Reece High School

Reece High School is a government co-educational comprehensive secondary school located in Devonport, Tasmania, Australia. Established in 1955, the school caters for approximately 450 students from Years 7 to 12 and is administered by the Tasmanian Department of Education. History The school was established in 1955 and was named after Eric Reece. December 2000 fire The old Reece High School was destroyed by a fire in December 2000. Planning and reconstruction of a new school began soon after, however during the two years of reconstruction, students from Reece High School co-located with Devonport High School, with both schools operating independently from the one campus. Re-establishment in 2003 Reece High School reopened its doors to students in 2003. Classrooms were equipped with power outlets, windows and toilet facilities and attempts were made to enable wireless internet access throughout the school. Of the school's A$10 million rebuild budget, a significant portion was spent on AV equipment. The year 7 and 8 classrooms or PLAs (Primary Learning Areas) were built in clusters of four linked by walls, so as to allow interaction between classes. These walls were more soundproof than previous walls, and stopped noise between classrooms. The other home rooms in the school were of more conventional design, but more spacious and revamped to take advantage of the school's technological renovations. All rooms in the school are lit and most have windows, unlike many other Tasmanian schools. Awards 2003 James D. MacConnell Award from the Council of Educational Facilities Planners International for Building Design excellence.

Reece Dam

The Reece Dam (also called the Lower Pieman Dam) is a concrete-faced rock-fill embankment dam across the Pieman River, located in the West Coast region of Tasmania, Australia. Completed in 1986, the resultant reservoir, Lake Pieman, was established for the purpose of generation of hydroelectricity via the adjacent Reece Power Station, a conventional hydroelectric power station. Dam overview The concrete-face rockfill dam wall is 122 metres (400 ft) high and 374 metres (1,227 ft) long. When full, the reservoir has capacity of 300.2 gigalitres (243,400 acre⋅ft) and covers 222 hectares (550 acres), drawn from a catchment area of 2,653 square kilometres (1,024 sq mi). The uncontrolled spillway has a flow capacity of 4,742 cubic metres per second (167,500 cu ft/s). The reservoir receives water from Lake Rosebery. Lake Pieman is a long, narrow lake that follows the line of the Pieman River from the Reece Dam back to Rosebery and the Bastyan Dam. Hydroelectric power station Part of the Pieman Power Development scheme that comprises four hydroelectric power stations, the Reece Power Station is the final station in the scheme, before the water runs out to sea. The power station is located aboveground at the foot of the dam wall. Water from the lake is fed to the power station into two independent 250-metre (820 ft)-long tunnels. The power station was commissioned in 1986 and 1987 by the Hydro Electric Corporation (TAS) and the station has two Fuji Francis turbines, with a combined generating capacity of 238 megawatts (319,000 hp) of electricity. The station output, estimated to be 1,025 gigawatt-hours (3,690 TJ) annually, is fed to TasNetworks' transmission grid via a 13.8 kV/220 kV Fuji generator transformer to the outdoor switchyard. Etymology Both the dam and the power station were named in honour of Eric Reece, the Premier of Tasmania between 1958 and 1969 and again between 1972 and 1975. Reece was a firm proponent of the Hydro-Electric Commission and the development of hydroelectricity in Tasmania.

Regatta Point

Regatta Point is the location of a port and on Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania. Port Regatta Point is often assumed into the name of the locality across the bay in Macquarie Harbour, Strahan. The other ports in Macquarie Harbour were Strahan, and Pillinger at the southern end of the harbour. Most shipping through the notorious Hells Gates is now the fishing fleet. The last sea-based delivery of explosives for the Mount Lyell Mining & Railway Company occurred as late as 1976. Railway terminus It was the port and terminus of the Mount Lyell railway line from Queenstown. When fully operational before closure in the 1960s, it was the location of the transfer of Mount Lyell materials to ships. Regatta Point was the location of the connection between the Mount Lyell private railway and the Zeehan to Strahan line, which passed through Strahan on the way to Zeehan. Station An earlier building at the station location was burnt down in 1900. It is currently the West Coast Wilderness Railway terminus. The remaining station building at Regatta Point has been restored for the new service, having lain at risk from the 1960s to the 1990s. Nearest ports Outside of Macquarie Harbour – on the north coast of Tasmania – Burnie or the southeast Hobart – smaller anchorages exist in between – but are either facility-free Port Davey or dangerous Trial Harbour.

