The development of an integrated transportation system challenges traditional approaches to urban management and to quality of life enhancements. New balances between the concentration of urban functions to achieve economics and the dispersion of human services to facilitate local ease of access need to be formulated and implemented. New ways of linking areas where people live and where they work have to be found to rein in the escalating costs of transport infrastructure currently needed for urban areas to operate. In response to these types of outcomes, there has been a clear recognition of the need to plan in an integrated way for transport and land use so that the distribution of human activity occurs in a manner which makes most efficient use of transport investment, and in turn, increase levels of accessibility and provide more livable communities. The former Commonwealth Better Cities Program has assisted in the clear identification of these objectives and priorities. This study provides an opportunity to apply these principles in the Sunshine Coast area, not only to achieve better outcomes for that specific area, but to demonstrate the benefits of an integrated approach to land use and transport planning for communities elsewhere. The CAMCOS Study recognises the fundamental importance of the complex interrelationship between transport networks and land use distribution. This has been increasingly acknowledged in recent years as central to achieving more livable and sustainable communities. This recognition has occurred both in the community generally and within levels of government, as well as within the professional groups involved in planning for transport and land use. Consequently, the traditional approach adopted in many transport planning initiatives which relied on catering for projected increased transport needs based on a continuation of land use and development trends is now widely acknowledged as an inappropriate way of planning for the future of our communities. This approach tends to perpetuate inefficient land use patterns, dependency on the private vehicle, and urban areas which are characterised by high energy usage (and therefore low sustainability), as well as a range of substantive social concerns. These social concerns result, in part, from a deterioration in the ability of particular groups of people in the community to sustain a lifestyle in which their need for access to supportive human services, employment opportunities, cultural and leisure activities is adequately met. Inefficient systems not only add to costs but also exacerbate disadvantages including environmental disadvantage. CAMCOS - Impact Assessment No. 2 - Bio-physical Working Paper Queensland Transport 1.1 Background to this Working Paper In order to address all potential issues and concerns related to CAMCOS the project team has created four working papers for public comment addressing: ö Planning And Land Use; ö The Bio-physical Environment; ö Social Environment; and ö Land Use/ Transport Strategy Projections. Following consultation these papers will form the basis of a Review of Environmental Factors Report. This document will update any deficiencies highlighted in the Working Papers and incorporate appropriate public comment. During this time it is also anticipated that potential corridors will be defined and disseminated for public comment. This Working Paper has been created in recognition of the need to consider factors related to the bio-physical environment. It is intended to provide an overall, comprehensive overview of the natural environment and the elements that characterise its’ bio-diversity, physical features and functions. A better understanding of the existing conditions will facilitate discussion of related issues and concerns during the CAMCOS study process. The project team recognises this as a key to an informed decision making process affecting people and the communities they live in within the study area. To achieve this goal the paper has been organised to focus on eight key areas of discussion including information on: ö Data Collection; ö Public Consultation; ö Geology, Soils and Geotechnics; ö Agriculture; ö Forestry; ö Ecology; ö Water Quality; and ö Flood Hydraulics; At this stage of the study these areas have primarily been approached from a regional or shire perspective. The information collected will assist in the refinement of the corridor analysis at a later point in the study process. CAMCOS - Impact Assessment No. 2 - Bio-physical Working Paper Queensland Transport 2.0 Study Area The Study Area for the first stage of the study process can be roughly defined as incorporating the Shire Councils of Caboolture, Caloundra and Maroochy. The boundaries of CAMCOS is provided graphically in Figure 2.0. For this stage of the CAMCOS project, the study area will primarily cover a region ranging from Landsborough eastwards to Bell’s Creek, northwards along the coastal plain from Caloundra to Maroochydore, and west to include the communities of Eudlo, Woombye and Nambour. As part of the corridor study process the study will also consider the implications of upgrading the existing north coast rail line to the south through Beerwah, Beerburrum to just north of Caboolture. As the study progresses, potential transportation corridors will be identified and then assessed in the second stage of the project. At this stage impacts, specific to the potential corridors will be considered and the study area will also be refined to reflect the more intensive investigation. This Working Paper will consider bio-physical issues which fall within the Study Area and significantly relate to the first stage of CAMCOS. CAMCOS - Impact Assessment No. 2 - Bio-physical Working Paper Queensland Transport 3.0 Data Collection 3.1 Terrestrial Flora Information on the flora of the study area was gathered from published and unpublished existing reports, studies and GIS information, drawn from a wide range of sources. The principal documents included: ö Vegetation Survey and Assessment of Landscapes within the Boundaries of the Maroochy Shire (Turnbull & Olsen 1992); ö The Vegetation Mosaic of Lands within the Boundaries of Caloundra City Council (Olsen & Drane 1993); ö Conservation status of Queensland's Bio-regional Ecosystems: Summary (QDEH 1995); ö Remnant Bushland of South East Queensland in the 1990's (Catterall & Kingston 1993); and ö Various digital (GIS layer) maps received from Caloundra City, Maroochy Shire, Cabooluture Shire and the SEQ 2001 Unit that include vegetation and conservation areas.

