Talk:Moreton Bay

message: This page needs more work to describe some of the major changes going on in this fast growing locality. The shipping coming into the bay and the air transport is set to increase dramatically over the next decade.  The port for example is doubling its container handling capacity and the airport is working on the plans for a new--and contentious runway.  
The fast growing population of the SE is pressing on on the Bay with boating rising by an estimated 5% per year making it a battleground between the recreational boaters and fishers wanting access and the environmentalists concerned about the biota of the bay.  The current rezoning of the Marine Park is reflecting some of the impact of population on the bay.
On the more positive side, it would be good if someone would write about the strides that have been made in stopping pollution of the Bay through the HealthyWaterways programme, the likely impact of stormwater and sewerage recycling. I do not feel qualified to comment properly on these initiatives.
: By the sound of it you have some sources for this information? Can you post them up here? Rimmeraj 22:31, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Vandalism

message: I am not sure details of the politics for the environmental protection of a section of the bay is important.  This is an encyclopedia not a news source.  Documenting the dates and actions about that aren't appropriate because in the long run they aren't significant. - Shiftchange (talk) 09:00, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Undue weight and not news 

message: At Moreton Bay#Sandbanks: "Past dredging has removed 18 Mn3 and the removal of another 40 Mn3 is planned.[14]", the reference pointing to New Parallel Runway Draft EIS/MDP Middle Banks, Moreton Bay Chapter 1. p 4. Brisbane Airport Corporation. What is Mn3? Taken literally, a million cubed is a quintillion, so they dredged 18 quintillion ... whats? Grains of sand? Who counted them? Anything bigger would be too much to dredge quintillions of it. My guess it that "million m3" (million cubic meters) was intended, but I'm not sure enough to fix it, because the source isn't online.

replies: text: Well spotted.  Looking at page 311 on this document we can see the unit should be million metres cubed or mm3. I'll fix it now. - Shiftchange (talk) 04:28, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

message: To  and other users: I suggest creating an article of Moreton Bay Islands with all islands of :Moreton Bay and also integrate pseudo-articles of Southern Moreton Bay Islands, Queensland and Southern Moreton Bay Islands (Redland City).

replies: text: I see no problem with an article for all the islands in the bay. But the "pseudo-articles" are not "pseudo", they describe two officially bounded suburbs of Gold Coast City (that article could be better named to refer to the GCC) and Redland City respectively, both of which satisfy the notability requirememnts for a place article. They are suburb articles not island articles. Kerry (talk) 18:51, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually the Redland City one might not be an official suburb so might be pseudo. Im on a limited satellite connection in Greenland so I cant accesss the QLD Globe to check this though. I will check when I am back in Oz. Kerry (talk) 19:00, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
