Burrum River WQIP 2012 Draft Version 7.0 June 2008 PREPARATION STATEMENT The Burrum Catchment Water Quality Improvement Plan (WQIP) was drafted by Dr Michael Walker, Water Management Officer, Mary & Burrum, Wide Bay Water Corporation (WBWC). Funding for this task was provided jointly by the Burnett Mary Regional Group for Natural Resource Management (BMRG) and Wide Bay Water Corporation under a strategic partnership to improve water quality. The Burrum Catchment Water Quality Improvement Plan covers the Burrum, Cherwell, Gregory and Isis River catchments, which discharge via the Burrum estuary to Hervey Bay. Assistance was provided by Dr Graeme Esslemont Water Quality and Equitable Use Coordinator, BMRG (formerly a member of the short term modelling project team set up to assist NRM bodies with their target setting responsibilities under the Reef Water Quality Protection Plan). Dr Esslemont undertook the necessary modelling work (SedNet and ANNEX) one of the tools used to set water quality targets utilised in this plan.

  • Queensland Arts Council Strategic Plan, 2001-2003
    ARTS FACILITATION AND CREATIVE COMMUNITY CULTURE: A STUDY OF QUEENSLAND ARTS COUNCIL by Michael John Richards ADVA, MA. Submitted to the Faculty of Creative Industries at Queensland University of Technology, in support of an application for admission to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, January 2005. 1 LIST OF KEYWORDS Civil Society Community Arts Community Cultural Development Community Revitalisation Community Engagement Creative Class Creative Industries Cultural Industries Cultural Policy Excellence Elite(s) Knowledge Class Meritocracy Regional Arts 2 ABSTRACT This thesis adopts a Cultural Industries framework to examine how Queensland’s arts council network has, through the provision of arts products and services, contributed to the vitality, health and sustainability of Queensland’s regional communities. It charts the history of the network, its configuration and impact since 1961, with particular focus on the years 2001 - 2004, envisages future trends, and provides an analysis of key issues which may be used to guide future policies and programs. Analysis is guided by a Cultural Industries understanding of the arts embedded in everyday life, and views the arts as a range of activities which, by virtue of their aesthetic and symbolic dimensions, enhance human existence through their impact on both the quality and style of human life. Benefits include enhanced leisure and entertainment options, and educational, social, health, personal growth, and economic outcomes, and other indirect benefits which enrich environment and lifestyle. Queensland Arts Council (QAC) and its network of branches has been a dominant factor in the evolution of Queensland’s cultural environment since the middle of the 20th century. Across the state, branches became the public face of the arts, drove cultural agendas, initiated and managed activities, advised governments, wrote cultural policies, lobbied, raised funds and laboured to realise cultural facilities and infrastructure.

  • February 2017 ISSUE 289
    A volunteer initiative of the Howard & District Progress Assn Inc. Voice of the People Since August 1990 DISTRIBUTION 1600 COPIES VOLUME 1 February 2017 ISSUE 289 President Trump’s inauguration speech resonated around the world. He declared he would “… give power back to the forgotten people” For many of us that is just how we feel – forgotten by politicians, misled by media and forgotten by the public officials we pay to serve our needs. In 2014, then Treasurer Joe Hockey declared that the age of entitlement was dead. In that case he was referring to welfare recipients. Unfortunately, his colleagues on both sides of the house failed to understand that if it was over for the rest of us, it was also over for politicians and public officials. Political movements in Britain and the United States indicate OFF that the forgotten people are demanding to be heard. They are also demanding that politicians and public officials stop taking advantage of their position and start WITH providing the service that we ratepayers and taxpayers are funding. THEIR Are we in the Burrum District forgotten? Recent events at Fraser Coast Council who funded a HEADS $1/2 million boardwalk and multi-million dollar sports complex at Hervey Bay while we languish without sewerage and adequate drainage seems to suggest we are indeed forgotten. Our divisional councillor and local member are fighting hard for us but it seems that self-interest by councillors and public officials is too strong an influence. No, I’m not advocating that we rise up in revolt and shout “Off with her head”.

  • CALD Profile Fraser Coast
    Fraser Coast HSD - Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Population Profile Census 2001 Census population counts are used throughout this factsheet, rather than residential population. Census population count refers to the number of persons counted at their actual location on census night (August in 1991, 1996 and 2001), and usually includes visitors from overseas and Australian residents away from their usual residence. However in this factsheet, overseas visitors have been excluded. Not stated categories have also been excluded. This is the second in a series of census data factsheets prepared by Central Public Health Unit Network. Additional factsheets reporting 2001 census data, estimated residential population and other sociodemographic indicators have been released or will be released as data becomes available. This factsheet includes the minimum core set of variables for reporting on cultural and language diversity plus variables from the standard set. The minimum core set is; country of birth of person, main language other than English spoken at home (MLOTESH) and proficiency in spoken English. The fourth core indicator, Indigenous status is reported in a separate factsheet.
