The protection of fish habitats is one of the key elements of the Queensland Fisheries Strategy 2009-14, including through: protection of marine plants declaration and management of Fish Habitat Areas (FHAs) management of waterway barriers and fish passage restoration of disturbed habitats. The Marine Fish Habitat Unit, Fisheries Queensland, has identified a number of fish habitat management issues relevant to urban areas within coastal Queensland. Research directions have been developed to address and prioritise these issues within the framework of the Urban Fish Habitat Management (UFHM) Research Program. The Research Program identifies potential and completed research projects within the prioritised areas of fish habitat research. Typical projects that have been conducted are listed in Appendix 1 with summaries of several completed projects provided in Appendix 2. Key elements of the Marine Fish Habitat Research Strategic Plan 2000-2002 (Kirkwood 2000) and recommendations from recent reviews, e.g. Cappo et al. (1998), are incorporated to the research streams and priorities of the Program. Within the program the term ‘fish’ is used in its broadest sense, as defined in the Fisheries Act 1994 and includes finfish, crustaceans and molluscs. The UFHM Research Program builds on the following Habitat and Assessment Priorities: characterisation of critical habitats for juvenile stages of key fish species proportion of habitat requiring protection through declared Fish Habitat Areas to maintain stocks fish friendly designs to incorporate into development quantification of the ecological, economic and social values of re-creating and rehabilitating fish habitats. The UFHM Research Program provides a mechanism to link smaller projects to a larger research program. It provides a research framework and direction for individual projects to integrate available funds and project objectives and timing. It also brings an opportunity to link with the Marine Fish Habitat Communication Strategy in promoting research results to key stakeholders and in exchanging information across projects. Ideally, projects may be augmented through co-operation and collaboration with other research funding programs such as Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) and the Smart State PhD funding program, This approach highlights the links with industry, research providers and stakeholder organisations. Projects meeting the objectives of the UFHM Research Program may be eligible for support from Honours scholarships under the DEEDI (Fisheries Queensland) Marine Fish Habitat Scholarships Program, established in 2005 to enhance knowledge of these habitats for fisheries management. Eligible students may apply for scholarships. i Fisheries Act 1994 and its Regulation 2008. UFHM research program - Revised March 2010 1 The objectives and structure of the UFHM Research Program are described in this document, as are links to projects, existing and proposed. The UFHM Research Program is dynamic and is regularly updated in terms of both broad objectives and individual projects. Administration and delivery of the UFHM Research Program are undertaken by Fisheries Queensland such as directing research priorities, negotiating funding, facilitating formal agreements, budgets and acquittals, and promoting the Program and its outcomes. Where appropriate, consultation with key external researchers will occur to ensure successful project selection and outcomes. Projects may be linked to offsets required where fish habitat removal cannot be avoided. Offsets are negotiated through development application assessment and are included as a condition of a development approval issued under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 and Fisheries Act 1994. Monitoring projects are not suitable for offset funding. The UFHM Research Program falls within the government Q2 vision of a strong and green state and contributes to the DEEDI strategic outcome of environmentally and socially responsible development. It promotes ecosystem-based management of fisheries systems. UFHM Research Program objectives The Program’s objectives are to: 1. promote development and improvement of best practice ‘habitat-sensitive’ technologies that will minimise the effects of urban development on fish habitats and support protecting and managing fish habitats 2. improve understanding of the impacts of urban activities on fish habitats and fishery species 3. improve understanding of the relationships between fish species and fish habitats. 4. foster post-graduate fish habitat research project opportunities with Queensland Universities. 5. articulate research priorities for the development of research projects for Honours research by Queensland Universities participating in the DEEDI Marine Fish Habitat Scholarships Program, and specifically for those research projects to: address marine plants (including mangroves, seagrasses, saltmarsh vegetation) and/or declared Fish Habitat Areas (Fisheries Act) enhance knowledge of marine fish habitat functions and contributions to fisheries productivity in Queensland promote the importance of marine fish habitats to Queensland’s fisheries through publicly available documented research provide research information to assist DEEDI and/or other stakeholders to manage and maintain healthy marine fish habitats which sustain fisheries productivity in Queensland. The UFHM Research Program is integrated to address and direct research into impacts on fish habitats throughout Queensland. The focus has been on fish habitat management in urban areas but there is also scope for looking at less urbanised/impacted areas for comparison and in setting a baseline to assess future impacts. The program also invites

    Early History of the City of Redcliffe Chess Club. Chess in the wilderness of the Redcliffe Peninsula was hampered by the presence of Bramble Bay, the Pine River and mangrove swamps which cut off Redcliffe from civilized Brisbane where chess clubs abounded. There was a long way via Petrie that was subject to closure by flooding. To make the boat trip you boarded the Olivine at Sandgate or used smoke and mirrors to whistle up Charles and Martha Cutts to row you across. A Pleasant Outing for the Brisbane City Chess club 1922. “Another of those enjoyable little outings of the City Club took place on Monday at Seacamp, Redcliffe when the B Grade team were the guests of Mr Thomas Podmore.

