TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN

MORE than 50 of Australia’s leadinghang glider pilots took to the skies

over Tamborine Mountain last week asthey competed in the sport’s premierQueensland event, the Canungra Classic.

This popular annual event is organisedby the Canungra Hang Gliding Club and isone of the most important competitions inthe country for this spectacular sport.

Hang gliding remains a perennialattraction for locals and visitors, andhundreds of spectators lined up last weekto watch what seemed to be an endlessqueue of gliders as they lifted off fromtheir popular take-off precinct on thewestern escarpment of the Mountain.

Organisers said the Canungra Classicwas an important prelude to the World

Titles to be held at Forbes in New SouthWales next year.

A hang gliding race is like a threedimensional sail-boat race, where pilotsuse a global positioning system (GPS) tofollow waypoints on a course.

Top pilots can fly a distance of 160 to320 kilometres duringa competition.

EVENING showers failed to put adampener on this year’s Springtime on

the Mountain festival, instead deliveringsome welcome relief for gardens after weeksof dry weather.

The festival was a resounding success ashundreds of locals and visitors to themountain took in the beauty of six of themost spectacular private gardens in the area,including the expansive Glenloch in YuulongStreet, North Tamborine, which has been aseven-year labour of love for the owners.

Tamborine Mountain’s Community

Garden was also a popular stop along theOpen Gardens Trail. The Botanic Gardenswill benefit from the three-day fundraisingevent, organised by the Tamborine MountainGarden Club and sponsored by the ScenicRim Regional Council.

Planning has already begun for next year’sSpringtime on the Mountain, from Friday,September 27 to Sunday, September 29.

Springtime trail wasa blooming success

Glenloch, one of six spectacular gardens on the Springtme on the Mountain Open Gardens Trail.

THE Appeal by Gillion Pty Ltd againstCouncil’s refusal of its development

application for Commercial Extraction ofGroundwater now seems on track for ahearing in November with the final reportof the town planning experts due on 5thOctober.

The McCarthy Durie legal team nowrepresents nine co-respondents but it is alsoworking with other co-respondents towardsa best possible result. The team will becollating Statements of Evidence fromrepresentative residents who are directlyaffected. They will not necessarily all beco-respondents. Significant legal costshave already been incurred and that will

continue. Although only a few people areresponsible for the costs, they see theiraction as representing the many who objectto the removal of water from the Mountain.

The co-respondents are planning fund-raising activities to assist in meeting thesecosts.

KNOLL Road residents are pleadingwith members of the Tamborine

Mountain community to slow down ontheir way to and from the refuse station atthe end of the road, fearing a child may bekilled by a speeding car.

As well as being concerned for the safetyof children and bushwalkers in the area,Sandra Sewell fears for the koalas she hasseen crossing Knoll Road and providedthis photo (above) to the TamborineMountain News as proof of the dangerspeeding motorists pose to this threatenedspecies.

“We do have koalas at the Knoll,” saidMs Sewell.

“We know of one very large and veryloud male and a female and a baby and weworry about their safety on such a heavilytrafficked road.”

Ms Sewell said residents in the area hadtried years ago to get Council and the MainRoads Department to lower the speed limiton Knoll Road, but even with the supportof Tamborine Mountain police wereunsuccessful in their bid.

The speed limit is currently 50kilometres an hour, but Ms Sewell saidmany truck drivers ignored this. Shebelieves some of the worst offenders aredrivers of Council trucks or theircontractors.

“We are totally fed up with the speedingtrucks and utes, all day every day alongKnoll Road,” said Ms Sewell.

“Apart from koalas and other precious

wildlife, we have young children living onKnoll Road who walk to and from schooland ride their bikes on the road.

“We ask Scenic Rim Councillors andTamborine Mountain residents to support aspeed reduction on Knoll Road for the sakeof all pedestrians, tourists, bushwalkersand most importantly our neighbourhoodchildren.”

Cr Nigel Waistell said that he will beasking Council to conduct a review of thespeed limit on Knoll Road.

