Barber and Beers in Clayfield Mr Snippets, a popular full-service barbershop, is launching a brand new local bar in Clayfield.

Already well known for its boutique coffee, adding a bar seemed like a natural progression for owner Geordie.

“We offer drinks with a hair service, and excited to have Newstead Brewing Ballymore beer on tap at the moment,” says Geordie.

“We are also looking forward to getting more involved in the community with trivia nights, open mic nights and a space where locals can hang out.”

Mr Snippets has always been a leader in the Brisbane barbershop scene, and pride themselves on offering their clients the best experience.

“We have gaming entertainment set up when you arrive, great tunes while you are having your service, and now with our bar you can stay afterwards for a few drinks.”

Geordie and the team offer the latest services in men’s hair styling, colour services and grooming.

“Colour is becoming a big fashion trend in the local area. Lots of men want to go blonde, or add some bright colour. Shorter, cropped styles are popular too, as well as a rise in longer, sweptback styles,” says Geordie.

Geordie, who has been in the trade for over a decade, is excited to see the industry evolving.

“When I started barbering ten years ago it was all about fast haircuts – in and out the door. Now, we treat our barber shop like a one-stop man-shop, where clients can have a colour, eyebrow wax, beard maintenance, hot towel face shaves…it’s really an experience,” says Geordie.

NUNDAH 3

Have you spotted the new clinic in Nundah?

Who are you guys?

William (W): My name is William. I’m a Nundah local, Dad and another bewildered man riding the roller coaster of the terrible two’s for the first time.

Lily (L): Hi, i’m Lily. Weekdays, I’m cracking people back into place, by weekend I’m out searching for the perfect wave. I’m originally form Canada and William is from the UK. We met while working in rural Sunny Coast and found we had a lot in common professionally.

Two dedicated health professionals with passion and expertise in special areas of their profession who are also great friends.

What do you do?

W: I’m a dentist!, I know, scary word right! I graduated from the Royal London and quickly found my passion in oral and maxillofacial surgery. I was lucky enough to work for several years in that area before returning to general practice. I dedicated my formative years getting experience in all areas of dentistry and now find myself mentoring others.

It has been a great experience so far.

L: I’m a chiropractor. I’ve always been passionate about physical health and science and discovered that through specialised physical therapy techniques I could help my community without the use of medications or invasive procedures.

What sets you apart?

W: We use a lot of cutting-edge treatment, including using blood growth factors in dentistry and evidence-based therapy with chiropractic care.

L: But what really sets us apart is that we treat and advise our clients like we would friends and family.

Make sure to say hello to William and Lily at their new practice at 22 Station Street, Nundah!

Exercise and Diabetes

Finding the right real estate agent ...

Type 2 Diabetes is the fastest growing chronic condition in Australia, affecting 1.7 million Australians. It is a progressive condition, where the body becomes resistant to the normal effects of insulin and/or loses the capacity to produce enough insulin in the pancreas.

One Australian is diagnosed with diabetes every five minutes (Diabetes Australia). Type 2 Diabetes is the number one cause of adult blindness, kidney failure, preventable limb amputations and increases risk of heart attack and stroke four-fold.

The risks of Type 2 Diabetes are greatly increased by lifestyle factors, including high blood pressure, being overweight, insufficient physical activity and poor diet.

Finding the right agent can be daunting. With the right agent, there should be a balance between credentials and chemistry.

It’s understandable you want to choose someone who understands you and your property ambitions and it’s vital your agent can engage with and help buyers.

A friendly, personable and relatable agent can utilise these traits plus local knowledge and passion, an easy level of succinct old-fashioned service and a subtle unpretentious understanding of buyer psyche to assist the outcome.

Partner these qualities with the right strategy, superior negotiation skills and cost-effective, up-to-date marketing tools to maximise your sale price.

The Joint has an 8-week Diabetes Management Program run by a team of Accredited Exercise Physiologist’s, Physiotherapists, Podiatrist, Diabetes Educator and a Dietitian.

Your agent should honour the trust you have placed in them with exceptional service. After all, you’re not just another seller.

Your property is more than just another place on a stock list.

This program may be covered by Medicare or Private Health Insurance for some patients.

If you are ready to begin managing your Diabetes better, talk to your friendly Allied Health professionals at The Joint.

Do you want to be a means to the agent buying a 3rd investment property or a luxury car? Or would you rather hire someone who’s only paid for a successful outcome and relies on repeat and referral business to feed their family, educate their children, pay some bills and add value to the community?

For more info on The Joint’s Diabetes Management Program, call 3191 4455.

“We have a genuine interest in women’s wellbeing and strive to help women feel empowered and in harmony with all areas of their life,” says Angie. “There will be no judgement or quick fixes. Our clients can expect a compassionate and interested partner in their mental health journey.”

