Road in urgent need of repair

During my work commitments

recently, I travelled along

Genrich Road in Glenaven.

I was shocked to see the appalling

and dangerous condition

of this road. At several places

along the road, I had to come to a

complete stop before negotiating

the ruts that have been washed

out in the road over time.

Without doing this, my vehicle

I certainly have concern for

the residents along this road

who have to travel it daily but

my real concern is if the Emergency

Services were needed for

any reason, they would not be

able to negotiate the washed out

sections.

Defeated environment motion disappoints

Environmentally concerned

residents have expressed

their disappointment at the

Toowoomba Regional Council

voting against a proposed motion

to discuss environmental

protection.

TRC Planning and Development

Committee Portfolio Leader

Bill Cahill proposed a motion

at the council meeting on Tuesday,

October 25.

The proposed motion had

two components, one where the

council would hold an information

session in November on

available mapping showing area

of environmental significance.

The second part would see the

council hold another meeting in

January 2023 to discuss ways

environmental values could be

protected through the proposed

new Toowoomba Region Planning

Scheme.

Council plans to aid housing supply

Explore Create Get Pro Photos, people, or groups

Toowoomba Regional Council’s

goal to reduce regulations

to aid new housing supply has

taken a further step.

After submitting plans for

a Temporary Local Planning

Instrument 01/2022 - Housing

Assistance Measures to the

State Government, Planning and

Development Committee Chair

Cr Megan O’Hara Sullivan said

the council had further refined

the document to address matters

raised by the State Government.

“We have been in discussions

with representatives of the

development industry for a long

time now about what measures

the council can take to simplify

and speed up the approval

process for new housing across

the Region,” Cr O’Hara Sullivan

said.

“These discussions have

centred on how we can reduce

the level of regulation

applying to the creation of

additional housing in greenfield

development areas on the fringe

of Toowoomba City, as well

as stormwater solutions for

sites in existing urban areas

making them more feasible

for development, to assist

in addressing housing stress

currently being experienced

within the Toowoomba Region.

“While the longer term

plan will be to progress a

new Planning Scheme for the

Toowoomba Region, with this

piece of work expected to be

ready by 2025, we know we

Region had recently seen loss of

green infrastructure to make way

for urban development in Highfields.

“The Highfields community

has made it clear to the council

that this loss is unacceptable

and demanded that measures be

taken to prevent such loss from

occurring again,” he said.

“I brought it forward to highlight

not just to staff but to the

community that this is of significance

and the timing of the new

planning scheme is approved in

2025 is a considerable length of

time.”

Opposition to Cr Cahill’s proposal

argued that the motion was

redundant with one information

session already scheduled for

the following day and another

in January to discuss the same

matter.

Bypass eastbound closure

The eastbound lanes of the Toowoomba Bypass, between the Warrego

West interchange at Charlton and the Warrego East interchange

at Helidon Spa, are closed to through traffic for at least until this

coming weekend.

The eastbound lanes between Boundary Street interchange and

the Mort Street interchange will remain open.

The westbound lanes of the Toowoomba Bypass are not affected

and remain open to all traffic.

The closure is a safety precaution due to movements detected in a

cutting east of the New England Highway.

Geotechnical consultants have been monitoring the cutting since

last year’s wet season to enable a redesign and reconstruction of the

cut.

After heavy rain this month, further movement was detected.

We are anticipating further rainfall, and there is a risk material

may fall onto the eastbound lanes.

All eastbound traffic on the Toowoomba Bypass will be required

to exit at the Mort Street interchange at Harlaxton.

Eastbound traffic on the Warrego Highway will not be able to

enter the Toowoomba Bypass at the Warrego West interchange at

Charlton.

Northbound traffic on the Gore Highway will be directed off the

Toowoomba Bypass at the Warrego West interchange at Charlton to

detour through Toowoomba.

Works to repair the cutting are scheduled to start early next year.

QLDTraffic will be kept up to date with traffic impacts and changes

on the Toowoomba Bypass at the cutting.

need to do something sooner

than this which is why we’ve

progressed with a TLPI.

“We’ve listened to the concerns

of our community and have

proposed the TLPI as we believe

it could provide shorter-term

assistance for the development

industry to provide residential

lots and housing products in a

shorter time frame.

