QUEENSLAND:
Queensland (abbreviated as Qld) is the second-largest and third-most populous state in Australia. Situated in the north-east of the country, it is bordered by the Northern Territory, South Australia and New
South Wales to the west, south-west and south respectively. To the east, Queensland is bordered by the Coral Sea and Pacific Ocean.
Queensland has a population of 4,560,059, concentrated along the coast and particularly in the state's South East. The state is the world's sixth largest sub-national entity, with an area of 1,852,642 km2. The capital and largest city in the state is Brisbane, Australia's

P a g e | 7

third largest city. Referred to as the 'Sunshine State', Queensland is home to 10 of Australia's 30 largest cities and is the nation's third largest economy. B risbane is the capital and most populous city in the Australian state of Queensland, [5] and the third most populous city in Australia. Brisbane's metropolitan area has a population of
2.24 million,[1] and the South East Queensland urban conurbation, centered on Brisbane, encompasses a population of more than 3 million.[6] The Brisbane central business district stands on the original European settlement and is situated inside a bend of the
Brisbane River, approximately 15 kilometers (9 miles) from its mouth at Moreton Bay.[7] The metropolitan area extends in all directions along the floodplain of the Brisbane River valley between Moreton
Bay and the Great Dividing Range. The metropolitan area sprawls across several of Australia's most populous local government areas, including the City of Brisbane, which is by far the most populous LGA in the nation.

As one of the four pillars of the State’s economy, tourism impacts almost every
Queensland community. On the whole, residents like the way tourism is developing and want to see the industry continue to grow (59%), particularly in Southern Queensland Country, Bundaberg, Townsville,
Tropical North Queensland and in the Outback. They also like tourists and have grown fonder of them over the past three years (up to 57% from 49% in 2010).

QUEENSLAND

P a g e | 8

To break down the attitudes among the top three destinations:
• Brisbane residents are notably neutral towards tourism – less inclined to agree with the positive or negative impacts of tourism.
• Sunshine Coast locals have made positive shifts in the past three years. More residents like tourists and want both an increase in tourists visiting their region and tourism growth. In addition, more support the benefits of tourism and fewer agree with the negative impacts. • Gold Coast shifts have been more subtle. The period has seen a decline in residents stating they want fewer tourists, as well as a decline in those noting that tourism has a negative impact on their personal quality of life.
The Sunshine Coast, Southern Queensland Country, Fraser Coast,
Bundaberg, Capricorn, Townsville, Whitsundays, Tropical North
Queensland and the Outback residents all rate the community benefits higher than the State average. At a State level, the overall impact of tourism on the local community is seen as positive. In 2013
46% per cent of residents rated the impact of tourism on their community +2 or +3, similarly 50% of Queenslanders rated the impact +2 or +3 in 2010.
In general, residents who nominated that tourism has a positive benefit on their community as well as on their personal life are much more likely to:






Really like where they live and their local area
Have lived in the region for 20 years or more like tourists
Come into contact with tourists
Personally benefit from tourism, or
Like the way tourism is developing in their local area.

GOLD COAST
The Gold Coast is a coastal city in southeastern Queensland on the east coast of Australia. The city is 94 kilometers (58 mi) south of the state capital Brisbane. It is the second most populous city in the state, the sixth most populous city in the country, and the most populous non-capital city in Australia.[1] The Gold Coast has the largest cross-state metropolitan area population in Australia, due to the inclusion of Tweed Heads, New South Wales in its metropolitan area. The Gold Coast's metropolitan area converges with that of
Greater Brisbane, forming part of an urban conurbation of over 3 million people.
While the origin of the city's name is debatable, the name "Gold
Coast" was bestowed upon the city by real estate investors. The first settlement in what is now South East Queensland was as a penal colony at Redcliff. The Gold Coast region remained largely uninhabited by Europeans until 1823 when explorer John Oxley landed at Mermaid Beach. The hinterland's red cedar supply attracted people to the area in the mid-19th century. Later in 1875,
Southport was surveyed and established and grew a reputation as a secluded holiday destination for upper class Brisbane residents.
The Gold Coast region grew significantly after the establishment of the Surfers Paradise hotel in the late 1920s. The area boomed in the
1980s as a leading tourist destination and in 1994, the Gold Coast
City local government area was expanded to encompass the majority of the Gold Coast's metropolitan area, becoming the second most populous local government area in Australia after the City of
Brisbane. The Gold Coast is today a major tourist destination with its

