SUNDAY marked the end of the first official week of Jumpers and Jazz with Palmerin Street hosting the Yarnbombed Bicycle Parade. The music took a back seat for a while to allow little kids a chance to shine. They are now well and truly in the thick of Jumpers and Jazz in July 2015.

THE Southern Downs has had some notable allocations in this year’s Queensland budget, but Mayor Peter Blundell is not convinced. Warwick will receive $9.6 million towards the redevelopment of the East Warwick power substation, $2 million over two years will go towards upgrading the Hermitage Research Facility, and Stanthorpe will receive a $1 million upgrade for the Glen Niven Dam. Although there were cash injections into the area, Mayor Blundell believes there could have been more. “While it was very pleasing to see the $9.6 million allocated for the substation upgrade, the only other infrastructure project to receive recognition was Glen Niven Dam. There are other infrastructure projects that would benefit this community significantly, for instance a reinstatement of funding arrangements by the State Government of the Smaller Communities Assistance Program would allow council to significantly upgrade and improve water and wastewater infrastructure,” he said. “We would also like to see funding for the extension of the Warwick Drag Strip, and we would certainly support funding being allocated for other infrastructure including the upgrading of the Warwick Hospital.” Mayor Blundell is most interested in how the $19 million for public housing will be spent.
