Renewable-Energy-Brochure.Pdf ADVANCEROCKHAMPTON.COM.AU RENEWABLE ENERGY IN THE ROCKHAMPTON REGION 220 Quay Street | PO Box 1860 Rockhampton QLD 4700 [email protected] 07 4936 8282 Economic Development, Tourism, Events & Marketing THE ROCKHAMPTON REGION HAS EMERGED AS A RENEWABLE ENERGY HOT SPOT As demand for energy increases globally so does the need for renewable energy sources that foster sustainability without efficiency being compromised. The location of the Powerlink distribution system and the Queensland Government’s target of having 50 per cent of the State’s electricity generation coming from renewable sources by 2030 has sharpened the focus of renewable energy within the Rockhampton Region. The transition towards a focus on a renewable energy system represents a unique economic growth opportunity for the Rockhampton Region that brings with it a host of positive impacts. 3 PROJECTS Renewable energy projects within the Rockhampton Region will fuel economic growth, generate new employment opportunities, boost human welfare and work towards a climate safe future.

  • Floristic Patterns in Coastal Rainforest of Shoalwater Bay, Central Queensland
    362 Cunninghamia 8(3): 2004 McCarthy et al., Floristic patterns in coastal rainforest of Shoalwater Bay Floristic patterns in coastal rainforest of Shoalwater Bay, Central Queensland Peter McCarthy1, Peter Clarke2 and Jeremy Bruhl3 113 Knox St., Clovelly NSW 2031; 2Botany, School of Environmental Sciences and Natual Resources Management, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, AUSTRALIA; 3Botanic Gardens and Domain Trust, Mrs Macquaries Rd, Sydney NSW 2000, AUSTRALIA. Abstract: A study was undertaken of the floristic patterns in coastal rainforest (low closed forest) of Shoalwater Bay, central Queensland. The site encompasses 60 km of coastline, extending from latitude 22° 08’ 30’’ to 22° 30’ 0” and longitude 150° 02’ 00” to 150° 24’ 30”. The rainforest grows on coastal Holocene sand dunes, swales and sand flats, distributed as a series of 27 discrete patches greater than one hectare along 60 kilometres of coastline. Mean patch size was 10.7 hectares (maximum 150 hectares). The flora was predominantly woody, and lacked the complex growth forms of Webb (1968). Floristic links with central and north Queensland were strong, with some species distributions extending into Malesia and the Pacific. Three physical strata, emergent (composed of trees), canopy (composed of trees, vines and epiphytes) and sub-canopy (trees, vines and herbs) were recognised. The herb layer was very poorly developed. Eighty-one species were recorded, representing 42 families and 72 genera. Sixty three quadrats were sampled across the rainforest patches to measure abundance of all vascular taxa using frequency score. Five floristic groups were defined from agglomerative classification analysis, one representing mixed forest, two representing low microphyll vine forest (LMVF) and two representing microphyll vine thicket (MVT).

  • Gold in Central Queensland
    73 GOLD OCCURRENCES IN CENTRAL QUEENSLAND Extract from the Queensland Mining Guide No attempt is made in this portion of the Mining Guide to deal with the past history of the various mining fields or to describe the many mines being worked in the State. The object rather is to show - both to the individual prospector and to the mining investor - some of the mining possibilities of each of the districts mentioned, passing reference being made to particular mines in certain cases only. Slight reference only has been made to geological features. The relative importance of deposits and districts mentioned cannot be gauged by the lengths of the references in these notes. On many of the old fields the conditions are well known, or can be ascertained at the main centres. Special attention has been drawn to some of the lesser known fields. Any person or company desirous of obtaining further details in relation to any of the nines, deposits, or localities referred to should communicate with the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Brisbane, or with the nearest Warden, Inspector of Mines, or District Geologist. General area covered by this report The Reworking of Deposits The fact that certain ore-bodies were worked years ago and were abandoned does not necessarily imply that such deposits cannot be worked profitably under different conditions. The metal market is always a primary factor in deciding the success or 1:250 000 scale maps failure of mining ventures. The utilization of First edition 1968/75 modern methods of mining and treatment may bring renewed life to some mines.
