Business - provider partnerships numbers and growth In the past business - provider partnerships for trainiug in the water sector have been adhocand there has been little national coordination. Moreover, at the start of this project there were or~lytwo examples of a business - provider partnership for e-learning in the water industry in Australia. These were: a relationship between Wide Bay Water and Sunwater for water worker training and a preliminary arrangement between Wide Bay TAFE and Wide Bay Water to provide on-line training services to other Councils. The collaborative model of industry sector long-term funding has already (in the first three months) resulted in an increase in the number of relationships through two mechanisms. These are: new partnerships as a direct result of the project, and negotiation of partnerships with other RTOs through leverage provided by the project. Two new partnerships have arisen as a result of the industry funding. -

Bridge & Culvert Restrictions for Category 1 Special Purpose Vehicles
Bridge & Culvert Restrictions for Category 1 Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) - September 2021 Legend Structure ID – The unique structure number of each bridge or culvert on the state road network. Structure type – Structures may be a bridge or a culvert. Structure name – The name of the structure. Culverts may be unnamed. The same bridge name may apply to two structure IDs when they are separate structures on the left and right side of the same road. Road ID – The unique number of the state road on which the structure is located. Road name – The State Government name of the road. The name may differ from the local council name for a section of the road. Restriction – A ‘CANNOT CROSS’ restriction is a vulnerable structure that is highly unlikely to be approved for a single trip permit. A ‘SINGLE TRIP’ structure is a less vulnerable and cannot be crossed unless a single trip permit is issued for the class 1 SPV for the desired route across the structure. Region – The region that corresponds to the Main Roads district maps. Latitude – The latitude map coordinate for the structure. It can be used in combination with the longitude to locate the structure using GPS or mapping tools. The structure will be in the correct vicinity but may not be exactly where the latitude and longitude display it depending on the accuracy of the map or mapping tool used. Longitude – The longitude map coordinate for the structure. It can be used in combination with the latitude to locate the structure using GPS or mapping tools. -
Comparison of Water-Energy Trajectories of Two Major Regions Experiencing Water Shortage
Comparison of water-energy trajectories of two major regions experiencing water shortage Ka Leung Lam, Paul A. Lant, Katherine R. O'Brien, and Steven J. Kenway* School of Chemical Engineering, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4072, Australia *Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Water shortage, increased demand and rising energy costs are major challenges for the water sector worldwide. Here we use a comparative case study to explore the long-term changes in the system-wide water and associated energy use in two different regions that encountered water shortage. In Australia, South East Queensland (SEQ) encountered a drought from 2001 to 2009, while Perth has experienced a decline in rainfall since the 1970s. This novel longitudinal study quantifies and compares the urban water consumption and the energy use of the water supply systems in SEQ and Perth during the period 2002 to 2014. Unlike hypothetical and long-term scenario studies, this comparative study quantifies actual changes in regional water consumption and associated energy, and explores the lessons learned from the two regions. In 2002, Perth had a similar per capita water consumption rate to SEQ and 48% higher per capita energy use in the water supply system. From 2002 to 2014, a strong effort of water conservation can be seen in SEQ during the drought, while Perth has been increasingly relying on seawater desalination. By 2014, even though the drought in SEQ had ended and the drying climate in Perth was continuing, the per capita water consumption in SEQ (266 L/p/d) was still 28% lower than that of Perth (368 L/p/d), while the per capita energy use in Perth (247 kWh/p/yr) had increased to almost five times that of SEQ (53 kWh/p/yr). -
Project Summary
SMART WATER FOR THE SMART STATE URANNAH DAM WATER FOR THE NEW MILLENIUM BOWEN COLLINSVILLE ENTERPRISE Project Executive Summary – Construction of Urannah Dam Urannah Dam – Smart Water for Queensland OPPORTUNITY The proposed Urannah Dam project offers Queensland the opportunity to showcase irrigation in the new millennium. Old irrigation practices and technologies like flood irrigation, over application, mass vegetation clearing, rising water tables and salinity represent Dumb Water. These have been replaced by new Smart Water techniques like trickle & centre pivot irrigation, mulching, agro forestry and water table management. The Urannah project can be a magnificent example of large scale sustainable irrigation – showcasing Smart Water …..efficient agricultural and irrigation practices for the new millennium. WHAT MAKES URANNAH DAM UNIQUE ? Low levels of water diversion in the catchment – currently Urannah’s catchment is only developed to 4% of available water flows – and after the construction of the dam this will rise to only 18%. Some areas of the Murray Darling Basin are trying to reduce allocation back to below 90% of available flows. Green field development – but in close proximity to existing industries – Urannah would be a Greenfield irrigation development, but is within 100km of the existing sugar industry in the Burdekin and Horticulture industry in Bowen – resulting in faster uptake of water by industry. Easy Organic Conversion – being a greenfield site used only for grazing purposes would enable land around Collinsville to be readily converted to certified organic status. Smart Water for Smart Farming. Wet Tropics water catchment – Dry Tropics agricultural area – the water that will be stored in Urannah comes from the wet tropics rain forest areas surrounding Eungella. -
