The NSW Koala Strategy identifies 50 koala populations in New South Wales based on the Areas of Regional Koala Significance (ARKS) identified by the NSW Government (DPIE 2020), noting that koalas are also found outside these areas.

These 50 koala populations have been prioritised in 2 intervention categories:

• populations for immediate investment
• populations with key knowledge gaps.

The nineteen populations for immediate investment are relatively large koala populations supported by good levels of knowledge but subject to significant threats.

These populations have been prioritised for investment because we have a good understanding of their size and distribution, habitat values and the nature and intensity of threats.

Through targeted investment and management, we can reduce the threats to these koala populations. Expert assessment of a range of criteria determined whether a population area would be prioritised for investment over the next five years.

Many of the nineteen populations are likely to support a minimum of 1000 koalas, and in some cases, they likely support many more.

Populations for immediate investment in most cases exactly match existing ARKS. In a few cases, the name of the ARKS has been amended for clarity, and the boundary of several ARKS has also been amended (see Table 1 in MS Word document).

For the remaining 31 koala populations, we will address knowledge gaps through a baseline survey program to assess their population status, genetics, and health.

Some information is known about these koala populations already, however, in many places there are gaps in our knowledge. Interventions to reduce threats, improve habitat and support population viability will be carried out once the status of koalas is known and key threats identified.

It is likely that all koala populations will benefit from local, community- based actions, improved local planning processes and targeted research on the status of koalas and the distribution of habitat.

In addition to the initial surveys, for some populations we will use ongoing monitoring to track population trends and measure the effectiveness of interventions.

The intervention category of koala populations may change over time. Populations can move between categories as knowledge is improved, or populations are made more secure through strategic interventions.

HealthStats NSW is a ‘one-stop-shop’ public website bringing together data from many sources to produce statistical information about the health of the NSW population. Users can view and download data and select indicators to produce tailored reports that provide insights into a wide range of health determinants and outcomes, including: • the health status of the NSW population • health inequalities and the determinants of health • the major causes of disease and injury and current health challenges • trends in health and comparisons between age groups and geographic locations. The data in HealthStats NSW cover a range of health risk factors, diseases, locations, and specific populations.

Probability values of population assignments for samples K = 2. The population Q matrix derived from STRUCTURE clustering analysis show the inferred ancestry membership proportions of each individual, in each cluster. Each individual is represented by a single vertical line, partitioned into K colored segments that represents that individual’s estimated membership fraction in each of the K inferred clusters. The X axis corresponds to the pre-defined populations (TL, PNG, QLD, NT and NSW) and the Y axis represents the proportional estimates of the estimated membership in clusters which add up to one.

An Act for ascertaining the Number of the Inhabitants of the Colony of New South Wales in the Year One thousand eight hundred and forty-one, 1840 (4 Victoria Act No. 26) required every householder, employer of servants and proprietor and occupier of land to complete the census schedule on the second day ('or on the days immediately subsequent thereto') of March 1841.

The 1841 Census was more complete than its predecessors, as the population was recorded in police districts, counties and towns. There was a broader tabulation of results which included age groups, conjugal condition (married or unmarried), religious denomination and civil condition. Civil condition provided statistical information on the number of bond (convict) or free males and females in a household, whether they were born in the colony, arrived free, held a ticket of leave, and whether they were in government employment or private assignment.

The Census was taken by specially appointed collectors generally responsible to a Commissioner or a Bench of Magistrates, the collector completed printed forms, known as Form ‘A’ for each household in the allotted territory. After the Census magistrates were instructed to check the returns and send abstracts to the Colonial Secretary, designated Form ‘C’. The returns were then gathered together, statistics extracted and the final returns made.

This series comprises bound volumes of Form C . (NRS 1281).

The Form C records: number of return, name of establishment (usually head of household), number of each age group for males, and then for females (the age divisions are under two, two and under seven, seven and under 14, 14 and under 21, 21 and under 45, 45 and under 60, 60 and upwards); married or single; civil condition: free (born in colony, arrived free, other free persons), bond (ticket of leave, in government employment, in private assignment); then religion divided into Church of England, Church of Scotland, Wesleyan Methodists, other Protestant dissenters, Roman Catholics, Jews, Mohammedans and Pagans; occupation divided into land proprietors, merchants, bankers, and professional men; shopkeepers and other retail dealers; mechanics and artificers; shepherds and others in the care of sheep; gardeners, stockmen and persons employed in agriculture; domestic servants; all other persons not included in the foregoing classes; totals for males, for females, and for both; houses - further divided into stone or brick, wood, total; finished or unfinished; inhabited or uninhabited. The columns are totalled at the bottom of each sheet.

As well as these Abstracts of returns, there are also a number of "condensed" abstracts of returns, filled in on Form C. These enumerate the running numbers covered by each sheet of abstracts eg. one-20, 21-40 and give sums for each group as well as grand total.

Form C abstracts are arranged by district following the order in the Returns of the Colony for 1841. 'Condensed' Abstracts are filed with the district abstracts to which they pertain.

The original levee designs were generally based on an actual historic peak height flood gradient. Some experiences during recent flood events have highlighted the potential for variations in the adopted flood gradients during different flood conditions. This has resulted in levees being overtopped in a manner different from that originally envisaged. The aim of the study was to identify how different shaped hydrographs (i.e. those of a similar peak magnitude but of different volumes and/or rates of rise) affect the flood gradient and whether this affects the location and/or sequence in which the levees are overtopped. The objective of this study was to identify how different shaped hydrographs (i.e. those of a similar sized peak but of different volumes and/or rates of rise) might change the flood gradient and whether this would affect the location and/or sequence in which the levees could be overtopped. In order to achieve this it was first necessary to categorise the alternative hydrograph shapes. This was done by examining hydrograph shapes from different historical floods as well as the design events.

Surrounding the southern section of the town is a 6km long levee and surrounding the northern side a 3km levee The Audit is designed to appraise the flood security and structural adequacy of the levee system at Warren. This report presents the results of the audit and consists of a visual appraisal of the levee and materials, assessment of the water retention capacity of the levee, research of flood records and appraisal of the cost of corrective action and extent of such action.