Jailhouse rockers ready for Gospel concert

Dear Geoff,

The last of the ‘I Am’ sayings in the gospel of John is a picture of how we can live in this

world without being swallowed up by it. The Christian’s life is not completely identified with

nature. It is not totally subject to or exhausted by the material world. This includes the

world of ideas generated from the human mind. Biblical Christianity has always maintained that

God is real and that God is above and outside of his creation. Yet he has entered his creation

in the person of his Son. His Son has come to accomplish the work of redemption. Jesus

speaks of his death on the cross in terms of a finished work of atonement,

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, ‘ “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head

and gave up his spirit.’ John 19:30

Jesus came from heaven, from that place where God is distinct from the creation. He

brought with him new life, life that he called eternal life and abundant life. It is called this

because it is not subject to perishing. It has no use by date as our life in this world does.

It is not subject to death and corruption.

Yet, we continue to live in this creation in its fallenness. We continue for a time to struggle,

face hardship, try to discern the good and do it. And what Jesus is saying in John 15:1-4 is

that the way to do this is to remain in him. This is how we will be able to be fruitful in

this life. This is how we will be able to ‘make a difference’ as they say. But this fruit

doesn’t drop and rot. It is fruit that comes from God and lasts. If we remain in Christ,

persevere in trusting him, seek his wisdom, seek his strength, etc. his life in us will grow

us toward spiritual maturity.

God our original Creator is also our great Redeemer, ‘in him we live and move and have our

being’. “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener…….. Remain in me, and I will remain

in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear

fruit unless you remain in me.’ John 15:1,4

The full life we often long for and think is long lost is found not in the intensity of

experience, or the variety of experience, or the abundance or quality of possessions, but it

is found in a personal relationship with the one who created us in his image and who has

reconciled us to himself through his Son.

Your Brother,

Kim

A greyhoundas a pet?You bet!THEIR racing careers may be over, but

greyhounds like Cookie are winninghearts in the pet stakes as more and morepeople see their true colours as loyal andloving companions.

Cookie, pictured with foster carer,Sherree Gordon, of Eagle Heights, is oneof the luckiest of dogs, because she is oneof the few greyhounds who will be savedfrom destruction and given a chance at lifeas a pet.

A vet nurse, Sherree is a committedmember of Friends of the Hound, agreyhound adoption group dedicated to re-homing greyhounds which wouldotherwise be destroyed by the age of twoto three years.

“More than 20,000 dogs are bred inAustralia each year and half of those nevereven make it to the track,” said Sherree.

“They deserve a chance at life, not aterrible end.”

The breed’s fortunes have taken a sadturn since the Middle Ages when theywere the dogs of the aristocracy and killingone was punishable by death. Today,thousands of greyhounds deemeddisposable by the racing industry are killedeach year simply because they areconsidered surplus to requirement or pasttheir use-by date.

Sherree abhors the racing industry inwhich many owners over-breed andmistreat dogs, and has rescued a number ofunwanted greyhounds. One of those is nowher own pet, happily co-existing with hercats, a golden Labrador and fosteredgreyhounds like Cookie, who is now readyfor a permanent home.

Fostering is an important part of thedog’s transition to pet life, and Friends ofthe Hound needs more foster carers tocontinue its work of saving greyhounds.

Overcoming people’s prejudices is oneof the biggest obstacles facing the Friendsof the Hound.

“People associate greyhounds withmuzzles and think they must be vicious,but they are really sweet natured andgentle like Cookie,” said Sherree.

Patient and tolerant dogs, greyhounds areusually very good with children and theircalm, sensitive and friendly nature has seenthem used as therapy pets in aged care andspecial needs homes.

“They make lovely companions and willquietly follow you around,” said Sherree.

Another misconception aboutgreyhounds is that they need lots ofexercise, but they are in fact, less activethan other dogs more often kept as pets,such as cattle dogs and kelpies.

Sherree jokes that greyhounds are theworld’s fastest couch potatoes.

