In a year like no other, I am delighted to share some cheer in

this Christmas season.

It is a time to celebrate this magical season in our own special

way. Dressing up, singing carols and enjoying good cheer is a

fitting way to share the joy of the season. I hope you get what

you wish for and delight in the surprises of Christmas morning.

We’re blessed to live in a caring community. Despite the

challenges we face, we can still celebrate our good fortune.

As many carols tell us, it is also a season for giving and sharing.

As a community, let’s look out for one another, particularly those

who might need a helping hand during this time.

On behalf of my fellow Councillors and the team at Toowoomba

Region, I wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas and good

wishes for 2021.

Revocation of Afghanistan

meritorious citation

I am not an alarmist by nature. I am a proud

Australian veteran of 16 years of service, including

combat in Afghanistan.

It was insulting enough to suffer the Chief of

Defence Force threatening to write to the Governor

General to remove the Meritorious Unit Citation

from every Special Operations soldier who had

served in Afghanistan between April 2007 and

December 2013.

This threat has done untold psychological and

emotional damage to veterans and their families. –

those living and deceased. It has inevitably led to a

heightened instance of suicide or contemplation of

such a final act in our veteran community.

I have expressed publicly, on behalf of veterans,

my anger and anguish at such a callous response

to the Brereton Report, which the Prime Minister

acknowledged he had not read. This threat has

opened old wounds in a way that politicians,

Defence hierarchy and civilians my not understand.

It is not clear if this threat had been contemplated

months before the release of the Brereton Report.

The Letters Patent providing awards for

Meritorious Unit Citation, not individuals but to a

unit, were counter signed by then Prime Minister

Bob Hawke. Those Letters Patent did not provide

any powers to revoke the citation from a unit,

namely Special Forces 66.

It transpires that the response by General

Campbell to the report via the threat to write to the

Governor General was not spontaneous.

Sadly, the present Prime Minister appears

complicit in all of this because, well before the

release of the report, and, presumably. anyone’s

ability to read it, changes were made to Letters

Patent, dated July 13, 2020.

The Brereton Report was released on July 13,

2020, five months after the Prime Minister’s

changes to revoke the citation from an entire unit,

not the revoking of the right to wear, but total

revocation of the citation - innocent and guilty

alike.

This extreme change, without any public

announcement or public debate and without

scrutiny and, I presume, without any endorsement

Due respects to the council water chairperson,

eleven years ago the dams were down to below 10

per cent. Why wasn’t this addressed then instead

of building a pipeline from Wivenhoe to pump water

at a very high cost to ratepayers.

When the dams are so low why isn’t the council

moving machinery in to remove sediment from the

sides and bottom, thus increasing the volume at

very little cost.

from the Parliament of Australia, has been

countersigned by the Australian Prime Minster

Scott Morrison - five months before the release of

the report.

In other words, the psychological, emotional

and traumatic damage to Australia’s service men

and women have been planned months in advance

of the report’s release, a report that is still to be

investigated and tested.

I have said before that goes to the heart of

our constitutional and democratic rights - the

constitutional obligation compromised by the

threat to the morale of those serving at present, to

those who have served, and those a government

would hope to recruit to serve.

The simple threat to our democratic fabric

derives from the denial of presumption of

innocence by so-called credible information that

has not been tested in a court of law.

I hereby call upon the Prime Minster tO explain

his actions to change the Letters Patent months

prior to the release of the Brereton Report. Further,

to explain what recommendations were provided

to him and by whom, and to produce those

documents for review.

I call upon the parliamentarians, as our elected

representatives, to challenge why these actions

were allowed to occur. How, and without any

accompanying plans of action to support our

veterans and their families who have been gravely

impacted by the actions of our Prime Minister and

his senior Defence leaders.

I further demand, on behalf of all veterans, an

apology from the Prime Minister, the Minister for

Veteran Affairs, the Chief of Defence Forces, and

the Chief of Army for the reckless and calculated

damage that has been done.

The over 65,000 and counting Australians who

have joined our petition to “Maintain the Memory

of the Meritorious Many” at voiceofaveteran.

org deserve a response. I suspect that millions of

others, if they knew of the background to all of this

debacle, would feel our disgust similarly. - Heston

Russell, former Special Forces Commando

Move to a permanent water restriction, no watering

of lawns under any circumstance and also

restrict, very heavily, bore water users because

lowering the water table also lowers the water

feeding from mountain springs.

