MINISTERIAL STATEMENTS Tamborine-Oxenford Road Hon. R. J. HINZE (South Coast—Minister for Local Govemment, Main Roads and Racing) (11.7 a.m.), by leave: The honourable member for Ipswich (Mr HamiU) has made a number of very serious statements that allege that I have abused my ministerial office with regard to the relocation of the Tamborine-Oxenford Road. According to the honourable member, the alleged purpose was to obtain benefit for myself, my family and my family company, MaraUnga Pty Ltd. I reject emphatically those allegations. They are simply not tme, and I flatly deny them. The land now being used for the extraction of gravel was formerly owned by me and, whilst I had ownership, on 29 March 1976 I entered into an agreeement with Farley and Lewers (Qld) Pty Ltd, which allowed that company to have the exclusive right to win, extract, process and remove sand and gravel. Subsequent to that agreement, ownership of the land passed to my family company, Maralinga Pty Ltd, and one of the conditions of transfer was that this agreement, which has a life of 20 years, stay in place. That agreement provided a retura by way of a royalty. That agreement was entered into long before any proposals to relocate the road, and would continue to exist whether or not the road was relocated and reconstmcted. Therefore, it is plainly obvious that neither myself or my family nor my family company owns or operates in this area any tmcks that transport gravel to the cmshing plant or beyond. Tmcks employed in the area for this purpose are owned by CSR- Readymix—the successors to Farley and Lewers (Qld) Pty Ltd; Nucon; Nucmsh, a Newman company; Coomera Quarries, which is not mine; and Sawtells. The only Maralinga tmcks using the roads in this area are those used for the cartage of grain for cattle, silage to silage pits, and topsoil. The haul road, which is used for the carriage of topsoU by Maralinga tmcks, is the old crossing, the use to which Maralinga, along with every other member of the motoring public, has always been entitled. It should be noted that there is no provision along the new road for physical access to any of Maralinga's land. Ministerial Statements 15 October 1985 1853 The honourable member for Ipswich aUeged that, on 19 December 1983, the Main Roads Department gave its blessing to what he referted to as "the Hinze plan" for the relocated road. That is not tme. The condition and location of this section of the road have been, for many years, a matter of concem for the Albert Shire CouncU. The section was dangerous and substandard. Even the honourable member himself referted to it as, "deteriorating". I table a letter that I received from the chairman of Albert shfre (CounciUor Laver) and seek leave to have that letter incorporated in Hansard. Leave granted. Whereupon the honourable gentleman laid on the table the following document— Mr Laver ALBERT SHIRE COUNCIL Ref No. WML:VG 14 October, 1985 Hon. R. J. Hinze, M.L.A., Minister for Local Goverament, Main Roads and Racing, Department of Local Govemment, P.O. Box 31, North Quay, Qld., 4000 Dear Sir, re: Oxenford-Tamborine Road I wish to advise that since the early nineteen fifties the problems of the crossing over the Coomera River at Oxenford has been discussed by CouncU members and considered by the Albert Shire Works Department Engineers, in conjunction with Engineers from the Department of Main Roads. The need for upgrading is well known. One life has already been lost, and in the last three years nine cars have ended in the river during storms or periods of wet weather. With the growth of the area this problem has been accentuated, and demands have been made in Council and there has been public pressure for upgrading the crossing. With the growth in the extractive industries in the area and the affect on the hydrology of the river. Council engaged Cameron and McNamara to report on the industry, any controls required and the relocation of the road network. Of the options recommended by Cameron and McNamara, the Shire Engineer and his staff recommended a relocation upstream. A modified version of this location was prepared by BurchiU and Partners and approved by Coundl and included in the Development Agreement. CouncU are pleased to see a longstanding demand achieved by the construction of the new road, and I have not viewed any complaints from residents of the area, in fact people to whom I have spoken are very happy about the new road. Yours faithfuUy, W. M. Laver, Shire Chairman. Mr Burns interjected. Mr SPEAKER: Order! Mr Burns interjected. Mr SPEAKER: Order! I inform the member for Lytton that this is his final waming. Mr HINZE: That letter gives a broad overview of the history of this road. In 1979, the Albert Shire CouncU commissioned consulting engineers Cameron McNamara and Partners to advise on the hydrological effects of sand and gravel extraction proposals in the Coomera River. That report, inter alia, concluded— "Replacement of the existing road crossing and weir is required as a result of the realignment of the Coomera River at this location." That was dated June 1979. On 31 August 1981, representatives of the Main Roads Department, the Albert Shfre Council and BurchiU and Partners, consulting engineers, met on site to discuss 1854 15 October 1985 Ministerial Statements road relocation options. As a result, a preUminary proposal was formulated and on 3 December 1982 the Albert Shire Council submitted that to the Main Roads Department district engineer. That letter attached a map showing the proposed relocation of the road at the Coomera River and asked whether the Main Roads Department was in general agreement with the design before further detailed works were continued. On 23 December 1982, the Main Roads Department replied to the Albert Shfre CouncU indicating broad agreement with the submitted relocation proposal. That reply to the councU requfred it to artange for Cameron McNamara and Partners to undertake an analysis of the hydrauUc performance of the vertical alignment of the proposed road in view of that firai's 1979 report. Subsequently, the councU advised the Main Roads Department that Cameron McNamara and Partners had undertaken that analysis and the ultimate design was then based upon that firm's recommendations. The honourable member for Ipswich (Mr HamiU) cited an aUeged approval by the Main Roads Department on 19 December 1983 for what he caUed "the Hinze plan". That is not tme. In fact, the plan was one submitted by the Albert Shfre CouncU a year before. That 19 December 1983 approval from the Main Roads Department was for a proposal to buUd a crossing at a higher level of flood immunity and an acceptance by the Main Roads Department of additional costs involved in this upgrading. The approval for the relocated route was made a year prior to that, after a submission from the Albert Shfre CouncU.

