Delegates Programme DELEGATES PROGRAMME Local Government Conference 2019 TOWNSVILLE | 10-12 September President’s Message Welcome to the 2019 Local Government Conference, Transformations! It is a pleasure to welcome you to Townsville! For Queensland local governments, change is occurring simultaneously in multiple components of our business. Disruptive technologies and social demands all contribute to an expected future which is vastly different to what we previously envisaged. As the conference theme suggests, we are considering the transformational approaches to meet these changes and new demands. This conference is LGMA Queensland’s flagship event – an essential component of the Queensland local government calendar. In keeping with tradition, there are many opportunities for delegates to network, meet our valued corporate partners and explore the Townsville region and its many attractions. The 2019 social programme commences with the President’s Welcome Reception on Tuesday afternoon, the ever popular yet competitive Beach vs. Bush activity (great fun for participants and spectators alike) on Wednesday afternoon and, to close proceedings on Thursday, the Gala Dinner. We will ensure you have a chance to broaden your networks, share your experiences and views and consider what you will take back to share with your council and teams. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support. I would also like to show my sincere appreciation for our corporate partners and suppliers whose significant contributions greatly assist us in delivering a conference that showcases and celebrates Queensland councils and their communities. Have a great couple of days and I look forward to catching up with you!

  • Airport OLS Penetrations by Existing and Planned Structures in the Sydney and Brisbane CBD
    1 Airport OLS Penetrations by Existing and Planned Structures in the Sydney and Brisbane CBD It is crucial that the safety implications arising from the recent incidents involving a Qantas airbus A380 following take-off at Singapore airport on the 4th of November, 2010 and a B747 departing the same airport two days later are fully appreciated by governments at all levels. Although the problems were serious enough, they could have been a lot worse and could well have occurred at Brisbane or Sydney airports. To further illustrate what happened to the A380, the following interim list of 18 items damaged by the exploding engine was released to the media on the 11/11/2010. 1.Massive fuel leak in the left mid fuel tank (there are 11 tanks, including in the horizontal stabiliser on the tail); 2.Massive fuel leak in the left inner fuel tank; 3. A hole on the flap fairing big enough to climb through; 4 The aft gallery in the fuel system failed, preventing many fuel transfer functions; 5 Problem jettisoning fuel; 6 Massive hole in the upper wingsurface; 7 Partial failure of leading edge slats; 8 Partial failure of speed brakes/groundspoilers; 9 Shrapnel damage to the flaps; 10 Total loss of all hydraulic fluid in one of the jet'stwo systems; 11 Manual extension of landing gear; 12 Loss of one generator and associatedsystems; 13 Loss of brake anti-skid system; 14 No.1 engine could not be shut down in theusual way after landing because of major damage to systems; 15 No.1 engine could not beshut down using the fire switch, which meant fire extinguishers would not work on thatengine; 16 ECAM (electronic centralised aircraft monitor) warnings about the major fuelimbalance (because of fuel leaks on left side) could not be fixed with cross-feeding; 17 Fuelwas trapped in the trim tank (in the tail) creating a balance problem for landing; 18 Left wingforward spar penetrated by debris With so much damage to the aircraft, it’s clear that all on board were extremely lucky.
