The floods in central Queensland caused a large number of direct economic impacts, including lost coal production, lost agricultural production, damaged infrastructure and the emergency response and avoidance costs. However, the floods also caused a variety of indirect costs, as those impacts and the interruption to business activities rippled through the local and state economy.

  • Subsea Scour Protection

Scour is caused by fast moving water, thus compromising the integrity of a structure. Commercial Marine Group has designed and installed custom scour mattresses for a range of Clients and will discuss the challenges presented by the Client and the solutions provided. Recent projects that will be presented to delegates is the installation of the Callaghan Park Boat Ramp in the Fitzory River, Rockhampton, 80CBM of concrete in-situ installed into custom designed grout bags and the Kingsford Smith Drive Project in Brisbane, where the team assisted with the installation of 330 scour matts, weighing between 30 and 80 tonne each. Secondly, you will be presented with the sewerage outflow solution on the Kingsford Smith Drive Upgrade Project, Brisbane. Both projects presented unique challenges and learn how and why the final solutions were developed and installed in a subsea environment using commercial divers and specialized floating plant. 1 INTRODUCTION CMG has been appointed as a subcontractor to several tier one projects that relate to provision of engineering design, fabrication and install of subsea scour protection, seabed stabilization and subsea structural solutions to support other structures.

  • Operation Queensland Recovery Working to Recover, Reconnect and Rebuild More Resilient Queensland Communities Following the Effects of Severe Tropical Cyclone Debbie
    Queensland Government STATE RECOVERY PLAN 2017-2019 Operation Queensland Recovery Working to recover, reconnect and rebuild more resilient Queensland communities following the effects of Severe Tropical Cyclone Debbie UPDATED – MAY 2019 – Medical and Emergency Services staff unload supplies from a CH-47 Chinook helicopter from the 5th Aviation Regiment to support residents in Proserpine affected by STC Debbie. 2 State Recovery Plan 2017-2019 Operation Queensland Recovery Message from the Premier and Minister for the Arts Queensland is certainly no stranger to natural disasters and Mother Nature has once again put us to the test with Severe Tropical Cyclone Debbie causing heartache to thousands and more than a billion dollars in damage to industry and infrastructure across the state. From the beautiful Whitsundays to the Tweed border, almost half of the state felt the fury of the Category 4 system and associated torrential rainfall and flooding. It is no surprise that in the aftermath, we have seen neighbours helping neighbours and complete strangers lending a hand to those affected to get them back on their feet. It is instinctive in the hearts of Queenslanders to help each other and just as we have always done, we will continue to work together to rebuild and recover. Through many years of consecutive disasters, we have learned a number of hard-fought lessons about preparedness, responsiveness and resilience. We’ve proven the value in building back better and helping communities and individuals take a lead in their own recovery. But for all we have learned, every disaster event is different and we can never be completely prepared for the unpredictability of natural disasters.

  • 2014/17: Should Horse Racing Be Banned in Australia? File:///C:/Dpfinal/Schools/Adocs/Doca2014/2014Racing/2014Racing.Php
    2014/17: Should horse racing be banned in Australia? file:///C:/DPfinal/schools/adocs/doca2014/2014racing/2014racing.php 2014/17: Should horse racing be banned in Australia? What they said… ‘I do have a soft spot for some horses. But it is business and I can't afford to get too attached’ Peter Moody, Black Caviar's trainer ‘The deaths of both horses are nothing more than freakish events that could not be stopped or predicted’ Ryan Reynolds for the Geelong Advertiser The issue at a glance This year, 2014, the annual Melbourne Cup was held on Tuesday, November 4. Shortly after the race two of the horses which had competed died. The favourite, Admire Rakti, collapsed in a cooling-down stall, apparently having suffered heart failure. Seventh place-getter, Araldo, had to be euthanised when he shattered his hind cannon bone after shying at a flag while being led from the track. This is the second consecutive year in which at least one horse has died after the Melbourne Cup. (Verema broke down in the back straight in 2013.) A spokesperson for the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses, Ward Young, has claimed there have been more than 100 horse deaths during or immediately after races in the past year. A number of animal welfare groups are now calling horse racing unduly cruel and arguing it should be banned in Australia. Background (The information which follows was taken abbreviated from the Wikipedia entry titled ‘Thoroughbred racing in Australia’. The full text of the entry can be read at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoroughbred_racing_in_Australia) Thoroughbred horse racing in Australia Thoroughbred horse racing is an important spectator sport in Australia, and gambling on horse races is a popular pastime with A$14.3 billion wagered in 2009/10[1] with bookmakers and the Totalisator Agency Board (TAB).
