In 2017, rural exports contributed over $9 billion to the Queensland economy despite continued drought conditions across the state. Industry growth opportunities remain significant with the forecast rise in global food demand and increased affluence in emerging economies supporting a shift to diets higher in protein. A solid reputation for safe, quality food and fibre and reliable supply is key to maintaining, securing and growing markets. Long-term sector vibrancy depends on the sustainable use of natural resources and the uptake and practical application of new technologies. A major challenge is to identify strategies that boost agricultural productivity and profitability whilst protecting and sharing access to these community resources. Service reforms outlined in the Queensland Sustainable Fisheries Strategy 2017-2027 and the Queensland Biosecurity Strategy 2018-2023 are changing the way the department delivers these services and partners with industry and the community on challenging mutual concerns. A long-term policy on the future of timber production in state-owned forests is under development. These reforms underpin Queensland’s reputation and economic success by creating the conditions for the sustainability, safety, quality and reliability of our food and fibre products. They will also ensure Queenslanders’ access to healthy food. The Agriculture and Food Research, Development and Extension 10-Year Roadmap and Action Plan reaffirms the state’s leadership in tropical and sub- tropical agricultural research by supporting innovative collaboration, partnerships and world-class facilities. DAF is committed to contributing to the Queensland Government’s objectives for the community to: Create jobs in a strong economy DAF will implement the Government’s Driving Queensland Agriculture and Rural Jobs Growth policy to grow agricultural export capacity and enhance innovation throughout the supply chain. The Rural Economic Development Grants program further builds on the department's work with rural communities. Identifying economic development opportunities and attracting investment will strengthen existing businesses, open up new business opportunities, and create jobs in rural and regional Queensland. Continued support will be provided for the successful Rural Jobs and Skill Alliance and to extend the Queensland Agricultural Workforce Network ensuring individuals and businesses have the skills they need to adapt to technology and market changes. Keep Queenslanders healthy Investment in vital research, development and extension will continue to support traditional agricultural sectors as well as encourage diversification into new and emerging products. This work underpins the ability of rural communities to adapt to changes in climate and supply fresh food and value-added products. Prolonged drought conditions, high farm debt levels and reduced spending negatively impact rural communities. Under the whole-of-government Drought Assistance Package up to $34.6 million is centrally held and will be allocated to affected communities in 2018-19 (up to $20 million allocated to the Drought Relief Assistance Scheme). The Queensland Drought and Climate Adaptation Program will continue to improve industry capacity to manage and prepare for drought, new climate forecasting information and decision-support tools specifically tailored for Queensland. DAF will strengthen cross government agency partnerships including with the Queensland Rural Industry Development Authority, to promote sustainability, support the physical and mental well-being of individuals, and build community resilience. Protect the Great Barrier Reef DAF’s reef program plays a significant role in delivering on improved reef water quality targets and the fisheries actions outlined in the Reef 2050 Long Term Sustainability Plan. DAF continues to focus on the research and development of improved farm management practices, decision making tools for producers, and effective weed control to minimise the impact of agriculture on the reef. Partnering with industry, natural resource management groups and local councils, the department aims to increase uptake of improved management practices. Major fisheries reform is also occurring with 16 more compliance officers in the Great Barrier Reef region, additional monitoring, harvest strategies for all fisheries and vessel tracking on all crab, net and line boats by the end of 2018. Be a responsive Government DAF delivers an extensive network of regional services to support rural economic development, improved farm practices and compliance with biosecurity and fisheries regulations. Stronger and more inclusive partnerships underpin DAF’s service reforms to build shared ownership and more effective intervention strategies. There is also a focus on digital solutions to improve e-business transactions and make it easier to understand and comply with rules. 2018-19 Queensland State Budget - Service Delivery Statements - Department of Agriculture and Fisheries 3 Service performance Agriculture Service area objective To lift the productivity of Queensland's food and fibre businesses.

    Etheridge Shire Council Inform Newsletter www.etheridge.qld.gov.au Edition 1, January 2020 The Australia Day Awards Winners Mrs Terry Ann Cranwell Chase Tansey Kristy Bethel Alana Young Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour to Georgetown MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR A hearty hi to all…. Well the New Year is well and truly in full swing and I can’t believe the first month is nearly over! I trust you all enjoyed your break (if you got one that is!) and wish all of you all the best in this New Year. It is fantastic to see some rainfall within the Shire after months of enduring the impressive heat. It has been welcomed by all and especially those who battled fires during November and December last year and the early part of January. Council has submitted an application to the Minister for Fire & Emergency Services seeking and requesting a declaration for the Etheridge Shire under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) for Category B & C assistance for the recent fires. A quick update on the Charleston Dam in regards to the wet season. The contractors were successful in completing the keyway preparation works (clay core) within the main waterway, also constructing a main embankment approx. 8m high then constructing a temporary spillway on the left hand side looking downstream. This temporary spillway has been constructed from compacted general fill, geofabric then rock armored. This has been designed to divert the water during the wet season. Construction will recommence after the wet season around the beginning of April. ESC crews are all back at work, continuing the restoration roadworks throughout our shire.
