  • Queensland Rail's History
    History Our beginnings “Be that as it may, we, in common with the whole community, hail with pleasure the inauguration of the Railway in Queensland.” (Brisbane Courier, Monday , July 24, 1865.) The world of the 1860’s was a time of great social and technological change. In July 1865 the first section of railway line in Queensland was opened,with a great fanfare of publicity, to traffic from Ipswich to Bigges Camp, a distance of twenty-one miles (thirty-five kilometres). Bigges Camp (now known as Grandchester), marked the end of the comparatively easy first stretch of line. Queensland was faced by a situation where economic development was hampered by the lack of an adequate transport network. In developed countries, railways had been introduced to areas where there was already a substantial road network, even if primitive by today’s standards. This was not so in Queensland. Since the fastest road travel was only the fraction of the speed of even slow railway travel, it was natural to consider the possibility of a young colony leaping over road development and investing most of its resources in railways. The role of the railway in Queensland was to be the development of the country. This was to mean that railways would often be built into rural areas in advance of settlement and lead to the establishment of railway towns, towns which did not exist before the advent of the railway and which were often heavily dependent on the railway for their economic base. The engineer Abraham Fitzgibbon was brought to Queensland in 1863 and offered the Queensland government a radical engineering solution.

  • Land Valuations Overview: Maranoa Regional Council
    Land valuations overview: Maranoa Regional Council On 31 March 2021, the Valuer-General released land valuations for 6,784 properties with a total value of $2,892,915,352 in the Maranoa Regional Council area. The valuations reflect land values at 1 October 2020 and show that the Maranoa region has increased by 31.5 per cent overall since the last valuation in 2018. Rural land values have increased significantly due to the strength in beef commodity prices as well as a low interest rate environment. Urban land values have generally reduced across Maranoa region, which reflects the continued decline of small rural towns and the gas infrastructure phase transitioning to production. Inspect the land valuation display listing View the valuation display listing for Maranoa Regional Council online at www.qld.gov.au/landvaluation or visit the Department of Resources, 25 Quintin Street, Roma. Detailed valuation data for Maranoa Regional Council Valuations were last issued in the Maranoa Regional Council area in 2018.
