  • Regional Priorities for 2013 Federal Election
    Regional Priorities for 2013 Federal Election 30 Year Infrastructure Plan for Tropical North Queensland Greater coordination of local, state and federal funding of infrastructure through a more strategic approach will provide the framework for the prioritisation and sequencing of infrastructure, including transportation (roads, rail, air and ports), water and sewerage, energy, telecommunications and social infrastructure. This will help to ensure infrastructure is provided where and when it is needed most, to address a clear and identified need. An analysis of existing infrastructure needs has identified a range of projects across Tropical North Queensland as catalytic regional infrastructure which requires government support, including: Sea Ports Yarrabah Wharf and Cruise Ship terminal project Cairns Wharf/Crane Extension Port of Karumba Archer Point barge landing facility (as part of Archer Point development project) Mourilyan Harbour Roads Hann Highway and associated gulf roads Kuranda Range Road Peninsula Development Road Palmerston Highway/ Mourilyan Access Airports Lockhart River Airport Horn Island Airport Mareeba Airport Expansion Irrigated Agriculture and Water for the Future Gilbert and Flinders Rivers catchments Regional Water Supply assessment and Nullinga Dam Charleston Lake Energy Tully Millstream Hydro-electric project Archer Point Wind Farm (as part of Archer Point development project) Approval support for Mt Emerald and Mt Surprise Projects Waste to Energy viability assessment in sugar towns Resources

  • New Air Conditioning Design Temperatures for Queensland
    New air-conditioning design temperatures for Queensland, Australia by Eric Peterson¹, Nev Williams¹, Dale Gilbert¹, Klaus Bremhorst² ¹Thermal Comfort Initiative of Queensland Department of Public Works, Brisbane ²Professor of Mechanical Engineering, the University of Queensland, St Lucia Abstract : This paper presents results of a detailed analysis of meteorological data to determine air conditioning design temperatures dry bulb and wet bulb for hundreds of locations throughout Queensland, using the tenth-highest daily maximum observed per year. This is a modification of the AIRAH 1997 method that uses only 3PM records of temperature. In this paper we ask the reader to consider Australian Bureau of Meteorology official “climate summaries” as a benchmark upon which to compare various previously published comfort design temperatures, as well as the new design temperatures proposed in the present paper. We see some possible signals from climate change, but firstly we should apply all available historical data to establish outdoor design temperatures that will ensure that cooling plant are correctly sized in the near future. In a case- studies of Brisbane, we find that inner city temperatures are rising, that airport temperatures are not, and that suburban variability is substantially important.

  • Torres Local Disaster Management Plan
    Torres Strait Local Disaster Management Plan Prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Disaster Management Act 2003 QLD. Approved on: 7 June 2016 Torres Strait Disaster Management Plan Page 1 of 81 Torres Strait Disaster Management Plan Page 2 of 81 FOREWORD Mayor Vonda Malone Mayor Fred Gela Firstly, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the Torres Strait Islands, in which the Torres Shire Council and Torres Strait Island Regional Council administers Local Government responsibilities. Despite its beautiful surrounds, the Torres Strait is vulnerable to disaster events, both natural and man made. When an event occurs, local government has primary responsibility for managing the impacts within its boundaries. It is therefore important to have joint effective and coordinated disaster management arrangements in place to ensure that our disaster management systems are capable of addressing the response and recovery for an event. This Plan has been developed by the Torres Strait Local Disaster Management Group on behalf of the Torres Shire Council and Torres Strait Island Regional Council. This Plan sets out the legislated arrangements required under the Queensland Disaster Management Act 2003 and outlines the disaster management system and specifying agreed roles and responsibilities. It also describes how the disaster management system works during an event. The focus of the Plan is on an ‘all-hazards’ approach, which minimises impacts on disaster-affected communities by ensuring a joint coordinated effort by all levels of government and non-government organisations with responsibilities or capabilities in disaster management. The Plan is risk-based that will be kept up to date to match changes in legislation or in the region’s risk profile, and to reflect knowledge gained from disaster events in the Region and elsewhere.
