  • 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.

    Fraser Coast HSD - Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Population Profile Census 2001 Census population counts are used throughout this factsheet, rather than residential population. Census population count refers to the number of persons counted at their actual location on census night (August in 1991, 1996 and 2001), and usually includes visitors from overseas and Australian residents away from their usual residence. However in this factsheet, overseas visitors have been excluded. Not stated categories have also been excluded. This is the second in a series of census data factsheets prepared by Central Public Health Unit Network. Additional factsheets reporting 2001 census data, estimated residential population and other sociodemographic indicators have been released or will be released as data becomes available. This factsheet includes the minimum core set of variables for reporting on cultural and language diversity plus variables from the standard set. The minimum core set is; country of birth of person, main language other than English spoken at home (MLOTESH) and proficiency in spoken English. The fourth core indicator, Indigenous status is reported in a separate factsheet.

  • The Importance of Boundaries
    The importance of boundaries Colin Hughes Emeritus Professor of Politic Science, University of Queensland Research Paper 1 (November 2007) Democratic Audit of Australia Australian National University Canberra, ACT 0200 Australia http://democratic.audit.anu.edu.au The views expressed are the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Democratic Audit of Australia. If elections are to be thought fair, their outcomes should correspond as closely as possible to the inputs of voter preferences. A particular percentage of the votes counted for a party should produce close to the same percentage of the seats won by that party. Down that path lie the topics of partisan bias and proportional representation with multi-member electoral districts as the most common solution. But there is a second criterion of fairness which is that outcomes should correspond to the numbers of electors or people to be represented. That criterion is often called equality, and down that path lie the topics of malapportionment and enforced equality as a solution. The two criteria may not work in the same direction.1 In Australia the problem of equality has been debated mainly with respect to the dichotomy of town and country, ‘town’ usually meaning the State capital(s) which have been invariably by far the largest urban center in each State and ‘country’ the rest, though sometimes the larger provincial cities and towns get lumped in with their local metropolis. Should town voters have the same quantity of representation, measured by the number of electors in the electoral districts, as country voters? There has also been a sub-plot, which is what this paper is about, that concerns the existence of a small number of electoral districts spread over exceptionally large areas in which the population, and consequently the numbers of electors, is relatively thin on the ground and widely scattered.

  • Compulsory Acquisition Paper
    COMPULSORY ACQUISITION: THE ASSESSMENT OF COMPENSATION UNDER THE ACQUISITION OF LAND ACT 1967 (Qld) Presented by: Grant Allan Barrister-at-Law Level 20 Inns of Court 107 North Quay Brisbane Qld 4000 March 2013 “The property of subjects is under the eminent domain of the State, so that the State, or he who acts for it, may use and even alienate and destroy such property, not only in cases of extreme necessity, in which even private persons have a right over the property of others, but for ends of public utility, to which ends those who founded our society must be supposed to have intended that private ends should give way. But it is to be observed that when this is done, the State is bound to make good the loss to those who lose their property, and to this public purpose, he who has suffered the loss must if needs be contribute.” Hugo Grotius, De Jure Belli et Pacis, 1624 “So great moreover is the regard of the law for private property, that it will not authorize the least violation of it; no, not even for the general good of the whole community. If a new road, for instance, were to be made through the grounds of a private person, it might perhaps be extensively beneficial to the public; but the law permits no man, or set of men, to do this without consent of the owner of the land. In vain may it be urged, that the good of the individual ought to yield to that of the community; for it would be dangerous to allow any private man, or even any public tribunal, to be the judge of the common good, and to decide whether it be expedient, or no.
