  • Social Infrastructure Strategic Plan
    Nnpcr ^u.:^ Uric: ^2^ ` to - l-0 Member : Mvs Cam. tiwU11.5" Tabled Tabled, by leave Incorporated, Remainder incorporated, by leave by leave Clerk at the Table: Z Social Infrastructure Strategic Plan Queensland Government GLADSTONE REGIONAL COUNCIL Contents Foreword As Mayor of Gladstone Regional Council, I am proud to be a partner in the development of the Social Infrastructure Strategic Plan for the Gladstone region. The results of this extensive research and planning work have already delivered value to Council in terms of guiding current community planning activities. Adequate planning for social infrastructure and services is fundamental to managing growth. The development of the Gladstone Region Social Infrastructure - Voluntary Industry Contributions Framework will enable companies to channel funds to the areas of need as determined by a thorough analysis of the existing social infrastructure capital base, the impacts of future growth on community facilities and services as well as feedback through community engagement. I fully support the Queensland Government's proposal to establish the Gladstone Foundation as a regionally based pooled industry fund - it is essential to the successful implementation of the Social Infrastructure Strategic Plan. I urge major companies to get behind the proposed Gladstone Foundation and help to implement these important investment priorities in social infrastructure across the region. The Gladstone Region Social Infrastructure - Voluntary Industry Contributions Framework will ensure a strong and strategic structure is in place to guide industry investment in social infrastructure. The preparation of this Framework is essentially the beginning of a process - it is a "living" document and one which requires continuous update and review to ensure industry funds are directed to areas which deliver maximum benefits to the community.

  • Gladstone Region Population Report, 2016
    Queensland Government Statistician’s Office Gladstone region population report, 2016 Introduction The Gladstone region population report, 2016 provides estimates of Figure 1 Gladstone region the non-resident population of the Gladstone region during the last week of June 2016, based on surveys conducted by Queensland Government Statistician’s Office (QGSO). Information regarding the supply and take-up of commercial accommodation by non-resident workers is also summarised. The non-resident population represents the number of fly-in/fly-out and drive-in/drive-out (FIFO/DIDO) workers who were on-shift in the region at the time of collection. This group includes those involved in the production, construction, and maintenance of mining and gas industry operations, projects and related infrastructure. Non-resident workers are not included in estimated resident population (ERP) data released annually by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. As a result, the full–time equivalent (FTE) population estimates presented in this report, which combine the resident and non-resident populations, provide a more complete indicator of total demand for certain services than either measure used alone. Key findings Key findings of this report include: The non-resident population of the Gladstone region was The Gladstone region – at a glance estimated at 1,540 persons at the end of June 2016, around 3,890 persons or 72% lower than in June 2015. The Gladstone region comprises the local government area (LGA) of Gladstone (R), which Gladstone region's non-resident population in 2015–16 largely includes the city and port of Gladstone, as well as comprised FIFO/DIDO workers engaged in construction of three other residential centres and the rural hinterland.

  • Extreme Weather Event Contingency Plan Gladstone Region – 2020/2021
    Extreme Weather Event Contingency Plan Gladstone Region – 2020/2021 incorporating Mary River, Hervey Bay, Tin Can Bay, Bundaberg, Gladstone, Port Alma, Fitzroy River and Rosslyn Bay Introduction Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) is an agency of the Dept. of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) which works closely and cooperatively with the disaster management agencies, the industry and community on both a State wide and local basis. The recent extreme weather events throughout Queensland have highlighted the need for awareness and vigilance to the risks such events present to the maritime community. MSQ’s core focus is on the preservation of life and property on the State’s waters and in the prevention/response to ship-based pollution. Aligning itself with the MSQ mantra of 'safer and cleaner seas'. The extreme weather events of recent seasons have highlighted the need for awareness and vigilance to the risks such events present to maritime operations. MSQ has built on these recent experiences and is reissuing its contingency plans as one way of ensuring stronger resilience within the maritime community. Timely awareness and adequate preparation will reduce the impact of such events. This extreme weather event contingency plan for Gladstone Region sets out the broad framework that will apply for this region. MSQ takes advice on developing weather situations from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) which is the government’s primary source of weather intelligence. The Gladstone Region encompasses the area of the coast and waterways from St Lawrence in the North to Double Island Point in the South. The Region includes the Ports of Gladstone, Port Alma and Bundaberg, all boat harbours and marinas and includes all navigable rivers, creeks and streams as well as off shore islands within Queensland jurisdiction.

I understand the proposal and offer my support for this development application for the following reasons: Insert your points here I have been looking for something like this in the region but there is nothing available, I am selling up on the sunshine coast to move back to the Gladstone area to be closer to my daughter & her family after the untimely death of my husband earlier this year. A resort style retirement facility like this would suit me & the family could have peace of mind that I am in a safe environment. It would also keep many older & retiring people in the region where at the moment most of the Gladstone older folk live mostly in the Bundaberg area, retaining this part of the population has to be good for the townships as they have more disposable income to spend, that would be of enormous benefit for the whole area & would keep a more balanced population. This facility would provide employment across the board ie., shops, eateries, coffee shops etc etc. Thank you for including my support in your considerations and I trust you will agree that this development is desperately needed and ideally located within the Gladstone Region.

  • Queensland Geological Framework
    Geological framework (Compiled by I.W. Withnall & L.C. Cranfield) The geological framework outlined here provides a basic overview of the geology of Queensland and draws particularly on work completed by Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of Queensland. Queensland contains mineralisation in rocks as old as Proterozoic (~1880Ma) and in Holocene sediments, with world-class mineral deposits as diverse as Proterozoic sediment-hosted base metals and Holocene age dune silica sand. Potential exists for significant mineral discoveries in a range of deposit styles, particularly from exploration under Mesozoic age shallow sedimentary cover fringing prospective older terranes. The geology of Queensland is divided into three main structural divisions: the Proterozoic North Australian Craton in the north-west and north, the Paleozoic–Mesozoic Tasman Orogen (including the intracratonic Permian to Triassic Bowen and Galilee Basins) in the east, and overlapping Mesozoic rocks of the Great Australian Basin (Figure 1). The structural framework of Queensland has recently been revised in conjunction with production of a new 1:2 million-scale geological map of Queensland (Geological Survey of Queensland, 2012), and also the volume on the geology of Queensland (Withnall & others, 2013). In some cases the divisions have been renamed. Because updating of records in the Mineral Occurrence database—and therefore the data sheets that accompany this product—has not been completed, the old nomenclature as shown in Figure 1 is retained here, but the changes are indicated in the discussion below. North Australian Craton Proterozoic rocks crop out in north-west Queensland in the Mount Isa Province as well as the McArthur and South Nicholson Basins and in the north as the Etheridge Province in the Georgetown, Yambo and Coen Inliers and Savannah Province in the Coen Inlier.
