Fish and freshwater crayfish communities of the Brunswick and Preston Rivers
No full textThe Leschenault Inlet, located on the Swan Coastal Plain near Bunbury, is the estuary of the Brunswick, Collie, Preston and Ferguson Rivers. There is a considerable amount of information detailing the fish fauna of the Leschenault Inlet with Potter et al. (1997, 2000) recording 42 species of fish from 26 families. The estuary is dominated by gobies, atherinids and clupeids which comprised almost 90% of the fishes. Potter et al. (2000) also reported 13 species from gill net captures in the lower (tidal) Collie River. Neither of these studies reported on the fishes found within the freshwaters of the Leschenault Inlet catchment and although Pen & Potter (1990, 1991a, b, c, d, 1992) conducted biological studies on a number of native and introduced freshwater fishes in the upper Collie River by, there is no published information regarding the prevailing fishes (or freshwater crayfishes) of the Brunswick or Preston Rivers.
Hale et al. (2000) reported on the fish fauna of one site in the upper Brunswick River, near the confluence with the Augustus River, one site in the Augustus River and two sites in the Ernest River. While they recorded only two species of freshwater fish from the Ernest River (i.e. Western Pygmy Perch (Edelia vittata) and Nightfish (Bostockia porosa)), they captured a further two endemic freshwater fishes from the Augustus and upper Brunswick Rivers (i.e. Western Minnow (Galaxias occidentalis) and Freshwater Cobbler (Tandanus bostocki)) as well as larval (ammocoetes) Pouched Lampreys (Geotria australis) and three introduced fishes (i.e. Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), Brown Trout (Salmo trutta) and Eastern Mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki)). The presence of the larger introduced fishes, the lamprey and the Freshwater Cobbler in the Augustus River compared to the Ernest River was attributed to the provision of environmental water releases from Freshwater Lake. These species are more often associated with permanent waters over ephemeral systems.
The distributions of fishes inhabiting the inland waters of the south-western corner of Western Australia were documented in Morgan et al. (1998) and include the systems from Capel to Two People’s Bay east of Albany and thus does not encompass the more northerly Leschenault catchments, but does include some sites on the Collie River South Branch. The aims of the present study were to ameliorate the paucity of knowledge of the fishes and freshwater crayfishes inhabiting two of the major systems flowing into the Leschenault Inlet and thereby provide the Leschenault Catchment Council with an overview of the fishes of the Brunswick and Preston Rivers

City-zen: New Urban Energy: Preston 'City-zen Roadshow' REPORT
No full textThe Roadshow travels with a team of internationally recognized experts, in the field of energy planning and design to help develop a sustainable agenda for cities and their neighbourhoods. The overall aim of the Roadshow team is towork closely with people from the hosting city, whether they be city leaders, energy planners, local architects, professionals, academics, students and citizens. The Roadshow spends 5 days in each hosting city to deliver energy and urban design fun-shops in which all local stakeholders are welcome and encouraged to join and to take ownership of the final outcomes, outcomes that will allow the cities resources, both people and energy, to be directed effectively, by highlighting the energy challenges and potentials to be found in their neighbourhoods, and to finally present a sustainable ‘City Vision’.The following report describes the activities and outcomes of the City-zen Preston Roadshow that took place in Lancashire (United Kingdom) between the 12th & 16th of November 2018.The Preston Roadshow would not have been possible without the commitments and organisational efforts of the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) and Preston City Council (PCC). Mike Thomas (UCLan Vice Chancellor), Michael Ahern (Chief Operating Officer) and David Taylor (Pro-Vice Chancellor) used all their resources and experience to help engage the project with the university campus, its staff and students, and the city as a whole during the preparations for the Preston SWAT Studio and later Roadshow. The university’s efforts were equally matched and supported by the valued efforts of Adrian Phillips (PCC Chief Executive) and Ben Hunt (PCC Community Engagement Officer). The Roadshow team would like to take this opportunity to thank Ishwer Tailor (Honorary President of Gujarat Hindu Society) for his team’s support in reaching the citizens of the Broadgate area of Preston, and for making the Gujarat a home for the Roadshow. Special mentions must go to John Bridge (StudioJB) and Alban Cassidy (Cassidy & Ashton Architects, Preston) whose architectural enthusiasm and professional networks made the Roadshow a success. The organisation and strategic thinking for the SWAT Studio and the Roadshow would be supported by the daily commitment of Preston City Council’s Tamar Raey (PCC Economic Officer) who was on board with the project from the outset. As leader on behalf of the Roadshow team Craig Martin wishes to thank Tamar for being the ‘go to’ person throughout the process and making the Roadshow an impactful success.Climate Design and Sustainabilit
