Indeed amazing news, I've visited ace comet-hunter
Robert McNaught in March 2013 at the 0,50 m Uppsale-Schmidt telescope (in fact a Newtonian-Schmidt) and now it looks like he has retired. I didn't have the chance to speak to him at AstroFest 2014 where he was scheduled to give a lecture on comets.
The 8,5 m LSST, which will be will be located on the 2680 m high El Peñón peak of Cerre Pachon in Chile will also look out for NEO... planned first light in 2022.
On the other questions:
Mt Stromlo still has an operational observatory: the Stromlo Satellite Laser Ranging observatory operated by the space technology company Electro Optic Systems. Of course Mt Stromlo is the location of the Astrophysics research school and the Advanced Instrumentation & Technology Center which is working for the Giant Magellan Telescope, planned in Chile.
