A soil map at 1:100,000 scale accompanies the report. Soil and land attributes were assessed for physical constraints to urban development and classification of good quality agricultural land. A total of 32 soil types were identified. Good quality agricultural land (cropping and marginal cropping lands) comprised 13% of the study with land suitable for grazing covering 67% and mountainous non-agricultural lands covering 20%. Limitations to development include rocky soils, shallow soils, wet areas, reactive soils, salinity and soil erosion. Rocky soils covered 25% of the area and were confined to hilly and mountainous areas. Shallow soils covered 17% of the area were found in similar terrain and on a few units of undulating rises. Imperfectly drained and poorly drained soils covered 35% and 8% respectively and were dominated by sodic duplex soils and cracking clays. Reactive soils (soils with shrink/swell potential) occupied 43% of the area with 8% having cracking clay soils which make foundation construction for structures more expensive. Many soils had sodic subsoils which lead to poor structure and drainage and soils with severe sodicity (ESP >15%) was estimated to occur over 14% of the area. High sodicity levels in the subsoil can corrode metal footings and cause tunnel erosion and scouring around structures designed to control water flow. Salinity was not generally a problem however of the soil profiles tested (155 total), 46% had slight and 44% moderate subsoil salinity levels. Soil erosion was observed at many sites although most occurrences had resulted in minor scalds or sheet erosion. A total of 8% of the area was affected by severe erosion (sheet erosion, scalds or gullies). Much of the sheet erosion and resulting scalds are due to high grazing pressures and clearing of native vegetation on erosive soils. Theses areas will require exclusion of stock over the growing season and low grazing pressures for the remained of the year to allow re-establishment of pastures and an increase in grass basal area. Gully erosion was limited and confined to footslopes and hillslopes mainly where earthworks associated with roads and tracks had concentrated surface water flow. Stream bank erosion was evident in areas where tree clearing had occurred across drainage lines and any further clearing should be discouraged. Erosion potential following disturbance (tree clearing and exposed topsoil) was estimated from landform, soil type and soil dispersion data with 32% of the area with moderate potential and 25% severe. Soils unsuitable for septic systems (trench) covered 34% of the study with the majority of this area severely limited by steep and rocky slopes. Potential for agricultural development is limited by availability of water for irrigation. Potential exists for furrow and spray irrigation along Major and Double barrel creeks and for trickle irrigation on the sandy footslopes and fans of Mt. Elliot. Limited water harvesting is carried out on Major creek and expansion of agricultural activities would require augmentation of supplies from the Burdekin irrigation scheme. Urban development is currently restricted to Woodstock. Future urban development is not likely to occur however there is a demand for rural/residential land in the Townsville region. This development has occurred at Woodstock, Major Creek and Calcium and along the Woodstock-Giru road and the Flinders highway between Woodstock and Calcium. Any future development should be directed away from class A and B agricultural land, alluvial landscapes and the footslopes of Mt Elliot. 1 1. Introduction The cities of Townsville and Thuringowa have experienced rapid population growth for the last 10 years with increasing demands placed on existing infrastructure to meet the growing demands from urban, rural\ residential and industrial land uses. The urban and industrial development pressures of the Townsille area have led to requests for land resource information to determine physical constraints to urban development and classification of good quality agricultural land. The study area lies to the south of Townsville (Figure 1) and covers 66,000 ha in the Major Creek area, north Queensland. Prior to March 1994 the area was administered by the city of Thuringowa and is currently administered by both Townsville City and Burdekin Shire Councils after an external boundary review recommended by the Local Government Commissioner.

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.

  • LAND COURT BRISBANE 2 December
    [1997] QLC 189 LAND COURT BRISBANE 2 December 1997 Re: Determination of Compensation - Resumption for Future Road Requirement purposes under the provisions of the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 and the Transport Infrastructure (Roads) Act 1991 - Ref. A96-24. Parkside Development Pty Ltd v. Director-General, Department of Transport (now Department of Main Roads) (Hearing at Townsville) J U D G M E N T By agreement under the provisions of Section 15 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1967, the respondent Director-General, Department of Transport, resumed on 25 March 1994, certain lands with an aggregate area of 9.2686 hectares from the claimant Parkside Development Pty Ltd (Parkside) in the County of Elphinstone, Parishes of Ross and Coonambelah, for Future Road Requirement purposes. The real property descriptions and areas of the lands resumed are: (a)an area of 3.875 hectares being the whole of Lot 101 on Plan 860270 contained in Certificate of Title Volume N1504, Folio 244; (b)an area of 8,966 square metres being the whole of Lot 102 on Plan 860270 contained in Certificate of Title Volume N1504, Folio 244; and (c)an area of 4.497 hectares being the whole of Lot 12 on Plan 860271 contained in Certificate of Title Volume N788, Folio 103. While the Proclamation describes the resumed parcels as separately surveyed lots, they are in reality part of two larger parcels of land owned at Proclamation date by Parkside and which were then described as Lot 2 on RP 724190, Parish of Ross, containing an area of 22.5671 hectares and the balance of Lot 100 on RP 812595, Parish of Ross, containing an area of 61.8816 hectares.
