TO THE EDITOR 

Volunteer firies seek financial support 

Volunteer Rural Fire Brigades 

are a vital service in communities 

such as ours. 

There are more than 36,000 

volunteer firefighters across 

Queensland alone, men 

and women willing to drop 

everything and put themselves 

in danger to protect our homes 

and businesses from fire. 

Apart from the Government’s 

supply of vehicles and their 

maintenance, many country 

and rural fire brigades across 

Australia are largely selffunded, 

so that each volunteer 

brigade relies mostly on private 

donations and fundraisers 

to purchase even their basic 

essential equipment. 

There are brigades throughout

Queensland using private 

vehicles and/or outdated, 

patched up or improvised 

equipment in order to serve their 

communities. 

Volunteer firefighters Mark 

Boddington and Paul Outen of 

the Closeburn Volunteer Brigade 

decided this shortfall needed to 

be resolved. 

Together with legal advisor 

Kerrin Andersen, whose 

husband Chris is a member of 

the Dayboro Volunteer Brigade, 

they have spent the past year 

jumping through the legal 

administrative hoops of setting 

up a charity to directly address 

this issue. 

Unlike other better known 

charities whose donations are 

Farmers create employment 

At a recent public meeting 

in Oakey, farmers were condemned 

for not employing onfarm 

labour, therefore, not creating 

any jobs in comparison to 

mining. 

This perception is wrong. Every 

product sold off a farm creates 

flow-on employment.

Political candidates 

Watching the recent State 

election and the increasing dissatisfaction 

of regional voters 

around the State that are noticeably 

giving their votes to the One 

Nation Party, it was interesting 

to see that even though there is 

a growing number of One Nation 

supporters, largely due, I 

suspect, to an accruing loyalty 

for Pauline Hanson herself, that 

her party was unsuccessful in 

converting this shift in votes to 

actual seats in Parliament. 

After witnessing One Nation 

candidate Frank Ashman 

stumble and balk with obvious 

ignorance, unable to answer relative 

questions repeatedly asked, 

about how he would best represent 

Oakey on several important 

issues, like the water contamination, 

local business, housing and 

real estate, I can see why One 

Nation struggles to secure seats. 

Mr Ashman stated he wanted 

to address drug problems in the 

area. 

When challenged on the fact 

that by taking immediate jobs 

out of the area that are providing 

local families with financial security 

and community stability, 

he would only be adding to the 

problem. 

I was appalled by his reply “a 

good person comes from a good 

family upbringing.” 

A response I believe, to be a 

ridiculously misinformed and 

insensitive retort to the issue of 

drugs, alluding, that if you are 

somebody that has been affected 

by drugs that you are a bad 

person from a poor family upbringing. 

A response that understandably 

invoked a reaction of personal 

emotions from locals. 

This forum together with One 

Nation’s inability to secure any 

electorates has highlighted several 

things for me. 

Men's Shed 

A show of interest meeting 

with a view to establishing a 

Men’s Shed/Community Shed 

in Crows Nest will be held at the 

Crows Nest Community Centre 

at 2pm on Thursday, December 

7. 

Men’s Sheds are community-based, 

non-commercial organisations 

that address social 

inclusion, participation and 

community capacity building.

SHOES • CLOTHING • HANDBAGS • HATS • JEWELLERY 

Firstly, that Pauline Hanson 

and her One Nation Party need 

to more thoroughly screen their 

prospective candidates in an effort 

to providing representatives 

who are better informed, have 

extensive knowledge of local 

and surrounding issues, possess 

the ability and willingness to 

genuinely and unselfishly serve 

all of the constituents they stand 

to represent and that these candidates 

permanently live in the 

electorate for which they stand, 

not just visit for a week-end here 

and there as it suits. 

For your information Mr 

Ashman, there are plenty of upstanding 

community members 

throughout our nation, who have 

raised their families instilling 

strong family morals, Christian 

beliefs and high community values 

that for many reasons have 

become vulnerable and have 

succumbed to the evil predators 

spreading the scourge of drugs. 

Drug abuse is not just specific 

to the youth in our communities 

and it is not always because of 

neglect or reckless behaviour. 

Drugs can affect anyone and 

for a range of reasons, despair 

and helplessness due to drought, 

job losses, financial stress, mental 

illness to mention a few. 

Few of us have the luxury of 

being Frank Ashman with bucket 

loads of money and not a care 

in the world. 

