Committee Secretary Senate Standing Committees on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600
Committee Secretary Senate Standing Committees on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Phone: +61 2 6277 3511 Fax: +61 2 6277 5811 [email protected] Dear Sir/Madam, RE: The operation, regulation and funding of air route service delivery to rural, regional and remote communities SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF AIR ROUTE SUPPLY AND AIRFARE PRICING; Mount Isa Businesses, Schools, Hospital and most organisations have significant trouble attracting and retaining a skilled workforce. 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. -
Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion
Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion “Field of Dreams” Presentation by ResDev Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Background • The Sunshine Coast Council has submitted an EIS to the Queensland Coordinator General for the expansion of the Sunshine Coast Airport (SCA) with a new, 2.45km, east west runway. • ResDev, a subgroup of the Mudjimba Residents Association, has examined the EIS for the SCA Expansion and made submissions to the Coordinator General challenging a range of issues in the EIS. • Following an assessment of the 986 submissions from the public (85% opposed to the Project), the Coordinator General sought additional information from the proponent and then public comment on the Additional EIS. • The Coordinator General conditionally approved the EIS and AEIS in its report of May 2016. Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Some Facts about the existing SCA • Main 18/36 runway -1793m x 30m Minor 12/30 runway - 695m x18m • Fully laden B737 and A320 aircraft can reach destinations on the east coast of Australia. • The runway length can reduce outbound carrying capacity to Auckland and Adelaide (by 17%). • Hence, the existing runway can service flights to 85% of the Australian and 90% of the NZ populations. Sunshine Coast • Since the airport opened in 1961 residential development in Mudjimba and Marcoola has avoided the flight path of 1230 east west Airport Expansion runway (bearing 308 degrees true north). • Through the mid 1980s to the 1998 Airport Master Plan the future east west (13/31) runway had a bearing of 316 degrees true north. • The Maroochy 2000 Plan also indicated the bearing of the future 1331 runway to be 316 degrees true north. -
Submission to the Joint Standing Commission on Treaties Military
Submission to the Joint Standing Commission on Treaties Military Training - Singapore EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Rockhampton Regional Council (RRC) welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Joint Standing Commission on Treaties into the ‘Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of the Republic of Singapore concerning Military Training and Training Area Development in Australia’ signed on 23 March 2020 (the Agreement). RRC recognises the close and comprehensive bilateral relationship with Singapore as one of Australia's closest and most comprehensive in Southeast Asia. Based on long-standing Commonwealth, defence, education, political, trade and tourism links, as well as on the two countries' similar strategic outlook, the relationship was elevated through the Joint declaration by the Prime Ministers of Australia and Singapore on a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP), signed on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The Rockhampton Region is proud and committed to continue its integral role in the defence of the nation through the provision of goods and services in support of Australia’s defence posture and the training activities conducted at the Shoalwater Bay Training Area (SWBTA) for over 50 years. It is equally proud of its role in supporting the annual military exercises undertaken at SWBTA since 1990 by the SAF personnel which has contributed to the comprehensive and longstanding defence and security partnership between the two countries and which has been strengthened by strong patterns of joint exercises and training and close collaboration in operational environments. The unique ties and relationships that have been established between the people and business community of Rockhampton and those in Singapore have deepened over the period of this longstanding relationship, benefitting our two countries and contributing to regional economic growth. -

Scholarship Partners Corporate Partners Supporting Partners Event Partners Gold Coast Professor Elizabeth Roberts Jingeri Thank you for you interest in supporting the valuable Indigenous scholarship program offered by Bond University. The University has a strong commitment to providing educational opportunities and a culturally safe environment for Indigenous students. Over the past several years the scholarship program has matured and our Indigenous student cohort and graduates have flourished. We are so proud of the students who have benefited from their scholarship and embarked upon successful careers in many different fields of work. The scholarship program is an integral factor behind these success stories. Our graduates are important role models in their communities and now we are seeing the next generation of young people coming through, following in the footsteps of the students before them. It is my honour and privilege to witness our young people receiving the gift of education, and I thank you for partnering with us to create change.

Air Quality 10
CR Tabs_Main:Layout 1 14/5/09 3:15 PM Page 10 Air Quality 10 10 Air Quality The air quality assessment for the Caval Ridge Project has considered the potential release of dust from the site due to earth moving and mining activities associated with the construction and operation of the project. This assessment evaluates the emission sources together with the proposed mitigation measures, to determine the potential impacts at local residential communities. The air quality assessment comprises an evaluation of the local climate as well as the existing environment in relation to particulate matter. Meteorology plays an important role in the transport and dispersion of dust away from the mine site and an understanding of the local meteorological environment is crucial when assessing the impact on emissions from the mine on nearby sensitive receptors. Dispersion modelling has been performed using the DERM approved Calmet/Calpuff modelling package. A detailed emissions inventory has been established using expected activity data, in conjunction with emission factors from both the Australian National Pollutant Inventory (NPI) emission estimation manual and USEPA AP-42 emission estimation manual, which are used in the absence of site-specific data. The predicted impacts from the proposed mine operation on local air quality incorporating BMA’s proposed air quality control methods, are presented in this assessment. Mining activities for the project have been evaluated for three scenarios: Year 1, representing construction of the initial box cut in the Horse Pit, and mining operations in the Heyford Pit (for which the box cut has already been completed) Year 2, representing the first year of mining operations, in both pits, on the western side of the project site Year 20, representing mining towards the eastern side of the project site and reflecting the increasing proportion of overburden removed as the mining depth increases. -
