		Areas of the region may be declared as part of the Marine Park and subsequently zoned.
		As the area lies between the continental land mass of Australia and the open ocean of the South Pacific, its climate is also strongly influenced by both the adjacent land mass and oceanic effects.
		Queensland Marine Parks legislation was amended to allow mirror zonings where necessary, in order to minimise public confusion at the interface between the areas of jurisdiction of the two governments.

	INTRODUCTION
		Geographic area codes are assigned in bibliographic records to bring out by code the geographic areas that appear or are implied in the headings assigned to the work being cataloged.
		For a local geographic feature, region, or jurisdiction, the appropriate code for the country or first order political division in which the entity is located is assigned.
		Thus when using geographic area codes to retrieve records, if the code for the entity has changed since the implementation of an earlier code list, it is advisable to specify both the new and previously assigned (historical) codes in the retrieval request if records coded prior to the changes are desired.

	Learning for life - On Line Opinion - 18/10/2006
		State government’s first option will always be for the TAFE sector to pick up the baton, but research shows that its focus is on 15-24 year olds looking to start their careers.
		Surprisingly, it might just turn out that local governments could provide an important part of the solution to help open up learning opportunities to those workers who will be encouraged to upgrade their skills and look for work in industries experiencing labour shortages.
		Local councils are also more likely to take the initiative; they are closer to the action than any other level of government and have a better understanding of what’s going on in their communities.

	Assessing the Possible Local Community Benefits from Ecotourism Operations in Kenya
		Australia’s national and regional governments have been considered as having a history of excellent ecotourism planning and policy, which include a concern for local community benefit from ecotourism.
		According to Fennell, Buckley, and Weaver (2001), The Queensland Ecotourism Plan, created by the Queensland Department of Tourism, Sport and Youth, is an example of a local government policy for ecotourism that includes the ideal of local community benefit.
		ESOK’s logical explanation for this hierarchy of concerns is because local community benefits have usually been pushed aside by conservation (creation of protected areas without recognition of indigenous land ownership) and investment (disproportionate distribution of profits that favored usually non-local investors).
