The important physical and chemical characteristics of these soils and their effects on land use are discussed= Nine plant communities have been recognised0 These have been discussed in terms of their distribution, structural form and dominant species. The area has been mapped into 19 land systems° The land system and component land units are describec The sequence and relationship of land systems to one another are outlined= Vegetation, soils, landform and land capability classifications have been developed for each of the land units. The relationship between land units within land systems is illustrated in a series of vertical cross sections. Beef cattle, dairying and grain cropping are the most important agricultural activities. Present land use, problems and future potential of the area are discussed= It is apparent that many farmer employ management practices that do not comply" with those essential for long-term productivity.

INTRODUCTION The classification and evaluation of land resources is an integral part of any effective agricultural reseat, and extension programme in a developing or re-developing area, The Eastern Downs Land Inventory is a continua of the policy of the Soil Conservation Branch of the Division of Land Utilisation, Department of Primary Industrie to prepare techmcal guides for planning land use within Queensland. 1.1 PURPOSE OF STUDY The purpose of the survey is to provide a systematic description and assessment of the land resources of the Eastern Downs area as a basis for the development of sound land use practices° 1.2 DESCRIPTION OF AREA The Study area embraces approximately I 320 700 hectares of the Condamine River basin, west of the Great Dividing Range It comprises that part of the Condamine River trom its source at Wilson'a Peak down- stream to Dalby~ The shires of Wambo, Jondaryan, Crow's Nest, Rosalie, Millmerran, Pittsworth, Clifton, Toowoomba, Cambooya, AIIora~ Rosenthal and Glengallan all cover portions of the area° The tote! population of the area is approximately 100,000= Toowoombe is the principal centre with a population of 59,476 at the 1971 census, while major centres are located at Warwick in the south (population 9,356) and at Dalby on the western boundary (population 8,890). Many miles of well constructed roads service the region including the Warrego, Cunningham and the New England Highways~ The Great Western Railway, the Southern Railway, and numerous branch lines provide additional transport facilities° 2. METHODOLOGY 2.1 PRINCIPLES OF SURVEYS Land surveys concentrate on the Collection and compilation of data about individual pieces of land= The methods used in surveys depends on the nature of the information required. The land system approach has been used for this survey as it is a convenient and rapid way of dividing land into easily recognisable and describable units° Land systems have been defined by Christian and Stewart (1953) as "an area or group of areas throughout which there is a recurring pattern of topography, soils and vegetation" ~ Areas of uniform topography, sol Is and vegetation within a land system, are described as land units.

  • Queensland's Coal Seam Gas Development and the Engagement with Knowledge, Uncertainty and Environmental Risks
    Getting the Science Right: Queensland's Coal Seam Gas Development and the Engagement with Knowledge, Uncertainty and Environmental Risks Martin Espig Master of Arts (Hons) (Sociology & Anthropology) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 School of Social Science Abstract Along with the current global ‘gas revolution’, Australia’s natural gas industry grew rapidly over the last decade. As part of this growth, unconventional gas reserves in the coal basins underlying the State of Queensland have been developed at a large scale. These coal seam gas (CSG) projects are expected to involve the drilling of up to 20,000 gas wells in southern Queensland alone. On a small — but likely increasing — number of the existing 9,000 wells, CSG companies apply the controversial extraction technique of hydraulic fracturing (‘fracking’). One hotspot of development is the rural Western Downs region where the CSG industry’s rapid expansion and accompanying socio-cultural changes have intensified land use competition between agricultural and extractive industries, while also affecting non-agricultural landholders and regional residents. In this region and elsewhere, CSG extraction has sparked debates over associated risks, uncertainties and possible unknown environmental impacts. Based on ethnographic research in the Western Downs, this thesis addresses the resulting environmental risk controversy by examining the ‘problems of knowing’ associated with CSG developments. My analysis focuses on how a variety of actors come to know CSG and its environmental risks as well as the ways in which uncertainties and unknowns are negotiated. I particularly attend to scientific knowledge claims regarding potential environmental and health impacts.

  • 2021 Land Valuations Overview Western Downs
    Land valuations overview: Western Downs Regional Council On 31 March 2021, the Valuer-General released land valuations for 17,760 properties with a total value of $4,403,967,344 in the Western Downs Regional Council area. The valuations reflect land values at 1 October 2020 and show that Western Downs region has increased by 21.6 per cent overall since the last valuation in 2019. Rural land values have generally increased moderately, except for around Wandoan where there have been significant increases, due to the strength in beef commodity prices as well as a low interest rate environment. Residential land values in the townships of Dalby and Miles have generally remained unchanged, with moderate increases in Chinchilla, and moderate reductions within the towns of Tara and Wandoan. Commercial and industrial lands generally remain unchanged, except for some isolated changes along the Warrego Highway in Dalby. Inspect the land valuation display listing View the valuation display listing for Western Downs Regional Council online at www.qld.gov.au/landvaluation or visit the Department of Resources, 30 Nicholson Street, Dalby. Detailed valuation data for Western Downs Regional Council Valuations were last issued in the Western Downs Regional Council area in 2019.

  • Wambo Shire Handbook
    WAMBO SHIRE HANDBOOK An Inventory of the Agricultural Resources and Production of Wambo Shire, Queensland Compiled by: W. Bott, District- Adviser, Dalby Edited by: P. L. Lloyd, Extension Officer, Brisbane Published by: Queensland Department of Primary Industries September 1976 FOREWORD The Shire Handbook was conceived in the mid-1960s. A limited number of a series was printed for use by officers of the Department of Primary Industries to assist them in their planning of research and extension programmes. The Handbooks created wide interest and, in response to public demand, it was decided to publish progressively a new updated series. This volume is one of the new series. Shire Handbooks review, in some detail, the environmental and natural resources which affect farm production and people in the particular Shire. Climate, geology, topography, water resources, soils and vegetation are described. Farming systems are discussed, animal and crop production reviewed and'yields and turnoff quantified. The economics of component industries are studied. The text is supported liberally by maps and statistical tables. Shire Handbooks provide important reference material for all concerned with rural industries and rural Queensland. * They serve as a guide to farmers and graziers, bankers, stock and station agents and those in agricultural business. * Provide essential information for regional planners, developers and environmental impact students. * Are a very useful reference for teachers at all levels of education and deserve a place in most libraries. I commend this series to students of agriculture and all whose business is associated with the land and rural people. (V.B. Sullivan) Minister for Primary Industries ii CONTENTS Page 1.
