Have you entered a church or

excluded - where no one greeted

you or made you feel welcome.

Unfortunately, this happens

in organisations including our

those who experience it don’t

Linedancers welcome

The very welcome increase in attention to Crows Nest with the

opening of new eating venues and interesting little shops and markets

has also increased interest in the local line dancing group,

Crows Nest Bootscooters.

Last Saturday, we had 19 linedancers on the floor, with the arrival

of three new members who by the looks of it, really enjoyed themselves.

We also have two men dancing with us now.

If you would like to come along and try linedancing, we start with

simple dances so that you don’t feel overwhelmed. We meet at the

Crows Nest Lutheran Church Hall on Toowoomba Road, opposite

the tennis courts at 1.30pm each Saturday.

There is no cost for your first lesson and we are covered by insurance.

- Lyn Collier, Crows Nest

Support Kingsthorpe hall

The Kingsthorpe Hall committee is holding a Spring Cent Sale

on Saturday, September 3, at the Hall starting at 11.30am. Entry is

$15 for lunch and one sheet of tickets and there will be multi draw

raffles. For bookings please phone Rosanne on 4630 0159.

This is the first function to be held in the hall since COVID began.

In the past we have held a Mother’s Day dinner and cent sale and

the annual Melbourne Cup Day lunch. Both functions were usually

greatly supported and anticipated. Unfortunately, this year we will

not be able to conduct the Melbourne Cup lunch as it falls on the

same date of a conference that the majority of the committee are

involved with.

Please come along and support the hall so that it may continue to

be of service to the community. - Rosanne Ehrlich

Disgraceful road decision

Local MP Trevor Watts is absolutely right. No-one travelling

from Highfields will travel many kilometres out of their way to get

to Toowoomba via Charlton.

Transport and Main Roads obviously pays no attention to the

wishes of local residents. But then when did they ever start to?

This decision is a disgrace and another nail in the coffin for the

Palaszczuk government. - Geoff Adam, Blue Mountain Heights

Committee seeks Olympic opportunities

A new taskforce committee was unveiled that

will be looking at maximising opportunities the

upcoming Brisbane Olympics could present to the

Toowoomba Region last week.

The Toowoomba Surat Basin Enterprise announced

the Olympic taskforce management committee

on Wednesday.

Inaugural members of the group consist of

Toowoomba Region Mayor Paul Antonio, Kylie

Bourne, Western Downs Regional Council, Todd

Rohl, Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce, Peter

Homan, Southern Queensland Country Tourism,

Michele Berkhout, TAFE Southwest QLD, Damian

Bell, Wagner Corporation, Troy Morgan,

Willows Health Group, Mark McErvale, Aspect

Group and Mark Mason, TSBE.

Ms Davenport said the committee was made up

of people with a wide variety of skills and diverse

backgrounds.

“They’re really going to help us maximise the

opportunities over the Olympics and for our region,

we obviously want sport, but for us there are

so many other opportunities from an Ag perspective,

from an energy perspective.

“There are so many different ways our region

could potentially benefit from.

“It’s thinking outside the square and thinking of

all the things that people going to the Olympics

are going to need.

“There is going to be like 3 million people in

South East Queensland over a three or four week

period and so what do we want from our region to

promote our region to those people.”

The establishment of the taskforce was a recommendation

of the TSBE Brisbane 2032 Olympic

Games Toowoomba Capability Review Report,

recently released by council.

Mayor Antonio said the 2032 Brisbane games

predicated on no suddenly built infrastructure that

would be torn down after the event.

“It’s about what we have and upgrading some of

the things that we have and I think we’ll get a fair

bit of benefit,” he said.

“I think we’ll get some of the football games

here; I’m hoping that when we build this centre of

excellence at the showgrounds that will bring a lot

of things happening to our area.

“It is my understanding that our equestrian set

up at the showgrounds is pretty good and wouldn’t

take too much to get it to Olympic standards.

“We have an airport where the horses could be

flown in and quarantined, and if it’s not far away

to the Toowoomba Showgrounds, I think it would

be an outstanding opportunity for us.”

Western Downs Regional Council spokesperson

for tourism events Kylie Bourne said the WDRC

was excited to be involved with the project team.

Toowoomba Olympic Taskforce Management Committee Mark Mason, TSBE, Cr Kylie

Bourne, WDRC, Mark McErvale, Aspect, Michele Berkhout, TAFE Southwest Queensland,

Mayor Paul Antonio, Toowoomba Region, and Ali Davenport

“This is about legacies in the lead up to the

games and we’re excited to see what opportunities

there will be for the Western Downs Region,” she

said.

“Whether that be pre-training, small events that

may happen in the regions during the Olympics.

“It’s also about legacy and tourism afterwards,

it’s going to be exciting to see what opportunities

there will be to keep people in regional Queensland

for longer post Olympics.”

