  • Desired Environmental Outcomes
    CairnsPlan – March 2009 Chapter 2 Desired Environmental Outcomes 2.1 Overview The Desired Environmental Outcomes (DEOs) are the foundation of the CairnsPlan. The DEOs are the link between the purpose of the Integrated Planning Act of seeking to achieve ecological sustainability and the measures of the CairnsPlan. The DEOs: • Represent what is sought to be achieved through the CairnsPlan; • Relate to the environment that is defined broadly in the Integrated Planning Act to cover matters and conditions relating to the natural, built and human environments; and • Are expressions of the end states rather than means to ends. The DEOs relate to the whole of the City. Each DEO is sought to be achieved to the extent practicable having regard to each of the other DEOs. The DEOs are grouped under the topics reflecting the three strands of ecological sustainability identified by the Integrated Planning Act: • Ecological processes and natural systems; • Economic development; and • Cultural, economic, physical and social wellbeing of people and communities. However, there are close interrelationships between the DEOs. In a number of cases, elements of the subject of a DEO are mapped to illustrate the overarching planning strategies associated with the DEO. In these cases, the identified elements of the mapping are part of the DEO. Important issues associated with the DEOs are identified in the short discussion which follows each DEO. 2-1 CairnsPlan – March 2009 2-2 CairnsPlan – March 2009 2.2. Ecological Processes and Natural Systems 2.2.1 Ecological Processes and Biodiversity The biodiversity and nature conservation values of the marine, terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems within the City are conserved and enhanced.

Deforestation and Sugar Cane Growing in Eastern Australia, 1860–1995 PETER GRIGGS School of Earth and Environmental Sciences James Cook University – Cairns Campus PO Box 6811 Cairns Queensland, Australia 4870 Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Deforestation associated with the cultivation of sugar cane in the coastal lands of Eastern Australia commenced in the 1860s. Beyond the initial large-scale clearing of the native vegetation to create arable land, the growing of sugar cane placed other demands upon the native forests. The vegetation was cleared to provide timber for buildings, railway sleepers, to supply the firewood for the sugar mill boilers and in some instances to supply the timber used in at least half a dozen Australian sugar mills that were adapted to manufacture lumber in the non-crushing season. Newspapers descriptions, archival records and scientific reports are used to reconstruct the methods adopted to clear the forests and the speed and extent of the loss of forests in the sugar cane growing lands of Eastern Australia.

  • EPILOGUE THIS THESIS Began by Examining the Colonial Experiences
    459 EPILOGUE THIS THESIS began by examining the colonial experiences of Pacific [sland migrallts \.Jho c':lIne to Qucensland as indentured lahourers, particularly those \."ho broke the pat tern of circular migration by remaining in Australia. [11 tl1cir new COllntry, tile migrants broadened their world-view and built up new loyalties. By the late l890s and early 1900s, a small proportion of tile migrants regarded themselves as permanent residents and displayed this attitude in various economic and social activities. In the mid-1900s many of these people were faced with deportation, but, as a result of their own protests and those of sympathetic Europeans, the req lIi rCfficn ts for exemp tion \.JC re liberalized. Even so, very few 0 f the migrants - perllaps two to two and a halE thousand - remained in Australia after 1908, and a considerable proportion of these did so illegally. The expectation amongst European contemporaries was ttlat this small population, \.,1ith a heavy imbalance to\.,1ards single, ageing men, would not survive, physical.Ly or culturally. 'l11ere were, however, other differences bet\.Jeen the demographic patterns of Pacific Islanders and those of tile wider community. A high rate of natural increase and a declining mortality rate helped to account for the survival of a separate Pacific lslander population. 11,i5 was clearly evident by 1940. In the years betl,'een 1908 and 19 1,0, the Islander population in North Queensland was largely a closed one: there \.,13S some augmentation of the population by migration from otller parts of Queensland, but few Islanders moved out of the region.

  • Conserving the Sugar Legacy of Far North Queensland
    Wilis - Remembering the cane Remembering the cane: conserving the sugar legacy of far north Queensland Joanna Wills Far north Queensland's post-contact history and identity are entrenched in the story of sugar. The industry's influence remains evident in the milling towns and in the cane fields along the tropical coastal plains. Although it has developed and changed over time, the sugar industry is still central to the region's economy, an anchor that provides communities with livelihoods and continuity. From downtime to harvest, and crushing to transport, the sugar season guides the region's rhythms of life and still shapes local identity. Cultural traditions of the sugar migrants permeate the region and breathe life into the distrfct. Weatherboard farmhouses and outbuildings stand like sentinels in the cane fields around Tully, Innisfail, Babinda and Mossman. Old canecutters barracks are still visible in the landscape, rough resting places that were once home to a transient, seasonal workforce. Tram tracks still crisscross fields and townships despite the development of road transport and bulk sugar refineries. And sugar mills, almost Dickensian in their appearance, punctuate the landscape with chimney stacks belching smoke plumes of cloying, syrupy aroma. This visible link between the past and the present is a veritable feast for cultural heritage workers, and provides an opportunity to document, manage, conserve and interpret the sugar legacy of far north Queensland before it is lost. Understanding how the heritage industry chooses to do this, how it currently conserves, promotes and interprets this sugar history, and how it could conserve, promote and interpret it, is critical for remembering and recognising how sugar has shaped the region's development.