Finally, constructing water recycling plants

must be made an urgent recommendation. - Barry

Williams, Highfields

Death in custody under investigation

The Ethical Standards Command is investigating

the death of a man and injury to a police dog

and his handler at Mount Lofty.

Preliminary information indicates police were

called to a Warana Avenue address at around

6.50pm following reports of a break and enter on

Sunday, December 13.

A Senior Constable, 32, from the Darling

Downs Dog Squad was one of the first officers on

the scene along with police dog Turbo where they

located a 31-year-old Toowoomba City man, allegedly

involved in the break and enter.

The man allegedly lunged at the handler with a

pair of scissors resulting in a laceration to his face

and minor stab wound to his upper body.

The man then proceeded to stab police dog Turbo

multiple times in the chest.

The handler was able to deploy a taser to the

man, who was then arrested by nearby officers.

The man was treated at the scene and while being

transported to hospital had a medical episode.

CPR was started, however, the man was pronounced

dead at 8pm at St Vincent’s Hospital.

Police Dog Turbo was transported to a local vet

where he underwent surgery and has now recovered.

The handler received treatment for minor

stab wounds.The State Coroner has been advised

and the Crime and Corruption Commission will

provide independent oversight of the Ethical Standards

Command investigation.

Approved at Toowoomba Regional

“We’re 100 per cent focused

TRC Chair of Planning and

the new Environment Advisory

for the council and the environment.

“The new committee would

provide advice on matters relating

to the natural environment

and sustainability of the region,”

Cr O’Hara Sullivan.

“Councillors originally requested

a diverse and experienced

committee membership,

and the broad range of our community

members certainly fit the

bill.

and tourism.

seeks to do just that.

“In setting these incentives,

we did a lot of benchmarking

against other councils and believe

what we have is quite an

attractive proposition, particularly

to those in regional towns.

“This policy encourages the

creation of new industrial lots

experienced as a result of the

pandemic.”

CAPPED DISCOUNT

Under the policy there will be

Tobruk Memorial Drive lookout opens


has officially opened the new

Tobruk Memorial Drive Lookout

with the aim of boosting local

tourism.

Replacing the Bob Dodd

Lookout, the new construction

is the results of partnership

between the council and the

Queensland Government.

Mayor Paul Antonio said the

project was delivered with the

help of the State Government’s

Building our Regions program.

“The lookout project is encompassed

in the Toowoomba

Escarpment Parks upgrades

that is helping unlock the potential

for nature-based outdoor

recreation facilities and

increase sports tourism across

the Toowoomba Escarpment

Parks,” he said.

“This has so much potential in

the next 20 to 30 years.”

Being embodied in the council’s

$7.4 million escarpment

parks upgrade project, the new

lookout was costed at $1.18 million.

The Building our Regions

Program, a Queensland Government

initiative, has put forward

$365 million to support local

government infrastructure projects

to stimulate economic development

and create jobs.

“The escarpment parks upgrades

project involves multiple

projects with works occurring

across a three-year design and

construction timeframe from

the end of 2019 to the end of

2022,”Cor Antonio said.

“We know there are 3 million

people living in South East

Queensland right now as we

speak. By 2041, there will be

5-and-a-half million people who

will be within an hour and a half

of our beautiful escarpment.

“That is opportunity for us.”

Cr Antonio said the Toowoomba

escarpments could be

the starting point for tourism for

the west. “We have an airport

here now, but we can become

a centre for tourism attracting

tourist here who will ultimately

go west and provide economic

benefit to many small communities

in our area,” he said.

He said the escarpment upgrades

would see to the development

of walking trails and the

emergence of significant indigenous

historical stories.

Yuggarapul descendant Margaret

McCarthy-Pegler who was

invited to cut the ribbon to open

the new lookout said being involved

with the ceremony was a

fantastic experience.

recognition the council has

shown today,” she said. - Sean

Highfields Discount Drug

Store celebrates 15 years

Highfields Discount Drug

Store owners Roslyn and Michael

Zuyderwyk celebrated

their 15th anniversary on

Wednesday, December 16.

The couple moved to Highfields

with their young family

when they started the pharmacy.

“It feels like it has crept up

quickly but, at the same time, it

seems like we have been doing

it for quite a lot of years,” Mrs

Zuyderwyk said.

“We started over at the other

shop in the same complex for

four years before we moved to

where we are now.