Hydro station at Lake Cressbrook

With planning ahead of schedule,

BE Power is increasing its

engagement with the Crows

Nest community about its upcoming

pumped hydro energy

project.

BE Power have been planning

on the development of the Big-T

Pumped Hydro Energy Storage

Project at Lake Cressbrook.

The project will consist of

a pumped hydro energy storage

facility which will generate

400MW with 10 hours storage

and a battery energy storage facility,

enough to power 288,000

homes with renewable energy.

Both BE Power and GE Renewable

Energy selected engineering

company, Bechtel, in

early August to support the planning

for the project.

The facility will generate

power using water and gravity.

Pumped storage hydropower

works by pumping the water

stored in a lower reservoir into a

more elevated reservoir.

The water stored at height can

be passed through a turbine on

its path back to the lower reservoir,

creating electricity as and

when needed, and making the

best use of the water resource

without waste.

BE Power stakeholder and

business development manager

Troy Philpot said the planning

was 18 months early which

gives time for local people to be

able to engage with goods and

services.

“There is a requirement for

local and indigenous content to

be maximised. Most of the time

these projects will get to the finish

line, then they’ll go to tender

and then they’ll be desperate to

start it, so they will turn to larger

corporations. What we’re trying

to do is make a big enough opening,”

he said.

“We’re going to work with

the Toowoomba Surat Basin Enterprise

to have a portal so that

people can get qualified.

“There might be people who

start joining together to make a

big enough group to pitch for the

work.”

The power station for the project

will be situated underground

which would negate visual impact

of the construction.

“The electricity connection

involves construction of an underground

transmission line

power station to the Tarong

HIGH COUNTRY HERALD - AUGUST 16, 2022 - 3

Fast-tracking flood reconstruction

As the region bounces back from four recent

flooding events, Toowoomba Regional Council

will consider fast-tracking more than $6 million of

priority flood reconstruction works.

At the Infrastructure Committee on Tuesday,

August 9, Councillors voted in favour of a recommendation

to begin the works, prior to obtaining

formal Queensland Reconstruction Authority approval.

“Fast-tracking priority flood reconstruction

works is the right thing to do for our community.

These projects have to be done ASAP to address a

number of severely impacted roads,” TRC Infrastructure

Committee Chair Cr Carol Taylor said.

“The overall flood reconstruction works will

take at least two years to complete due to the substantial

damage we’ve experienced throughout the

entire region.

“Our road network has been severely damaged

and because of the repeated rain events, we haven’t

had an opportunity to commence repairing the

network as quickly as we did following previous

flood events, such as 2011.

“In saying this, our crews have done an amazing

job to date, having completed nearly 5500 temporary

emergency repairs since November 2021 and

are now moving into the next phase of undertaking

Find us on Facebook and Instagram

priority permanent reconstruction work.”

The council’s Flood Recovery Team has identified

priority works in consultation with the QRA

in its ongoing assessment of the total widespread

flood-related damage, which may total more than

$100 million in the Toowoomba Region alone.

“Our Flood Recovery Team is working closely

with the QRA to ensure funding for these works

can be reimbursed from QRA funding sources at a

later date,” Cr Taylor said.

“While it’s important we go through the necessary

processes, our community has high expectations

for roads being repaired ASAP and this motion

shows we’re prepared to respond accordingly.

“We appreciate this is only the start of permanent

reconstruction works as part of our massive

recovery program and sincerely thank the community

for their continued understanding and patience

through this time.”

The council voted to give the CEO delegated

authority to start reconstruction of essential public

assets, prior to formal funding approval from

QRA, and that the budget be amended accordingly

at Budget Review 1.

• The committee recommendation will go to the

council meeting this week for endorsement.

Operation Nighthawk at Goombungee

More than 1000 Scouts from across South

East Queensland converged at Goombungee on

the weekend for one of Darling Downs Region

Scouts’s largest events.

Scout groups met at the Goombungee Showgrounds

for Operation Nighthawk, a weekend

Operation Nighthawk started about 40 years

ago, having grown into one of Darling Downs Region

Scout’s largest annual activity.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT

Fact or fiction? - Know the truth

In today's world of TV, movies, onscreen games

and interaction with people online, it can be hard

to discern truth from fiction.

Much can be done these days with all screen

images to make things appear different to reality.

Depending on what we watch and what we believe

to be true, it is possible to actually be led

completely down the garden path.

‘Reality’ TV shows are a prime example, where

people take part in a show which is supposed to

show live situations.

However, the over the top drama in many of

them makes it clear to most people that much of

what is presented is both staged and acted out.

There are times when pictures shown on the

news are also misleading and can also be enacted

rather than a real live event.

Even some government advertising has proved

to be incorrect further down the track.

And then there is fake news. This term has been

applied to many social media articles, all of which

can sometimes be false and sometimes true, but

end up with a ‘fake news’ tag regardless.

