October 2017 Inform Edition Etheridge Shire Council Inform Newsletter www.etheridge.qld.gov.au Edition 10, October 2017 2017 Football Match Georgetown Boars Vs Malanda Eels MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR Good day to you all, Rain, rain, glorious rain! How wonderful is it! Well October has seen a lot going on. Despite the small population of our Shire there is never a dull moment. I would like to pass on our condolences on behalf of Council to the Gaynor family on the tragic passing of Alan. Our sincere condolences also go out to David Munro on the sad passing of his father, Peter. The long weekend at the beginning of the month saw the 79th Annual Georgetown Bushman’s Ball and the first ever Georgetown Bush Races. Unfortunately Lydia and I were unable to attend as we were away at my son Ben’s wedding in Perth which went off without a hitch. While away I contracted a Pneumonia and ended up in Hospital for a couple of days on our return. This is a gentle reminder that everyone should do what they can to prevent catching the flu and if possible take advantage of getting a flu needle in preparation for next year! There is nothing more pleasing than to see community organisations working together to create events not only for locals, but showcasing what the Shire has on offer to tourists. It was great to see the events compliment each other resulting in a good turnout for both. I am sure the events will continue to grow and Council are committed to helping in any way we can. A huge pat on the back to the Georgetown Bushman’s Ball Committee and the Georgetown Progress Association for putting these great events together. I certainly won’t be missing next year! This month saw Rolfe, Norm and I along with Greg Stanford, our consultant on the Gilbert River Project, attend meetings in Brisbane with various Ministers regarding the Gilbert River Irrigation Project. Each of these meetings we attend brings us a step closer to getting the project up and running. It is a massive undertaking and much groundwork needs to happen to progress to each stage. Millions of dollars and many hours have already gone into this project so far and many more are yet to be spent. This Council’s vision in getting behind and supporting this project is courageous and forward thinking to say the least. The overall benefit to our Shire will be immense and will go a long way to ensure that not only our immediate generation but also future generations of our children will have a richly diverse and economically viable future within this Shire to look forward to. I would like to congratulate Cara and Aaron on the birth of Hank, Megan and Dan on the birth of Cody and Darryl and Lauren on the birth of Lilly during the month of October. There sure is going to be a large class when it comes time for school for all of the 2017/2018 babies in Georgetown which is great to see! Have a great November everyone. Mayor, Warren Devlin 1 FROM THE CEO’S DESK Community Consultation Council regularly meets with the community at various locations within the Shire in an effort to better engage with the community. Our next Community Consultation meeting is scheduled for Oak Park on Wednesday 1 November 2017. If you live in that area, you are encouraged to come and meet with your Councillors and senior staff. Council’s draft Corporate Plan is now available on Council’s website and we are inviting comments and feedback from the community. Charleston Dam Update Clearing of the Charleston Dam inundation area has commenced and the tenders for other elements will be advertised progressively, with an expectation that the major Dam construction will commence shortly after the wet season. Gilbert River Irrigation Scheme Council representatives met with relevant Ministers and Government agencies to progress the Gilbert River Irrigation Scheme proposal through the month. Council will be responding to a call for applications under the ‘Maturing the Infrastructure Pipeline Program’ when it is released (expected in October 2017). Grant Availability Game On Queensland Grants Grants totalling $700,000 under Game On Queensland are now available to Councils to deliver sport and active recreation events and programs in the lead-up to, during and after the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. Game On Queensland funding is available for two categories within the program: Game On Events can be hosted in existing local government facilities such as parks, grounds or gardens, and range from ‘come and try’ sport and activity days. Grants of up to $15,000 (GST exclusive) are available per event. Game On Programs are longer term, program-based initiatives aimed at increasing participation in sport or unstructured / semi-structured physical activity— for example, yoga, group fitness, walking groups, dance for fitness or active transport. Grants of up to $40,000 (GST exclusive) are available per program. Interested sporting groups are encouraged to contact me to discuss developing a joint grant application. 2 Employment Incentives Looking to hire a jobseeker or are getting back to work in North West Queensland?

  • Prediction of Potentially Significant Fish Harvest Using Metrics of Accessibility in Northern Western Australia
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 97: 355–361, 2014 Prediction of potentially significant fish harvest using metrics of accessibility in northern Western Australia PAUL G CLOSE 1, REBECCA J DOBBS 1, TOM J RYAN 1, KARINA RYAN 2, PETER C SPELDEWINDE 1 & SANDY TOUSSAINT 1,3 1 Centre of Excellence in Natural Resource Management, The University of Western Australia, Albany, WA 6330, Australia 2 Western Australian Fisheries and Marine Research Laboratories, Department of Fisheries, Hillarys, WA 6025, Australia 3 Anthropology and Sociology, The University of Western Australia, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia [email protected] Management of freshwater fisheries in northern Australia faces challenges that combine Aboriginal and recreational harvests, intermittent river flows and remote, expansive management jurisdictions. Using relationships between fishing pressure (vis-à-vis ‘accessibility’) and the abundance of fish species targeted by Aboriginal and recreational fishers (derived from the Fitzroy River, Western Australia), the potential fishing pressure in subcatchments across the entire Kimberley region was assessed. In addition to the Fitzroy and Ord River, known to experience substantial fishing pressure, this assessment identified that subcatchments in the Lennard and King Edward river basins were also likely to experience relatively high fishing activity. Management of freshwater fisheries in the Kimberley region prioritises aquatic assets at most risk from the potential impact of all aquatic resource use and employs
