  • Brewarrina Shire
    Brewarrina Shire DRAFT LOCAL STRATEGIC PLANNING STATEMENT 17 February 2020 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF COUNTRY The Brewarrina Shire Council acknowledges and pays its respect to the Traditional Owners and their Nations of the Brewarrina Local Government Area including the Ngemba, Morawari, Barkinji, Kamilaroi, Koamu, Valari, Baranbinja, Wairadjuri, Yualwarri People. The contributions of earlier generations, including the Elders, who have fought for their rights in managing the land, is valued and respected. Brewarrina Shire Council acknowledges that the Traditional Owners and their Nations of the Brewarrina Shire have a deep cultural, social, environmental, spiritual and economic connection to their land. Brewarrina Shire Council understands the need for recognition of Traditional Owner knowledge and cultural values in the development of the Brewarrina Local Strategic Planning Statement and supports the belief that by working together we can provide beneficial outcomes for Traditional Owners and all people of the Brewarrina Shire. 1 FOREWARD A vision for our Shire in the future is reflecting a clear set of aspirations formed through the community feedback. WHAT DOES THIS STRATEGY DO? This Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) sets the framework for the economic, social and environmental land use needs over the next 20 years. The LSPS has also taken account of land use planning in adjacent Councils. It also works with Council’s Community Strategic Plan (CSP) and Local Environmental Plan (LEP). The LSPS gives effect to the Far West Regional Plan, implementing the directions and actions at a local level. The LSPS planning priorities, directions and actions provide the rationale for decisions about how we will use our land to achieve the community’s broader goals.

Welcome to Yirrganydji (and Djabugay) Country. We hope that you enjoy your stay. Please keep our environment clean and healthy and we wish you a safe journey on our traditional country. We also wish to acknowledge the elders and families of the Yirrganydji, Djabuganydji, Buluwai, Nyagali, and Guluy Peoples. The bountiful tropical waters surrounding Cairns sustained the Indigenous Peoples who first came to this naturally blessed region many years ago. The magical combination of ancient rainforest, protected mangrove systems and monsoonal rain that fed the inland rivers of the Gulf Savannah provided pristine breeding grounds and protection for many native species including barramundi, bream, jewfish, grunter, catfish, cod, eels, turtles, prawns, crayfish, oysters and periwinkles. Today these waters sustain a vibrant tourism industry that welcomes visitors from all over the world to experience the natural beauty of this iconic destination. The Great Barrier Reef continues to provide fishing experiences of a life time and thanks to the introduction of an extensive inshore Net Free Zone in 2015 the fish here are growing in numbers and size. It’s amped up fishing on another scale!

  • Newsletter June 19
    MOUNT ISA NEWS JUNE 2019 Your community newsletter Phone 07 4747 3200 | email [email protected] | www.mountisa.qld.gov.au | www.facebook.com/MountIsaCityCouncil/ MAYOR’S DESK... Can you believe that we're almost exactly halfway through the year already? June has flown by and there has been so much happening throughout Council and Mount Isa this month. Firstly, I'd like to extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to those in the community who go above and beyond to volunteer their time to community events. As anyone involved in event planning will know, it is an incredible amount of hard work and dedication over a long period of time, and it is also a very selfless, and thankless job. But without these people in our community, our social fabric begins to unravel, and there are fewer opportunities for us all to engage in social, cultural and sporting occasions. The end of May and the beginning of June saw MineX 2019 converge at Buchanan Park. Events such as these are vital for the ongoing growth, development and improvement of the mining industry - and, by extension, our community. This year saw more than 90 exhibitors, covering everything from mining products and services to major mining and engineering companies, including Glencore and Sandvik, which reinforced the confidence that businesses and industries still have in the mining sector in our region. I congratulate Commerce North West President Travis Crowther and his capable team for coordinating another successful event. In June we also saw the incredible 2019 Mount Isa Eisteddfod at the Mount Isa Civic Centre, which is the region's biggest and most diverse youth performing arts challenge, running over 10 days.

  • Features Get on Your Bike Former Te Anau Couple Andrew and Gaby Welsh Have Swapped the 9Am to 5Pm Life to Take on the World
    Features Get on your bike Former Te Anau couple Andrew and Gaby Welsh have swapped the 9am to 5pm life to take on the world. Here’s their first instalment in a series of articles to document their trip, written by Andrew. he idea of cycling The Banjo Paterson Route, from Molong to Dubbo, passing through T Wambangalang seemed about as Australian as we were going to find. We were still recovering after a hard couple of days cycling up and over The Great Dividing Range; bitterly cold temperatures including torrential rain and hail had dampened our initial enthusiasm for Australia. After all is this not the country of never ending bushfires, drought and dangerous animals? We needed a couple of days with the sun on our backs and views of those iconic vistas that shout ‘‘Australia’’, to reinvigorate our excitement and plans we had for cycling around Australia. Our cycling journey through New Zealand was always just the entree, the warmup for what will be several years on our bicycles traversing the world, Australia is the challenge that will test our fitness and stamina for taking on even greater challenges like India, China and Central Asia. We decided to start the Australian leg of our journey at Lithgow (just over the Blue Mountains from Sydney) and we are cycling The Great Inland Way from Lithgow to Cairns; a journey of about 2600km, that will take us through the Outback, Queensland Central Highlands and onto Cairns and The Great Barrier Reef. But first we needed to reach Dubbo; the last major town before heading up the Castlereagh Highway and into the New South Wales Outback Region.

  • Unleashing Our Tourism Potential
    PARLIAMENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA Northern Horizons – Unleashing Our Tourism Potential Report on the Inquiry into Opportunities and Methods for Stimulating the Tourism Industry in Northern Australia Joint Standing Committee on Northern Australia June 2018 CANBERRA © Commonwealth of Australia ISBN 978-1-74366-661-6 (Printed Version) ISBN 978-1-74366-662-3 (HTML Version) This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Australia License. The details of this licence are available on the Creative Commons website: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/au/. Chair's Foreword Northern Australia is home to many iconic locations that attract millions of tourists from across Australia and the world. Uluru in the Northern Territory, the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, and Broome with its unique pearls in Western Australia are all world-renowned tourism destinations, but only scratch the surface of what Northern Australia’s tourism industry has to offer. In 2014 the Committee’s predecessor, the Joint Select Committee on Northern Australia1, released its report Pivot North: Inquiry into the Development of Northern Australia (Pivot North). Pivot North presented an overarching examination of challenges to, and opportunities for, economic growth and development in Northern Australia. In 2016, the predecessor Committee inquired into opportunities to expand the aquaculture industry. This Committee has now turned its focus to examining ways to stimulate the tourism industry in Northern Australia. The tourism industry presents a major opportunity to support the long term economic and social development of the north and thereby contribute to the sustainability of a large number of remote and regional communities.
