In particular, the author has been forced to make decisions on splitting and moving polling places between electorates on the basis of maps rather than first hand local knowledge.

In Brisbane's northern suburbs, the new electorate of Stafford includes most of the abolished electorates of Chermside and Kedron, while Darling Downs has been created in place of the abolished Crows Nest and Western Downs. The two new electorates are Gaven in the Gold Coast hinterland, and Glass House in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. While all 89 electorates have had their boundaries altered, 76 retain the same name. Nine electorates have been re-named, while there are four abolished and four new electorates. The details of new and re-named electorates are set out in the table below. New Electorate Old Electorate/Name Algester New name for Archerfield Darling Downs Replaces Crows Nest and Western Downs Gaven New Gold Coast electorate Glass House New Sunshine Coast electorate Kawana New name for Mooloolah Mudgeeraba New name for Nerang Nanango New name for Barambah Pumicestone New name for Caboolture Robina New name for Merrimac Southern Downs New name for Warwick Stafford Replaces Chermside and Kedron Stretton New name for Sunnybank Yeerongpilly New name for Yeronga The Political Impact of the New Boundaries Based on the results of the 1998 Queensland election, the following two tables provide a summary of the political impact of the new boundaries.

INTRODUCTION This publication contains estimates of the political impact of the new Queensland electoral boundaries, as finalised by the Queensland Redistribution Commission on 7 July 1999. Most of the analysis is based on re-assigning the results of the 1998 state election to correspond to the new boundaries. However, estimates are also provided based on the 1995 state election, and the 1998 federal election. Full details of the method of calculation used are contained in Appendix B. A Caution on Interpreting Figures All votes have been assigned to new electorates on the basis of party. However, this overlooks two very important factors that can help determine the level of vote for a candidate within an electorate. The first is that a well known sitting member can attract a higher vote than his or her party would otherwise receive. For this reason, party votes transferred in or out of an electorate may not accurately reflect the level of vote the party will receive in the new electorate. Secondly, marginal seats tend to see much more intense campaigns than safe seats. Votes transferred reflect the intensity of campaign on the old electoral boundaries, which may not be repeated in any campaign on the new boundaries. For both of these reasons, all quoted margins and percentage votes must be taken as guides only. The outcome of the next election will be determined by the candidates and parties contesting the new electorates, not past voting patterns. Reading the Tables The tables of electorate details provided in Section 3 give a complete breakdown for each new electorate, based on the 1998 election results. It includes a full listing of booths and declaration votes transferred to each new electorate. Separate sub-totals are provided for each transfer of voters from an old electorate, as well as a grand total for the new electorate. Consider the following example from the listing for Albert ALBERT 2-CANDIDATE PRIMARY VOTES VOTES ALP NAT ONP ALP NAT LIB ONP OTH Transfers from : Albert (17701 Voters) Alberton, Beenleigh (95%), Cedar Creek, Coomera (50%), Logan Village, Mt Warren Park, Ormeau, Pimpama, Upper Coomera (50%), Woongoolba, Declaration votes (52%) Votes 15414 6470 7150 0 5335 4716 0 4223 887 % 47.5 52.5 0.0 35.2 31.1 0.0 27.9 5.9 The line beginning "Transfers ..." indicates from which electorate votes have been transferred. The figure in brackets (17701) is the number of electors transferred, as provided by the Redistribution Commission. In this example, the next two lines list the names of the polling places that have been transferred from the old electorate of Albert to the new. In the case of the Coomera booth, only 50% has been transferred. The percentage of Declaration votes transferred is indicated in the same way. A separate entry is provided for each transfer of voters from an old to a new electorate, and a grand total for each new electorate is also provided. The column headed VOTES is the total votes transferred, and includes informal votes. It is NOT the sum of the formal votes on the line. Note that because of optional preferential voting, the total of the two-party preferred votes might not equal the total of the primary votes.

