There was a long way via Petrie that was subject to closure by flooding. To make the boat trip you boarded the Olivine at Sandgate or used smoke and mirrors to whistle up Charles and Martha Cutts to row you across.

Agric (Deventer) Queensland Department of Primary Industries October 1973. The material in this publication is intended for government and institutional use only, and is not to be used in any court of law. 11 FOREWORD A detailed knowledge and understanding of the environment and the pressures its many facets may exert are fundamental to those who work to improve agriculture, or to conserve or develop the rural environment. A vast amount of information is accumulating concerning the physical resources and the farming and social systems as they exist in the state of Queensland. This information is coming from a number of sources and references and is scattered through numerous publications and unpublished reports. Shire Handbooks, the first of which was published in February 1969, are an attempt to collate under one cover relevant information and references which will be helpful to the extension officer, the research and survey officer or those who are interested in industry or regional planning or in reconstruction. A copy of each shire handbook is held for reference in each Division and in each Branch of the Department of Primary Industries in Brisbane. In addition Agriculture Branch holds at its Head Office and in each of its country centres, Shire Handbooks, Regional Technical Handbooks (notes on technical matters relevant to certain agricultural industries in the Shire) and monthly and annual reports which are a continuing record of the progress and problems in agriculture.

Has his attention been drawn to what is apparently a deliberately misleading opinion in the 'Telegraph' of Tuesday, November 8, which attempts to place the responsibility for the seven pence increase in meat prices in Brisbane on the control over the supply of meat in the metropolitan area by the Brisbane Abattoir?"

  • IPA Planning Scheme
    Torres Shire Council IPA Planning Scheme 17 July 2007 Adoption The local government for Torres Shire adopted this planning scheme on 17 July 2007. Commencement The planning scheme took effect on 17 July 2007. State planning policies The Minister for Local Government, Planning, Sport and Recreation has identified the following State planning policies as having been appropriately reflected in the planning scheme: SPP 1/92: Development and the Conservation of Agricultural Land: SPP 1/03: Mitigating the Adverse Impacts of Flood, Bushfire and Landslide; and SPP 2/02: Planning and Managing Development involving Acid Sulfate Soils. Integrated Planning Act 1997, section 6.1.54 (Provisions applying for State-controlled roads): The Minister for Local Government and Planning has given notice that Integrated Planning Act 1997, section 6.1.54 applies to the planning scheme. Accordingly, item 9 in Integrated Planning Regulation, schedule 2 applies for a referral for development that is not contiguous to a State-controlled road. The Planning Scheme and Native Title Issues – An Explanatory Note Torres Shire is unique among Queensland Local Government councils in that: Most of its population resides on islands off the northern tip of mainland Queensland; and It is the most northerly Australian local government and is geographically close to mainland Papua New Guinea; and Its population comprises primarily Indigenous Torres Strait Islanders and Aborigines and approximately 80% of the Shire’s land is subject to Native Title grant/claims. This planning scheme has been prepared under the Queensland Integrated Planning Act (IPA) to control development in the Shire. Areas that are not within the jurisdiction of the Council of the Shire of Torres are not affected by the provisions of the planning scheme.
