    TOWNSVILLE METRO: UNLOCKING URBAN POTENTIAL THROUGH IMPROVING A KEY TRANSIT CORRIDOR Citation: Caldera, S., Desha, C., Reid, S., Yen, B., Shearer, H., Newman, P. and Mouritz, M. (2020) Townsville metro: unlocking potential through improving Townsville’s transit corridor, Report for Project 1.62 Sustainable Centres of Tomorrow: People and Place, Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre, Australia. Townsville Metro: Unlocking Potential through improving Townsville’s Transit Corridor Executive Summary Urban centres around the world are grappling with how to adapt and respond to the interconnected challenges of climate change, economic development and social inclusion. Fundamental to the solution is the ability of citizens to move around cities to access places of employment, education, healthcare and recreation. Design responses for new centres and urban renewal projects require collaboration and co- creation across governance levels and involving partnerships across multiple parties spanning designers and developers through to end-users. In 2016, the federal government launched City Deals as a new partnership mechanism to create productive and liveable cities, with Townsville being the first 15-year commitment involving planning, reform and investment for the city. The Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre (SBEnrc) is working with government and industry partners to enquire into procurement strategies and technologies that enable urban renewal in Australian cities. Through Project 1.62 – Sustainable Centres of Tomorrow, a place-making evaluation framework has been developed to inform project-specific business cases as they may arise through a City Deal or other ventures. Using the framework, trackless tram technology is being evaluated in several case study sites around Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Perth), as an emergent transport catalyst to ‘unlock the urban potential’ between and around urban ‘nodes’ (i.e.

  • The Way Forward at the QNI BHP Billiton Materials Handling Facility
    The Way Forward at the QNI BHP Billiton Materials Handling Facility. Townsville, North Queensland, Australia. Steve Carkeet Materials Handling Superintendent The Way Forward at the QNI BHP Billiton Materials Handling Facility. Townsville, North Queensland, Australia. By Steve Carkeet. Abstract. Ore Supply manages the purchase and supply of Nickel Ore as a feedstock to the Yabulu Refinery, near Townsville, Australia. Ore Supply is a unique and dynamic supply chain. Due to weather reliant mining and ship loading and unloading operations, requires specialised vessels. QNI Limited began importing nickel ore through the Port of Townsville in 1986 to supplement declining supplies from its Greenvale mine in North Queensland. Following the closure of the Greenvale mine in 1992 and the Brolga mine in 1995, QNI has relied solely on importing approximately 3.7 million tonnes per year of nickel ore from New Caledonia, Indonesia, and the Philippines to feed its refinery at Yabulu, 32 km north-west of the Port of Townsville. Strict compliance for overseas stockpiling and handling of Nickel Ore is monitored by AQIS. AQIS inspect the ore on arrival at Townsville and during unloading and loading into rail wagons where the ore is railed to Yabulu Refinery. Initially the ore was unloaded by a combination of ship’s cranes and a land based container crane equipped with grabs and dumped directly onto the wharf from where it was loaded by front end loaders into rail wagons and hauled to the Yabulu refinery. This method of unloading was not efficient and involved the double handling of ore. In addition, the stockpiling of ore on the wharf was environmentally unacceptable for two main reasons: • rainfall run-off could carry ore fines into the harbour, and • generation of dust from front end loader operations.

    AUSTRALIAN ROMANESQUE A History of Romanesque-Inspired Architecture in Australia by John W. East 2016 CONTENTS 1. Introduction . 1 2. The Romanesque Style . 4 3. Australian Romanesque: An Overview . 25 4. New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory . 52 5. Victoria . 92 6. Queensland . 122 7. Western Australia . 138 8. South Australia . 156 9. Tasmania . 170 Chapter 1: Introduction In Australia there are four Catholic cathedrals designed in the Romanesque style (Canberra, Newcastle, Port Pirie and Geraldton) and one Anglican cathedral (Parramatta). These buildings are significant in their local communities, but the numbers of people who visit them each year are minuscule when compared with the numbers visiting Australia's most famous Romanesque building, the large Sydney retail complex known as the Queen Victoria Building. God and Mammon, and the Romanesque serves them both. Do those who come to pray in the cathedrals, and those who come to shop in the galleries of the QVB, take much notice of the architecture? Probably not, and yet the Romanesque is a style of considerable character, with a history stretching back to Antiquity. It was never extensively used in Australia, but there are nonetheless hundreds of buildings in the Romanesque style still standing in Australia's towns and cities. Perhaps it is time to start looking more closely at these buildings? They will not disappoint. The heyday of the Australian Romanesque occurred in the fifty years between 1890 and 1940, and it was largely a brick-based style. As it happens, those years also marked the zenith of craft brickwork in Australia, because it was only in the late nineteenth century that Australia began to produce high-quality, durable bricks in a wide range of colours.

  • Chapter 21 Economics
    SECTION 21 Economic Development Section 21 Economic Development October 2016 21.0 Economic Development 21.1 Introduction The economic environment and the economic impact from the development of the Port Expansion Project (PEP) are discussed in Chapter B.19 (Economic Development) of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The economic assessment discussed the existing and future demand for Port capacity. The assessment defined and assessed a base case against the expected developed port to identify any positive or negative impacts during the construction and operation phases. The estimated economic benefit (in present values), of the Project was estimated to be of around $1,500 million. Socio-economic impacts were also assessed, including housing, commercial fishing, labour markets and employment. This section provides responses to submissions from public consultation and the results of new analysis that identifies the economic role of the Port in the region, and regional risks resulting from capacity constraints of the Port. This chapter section is not intended to represent a business case for the PEP, or an update on an existing business case for the PEP, however the information presented here is required under the Terms of Reference to provide context for economic impacts. Key matters raised within the submission process include: . justification of the need to expand the Port of Townsville in context of present berth utilisation . the role of the port in the economic stability, sustainability and development of North Queensland and the risks and flow-on effects of removing this capacity . consideration of using alternative ports to cater for increased demand, especially any future coal exports .
