Outback TV Background To a significant extent the Australian outback was opened up and developed through self reliance and homesteads and communities helping each other. It is no surprise then that the same happened with the development of free-to-air television reception in the outback. In the years since the first Aussat analogue satellite free-to-air TV services launched in 1985 to be replaced by the Aurora digital satellite platform in 1997 some 460 community groups pooled local resources and developed so called self-help analog TV transmission facilities to terrestrially retransmit the free-to-air TV channels that were available from the satellite. Including the regional and metropolitan areas of Australia there are around 700 self-help analog television sites in Australia operating in the order of 2,800 analog transmitters or roughly 50% to 60% more than those operated by all the commercial free-to-air broadcasters and the ABC and SBS put together. It is therefore somewhat ironic and bewildering that a new free-to-air digital satellite platform called VAST was developed between January 2009 and March 2010 by the broadcasters, DBCDE and Optus that no one thought to consult anyone of those 700 self-help analog television licensees.

  • Basin Inversion and Structural Architecture As Constraints on Fluid Flow and Pb-Zn Mineralisation in the Paleo-Mesoproterozoic S

CC BY 4.0 License. 1 Basin inversion and structural architecture as constraints on fluid 2 flow and Pb-Zn mineralisation in the Paleo-Mesoproterozoic 3 sedimentary sequences of northern Australia 4 5 George M. Gibson, Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University, Canberra ACT 6 2601, Australia 7 Sally Edwards, Geological Survey of Queensland, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 8 Brisbane, Queensland 4000, Australia 9 Abstract 10 As host to several world-class sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits and unknown quantities of conventional and 11 unconventional gas, the variably inverted 1730-1640 Ma Calvert and 1640-1580 Ma Isa superbasins of 12 northern Australia have been the subject of numerous seismic reflection studies with a view to better 13 understanding basin architecture and fluid migration pathways. Strikingly similar structural architecture 14 has been reported from much younger inverted sedimentary basins considered prospective for oil and gas 15 elsewhere in the world. Such similarities suggest that the mineral and petroleum systems in Paleo- 16 Mesoproterozoic northern Australia may have spatially and temporally overlapped consistent with the 17 observation that basinal sequences hosting Pb-Zn mineralisation in northern Australia are bituminous or 18 abnormally enriched in hydrocarbons. This points to the possibility of a common tectonic driver and shared 19 fluid pathways. Sediment-hosted Pb-Zn mineralisation coeval with basin inversion first occurred during the 20 1650-1640 Ma Riversleigh Tectonic Event towards the close of the Calvert Superbasin with further pulses 21 accompanying the 1620-1580 Ma Isa Orogeny which brought about closure of the Isa Superbasin.

  • Commonwealth of Australia Select Committee on Jobs for the Future in Regional Areas
    Commonwealth of Australia Select Committee on Jobs for the Future in Regional Areas 6 September 2019 Julia Creek | McKinlay Shire Council 1 Introduction This report is McKinlay Shire’s response to the Senate Commission’s request to provide information and insights into the future of jobs and employment opportunities in regional Australia. The report highlights several of the past, current and future challenges in regards to employment the rural community of McKinlay Shire faces. It also addresses opportunities and the need to diversify the activities to ensure continued investments in the local community. Employment opportunities have to be supported by a sustainable base of locals that is able to supply sufficient labour. In other words, population attraction and retention and renewability are essential to sustain local economic development. However, as a remote outback Shire, the forecasts of population growth are negative even in the best-case scenarios. Combined with the existential threat of natural disasters, the high levels of reliance on two volatile sectors, and sheer size of the Shire, potential investments come with a high cost and high-risk connotation which may limit private investment. In order to retain population, Council and other stakeholders should take away or reduce barriers that lead to limitations. Primary services like housing, health care, education and employment opportunities are essential in facilitating people to stay – or least preventing them from having to leave. The outback itself is appealing enough for people to stay or come and live there. As a resources and agriculture orientated Shire, we are vulnerable to external forces and threats that are beyond our control.

Signature of Supervisor Date i ABSTRACT Over the past 15 years, significant sectors of the mining industry have undertaken the Global Mining Initiative. This was followed by an extensive program called the Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development Project. These self regulatory mechanisms require 'beyond compliance' environmental behaviour, whether companies are operating in the developed or the developing world. Reviewing case studies of gold mines operated by the 'top tier' transnational mining companies in Queensland, Papua New Guinea and Tanzania, this thesis addresses whether these and other self regulatory mechanisms are more important than formal legislation in motivating compliance with environmental laws for these mining companies. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to sincerely thank and acknowledge the many hours spent by my Principal Supervisor, Associate Professor Geoff Cockfield in developing this thesis. Dr Cockfield‘s erudite comments and suggestions were of immense value.

Photo NPRSR Camooweal Caves National Park Management Statement 2013 Vision The Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing’s Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS), in conjunction with the Indjalandji-Dhidhanu people, the Traditional Owners of the area, aim to restore and protect the natural and cultural values and to provide safe sustainable, nature based recreation and commercial tourism opportunities. Conservation purpose Camooweal Caves National Park of 13,800ha was initially gazetted on 23 January 1988 under the National Park and Wildlife Act 1975. It is approximately 24km south of Camooweal in north-western Queensland and 188km north-west of the city of Mount Isa and 14km east of the Northern Territory border. Camooweal Caves National Park is important for the Indjalandji-Dhidhanu People who have dreamtime legends associated with the area, in particular the waterholes, rivers, sinkholes and caves. The Camooweal Caves are extensive cavern systems developed beneath the flat surface of the Barkly Tableland in the vicinity of Camooweal township. The park was established to provide representation of these more broadly occurring geological features.
