W. A. M. GUNN (Somerset—Deputy Premier, Minister Assisting the Treasurer and Minister for Police) (10.04 a.m.), by leave: During this morning's Haydn Sargent show, I understand that Mr Sargent claimed that money was lent to the Sanctuary Cove development by the Queensland Industry Development Corporation at the rate of 2'/2 per cent. For the benefit of the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, I point out that yesterday I said that the loan was advanced at commercial rates. The loan was given at 1% per cent above bank rates, which, at the present time, would be I8V2 per cent. The Queensland Industry Development Corporation is not the only Govemment body that has lent money to Sanctuary Cove. Sanctuary Cove also received a loan from the Australian Industry Development Corporation, which is a Commonwealth Govemment agency, and from Beneficial Finance Corporation Limited, which is a subsidiary of the socialist Govemment of South Australia. I repeat that that company is a subsidiary of the South Australian socialist Govemment. Both bodies, AIDC and Beneficial Finance, have lent money to Sanctuary Cove. Mr Burns interjected. Mr GUNN: The honourable member has come one big thud. The Queensland Industry Development Corporation was motivated by its desire to maintain jobs in the State of Queensland. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Builders Registration Board Hon. I. J. GIBBS (Albert—Minister for Works and Housing) (10.05 a.m.), by leave: On Tuesday, the member for Wolston, in a flurry of wild accusations against various building companies, which he claimed had used pressure on the former Minister for Works and myself, included the well-known building firm of Thiess Watkins. He said that that company was responsible for shoddy work and he mentioned the Dorchester building on the Gold Coast. As the honourable member used the protection of this House to make those allegations, I believe it is only right that I give the company's reply in this House so that it can be publicised and recorded in Hansard. The Dorchester building was built about six or seven years ago by Watkins Ltd, which was taken over by Thiess Watkins about two years ago. When some faults were pointed out to the existing company by the board, the work was carried out properly and expeditiously in co-operation with the board. The cost of the work was approximately $250,000. In fact, in a letter dated 8 July 1986, the board's registrar wrote expressing the board's appreciation of the diligence and co-operation of the company in carrying out the rectification work. In part the letter stated— "It is most gratifying to associate with builders who take the responsible approach by standing by their product to ensure both its quality and performance. This attitude can only serve to raise the esteem of both yourselves and the industry in the consumers' eyes." So, by inference, with no justification whatsoever, a leading building company was damned by the Opposition. As I said in this House yesterday, it is a pity that, when the Opposition deals in stolen goods, it does not try to determine what is malice and what is the tmth. I can assure the House that Thiess Watkins Constmction Ltd is a firm with a high reputation. In fact the constmction of the Townsville casino was in the final three considered for Ministerial Statement 12 March 1987 589 the engineering construction achievement award by the Australian Federation of Constmction Contractors. Also the company's development at 200 Mary Street in the city won the Building Owners and Management Association of Australia notation of special merit for Queensland in 1986. I call again on the member for Wolston to apologise for making such unjust and unfounded allegations against such a reputable Queensland building contractor. I seek leave to table a copy of the letter from Thiess Watkins. I would like to read out the letter from the Builders Registration Board in fiiU. The letter is addressed to the secretary, Thiess Watkins Constmction Ltd, 19 Hope Street, South Brisbane and it is in the following terms— "RE: 'The Dorchester' 3 Garfield Terrace, Surfers Paradise Further to my letter dated 2nd July, 1986, on behalf of the Builders' Registration Board of Queensland, I would like to express appreciation for the co-operation and diligence displayed by your company in the rectification work on 'The Dorchester'. It is most gratifying to associate with builders who take the responsible approach by standing by their product to ensure both its quality and performance. This attitude can only serve to raise the esteem of both yourselves and the industry in the consumers' eyes. I would also like to place on record the appreciation of the Board's staff to Mr Ben Neilsen and his team for their co-operation and professional approach in finalising this matter. Should the Board's business deem contact with your company in the future, I look forward to the continuation of our present amicable relationship." It is signed by Arch Nicholson, the registrar. In conjunction with this ministerial statement, I have a couple of other letters that I would like to read. The first is addressed to the Honourable C. A. Wharton, MLA, Minister for Works and Housing, Brisbane. It is in these terms— "Dear Mr. Wharton, Recently, as President of the Queensland Consumers' Association, I made representations to the Builders Registration Board on behalf of S. J. Charles of 4 Madge Street, North Rockhampton. I have enclosed a copy of Mrs Charles' comments to the answer received from the Builders Registration Board and you will note that she is far from satisfied. I believe that this matter should be reinvestigated as I do not believe that justice had been done. Any assistance that you can give in this matter would indeed be appreciated. Yours sincerely, Keith Wright, M.L.A., President". The second letter I wish to read to the House states— "The Hon. C. A. Wharton, M.L.A., Minister for Works and Housing, Executive Building, 100 George Street, Brisbane. 4000. Dear Minister, I seek your co-operation in providing me with an up-to-date report from the Builders' Registration Board in respect to a home owned by Mrs. S. J. Charles and situated at 4 Madge Street, North Rockhampton. This particular home has been 590 12 March 1987 Ministerial Statement examined by the local representative of the Board. I have had several discussions with Mr. Nicholson of the Builders' Registration Board. Whilst appreciating that there is some legal complications in regards to insurance and the responsibilities of the original builder, I believe this matter has been dragging on for far too long. I ask that you"— this is addressed to Mr Wharton— "use your influence within the Department to have finalisation expedited." Mr McPhie: Who is that from? Mr I. J. GIBBS: That was signed "Les Yewdale, M.L.A., Member for Rockhampton North". I will now read another letter to the House— "The Honourable C. A. Wharton, M.L.A., Minister for Works and Housing, Brisbane Dear Mr Wharton, I have been requested to make personal representations in my capacity as the A.L.P. Consumer Spokesman, on behalf of Mr and Mrs Barry Slattery of 11 Madge Street, North Rockhampton, 4701. Whilst I appreciate that this matter has been investigated by the Builder's Registration Board, I believe the file should be re-opened in view of the report submitted to me, prepared by Fulton, Gilmour, Trotter and Moss, Architects. I believe that action ought to be taken to ensure that the necessary repairs are carried out and I seek your support in this matter. Yours sincerely, Keith Wright, M.L.A. Member for Rockhampton". I will now read from an urgent telegram that was delivered by messenger to the former Minister for Works and Housing, Mr C.

