  • Developing an Onshore Wind Farm on Bute – an Experiential Perspective on Policy and Planning
    Developing an onshore wind farm on Bute – an experiential perspective on policy and planning Adrian Tear Department of Geography, Buckingham Building, University of Portsmouth, PO1 3HE Partner, Ascog Farm, Ascog, Isle of Bute, PA20 9LL Email: [email protected] Abstract The purchase of Ascog Farm on the Isle of Bute, Scotland in 2008 has plunged the author and his family into an otherwise unfamiliar world of conflict surrounding onshore renewable wind energy development. Ascog Farm has high average annual wind speeds and is proximal to exisng operaonal wind farms on the mainland in North Ayrshire. Following inial, and inexpensive, invesgaons of potenal conducted in 2009 a series of increasingly detailed, and expensive, feasibility studies have been commissioned culminang in the producon of an Environmental Statement to support a planning applicaon for three mid‐sized (50m to hub, 74m to p) community benefit wind turbines lodged with Argyll and Bute Council in October 2012. Over £120,000 has been spent researching and collang the planning applicaon, which has taken around two years to produce. A significant proporon of project funding has been provided by the Scosh Government’s Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) which aims to support the development of 500MW of community and locally‐owned renewable energy generang capacity by 2020. Despite this support reacon to the project from a small but vociferous group of acvists has been negave with a variety of print and online material suggesng wind turbines may harm wildlife, ruin views, discourage tourists or cause health complaints while doing lile to combat climate change.

  • Scènes De La Vie Australienne
    PAULMAISTRE SCENES DE LA VIE AUSTRALIENNE "De mineur a ministre" Translated and introduced by C. B. Thornton-Smith Introduction "De mineur a ministre" appeared in the latter half of 1896 as the fourth in a series of five short stories set in Australia which Paul Maistre published in the Madrid-based Nouvelle Revue Internationale between 1894 and 1897. The fact that he was a vice- consul of France in Melbourne during this time made it essential that he use a pen- name, with his choice of "Paul le Franc" being particularly apt given his frank comments on the delusions and vagaries of the Anglo-Saxons, including according to him the Scots, against whom he seems to have had a particular animus. All five stories are written from a clearly French perspective, with some of them having a "beau role" for a French character. In this one, reacting to the assumed racial and moral superiority of Anglo-Saxons, he offers caustic comments on such matters as Sabbatarianism, temperance movements, long-winded and empty oratory, lack of commercial morality and obsession with symbols of status. As a consular official doing his best to assist French commercial interests in Victoria, he was particularly exercised by that colony's protectionist policies which artificially inflated the cost of French imports. Just over a century later, the climax of his story has considerable topicality given that, while not quite illustrating the "Plus ca change ..." principle, the excesses of "high-fliers" and financial crash of the 1980s have remarkable similarities in almost everything but scale to those of the 1890s, which brought about the demise of "Marvellous Melbourne".

    ASCOG HOUSE AND MEIKLE ASCOG, ISLE OF BUTE, ARGYLL AND BUTE The history of the Ascog demesne goes back further than either of the two houses on it. In 1312 Robert the Bruce is said to have given Ascog to the Bute family of Glass. In 1594, the estate, including a mill, Loch Ascog and Nether and Over Ascog, was bought by John Stewart of Kilchattan, a distant kinsman of the Stewarts of Bute who became Earls and later Marquesses of Bute. Ascog House - John Stewart may have built the first house at Ascog, replacing an older tower. Despite the date of 1678 above one of the dormer windows, the original Ascog House was built earlier than that. With its stair tower and cap-house, it is of a type commonly built around 1600. In addition, in the wall of the present kitchen is part of a grand chimneypiece. This belonged to a great hall whose floor and ceiling were both at a higher level than today. In 1673 John Stewart of Ascog, grandson of the first John Stewart, married Margaret Cunningharn and it is their initials that are engraved on the house. They must have carried out a major reconstruction, lowering the floors to create two main storeys, and adding the dormer windows. John Stewart was rich enough to lend the Earl of Bute £9,385 to help re-build Rothesay Castle after damage in the Civil War. He was also crowner or coroner of Bute from 1666-98. During the 18th century, the original mullion windows of Ascog House were enlarged and fitted with sash and casement frames.

