It is now a vibrant suburb with its university, its diversity of homes along ridgebacks and its high rise units along the river. St Lucia, more than any other suburb in Brisbane, is surrounded and dominated by the Brisbane river and it makes us remember the horrific floods of 1893, 1931 and 1974 when the water rushed over the lowlands of the peninsula and we think: ‘What was it like 150 years ago when St Lucia was still virgin bush?’. It is said that Aboriginals camped along Sandy Creek which runs through the St Lucia golf course but it is only after European settlement that we can get a true picture of how our suburb began.

  • RACQ Ipswich Motorway Policy Analysis
    Policy Analysis 9/05 Economic & Public Policy Ipswich Motorway Introduction The Ipswich Motorway is a vital link between Brisbane and Ipswich. It connects Ipswich and Granard Roads at Rocklea to the Warrego and Cunningham Highways and Brisbane Road at Dinmore. For many years, it formed part of the National Highway System (NHS), which was a Commonwealth Government funding responsibility. Since the release of the Commonwealth’s AusLink land transport policy in June 2004, the Ipswich Motorway has been part of a broader National Network. The AusLink policy decreed that the states must share costs of the National Network, particularly in urban areas. The Ipswich Motorway is one of Queensland’s most congested roads, with stop-start conditions during morning and afternoon peak periods. It also has one of the highest vehicle accident rates in Queensland. Yet, the upgrading of this hopelessly inadequate and dangerous road has been subjected to extraordinary delays because of political bickering and dithering. This document summarises the history of recent proposals to upgrade the Ipswich Motorway, analyses Commonwealth and State Government policies regarding the road, and outlines RACQ’s position. Background The Ipswich Motorway upgrade project has been dogged by delays, conflict between governments, and political manoeuvring. In the meantime, road trauma and congestion continue to worsen on this very sub-standard stretch of the National Network. The following brief chronology highlights key events in this sad, sorry saga. 1997 The Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland, which was released in 1997, proposed commencement in 1997-98 of a major investigation in respect of an Ipswich Motorway upgrade.

Redistribution Gains Karana Downs from Ryan, reducing the margin from 8.9% to 8% History Blair was created in 1998.

All aspects of development on a Local Heritage Place in a Local Heritage Register under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, are code assessable (unless City Plan 2000 requires impact assessment). Those code assessable applications are assessed against the Code in Schedule 2 of the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 and the Heritage Place Code in City Plan 2000. City Plan 2000 makes some aspects of development impact assessable on the site of a Heritage Place and a Heritage Precinct. Heritage Places and Heritage Precincts are identified in the Heritage Register of the Heritage Register Planning Scheme Policy in City Plan 2000. Those impact assessable applications are assessed under the relevant provisions of the City Plan 2000. All aspects of development on land adjoining a Heritage Place or Heritage Precinct are assessable solely under City Plan 2000. ********** For building work on a Local Heritage Place assessable against the Building Act 1975, the Local Government is a concurrence agency. ********** Amendments to the Local Heritage Register are located at the back of the Register.

  • Calling out the Military: a Theoretical and Jurisprudential Justification of the Expansion of Domestic Military Powers Anasuya Datta
    CALLING OUT THE MILITARY: A THEORETICAL AND JURISPRUDENTIAL JUSTIFICATION OF THE EXPANSION OF DOMESTIC MILITARY POWERS ANASUYA DATTA I INTRODUCTION Historically, military involvement in domestic affairs was associated with authoritarianism and military dictatorships.1 Since the 1688 Glorious Revolution, British political culture has been hostile towards domestic military deployments, due to parliamentary supremacy ensuring that power rested with Parliament, not the Executive’s discretion alone.2 The absence of using military forces domestically was considered fundamental to liberal democracy.3 However, there are tensions between this and the state’s responsibility to protect its citizens in emergencies. In Australia, Part IIIAAA of the Defence Act 1903 (Cth) (‘Defence Act’) regulates military call-outs, permitting military involvement in aid of civil power and law enforcement.4 After the 2014 Lindt Café siege, the government was criticised for not calling out the Australian Defence Force (ADF), despite its terrorist nature5 which put the ADF on notice for a potential call-out.6 The New South Wales Police did not declare the event beyond their capabilities, thus not warranting ADF call-out. Arguably the ADF should have been called out to resolve the situation due to its expertise in armed conflict and its aggressive approach which better suits counter-terrorism.7 Since then, the Defence Department has considered reforming Part IIIAAA to facilitate faster anti-terror responses.8 Conversely, Part IIIAAA has been criticised as an overstepping of state power through broad and extensive powers9 in allowing military involvement domestically. Despite criticisms, the unforeseen nature of terrorism requires greater state power to protect.