A buyer’s market With lending still tight and confidence relatively low, competition for quality homes is comparatively thin on the ground, particularly in the entry level markets that are typically popular with investors. While prices are yet to hit bargain basement levels, it’s fair to say they have flattened out. This is good news for cashed-up investors and SMSFs looking for long-term capital gains. Leading the way is the Western Australian market, which has stabilised after a booming period of growth. Similarly, there has been a slight drop in Tasmanian real estate values after 10 years of strong returns. Indeed some markets in and around Hobart, such as Sandy Bay, South Hobart and West Hobart, recorded growth of more than 200% over the last decade. Property a long term investment While buyers, particularly first timers, might be taking a wait-and-see approach, rental markets around Australia are still relatively strong. As a result, vacancy rates are low and this is keeping rents steady, which is good news for investor cash flow.

The original surveyor was Robert Dixon, but he was replaced by Henry Wade in 1843• Wade proposed principal streets ihO links (92,4 ft.) in width, allotments of ^ acre to allow for air space and gardens, public squares, and reserves and roads along 2 the river banks. A visit to the proposed village by the New South Wales Colonial Governor, Sir George Gipps, had infelicitous results. To Gipps, "It was utterly absurd, to lay out a design for a great city in a place which in the very 3 nature of things could never be more than a village." 1 Robinson, R.H., For My Country, Brisbane: W, R.

The shelter is significant for the evidence it provides of Brisbane’s tramway system and for its contribution to the streetscape of Chatsworth Road. History This timber tram shelter is typical of those constructed by the Brisbane City Council on the city’s tram routes during the 1930s. Although it is situated on a tramline constructed in 1914, tram shelters were not generally built during this period, but appeared later as part of the Brisbane City Council’s efforts to improve the tramway system. Brisbane’s association with trams began in August 1885 with the horse tram, owned by the Metropolitan Tramway & Investment Co. In 1895, a contract was let to the Tramways Construction Co. Ltd. of London to electrify the system. The new electric tramway system officially opened on 21 June 1897 when a tram ran from Logan Road to the Victoria Bridge. Other lines opened in that year included the George Street, Red Hill and Paddington lines.

