U 10th September, 1982 The Honourable R. J. HINZE, M.L.A. Minister for Local Government, Main Roads and Police, Brisbane, Q. 4000 Dear Sir, I have the honou r to submit the Annual Report of the Queensland Police Department for the 12 months ended 30th June, 1982. It is pleasing to be able to report for the 5th consecutive year a crime clear-up rate in excess of 50 per cent. For the year past, Queensland police officers have excelled in selflessly applying themselves to maintaining our Department as the most effective in the Commonwealth. In so dOing, an all-time record crime clear-up rate of 53·07 per cent was set. This is a clear indication of the high morale existing in all sections throughout the State and a recognition of how valuable Government support has been in recent years in providing badly needed additional manpower and sufficient finance to improve the living and working conditions of officers across a biOad front. The magnitude of this achievement can only be understood when set against the spiralling crime rate, booming population, the steady drain on experienced management through the optional early retirement scheme, and the man-hours lost because of the need for specialized training of many personnel in preparation for the XII Commonwealth Games. The pressures brought about by the first three factors will continue to affect the Department's operational effectiveness and long-term planning in the years ahead. However, I trust the continued backing of the Government, made possible through the vigorous representations by you, Sir, for yet more human and material resources, will allow the Department to build on its already fine traditions. The results set out in the following pages clearly outline the teamwork and efficiency which have characterized all aspects of our activity during the past 12 months. Credit is due to many people for the overall improvement in police performance, and it is this spirit of co-operation that gives Queenslanders a pOlice service of which they can be justly proud. On behalf of all members, I thank you for your interest in police matters during the year. Yours faithfully I ...:J .l'Y'\.J • c:fe. tW" C T. M.

  • 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).

One of its major conclusions was that, if protected areas are to be maintained in the long term, their essential roles and broader services, beyond biodiversity conservation, need to be emphasised. Many governments are finding it increasingly difficult to justify the maintenance of protected areas, if the wider benefits for local communities and the society at large cannot be demonstrated. This report represents an early attempt to develop wider arguments for protection, focusing on one narrow but important issue − the potential role of protected areas in helping to maintain water supply to major cities. It is a good time to look at the links between water and protected areas. The United Nations has proclaimed 2003 as the International Year of Freshwater, to help promote new and existing water resource initiatives.