Studies show that of our five senses, it is through

our vision that over 75 per cent of what we see is

retained.

This makes what is presented to us visually, a

very effective tool for advertising.

It is also a powerful tool for shaping our

thoughts and perceptions by training us to believe

what we see, especially when it is accompanied

by words as hearing is the second strongest of our

five senses in terms of learning.

It is how propaganda has worked down through

the ages, conditioning people to believe what is

continually presented to them.

“The trusted pamphlet people”

Scouts 40 years ago and it has grown over time.

We have moved around from Crows Nest, Goombungee,

Pittsworth and Clifton,” he said.

“Despite having a wet start to the weekend, it

won’t stop the Scouts from enjoying Operation

Nighthawk.

"It’s amazing to see enthusiasm from the young

people who have made it this weekend.

“This year we have 1200 Scouts from Bundaberg,

Brisbane, Gold Coast, Darling Downs and

even Armidale.”

The night-based activity began in 1982 with the

Rangeville Scout Group when one of the leaders

with the surname Hawk, gave the event its name.

Mr Keleher said he was grateful for the effort

and help from the volunteers and surrounding

landholders to ensure the event went ahead.

Participants in Operation Nighhawk at Goombungee

As someone once said "If you repeat a lie often

enough, people will believe it is true."

So what is the answer for those of us that desire

truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

Is there a way we can shield ourselves from falling

into the trap of believing in something that is

fiction rather than fact?

I believe a good place to start is to remind ourselves

that not everything we see on a screen is

truth.

No matter, whether it’s the news, advertising,

movies, games or shows, much of what is presented

is designed to govern our way of thinking, and

what we believe in.

Secondly, we need to turn to a reliable source

of truth. The Bible is the highest selling book of

all time.

It is responsible for changing the lives of thousands

of people for the better and has been translated

into over 700 languages.

Many people down through the ages have set

out to disprove its contents, only to end up becoming

believers themselves. Only by reading truth

will we come to know truth.

Jesus said in John 14:6 “I am the way, the truth,

and the life, no one comes to the Father except

through me.”

Your response could be taken from Psalm 25:5

“Lead me in your truth, and teach me.”

Our prayer for you is taken from John 17:17

“Set them apart through your truth, your word is

truth.”

Local woman raises money for

hair loss research

Samantha Beasley, Toowoomba,

has been fundraising over

the past month for the Australia

Alopecia Areata Foundation, to

help those who face the hair loss

disease.

At the time of writing this

article, Ms Beasley had raised

$498 of her $700 goal for the

foundation’s Hair Donation Program.

Alopecia Areata is an auto-immune

condition which

causes hair loss on the scalp and

body, affecting men, women and

children which currently has no

cure.

Ms Beasley said she was

excited to help the foundation

again with this year being the

third year she had cut her hair

for charity.

She said alopecia didn’t have

the same profile as other fundraising

efforts like Shave For a

Cure.

“My hair that will be getting

cut off will be used to make wigs

for children who are affected by

the disease,” Ms Beasley said.

“My hair grows really quick,

so doing this isn’t a big deal for

me but this means a lot for people

with alopecia.”

“There is still a lot that isn’t

known about the disease, so the

funds that I have raised will be

used for further research.”

Local hairdresser, KAS and

CO have come on board with

Ms Beasley’s efforts, agreeing

to cut her hair for free on August

20.

Ms Beasley said her online

fundraiser would still be open

after she got her hair cut.

“All the money that I have

raised online goes directly to

the Australian Alopecia Areata

Foundation.”

Moving healthcare to digital

Darling Downs Health have

set their eyes on accessible,

sustainable, and technologically

advanced care as they realise

the opportunity a Digital Health

Service presents.

The ‘Digital Strategy 2022 –

2027’, released earlier this year,

outlines the steps the Health Service

will take over the next five

years to become better connected

and improve the digital capability

of the organisation.

DDHS ICT Services director

Matt Craig said the strategy

would lay the foundations for

the future of digital healthcare

for the community.

“This strategy outlines the

steps we must take as an organisation

to ensure we are a Digital

Health Service by 2027,” he

said.

“Over the next five years we’ll

look to invest significantly into

a broad range of areas including

our people, infrastructure

and data processes that will help

deliver the best outcome for patients,

staff and more broadly,

the community.

“A lot of what we plan to do

will be through utilising network

connectivity that leverages off

the latest technologies, meaning

instantaneous connectivity, data

transfers and accessibility to information,

which is a complex

task in a hospital setting where

the security of data is paramount.”

DDHS CEO Annette Scott

said the digital strategy would

enable the Health Service to

be better connected across the

110,000sq km area it covers.

“We have more than 20 facilities

in our health service and this

strategy outlines how we can improve

the connectivity not just to

the facilities and their patients,

but to staff as well,” she said.