“Upon moving here, we have

been able to expand and innovate.

“We expanded five years ago

which is when we got the Rowa

Vmax dispensary robot which

helps with storage and dispensing

medication.

“When we started in pharmacy,

we were just dispensing

drugs, but now we do immunisations,

check peoples’ blood pressure

and glucose monitoring and

we have a baby nurse. There are

so many different facets to the

business these days.

“It used to be a little community

thing but now it has turned

into something for everyone.”

Mrs Zuyderwyk said they

only had two staff when they

started the Highfields Discount

Drugs Store.

“Now we have 17 staff because

Michael is focused on customer

service.

“The more staff you have the

more you can make sure the customers

are looked after.”

Mr Zuyderwyk said it felt like

the time had gone quickly for

him.

“It has been a privilege to get

to know a lot of the community

members in Highfields,” he said.

Water tank rebate increase

UPDATED TO ALLOW MORE ACCESS


has added an extra $50,000 to

the water tank rebate scheme to

fund growing demand.

Finance and Business Strategy

Chair Cr Geoff McDonald

said the council had decided to

approve an additional $50,000

allocation for this financial year.

“The scheme has proved

very popular with applications

received from residents

and commercial businesses

throughout the Toowoomba

Region,” Cr McDonald said.

“The eligibility for the rebate

was updated in September to

allow more residents to access

the scheme, and the response has

been overwhelming.

“Since July 1, 2020, the

scheme has seen 102 successful

applications at a cost to council

of $42,000.”

Cr McDonald said the

scheme’s criteria allowed water

tanks of at least 5000 litres

capacity to be retrofitted to

existing houses and commercial

properties.

“A rebate of $300 for a 5000

litre tank and $500 for a 10,000

litre tank per eligible property is

available through the scheme, Cr

McDonald said.

Cr McDONALD

Eligibility updated

“To be eligible for the rebate,

properties are to be connected

to a council reticulated water

supply network. However, it is

up to the applicant as to whether

the tank is plumbed into the

premises.

“There is a maximum of one

application per existing house or

commercial property connected

to a council water network.

“The scheme will remain

open until June 30, 2021 or until

the supplementary budget of

$50,000 is spent.

Cr VONHOFF

Relieves pressure

“The rebate is applied to a

reduction to water rate, or rates

notice in the next notice cycle

after approval of the application.

TRC Water and Waste Chair

Cr Rebecca Vonhoff said water

tanks assist in reducing total

demand on council’s water

supply network.

“The rebate scheme helps

capture and use rainwater for

homes and businesses and

relieves pressure on supplies of

drinking water, particularly in

regional areas,” Cr Vonhoff said.

Kingsthorpe festive cheer

Santa visited Kingsthorpe last

week, spreading festive cheer

as the Kingsthorpe and District

Progress Association announced

the winners and runners-up of its

Christmas light competition.

The association holds its Santa

in the Park event but, due to restrictions,

it had to change plans

for its seasonal celebrations.

On Sunday, December 13,

Santa did the rounds, delivering

the prizes to the winners and the

runners-up of the competition.

Kingsthorpe and District

Progress Association president

Chris Moore said the association

decided to hold a Christmas light

competition this year in lieu of

its usual event.

“We would like to thank our

community for the amazing effort

that was put into this year’s

light competition,” she said.

“It was surprising to see people

come out during Sunday

night’s rain. But seeing the children’s

faces light up made the

night.”

Mrs Moore thanked the


and its other sponsors on behalf

of the committee for their support

and providing prizes.

She said she encouraged people

to take time to visit the awesome

displays.

“I want to thank the association’s

volunteers for the effort

they have provided this year.

“It had taken a lot of work

to organise the Christmas light

competition,” Mrs Moore said.

“Anyone interested in volunteering

with the Kingsthorpe and

District Progress Association

can call me on 0417 613 121 for

more information.”

up of the Christmas Lights

Competition are: 2 Goombungee

Engineering group takes top honours in business awards

Highfields and District Business

Connections member

Jim O’Dea’s business Proterra

Group, took out two top awards

at the Focus HR Business

Awards 2020.

The awards event was held on

Saturday, December 12, at the

Empire Theatre, where Proterra

Group won both the industry

category and the business of the

year 2020 awards.

Proterra Group, an engineering

service based in Toowoomba

and Goondiwindi, provides

project management, civil engineering

and design, asset management

and waste management

services to rural and regional

councils.

