STREET SAFETY: Bikes and cars feeling the tension on Lambert St, Kangaroo Point

Tensions over cyclist safety BY JAMES JESSUP The winding streets of Kangaroo Point have become a hotbed for tensions between cyclists and motorists. Locals are citing plenty of near misses and unsafe road use which have been claimed by some people in the community as an inevitable result of poor planning. There is widespread suggestion that the problem would be solved by completing the river walk between Dockside and Mowbray Park - a project which is currently unfunded by the Brisbane City Council. Penny Darling, manager of Peninsula Apartments on Thorn St, said the problems occured when there was little to no light. “The cyclists come around the corner and some of them don’t have lights, or just a very little flashing light, and there has been a couple of incidents where there has been some near misses with the cars,” she said. “They seem to come really fast and around that corner and there’s a bit of gravel - I’ve seen quite a few of them come off their bikes.” The Gabba Ward Councillor Jonathan Sri said the unsafe road use in the Lambert St and Thorn St cycling route could be mitigated by slower

speeds but was predominantly a result of an inadequate shared zone. “I think some of the commuter cyclists probably need to exercise a bit more caution around some of those sharp bends, but motorists also need to slow down,” Cr Sri said. A major issue according to locals is cyclists veering into the middle of the road, something which Cr Sri says is sometimes a necessary part of riding in the shared zone. “[Sometimes] even if there’s a bike lane indicated or painted on the road, it’s not safe for cyclists to ride in that bike lane because that puts them in the door zone.“ Ben Wilson, CEO of Bicycle Queensland, said the problem area was known to Brisbane City Council and that the completion of the river walk was the ideal solution. “They know that there’s a crash history around those narrow winding routes,” Mr Wilson said. A council spokesperson confirmed that in the past three years there had been one reported cyclist-motorist collision in Kangaroo Point, which occurred last year on Lambert Street.

The river has become a focus of Brisbane City Council planning but one that curiously ignores the popular transport hub of Teneriffe. Two of what the council describes as “docking hubs” will be built to provide tourist, private and commercial moorings at New Farm Park and City Botanic Gardens. These will be followed by one at West End, two at South Bank and a further five at suburban locations. Not a single dollar, however, has been budgeted for the Teneriffe ferry terminal, the gateway to the Gasworks and Vernon Terrace bars and restaurants and a 15 minute walk to the James Streets retail and leisure precinct. Lord Mayor Quirk said a lack of mooring facilities had prevented access to key riverfront entertainment, lifestyle and business precincts. Agreed, but the myopia that clouds the council’s vision for Teneriffe is difficult to understand.

It is a myopia that extends to the Teneriffe bus terminal where the passenger waiting shed resembles a converted World War II bomb shelter and the garden centerpiece of the traffic roundabout is untended and weed covered. The council says the new facilities will allow people to board Moreton Bay and island cruises, hop-on hopoff city sights tours, water-taxis and leisure craft. Just how the water taxi proposal will work has not been revealed. How will licences be issued, what will they cost, who will set the fare structure, where will they be permitted to put down and pick up passengers? Uber water taxis, an Uber-tinnie app? Nobody knows. New Farm ferry terminal will also be significantly upgraded to allow two CityCats or cross river ferry services to dock at the same time. This is a welcome move but ignores the undeniable fact that the great concentration of commuters, and one that is increasing by the month, is at Teneriffe and not New Farm. Myopia, of course, is easily treated and there is still time for a visit to the municipal optometrist and a rethink of the river strategy to include Teneriffe.

A family legacy that’s good as gold

“

Wallace sees the retail challenge reflected in his local community of Newstead …. Here there is enormous property growth which spawns a plethora of food outlets but there are limited retail outlets.

BY ANNEMARIE WHITE With the gold of his family jewellery business running through his veins, Wallace Bishop at 83 years of age knows a bit about success. Celebrating 100 years in the competitive trade, he has learnt well from his father and grandfather and is now passing that wisdom and retail acumen down to his children and grandchildren. As Chair of the Wallace Bishop empire, Bishop speaks frankly of the struggle of his grandfather that goes back to 1907 when, as a young jeweller, Wallace Snr came out to Australia from Birmingham by ship. “He had planned to get off at Rockhampton and farm, but an optometrist Charles Sankey Fraser offered him a job in Brisbane. “So that’s where he landed. He and my grandmother, who was a gilder by trade, started jewellery jobbing at Merivale Street,” explains Wallace.

DOUBLE GOLD ANNIVERSARY: Wallace Bishop reflects on a milestone of 100 years of trading. Photo by Chelsea Sipthorp.

And so began the jewellery giant that is Wallace Bishop Pty Ltd. Although Bishop’s son Carl Wallace started work as a junior at the ES&A Bank, now ANZ, he quickly joined his parents in the trade and Wallace Bishop and Son was officially formed in Adelaide Street Brisbane in 1917. An expansion to a second store in Fortitude Valley was quick, with the family now 100 years later owning and running 56 stores throughout Australia. When asked about international growth, Bishop laughingly says “we are busy enough without having to

look outside this country!”. While his forebears were jewellers, Bishop began his apprenticeship as a watch maker. “There is a distinction: just like a panel beater and a mechanic are very different but work closely, so the skills of jeweller and watchmaker relate well. “I was always fascinated by how things work and the physics of machinery, so when I joined the business, my intuitive knowledge was an asset. “Today both elements underpin our success.” Bishop also displayed his business acumen early in his accession to the expanding business. “When I joined, the waiting time for watch repairs was six weeks. “I knew by efficiently delegating the various repair tasks we could cut that to one week and thus increase our productivity. “Wallace Bishop stores still have that one week repair promise nearly 50 years later.” Although their retail operations have greatly expanded, Bishop is genuinely proud as he says “we are still a family business. The generation succession plan continues with my son Stuart now CEO and his two grandsons Alexander and William also involved”. As the business moves into its second century, Bishop is very aware of the challenges now facing retail from cheap imports and online buying. “Although we do sell online, our finest quality retail stores are our focus. “One of the main challenges has always been placing our stores in high traffic shopping centres, where centre management often considers jewellery stores high end tenants and prices their rentals accordingly.” Thirty years ago the perceptive businessman saw that the people making money amid escalating

