Opportunities in Tropical Science, Knowledge, Research and Innovation for Queensland Opportunities in tropical science, knowledge, research and innovation for Queensland THIS REPORT HAS BEEN PREPARED BY A QUEENSLAND GOVERNMENT INITIATIVE Dear Premier Please find attached the Smart State Council working group report on ‘Opportunities in Tropical Science, Knowledge, Research and Innovation for Queensland’. The report draws attention to emerging opportunities for knowledge-based industries focussed on the provision of food, health, building, environmental and education services to the tropical world. The report notes that Queensland’s R&D base and tropical location give us a huge competitive advantage in the development of these industries, but that capitalising on that advantage will require major efforts to coordinate and commercialise our research. Finally, the report outlines ways in which industry, research and government can work together to capture this opportunity for Queensland. I commend it to you.

The Smart State Council is chaired by the Premier of Queensland and comprises Government Ministers, the Queensland Chief Scientist and representatives from Queensland’s business and research communities. This paper was prepared by an independent working group for the Smart State Council. The views expressed in this paper are those of the group and do not represent Queensland Government policy. Smart State Council Working Group Opportunities in Tropical Science, Knowledge, Research and Innovation for Queensland ii Executive summary 1. The Opportunity Queensland has the opportunity to become a world leader in tropical know-how by servicing the increasingly sophisticated needs of rapidly developing tropical nations, while simultaneously improving the quality of life of Queenslanders and Australians living in the tropics. The increasing wealth and population growth in the tropical world and the likely environmental impacts of these trends is escalating demand for a range of goods and services such as health, environmental management, agriculture, urban renewal, and education. As one of the few developed regions within the tropics, Queensland is well placed to capitalise on this emerging global demand. The State has a mega-biodiverse environment, world-class capabilities and infrastructure in tropical knowledge, a modern economy, and is close to the rapidly growing Asia-Pacific region. Queensland has the opportunity to become an international centre in tropical research, knowledge and innovation, building industries that service the needs of tropical nations, and returning substantial economic gains to the State. Aside from the economic benefits, which would generate regional growth and employment in tropical Queensland, there would also be a range of environmental and social outcomes that would benefit Queenslanders living in the tropics and remote communities. There are substantial opportunities for Queensland in the application of research, knowledge and innovation to the basic needs of all tropical communities, but most importantly in the areas of: 1. enhancing tropical health expertise and capacity 2. maximising value from the environmental and cultural assets of tropical Queensland 3. transforming tropical primary industries 4. promoting and capitalising on tropical living and design 5. extending tropical knowledge and influence through education and capacity-building. Seizing these opportunities and developing a sustainable niche sector of the Queensland economy based on tropical knowledge and expertise requires: • coordinating and building on our tropical know-how • bringing our tropical know-how to market. Smart State Council Working Group Opportunities in Tropical Science, Knowledge, Research and Innovation for Queensland iii 2. Coordinating and building on our tropical know-how Queensland is recognised internationally for its tropical science skills, programs, and infrastructure. However, these resources and capabilities are fragmented, geographically dispersed and are not aligned to exploit the benefits and synergies that could be derived from critical mass. This situation could be remedied and a competitive niche advantage for Queensland could be built through coordination, networking and clustering of our capacity in the five areas of opportunity identified in the previous section. 2.1 Tropical health – There is potential to build on existing capacity in medicine, public health and veterinary science in Queensland. Opportunities for scientific discovery and commercialisation exist at the interface of human health and medicine with emerging zoonoses (diseases transmissible from animals to man), such as BSE, avian influenza, or leptospirosis. Strong partnerships and linkages could be formed with public health researchers across northern Australia and with internationally recognised expertise in the subtropics. 2.2 Tropical environmental sciences and management – Efforts to enhance critical mass, reduce duplication of research, attract significant funding to the region, and foster the development and commercialisation of specialist research and development (R&D) services for environmental outcomes would be highly beneficial to Queensland. Strategic alignment of the significant R&D capacity in environmental science and management in the State would provide the knowledge platform to foster industry engagement in ecosystems management of the developing tropical world. Opportunities would also exist to utilise Indigenous knowledge in the development of education, ecotourism, biodiscovery, and commercial ventures. 2.3 Tropical primary industries - Potential exists to better link the technological capacity and expertise in life sciences centred in South-East Queensland with the significant network of government supported research facilities and programs based in the north of the State. By smarter integration of the innovative outputs in tropical primary industries with real- world experience and field-based industry assessment, Queensland could capitalise on its status as a significant centre for agricultural biotechnology in the Asia Pacific region. 2.4 Tropical living – There are opportunities to coordinate Queensland’s capacity and scientific knowledge in tropical living across a wide range of interconnected fields, including environmental science, health, planning, urban renewal, building design, and environmental design. Such coordination could place Queensland in a unique position to encourage and promote a substantial export industry based on urban renewal of mega- cities in the developing tropical world through integrated solutions. Smart State Council Working Group Opportunities in Tropical Science, Knowledge, Research and Innovation for Queensland iv 2.5 Tropical education - Strategic, tailored, and coordinated education services of specific interest to the tropical world could be developed by better coordination of education services in tropical science, knowledge, research and innovation. A more strategic approach to deliver Queensland-based education programs could lead to increased employment opportunities through growth of the tropical science knowledge industry, international recognition of Queensland as a centre of excellence in tropical science, and ultimately, strong ties and mutually beneficial relationships between our State and the future leaders of the tropical world. 3. From opportunities to markets Queensland has a poor record in commercialising and marketing products, services and intellectual property to support the development of industries based on tropical know-how. Effective management, financing, and marketing of the areas of opportunity outlined above would create a sustainable