Perhaps if your fanaticism of 

shutting down the New Acland 

Mine wasn’t the only agenda 

pushing your political aspirations, 

you could become better 

informed about the real issues 

that are affecting the many communities 

in the Condamine electorate.

Men’s Shed gives a man that safe 

and busy environment where he 

can find many of these things in 

an atmosphere of old-fashioned 

mateship. 

And, importantly, there is no 

pressure. Men can just come and 

have a yarn and a cuppa if that is 

all they are looking for. 

Come along, we need your 

support. - Peter Long 0423 276

Changes to Cooyar postal agency arrangements 

By MILES NOLLER 

The postal service in the town of Cooyar has 

undergone dramatic change with the closure of 

the local Australia Post agency. 

From last Friday, December 1, a mail contractor 

has been engaged to collect Cooyar mail 

from Yarraman, and deliver it to the 51 or so 

households in Cooyar. 

This is a three-day a week service. 

A problem has been that no household has 

ever had a mailbox. Residents have always 

picked up their mail from the local Post Office 

or agency. 

A spokesman for Australia Post said if there 

is no mailbox to deliver to, people would have 

to pick up their mail from Yarraman. 

However, the spokesman said Australia Post 

is offering Cooyar residents a six months mail 

redirection service at no cost. 

It is understood that the operators of the Cooyar 

store which had the postal agency, decided 

they no longer wanted the agency. 

Local community leaders met with Australia 

Post representatives from Brisbane for an alternative 

post box/agency arrangement, but agreement 

could not be reached. 

Paul Barron and other executive members of 

the Cooyar Agricultural and Pastoral Society 

met with the representative and proposed that 

post boxes be installed at the local hall. 

Mr Barron said Australia Post would not contribute 

anything to the cost of these mail boxes. 

A problem for residents of both Cooyar town, 

and the district, is that they will have to drive 

to Yarraman, about 30km away, to pick-up a 

registered mail item or package that requires a 

signature. For some, that could be 40km away. 

Food festival and markets replace Block Party 

The December 16 Crave Food 

Festival is a Christmas edition 

and will be a collaboration between 

the Crave Food Festival 

and Highfields Village Market. 

As you would be aware 

the Highfields Block Party was 

an event that had incredible 

community involvement and 

celebrated all things Highfields. 

The cancellation of the Block 

Party this year left organisations 

without the opportunity for major 

fundraising, not to mention 

a disappointed Highfields community 

who flocked to this event 

each year.

All aspects of garden maintenance available including: hedging, lawn mowing, 

garden make overs, commercial/residential, bobcat/dingo hire, wholesale nursery

hopefully fill the gap.

the event but it is so much more

Student pursues career in journalism 

Year 10 student Quinn Macdonald 

has just finished his final 

year of schooling at Crows Nest 

State School and will be attending 

year 11 at Harristown State 

Highschool. 

Quinn, pictured, participated 

in work experience at the High 

Country Herald. 

This is the second time Quinn 

has completed work experience 

at the Herald this year and once 

again he said he thoroughly enjoyed 

his time, as he found all 

the staff helpful and knowledgeable. 

He has learned lots of new 

skills and improved his journalistic 

writing and photography 

skills essential to the field. This 

time Quinn’s duties included editing 

of the newspaper, learning 

about and writing a task on the 

evolution of print media, writing 

an article on the Crow’s Nest 

State School awards evening, 

using In Design to help prepare 

the newspaper and helping find 

events to put into the planner.

The Toowoomba not-for-profit 

organisation YellowBridge 

will again fill 300 yellow buckets 

with gourmet Christmas 

goodies and gift them to local 

people who need it most. 

The Yellow Bucket Appeal 

is celebrating its third year of 

bringing joy to people who either 

live alone, have a disability 

or need to know that someone 

cares. 

Penny Hamilton, Yellow- 

Bridge QLD chief executive officer 

said Christmas was meant 

to be a special time of the year 

filled with love and happiness. 

“Sadly, this is not the case 

for some people who will spend 

Christmas alone or are unable to 

afford extra special food to make 

it a memorable day for them and 

their family,” she said.

YellowBridge returns with Christmas buckets for the needy 

Toowoomba 

“This year our aim is to fill 

and deliver 300 buckets with edible 

joy.” 

Toowoomba accounting firm 

McConachie Stedman has returned 

as the appeal’s major 

sponsor. 

