financial support from the Australian Government (Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency) and the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility. The views expressed herein are not necessarily the views of the Commonwealth or NCCARF, and neither the Commonwealth nor NCCARF accept responsibility for information or advice contained herein. The role of NCCARF is to lead the research community in a national interdisciplinary effort to generate the information needed by decision-makers in government, business and in vulnerable sectors and communities to manage the risk of climate change impacts. We are very grateful to all our key informants in the Lachlan Catchment and the Victorian State Government who willingly gave us their time, and knowledge of the issues. We are also grateful for the support of the Lachlan Catchment Management Authority for their dedication and ongoing support of this project. We especially would like to thank Fin Martin and Joanne Lenehan who acted as key facilitators in our partnership with the CMA and were always on hand to answer questions and provide advice. Special thanks also go to all the workshop participants who came together for the technical workshop in May 2012 and the CMA workshop in August 2012 to lend their expertise and knowledge. 3 Executive summary Water management under the highly variable Murray-Darling Basin climate has lessons and broad implications for climate policies, especially as some climate change adaptation measures proposed for ecosystems and water resources in southern Australia are overly narrow or maladaptive, or involve a high level of risk of institutional failure. In this project we brought together a range of experts and representatives from the Lachlan Catchment Management Authority (CMA) to assess the risks, costs and benefits of climate change mitigation and adaptation measures and consider the extent to which they represent maladaptation or may contribute to adaptation and resilience. Specific project objectives included: 1. Conduct detailed qualitative and quantitative assessment of the risks, costs and benefits of freshwater ecosystems mitigation and adaptation options in collaboration with technical experts, CMAs and other key stakeholders; 2. Identify a framework for intervention measures for each catchment that best spread risk and increase freshwater

  • Descendants of the Leonard Family
    Descendants of the Leonard Family by Monica Jones and Rhonda Brownlow [email protected] Generation No. 1 UNKNOWN MALE 1 LEONARD He married UNKNOWN. Children are: 2. i. THOMAS 2 LEONARD, b. 1792, Woodford Ballynakill Galway Ireland; d. By 1850 Ballynakill Galway Ireland; 3. ii. MICHAEL LEONARD, b. 1807, Woodford Ballynakill Galway Ireland. Leonard Family Migrate The family of Thomas Leonard and Julia Kelly were born in Ballynakill near Woodford, County Galway. It is likely that Thomas and Julia both died before 1863. It was a poor, overcrowded district, the principal landlord being Lords Clanricarde, who over generations began enclosing their estates for grazing, resulting in many evictions of tenants and emigration during the 1830s and later. It was a disaffected district with much rebellious activity conducted by “Whiteboys” against landlords. Other Crookwell district families which came from Woodford, County Galway area were the Tully’s, Fahys and Brodericks.The Tully and Broderick families who were here at an early period and no doubts their reports encouraged the Leonard family to migrate, in fact they were to sponsor many family members to emigrate from Ireland. In fact Patrick Leonard sponsored his sister the widow Catherine Fahy and her five children and helped them make a start at Grabben Gullen. James, Margaret and Patrick's Leonard's arrived in Sydney on the ship "Loyds".Patrick was a widower whose wife had died in Ireland. He was accompanied by two children, daughter Ann aged 12 years and son Patrick aged 10 years. He married Margaret McCabe in 1860 and had a large family.

    THETHEvv iceice ofof UpperUpper LachlanLachlan Shire,Shire, thethe ShireShire ofof VillagesVillages June 2015 Major Road Improvement Projects Throughout the Shire Upper Lachlan Shire Council’s Works staff have been busy completing a number of major road improvement projects throughout the Shire. Recently, Council has completed three major projects, a substantial milestone in Council’s 2014/2015 construction program. These projects include: Main Road 54 Junction Point Road Segment 475; Main Road 256 Tarlo Hill and Range Road rehabilitation. The total cost of these road works is around $3.431 million, with funding provided by Council’s roads budget and Government funding programs. Another major work in progress is the Taralga Road reconstruction and sealing project which has been ongoing for a number of years. Council is currently working on a 3 kilometre unsealed section between Wowagin and Commissioners Creek, work involves reconstructing the road to make the pavement safer for drivers and more efficient for heavy vehicles to use. Up to 40,000 cubic metres of dirt has been shifted from the crest and used to reconstruct the road surface. The segment was cleared and prepared earlier in Council Work’s Crew on Main Road 256 Tarlo Hill: the year, and work recommenced in May and will continue into September. (L to R) Owen Davis, Tony Trounce, Dennis Waters, Eric Croker. Council staff and equipment have been used to complete the work on Taralga Road, and completion of the road will provide an important link between Crookwell and Taralga, as well links to Tablelands Way and Oberon Road giving tourism and economic development benefits to the region.

  • Lachlandcare ANNUAL REPORT 2014 - 2015
    . LachLandcare ANNUAL REPORT 2014 - 2015 The Lachlan Catchment in central western NSW features a broad geographic diversity that includes the temperate forests, woodlands and grasslands of the east, and the semi-arid woodlands, mallee and 2 shrublands of the west. The catchment area is 86,554km , which is 8% of the total Murray Darling Basin area. It is essentially a terminal system with the Lachlan River ending in the extensive wetlands of the Great Cumbung Swamp. The region includes important wetlands of national significance, is home to a variety of threatened flora and fauna, and is a key agricultural region in NSW, producing fine wine, food and textiles.
