		Wingecarribee Swamp is the largest and best example of a montane peatland in mainland Australia at the relatively low altitude of 680 - 690m.
		Wingecarribee Swamp is one of the oldest montane mires known in Australia, an example of a tableland mire that developed since the last glacial when conditions became warmer and wetter (National Trust 1992).
		Wingecarribee Swamp is linked with the history of European settlement and agriculture in the district.

		Wingecarribee Shire Council is intending to upgrade the small STP at Bundanoon, which is performing satisfactorily.

		The Rivers and Foreshores Improvement Act 1948 requires a permit to excavate or remove material in, or within 40 metres of the bank or shore of a river, lake or estuary.

		From Wingecarribee Reservoir water can be released into the Wingecarribee River - which flows into the Wollondilly River and Lake Burragorang - feeding the main Sydney supply system via Warragamba Dam.
		Wingecarribee Reservoir supplies Bowral and Mittagong via Wingecarribee Shire Council's water filtration plant located next to the reservoir.
		Water is also released from Tallowa Dam into the Shoalhaven River to enable the Shoalhaven City Council to extract water from the river to supply Nowra.

	Water plan could leave platypus up the creek - Environment - www.smh.com.au
		The platypuses in the Wingecarribee are the closest large colonies to Sydney.
		Dr Grant says this could be a problem for the platypus because high water flows can erode the earth banks, in which they dig their nesting burrows, affect the small bottom invertebrate animals on which they feed and place extra energy demands on their foraging in rapid flows.
		One remaining concern is that platypus populations in the Shoalhaven River downstream of Tallowa Dam have been short- changed of their share of water during the recent drought.

		Horses were used underground until 1968, and it is still possible to see where they were spelled on the surface at weekends and where flsmithing was carried out.
		However, there is “nuisance” water during development because the coal seam dips from above the Wingecarribee River at around 2º to well below the riverbed at 150m from surface.

	Temperate Highland Peat Swamps on Sandstone listing advice
		These swamps are found in a range of locations in the landscape, from hanging swamps in the Blue Mountains to the valley and watercourse swamps of Wingecarribee Swamp and the Paddy's River Swamps.
		Hanging swamps are especially notable in the landscape as they occur on steep valley sides in wet areas created by water exiting the ground at joins between sandstone and claystone layers of rock.
		Peat mining in the Wingecarribee Swamp after the impoundment of the lower portion, may have contributed to the collapse of the peat in the remainder of the swamp that has reduced the area of the swamp to approximately 25% of its original extent.

	City's thirst a threat to health of Shoalhaven - Environment - www.smh.com.au
		Almost a third of Sydney's water is being supplied by the Shoalhaven River each day, but there are fears the huge amount being moved could permanently alter the ecology of the river.
		A further 400 megalitres is redirected to the Nepean River for use in the Illawarra.
		"We know from inland rivers that have been used as delivery channels that it [the transfers] effectively change their ecology because a natural-flow regime is replaced with an artificial one," Mr Martin said.

	Soapy Flat Reserve Sand Mining - 20/03/1992 - ADJ
		Although the majority of the reserve is in the Wingecarribee-Richmond river catchment area and will appreciably lower slopes, mining has the potential to create high sediment loads downstream of the reserve.
		Due to the sensitivity of the site, it is imperative that an exhaustive environmental impact statement be prepared by the council and submitted to the Land Titles Office and other relevant government departments and publicly displayed in the council chambers.
		This narrow timbered strip will no doubt prove to be a valuable and popular source of take away food for feral predators and is inadequate for the purposes of allowing wildlife to transmigrate.

		In particular, the August 1998 Healthy Rivers Commission Report on the Hawkesbury Nepean River and the 1993 EPA Inventory of Pollutant Sources in the Hawkesbury Nepean Catchment found that the hydrological catchment is highly polluted by a wide variety of contaminants (HRC 1998, EPA 1993).
		There are six unworked coalmines with current leases in the Nattai River area which remain unrehabilitated and pose a threat to water quality.
		In addition, grazing and other farming activities, particularly in the Werri Berri and Nattai River areas, are significant in view of their proximity to Warragamba dam and the water supply intake structures.

		It is important to also mention the Wingecarribee Swamp, which, whilst technically outside my electorate of Southern Highlands, has a big influence on the overall environmental qualities of the electorate.
		Apart from the obvious environmental disaster that occurred, the whole Wingecarribee Swamp and its delicate ecosystem is now at risk of bushfire because the peat has dried out and just one spark will cause the whole swamp to go up in flames.
