A big topic of debate in council last week was shared facilities and naming of council assets.

When there are so many people sharing a space, someone will probably get left out.

Such was the case with the Gatton Showgrounds – as a multiuser facility, widening the track for the speedway was declined (story on page 5).

And naming the grandstand at Laidley Rec Reserve (see page 3) The Lady of the House ordered, “Get rid of your junk before you die, so I don’t have to clean up your accumulated mess!”

Cruel words! So with a sigh I started on some old tool boxes.

Down the bottom, under the rusty spanners and bent nails, was a surprise: a tattered grimy page from The Gatton Star, dated October ² WKLUW\ ÀYH \HDUV ROG and the year we came to live in Gatton.

There were the usual advertisements – cattle and horse sales, pigs and calf sales, agricultural property auctions, and mortgagee sales.

The names were mixed some still familiar, some not: Primac Association Limited,

It was recommended council leave it unnamed so no one else gets offended.

I’m glad council decided to open it to the community.

There are many parks, bridges, roads, and assets named for people who contributed to the area.

In generations to come it is a legacy they leave behind, and might be the only way they are remembered.

I agree with Cr Wilson that naming a facility or piece of infrastructure is a small token of appreciation to those Geoff Nottley Auctioneer, Bill Hallas, Metropolitan Permanent Building Society (who are they now?) and ‘Don’t be mistaken – there is only one WALLY CHAPPELL with one ofÀFH DQG KH LV WUDGLQJ DV : - CHAPPELL Real Estate Agent 39 Railway St. Gatton.’

Elders Real Estate told us that ‘the local market has shown a dramatic increase in FRQÀGHQFH DV LQWHUHVW UDWHV fall and other forms of investment look dangerous. …. we are directing buyers into the district from all over Australia and New Zealand.’

They listed houses from $35,000 to ‘prestige position, 17 acres fertile land, enormous modern home - $120,000.’

Gatton Real Estate fea-

who volunteer and contribute to the community.

Cr Milligan wanted to broaden the discussion to other council assets.

So readers, who are the heroes in our community who deserve this recognition?

tured strongly, with Warren Custance and George Hallas at the helm. They offered massive reductions on a 1 ha.

There was a low-set roomy Grantham home with three bedrooms in a quiet cul-desac street for $50,000 and a Laidley 4 bedroom bargain for $39,000.

There was a 2 ha rural block ‘overlooking Forest Hill with stately eucalypts and a dam’ for $19,000. There was ‘immaculate on 4 ha -a delight to inspect and a pleasure to live in. $55,000.’

The numbers may be different but the tone hasn’t changed.

Grandstand name gets nowhere

BY GRACE CRICHTON Should the grandstand at Laidley Recreation Reserve be named?

That’s the questioned that plagued councillors in last week’s ordinary meeting.

In September, the Laidley Recreation Reserve Committee wrote to council requesting to name the grandstand after a long-term committee and community member.

7KH UHFRPPHQGDWLRQ R൶FHUV brought to councillors was to decline the request, ‘not wanting LQDGYHUWHQWO\ R൵HQG RWKHU FRPPXnity and committee members.’

Councillors Chris Wilson and Jason Cook were in favour of naming facilities in recognition of volunteers who contribute.

“I personally think this is something we don’t do enough of,” Cr Wilson said.

“A lot of people in our communi-

ty do a lot of work.”

Cr Cook agreed and said potenWLDOO\ FDXVLQJ R൵HQFH ZDV QRW D reason to decline the request.

“Every decision we make in this chamber is going to upset somebody,” he said.

“I don’t believe that’s a reason to be knocking this back.”

Councillor Janice Holstein said she did not have a problem naming the grandstand but had some ‘reservations.’

“If we do decide to name it after somebody I think it should be an open process… not just a group sending in a letter,” she said.

Councillors decided to open the matter to community consultation and accept expressions of interest in naming the grandstands.

Councillors debated whether to name the grandstand at Laidley Recreation Reserve.

