    Queensland Arts Council Strategic Plan, 2001-2003

    ARTS FACILITATION AND CREATIVE COMMUNITY CULTURE: A STUDY OF QUEENSLAND ARTS COUNCIL by Michael John Richards ADVA, MA. Submitted to the Faculty of Creative Industries at Queensland University of Technology, in support of an application for admission to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, January 2005. 1 LIST OF KEYWORDS Civil Society Community Arts Community Cultural Development Community Revitalisation Community Engagement Creative Class Creative Industries Cultural Industries Cultural Policy Excellence Elite(s) Knowledge Class Meritocracy Regional Arts 2 ABSTRACT This thesis adopts a Cultural Industries framework to examine how Queensland’s arts council network has, through the provision of arts products and services, contributed to the vitality, health and sustainability of Queensland’s regional communities. It charts the history of the network, its configuration and impact since 1961, with particular focus on the years 2001 - 2004, envisages future trends, and provides an analysis of key issues which may be used to guide future policies and programs. Analysis is guided by a Cultural Industries understanding of the arts embedded in everyday life, and views the arts as a range of activities which, by virtue of their aesthetic and symbolic dimensions, enhance human existence through their impact on both the quality and style of human life. Benefits include enhanced leisure and entertainment options, and educational, social, health, personal growth, and economic outcomes, and other indirect benefits which enrich environment and lifestyle. Queensland Arts Council (QAC) and its network of branches has been a dominant factor in the evolution of Queensland’s cultural environment since the middle of the 20th century. Across the state, branches became the public face of the arts, drove cultural agendas, initiated and managed activities, advised governments, wrote cultural policies, lobbied, raised funds and laboured to realise cultural facilities and infrastructure.

    Local Disaster Management Plan (LDMP) Has Been Prepared to Ensure There Is a Consistant Approach to Diaster Management in the Livingstone Shire

    F Document Set ID: 8554803 Version: 1, Version Date: 17/09/2020 FOREWORD Foreword by the Chair, Andrew Ireland of the Livingstone Shire Local Disaster Management Group. The Livingstone Shire Local Disaster Management Plan (LDMP) has been prepared to ensure there is a consistant approach to Diaster Management in the Livingstone Shire. This plan is an important tool for managing potential disasters and is a demonstrated commitment towards enhancing the safety of the Livingstone Shire community. The plan identifies potential hazards and risks in the area, identifies steps to mitigate these risks and includes strategies to enact should a hazard impact and cause a disaster. This plan has been developed to be consistant with the Disaster Management Standards and Guidelines and importantly to intergrate into the Queensland Disaster Management Arrangements (QDMA). The primary focus is to help reduce the potential adverse effect of an event by conducting activities before, during or after to help reduce loss of human life, illness or injury to humans, property loss or damage, or damage to the environment. I am confident the LDMP provides a comprehensive framework for our community, and all residents and vistors to our region can feel secure that all agenices involved in the Livingstone Shire LDMP are dedicated and capable with a shared responsibility in disaster management. On behalf of the Livingstone Shire Local Disaster Management Group, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this important plan.

    Speech by Jason Costigan MEMBER FOR WHITSUNDAY Hansard Wednesday, 30 May 2012 MAIDEN SPEECH Mr COSTIGAN (Whitsunday—LNP) (4.08 pm): It gives me tremendous pleasure to rise as the first LNP member for Whitsunday, fulfilling my dream of representing a region that is very dear to my heart. First, though, I take this opportunity to congratulate the Speaker of the House on her historic appointment; the Premier, the Hon. Campbell Newman MP, on his historic election; and all members on their success in being part of the 54th Parliament. I look around the House and think back to 1865, when the foundation stone was laid—the same year that my great-great-grandfather came to Mackay as a pioneering police officer, having previously served as an officer of the Royal Irish Constabulary before arriving in Queensland. Pat Costigan served in Mackay and nearby Walkerston and by 1873 took up his posting as the first officer in charge at Nebo. Five generations later, there is still plenty of Nebo in my DNA. In fact, the Costigans have been in Queensland before there even was a Queensland, with William Costigan being part of that famous but ill-fated expedition to the north led by Edmund Kennedy way back in 1848, landing on the shores of Rockingham Bay north of present-day Cardwell. I come from humble stock in what used to be called the Brigalow Belt, well before the term ‘Bowen Basin’ became part of Queensland’s vernacular, with the emergence of the juggernaut that is now the coalmining industry in the Mackay-Whitsunday hinterland.

  • The Importance of Boundaries

    The Importance of Boundaries

    The importance of boundaries Colin Hughes Emeritus Professor of Politic Science, University of Queensland Research Paper 1 (November 2007) Democratic Audit of Australia Australian National University Canberra, ACT 0200 Australia http://democratic.audit.anu.edu.au The views expressed are the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Democratic Audit of Australia. If elections are to be thought fair, their outcomes should correspond as closely as possible to the inputs of voter preferences. A particular percentage of the votes counted for a party should produce close to the same percentage of the seats won by that party. Down that path lie the topics of partisan bias and proportional representation with multi-member electoral districts as the most common solution. But there is a second criterion of fairness which is that outcomes should correspond to the numbers of electors or people to be represented. That criterion is often called equality, and down that path lie the topics of malapportionment and enforced equality as a solution. The two criteria may not work in the same direction.1 In Australia the problem of equality has been debated mainly with respect to the dichotomy of town and country, ‘town’ usually meaning the State capital(s) which have been invariably by far the largest urban center in each State and ‘country’ the rest, though sometimes the larger provincial cities and towns get lumped in with their local metropolis. Should town voters have the same quantity of representation, measured by the number of electors in the electoral districts, as country voters? There has also been a sub-plot, which is what this paper is about, that concerns the existence of a small number of electoral districts spread over exceptionally large areas in which the population, and consequently the numbers of electors, is relatively thin on the ground and widely scattered.

    Lower Fitzroy River Infrastructure Project Draft Environmental Impact

    Appendix R Social impact assessment report Gladstone Area Water Board and SunWater Lower Fitzroy River Infrastructure Project Social Impact Assessment Report September 2014 Executive summary Project background The Lower Fitzroy River Infrastructure Project (Project) is the construction and operation of a raised Eden Bann Weir and construction and operation of Rookwood Weir on the Fitzroy River, Central Queensland to facilitate capture and storage of all high priority unallocated water (nominally 76,000 ML/a) in the Fitzroy system. The development of weir infrastructure (and associated works), the resultant storage of water (inundation of the river bed and banks) and the transfer of water between storages through ‘run of river’ methods on the Fitzroy River comprise the scope of the Project. Eden Bann Weir is an existing structure located at AMTD 141.2 km on the Fitzroy River, approximately 80 km upstream of Rockhampton. The current weir has a Full Supply Level (FSL) of 14.5 m (Stage 1). The Project proposes to raise the weir to a FSL of 18.2 m (Stage 2), with a subsequent addition of gates (Stage 3) which would raise the structure to FSL 20.2 m. The Rookwood Weir site is located at AMTD 265.3 km on the Fitzroy River, approximately 85 km south-west of Rockhampton. The Project proposes to construct a weir to a FSL 47 m (Stage 1). Addition of gates (Stage 2) would raise the structure to FSL 49.0 m. The order in which the proposed infrastructure would be developed is dependent on the demand and the consequent storage capacity and yield resulting from a particular build / stage.
