This project was proudly funded by the Queensland Government’s South East Queensland Community Stimulus Program.
Residential subdivisions proposed for Laidley have been given the green light.
Two development applications proposing to unlock more than 150 blocks of residential land in Laidley have been approved, subject to conditions.
Lodged by Spero Global and Sunstone Homes Australia, the development applications seek to reconfigure six lots into 154 lots on land located at 111 and 115 Coates Street, Laidley.
Planning and Development Portfolio Councillor David Neuendorf said Councillors approved the applications after careful consideration.
“The developers have gone to extensive efforts to ensure there won’t be any adverse impacts to nearby homes and to ensure any stormwater and flood risks are appropriately managed,” he said.
“Independent flood modelling and Council’s own flood modelling have been reviewed over and over again, which gave us the extra level of comfort we needed to approve these applications.”
The subdivisions include a ‘local centre zone’ for a shop and food and drink outlet, plus a childcare centre.
Cr Neuendorf said the developers must lodge further reports and plans and obtain the relevant approvals before works can begin.
“The applicants must submit stormwater management plans and detailed engineering plans that demonstrate the development achieves no increase in peak stormwater runoff,” he said.
“They must also construct all necessary internal and external infrastructure to service the development, including a large detention basin to alleviate stormwater and flooding on the existing Coates Street drain.”
To cater for the new subdivisions, the developer will upgrade Coates Street and build Penelope Street, and a roundabout will be installed at the intersection of Napier and Coates streets.
Approved lots range in size from 450m2 to 882m2 , while two lots will be set aside for future development of low to medium density housing.
The private internal road network will be built and maintained by the developers.
“With housing in short supply across the Lockyer Valley and being a growth region, we are pleased to see this area activated and opened up,” Cr Neuendorf said.
Council has applied for funding to reconstruct the Mount Berryman floodway and to install more flood warning signage throughout the region.
Council gave the green light for the projects to be nominated under the Federal Government’s Disaster Ready Fund (DRF) Round 3, with Council to also commit to a 50 per cent co-contribution.
Infrastructure Portfolio Councillor Michael Hagan said Council would commit an additional $625,000 to see both projects come to life.
“The Mount Berryman Floodway project is expected to cost around $1.15M and the Disaster Ready Signage Program $100,000, with Council set to inject $575,000 and $50,000 respectively to both projects, to be included in the 2025-26 Capital Budget if the grant applications are successful.
“The Mount Berryman floodway, located around 100m north of Berlin Road, is exhibiting significant failures and becoming increasingly susceptible to damage.
“The new floodway would be more resilient to inundation, working to future-proof and flood-proof this vital piece of infrastructure. It would also be widened to allow for two-way operation.
“If successful, construction would likely begin in April 2026, after the wet season,” Cr Hagan said.
In addition, Council has sought funding for four extra storage sheds to be erected near localities known to get inundated and cut-off during rain events, which would be used to store disaster-related road condition and hazard signs.
“There are authorised Council employees who live in these isolated areas who can put up or take down the signs when active Council crews are unable to reach the area, increasing accessibility and public safety.
“Feedback from the Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred event indicated the four storage sheds we already have in place for this purpose were very helpful and worked well.
“It’s proposed the new sheds provide coverage to the western parts of the region and be placed at Murphys Creek, Grantham, Withcott and Flagstone Creek,” Cr Hagan said.
Council has also requested funding to install permanent flood warning/road condition signage at a further nineteen sites across the region, including:
• McGarrigal Bridge
• Steinkes Bridge
• Jims Road
• Ingoldsby Road (before first crossing)
• Crowley Vale Road
• Moon Road (Sandy Creek)
• Summerholm Road
• Sippel Road (Sandy Creek)
• Pike Street (Laidley)
• Paroz Road (Laidley)
• Drayton Street (Laidley)
• Sandy Creek Road (Grantham)
• Winwill Connection Road (Winwill)
• Upper Tenthill School Road
• Caffey Connection Road
• Grantham Winwill Road
• Ma Ma Lilydale Road
• Flagstone Creek Road (Iredale)
• Stockyard Creek Road
Following Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, Council’s maintenance crews were deployed to undertake emergent flood works. These works will cease on 13 June. Key maintenance activities such as pothole patching and roadside slashing will continue in conjunction with emergent works. The Capital Program will continue in combination with flood works.