Wet weather and high temps mean weeds, weeds, everywhere After a summer of high rainfall and even higher temperatures, motorists will have noticed an abundance of Giant Rats Tail Grass (GRT) and Lantana growing in abundance on some of our region’s roads.

environmental conditions experienced throughout the summer, including above average rainfall, high humidity and steady temperatures have made ideal conditions for GRT and Lantana to thrive as the plant’s health reaches its peak and is more prevalent as a result.

Relief for Somerset primary producers

Gatton Showground turf wars

BY JACOB HAYDEN

A battle for the Gatton Showground has left the motoring community rattled.

River 94.9 Lockyer Valley Speedway (LVS) proposed a self-funded track widening to the Gatton Showground which was unanimously declined by the Lockyer Valley Regional Council (LVRC) in their ordinary council meeting on February 16.

The proposal sought to widen the track to 12m on the straights 17m on corners.

This was raised at a Showgrounds user group meeting in early December which was voted down by all users present before being brought to council.

Gatton Show Society president Kathryn Raymont said widening would cut into the grassed area used for other showground events.

“It’s hard because at the end of the day the showgrounds is a multi-purpose facility,” said

Ms Raymont.

“You’re never going to please everybody.”

LVS President Luke Frisina told The Independent the decision was ‘disheartening’.

“It’s a community thing, we want to bring the money in,” Mr Frisina said.

“The only way we can do that is to have a wider track that’s going to attract more people, more classes, more interstate travellers.”

Councillor Jason Cook said council already get noise complaints about the speedway.

“The problem you’ve got is the local people are going to be more upset,” Cr Cook said.

“I’ve got no problems with the work they’re doing, they’re fantastic, but in here in the showgrounds is not the spot for them.”

Following council’s decision, Mr Frisina announced his resignation from the position in a Facebook post.

Council CEO Ian Church said there are issues with wiring, the lighting is old and the gallery cannot get replacement parts.

Councillor Chris Wilson said the amount of money already spent upgrading and maintaining the ‘not very old’ building was ‘unbelievable.’

“That art gallery should not need to be touched, it’s not old,” he said.

Proposal to create a Marine Zone for public comment Pursuant to section 180 of the Transport Operations (Marine Operations) Regulation 2016, the Queensland Bulk Water Supply Authority, trading as Seqwater, has prepared an application for a Marine Zone over the entirety of Lake Wivenhoe. We are inviting submissions from public authorities, industry, interested groups and persons, and the public.

Why the proposed area should be a Marine Zone This Marine Zone application is proposed to address the ongoing public safety concerns at Lake Wivenhoe relating to regulation of recreation activities. The Marine Zone application will allow Seqwater to better manage water-based activities and support the preservation of water quality, environment and local amenity.

The proposed Marine Zone will extend from the dam wall separating Lake Wivenhoe and Lake Somerset (-27.115445, 152.556539), south to the Wivenhoe Dam wall (-27.394403, 152.609024), west along the Brisbane River to Lower Cressbrook (-27.096668, 152.473884) and includes all navigable tributaries to the lake.

For more detailed information about the Lake Wivenhoe Marine Zone, please scan the QR Code or visit https://yourseqwater.com.au/ wivenhoe-dam-marine-zone

Marine Zone requirements for vessels at Lake Wivenhoe Vessels accessing Lake Wivenhoe must only use low emission outboards/engines. This limits motors to four strokes or direct fuel-injected two strokes. A 6-knot speed limit is in place over the lake for powered vessels. Sailing and paddle craft are permitted.

Our young, local voices for politics

BY GRACE CRICHTON The newly formed Lockyer Youth Forum have things to say, and they plan on being heard.

Last Thursday was their second meeting and the dozen young adults were joined by Shadow Minister for Environment, the Great Barrier Reef, and Youth Sam O’Connor and Member for Lockyer Jim McDonald.

Alyssa Roser, 17, initiated the Lockyer Youth Forum after her time as the youth member for Lockyer in YMCA Queensland Youth Parliament 2021.

