The tenement was formally relinquished on 5 March 2009. Final and Relinquishment Report EPC 1147 Quinalow March 2008 J.E. Siemon Pty Ltd 2 INTRODUCTION Tarong Energy Corporation Limited (TEC) holds the Exploration Permit for Coal EPC 1147 Quinalow, which is approximately halfway between Oaky and Yarraman in Southern Queensland. EPC 1147 was relinquished on 5 March 2009. This report has been prepared by J.E. Siemon Pty Ltd on behalf of Tarong Energy Corporation Limited as the Final and Relinquishment Report for EPC 1147.. LOCATION AND ACCESS EPC 1147 is in Southern Queensland approximately 30 km north-northwest of Oakey, 45 km southwest of Yarraman and about 45 km southwest of the Tarong Power Stations (Figure 1). The township of Quinalow is located just north of the EPC boundary. The principal access is the Dalby to Cooyar Road. Access within the tenement is via a network of sealed and unsealed roads.

  • Management of Low Traffic Volume Roads Unsealed Road Classification System
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND FACULTY OF HEALTH, ENGINEERING AND SCIENCES MANAGEMENT OF LOW TRAFFIC VOLUME ROADS UNSEALED ROAD CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED BY Mr ANDREW HARTWIG IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIRMENT OF ENG4112 Research Project TOWARDS THE DEGREE OF BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING (CIVIL) OCTOBER 2013 ABSTRACT Unsealed roads play an important role within Australia’s 825,000km road network. Providing the necessary funds to the unsealed portion of the network is an ongoing issue. Investigation into Toowoomba Regional Council’s unsealed road maintenance practices was undertaken to determine if any improvements or modifications could be made to improve delivery of this service. The aim was to provide consistency across Tooowoomba Regional Council resulting in maximisation of limited maintenance funds. To achieve consistency and maximise funds across Tooowoomba Regional Council a road classification system was developed. A four tier classification system was developed that outlines the service function and characteristics of roads throughout Tooowoomba Regional Council. Maintenance activities, intervention levels and response times were developed in accordance with the classification system. Estimated costs in maintaining the road network based on this system were calculated to predict funding requirements for the future. From a comparison completed, on previous years maintenance expenditure and future funding requirements, there was minimal difference between the two. Determining if the classification system is adequate for Tooowoomba Regional Council’s requirements, involves the classification system to be trialled for a period, so as to make adjustments and provide community feedback. The development of the classification system, while not providing a definitive answer on maintenance costs, has provided a method of adopting consistent maintenance practices and standards across the region which did not previously exist.

  • Toowoomba Railway Roll of Honour Board 1914-19
    Toowoomba Railway Roll of Honour Board 1914-19 Dedication This research is dedicate to all those who are recorded on the roll of honour board but especially to 425 Pte David McCarthy, 9th Bn, killed in action on 25th April 1915. Introduction This research was started after a visit to Toowoomba station in July 2015 and discovering that the 559 names on the impressive roll of honour board appeared not to have been identified or, if this work has been done, was not readily available. The aim of this initial research was to get basic details of those men listed; it is not intended to be a comprehensive account of the soldiers on the roll of honour board or railways in the Darling Downs region. Sources used included records held by the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, and the National Archives of Australia. Consequently, there may well be errors and conflicting detail; the entries for each man are headline information only – anyone wishing to drill deeper should consult sources such as the soldiers’ personal papers, newspapers, unit war diaries and histories etc. In some instances, the ‘identified’ soldier may prove to be incorrect but at this stage the most likely identification is listed; details generally have been used verbatim from sources. One hindrance was ‘occupation’ as many do not have an obvious railway trade; it is possible that some had other jobs in addition to their railway employment. A line was drawn under this work in late 2016 still with eighteen names unidentified despite trying various sources. Most of the other names were identified with a good degree of confidence but readers are invited to take this work and refine it further.