”

industrial and occupancy costs were in property. “I realised that’s where our future of retailing lay, so the company invested in a substantial property portfolio, keeping us stable.” Wallace also sees the retail challenge reflected in his local community of Newstead and its neighbouring suburbs. “Here there is enormous property growth which spawns a plethora of food outlets but there are limited retail outlets. “I am not a grumpy old man, but it saddens me that we are losing our local identity in a mass of skyscraper apartments, coffee shops and cafes.” However, he laughs tongue in cheek that he is very comfortable that the security of the business headquarters in Commercial Road is now assured with the Australian Federal Police moving into the opposite corner. Reflecting on a life well lived outside the business, Bishop maintains that his greatest investment was “marrying my bonnie lassie Janette 55 years ago”. When asked about his other achievements, Bishop stands and points to the line of photographs hanging in his office. He beams pride in Stuart winning the prestigious De Beers Supreme Award for a ring he designed and made. He talks of his love of sailing: crewing Etchells with sons Stuart and Cameron into the world’s top 15, but also the disappointment of almost making the 1972 Olympic team with John Cuneo who went on to win gold for Australia. He is excited about the restorations of his many vintage cars and points to a group of Charolais cattle bred on his farms. As the male members of the Bishop family continue the tradition of adopting Wallace into their name, no doubt the love of creating fine jewellery will continue in the DNA of Bishop generations to come.

Fears remain for Skyring

YOUR SAY... on the Skyring controversy Village News spoke to locals using the footpaths of Skyring Terrace.

BY JAMES JESSUP Concerns over the lack of safe and convenient crossings at the Skyring Terrace have escalated due to Brisbane City Council relocating the CityGlider bus stop back to its original position opposite the Gasometer, requiring pedestrians to again cross four lanes of traffic. Central Ward councillor Vicki Howard said the issue would be looked at as part of a wider traffic study initiated by the Council. “We’re doing a traffic consultation for the whole Peninsular and we think that that’s really important so we get the whole picture of where traffic’s going and what sorts of things that we might do that will impact on other areas,” Cr Howard said. The move of the bus stop and possible safety ramifications has again flared local debate as the problem remains unsolved. Village News asked locals what they thought of the issue, while we also received feedback in our Letters to the Editor (see page 20).

- Tony At some stage or another somebody is going to die there. And that, I can tell you for a fact.

- Cracker Noonan Put another crossing in somewhere. You can see older people will struggle.

- Aaron Edwards A pedestrian crossing, maybe some speed bumps. An overpass seems a bit much for what it is.”

- David Sloan A zebra crossing would be pretty good. I mean even just to have the sort of collapsed curbs, you know, that they have over at South Bank, that kind of idea.

- Mary-Anne Sweet I live here and work in the city. I’ve been hit on a pedestrian crossing as a pedestrian. I think traffic lights slows it down completely.

- Vicki Webb It would be good to have another walkway but I don’t know if another set of lights or anything would make a difference.

- Nicolas Lopes I guess once all the apartments and new buildings are up, there will be some difficulties. New traffic lights or just maybe another crossing.

- Jo Fehlhaber When you’re sort of on time constraints you have to walk all the way up there… or to the lights… so, yeah I think maybe a zebra crossing.

- Lauren Stock Obviously there’s an island there but if the island was made for pedestrians, that would be really handy. I don’t think that they’d ever put in a zebra crossing.

Minimising work/life strife BY MIKE O’CONNOR Mirvac executive and first time Mum Riye Aria-Coupe warns women about to take maternity leave that they will experience an emotional whirlwind. “Is it going to hinder my career? What’s it going to be like when I go back? How involved will I want to be? They are all questions you keep asking yourself,” she says. Riye, senior development manager for Mirvac’s apartments and residential developments, has been back at work for six months and is still making the transition to a full time role following the birth of her daughter Sachie seventeen months ago. “Mirvac provides the ability to reduce your hours to part time when you return from maternity leave so at the moment, I’m on four days a week but others have come back on two days,” she says. “It all comes down to discussions and workload responsibilities. “My role as senior development manager for Mirvac’s apartment business in Queensland is to sit over the top of our teams to make sure

they are all singing the same song. “I bring them together to deliver large, multi-stage sites so in my capacity, two days a week would have been extremely difficult.” Riye credits a company program called Keep in Touch with making her eventual transition back to work easier. “It allows people to keep in touch with the company while on leave so we can get emails or come in for training, sit in on a meeting or come in for a staff morning tea,” she says. “Also we get to keep our phones and laptops and our emails are still active so you stay engaged. “As a result, leading up to my departure I wasn’t feeling too nervous because I knew that there would be a lot of things in place. “You do worry about your career and it was challenging when I came back, to be honest.” Guilt, Riye says, was one emotion with which she had to deal. “You’ve been with your child 24/7 and then you come back and jump straight back in and you’re thinking ‘Oh, I’ve left my child in childcare!” Riye concedes that with the advantage of hindsight, she may have taken a slightly different approach.

FINDING BALANCE: Riye Aria-Coupe with her daughter Sachie.

“Maybe I would have eased back in over a month at two or three days a week and got my head back into the game. “That was a big lesson for me.” Sachie is now in daycare at 480 Queen Street in the CBD across the road from her mother’s office. “They open at 7.30am and you can sit there with your child while they eat breakfast. “They have an open door policy so you can drop by any time. “I still try and take my lunch over if I can.” Riye says that while she is considering moving to nine days a fortnight, she is enjoying the extra time with her daughter. “I can take her to swimming lessons and go to the park and play with our mother’s group. It’s been important to me from that guilt perspective that I’m not in there at work 60 hours a week.”

It’s important to realize, Riye says, that every woman has different needs. “I’ve got a friend who loves working full time and others who work a couple of days a week and others who don’t work at all and are considering taking two years off,” she says. Her advice for intending working mothers is to ensure they have good communication with their managers before taking leave. “You need to know what the expectations are and don’t say you’re going to be away for three months when you’re planning to take 12. “You also want to know if you want to be kept in contact during that time. It’s easy to be isolated while you’re on leave. “It helps to have realistic expectations as to how that child care transition is going to go.” Riye says she would love to have a bigger family but is happy to wait. “I think for the moment I’d like to enjoy being back at work.”

