The most comprehensive population count available in Australia is derived from the Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics every five years. However the Census count is NOT the official population of Rockhampton Region. To provide a more accurate population figure which is updated more frequently than every five years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics also produces "Estimated Resident Population" (ERP) numbers for Rockhampton Region.

  • 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.

    Office of the Inspector-General Emergency Management GPO Box 1425, Mail Cluster 15.7 BRISBANE, QLD 4001 [email protected] I agree to my submission being treated as outlined in the “Guide to providing submissions” on the IGEM website. Dear Office of the Inspector-General Emergency Management Review Team, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the 2018 Queensland Bushfires Review. This submission is made on behalf of the Queensland Conservation Council Inc. (QCC). QCC was established in 1969 and is the peak environment conservation organisation in Queensland, with some 50-member groups including ten regional councils, as well as thousands of supporters. We note that the review is focused on key preparedness and response elements for both bushfires and hot weather events, with scope to reflect on the heatwaves in Far North Queensland in November 2018. QCC recognises the tragedy of recent extreme weather events, with loss of life, extensive property damage and the loss of areas of the state’s natural heritage that will take hundreds of years to recover. The cumulative impacts of climate change, including unprecedented extreme temperatures and increased variability in rainfall that have led to the warming and drying of previously humid, subtropical areas1. Further information on this issue can be found in the Climate Council’s recent report Escalating Queensland Bushfire Threat: ​ Interim conclusions and Be prepared: Climate Change and the Queensland Bushfire threat. ​ ​ ​ The impacts of climate change have destabilised Queensland’s historically fire resilient rainforests such as those in the Eungella National Park and Deepwater National Park and led to the catastrophic fire conditions experienced.

  • The Archaeology of the Southern Curtis Coast: an Overview
    THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE SOUTHERN CURTIS COAST: AN OVERVIEW SEAN ULM AND IAN LILLEY Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, 4072, Australia Since 1993 archaeological surveys and excavations have been undertaken on the southern Curtis Coast as the coastal component of the Gooreng Gooreng Cultural Heritage Project. This paper briefly outlines the physical environment of the study region including geology, vegetation and fauna communities before presenting the preliminary results of archaeological surveys and excavations. These initial results suggest that the region has an extensive mid-to-late Holocene archaeological record that has the potential to contribute to understandings of changes in late Holocene Aboriginal societies in Central Queensland.

    NEWSLETTER ("Covid-19" Special) April 2020 Official Newsletter of the Austin Seven Register of Qld. Inc. (formed 1967) "It may be a while before we are on the Road again, Mate!!" (Ken Bell's 1934 Saloon is waved off by Brett Reif from Doug and Robyn's) President’s Report APRIL 2020 Hi Fellow Members A word from our President: All members, Members will not need to be told that Covid-19 has turned all our worlds upside down. Our home and work lives have experienced a seismic shift the size and speed of which is unparalleled in recent history. As you’d be aware we have new legislative and moral conditions around what we can and cannot do in order to protect our society from the worst that Covid-19 can wreak. In light of this, the Committee has resolved that all club activities will cease for April, May and June. The meetings and monthly runs have been cancelled while the Rocky and Country Runs have been postponed till 2021. I’m sure this will be disappointing news to all members but there is no viable alternative. So what can we do to fill the gap left by our regular meetings and runs? I’d hope that we can keep the A7RQ torch burning by regularly checking in on each other and where possible posting on Facebook or Instagram anything that we think other members would be interested in. I’m sure lots of our members have projects, both Austin and non-Austin that the rest of us would be interested in while we do our self-isolation time.
