydney Given Sound Bill of Health
    northsydneynews |nsn summer | 2007 North Sydney given sound bill of health North Sydney Council has been given a sound sustainability rating by asset management consultants Jeff Roorda & Associates. Mr Roorda told Council that its sustainability ratio of .7 was the highest of any council the company had assessed to date. The company was commissioned by council to assess the sustainability of North Sydney’s infrastructure and develop an asset management plan. The ratio assigned to assets was a measure of the average amount council spends on assets divided by the amount that should be spent for optimal maintenance. As well as giving us an overall rating, the plan rates individual asset categories. Regional roads (ratio of 1.28), footpaths (1.09), bus shelters (.85) street signs (.81) and local roads (.79) have acceptable ratings, while seawalls (.65) and drainage (.62) have been identified as priorities and have received additional funding from this year’s infrastructure levy funds (see page 11). Council’s overall financial position was also assessed as sound by Auditors Spencer Steer and Associates. The operating result for the year was a surplus of $7.138 million. General Manager Penny Holloway said she was pleased but not surprised by the good bill of health. “North Sydney is debt free, we operate on a small surplus each year and have $48 million invested. This achievement is particularly impressive when you consider that North Sydney continues to have the lowest average rates in Sydney and a high level of customer satisfaction with our services.” Other key financial results for the 2006/2007 financial year included: • a total amount of $3.194 million worth of unrestricted cash and investments, which is available for day-to-day operations • developer contributions increased substantially compared to the previous financial year • user charges and fees, as well as investment interest, provided additional revenue.