P a g e | 11

sunny subtropical climate, surfing beaches, canal and waterway systems, GOLD COAST
It's high-rise dominated skyline, theme parks, nightlife, and rainforest hinterland, making tourism one of its most significant industries. Gold Coast will host the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
The city consists of 57 kilometers (35 mi) of coastline with some of the most popular surf breaks in Australia and the world including,
South Stradbroke Island, The Spit, Main Beach, Surfers Paradise,
Broadbeach, Mermaid Beach, Nobby Beach, Miami, Burleigh Beach,
Burleigh Heads, Tallebudgera Beach, Palm Beach, Currumbin Beach,
Tugun, Bilinga, Kirra, Coolangatta, Greenmount, Rainbow Bay,
Snapper Rocks and Froggies Beach. Duranbah Beach is one of the world's best known surfing beaches and is often thought of as being part of Gold Coast City, but is actually just across the New South
Wales state border in Tweed Shire.
There are also beaches along many of the Gold Coast's 860 km (530 mi) of navigable tidal waterways. Popular inland beaches include
Southport, Budds Beach, Marine Stadium, Currumbin Alley,
Tallebudgera Estuary, Jacobs Well, Jabiru Island, Paradise Point,
Harley Park Labrador, Santa Barbara, Boykambil and Evandale Lake.

P a g e | 12

Gold Coast has Australia’s largest professional surf lifesaving service to protect people on the beaches and to promote surf safety throughout the community. The Queensland Department of Primary
Industries carries out the Queensland Shark Control Program (SCP) to protect swimmers from sharks.[8] Sharks are caught by using nets and baited drumlins off the major swimming beaches. Even with the
SCP, sharks do range within sight of the patrolled beaches.
Lifeguards will clear swimmers from the water if it is considered that there is a safety risk.
Gold Coast beaches have experienced periods of severe beach erosion. In 1967, a series of 11 cyclones removed most of the sand from Gold Coast beaches. The Government of Queensland engaged engineers from Delft University in the Netherlands to advise what to do about the beach erosion. The Delft Report was published in 1971 and outlined a series of works for Gold Coast Beaches including Gold
Coast Seaway, works at Narrowneck that resulted in the Northern
Gold Coast Beach Protection Strategy and works at the Tweed River that became the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project.

By 2005 most of the recommendations of the 1971 Delft Report had been implemented. Gold Coast City commenced implementation of the
Palm Beach Protection Strategy[13] but ran into considerable opposition from the community participating in a NO REEF protest campaign.[14] The Gold Coast City Council then committed to completing a review of beach management practices to update the
Delft Report. The Gold Coast Shoreline Management Plan will be delivered by organizations including the Environmental Protection
Agency, Gold Coast City and the Griffith Centre for Coastal
Management. Gold Coast City is also investing into the quality and capacity of the Gold Coast Ocean way that provides sustainable transport along Gold Coast beaches.