It’s Law. Plastic shopping bag ban and container refund scheme starts on 1 July 2018. “I was delighted to support this law in Parliament as it is great for the environment and our waterways in Queensland.” #banthebag

Police warn baits in park When Teneriffe twins Louise and Hannah (pictured) took their labradoodles for a walk at Teneriffe Park, they never expected a cube of rat poison coated in peanut butter to be dropped at their feet by the youngest dog, Harley. The incident occurred within a day of another dog ingesting rat poison at New Farm Park. “At first we thought it was maybe a bit of plastic left over from a kids party,” Louise said. The dogs were being walked near the neighbourhood playground. “There were kids at the park at the same time, so a kid could have grabbed it,” she said. Harley appears to have recovered well, and police have issued a statement to the community warning them to be vigilant when out with children and pets.

Kids bounce Don’t judge to Powerhouse a river by its colour

Combining an Aussie love of social sport and a great cause, the Bouncing Back Handball Festival will return to Brisbane’s Powerhouse this month in support of Mental Health Week. The event is a free kid’s handball tournament that incorporates various other activities for the whole family. Festival committee member Kris Webb said it would be bigger and better than ever in 2017. “The whole idea is that it is just a fun event where everyone could go down there on a Sunday and there’s something for everyone,” she said. This year’s festival additions include a DJ, a paperplane throwing competition, and a chess competition in addition to the handball tournament with age and gender divisions to ensure a fun and equal playing field. Kris said there would be a sausage sizzle, cakes and coffee with proceeds going to the New Farm Neighbourhood Centre. The festival runs from 9am-1pm on Sunday October 15 and registrations are open on the day from 8.30am until 9am.

BY LAHNI JONES Brisbane played host to the 20th annual International River Symposium last month, casting a spotlight on the condition of the Brisbane River, which is its healthiest in 15 years. Healthy Land and Water’s chief scientist Dr Paul Maxwell said the water quality of the Brisbane River particularly around the CBD had improved greatly over the past decade. “Fifteen years ago the water was high in nutrients from sewage discharge and this has improved fourfold,” said Dr Maxwell. “Although there has been an overall decrease in pollutants, pressure is increasing from urbanisation and development along the river so it is important to maintain the level of water quality to keep pace in the increase of development.” Dr Maxwell said the CBD, particularly around Kangaroo Point and New Farm, was an under-utilised

fishing location and it was important for the council to provide people with access to the river. “I just finished a fish community study and the city reaches are great for bream and prawns, among other species,” said Dr Maxwell. “This is a vibrant industry with great environmental value and despite thought that the Brisbane River is a drain for pollutant water, there is actually a lot of opportunity for recreational fishing.” “People who are engaged with the river through recreation are more likely to work with councils to protect it.” Hopefully the health of the river will continue to improve over the next year, with last year’s $760,000 federal government grant to clean up Brisbane’s waterways due to be rolled out by the end of this year. Trevor Evans MP, Federal member for Brisbane, said locals would be happy to know the grant designates $70,000 to reducing sediment runoff from Teneriffe Park into the river. “New Farm and Teneriffe are synonymous with the river, so improving the water quality only makes these suburbs better places to live,” said Mr Evans. “I’m committed to seeing the projects through to their fruition so that one day we can re-nickname the river the ‘blue snake’.”

Ceramics with heart, in the heart of Newstead BY LAHNI JONES Found in an airy, open warehouse in Newstead, Mas & Miek Ceramic House provides a welcoming atmosphere to practice the revived art of ceramics. The project of mother daughter duo Mieke and Charlie De Deyne, Ceramic House opened five months ago and provides the experience of something new in either a guided or unguided setting. “Ceramics are having a big resurgence and it’s a really nice meditative activity that I think a lot of people in the city really need,” said Charlie. “The last resurgence really occurred in the 1960s and ceramics has really been called a soul craft which people love to do. “I think at the moment people are really craving that hand-made aspect and are craving to make things their own and cherish it in their own home.” Mieke and Charlie have collaborated under the name Mas & Miek for the past five years, with Mieke obtaining her Masters in Ceramics from the Australian National University, and Charlie a Bachelor’s degree Fine Arts, majoring in jewellery and silver smithing at Queensland College of Art.

The pair share a special, creative bond and have spent countless hours working together, with Charlie explaining their work is very fluid. “No one piece I can pick up and say I made this top to bottom, or my mum made this,” said Charlie. “Every step of the way we swap and change – this morning I was finishing off bowls that my mum made yesterday, that’s very normal for us.” The Ceramic House features a fully equipped ceramic studio, an espresso bar and a mezzanine area with a library for inspiration. “We wanted to make it an environment where people wouldn’t feel intimidated to walk into a working studio, because everyone is curious,” said Charlie. “Everything is a process and that’s what we are trying to teach people here which a lot of people are liking it’s quite refreshing that it’s slow.” The studio features introductory workshops and master classes on Sundays starting from $200 for a package of four sessions. Mas & Miek Ceramic House is located at 11 Byres Street in Newstead. Visit www.theceramichouse.studio

Local designers take on Brisbane Fashion Month

‘Outsider’ JOEL REA

Brisbane Fashion Month is back for October and set to host a series of events aimed at showcasing Brisbane’s and Queensland’s fashion scene.

Hunt + Kelly is a lifestyle brand made to suit any occasion from the beach to the bar, with the label catering to every shape, every size, and every age. Paul Hunt said Brisbane Fashion Month was an opportunity for designers to come together and showcase their brands. “Any opportunity that puts your business out there, whether it be Brisbane Fashion Month, whether it be a pop up store online, word of mouth, whatever it is - it can only be a good thing for your business,” said Hunt. “Really believe in what you’ve got and take every opportunity that there is to actually push it out there.” Hunt + Kelly will be showcased on

COUNCIL CONNECTIONS COUNCIL LEADS THE WAY IN SUSTAINABILITY FOR SMOOTHER SUBURBAN STREETS Our commitment to a clean, green and sustainable city continues, with tens of thousands of tonnes of materials being recycled to create new and improved roads. In the last year alone, we recycled more than 63,000 tonnes of asphalt from our road network, which was re-crushed and graded before being delivered to Council’s Eagle Farm and Riverview asphalt plants for re-use. This recycling ensures a reduction in the need to use raw materials such as crude oil, less quarrying of rock reserves and less material being sent to landfill. Our program also delivers a significant benefit to ratepayers, with $3.6 million saved through asphalt recycling, and an additional $500,000 saved by using recycled road gravel as capping material at our landfill sites.