    Government Hon I(ate Jones MP Member forAshgrove Ref CTS 13736/10 Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability Mr Neil Laurie The Clerk of the Parliament Parliament, House George Street BRISBANE QLD 4000 Dear Mr Laurie I refer to your letter of 4 August 2010 enclosing a copy of Petition No. 1458-10 lodged in the Queensland Legislative Assembly. The Petition requests that the House make the Hornibrook Bridge safe for public access and activity by any and all means possible, and to reconsider the decision to destroy this public icon and to use the funding set aside for the demolition to restore the bridge so that it will be preserved for future generations of Queenslanders. Whilst the Petition represents the feelings of concerned citizens, the future of the bridge has also been the subject of consideration for the Department of Environment and Resource Management. Studies carried out between 2004 and the end of 2005 identified the whole span to be in a severely deteriorated condition due to its age. As a part of these studies, options for the future use of the bridge were considered by an agency reference group that included the department. The feasibility of retaining the whole span for pedestrian and cycling use was given close consideration, however, it was determined that the structure was in such a deteriorated state it was not suitable for restoration. On 14 February 2007, an application was received by the department, under section 45 of the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, from the now Department of Transport and Main Roads, proposing the retention of the bridge portals and the reconstruction of a section of bridge at each end and the construction of a fishing platform while removing the majority of the span.

The project is being undertaken by Main Roads and its construction contractor, the Hull Albem Joint Venture, and is scheduled for completion in mid 2011 (weather permitting). ABOVE: ANOTHER NEW SPAN OF THE TED SMOUT MEMORIAL BRIDGE TAKES SHAPE IN BRAMBLE BAY. Current works Construction of the Ted Smout Memorial Bridge is continuing in Bramble Bay. Fifty-six of its 78 spans have now been built off the Brighton foreshore, and stretch almost 2 km across the bay towards Clontarf. These are being progressively fitted with concrete barriers, guard rails, and electrical conduit. Another five new spans are currently under construction, in various stages of completion. Construction of the new Pine River Fishing Platform is also continuing in Bramble Bay. The platform is being built on the seaward side of the Ted Smout Memorial Bridge, next to the main channel into the Pine River. A wheelchair-accessible walkway will connect the platform to a shared pedestrian / cycle path that runs along the length of the new bridge. Construction of new pedestrian / cycle underpasses is in progress at both ends of the Houghton Highway. The underpasses will run beneath the existing Houghton Highway bridge and the new Ted Smout Memorial Bridge. Construction update Development of the northern embankment of the new Ted Smout Memorial Bridge is in progress at Clontarf Point.

  • Connecting SEQ 2031 an Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland
    Connecting SEQ 2031 An Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland Tomorrow’s Queensland: strong, green, smart, healthy and fair Queensland AUSTRALIA south-east Queensland 1 Foreword Vision for a sustainable transport system As south-east Queensland's population continues to grow, we need a transport system that will foster our economic prosperity, sustainability and quality of life into the future. It is clear that road traffic cannot continue to grow at current rates without significant environmental and economic impacts on our communities. Connecting SEQ 2031 – An Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland is the Queensland Government's vision for meeting the transport challenge over the next 20 years. Its purpose is to provide a coherent guide to all levels of government in making transport policy and investment decisions. Land use planning and transport planning go hand in hand, so Connecting SEQ 2031 is designed to work in partnership with the South East Queensland Regional Plan 2009–2031 and the Queensland Government's new Queensland Infrastructure Plan. By planning for and managing growth within the existing urban footprint, we can create higher density communities and move people around more easily – whether by car, bus, train, ferry or by walking and cycling. To achieve this, our travel patterns need to fundamentally change by: • doubling the share of active transport (such as walking and cycling) from 10% to 20% of all trips • doubling the share of public transport from 7% to 14% of all trips • reducing the share of trips taken in private motor vehicles from 83% to 66%.
