New local laws support safer communities

council has worked to

strike a balance between

community expectations

and the rights of individuals

while protecting the health,

safety and environment of

the regions communities.

If you want to view the local

laws you can fnd them

on councils website at

www.moretonbay.qld.

gov.au/local-laws

Moreton Bay Regional

Council now has

one set of local

laws covering the

entire region.

In most cases, the local

laws, which cover issues

such as the keeping of

animals, parking and

the management of

nuisances, will mean

business as usual for

council and residents.

Community feedback

has played a key role in

developing the six new

streamlined laws, which

replace more than 100 old

local laws and are designed

to provide certainty and

consistency for residents.

In developing the laws,

The website also provides

factsheets on issues such

as parking and keeping

animals, to set out in simple

terms what the laws mean

for most people.

If you want to know howmany animals you can

keep on your property,

council has a calculator

which can be found in

the animal ownership

section of the

website at

www.moretonbay.qld.gov.

au/animals

Copies of the local laws

can be viewed at the

Caboolture, Redcliffe

and Strathpine customerservice centres. CD copies

are available for perusal at

Caboolture, Redcliffe and

Strathpine libraries.

clearing drains and the construction of

a cul-de-sac on the southern end of

Way Street.

Division 2

Bellay Road, at Beachmere, which was

heavily affected by Januarys oods, is

being upgraded. Works include clearing

drains, reconstructing the road and

sealing existing driveway entrances

where necessary.

Division3The arboretum in Norfolk Esplanade,

at Caboolture South, is receiving

additional pathway lighting. The new

LED lighting will match facilities installed

earlier this year and will allow locals to

enjoy more parts of the park when the

sun goes down.

Division 4

A new concrete footpath on the

southern side of Alexandra Court, at

Deception Bay, will provide improved

pedestrian access from Deception Bay

High School to Moreton Downs Drive.

Division 5

Access to the Redcliffe foreshore

will be improved by a new concrete

footpath being built on the northern

side of Baldwin Street at Redcliffe. It

will run from the existing footpath to the

intersection of Prince Edward Parade.

Division 6

The area around the Redcliffe Jetty is

being dredged to improve access and

safety for local tour boat operators and

private vessels. The work is expected

to be completed by early October.

Division 7

A new concrete footpath in Voltaire

Crescent at Petrie is part of an ongoing

plan to continue to link footpaths in the

area and encourage residents to get

out and about.

Division8The construction of a new footpath

in Tosca Street at Cashmere will link

the street with One Mile Park, while a

new footpath on the northern side of

now has new playground equipment

that includes a climbing frame and

slide, swings, spring toy and a spinner.

Division 10

The playground at Lionel Burton Park

at Bennetts Road in Everton Hills has

a new slippery slide, rubber underlay

and landscaping. A new playground

net climber is being added to George

Willmore Park at Ferny Hills.

Division 11

Work is well under way on emergency

repairs to Mt Nebo Road (near Jollys

Lookout) at Mount Nebo, after a rock

fall earlier this year reduced the roadto one lane. Crews are working to

remove fallen rock and anchor the rock

embankment.

Division 12Alcock Road at Elimbah from Field

Road to 57 Alcock Road is being

upgraded to improve safety. The

project, expected to take about 10

weeks, involves reconstructing the road

surface, clearing drains and the sealing

of existing driveways where necessary.

Below is a snapshot ofconstruction works either underway or recently completed inMoreton Bay region.

Where applicable, council will have

trafc management measures in place

to ensure the safety of pedestrians and

motorists during construction projects.

Your patience is appreciated while the

works are carried out.

QSEC sets galloping pace

The $17.285 million

council-built centre, which

received Australian and

Queensland government

funding assistance, will

provide an exciting new

venue for international,

national, state and elite

championships, while also

meeting local and regional

equestrian and sporting

club needs.

The recently-opened

centres site covers

more than 30 hectares

between the Caboolture

Showgrounds and the

Caboolture Historical

Village.

