Before proceeding, the committee wishes to stress that, although it examines witnesses at its public hearings, a committee hearing is not a court of law. The purpose of the committee’s inquiry is not to stop the Port Hinchinbrook development, nor is it to give it official approval. In its role of Senate environment committee, the committee’s primary focus is on environmental issues. For this reason we have not accepted submissions and will not hear evidence which does not address environmental issues related to the proposed develop- ment at Port Hinchinbrook. Committee public hearings give to a wide range of people an opportunity to have their concerns heard in a parliamentary forum. The committee recognises the sensitivity of the issues before it and the strength of feeling generated by those issues. However, we ask that all those present respect the right of each witness to be heard in silence. If there are any disruptions to the evidence of any witness, we intend to suspend proceedings immediately. I call for your cooperation for the democratic process to take its course. Those who wish to respond to issues raised in the evidence of witnesses heard today will be able to do so in writing to the committee. The committee prefers that evidence be given in public, but, should you at any stage wish to give your evidence, part of your evidence or answers to specific questions in camera, you may ask to do so and the committee will consider your request. I point out, however, that evidence taken in camera may subsequently be made public by order of the Senate. I welcome Mr Greg Smith and other representatives of the Cardwell Chamber of Commerce to the table. ENVIRONMENT, RECREATION, COMMUNICATIONS AND THE ARTS ERC&A 2 SENATE—References Thursday, 30 July 1998 [9.07 a.m.] HALLAM, Mr Lindsay John, Chairman, Port Hinchinbrook Subcommittee, Cardwell Chamber of Commerce, P.O.

Box 14, Cardwell, Queensland 4849 WHITEMAN, Mr William Grant, Deputy Chair, Cardwell Chamber of Commerce, P.O. Box 14, Cardwell, Queensland 4849 Mr Whiteman—Just to correct the record, Mr Greg Smith, the chairman of our chamber, will not be attending this morning. We wish to pass on his apologies. He had an accident last night and is in hospital in Townsville today, so I will be acting chair. CHAIR—Thank you. The committee has before it submission No. 123 which it has authorised to be published. Are there any alterations or additions you would care to make before I invite you to make an opening statement? Mr Whiteman—No. CHAIR—We invite you to make a brief opening statement or we can proceed straight to questions. Mr Whiteman—I have a short opening statement. First of all, I would like to welcome the committee to Cardwell. Unlike other Senate inquiries, we appreciate you taking the opportunity to come to Cardwell to discuss with us as local representatives local issues regarding Port Hinchinbrook and the Hinchinbrook Channel. Our charter is to ensure the best future management of our area. The vast majority of residents know that the Port Hinchinbrook development is consistent with this goal, and our membership comprises a wide cross-section of our community ranging from farming to light industry, tourism, small business and genuine conservationists. This morning we would like to concentrate on the positive benefits that will be enjoyed, and are already being enjoyed, by our community through the Port Hinchinbrook develop- ment. Lindsay Hallam, the chairperson of our Port Hinchinbrook subcommittee, will address these benefits from a community and business point of view, while Ros Oellermann will respond to tourism issues. Bill Whiteman, our vice-president, will address your committee

  • 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.

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.