Mr O’Dea said he was quite

surprised when Proterra Group

was named business of the year.

“I was sort of vaguely aware

it could happen because any category

winner could be named

business of the year, but it was

still astonishing to win,” he said.

“Apart from winning the

Regional Business of the Year

Award last year, Proterra Group

had not been involved with any

award events.”

This year’s awards had more

than 600 nominations and 100

applicants throw their hat in the

ring.

Toowoomba Chamber of

Commerce CEO Todd Rohl said

all the finalists should be proud

of their achievements in a difficult

year.

Mr O’DEA

Astonishing to win

“Proterra Group’s success this

year follows last year’s accolade

for best regional business,” he

said.

“The company is highly regarded

for its work with 16 local

councils covering an area from

Toowoomba to Longreach and

Quilpie to Moree.”

Mr O’Dea said after winning

the award, the business plans to

expand into 2021.

“We’re planning to expand

our waste operations. Currently

we are at five locations and we

would like to expand it to six or

seven,” he said.

“Winning the award is great

for engineering firms. It brings

engineering to thefront as a business.”-

Christmas party at Boodua Hall

The Boodua Public Hall Association recently gathered the local

community to celebrate its largest turnout for its annual Christmas

party.

About 120 people arrived to the hall to be involved with the association’s

celebrations on Friday, December 11.

“It was nice to see everyone come out to support the event. We

even had a few families from Highfields and Meringandan join in

the festivities,” she said.

The association received a grant from the Toowoomba Regional

Council for $1500 for the event which was used for entertainment.

Mrs Bullock said the entertainment for the night included

face-painting, laser skirmish and a jumping castle.

“It was a fantastic night where everyone could take the time to

catch up with their neighbours,” she said.

“Even the wet weather didn’t deter people from coming out and

enjoying themselves.

“I’m thankful of the support from everyone who attended and that

of the council who helped with this year’s party.” - Sean White

Travelling

with your

Dog

Web coopsqld.com.au

Email admin@coopsqld.com

With careful planning and the right safety equipment hitting the

road with your canine companion can be fun and hassle free!

Following some basic tips when taking your dog on holiday will

make it safer and less stressful for everyone involved.

Vaccination and Parasite Prevention

Well before the trip, ensure your pet is up to date with vaccinations and

parasite protection. This will protect them from picking up nasty parasites

such as worms, fleas and ticks as well as any diseases that may be in the

area. When you are heading to a new location there is no way of telling what

animals have been in that area and what disease or parasite they may be

shedding. Prevention prior to a trip is better than an emergency trip to the vet

in the middle of your holiday!

Identification

If your pet is not already microchipped – get it done! A microchip will never

fall off so you are safe in knowing that if you pet goes missing, they can be

scanned and returned to you. Make sure your details are up to date on the

database! ID collars and tags are also a great idea and make reuniting with

you much quicker.

Motion Sickness/Stress

Most of the time dogs travel quite well with no need for any medication.

Some dogs, on the other hand, do experience stress when traveling. If you

are aware that your dog stresses or suffers from motion sickness during car

travel, talk to your vet to decide on the best course of action for them. A few

options available to de-stress your dog include:

o Thundershirts

o Pheromone Collars or Sprays

o Medications – prescribed by a veterinarian.

Take your dog on a few short trips leading up to your holiday. This will

help them get used to travel, can give you the chance to ensure that they

are properly secured and if any issues arise you can address them before

your big trip.

Comfort and Restraint

Making sure your pet is as comfortable as possible in your vehicle is a sure

way to make the trip smoother. There are various restraints available ranging

from harnesses to carry cages. As it is an offence to have a pet on your lap

while you are driving, restraining them is the safest way to go.

Take one of your dog’s normal blankets so they have a familiar smell to

travel with.

Don’t forget to take their normal diet with you and if your pet is on

medication make sure you have enough! If you have to change their diet

while you are away, they may experience stomach upsets.

Remember to stop for plenty of toilet breaks during your road trip to avoid

toileting accidents in the car. Even the most well-trained dog can become

exuberant and unpredictable in a new, exciting environment so keep your

dog on a lead when in an unfamiliar environment so that they are secure if

they take fright at any unfamiliar sights or sounds.

ALWAYS REMEMBER!

Never leave your dog unattended in a car. Dogs can die very quickly

from heat stress, even in mild weather.