“After a brief bit of exercise in themorning, they are happy to lounge aroundfor the rest of the day, they really are solaid-back,” she said.

Greyhounds rarely bark and their shortcoats are a bonus for people with allergiesas they do not shed a lot of hair and do nothave an odour.

Every greyhound re-homed is desexed,microchipped, vaccinated, wormed,heartworm tested and treated and up-to-date with flea and tick control. The dogscome with their own collar and lead and acoat to keep them warm.

If you are interested in adopting Cookieor fostering a greyhound, contact Katrina atFriends of the Hound on 0423 840 448.

TAMBORINE Mountain Newsthought our readers might enjoy the

following email exchange betweenregular correspondent RolyLindenmayer and Natural HistoryAssociation President, Cr NadiaO’Carroll, regarding the curiousbehaviour of some local magpies:

Good afternoon Nadia,Here is a little story that I thought might

be of interest to you. Last mating season a pair of magpies

that have their nest in a tree directlyopposite our house had one chick. Duringall the heavy rain at that time, one or theother of that pair would take shelter on ourfront veranda rail. After the chick left thenest sometimes all three would shelter onthe rail and occasionally I would feed themsome of the bland cooked chicken breastthat my wife Shirley prepares almost dailyfor our dog Jacques.

Every now and then all three would turnup and it seemed that the adults wouldencourage the youngster to not be afraid.They would take food from me, eat somethemselves, and then collect a beak fullbefore hopping to the other part of therailing to feed the young one. Eventually ittoo began to take morsels from my hand.After some time it disappeared and Ipresume went off on its own. However, theadults stayed around in what is obviouslytheir territory.

This year an extraordinary thinghappened. About six weeks ago while Iwas on the front veranda, the femalelanded on the rail beside me withsomething in her beak, which she depositedon the rail before flying back towards thenest. To my surprise what she left was a bitmore than half of a hatched egg. I couldsee dried traces of one or two very tinyblood vessels and what looked likealbumen. I know it sounds ridiculous but itwas almost as if she was showing me thatshe had a new chick.

Sure enough, a couple of weeks ago a

fledgling left the nest and is being fed innearby trees by both adults. If they are inthe immediate neighbourhood I have onlyto whistle and one or both adults come tothe rail. Sometimes when they come theywarble loudly as if to tell me they havearrived.

The male is very aggressive towardscyclists and the mailman and dive-bombswalkers on the road but he never bombs us,even when Jacques and Shirley are underhis tree.

Roly Lindenmayer

Hello Roly,People tend to routinely write off other

species as dumb creatures that work purelyon instinct and think that anyone who seesthings differently is a sentimental fool – Itotally disagree. Those birds think you andShirley are their friends, and of coursethat’s what you are. They are obviouslyselective in who they like and trust sincethey do not share that friendly attitude toother people.

So I don’t think it is impossible that thebird is showing you that her egg hashatched. I think that is probably exactlywhat she is trying to communicate. A friendhas a frog living in her bathroom – sherescued it many years ago and it cannot bereleased. It can open the shower slidingdoor, it croaks back to her when she speaksand recently when she was away it becamevery excited and croaked back when herhusband put the phone on speaker – evenlittle creatures have their own personalitiesand can become attached to us.

There is a whole world of wild, non-human personalities out there living theirown quiet simple individual lives in theirown way and occasionally they havevoluntary interaction with people, butusually people are too self absorbed toenjoy or even recognise the lives of thefellow creatures around them. What a lot offun and happiness they miss.

CETACEANS (whalesand dolphins), seals, sea

lions, walrus, dugongs,manatees and sea otters arewell adapted to lifeunderwater and are capableof diving to great depths.Yet they, like us, are breathhold divers who face thechallenges of drowning dueto lack of air, coping with water pressure anddecompression sickness.