“This move will create a

simpler, shorter and lower-risk

process for the development of

land with access to existing or

planned infrastructure.

On May 22 at 5:00 PM PDT Flickr will be unavailable for maintenance. Learn more here.

“The proposed TLPI was sent

Back to album

to the State Government with the

council having since received

feedback on adjustments needed

to meet their requirements.

“The changes have now been

made to address the matters

raised by the State Government

with the proposed TLPI now in

the process of being sent through

for Ministerial approval.

“Following the review

we’re hoping to have a swift

turnaround so these changes

can be implemented for our

community.”

aim had already been achieved.

Queensland Darling Downs convenor

Scot McPhie said it was

disappointing to hear the council

vote the motion down at last

week’s meeting.

“The council has deferred

from any tree protection laws

until after the next election, so in

my opinion they have abrogated

their responsibility to do something

about it now,” he said.

“Two-and-a-half-years is too

long for the tree protections that

we need.”

“We were scheduled to have a

with the mapping so we

"In January we’re taking that

to a policy level and working out

how we deal with it as a policy.

“The staff had said to us that if

we try to do things quickly and

on the run, we wouldn’t have

something very thorough.”

Mr McPhie said that the council

had ensured implementing

tree protection laws was going

to be an election issue at the next

local government election.

“We’re certainly going to

keep up the fight to see that we

get adequate tree protection laws

State QCWA celebrates 100 years in Toowoomba

FOUNDED in TOOWOOMBA by RUTH FAIRFAX

Members from branches of the Queensland

Country Women’s Association made their way to

Toowoomba to celebrate the organisation’s history

on the weekend.

The QCWA Darling Downs Division hosted the

Exhibition of Creative and Practical Arts at the

Toowoomba Goods Shed on Saturday and Sunday.

A host of demonstrations and exhibits showcasing

the QCWA’s handy work were on display to

visitors.

Event organiser Phoebe Mitchell said it was

fantastic to see visitors come through the doors

and show their support for the QCWA.

“We worked on this event for the past 12 months

and wanted to show the community that there is

more to the QCWA than meets the eye,” she said.

“This weekend’s exhibition has all the other

elements the QCWA encompass with its Country

Kitchens Program, international studies, ag-studies,

advocacy and more.

“We’re also celebrating 100 years of the organisation

andhave centred the event on that.”

The weekend’s exhibition saw many visitors

from QCWA branches across the country who

had made their way to Toowoomba to attend this

week’s State Conference.

QCWA Darling Downs Division Lesa Bradshaw

said there had been a steady stream of people

making their way to the venue over the weekend.

“We have also seen a few younger people walk

through the doors to see what the QCWA is about,”

Mrs Bradshaw said.

QCWA State President Sheila Campbell said

Phoebe and the Darling Downs Division had done

a fantastic job organising the exhibition.

“The reason why we chose Toowoomba for

the State Conference is because the QCWA was

founded in Toowoomba by Ruth Fairfax 100 year

ago,” she said.

“This weekend has been a great demonstration

of celebrating 100 years of the QCWA.”

Mrs Mitchell said the event wouldn’t have

been possible without the help of the Toowoomba

Regional Council and the community.

Council calls for meeting over pipeline

Toowoomba Regional Council is seeking immediate discussions

before making a decision on the State Government’s proposed

Toowoomba to Warwick Pipeline project.

Mayor Paul Antonio said it was crucial to have a conversation with

the State Minister for Regional Development and Manufacturing

and Minister for Water, senior representatives of the State

Government and the Southern Downs Regional Council to remove

any ambiguity from all sides of the table.

“This is a massive decision for all of us which is why we’ve

called for an urgent meeting," Cr Antonio said.

“I’ve already reached out to the Minister and am optimistic we

can arrange a meeting as soon as possible on this matter.

“While we know what our requirements are for the Toowoomba

Region, a decision from Southern Downs Regional Council

has made it clear we need to gain further understanding of their

requirements for this proposed pipeline.

“We’re seeking to understand the intentions and implications of

the details listed in the decision from Southern Downs.

“We have a good relationship with our neighbouring council

so it’s about coming together to get clarity before we make a final

decision.

“At the end of the day, we appreciate Southern Downs is seeking

the best outcomes for their constituents and we will be doing the

same thing for Toowoomba Regional Council.

