Question on Notice No. 1153 Asked on 21 August 2019 MR E Question on Notice No. 1153 Asked on 21 August 2019 MR E SORENSEN ASKED DEPUTY PREMIER, TREASURER AND MINISTER FOR ABORIGINAL AND TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER PARTNERSHIPS (HON J TRAD)— QUESTION: With reference to the government not signing the Hinkler Regional Deal because it was quoted that the Maryborough Electorate was not included in the deal— Will the Deputy Premier advise all suburbs of the Maryborough Electorate that are in the Hinkler Federal Electorate, listing them separately? ANSWER: The Australian Government announced the proposed Hinkler Regional Deal in November last year, based on the boundaries of the Hinkler Federal Electorate. This incorporates part, but not all, of the Fraser Coast Regional Council and Bundaberg Regional Council local government areas. I am advised that no other city or regional deal in Australia is based on a federal electorate boundary. Since the Regional Deal was announced, the Queensland Government has consistently expressed the view that the deal should include the totality of both local government areas or be expanded to encompass the broader Wide Bay Burnett region. I communicated this formally to the responsible federal Minister in November 2018 and again in February 2019. The Queensland Government has taken this view because the proposed boundaries mean the Regional Deal excludes key economic drivers in the region, including: • The town of Maryborough, which is a key regional centre and home to an emerging manufacturing hub with businesses like Downer EDI Rail, Hyne Timber and Select Patient Care. Maryborough will also be home to the newly formed joint venture Rheinmetall Nioa Munitions’ shell forging plant. • Fraser Island, which is the world’s largest sand island, is a key driver of the local tourism economy, but is outside the Hinkler Federal Electorate. It also has a UNESCO World Heritage Listing. • The majority of the Bundaberg State Development Area, which represents a long-term strategic economic opportunity for the entire region. These areas present enormous economic opportunities and the Queensland Government cannot support a deal that deliberately excludes these areas, particularly when the Australian Government is suggesting the deal is about supporting jobs in the local community. Despite our best efforts to work with the Australian Government to resolve the deal boundary, the Australian Government has refused to compromise and negotiate on the issue. I therefore wrote to the Deputy Prime Minister on 7 August 2019 confirming the Queensland Government will not sign-up to the proposed Hinkler Regional Deal. Importantly, I have also confirmed the Queensland Government will not stand in the way of the federal investments announced under the deal. I have instructed officers from Queensland Treasury to work with federal officials to make the necessary arrangements to ensure the flow through of funds to both local governments for the announced deal-related projects. Maps of the Maryborough state electorate can be found on the Queensland Electoral Commission website, and maps of the Hinkler Federal Electorate can be found on the Australian Electoral Commission website. I note that while 24 Maryborough suburbs are wholly within Hinkler, 48 Maryborough suburbs and localities – including the Maryborough city centre itself – are wholly outside of Hinkler and are thus disadvantaged by the “hard boundary” sought by the Federal Government for the Hinkler Regional Deal. These are: • Antigua, Aramara, Beaver Rock, Bidwill, Boompa, Boonooroo, Boonooroo Plains, Brooweena, Calgoa, Doongul, Dunmora Ferney, Gigoomgan, Glenbar, Glenorchy, Grahams Creek, Granville, Gungaloon, Island Plantation, Maaroom, Magnolia, Malarga, Marodian, Maryborough, Maryborough West, Mount Urah, Mungar, North Aramara, Oakhurst, Owanyilla, Pilerwa, Pioneers Rest, Poona, St Helens, St Mary, Teddington, Teebar, The Dimonds, Thinoomba, Tiaro, Tinana, Tinana South, Tinnanbar, Tuan, Tuan Forest, Woocoo, Yengarie, Yerra. .

  • Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
    ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast.

  • Fraser Island and the Great Sandy Region (Australia)
    WORLD HERITAGE NOMINATION - IUCN SUMMARY 630: FRASER ISLAND AND THE GREAT SANDY REGION (AUSTRALIA) Summary prepared by WCMC/IUCN (March 1992) based on the original and the revised nomination submitted by the Government of Australia. This original and all documents presented in support of this nomination will be available for consultation at the meetings of the Bureau and the Committee. 1. LOCATION On the south-eastern coast of Queensland. Fraser Island and the mainland Cooloola sand mass together make up part of the Great Sandy region. 2. JURIDICAL DATA In 1860 the whole of Fraser Island was gazetted as an Aboriginal reserve. Cooloola was declared a forestry reserve in 1881. After the Aborigines were removed from Fraser Island, the remnant Aboriginal reserve was revoked in 1906. In 1908 the central part of Fraser Island was declared a forestry reserve, and by 1925 most of the island had been set aside as state forest. The land is under state, federal and private tenure. 3. IDENTIFICATION Covering approximately 239,OOOha the major geological elements of the region are the sandmasses of Fraser Island and Cooloola. Fraser Island is 122km long, 5-25km wide and reaches 235m, the depth of the sand extending 30-60m below present sea level. Dunes on Cooloola reach 260m, cover 40km of coastline and extend 1 Okm inland. Notable features are the sandmass aquifers, the dune lakes, the Noosa River system and associated plains lakes. The closed forests of Fraser Island and Cooloola, covering some 10,500ha of high dunes, largely distinguish these sandmasses. Aboriginal people are thought to have first occupied the region about 40,000 years ago.

  • Great Sandy Strait — a Wetland of International Significance Great Sandy Strait (Which Includes Tin Can Bay) Is a Wetland of International Significance
    Great Sandy Strait — A Wetland of International Significance Great Sandy Strait (which includes Tin Can Bay) is a Wetland of International Significance. It was inscribed as Ramsar site 992 in 1999. Its 93,160 ha includes marine, estuarine and intertidal wetlands and salt pans. The intertidal wetland habitats consist of: 15,500 ha of mangrove forests, 12,300 ha of intertidal and subtidal seagrass beds, 2,800 ha of saltmarshes, unvegetated mud, sand and salt flats, and estuarine and channel waters of varying depth and width. The main freshwater wetland types are Melaleuca swamp forest and other palustrine wetlands. It is a very special place deserving the highest level of protection. The Draft Great Sandy Marine Park Zoning offered it little extra protection. Located between the mainland and Fraser Island, Great leatherback turtles.
