  • Road Networked Artificial Islands and Finger Island Canal Estates on Australia’S Gold Coast
    Absolute Waterfrontage: Road Networked Artificial Islands and Finger Island Canal Estates on Australia’s Gold Coast Philip Hayward Kagoshima University Research Center for the Pacific Islands, University of Technology Sydney, & Southern Cross University, Lismore [email protected] Christian Fleury University of Caen, Normandy [email protected] Abstract: The Gold Coast, an urban conurbation stretching along the Pacific seaboard and adjacent hinterland of south east Queensland, has developed rapidly since the 1950s. Much of its development has involved the modification of existing watercourses so as to produce stable areas of land suitable for medium and high density development. This article addresses one particular facet of this, the development of artificial islands and of estates of ‘finger islands’ (narrow, peninsular areas with direct waterfrontage) and the canalised waterways that facilitate them. The article commences with a discussion of the concepts behind such developments and the nomenclature that has accrued to them, highlighting the contradictions between branding of finger island estates and the actualities of their realisation. This discussion is supported by historical reference to earlier artificial island estates in Florida that provided a model for Australian developers. Case studies of three specific Gold Coast waterfront locations conclude the main body of the article, reflecting on factors related to the stability of their community environments.

  • GUIDE FOR... Anchoring, Mooring and Grounding Restrictions
    GUIDE FOR... Anchoring, Mooring and Grounding Restrictions RULES APPLY TO ANCHORING IN GOLD COAST WATERWAYS… Why Limit Anchoring? There are time limits for anchoring in some Gold Coast waters that are in particularly high demand. This operates like parking restrictions for vehicles in city centres or camping restrictions in national parks. Limits are needed so that everyone gets a fair go at anchoring in the most sought after locations. The map on the reverse side shows certain prohibited areas and other restrictions. Following is a summary of these rules. Anchoring and mooring boats is restricted to 24 hours on most rivers, creeks and canals and to seven days in most parts of the Broadwater. Anchoring and mooring time restrictions do not apply to boats moored to an approved buoy mooring, jetty or pontoon if you own it or have permission to use it. Anchoring or mooring boats within 30 metres of a buoy mooring, jetty or pontoon whether occupied or not, is prohibited. These rules are enforceable under the Transport Infrastructure (Waterways Management) Regulation 2012. Enforcement agencies can issue on the spot fines for breaches of these rules.

  • The 2053 South Queensland Flood
    THE 2053 SOUTH QUEENSLAND FLOOD Only Young Water Professionals Need Attend ABSTRACT A ‘roadshow’ of flood engineers in the early 1980s ‘prophesised’ the flooding that occurred in South East Queensland (SE QLD) during 2011 to 2015. The events of 2011 to 2015 may have given increased credibility to a long-held notion that SE QLD may be subject to a 40-year flood cycle. This paper examines the data on flooding within the ten major SE QLD catchments, bounded by three mountain ranges and comprising more than 63,000 km2. The purpose was to test the existence and the strength of any regularity to flooding in this well-populated region of Australia. The approach identifies the flooding that occurred during predetermined five-year periods that were 35 years apart – the 40-year cycle – and the flooding that occurred outside of these nominated 5-year periods. The basic statistics were weighted for the length of flood record, catchment area, ranking of flood, and a combination of these factors. The results indicate that 69-87% of major floods in SE QLD have occurred within a set of five-year periods exactly 35 years apart. No explanation is offered at this stage of the research. The implications for traditional hydrologic methods are outlined. Keywords: Flooding, flood cycles, regularity, flood frequency INTRODUCTION The early years of the 1970s in South East Queensland was a period of multiple flooding events, remembered mostly for the January 1974 flooding of Brisbane. The following decade was one that experienced widespread estuarine development, where State and Local Government concerns that the development be above the 1in100AEP flood on top of a cyclonic surge, with allowance for future water level rises due to global climatic change, engaged a community of engineers who specialised in relevant fields.

  • Currumbin Creek Study Guide Is a Gold Coast Waterwatch Initiative Designed to Assist Students and Teachers to Undertake Local Area and Catchment Management Studies
    Acknowledgements We would like to thank the following people for their contributions to the creation of the Currumbin Creek Catchment Study Guide. Thanks to: Paul Evans – Somerset College Paul Wotton – Hillcrest Christian College Shannon McKiernan – Gold Coast City Council Staff of the Gold Coast City Council’s Catchment Management Unit The host of teachers involved in the Gold Coast Waterwatch Program over the past 4 years Preface The Currumbin Creek Study Guide is a Gold Coast Waterwatch initiative designed to assist students and teachers to undertake local area and catchment management studies. The guide is designed primarily for use by secondary school students and teachers, particularly those undertaking studies within the Studies of Society and Environment, (SOSE), and the Science curriculum. However, it is recognised that a range of other curricula areas utilise local areas in their delivery and the structure and content of this guide has been developed to accommodate these needs. In particular, the needs of various science curricula are noted as of major importance for use and uptake of this resource. Information used in the development of this guide is diverse and has been sourced from: • Gold Coast City Council – Catchment Management Unit • Gold Coast City Council – Libraries • Gold Coast City Council – Local Area Studies • Griffith Centre for Coastal Management • Waterwatch Australia • Waterwatch Queensland • Waterwatch Victoria • Waterwatch South Australia • Healthy Waterways • GECKO (Gold Coast and Hinterland Environment Council Association) For further details, a list of resources and references is provided in this guide.
