  • Queensland Minerals 2016 Appendix 1
    Appendix 1 Summary reports for operating mines in Queensland The following section presents detailed information for each of Queensland’s significant operating mines. Mineral deposits are presented in alphabetic order. Each mineral deposit report contains information about the location, commodities, size classification, production, resources/reserves, mining styles, tenures, host rocks, mineral deposit models, mineralisation ages and other comments. The resource information recorded does not duplicate resources documented as reserves or under any other resource classification. For example, if a published ‘measured, indicated and inferred resource’ includes the ‘proved and probable ore reserves’, these reserves are not recorded. However, if published reserves are in addition to the published resources they are recorded separately. Open file information sources such as company annual reports, quarterly reports and stock exchange announcements have been used, where available, to ensure current information is captured. Most resource and reserve figures are in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC code), which is included as Appendix 9. Some older resource figures are not in accordance with the JORC code. Individual summary reports indicate whether or not the resource and reserve figures are JORC compliant. All sources used are referenced wherever possible. Queensland Minerals 2016 Queensland Minerals A Summary of Major Mineral Resources, Mines and Projects, 2016

MACROSSAN STREET - STATE ROAD DESIGNATION REPORT AUTHOR Michael Kriedemann, Executive Manager Infrastructure MANAGER Mark Stoermer, Chief Executive Officer DEPARTMENT Infrastructure RECOMMENDATION That Council resolves to: 1. Support the concept of Council ownership of Macrossan Street - Port Douglas, between Wharf and Davidson Streets; 2. Delegates authority under section 257 of the Local Government Act 2009 to the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and finalise the transfer of ownership of Macrossan Street with the Queensland Department of Transport & Main Roads.

  • Gran Foodo - She Spoke Style
    Gran Foodo - She Spoke Style. By Kachina Cullen Always keen to keep the wheels turning after starting my riding journey earlier this year, and mostly because I have been bitten by the cycling bug, I eagerly signed up for a fun weekend with the She Spoke Cairns girls as part of the Atherton Bikefest. A weekend of fun celebrating cycling for the whole community to participate, enjoy and just have fun. The Atherton Bikefest coincides with Tastes of the Tablelands and is a great weekend away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There is so many events to choose from for the whole family it’s hard to decide. One of the many highlights over the weekend is the Gran Foodo. You have the option of riding 50km or 100km, eating and repeating. Who wouldn’t want to spend a day of riding, eating and repeating whilst soaking up the beautiful countryside of the Atherton Tablelands with a great group of friends! I didn’t really know what the ride entailed, but I knew it involved riding and food over 50km or 100km options. I was sold. Counting down the days, like a little kid waiting for their birthday or Christmas, I kept updated on the event as it drew closer and I was super keen to know where we would be riding. The moment the map of our route was uploaded I cried. (Not literally). Hills, hills and more hills. Hills are a weakness of mine that I am still trying to own, and I hoped I had the mental strength to conquer & own them.
