    Item: Scenic Rim Draft LG Report Date: Last updated 11 November 2014 2014 Update of the SEQ NRM Plan: Scenic Rim How can the SEQ NRM Plan support the Community’s Vision for the future of Scenic Rim? Supporting Document no. 7 for the 2014 Update of the SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan. Note regards State Government Planning Policy: The Queensland Government is currently undertaking a review of the SEQ Regional Plan 2009. Whilst this review has yet to be finalised, the government has made it clear that the “new generation” statutory regional plans focus on the particular State Planning Policy issues that require a regionally-specific policy direction for each region. This quite focused approach to statutory regional plans compares to the broader content in previous (and the current) SEQ Regional Plan. The SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan has therefore been prepared to be consistent with the State Planning Policy.

  • Brisbane Valley Rail Trail – Australia's Longest Trail
    IPWEAQ State Conference 22-24 October 2019 Brisbane Valley Rail Trail – Australia’s Longest Trail A Johnson1 1Somerset Regional Council, QLD Abstract The Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT), a 157km long, off-road recreational trail is finished, with the final 27km recently completed by Somerset Regional Council. It is the longest trail in Australia and follows the disused Brisbane Valley rail corridor. Walkers, cyclists and horse riders now have a unique opportunity to experience the diverse rural landscape of the breath-taking Brisbane Valley. The project is so much more than a successful engineering outcome – it has recycled a dormant rail corridor into an iconic recreational trail that is attracting visitors and new businesses to the Somerset region. The final 27km section, Toogoolawah to Moore (T2M), was completed in June 2018, after numerous rounds of unsuccessful funding election commitments, and finally realised through a collaborative funding push by the community, local and state governments. Council prepared a business case to secure funding from the Australian Government’s Better Building Regions Fund. Community support was evident, and the cost/benefit ratio confirmed the project’s benefits would clearly outweigh the delivery cost. Council successfully secured funding totaling $3.35M. Council delivered a landmark project for Somerset and broader South-East Queensland community - the following overarching objectives were achieved: The region is benefitting from the delivery of world-class recreational trail with increased visitation to the region It’s recycled a dormant corridor with long-term community and economic benefits Residents have easy access to a recreational trail delivering health, social and cultural experiences Employment growth was achieved during construction, and jobs in rail trail operations and tourism are now created The visual outlook of the corridor has been enhanced The community’s profile is vibrant from increased public exposure And Queensland’s reputation as a cycling tourism destination has been strengthened.

    Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan CONTROLLED COPY No._____ Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan Part 1 Main Plan and Annexes 1 Preliminaries Version 2.00 Aug 09 Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Plan 1. Preliminaries P1.01 Foreword from Chair of Somerset Regional Council Local Disaster Management Group Somerset Regional is a dynamic area of the Brisbane Valley in South East Queensland which is experiencing moderate growth and despite its idyllic lifestyle the area is occasionally subjected to the impact of disasters both natural and non-natural. The Shire has a wide range of topography, changing demographics and diversified industries; therefore there is a need for a dynamic and robust Local Disaster Management Plan. This local disaster management plan, prepared by the Somerset Regional Local Disaster Management Group under the authority of the Disaster Management Act 2003, forms the basis and guidelines for the Prevention, Preparedness, Response and Recovery activities of the joint agencies within the Somerset Regional Council area, when responding to a disaster that has impacted or has the potential to seriously impact upon the Shire’s communities and its infrastructure. Threat specific plans for the most likely threats such as flooding and emergency animal/plant disease have been developed along with supporting Operational Functional Plans. The plan is a dynamic document that will be kept up to date to match changes in legislation and reflect lessons learnt from natural disasters elsewhere in the State. Whilst as a community we may not be able to prevent disaster from occurring, we can through planning, prepare our community and enhance its resilience to the adverse impact of any threat.
