Scenic Rim Eat Local Week is Back!

By Susie Cunningham Beaudesert farmers are rejoicing about the return of annual food festival, Scenic Rim Eat Local Week, which makes its post-Covid comeback from 26 June to 4 July. There will be more than 125 events across

the Scenic Rim during the event, which has grown steadily with each year since it started a decade ago. There will be plenty to do around Beaudesert, from food festivals and markets to fine dining events on farms, workshops and plenty of school holiday activities for children.

Personality Profile Local agronomist, Brendan Magee, is always up for a chat and a laugh. He’s familiar with life on the land, and for the last decade he’s applied his knowledge and passion in Beaudesert.

In the 1990s, when Brendan Magee was 10, he was confronted with the harsh realities of life on the land during prolonged drought. Brendan, 37, was born and raised in Capella, central Queensland, on the family’s 2500acre mixed grazing and cropping property, St Omer. His earliest memories are of mustering cattle on horseback when he was four, with his grandfather. As it is with life on the land, with the good times came the very bad. “In the 90s, when I

was 10, my uncle and aunty had to put down all of grandad’s racehorses because there was no feed during prolonged drought, and those things stick with you” he said. Those memories shaped Brendan’s deep sense of empathy for people facing tough times on the land. In August 2020 as the drought hit hard, Brendan started Mental Health Mondays, wearing loud shirts to raise awareness about looking out for the mental health of farmers.

“With the reports we were getting of farm closures and knowing suicide numbers in the bush are ridiculous I thought, ‘stuff it, I have to do something’,” he said. Elders, where he works, got behind the idea and Mental Health Mondays was born. He won an Elders ‘Beyond the Call of Duty’ award and some farms and businesses are now doing Mental Health Mondays, too. This year marks Brendan’s 10th year with Elders Beaudesert, and it has been quite a journey to this point. After boarding school in Toowoomba, Brendan went to university in Gatton but left after finding he didn’t fit the system. Five years later, at the age of 25, he was diagnosed with a learning disability – a moment he counts as

Brendan Magee

one of the most defining in his life. In 2011, Brendan leapt at the opportunity to get a job at Elders Beaudesert, which led to the opportunity to do the diploma of agriculture which now qualifies him as an agronomist. He loves the variety of the job, getting to ‘play farm’ on multiple farms, from dairy pastures to avocado and coffee farms and everything in between. When Brendan’s not working, he volunteers with the Beaudesert Show Society as Chief Steward for the Pasture Section and as Chairman of Woodhill Rural

Fire Brigade. The best thing to come out of Uni for Brendan was meeting a woman named Rebecca, who he married. They moved here in 2004 and worked for seven years with Rebecca’s parents, who ran Glen Eden Thoroughbreds. Now, Rebecca and Brendan have two girls, 10 and 12, and they’ve built a life in the Beaudesert community. “The most important thing is to be good to everyone, only hold a grudge until the sun goes down and be good to your wife,” Brendan said.

ANZAC Day a Difficult Time for Veterans By Keer Moriarty The meaning behind ANZAC Day runs deep for those who served. For local veteran organisation, Scenic Rim Veterans Group, this year’s ANZAC Day was a solemn affair, made more difficult by the cancellation of the 11am ANZAC Day Service and March in Beaudesert. Peter Rewko said it is a solemn day for him. “It’s not about the medals and the march,” he said, “I don’t always march, I don’t always feel I’m worthy. Those guys who died are on our minds so much. It’s about remembering them.” The cancellation of the service and march took a heavy toll on many of the veterans. For them, the build up to ANZAC Day is accompanied by stress, depression, and in many cases escalation of PTSD symptoms. “What happened in the war gets to you,” said Dave Paynter. “ANZAC Day is a day to get it out of your system. The build up to ANZAC Day is affective.” Members of the Group said they understood and

Members of the Scenic Rim Veterans Group gather at the cenotaph on Anzac Day. agreed with the rationale behind the Light Up the Driveway campaign in 2020, but said they were angry about the cancellation of the march this year when sporting events such as football were going ahead. “It’s disrespectful,” said Les Allan, “ANZAC Day is a day we remember the guys who gave their lives so we can be free. Our diggers should

have the right to march, because they went to war.” “Vietnam Veterans waited 20 years to have any recognition, they use ANZAC Day as a release valve.” “I know what it’s like to feel isolated and re-

jected when coming back from overseas.” Peter and Norm Johnson (who passed away in 2019) started Scenic Rim Veterans Group two years ago. Members have served in a number of different conflicts, including Vietnam, Iraq, Somalia,

Cambodia and Timor. They welcome members from Army, Navy and Air Force and meet every Wednesday morning at 10am at Beaudesert Golf Club. For enquiries please phone Peter Rewko on 0403 547 272.

