    TOWNSVILLE METRO: UNLOCKING URBAN POTENTIAL THROUGH IMPROVING A KEY TRANSIT CORRIDOR Citation: Caldera, S., Desha, C., Reid, S., Yen, B., Shearer, H., Newman, P. and Mouritz, M. (2020) Townsville metro: unlocking potential through improving Townsville’s transit corridor, Report for Project 1.62 Sustainable Centres of Tomorrow: People and Place, Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre, Australia. Townsville Metro: Unlocking Potential through improving Townsville’s Transit Corridor Executive Summary Urban centres around the world are grappling with how to adapt and respond to the interconnected challenges of climate change, economic development and social inclusion. Fundamental to the solution is the ability of citizens to move around cities to access places of employment, education, healthcare and recreation. Design responses for new centres and urban renewal projects require collaboration and co- creation across governance levels and involving partnerships across multiple parties spanning designers and developers through to end-users. In 2016, the federal government launched City Deals as a new partnership mechanism to create productive and liveable cities, with Townsville being the first 15-year commitment involving planning, reform and investment for the city. The Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre (SBEnrc) is working with government and industry partners to enquire into procurement strategies and technologies that enable urban renewal in Australian cities. Through Project 1.62 – Sustainable Centres of Tomorrow, a place-making evaluation framework has been developed to inform project-specific business cases as they may arise through a City Deal or other ventures. Using the framework, trackless tram technology is being evaluated in several case study sites around Australia (Melbourne, Sydney, Perth), as an emergent transport catalyst to ‘unlock the urban potential’ between and around urban ‘nodes’ (i.e.

  • The Way Forward at the QNI BHP Billiton Materials Handling Facility
    The Way Forward at the QNI BHP Billiton Materials Handling Facility. Townsville, North Queensland, Australia. Steve Carkeet Materials Handling Superintendent The Way Forward at the QNI BHP Billiton Materials Handling Facility. Townsville, North Queensland, Australia. By Steve Carkeet. Abstract. Ore Supply manages the purchase and supply of Nickel Ore as a feedstock to the Yabulu Refinery, near Townsville, Australia. Ore Supply is a unique and dynamic supply chain. Due to weather reliant mining and ship loading and unloading operations, requires specialised vessels. QNI Limited began importing nickel ore through the Port of Townsville in 1986 to supplement declining supplies from its Greenvale mine in North Queensland. Following the closure of the Greenvale mine in 1992 and the Brolga mine in 1995, QNI has relied solely on importing approximately 3.7 million tonnes per year of nickel ore from New Caledonia, Indonesia, and the Philippines to feed its refinery at Yabulu, 32 km north-west of the Port of Townsville. Strict compliance for overseas stockpiling and handling of Nickel Ore is monitored by AQIS. AQIS inspect the ore on arrival at Townsville and during unloading and loading into rail wagons where the ore is railed to Yabulu Refinery. Initially the ore was unloaded by a combination of ship’s cranes and a land based container crane equipped with grabs and dumped directly onto the wharf from where it was loaded by front end loaders into rail wagons and hauled to the Yabulu refinery. This method of unloading was not efficient and involved the double handling of ore. In addition, the stockpiling of ore on the wharf was environmentally unacceptable for two main reasons: • rainfall run-off could carry ore fines into the harbour, and • generation of dust from front end loader operations.

  • West End Cemetery Trails 1
    TRAIL 1 Life, Death & Memorialisation in Early Townsville WEST END CEMETERY TRAILS INTRODUCTION The West End Cemetery is the oldest known historic cemetery in Townsville. The cemetery is an excellent example of a Victorian period cemetery, containing early headstones, plantings and perimeter fencing. The West End Cemetery ‘Life, Death and Memorialisation in Early Townsville’ is a self-guided trail, which endeavours to provide an insight into the lives of some of Townsville’s most famous individuals, shifts in how death was memorialised during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and trends in monumental headstone design. The trail also provides the opportunity to experience the history associated with Townsville’s earliest historic cemetery. CEMETERY TRAILS This is the first in a series of trails that have been produced to enable visitors to the West End Cemetery to undertake self-guided walks. Projects such as this provide the community with a better understanding of the city’s rich history, who the people were and what life was like. The focus of this trail is on the lives of some of Townsville’s most well-known individuals, recognising their important contribution to the development of the city in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Among the individuals recognised on this trail are Thankful Percy Willmett, John Philp and the Captain Henry Daniel Sinclair. It is the endeavour of Townsville City Council to undertake continuous conservation of the cemetery. The work is being undertaken according to the recommendations in the West End Cemetery Conservation Strategy. TOWNSVILLE.QLD.GOV.AU WELCOME TO TOWNSVILLE’S WEST END CEMETERY The West End Cemetery operated as Townsville’s general cemetery between 1866 and 1902.

  • Visitor Responses to Palm Island in the 1920S and 1930S1
    ‘Socialist paradise’ or ‘inhospitable island’? Visitor responses to Palm Island in the 1920s and 1930s1 Toby Martin Tourists visiting Queensland’s Palm Island in the 1920s and 1930s followed a well-beaten path. They were ferried there in a launch, either from a larger passenger ship moored in deeper water, or from Townsville on the mainland. Having made it to the shallows, tourists would be carried ‘pick a back’ by a ‘native’ onto a ‘palm-shaded’ beach. Once on the grassy plains that stood back from the beach, they would be treated to performances such as corroborees, war dances and spear-throwing. They were also shown the efforts of the island’s administration: schools full of happy children, hospitals brimming with bonny babies, brass band performances and neat, tree-fringed streets with European- style gardens. Before being piggy-backed to their launches, the tourist could purchase authentic souvenirs, such as boomerangs and shields. As the ship pulled away from paradise, tourists could gaze back and reflect on this model Aboriginal settlement, its impressive ‘native displays’, its ‘efficient management’ and the ‘noble work’ of its staff and missionaries.2 By the early 1920s, the Palm Island Aboriginal reserve had become a major Queensland tourist destination. It offered tourists – particularly those from the southern states or from overseas – a chance to see Aboriginal people and culture as part of a comfortable day trip. Travellers to and around Australia had taken a keen interest in Aboriginal culture and its artefacts since Captain Cook commented on the ‘rage for curiosities amongst his crew’.3 From the 1880s, missions such as Lake Tyers in Victoria’s Gippsland region had attracted 1 This research was undertaken with the generous support of the State Library of NSW David Scott Mitchell Fellowship, and the ‘Touring the Past: History and Tourism in Australia 1850-2010’ ARC grant, with Richard White.