  • Joshua Thomas Bell Queensland and the Darling Downs 1889-1911 by D
    Joshua Thomas Bell Queensland and the Darling Downs 1889-1911 by D. B. Waterson Received 27 September 1984 The pastoral, legal and political career of Joshua Thomas Bell niuminates certain aspects of Queensland in general and Darling Downs history in particular during a critical time in that region's evolution. When Bell first entered the Queensland Legislative Assembly for the Northem Downs constituency of Dalby in 1893 (a seat which he was to retain until his death nineteen years later), the colony, society and landscape of the Downs were about to undergo their third major transformation since the coming of European pastoralists and the hesitant establishment of selector-based agri­ culture during the 1860s and 1870s. Bell's personal origins and subsequent career - he was bom in 1863 - thus spans two of the most significant phases in the European history of the region.' Bell, scion of an old-established Queensland pastoral family, now in the hands of the financially unstable Darling Downs & Westem Land Company and its overdraft master, the Queensland National Bank, entered ParUament at the time of the massive financial crash in Queensland. Yet the DarUng Downs was about to embark on a thorough reconstmction and expansion of its mral enterprises. Bell's period in Parliament saw a rapid increase in mral productivity and population on the Downs - more than in other parts of Queensland, including Brisbane - and an acceleration of Toowoomba's rise to prominence as the regional capital. The application of new tech­ nology, particularly in refrigeration and plant breeding, the inter­ vention of the State in distributing old pastoral freehold estates to Professor Duncan Waterson is Professor of History, School of History, Philosophy and Politics, Macquarie University, Sydney.

  • 2021 Land Valuations Overview Western Downs
    Land valuations overview: Western Downs Regional Council On 31 March 2021, the Valuer-General released land valuations for 17,760 properties with a total value of $4,403,967,344 in the Western Downs Regional Council area. The valuations reflect land values at 1 October 2020 and show that Western Downs region has increased by 21.6 per cent overall since the last valuation in 2019. Rural land values have generally increased moderately, except for around Wandoan where there have been significant increases, due to the strength in beef commodity prices as well as a low interest rate environment. Residential land values in the townships of Dalby and Miles have generally remained unchanged, with moderate increases in Chinchilla, and moderate reductions within the towns of Tara and Wandoan. Commercial and industrial lands generally remain unchanged, except for some isolated changes along the Warrego Highway in Dalby. Inspect the land valuation display listing View the valuation display listing for Western Downs Regional Council online at www.qld.gov.au/landvaluation or visit the Department of Resources, 30 Nicholson Street, Dalby.

  • The Distribution and Impacts of Lippia (Phyla Canescens) in the Murray Darling System
    The Distribution and Impacts of Lippia (Phyla canescens) in the Murray Darling System. Final Report to the Lippia Working Group October 2003 Prepared by: Dr Judith Earl Agricultural Information & Monitoring Services ABN: 73 918 506 894 Contact Address: 73 Hardinge St Guyra NSW 2365 Phone: 02 6779 2286 Fax: 02 6779 2486 Email: [email protected] PHOTOGRAPHS: All photographs that appear in the document were taken by the author unless otherwise stated. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: The funding for this Murray Darling Lippia Working Group Project was provided by the Murray Darling Basin Commission and project management was provided by the Australian Cotton Cooperative Research Centre. This project was reliant on input from a vast number of individuals from a wide area, their cooperation and contribution to the project is greatly appreciated. i Executive Summary Lippia occurs predominantly on the clay soil floodplains of the inland river system in the 500- 800mm annual rainfall zone of Queensland and NSW, although it is present in varying density within each of the 19 catchments Murray Darling Basin. The worst affected catchments are the Condamine, Border Rivers, Gwydir, Namoi, Lachlan, Murrumbidgee and the Murray. Lippia is currently estimated to be distributed across at least 5% of the Murray Darling Basin occurring across a total area in the order of 5.3 million hectares. The spread of Lippia appears to be clearly related to flood events. Many farmers, particularly south of the Queensland border, stated that Lippia has become a problem since specific flood events. In the Gwydir region the Lippia population increased markedly following the 1996 flood and again after the 1998 floods.

Lloyd, Extension Officer, Brisbane Published by: Queensland Department of Primary Industries September 1976 FOREWORD The Shire Handbook was conceived in the mid-1960s. A limited number of a series was printed for use by officers of the Department of Primary Industries to assist them in their planning of research and extension programmes. The Handbooks created wide interest and, in response to public demand, it was decided to publish progressively a new updated series. This volume is one of the new series. Shire Handbooks review, in some detail, the environmental and natural resources which affect farm production and people in the particular Shire. Climate, geology, topography, water resources, soils and vegetation are described. Farming systems are discussed, animal and crop production reviewed and'yields and turnoff quantified. The economics of component industries are studied. The text is supported liberally by maps and statistical tables. Shire Handbooks provide important reference material for all concerned with rural industries and rural Queensland. * They serve as a guide to farmers and graziers, bankers, stock and station agents and those in agricultural business. * Provide essential information for regional planners, developers and environmental impact students. * Are a very useful reference for teachers at all levels of education and deserve a place in most libraries. I commend this series to students of agriculture and all whose business is associated with the land and rural people. (V.B. Sullivan) Minister for Primary Industries ii CONTENTS Page 1.