“It will mean more time can

be spent with patients in our facilities

or providing updates to

family and friends.

“This will all culminate when

the new Toowoomba Hospital is

completed and we’ll be utilising

various digital devices and platforms

across the facility.”

Operating over three project

Two arrested after armed robbery

Toowoomba detectives have charged two men

following an alleged armed robbery in Newtown

on Wednesday, August 3.

Police will allege a 25-year-old Goodna man

confronted a 45-year-old woman at a Brigalow

Street address at approximately 1.45pm.

It was alleged the 25-year-old man produced

a knife and demanded the keys to a blue Mazda

CX-5.

The woman complied and he left in the vehicle.

He allegedly picked up a 28-year-old South

Toowoomba man further down the road.

Hit-and-run

Toowoomba detectives have

located the vehicle believed to

be involved in an alleged hitand-run

that resulted in the death

of a 47-year-old woman on the

weekend.

It is believed the woman may

have been struck by a vehicle

between midnight and 8am on

Saturday, August 13 on 4AK

Council brings in temporary measure to

assist residential development

GET US THROUGH WHILE WE UNDERTAKE

A PLANNING SCHEME REVIEW

In a bid to alieve the housing supply issues, the

Toowoomba Regional Council are taking the steps

to assist in residential land development.

A motion to make Temporary Local Planning

Instruments 01/2022 - Housing Supply Assistance

Measures in accordance with the Planning Act

2016 was passed at the council’s Planning and Development

Committee Meeting on Tuesday.

The purpose of the TLPI is to assist in residential

land development to allow land in selected areas

currently zoned as Emerging Community Zone

in the Toowoomba Regional Planning Scheme for

low density residential purposes.

In the report, the TLPI applies to the development

that is a material change of use and/or reconfiguring

a lot on land located within the Emerging

Community Zone, 231 lots from Rockville, Cotswold

Hills, Torrington and Drayton have been

designated as land subjected under the TLPI.

Finance and Business Strategy Committee Portfolio

Leader Cr Kerry Shine brought up concerns

if the TLPI would water down the council’s restrictions

on the development of ‘hatchet blocks’.

Planning and Development Committee Portfolio

Leader Cr Bill Cahill said the council would

continue to have amendments to its planning

scheme.

“Temporary Local Planning Instrument is a

temporary instrument to get us through a gap period

while we undertake a planning scheme review,”

Cr Cahill said.

The TLPI is one of several measures to entice

residential development in the region the council

is looking at along with a reduction in application

fees for development applications and bringing

forward an incentive policy that would see a reduction

in infrastructure charges which will be

brought forward at later meetings.

Environment and Community Portfolio Leader

Cr Tim McMahon said the community was saying

it needs house blocks now and the industry was

saying it needs less red tape. “It saves our developers

a couple of years’ worth of paper work and

hopefully gets the blocks brought to market now

and working with our community to get house

blocks,” he said. - Sean White

Council seeks contributions to

arts and cultural Strategy

Community members across

Strategy.

Library and Cultural Services

portfolio leader Cr Tim Mc-

Mahon said the Toowoomba

Region was a hive of cultural

activity in the arts, heritage, and

supports.

"This strategy is aimed at

helping these to continue to

flourish and help formalise the

council’s delivery of services or

assistance,” Cr McMahon said.

A series of workshops will be

held in towns across the region,

with participants asked to consider

key items of the strategy

and help create a document that

will strengthen the working relationships

with the council and

other community organisations.

“We have so much activity in

Couple's open and shut case for giving back to the community

In 2017 Anne Bemi and Errol

Way had been retired for nearly

15 years when they found

themselves chasing a law degree

each, all in the name of giving

back to their beloved Ipswich

community.

Both born and bred in Ipswich

and married for 40 years, the

pair met at St Edmund’s College,

where Anne, now 67, was a

librarian and Errol, now 82, was

a biology teacher.

“Between us we have studied

at five universities over our careers

and upon retirement never

envisaged either one of us ever

returning to tertiary study, especially

after decades working in

education,” Anne said.

“But we found ourselves in a

situation where more knowledge

was needed and that led us to

consider more study.”

In their retirement, the couple

volunteered their time with an

advocacy group assisting with

a wide range of social issues in

residential parks.

“We enjoyed helping where

we could and we got a lot out

of devoting our time to people

in need, here in Ipswich and all

over Queensland,” Errol said.

“A lot of the clients had difficulty

navigating the legal and

system and required additional

support in court and tribunals so

we helped where we could. Anne

and I had a moment where it

clicked that it would be useful to

have more skills in this space.”

Anne said it was a big decision

to make the leap from doing

their own research as needed, to

committing to a degree.

“Ultimately, we made the

decision to enrol at the University

of Southern Queensland in

a Bachelor of Law because we

wanted the mental stimulation

to stop us fading into the background,”

she said.

