Newsletter May 20 MOUNT ISA NEWS May 2020 Your community newsletter The Family Fun Precinct, including the Family Fun Park and Mount Isa Skate Park, will undergo a $5.1 million upgrade that will include extra shade structures, improved security and fencing, and new lighting. See inside for details! Phone 07 4747 3200 | email [email protected] | www.mountisa.qld.gov.au | www.facebook.com/MountIsaCityCouncil/ MAYOR’S DESK... Welcome to the May edition of Mount Isa News. With COVID-19 restrictions continuing, it has been quite a challenging time for many in our community. However, with restrictions slowly but surely easing as part of a three- stage, monthly approach that extends to mid-July, our city and the rest of Queensland can start to look forward to getting back on its feet. I welcome the step-down approach to COVID-19 announced by the Queensland Government earlier this month that provides sensible and practical concessions for Outback Queensland, which has so far remained untouched by the coronavirus, with no confirmed cases reported as of time of print. It's great to see that, for example, restaurants, cafés and pubs in our region, along with the rest of Outback Queensland, are now able to accept up to 20 customers at a time, increasing to 50 customers at a time as of mid-June. And with recreational travel now allowed within Outback Queensland - up to 500km from your home, until mid-June when it's extended to all of Outback Queensland for the region's residents - there will definitely be benefits for communities and their local tourism industries. These are small but necessary steps to take, as it is prudent to start off small with the easing of restrictions, and increase them gradually, once they have been shown and proven to be safe for all residents. Now is not the time to be complacent. It is imperative that we all continue to practise social distancing and good hand hygiene, even as measures are taken to slowly begin to return things to normal. The Mount Isa Local Disaster Management Group, of which I'm Chair, meets every week to discuss COVID-19-related matters pertinent to our community. We as a Council are committed to doing whatever we can to assist local businesses and sporting clubs to get through this unique situation. I thank all of the businesses that have sent us their "COVID-19 impact statements" - your feedback will be invaluable in providing us with a focus for Council's decision-making going forward. Recently, Council accepted a business case developed by PricewaterhouseCoopers for the proposed Mount Isa Transport and Logistics Centre, and endorsed a "pathway to delivery" that will include planning and environmental approvals, as well as land acquisition and procurement. This is fantastic news and an indication of how Council is committed to the further development of the Transport and Logistics Centre project, which is proposed to be located north of Mount Isa on land near the Mount Isa Airport. The importance of the Transport and Logistics Centre is also confirmed in Council's 2017 Economic Development Strategy. It is crucial for Mount Isa to strengthen its economy, and this centre would certainly play a vital role in local economic diversification. I look forward to the continued work Council will do in developing the Transport and Logistics Centre going forward.

