CQ businesses and households are currently presented with unprecedented opportunities as the Region contributes to the growth of a nation. speed economy hits hard within a regional setting. Strain on the Region’s infrastructure and services is clear as well as increased costs of living and tight competition for funds and projects. During this fast and dynamic period, the CQ community and CQ Local Government Association recognise the need for clear direction and advocacy for the Region. FUTURE FOUNDATIONS: The nature of development and investment within CQ over the next decade will contribute to the community’s foundations for many years to come. This is relevant to both the planning of hard and soft infrastructure as well as the implementation of community vision for the future of the Region. These foundations are key to the Region’s future, liveability, environment, employment of services and infrastructure. These and clearly represented within relevant frameworks. This is what will enure the long- term viability of CQ communities beyond any ‘boom’ or ‘one factory town’ mentality.

    73 GOLD OCCURRENCES IN CENTRAL QUEENSLAND Extract from the Queensland Mining Guide No attempt is made in this portion of the Mining Guide to deal with the past history of the various mining fields or to describe the many mines being worked in the State. The object rather is to show - both to the individual prospector and to the mining investor - some of the mining possibilities of each of the districts mentioned, passing reference being made to particular mines in certain cases only. Slight reference only has been made to geological features. The relative importance of deposits and districts mentioned cannot be gauged by the lengths of the references in these notes. On many of the old fields the conditions are well known, or can be ascertained at the main centres. Special attention has been drawn to some of the lesser known fields. Any person or company desirous of obtaining further details in relation to any of the nines, deposits, or localities referred to should communicate with the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Brisbane, or with the nearest Warden, Inspector of Mines, or District Geologist. General area covered by this report The Reworking of Deposits The fact that certain ore-bodies were worked years ago and were abandoned does not necessarily imply that such deposits cannot be worked profitably under different conditions. The metal market is always a primary factor in deciding the success or 1:250 000 scale maps failure of mining ventures. The utilization of First edition 1968/75 modern methods of mining and treatment may bring renewed life to some mines.

    4.0 Overview of the Regional Surface and Subsurface Geology of the Duaringa Basin

    Duaringa Basin Report on Hydrological Investigations 4.0 Overview of the Regional Surface and Subsurface Geology of the Duaringa Basin 4.1 Introduction The surface geology of the Duaringa Basin project site and surrounding environment is characterised by the surface exposures of the Tertiary age Duaringa Formation sediments and surrounding exposures of the Permian age sediments (Figure 4.1). The Duaringa Formation is composed of interbedded mudstones, shale, oil shale siltstone and lignite beds and rare sandstone, conglomerate and basalt beds (Day et al., 1983). The Permian age sediments are part of the Bowen Basin stratigraphic sequence. The overlying Tertiary age Duaringa Formation does not form part of the formal Bowen Basin stratigraphic sequence. The surface exposures of the Duaringa Formation can be differentiated into recent exposures and older lateritic tablelands. There are also some small outcrops of Tertiary age volcanics exposed through the Tertiary age and Permian age sediments present in and near the Duaringa Basin. The significant rivers, such as the Mackenzie River and Dawson River, which traverse the Duaringa Basin, have deposited large volumes of alluvial sediment in broad braided plains on both the Duaringa Formation and Permian age sediments. The Duaringa Basin along with the Biloela Basin and Hillsborough Basin formed during the opening of the Coral Sea during the Eocene between 52 and 34 million years ago (SRK, 2008). These basins are bounded by NE to SW trending bounding faults along their western margins. Movement along these faults is largely sinistal (left lateral). However, there has been significant downward movement on the eastern side of the fault blocks, which has opened deep asymmetrical grabens (Veevers and Powell, 1994).

  • Central Queensland El Niño – Southern Oscillation Other Climate Drivers

    Central Queensland El Niño – Southern Oscillation Other Climate Drivers

    Northern Australia Climate Program CLIMATE SAVVY FOR GRAZING MANAGEMENT Central Queensland El Niño – Southern Oscillation Other Climate Drivers What: ENSO has two active phases, El Niño and La Niña, and an inactive or neutral phase. When: Any time between June (start) to April (end). Main impacts of ENSO are usually from December to March. Events Madden-Julian Oscillation can span multiple years, which is more common with La Niña events. Where: Entire region, but increased impacts more likely near coast. What: A large band of clouds that influence alternating wet/dry conditions during the wet/summer season. The MJO can increase the availability of moisture in the area during an MJO ‘wet’ phase, leading to an increased chance of rain. How: El Niño tends to cause warmer days and less rainfall, fewer cyclones, and increase risk of spring frosts due to clear nights. La Niña tends to cause wetter weather, increased humidity, and an increased risk of cyclones and flooding. When: Year-round, but mainly during wet season (December to April). Day time temperatures are usually lower due to cloud cover. Where: Mostly in the tropics, but influence can extend into sub-tropics. Prediction lead time: How: Impact varies by season and location. About 2-3 months for a more reliable forecast, up to 6 months in advance for an indication of a possible ENSO event. We start looking for a possible ENSO event in April/May, but become more confident in the forecast in June/July. Period Wet Phases Dry Phases Note: There is a ‘prediction gap’ from about January to April when it is very difficult to know whether or not an June, July, August (minimal impact) 4 7 ENSO will develop in the coming winter.
