Hundred Of Tarcowie
The Hundred of Tarcowie is a cadastral unit of hundred located on the south western slopes of the Narien Range in the Mid North of South Australia spanning the township of Tarcowie, the locality of Hornsdale, and surrounds. One of the 12 hundreds of the County of Dalhousie, it was proclaimed in 1871 by Governor James Fergusson and named for an indigenous term thought to mean 'wash away water'. Local government Local administration of the hundred commenced in 1888, when it was annexed by the District Council of Caltowie following the promulgation of the District Councils Act 1887. In 1935 Caltowie council amalgamated with most of the Belalie council and the Mannanarie ward of Yongala council to form the new District Council of Jamestown. In 1997 Jamestown became part of the much larger Northern Areas Council.

Hornsdale Wind Farm
The Hornsdale Wind Farm is an electricity generator in the locality of Hornsdale in the south-west of the Narien Range, north of Jamestown, South Australia. It consists of 99 wind turbines with a generation capacity of . The plant is owned and operated by Neoen, a French renewable energy company. The electricity generated by Hornsdale Wind Farm is contracted to be supplied to the Australian Capital Territory. Construction The "Balance of Plant" civil engineering and site works for the wind farm was performed by Catcon for all three stages of construction. The wind turbine generators were imported from Denmark, and the towers from Vietnam. They were commissioned by Siemens Australia. Before the whole wind farm was commissioned, Hornsdale was generating 86 MW immediately prior to the 2016 South Australian blackout in September 2016. Operation The wind farm supplies 1 TWh/year to the 275 kV grid from 3.2 MW direct-drive turbines (no gearbox). The 100 MW Phase 2 tested suppl ...

Lands Administrative Divisions Of South Australia
The lands administrative divisions of South Australia are the cadastral (i.e., comprehensively surveyed and mapped) units of counties and hundreds in South Australia. They are located only in the south-eastern part of the state, and do not cover the whole state. 49 counties have been proclaimed across the southern and southeastern areas of the state historically considered to be arable and thus in need of a cadastre. Within that area, a total of 540 hundreds have been proclaimed, although five were annulled in 1870, and, in some cases, the names reused elsewhere. All South Australian hundreds have unique names, making it unnecessary, when referring to a hundred, to also name its county (as is done in some land administration systems such as that of New South Wales). With the exception of the historic Hundred of Murray (1853–1870), which occupied parts of five counties, all hundreds have been defined as a subset of a single county. The hundreds of South Australia formed the b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
District Council Of Jamestown
The District Council of Jamestown was a local government area in South Australia, centred on the region surrounding the town of Jamestown. The District Council came into existence on 21 March 1935 following the amalgamation of 95% of the District Council of Belalie with the District Council of Caltowie and the Hundred of Mannanarie, which had been in the abolished District Council of Yongala. For almost all of its history, it surrounded but did not include the town of Jamestown itself; the Jamestown township had separated from Belalie as the Corporate Town of Jamestown in 1878, and would not merge back into the broader municipality until 1991. The council's primary towns were Caltowie, Tarcowie, and the fringes of Jamestown, with the remainder of the municipality entirely rural. It was responsible for sealing many of the major roads within its boundaries. The new council initially occupied the former District Council of Belalie office in Ayr Street, Jamestown, which dated from 19 ...

District Council Of Yongala
The District Council of Yongala was a local government area in South Australia from 1883 to 1935, seated at Yongala. History The council was established on 8 March 1883 as the first local government in the area. It initially covered only the Hundred of Yongala, consisting of the towns of Petersburg (now Peterborough) and Yongala, and the surrounding farmland. While there had been agitation for municipal government in the area, it met with opposition from Petersburg residents who did not want to pay taxes to the larger council, with the ''South Australian Register'' reporting in February 1883, the month before it was gazetted, that "excitement had cooled" and that they did not expect it to be created that year. In 1883, it had an area of 200 square miles, which was valued at £203,630. On 7 October 1886, Petersburg separated as the Corporate Town of Petersburg, taking with it a significant amount of the municipal population. The promulgation of the ''District Councils Act 188 ...

District Council Of Belalie
The District Council of Belalie was a local government area in South Australia. It was proclaimed on 11 November 1875, and initially comprised most of the cadastral Hundred of Belalie, including its central town of Jamestown. Jamestown itself had originally been planned to be named Belalie when surveyed; while the town had been renamed, the Belalie name was retained for the council. It was divided into five wards at its inception (Centre, North-West, North-East, South-West and South-East) with one councillor each, the first councillors for each being appointed by proclamation. The South-East and South-West wards had been replaced by the Yarcowie and Yongala wards by 1893. On 25 July 1878, the town of Jamestown was severed from the Belalie council with the creation of the Corporate Town of Jamestown, leaving Belalie as an entirely rural municipality with no towns within its boundaries. It gained the Hundred of Whyte and the remnant rural portions of the Hundred of Belalie under t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
District Councils Act 1887
The District Councils Act 1887 was an act of the Parliament of South Australia. It received assent on 9 December 1887, and its provisions came into effect when proclaimed by Governor William C. F. Robinson on 5 January 1888. The legislation introduced local government to many areas of South Australia in which it had not previously existed, especially in the north and west of the state, and involved substantial change to many existing municipalities. In total, it involved the creation of 20 new councils, the expansion of 35 existing councils into lands previously without local government, and the amalgamation of 17 pre-existing councils into eight larger councils. The remaining existing councils were left unchanged, as were individual incorporated towns. The legislation fixed both a minimum number of five councillors and a maximum of ten councillors for District Councils across the state. The Governor appointed councillors for all of the new councils, to hold office for six months ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It came into operation on 28 February 1878, with the first five councillors appointed by proclamation. The town and hundred had both been laid out in 1872. The council initially met in local hotels, leased private offices for a period, and met at Hornsdale Station for a year, before constructing purpose-built council offices in Charles Street, Caltowie, in 1896. The council was initially divided into four wards: Central, South-Western and North-Western, electing one councillor, and Eastern, electing two councillors.

Hundred Of Tarcowie, 1890 (23489143850)
100 or one hundred (Roman numeral: C) is the natural number following 99 and preceding 101. In medieval contexts, it may be described as the short hundred or five score in order to differentiate the English and Germanic use of "hundred" to describe the long hundred of six score or 120. In mathematics 100 is the square of 10 (in scientific notation it is written as 102). The standard SI prefix for a hundred is "hecto-". 100 is the basis of percentages (''per cent'' meaning "per hundred" in Latin), with 100% being a full amount. 100 is a Harshad number in decimal, and also in base-four, a base in-which it is also a self-descriptive number. 100 is the sum of the first nine prime numbers, from 2 through 23. It is also divisible by the number of primes below it, 25. 100 cannot be expressed as the difference between any integer and the total of coprimes below it, making it a noncototient. 100 has a reduced totient of 20, and an Euler totient of 40.

Government Of South Australia
The Government of South Australia, also referred to as the South Australian Government, SA Government or more formally, His Majesty’s Government, is the Australian state democratic administrative authority of South Australia. It is modelled on the Westminster system of government, which is governed by an elected parliament. History Until 1857, the Province of South Australia was ruled by a Governor responsible to the British Crown. The Government of South Australia was formed in 1857, as prescribed in its Constitution created by the Constitution Act 1856 (an act of parliament of the then United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland under Queen Victoria), which created South Australia as a self-governing colony rather than being a province governed from Britain. Since the federation of Australia in 1901, South Australia has been a state of the Commonwealth of Australia, which is a constitutional monarchy, and the Constitution of Australia regulates the state of South A ...