The cooler months really serve to remind us all just how far into the year we've come - and what a very different year it's been for so many of us. We're all very fortunate that the coronavirus does not yet have a presence in Mount Isa, but our lives have still significantly changed as a result of it. From temporary school closures, to the cancellation of community events and sporting competitions, and restaurants and cafés going takeaway-only, the world has certainly been turned upside-down. However, the situation is improving. In keeping with Stage 1 of the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in Outback Queensland, earlier this month Council was pleased to reopen all local parks that include playground equipment (such as the Family Fun Park, Skate Park and Playway Park), as well as the City Library, which is now operating in a limited capacity. We urge all park visitors and Library patrons to obey social-distancing rules when they're at these facilities. It is strongly recommended that people bring their own hand sanitiser for use before and after using playground equipment at the parks, and ensure they keep to a limit of 10 people per group. For the timebeing, the Library is open from 9.30am to 1.30pm, Monday to Friday, but these hours will be reviewed in the coming weeks. There is a limit of 10 patrons allowed in the Library at any one time, and the focus is on the "click-and-collect" service, whereby patrons can reserve a book online and pick it up in person at the Library. Alternatively, you can use the catalogue computer to choose the book you would like, and a Library staff member will collect it for you. A great selection of books - including children's books - DVDs and magazines will be on display and available to borrow in the Library foyer each day, with the items to be updated daily after cleaning. At this time, Splashez Aquatic Centre will remain closed, as will the Container Exchange area of the Waste Management Facility, but these closures will also be reviewed in the coming weeks. We appreciate and understand that these changes to Council facilities can be an inconvenience for some, however it's vital for these steps to be taken as they're in the best interests of the health and safety of the whole community. Sharon Ibardolaza Chief Executive Officer COVID-19 Council Facilities to Reopen Council is pleased to announce that parks across our city and the City Library have now been re-opened. This is as a result of Stage 1 of the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in Outback Queensland which came into effect at midnight on Friday, May 15. Parks Parks that include play equipment - such as the Family Fun Park, Playway Park, Quota Park, Ron McCullough Park and the Skate Park - re-opened on Saturday, May 16. The water features at the Family Fun Park were re-opened about a week later. Visitors to these facilities are reminded about the limitation of a maximum of 10 park visitors at a time and keeping to our social distancing measures. We also advise that if visitors would like to use the play equipment at the parks to ensure that they bring hand sanitiser with them for use before and after use. City Library The Library re-opened on Monday, May 18. Its new temporary opening hours are 9.30am to 1.30pm, Monday to Friday. Public access will be restricted to 10 patrons at any one time and to areas that include the foyer, computer/photocopier and the customer service area. Patrons are reminded that they need to practise good hand hygiene and are urged to use the hand- sanitising products provided at the Library. Patrons are able to choose from a variety of books, magazines and DVDs including children's books. Selections will be updated daily after cleaning. A reduced number of public computers will be available for use. At this time, browsing of books on Library shelves is not available. The Library also offers a "click-and-collect" service, where patrons are able to reserve books online from the Council's website and pick them up in person at the Library customer service area. Public Toilets Re-opened as of Saturday, May 16: ● Within the Miles Street carpark ● Within the Sunset Lawn Cemetery ● Within Captain James Cook Oval ● Within Sunset Oval ● Within the Family Fun Park ● Within Playway Park ● Camooweal Town Hall ● Moondarra Crossing Park Splashez Aquatic Centre Please be advised that the Splashez Aquatic Centre will remain closed at this time. For more information, please call Council on 4747 3200.

Photo NPRSR Camooweal Caves National Park Management Statement 2013 Vision The Department of National Parks, Recreation, Sport and Racing’s Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS), in conjunction with the Indjalandji-Dhidhanu people, the Traditional Owners of the area, aim to restore and protect the natural and cultural values and to provide safe sustainable, nature based recreation and commercial tourism opportunities. Conservation purpose Camooweal Caves National Park of 13,800ha was initially gazetted on 23 January 1988 under the National Park and Wildlife Act 1975. It is approximately 24km south of Camooweal in north-western Queensland and 188km north-west of the city of Mount Isa and 14km east of the Northern Territory border. Camooweal Caves National Park is important for the Indjalandji-Dhidhanu People who have dreamtime legends associated with the area, in particular the waterholes, rivers, sinkholes and caves. The Camooweal Caves are extensive cavern systems developed beneath the flat surface of the Barkly Tableland in the vicinity of Camooweal township. The park was established to provide representation of these more broadly occurring geological features.

  • Queensland Geological Framework
    Geological framework (Compiled by I.W. Withnall & L.C. Cranfield) The geological framework outlined here provides a basic overview of the geology of Queensland and draws particularly on work completed by Geoscience Australia and the Geological Survey of Queensland. Queensland contains mineralisation in rocks as old as Proterozoic (~1880Ma) and in Holocene sediments, with world-class mineral deposits as diverse as Proterozoic sediment-hosted base metals and Holocene age dune silica sand. Potential exists for significant mineral discoveries in a range of deposit styles, particularly from exploration under Mesozoic age shallow sedimentary cover fringing prospective older terranes. The geology of Queensland is divided into three main structural divisions: the Proterozoic North Australian Craton in the north-west and north, the Paleozoic–Mesozoic Tasman Orogen (including the intracratonic Permian to Triassic Bowen and Galilee Basins) in the east, and overlapping Mesozoic rocks of the Great Australian Basin (Figure 1). The structural framework of Queensland has recently been revised in conjunction with production of a new 1:2 million-scale geological map of Queensland (Geological Survey of Queensland, 2012), and also the volume on the geology of Queensland (Withnall & others, 2013). In some cases the divisions have been renamed. Because updating of records in the Mineral Occurrence database—and therefore the data sheets that accompany this product—has not been completed, the old nomenclature as shown in Figure 1 is retained here, but the changes are indicated in the discussion below. North Australian Craton Proterozoic rocks crop out in north-west Queensland in the Mount Isa Province as well as the McArthur and South Nicholson Basins and in the north as the Etheridge Province in the Georgetown, Yambo and Coen Inliers and Savannah Province in the Coen Inlier.

