The results of this extensive research and planning work have already delivered value to Council in terms of guiding current community planning activities. Adequate planning for social infrastructure and services is fundamental to managing growth. The development of the Gladstone Region Social Infrastructure - Voluntary Industry Contributions Framework will enable companies to channel funds to the areas of need as determined by a thorough analysis of the existing social infrastructure capital base, the impacts of future growth on community facilities and services as well as feedback through community engagement. I fully support the Queensland Government's proposal to establish the Gladstone Foundation as a regionally based pooled industry fund - it is essential to the successful implementation of the Social Infrastructure Strategic Plan. I urge major companies to get behind the proposed Gladstone Foundation and help to implement these important investment priorities in social infrastructure across the region. The Gladstone Region Social Infrastructure - Voluntary Industry Contributions Framework will ensure a strong and strategic structure is in place to guide industry investment in social infrastructure. The preparation of this Framework is essentially the beginning of a process - it is a "living" document and one which requires continuous update and review to ensure industry funds are directed to areas which deliver maximum benefits to the community.

  • Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion
    Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion “Field of Dreams” Presentation by ResDev Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Background • The Sunshine Coast Council has submitted an EIS to the Queensland Coordinator General for the expansion of the Sunshine Coast Airport (SCA) with a new, 2.45km, east west runway. • ResDev, a subgroup of the Mudjimba Residents Association, has examined the EIS for the SCA Expansion and made submissions to the Coordinator General challenging a range of issues in the EIS. • Following an assessment of the 986 submissions from the public (85% opposed to the Project), the Coordinator General sought additional information from the proponent and then public comment on the Additional EIS. • The Coordinator General conditionally approved the EIS and AEIS in its report of May 2016. Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Some Facts about the existing SCA • Main 18/36 runway -1793m x 30m Minor 12/30 runway - 695m x18m • Fully laden B737 and A320 aircraft can reach destinations on the east coast of Australia. • The runway length can reduce outbound carrying capacity to Auckland and Adelaide (by 17%). • Hence, the existing runway can service flights to 85% of the Australian and 90% of the NZ populations. Sunshine Coast • Since the airport opened in 1961 residential development in Mudjimba and Marcoola has avoided the flight path of 1230 east west Airport Expansion runway (bearing 308 degrees true north). • Through the mid 1980s to the 1998 Airport Master Plan the future east west (13/31) runway had a bearing of 316 degrees true north. • The Maroochy 2000 Plan also indicated the bearing of the future 1331 runway to be 316 degrees true north.

  • Gladstone Region Population Report, 2016
    Queensland Government Statistician’s Office Gladstone region population report, 2016 Introduction The Gladstone region population report, 2016 provides estimates of Figure 1 Gladstone region the non-resident population of the Gladstone region during the last week of June 2016, based on surveys conducted by Queensland Government Statistician’s Office (QGSO). Information regarding the supply and take-up of commercial accommodation by non-resident workers is also summarised. The non-resident population represents the number of fly-in/fly-out and drive-in/drive-out (FIFO/DIDO) workers who were on-shift in the region at the time of collection. This group includes those involved in the production, construction, and maintenance of mining and gas industry operations, projects and related infrastructure. Non-resident workers are not included in estimated resident population (ERP) data released annually by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. As a result, the full–time equivalent (FTE) population estimates presented in this report, which combine the resident and non-resident populations, provide a more complete indicator of total demand for certain services than either measure used alone. Key findings Key findings of this report include: The non-resident population of the Gladstone region was The Gladstone region – at a glance estimated at 1,540 persons at the end of June 2016, around 3,890 persons or 72% lower than in June 2015. The Gladstone region comprises the local government area (LGA) of Gladstone (R), which Gladstone region's non-resident population in 2015–16 largely includes the city and port of Gladstone, as well as comprised FIFO/DIDO workers engaged in construction of three other residential centres and the rural hinterland.

    Plate 7. Vine thicket (type 3),Goodedulla National Park, west of Rockhampton (site 73). Note browning and loss of foliage due to extreme drought conditions (August 1994). Species include Backhousia kingii, Crown insularis, Owenia venosa, Geijera paniculata and Acalypha eretnorum (foreground). - - Plate 8. Interior of (type 3) vine thicket, "Cerberus", west of Marlborough (site 67). Species include Backhousia kingii, E.vcoecaria dallackyana, Guettardella putaininosa and Planclunzella cotinifolia var. pubescens. 142 CHAPTER FOUR A REGIONAL CONTEXT FOR VINE THICKET COMMUNITIES - FLORISTIC PATTERNS IN THE BRIGALOW BELT BIOGEOGRAPHIC REGION AND RELATIONSHIPS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL ATTRIBUTES, PARTICULARLY CLIMATE. Although the core area of distribution and major remnants of semi-evergreen vine thicket are located in central and southern Queensland, outliers of these communities occur extensively in the northern and southern Brigalow Belt Biogeographic Region. Time and other constraints resulted in the southern (i.e. north-western New South Wales) vine thickets being excluded from the detailed field survey (Chapter 3) and in the northern vine thickets being relatively under-sampled. The latter areas have since been included in a comprehensive floristic survey of northern inland vine thickets by Fensham (1995). Floristic data are available for several southern vine thicket locations (Floyd 1991, J.B.Williams, unpubl. lists), three of which were included in Webb, Tracey and Williams (1984) floristic analysis of Australian rainforests. It was considered desirable to test the robustness of the vine thicket classification/typology derived above (Chapter 3) using an enlarged floristic data set compiled across the entire Brigalow Belt Biogeographic Region. Inclusion of site data from Fenshams (1995) survey has two purposes; (i) to improve the intensity of sampling from the northern Brigalow Belt Biogeographic Region (see above) and (ii) to provide an opportunity to compare the vine thicket classifications from this study and that of Fensham, using a common data set.