Wessling’s Top $20,000 Shave Target The Wessling family are excited to have smashed their $20,000 Shave for a Cure target, with their total currently at $23,905. The family held a Shave for a Cure event at their Wessling Engineering on Saturday 1 May. Karren Wessling said they had surpassed the $20,000 goal prior to the event. “In total we raised $1,600 on Saturday and our total is currently at $23,905! Almost 4k above our target,” she said.

Karren’s husband John and John’s father Matthew both had their hair and beards shaved for the event. Unfortunately Karren and John’s son Lincoln, who has B Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, was in hospital on the Friday night after having chemotherapy. Karren and John said they were grateful to family and friends for their support and thanked everyone who has donated to their Shave for a Cure campaign.

Medi-Hub Opens at Beaudesert Fair

A new collaborative medical facility has opened at Beaudesert Fair. On Tuesday 27 April, the Beaudesert Fair Shopping Centre officially opened Medi-Hub. A major component to Beaudesert Fair’s redevelopment, Medi-Hub, is a collection of premium medical facilities unlike anything the Scenic Rim has seen before. At the heart of the Medi-Hub is the Beaudesert Family Practice, long-standing patrons of the area who have expanded to ensure they can provide the relevant, essential services to the Scenic Rim community. Alongside this, the Medi-Hub also has a skincare clinic, imaging services, Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology clinic, and a new Priceline Pharmacy.

The redevelopment has been accompanied by an additional 63 shaded car spaces with direct access to the ‘Medi-Hub’ that will ensure ease of access and a convenient experience to all who visit. The opening was celebrated with a ribbon cutting ceremony by Federal MP Scott Buchholz and featured pop-up marketing including locals Little Bee’s Secret Garden and Beautiful Batches. Centre cafe, Teaspoons & Aprons supplied a community complimentary breakfast of bacon and egg muffins and burgers. In 2015, a Queensland family invested in Beaudesert Fair when they saw an opportunity to enrich the region with accessible services and experiences by reinvigorating the shopping centre. The improved Beau-

the development, this project team completed a multi-million dollar refurbishment of Coles. The final piece of the puzzle will be complet-

Delicious Award for Local Dairy By Susie Cunningham Sixth generation Tommerup’s Dairy Farm continue to defy the odds stacked against the dairy industry, taking out a major state award for the second year running. They have been recognised as a state winner in the 2021 delicious. Harvey Norman Produce Awards for their Jersey Girl Crème Fraîche, after receiving the same recognition in 2020 for their Salted Cultured Butter. It’s a proud achievement for the Tommerup family, who continue to alter their farming practices to adapt to a changing climate in the dairy industry, having endured the worst drought in memory and working through the challenges of a global pandemic. Kay Tommerup said the support of their customers meant the world to them. “Producing the highest quality products has always been our priority and we are so proud to have that recognised through these awards. But even more so, we’re incredibly

WHAT’S ON

proud that amazing chefs want to use our products, boutique stores want to stock our products, and our customers value the love and effort that goes into producing them. We appreciate it so very much,” she said. “We are a small family farm, using traditional methods to create products, so it does present its own challenges, but it allows us to be part of every stage of the process and allows us to create high quality, artisan dairy products. “We appreciate the understanding and support from our customers, and the chefs we work with, who are happy to accommodate our smallscale production. They see the value in our farming and artisan practices.” Summer Land Camels, at Harrisville in the Scenic Rim, are also state winners for the second year running, this year for their milk. The national awards will progress in May when a national judging panel tastes all state winners’ produce, including Tommerup’s Crème Fraîche, to decide the national gold medal and trophy winners.