“We loved being in the Appeal 

last year and helping Yellow- 

Bridge to reach their target of 

buckets filled,” Director Amanda 

Roberts said. 

“Helping local people by supporting 

the Yellow Bucket Appeal 

is a wonderful way for us 

to share the true spirit of Christmas.” 

“We are really pleased to partner 

with YellowBridge again and 

our generous staff are already 

getting together their donations 

in an effort to beat last year’s 

contribution of 30 buckets.” 

Donations will be packaged 

in to the yellow bucket hampers 

and hand delivered by Yellow- 

Bridge and its industry partners 

to people who are known to be 

in most need. 

Donations can be delivered to 

YellowBridge, 2a Station Street, 

or 46 Hill Street, Toowoomba, 

by December 15.

Heritage appoints new chief financial officer 

Heritage Bank has announced 

the appointment of 

Paul Williams to the Chief 

Financial Officer role on a permanent 

basis. 

Mr Williams has been with 

Heritage Bank since 2000, initially 

as Treasurer and more 

recently as Chief Strategy and 

Investment Officer. 

He has been acting as interim 

CFO for the past 12 months, 

while the incumbent Mr Peter 

Cleary has dealt with ongoing 

health issues. 

Mr Cleary has now stepped 

down from the CFO role and 

taken up a position as Special 

Adviser to the CEO. 

Mr Peter Lock said he was 

delighted to announce that Mr 

Williams had accepted the new 

role.Paul’s commitment, passion 

and energy for our business 

is outstanding,” Mr Lock 

said. 

"As CFO, Paul will have 

responsibility for Finance, 

Treasury, Strategy and our new 

Business Intelligence capabilities. 

"We are excited to announce 

Paul’s position and to recognise 

the contribution he has 

made to Heritage over the 

years in his Treasury and Strategy 

roles. 

“Combining Paul’s previous 

experience and duties with that 

of the CFO will make this a 

seamless transition. 

"This is a demanding and 

complex role. 

“I’m sure Paul will continue 

to thrive in the position, and 

deliver outstanding results for 

Heitage.” 

Before joining Heritage, 

Mr Williams held a number 

of Treasury roles at Bank of 

Queensland and before that 

property analyst roles in Sydney 

and Durban, South Africa. 

Mr Lock also applauded the 

contribution that Peter Cleary 

had made during his long career 

at Heritage. 

"I want to thank Peter for 

his commitment, guidance and 

tireless effort as our CFO. 

"We wish him all the best as 

he continues in his recovery 

journey, and we’re delighted 

that he will remain at Heritage 

in his new role and we will 

continue to benefit from his 

expertise and presence.”

Thank You!!! 

To the voters of Condamine for their support 

last Saturday, I thank you. 

From a One Nation viewpoint we are elated with our 

result. 

We were lightly staffed, poorly funded, late starters, 

but determined! 

Our stand to protect and preserve extremely 

valuable agricultural land and its water has been 

acknowledged; also landowners rights have been 

reinforced ensuring viable agricultural enterprises 

remain intact. Our ideals have impacted on the major 

parties with a sympathetic swing.

The Glennie School Ethos 

CHRISTIAN COMMENT 

Cricket is a funny game, you 

can bowl all day and beat the 

batsmen on many occasions but 

not get a wicket just for the next 

bowler to come and bowl an average 

delivery but gets the wicket. 

It is frustrating when you don't 

always get the reward you expected. 

The reality is that you have to 

move on and bowl the next ball. 

Moving on is an important step 

in life whether on the sporting 

field or in life situations. 

You can't safely move forward 

while looking in the rear mirror. 

As we mature we find it easier 

to walk away from certain circumstances 

and let it go through to the 

keeper. 

Someone wrote: “When we 

stop expecting life to be perfect, 

for people to be the best they can 

be, we are no longer holding ourselves 

down with things that are 

out of our control, we have grown 

and matured enough to appreciate 

both life and the people in our 

lives for what and who they are.” 

Paul also knew the importance 

of moving on and being focused

Through to the keeper 

on his goal and his purpose. 

He acknowledges his past and 

the way it influenced him but he 

knows that he needs to let go in 

order to go forward. 

Philippians 3:12-14 ESV Not 

that I have already obtained this or 

am already perfect, but I press on 

to make it my own, because Christ 

Jesus has made me his own. 

Brothers, I do not consider 

that I have made it my own. But

straining forward to what lies 

Ear Piercing 

Celebrations included an address 

by Mrs Elizabeth Gillam, 

Chair of Council, and The Right 

Reverend Cameron Venables, 

Bishop of the Western Region 

gave the blessing. 

