Community News Oinking good family fun
Contributed by Kylie Merola Landsborough Hotel’s seventh annual charity pig races were held on Sunday, August 18 and, once again, attracted a large crowd keen to join in the fun and help raise money for local charities. Thanks to Terry Morrow from the Landsborough Hotel and his staff, as well as all of the event sponsors and those who came along and supported the event, more than $4000 was raised. Proceeds from the family fun day will go towards supporting four local charities - the Landsborough Rural Fire Brigade, Landsborough State School P&C, Beerwah Glass House United Football Club and the Lions Club of Beerwah. Under the watchful eye of race caller Kevin Kiley, from Noah’s Thoroughbred Racing Pigs, the little pig competitors had locals and visitors squealing with delight. Each of the racers, wearing brightly coloured sequined racing coats, navigated a circuit featuring trigger gates, ramps, hay bales and tyres. The pig that was the first to pop its snout into a bowl of milk at the end of the obstacle course was declared the winner. In between each race, there was plenty of time for the pigs to relax and take a little ‘piggy nap’ in the shade. There were fun activities to keep the youngsters happy including face painting and a petting zoo.
Glass House set to grow again
Coming on top of the 88-lot estate between Fullertons Road and Coonowrin Road comes another development application for 74 new housing lots on Railway Parade in Glass House Mountains. The ex-farming land at 89 Railway Parade is within the low density residential urban footprint zoning, so no public notification of the development is required. According to the planning documents, the lots will range in size from 700m2 up to 1631m2 with the average being 893m2. A dispensation is being sought by the developer as the minimum average lot size prescribed in the planning scheme is 900m2. Four lots are planned to be dual occupancy (or duplex houses) and 15 lots will provide for secondary dwellings (granny flats) to be built, which equates to a total of 93 possible residences within the 11 hectare estate. Three parks are to be created, with the largest being two hectares on the south-eastern corner of the estate, providing natural forest and open space recreation areas. The road layout only allows for one entrance point from Railway Parade, with no alternative exit provided. This could create issues in times of an emergency or if an accident blocks the single exit.
