Nova Mine

Nova Mine or Nova Operation is an underground cobalt, copper and nickel mine at Fraser Range, 160 kilometres (99 mi) east-northeast of Norseman, in the Shire of Dundas, Western Australia. The mine opened in 2015 and consists of two underground ore deposits, Bollinger and Nova, and is operated by IGO Limited. The mine is located on the traditional land of the Ngadju people. History The first of the two deposits, Nova, was discovered in July 2012 while the second one, Bollinger, was discovered the following year in February. The native title of the land the mine operates on is held by the Ngadju people, their claim to traditional ownership having been recognised by the Federal Court of Australia on 21 November 2014. The project was originally owned by Sirius Resources, formerly Croesus Mining, which commenced construction of the mine in January 2015. Construction of the mine was budgeted at A$443 million, with a start date of 2017 for production. Sirius envisioned an annual production of 6,000 tonnes of nickel, 11,500 tonnes of copper and 850 tonnes of cobalt at the mine. Four month later, in May 2015, Independence Group made a A$1.8 billion takeover bid for Sirius. In September 2015, the transaction was approved by the shareholders of Sirius, prospector Mark Creasy holding a 35 percent interest in the company, but the transaction excluded the company's gold assets, which were transferred to a new company, S2 Resources, instead. The start date for production was subsequently brought forward to late 2016 by the new owners, Independence Group, with construction costs reported to be within budged. Once the mine was operational, ore was processed through BHP's Kambalda Nickel Concentrator. The mine eventually reached commercial production in July 2017 and full nameplate production three month later. On 18 September 2019, Ricky Hanson (57), a truck driver, died from head injuries he had received at the mine on 11 September while operating the trailer covering system on the second trailer of a road train. In January 2020, Independence Group NL changed its name to IGO Limited. In 2022, IGO Limited took over fellow mining company Western Areas at a cost of A$1.26 billion, of which IGO financed A$900 million through loans and the remainder through its own capital. The acquisition included the inactive Cosmos Nickel Mine and the Forrestania Nickel Operations. In 2021–22, the mine produced 26,675 tonnes of nickel as well as 11,483 tonnes of cooper and 982 of cobalt. Nova's grades were 1.85 percent for nickel, 0.75 percent for copper and 0.07 percent for cobalt. The mine had a revenue of A$900 million, of which just over 50 percent were profit. In December 2022, the mine had to be closed for a number of weeks after a fire destroyed the diesel engine room at Nova. The mine was eventually restarted after 18 days, on 21 December 2022, after 14.9MW of temporary power generators had been installed on site.

Western Downs Green Power Hub

The Western Downs Green Power Hub is a large renewable energy project owned and operated by Neoen near Chinchilla in Queensland, Australia. It consists of the 460 MWp (direct current) Western Downs Solar Farm and a 540 MW / 1080 MWh grid battery. The solar farm consists of over one million solar panels to generate 400 megawatts of (alternating current) power. It utilizes 72-cell bi-facial solar modules on single-axis trackers; a system that tracks the sun throughout the day. It was the largest solar farm in Australia for some time. The 1,500 hectare solar farm is owned and operated by Neoen. The state government-owned renewable energy operator CleanCo Queensland has signed an agreement to purchase 80% of the project's capacity. Construction began in June 2020. The solar farm was built by Sterling & Wilson. Exports to the grid had begun by August 2022. The final solar panel was installed on 1 May 2023. The event was attended by state premier Annastacia Palaszczuk. The 540 MW / 1080 MWh big battery with grid forming inverters has 3 stages. Construction of Stage 1 of the battery had begun by January 2023, and completed in June 2025. Construction of Stage 2 began in August 2024, and completed in September 2025. The PV station and battery, along with two other batteries, are connected to the national grid via the Western Downs substation and a new 275 kilovolt line constructed by Powerlink Queensland. Battery containers for a 270 MW / 540 MWh section are made in Shanghai. Construction of Stage 3 with 305 MW / 1,220 MWh (4 hour) starts in 2026, expected operating by 2028, making the battery numbers combined 845 MW / 2,300 MWh.