ENVIRONMENT GRANTS OPEN Brisbane City Council has a range of grants available to help protect Brisbane’s natural environment and promote sustainability. The grants below open on Monday 2 October and close on Monday 6 November 2017 for your application • Environmental Grants: Community groups can apply for grants between $1000 and $20,000 to undertake environmental initiatives for local or city-wide environmental projects. • Sustainability Grants: Community groups can apply for grants between $1000 and $10,000 to implement energy efficiency measures, supporting the reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. For more information please contact 3403 0254.

SCHOOL STREET SPRING HILL UPGRADES Residents will have seen that we have upgraded the pedestrian and cyclist crossing facilities to improve safety and accessibility at School Street Spring Hill. The project included: • modifying the median traffic island to include dedicated crossing facilities for pedestrians and cyclists • installing new directional kerb ramps with connection to existing footpaths • widening the kerb on the eastern side of School Street to improve accessibility and safety • relocating the traffic signal pole, and • associated pavement marking and line marking. Together with the local community, we identified the need to improve this intersection and I am pleased it was constructed recently.

Ethnic broadcaster calls for support For nearly four decades, Kangaroo Point’s Radio 4EB has been a staple of Brisbane’s community radio circuit, providing listeners with content and music in over fifty languages. From October 6 to 15, it is once again time to support the station and ensure its continued efforts to survive and enrich the city as part of the annual Radiothon. Supporters can be in the running to win numerous prizes by donating to the station on 98.1 FM. This year’s motto is “Thank You”, as a gesture to the volunteers that keep the station running – the target is set at $80,000. October is probably most busy – yet exciting – for the station’s German Group however, as the Brisbane German Week also joins the month’s lineup. The event, starting on the first, will offer a multitude of opportunities for locals to embrace German culture

GOING GLOBAL: Journalist and broadcaster for the German Group, Julian Lehnert.

– including a chance to meet the German Honorary Consul. German Group convenor Katharina Loesche is optimistic: “The upcoming month is a wonderful opportunity to connect with our community and to experience the German culture and spirit in every way,” she says. In an effort to expand, the Group is also looking at broadcasting a weekly youth-focused show drawing attention to current events and emerging music trends via the 4EB’s digital channel Global. With the ongoing support of its listeners, Brisbane’s only multilingual radio station is gearing up for an important month. Details info@4eb.org.au

• Lord Howe Island is such an enchanted place - so many beautiful walks and magnificent views. The little village has a retro feel. I imagine it’s what Byron Bay was like back in the 70s. Lady Elliot Island is also a mighty little island. Manta rays, exquisite coral and a relaxed, unfussy resort make it such a pleasant break and it’s so close to Brisbane! • New Guinea is often overlooked as a destination but offers so much. Scuba diving in Milne Bay off the eastern tip of PNG and Madang has amazing war history along with hair-raising wildlife! The highlands and Sepik River areas also provide sensational art and culture experiences. • Istanbul delivers exoticism in spades. How could you not love the markets, history and the food?

 From page 3 Tensions over cyclist safety “The preference would be to see the river walk completed, we know there’s just one or two stumbling blocks with that before it gets a bit of a tick off,” Mr Wilson said. The stumbling blocks include private ownership of riverfront land, meaning that completion of the project is not as simple as extending the walkway on the shore. “There’s ways around that, as New Farm showed, there’s ways around

that when you have a problem,” he said, referring to a section of river walk which was built out onto the river in New Farm to solve a similar problem. “But they’re high-cost items and they’re not funded in the next twelve months.” Cr Sri said the required upgrade was achievable and necessary, but that council was currently reluctant to spend the money. “It’s kind of ridiculous actually that the council is taking so long to cough up the money for the river walk.”

LEADING THE WAY: Beth Toon with her UDIA and Fraser Property Women in Leadership Award. Photo by James Jessup.

Beth finds her Place BY THOMAS MORGAN Local businesswoman Beth Toon had never considered career in the development industry, but four years after taking up a role promoting diversity and empowerment at Place Design Group, she has been awarded the UDIA and Fraser Property Women in Leadership Award. Ms Toon, general manager of the Fortitude Valley-based company, said she was surprised at the announcement she had won the award. “I was really humbled to win it,” Ms Toon said. “I knew there would be lots of other amazing women in the industry who throughout their careers have done exceptional things.” Ms Toon, who started at Place Design Group four years ago, said the award was reflective of the ethos found throughout the company. “I’m a big advocate for diversity,” she said. “Whether it be for women or men, diversity is a really broad issue and not necessarily just one about gender.” Ms Toon said the industry as a whole was making strides toward becoming more accommodating towards women. “Women in the industry are doing better,” she said. “Being a female in a leadership position is being in a minority, so I think it is really important for women in those leadership positions to make sure they are empowering and encouraging others to achieve greater

things,” she said. “It’s not only for themselves but for the community as well,” she said. Since starting at Place Design Group, Ms Toon said her focus had been improving community engagement with development. “With social media and the way technology is moving, people are looking for a lot more transparency,” she said. “In order to develop our cities and towns into places where people want to live, we have to take the community on the journey with us.” Place Design Group has operated from Fortitude Valley for 16 years and manages office and precinct development, landscaping and urban renewal projects, ranging from large developments in China to the upgrade of the Big Pineapple in Queensland. While the company has opened offices internationally to cater for the rise of Chinese business, Ms Toon said the Peninsula was still attractive for developers and was upbeat about the River’s Edge Strategy. “Because of the ways (the river) snakes around us, it provides a lot of opportunities for linking,” she said. After receiving her recognition, Ms Toon wanted to thank the Urban Development Institute of Australia, which advocates for solutions to Australia’s growth on a state and federal level, as well as Frasers Property, which sponsors the award, as well as her co-workers who nominated her. o c t 17 | V I L L A G E N E W S

EDITOR Skyring debate continues Consideration for construction of the Skyring Terrace overpass has come to my attention while reading the Village magazine. Working at RBWH I travel by foot or by bicycle to the hospital on a regular basis. Although at times Skyring Terrace is a somewhat busy road it has a very comfortable and open atmosphere. I strongly oppose the construction of a Skyring Terrace overpass which would diminish this considerably (making it feel more like a cement jungle). There are sufficient safe and convenient places to cross the road. - Jeremy