“It was of huge convenience

to us too, to have the degree offered

in person just 20 minutes

from our own home.”

That was back in Semester 2

of 2017. This week, the motivated

pair will officially graduate

with a Bachelor of Laws each.

Errol describes the past five

years as a roller coaster rid - but

an enjoyable one.

“In the early days, computer

skills were very problematic,”

he said.

“It felt like if you paused for

just 24 hours you were automatically

behind when it came to the

technology. But we both adapted

and learned.

"I’m really pleased how we’ve

overcome the obstacles on that

front,” he said.

Dr Margaret Voight from the

University’s School of Law and

Justice said the couple were an

incredible example of going beyond

expectations and proved it

was never too late to learn more

and make an impact.

“As Errol and Anne’s Course

Examiner in the Law Clinic

placement subject, their maturity,

compassion and enthusiasm

in helping the most vulnerable

in our community was evident

in their interactions with clients

and colleagues in the clinical

placement team,” Dr Voight

said.

“Their passion for learning

new areas of law and legal

practice, although challenging,

seemed to be the catalyst to succeed

and to help others.”

Anne said after their graduation

ceremony the couple plan

Past students and families are

invited to an unveiling of a Memorial

Stone representing the

site of the Lavelle School. This

event will be held on Saturday,

September 24, with everyone

meeting at 10am at the Lions

Park in Millmerran.

For those interested there will

be buses out to the Memorial

Stone as there is very little parking

at the site.

After the unveiling we will

Millmerran.

Those interested please contact

The Lavelle Provisional

School started in the Lavelle

Hall on May 4, 1926 and continued

until 1933 when the new

school building was built on the

grounds beside the hall.

The school became a state

school on May 1, 1933 with the

average attendance of 14 students.

The first teacher was Miss

Margaret Norton and the last

was Mr Stuart Brown.

The school closed on December

21, 1957 and the 20 students

were then bussed to Millmerran

State State School.

After its closure the school

was transported to Ivanhoe and

used as a state school there, it

was then placed on a property

and then ended up in Leyburn.

to catch up on retired life before

completing their practical legal

training to become fully certified.

“We have to be realistic about

our age and our emerging law

career, but we’re both very keen

to pursue serving in some capacity

in community law in the

future. We’ve been so very fortunate

to have such a unique opportunity

on our doorstep and be

involved in a law program that is

so highly regarded.

“A lot of good things had to

align to make this a reality, and

I couldn’t be more delighted of

what we’ve achieved right here

in our hometown. It’s been such

a rewarding and transformational

experience.

“There is so much to be proud

of here in Ipswich and the University

of Southern Queensland

plays such a big part in that.”

Nod to Jondaryan school's fourth generation families

Jondaryan State School has seen several generations

of families pass through its gates in its 150-

year history.

In some cases, four generations have attended

including members of the Evans, Grundy, Matthews

and Chicken families.

While the teaching methods and technology

have changed over the years, students have carried

the school’s motto to “Strive for the Best” with

them throughout their lives.

Gail Hannam, nee Grundy, was the first generation

of the Grundy family to attend the school.

She was there from 1954 to 1959 and reflects on

her earliest memories of her school life.

“What always comes to mind are the few weeks

at the end of 1953 when I went to school on the

bus with the Ward children. I had been a Correspondence

School student for three years and

didn’t know what a Head Master was. I was scared

of Mr Weber when he fired questions at me on my

first day,” Mrs Hannam said.

While Mrs Hannam can remember feeling anxious

in her early years at the school. Her school

experience changed in Grade 5 and 6 under teacher

Bernard Hammer.

“He was young and could be fun. He had a different

way of teaching but could still discipline the

class,” she said.

Her nephew Russell Grundy attended from

1970 to 1975 and one of his earliest memories of

school life is the centenary celebrations in 1972.

Head Master Edward ‘Ted’ Adams made the

students march around and around the school

grounds.

For Mr Grundy, the friendships and core values

he formed at Jondaryan have continued throughout

his life.

Anita Polzin, nee Grundy, was a pupil from

1993 to 2000 and enjoyed her schooling experience

so much that she can remember waiting for

school holidays to end so she could return to the

classroom.

It is perhaps one of the reasons why Mrs Polzin

became a teacher and she has taught as a supply

teacher at the school in recent years.

Although she can’t remember it, Mrs Polzin has

been told her second day of Year 1 was rather interesting.

“I refused to go, as I had completed my schooling

on the first day,” she said.

“My mother drove me to school and I was removed

from the car by teacher aides and after five

minutes, I was fine. Let’s just say, this behaviour

didn’t occur on day three.”

Looking back at the early years of Jondaryan

State School, Mrs Polzin was horrified at the

learning and teaching conditions of the early

1900s, yet impressed that teachers not only provided

a well-rounded education, but also taught

40-plus students at once.