  • The Constitutional Conventions and Constitutional Change: Making Sense of Multiple Intentions
    Harry Hobbs and Andrew Trotter* THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTIONS AND CONSTITUTIONAL CHANGE: MAKING SENSE OF MULTIPLE INTENTIONS ABSTRACT The delegates to the 1890s Constitutional Conventions were well aware that the amendment mechanism is the ‘most important part of a Cons­ titution’, for on it ‘depends the question as to whether the state shall develop with peaceful continuity or shall suffer alternations of stagnation, retrogression, and revolution’.1 However, with only 8 of 44 proposed amendments passed in the 116 years since Federation, many commen­ tators have questioned whether the compromises struck by the delegates are working as intended, and others have offered proposals to amend the amending provision. This paper adds to this literature by examining in detail the evolution of s 128 of the Constitution — both during the drafting and beyond. This analysis illustrates that s 128 is caught between three competing ideologies: representative and respons ible government, popular democracy, and federalism. Understanding these multiple intentions and the delicate compromises struck by the delegates reveals the origins of s 128, facilitates a broader understanding of colonial politics and federation history, and is relevant to understanding the history of referenda as well as considerations for the section’s reform. I INTRODUCTION ver the last several years, three major issues confronting Australia’s public law framework and a fourth significant issue concerning Australia’s commitment Oto liberalism and equality have been debated, but at an institutional level progress in all four has been blocked. The constitutionality of federal grants to local government remains unresolved, momentum for Indigenous recognition in the Constitution ebbs and flows, and the prospects for marriage equality and an * Harry Hobbs is a PhD candidate at the University of New South Wales Faculty of Law, Lionel Murphy postgraduate scholar, and recipient of the Sir Anthony Mason PhD Award in Public Law.

    Ascog Farm Ascog Isle of Bute PA20 9LL 6 September 2013 Scottish Ministers c/o DPEA 4 The Courtyard Callendar Business Park Falkirk FK1 1XR Dear Sir/Madam PLANNING PERMISSION APPEAL: CASE REFERENCE PPA‐130‐2032 ERECTION OF 3 WIND TURBINES (74 METRES HIGH TO BLADE TIP) AND TURBINE CONTROL BUILDING AND ACCESS ROAD; ASCOG FARM, BALMORY ROAD, ISLE OF BUTE, ARGYLL AND BUTE A recent study by renewable energy consultants AECOM (Aecom, 2011) for our community partners Towards Zero Carbon Bute has found that ‘there is an internationally attractive wind resource on the island [of Bute] and that if it were to be developed to its maximum potential then it could contribute to a significant reduction in the island’s carbon footprint.’ Measurements from the 50m high meteorological mast installed between late January 2012 and June 2013 close to the brow of the Hill of Ascog confirm this assertion. The yield reports prepared from this data by German equipment manufacturer Enercon for its E48 and E44 turbines (enclosed) indicate that approximately 8GWh of electricity would have been produced by the installation of three of either of these turbine models (E48=74m to tip; E44=67m to tip). This is the equivalent of the annual electricity consumption of around 2,000 households. There are around 3,500 households on Bute. An analysis of the planning policies mentioned in the Handling Report (Table 1, below) makes clear there are no ornithological, historical/architectural or technical etc. reasons why the project should not proceed. Indeed summing decisions as a ‘pass’ (+1) or ‘fail’ (‐1) for each of the policies mentioned in the Handling Report shows that there are more policies in alignment with the proposals (+3, Table 1) than against.

