  • Question on Notice No. 2325 Asked on 24 November 2010 DR
    Question on Notice No. 2325 Asked on 24 November 2010 DR DOUGLAS asked the Minister for Police, Corrective Services and Emergency Services (MR ROBERTS)— QUESTION: With reference to rail squads in the South Eastern Policing Region— (1) Will the Minister provide (a) the total number of rail squads, (b) their location and (c) the number of Queensland Police officers in each squad? (2) Due to the region’s growth and the southern extension of the Gold Coast railway line will the Minister outline why no rail squad has been formed and based permanently at any one of the Gold Coast rail stations south of Beenleigh? ANSWER: The Queensland Police Service has a dedicated Railway Squad established within the Specialist Services Branch, Operations Support Command. The Railway Squad is supervised by an Inspector of Police and is administratively coordinated from a central location at the Roma Street railway station. The squad has operational teams at Roma Street railway station and four satellite locations (known as outposts) at Beenleigh, Petrie, Manly and Redbank railway stations. There is no specific approved staffing strength at these outposts as they are annexes of the main Roma Street office where all members are officially stationed. The Minister for Transport and I recently announced an increase of 10 additional police officer positions for the Railway Squad. Five of these additional positions were recently allocated, bringing the approved squad strength to 59 sworn members. The remaining five will be allocated in the 2011/12 financial year, which will bring the squad’s strength to 64 officers. The staffing model for the Railway Squad includes five non-operational positions (Officer- in-Charge, Tactician, Intelligence Officers and a Crime Prevention Coordinator) as well as a dedicated Firearms and Explosive Detection Dog Handler.

  • A Micro-Level Indexing Model for the Assessment of Sustainable Urban Ecosystems
    A MICRO-LEVEL INDEXING MODEL FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF SUSTAINABLE URBAN ECOSYSTEMS Didem Dizdaroglu Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (Hons) Master of Landscape Architecture Associate Professor Tan Yigitcanlar Associate Professor Les Dawes Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Civil Engineering and Built Environment Science and Engineering Faculty Queensland University of Technology [January, 2013] Keywords Indexing Model Micro-Level Analysis Sustainability Assessment Sustainable Urban Development Urban Ecosystem Urban Sustainability i Abstract During the last several decades, the quality of natural resources and their services have been exposed to significant degradation from increased urban populations combined with the sprawl of settlements, development of transportation networks and industrial activities (Dorsey, 2003; Pauleit et al., 2005). As a result of this environmental degradation, a sustainable framework for urban development is required to provide the resilience of natural resources and ecosystems. Sustainable urban development refers to the management of cities with adequate infrastructure to support the needs of its population for the present and future generations as well as maintain the sustainability of its ecosystems (UNEP/IETC, 2002; Yigitcanlar, 2010). One of the important strategic approaches for planning sustainable cities is „ecological planning‟. Ecological planning is a multi-dimensional concept that aims to preserve biodiversity richness and ecosystem productivity through the sustainable management of natural resources (Barnes et al., 2005). As stated by Baldwin (1985, p.4), ecological planning is the initiation and operation of activities to direct and control the acquisition, transformation, disruption and disposal of resources in a manner capable of sustaining human activities with a minimum disruption of ecosystem processes.
