Our Vision A great place to live, work and play. 4 Annual Report 2012 - 2013 Mayor’s Message I present to you the Annual Report for the 2012 - 2013 Council operations in the Hinchinbrook Shire. Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA) are still ongoing as our Shire continues to recover from natural disasters. The Shire again received extensive flooding in the week leading up to Australia Day in January 2013 as a result of ex tropical cyclone Oswald. Our Shire sustained approximately $130.3 Million of damage inclusive of cyclone Yasi in 2011. To date approximately $97.5 Million of works have been delivered. Yanks Jetty, which is owned and maintained by Council, was also damaged during Cyclone Yasi. Council was able to secure funding under NDRRA to repair the jetty. The boating public from Hinchinbrook and Townsville are regular users of the jetty and to have the jetty restored is a bonus to the community. Highlights of Council works completed for 2012 - 2013 are as follows: • Seal extension of Kirkwoods Road • Local Area Traffic Management and street scape on Davidson Street • Kerb protection on Beatts Road • Rehabilitation and seal works on Morton’s Road funded under Roads to Recovery • Kerb and channel replacement and rehabilitation as well as footpath rehabilitation Works completed under the Transport Infrastructure Development Scheme in 2012 - 2013: • Wallaman Falls Road where sealing works have been undertaken on steep gradient sections of the range with works continuing to focus on augmentation to improve safety and amenity • Completion of the footpath extension from Log Creek bridge • Trebonne pathway improvements • Passenger set downs at the Halifax State School, Saint Peters School and Abergowrie State School • Footpath extension at Our Lady of Lourdes School For the first time, Council is utilising social media through my Mayor’s facebook page. Facebook will also be used as a tool during times of a natural disaster to publish up to date information that is of relevance to the community. At other times it will be used to communicate general information of interest. Council is represented by myself on the North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils and the Far North Queensland Regional Organisation of Councils (FNQROC) by the Deputy Mayor, Councillor Lynch. Council remains aligned with FNQROC being the Council on the southern end of this region. Council is also a member of the North Queensland Regional Economic Development sub-committee of the Regional Organisation of Councils (RED-ROC). The Sub-Committee identifies objectives relating to regional leadership, actions to achieve economic development and associated benefits to the region and communities, and advocacy to represent 5 Annual Report 2012 - 2013 the economic development needs of the region to stakeholders and in particular the Commonwealth and Queensland Government. Council representatives on RED-ROC are the Mayor, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Manager Development and Planning, while the Hinchinbrook Chamber of Commerce, Tourism and Industry Inc. is also a member. Council was proud to support the Hinchinbrook Chamber of Commerce, Tourism and Industry Inc. as they launched the 2013 Hinchinbrook Economic Snapshot. This publication has been developed to provide a snapshot of the economy that comprises the Hinchinbrook Shire and to highlight the substantial provision of services available to the community. The publication can be found online at the chamber web site and has been placed in hard copy at many local businesses. It has been published to spread the word about Hinchinbrook to our visitors and those who are about to take up residence in the Shire. Accolades to the Chamber for taking the initiative with this publication. To hone the skills of the Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG), Ingham participated in “Exercise Good Neighbour.” This was a desk top exercise to assist Townsville after it was devastated by a mock cyclone. The exercise was all about being prepared in times of disaster with the Ingham LDMG being able to react and assist our neighbouring Councils.

  • Prospects for Aquaculture and Amendments to the Fisheries Act Under the Primary Industries and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2003 (Qld)
    Queensland Parliamentary Library Prospects for Aquaculture and amendments to the Fisheries Act under the Primary Industries and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2003 (Qld) At least two recent developments have put the spotlight on aquaculture in Queensland. The first is the proposal for the development of a fish farm in Moreton Bay. Secondly, there has been an escalation in regulatory controls on recreational and commercial wild fish catches to guard against overexploitation. Aquaculture is a developing and promising Queensland industry that may have the potential to fill the gap between the public’s demand for fish and shellfish and the emerging shortage in wild fish supplies. However, there are a number of factors that impact upon the development of the aquaculture industry with environmental impacts of projects being a primary issue for producers. A number of regulatory controls on aquaculture developments are aimed at minimising environmental harm, including a development assessment process under the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (Qld). In recognition of the problems created for producers by duplication of planning and assessment processes, the Primary Industries and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2003 (Qld) has been introduced to amend the Fisheries Act 1994 (Qld) to require that certain fisheries development proposals are assessed under the Integrated Planning Act 1997.

Should you have any queries please contact me on the above phone number. Yours sincerely R. J. Richardson 3 SUBMISSION TO THE FEDERAL REDISTRIBUTION OF ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES IN QUEENSLAND BY BOB RICHARDSON COMMENTS ON SUGGESTIONS General:- • All of the ‘suggestions’ except mine left the existing 30 Divisions with the same names. • Most made only minor changes, especially in regional and rural areas. • While giving ‘lip service’ to the need to follow Local Government boundaries, as a means of ‘Community interest’ most did not address the problems of splitting cities, such as Mackay, Rockhampton, and the Fraser Coast. I believe that this, without having fit another Division in, is the opportunity for the Redistribution Committee to bring Divisions like Dawson back to where they traditionally belong. 4 DIVISION OF LEICHHARDT In my ‘suggestions’ I discussed the disadvantage to the residents on Cape York Peninsula (referred to hereupon throughout this submission as ‘the Cape’) and the Torres Strait Islands (referred to throughout this submission as ‘the Islands’), however I did not mention a matter closer to Cairns, the population growth of the Cairns area, from Palm Cave to Gordonvale.