For more tips or if you have any concerns about travel, please feel

free to contact us any time to set up the best travel plan for your pet.

Fast or slow ways to herbicide resistance

PRICKLY LETTUCE IMPACT MAY BE

A LOT WORSE IF IT SURVIVES

YOUR HERBICIDE PROGRAM

By PAUL McINTOSH

Industry Development Agronomist - Northern Region for Pulse Australia

and the Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative

In the mid 1990s, the herbicide resistance argument was

fairly low key for many of us in this region. Wrongly relaxed,

as it has turned out to be.

With the price of key herbicides decreasing over the past

20 years, the rate debate has been largely forgotten, apart

from various researchers’ points of view. However, perhaps

it can point us to more efficient and long lasting use for new

herbicides or, should I say, new modes of action, coming

through our system.

What do I mean by the rate debate?

Many weed conferences and workshops around the world

discussed some time ago, and fairly vocally, about whether

continuous low rates or high rates of the same herbicide will

lead to faster herbicide resistance plants.

Drum roll .....the answer and it is both. Now to further

enlarge on that sweeping statement is that this was done on

Annual Ryegrass, a known out crosser and one that is probably

one of the worst weeds in the world for developing herbicide

resistance.

The rest of the weed spectrum in Australia will take some

research. However, the answer that should concern us is that

both high and low rates can lead to herbicide resistance levels

in our weed spectrums.

Prickly lettuce depicted in the photo is really gaining

notoriety, as being hard to kill and gaining the status in some

areas in probable herbicide resistance status.

Never the easiest plant to control in our usual winter farming

system, we should all be mindful of having any weed escapes

in our post spraying activities inspections. This just accentuates

the increasing issue we are facing in all our pesky weeds.

One of the WeedSmart Big 6 tactics is stopping seed set of

any annual weed and this applies to Prickly Lettuce also, before

it gets any extra fold levels of herbicide resistance.

So beware of this seemingly innocuous plant with the small

prickles on its leaves. Its impact maybe a lot worse than a few

prickles in your hand if it continues to survive your cropping

scene and herbicide spray program.

Last Toowoomba sale for Nutrien livestock

A long history of selling livestock in Toowoomba

has ended for Nutrien (Landmark).

The company held its last cattle sale at the

South Street saleyards last week, and will now

concentrate its services at the Dalby selling centre

each Wednesday.

Dalby holds both prime and store cattle sales

on Wednesdays, and Nutrien regional manager

Damon Ferguson said the company would provide

selling centre services for its customers in Dalby

which has a large catchment, and which can

provide strong buyer competition.

Mr Ferguson said they had to deal with

dwindling cattle numbers in Toowoomba.

But the market was also changing, and Nutrien

was increasingly involved in on-line selling and

paddock to paddock cattle sales and direct to

feedlot sales.

Jake Robinson from Nutrien, Roma, would lead

an enhanced selling team in Dalby.

The company’s name was changed from

Landmark to Nutrien a couple of years ago.

Five years ago, Landmark commenced selling

cattle at the Elders saleyards in South Street.

It had previously used historic old saleyards in

nearby Buckland Street, Harristown, which were

demolished and the land sold for commercial

development.

• These old saleyards had been used for decades

by the former company Dalgety, then Dalgety NZ

Loan, and then Landmark - Miles Noller

Large Prickly Lettuce on the Darling Downs in 2019

Jenny Radke, Andrew Costello, Craig Deacon, and Rob Weimers following their last Monday

cattle sale in Toowoomba.

Last Sunday saw the final week of Twenty20s

played in the Fiechtner Family Shield in what was

a great success for the association’s first crack at

the format.

Bowenville got their first ever win over Kulpi

by 18 runs, but lost to Nobby by 18 in their second

game. Millmerran continued their strong form in

the T20s by beating Nobby and then Pittsworth by

58 runs. Pittsworth were also defeated by Kulpi by

34 runs in a week they would wish to forget.

BOWENVILLE v. KULPI: The first game of

the week played at the Pittsworth Sports ground

was the always thrilling Bowenville-Kulpi contest.

In bitter conditions with hurricane level winds

and a pestering drizzle occasionally falling, it

was a tough game for both teams, Bowenville the

eventual winners by 18 runs.

Winning the toss and electing to bat, Bowenville

opened with gun teenager Arshvir Singh and

in-form opener Rahul Suresh.

