  • Fact Sheet How Dams Work
    Fact sheet How dams work December 2015 In South East Queensland, our drinking water is predominantly Flood mitigation sourced from dams, which collect run-off rainwater from our catchments and store it. Our dams provide a safe, secure and At its most basic level, flood mitigation is capturing water and cost-effective water supply, as well as help to mitigate floods. then releasing it at a slower rate, with the aim of minimising river levels downstream of the dam. When dams fill, they are designed to pass the excess water into the creek or river system they are built on. What is Full Supply Level? Dam release notification service The Full Supply Level of a dam is the approved water storage level of the dam for drinking and/or irrigation purposes. Seqwater offers a free dam release notification service, which provides subscribers with notifications when gated dams For un-gated dams, if inflows result in the water level rising release water or un-gated dams are spilling. above the Full Supply Level, the water will spill out of the dam. This spilling cannot be controlled. Subscribers to Seqwater’s dam release notification service will also be notified when higher outflows are occurring from For our gated dams (Wivenhoe, Somerset and North Pine), if a spilling dam due to high inflows resulting from rainfall in the inflows result in the water level rising above the Full Supply catchment. Level, Seqwater will make controlled releases for either flood mitigation or to protect the safety of the dam. These notifications advise caution downstream due to potential hazards to people and property.

  • Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 by Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane
    ARCHIVE: Known Impacts of Tropical Cyclones, East Coast, 1858 – 2008 By Mr Jeff Callaghan Retired Senior Severe Weather Forecaster, Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane The date of the cyclone refers to the day of landfall or the day of the major impact if it is not a cyclone making landfall from the Coral Sea. The first number after the date is the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) for that month followed by the three month running mean of the SOI centred on that month. This is followed by information on the equatorial eastern Pacific sea surface temperatures where: W means a warm episode i.e. sea surface temperature (SST) was above normal; C means a cool episode and Av means average SST Date Impact January 1858 From the Sydney Morning Herald 26/2/1866: an article featuring a cruise inside the Barrier Reef describes an expedition’s stay at Green Island near Cairns. “The wind throughout our stay was principally from the south-east, but in January we had two or three hard blows from the N to NW with rain; one gale uprooted some of the trees and wrung the heads off others. The sea also rose one night very high, nearly covering the island, leaving but a small spot of about twenty feet square free of water.” Middle to late Feb A tropical cyclone (TC) brought damaging winds and seas to region between Rockhampton and 1863 Hervey Bay. Houses unroofed in several centres with many trees blown down. Ketch driven onto rocks near Rockhampton. Severe erosion along shores of Hervey Bay with 10 metres lost to sea along a 32 km stretch of the coast.

Agric (Deventer) Queensland Department of Primary Industries October 1973. The material in this publication is intended for government and institutional use only, and is not to be used in any court of law. 11 FOREWORD A detailed knowledge and understanding of the environment and the pressures its many facets may exert are fundamental to those who work to improve agriculture, or to conserve or develop the rural environment. A vast amount of information is accumulating concerning the physical resources and the farming and social systems as they exist in the state of Queensland. This information is coming from a number of sources and references and is scattered through numerous publications and unpublished reports. Shire Handbooks, the first of which was published in February 1969, are an attempt to collate under one cover relevant information and references which will be helpful to the extension officer, the research and survey officer or those who are interested in industry or regional planning or in reconstruction. A copy of each shire handbook is held for reference in each Division and in each Branch of the Department of Primary Industries in Brisbane. In addition Agriculture Branch holds at its Head Office and in each of its country centres, Shire Handbooks, Regional Technical Handbooks (notes on technical matters relevant to certain agricultural industries in the Shire) and monthly and annual reports which are a continuing record of the progress and problems in agriculture.

This Melanotaeniidae family of fish is only found in Australia and New Guinea. It’s a small, mainly insectivorous species, the largest individuals reaching a maximum length of approximately 80mm (Warburton and Chapman, 2007). The Rhadinocentrus ornatus (R. ornatus) is said to be a small, obligate freshwater fish species restricted to the coastal wallum habitat of eastern Australia (Hancox et al, 2010), where waters are slow flowing and acidic, and submerged and emergent vegetation is plentiful (Warburton and Chapman, 2007). However, Wildlife Queensland has found this species utilising other habitat types, such as gallery rainforest along Tingalpa Creek West Mt Cotton, a finding supported by BCC (2010). Good populations of R.ornatus were particularly found in clear slow – medium flowing streams supporting no aquatic or emergent vegetation located within gallery rainforest. The species was particularly common in 12.3.1 Gallery rainforest (notophyll vine forest) on alluvial plains (Endangered) within a landscape comprised of 12.11.5 Open forest complex with Corymbia citriodora, Eucalyptus siderophloia, E. major on metamorphics ± interbedded volcanics