“There is no doubt there are positive opportunities for us from

this proposed pipeline, such as connecting our southern towns to the

Toowoomba Bulk Water Supply.

“However, there will be significant investment required so we

need to get the best possible deal for our community.

“It’s about ensuring our residents aren’t negatively impacted in

any way.”

At the Toowoomba Regional Council special meeting on

October 26, the council made the following decision: That this

matter be deferred to a future special meeting of council, pending

urgent discussions with the State Government Minister as a result

Pipeline to Southern Downs - a massive decision for all of us

of a relevant decision made by Southern Downs Regional Council

today that, if accepted by the State, does not achieve the following

principles in relation to the project:

• The project must not adversely impact or worsen Toowoomba

Regional Council’s water security position

• There must be no adverse financial impacts on Toowoomba

Regional Council as a result of the project

• That all parties achieve an equal financial benefit.

Justin Heaven said.

“As part of this, we have identified

huge market potential in

South Korea.

"With lucrative prospects for

food and agriculture, this grant

will allow us to take a delegation

of 15 businesses to Korea for a

possible exclusive business opportunity.”

The trade mission will take

place over three stages.

The first stage will focus on a

market insights and trade readiness

session offered by in-market

specialists.

The session is aimed at providing

participants with insights

on consumer trends.

This will include the business

landscape, requirements for export

and post COVID-19 market

update. This will be followed by

a virtual “meet the buyer” session

prior to the trade mission.

Participants will be matched

to interested Korean stakeholders.

TSBE will engage with government

stakeholders such as

TIQ and Austrade to facilitate

this session.

The trade mission, planned

and lasting around seven days,

is the final stage of the process.

“This mission will enable regional

Queensland exporters to

utilise their established business

network in commercialising

their trade and commerce relationship

with interested Korean

buyers,” Mr Heaven said.

“An allocation of the grant

funding would be portioned

towards assisting with sample

freight for applicable businesses.”

Council safety upgrades for two dams

Microbes in the garden:

Friend or foe?

We may not realise it, but the

soil in our gardens is full of microbes

Some of these can wreak havoc

He will show us what we can

A Moment in Time comes to

Jacaranda Day

Goombungee Art and Cultural

Enterprise in conjunction with

the Rosalie Shire Historical Society

celebrates master model

maker Rob Prentice’s new exhibition

A Moment in Time at

the Museum in Goombungee

during this week’s Jacaranda

Day celebrations.

Mr Prentice’s exhibition in its

new space at the museum sits

well amongst historical vehicles

and artefacts from the district.

Back in sixth class at school,

Mr Prentice made his first model

using rudimentary tools and

went on to win first prize for a

model of a coach.

Also in his younger days he

worked a farm with his father

in NSW before leaving at 25 to

start his own building company.

He was self-taught: the first

building he built was a woolshed

for his father.

Mr Prentice and his lovely

wife Lin planned a hobby for

their retirement that resulted in

their one-twelfth scale models

of early Australian life being

sought after all over the world.

They spent more than 20

years travelling around Australia

researching and measuring wagons

and horses.

Some pieces in the exhibition,

like the wheat harvester, have

never been modeled by any other

model maker.

When Mrs Prentice passed

away and with the onset of the

Corona virus, Mr Prentice was

challenged by his friend to complete

the unfinished works and

exhibit his private collection.

This is the first time that several

new pieces of his private

collection will be exhibited.

Mr Prentice said preparing for

the exhibition gave him a reason

to be in his shed, to finish some

of the unfinished pieces started

long ago and a way of filling his

days during the lockdowns.

A Moment in Time gives a

snap shot of early Australian

rural life in one-twelfth scale, to

relive the romance of Cobb and

Co. coach travel, horse drawn

vehicles and Sunday tennis and

more.

Each intricate piece is an authentic

to scale model of the

original; each part is masterfully

reproduced in wood, metal,

leather, resin, cloth and cane.

There are more than 20 fully

harnessed horses in the collection

and more than 30 period

dressed figures.

Mr Prentice is well known

in the Highfields district for his

community involvement and

contribution.

He is a former Highfields Australia

Day Citizen of the Year

and a proud Lions Club member.

Belinda took over the business

in March, rebranding the

business to Sip Café & Takeaway

where she and her team

continue to serve great food.

