Chief Executive, Dr Kerrie Freeman advised there was an extraordinary amount of work being performed with clinics recording high numbers of people being tested. Dr Freeman advised the West Moreton Health service is well prepared and thanked all regional services for their support and information. 3 Minutes of Ordinary Meeting 26 August 2020 A reminder to our community that under the updated Movement and Gathering Public Health Direction, gatherings in homes and in public have been restricted to a maximum of 10 people in Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Scenic Rim, Somerset, Lockyer Valley, Moreton Bay Regions and Redlands. Cr Choat - Matters of public interest Today is International Dogs Day, and most of us have a pet dog or two, unless you have a permit. On a serious note we know that as a council we do have a lot of issues about people keeping dogs. Pay tribute to those pet owners in the Somerset region who take dog ownership seriously and are responsible in containing their dogs and look after their dogs, because at the end of the day a contained dog is a happy healthy safe dog. Cr Gaedtke - Matters of public interest The Electoral Commission of Queensland is making changes to prevent queues and allow for social distancing for the State Elections to be held in October. It is interesting to note that Queensland voters will be able to start voting from October 19, with about 200 early voting centres to be opened across the state. At the last election around 25% of Queenslanders lodged pre-poll votes and anther 700,000 voters chose to mail their votes, and more than a third didn’t turn up to polling booths on election day. The NAB has reduced the opening hours of 114 of its smaller branches across Queensland. The Esk branch will be one of those affected and will now only open to customers from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. No jobs will be lost as a result.

  • Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan
    Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan CONTROLLED COPY No._____ Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan Part 1 Main Plan and Annexes 1 Preliminaries Version 2.00 Aug 09 Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan 1. Preliminaries P1.01 Foreword from Chair of Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Group Somerset Regional is a dynamic area of the Brisbane Valley in South East Queensland which is experiencing moderate growth and despite its idyllic lifestyle the area is occasionally subjected to the impact of disasters both natural and non-natural. The Shire has a wide range of topography, changing demographics and diversified industries; therefore there is a need for a dynamic and robust Local Disaster Management Plan. This local disaster management plan, prepared by the Somerset Regional Local Disaster Management Group under the authority of the Disaster Management Act 2003, forms the basis and guidelines for the Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery activities of the joint agencies within the Somerset Regional Council area, when responding to a disaster that has impacted or has the potential to seriously impact upon the Shire’s communities and its infrastructure. Threat specific plans for the most likely threats such as flooding and emergency animal/plant disease have been developed along with supporting Operational Functional Plans. The plan is a dynamic document that will be kept up to date to match changes in legislation and reflect lessons learnt from natural disasters elsewhere in the State. Whilst as a community we may not be able to prevent disaster from occurring, we can through planning, prepare our community and enhance its resilience to the adverse impact of any threat.

  • Queensland Floods Commission of Enquiry ‘2011 Brisbane Floods – a Geography Lesson’
    Private Submission (Newton) Queensland Floods Commission of Enquiry ‘2011 Brisbane Floods – A Geography Lesson’ Introduction This is a private submission. Its scope is limited to the January 2011 floods that affected Brisbane, Ipswich, Toowoomba, and the Lockyer Valley. I have no qualifications in weather science or hydrology. While I do not have the status of a professional or an expert in that field, I also have no preconceived notions about it. That is in fact why I decided to write to you. I believe that input from ordinary citizens such as I can give a dynamic balance to your process. You will have access to many professional opinions from experts in the disciplines relevant to your enquiry’s Terms of Reference, and quite rightly their professional opinions will have considerable weight and influence. However, there is an increasing tendency to rely on computer ‘modelling’ to back up professional opinions. These models are designed to test scenarios involving multiple variables and they are useful. However, they are only as good as the facts and assumptions that underpin them. Their disadvantage, and hidden danger, is that they are abstract, and they can create blind spots whereby simple facts fail to be considered. I was also motivated to write this submission by some reports that appeared in the print and electronic media after the floods in Brisbane. The floods had barely receded before they started the ‘blame game’, with some turning their sights on the operators of Wivenhoe Dam. These reports generally lacked objectivity and balance and the result is that many ordinary people to whom I talk actually believe that the Brisbane floods were caused by water released from Wivenhoe Dam.
