    WAGGAMBA SHIRE HANDBOOK An Inventory of the Agricultural Resources and Production of Waggamba Shire, Queensland. Queensland Department of Primary Industries Brisbane, December 1980. WAGGAMBA SHIRE HANDBOOK An Inventory of the Agricultural Resources and Production ofWaggamba Shire, Queensland. Compiled by: J. Bourne, Extension Officer, Toowoomba Edited by: P. Lloyd, Extension Officer, Brisbane Published by: Queensland Department of Primary Industries Brisbane December, 1980. ISBN 0-7242-1752-5 FOREWORD The Shire Handbook was conceived in the mid-1960s. A limited number of a series was printed for use by officers of the Department of Primary Industries to assist them in their planning of research and extension programmes. The Handbooks created wide interest and, in response to public demand, it was decided to publish progressively a new updated series. This volume is one of the new series. Shire Handbooks review, in some detail, the environmental and natural resources which affect farm production and people in the particular Shire. Climate, geology, topography, water resources, soil and vegetation are described. Farming systems are discussed, animal and crop production reviewed and yields and turnoff quantified. The economics of component industries are studied. The text is supported liberally by maps and statistical tables. Shire Handbooks provide important reference material for all concerned with rural industries and rural Queensland. * They serve as a guide to farmers and graziers, bankers, stock and station agents and those in agricultural business. * Provide essential information for regional planners, developers and environmental impact students. * Are a very useful reference for teachers at all levels of education and deserve a place in most libraries.

  • The Stanthorpe Water Supply Story
    Supplying over 5000 people with water when the dam runs dry - the Stanthorpe water supply story Seren McKenzie Southern Downs Regional Council Abstract: Stanthorpe is a town in southern Queensland in the local government area of Southern Downs Regional Council. Stanthorpe has a stand alone water supply (ie, no connectivity to any water grids) and the over 5000 residents are supplied by Storm King Dam. The capacity of Storm King Dam is just over 2000 ML and the Dam has never run dry in over 60 years, albeit it has come close. Stanthorpe itself does not have a high population growth however is a tourist town and does accommodate a high transient population due to the nature of the horticulture and agriculture businesses in the region. Following years of low to zero rainfall and intense drought coupled with another failed wet season in 2018/19, it became clear to Council that Storm King Dam was going to run dry before the next wet season and actions needed to be taken to ensure ongoing water supply for Stanthorpe. It was too late to plan and build a pipeline from Warwick, some 60 kms away, and Council was not financially resourced for such a project. Working closely with the State Government and consultants and contractors, Council was able to deliver a solution by trucking water from Warwick to new water tanks at Storm King Dam. The total project value is valued at around $15 million with $2.6 million in capital works and the remainder in the carting of the water through to February 2021 (if required).