It was built in 1922 for jeweller and optometrist George Hooper, who opened a jewellery store that operated until around 1950. It is one of a row of buildings in Wickham Street that form a harmonious streetscape and demonstrate the renewal and growth that occurred in Fortitude Valley in the 1920s. History The Paddy Pallin building is a single storey commercial building designed by Brisbane architects, Chambers and Ford, for owner George Hooper, jeweller and optometrist, who purchased the 6 and 21/100 perch site in July 1922 after subdivision of a larger pre-existing block. This building and others in the block were constructed in the 1920s, replacing earlier buildings, some of which were timber and iron. The 1920s was a decade of economic growth throughout Brisbane. The Valley in particular, with its success as a commercial and industrial hub, expanded even further. Electric trams, which passed the busy corner of Brunswick and Wickham Streets, brought thousands of shoppers to the Valley.

  • The Death and Life of Great Australian Music: Planning for Live Music Venues in Australian Cities
    The Death and Life of Great Australian Music: planning for live music venues in Australian Cities The Death and Life of Great Australian Music: planning for live music venues in Australian Cities Dr Matthew Burke1 Amy Schmidt2 1Urban Research Program Griffith University 170 Kessels Road Nathan Qld 4111 Australia [email protected] 2Craven Ovenden Town Planning Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Word count: 4,854 words excluding abstract and references Running header: The Death and Life of Great Australian Music Key words: live music, noise, urban planning, entertainment precincts Abstract In recent decades outdated noise, planning and liquor laws, encroaching residential development, and the rise of more lucrative forms of entertainment for venue operators, such as poker machines, have acted singly or in combination to close many live music venues in Australia. A set of diverse and quite unique policy and planning initiatives have emerged across Australia’s cities responding to these threats. This paper provides the results of a systematic research effort conducted in 2008 into the success or otherwise of these approaches in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Archival and legislative reviews and field visits were supplemented by interviews with key authorities, venue operators, live music campaigners and others in each city. The research sought to categorise and evaluate the diverse approaches being used and to attempt to understand best ways forward to maintain opportunities for live music performance. In Brisbane a place-based approach designating ‘Entertainment Precincts’ has been used, re-writing separate pieces of legislation (across planning, noise and liquor law). Resulting in monopolies for the few venue operators within the precincts, outside the threats remain and venues continue to be lost.

  • Aboriginal Camps As Urban Foundations? Evidence from Southern Queensland Ray Kerkhove
    Aboriginal camps as urban foundations? Evidence from southern Queensland Ray Kerkhove Musgrave Park: Aboriginal Brisbane’s political heartland In 1982, Musgrave Park in South Brisbane took centre stage in Queensland’s ‘State of Emergency’ protests. Bob Weatherall, President of FAIRA (Foundation for Aboriginal and Islanders Research Action), together with Neville Bonner – Australia’s first Aboriginal Senator – proclaimed it ‘Aboriginal land’. Musgrave Park could hardly be more central to the issue of land rights. It lies in inner Brisbane – just across the river from the government agencies that were at the time trying to quash Aboriginal appeals for landownership, yet within the state’s cultural hub, the South Bank Precinct. It was a very contentious green space. Written and oral sources concur that the park had been an Aboriginal networking venue since the 1940s.1 OPAL (One People of Australia League) House – Queensland’s first Aboriginal-focused organisation – was established close to the park in 1961 specifically to service the large number of Aboriginal people already using it. Soon after, many key Brisbane Aboriginal services sprang up around the park’s peripheries. By 1971, the Black Panther party emerged with a dramatic march into central Brisbane.2 More recently, Musgrave Park served as Queensland’s ‘tent 1 Aird 2001; Romano 2008. 2 Lothian 2007: 21. 141 ABORIGINAL HISTORY VOL 42 2018 embassy’ and tent city for a series of protests (1988, 2012 and 2014).3 It attracts 20,000 people to its annual NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) Week, Australia’s largest-attended NAIDOC venue.4 This history makes Musgrave Park the unofficial political capital of Aboriginal Brisbane.