Guest speaker at the Middle 

and Senior Years celebration was 

Professor Helen Chenery, Executive 

Dean of the Faculty of 

Health Sciences and Medicine at 

Bond University. 

All three special guests took 

part in presenting prizes. 

In her address, Mrs Cohen 

talked about the importance of 

the core values of Respect, Integrity, 

Compassion and Courage 

and the role that these play in the 

lives of the Glennie community 

every day in all they do. 

She also launched the new 

Strategic Plan, which is made up 

of five pillars: Empowered Girls, 

Enriched Learning, Passionate 

Staff, Connected Community 

and Sustainable Operations. 

She introduced the Glennie 

theme for 2018: Be Like a Girl, 

in line with the School’s motto of 

Be All She Can Be. 

She encouraged the students to 

embrace being female and to see 

it as being an advantage, and not 

a barrier, in being anything they 

can be. 

She explained that to be like 

a girl means to be feminine yet 

strong, compassionate yet firm, 

nurturing yet challenging, gracious 

yet competitive, thoughtful 

yet ambitious, respectful yet respected, 

helpful yet independent

FARMING 

Avocado prices unlikely to fall as crop forecast cut 

An early start to the storm 

season and a lower than expected 

fruit set means Australia is 

unlikely to hit its original avocado 

production target for 2017- 

18. 

Prices for avocados look set 

to be maintained as a result. 

Sharing in the prospects for 

lower production and good prices 

are avocado producers north 

of Toowoomba, in Cabarlah, 

Hampton, Ravensbourne, Mt 

Binga and Blackbutt.

Avocados Australia CEO 

John Tyas said, based on the 

early flowering, there were early 

forecasts that up to 75,000 

tonnes of fruit could be harvested 

throughout 2017-18 but 

this was looking increasingly 

unlikely. 

“Now that orchards have 

been through the fruit set period, 

some regions are reporting 

poorer fruit set than was expected, 

despite a very good flowering 

initially,” Mr Tyas said. 

“Added to this, we have already 

had hail storms in avocado 

growing regions in North 

Queensland and Northern New 

South Wales, plus repeated severe 

spring storms in Central 

Queensland. 

“Obviously, we still have 

the summer storm season and 

the usual hot dry conditions in 

southern areas to come as well.” 

Mr Tyas, pictured, said the 

situation was compounded for 

the local market by a potential 

50 per cent reduction in the 

New Zealand crop. 

“New Zealand supplements 

our Australian supply during 

spring and summer, so although 

Australia’s supply forecast for 

the year is still up, New Zealand’s 

‘off-year’ means total 

supplies are likely to be similar 

to last year,” he said. 

“I’d expect supply to be 

steady during the next couple of 

months and fruit could be a bit 

short in the first quarter of 2018. 

Mr Tyas said that as for prices, 

they are determined by supply 

and demand, and it has to be 

said Australian demand for avocados 

continues to grow. 

“The total supply forecast 

for this year, Australia and NZ 

combined, doesn’t suggest there 

will be anything that looks like 

a glut of fruit, so I wouldn’t expect 

to see any major price discounting.”

Adoption of Temporary Local Planning Instrument 01/2017 

(Dual Occupancy) 

Notice is hereby given under the Sustainable Planning Act 2009 that on 21 November 2017, 

Toowoomba Regional Council adopted the Temporary Local Planning Instrument 01/2017 

(Dual Occupancy) (TLPI 01/2017). 

The TLPI 01/2017 will commence on 4 December 2017. The TLPI 01/2017 will cease to have 

effect on 4 December 2018 or when proposed Toowoomba Regional Planning Scheme 

Amendment No.16 comes into effect, whichever occurs first. 

The purpose of Temporary Local Planning Instrument 01/2017 (Dual Occupancy) is to 

ensure that development which is a dual occupancy creates pleasant, safe and attractive 

living environments while facilitating a range of housing types that sensitively blend with 

existing streetscapes and neighbourhoods and facilitate increased population within 

proximity to major centres. 

The TLPI applies to the whole of the Toowoomba Regional Council planning scheme area. 

A copy of TLPI 01/2017 is available for viewing on the Toowoomba Regional Council 

website, www.tr.qld.gov.au from 4 December 2017 and for inspection and purchase at 

Council’s customer service centres located at:
