18.01.2022 MORE INFO on Tomorrow's Burn A planned burn of Lot 3 Dayboro Road, Whiteside is scheduled for Tuesday 21 July 2020. The burn is required to reduce the volume of forest litter fuel, thereby reducing potential bushfire hazards. The burn will also assist in providing conditions essential for native plant species regeneration. Smoke is likely to be generated during the burn. We are aware that this may cause some inconvenience; however, all attempts will be made to limit any adve...rse impacts on nearby residents. Residents and businesses around the planned burn areas are reminded to take the following precautions: Keep doors and windows closed and set air-conditioners to recirculate to prevent smoke entering homes Keep outdoor furniture under cover to prevent ember burns Retract pool covers and shade structures to prevent ember damage Remove washing from clothes lines Ensure pets have a protected area If driving through smoke, vehicles must slow down, keep windows up and turn headlights on Sightseers must keep away from the burns for their own safety. If you have asthma or other breathing difficulties, reduce outdoor activities when smoke levels are high.

18.01.2022 Well Done Shane King The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) would like to advise that Queensland Bridge and Civil has been awarded the contract to construct the $10.4 million Lawnton station park 'n' ride facility. The new Lawnton parking facility is part of a Queensland Government commitment to increase park 'n' ride facilities across South East Queensland to help relieve parking pressures at local train stations. ... Located at the corner of Slater Avenue and Ebert Parade, Lawnton, the park 'n' ride facility will provide up to 250 new car parking spaces which will significantly increase the local area's parking capacity. The park 'n' ride project will include the following features: lighting and CCTV for enhanced visibility and security landscaping to provide visual amenity pedestrian crossing facilities to improve pedestrian safety and connectivity to and from the station secure bicycle parking facilities at the car park on the corner of Ebert Parade and Butcher Avenue improved accessible parking bays on Station Road near the Lawnton train station. Please see the attached design layout for further details. Construction is scheduled to commence in July 2020 and is anticipated to be complete in late 2020, weather and construction conditions permitting.
17.01.2022 There are lots of worthy people out there. If you know one why not think about nominating them.
17.01.2022 PLEASE LET YOUR NEIGHBOURS KNOW Waste collection services disrupted, but bins will be collected Waste and recycling bin collections will be disrupted next week, with the Transport Workers Union notifying that their drivers will strike on Mondays starting next week (16/11/2020). Moreton Bay Region residents are assured that their rubbish will still be collected, although maybe not the same day. It’s estimated the strike action will create at least a one day delay on your usual... weekly household waste collection. Your fortnightly recycling collection may be delayed for a number of days but all bins will be collected within a week of the usual collection date. Cleanaway, Council’s waste collection contractor, will operate with a skeleton staff to ensure their waste collection services can continue. As long as you leave your bin on the kerbside, it will be collected. To ensure Cleanaway’s staff can process the increased workload there will be additional conditions temporarily enforced on collections: Overloaded bins will not be collected, the bin’s lid must be able to be closed. Overflow waste on the ground around bins will not be collected. If you bin is blocked by an on-street vehicle or other obstruction, it will not be collected. These rules will be enforced from 4:00am on Tuesday 17 November through to 4:00am on Saturday 21 November. Thank you for your understanding. See more

11.01.2022 GARBAGE COLLECTOR STRIKE As far as I am aware Cleanaway are still in dispute with their workers. Therefore, there may still be problems next Monday.... Please leave your bin out until it is emptied. Drivers are also "working to rule" so they probably will not be emptying bins that are overflowing and the lid is not shut, bins that are obstructed by a car and they will not be picking up rubbish at the sides of a bin. Please share this news with your neighbours who aren't on Facebook. Many thanks, Mick

05.01.2022 Feral Pig Control FYI Council’s Pest Management team has continued to assist landholders with feral pig management. During November, 39 feral pigs have been removed from the Samford and Highvale areas - bringing the total number of feral pigs removed across the region this year to 76. Feral pigs cause significant agricultural and environmental damage... and are known for spreading a variety of diseases. Feral pigs are classified as restricted invasive animals under the Biosecurity Act 2014, meaning everyone has a general biosecurity obligation to minimise the biosecurity risk they pose. Council officers have also been investigating new technologies, specifically aimed at controlling feral pigs, through the use of a new product Hoggone. This product contains low doses of Sodium Nitrite. Most animals can tolerate low to moderate doses of Sodium Nitrite, but feral pigs are highly susceptible to this compound. Image is one of the 39 feral pigs removed from the Samford area during the trial of Hoggone. (picture taken from surveillance camera) Council officers will continue to assist landholders throughout the region to manage invasive animals using a variety of control techniques. If residents are having issues with feral pigs, or other invasive animals, they are encouraged to contact Council on 3205 0555 or email [email protected]. See more
