  • 5.2. Support for the Port Douglas Grand Fondo Festival Report Author
    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).

  • State Budget Must Deliver Safe, Resilient Roads for Cairns
    EMBARGOED UNTIL 12:01AM WEDNESDAY 9 JUNE 2021 State Budget must deliver safe, resilient roads for Cairns The State’s peak motoring body has urged the Palaszczuk Government to prioritise road safety, flood resiliency, and fast-track local infrastructure projects in next week’s Budget. RACQ Head of Public Policy Susan Furze said given Queensland’s horrific road toll it was vital the Government acted to better protect drivers by accelerating road upgrades and increasing visible police presence. “Sadly, we’re on track for one of the worst years for road deaths with 18 people killed in the Northern police region alone since 1 January,” Ms Furze said. “Our members tell us a visible on road police presence is the most effective way to change driver behaviour and acts as a reminder of the Fatal Five. “Safer roads also lead to fewer crashes and Cairns locals deserve to have good quality roads, that are well policed, to prevent further serious and fatal injuries.” Ms Furze encouraged the Government to fast-track business cases and investment for local major projects, including those with Federal funding allocations. “We need the State Government to deliver its share of the money to improve safety, accessibility and the condition of our regional roads, so Queenslanders don’t have to wait any longer for much-needed transport upgrades,” she said. “In particular, we want to see safety and flood immunity works on the Kennedy Highway, the Cairns Ring Road and Cairns Western Arterial Road projects accelerated, safety upgrades to the Captain Cook Highway and the completion of all five stages of the Cairns Southern Access project.

TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Introduction. ...................................... 5 List of birds. ...................................... 7 Gazetteer ....................................... .. 179 3 INTRODUCTION In 1967 I began to search the literature for information on Queensland birds ­ their distribution, ecological status, relative abundance, habitat preferences, breeding season, movements and taxonomy. In addition much unpublished information was received from Mrs H.B. Gill, Messrs J.R. Ford, S.A. Parker, R.L. Pink, R.K. Carruthers, L. Neilsen, D. Howe, C.A.C. Cameron, Bro. Matthew Heron, Dr D.L. Serventy and the late W.E. Alexander. These data formed the basis of the List of Queensland birds (Stort 1973, Spec. Pubis West. Aust. Mus. No. 5). During the last decade the increase in our knowledge of Queensland birds has been such as to warrant a re-writing of the List. Much of this progress has been due to three things: (1) survey work by J.R. Ford, A. Gieensmith and N.C.H. Reid in central Queensland and southern Cape York Peninsula (Ford et al. 1981, Sunbird 11: 58-70), (2) research into the higher categories ofclassification, especially C.G.