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT LORD HOPETOUN Papers, 1853-1904 Reels M936-37, M1154-56, M1584 Rt. Hon. Marquess of Linlithgow Hopetoun House South Queensferry Lothian Scotland EH30 9SL National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1973, 1980, 1983 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE John Adrian Louis Hope (1860-1908), 7th Earl of Hopetoun (succeeded 1873), 1st Marquess of Linlithgow (created 1902), was born at Hopetoun House, near Edinburgh. He was educated at Eton and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, but did not enter the Army. In 1883 he was appointed Conservative whip in the House of Lords and in 1885 was made a lord-in-waiting to Queen Victoria. In 1886 he married Hersey Moleyns, the daughter of Lord Ventry. In 1889 Lord Knutsford, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, appointed Hopetoun as Governor of Victoria and he held the post until March 1895. Although it was a time of economic depression, he entertained extravagantly, but his youthful enthusiasm and fondness for horseback tours of country districts won him considerable popularity. His term coincided with the first federation conferences and he supported the federation movement strongly. In 1895-98 Hopetoun was paymaster-general in the government of Lord Salisbury. In 1898 Joseph Chamberlain, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, offered him the post of Governor-General of Canada, but he declined. He was appointed Lord Chamberlain in 1898 and had a close association with members of the Royal Family. In July 1900 Hopetoun was appointed the first Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia. He arrived in Sydney on 15 December 1900 and his first task was to appoint the head of the new Commonwealth ministry.

  • The Establishment of Ballarat West 1855
    From Gold Field to Municipality: The Establishment of Ballarat West 1855 – 1857 Graeme Cartledge BA (Hons) Federation University This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts School of Arts Federation University P.O. Box 663 University Drive, Mount Helen Ballarat Victoria, 3353 Australia Submitted for examination December 2018 I Abstract This thesis examines the establishment of the Ballarat West Municipality in the years of 1855 – 1857 and the factors that contributed to the introduction of local self-government in the immediate aftermath of the Eureka Stockade. Underlying the study is the changing administrative requirements necessitated by the transition from a temporary gold field to a permanent city. A central theme explored in relation to this development is that it was a consequence of the emerging culture of modernity of that era precipitating radical political changes in local government that began with the 1835 British Municipal Corporations Act. This theme is expanded to highlight the reform of local government in the Victorian era in response to urbanization and the need for modern and rationalised methods of managing the new towns and growing cities. The difficulty in making and sustaining such progressive changes in Britain is contrasted with the eager adoption of the concept of progress and the new Victorian Municipal Corporations Act of 1854 on the Ballarat goldfields. The question as to why the Municipality was established is answered by exploring the connection between the failure of the Goldfields Commission at the end of 1854 and the belief held by many, that taxes should be accompanied with political representation and should be spent where they were collected.

  • A Colonial History of the River Murray Dispute
    Adam Webster* A COLONIAL HISTORY OF THE RIVER MURRAY DISPUTE ABSTRACT This article examines the history of the dispute over the sharing of the waters of the River Murray between the colonies, with particular emphasis on the period from the mid-1880s to the mid-1890s. The article shows that the change in water use by the colonies during this period had a signifi- cant impact on the question of how the water should be shared between the colonies. The article examines the early legal arguments regarding the ‘rights’ of the colonies to the waters of the River Murray and argues that these early legal analyses influenced the drafting of the Australian Consti- tution, which in turn has influenced the way similar disputes between the states are resolved today. I INTRODUCTION alk of reducing the flow of the waters of the River Murray evokes strong emotions in South Australians, and especially in their members of parliament.1 TThis is not a recent phenomenon and has been the case since colonial times.2 This article examines the history of the dispute over the sharing of the waters of the River Murray between the colonies, with particular emphasis on the period from the mid-1880s to the mid-1890s. I argue that this period, in the lead up to the Austra- lasian Federal Conventions of the 1890s, shaped the Convention debates, which in turn influenced the drafting of the Australian Constitution and the way in which the issue of the sharing of the waters of the River Murray between the states has been dealt with since Federation.
