Paul Lucas MP Minister for Ourref: MC17946 Transport and Main Roads Your ref: 588-05 1 5 DEC 2005 Mr Neil Laurie The Clerk of the Parliament Parliament House George Street Brisbane Qld 4000 Re: Petition No 588-05 Proposed upgrade of the Kennedy Highway, between SmithHeld and Kuranda (locally known as the Kuranda Range Road) I refer to the petition number 588-05 lodged with the Legislative Assembly on 23 November 2005 by Ms Rosa Lee Long MP, Member for Tablelands, regarding the proposed upgrade of the Kennedy Highway, between Smithfield and Kuranda, which is locally known as the Kuranda Range Road. In September 2001, Cabinet endorsed the preferred, long-term option for the Kuranda Range corridor to be progressively upgraded to four-lane capacity over a 10 to 15 year period using a road surface route. Since that time, the Department of Main Roads has carried out the extensive planning required for this option. Regarding the petition's call for the upgrade to be "fast tracked as a matter of urgency", the state government is already progressing the upgrade as quickly as possible, due to legislative obligations. The project has triggered federal environmental legislation - the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1998 (EPBC) - and also requires approvals under the Wet Tropics Management Plan. The Department of Main Roads has developed a preliminary design for the upgraded road which minimises environmental and visual impacts, as much as possible, and in many cases provides substantial benefits. In September 2004, Main Roads submitted the project to the federal Department of Environment and Heritage (DEH) and Wet Tropics Management Authority (WTMA) for environmental approvals.

TRARR is a simulation tool to assess operation level-of-service (LOS) of two-lane highways. The analysis examined Kennedy Highway in its current configuration and at various future demand scenarios. The analysis showed that Kennedy Highway is operating at LOS D under current demands and will potentially reach LOS E by 2040, or by 2032 if traffic is higher than the historical median trend. The approximate AADT per direction at which this occurs is at 7,000 vehicles, currently the approximate AADT per direction is 4,440.

    32 of 183 5.2. SUPPORT FOR THE PORT DOUGLAS GRAND FONDO FESTIVAL REPORT AUTHOR Amy Mail, Tourism and Economic Development Officer MANAGER Terry Farrelly, Manager People and Community Services DEPARTMENT People and Community Services RECOMMENDATION The Council resolves to: 1. Provide a letter of support to Connect Sport Australia to accompany their funding application for the Port Douglas Grand Fondo Festival to regional and state tourism bodies. 2. Delegates authority under section 257 of the Local Government Act 2009 to the Chief Executive Officer to finalise any minor amendments in relation to the letter of support for the Port Douglas Grand Fondo Festival. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Connect Sport Australia is a Far North Queensland-based company that runs cycling tours in Australia and Japan. They’re also the leading charity cycling event company in Australia, managing charity cycling tours for various charities since 2011. Connect Sport Australia are proposing a landmark event for the Douglas Shire entitled the Port Douglas Grand Fondo Festival, with proposed dates of the inaugural event to be 10 – 12 September 2021. These dates will capitalise on a seasonal lull that traditionally occurs in the first two weeks of September before school holidays. Their vision is to create an iconic, annual event that will become synonymous with Port Douglas, helping to establish the Douglas Shire as the ultimate Australian destination for people looking to combine event participation with an adventure holiday. The festival format of the Port Douglas Grand Fondo encourages multiple entries into events throughout the weekend and encompasses a viewing experience at all events for spectators and locals.

    494 JAMES VENTURE MULLIGAN Prospector and Explorer of the North

    494 JAMES VENTURE MULLIGAN Prospector and Explorer of the North [By GLENVILLE PIKE] (Written for the Monthly General Meeting of the His­ torical Society of Queensland, Inc., on 26th April 1951). James Venture Mulligan is a man whose deeds are not known to many. Yet he was probably North Queensland's greatest explorer and prospector—a man who did more than anyone else to open up the vast mineral areas of Cape York Peninsula and the hinter­ land of Cairns. In this paper I propose to tell you, as briefly as I can, about Mulligan's work—briefly because the full story would fiU a book if sufficient time was spent in sorting out the many records and old newspaper re­ ports that survive—relics of the days when Mulligan's discoveries were big news. Mulligan made six expeditions between 1873 and 1876 and on only one of them did he receive financial help from the Government. His arduous journeys were made at his own expense, spurred on only by his urge of discovering something of value to the community, and to open up the then wild Northern lands of which this brave man was so much a part. He was a bom leader of men. In a wider field he could have become Australia's greatest explorer. This year is the seventy-fifth anniversary of Mul­ ligan's discovery of payable gold on the Hodgkinson; the founding of Cairns followed within six months. This October, the anniversary is being celebrated in Cairns in conjunction with the Jubilee of Federation, but few will pause to remember Mulligan as the man who blazed the way for the pioneers of Cairns to foUow.

    PROGRESS REPORT - 23 JULY, 2020 Funding of Priorities Identified and Advocated Through the Inland Queensland Roads Action Project (IQ-RAP)

    PROGRESS REPORT - 23 JULY, 2020 Funding of Priorities Identified and Advocated through the Inland Queensland Roads Action Project (IQ-RAP) Page 1 INTRODUCTION TO THE INLAND QUEENSLAND ROADS ACTION PROJECT (IQ-RAP) The IQ-RAP was developed through consultation and engagement with local governments and industry peak bodies. Regional Roads Forums were convened in December 2013 in Longreach and in August 2014 in Mount Isa with participants coming from across inland Queensland. Regional Development Australia Townsville and North West Queensland (RDA) was requested and agreed to be the Secretariat and raised funds from partners in 2015. Funding support was forthcoming from 33 local governments that covered 82% of Queensland’s area, RACQ and 5 Regional Development Australia Committees. A Project Steering Committee was formed and consultants the Harrison Infrastructure Group (HIG) were engaged. In February, 2016 the Inland Queensland Roads Action Plan was launched. This was followed by extensive advocacy to the Australian and Queensland Governments and peak industry bodies through to mid-2018. In mid-2017 IQ-RAP partners agreed to extend the project and update the Plan into a new Inland Queensland Road Network Strategy, taking into account the funding commitments that had been made to priorities identified in 2016, carrying over the priorities that still required funding and updating the Multi- Criteria Analysis with new information. 28 local governments, 5 Regional Development Australia Committees and RACQ provided on-going funding support. Further extensive advocacy was undertaken. This document summarises the funding that has been secured for priorities identified and advocated through the Inland Queensland Roads Action Project (IQ-RAP) and the two major reports that were prepared by Harrison Infrastructure Group (HIG) and Regional Development Australia Townsville and North West Queensland (RDA).
