  • 3.14 Gordonvale – Goldsborough District 3.14.1 Description and Intent
    CairnsPlan – March 2009 3.14 Gordonvale – Goldsborough District 3.14.1 Description and Intent The Gordonvale – Goldsborough District is characterised by the natural features of the Mulgrave River, the Pyramid and the adjacent ranges, as well as by cane fields, the sugar mill and the commercial centre surrounding Norman Park in the centre of Gordonvale. Gordonvale be retained as a distinct community and the recognisable character and local heritage is maintained and enhanced. It is intended that the rural areas within the District should remain and that there should be a range of opportunities for residential living in the areas identified for urban development. There are opportunities for rural residential living in the Goldsborough Valley and in the area on the western side of the Gillies Highway closer to Gordonvale. A Local Store to service the residential population is appropriate for Goldsborough. Such a store should be located on Goldsborough Road, away from the recreational area along the river. This is consistent with the established planning intent. It is not intended that there should be any expansion of the areas identified for this purpose. It is intended that the areas identified for conventional residential living in the northern part of the District should be developed and consolidated. There are opportunities for medium density residential living in areas adjacent to the commercial centre, consistent with the established planning intent. Medium density residential development should complement the character of this part of Gordonvale. There is the opportunity for development of tourist accommodation, such as a caravan park, in an area adjacent to the intersection of the Bruce Highway and the Gillies Highway.

  • Opening Address
    Opening address Andrew Laming MP1 1Federal Member for Bowman, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Health Services and Indigenous Health Thanks Leigh for kicking off Plenary One ‘Shaping a Bright Rural Future’—I hope as a warm-up act, Jack Snelling and I do ok. Thanks to this year’s conference convenor Marie Lally, to your Conference Advisory committee and the Organising group. And of course the Tutti Choir for your inspiring intro. Distinguished guests, Jack, South Australian Senator David Fawcett, to Australian professional Colleges, most notably ACRRM, NACCHO and AIDA and RACGP, to AGPN, ANF, Allied Health networks, the RFDS; the physios, the psychs and the physios, the Chiros, Pharmacists the Optoms, the Ambos and paramedics, the Rural nurses, Doctors, Dentists, students and health researchers, to the Australian Health and Hospital Association, CRANAPlus, the CWA, Catholic Health Australia, ICPA, the health consumer groups, Rural HWorkforce, and RH Education Foundation, to the health consulting firms, private sector providers. What a perfect weekend in Australia’s most understated capital city, we are celebrating the work of rural, remote and Aboriginal health professionals. For many of you, rural health’s watershed moment was 1991. Many here today recall the Toowoomba Conference when ‘modern’ rural health was born. You’d agree it provided the foundation for what has been two-decades of uninterrupted advance in the status of (and investment in) rural, remote and Aboriginal health. Much of that momentum creation can be traced back to the AHMAC Rural Health Taskforce AND the Rural Health Support E&T program. Given this is a two yearly event this 11th meeting is as close as it gets to a 21st birthday for rural health.
