  • Planning for Stronger More Resilient Floodplains
    Queensland Reconstruction Authority Planning for stronger, more resilient floodplains Part 1 – Interim measures to support floodplain management in existing planning schemes The scale and scope of the weather events which affected Queensland in 2010/2011 meant that to plan and build stronger, more resilient communities into the future, Councils need better information to make informed decisions about how and where we build. To assist Queensland’s Councils, the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (the Authority) has undertaken the largest floodplain mapping exercise in the State’s history. The maps contained in the toolkit - Planning for stronger, more resilient floodplains are drawn from evidence of past flooding, including soils, topography and satellite imagery. They are informed by the 2010/2011 summer disasters but do not represent the actual flood line for that period. Why? Because while the whole of Queensland was affected last summer, we know there have been larger floods in some areas in the past. What the maps do show are areas where inundation has previously occurred or may occur. At the conclusion of this mapping exercise, floodplain mapping will be available for the whole of Queensland. The State’s river systems do not stop at local government boundaries and so for the first time, these floodplain maps have been developed on a sub-basin wide basis. And with them, comes the opportunity for Councils to adopt the floodplain maps and supporting development controls into existing planning schemes. This Guideline provides Councils - especially those who lack the resourcing capacity to undertake detailed studies - with a ready- made toolkit to help assess future development applications and the opportunity to better align floodplain management and land use planning.

  • Water Quality Analysis of the Dee River and a Nearby Bore
    Joel Johnson, 2/6/15, Year 11 Term 2, EEI 1.2 Water Quality Analysis of the Dee River and a Nearby Bore Photograph 1. The Dee River about one kilometre downstream of the mine Introduction The Dee River, located in Central Queensland, is one of Queensland’s most polluted waterways. The acid mine drainage from the Mount Morgan mine includes high levels of acid, sulphates, salts and heavy metals, including iron, copper, zinc and aluminium (King, 2013) (Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, 2013). Around 18 km downstream from the mine site, Fletcher’s Creek joins the Dee River. Both Fletcher’s Creek and the Dee River flow intermittently, mainly during periods of rainfall. Fletcher’s Creek is slightly alkaline (Chapman & Simpson 2005), so when it is flowing it will neutralize the Dee River water somewhat. It also dilutes the Dee, lowering the salinity levels. Twenty kilometres downstream from the mine, the Dee River flows through ‘Mandalay’, where it is used to water beef cattle. The bore tested is located on a neighbouring property, about 400 Joel Johnson, 2/6/15, Year 11 Term 2, EEI 1.2 metres away from the Dee, and its primary purpose is also for watering beef cattle. The bore is around 23 metres deep, and presumably draws its water from an underground aquifer. The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries states that “the highest levels of copper and aluminium observed in the Dee River may pose a low level of risk to animal health”, and suggests that “producers may consider whether to have the quality of bore water used for cattle watering tested, to confirm it is suitable for consumption” (2013).
