This work major growth areas. was also triggered as the former local government authorities (prior to amalgamation in 2008) planned differently for open space, and the Approach and Methodology range of data available varied across the new Council area. The methodology to develop the Study is broken down into stages. Good parks don’t just happen. They are the result of considerable This helps to show the sequential development of a strategic planning.

  • Bundaberg Flood Protection Study Developing a 10-Year Action Plan for Flood Mitigation in Bundaberg
    October 2016 – not Government policy Technical Discussion Paper Bundaberg flood protection study Developing a 10-year action plan for flood mitigation in Bundaberg. Option D – Bundaberg East levee Option D includes construction of a levee along the south bank of the river to reduce flooding in Bundaberg East. It would require construction of two floodgates (with one large floodgate for Saltwater Creek). Stage 2 of the Bundaberg flood protection study involves assessing 11 flood mitigation options, including those identified through consultation with the Bundaberg community in late 2015. Option overview Option D aims to protect Bundaberg East by constructing It would involve: a levee on the river bank and across the Saltwater Creek • Construction of a levee generally following Quay Street floodplain. The levee would protect the Bundaberg and a section heading north towards the mill. The East area from inundation from the Burnett River in the levee would be a combination of concrete wall and 1 1.5% AEP flood event. earth mound. • A flood gate across Saltwater Creek, which would be closed during times of Burnett River floods.

ROBERTSON 72 CAINOZOIC VOLCANIC ROCKS IN THE BUNDABERG - GIN GIN - PIALBA AREA, QUEENSLAND by A.D. Robertson ABSTRACT. Six periods of volcanic activity have been recognized during the Cainozoic Era in the southern portion of the Bundaberg and the northern part of the Maryborough 1:250 000 sheet areas. Most have been short lived (less than 15 to 2 Ma) and all are of limited areal extent. The composition of the lavas vary with successive eruptive periods. The Palaeocene to early Eocene volcanics (Gin Gin and Pemberton Grange Basalts) are dominantly theoleiitic in composition. By the mid-Miocene, alkali basalt was being extruded. Moderately to strongly undersaturated lavas (Tararan and Maroondan Melanephelinites) were extruded during the Pliocene, and by the Pleistocene the magma composition had changed back towards the alkali basalt — hawaiite field. The late Pleistocene Berrembea Basalt exhibits a range of composition from moderately undersaturated to lava having tholeiitic affinities. The Tararan Melanephelinite with its entrained upper mantle — lower crustal xenoliths implies magma generation in the upper mantle with a direct passage through the crust.
