  • Social Infrastructure Strategic Plan
    Nnpcr ^u.:^ Uric: ^2^ ` to - l-0 Member : Mvs Cam. tiwU11.5" Tabled Tabled, by leave Incorporated, Remainder incorporated, by leave by leave Clerk at the Table: Z Social Infrastructure Strategic Plan Queensland Government GLADSTONE REGIONAL COUNCIL Contents Foreword As Mayor of Gladstone Regional Council, I am proud to be a partner in the development of the Social Infrastructure Strategic Plan for the Gladstone region. The results of this extensive research and planning work have already delivered value to Council in terms of guiding current community planning activities. Adequate planning for social infrastructure and services is fundamental to managing growth. The development of the Gladstone Region Social Infrastructure - Voluntary Industry Contributions Framework will enable companies to channel funds to the areas of need as determined by a thorough analysis of the existing social infrastructure capital base, the impacts of future growth on community facilities and services as well as feedback through community engagement. I fully support the Queensland Government's proposal to establish the Gladstone Foundation as a regionally based pooled industry fund - it is essential to the successful implementation of the Social Infrastructure Strategic Plan. I urge major companies to get behind the proposed Gladstone Foundation and help to implement these important investment priorities in social infrastructure across the region. The Gladstone Region Social Infrastructure - Voluntary Industry Contributions Framework will ensure a strong and strategic structure is in place to guide industry investment in social infrastructure. The preparation of this Framework is essentially the beginning of a process - it is a "living" document and one which requires continuous update and review to ensure industry funds are directed to areas which deliver maximum benefits to the community.

Information regarding the supply and take-up of commercial accommodation by non-resident workers is also summarised.

  • Extreme Weather Event Contingency Plan Gladstone Region – 2020/2021
    Extreme Weather Event Contingency Plan Gladstone Region – 2020/2021 incorporating Mary River, Hervey Bay, Tin Can Bay, Bundaberg, Gladstone, Port Alma, Fitzroy River and Rosslyn Bay Introduction Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) is an agency of the Dept. of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) which works closely and cooperatively with the disaster management agencies, the industry and community on both a State wide and local basis. The recent extreme weather events throughout Queensland have highlighted the need for awareness and vigilance to the risks such events present to the maritime community. MSQ’s core focus is on the preservation of life and property on the State’s waters and in the prevention/response to ship-based pollution. Aligning itself with the MSQ mantra of 'safer and cleaner seas'. The extreme weather events of recent seasons have highlighted the need for awareness and vigilance to the risks such events present to maritime operations. MSQ has built on these recent experiences and is reissuing its contingency plans as one way of ensuring stronger resilience within the maritime community. Timely awareness and adequate preparation will reduce the impact of such events. This extreme weather event contingency plan for Gladstone Region sets out the broad framework that will apply for this region. MSQ takes advice on developing weather situations from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) which is the government’s primary source of weather intelligence. The Gladstone Region encompasses the area of the coast and waterways from St Lawrence in the North to Double Island Point in the South. The Region includes the Ports of Gladstone, Port Alma and Bundaberg, all boat harbours and marinas and includes all navigable rivers, creeks and streams as well as off shore islands within Queensland jurisdiction.

I understand the proposal and offer my support for this development application for the following reasons: Insert your points here I have been looking for something like this in the region but there is nothing available, I am selling up on the sunshine coast to move back to the Gladstone area to be closer to my daughter & her family after the untimely death of my husband earlier this year. A resort style retirement facility like this would suit me & the family could have peace of mind that I am in a safe environment. It would also keep many older & retiring people in the region where at the moment most of the Gladstone older folk live mostly in the Bundaberg area, retaining this part of the population has to be good for the townships as they have more disposable income to spend, that would be of enormous benefit for the whole area & would keep a more balanced population. This facility would provide employment across the board ie., shops, eateries, coffee shops etc etc. Thank you for including my support in your considerations and I trust you will agree that this development is desperately needed and ideally located within the Gladstone Region.