Businesses Reject New Tables

Business owners in Central Place say new tables installed by Scenic Rim Regional Council are an eyesore. Two faux wooden plank tables and seats were replaced with grey plastic this week. Business owner Kylie Peterson from nearby cafe Bean To said the tables are unsightly and look damaged. “They will be too hot to sit on and they have only just been installed but the tops look like they are all scratched,” she said. “It will be less comfortable for my customers who use those tables. I know Council don’t have to ask me about it because they are not my tables but it would have been nice if they did.”

Paths lined with lantana captured my attention on a recent bushwalk out at Wyaralong Dam. I know it’s a weed, but it looks so cheerful. My little sister and I think the flowers (each a cluster of tiny flowers) look like naturally occurring mini bouquets. When I shared this picture on social media, I discovered other people (from a local florist to fellow outdoor aficionados and even a local GP), feel similarly about this common weed. Isn’t it funny, the commonalities we can find in the simplest of matters? Social media can be a strange place, where some people behave in ways they (hopefully) wouldn’t behave in the real world. But, as with all interactions, we can also find opportunities – no matter how simple – to enrich and uplift one another.

Cliff Kroesen of Kroesen & Co Lawyers said it would have been preferable if Council had consulted businesses in the precinct. “Despite the recent work of local business owners to have the Central Place Fountain recommissioned, there was no consultation from Council before the appearance of the furniture was changed,” he said. A Council spokesperson said Council is trialling the new surface top for three or four months. “After the trial period, Council will review the recycled plastic product in comparison to the manufactured timber product used for picnic tables’ surface top.”

MOTHER’S DAY

Celebrating Mums By Susie Cunningham Josephville woman Brittany Stephenson, 27, is gearing up for her first Mother’s Day as a mum. Ms Stephenson and her partner, Rob Cooper, are renovating a workers’ cottage ahead of their first-born son’s arrival and, while they hope he’ll stay put until the renos are done, they’ve made sure to finish the nursery first. The couple, who moved here from the Gold Coast four years ago, are grateful for the opportunity to welcome their baby into the world at Beaudesert Hospital. Ms Stephenson said while their son’s due date is 16 May, he could come any day now. She said having Beaudesert Hospital just down the road from her work and her home was a comforting thought. “It’s so easy at Beaudesert Hospital, they’re just really friendly and you can’t find anyone who’s got anything bad to say about the maternity services,” she said.

“I did lots of research because I was a bit worried about it being such a small hospital, but everyone just raves about the maternity services and from the first time I went in there for my appointments I could tell it’s great. “No matter which midwife you see it’s always great, and the obstetricians are really down to earth.” Ms Stephenson said she looked forward to becoming a mum. “It’s exciting and scary because it could be any day now that he comes along,” she said. “It’ll be nice to have my own little person – my side kick. I think he’ll be very rough and tumble because my partner loves motorbikes and injuring himself, so I’ll have grey hairs in no time, I reckon.” At time of print, Beaudesert Hospital had birthed more than 1770 babies since maternity services were reopened in 2014.

Brittany Stephenson is looking forward to spending her first Mother’s Day as a mum.

Royal Commission Terms Changed

Further to the opening of consultation on the Terms of Reference for the Defence and Veterans Suicide Royal Commission, the Minister for Veterans Affairs, Darren Chester, announced an update. “I recognise that some veterans may not be comfortable engaging in this process through DVA. The government has listened to the concerns of these veterans who don’t wish to provide their input to DVA as part of this process and I have provided this feedback to the Attorney-General, Senator the Hon Michaela Cash, who has agreed to accommodate those concerns and ensure that all voices can be heard.” Veterans, family members and service personnel can send their

submissions for the Terms of Reference directly through the Attorney-General’s website: Defence and Veteran Suicide Royal Commission – Public Consultation | Attorney-General’s Department (ag.gov.au). All feedback to either DVA or the Attorney-General’s Department is required to be submitted by 21 May 2021 and will be carefully considered as the Terms of Reference for the Royal Commission are finalised.” The announcement comes after a number of veterans, including members of the Scenic Rim Veterans Group, stated that DVA is part of the problem and the Department’s policies and processes need to be investigated.