Repulse Dam

The Repulse Dam is a concrete arch dam with an earth-filled embankment across the Lower River Derwent, located in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania, Australia. Completed in 1968, the resultant reservoir, Lake Repulse, was established for the purpose of generating hydro-electric power via the Repulse Power Station, a conventional hydroelectric power station. The dam, its reservoir, and the power station are owned and operated by Hydro Tasmania. Dam and reservoir overview The dam wall is 42 metres (138 ft) high and 433 metres (1,421 ft) long. When full, Lake Repulse has capacity of 15,900 megalitres (12,900 acre⋅ft) and covers 153 hectares (380 acres), draw from a catchment area of 2,820 square kilometres (1,090 sq mi). The single uncontrolled spillway is capable of discharging 3,964 cubic metres per second (140,000 cu ft/s). The reservoir receives water from the Catagunya Dam. The reservoir is stocked with both brown trout and rainbow trout. In 2013, a man was charged under the Fire Service Act 1979 (TAS) after leaving a campfire unattended that resulted in the burning of over 10,000 hectares (25,000 acres) of bushland surrounding the reservoir. Hydroelectric power station Part of the Derwent scheme that comprises eleven hydroelectric power stations, the Repulse Power Station is the eighth power station in the scheme and is located adjacent to the dam wall. The facilities at the Repulse Power Station are simple and include the dam, intake structure with intake gate designed to cut off full flow, a short penstock which is integral with the dam, power station building, generator equipment and associated facilities. Approved by the Tasmanian Parliament in 1961, the power station was commissioned in 1967 by the Hydro Electric Corporation (TAS). The station has a single Boving Kaplan-type turbine with a generating capacity of 29.1 megawatts (39,000 hp). Within the station building, the turbine has a five-bladed runner and concrete spiral casing. Pre-stressed cables passing through the stay vanes anchor the spiral casing and form part of the station foundation. No inlet valve is installed in the station. The station output, estimated to be 153 gigawatt-hours (550 TJ) annually, is fed to TasNetworks' transmission grid via two 11 kV/220 kV Siemens generator transformers to the outdoor switchyard. In 2019, Hydro Tasmania announced an upgrade of the power generating infrastructure. Water discharged from the Repulse Power Station flows into the River Derwent via the Cluny Lagoon.

Residence of John Curtin

John Curtin's house was the home of Prime Minister John Curtin in Cottesloe, Western Australia. Built in 1923, it was the Curtin family home until it was bought jointly by Western Australian Government and the Australian Government in 1998. The house is an interwar California bungalow design, designed by Curtin, and one of the first buildings built by Arnold Bullock, a prominent builder in the Cottesloe area during the late 1920s and 1930s. Land history Very little development occurred in the area between 1829 and 1880. In 1882, following the opening of the Fremantle to Guildford train line in 1881, Robert Napoleon Bullen purchased land to develop the Albion pleasure grounds. In 1886 the Governor of Western Australia, Sir Frederick Broome, named the area Cottesloe in honour of Baron Cottesloe, with little subdivision occurring during the next 10 years. It was not until the goldrushes during the late 1890s that the area grew to some 300 houses. Cottesloe and the beach grew in popularity with many holiday and permanent residences being built. In 1913, lot 166 was sold to lawyer Joseph Barsden and Claremont resident Walter Finey, who subdivided the lot in 1914. Lot 26 of this subdivision was then sold to Horatio Richardson of East Guildford in 1919, with the land remaining vacant until it was sold to John Curtin's wife, Elsie Curtin, in 1923. Lot 26, and subsequently the house, was addressed as number 14 Jarrad Street until the later part of the 1930s when the street numbers were altered and it became the current address 24 Jarrad Street. Building In 1923 John Curtin was the editor of the Westralian Worker and president of the Western Australian branch of the Australian Journalists' Association. With an eye to a political future, Curtin wanted the building to have the verandah around the whole house so that he could practice his speeches even when it was raining. Curtin is believed to have designed the house based on the contemporary California bungalow design popular during the inter war period of the 1920s–1930s, taking Elsie's wishes into consideration the final design had the verandah on three sides. When completed in August 1923 the house consisted of two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom which was off the rear verandah. Additionally there was an external laundry area attached to the rear of the northwest corner of the house, the outhouse with wood shed attached was situated in the north west corner of the block. Though the street front was to the south, the entrance to the house was on the eastern side with a path to the street. The house was built of brick with a timber frame and tiled roof, all of the external buildings had a corrugated iron roof with the outhouse made of brick while the laundry and wood shed are constructed of a timber frame with weatherboard sides.

Rhodes Waterside

Rhodes Waterside (previously known as Rhodes Shopping Centre) is a shopping centre in the suburb of Rhodes in the Inner West of Sydney, Australia. Transport The Northern Line offer frequent train services to Rhodes Station which is a short walk from the centre. Rhodes Waterside has bus connections to Inner West, Northern Sydney and Greater Western Sydney, as well as local surrounding suburbs. The majority of its bus services are located on Rider Boulevard outside the entrance of the centre. For many years the NSW Government has proposed adding a Rhodes ferry wharf to the Parramatta River line, but this is still in the planning stages as of August 2023. Rhodes Waterside also has multi level car parks with 2,414 spaces. History Rhodes Shopping Centre opened on 2 December 2004 as part of the $1.2 billion Rhodes Waterside development, which also includes medium density residential blocks and an office building as part of the shopping centre. The centre was developed by the Walker Corporation who also previously developed Broadway Shopping Centre. Rhodes Shopping Centre was built on the former Berger Paints factory site. Berger Paints operated on the site from 1916 until 1986 and was taken over by Orica who operated on the site until 1987. The site sat vacant since and has undergone remediation. Rhodes Shopping Centre featured IKEA, Coles, Bi-Lo and Reading Cinemas. In December 2006 Walker Corporation put the centre up for sale which was acquired by Mirvac in January 2007, and is now owned and operated by Mirvac. In 2007 Bi-Lo closed down and was replaced by Target. Target left the centre in early 2021 and was replaced by Kmart which opened later that year. Tenants Rhodes Waterside has 34,646m² of floor space. The major retailers include IKEA, Kmart, Aldi, Coles (additionally Liquorland), Bing Lee and Reading Cinemas and restaurants like Guzman y Gomez and KFC. References External links Official website