  • Laboratory Evaluation of the Predation Efficacy of Native Australian Fish on Culex Annulirostris (Diptera: Culicidae)
    Journal of the Americctn Mosquito Control Association, 20(3):2g6_291,2OO4 Copyright A 2OO4by the American Mosquib Control Association, Inc. LABORATORY EVALUATION OF THE PREDATION EFFICACY OF NATIVE AUSTRALIAN FISH ON CULEX ANNULIROSTRIS (DIPTERA: CULICIDAE) TIMOTHY P HURST, MICHAEL D. BRowNI eNo BRIAN H. KAY Australian Centre International for and Tropical Health and Nutrition at the eueensland Institute of Medical pO Research, Royal Brisbane H<tspital, eueensland 4029, Austalia ABSTRACT. The introduction and establishment of fish populations can provide long-term, cost-effective mosquito control in habitats such as constructed wetlands and ornamental lakes. The p.idution efficacy of 7 native Brisbane freshwater fish on I st and 4th instars of the freshwater arbovirus vector culex annulirostris was evaluated in a series of 24-h laboratory trials. The trials were conducted in 30-liter plastic carboys at 25 + l"C urder a light:dark cycle of l4:10 h. The predation eflcacy of native crimson-spotted rainbowfish Melanotaenia (Melanotaeniidae), cluboulayi Australian smelt Retropinna semoni (Retropinnadae), pacific blue-eye pseudomugil (Atherinidae), signfer fly-specked hardyhead Craterocephalus stercusmLtscarum (Atherinidae), hretail gudgeon Hypseleotris gttlii (Eleotridae), empire gudgeon Hypseleotris compressa (Eleotridae), and estuary percilet Am- bassis marianus (Ambassidae) was compared with the exotic eaitern mosquitofish Getmbusia iolbrooki (poe- ciliidae). This environmentally damaging exotic has been disseminated worldwide and has been declared noxrous in Queensland. Melanotaenia duboulayi was found to consume the greatest numbers of both lst and 4th instars of Cx. annuliro.t/ri.t. The predation efficacy of the remaining Australian native species was comparable with that of the exotic G. holbrooki. With the exception of A- marianu^s, the maximum predation rates of these native species were not statistically different whether tested individually or in a school of 6.

Received 14 October 2018; revised 13 January 2019; accepted 24 January 2019; advance access publication 18 February 2019. The seascape context of coastal ecosystems plays a pivotal role in shaping patterns in fish recruitment, abundance, and diversity. It might also be a principal determinant in structuring the recruitment of fish assemblages to restored habitats, but the trajectories of these relationships require further testing. In this study, we surveyed fish assemblages from 14 restored oyster reefs and 14 control sites in the Noosa River, Queensland, Australia, that differed in the presence or absence of seagrass within 500 m, over four periods using baited cameras.

Supporting Document no. 7 for the 2014 Update of the SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan. Note regards State Government Planning Policy: The Queensland Government is currently undertaking a review of the SEQ Regional Plan 2009. Whilst this review has yet to be finalised, the government has made it clear that the “new generation” statutory regional plans focus on the particular State Planning Policy issues that require a regionally-specific policy direction for each region. This quite focused approach to statutory regional plans compares to the broader content in previous (and the current) SEQ Regional Plan. The SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan has therefore been prepared to be consistent with the State Planning Policy.

    Nearshore Marine Biodiversity of the Sunshine Coast, South-East Queensland: Inventory of molluscs, corals and fishes July 2010 Photo courtesy Ian Banks Baseline Survey Report to the Noosa Integrated Catchment Association, September 2010 Lyndon DeVantier, David Williamson and Richard Willan Executive Summary Nearshore reef-associated fauna were surveyed at 14 sites at seven locations on the Sunshine Coast in July 2010. The sites were located offshore from Noosa in the north to Caloundra in the south. The species composition and abundance of corals and fishes and ecological condition of the sites were recorded using standard methods of rapid ecological assessment. A comprehensive list of molluscs was compiled from personal observations, the published literature, verifiable unpublished reports, and photographs. Photographic records of other conspicuous macro-fauna, including turtles, sponges, echinoderms and crustaceans, were also made anecdotally. The results of the survey are briefly summarized below. 1. Totals of 105 species of reef-building corals, 222 species of fish and 835 species of molluscs were compiled. Thirty-nine genera of soft corals, sea fans, anemones and corallimorpharians were also recorded. An additional 17 reef- building coral species have been reported from the Sunshine Coast in previous publications and one additional species was identified from a photo collection. 2. Of the 835 mollusc species listed, 710 species could be assigned specific names. Some of those not assigned specific status are new to science, not yet formally described. 3. Almost 10 % (81 species) of the molluscan fauna are considered endemic to the broader bioregion, their known distribution ranges restricted to the temperate/tropical overlap section of the eastern Australian coast (Central Eastern Shelf Transition).