State Wide

May is Small Business Month

Queensland Small Business Month 2021 celebrates the small businesses that make a vital contribution to our state’s economy and play an important role in each region and community. In the Scenic Rim we have thousands of small businesses - they are the backbone of our local economy, no doubt about it. Government everywhere should make it easier for these businesses to grow – get rid of the red tape, the costs and

the regulations – so they can create more jobs for our community. Imagine if we could aim for each small business in the Scenic Rim to be able to afford to employ another person – that would create a couple of thousand jobs locally! Of course, not every business can do it overnight, but what I’m saying is we need to get the conditions right so that when growth is possible, jobs can be added and another person and their family can go ahead. Here are three easy ways you can support local small businesses:

STATE MEMBER SCENIC RIM 1. Buy from independent businesses instead of big chains. 2. Buy gift cards and vouchers from locals a great present anytime of the year. 3. Encourage your friends and family to buy from small businesses by sharing your good experiences and following businesses on social media to help increase their reach in the community. Sunday 9 May is Mother’s Day - a perfect opportunity to buy a gift for mum from a local small business. Buy Local and keep dollars and jobs in our local community.

JOY DRESCHER Recently, I was privileged to chair the Annual General Meeting of Yugambeh Land Enterprises Limited. I was also lucky enough, as Mayor of Beaudesert Shire, to be invited by the Elders of the day to witness the official handing over of the land out Mount Barney way to YLEL, a group formed of the Yugambeh language group of this country. There are eight distinctive clans. The Historic Day was 24 August 1998, a bitterly cold day - but the warmth of the people made it all worthwhile. As luck would have

it, several people’s computers had frozen so everything was by mouth rather than written reports which will be sent to all members as soon as possible. Uncle Des Sandy did the welcome to Country, Aunty Gwen Drumley-Wheeler gave an impassioned talk on YLEL and its aims, objectives and preferred future directions and a plea for cooperation as all owners are equal. President Robyn Currie declined to stand for re-election and the old board all stepped down as required. AGM Chairman Joy Drescher called for

nominations for the new board for its three year term. Representative for the Mununjali is Derek Fogarty, Migunberri has Brendan Knight, Bollongin has Germaine Paulson, Kombumerri has Scotty Blow, Minjunbal has Derek Sandy, Wangeriburra has Wayne Coolwell, BirinBurra has Shaun Davies and Gugigin has Josh Paulson. It was decided that since the Constitution merely specified a minimum of eight on the Board, Janice Page, Renai Paulson, Andrew Blucher and Jarred Fogarty were also elected. A wonderful result

The Yugambeh Land Enterprises Limited AGM. with lots of young blood, new ideas and unlimited enthusiasm. The subsequent Board meeting elections resulted in President Wayne Coolwell, Vice President Germaine Paulson, Treasurer Shaun Davies and most important for everyone, secretary Renae Paulson. A good Secretary is treasured by the whole Board and members as

that position ensures good communication with both Board and members. There were heart-felt tears during this very emotional meeting, cheers and anger and every other human emotion going. I wish this wonderful new Board every success in their endeavours. Blessings to you all.

Beaudesert Rotary Club will host an afternoon tea to support Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month on 22 May 2021. Rotary member, Kathy Smith said the event has already been well supported by local businesses. “I’m amazed by the support we have received,” she said. “I think because of what’s happened in the last 60 days ... one of my girlfriends was good friends with one of the women who died recently. Everyone knew what was happening but no one could do anything.” “I didn’t know about the ‘Rotary Says No to Domestic Violence’ campaign until I was on their web site. When I saw it

I immediately wanted to do something.” Kathy said the afternoon will be lighthearted with a fashion show and decadent afternoon tea, but with a serious side. “We will have the police, YFS and other organisations there to talk about Domestic Violence Prevention.” “People need to talk about this. We need to find solutions, we need to have these conversations.” The Afternoon Tea will be held at Jimboomba Hall, 1/3 Honora Street, Jimboomba. Tickets are $35 per person and are available online from www.trybooking.com/ BPQNC. For more information contact Kathy Smith on 0417 826 547.

