  • Mary River Catchment Crawl 4 and 5 October 2016
    Mary River Catchment Crawl 4th and 5th October 2016 Catchment crawl participants: Brad Wedlock, Caitlin Mill, Tanzi Smith, Jess Dean, Shaun Fisher, Ian Mackay, Ruth Hutchison, Matt Tattam, Kevin Jackson Introduction During the Mary River Month celebrations, the Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee once again conducted its 8th annual Catchment Crawl on October 4th and 5th, 2016. The Catchment Crawls are designed to provide a snapshot of water quality along the Mary River. Water quality parameters are measured in an effort to gain insight to trends associated with cumulative effects and any other changes along the catchment area. On day one, testing begins in the upper reaches of the catchment, followed by a second day of testing in the lower reaches of the river and its tributaries, right out to the river mouth. A total of 14 freshwater sites were sampled along the main trunk of the Mary River, along with seven sites in several upper and lower tributaries for a total of 21 sites. The tributaries sampled include Six Mile Creek, Widgee Creek, Wide Bay Creek, Munna Creek and Tinana Creek. Sampling occurred across all three local government areas in the catchment. Figure 1 shows a map of all sites sampled during the 2016 catchment crawl. Creek junctions with the Mary River were targeted for sampling in order to gather information on the effects of tributaries flowing into the river. At each sampling site, a standard water test encompassing temperature, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, pH and turbidity was performed. In addition, a sample was taken at each site in accordance with DSITI protocol to be tested for nutrients and total suspended solids.

  • Munna Creek Catchment Waterwatch Network Report 2010
    Munna Creek Catchment Waterwatch Network Report 2010 - 2013 Report prepared by: Brad Wedlock & Steve Burgess MRCCC Catchment Officers October 2013 v2 This report prepared with the assistance of the Qld Government Everyone’s Environment Grant Disseminated August 2010 1 Introduction Many of the volunteers of the Munna Creek Waterwatch network have been collecting water quality data for more than 10 years which is providing the community, scientists and government agencies with a better understanding of the characteristics of the waterways in this part of the Mary River catchment. Without this committed volunteer effort we would not have access to this valuable information. This past year saw the boom-bust weather cycle continue. Between July 2012 and January 2013 the entire catchment experienced severe dry weather with virtually no rainfall recorded during this time with many creeks drying up. Then the late start to the wet season came with a bang on the Australia Day long weekend. The highest daily rainfall totals recorded at the peak of the rain event (27/1/13) in the Mary River catchment were located in the Munna Creek sub-catchment, with Brooweena recording 336mm and Marodian recording 347mm. This rainfall resulted in record levels of flooding in the upper and lower Munna Creek catchment. The Munna Creek Marodian gauging station broke the 1955 flood record by approximately ½ metre on the 27th January with a flood peak of 16.7m. The Wide Bay Creek catchment at Woolooga, broke the January 2011 flood peak record again by almost 1 metre with a flood peak of 13.87m.

Contact Person Dianne Neumann Principal’s foreword Introduction I welcome you to our School Annual Report for 2012. This report provides a brief snapshot of our school data for 2012 and I encourage you to visit us at Chatsworth School for a personalised tour of our school to see firsthand the great learning environment we have established at our school. In this report we will outline our progress in relation to our 4 Year Strategic Plan as a National Partnership School. The data in this report relates to systemic data collected on the student population and performance, the school curriculum offerings, the school workforce and the whole school community’s opinions of the school. We also take the opportunity to highlight and celebrate our improvements and successes. Our data continues to demonstrate improvement in the majority of areas and highlights areas to focus on in future strategic plans. Chatsworth State School is in the North Coast Region, situated on the Northern outskirts of Gympie with picturesque views of the hills and valleys of surrounding rural areas. It is approximately 5 kilometres north of Gympie on the Bruce Highway and provides educational and social opportunities for the local rural communities of Chatsworth, Corella, Sexton, Tamaree, Old Maryborough Road, Harvey Siding, Gunalda, Glenwood, Lower Wonga, Bells Bridge, Curra and Two Mile.
