  • Chapter 21 Economics
    SECTION 21 Economic Development Section 21 Economic Development October 2016 21.0 Economic Development 21.1 Introduction The economic environment and the economic impact from the development of the Port Expansion Project (PEP) are discussed in Chapter B.19 (Economic Development) of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The economic assessment discussed the existing and future demand for Port capacity. The assessment defined and assessed a base case against the expected developed port to identify any positive or negative impacts during the construction and operation phases. The estimated economic benefit (in present values), of the Project was estimated to be of around $1,500 million. Socio-economic impacts were also assessed, including housing, commercial fishing, labour markets and employment. This section provides responses to submissions from public consultation and the results of new analysis that identifies the economic role of the Port in the region, and regional risks resulting from capacity constraints of the Port. This chapter section is not intended to represent a business case for the PEP, or an update on an existing business case for the PEP, however the information presented here is required under the Terms of Reference to provide context for economic impacts. Key matters raised within the submission process include: . justification of the need to expand the Port of Townsville in context of present berth utilisation . the role of the port in the economic stability, sustainability and development of North Queensland and the risks and flow-on effects of removing this capacity . consideration of using alternative ports to cater for increased demand, especially any future coal exports .

  • Visitor Responses to Palm Island in the 1920S and 1930S1
    ‘Socialist paradise’ or ‘inhospitable island’? Visitor responses to Palm Island in the 1920s and 1930s1 Toby Martin Tourists visiting Queensland’s Palm Island in the 1920s and 1930s followed a well-beaten path. They were ferried there in a launch, either from a larger passenger ship moored in deeper water, or from Townsville on the mainland. Having made it to the shallows, tourists would be carried ‘pick a back’ by a ‘native’ onto a ‘palm-shaded’ beach. Once on the grassy plains that stood back from the beach, they would be treated to performances such as corroborees, war dances and spear-throwing. They were also shown the efforts of the island’s administration: schools full of happy children, hospitals brimming with bonny babies, brass band performances and neat, tree-fringed streets with European- style gardens. Before being piggy-backed to their launches, the tourist could purchase authentic souvenirs, such as boomerangs and shields. As the ship pulled away from paradise, tourists could gaze back and reflect on this model Aboriginal settlement, its impressive ‘native displays’, its ‘efficient management’ and the ‘noble work’ of its staff and missionaries.2 By the early 1920s, the Palm Island Aboriginal reserve had become a major Queensland tourist destination. It offered tourists – particularly those from the southern states or from overseas – a chance to see Aboriginal people and culture as part of a comfortable day trip. Travellers to and around Australia had taken a keen interest in Aboriginal culture and its artefacts since Captain Cook commented on the ‘rage for curiosities amongst his crew’.3 From the 1880s, missions such as Lake Tyers in Victoria’s Gippsland region had attracted 1 This research was undertaken with the generous support of the State Library of NSW David Scott Mitchell Fellowship, and the ‘Touring the Past: History and Tourism in Australia 1850-2010’ ARC grant, with Richard White.

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.

  • The Genesis of Thea Astley's the Multiple Effects of Rainshadow
    The Genesis of Thea Astley’s The Multiple Effects of Rainshadow CHERYL TAYLOR JAMES COOK UNIVERSITY My purpose in this essay, which extends a project commenced a decade ago (Taylor 2009), is to analyse the sources of Thea Astley’s The Multiple Effects of Rainshadow, including but going beyond the list provided in the author’s ‘Acknowledgments.’ In truth, Astley’s achievement in Multiple Effects as in her other fiction far surpasses the sum of contributions that she derived from earlier writings. The mostly forgotten books that she lists as ‘[i]mpulses’ and her bequest to the Fryer Library of her newspaper sources and hand-written notes suggest that she may have welcomed a study of this novel’s genesis. The essay begins with an overview of the place of Multiple Effects in Astley’s oeuvre and the literary and political contexts for Astley’s increasing engagement with the history of Aboriginal dispossession. It then turns in detail to the novel itself and offers an excavation of the sources that inform its historical narrative. In doing this I hope to demonstrate something about Astley’s creative process: the extent and detail of her research, the ways in which her novel creatively reworks this archive, and some of the effects of that on the kind of history that Astley tells. Following the publication in 1994 of Coda, intended as the title indicates to be Astley’s last novel, the Keating Labor government awarded her a five-year Creative Fellowship of $325,000. Thus encouraged, after ‘one year of musing and two years of writing’ (Sayer 18) at Cambewarra on the NSW south coast, Astley published Multiple Effects in August 1996.

  • OF the TOWNSVILLE REGION LAKE ROSS the Beautiful Lake Ross Stores Over 200,000 Megalitres of Water and Supplies up to 80% of Townsville’S Drinking Water
    BIRDS OF THE TOWNSVILLE REGION LAKE ROSS The beautiful Lake Ross stores over 200,000 megalitres of water and supplies up to 80% of Townsville’s drinking water. The Ross River Dam wall stretches 8.3km across the Ross River floodplain, providing additional flood mitigation benefit to downstream communities. The Dam’s extensive shallow margins and fringing woodlands provide habitat for over 200 species of birds. At times, the number of Australian Pelicans, Black Swans, Eurasian Coots and Hardhead ducks can run into the thousands – a magic sight to behold. The Dam is also the breeding area for the White-bellied Sea-Eagle and the Osprey. The park around the Dam and the base of the spillway are ideal habitat for bush birds. The borrow pits across the road from the dam also support a wide variety of water birds for some months after each wet season. Lake Ross and the borrow pits are located at the end of Riverway Drive, about 14km past Thuringowa Central. Birds likely to be seen include: Australasian Darter, Little Pied Cormorant, Australian Pelican, White-faced Heron, Little Egret, Eastern Great Egret, Intermediate Egret, Australian White Ibis, Royal Spoonbill, Black Kite, White-bellied Sea-Eagle, Australian Bustard, Rainbow Lorikeet, Pale-headed Rosella, Blue-winged Kookaburra, Rainbow Bee-eater, Helmeted Friarbird, Yellow Honeyeater, Brown Honeyeater, Spangled Drongo, White-bellied Cuckoo-shrike, Pied Butcherbird, Great Bowerbird, Nutmeg Mannikin, Olive-backed Sunbird.