In fifty years, Gold Coast City has grown from a small beachside holiday destination to Australia's sixth largest city (and the country's most populous non-capital city). Situated within South East
Queensland’s growth corridor, the city is now considered Australia’s fastest growing large city, with a 5-year annual average population growth rate of 3.4%, compared to 1.2% for Australia. Gross Regional
Product has risen from a$9.7 billion in 2001, to a$15.6 billion in 2008, a rise of 61 percent. Tourism remains fundamental to Gold Coast
City’s economy, with almost 10 million visitors a year to the area. In the past the economy was driven by the population derived industries of construction, tourism and retail. Some diversification has taken place, with the city now having an industrial base formed of marine, education, information communication and technology, food, tourism, creative, environment and sports industries. These nine industries have been identified as the key industries by the Gold Coast City
Council to deliver the city’s economic prosperity. Gold Coast City’s unemployment rate (5.6 per cent) is below the national level (5.9 per cent). View of the Gold Coast at dusk.
Around 10 million tourists visit the Gold Coast area every year: of
849,114 international visitors, 3,468,000 domestic overnight visitors and 5,366,000 daytrip visitors. Tourism is the region’s biggest industry, directly contributing more than $4.4 billion into the city economy every year and directly accounting for one in four jobs in the city. There are approximately 65,000 bed spaces, 60 kilometers
(37 mi) of beach, 600 kilometers (370 mi) of canal, 100,000 hectares of nature reserve, 500 restaurants, 40 golf courses and 5 major theme parks in the city. There have been various prospects and proposals raised for even more theme parks than the current five.
Gold Coast Airport provides connection across Australia with airlines including Jetstar, Virgin Australia and Tiger Airways. International

Visitor Needs Checklist

Climate: Gold Coast experiences a humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification, with warm winters and hot, humid summers.
The city experiences substantial summer precipitation mostly concentrated in thunderstorms and heavy showers with rain events occasionally lasting up to a few weeks at time giving residents "the
Summer blues", while winter is pleasant and warm with little rain.

Currency: The Australian dollar (sign: $; code: AUD) is the currency of the Commonwealth of Australia, including Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, and Norfolk Island, as well as the independent Pacific Island states of Kiribati, Nauru and Tuvalu. Within Australia it is almost always abbreviated with the dollar sign ($), with A$ sometimes used to distinguish it from other dollar-­‐denominated currencies. It is subdivided into 100 cents.

Emergency procedures & Medical Centers: Queensland Health's free public hospital system provides quality emergency care services across the State to people who are seriously injured or ill and need immediate treatment. Nearly every Queensland public hospital has an Emergency Department, sometimes known as Accident and Emergency, to treat people who have been hurt in accidents or need serious urgent medical care. This quality care is part of the Queensland Government's commitment to ensuring residents and visitors have easy access to medical treatment when needed. Emergency Departments are open 24 hours day. They have fully trained doctors and nurses on duty or, in some rural hospitals, on immediate call, to help with medical emergencies. You don't need an appointment to go to an Emergency Department. If you need emergency medical care, treatment is provided free to current Medicare card holders at Queensland Health hospitals. Charges apply to patients who do not hold a current Medicare Card. Visitors from countries with a Reciprocal with Australia will be provided with emergency

P a g e | 16

medical care free of charge upon proof of citizenship i.e. passport. You will pay for services if you attend the Emergency Department of a private hospital.

Beach Safety: Spending a day at a beach in Queensland is a fun and enjoyable experience for everyone, whether you are there with your family, with friends, with a lover or on your own. The water looks so inviting, and stretching out on the sand with the gentle sunrays caressing your body is a wonderful feeling. Playing sports on the beachfront is also a favorite pastime of beachgoers because of the wide-­‐open spaces and soft sand. However, beaches are not as harmless as they may appear. It is important to be aware of the dangers associated with beaches in Queensland and take steps to remain safe. By following a few simple rules, your day at the beach can be as safe as sitting in an armchair at home.

P a g e | 18

Lifeguards or lifesavers patrol many beaches in Queensland. These beaches usually also have red and yellow flags that mark the safest place to swim on the beach and the area where lifesavers and lifeguards patrol. A "Beach Closed" sign may be posted on a beach if the weather is rough or if other dangerous factors necessitate the closing of the beach. In these instances, which are rare, do not swim at the beach. You are still able to enjoy your time on the beachfront but not in the water.