On the Cover: The purple-necked rock wallaby (Petrogale purpureicollis) inhabits a very rocky region – the North-West Highlands – where survival during heatwaves and droughts depends on access to shady rock shelters. Rising temperatures will render many of their smaller shade refuges unusuable. Photo: Brett Taylor Paperbarks (Melaleuca leucadendra) are the trees at most risk from sea level rise, because they are habitat dominants on recently formed plains near the sea where freshwater settles.

  • A Taxonomic Revision of the Genus Clerodendrum L
    J. Adelaide Bot. Gard. 11(2): 101-173 (1989) A TAXONOMIC REVISION OF THE GENUS CLERODENDRUM L. (VERBENACEAE)* IN AUSTRALIA Ahmad Abid Munir State Herbarium, Botanic Gardens, North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia 5000 Abstract A taxonomic revision of Clerodendrum in Australia is presented. The following ten species are recognised: C. costatum, C. floribundum, C. grayi, C. heterophyllum, C. inerme, C. longiflorum, C. parvulum, C. laid, C. tomentosum and C. tracyanum. Described as new are C. grayi and C. longiflorum var. glabrum (from Queensland). C. longiflorum and C. heterophyllum var. baueri f. angustifolium are recorded from Australia for the first time. C. costatum is reinstated as the oldest valid name for the species currently named C. cunninghamii. C. populneum is placed in the synonymy of C. floribundum var. ovatum. A new combination of C. tatei (based on Strobilanthus tatei F. Muell.) is made and C. holtzei is placed in its synonymy. C. lanceolatum is relegated to the rank of a variety under C. tomentosum. The following nine taxa are typified: C. costatum, C. cunninghamii, C. floribundum var. floribundum, C. floribundum var. coriaceum, C. floribundum var. ovatum, C. tatei, C. tomentosum var. lanceolatum, C. tomentosum var. mollissima and C. tracyanum. In the case of the non-endemic species a range of material including specimens from Malesia was examined. Affinities and distribution are considered for the genus and each species. A key to the species and infraspecific taxa is provided and a detailed description of each species is supplemented by a habit sketch of a flowering branch and analytical drawings of the flowers.

Yalanji Bama A rich array of plants and animals provided reliable food for the Eastern Kuku Yalanji people as they travelled seasonally throughout the area. The (people). coastal lowlands were particularly productive and could sustain a relatively large population. Understanding the weather cycles and the combination of vegetation types allowed the Eastern Kuku Yalanji people to find a variety of food throughout the year—when jilngan (mat grass) is in flower, it is time to collect jarruka (orange-footed scrubfowl) eggs and when jun jun (blue ginger) is fruiting, it is time to catch diwan (Australian brush-turkey).