It just goes to show, that if you load a question with a suggestion, many people will go along with it. A pedestrian overpass would

require a lift on each side of the road to provide equal access. This is unlikely to be attractive or used. It also assumes that cars should take preference over other users. Usually pedestrians will take the shortest and most convenient route. The problem at Skyring Terrace near Gasworks is that there are many pedestrian desire lines to and from the shopping centre. At the moment the only signalled crossing is at the traffic lights exactly where no one wants to cross, as it often involves three long cycles of the lights to get to a location. When the retail area adjacent Energex opens, along with the relocated bus stop, there will be another pedestrian desire line from this area to Gasworks and vice versa. A solution might be to stop the right turn vehicle entry to the Gasworks from Skyring, to accommodate a pedestrian crossing on the west side of the Skyring/ Cunningham intersection. The impact would be that cars entering Gasworks from the west would have to use the under-utilised Longland Street entry. To accommodate other pedestrians walking via the park from the north, there should be a pedestrian crossing across Skyring. From the guarded response from

BCC, they could well be considering all these options, hopefully along with more reasonable (ie reduced) parking limits on the adjacent streets and full width paved footpaths and more street tree planting. - Christopher Wren

I totally agree with the (Skyring Tce) issue identified (September Village News) but not the solution. Generally, pedestrian movement in the Newstead and Fortitude Valley area is fraught with poor alignment/ integration, poor quality footpaths, poor disabled access, narrow paths servicing both pedestrians and cyclists... to name a few issues. We need a more holistic thinking about pedestrian movement. We claim to be a world city, yet we build the high rises without the associated facilities and green space. As a general rule, people don’t use overpasses. They prefer land-based crossing (less work) and as soon as you talk about an overpass with disabled access, lifts, height etc then you are talking big dollars. A simple, cost effective and possibly temporary solution would be (i) to align the paths between Gasworks Shopping Centre and Park, (ii) relocate the CityCycle station

located across the road currently blocking the straight line access, and (iii) add a pedestrian crossing. The crossing between BOQ, Energex and Haven precincts is prime for a raised walkway and signal the entrance to a premier dining and living locale. - Michael Fritschi, Teneriffe

Editor’s note: Village News this month covered more of the Skyring controversy!

 Turn to page 5 for more Thanks Mike I would like to congratulate Mike O’Connor on his article “Never work with children, rentals, animals or parking” (CRAP) in last month’s Village News. It was bang on the mark right down to the 5 year extensions and cheerypicked committee. Mike must have read our last year AGM minutes. You are a brave man. - Fred Ropp, Teneriffe

There’s no beating the heart Local businesses at Central Brunswick are keeping the heart of The Valley pumping with their authentic and passionate services. As an inner-city shopping centre it may be surprising to find that there is a large amount of parking so that you can always get to the place that you need, but the best reason to visit this centre is the passion of the people behind the businesses. Mark, manager of Urban Lung Cafe, said that his business operates with an environmental conscience. “All of our packaging is compostable, we even compost our green waste and used coffee grounds,” he said. The Central Brunswick Dental Centre is another business which operates with a conscience,

focussing on customer relaxation and preventative dentistry. “We aim to provide the best service and care, whilst ensuring a stress free environment for our patients, in an atmosphere that allows a relaxed and enjoyable experience,” owner Dr Bryce said. Central Brunswick is also home to a bakery which caters to French pastries and Vietnamese Street food. “I’ve been doing this for 20 years, I love baking, and there’s something so artistic about pastries, I love the creative expression,” said Danny Dang, owner of Central Brunswick Bakery. Clearly, the passion of the business owners at Central Brunswick means the title ‘Heart of the Valley’ is one that is truly earned.

Return of river restaurant V I L L AG E

food

ANNABELLE CHAPPLE For more than a decade Eves on the River was one of Brisbane’s busiest wedding venues. Most weekend afternoons, blushing brides and glowing grooms could be spotted exchanging vows on the lush grassy knoll in front of the restaurant or taking photos by the river. So when a fence was erected by Mactaggarts Place apartments last year blocking this access, Eves was forced to shut down. One year on, after tireless campaigning by locals, the fence has come down and Eves on the River landlord Tanja Caprioli has found a new head chef with a fresh vision to take the helm of this local culinary icon.

You name it and Kelly Bloye has done it, from head cheffing at a wild game restaurant in Scotland to setting up countless iconic Brisbane cafes. Amidst the sounds of buzz-saws and hammers I sat down with Kelly to hear about the restaurant’s monthslong renovation and to learn the inspiration behind the new menu.

but never went back because I met someone here. I ended up working at Sassafras, then Simpatico and realised after nine months I didn’t want to work such long hours because we’d had a child so I started a catering business.

F I L L US I N ON YOUR BACKGROUND ?

I took a year off food and have been working as a stevedore at the wharfs. I unload shipping containers and monitor all the items being imported and exported. I sit in a machine that’s 10 metres high and overlook the whole of Moreton Bay, it’s nice. I got into it because a friend of mine works there and the industry wanted to hire more women.

Well 20 years ago this year I did my apprenticeship here at w It took me three years then I went travelling with the seasons. I worked at Straddie in the summer, Jindabyne in the winter and did that for about four seasons. When I settled back in Brisbane I worked at Alibi Room and was head chef at Freestyle when it first opened but I wanted to see more. I bought a one-way ticket to the UK, because I have dual citizenship, but found out quickly I hated London. I lasted there three weeks before making my way to Scotland where I ended up staying two years working in a seafood restaurant that also specialised in wild game. W H AT BROUGH T YOU HOM E ?

I promised my dad I’d be home by my 30th birthday. I had a return ticket to Scotland

SO W H AT ’ S K EP T YOU BUSY L AT ELY?

W H AT L EA D YOU BACK T O EVES ?

I hadn’t seen Tanja Caprioli [coowner and landlord] in 20 years but we ended up meeting up at the start of this year. She was concerned that because of the fence she wouldn’t get a tenant. She said, “What do you think?” and I said, “No, not doing it”. Then she convinced me, so this is how it came to be. EX PL A I N T H E I NSPI R AT ION BEH I ND T H E N EW M ENU?