“The Lockyer Youth Forum acts as a ‘for youth, by youth’ organisation where we bridge the gap between our legislators, whether that be Lockyer Valley Regional Council we work alongside with, or Jim [McDonald], and the young people of the Lockyer Valley so we can create a generation of more politically aware and involved youth and also hopefully get some policy WKDW UHÀHFWV ZKDW WKH \RXQJ

people of this area value,” she said.

Alyssa, along with executive team members Audrey Wright and Sebastian Page, have a plan to get their voices heard.

“We want to write a letter to our candidates in the upcoming Federal Election,” Sebastian said.

ABOVE: Member for Lockyer Jim McDonald and Shadow Minister for Youth Sam O’Connor met with the Lockyer Youth Forum last week.

“We have multiple parties in the area…we want to talk to every one and understand what they are bringing forward to the next election for the youth.”

Discussions included mental health services, climate change, comprehensive sex education, and shortfalls of the foster system.

Will you represent in Youth Parliament?

Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington and Member for Lockyer Jim McDonald are encouraging young people to apply for the upcoming 2022 YMCA Queensland Youth Parliament.

Mrs Frecklington said this year’s youth parliament kicks off with a forum from

8-10 April in Brisbane at Parliament House.

“More than 90 young people aged 15 to 25 will be selected to discuss the issues facing our youth and develop legislation that they will debate later in the year,” she said.

“These young parliamentarians are selected to rep-

resent the 93 Queensland electorates based on their enthusiasm, ability to represent their communities and interest and passion for issues affecting Queensland. ”Four Indigenous members will also be selected to participate.

“These types of opportunities are so important

for our young people so we can encourage them to get involved and learn more about how they can initiate change to tackle issues and help improve our communities.

Elaine and Peter’s life on the land If rain is lucky on your wedding day, Elaine and Peter Horrocks were blessed from the start.

It stormed on January 15, 1972 when the Lockyer Valley locals married at Newtown Methodist Church, Toowoomba.

Elaine and Peter celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary with their children and grandchildren last month.

Peter grew up on East Egypt Road, ‘over the other side of the hill’ to the Mt Whitestone property they KDYH FDOOHG KRPH IRU ¿IW\ years.

He left school at 13 years old.

“And I didn’t stop to shut the gate either on the last day when I walked out,” Peter said.

He worked on the family farm, driving cattle on horseback to saleyards in Gatton, Tenthill, and Laidley, before he bought his own property in 1971.

Peter has spent his life on horseback, driving cattle through the hills that border the Lockyer Valley.

Elaine grew up in Sandy Creek, Grantham.

She went to Grantham school then Lockyer District High School before starting a long career as a nurse.

They raised their three sons on the Mt Whitestone farm, cropping and running cattle.

“We grew pumpkins and

watermelons,” Elaine said.

“We tried growing rockmelons but that didn’t work.”

Like their dad, the boys learnt to ride young.

“By the time they were six weeks old they’d been on a horse and they were all riding by the time they were three,” Elaine said.

Peter worked for other farmers in the valley too, harvesting crops or mustering.

“I pick potatoes and pumpkins and onions around the area,” Peter said.

When cattle prices slumped Peter found what work he could.

“It would have been early

Peter enjoyed horse sports, particularly camp draft.

He was Red Coat at the Gatton Show and races for 20 years.

Citizen scientists take part in platypus study

BY JACOB HAYDEN

Wildlife carers, Lockyer Valley residents and landholders along Laidley Creek attended a platypus workshop held on Sunday February 20.

Healthy Land & Water, the International Fund for Animal Welfare and Great Eastern Ranges are working with the Lockyer Valley community to survey the elusive animal.

HLW Principal Scientist and GER Board Member Liz Gould said the workshop aimed to raise community awareness and understanding of platypus and their habitat.

“There’s lots of things that platypus tell us about how to improve the health of our waterways,” Ms Gould said.

“We want to build people’s participation in recording platypus when they see them, a bit of a citizen science sort of thing.”

Landholders along Laidley Creek are encouraged to collect samples for a platypus survey project.

Residents are welcomed to report platypus sightings to the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland’s PlatypusWatch network to help

pinpoint survey locations.

