Legislative Assembly Hansard 1973 Queensland Parliamentary Debates [Hansard] Legislative Assembly THURSDAY, 6 DECEMBER 1973 Electronic reproduction of original hardcopy 2308 The Criminal Code, &c., Bill [6 DECEMBER 1973] Questions Upon Notice TIIURSDAY, 6 DECEMBER 1973 Mr. SPEAKER (Hon. W. H. Lonergan, Flinders) read prayers and took the chair at 11 a.m. PAPERS The following papers were laid on the table, and ordered to be printed:- Reports- Land Administration Commission, including Reports of the Surveyor­ General, Superintendent of Stock Routes and Rural Fires Board, for the year 1972-73. Department of Forestry, for the year 1972-73. State Electricity Commission of Queens­ land, for the year 1972-73. QUESTIONS UPON NOTICE TERMS OF WHEAT SALE TO EGYPT Mr. Houston, pursuant to notice, asked The Treasurer,- ( 1) Is he aware of the statement in The Courier-Mail of December 5 in which the Premier stated that the Commonwealth Government arranged the sale of wheat to Egypt against the wishes of the Wheat Board and that the growers would be responsible for losses? (2) As the Acting Minister for Primary Industries confirmed in his Answer to the Question by the Member for Toowoomba South on December 5 that the Common~ wealth Government would assume 75 per cent. of the risk and that the Wheat Board entered into agreements in 1971 to sell the wheat, will he correct the inaccurate and misleading statements of the Premier? Answers:- ( 1) "I have read the report to which the Honourable Member refers." (2) "I would suggest that he re-read both the Question asked by the Honour­ able Member for Toowoomba South and the Answer given thereto. I cannot see that such Answer confirms the assertions contained in the Question now being asked by the Honourable Leader of the Opposition. I would add that the point being made by the Honourable the Premier and the Acting Minister for Primary Industries is that as the Commonwealth had required the Australian Wheat Board to sell on credit terms instead of for cash, the Commonwealth should have been prepared to underwrite the total sales."

Integrated Planning Act 1997, section 6.1.54 (Provisions applying for State-controlled roads): The Minister for Local Government and Planning has given notice that Integrated Planning Act 1997, section 6.1.54 applies to the planning scheme. Accordingly, item 9 in Integrated Planning Regulation, schedule 2 applies for a referral for development that is not contiguous to a State-controlled road. The Planning Scheme and Native Title Issues – An Explanatory Note Torres Shire is unique among Queensland Local Government councils in that: Most of its population resides on islands off the northern tip of mainland Queensland; and It is the most northerly Australian local government and is geographically close to mainland Papua New Guinea; and Its population comprises primarily Indigenous Torres Strait Islanders and Aborigines and approximately 80% of the Shire’s land is subject to Native Title grant/claims.

  • Submission to the Torres Strait Region Inquiry
    TORRES SHIRE COUNCIL Submission to the Torres Strait Region Inquiry 1 Introduction The Shire of Torres comprises all of the State lying between latitude 11 degrees south and the international border with Papua New Guinea. The two newly amalgamated Councils, Torres Strait Island Regional Council (TSIRC) and Northern Peninsula Area Regional Council (NPARC), are located within the Shire area referred to above. TSIRC includes the 15 island communities of the Torres Strait with its administrative headquarters located in Thursday Island. NPARC includes 5 Cape York communities administered from Bamaga. The Torres Strait islands area covers 49,000 square kilometres. This includes the northernmost part of Cape York Peninsula, together with the inhabited inner islands (viz. Thursday, Horn, Prince of Wales, Friday Islands) and all uninhabited islands of Torres Strait. The Shire's administrative centre is located on Thursday Island, which provides the primary service centre for the region. Torres Shire is the only Australian local government which abuts an international border (Australia and Papua New Guinea) and is in close proximity to the Indonesian province of Irian Jaya. This alone places the people of the Shire in a unique part of the country. TORRES STRAIT The Torres Strait is divided into five major island clusters, the Top Western Group (Boigu, Dauan and Saibai), the Near Western Group (Badu, Mabuiag and Moa), the Central Group (Yam, Warraber, Coconut and Masig), the Eastern Group (Murray, Darnley and Stephen), and the TI Group (Thursday, Horn, Hammond, Prince of Wales and Friday). This also includes the five aboriginal and islander communities (Bamaga, Seisia, Injinoo, Umagico and New Mapoon), on the Northern Peninsula Area of Cape York.
