Summary of last 12 months activity in Acreage Release Area.

The area with which this report deals is situated on the upper reaches of Coree Creek, just below its junction with Condor Creek. Two possible dam sites were examined on Coree Creek, a quarter of a mile below Condor Creek. Mapping, physiography, general geology, structural geology, engineering geology, and sources of aggregate and sand are discussed. A petrological appendix is included.

This document outlines Geoscience Australia's Onshore Energy Security Program and a working plan for its implementation over five years commencing August 2006. Part 1 summarises the budget, principles of the Program, consultation, objectives, outputs, program governance and structure, and communication. Part 2 outlines the plan of activities for each of the five years, and describes where some of the major datasets will be acquired, including radiometric, seismic reflection, airborne electromagnetic and geochemical data. Part 3 describes in brief the national and regional projects. The national projects are: Uranium, Geothermal, Onshore Hydrocarbons, and Thorium. The first four regional projects of the Program, in Queensland, South Australia, Northern Territory and northern Western Australia, are summarised. Appendix 1 outlines the objectives of current seismic reflection data acquisition as well as proposed and possible seismic reflection surveys. Appendix 2 outlines proposed and possible airborne electromagnetic surveys.

For the projected development of the hydroelectric power resources of the Laloki River, Papua, a diversion weir will be required. Two sites have been selected by the officers of the Department of Works and Housing, downstream from Rouna Falls and another site, upstream from the falls, which would be suitable for a large scale power development. An inspection of these sites was made in order to indicate any geological difficulties which may be expected. The situation, physiography, and geology of the proposed sites, as well as the suitability of these sites, are discussed in this report.

The possibility of diverting the Upper Snowy River to provide water for irrigation has been a subject of discussion since 1884. The Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Authority was constituted in 1949. As the body responsible for the detailed investigation of the geology of the area it was thought desirable to publish the geological work which has been done in the Snowy Mountains region. With the authority of the Under-Secretary of the Department of Mines, New South Wales, the reports by members of the Geological Survey of New South Wales are included together with reports by geologists of the Commonwealth Bureau of Mineral Resources, Geology and Geophysics. Reports included in this publications are: "Geology - Jindabyne to Murrumbidgee River", "Reconnaissance Survey of Dam Site at Geehi, Swampy Plain River, N.S.W", "Geological Reconnaissance of the Proposed Hydro-Electric Works in the Kosciusko Area", "Geological Reconnaissance - Eucumbene River to Tumut River", and "Geological Reconnaissance - Murrumbidgee - Tumut Area".

To provide the solar power industry with a data resource to allow them to assess the economic potential of a site for a solar power plant. Specifically under the Solar Flagship program.

High voltage transmission towers are key linear assets that supply electricity to communities and key industries and are constantly exposed to wind effects where they traverse steep topography or open terrain. Lattice type high voltage transmission towers are highly optimised structures to minimise cost and reserve strength at design wind speeds (Albermani and Kitipornchai, 2003). The structures are tested under static loading conditions for specified load cases at the design stage. However, the interconnected nature of the lattice towers and conductors present a complex response under dynamic wind loading in service (Fujimura, el.al., 2007). The transmission tower's survival under severe wind and additional load transfer due to collapse of its neighbours is difficult to assess through modelling. Furthermore, the lack of data in the industry doesn't allow for a probabilistic analysis based on history (Abdallah, et.al., 2008). Hence, there is a need for developing an alternative methodology for analysing transmission tower collapse and survival of transmission lines subjected to cyclonic winds utilising design information, limited field data and industry expertise.
