    Item: Scenic Rim Draft LG Report Date: Last updated 11 November 2014 2014 Update of the SEQ NRM Plan: Scenic Rim How can the SEQ NRM Plan support the Community’s Vision for the future of Scenic Rim? Supporting Document no. 7 for the 2014 Update of the SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan. Note regards State Government Planning Policy: The Queensland Government is currently undertaking a review of the SEQ Regional Plan 2009. Whilst this review has yet to be finalised, the government has made it clear that the “new generation” statutory regional plans focus on the particular State Planning Policy issues that require a regionally-specific policy direction for each region. This quite focused approach to statutory regional plans compares to the broader content in previous (and the current) SEQ Regional Plan. The SEQ Natural Resource Management Plan has therefore been prepared to be consistent with the State Planning Policy.

Some logs were hauled into Ipswich by bullock dray. Others were taken to a central place on the riverbank and formed into rafts by driving spikes into each log and linking the spikes with a chain. Some rafts were floated down the Brisbane River to Brisbane; others were taken as far as the Junction and then back up the Bremer River to sawmills in Ipswich. As the timber was cut out and land was made available for settlement, farming commenced. The early settlers grew lucerne, maize and cotton and started orchards. Later, dairying became important. A small butter factory was established by Patrick Sherlock. He exported some of his butter to London in 1905. A school and several churches were established. St Michael’s Catholic Church Sherlock Property Pine Mountain, PI The land was donated by John Barnes and the first simple chapel was erected in 1865.