Almost 50% of road defects following Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred have been repaired.
Council’s infrastructure crews are making good progress on road repairs following Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
Infrastructure Portfolio Councillor Michael Hagan said crews were prioritising the worst defects throughout the region.
“There were 739 total defects from the March event and to date, more than 49 per cent of those have already been completed.
“We know we still have a considerable amount of work to go, and it is definitely one of our highest priorities.
“Three crews are focused on emergent works, which involves a 90-day period from the date of the event and is all about restoring access and ensuring the road network is safe.
“The current estimate of flood damage to our road network is $5M, which includes the Emergent Works and the Restoration of Essential Public Assets (REPA) estimate.
“We’re estimating that 25 per cent (125km) of the region’s unsealed network has suffered some form of damage that will require repair, replacement of gravel or grading, and this is in addition to damage to sealed roads including potholes.
“We understand everyone would like their mostused road to be repaired first, however we need to attend to major road safety and access issues in order of priority.
“Like the community, we’d also like to do more permanent repairs from day one but unfortunately, State and Federal funding for disaster repairs don’t allow that, and rather than burden our community with the extra cost, we need to follow the guidelines that are in place.
“We’re urging the community to please be patient, as there are many areas for crews to get to and it will take some time,” Cr Hagan said.
Due to crews being deployed to undertake Emergency and REPA works, routine maintenance of the road network has been reduced from the usual levels.
Council has officially welcomed its 2025 cohort of trainees and apprentices.
This year’s recruits have secured positions in Customer Experience, Disaster Management, Business Support and Innovation, Information Management, Waste and Construction.
The Business Administration Trainees, Rachel-Ann Humphries, Ruby Washband, Tayla Finn and Eon Fleming will focus on all things local government, gaining vital experience to kick-start their careers.
Meanwhile, Summer Mobbs and Ethan Smith will begin their careers as Apprentice Plant Operators in Construction and Waste respectively.
Deputy Mayor and Portfolio Councillor for Organisational Development Chris Wilson said interest was high, with more than 60 applications submitted across the six entry-level positions.
“It was fantastic to have so many eager individuals keen to develop their skills and careers here at Council.
“Throughout their placement, our apprentices and trainees will receive hands-on experience when they work with knowledgeable leaders and staff, many who have decades of experience at Council or in local government.
“They will experience on-the-job training and support to foster their knowledge and experience, and as a Council, we are proud to play this vital role in helping to facilitate the upskilling of our region.
“What they learn through Council will help open doors to many future career opportunities, including here at Council.
“Over the past five years, 24 apprentices and trainees have successfully completed their training with Council, with several staying on in more permanent positions and contributing to a skilled workforce and a thriving community,” Cr Wilson said.
In other good news, the four trainees who commenced last year, Erin Hatcher, Layla Millard, Jessica Cole and Luke McIntosh, recently completed their Certificate III in Business Administration.
The business traineeships are proudly funded by the Queensland Government through the First Start Program under the Skilling Queenslanders for Work Initiative.
Council’s infrastructure crews have begun extensive upgrades to future-proof the site.
The construction works, which began on 19 May and are set to be held over a 10-week period, weather permitting, will see crews upgrade the road, parking, footpaths, and notably the carpark, to the eastern side of the lake.
While works take place to enhance accessibility and future-proof this vital community asset, the community is advised to take appropriate safety measures while facilities such as the carpark are not in use.
Infrastructure Portfolio Councillor Michael Hagan said the works would be a welcome and additional asset.
“We know there is a real need for more carparking around this much-loved community asset, and we’re looking forward to seeing this project come to life.
“Our crews will widen the existing road, construct formalised off-street parking, upgrade drains, construct a safe turnaround area at the end of the road, as well as include pedestrian and vehicle separation along the access road.
“The project will also see the construction of a new pathway that links to public toilet facilities and along the Lake Apex Drive pathway.
“There will also be new signs and pavement markings and tree planting to complete the new look and feel of the Lake Apex precinct.
“Not only will the overall condition of the carpark be greatly improved, but it will also have more longevity, and the community will be safer.
“We ask the community to abide by the safety signage and take appropriate safety precautions for the duration of the works.
“We also thank the community for its patience and understanding through the construction period,” Cr Hagan said.
The project is supported by $830,000 in funding from the Australian and Queensland governments through the South East Queensland (SEQ) Liveability Fund, one of 29 commitments in the SEQ City Deal.
The SEQ City Deal is a partnership between the Australian Government, Queensland Government and Council of Mayors (SEQ) that will deliver long-lasting benefits to the region.
Every year, local governments like ours undertake a detailed planning process which results in the Operational Plan and Budget.
Council will soon hand down its Operational Plan and Budget for the 2025-26 financial year.
While the average resident may not be overly interested in the budget process, it is likely they’ll have a genuine interest in the outcomes… the services that get delivered each year.
The budgeting process is similar to what businesses and even families use, where the goal is to determine which activities and services can be delivered within the expected income.
Council’s income comes from property rates, grants and subsidies, fees and charges, and other minor sources. The total income amount varies from year to year, so Council needs to ensure services are reviewed annually as well.
The Operational Plan guides the Budget by listing the key priorities for services and activities.
These priorities are determined over many months and are based on a range of considerations.
One way to think of this is that most of the roads you drive on, parks you take your family to, ways your household waste is disposed of, towns you live or shop in, and your general lifestyle are supported by Council.
It’s unlikely you could get through a day without enjoying the benefits delivered by your local council!
So, when you wonder, “what do I get for my Council rates?”, the answer is “a lot!”.
And when you compare it to a cost like insurance –where you only see the benefits after an unfortunate event - you get to reap the benefits of your rates every single day!
Our highest priority is delivering a liveable and sustainable region for you, your family and future generations.

