Prior to construction of the ‘walk’ the alignment was first surveyed and charted by the author following numerous field reconnaissance trips and traverses to consider trees and vegetation of significance identified for protection and mapped during this exercise. Arnold Wolthers attended the site daily when construction was in progress to ensure the design maintained its integrity and direction. Twenty two detailed design elements were presented along with this Management Plan for future implementation as funds become available. These include an ocean viewing platform, a lookout point, wheelchair access provisions, a skywalk, nodal intersection detailing and entry statements. This Management Plan was presented to City of Gold Coast, and has been referenced and utilised by Council as a resource.

  • Flinders Shire Council 15 Mile Irrigated Agricultural Development Project Initial Advice Statement
    Flinders Shire Council 15 Mile Irrigated Agricultural Development Project Initial Advice Statement August 2018 Executive summary The Flinders Shire (Shire) is located in the heart of North West Queensland covering area of 41,632 square kilometres (MITEZ 2018). Hughenden is the main business centre for the Shire, which also encompasses the smaller communities of Prairie, Torrens Creek and Stamford (FSC 2018). Hughenden is situated on the banks of the Flinders River at the crossroads of the Flinders Highway and the inland Hann Highway (FSC 2018 and MITEZ 2018). The Shire is predominantly a grazing area with the major industry being beef cattle production (FSC 2018 and MITEZ 2018). There are approximately 230 rural grazing properties, with a gross agricultural production value of $73.5 M, within the Shire (MITEZ 2018). Despite this, the Shire has experienced negative average annual growth rates over the past decade (-1.9%) with an increasing negative trend in the last 5 years (-3.2%) (QGSO 2018). The Shire is experiencing above State average economic disadvantage, with most major demographic indicators trending below the average for the whole of Queensland. In line with their Guiding Principles, Flinders Shire Council (Council) is committed to taking actions that promote sustainable growth in the Shire and has identified that future development will be in establishing the Shire as an emerging centre for irrigated agriculture. Council consider the 15 Mile Irrigation Project (the project) a key development that aligns with this principle. The project arises from the CSIRO report, Agricultural resource assessment for the Flinders catchment (CSIRO 2013)1 as part of the North Queensland Irrigated Agriculture Strategy (NQIAS).

  • The Prehistory of Aboriginal Landuse on the Upper Flinders River
    THE PREHISTORY OF ABORIGINAL LANDUSE ON THE UPPER FLINDWS RIVER, NORTH QUEENSLAND HIGHLANDS H. J. MORWOOD Archaeology b Palaeoan tbropology The Unf versf ty of Mew England INTRODUCTION A general theme in Australian prehistory is the development of the distinctive social, economic and technological systems observed in recent Aboriginal societies. Research has demonstrated significant change in the Australian archaeological sequence and general trends of such are shared by numerous regions. Most that have been investigated indicate low density occupation during the Pleistocene and early Holocene with significant increases in site numbers, increased artefact discard rates and dissemination of new technologies and artefact types in mid-to-late Holocene times (e.g. Lourandos 1985). On the other hand, each region has a unique prehistory, range of material evidence and research potential. Our knowledge of Holocene developments in Aboriginal subsistence systems, for instance, is largely based upon the history of cycad exploitation in the Central Queensland Highlands (Beaton 1982), the appearance of seed grindstones in arid and semi- arid zones (Smith 1986) and evidence for increased emphasis on small- bodied animals in N.E. New South Wales and S.E. Queensland (McBryde 1977:233; Morwood 1987:347). The North Queensland Highlands have their own unique contribution to make concerning of Aboriginal Holocene adaptation. Partly this derives from location; the region is a largely unknown, lying in an intermediate position between S.E. Cape York Peninsula (Rosenfeld et a1 1981), the Central Queensland Highlands (Morwood 1981, 1984a), the Gulf country of N.W. Queensland (Hiscock 1984) and the Townsville area (e.g. Brayshaw 1977; Campbell 1982).

  • The Revised Bradfield Scheme
    THE REVISED BRADFIELD SCHEME THE PROPOSED DIVERSION OF THE UPPER TULLY I HERBERT BURDEKIN . RIVERS ON TO THE INLAND PLAINS OF NORTH AND CENTRAL QUEENSLAND PROPOSAL OF QUEENSLAND N.P.A. WATER RESOURCES SUB-COMMITTEE NOVEMBER 1981. THEBRADFffiLDSCHEME . ·,·:.:.·:::·;: .. The scheme to divert water from the coastal rivers to inland Queensland was proposed by ~e ll.oted engineer Dr J J C Bradfield in 1938. He envisaged diverting water from the coastal Tully,· Herbert, and Burdekin Rivers across the Great Dividing Range to supply the inland watei::s in Queensia1l<i .. The major inland water courses to receive the diverted water would be the Flinders and Thompson Rivers and Torrens Creek. Bradfield's work was based on elevation (height) information obtained from a barometer that he carried on horse back and the extremely sparse streamflow data that was available at the time. Bradfield's scheme emphasised providing water for stock and fodder to offset the recurring problem of drought, plus recharge for the aquifers of the Great Artesian Basin. He paid little attention to using the transferred water for irrigated agriculture or to competing demands for water east of the Divide for irrigation and hydro power generation. In about 1983 the Queensland Government commissioned the consulting engineering fii:m, Cameron McNamara Pty Ltd, to undertake a re-assessment of the Bradfield scheme. The final report by the consultants was not released by the Government however some information from the report was disseminated. A summary of that information is:-. • It wouldbe·possible to·divert 924 000 megalitres of water per year to the Hughenden area.· ..
