All aspects of development on a Local Heritage Place in a Local Heritage Register under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, are code assessable (unless City Plan 2000 requires impact assessment). Those code assessable applications are assessed against the Code in Schedule 2 of the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 and the Heritage Place Code in City Plan 2000. City Plan 2000 makes some aspects of development impact assessable on the site of a Heritage Place and a Heritage Precinct.

Those impact assessable applications are assessed under the relevant provisions of the City Plan 2000. All aspects of development on land adjoining a Heritage Place or Heritage Precinct are assessable solely under City Plan 2000. ********** For building work on a Local Heritage Place assessable against the Building Act 1975, the Local Government is a concurrence agency. ********** Amendments to the Local Heritage Register are located at the back of the Register.

  • Hansard 3 May 2001
    3 May 2001 Legislative Assembly 639 THURSDAY, 3 MAY 2001 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R. K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE Public Works Committee; Comments by Member for Beaudesert Mr NEIL ROBERTS (Nudgee—ALP) (9.31 a.m.): I rise on a matter of privilege. Yesterday, the member for Beaudesert, in a question to the Treasurer and Minister for Sport, revealed to this House information concerning the internal deliberations of the Public Works Committee. Specifically, the member revealed what he believed to be the way in which ALP members of the committee deliberated on a particular issue. On Tuesday, 1 May during debate on the Parliamentary Committees and Criminal Justice Amendment Bill, the member for Beaudesert also revealed to this House what he believed to be the way in which I, as Chairman of the Public Works Committee, deliberated on another matter being considered by the committee. In relation to this matter, he said— So we found that the committee split three all. Of course, unbelievably, a casting vote was made by the chairman, an ALP member. Which way did he go? Of course he went with the government. So we had a four-three vote. It is a well-established principle of this and other parliaments that the internal deliberations of parliamentary committees are not divulged without the authority of the committee. This is an extremely important principle which goes to the very heart of the effective operation of the committee system. In fact, the unauthorised publication or disclosure of the private deliberations and decisions of committees have been pursued as matters of breach of privilege or contempt.

  • 3. One of the Most Persistent Bitches: Judy
    3 One of the Most Persistent Bitches: Judy I was about one and a half when, in 1946, I was put in the Queen Alexandra Home and my sister Gloria must have been about seven and my other sister Beverly was nearly four. My brother was born just after that. I was the first one put in the institution. I lived there until I was 12 years old. My mum had walked out on us—her four children—and dad served in Japan during the war. He sent money to the Home, about 14 shillings a week, for the whole family. Queen Alexandra Home My first memory—me sitting in a cot with my foot all bandaged up because I had stepped on a nail. I remember it being so funny, me throwing my food at other girls. There was a Mr and Mrs R. there. They wanted to adopt me and my dad wouldn’t sign the paperwork. I can remember my sister Beverly and there were people we used to call ‘Matron’ and ‘Sir’. My brother was never put in there. He was adopted out to other people. Queen Alexandra Home was a huge building full of tiny children. There were private wards and state ward children. Still to this day I can remember the front entrance and the black and white tiles. I can’t walk into a house that’s got black and white tiles. I have to get out of it. There must have been 100 children in there. Sir and Matron were pretty brutal to us.

  • First Placegetters in the Queensland Scholarship Examination 1873-1962
    Promising lives: First placegetters in the Queensland Scholarship examination 1873-1962 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics at the University of Queensland in December 2006. Marion Elizabeth Mackenzie BA, BSW, PGDip(Arts) Statement of originality I certify that this thesis is original and my own work, except where the work of others is quoted and acknowledged as such in the text. This material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. Abstract The Scholarship was an external examination held at the end of primary school when students were generally aged thirteen or fourteen. It dominated Queensland education for ninety years from 1873 until 1962. For much of that period, passing the examination was the only opportunity for most children to enter secondary education. It was at first a competitive examination for limited places in the early grammar schools, and later a qualifying examination for entrance to any secondary school. The principal focus of this thesis is the early promise displayed by 186 young Queenslanders who were ranked first in the state in the examination. It draws conclusions about the impact of education on individuals and society through longitudinal research, by examining the influence of family, school, community attitudes, world events and personal choices on the outcomes for those successful students. It investigates how early success was translated into their later lives, how they dealt with the opportunities and barriers they encountered, whether females and males had different outcomes, and in what ways they differed from their peers.