The fundamentals of marine mammals’adaptation to survival in water aredemonstrated to a lesser extent in terrestrialanimals in an innate self preservationtechnique called mammalian diving reflex(actually this reflex also applies to birds andreptiles). If the face of a reptile, bird ormammal is submerged in water colder than70 degrees F, the receptors in the nasal cavitytrigger a response in the brain and nervoussystem which causes 3 main responses. Itslows the heart; it slows then stops bloodcirculation to the extremities so that the heartbrain circuit is preserved, thirdly at depth itcauses a blood shift, which allows plasmaand water to pass through the thoracic cavity,to protect from the effects of pressure.Consequently, even land dwellers such ashumans; can survive longer underwaterwithout oxygen, than they can on land,whether they are conscious or unconscious.

Marine mammal have many more complexadaptations to capture, conserve and storeoxygen to facilitate their life below thewaves.

Another challenge is decompressionsickness or the bends, a condition that occurswhen nitrogen gas, compressed in thebloodstream at depth, expands during ascentcausing pain, injury and even death.

Observation of a wild 82kilo sea lion who wastagged for 48 dives (afterthe study, the gadgets wereremoved and the animalreleased) showed how theseal conserved oxygen andcoped with pressure andnitrogen.

At a depth of around 225metres, there was a dramatic plunge in thesea lion's oxygen pressure, signalling that ithad collapsed its lung to shut off additionalair (and thus nitrogen) to its bloodstream.The sea lion reached a depth of some 300metres before beginning its ascent. At around247 metres, the oxygen pressure rose again,pointing to a reinflation of the lung, and thenfell off slightly before the sea lion breachedthe surface. A reserve of air was kept in theupper airways and this was used to reinflatethe lung during ascent.

Impressive as the California sea lion is fordiving skills, it is still outstripped by theemperor penguin, which can reach more than500 metres, and the elephant seal, which canforage at more than 1500 metres.

Marine mammals are not immune todecompression sickness or injury due torapid ascent. Recently hundreds of deaddolphins were washed up along the beachesin Peru, fishermen reported thousands deadin the ocean. The cause of this disaster isdisputed. Necropsies indicated acoustictrauma and decompression syndromeconsistent with a loud noise event possiblyseismic testing used in underwater miningexploration.Birdwalk 17 Oct – Kingscliff to PottsvilleBushwalk 12-13 Oct – Stanthorpe weekend

Nadia O’Carroll

Last week we were lucky to have an enthusiastic, helpfulstudent from the high school with us on work experience.Not only was she engaged and interested, she was alsoenquiring. At the end of the week she left with a newunderstanding of what travel agents do and it reminded methat unless you work in the industry you are not aware ofwhat happens behind the scenes and what you the clientreceives by booking with an agency.

Firstly you gain access to our knowledge. Collectively theteam at Travelling Places has over 55 years of experience sowe know a thing or two about travel and what torecommend. We know which airline or hotel is offering agood value proposition, who has the most comfortable seatsand best service. We know which hotel to stay in and why orwhich river or ocean cruise will suit you as a person. Weknow to request that window seat, the room with a view, theportside cabin. We know which questions to ask you tomake sure we help you design your dream trip.

We recommend airlines/hotels/tours/cruises which suityour budget and that we know will be great for you as anindividual. We don’t take a punt on the internet that whatwe are looking at is truthful - that the hotel in Aucklandreally is 5 star and only costs $100; that the reports onTripadvisor aren’t corrupted by operators posting their own‘recommendations’. We offer you tried and tested travelarrangements that we have either had personal experienceof or that have been recommended by a colleague in theindustry that we trust.

We help clients who have had to cancel their travelarrangements and have insurance claims. And if somethingchanges while you are on your holiday it is great to knowthat there is someone at home to help sort everything out.

Time is important and when you come to an experiencedtravel agency we save you time by designing andrecommending travel suggestions. Some clients enjoy beingintimately involved in their plans and others come to us withan idea and are happy for us to form their suggestions into atrip to fit their dreams. Come and speak to us – you maywell be surprised.

TAMBORINE Mountain Police havebeen experiencing a busier than usual

time during the current school holidayperiod.