It was National Volunteer Week earlier this month and Council had the pleasure of celebrating some of the dedicated volunteers who selflessly give their time to assist Council and make our community even brighter.
Council has a range of dedicated volunteers who assist the community in a variety of roles, including at our Visitor Information Centre (VIC).
VIC volunteer Valerie Edwards started volunteering in March 2024 and serves as a floating volunteer, being on-hand around three times each month.
Valerie, who runs her own entertainment business, said this was her opportunity to do something for her community.
“It’s always lovely to have a change of scenery and to socialise with other volunteers, and the wider community.
“Volunteering also provides first-hand experience which I can relate to my studies, so I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity,” she said.
Mayor Tanya Milligan paid tribute to all volunteers who work tirelessly throughout the Lockyer Valley.
“As Mayor, I have the privilege of witnessing first-hand how our volunteers make such a lasting impact on our community.
“We are beyond lucky to have so many incredible volunteers not only in Council, but throughout the wider community too,”
Mayor Milligan said.
Council has changed its local law to help those struggling to secure housing by allowing short-term residential use of caravans.
Following community consultation earlier this year, Council resolved last month to amend its Subordinate Local Law No. 1.3 to allow temporary residential use of caravans, subject to conditions that manage public safety and amenity.
The changes, which came into effect on 2 May, allow landowners or occupiers to let family or friends reside in a caravan on their property at no charge for up to six months in a 12-month period, without the need for Council approval. These changes will be in effect until 31 December 2027.
Regulatory Services Portfolio Councillor Cheryl Steinhardt said prior to the changes, the use of caravans outside of a caravan park was only approved in very limited circumstances.
“These approvals were limited to situations where a landowner wanted to reside in a caravan on their land while they constructed or renovated their home,” she said.
Cr Steinhardt said the changes gave people another housing option amid low rental vacancy rates and cost of living pressures.
“While the State and Federal Governments carry the responsibility for meeting housing demand, allowing for the temporary use of caravans is a practical step local governments can take,” she said.
“Not only does it benefit people waiting for a rental to become available or for a property to settle, it also supports people doing it tough.”

Cr Steinhardt said conditions have been put in place to ensure an appropriate standard of living for caravan occupants and to protect neighbourhood amenity.
“For example, there must be a residential dwelling on the land with a potable water supply and toilet and shower facilities available to those residing in the caravan,” she said.
“The caravan must not be used by more people than it is designed to accommodate, no grey water is to be deposited on site, and specific boundary setbacks must be adhered to.”
Amendments have also been made to allow the use of a temporary home (not a Class 10a building) on a vacant lot for up to two weeks in any 52-week period without approval from Council.
The Lockyer Valley is listed as an ‘at risk’ area for the Japanese Encephalitis Virus, with residents at risk of being bitten advised to take precautions. Click the button to learn the signs and symptoms
Queensland Health has included the Lockyer Valley in a list of 27 ‘at-risk’ local government areas where the Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) vaccination is recommended for people at risk of exposure to the virus.
Queensland Health recommends the JEV vaccination for people who live or work in the Lockyer Valley, or those who have a planned visit to the Lockyer Valley, AND who are at risk of mosquito bites.
JEV is a rare but potentially serious infection of the brain that is caused by a virus that can spread to humans through mosquito bites.
Council is actively encouraging the community to ramp up safety efforts because protection is key.
To help protect yourself, residents should wear long pants and sleeves, apply mosquito repellent, empty water-holding receptacles from around their home, and get medical advice about whether you should get the vaccine.
For more on how to protect your family from mosquitoes, and where to go to receive your free vaccination, visit www.health.qld.gov. au/clinical-practice/guidelines-procedures/diseases-infection/ immunisation/japanese-encephalitis-virus-vaccination-centres
Significant incursions have been detected in the Plainland and Blenheim areas.
Council continues to assist the National Fire Ant Eradication Program with treating ant nests found on Council land. Residents are urged to remain vigilant and be on the look out for nests.
Fire ant nests are usually found in open areas such as lawns, garden beds, potted plants, near water sources, along roadsides and in newly developed areas. They can appear as mounds or be flat patches of loose soil with no obvious entry or exit holes.
To report fire ants, visit fireants.org.au or contact 13 25 23.
Council will continue to focus its efforts in this area to monitor future ant activity.