Tanja’s half Italian and soon after we decided to stupidly do this she went to Italy to visit her parents who were holidaying there. She came back and said, “I know what we’re doing”. So she gave me the focus point and I developed the menu from that. I’ve come up with a gorgonzola and walnut stuffed whole quail, which is going to be the signature dish. That one came to me one night. HOW DI D YOU COM E U P W I T H T H E N EW M ENU?

I have a huge cookbook library at home so I went through all the Italianstyle books and labelled pages that I liked.

With a chef friend, we then wrote this really basic menu. I hated it at first so I just had to better it. I would write it again and better it and that’s how I developed it. Some days I’ll get in my head an idea, like we need a dish with cheese, then I’ll just think about the cheese until all the other elements come into it. YOU SA I D BEFOR E YOU ‘ ST U PI DLY ’ UNDERT OOK T H I S PROJ ECT, W H Y?

[Laughs] Because it’s been a lot of work but I think it’s going to be awesome once it’s done, it’s going to look great, it’ll have good energy, it’ll be nice to get the community eating there again because obviously the fence pulled apart the community a bit.

This was an easy dessert to make and a crowd-pleasing summer dish. I’d never made tiramisu before and so had been ignorant to the fact it traditionally uses raw eggs. With that in mind, food safety is important so here are some tips to avoid mishaps: ensure your eggs are fresh, ensure they have been stored in a cool place, do not use eggs that have been previously cracked or have dirty shells, when separating the yolks and whites use your hands or a device, not the shell, and remember wash your hands thoroughly. Finally, enjoy!

eggs, separated

2 tbsp

caster sugar

¼ cup

Kahlua

1 cup

brewed coffee

24 or 200g sponge fingers (savoiardi) 1 tbsp

pure cocoa

“

Tiramisu uses raw eggs, so food safety is important with this recipe!

Select a 2L rectangular, deep dish for serving and set to one side. Empty mascarpone into a large mixing bowl. Beat eggs yolks with sugar and until thick and pale then mix into mascarpone. Whip egg whites into stiff peaks and fold into mascarpone mixture. Combine Kahlua and coffee and lightly dip sponge fingers into the liquid. Layer the biscuits in the serving dish, then cover with a layer of mascarpone mixture. Repeat and finish with a mascarpone layer. Sieve cocoa powder on top and refrigerate for at least two hours before serving.

BETH J LEACH My house is a black hole for socks, that’s all. I don’t get it. One of a pair just keeps disappearing, never to be seen again. Poof! What is happening here? Am I in the Bermuda Triangle of cotton and polyester? My geographic co-ordinates will be revealed one day, perhaps, to be the sock disappearing capital of the world! I can see it now on 60 Minutes. “Woman believed to be at the epicentre of generational sock disappearance - identity exposed.” Are there other people living in my house and I just haven’t met them yet, all walking around with mismatching pairs to taunt and frustrate the true owners? It’s not like I have a hungry Labrador devouring all in its path; socks, sink plugs, plastic lids. Nor is there a trap door in my washing machine that sucks out lonely socks to the outer realms of white goods,

hell and purgatory… Or is there? This national convention for The Singledom Of Socks that continues to be held in my house must stop! Get a hotel! Pair up for life, ye fickle folk. Your true destiny is on our feet together, forever. Don’t believe the hype. The grass is always greener so resist temptation! If you don’t like each other, you don’t have to be rolled up together. I can separate you within my drawer. And, if the smell of the other is getting too much, don’t leave! We can work through this. I also don’t to dwell on the negativity of social stereotypes, but I will, because I’m desperate, so here goes. “Dear Sock, do you want to be called ‘Odd’ all your life? When you get old, you’ll be old and odd.” With time, that will burn… Nope. The pep talk didn’t work. I refuse to buy replacements, so there’s nothing left for it. I wave the white sock. Embrace this bold new future I say! I shall go forth proudly into the foray wearing you as odd socks, one mismatched foot after another. Let’s build a world full of love and acceptance of our differences! “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”

The Submarines Association Australia, Queensland Branch has welcomed the revitalisation and opening of Teneriffe’s historic Engine Room as a cafe. Former Association president Don Currell, who was in attendance as the Lord Mayor opened the venue, said it had taken a long time to raise awareness of the wharf’s historical role. “It has taken about seven and a half years from start to finish to tell the story of submariners at this site,” Mr Currell said. “The submarine plaques we have erected here detail their history from 1914 to present. “Our branch has worked very hard to put our history on show for the community to read about.” Engine Room cafe, which sits beside the Submariners Walk Heritage Trail, has used the interior to link itself to the history of the region. “Inside the cafe there is submarine memorabilia which links this back to area,” Mr Currell said. A large mural adorns the cafe’s wall, featuring the interior of the USS Silversides, which patrolled Pacific

waters throughout World War Two and docked at the site where the Submariner’s Trail now lies. Mr Currell said the mural, provided by Glenn Edwards of NJ Shopfitting & Design, was a nice touch to the building. “This photo brings life into the operations of the Engine Room Cafe for visitors to marvel at what was inside these submarines,” he said. Mr Currell, now 62, first boarded a submarine at the age of 16 and went on to spend half a century in the Royal Australian Navy. Two years ago, he was awarded the Order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for his work with veterans. Despite his recognition, Mr Currell said the credit for the Submariners Walk should go toward the organisation. “Our submarine association branch has worked very hard to put our history on show for the community,” he said. “Without a solid branch and good submariners behind this, it wouldn’t have happened.”

No need to keep the doctor away

The Peninsula was swept up in a sea of rainbow on 23rd September as thousands of members of the LGBTIQ community held their annual Pride March and Festival. The day’s events, which began as a march on Brunswick Street in Fortitude Valley and ended with a festival in the beautiful New Farm Park, was an important day for a community looking to reaffirm itself in light of recent challenges.

If you avoid seeing the doctor, the newly established River Tree Health at West End may be a perfect solution. Dr. Michelle Vickers, the clinic’s founder and managing director, said it is a multi-disciplinary approach to medicine that makes this practice different to a regular medical clinic. Dr. Vickers said that integrative medicine gives patients a choice to have access to a team of wideranging specialists as opposed to just one doctor. “What makes this practice, River Tree Health, unique is that we are a medical practice that goes beyond the ‘quick fix’ and goes to the root cause, including looking at gut health and integrative medicine.” “The really amazing part about integrative medicine as opposed to seeing a single practitioner is that integrative medicine gives you your second opinion straight away,“ she said. The clinic also has a strong client focus to ensure a comfortable experience.