QSECs facilities include

one of Australias largest

covered sand arenas,

state-of-the-art audio-visual

capabilities, spectator

seating, all-weather sand

and grass arenas, warm up

areas, 150 stables, eight

wash bays, 48 campsites

with power and water

access, additional informal

camp sites, meeting and

training rooms, and a

licensed bar.

The rst major equestrian

event, the Nathan Horse

Floats 2011Queensland

Dressage Championships,

will be held from 7 to 9

October, and the centres

management has already

received bookings from

equestrian groups and the

wider community through

to 2015.

As well as major events,

the centre will host master

classes with elite equestrian

competitors, school tours

and learn-to-ride programs.

See www.qsec.com.au for

more details.

Two major foreshore

parks at Scarboroughwill be getting facelifts

with work expected to

begin in September.

The projects, in Endeavour

Park and Scarborough

Beach Park, are in keeping

with each sites master

plan and will deliver some

important new facilities in

time for Christmas.

At Scarborough Beach Park

council has just completed

Improving Scarboroughs foreshore

an upgrade of the car park.

Improvements at the northernend of this much-loved park

will include new picnic shelters,

landscaping with additional

shade trees, an improved

cycleway and new playground

equipment. Scarboroughs

iconic pines will remain a

prominent feature of the

landscape.

The $300,000 rst stage of the

Endeavour Park project will

comprise new shelters, tables,

seating, a drinking fountain,

barbecue, playgroundpathways and associated

landscaping. Large

expanses of open space

will also be retained, along

with the spectacular views

of Deception Bay and the

Glass House Mountains.

By enhancing facilities in

both parks, council aims

to ensure they remaincherished community areas

for years to come.

Recycling easier

at Bunya

Recycling has become even

easier at the Bunya landll

site now that it has its own

resource recovery area.

Residents using the waste

management facility are

now directed to an area

where they can dispose of

their waste into designated

sections, depending on what

they are carrying.

It means a greater percentage

of recyclable material such as

cardboard, garden waste and

timber can be recovered, and

less waste goes into landll.

Similar resource recoveryareas can be found at

Caboolture and Dakabin

waste management facilities.

Cabooltures world-class Queensland State Equestrian Centre (QSEC) is gearing up for an action

packed year, with its rst major equestrian event locked in for early October.

Road works improve Murrumba Downs commute

Council has transformed

Dohles Rocks Road into a

four-lane arterial-standard

road between McClintock

Drive and Elm Drive.

The improvement means

the road, which had been

struggling to carry 15,000

cars a day, can now easilyhandle 25,000 cars and is

safer for both pedestrians

and vehicles.

The Dohles Rocks

Road project has also

involved installing new

telecommunications

cables and gas

mains, sewer mains,

drainage, lighting, trafc

signals, pathways and

landscaping.

Work has also been

completed on McClintock

Drive so that it connects

Dohles Rocks Road with

Goodfellows Road.

The missing link section,

which allows McClintock

Drive to feed into Goodfellows

Road, was initially built so it

could be used as a detour

while the Dohles Rocks Road

works progressed.

The detour has now been

improved to a nished road

standard complete with

pavement, drains, concrete

footpaths, a pedestrian

refuge, sound barrier fencing,

lighting and landscaping. The

work also involved adding

concrete footpaths leading to

Undurba State School.

The $9.7 million road works

have taken just over 18

months to complete.

Soccer scores at Samford

An old house will

gain a new life as

the headquarters for

the Samford Rangers

Football Club asa part of councils

plans for Samford

Parklands.

Cash House, an old

Queenslander that was

already onsite, will be

relocated and given a

makeover that will reopen

its closed-in verandas andprovide facilities including

toilets, a kitchen area and

meeting room.

Meanwhile, work is

continuing on creating

senior and junior sized

playing fields and practice

areas on the eastern side

of Mt Samson Road ofSamford Parklands.

The project will deliver

soccer fields for district-

level competition and

is part of the ongoing

transformation of the

parklands into a multi-

sport and recreation

area for Samfordand its neighbouring

communities.

Major upgrades to Dohles Rocks Road and McClintock Drive are now making travel through

Murrumba Downs easier and safer.
