    Question on Notice No. 2325 Asked on 24 November 2010 DR

    Question on Notice No. 2325 Asked on 24 November 2010 DR DOUGLAS asked the Minister for Police, Corrective Services and Emergency Services (MR ROBERTS)— QUESTION: With reference to rail squads in the South Eastern Policing Region— (1) Will the Minister provide (a) the total number of rail squads, (b) their location and (c) the number of Queensland Police officers in each squad? (2) Due to the region’s growth and the southern extension of the Gold Coast railway line will the Minister outline why no rail squad has been formed and based permanently at any one of the Gold Coast rail stations south of Beenleigh? ANSWER: The Queensland Police Service has a dedicated Railway Squad established within the Specialist Services Branch, Operations Support Command. The Railway Squad is supervised by an Inspector of Police and is administratively coordinated from a central location at the Roma Street railway station. The squad has operational teams at Roma Street railway station and four satellite locations (known as outposts) at Beenleigh, Petrie, Manly and Redbank railway stations. There is no specific approved staffing strength at these outposts as they are annexes of the main Roma Street office where all members are officially stationed. The Minister for Transport and I recently announced an increase of 10 additional police officer positions for the Railway Squad. Five of these additional positions were recently allocated, bringing the approved squad strength to 59 sworn members. The remaining five will be allocated in the 2011/12 financial year, which will bring the squad’s strength to 64 officers. The staffing model for the Railway Squad includes five non-operational positions (Officer- in-Charge, Tactician, Intelligence Officers and a Crime Prevention Coordinator) as well as a dedicated Firearms and Explosive Detection Dog Handler.

    2014 NRL Year Book

    NRL Referees Col Pearce Medal 2014 WELCOME Welcome to the 2014, 11th annual awarding of refereeing’s most prestigious prize, the Col Pearce Medal, which occurs at the culmination of the closest NRL season in history. As we are all aware, the closer any competition is, the greater the level of scrutiny on match officials and their performances. This season has been no different. The start of the season witnessed a new manager of the squad with Daniel Anderson moving to take up an opportunity as the General Manager of Football at Parramatta. As with any change of leadership this brings some level of apprehension and concern. All officials should be very proud of their efforts, dedication and commitment to the season. At the season launch early this year, I spoke about these qualities and I am confident to say that those in the squad delivered on them. For that I thank you. No official is successful without the wonderful support of their family and close friends. I thank all the partners for the support in the endless hours that the referees were away from home. Additionally, for those times when they were at home but distracted by the demands of officiating at the elite level. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my staff for their unbelievable support and hard work throughout the season. Your contribution to the success of the squad this year is immeasurable. As in any season, individuals and the group have had highs and lows but one of the most significant improvements was the level of support that the NRL Referee squad received from the NRL hierarchy including Nathan McGuirk, Todd Greenberg and Dave Smith as well as the NRL Commission.

The PFA has again partnered with Australian football statistician Andrew Howe to update the data for the fourth FFA Cup and introduce new analyses of crowds and player movements between A-League and NPL clubs. The FFA Cup has captured Australia’s imagination by creating a footprint that is truly national in its breadth and uniquely inclusive in its depth. As discussions advance regarding the urgent need to expand the professional footprint in Australia, the FFA Cup provides a valuable touchstone when approaching the logistical, architectural and geographical questions that need to be asked. We believe it is therefore critical to produce research such as this to ensure future discourse is supported by data and evidence. The PFA believes a better-informed game leads to more impactful football education, analysis and decision-making.

This paper investigates this transformation by reviewing policies, projects and programs arising from GCCC visions of a healthy city benefiting from knowledge based urban development (KBUD) (Yigitcanlar et al., 2008). Secondly, the paper aims to identify opportunities and challenges in developing the emerging cosmopolitan city as a knowledge and healthy city. The paper focuses not only on larger knowledge and health nodes along major highways but also investigates the potential for developing a network of smaller nodes with active transport, thus providing a more holistic and integrated perspective for long term sustainability of the city and region. Design/methodology/approach – The research is based on documentary research of secondary materials such as government policy documents and plans relating to economic development, major infrastructure projects, urban design and community planning. The documentary research is supplemented by spatial analysis including field visits to the major and minor knowledge/health nodes in their urban/suburban contexts.

    HSBC WORLD RUGBY SEVENS SERIES 2019 Sydney Notes ! This will be the first time the HSBC Sydney Sevens has been played at Spotless Stadium after relocating from Allianz Stadium due to its redevelopment. ! Spotless Stadium becomes the sixth different venue to be used in Australia after Lang Park and Ballymore hosted the event in Brisbane between 2000-03, Adelaide Oval between 2007-11, Robina Stadium between 2011- 14 and Allianz Stadium for the past three years. ! Spotless Stadium was opened in 1998 after being constructed as part of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games development at Homebush. It hosted the baseball, horse-riding and the modern pentathlon events during the Games. ! More recently it has been home to the Greater Western Sydney Giants in the AFL, the Western Sydney Wanders in soccer’s A-League and the Sydney Thunder in cricket’s Big Bash League. ! Australia are the defending champions in Sydney and are looking to become the first team since Fiji five years ago to successfully defend their Cup title at home. ! Only two teams have gone back-to-back in Australia with South Africa winning in Adelaide in 2008-09 and Fiji winning on the Gold Coast in 2011-12. ! The record for most tournament tries scored in Sydney is 268, set in 2016, while the record for an HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series event in Australia is 284 tries set in Adelaide in 2011 and on the Gold Coast in 2014. ! The tournament average so far this season has been 281 tries, with Cape Town top scoring with 293 tries.

This is the Gold Coast’s first experience in hosting a mega-event, which means there is a knowledge gap about how the business community can benefit. Understanding the key macro factors surrounding the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) is crucial for the Gold Coast business community, especially for those operating small and medium private enterprises. There will inevitably be disruption confronting business as a consequence of GC2018, but as the detailed analysis in this report makes clear, the scope for the Gold Coast business community to leverage opportunities from GC2018 is tangible and significant. Based on interviews and a review of previous studies of major sporting mega-events, this report assesses the impact and legacy of GC2018. Most importantly, it outlines a roadmap for Gold Coast businesses to take advantage of the once-in-a- generation opportunities that will flow from the Games.