This involves complimentary tea and coffee, a choice of waiting rooms, interactive tablets and snacks to purchase. “The experience is one that really does help you to walk in and feel like you can relax here. “We will take care of you and we’ll make sure that we’ll get to the root cause of what’s going on and fix you for the long term.” Details: www.rivertreehealth.com.au

West Village - the apartment renaissance Apartment living is Brisbane is undergoing a renaissance. Buyers are voting with their feet and leaving single-tower high rises to move into integrated residential precincts where lifestyle is paramount. And West Village is at the vanguard of this “new Brisbane living”. Project Director Andrew Thompson said experienced apartment dwellers, particularly those who have lived in the same place for several years, were being enticed to a precinct where they could live and play – and work if they wanted to. “Amenity and lifestyle are the key,” Mr Thompson said. “Our buyers want to live where they can do their grocery shopping, entertain and dine, go to the gym, meet their medical and health needs and enjoy open space and fresh air – all within a few steps from home.” West Village is centred around the historic Peters Ice Cream factory, only 1km from the CBD. Stage One - expected to be

completed late next year - will include a variety of residential accommodation styles, restaurants and cafes, a full-line Woolworths supermarket and associated specialty shops, child care, community and

art spaces, gymnasium, health and wellbeing precinct and more. West Village will eventually comprise eight apartment buildings and nearly 1ha of open space, including four leafy laneways and two parks - Mollison Green, and Boundary Street Common which will recreate an historic grass forecourt on Boundary Street.

The Doctor of Villiers St. V I L L AG E

hi stor y GERARD BENJAMIN

One day in the 1930s, Archbishop Duhig decided that the large churchowned house on Villiers Street, situated between the church and the school, would be an ideal live-in doctor’s surgery. Answering the call in August 1938 was Dr A.J. (Alf) Morton of Clifton on the Darling Downs. After graduating from Sydney University, he had worked at St. Vincent’s Hospital before returning to Brisbane in 1937 to take a position at the Mater Hospital. The next year, Dr Morton married Cairns girl Monica O’Hara (they had met in Brisbane) and the couple made the three-bedroom residence their first home. It was easy to allocate a separate entrance on the front corner of the house for the surgery, office and

waiting room. The surgery hours (9-11am, 2-4pm, 6-8pm, six days a week; plus home/ night visits and sometimes Sunday call-outs) presented no problem to an enthusiastic young couple. The doctor’s wife, though she wasn’t a nurse, intended to help in the surgery. Unfortunately, at the sight of the first patient’s badly infected toe, Mrs Morton’s fainting spell signalled the end of any ambition of being her husband’s nursing assistant. Instead, this left her more time to practise the violin (she was a member of two orchestras) as long as it took place out of patient hours.

“

Unfortunately, at the sight of the first patient’s badly infected toe, Mrs Morton’s fainting spell signalled the end of any ambition of being her husband’s nursing assistant.

The noise issue became more complicated as the four children arrived. How do you ensure that exuberant youngsters observe the decorum of surgery hours? Come Sunday, when the house is patient-free, how do you make sure that the kids keep the noise down when Mass is in progress next door? Besides, the nuns would let them know if they were making too much noise or disturbing classes in the school on the other side of the house. The third of the four Morton children, John, born in 1943, only lived in the house until he was six, but he has vivid memories of that period. “We four children had our beds on the large open verandah on the school side,” he said. “If it rained, the canvas blinds were put down, and even though New Farm

was bad for mosquitoes, our mozzie nets offered some protection.” Since the house had a long driveway to the garage down the bottom of the yard, the spot was ripe for a billy-cart track. John also remembers the stories about wartime. “An air raid shelter had to be dug in the backyard. It had a bare dirt floor, and was equipped with a gaslight lantern and supplies of food. It was only seriously used three times.” On school days, John recalls that his mother insisted that the children come home during the lunch hour for a baked meal with the whole family. “My sisters hated it. They wished that they could simply enjoy sandwiches with their friends in the schoolyard,” said John. In 1949, the family left New Farm for Ascot, and the surgery was taken over by Dr Jack Stoll. *** The house dates from around 1915, and by the 1920s was known as ‘Fortingal’. The name possibly reflected the connection the owner felt with the small highland village in Perthshire. J.G. McGregor was a prominent Brisbane solicitor and a keen student of Scottish history. In 1926, his daughter Katharine was the first woman to be admitted to the Bar in Queensland. In the late 1920s, for a short time, the house became the nuns’ convent. These days, the house is part of Holy Spirit School. John often gives talks to the students who are fascinated by details of the ‘old days’ when he lived there. “I can picture the home’s interior just as I remember it, especially the leadlight windows,” says John. “It’s good to know that they are still there.”

Take a walk back in time Grace Grace MP with Samuel Jackson.

Opportunity cuts through Fortitude Valley barber Crown & Co has benefited from employing young jobseeker Samuel Jackson under the Queensland Government’s Back to Work program. The program provides support payments to employers who take on a long term unemployed or young unemployed jobseekers. Employment minister and member for Brisbane Central Grace Grace said she was proud to see so many young people receive similar opportunities to Sam. Sam acknowledged the program was instrumental in allowing him to secure a job as a barber at Crown & Co. “I’ve got a passion for it, so it’s great,” he said.

Residents are being encouraged to contribute interesting stories about Teneriffe toward a new historic walking trail. The walk is the brainchild of Teneriffe Progress Association president Ben Pritchard, who believes there is a need for designated walking routes around Teneriffe that pick up on its unique and vibrant history. “As one of the oldest parts of the city, you could spend two days walking through Teneriffe and still not see everything,” Mr Pritchard said. “There are interesting parts all over the place which people may not have heard of, so it would be useful to have a resource to guide people around those sites in Teneriffe.” “We could even extend it into a food and wine trail - it has the potential to develop into any manner of things.” To contribute stories, speak to Ben at the TPA’S monthly meeting held on the third Wednesday of every month at 29 Macquarie Street, Teneriffe or email teneriffeprogress@gmail.com.