TULLAMORE FARM

Garlic Fresh healthy produce is continuing to get more expensive. I have noticed how much garlic has risen recently and it is not that difficult to grow. Have a go at planting out garlic this season, you still have time. We plant out our garlic between late March right through to May. You can plant later but those months are the ideal. Try to source locally from one of garden centres or nurseries if possible, but if not look online. We grow Purple Garlic and some Giant Russian where we are in Kerry and they do extra well in our climate. If you start with a full garlic bunch, just break

them up into cloves leaving the skin on but removing any of the dead flaky peel. We plant ours about 15 centimetres apart, as you can see in the photo. These were planted midMarch. You plant the fatter end to the bottom (make a bit of a hole) and the skinny end to the top. You plant just below the surface. Garlic doesn’t need as much water as other vegetables but we water quite well until established and reduce the watering as they mature. They will be ready to harvest after four or five months but you can and will get some variance. The best guide to knowing when ready to harvest is the size and the green

Garlic growing well at Tullamore Farm. stalks / leaves will start to discolour and die back. You can harvest one plant at a time and you will quickly get the feel for when they are ready. In earlier years we dried our garlic and then

stored them in our cellar. In recent years, after some research, we now break into the individual cloves, leaving the peel on. We just store in a suitable container in our

freezer and grab a clove or two when needed. A clove defrosts quickly and the skin comes off very easily. The cloves keep a very long time in the freezer.

BEAUDESERT’S HIDDEN GEMS

TALKING

Real Estate WITH

BARRY JOHNS EDITION FIVE

Nindooinbah Dam By Susie Cunningham

Tucked in behind the houses of Brayford Estate, Nindooinbah Dam is one of Beaudesert’s hidden gems. A three kilometre walking track takes you from country suburbia into the scrubby bush and over the wall of Nindooinbah Dam and sends you back out into the streetscape. You can start just up from the roundabout on Brooklands Drive, where you’ll see a simple sign and a grassy access clearing between people’s homes. Or you can continue a few hundred metres up Brooklands Drive and find the other entrance opposite the intersection with Meridan Way.

The track will lead you from one of these points to the other and, while you’ll never be far from civilisation, you’ll feel like you’ve found a patch of peace and quiet. At dusk, the dam glows with the peachy pink pastel reflections of the reverse sunset shimmering on the water, set against the shapes of trees mirrored on the dam’s surface. Turtles have been found in the dam, and it’s not uncommon to see kangaroos and wallabies hopping along in the surrounding bushland. Nindooinbah Dam was originally constructed in 1961 as an off-stream storage for the Beaudesert township. In relatively recent years, Seqwater deemed

that it was no longer required for water storage purposes, and Seqwater now retains the site as a small recreation area. Nindooinbah Dam remains a favourite with Beaudesert locals, with some people using it as an opportunity to retreat to the bush nice and close to home. If you’re a particularly keen walker, it can be a good challenge to combine the 3km Nindooinbah Dam track with the surrounding hills of Brayford Estate. Whether you approach Nindooinbah Dam as a place to slow down and spend time in nature or perhaps as an opportunity to get your heart pumping with some more intense exercise, it’s a gem worth appreciating.

The First-time home sellers ultimate guide Selling a home for the first time can be quite overwhelming when not familiar with the real estate world and its jargon. You might wonder what an agency agreement is, how much your property is worth, when the best time to sell is and how to get the best price etc. To help you along the process and make sure you achieve the best outcome, we answered all the questions first-time home sellers might have: What are the steps to selling a property? Here are the steps to take when selling a property; declutter and prepare your home, get a market update, choose an agent, pick a sale method, set a selling price, sign agency agreement, market your property, contract of sale prepared, open for inspections, sale negotiated, or property goes to auction, contracts are signed, property settles. When is the best time to sell my property? Property sells all year round, the right time depends on many factors, including the property itself, the surroundings, neighbourhood you live in, market conditions and personal situation. However, your local agent will you be able to give you a local market report and insights into what you should do and when you should sell your property. What is a sales agency agreement? A sales agency agreement is a legally binding contract that includes all the necessary details for the salesperson to sell your property. The agreement includes property details, full name of the vendor and real estate agent, the agent’s registration number, the agent’s genuine estimate of the selling price of the property, the method of sale, the duration of the agreement, the rights of the vendor to terminate the agreement, the commission to be paid to the agent if/when the property sells, the inclusions and exclusions of the sale, the signatures of both the real estate agent and the vendor. How much is my home worth? Your home’s worth depends on several things: the land value, home improvements & renovations, the location, the real estate market, as well as recent sales of similar properties. However, it is crucial to have a LJ Hooker agent, with their local market knowledge to provide you with an insight on how much your home is worth, comparing with local data from recent sales or properties for sale. Give me a call for a free-market update and let us see what your home is now worth & what I can do for you.