“It is also the resilience of those from the Silent

Generation, who endured the Great Depression

and World War II,” she said.

“As a teacher, I look at the curriculum requirements

now and wonder how we fit it in. Students

of today cover such a broad range of topics in such

a short time frame and are expected to recall this

knowledge in future years.

“Another change has been the introduction of

technology and how reliant we are on it and interactive

whiteboards in our teaching. Gone are

the days of rote learning, and copying endless

amounts of information off the old chalk board.”

When Mr Grundy reflects on what other generations

have had to deal with in their everyday

and school lives, he feels the pace and pressure

has increased.

“I’m impressed how students after me have

managed this by taking it all in their stride as they

adapt to modern technologies with ease,” he said.

Gail Hannam, nee Grundy, Russell Grundy, Anita Polzin, nee Grundy, and Miles Polzin,

four generations of the Grundy family attended the Jondaryan State School

He is happy with the period he went to school

in but ultimately said, it didn’t matter which years

you went to school, it was how you utilise what

was being taught.

Anita’s son, Miles Polzin, is the fourth-generation

of the family to attend Jondaryan, stating

school in 2021.

He likes the school’s nice gardens, great outdoor

spaces and play equipment. An added bonus

that has helped him settle in has been having his

Oma, Cora Grundy, working at the school.

“It is very special to know that my Pa and Mum

have attended this school and now I can celebrate

this with my family and class friends,” he said.

The family reflected on the highs and lows of

their schooling years in the lead up to the 150th

celebrations and feel the school’s motto is a “good

mantra for life”.

“It’s nice to know you were just a small part of

an enduring legacy, a special time in the life of a

Local charity lodges application for Chaseley Park development

Crows Nest Community

Solutions (CNCS) has lodged

a development application for

its Chaseley Park project whihc

looks to assist in addressing the

town’s housing needs.

The application for a staged

development of multiple dwelling

units and rooming accommodation

at Olsen Drive at

Crows Nest, was lodged on July

29.

The masterplan of the development

outlines a six stage

project that would bring 48

dwellings to Crows Nest; ranging

from apartments, duplexes,

houses and units.

CNCS chairman Baden

Brown said the vision for the

project evolved from assisted

living to community housing to

address the community’s need.

“The initial plan is for a

staged development. As things

progress, additional stages will

be developed as the need arises.

In the current housing market

we are confident tthere will be an

ongoing need,” Mr Brown said.

“The idea is for Chaseley Park

to remain in community owned.

The Board wants to ensure

there’s no chance for anyone to

have a private interest that may

railroad the original vision.”

The first stage of the Chaseley

Park project has been estimated

to cost $8.5 million. CNCS is

currently seeking funding from

both the Queensland and Federal

Government to assist with Stage

1 of the development along with

allocating funds to contribute to

the capital costs of the build.

Currently, CNCS has invested

$467,000 to get the project to

Development Application stage.

CNCS have put an expression

of interest to the Queensland

Housing Investment Growth for

QuickStart Pipeline Funding and

are looking to gain additional

funding from the Building Better

Regions Fund, if this funding

becomes available in the near

future.

Mr Brown said CNCS had

undertaken a thorough planning

process. Should one source of

funding become unavailable, it

would not mean that the project

was abandoned.

CNCS had alternative plans in

place to ensure the community

asset remains within the community.

“With the DA process enacted;

the next step will be gaining

the required funding.

Once the DA is approved and

the funding is sourced, this vital

housing asset will go ahead as

planned,” he said.

Construction for the Stage 1

of Chaseley Park is expected to

commence in early 2024 and be

completed by 2025.

“CNCS have stated from the

start that this important project

was going to take a significant

amount of time.

“We have taken the time to

ensure that we have done our

research and planned effectively,

because we want to do it right,”

Mr Brown said.

Volunteering - better for health and wellbeing

Volunteering plays a crucial role in communities in the Darling

Downs, helping those in need, aiding during crises, and maintaining

culture and the environment.

The high country micro-region houses many volunteer-based organisations

which help build and aid their communities from rural

fire brigades, local museums and conservation organisations.

Volunteers provide events like that of the Hampton Festival highlight

local producers and industries.

According to Volunteering Australia, this year saw a slight increase

in volunteers across the country but numbers were still lower

than the 12 months preceding late 2019.

Since the pandemic, one of the largest issues local volunteer organisations

have been facing is the lack of younger people coming

on board to volunteer.

With an ageing volunteer base, it is not uncommon to see local

volunteer groups lose members due to retiring or moving away.

Volunteering Australia CEO Mark Pearce said volunteering

builds social connections and makes communities more resilient so

that, when disasters hit, the community could cope better.

“Volunteering is good for us. It offers opportunities for social,

economic, and cultural inclusion, and improves our health and wellbeing,”

he said.

“We encourage everyone to come together and support their communities

by offering their time and skills to help others.”