“Having worked here for

more than five years, I loved

the place and the community,

so when the business came up

for sale, I had to have a go,” she

said.

“Owning my own cafe has

Sip Café & Takeaway is

one of the latest businesses in

Goombungee that have had new

ownership come on board, reinvigorating

the local business

scene.

Belinda said she believed this

change of hands of local businesses

saw an increased involvement

with local community.

“Everybody who has taken up

these local businesses are local

people who want to see the community

thrive,” she said.

Lots of history with the post office




Denise and husband Ron Iseppi purchased

Goombungee Post and Presents from the previous

owners Christine Ambrose and Glyn

Robinson on May 3 and dhr says it has been

a great opportunity to preserve local history.

“When Goombungee Post & Presents came

on the market, we saw it as an opportunity for

a change for Ron and myself,” Denise said.

“Christine had done such a good job with

the shop, so to take that on and run the post office

was a big task but it has been a great way

to connect with the local community.”

The Goombungee Post Office opened in

1895 and has been in its current position since

1912 when it was a post office with a telephone

exchange.

BACK TO BASICS

“There is a lot of history with the Goombungee

Post Office with this building being

here for more than 100 years,” Denise said.

“I would hate for something to happen with

the original building, so being able to take on

the business is an opportunity to preserve a

part of Goombungee’s history.”

Goombungee Post & Presents will be open

this Jacaranda Day for all postal, banking, stationery

or other needs.

Shire Historical Society, describes

the day as a celebration

of the historic events, buildings

and groups which built this town

and its sense of community.

“This year, festival themes

bring focus to the centenary of

the Queensland CWA, and the

125 th anniversary of the Pioneer

Arms Hotel,” explains Denise.

“Of the five hotels that have

operated in this town, the Pioneer

Arms is the only one that

hasn’t burned down. It’s been

the place where people have

gathered to share their experiences,

good and bad, through

five generations.

“And, since the formation

of the CWA a century ago, that

organization has been a driving

force for women, families and

community wellbeing across

Queensland and Australia.

“So, this year, the focus is on

Spring Garden

these two organisations with two

half-hour street shows tracing

the stories of both the Pioneer

Arms Hotel and the CWA in

song and verse. The shows will

each be presented twice in the

main street throughout the day.”

Continuing the historic focus

is a world premiere exhibition,

A Moment in Time by renowned

model artist, Rob Prentice at the

Museum on George Street.

Rob’s work is fascinating

in its detail in presenting scale

models of horse and bullock

drawn transport of the region.

The exhibition will also open

on Sunday for those who either

cannot make it to Saturday’s festival

or those who just want another

look at this intricate work.

There are also other exhibitions

spread right up and down

the main street.

Steaming on the Downs are

presenting a standing display of

working traction and steam engines.

“These machines were the

first tractors,” explains Nick

Geraghty of Steaming on the

Downs.

“They were formative in




building the agricultural industries

of the Darling Downs”.

The steam engines will also

join more than thirty other historic

and vintage vehicles in the

street parade.


“The historic vehicle parade

is Denise

the highlight of the day,” says

“People come from all over to

see this amazing spectacle from

years gone by.”

There will be three art exhibitions,

one by the Oakey Art

Group at the Goombungee Hall,

another by local artist Isaya Sikwatta

at gallery GCC and one

featuring local artists at the Rosalie

Gallery.

Artist Alex Stalling will present

an open and live exhibition

of chalk art outside Rosalie Gallery

complemented by a series

of pre-designed and blank chalk

boards for people to contribute

their own artistic expressions.

St Matthews Lutheran Church

and St Colmans Catholic Church

will both offer self-guided tours

and Aspire Dance Academy will

perform Ballet on the Green.

An electronic presentation

of the winning entries in the

Australia Post, one of the many Goombungee businesses

participating in the parade

share it,” says president Denise.

And of course, a feature of

that main street are the Jacaranda

trees, many of which will be

decorated especially for the day.

And if La Nina decides to

come visiting?

“We have wet weather contingencies

planned,” smiles Denise.

Jacaranda Day

First hotel celebrates 125 years

Tom Gaslevich and the team

at the Pioneer Arms Hotel is inviting

everyone to come and celebrate

125 years of licensing for

the Goombungee establishment

during this weekend’s Jacaranda

Day.

