Below are examples of just some of the reasons that expensive airfares impact on Mount Isa and North West Queensland residents; Lifestyle/Cost of Living 1. Impacts on being able to regularly catch up with family and friends who live on the coast. Which often makes residents feel isolated especially after long periods of time of not seeing loved ones. 2. Emergency unplanned trips (needing to support someone sick, injured or dying) and the fear of not being able to afford the flight costs. 3. Puts enormous limitations on taking holidays/trips away. 4. Costs limit travel to Concerts, Museums, Conferences, Sporting Events, Shows, which is extremely disappointing for residents. 5. Missing out of significant events in your families and friends lives; weddings, special birthdays, births, special occasions is absolutely devastating for residents. 6. Limits participation in training and higher education. 7. Isolates the disadvantaged; families, retirees, single and low income households, pensioners (of all kinds). 8. Limits opportunities to participate in representative sport or opportunities with the Arts etc. 9. Can’t plan an event as sales are so far ahead and for such a short time, you could never co-ordinate an event with a sale.

  • At the Gold Coast Airport 'OOL' in Coolangatta/Tweed Heads From
    At the Gold Coast Airport ‘OOL’ in Coolangatta/Tweed Heads from approximately the last week in October to the first week in April each year being the time difference for New South Wales [N.S.W.] to commence daylight savings and Queensland [QLD] to remain on eastern [kilo] time zone which is six months of the year. The OOL airport is divided by the N.S.W. and QLD state boundary which is also divided by the different time zone. No other airport in the world shares a different time zone and this in itself has detrimental effects of residents that share the differing time zone in that; aircraft’s departing from OOL [which is managed by QLD] may arrive/depart from there time zone between 0600h to 2300h daily. This equates in N.S.W. as 0700h to midnight during daylight saving time. N.S.W. has a curfew for all airports from 0600h to 2300h operations, however due to the border and time difference dependent upon the wind this results in flights that are over N.S.W. curfew timing. With the advent of future increased flights from OOL and in particular to the rail linkage from Brisbane Airport to OOL, OOL will be the secondary and largest international/domestic airport in QLD. With additional timings for increased usage, the residents of N.S.W. will be adversely affected and especially at night time when sound is four times greater than during the day time. The question that needs to be asked is; given OOL is the only airport in the world that shares two time zones during the identified period mentioned above, is it possible that the curfew applies to arrivals and departures for QLD time during N.S.W.

    EPBC Act referral Note: PDF may contain fields not relevant to your application. These fields will appear blank or unticked. Please disregard these fields. Title of proposal 2020/8646 - Stage 1 Coomera Connector Section 1 Summary of your proposed action 1.1 Project industry type Transport - Land 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities The Australian and Queensland Government are committed to ensuring the efficiency and safety of the M1 Pacific Motorway (M1) as a key component of the National Land Transport Network. The M1 is the highest-trafficked road in Queensland and is an enabling link for long distance traffic (freight, tourism, commercial and commuter) between economic hubs on the east coast of Queensland and New South Wales. The lack of capacity on the road network between Brisbane and the Gold Coast was highlighted as a problem in the Infrastructure Australia Audit. The 2015 Audit identified the M3/M1 Pacific Motorway in the top ten road corridors with the highest projected delay cost by 2031 nationally, and the section from Beenleigh to Helensvale as the third largest projected delay cost in the corridor in Queensland in 2031. The 2019 Audit projected the cost of congestion for the Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast area to increase to over $9 billion by 2031. The Brisbane to Gold Coast corridor has been, and will continue to be, one of the fastest growing areas in Australia. The cities of Logan and Gold Coast will continue to experience high rates of residential growth, while the city of Brisbane will have the highest growth in employment in Queensland – thereby being an important source of employment for commuting residents in Logan and on the Gold Coast.
