2014 Update of the SEQ NRM Plan: Moreton Bay Region Incorporating Pumicestone and Pine Catchments Item: 2014 Update of the SEQ NRM Plan – Moreton Bay Region Date: Last updated 11 November 2014 2014 Update of the SEQ NRM Plan: Moreton Bay Region incorporating Pumicestone and Pine Catchments How can the SEQ NRM Plan support the Community’s Vision? Supporting Document 7 for the 2014 Update of the SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan Note regards State Government Planning Policy: The Queensland Government is currently undertaking a review of the SEQ Regional Plan 2009. Whilst this review has yet to be finalised, the government has made it clear that the “new generation” statutory regional plans focus on the particular State Planning Policy issues that require a regionally-specific policy direction for each region. This quite focused approach to statutory regional plans compares to the broader content in previous (and the current) SEQ Regional Plan. The SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan has therefore been prepared to be consistent with the State Planning Policy.

    ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay.

  • Australia's Sunbelt Migration: the Recent Growth of Brisbane and the Moreton Bay Region
    Australia's Sunbelt Migration: The Recent Growth of Brisbane and The Moreton Bay Region Patrick Mullins INTRODUCTION The most significant contemporary change in Australian regional development has been the growth of the relatively underdeveloped states of Queensland and Western Australia, on the one hand, and the relative decline "of the spatial core of Australian capitalism, New South Wales and Victoria, on the other. The former are developing as a result of inflows of foreign capital for the exploitation and export of mineral reserves, while the ebb in New South Wales and victoria is a consequence of the decline in the early 1970s of Australia's manufacturing industry. Yet the development of Queensland and Western Australia is not simply a consequence of mineral expropriation since additional processes have operated. It is the pur­ pose of this paper to analyse the other major element involved in the" expansion" of one of these two marginal states: Queensland. The second and largely independent impetus to Queensland's development revolves around the rapid population growth of the dominant southeastern corner of the state; that is, the Moreton Region, comprising mainly metropolitan Brisbane, as well as the Gold Coast, 60 kilometres south, and the towns of the Sunshine Coast stretch­ ing 100 kilometres north. The rate of population growth in the Moreton Region during the 1960s and 1970s has been faster than Queensland and Australia as a whole, and Brisbane has grown faster over the same period than almost all major metropolitan centres. Other parts of the region, particularly the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast towns of Caloundra and Maroochydore/Mooloolaba, have experienced even faster growth, with the Gold Coast, for instance, doubling its population between 1954 and 1966 and then again, to over 100,000, between 1966 and 1976.

  • Suburb Snapshot KALLANGUR QLD 4053
    Suburb Snapshot KALLANGUR QLD 4053 The suburb of Kallangur is set within the Moreton Bay Region of Queensland and is an urban / semi-urban area 24 km north of Brisbane. Kallangur is bounded by the locality of Narangba in the north, the Bruce Highway in the east, Fresh Water Creek, Bunbury Street, Duffield Road, the suburb of Murrumba Downs and Bickle Road in the east, the North Pine River in the south and the railway line in the west. The population in this area has continued to increase and recent development has been in response to the general housing demand in the northern growth corridor. Locals say it is a beautiful suburb, very community minded with fetes and community events on all year round. Schools are within walking distance of the newest estates and there are many corner shops and food outlets and a small shopping centre is in the town centre. There are various health care and pet care facilities. Large shopping centres are serviced by a good public transport system with rail and buses. They say their suburb is improving all the time and is a good, affordable suburb which is great for families. 1 | P a g e Transport The Region is served by the Bruce Highway, the D'Aguilar Highway and the Brisbane-Caboolture railway line making it simple to commute to the Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast or Gold Coast. Residents of Kallangur will have even more transport options for work and recreation. The Kallangur Bypass, also referred to as the Petrie to Mango Hill transport corridor, is a proposed infrastructure project to alleviate traffic congestion in this area.

Agric (Deventer) Queensland Department of Primary Industries October 1973. The material in this publication is intended for government and institutional use only, and is not to be used in any court of law. 11 FOREWORD A detailed knowledge and understanding of the environment and the pressures its many facets may exert are fundamental to those who work to improve agriculture, or to conserve or develop the rural environment. A vast amount of information is accumulating concerning the physical resources and the farming and social systems as they exist in the state of Queensland. This information is coming from a number of sources and references and is scattered through numerous publications and unpublished reports. Shire Handbooks, the first of which was published in February 1969, are an attempt to collate under one cover relevant information and references which will be helpful to the extension officer, the research and survey officer or those who are interested in industry or regional planning or in reconstruction. A copy of each shire handbook is held for reference in each Division and in each Branch of the Department of Primary Industries in Brisbane. In addition Agriculture Branch holds at its Head Office and in each of its country centres, Shire Handbooks, Regional Technical Handbooks (notes on technical matters relevant to certain agricultural industries in the Shire) and monthly and annual reports which are a continuing record of the progress and problems in agriculture.

  • There Has Been an Italian Presence in the Riverland Since
    1 Building blocks of settlement: Italians in the Riverland, South Australia By Sara King and Desmond O’Connor The Riverland region is situated approximately 200 km. north-east of Adelaide and consists of a strip of land on either side of the River Murray from the South Australian-Victorian border westwards to the town of Morgan. Covering more than 20,000 sq. km., it encompasses the seven local government areas of Barmera, Berri, Loxton, Morgan, Paringa, Renmark and Waikerie.1 The region was first identified as an area of primary production in 1887 when two Canadian brothers, George and William Chaffey, were granted a licence to occupy 101,700 hectares of land at Renmark in order to establish an irrigated horticultural scheme. By 1900 a prosperous settlement had developed in the area for the production of vines and fruit, and during the 1890s Depression other ‘village settlements’ were established down river by the South Australian Government to provide work for the city-based unemployed.2 During the years between the foundation of the villages and the First World War there was intense settlement, especially around Waikerie, Loxton, Berri and Barmera, as the area was opened up and increased in value.3 After World War 1, the SA Government made available new irrigation blocks at Renmark and other localities in the Riverland area to assist the resettlement of more than a thousand returned soldiers. A similar scheme operated in New South Wales, where returned servicemen were offered blocks in Leeton and Griffith, in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.4 The period after World War 2 saw further settlement of returned soldiers on fruit blocks in the Riverland and new irrigation areas were developed to cater for this growth.