  • Far North Queensland
    etropic 8 (2009): Flick, Caltabiano, & Bentrupperbaumer, Far North Queensland Far North Queensland Flick, Brigitta1, Nerina Caltabiano2, Joan Bentrupperbäumer3 Department of Psychology, James Cook University, PO Box 6811, Cairns QLD 4879, Australia, [email protected],1 Department of Psychology, James Cook University , [email protected],2 School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, James Cook University, [email protected] ABSTRACT Landowners (100 males and 21 females) within the catchment of the Great Barrier Reef Lagoon located between the Barron and the South Johnstone Rivers responded to a postal survey assessing attitudes towards their streamside forests. 121 useable questionnaires were used to identify the underlying components within landowner's attitudes. Factor analysis revealed two components, namely, awareness of human impact on local streamside forest, and appreciation of environmental benefits and functions of streamside forest. Only factor 2, appreciation of environment benefits and functions of streamside forest, was found to significantly predict good streamside forest management practices as self-reported by landowners. There is a need to understand the human impact on streamside zones. Far North Queensland is an area of global biological significance. It contains two World Heritage areas that were listed based on natural attributes alone and fulfilled all four World Heritage criteria. The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) was declared World Heritage in 1981 and the Wet Tropics in 1988 (World Heritage List, 2009) . The lowlands of the GBR Catchment in the study area are comprised almost entirely of private land that is largely farmed and urbanised. In the course of time since European settlement much of the native vegetation was cleared, especially the streamside forests were diminished or destroyed (Productivity Commission, 2003).

  • We Would Rather Be Ruined Than Changed We Would Rather Die in Our Dread Than Climb the Cross of the Moment and Let Our Illusions Die W.H
    SOME EARLY ILLUSIONS CONCERNING NORTH QUEENSLAND Ray Sumner Department of Geography James Cook University of North Queensland We would rather be ruined than changed We would rather die in our dread Than climb the cross of the moment And let our illusions die W.H. Auden Our assessment of any landscape results as much from how we view it as from the reality of what is actually there. As Brookfield said "decision makers operating in an environment base their decisions on the environ- ment as they perceive it, not as it is". 1 The Europeans who explored tropical Queensland entered an unknown land which they were required to examine and then offer an assessment of its potential. Since the environment confronted the explorers with a situation of complete uncertainty, a subjective error component was inevitable in their description and analysis, but in fact their reaction to the new environment was affected by what they wanted to see, or thought they saw, as much as by what was actually there. The image of new country recounted by each explorer resulted largely from his response to visual stimuli in the new environment. Since observation and interpretation are enhanced by some degree of familiarity, a history of prior exploration in the south might be expected to improve the performance of explorers in the Tropics, but this was no criterion for an objective appraisal of the new areas. After three successful journeys of exploration in southern states, the Surveyor-General Major (later Sir) Thomas Mitchell concluded his trip to central Queensland with a spectacular blunder; Edmund Kennedy had a background of inland journeys, but died in a disastrous attempt on Cape York.

  • Introduction
    Submission to the Joint Select Committee on Northern Australia James Cook University March 2014 Introduction James Cook University (JCU) welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Joint Select Committee on Northern Australia. JCU is Australia’s leading university in the tropics with an explicit (legislated) focus on education and research addressing the opportunities and critical challenges facing natural and human systems in the tropics, world-wide. Northern Australian is a vast natural and cultural asset of global significance. There are exciting opportunities to build on the north’s economic foundations of mining, tourism and agriculture through dynamic development and leveraging of smart technologies, place-based tropical expertise and by building economic, research and educational links with Asia Pacific and the tropical world, to develop a spectrum of products, technologies, processes and services. At the same time, though, it is important to be mindful of the fact that there are significant climatic, environmental, physical and economic constraints in northern Australia, as well as a history of overblown claims about its potential that underestimate or misrepresent these environmental, climatic and logistical realities. Universities and research institutions in the north are major employers in their own right and their operations have significant local impact. Institutions with substantial footprints and deep networks in northern Australia such as JCU have a critical role in developing the region through: Human capital
