12.01.2022 Trash to treasure | waste to wonderland It has been such a pleasure for Councillor Rebecca Vonhoff for TRC and I to travel across our wonderful region over the last couple of weeks judging the waste facility gardens as part of the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers program. There were many delightful gardens under difficult circumstances as there is generally limited water at the sites. The efforts by the staff from Ability Enterprises is to be commended and we thank them - for th...eir efforts, their enthusiasm and their warm welcome. We travelled around a second time to present the winners at Reviva Toowoomba, Clifton, Pittsworth and Yarraman Enjoy the photos.

11.01.2022 TRC dams at 31.8% with residents using 163 L/P/Day which is pretty good considering how dry it is. Bring on some rain!!! Toowoomba Region

10.01.2022 Today marks the first day of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. We are proud to be part of this worldwide campaign that kicks off on 25 Nove...mber, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day. It was started by activists at the inaugural Women’s Global Leadership Institute in 1991 and continues to be co-ordinated each year by the Center for Women’s Global Leadership. It is used as an organising strategy by individuals and organisations, such as our Zonta club, round the world to call for the prevention and elimination of violence against women and girls. Our President Wendy Roche and several club members gathered at Protea Place Women's Support Centre to begin the 16 Days and look over the Red Shoe installation. Another Zonta initiative, the red shoes represent women and children who have lost their lives due to domestic violence. A confronting and sad topic but we hope to shine a light on this issue and encourage our community to act. #16DaysOfActivism #zontahelps See more

All of their products are produced with state of the art processing techniques in Queensland and they’re damn proud of it, as they should be!

07.01.2022 How’s your green waste bin knowledge? Here’s a few tips... Also, most residential water use is used in the garden so mulching your plants is really important. Free mulch is available at our waste facilities and on the first Sunday of the month you can even have it loaded onto your vehicle for free at O’Mara Road. #greenwaste #environment #reuse #mulching #gardening #savewater #everydropcounts Toowoomba Region The Chronicle WIN News Toowoomba 7NEWS Toowoomba ABC Southern Queensland Triple M Darling Downs

07.01.2022 Glad my motion to request a monthly CEO Report was endorsed by Councillors yesterday!

07.01.2022 The Gospel...according to Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) CEO Greg Hallam. I like it!! The Gospel of Local Government When it comes to the role and function of local government - Old is New Again in 2021!... Forty years ago, the late, great Doug Tucker presented Queensland with his version of a Civic Gospel, the philosophy and thought that drives the concept of local government. In his chapter in the 1981 seminal publication, Local Government Systems of Australia, the senior lecturer in local government at the University of Queensland over four decades talked about a deep belief in a municipality’s ability, right and mission to improve the life of its citizens’. Tucker was referring to Townsville City Council’s relatively unique municipal vision (and implementation thereof) from the turn of the 20th century until 1980. He also attributed some of that same Civic Gospel to Brisbane, Toowoomba and Rockhampton. Now, as we enter the first weeks of the third decade of the 21st Century, the idea of Civic Gospel rings true for me more than ever.
