Debus-López, Chief, U.S. General Division From: Michael Panzer, Assistant Editor Giles Martin, Consulting Assistant Editor Winton Matthews, Consulting Assistant Editor Dewey Decimal Classification OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. Via: Joan S. Mitchell, Editor in Chief Dewey Decimal Classification OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc Re: T2—943 Administrative divisions in Queensland At the last EPC meeting, Anne Robertson asked the editorial team to look at the changes in local government areas (LGAs) in the Brisbane region. She later elaborated that although it is her view “that with the availability of the Australian Standard Geographic Classification the Statistical Divisions are the most stable units for the eventual Table 2 revisions of Australia as a whole: the National Library has no desire to undertake this at present. What is required is a revision of Table 2 for Queensland to reflect the recent amalgamations, and comprehensive indexing for national parks, new cities such as the Gold Coast so that the correct area table is applied etc.” The exhibit gives background information concerning a possible development incorporating the LGAs. 1 LGAs used to subdivide Queensland in Table 2 The existing subdivision of T2—943 Queensland into districts is based on the local government boundaries as they existed about 30 years ago, although the local government areas are not actually named in the table. However, as you work through the map and index entries in Australia DDC Area Table and Index (published by the National Library of Australia in 1982, and used by DDC from Edition 19 onwards), the use of LGA boundaries becomes clear. (That publication is cited as “the NLA index” in this exhibit.) If you look at the introduction to the 1982 NLA Index, you find that the districts were based on “Shire boundaries (statistical divisions)” used in 1941. Those statistical divisions are not administrative units, but were used for statistical purposes, and are documented in the contemporary publications of the Queensland Government Statistician. In particular, they are documented in the 1941 issue of the Queensland Yearbook, available on the Web at: http://www.ausstats.abs.gov.au/ausstats/free.nsf/0/ABC4CA2AC7651B5ECA257749001A89C3/ $File/13013%20-Qld%20YrBook%20-%201941.pdf In that publication, the LGAs in each statistical division are listed on pages 29–31, and there are maps on pages 254 and 255. That publication has 13 statistical divisions, while T2—943 divides into 8 regions, by grouping some statistical divisions together, and by also separating Brisbane from the rest of Southeast Queensland. Here is a table comparing the 1941 statistical divisions with T2—943: 1941 Statistical Divisions DDC Table 2 South Moreton —9431 and Brisbane metropolitan district and Queensland —9432 Southeastern district Maryborough —9432 Southeastern district Downs —9433 Downs district Roma —9434 Southwestern district South Western —9434 Southwestern district Central Rockhampton —9435 Central district Queensland Central Western —9435 Central district Far Western —9435 Central district North Mackay —9436 Northeastern district Quensland Townsville —9436 Northeastern district Cairns —9436 Northeastern district Peninsula —9438 Peninsula and Torres Strait Islands North Western —9437 Northwestern district Over the 70 years since 1941 there have been several changes in LGAs in Queensland, and the index to the 1982 NLA publication reflects the first 40 years of those changes. 2 There was a major reorganization of local government boundaries in Queensland in 2008, when most LGAs in Queensland were amalgamated. This proposal deals with the impact of that reorganization on T2—943, and proposes some relocations to ensure that each LGA is at one Table 2 notation. Maps of the LGAs are available at: http://www.regional.gov.au/local/publications/index.aspx and maps of individual local government areas are at: http://www.oesr.qld.gov.au/products/maps/qld-lga-asgc-2011/index.php All LGAs given in the development It is also proposed that each LGA be named in T2—943 so that the exact extent of each district is clear to users. Currently the districts in T2—943 are not well-defined in DDC Table 2 or in the Relative Index, and it is necessary to find some details in the NLA index. However, as Giles found, that publication does contain some inconsistencies. The LGAs defining the districts will be listed in the first including note, except for T2—9431, where it is proposed that they be listed in the caption. Form of name of the LGAs A variety of sources were used to cross-check names of LGAs, including Wikipedia, the Queensland local government directory at http://www.dlgp.qld.gov.au/local-government- directory/ , and the maps listed above. Three issues were found: • Hope Vale Aboriginal Shire is sometimes referred to as “Hopevale” (one word). “Hope Vale” is the form