SPEAKER’S RESPONSE a) When did the project commence? In 2015-16 funding of $5.621M was approved to install a fire protection (sprinkler) system in Parliament House. The decision was made after several reviews had been conducted by independent experts who came to the view that investment in new fire protection systems was necessary given that: • there are currently no fire suppression systems (sprinklers) in the building, nor any fire compartmentation (fire barriers to limit the spread of fire); and • the above facts, combined with the age, construction, contents and use of the building, result in unacceptable property risks. The preferred solution included: • Installation of sprinklers throughout the building (i.e. in the roof space, riser ducts, spaces where plant and equipment is housed, the chambers, corridors, individual offices, etc.); • Construction of limited fire compartmentation in the roof space; and • Installation of automatic gas suppression systems in the strong rooms, O’Donovan Library and Reading Rooms. Due to the complexity of the work program, in July 2015 the Department of Housing and Public Works (DHPW) were engaged to deliver technical project management services, involving various external stakeholders including the Department of Environment and Heritage, Queensland Fire and Rescue, and a number of technical architects and contractors. In December 2015, a public tender was issued by BAS for stage 1 of the project. Following delays in commencing the project (refer below) in March 2017 the fire services package for stage 1 of the works program was awarded to Chubb Fire and Security Pty Ltd. b) What was the original timeline and have there been any delays and why? The original timeframe for the project provided for commencement in July 2015 with completion by June 2018. Commencement of the project was delayed by approximately 12 months pending technical evaluation of an alternative solution proposed by a supplier (Chubb

  • Queensland Arts Council Strategic Plan, 2001-2003
    ARTS FACILITATION AND CREATIVE COMMUNITY CULTURE: A STUDY OF QUEENSLAND ARTS COUNCIL by Michael John Richards ADVA, MA. Submitted to the Faculty of Creative Industries at Queensland University of Technology, in support of an application for admission to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, January 2005. 1 LIST OF KEYWORDS Civil Society Community Arts Community Cultural Development Community Revitalisation Community Engagement Creative Class Creative Industries Cultural Industries Cultural Policy Excellence Elite(s) Knowledge Class Meritocracy Regional Arts 2 ABSTRACT This thesis adopts a Cultural Industries framework to examine how Queensland’s arts council network has, through the provision of arts products and services, contributed to the vitality, health and sustainability of Queensland’s regional communities. It charts the history of the network, its configuration and impact since 1961, with particular focus on the years 2001 - 2004, envisages future trends, and provides an analysis of key issues which may be used to guide future policies and programs. Analysis is guided by a Cultural Industries understanding of the arts embedded in everyday life, and views the arts as a range of activities which, by virtue of their aesthetic and symbolic dimensions, enhance human existence through their impact on both the quality and style of human life. Benefits include enhanced leisure and entertainment options, and educational, social, health, personal growth, and economic outcomes, and other indirect benefits which enrich environment and lifestyle. Queensland Arts Council (QAC) and its network of branches has been a dominant factor in the evolution of Queensland’s cultural environment since the middle of the 20th century. Across the state, branches became the public face of the arts, drove cultural agendas, initiated and managed activities, advised governments, wrote cultural policies, lobbied, raised funds and laboured to realise cultural facilities and infrastructure.

  • Special Climate Statement 13
    SPECIAL CLIMATE STATEMENT 13 Exceptional cold and unseasonable rain in the Australian tropics, 17-22 June 2007 Issued 28 th June 2007 National Climate Centre Cite: National Climate Centre, 2007. Exceptional cold and unseasonable rain in the Australian tropics, 17-22 June 2007, Bureau of Meteorology, Special Climate Statement 13. 2 Special Climate Statement 13 Exceptional cold and unseasonable rain in the Australian tropics, 17-22 June 2007 The period from 17-22 June 2007 saw exceptionally cold conditions in the Australian tropics, as well as widespread unseasonable rain during what is normally the dry season. This event resulted from the combination of an extensive and slow-moving middle-level cloud-band, associated with an upper-level trough, and a south-southeasterly surge over much of the tropics, largely resulting from the circulation associated with an intense low-pressure system off the coast of New South Wales. Overview of the event The first major rain event occurred during the period 17-18 June. This event principally affected the northern interior of Queensland (Figure 1), with a number of stations receiving daily falls in excess of 50 mm. There was also an isolated heavy fall of 71.4 mm at Oenpelli in western Arnhem Land. Daily maximum temperatures during this period were well below normal, but generally not at record low levels. The main rain-bearing system started to affect the Kimberley region of Western Australia and adjacent western border regions of the Northern Territory on 19 June. Many parts of the eastern Kimberley district of WA and the Victoria River district of the Northern Territory received 25 mm or more for the 24 hours to 0900 on 20 June, with a few stations exceeding 50 mm.