The couple that works out together stays together Elisha Chapman, Katrina Harrison (Studio Manager) and Adam Chapman

For couples and young families, finding time to exercise can be a struggle.

Suzy Livingstone, owner of Studio Pilates Nundah Village, has created a space where couples and young families can exercise together to achieve their fitness goals.

“Our studio is family friendly and we welcome couples with young children to bring them into the studio from time to time to squeeze in a class,” says Suzy.

“Our clients are so important to us. We work towards achieving goals and celebrating successes together.”

It’s this support that helps Brisbane northside couple Elisha and Adam Chapman stay on track with their fitness goals.

Elisha and Adam, busy parents to twins, enjoy the support from the team at Studio Pilates.

“It’s a tough 45-minute workout that still challenges me,” says Elisha.

“The instructors are so professional and knowledgeable.”

Get started today with a special offer of 6 classes for $60. The next 30 Day Challenge starts 5 November 2018.

Angie and Caitlin are both post-graduate university-level qualified in clinical counselling and have worked together for a number of years counselling individuals and families.

Plan Your Brisbane

2018/19 Council Budget

Brisbane’s Future Blueprint

A number of projects have been secured for the Northgate Ward in the 2018/19 Brisbane City Council Budget.

The Nundah Village Street Festival is being held again this September and to celebrate our annual Fireworks and Movie under the Stars will be held at Boyd Park, Nundah on Friday, September 7.

This year, residents and the local community are invited to enjoy Paddington Bear 2 on the big screen. The fun will start at 4.30pm, with a jumping castle, sausage sizzle, fireworks and the screening. Make sure to bring your picnic blanket and cushions. Visit /CouncillorAdamAllan for the latest information.

As a result of the Plan Your Brisbane community consultation project, the Brisbane’s Future Blueprint had been developed. One in 5 Brisbane residents interacted with Council to identify 8 principles to help us shape Brisbane’s next chapter:

Two major road projects will be undertaken to reduce congestion and improve safety.

At the Hamilton Road and Sandgate Road intersection a second right turn lane heading south and a dedicated left turn from Hamilton Road will be introduced.

Works will also commence at Widdop Street, Toombul to include a much needed signalised intersection.

Park upgrades will occur at Maggs Street Park, Burnie Brae Park and the lighting will be completed at Boyd Park. Safe school travel improvements will occur at Wavell State School and Wavell State High School. Twenty-three streets are listed for resurfacing and eight for replacement of kerb and channel.

WHAT’S HAPPENING AT THE NUNDAH NEIGHBOURHOOD CENTRE

Homelessness Week Clothing Donations Required

Pictured: The Nundah Neighbourhood Centre stall at northside NAIDOC Week, with Reia Somare-Brash (Human Services Student), Sharon Gingell (Centre Coordinator) and Olivia Keppel (Social Work Student).

NAIDOC Week

Homelessness is highly prevalent in Australia, with 105,237 people currently without a home.

Of these people, 19,838 are from Queensland alone. Currently, 25% of the homeless population are of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander decent and 30% are born overseas.

People who are homeless are often forced into overcrowded dwellings, or into unsafe environments.

Homelessness Week will take place this year from the 6 - 12 August, and will be centred on the idea of Ending Homelessness Together, coordinated by Homelessness Australia.

As part of Homelessness Week, QUT Human Service students, Kirstyn Foote and Reia Somare-Brash will be collecting unwanted clothes and shoes to be donated to people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. If you have items that you would like to donate, please leave them at the hanging displays outside the Nundah Neighbourhood Centre at 14 Station Street between the 6 – 9 August.

Donations of all sizes are greatly appreciated, as this is one step closer to Ending Homelessness Together.

Because of her, we can!

The Nundah Neighbourhood Centre was given the opportunity to attend the northside NAIDOC celebrations on the 12 July as a part of the community fun day at Koobara Aboriginal and Islander Kindergarten Centre in Taigum.

The central theme for this year’s celebration was Because of her, we can!, with celebrations focusing on the essential role that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women played and continue to play within all aspects of the community (Australian Government, 2018).

The community day consisted of yarning and storytelling by guest speakers, tradition dance, jumping castles, craft activities and a range of information stalls.

The Nundah Neighbourhood Centre was able to engage with northside residents and promote the outreach programs offered, such as the legal service, family support and counselling service, playgroup, sewing group, community lunch and the community garden.

Disability Employment Services at Nundah Neighbourhood Centre Sandgate and Bracken Ridge Action Group (SANDBAG) are excited to introduce a new Disability Employment Service available at the Nundah Neighbourhood Centre (NNC).

SANDBAG works with people to identify employment and training goals and provide support and mentoring.