Kulpi opening bowler Dave Sipple made short

work of the handy Suresh, getting him for a golden

duck while Arshvir continued to toil away at

the Kulpi bowlers, finishing the inning not out for

91 runs. Mustafa Abbasi assisted at the end with a

classy 31 off 34 as Bowenville reached a target of

2/152 from their 20 overs.

F.O.W. 2, 20.

The Kulpi bowlers were generally tidy, but

Dave Sipple grabbed the only two wickets, 2/12

(4) Nick Spies, 0/23 (4) and Lachlan Campbell

0/24 (4) were also consistent and tidy.

With the target in sight, Kulpi set out at a modest

pace, but lost the big wicket of Craig Skuse

early, quickly followed by Phillip Reinke at the

hands of Jack Gardener.

Adrian Newton (44) and opener Corey Dioth

(45) were able to steady the ship, building a

partnership of 95 runs, but the Bowenville bowlers

were persistent and bowled challenging areas

which found them getting the two key wickets at

the pointy end of the match.

With a couple of overs to get 38 runs, the explosive

Sipple came to the crease, and even with a

few big overs, it just wasn’t enough to overcome

the cunning bowlers, Kulpi falling short by 18

runs, with Sipple making a handy 17 not out off

eight balls at the end.

FOW 4, 19, 114, 129.

Opening duo Jack Gardener and Chaz Cheatley

were the best of the bowlers, with Jack getting

2/14 (3) and Chaz 1/27 (4).

PITTSWORTH vs MILLMERRAN: After

finding their feet in the Twenty20 format, Millmerran

were looking to carry their good form into

their clash against Pittsworth, and they did exactly

that, winning convincingly by 58 runs.

Opting to bat first, Millmerran were keen to put

runs on the board early.

Star-man James Sinclair put on 42 runs from

just 25 balls from the front while Alex Kahler

poked around for some singles for 13. However,

after the prized wicket of Sinclair, it was Alex who

kept the runs flowing. He knocked up 52 not out

from 39 to help Millmerran to a competitive total

of 4/150.

FOW 40, 57, 72, 109.

Mark Holt was the standout bowler for Pittsworth,

finishing with 2/30 (4). Jordan O’Shea,

1/19 (3) and Zac Thompson, 1/10 (1) both featured

in the wickets column as well.

The Pittsworth run chase did not begin well,

with both openers falling for nought.

It didn’t get much better from there with the rest

CROWS NEST MEN’S:

December 16 - Social bowls.

Winners Alan Richardson, Keith

Herbertson and George Brady,

runners-up Tony Ryan, Mal

Charlesworth and Ian Prodger.

At Wednesday’s pre-game

barbecue, Hotplate Harry (aka

Bill Perry) worked his magic

with tongs and spatula flipping

burgers and sizzling sausages.

Lotsa thanks Billy.

No intraclub competition

games were played on Saturday,

December 12. No games are

scheduled for the balance of the

2020 season. Unfortunately,

the annual Advertiser Shield,

sponsored by Neil and Ann

Lomas of the High Country

Herald, has been postponed

because of Sunday 13th’s

unreliable weather. The shield

CRICKET

will be held early in 2021.

At the end of play on

Wednesday 16 December, the

green was closed to allow time

to renovate the surface during

the Christmas-New Year break.

A working bee on Saturday

welcomed volunteer members

with open arms to assist with

sifting, shovelling and levelling

for a few hours.

On behalf of his management

committee, President Ian wishes

all members a merry and safe

Christmas and a Happy New

Year. Enjoy the break, and

return in a month or so ready

to loosen up the shoulders

and get back into it. Ian also

extends his sincere appreciation

to all sponsors who support

lawn bowls in Crow’s Nest.

The generosity of our local

of the top order all falling for single digits too.

Chris Bauld provided the only resistance in the

middle, scoring an unbeaten 42 from 47 as the tail

also fell around him.

They held out for the 20 overs to finish 8/92, a

disappointing finish to the T20 round.

F.O.W. 0, 6, 7, 20, 21, 36, 60, 80.

The wickets were shared around among the

Millmerran bowlers.

James Sinclair was the standout with a magnificent

3/13 (4), Hamish Birch, 2/11 (3), Luke

Saddlier, 1/17 (3) and Mitch Fowler, 1/6 (2) also

grabbed wickets.

Despite the big loss, there was a proud moment

for Pittsworth as nine-year-old Koby Salgado

helped fill in and scored four not out in seniors’

cricket. Congratulations Koby!

