In the 20 years since the group has conducted 4 meetings per year as a network. Looking forward in 2020, members were invited to discuss commitment for the future. Local Studies Group – Looking forward – Discussion and feedback • Business as usual? Does the offer look the same? • Regional networks and relationships – level of responsibility? • Supporting wider Council programs – expectation v demand • Queensland wide initiatives eg. #widerlocalstudies; 1lib1ref; • Priorities – are they the same or do they look different going forward • Aspirations and achievements v budget and outcomes • Challenges for Local Studies? If so, what are they… • State Library of Queensland – advocacy, actions, standards review • MORE… Feedback 20/02/2020 Valuing Queensland Local Studies Group (QLSG) • Is it vital that we still have a local studies group going forward? Yes – it is! • The number of people attending the meeting is evidence of its value • The group’s coordination by SLQ lends vital gravitas important to Local Government and advocacy for Local Studies • The group reserves the right to make the Queensland Local Studies Group what we need it to be • For some libraries, including those outside of South East Queensland, attendance at the Queensland Local Studies Group Meeting is identified as professional development and is acknowledged as being invaluable. • organise a visit to any of the other locations along with the people from our council who have the power to green light a new project, so that they can see the benefits for themselves … because however valuable we in LH think it is, it is very hard to up-sell. (additional note) • Add an hour before the formal meeting for networking (or after). (additional note) Meetings • Use of tools/products encouraging more flexible online participation would be welcome • Including direct URLs in minutes is a helpful and straight forward low-tech approach to sharing information • More inclusive agendas (including things requested by participants like ‘Deed of Gift’). (Kyla’s additional note. Should items requested by participants have priority in agendas?) • The Queensland Local Studies Group doesn’t have the type of meetings where every detail can be reflected in minutes or captured in a recording • Attending in person for networking and exchanging of information is invaluable, not easily shared via email • Conversations occur outside of the e-list (Kyla’s additional note. The e-list is a great tool to share relevant information to the group, but it’s not necessarily where ongoing conversations take place. I know that I’ll respond directly to an individual rather than the list. The e-list is a little like an iceberg, it only shows part of the overall structure) • The thing that makes this group work is the informality and knowledge sharing. (Kyla’s additional note. Should the round table be at the beginning of the meeting? After we’ve already started chatting over cups of tea? Those that travel the furthest are usually those who need to leave early and we hear/see less of at other times) • How do we empower colleagues, and educate their councils, so that more local studies staff are able to attend? • Don’t wish meetings to be too prescriptive or rigid • Maintaining participation outside of the 200km radius of Brisbane may be eased by offering a two- day local studies workshop at SLQ once a year. Eg. ‘a meeting on steroids’ • Two meetings a year would probably be enough, with some information shared by email to compensate for the fewer meetings, and to keep the 2 meetings dynamic. (additional note) General feedback • Staff in local studies libraries are always looking at engagement. It’s necessary. There are more players in the cultural sector, it’s more competitive and more complex • History is popular now, but how we all deliver that or meet that need is different • Historic images are very popular on social media and have the highest engagement • QM e-news is the most read newsletter at SLQ, outperforming all others. This reflects interest in history and heritage. It is also the only communication tool QM/SLQ uses • Local Studies needs points of difference from other providers of resources etc operating in the same space • A measured approach is needed Challenges and aspirations • Are there things of mutual benefit that can be done collectively? Sharing platforms? A platform containing resources of interest. Response: It was noted that this approach requires capacity to create and manage • Is it possible to distribute the SLQ collecting priorities to the group so we’re not duplicating effort and are informed of what SLQ needs which likely align with regional needs? • Are we repeating things serendipitously across the state? • Local Government always require an outcome/delivery • Is it possible to track outcomes or growth centrally? • There are different ways to measure growth and outcomes • Being ‘out there on your own is hard’ • There are limited resources in local studies • More needs to be done about advocacy, information sharing and joint projects • Consider undertaking joint group projects in the future • Many members of the group already contribute formally and informally to the SLQ projects and exhibitions Round Table Logan City Library • Local Studies volunteers have been helping to retrospectively compile the Logan Registry District burial index which was established in 1872. The next stage will be to cross reference this index

  • FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM for the LOGAN & ALBERT RIVERS
    Bureau Home > Australia > Queensland > Rainfall & River Conditions > River Brochures > Logan and Albert FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM for the LOGAN & ALBERT RIVERS This brochure describes the flood warning system operated by the Australian Government, Bureau of Meteorology for the Logan and Albert Rivers. It includes reference information which will be useful for understanding Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins issued by the Bureau's Flood Warning Centre during periods of high rainfall and flooding. Contained in this document is information about: (Last updated September 2019) Flood Risk Previous Flooding Flood Forecasting Local Information Flood Warnings and Bulletins Interpreting Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins Flood Classifications Other Links Looking upstream at Beenleigh on the Albert River Flood Risk The Logan River has a catchment area of about 3850 square kilometres and lies in the south east corner of Queensland. The catchment extends from the Logan City-Beenleigh area in the north to the McPherson Ranges in the south on the Queensland-NSW border. The major tributaries are the Albert River and Teviot Brook. Smaller tributaries include Running, Christmas, Burnett and Canungra Creeks in the headwaters. Major flooding is experienced in both rural and urban areas of the catchment although major flooding in the upper part of the catchment does not necessarily result in significant flooding in the lower catchment. Scrubby and Slacks Creeks in the lower reaches of the Logan River can be subject to flash flooding as well as backwater flooding during major river flood events. Previous Flooding Records of large floods in the Logan-Albert Rivers extend back as far as 1887, and since then there have been several major flood events.

The setbacks listed in the document relate to the most commonly encountered residential zone types and as such, there may be times when the relevant zone is not listed in the above document. Before using this guide to determine the setbacks, please ensure you have completed a free Council PD online search for the property to determine the relevant zoning applicable to the site. The PD online search is a useful tool as it will also provide details of overlay constraints on the property, which may affect the proposed building works. Councils also have interactive mapping services which will outline the location of affected overlays on the site. In Gold Coast City Council, to determine the zoning and overlays affecting the property, you must access the property report through the interactive mapping tool. The following information has been provided as a guide only, and has not considered individual site conditions, including but not limited to: - Existing Development Approvals - Plan of Developments - Building Envelopes - Overlays - Infrastructure - Compliance with NCC requirements - Easements & Covenants This information is based on the planning scheme and relevant legislation, and is up to individual interpretation. The information in this document is provided as a guide only and will not override a site specific assessment. It may be necessary to check with relevant qualified persons when interpreting these requirements, or engage Fluid for a preliminary assessment of the project.