Workshop attendees were shown how to collect samples from Laidley Creek to test for platypus DNA.

Laidley RSL pays homage to deceased members The Laidley RSL Sub Branch have come up with a touching way to remember their late comrades.

The brainchild of Col Johnston and Mark Ramsay, a memorial wall containing

photographs of departed comrades has been unveiled in their headquarters.

Sub Branch President Tom Barton said it was a wonderful way to remember those who had supported the

organisation in the past.

“We have an intriguing mix of men and women whose military service deserves to be honoured,” he said.

“Among them was a member of the Royal New

Zealand Airforce, the British Army and the Royal Navy.

“Between them were an Order of Australia, a Member of the British Empire (MBE) and a winner of the Military Medal in WWII.”

Somerset Regional Council have released its draft master plan for the long-term development of Mount Glen Rock.

It features facilities for hikers, mountain bike riders, and rock climbers.

Somerset Regional Council Mayor and Economic Development and Tourism Advisory Committee Chairperson Graeme Lehmann wants to ensure that the community can provide feedback on the development.

“It’s essential for the community to have their say on the development so that we can ensure it meets their needs now and into the future,” he said.

“We are aiming to provide a development WKDW EHQHÀWV WKH UHJLRQ recreationally, socially and economically while

ensuring that it is not at the expense of Glen Rock’s natural assets.”

Glen Rock Steering Committee member Bob Whalley said a development of this nature is not without its challenges and concerns.

“Council invites all residents and outdoor recreation enthusiasts to read the draft Master Plan and complete the ‘Have Your Say’ survey,” Cr Whalley said.

“We will also be holding a Community Information Evening at the Somerset Civic Centre on Thursday 10 March, and residents are encouraged to submit their questions in advance so we can address any potential concerns on the night.”

Overseas workers looking at Lockyer

Lockyer Valley Growers Inc. president Michael Sippel said growers are receiving a large volume of enquiries from overseas workers eager to come to Australia.

“Talking to [the growers], there’s been a lot of international enquiry,” he said.

“People from various countries are looking to come out here to work.”

While most growers are planting with their core labour crew at the moment, Mr Sippel said they will have a clearer picture come harvest seasons.

The Valley Rugby Union Club held its club launch on Sunday February 13.

New Union Club off to a great start

The Valley Rugby Union Club held its club launch on February 13, inviting players, parents, supporters and sponsors to Hugh Courtney Oval.

Club President Thomas

Kent said the club formed because there was no junior club for rugby union in the region.

“We’ve done a bit of rugby union at the school where we teach and parents

are always asking about clubs,” Mr Kent said.

“We’ve always had to send them to Toowoomba or to Ipswich or Brisbane and we just felt there was a gap there.

“Instead of waiting, hoping someone would do it, we thought let’s use some of the momentum we’ve got the past few years doing school rugby to branch out to the rest of the

community.”

The club has one team starting this year and have had interest in other age groups but not quite enough for full teams.

Mr Kent said that com-

munity support has been ‘really good’ with several sponsors coming on board.

“We’re excited to get a rugby footprint in the Lockyer Valley,” Mr Kent said.

“We’re very proud, as parents, for him to be given this opportunity,” Mr Duncan said.

“His work ethic is very high.”

Alex and his family are hoping to attract local business sponsorship to help him get to Hawaii at the end of the year.

“We’re going to camp there, we do training, and then we play games,” Alex said.

Alex has been playing futsal for two years and soccer for three to four years.

“I like team sports because it means we are all responsible,” Alex said.

“I really enjoy playing, playing with my teammates, and being physical.”

BY GRACE CRICHTON A hard-working young futsal player has been chosen to play at an international level.

Alexander Duncan, 11, played in the Southwest Queensland Highlanders U/10 team with fellow Lockyer player Fraser Allison at the Australian Futsal Association National Titles in January and scored an invitation to represent Australia in Hawaii.

The invitation came a few days after the tournament and was met with ‘excitement and a bit of disbelief’ from the player and his family.

Father Steve Duncan said the Alex’s invitation was a ‘tremen-
