  • 3.14 Gordonvale – Goldsborough District 3.14.1 Description and Intent
    CairnsPlan – March 2009 3.14 Gordonvale – Goldsborough District 3.14.1 Description and Intent The Gordonvale – Goldsborough District is characterised by the natural features of the Mulgrave River, the Pyramid and the adjacent ranges, as well as by cane fields, the sugar mill and the commercial centre surrounding Norman Park in the centre of Gordonvale. Gordonvale be retained as a distinct community and the recognisable character and local heritage is maintained and enhanced. It is intended that the rural areas within the District should remain and that there should be a range of opportunities for residential living in the areas identified for urban development. There are opportunities for rural residential living in the Goldsborough Valley and in the area on the western side of the Gillies Highway closer to Gordonvale. A Local Store to service the residential population is appropriate for Goldsborough. Such a store should be located on Goldsborough Road, away from the recreational area along the river. This is consistent with the established planning intent. It is not intended that there should be any expansion of the areas identified for this purpose. It is intended that the areas identified for conventional residential living in the northern part of the District should be developed and consolidated. There are opportunities for medium density residential living in areas adjacent to the commercial centre, consistent with the established planning intent. Medium density residential development should complement the character of this part of Gordonvale. There is the opportunity for development of tourist accommodation, such as a caravan park, in an area adjacent to the intersection of the Bruce Highway and the Gillies Highway.

  • Chapter 2: the Cairns Setting
    CHAPTER 2: THE CAIRNS SETTING Introduction Cairns is the most northerly of Queensland’s cities and one of the fastest growing communities in Australia. It is also an isolated community, located some 1 400 km in a direct line, or 1 706 km by road, from Brisbane. Melbourne is marginally closer to Brisbane than is Cairns. An aerial image of Cairns city and inner suburbs viewed from the east is shown in Figure 2.1 (reproduced by permission of Brian Cassey Photography). The 160 square kilometre area administered by Cairns City Council has a resident population of approximately 120 000. This total can exceed 150 000 at the height of the tourist season in July- August. This combination of size, rapid growth and isolation, together with its significant history of natural hazard events (most notably cyclones and floods) makes Cairns an ideal community on which to base a case study of urban vulnerability to a range of geohazards. Community risk research on Cairns commenced under the TCCIP in 1995 with a particular focus on the risks associated with storm tide inundation. That effort provided an ideal base on which to develop the wider community risk research described in this report. The Physical Setting Topography: The major structural features of the Cairns area are shown in Figure 2.2. The dominant feature is the very steep coastal scarp that forms the eastern edge of the Atherton Tableland. That scarp is marked by (from south to north) the Isley Hills, the Lamb Range and the McAlister Range. The Whitfield Range is an offshoot from the Lamb Range and separated from it by the valley of Freshwater Creek.