Protecting agriculture from pests and disease

AUSVEG, Australia’s peak industry body for

vegetable and potato growers, has welcomed the

announcement of Australia’s first National Biosecurity

Strategy.

The strategy, which comes after a National Biosecurity

Statement was agreed to in 2018, has

been agreed to by federal, state and territory ministers

and will help ensure that governments and

industry work together to protect Australia from

the threat of harmful pests and diseases.

AUSVEG CEO Michael Coote, said the industry

had been calling for a long-term, ongoing

support for the nation’s biosecurity system, with

recent biosecurity threats and incursions proof that

biosecurity was too important to be left to chance.

“As we have seen recently, ensuring Australia

has a strong and well-resourced biosecurity system

is vital for Australia’s agriculture industry and

important for the health and safety of every Australian,”

Mr Coote said.

“While we have natural advantages due to our

geographical location, we cannot afford to be

complacent. Recent biosecurity outbreaks in this

country, including Fall armyworm, Serpentine

leafminer and Varroa Mite, as well as the ominous

threat of Foot and Mouth Disease just over

our border, have shown the tremendous economic

and emotional toll that incursions and the threat of

incursions have on an industry and its members.

“The announcement of a National Biosecurity

Strategy that has been agreed to by Federal, State

and Territory Ministers is welcome recognition

of the ever-growing threat from foreign pests and

diseases.

“AUSVEG has been a vocal supporter of a coordinated,

long-term, ongoing funding model that

ensures the nation’s biosecurity system is well-resourced

and effective.

"We note that more detail is needed on the funding

model to enact this strategy and we are keen

to work with the government to ensure that industry’s

needs are met through the new strategy.

“Our biosecurity system needs ongoing resources

that are dedicated to keeping our borders safe

from harmful and dangerous pests and diseases.

“The agriculture industry is working towards a

target of $100 billion in value in 2030 and requires

a robust and effective biosecurity system to protect

crops and communities for harmful pests and

diseases.”

• AUSVEG is the national peak industry body

for Australia’s vegetable and potato growers.

AUSVEG represents over 3500 vegetable producers

that account for 3.83 million tonnes of vegetable

production worth $4.9 billion in farmgate

value and over $5 billion in retail value annually

– it is one of strongest performers of Australia’s

agriculture industry.

Inaugural Biosecurity strategy - designed for future challenges

Australia’s first National Biosecurity

Strategy was released on Tuesday,

outlining the key actions for all

Australians to ensure a stronger biosecurity

system.

Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries

and Forestry Murray Watt made the

announcement at the National Press

Club on Tuesday.

He said the National Biosecurity

Strategy would provide clear direction

to ensure our system remained

fit to meet the challenges of the next

decade and beyond.

“The management of Australia’s

biosecurity system is becoming increasingly

complex, creating new

challenges for governments, industry

and community stakeholders in protecting

our agricultural sector,” Mr

Watt said.

secure Australia’s primary industries

well into the future.

“By aligning all the key players,

we can ensure everyone works together

to counter the biosecurity

threats we face.

“Australia’s biosecurity system is

a critical national asset and a shared

responsibility, and this strategy is for

all Australians.

“It is critical all Australians play

their part to safeguard our clean,

green, world class biosecurity status.”

National Farmers Federation president

Fiona Simson said the National

Biosecurity Strategy was an important

framework to ensure that all parts

of our system are best placed to protect

Australia from an increasingly

complex risk environment.

DESCRIPTION

reporting on Toowoomba Cattle Sale

Sale Date: August 8, 2022 – 134 yarded

A small yarding was on offer on Monday. Again

we saw no bullocks or heavy steers on offer; there

was a handful of cows with the balance of the

yarding consisting of weaner and feeder types.

Some prices started to see an increase with quality

being the major reason. There was a fair line-up of

buyers and a good crowd of onlookers.

reporting on Dalby Cattle Sale

Sale Date: August 10, 2022 – 2986 yarded

A few less numbers were yarded this week. There

was a good line up of buyers with additional

support from southern areas also. The market

for almost all yarded saw an increase in price

with cows selling to dearer rates once again.

There was good buyer support for bullocks and

heavy steers. Feeder operators once again active

being pushed along by restockers. Weaner cattle

returning to the paddock sold to stronger rates.

Yearling feeder steers – 590.2c/kg, heavy cows

— 378.2c/kg, restocker steers 680.2c/kg, heavy

heifers 410.2c/kg.

“A co-ordinated, well-resourced,

and innovative biosecurity system

is fundamental to the success of our

agricultural industries, and in supporting

the goal of becoming a $100

billion sector by 2030,” Ms Simson

said.

Invasive Species Council CEO

Andrew Cox said this was the first

time that Australia would have a

strategy that sets a direction for our

national biosecurity system.

“It is a strategy that will help us

protect the many things we value as

Australians. I encourage all Australians

to find ways they can support it.

