Message from the editor 1 Mungindi Matters Issue 030 21 December 2020 FAREWELL COUNCILLOR SUE PRICE OAM Thursday, 10 December 2020 Photograph: Councillors at Mrs Sue Price’s last Council meeting. After just over 12 years around the Council table, Councillor Sue Price OAM formally resigned from her position and attended her last meeting of Moree Plains Shire Council today. The decision to step down from Council stems from Mrs Price relocating earlier this year to Toowoomba to be closer to her children and grandchildren. General Manager, Mr Lester Rodgers has described Mrs Price a tremendous asset to the Moree Plains Shire community, “Councillor Price will be sorely missed throughout the community”. “During Mrs Price’s time as a Councillor, she fiercely advocated for the Mungindi community and was an active member of multiple internal council committees, advisory committees, 355 committees and external committees concerned with regional development, the Inland Rail and rural roads”, said Mr Rodgers. Since her election to Council, Mrs Price served as Deputy Mayor and held the position until 2016.Over her 12 years with Council, Mrs Price was a part of 13 committees Mungindi Matters Issue 030 21 December 2020 including: • Council Committee of the Whole • Mungindi Showground & Racecourse • General Manager’s Performance Review Committee Committee • Mungindi Youth Council • Moree Artesian Aquatic Centre Ltd Board • Weemelah Public Hall Management • Mungindi Crime Prevention Committee Committee • Road Network Consultative Group • Treasurer of Arts North West • Mungindi Aged Care Committee Mrs Price also represented the broader Moree Plains community and over her tenure as a Councillor, chaired the Melbourne to Brisbane Inland Rail Alliance, chaired the Australian Rural Roads Group and was a board member of Regional Development Australia – Northern Inland. In May 2019, Mrs Price was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) for her services to rural and regional NSW and announced as the recipient of the 2019 Minister’s Award for Women in Local Government as an Elected Representative from a Rural or Regional Council. Moree Plains Shire Council Mayor, Katrina Humphries stood for local government office in the same year, “Sue and I came into Moree Plains Shire Council together in 2008”, said Mayor Humphries. “Sue has been a wonderful Deputy Mayor and a fabulous representative for not only Mungindi but the whole of the shire. Sue is loyal, dignified and gracious. “Sue gave everything possible to the progress of the Inland Rail and I would not be able to imagine the number of kilometres she has travelled over the years to benefit us all. “Sue will be missed very much by our community and also by all the other people across the North West she has helped over the years. “On behalf of the people of the Moree Plains and beyond we thank Sue so much. We wish Sue and Glenn all the very best for their future; they will always have a place in our hearts”, concluded Mayor Humphries. Mrs Price concluded her responsibilities as Councillor today at her final council meeting. In relation to the vacancy created by Councillor Price’s resignation, Council today resolved to apply to the Minister for Local Government to provide an order that this Mungindi Matters Issue 030 21 December 2020 vacancy not be filled prior to next year’s elections in September, given that Cr Price’s resignation has taken place within 18 months of such elections. This will dispense with the need to convene a by-election.

  • The Distribution and Impacts of Lippia (Phyla Canescens) in the Murray Darling System
    The Distribution and Impacts of Lippia (Phyla canescens) in the Murray Darling System. Final Report to the Lippia Working Group October 2003 Prepared by: Dr Judith Earl Agricultural Information & Monitoring Services ABN: 73 918 506 894 Contact Address: 73 Hardinge St Guyra NSW 2365 Phone: 02 6779 2286 Fax: 02 6779 2486 Email: [email protected] PHOTOGRAPHS: All photographs that appear in the document were taken by the author unless otherwise stated. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: The funding for this Murray Darling Lippia Working Group Project was provided by the Murray Darling Basin Commission and project management was provided by the Australian Cotton Cooperative Research Centre. This project was reliant on input from a vast number of individuals from a wide area, their cooperation and contribution to the project is greatly appreciated. i Executive Summary Lippia occurs predominantly on the clay soil floodplains of the inland river system in the 500- 800mm annual rainfall zone of Queensland and NSW, although it is present in varying density within each of the 19 catchments Murray Darling Basin. The worst affected catchments are the Condamine, Border Rivers, Gwydir, Namoi, Lachlan, Murrumbidgee and the Murray. Lippia is currently estimated to be distributed across at least 5% of the Murray Darling Basin occurring across a total area in the order of 5.3 million hectares. The spread of Lippia appears to be clearly related to flood events. Many farmers, particularly south of the Queensland border, stated that Lippia has become a problem since specific flood events. In the Gwydir region the Lippia population increased markedly following the 1996 flood and again after the 1998 floods.

    WAGGAMBA SHIRE HANDBOOK An Inventory of the Agricultural Resources and Production of Waggamba Shire, Queensland. Queensland Department of Primary Industries Brisbane, December 1980. WAGGAMBA SHIRE HANDBOOK An Inventory of the Agricultural Resources and Production ofWaggamba Shire, Queensland. Compiled by: J. Bourne, Extension Officer, Toowoomba Edited by: P. Lloyd, Extension Officer, Brisbane Published by: Queensland Department of Primary Industries Brisbane December, 1980. ISBN 0-7242-1752-5 FOREWORD The Shire Handbook was conceived in the mid-1960s. A limited number of a series was printed for use by officers of the Department of Primary Industries to assist them in their planning of research and extension programmes. The Handbooks created wide interest and, in response to public demand, it was decided to publish progressively a new updated series. This volume is one of the new series. Shire Handbooks review, in some detail, the environmental and natural resources which affect farm production and people in the particular Shire. Climate, geology, topography, water resources, soil and vegetation are described. Farming systems are discussed, animal and crop production reviewed and yields and turnoff quantified. The economics of component industries are studied. The text is supported liberally by maps and statistical tables. Shire Handbooks provide important reference material for all concerned with rural industries and rural Queensland. * They serve as a guide to farmers and graziers, bankers, stock and station agents and those in agricultural business. * Provide essential information for regional planners, developers and environmental impact students. * Are a very useful reference for teachers at all levels of education and deserve a place in most libraries.

' Reardon Operations Attn: Senate Environment and Communicat ions Committee PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Water Amendment (Purchase Limit Repeal} Bill - 2019 Submission. Please find enclosed a submission from Reardon Operations regarding my concerns related to The Inquiry into the Water Amendment (Purchase Limit Repeal) Bill 2019. Regards, Robert Reardon Director Reardon Operations Page2/4 27 February 2019 Introduction Reardon Operations Pty Ltd have been irrigating on Border Rivers system since 1990. We were all given plenty of encouragement by Queensland Government to develop an irrigation industry in this location that would utilize the Queensland water resources and the good fertile land on the Weir river floodplain. Our business today employs 24 families as well as another 16 permanent employees. These people are all accommodated on farm. In 1990 these properties only employed about 4 people. Our business also employs the services of a large number of local support services which are instrumental in keeping the surrounding communities viable. Page3/4 27 February 2019 Areas of Concern with the Water Amendment Bill 2019 • The lSOOGI Cap has been put in place to provide communities with certainty that the government will not buy back extra water and destroy their lively hoods. This should be adhered to as further recovery will be detrimental. • There is still capacity available (EST 200GI +) remaining under the current cap which can be used for targeted water recovery where required. • Water recovery in the form of buy backs results in a huge amount of stranded infrastructure left behind which is no longer productive and no longer of benefit to the economy of these already struggling regions.