HISTORY

Pioneer Woman - Teresa Maloney Compiled by Barry Kenny Teresa was the fourth child of Patrick and Bridget Egan who migrated from Ireland. Patrick selected land at Tamborine and their children attended the Provisional School there. After leaving school Teresa worked on their farm and in the house. During the early 1900’s

Teresa worked for a family at McLean in New South Wales, later caring for the children at Casino. When her sister Bridget died her two sons were brought into the Egan family. Teresa was an independent young woman and in 1910 she selected crown land at Palen Creek calling the property “Carlton”. Complying with her lease Teresa was ‘In residence’ by October of that year and “Carlton”

Teresa Maloney and Teresa moved to live with Eileen and husband Ken Rohan at Lamington where Teresa became an indispensable part of the household. Teresa died on the 14 June 1963. She was sitting beside Michael’s bed as they said prayers together when she gently passed away. Teresa is buried at Palen Creek Cemetery.

replaced Tamborine as the Egan family home. By 1915 a seven roomed cottage was erected on the “Carlton” dairy farm. In May 1911 Teresa married Michael Maloney at St Stephens Cathedral in Brisbane. Michael was developing a farm at Barney View and they moved there with their two sons in 1915. “Carlton” was transferred to Teresa’s brother Francis. While at Barney View three more children were born into the family. When Barney View provisional School was established the teacher stayed in the Maloney household and Teresa also ran the Barney View Post Office. Teresa and Michael moved to Running Creek when Michael Junior’s wife Mary died and helped raise their grandson Derek. Their second son James Patrick (Pat) also farmed at Running Creek and Teresa became a great comfort to Pat’s young Irish wife Delia who had no close family in Australia. When Michael suffered a stroke he

COUNCIL COMMENT

These are my own personal views. I do not purport to speak on behalf of Council.

Council In my last column I spoke about the need for the Councillors to work with the Mayor to ensure we have a cohesive and functional Council. That also goes the other way as well, with the Mayor needing to work with the Councillors who are elected by each division. The Council is a democracy where each Councillor is given one vote and a majority is needed to pass any motion. If the Mayor is to achieve his vision, then he requires the support of a majority of Councillors. We as Councillors are not there to just rubber stamp the working nicRim #OneSce

of Council but to check and make sure it is in the best interests of the wider community. Obviously, we will always have to pass motions that some in the community will not like, but we must look at the long-term strategic view. The Scenic Rim is a growing region, and we are expecting another 10,000 new houses over the next 20 years. The State Government has required that Council have a Growth Management Strategy to facilitate this increase and the community consultation has just closed and I wish to thank all those who submitted their suggestions.

Beaudesert Revitalisation The first stage of the $8.4m Beaudesert revitalisation has been approved and with a massive grant funding boost by the Federal and State governments of $7.9m, this leaves ratepayers with only $450,000 which is a great deal. The Council have opened a pop-up shop across from the Council building for those who would like more detail on the project. The second stage will be the Beaudesert

Community Hub and Library which will be a huge boost not only for Beaudesert but for the Region. Council will again be requesting funding support from the State and Federal governments.

Tamborine Memorial Hall It was great to see the hall granted $53,000 in state funding for some much-needed upgrades which include a full roof paint, interior painting, new LED lighting (reducing the power bills)

and moving underground some powerlines.

Upcoming Budget Over the next few months, the Council will be working on the FY21/22 Budget. If you see me around and want to give me your priorities, please stop me for a chat or you can email me at the below address.