The Pioneer Arms Hotel was

the first and only hotel left in

Goombungee, was built by William

Lovejoy in 1895 and licensed

in 1897.

Mr Gaslevich became the

latest licensee of a long list of

publicans for the Pioneer Arms

Hotel in late December 2021.

“A lot of small country town

pubs play a major part in their

community as a hub and that’s

no different for the Pioneer Arms

Hotel and Goombungee,” Mr

Gaslevich said.

“I grew up in the area, being

here for 35 years and every

Friday night you didn’t have to

phone your neighbors or friends

because you knew they would be

at the pub.”

This Saturday’s Jacaranda

Day, the Pioneer Arms Hotel

will have a range of activities for

all ages to enjoy.

“We have Neon Moon performing

live music from noon to

4pm and a children’s section on

the verandah doing face painting

and making fairy floss,” Mr Gaslevich

said.

The Pioneer Arms Hotel will

serve lunch from 11am through

to 4pm while also hosting a beer

truck around the back with five

additional taps.

Mr Gaslevich said becoming

the hotel’s latest licensee and a

part of its history was a dream

“This building has a lot of

great to be part of that legacy,”

he said.

QCWA Goombungee Branch members will

open the doors to everyone this Jacaranda Day

when thousands of travellers will make their

way to the town for Goombungee’s major annual

celebrations.

President Anne Wardill said the branch had

been involved with the community since its

inception in 1945.

“We support the community in various ways

such as giving local children scholarships to

help with their schooling or helping those in

need whenever we can,” she said.

“One of the aims of the QCWA is to be involved

with the community and Jacaranda

Day is a fantastic time of year where everyone

comes together.”

For Jacaranda Day, along with the homemade

scones and the Devonshire Teas for

which they are so well known, the Goombungee

branch will feature a display of the prominent

women of the QCWA as the organisation


celebrates 100 years in Queensland.

Oakey exhibition celebrates 50 years of visual arts

As clouds parted and rain

stopped on the afternoon of October

23, art enthusiasts assembled

at the Stanley Street Studio

in Oakey to celebrate the work of

visual artistes, and mark Oakey

Art Group’s 50th anniversary.

Oakey Creek and Arthur

Shooter Park provided the perfect

backdrop for the opening of

the group’s exhibition.

In his address to the gathering,

Club President Howard

Wetzig welcomed the guests to

the celebrations and shared some

of Oakey Art Group’s journey

spanning five decades.

The story began with a handful

of passionate locals who met

at art classes in the Toowoomba

Technical College.

Eventually these students envisioned

the benefits of exploring

and mastering artistic techniques

in their hometown and

pursued their shared dream of

forming an art group in Oakey.

Toowoomba Adult Education

assisted them by organising a tutor

to come to Oakey fortnightly

to provide tuition in classrooms

at Oakey State School.

"On July 25, 1972 the group

held it’s first meeting attracting

26 members by the end of that

year.

In 1981 the group began to

meet in a cottage on McDonald

Street and this continued until

plans for a new Council complex

and Cultural Centre were adopted

by Jondaryan Shire Council

and the site was cleared to make

way for construction."

The art group had to find a

new home. In 1994 they moved

into their purpose built studio

in Stanley Street, and despite

droughts and floods, it has become

a very comfortable and

well equipped facility.

“In 1989 our group conducted

our first ‘live in’ seminar at Perseverance

Dam.

"These annual seminars continued

until Covid struck. We

have now moved to holding

more workshops on weekends at

our Studio, and bringing tutors

to Oakey,” Howard said.

“We run bus trips to art exhibitions

and galleries throughout

south east Queensland, and

have taken tours to places such

as Magnetic Island and Central

Australia to provide inspiration

to our artists.”

“We owe much to the many

volunteers over the years who

kept this group going well, encouraging

people to share their

tuition experiences with others,

and taking care of our studio.”

Oakey Art Group has been

holding exhibitions of their

members’ work since their inaugural

display in Oakey State

High School’s Assembly Hall in

1975.

Venues have varied over the

years and included Oakey Cultural

Centre, Toowoomba Regional

Gallery, Darling Downs

Potters Group, Rosalie and

Hampton Galleries.

“Our art group has supported

Oakey’s Show Society for many

years, and Oakey Historical Museum

Society at various times.

