    SEPTEMBER 2017 | ISSUE 36 Queensland Market Monitor September 2017 | Issue 36 Statewide Commentary Queensland’s beachfront markets lead the charge for growth. Managing Editor Felicity Moore Research by Karina Salas The Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast house markets delivered good news for owner occupiers and investors this quarter with the state’s strongest annual price growth. Growth in the tourism sector is driving these strengthening house sale markets. Tourism is one of the largest contributors to Queensland’s gross state product (GSP). The rental markets throughout Queensland have been tightening, with the number of healthy markets falling as some move into the tight range. Caloundra was the tightest market in Queensland, with historic low vacancies of only 0.6 per cent. Property investors in regional Queensland continued dealing with weak conditions and high vacancy rates. The good news is that vacancies are improving, indicating that hope is on the horizon that a recovery may be on the cards. Continued on page 3 Your statewide property research guide suburb by suburb.

  • RV + Camping Strategy
    RV + Camping Strategy Townsville City Council May 2020 Townsville I’m an old grey nomad, I’ve travelled much of this great brown land, A really great place in Australia, Is at Townsville - on The Strand. The Strand is such an interesting place, And can be one that’s full of surprises, Folks jogging, running, perhaps walking the dog, And they come in all shapes and sizes. They come, no doubt, from varying occupations, Some blue collar, some white and many scholars, To enjoy The Strand, the boardwalk and Kissing Point, The Council has obviously spent millions of dollars. And the folk are mostly friendly, In that good old Australian way, With a passing smile or a nod of the head, Or a big grin and a big ‘gooday’!! And what a magnificent view for all, It sure gave us a thrill, The panoramic vision for all to see, From atop of Castle Hill. We come here each year from Tamworth, The cold winter at home is quite prolific, So we pack up and ‘escape’ to Townsville, Where the tropical winter is just terrific!! We settle in for winter, Enjoy the ‘comings and goings’ from the aerodrome, And simply live our lives in Townsville, Which has become our ‘home away from home’. So, if you want to have a nice winter, Then take my advice, old mate, You’d better head for Townsville, The winter climate there is great!! Don Pannan, 5 December 2019 Contents Introduction . 6 1.1 Background .............................................................................8 1.2 Consultation and Key Stakeholders . .10 Overview of RV and Camping Market .

The purpose of this letter is to notify the Department of changes to the Black-throated Finch Management Plan (the Plan) prescribed by Condition 1 of the Approval. In accordance with Condition 9 of the Approval, the approved plan has been revised and a copy of the revised plan is enclosed herein. The revised plan will now be implemented as at the date of this notice. Amendments to the plan were made in Section 6, paragraph 2 and in the monitoring program (Table 7) and implementation schedule (Table 8). These changes are considered largely administrative and relate to a delay in the timing and implementation of the ongoing monitoring plan to reflect unforeseen delays in the commencement of the action. In accordance with Condition 9, it is not considered likely that the abovementioned changes will result in a new or increased impact. Implementation of the Plan has commenced consisting of baseline seasonal monitoring events in 2019 in accordance with Condition 1. Consideration has been given to the currency of the baseline data and a commitment made to ensuring baseline data has a maximum currency of two years.
