Wheatbelt East Regional Organisation of Councils CHARTERS TOWERS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND MINES & CHARTERS TOWERS REGIONAL COUNCIL June 2014 Report from EDA Regional and Remote Areas Training Program Charters Towers Queensland Report of the Economic Development Australia (EDA) Regional and Remote Areas Training Program Held in Charters Towers, Queensland, 9 - 11 May 2014 Charters Towers May 2014 Background The Charters Towers Regional Council (CTRC) of Queensland is part of the Regional Development Australia Townsville and North West Queensland region. CTRC is classed as being in the semi-arid tropical region of North Queensland. The Charters Towers region has a strong history associated with growing the wealth of the nation through the gold fields of the late 1800’s – early 1900’s. The economy of the region has been shaped by proven competitive strengths in mining, agriculture, education and tourism. The main town is Charters Towers (known locally as ‘The World’) and there are several smaller communities including Greenvale, Pentland, Hervey Range, Ravenswood and Homestead. The indigenous community is the Kudjala people. Charters Towers is the retail and service centre with engineering and transport sectors that support the mining and agricultural industry. The CTRC covers an area in excess of 68,366 square kilometres and has a population of approximately 12,500 people. The CTRC was established in 2008 and was preceded by two previous local government areas which dated back to the 1870s (City of Charters Towers and the Shire of Dalrymple). Charters Towers is 133 Kilometres west of Townsville and 772 kilometres east of Mount Isa within a broader regional population base of Northern Queensland of around 460,000 people, which is one of the fastest growing non metropolitan regions of Australia. This is not replicated in Charters Towers who have seen only a slight growth of 0.1 – 0.3 percent in their population over recent years. The Australian Government is currently placing a major focus on Northern Australia and the Queensland Government has a regionalisation population target. In 2008 the CTRC undertook a Charters Towers Economic Development Plan Situation Analysis which led to the 2009 Economic Development Plan that was updated into the Charters Towers Region Economic Development Plan 2012-2017. The CTRC is a member of Townsville Enterprise Limited (TEL) which is the Regional Tourism Organisation and also the Regional Economic Development Organisation. TEL are currently finalising the Townsville North Queensland Tourism Destination Plan and a regional Tourism Brand. The CTRC is also a member of the Regional Economic Development sub-committee of the Regional Organisation of Councils (RED-ROC) who in April 2014 completed the NQ2031 North Queensland Regional Economic Development Plan 2014-2031. The Charters Towers Chamber of Commerce & Mines Inc. (CTCCM) is the peak membership based organisation for businesses in the CTRC. CTCCM is the leading advocate for the business community to raise and deal with the concerns of members and to encourage businesses to increase their levels of knowledge, training and performance. Along with its lobbying role to all levels of government over the years the Chamber has played a lead role in many initiatives including developing the Economic Development Plan and Business Retention and Expansion Project. The CTCCM & CTRC together, organised for Economic Development Australia (EDA) members June Powell, Ling Geh and Simon Millcock to meet with the community and undertake the Regional and Remote Area Economic Development Training Program (RRATP) developed by EDA. The program was supported and promoted by both the Chamber and the Council and is designed to match communities interested in progressing their economy with economic development professionals who deliver the training. The program was delivered Fri 9 - Sun 11 May 2014. The CTRC provided the funding to support the EDA members attendance and their time was provide pro-bono. Page 3 Charters Towers May 2014 North Queensland Regional Economic and Infrastructure 2031 Plan The Regional Economic Development sub-committee of the North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils has developed a North Queensland Economic and Infrastructure Framework 2014 (EIF) and the North Queensland Economic Development Plan 2014 to 2031 (NQ2031). These documents address the local governments of Townsville, Hinchinbrook, Palm Island, Charters Towers and Burdekin. These documents identify the key economic drivers and opportunities and projects for the region to support the growth of the region to 2031.

It was great to see both the Shire Mayor Frank Beveridge and Acting CEO Ramon Jayo and several elected members join during the program and many thanks also to those community members who contributed so generously of their time and expertise. The generous hospitality of both the Council and Chamber and the community ensured there was very genuine interest and involvement from a number of highly committed members from the community and this made the process extremely worthwhile. Attendees: There was a broad range of experiences around the room and it was noted that there was a good mix of people who have been long term residents / families of the region and those who had moved into set up business or gain employment. There was great goodwill amongst all who attended and a lot of capability within their knowledge base that made the process work smoothly. Refer to attachment ‘A’ for the list of attendees.

I would like to start this public hearing for the Productivity Commission’s inquiry into the impacts of native vegetation and biodiversity controls. My name is Neil Byron. I’m the presiding commissioner for this inquiry, and my colleague is Prof Warren Musgrave who is also a commissioner. You’re probably here because you’re aware of the terms of reference, so I won’t attempt to summarise all that. But I would like to say that we have spoken to organisations, land-holders, environmental groups, state and Commonwealth agencies, all sorts of people with an interest in the issues. We’ve received over a hundred submissions from all around Australia so far. We held formal public hearings like this in Brisbane last Monday. Next week we’re in Canberra, Perth and Adelaide and it sort of goes on after that. The purpose of these inquiries is to provide an opportunity for interested parties to formally put on the record their views and their evidence on the matters under examination. We’re working towards producing a draft report for public comment that will go out in probably the beginning of December.

  • Granites of North Queensland D.C
    The Ishihara Symposium: Granites and Associated Metallogenesis GRANITES OF NORTH QUEENSLAND D.C. Champion1 & R.J. Bultitude2 1Geoscience Australia, GPO Box 378, Canberra, ACT, 2601. 2Geological Survey of Queensland, 80 Meiers Road, Indooroopilly, 4068. Introduction North Queensland comprises Palaeoproterozoic to Mesoproterozoic basement (Etheridge, Savannah, Croydon1) provinces structurally overlain by successively younger components including Neoproterozoic-Cambrian (Iron Range, Cape River, Barnard), Cambrian- Ordovician (Thalanga) and Ordovician to Carboniferous (Broken River, Hodgkinson) provinces (Figs 1, 2). The region has been the site of long lived, episodic, widespread and voluminous felsic I-, S- and rarer A-type magmatism, spanning some 1200 Ma. Major episodes of granite formation include the Mesoproterozoic (ca 1550 Ma), the Cambrian to Ordovician (ca 480-460 Ma) Macrossan Igneous Province, the Silurian to Devonian (ca 430- 380 Ma) Pama Igneous Province, and the Carboniferous to Permian (ca 330-260 Ma) Kennedy Igneous Province (Table 1; Fig. 2). Mesoproterozoic granites Proterozoic granites in north Queensland are dominated by the Mesoproterozoic granites of the Georgetown region (Forsayth Subprovince (Etheridge Province) and Croydon Province; Fig. 2). These differ markedly from the majority of Proterozoic granites elsewhere within Australia, being dominated by S-type granites, and also comprising Sr-undepleted, Y-depleted sodic I-type granites. The Georgetown region provides a cross-section through the crust, showing that the S-type granites range from small migmatitic bodies at higher metamorphic grades (middle-upper amphibolite) to large plutons at similar and lower metamorphic grades (Bain et al., 1997). Their potassic, LILE-, LREE-, Th- and U-enriched nature coupled with Nd-Sr isotopic data show that they were largely derived from gneissic metasediments similar to those outcropping in the region.