NOBBY v. BOWENVILLE: The final game of

the T20 round was the top of the table clash between

Nobby and Bowenville at the small Bridgeman

Oval.

Nobby won by 18 runs after a Bowenville collapse

that ruined the young ‘Villians’ unbeaten

round.

Batting first, Nic Budden (35) and Sam Healy

(19) put together a 59-run opening stand to set the

middle order up with a good score to work with.

However, after both openers fell in quick succession

the Bowenville bowlers were back on

top and grabbed the two key wickets of Jeremy

Haaksma and James Cain for small scores each.

From then, it was Bowenville’s kryptonite, Tim

Dowe, who took centre stage, blasting 34 off 18

before holding out attacking the short boundary.

That was enough to get Nobby a competitive

score of 8/152 from their 20 overs.

FOW 59, 63, 67, 112, 119, 126, 134, 140.

Leggie Arshvir Singh was the standout of the

bowlers, collecting 3/15 (4) and being a pest for

the batters.

Will Kropp, 2/40 (4) and Jack Gardener, 1/25

(3) were the other wicket takers, along with some

handy runouts from Chaz Cheatley and Arshvir

Singh.

Despite losing the wicket of Dave Connolly

early, the Bowenville chase began smoothly as

Arshvir Singh (25) and Rahul Suresh (60) looked

like cruising the Villians home to victory, as he

knocked up another half century.

Going for a big shot over mid-wicket, Rahul

top-edged an out-of-control shot, and Tim Dowe

made a spectacular running catch, the best of the

afternoon, hurting himself in the process.

From there, it was a familiar sight for Bowenville

with the tail collapsing again, not able to finish

the job that was set up so well for them – falling

short by 18 runs.

FOW 22, 43, 57, 117, 118, 118, 127, 129, 131,

134.

Jeremy Haaksma was the pick of the bowlers

with 3/19 (3.4) with the rest of the wickets being

shared between Jarrad Ruming 2/22 (4), Tim

Dowe 1/23 (4), James Cain, 1/31 (4), and Matt

Mogg, 1/4 (1).

That brings the Twenty20 rounds to a close, and

it was Bowenville who came away with the round

win, winning three from four games, tied with

Millmerran.

Nobby won two of four, Kulpi won two of four

and Pittsworth won just one game.

Central Downs Cricket is now in a recess for

the Christmas period, with the first games back on

January 10, as Bowenville take on Pittsworth at

Bowenville and Millmerran play Nobby at Millmerran,

Kulpi with the bye. - Brendan Cahill

Roundabouts for Highfields in the new year

With the fast development happening in Highfields,

the Toowoomba Regional Council has

passed the motion for the construction of newly

designed roundabouts for key intersections of the

Central Highfields development.

The decision for roundabouts constructed on the

Highfields/Kratzke/O’Brien Roads intersection

and the Highfields Road and Rogers Drive intersection

was made at the council’s committee meeting

on Tuesday, December 8.

Growth in the central Highfields area has been

quite substantial over the past two decades with

Highfields Village Shopping Centre, Mary MacKillop

Primary School and College, ALDI Highfields

and new library under construction.

This development has seen Highfields population

grow from 3600 residents in 2001 to 9500 in

2016, according to census data.

TRC infrastructure services general manager

Mike Brady said the council’s work on Highfields

centre led to looking at the use of Highfields Road.

“Over the last couple of years we have seen

the development of the Central Highfields Master

Plan and the Central Highfields Structure Plan and

both of those have driven us to look at Highfields a

little bit differently to what it was preceding that,”

he said.

“Quite a number of traffic studies and reviews of

the network, not only in the central area of Highfields

but the whole major section of Highfields

and how it works.

“We are looking at how to best manage not only

vehicular traffic, but active transport; whether that

be walking, cycling and into the future.”

The council report states that traffic studies have

concluded that roundabouts will have the capacity

to cater for the predicted traffic growth on Highfields

Road and the adjoining road network in

Central Highfields.

Also mentioned in the report is that the plan is

based of the modern Safe Systems design philosophy

for transport planning, intersections and active

transport.

The Safe System approach, adopted in Australia

in 2004, involves a holistic view of the road

transport system and the interactions among roads

and roadside with data and research to improve

road safety.

Estimated cost for the project is listed at $8.59

million with construction scheduled to start in

2022/23 and expected to be completed in 2023/24.