The many faces of over 50 SE N IOR

voi ce

BY JENNY MILNER There are many terms used to describe the senior members of our population: mature aged, retirees, pensioners, oldies, grey nomads, over 50s, senior citizens, veterans, elders, etc. None of those terms fit ALL of those in the “past middle age” bracket. For that matter, what is “middle age”? A few decades ago, it was very different from what we consider middle aged or senior today. Not all seniors are retired, and not all retirees are pensioners. Not all pensioners are veterans, or grey nomads. A large proportion of over 50s are still employed, paying mortgages and educating families, and do not consider themselves old or elderly, nor should they. ARE YOU OVER 50?... READ ON… National Seniors CEO Dagmar Parsons says; “Today, thanks to advances in health care, life expectancy, work expectancy, the

digital revolution and a host of other social and cultural factors, attitudes have shifted seismically. People in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond may still be working, starting their own businesses, returning to university, travelling, volunteering, running marathons, or sailing around the world. Age is just a number. Fifty is the new 30 - or so people say.” It is clear that, as an organization, National Seniors provides a huge array of information and services in areas such as advocacy for its core interest group, travel, legal, health, insurance, home and residential care, education, IT, entertainment, finance and many more. One such example is the recent seminar Transitioning to Retirement – the Financial Implications. This excellent event catered for preretirement members, as well as providing valuable tips and information to those who are already past retirement. For more information contact the New Farm NSA branch Secretary – Val Murphy on 0403 713 040 or Membership Officer - Irene Ryan on 3257 2317 or 0433 521 167.

Innov-ate with plants DR. OZGUR DEDEHAYIR (QUT BUSINESS SCHOOL)

A celebration of food and creativity is taking place at the Powerhouse on October 21. Pure Planta Food Fiesta celebrates dishes prepared with plants only (vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds) and absent of animal products (meat, milk, cheese, and yoghurt). But why plant-based food? Plant-based thinking is sparking new growth in the food production and consumption economy. Beyond Meat is an innovative Californian company produces plantbased meat. That’s right - a burger patty that looks and feels just like a traditional meat patty, but made entirely of plant-based ingredients. Ruchi, the founder of Vege Rama, said the demand for plant-based food had grown in Brisbane, since she opened her first restaurant seven years ago.

Deb Peralta of Dello Mano, has excited us with brownies for a decade. Deb said she decided to include a range of vegan desserts on Dello Mano’s vitrine, highlighting the demand for alternatives. The Pure Planta Food Fiesta aims to inspire all of us to step beyond our traditional boundaries, and to become more innovative by embracing the vibrant colours, textures, and flavours of plant produce that we often take for granted. Pure Planta is also hosting Brisbane’s first ever plant-based cooking competition. Why not enter the contest by submitting your best plant-based dish creation? Each submission will be judged by a panel of Brisbane’s culinary experts, and finalists selected to cook live at the Pure Planta Food Fiesta.

Funds for safer nights

Strum for a good cause

Lovers of fashion rejoice – the annual Pacific Fashion Festival, featuring some of Oceania’s finest textiles for a good cause, is to be hosted by Fortitude Valley venue Cloudland this month. Kicking off on October 28, the rich cultures and fashion of the Pacific Islands are on display with the hopes of generating large-scale interest in the region’s unique styles. The festival will serve as a platform for up-and-coming designers and businesses, while promising an entertaining experience supported by traditional performing arts. In the centre of the event stands empowerment – the organisers draw attention to gender and culture-based violence which still pervades many of the island communities with the hopes of overcoming these issues. Part of the profits of the event, created by the charity The Leniata Legacy, will go toward combating prejudice and violence in Papua New Guinea.

ChaplainWatch, the volunteer group which helps patrons of Brisbane’s entertainment precincts, will this month host a dazzling fundraiser event underneath the grand awning of Chinatown Mall to celebrate 16 years of serving the Brisbane public. Senior Chaplain of ChaplainWatch Lance Mergard said the focus had been on making it an enjoyable night. “There will be a range of raffles and we do our lucky balloons - it’s just a good night to get together and have an enjoyable time,” Mr Mergard said. The new NightSafe facility will also be showcased, with unique tours of the premises and an opportunity to learn how NightWatch Chaplains respond to, and care for, visitors of Brisbane’s entertainment precincts. “One is called NightWatch which is the project which looks after the entertainment precincts at night, so that’s fairly well known. Encompassed within that is NightSafe which is our rest and recovery facility.”

Music fans will have their hands and calendars full this month as the inaugural Bulimba Uke Fest at the Bulimba Golf Club on the 22nd joins the October line-up with a day of music, dance, art and of course food and drink. Brought to life by Brisbane musician Sandra Beynon who will perform with several other artists from a variety of musical genres, the festival is part of the yearly Children’s Week, highlighting the importance of children in the community. The Bulimba Uke Fest supports the Pyjama Foundation, a 2004-founded charity which focuses on offering children in foster care equal opportunities through education initiatives. Part of the festival’s profits will go towards the Foundation’s continued efforts. To give the festivities a competitive edge there are prizes for best dressed as well as a Uke Shred Competition hosted by Red Hill store Guitar Brothers.

Night 4 ChaplainWatch is on 19 October. Tickets are $55 and available from ChaplainWatch.com

The festival is set to include more than 50 acts, including a headline performance by The Jungle Giants and Fatman Scoop. Councillor Vicki Howard (on guitar above) said the Valley Fiesta would include food, street theatre, photography and displays as well as musical acts. “Council is committed to creating new lifestyle and leisure opportunities and Valley Fiesta has become one of the highlights of Brisbane’s social calendar.” Cr Howard said. Three stages will be set up in the Chinatown and Brunswick Street Malls from October 27-28.

With the question at every BBQ ‘How’s the market?’ Here’s a quick insight and some tips to quite easily find out yourself. Firstly, it’s less than 3 months till Christmas and the real estate market is starting to flex its Spring muscles. Over the last couple of years Brisbane hasn’t been performing to the seasonal script. Two years ago, we had the post-election pause when Malcolm Turnball narrowly won the Federal election and last year sales were reasonable but certainly not firing. This year however the market has a beat in its stride. Open home numbers are up, even rental enquiries are rising and sales numbers are up.
