Local Disaster Management Plan Local Disaster Management Plan Prepared by the Maranoa Regional Council Local Disaster Management Group Maranoa Regional Council – Local Disaster Management Plan V6. – October 2015 Preliminaries Foreword from Chair of LDMG The Maranoa Regional Disaster Management Plan has been prepared in accordance with the guiding principals of the Act (Section 4(a)(b)), to ensure there is a consistent approach to disaster management in the local area. The Plan will be an important tool for managing potential disasters and is a demonstrated commitment towards safety within the community. The Plan identifies potential hazards and risks in the area; identifies steps to mitigate these risks and includes strategies to enact should a hazard impact and cause a disaster. Depending on the scale of a disaster, the Local Disaster Management Group will ensure there is adequate coordination for the local area to reduce adverse impacts. The Plan also documents efforts to mitigate against identified hazards, which in turn enables funding to be provided for risk reduction actions. The ultimate benefit is to reduce the impact on the community following an event. The Local Disaster Management Group provides support to, and receives direction from, both the District Disaster Management Group and the State Disaster Management Group for events impacting on a larger scale. When State resources are inadequate or inappropriate, further support can be gained from the Australian Government through the Attorney Generals Department. I feel confident that this Local Disaster Management Plan provides an excellent disaster response and mitigation framework. The local community can feel secure in the fact that local emergency service agencies are not only dedicated but capable in their respective fields. _____________________________________ Signature

  • Toowoomba Railway Roll of Honour Board 1914-19
    Toowoomba Railway Roll of Honour Board 1914-19 Dedication This research is dedicate to all those who are recorded on the roll of honour board but especially to 425 Pte David McCarthy, 9th Bn, killed in action on 25th April 1915. Introduction This research was started after a visit to Toowoomba station in July 2015 and discovering that the 559 names on the impressive roll of honour board appeared not to have been identified or, if this work has been done, was not readily available. The aim of this initial research was to get basic details of those men listed; it is not intended to be a comprehensive account of the soldiers on the roll of honour board or railways in the Darling Downs region. Sources used included records held by the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, and the National Archives of Australia. Consequently, there may well be errors and conflicting detail; the entries for each man are headline information only – anyone wishing to drill deeper should consult sources such as the soldiers’ personal papers, newspapers, unit war diaries and histories etc. In some instances, the ‘identified’ soldier may prove to be incorrect but at this stage the most likely identification is listed; details generally have been used verbatim from sources. One hindrance was ‘occupation’ as many do not have an obvious railway trade; it is possible that some had other jobs in addition to their railway employment. A line was drawn under this work in late 2016 still with eighteen names unidentified despite trying various sources. Most of the other names were identified with a good degree of confidence but readers are invited to take this work and refine it further.
