Published by Aged & Community Services Australia | 14 March 2018 | Page 1 of 7 GRANTS AND QLD GOVT SUPPORT NOW AVAILABLE TO PEOPLE IMPACTED BY NQ FLOODING Financial assistance and support services are now available to residents directly affected by flooding in parts of North Queensland over recent days. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the North Queensland flooding event had caused inundation to properties and businesses, particularly across the Hinchinbrook region. “Queensland Government Ready Reserve staff have been deployed to Townsville to lead community recovery efforts, with more expected to be deployed over the coming days,” Ms Palaszczuk said. “Once the floodwaters recede in the worst-hit areas and it is safe to do so, we will send in our dedicated recovery workers to help affected individuals and families access financial assistance and support services that they will need to assist with their recovery. Minister for Communities Coralee O’Rourke said people can download the Self Recovery app for information or to apply for grants, including Emergency Hardship Grants. “Queenslanders affected by the flooding can easily apply for grants through the Self Recovery app or make an application through the Community Recovery online portal at www.communityrecovery.qld.gov.au,” Mrs O’Rourke said. “Residents without internet access can ring the Community Recovery Hotline on 1800 173 349 to get information or apply for grants and access to support services over the phone. “The Self Recovery app, online portal and the hotline are vital in times of disasters to provide access to the latest information, grant applications and referrals for community organisations and other government agencies.” The suburbs and towns activated are: Ingham Taylors Beach Upper Stone Lucinda Forrest Beach Mount Fox Halifax Blackrock Wallaman Bemerside Orient Lannercost Macknade Coolbie Hawkins Creek Gairloch Bambaroo Long Pocket Cordelia Yuruga Dalrymple Creek Foresthome Helens Hill Abergowrie Trebonne Toobanna Garrawalt Victoria Plantation Peacock Siding Braemeadows Wharps Mrs O’Rourke said face-to-face support would be available in the affected areas as soon as possible once roads opened and floodwaters subsided. Published by Aged & Community Services Australia | 14 March 2018 | Page 2 of 7 “We know that many people affected by this flooding event will need Emergency Hardship Grants to help meet their immediate needs,” she said. “Eligible applicants can receive $180 per person, up to $900 for a family of five or more, to replace essential items like food, clothing and medications or to help cover the costs of alternative accommodation if they can’t live at home.” Other grants such the Essential Household Contents Grant, Structural Assistance Grant and Essential Services Safety and Reconnection Grant are also available to eligible residents who are uninsured and have experienced certain loss or damage following this disaster. Financial assistance is available through the jointly-funded Commonwealth-State Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA). People who are experiencing hardship due to this flooding should contact the Community Recovery Hotline of 1800 173 349 or go to www.qld.gov.au/community/disasters-emergencies for further information. ARE YOU READY FOR THE ATO’S SWITCH TO SINGLE TOUCH PAYROLL (STP)? A change in the payroll reporting standards for the Australian Taxation Office means that employers need to switch to a single-touch payroll (STP) enabled system that automatically sends payroll information to the ATO. This switch needs to be made by 1 July 2018 for substantial (20 or more employees at 1 April 2018) and by 1 July 2019 for smaller employers. Getting your business ready for the STP switch and checking whether your payroll system is STP compliant is easy.

Published by Aged & Community Services Australia | 14 March 2018 | Page 3 of 7 MEMBER NEWS: KNOWLEDGE RISES ON FALLS PREVENTION A promising trial of a strength and balance exercise program in aged care has resulted in a 55 per cent reduction in the rate of falls among residents. The SUNBEAM trial (Strength and Balance Exercise in Aged Care) consisted of individually prescribed progressive resistance training plus balance exercises performed in a group setting for 50 hours over a 25- week period, followed by a six-month maintenance program. It involved 221 aged care residents from 16 facilities in New South Wales and Queensland, half of whom participated in SUNBEAM, with the other half following their normal care regime. The results, which were published recently in the Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, show a significant drop in the rate of falls among participants, said lead investigator Jennie Hewitt. Ms Hewitt, positive living co-ordinator at Feros Care, a physiotherapist and PhD candidate at the University of Sydney, has spent the past six years developing an evidence base for the prevention and management of physical injuries among aged care residents. The 55 per cent reduction in falls rate among the SUNBEAM participants was “bigger than in any other study to date,” Ms Hewitt told Australian Ageing Agenda. For the full article, click here.