Warul Kawa Indigenous Protected Area

Warul Kawa Indigenous Protected Area (also known as Deliverance Island) is a small island that is part of Australia's National Reserve System, located 34 kilometres (21 mi) south of Papua New Guinea and about 200 kilometres (120 mi) north of Thursday Island, Torres Strait. The protected area and island are the most north westerly of the Torres Strait Islands located in the water of Torres Strait, part of Queensland in Australia, and 74 kilometres (46 mi) from Indonesia, at the border of Papua province. Geology It is a sand cay surrounded by a shallow reef platform interspersed with sandy patches, with little live coral present. Brown and Green algae are predominating on the rocky substrate with some seagrass present. The island and surrounding reef support two internationally significant populations of sea turtles. It contains one of the largest rookeries for the Flatback turtle (Natator depressus). The extensive shallow water habitats in the area also support large numbers of migrating green turtles. The breeding assemblages in north and eastern Australia are the largest remaining rookeries for green turtles. The island and surrounding reef system have retained their high natural value due largely to their remoteness. Although Warul Kawa has been inhabited periodically by Europeans in the past, there has been little impact on the natural environment as evident by the presence of only two-recorded exotic plant species. The area has maintained high vegetation integrity of considerable diversity and complexity. These habitats support thirty-three species of birds, including the yellow-footed scrubfowl, not reported on many other islands in Torres Strait. Cultural significance Due to the spiritual and cultural significance that the island has for local Indigenous people, Deliverance Island was declared an Indigenous Protected Area (IPA) in February 2001. The local Indigenous name for the island, Warul Kawa, means "Island of turtles" in the Torres Strait Island language. Somerset Maugham's character German Harry from his book Cosmopolitans, a Danish mariner from Langebæk who was in fact known as Old Harry but christened as Johannes Henrik Enevoldsen (22 August 1850 – 21 January 1928), lived on the island as a hermit from about 1888 until his death.

Peak Hill Central School

Peak Hill Central School (abbreviated as PHCS) is a public school located in Peak Hill in the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia. The School has enrolled approximately 145 students from Kindergarten to Year 12 and the school is operated by the NSW Department of Education History Established on 17 February 1890, the school initially operated in a temporary facility, an old store situated on Caswell Street. With an initial enrollment of 42 students on its opening day, the school saw rapid growth throughout the year, reaching approximately 250 students by the year's end. In 1890, the school acquired a land area of one and a quarter acres through a government grant. On this site, a building constructed of cypress pine was erected to accommodate the growing student population. Unfortunately, detailed information about this building is scarce. However, available annual reports indicate that a total of £1138 was invested in constructing the building and a teacher's residence during the first two years of the school's establishment. As attendance continued to rise, additional facilities had to be provided to meet the growing demands. The inaugural headmaster of Peak Hill Public School was Mr. Albert G. Mitchell, who served from its opening until 1901. He was succeeded by Mr. James Ray, who held the position until 1905. Subsequently, Mr. Joseph Whiting took charge until 1912, after which Mr. Buttsworth assumed the role of headmaster. In 1910, the original section of the school building, which had been erected in 1891, was demolished. It was replaced by a new brick building at an estimated cost of £900. Further expansion of the school site took place in 1914 to accommodate the growing needs of the school community.The current Peak Hill Central School building opened in 1965.

Newcastle International Sports Centre

El Newcastle International Sports Centre o EnergyAustralia Stadium és un estadi situat a Newcastle, Nova Gal·les del Sud, Austràlia. En aquest estadi fan de local el Newcastle Knights de la National Rugby League i el Newcastle United Jets FC de l'A-League. És propietat del Govern de Nova Gal·les del Sud i és administrat pel Hunter International Sports Centre Trust. Història Els treballs de construcció de l'estadi van començar l'1 de desembre de 1967 i va ser inaugurat oficialment per la Reina Elisabet II el 10 d'abril de 1970. Originalment es va dir International Sports Centre (Centre Internacional d'Esports), encara que segueix formant part avui dia d'aquest complex esportiu. Els Newcastle Knights van signar un contracte d'arrendament de l'estadi per jugar els seus partits de local el 1986. Al començament de la dècada dels '90 una marca local de pneumàtics, Marathon, va guanyar els drets de patrocini de l'estadi, per la qual cosa el mateix va passar a cridar-se Marathon Stadium. A la fi del 2001, l'empresa elèctrica EnergyAustralia va aconseguir fer-se amb aquests drets, per la qual cosa l'estadi va tornar a canviar de nom, per portar el nom que té actualment. Abans de la seva primera reconstrucció, l'estadi tenia capacitat per 28.000 espectadors, incloses 5.000 localitats en la tribuna principal. El rècord d'assistència es va establir en juliol de 1995, quan 32.642 espectadors van assistir al partit entre els Knights i els Manly-Warringah Sigui Eagles. Malgrat la falta de desordenis i incidents, la policia va demanar a l'administració de l'estadi reduir la capacitat per motius de seguretat. Després del retir de l'excapità dels Knights, Andrew Johns, la nova tribuna aquest va ser batejada Tribuna Andrew Johns enfront del públic que va assistir al posterior partit entre el Newcastle Knights i els Brisbane Broncos el 22 d'abril de 2007. En l'estadi de Newcastle es jugaren quatre partits de la Copa Asiàtica 2015 de futbol, incloent una semifinal i el partit pel tercer lloc.
