Magistrates Court- Annual Report 2005-2006- Our Regions OUR REGIONS Northern Region NORTHERN REGION The Queensland Magistrates Court’s Northern Region covers an area which sweeps from Ayr on the coral coast, westward to the Northern Territory border, then north across the Gulf of Carpenteria and Cape York Peninsula to the many islands that dot the Torres Strait. Combine the azure and emerald of the reef and rainforests with the grey-greens of the savannah wilderness, of the western tableland and gulf shores with the rich ochre reds and browns of the far west and you have the kaleidoscope that is Northern Queensland. The region is home to two World Heritage Listed areas—the Wet Tropics Coastline from Cooktown to Townsville and the Great Barrier Reef. The communities and lifestyles within Thursday Island our region are as diverse as its landscape. Throughout the region, 16 magistrates Weipa administer justice to over 33 communities from the following major court centres: Cairns 6 magistrates Cooktown Mossman Innisfail 1 magistrate Cairns Mareeba Atherton Normanton Innisfail Mareeba 1 magistrate Tully Georgetown Mount Isa 1 magistrate Ingham Palm Island NORTHERN REGION Townsville Ayr Townsville 6 magistrates Charters Towers Mount Isa Julia Creek Cloncurry Richmond Northern Relieving Hughenden Magistrate (based in Cairns) 1 magistrate Cairns Table 11: The jurisdiction of the court based in Cairns Cairns Magistrates Court 2005–06 extends from Trinity Inlet in the south and stretches along the east and western shores Jurisdiction totals of Cape York to Thursday Island and Badu Island in the Torres Strait.

However, we are pleased to report that there appears to have been a reduction in serious violent offences since the introduction of the local Alcohol Management Plan. Annual Report 2005—2006 103 The court facilities at most other circuit centres are adequate; however, those at Lockhart River and Aurukun urgently need upgrading. In both of these centres, the Magistrates Court is required to sit within the confi nes of the local police station—a situation not in keeping with the perception of the independence essential for a magistrate to carry out judicial duties. Access to our circuits is affected by weather and road conditions. This year, in March and April, the advent of cyclones Larry and Monica caused several of our circuits Gathering of Cairns Magistrates—November 2005 to be abandoned. With the cooperation of (back l–r) Magistrates Spencer, Previtera and Braes the Cairns Police Prosecution Corps, the (front l–r) Magistrates, Dwyer, Black and Kluck Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Legal Service and the region’s court registry staff, three of our magistrates conducted longer At the beginning of the year, circuits in May and June to clear the backlog the workload at Cooktown required the of court matters caused by the cyclonic circuiting magistrate to preside there for disruptions. up to three days, sitting regularly from 7.30am to 8pm.

They are actively involved with the staff and students of the James Cook University School of Law, with some students assigned to magistrates this year for work experience. In the near future, we hope that a formal work experience program can be developed to enable law students to work with magistrates in a voluntary capacity for the mutual benefi t of both the courts and the students. Throughout the year, the Cairns’ magistrates have regularly been involved, as adjudicators, in moot competitions conducted by schools and colleges. One magistrate sits Magistrate Braes holding court at the Mt Garnett as a member of judiciary tribunals for Rugby Community Hall. League and Touch Football Associations.

  • Appendix 3G Further Perspectives on the Financial Benefits of Local Government Amalgamations
    3G-1 Appendix 3G Further Perspectives on the Financial Benefits of Local Government Amalgamations Appendix 3G has five sections which support the section in Chapter 3 on estimates of the financial benefits of local government amalgamations. The first section further examines the KPMG estimates that savings of up to $845 million per annum could be achieved in NSW through local government amalgamations. This first section also includes a critique of the KPMG estimates by Judith McNeill. The second section presents a Darwinian survival perspective to the debate on the preferred sizes of local governments. The third section briefly discusses the self-limiting effect whereby the strength of the argument in favour of local government amalgamations must in some senses diminish with each successfully achieved amalgamation. The fourth section, in Table 3G-3, provides a compilation of extracts from 113 Australian and international literature sources which provide valuable insights on the local government amalgamation debate generally and which appear to provide important lessons for this current study. KPMG's Financial Benefit Estimates Consultants KPMG explored four local government amalgamation options, and establishes estimates of cost savings possible through each of these options, in a 1998 report prepared for the Property Council of NSW. Table 3G-1 below summarises the key findings in this report, where savings estimates are based on 1995-96 data.

  • Welcome to the First Edition of RBDM's Family History Journal, a New
    Issue 16 Dear Colleagues It is with a sense of accomplishment that I announce we have reached the end of a long process to produce the new JP and Cdec handbooks. Since delivery, we have been busily preparing and dispatching copies of the handbook to meet your orders, and it is gratifying to see how popular they are. I want to thank you all for your patience while we worked through the process, as well as for the wonderful feedback many of you have provided. The concept of having loose leaf pages will prove worthwhile in time when updates to the handbooks are required. The new handbooks will be a valuable tool for years to come in your important community role. Also, we will continue to provide timely updates through Technical Bulletins on any relevant change. Recently, I received a copy of a JP Handbook from 1927 which outlined the powers and duties at the time for JPs in Queensland. It makes for interesting reading and highlighted how much things have changed. This handbook will be added to other memorabilia to be displayed at JP Branch. If you have anything that you think may also be historical to the role and would like to donate, please contact us to discuss. Also, this edition of the JP Bulletin contains information about advance health directives for mental health and witnessing Title Registry forms for “off the plan” purchase. With the release of both new handbooks and the continuing expansion of the volunteer JPs in the Community Program, this is truly an exciting time to be a JP or Cdec in Queensland.