    Garside AL et al. Proc Aust Soc Sugar Cane Technol Vol 36 2014 ______________________________________________________________________________________ REVIEW OF PRODUCTIVITY TRENDS IN THE HERBERT SUGARCANE GROWING REGION By AL GARSIDE1, LP DI BELLA2, M SEFTON2, AW WOOD3 1Tropical Crop Science Unit, School of Marine and Tropical Biology, James Cook University, Townsville and Agritrop Consulting, 2Herbert Cane Productivity Services Limited, Ingham, 3Tanglewood Agricultural Services, Milla Milla. [email protected] KEYWORDS: Seasonal Conditions, Water Management, Varieties, Rainfall, Harvesting. Abstract CONCERNS ABOUT decreasing productivity in recent years in the Herbert cane growing region prompted the Herbert Cane Productivity Services Limited (HCPSL) to commission a review of the production system in an attempt to identify issues that have likely influenced productivity. The review encompassed the collation and analysis of productivity data held by HCPSL, interpretation of the analyses and interviews with growers. In general the outcomes indicated that water management (seasonal conditions, drainage, waterlogging), various aspects of harvesting (groups too big, harvesting too fast, not enough adjustment for seasonal conditions/geographic harvesting, cane loss and season length (the harvest season being too long) were the main factors influencing productivity in the Herbert. The review showed that productivity was strongly linked to seasonal conditions with high rainfall in November, in particular, having an adverse effect on crop productivity the next year. This is likely due, at least in part, to radiation limitation, waterlogging, and nutrient loss under the wet conditions. However, the combination of high rainfall in November and harvesting with heavy machinery under wet conditions is also likely to be having a significant adverse effect on productivity the next season, through either direct effects on the ratoons and/or limiting the opportunity for field maintenance between cycles.

The information presented below is based on the amount and type of tax-deductible donations made by Australian taxpayers to DGRs for the period 1 July 2005 to 30 June 2006 extracted from the Australian Taxation Office's publication Taxation Statistics 2005-2006.1 The figures presented below only represent those amounts donated and claimed as a tax deduction by individual Australian taxpayers in their individual income tax returns. It does not include giving by corporate and trust taxpayers, “non-tax contributions” such as raffles, sponsorships, fundraising purchases (e.g., sweets, tea towels, special events) or volunteering. The Giving Australia Report estimated the 2005 year total giving using a more liberal definition of gift at $11 billion (excluding Tsunami $300m).2 This was comprised of $5.7 billion from adult Australians, $2 billion from charity gambling or special events and $3.3 billion from business sources. The following is a summary of the significant findings of our research. 1. How much was claimed as gift deductions? The total amount donated and claimed as tax-deductible donations in 2005-06 was $1.55 billion (compared to $1.47 billion for the previous income year).

    ROAD SAFETY IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2021-2023 ‘Road Safety Partners Working Together’ HINCHINBROOK ROAD SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE Road Safety Implementation Plan 2021-2023 A Message from our Mayor I am proud to present the Hinchinbrook Shire Road Safety Implementation Plan 2021-2023. Road trauma has a devastating and long lasting impact on individuals, families and communities. Hinchinbrook Shire Council recognises that road safety is a major factor in the health and wellbeing of our community and is in an excellent position to build on its previous 2016-2018 Road Safety Implementation Plan. Our Plan will link to the National and Queensland Road Safety Strategy documents for 2011-2020, and to the North Queensland Road Safety Action Plan to achieve positive road safety outcomes for the Hinchinbrook Shire community. The Implementation Plan documents the major causes of road trauma in the Hinchinbrook Shire area and priority road safety actions for Council for the calendar years 2021-2023. Each action identifies the key goal, desired outcome and the timeframe for delivery, our partners and the responsible agency. It has been recognised that even with the best preventative measures in place, road related crashes will still occur. Unfortunately, it is an inevitable consequence of mobility. However, it is a goal of Council over the next 10 years to reduce the annual numbers of both deaths and serious injuries on our roads by at least 30%. These targets will be challenging however it is believed through implementing a safe systems approach to road safety we can achieve our goals. Road safety is a shared responsibility in which everyone has an important role to play.

    CORPORATE PLAN 2021-2025 CORPORATE PLAN 2021 - 2025 CONTENTS ABOUT THE CORPORATE PLAN 3 ABOUT OUR REGION 4 OUR VISION, MISSION AND VALUES 6 PRIORITIES 7 OUR CORPORATE DIRECTION 9 STRATEGIC OUTCOMES 17 ABOUT THE CORPORATE PLAN PURPOSE The Hinchinbrook Shire Corporate Plan 2021-2025 is a set of strategic aspirations and goals based on community priorities, guiding the Council’s strategies, policies, programs and services for the next five years. It is a statutory requirement under Section 165 of the Queensland Local Government Regulation 2012 to formulate a plan every five years. It is also a fundamental principle of effective organisational leadership to develop, implement and review key strategies. The Corporate Plan is Council’s commitment to the community of its intent and direction. While it is primarily focussed on strategies and actions for the community, it also includes themes on organisational governance and management that underpin delivery. This is in recognition of the fact that many of Council’s resources are involved in the day to day operations of Council on which the community relies. The Corporate Plan is not a detailed business or action plan, but rather, it is a road map for the future based on key themes. Each year Council develops an Operational Plan that details the actions Council will take during the year to deliver on its Strategic Themes and Goals. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY Council acknowledges the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land whom include the Warrgamay, Nywaigi and Bandjin people. Council pays its respect to their Elders past, present and emerging. Front Cover Image: Overlooking Lower Herbert, Hinchinbrook.
