Referral of Proposed Action
Referral of proposed action Project title: Cross River Rail 1 Summary of proposed action 1.1 Short description The Cross River Rail project is a proposed new 10.2 kilometre rail link in Brisbane connecting Dutton Park in the south to Bowen Hills in the north. The project will include 5.9 kilometres of twin rail tunnels (one track in each direction) under Brisbane’s inner city and new underground rail stations at Albert Street and Roma Street (in the Brisbane CBD), Woolloongabba, Boggo Road and a new surface station at the Exhibition showgrounds. Upgrades and enhancements to parts of the existing rail network will be delivered where these interface with the project and to support Cross River Rail operations. READING NOTE: The Cross River Rail project has previously (2010) been referred to the then Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and Arts under reference number 2010/5427. The project was determined to be ‘not a controlled action - if undertaken in a particular manner’. Further planning and design has been undertaken since the original Cross River Rail concept was referred. This has resulted in a modified project of a smaller scale with reduced potential impacts and enhanced affordability. This referral has been prepared as a new referral based on key changes to the project resulting from further planning and design. The referral has been prepared as a stand-alone document that can be assessed without having to reference the previous referral. While the Cross River Rail proponent does not consider the proposed action likely to have a significant impact on a matter protected under the EPBC Act, this referral has also been prepared in light of the CRR 2010 EPBC decision including a number of particular manner conditions that require reassessment. -

I often wonder if it is worse or is it an illusion due to television and better George Leslie reporting and communication by the media. It does seem to me that people are less tolerant of each other. I remember being brought up living in tenement housing in Aberdeen. Yes there were difficulties, but they seemed to be overcome and everyone seemed to co-exist.

Like most churches of a similar age Brookside has seen change. Change in our world, Prime Ministers come and go, sporting championships played for. We have seen the highs and lows of a town built around mining. We have seen our farmers go through droughts. We have seen babies born and children grow and we have been there as people have left our church family, be it for work, school or being called to glory. I believe that through this we as a church have done what churches do. We have met together be it during a weekly service or in home groups, we have offered prayer and worshipped together, we have laughed and had moments of joy, as well as times where we have cried and mourned together. We have shared meals and communions, we have seen people commit their lives to Jesus and be baptised. -

In the short term, they provided him with hospitality as he moved from property to property; in the longer term, he hoped, they would become the main purchasers of his paintings. In this article I shall give a brief description of the Darling Downs pastoral elite, and look al the personal connections that existed between Martens and many of these people: connections that explain why Martens was received so hospitably during his travels, and why he had a reasonable expectation that they would patronize his work. In addition, though, there were also structural reasons relating to the changing economic and social climate of the early I850s that help explain why these families subsequently bought his paintings. The pastoral industry took off in New South Wales during the 1830s, when Governor Bourke introduced a licensing system that allowed men to squat on Crown Land. High wool prices encouraged speculative investment in sheep, and squatters fanned out with their flocks from the more closely settled districts near Sydney, driving south towards Port Phillip and north into the New England area. -