A host of community organisations from the Lockyer Valley will share in more than $36,000 in funding thanks to Council’s Major Community Grants Program.
Fifteen groups were successful in applying for funding under Round 2 of the Major Community Grants Program, which provides grants of $1000 to $4000 to local not-for-profits to deliver initiatives and upgrades that benefit the wider community.
Sport and Recreation Portfolio Councillor Anthony Wilson said the aim of the initiative was to provide funding for projects run by not-for-profit community organisations and groups that will create positive social, cultural, and environmental outcomes.
“The successful projects will deliver a huge range of benefits and enrichment to our community, including everything from a new mower, safety gates and equipment, painting community buildings and a water tank.
“If you weren’t successful in this round, please apply for funding for eligible initiatives in the next round opening in August,” Cr Wilson said.
The community is reminded that only Council wheelie bins will be emptied during kerbside collections.
Our waste collections contractor has noticed a growing trend of non-Lockyer Valley Regional Council wheelie bins making an appearance on collection day.
Just a friendly reminder to keep things rolling smoothly:
• Only LVRC-identified bins should be out for collection.
• Stick to the number of bins allocated to your property based on your rates notice.
• Non LVRC bins will not be emptied by the contractor.
• Need an extra bin? Missing or damaged bin? No worries! Just make a formal request.
• Let’s keep our region clean and green together!

Follow us on Facebook for more updates and tips to maximise recycling and minimise waste going to landfill.
Council is temporarily unable to accept disposable drip irrigation T-Tape.
Lockyer Valley farmers and irrigators are being asked to store their used T-Tape on-site until further notice, with Council’s T-Tape recycler still out of operation following Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
Waste Management Portfolio Councillor Julie Reck said Council was no longer able to accept deliveries of T-Tape after reaching full storage capacity.
“Unfortunately, we’re currently having issues with our T-Tape recycler, after their facility sustained damage during Tropical Cyclone Alfred,” she said.
“They are currently in the process of relocating to another property, and together with Council’s T-Tape storage area at Gatton landfill now reaching full capacity, we’re having to put a hold on accepting deliveries until further notice.
“We’re encouraging those impacted to store their T-Tape on-site until collections are re-established, otherwise investigate alternate disposal options.
“We apologise for any inconvenience and will continue to source alternative processors in the meantime and will update our residents as soon as the situation changes, which we hope will be in the near future.”

Council will undertake a test activation of the Grantham Flood Warning Siren on Sunday 1 June at 12 noon.
The test will include a siren tone followed by a verbal message informing people in low-lying areas to move to higher ground.
This is a TEST ONLY and forms part of Council’s bi-annual (twice a year) testing regime to ensure the system is operating properly.
The audible testing will take apprioximately seven minutes to complete.
The siren was installed to alert the community to significant safety risks including loss of life, and is not used for smaller floods or bushfires.

Council’s 2024-25 Bitumen Reseal Program has resealed 42 local roads to help reinforce the structural integrity of the network.
Resealing reduces future maintenance costs and extends the lifespan of the region’s roads, ensuring they remian in a safe condition and resistant to weather-related damage. Without this essential up-keep, roads would deteriorate faster.
Resealing has been completed to a whopping 230,000m2 of existing road pavement, with line marking to follow soon.
The Bitumen Reseal Program is jointly funded by both Council and the Australian Government through the Roads to Recovery (RTR) Program.
The RTR Program supports the maintenance of the nation’s local road infrastructure asset, which facilitates greater access for Australians and improved safety, economic and social outcomes.
Council has endorsed a fee increase for visitors to the region who pop by the Queensland Transport Museum (QTM) – but it’s all for a good cause.
At the April Council Meeting, Councillors gave the green light to a small $2 fee increase. The extra funds will be donated to local veterans’ association, Bootstraps, which offers leatherwork classes to assist with mental or physical injury recovery during service with the Australian Defence Force. Fees are now:
• Adult - $10
• Concession (including serving military personnel) - $8
• Children 6-15 - $5
• Children under 6 - FREE
• Family (2 adults and up to 3 children) - $27
The entry fees for the QTM have remained unchanged since 2019. The free local entry remains unchanged.
