  • An Economic Assessment of the Value of Recreational Angling at Queensland Dams Involved in the Stocked Impoundment Permit Scheme
    An economic assessment of the value of recreational angling at Queensland dams involved in the Stocked Impoundment Permit Scheme Daniel Gregg and John Rolfe Value of recreational angling in the Queensland SIP scheme Publication Date: 2013 Produced by: Environmental Economics Programme Centre for Environmental Management Location: CQUniversity Australia Bruce Highway North Rockhampton 4702 Contact Details: Professor John Rolfe +61 7 49232 2132 [email protected] www.cem.cqu.edu.au 1 Value of recreational angling in the Queensland SIP scheme Executive Summary Recreational fishing at Stocked Impoundment Permit (SIP) dams in Queensland generates economic impacts on regional economies and provides direct recreation benefits to users. As these benefits are not directly traded in markets, specialist non-market valuation techniques such as the Travel Cost Method are required to estimate values. Data for this study has been collected in two ways in 2012 and early 2013. First, an onsite survey has been conducted at six dams in Queensland, with 804 anglers interviewed in total on their trip and fishing experiences. Second, an online survey has been offered to all anglers purchasing a SIP licence, with 219 responses being collected. The data identifies that there are substantial visit rates across a number of dams in Queensland. For the 31 dams where data was available for this study, recreational anglers purchasing SIP licences have spent an estimated 272,305 days fishing at the dams, spending an average 2.43 days per trip on 2.15 trips per year to spend 4.36 days fishing per angler group. Within those dams there is substantial variation in total fishing effort, with Somerset, Tinaroo, Wivenhoe and North Pine Dam generating more than 20,000 visits per annum.

  • Queensland Meandering May to July 2012
    Queensland Meandering May to July 2012 Lake Boondooma Special points of interest: Inland Queensland Lake Boondooma South and North Burnett regions Car cricket -During some of the longer sections of this trip we played car cricket. The rules are that whoever is “batting” scores 1 point for every vehicle you pass going the opposite direction, four points for every caravan and six points for trucks. When you pass a red car you are out, and someone else has a turn, trying to beat your score. If you pass two red cars in succession, the next person is out for a duck! You can change the rules to suit yourself – for example if we pass a caravan of our own make we score ten points! Of Lakes, Rivers and Dams After our travels from home through the Flinders Ranges, up the Strzelecki Track to Innamincka, then across to the Sunshine Coast at Maroochydore, we had done some long and dusty kilometers. We rested at the Cotton Tree Caravan Park at Maroochydore, did some washing, caught up with friends and family, and did some more relaxing. It was a bit tricky, the relaxing bit, as part of our time there was a long weekend, and this park is a mecca for families in tents with eskies over long weekends…. But it is still a lovely place, regardless. The period of travel in and around Brisbane was badly affected by rain. It rained just about everywhere we went for the whole four weeks we were there. But in between the rain, we saw some magical places in the South and North Burnett regions.