"We have also supported

community events and celebrations

including the Bicentenary

in 1988, Carnival of Flowers,

and marked the 25th and 40th

anniversaries of our group,” Mr

Wetzig added.

As Oakey Art Group Patron,

Andrew Langton, officially

opened the weeklong exhibition,

he congratulated group

members on their impressive

history of achievement and the

way in which they have fostered

and encouraged artistic pursuits

throughout the district for fifty

years.

A celebratory cake was cut

by long serving Art Group stalwarts

Mesdames Glenda Fuller,

Ros Mason and Carole Wieck as

the crowd enjoyed light refreshments

in the gallery.

EVERYDAY SCIENCE with JAMES MCKAY

Increase in

atmospheric

vapour

Scientists from Australia’s

national science agency, the

CSIRO, say global atmospheric

water vapour is increasing.

Satellites, weather balloons,

and ground measurements all

confirm that water vapour is increasing

by one to two percent

every decade.

This increase is a direct result

of global warming.

A warmer planet means higher

daily evaporation because

warmer air has the ability to

hold more moisture.

The increase in evaporation

means droughts are becoming

severe but the extra air moisture

put into the air means that when

the rain does fall, it has the potential

to be higher.

A warmer planet therefore

leads to more extreme weather

ABOVE: Julie Sweeney, Hampton, chose Release by

Rebecca Brownsdon for her home gallery. RIGHT: Margaret

Loiterton explores the exhibition

events including more severe

droughts, and more flooding.

The law of thermodynamics

tells us that for every degree of

global warming, there will be a

seven per cent increase in atmospheric

water vapour.

According to a recent study

(Proceedings of the National

Academy of Sciences, 2022) an

increase in atmospheric energy

is also occurring.

So we can expect to see more

storm acivity.

While previous ice ages and

warm periods have occurred in

the past (from natural causes)

the earth has historically not

warmed this rapidly.

Every scientific organisation

says the primary cause of global

warming is the burning of fossil

fuels.

Stanbroke wins best beef award for third year

Beef producers Stanbroke has won the prestigious

Beef Battle in Toowoomba for the third consecutive

year.

The Stanbroke organisation produces the Diamantina

Wagyu branded beef for Australia and

numerous export markets, and was taste tested by

an expert judging panel of six, and then judged by

400 guests in a Toowoomba events centre.

Their combined score placed the Stanbroke beef

ahead of seven other branded beef offerings from

Darling Downs feedlots and some in nearby areas.

Chefs, including Meat and Livestock Australia

Corporate Chef Sam Burke from Sydney, served

the eight premium steaks to the 400 diners at

Toowoomba Turf Club who recorded their scores

electronically.

They rated the beef in terms of flavour, tenderness,

flavour intensity, juiciness and overall personal

liking.

The Beef Battle event is growing in its prestige

for the branded grain feed product.

The contest was developed by Toowoomba and

Surat Basin Enterprise and the first event in 2018

was won by Oakey based NH Foods.

Rangers Valley at Glen Innes won the 2019 battle,

but the champion in 2020, 2021 and now 2022

has been Stanbroke.

The other competitors this year, along with

Stanbroke, Rangers Valley, and NH Foods, were

JBS Australia; Mort & Co; NAPCO; Stockyard

Beef; and The Grove Premium Australian Beef.

Their premium brands have strong Wagyu content.

Stanbroke has a processing facility in Grantham,

the Bottletree feedlot in Chinchilla, seven

properties in the Gulf area, and backgrounding

properties at Chinchilla, Dalby and Wandoan.

Record numbers of students learn about agriculture

More high school students than

ever before are learning about

agriculture at Moo Baa Munch,

with double the number attending

the AgForce organised event at

Downlands College in Toowoomba

last week.

Wet weather knocked-out what

would have been a record primary

school day last Wednesday, but on

Thursday more than 500 high school

students from 11 schools attended.

That’s twice the normal number

of secondary students of about 250.

Students were from Highfields,

Dalby (two schools), Allora,

Kingaroy, Warwick, and five from

Toowoomba.

AgForce held its first Moo Baa

Munch at Downlands in 2010, and

it has been held at Downlands

ever since. About a dozen learning

sites, corporate and government,

are visited by the school groups in

rotation throughout the day.