Thought of the Day “The time is always right to do what is right.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

CONTACT ME I am always available to talk directly with residents by telephone on my mobile 0436 327 434 or email jeff.m@scenicrim.qld.gov.au. Follow me on Facebook – Jeff McConnell Councillor for Division 2 Scenic Rim Regional Council. I am happy to meet with anyone who requests a meeting.

BEAUDESERT BULLETIN, Friday May 7, 2021

COUNCIL WATCH WITH AMANDA HAY

Email: frangipani1956@msn.com The following are my views, not those of the Editor. Any threats of legal action can be directed to me.

Bouquet In line with Council’s Naming of Roads and Places Policy, there is to be community consultation to formalise the name of the Tamborine Mountain Botanic Gardens, the name by which it has been known Australia - and world-wide since 1983. The proposed name is “Tamborine Mountain Regional Botanic Gardens in the Scenic Rim”, which really flows off the tongue – not!

Brickbat “Re-branding” – good to see that the “team” were all wearing match-

ing shirts sporting the newly approved SRRC logo at the Eat Local Week launch on 29 April 2021. I hope the shirts were ordered after the council meeting at which the logo was approved. Is this the first of the “at no cost/low cost” expenditure?

Brickbat The Queensland Audit Office Report 17 tabled 22 April 2021 reveals SRRC’s EOFY Financial Statement preparation was rated “partially effective” but the quality of the draft financial statements was rated as

“below average”, as material adjustments were made to financial statement components. The report makes interesting reading. It summarises the audit results of Queensland’s 77 local government councils and the entities they control: Local government 2020 | Queensland Audit Office (qao.qld. gov.au) and 2020 local government financial information dashboard | Queensland Audit Office (qao.qld.gov.au) – Info re SRRC. Enter “Scenic Rim” in the search space.

Development Applications of Interest • POS19/040 – 10 Meadow View Road, Beaudesert. Subdivision - approved 16/04/2021. This one started off as an application for dual occupancy (on a 600sqm block, which was

Artist’s impression of the approved child care centre in Telemon Street, Beaudesert. approved 16 November 2018). Survey plan sealed. No docs available. Does this set a precedent for that area? • MCU20/131 – 10-12 Telemon Street, Beaudesert. Child care centre, 85 children – lodged 21 December 2020 and approved 01 April 2021. This one sailed through at the speed of sound, probably because it is in the

right zoning (Mixed Use Zone).

Court Actions of Interest: There are now eight live cases involving SRRC before the courts. Funny how no legal firm has been paid in excess of an accumulative $200K this financial year, according to Council’s reports.

COMMUNITY WELLBEING WORKSHOPS

This workshop provides an overview of emotional resilience and introduces the concept of Mental Fitness to support and enhance the wellbeing of those we care about.

Sessions will be held at the following locations on these dates: Boonah Cultural Centre | 17 May | 3 - 5pm | 6 - 8pm The Centre Beaudesert | 10 May | 3 - 5pm | 6 - 8pm Vonda Youngman Community Centre, Tamborine Mountain | 25 May | 3 - 5pm | 6 - 8pm

Local bowler wins Pairs at Beaudesert carnival

2021 NRL Season

GUEST TIPSTER Jess Josling Scenic Smash

The footy tips from Scenic Smash were put together by Jess and the guys who work there. Jess herself said she didn’t know which teams to tip (“I have no clue about football”) and her partner Luke wasn’t there so it was a coordinated effort by the rest of the team!

JESS’ TIPS ROUND 10 Tigers vs Knights Sea Eagles vs Broncos Bulldogs vs Raiders Sharks vs Rabbitohs Roosters vs Cowboys Warriors vs Eels Storm vs Dragons Titans vs Panthers

Double Header Draft Pays Off

Rathdowney Campdraft organisers said the double header of Beaudesert and Rathdowney drafts paid off with four great days of campdrafting in the region. Tony Ward said the Rathdowney draft, postponed due to wet weather, had attracted over 700 first round rides with many competitors following on from the Beaudesert Campdraft. “We would like to thank the sponsors, cattle donors and our volunteers for the work they did over the two days to put on a great campdraft,” said Mr Ward. The John Drynan Memorial Open Draft was won by Jacob Gaske on Dalby and the Col McIntryre and Francis Mylett Memorial Open Open Draft was won by Joel Hill on Tiny.