  • Description of Ecological Communities: Arid Eucalypt Woodlands
    NEC 1.1: Bloodwood open woodlands of the northern inland plains Description Key flora and fauna and abiotic elements Woodlands dominated by Corymbia terminalis or C. opaca are grouped together in this NEC because they form communities with broadly similar biotic and abiotic features. There are eight communities in the NVIS data for the arid / semi-arid zone that contribute to its definition (Table 1). These woodlands occur in inland Queensland and Northern Territory. They are generally low open woodlands with a mixed shrub and grass understorey. The dominant bloodwoods are either C. terminalis or C. opaca. The geographic ranges of each of these species are broadly distinct (Figure 1), with C. terminalis to the north and east, and C. opaca more central and south (Hill and Johnson, 1995). Note that there are wide zones of intergradation between the various bloodwood species (Figure 1). Figure 1: Distribution of the bloodwood species: C. opaca (open circles), C. terminalis (plus), C. tumescens (solid circles), C. tumescens - C. terminalis (square), C. opaca - C. terminalis (open diamond) (from Hill and Johnson 1995, Fig 58). Species outside the semi-arid boundary have not been detailed here These woodlands grow on sandy to loamy red earths on flat or undulating sand plains (sub- communities 2, 4, 6, and 7), calcareous clays on plains or low-lying areas (sub-community 3 and 5) and alluvial soils on terraces and floodplains (sub-community 1) (Table 1, Attachment 1-1). The eucalypts in the bloodwood woodlands range from approximately three to 14 metres tall (Attachment 1-1). Some of the Queensland units (eg components of sub-community 2) contain variants that are Acacia dominated, often with emergent C.

  • The Camooweal Caves National Park Is Located 20Km from Camooweal in the Dry Barkly Tableland
    The entrance to Great Nowranie Cave, Camooweal. THE REMOTE KARSTS OF NORTH-WEST QUEENSLAND Riversleigh – Lawn Hill – Camooweal – Kent Henderson In late May this year I found myself in Mount Isa (north-west Queensland) on business for two weeks, so I ‘engineered’ a couple days towards the end of my trip to do a bit of karst tourism (as one would!). The City of Mount Isa (population 24,000) is, itself, a tad remote – being over two hours by air from Brisbane and about ten hours (900 km) by car from Townsville. There are three interesting karst locations within ‘striking distance’. First there is Riversleigh, the World Heritage-listed fossil site (in combination with Naracoorte Caves) 250 km north-west of Mount Isa. Second, there is the wonderful Lawn Hill National Park, about 30 km north of Riversleigh, and third the huge Camooweal karst area – 20 km south of the town of the same name – the town (population 320) being 189 km north-west of Mount Isa (only 13 km from the Northern Territory border). See the adjacent location map. My first excursion was to Riversleigh, but before doing so I visited the Riversleigh Fossil Centre – the principal ‘tourist trap’ in Mount Isa. It is very well done (as one would expect) – it is sort-of-like the Wonambi Fossil Centre at Naracoorte, but without all the moving megafauna. Upon entering, one sits in a small auditorium (decorated with fake speleothems…) to watch an introductory video – largely narrated by none other than Sir David Attenborough. Wonderful! One then winds through several short passages of excellent displays to a final room (more displays) – off which is the fossil lab.
