    The following schemes are used by Christian Heritage College (CHC) to provide adjustments to the selection ranks of applicants to CHC courses for admissions purposes: • CHC Partnership School Scheme; • CHC Community Engagement Scheme; and • Educational Access Scheme (EAS). Applicants must meet all other admission requirements for their preferred courses prior to the adjustments being applied. Only one scheme can be applied to an applicant’s selection rank. The requirements of the schemes, and the adjustments they provide, are explained below. Year 12 applicants can benefit from an adjustment of 2.00 selection ranks by completing Year 12 at a CHC Partner School (see Appendix 1). The CHC Community Engagement Scheme allows an adjustment of 2.00 selection ranks for applicants in CHC’s catchment area, according to their residential postcode (see Appendix 2). The Educational Access Scheme (EAS) allows an adjustment to be applied to the selection rank of applicants who have experienced difficult circumstances that have adversely impacted their studies. To be considered, applicants apply to QTAC for a confidential assessment of their circumstances.

  • 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.

  • Western Downs Development Status Report
    Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise Western Downs Development Status Report June 2020 www.tsbe.com.au WESTERN DOWNS DEVELOPMENT STATUS REPORT The Western Downs, located in the agricultural heartland of Southern Queensland, is a region experiencing strong economic growth, investment and consistently high employment. The region is well known for its rich agriculture and great liveability, but its biggest wealth is in its people and communities. Home to a growing population of 34,500 people, the Western Downs is a region known for welcoming industry and innovation as well as extending its country hospitality to all new residents and businesses. The Western Downs Development Status Report is a document produced in partnership with Western Downs Regional Council and is updated annually. It equips readers with knowledge including costs, locations and estimated completion dates for known developments in the Western Downs region across infrastructure and services, property development, building and construction, resources and renewable energy projects. Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise (TSBE) is committed to fostering and facilitating the sustainable growth and development of the region and works with stakeholders across the Western Downs to support the local business community. TSBE supports regional businesses through the delivery of information, business support programs, advocacy and regional promotion, as well as membership services to many local businesses. The cornerstones of the economy are agriculture, intensive agriculture, energy and manufacturing — industries which continue to boast a significant number of projects in the pipeline for the Western Downs area. TSBE and Western Downs Regional Council hope this report will encourage further investment in the region, while also providing businesses with important information to help them explore new opportunities.

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.

  • 'Pelham Park' Estate Ile, I
    'Pelham Park' Estate ile, I Proudly prepared & presented by Kaye Tilley /"'" I~ Queensland Independent Property Agents 1 Introduction to: 'Pelham Park' Miles About the Location Situated in the town of Miles, located in the Western Downs region of Southern ald. In the heart of the Surat Basin, which is on the cusp of a $100 billion resource industry explosion. Miles and ·Pelham Park" Estate are situated right in the centre of this positive growth area. The towns throughout the area west of Toowoomba are going to have new wealth, due to 20% of Old's coal reserves & 65% of Old's gas reserves being located in the region. Predicted population increase is from 203,790 (2009) to 301,900 in 2031. The Region has over 47 major projects scheduled for commissioning before 2013, creating over 12,500 jobs. Miles and Wandoan, where cattle and crops are usually the only serious issues, are about to be over- run by multi-billion-dollar resource ventures. This will change them permanently. Already there are major developments and positive business growth in the towns of Dalby, Roma and Chinchilla. The resource & energy sectors are now adding to the established and continuing indus- tries such as water projects, power generation, rail infrastructure, farming & agriculture within this re- gion. There will be a massive demand for accommodation and services. Past history of similar boom areas has shown demand overriding supply of homes, both for permanent and rental accommodation. House prices have been forced upwards and rental demands have increased income returns sub- stantially. , Many resource companies impose an employment agreement clause stating - -a worker cannot reside more than 45 mins travel time from place of employment".

  • 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.
