North East Downs News
North East Downs News APRIL 2018 NED HAPPENINGS: NED AGM: The AGM was held on 18th October 2017 in the Jondaryan Room at the Oakey RSL. This year’s guest speaker was Jarrod Kath from USQ. Jarrod gave a presentation on a project he is involved in called “Mapping pasture drought risk and recovery across the Darling Downs.” The aim of the project is to map the vulnerability and recovery capacity of pastures to drought across grazing lands of the Darling Downs using satellite data. The maps show how pastures responded to drought and rainfall events in the past, which pastures are likely to be most vulnerable to current and future droughts and which are best likely to recover after drought. The following were elected as management committee position holders for NED for the following year: Chair: Graham Cooke Vice Chair: David Lange Secretary: Glenys Bowtell Treasurer: Davida Schemioneck Management Committee Members: Ashley Volz, Cheryl Vonhoff, Desley Spies and Lindsay Evans. Gomaren & Doctors Creek Photographic Competition Exhibition: Toowoomba Regional Council Mayor Paul Antonio opened the exhibition and awarded section winners with their prizes at Kingsthorpe. This is the second year the competition has run and received 148 entries over 10 categories. Winning entries toured in the Mobile Library throughout the months of November. Sections and Winners were: Working on the Farm: Chris Bartkowski Australian Native Animal: Jean Gundry Australian Native Bird: Jean Gundry Australian Native Flora: Kaja Schneider Local Weather: Chris Bartkowski Feral Species: Kaja Schneider Best Farm Buddies: Jessica Hanson Sunrise or Sunset: Chris Bartkowski Any Aspect of Rural Life: Jessica Hanson. -

Management of Low Traffic Volume Roads Unsealed Road Classification System
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND FACULTY OF HEALTH, ENGINEERING AND SCIENCES MANAGEMENT OF LOW TRAFFIC VOLUME ROADS UNSEALED ROAD CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED BY Mr ANDREW HARTWIG IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIRMENT OF ENG4112 Research Project TOWARDS THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING (CIVIL) OCTOBER 2013 ABSTRACT Unsealed roads play an important role within Australia’s 825,000km road network. Providing the necessary funds to the unsealed portion of the network is an ongoing issue. Investigation into Toowoomba Regional Council’s unsealed road maintenance practices was undertaken to determine if any improvements or modifications could be made to improve delivery of this service. The aim was to provide consistency across Tooowoomba Regional Council resulting in maximisation of limited maintenance funds. To achieve consistency and maximise funds across Tooowoomba Regional Council a road classification system was developed. A four tier classification system was developed that outlines the service function and characteristics of roads throughout Tooowoomba Regional Council. Maintenance activities, intervention levels and response times were developed in accordance with the classification system. Estimated costs in maintaining the road network based on this system were calculated to predict funding requirements for the future. From a comparison completed, on previous years maintenance expenditure and future funding requirements, there was minimal difference between the two. Determining if the classification system is adequate for Tooowoomba Regional Council’s requirements, involves the classification system to be trialled for a period, so as to make adjustments and provide community feedback. The development of the classification system, while not providing a definitive answer on maintenance costs, has provided a method of adopting consistent maintenance practices and standards across the region which did not previously exist. -