OBJECTIVES

PURPOSE STATEMENT

The reason behind this event is not just for the fun of surfing and for people who love to surf and watch their idols to enjoy a day out in the sun, but to raise awareness to our community about our endangered marine animals & creatures. Each Professional Surfer will be representing a different endangered animal ranging from Dolphins, Whales, Sea Lions, Sea Turtles, Fish (Marine & Anadromous) etc.

Aim

The aim of this event to try to raise awareness to the Gold Coast of the major endangered marine animals and what they can do themselves to help and as a community. As each surfer goes into the water for their heat, we will have reports/speakers explaining what their chosen endangered animal is and what we can do to help. We are not just hoping that it will spreading awareness to our community but to communities around the country and around the world, we will be doing this by podcasting it on T.V, have it running live on our website, and by advertising posters throughout Queensland and on social network websites such as, Facebook, Instagram & Twitter.

VENUE ANALSIS
This event will be held at Kirra beach to the north of Coolangatta.
Kirra is a beachside suburb of the Gold Coast in Queensland,
Australia. The small rocky headland Kirra Point separates Kirra beach to the north and Coolangatta beach to the south, and is noted as one of the world's premier surf breaks.

P a g e | 20

In the past the surf break was known for producing high quality barrels. Today sand pumping across the Tweed River mouth has filled it in and changed its character.

In May 1972 the Government of Queensland built a groin, now called
"big groin", extending Kirra Point, to trap sand on Coolangatta beach to the south. The growing tourist industry there relied on sandy beaches and the Coolangatta stretch had been plagued by erosion problems. Surfers were against the plan, believing it would kill the break, and they held protest meetings. They were right about its effect on the surf, for the following year a deep hole formed off the groin. But after that first year the sand returned and it broke as well as ever.

Kirra Beach, 1946
A second smaller barrier, called "little groin" was later built a short distance north on Kirra beach. Since then, the big groin has been partially removed and both groins have been almost completely covered by sand from the sand pumping.

There have been environmental effects of the sand pumping on the reef. A popular diving area with sea-life including Manta rays and
Wobbegongs has been buried over since the pumping started. Dive companies have relocated or turned their focus to other smaller reef areas. The sand pumping contract held on the area is in place until
2024, when the contract will be re-evaluated.

P a g e | 26

stakeholder? –
Stakeholders refer to individuals, groups, or organizations that are concerned with the performance of a business. Stakeholders are concerned with business activities because they will be directly or indirectly affected by performance of the business. Stakeholders can be divided into two categories; internal stakeholders and external stakeholders. Stakeholders use a variety of information for decision making purposes, and the information that is available to stakeholders will depend on whether the stakeholder is an internal or external stakeholder.
What is the difference between an Internal & External Stakeholder? –
Internal stakeholders are those that are directly affected by the business’s performance. Internal stakeholders such as owners, shareholders, creditors, managers, customers, employees, business partners, and suppliers are directly involved with the operations of the business. Internal stakeholders are also known as primary stakeholders. Internal stakeholders generally have a large influence on how the company is run. For example, the company’s owners will take part in important business decisions. Customers are also internal stakeholders that are extremely important to a business as the extent to which their needs are met will influence the company’s sales. Company’s managers and workers also influence the company’s day to day operations by the various business decisions that they make.
External stakeholders are individuals, groups, and organizations that are not directly affected by the business’s performance. These parties are not directly involved in decision making and other business affairs and, therefore, may or may not be affected by the company’s decisions or operations. External stakeholders include government entities, the general public, community businessmen, politicians, analysts, stock brokers, potential investors, etc. External stakeholders will use the company’s financial information and other publicly available information for a number of purposes. Government entities such as Internal Revenue will use this information for assessing tax payments, potential investors will use the information to make investment choices, media will use them for public

awareness purposes, and analysts and stock brokers will use them to advise clients or potential investors.
