    1995 Aerial View of Taringa BCC Brisbane Images BCC-C120-9532.4 Taringa History Group Meeting Notices and Notes 2009 and 2010 Taringa History Group Taringa History Group Meeting Notices and Notes (2009 and 2010) Introduction Taringa’s potential as a residential suburb was recognised early in the life of the new Colony of Queensland. In the early 1860s 50 acres south of Moggill Road had been surveyed, sub-divided into house size lots and offered for sale. Marketed as the ‘West Milton’ Estate this name was also used in the western suburbs’ first postal contract secured by Alfred Roberts who ran a horse drawn omnibus to Brisbane. The opening of the railway in the 1870s spurred the building of homes and a number of businesses opened along the crest of Moggill Road. Something of a way stop this included a blacksmith, pub and grocery stores. In due course these would be joined by a school, places of worship, doctors surgery and private hospital, pharmacy, bakery, butchers, picture theatre, a masonic lodge and later service stations. The shopping and services strip became the centre of ‘village’ life, the hub of the local community. Importantly Taringa became the administration centre for local government when these authorities were formed by legislation in the late 1870s. The office for the Indooroopilly Divisional Board was built in the Moggill/Morrow Road split and subsequently extended to meet the needs of the Taringa Divisional Board, then the Taringa Shire Council as the local authority boundaries were progressively adjusted to reflect closer settlement in the inner suburbs.

  • Section 3.7 – Local Area Frameworks
    Draft Ipswich Planning Scheme 2019 Statement of Proposals 3.7 Local Area Frameworks 3.7.1 Preliminary (1) The Ipswich Local Government Area has been divided into thirty local area strategic planning units based on geographically identifiable communities of interest (areas with identifiable boundaries and within which there are broad land use and planning commonalities) to which individual Local Area Frameworks apply. (2) The thirty Local Area Frameworks provide a more detailed spatial expression of the policies included in the Whole of City Strategic Framework (refer to sections 3.1 to 3.6) for each of the local area strategic planning units by: (a) including a description of the geographic extent of the strategic planning unit to which the Local Area Framework applies; (b) identifying the Valuable Features in the area that are of significance and are to be protected; (c) identifying the most significant Development Constraints that impact on development in the area and that need to be considered and addressed in allocating precincts and for development assessment; (d) setting out the Growth Management outcomes that are to be delivered in the area; (e) identifying the key Infrastructure that needs to be delivered to support growth and development in the area; (f) showing the preferred use of land in the area by including each property in a land use precinct designation; and (g) where there are different development options (including for example building heights, lot sizes, dwelling densities or different land uses) for an area or individual

  • Technical Report 7 Air Quality Impact Assessment: Brisbane Northern Link Project
    TECHNICAL REPORT 7 AIR QUALITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT: BRISBANE NORTHERN LINK PROJECT 24 July 2008 Prepared for Sinclair Knight Merz / Connell Wagner Joint Venture by Holmes Air Sciences Suite 2B, 14 Glen St Eastwood NSW 2122 Phone : (02) 9874 8644 Fax : (02) 9874 8904 Email : [email protected] Holmes Air Sciences EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following report presents an analysis of the air quality impacts of the proposed Brisbane Northern Link Project (the “Project”). The Project involves the construction and operation of an underground toll road (tunnel) between the Western Freeway, in Toowong, and the Inner City Bypass (ICB), at Kelvin Grove. The study focuses on air quality impacts arising from the Project. The study has attempted to answer the following questions: • How would air quality change as a result of the Project? • How do the air quality impacts of the Project compare with the “do nothing” case? • Would the Project achieve compliance with air quality goals? Computer-based dispersion modelling has been used as the primary tool to assist with the assessment. Various existing and future scenarios have been simulated and compared in order to gain a greater understanding of the likely impacts that the Project would have on the local air quality. From the assessments that have been undertaken the following conclusions were drawn: • Pollutant concentrations in the study area in future years (2014+), arising from motor vehicles, would be expected to be similar to existing (2007) concentrations. This is the case both with and without the Project. • Model results for future years are considered to be conservative since no further improvements to vehicle emissions have been taken into account.

  • RACQ Ipswich Motorway Policy Analysis
    Policy Analysis 9/05 Economic & Public Policy Ipswich Motorway Introduction The Ipswich Motorway is a vital link between Brisbane and Ipswich. It connects Ipswich and Granard Roads at Rocklea to the Warrego and Cunningham Highways and Brisbane Road at Dinmore. For many years, it formed part of the National Highway System (NHS), which was a Commonwealth Government funding responsibility. Since the release of the Commonwealth’s AusLink land transport policy in June 2004, the Ipswich Motorway has been part of a broader National Network. The AusLink policy decreed that the states must share costs of the National Network, particularly in urban areas. The Ipswich Motorway is one of Queensland’s most congested roads, with stop-start conditions during morning and afternoon peak periods. It also has one of the highest vehicle accident rates in Queensland. Yet, the upgrading of this hopelessly inadequate and dangerous road has been subjected to extraordinary delays because of political bickering and dithering. This document summarises the history of recent proposals to upgrade the Ipswich Motorway, analyses Commonwealth and State Government policies regarding the road, and outlines RACQ’s position. Background The Ipswich Motorway upgrade project has been dogged by delays, conflict between governments, and political manoeuvring. In the meantime, road trauma and congestion continue to worsen on this very sub-standard stretch of the National Network. The following brief chronology highlights key events in this sad, sorry saga. 1997 The Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland, which was released in 1997, proposed commencement in 1997-98 of a major investigation in respect of an Ipswich Motorway upgrade.

This supplement did not involve the editorial staff of the Los Angeles Times and the Southern California Newspaper Group. Printed with recycled paper. WELCOME TO MOBILITY 2018 The Price for a Civilized Society really don’t enjoy paying taxes. When I go out to dinner with friends and the bill comes, you can count on me to jokingly ask, “Who I ordered the tax!” Why do we pay taxes? First, some history. The word tax comes from the Latin word taxare, but the Romans were not the first or only civilization to impose taxes on their people. The ancient Greeks and Egyptians levied taxes on their own citizens and foreigners, and so did the Hebrews. So why do we pay taxes? We pay taxes because that is the price we pay to have a civilized society. A civilized society requires a well-funded government to provide essential community and public services including police and fire, parks, libraries, clean water, roads, highways and public transportation, to name a few. Taxes can be classified into two categories, regressive and progressive. If taxes negatively affect the poor they are considered regressive; The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transit Authority (Metro) continues to extend light rail lines if they negatively affect the rich more than they throughout the county from the San Fernando Valley to the East San Gabriel Valley to Santa Monica negatively affect the poor they are considered and Long Beach.
