  • Toowoomba Range Clearance Upgrade Works
    Toowoomba Range Clearance Upgrade Works notice Queensland Rail is preparing for tunnel floor lowering works through 1 rail tunnels on the Toowoomba Range and Little Liverpool Range. This project is being undertaken to provide clearance for international standard size containers which will support the agricultural industry by enabling the transport of agricultural freight via rail from the Darling Downs and South West regions of Queensland through to the Port of Brisbane. In addition, works will also be carried out at two sites on the Toowoomba Range to secure identified sections of slope to enable the ongoing safe operation of rail traffic in this area. What is involved? During scheduled track closures in January and February 2017, Queensland Rail will undertake site investigation works at all 11 tunnel locations and two slope stabilisation sites. These works will involve visual inspections and drilling activities and will be undertaken from 6am to 6pm each day between: • Saturday 14 to Sunday 15 January • Friday 27 to Sunday 29 January • Saturday 25 to Sunday 26 February. Vehicles will be accessing the Toowoomba Range rail corridor via a number of locations including Murphys Creek Road (adjacent to Morleys Road), McCormack Drive and Donnellys Road. Following these site investigation works and upon completion of the project design, it is anticipated that major construction works will commence in mid-2017. Construction impacts Residents in close proximity to the rail corridor may experience an increase in noise during planned works. Queensland Rail apologises in advance for any temporary inconvenience generated by these works. Queensland Rail Limited ABN 71 132 Queensland Rail Limited Works location Nine of the 11 tunnels are located on the Toowoomba Range, indicated by blue arrows in the image below.

Memoirs of the Queensland Museum – Culture 5(1): 31-52. Brisbane. ISSN 1440-4788 The decision to build the first railway in Queensland from Ipswich to the Darling Downs meant that railway workshops were required at Ipswich. The development of the Ipswich Railway Workshops site began with the original Ipwich Workshops site of 1864 which was adjacent to the Bremer River at North Ipswich. The first two major workshop buildings were iron and zinc structures imported from England in pre-fabricated form. Over the next few years, additional buildings including a brick store were constructed by local contractors.

Queensland Rail provided the 2013-14 to 2016-17 Capital Expenditure Report for the West Moreton Network to the QCA on 21 December 2017. The QCA's Final Decision on AU1 approved the West Moreton Network as at 1 July 2013 and the estimated capital expenditure to be included in the Capital Indicator for the period 1 July 2013 to 30 June 2020. This will be the first time the QCA considers capital expenditure for approval in the RAB since AU1 was approved. In subsequent communication between our officers, the QCA has sought evidence that assets included in the Capital Expenditure Report have been commissioned. Queensland Rail is now providing a revised estimate for the Capital Expenditure Report reflecting commissioned assets, as included in the Fixed Asset Register by year, as opposed to capital expenditure by year. The revised estimates are included in Attachment 1. Separately, Queensland Rail is providing the QCA with its records supporting the recognition of assets in the Fixed Asset Register. Consistent with the requirement of Clause 1.3(c) of AU1, I can confirm that the information contained in Attachment 1 in respect of the assets commissioned on the 2013-14 to 2016-17 Capital Expenditure Report is in all material respects correct.

    PD-32:SOUTH DESIGN GUIDELINES September, 2009 PREPARED BY: COLLABORATORS: CLARK & GREEN ASSOCIATES CITY OF LONG BEACH ALTOON+PORTER ARCHITECTS THE BOEING M C CLARAND VASQUEZ COMPANY EMSIEK & PARTNERS Th e Vision “Douglas Park” will turn an outdated and obsolete aircraft manufacturing facility into a vibrant mixed-use, pedestrian friendly community that combines the best elements of the older established planning traditions of Long Beach with the contemporary realities of business, retailing and modern lifestyles. “Douglas Park” will be focused on the shared public environment; from walkable tree lined streets, to a human scaled mixed-use “Main Street” with shopping, dining and other services, along with a variety of neighborhood open spaces, quality architecture, pedestrian connections and bicycle trails. At the same time, “Douglas Park” will incorporate the workplace, including a balanced blend of offi ce and other commercial opportunities to provide much needed employment. Service and recreational land uses will be located within comfortable walking distance of commercial areas to enhance the sense of community, off er unique lifestyle choices and reduce automobile dependence. “Douglas Park” will celebrate the products, the events, and the people who made history on the site through the incorporation of this memory into everyday living. Th is legacy will be remembered through a Public Art Master Plan designed to “tell the story” of the site in public areas such as open spaces, pedestrian paths, sidewalks, streets and parkways. “Douglas Park” represents a deliberate eff ort to establish a strong sense of community rather than an isolated aggregation of projects, by emphasizing neighborhoods rather than subdivisions, a main street rather than a shopping center and a mixed-use commercial district rather than a business park.
