I am honored to have opportunity to address my opinion about the nature of ‘Mt Wellington’ after delving the affairs from your letter. Before making any judgements, some problems are being worth paying closs attention to here, such as profitability of Mt Wellington, transfer of ownership. Enclosed with this letter is a detailed explaination in which you may find the constructive comments.
Relating to core issue, there are two scenarios need to be classified, which will result different conclusions:
In the first place, the present situation is some areas in Mt Wellington are privately owned by the Hobart and Glenorchy city councils, although the State Government has already introduced new laws during in the earlier period this year that

Similarly, we could use the same standard to measure the other part in Mt Wellington. The rest area that no one has way to claim could not be addressed as asset. The reason is there is no entity to manage that area. According to the Australian Accounting Standard Board AASB138, it falsifies one of the essential characteristic of being asset, ‘asset must be control by the entity’. Hence, this area could not be accounted as asset. When we make an intensive study of this unowned area, it should be put into a category of ‘natural resource’ since it is out of management. According to Comstock (2016), ‘a natural resource is something that is not made by humans but is necessary or useful in their lives’. To some extent, the landscape, water resource and wild forest in this area have enriched the biodiversity and are helpful to the local environment construction. As local communities said, “any activity within Wellington Park has the potential to have an impact upon natural and cultural values, and the Council’s assets, within the reserve”. In fact, no one has the right to possess himself/herself of the unclaimed area.
At the moment, the whole Mt Wellington could not treated as an asset, even the current status is in good condition. However, there is another possibility that State Government or Commonweal would make Mt Wellington nationalized regardless of the approval and support from the Hobart and Glenorchy city councils. There is evidence that this
Of the volcanoes that are located in the United States there are two which are world renowned for their activity and their power to change the region surrounding them. The two volcanoes would be Mount Saint Helens and Mount Kilauea. In order to get a better understanding of these volcanoes we will be comparing and contrasting them as well as talking about how they were formed and when they last had an eruption.
The side of mt st Helens has been blown off by the force of the blast and trees have been demolished buy the rocks crashing at them

If any Property developers are going to take this important area away from us then good luck, because we are determined and no-one is going to stop us. The park holds special significance to the local indigenous population due to a past restriction barring Aborigines from crossing the park and entering the city of Brisbane. This land represents our freedom. The freedom that the white settlers ripped out from our grasp. I’m furious. This is where we belonged. Imagine it this way. ‘Belonging’ by Jeannie Baker. The people made their land their own. My Great, Great Grandparents made this land their own. They lived there, they created a family environment. But then, it all got taken away. What if the people from the book got their environment taken away? The reader’s would be furious, wouldn’t they? Well, as I have just told you, this scenario has happened but in a much realer way. This scenario was not fiction. It really happened. It really impacted on thousands of lives. And after this significant change was retracted, and Aborigines were allowed back in the park, they made Musgrave Park the land that they knew, that was taken away but they regained. So, are you really going to take this historical landmark away from us? By ruining the sacredness of the beautiful
Barney’s case differs from the Kelo case in that the intended use of the property is not for the use and benefit of the general-public, rather for the benefit a “particular class of identifiable individuals” (KELO V. NEW LONDON (04-108) 545 U.S. 469 (2005) ). In the Kelo case, the eminent domain was executed under the guise of stimulating the local economy and increasing jobs, in addition to the elimination of alleged blight. Further, the Kelo case pivoted on the constitutional condition that this development be for ‘public use’, which is in my opinion a stretch of the intended cushion in this statement. Not only was this not for public use, it was not even developed.
I am writing to you today to explain the habitation loss that has been occurring in Hastings point. Hastings point is a great tourist destination, due it not being full in development and it is close to the beach. Furthermore, discussions about these issues will be throughout this letter to why the council should reject from building more infrastructure, many of these reasons will be due to habitat loss.
The acquisition of the so-called “former Champion lands” resulted from one of the most complicated land deals in Vermont history. The Champion Lands in Vermont were part of a larger deal involving almost 300,000 arces in New York, New Hampshire as well as Vermont. The specifics of how the property was transferred to the current owners are relevant because in some cases the provisions of the transfer mandate certain types of management or constrain management in other ways.
May 18, 1980 was a day that dawned sunny and beautiful. Mt. St. Helens stood out beautifully against the blue sky. The mountain had been rumbling quite a bit the past few days, and geologists were watching it carefully and monitoring vibrations. There had been a series of earthquakes from around March 12, up until present day. Over 170 earthquakes hit that were higher that 2.5 on the Richter scale in that short period of time. The earth shook with an earthquake that hit 5.0 on the Richter scale, at around 8:32 in the morning. That did it. Mount St. Helens blew apart with the force of over 500 times more powerful than the atomic bomb. The lateral blast traveled at over 300 miles an hour, and destroyed 230 square miles of forest in just 3 minutes.
Here, the Court ruled no Indigenous land use agreement (ILUA) – a form of native title granting – existed, because presently standing ILUAs were found to be invalid should a member of the agreement be incapacitated or deceased . This recent decision affects legislation passed to protect native title claims under the Native Title Act 1993 Cth, with changes being made to the Act explained as to “resolve uncertainty created by [the McGlade decision] regarding area Indigenous Land Use Agreements”5. Effectively, the amendments indicate previously standing legislation protecting Indigenous land rights will be void, with the necessity of the having all agreement members sign the deed. The reality is, for many old and new native title claims, some Indigenous Peoples may have passed on and will not be able to complete the agreement to the required legal standard, rendering their claims invalid. With the Native Title Act 1993 Cth being amended to these new rulings, it becomes evident that in practice, supposed legislative protection of native title rights do not actually take
The land in the Woronora Special Area is mostly owned by the Sydney Catchment Authority. A small area of privately owned land, mainly used for stock agistment and horticulture, lies in the southern part of the catchment.
Previously the Commonwealth Government tried to keep away from the conflicts between State Governments over indigenous land rights. However, the then PM Paul Keating of the Labour Government wanted to find a way to help those in need of rights. There was a risk with this decision as some other State Governments might try to legislate to stop indigenous land rights as Western Australia had done. This led to the Commonwealth Government putting forward its own legislation. The Act that was created was the Native Title Act 1993 (Cwlth). It was passed in late December 1993 and began in force in January 1st
King Island Council is custodian of an extensive range of community assets that it provides to facilitate the delivery of its services to the community. Buildings are an important component of Council’s asset portfolio. In order to facilitate the provision of its services to the community, KI Council manages an extensive range of community assets and one of the more significant asset groups are buildings. In developing this plan, it was identified that Council’s interests historically (and in line with community’s expectations) extended beyond Council owned assets to other community facilities. The purpose of this Buildings Asset Management Plan is to:

(New Zealand Government, 2015, para. 1). Prime Minister John Key, the main advocate for change, officially launched such discussion last year in a public address he gave at Victoria’s University in Wellington. One of the main points presented in Key’s (2014) speech were his views on how he believes Moreover Key (2014) also argued (para. 88). So far the Prime Ministers proposal failed to inspire the public. On the contrary, it has produced a substantial amount of controversy. The main arguments seem to revolt around the issues of cost, process, national symbol, history and change. This paper will look more closely into each of these aforementioned public differences and close with my own view concerning this debate.