The spirit of collaboration that

helped create this strategy will be

fundamental to the system that ill

help us withstand growing challenes

ahead."

Inspection gives

livestock sector

confidence in

biosecurity

Leaders from Australia’s livestock industries

have witnessed how travellers to and

from countries such as Indonesia are exposed

to more than 20 biosecurity touch points,

enhancing the biosecurity wall protecting

Australia from exotic animal diseases.

The behind-the-scenes inspection of Sydney’s

International Airport was hosted by

the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries

and Forestry’s Biosecurity and Compliance

Group. It featured a step-by-step review of the

increased biosecurity measures in place from

plane arrival through to baggage collection

and exit.

The inspection was a collaboration between

Government and representatives from

Meat and Livestock Australia, Australian

Meat Industry Council, Wilmot Cattle Co,

Australian Pork Limited and Australian Wool

Innovation.

The Australian Government has implemented

a range of further urgent measures to

reduce the risk of exotic diseases such as Foot

and-mouth disease, Lumpy skin disease, and

African swine fever from entering Australia.

Agriculture Minister Murray Watt said it

was a great opportunity for industry to see first

hand the strong measures implemented by the

government at the borders.

“We have been working hand in hand

with industry to make sure our response to

the threat of FMD is appropriate,” Mr Watt

said.

French, Brisbane, in men's pairs. Playing in these

events also are Ian and Marilyn Long, Ann and Trevor

Sander, Cathy and Angus Young, Errol, Kaylene

and Haydn Weir, Keith Jannusch and Shirley Hohn.

I don’t have to hand the events that these players are

playing in.

Back to Ballarat to play in the internationals are

Errol, Kaylene and Haydn Weir and Angus Young.

To the spectator this looks so easy to just roll the

bowls down a piece of green carpet but believe me

there is a large amount of skill which can be acquired

with practice and fitness needed to walk the length of

that piece of carpet numerous times.

On arrival in Tasmania the players have two days

of training then three and a half competition, that is

without what they do when they come back to Ballarat.

We wish them all the best and hope they are

successful and enjoy themselves while doing so.

On a sad note, last week saw the passing of one of

our oldest bowlers Connie Dornbush, 96 years.

Connie will not only be missed by her family but

her lawn and indoor bowling friends. Connie was

one of the two people who introduced and coached

me to indoor bowls over two decades ago for which I

will always be so grateful. R.I.P Connie.

Our Carnival of Flowers bowls carnival has been

confirmed as being on September 23, 24 and 25 in

conjunction with the Toowoomba Carnival so mark

this on your calender also heard a whisper that we

will be hosting another free Come and Try Day early

in the new year. - Denise Crust

HIGHFIELDS: A U G U S T

7: Round 16 of the TRL Rugby

League competition saw the

Highfields Eagles take on the

Oakey Bears on the western field

at Kuhls Oval.

The Oakey Bears brought a

good number of fans and were

vocal in their cheering all day

long, but this didn’t deter the

Eagles, coming away with three

wins in the men’s grades and a

draw in the women.

The under 19 Eagles were

switched on, determined to continue

some good form leading

into the finals, scoring a whopping

12 tries while holding the

Bears to just one all game.

Their middles led up all day

with Liam Bright having his best

game of the season, winning the

Players Player Award.

This got the team up the field

and to the kick, allowing their

backs to finish it off over the try

line, with Chad Lebsanft and

Zac Brown both scoring hattricks.

The juniors stepping up, continue

to have a great impact on

the game with Jai Purser making

his reserve grade debut and

matching it with the older men.

The Eagles open women’s

side is also filled with young juniors,

who are cementing their

spots in the senior team.

Young Siena Norris and Mackenzie

Zeller were outstanding

with Katelyn Collie also barging

forward all day long, taking out

the Players Player award for the

game.

The women had a proud,

powerful performance against

the Bears, putting together some

great plays and individual efforts.

The game ended short of the

whistle due to a bad injury requiring

an ambulance for an

Oakey Bears player and this saw

the score end in an 18-all draw.

After their first loss of the

season last weekend, the Eagles

reserve grade players were determined

to turn that around.

They hit the ground running,

putting together some impressive

set plays which led to a

54-4 win. The Oakey Bears are

always tough and they certainly

kept hitting hard all game, but

the Eagles were relentless in attack

and defence and were determined

for a good, solid win.

The A grade Eagles will certainly

want to forget their performance

against the Bears.

Although they came away

with win 30-20 win, it was

filled with errors and sloppy

play which kept the Bears in the

game till the end.

Hats off to Oakey, putting

on some great hits and creating

pressure which forced errors

from the Eagles, putting them in

the lead at half time.

The second half saw the Eagles

make a comeback to take

the win, but they will need to

come together better next weekend

against the top of the ladder

Gatton Hawks.
