Comprising of 13 individual projects and spanning more than 1,700km, Inland Rail is the largest freight rail infrastructure project in Australia and one of the most significant infrastructure projects in the world.

  • 'Soils' and 'Vegetation'?
    Is there a close association between ‘soils’ and ‘vegetation’? A case study from central western New South Wales M.O. Rankin1, 3, W.S Semple2, B.W. Murphy1 and T.B. Koen1 1 Department of Natural Resources, PO Box 445, Cowra, NSW 2794, AUSTRALIA 2 Department of Natural Resources, PO Box 53, Orange, NSW 2800, AUSTRALIA 3 Corresponding author, email: [email protected] Abstract: The assumption that ‘soils’ and ‘vegetation’ are closely associated was tested by describing soils and vegetation along a Travelling Stock Reserve west of Grenfell, New South Wales (lat 33° 55’S, long 147° 45’E). The transect was selected on the basis of (a) minimising the effects of non-soil factors (human interference, climate and relief) on vegetation and (b) the presence of various soil and vegetation types as indicated by previous mapping. ‘Soils’ were considered at three levels: soil landscapes (a broad mapping unit widely used in central western NSW), soil types (according to a range of classifications) and soil properties (depth, pH, etc.). ‘Vegetation’ was considered in three ways: vegetation type (in various classifications), density/floristic indices (density of woody species, abundance of native species, etc.) and presence/absence of individual species. Sites along the transect were grouped according to soil landscapes or soil types and compared to vegetation types or indices recorded at the sites. Various measures indicated low associations between vegetation types and soil landscapes or soil types. Except for infrequent occurrences of a soil type or landscape, any one soil type or landscape was commonly associated with a number of vegetation types and any one vegetation type was associated with a number of soil landscapes or soil types.

  • Customer Service Advice from Telstra
    Customer Service Advice from Telstra Delay due to severe weather in the North East and parts of the Northern Country and North Central Districts of Victoria and parts of the South West Slopes and Riverina Districts of New South Wales. The North East and parts of the Northern Country and North Central Districts of Victoria and parts of the South West Slopes and Riverina Districts of New South Wales were impacted by severe weather on or about Wednesday 29 April 2020 through to Friday 1 May 2020. This event resulted in extensive damage to Telstra’s telecommunications network. An interruption to Telstra’s normal operations has occurred leading to delays in installation and repair activities. As many as 700 Telstra services encompassed in this exemption are in the area bounded by and including, but not limited to, the area starting at Pilot Wilderness, heading southwest crossing the NSW/VIC border to Cobungra, then Cobbannah, and northwest to Licola and southwest to Aberfeldy. At Aberfeldy the area heads west to Healesville, northwest past Baynton East, Drummartin to Gunbower to the VIC/NSW border and turns northeast to Tantonan, east to Bullatale, then northeast to Urana. From Urana, the area turns southeast to Bidgeemia, northeast to Barmedman, east past Bribbaree to Reids Flat, southwest to Burrinjuck, south to Yarrangobilly, then south back to Pilot Wilderness. All suburbs and towns serviced by Telstra within these boundaries are encompassed in this exemption. How will this affect you? Unfortunately your service may be affected and we may take longer than normal to fix telephone services or complete connections.

Weddin Shire Council has seen significant change over the last four years since it developed its first Community Strategic Plan (2013-2023), Delivery Plan and Operational Plan. This Plan reflects these changes. The new Plan is a requirement of the NSW Government and assists the community in better understanding where we are and how we can get to a sustainable future that best meets the whole of community needs. The Weddin Community values its independence and sense of place. Since 2012, the community has continued to express a strong commitment to remaining as an independent Council and improving community amenities so that skills and resources can continue to be attracted to Weddin. In doing so, Weddin embraces the opportunity to work with neighbouring and regional councils and a broad range of government bodies so services can be more efficiently and effectively delivered through a broadly collaborative and inclusive plan.