used on the council’s website http://www.hopevale.qld.gov.au/ and in most other sources. • The Torres Strait Island Region was referred to as “Torres Strait Islands Region” (with an “s” after “Island”) in Wikipedia. At the suggestion of one of us, this was changed while this exhibit was being written. All other sources, including the regional council’s website http://www.tsirc.qld.gov.au/ , use the singular “Island”. • Weipa is not strictly a local government area (being run by Rio Tinto Alcan under its own act), so it does not appear on some lists of LGAs. For the form of name in Table 2, the form used in the Queensland local government directory, but with the word “Council” left off, since Table 2 is about places and not corporations. For example, it has “Cairns Region” instead of “Cairns Regional Council”. If you leave off the name of the type of LGA, the name often becomes ambiguous. For example, “Brisbane” is often used to denote the Brisbane metropolitan area, which is much larger than the incorporated city. On the other hand, for Australia Post “Brisbane” means the 4000 postcode area, which is only the 3 Brisbane CBD. The use of “city” to indicate an administrative unit, not a metropolitan area, is similar to that use in Scotland, England, and New Zealand and is explain in the two Manual notes at “T2—41 and T2—42 Scotland and England” and “T2—93 New Zealand”. A similar new Manual note for “T2—943 Queensland” will be developed. For the form of name in the Relative Index, we will generally use the heading established by the National Library of Australia. However, the NLA has not created authority records for most LGAs, and has some inconsistencies in usage. In cases of doubt, we will follow the Libraries Australia guidelines for establishing Australian local government authorities ( http://www.nla.gov.au/librariesaustralia/training-support/manuals-guides/establishing-name- authorities/establishing-local-govt-authorities/ ) Specific entries for some LGAs We also did some checking of literary warrant using the FAST database at http://fast.oclc.org/ and have proposed some expansions based on that. The warrant that we found is given in the following table, where the column headed “Localities” gives the places in the LGA where significant literary warrant was found. For example, in the Tablelands Region the warrant is that for Atherton and Atherton Tableland added together -- Tablelands Region does not have an entry in the FAST database. We expanded for each LGA with warrant over 350, and for all the LGAs bordering on Brisbane or on Ipswich, and in the notation we left gaps for the other LGAs in case of future expansion. LGA Localities Brisbane City Brisbane, Moreton Island 12,086 Gold Coast City Coolangatta, Gold Coast, Southport, Surfers Paradise 1,782 Townsville City Magnetic Island, Townsville 1,652 Sunshine Coast Region Caloundra, Maroochydore, Noosa Heads, Sunshine Coast 1,492 Rockhampton Region Mount Morgan, Rockhampton, Yeppoon 1,448 Fraser Coast Region Fraser Island, Hervey Bay, Maryborough 1,188 Torres Strait Islands Region Thursday Island, Torres Strait Islands 1,118 Toowoomba Region Toowoomba 1,068 Cairns Region Cairns 1,055 Ipswich City Ipswich 715 Mackay Region Mackay 655 Gladstone Region Gladstone 557 Bundaberg Region Bundaberg 514 Moreton Bay Region Caboolture, Redcliffe 451 Weipa Weipa 428 Tablelands Region Atherton, Atherton Tableland 398 4 Redland City North Stradbroke Island, Redland 369 Gympie Region Gympie 357 Isaac Region Clermont 346 Charters Towers Region Charters Towers 307 Mount Isa City Mount Isa 305 National parks The current development gives many national parks. It is our understanding that national parks have a different meaning in Australia than in the United States, where we have both national and state parks. Australia doesn’t make the distinction in the same way. Most “national parks” are run by the states, including the oldest national park, the Royal National Park, established as the “National Park” by the colony of New South Wales before Australia was a nation and before Yellowstone was a “national park”. The national parks that were given when the current development was introduced in 1982 were those that would potentially have publications about them. For this proposed development, those parks were retained and no new parts were added. 5 Proposed relocations From To T2—9431 T2—94323 Eastern part of Ipswich City T2—9432 T2—94312 Former Caboolture

The coast is characterised by a diverse range of natural features including sandy beaches, rocky headlands, rainforests, woodlands and grasslands, extensive intertidal flats, and substantial areas of coastal wetlands (Environmental Protection Agency, 2004). Population growth and other development in the Mackay region is placing increased pressures on coastal resources, and limiting the resilience of the system to respond to fluctuations in the natural environment.