Issues as diverse as monitoring andmanaging increased road traffic, letter boxvandalism, a number of break and entersand catching snakey intruders have all beenon their work list.

School holidays are a recognised periodfor increased traffic accidents and, as partof the State-wide Spring Break campaign,our local officers have put a big effort intoensuring safe traffic outcomes on theMountain.

While they have been encouraged by adecrease in “hooning”, due in part to callsfrom the public that have assistedmonitoring of known hot spots, they haveexpressed concern at the number ofvandalised letter boxes in the communityduring the school holiday period.

The worst hit areas have been EagleHeights and Bateke Road on the southernend of the Mountain.

Anyone with any information regardingthe letterbox incidents are urged to contactour Police who have also called on parentsto be more vigilant with respect to knowingwhere their school aged children are atnight. They say they have beenparticularly disturbed by the number ofoccasions they have seen teenaged girlswandering about at night.CYCLISTS MUST WEAR A HELMET

Incidents of children and teenagers notwearing helmets while riding their bikes isanother issue that has emerged during theschool holidays. Police have even seen atleast one case where an adult cyclistwithout a helmet was accompanying achild who was wearing his. A pretty poorexample in anyone’s language.

An adult not wearing a helmet can attracta $110 fine, while a child can be issuedwith a bicycle offence notice and berequired to report to the Police Station.SOME ADVICE: If you are distracted byanything while driving, pull over as

quickly and as safely as you can and dealwith the distraction. Don’t do what onedriver did recently. While trying to pull atick from his neck as he was driving, hefailed to give way and hit another vehicle.

SNAKE NOTE: Senior ConstableBrendan Edwards again demonstrated hissnake catching talents on Sunday when heapprehended a small Golden CrownedSnake in the kitchen of the VondaYoungman Community Centre. Brendanwas ably assisted by Constable SteveGuerin in the delicate operation.

FOUND PROPERTY: A number of itemsincluding a Samsung mobile phone, lady’scream coloured bag with clothing andmake-up, lady’s ring, and a man’s ringhave been handed in to TamborineMountain Police Station. If you think anyof the items may belong to you, simply callin at the station to identify the item youmay have lost.

GALLERY WALK CAR PARKConstruction of the Gallery Walk car park,off MacDonnell Road, will commence onMonday 8 October and should take 7 weeksto complete, weather permitting.DEPT OF MAIN ROADS (DTMR)DTMR have declined to increase the number of speed signsdown MacDonnell Road or to introduce a lower speed limit onthe approach to the Fig Tree. However, they have agreed to inserta pedestrian gap in the guard rail on Geissmann Drive which willallow the residents on the northern side to access the footpath. FEES AT THE KNOLL ROAD DUMPI have taken calls and read the letters concerning the fees forresidents at the dump. I have sought an update from Council and,hopefully, you will see a slight relaxation from now on. I willhave further discussions on these charges in early October and Iwill advise you of the outcome. However, please ensure that yourloads are safe, covered and that you drive slowly down KnollRoad. Having been advised by DTMR that speed limits on KnollRoad are the business of Council, I am asking Council to conducta review.FOOTPATH AND BIKEWAYS STRATEGYThe above strategy has been approved by Council. Thank you tothose who submitted ideas. All your ideas for future footpathsand bikeways have been recorded on a database for future use. Asa result of the large number of submissions from the Mountain, ithas been recommended that consideration be given to compilinga strategy for the Mountain itself. I support this view. In addition,we now need to ensure that the strategy is resourced. I will bediscussing this issue with other Councillors in early October.ANNUALSIn the past, there has been a discussion on whether more Annualsshould be planted around the Mountain. There are problemsassociated with the planting of Annuals, not least the watering ofthem. I asked Council Officers to discuss this issue with theGarden Club and it has been decided, for this year, to maintainthe status quo. If you have thoughts for next year, please submitthem to me.SPRINGTIME ON THE MOUNTAINCongratulations to all the volunteers involved in organising thisyear’s Open Garden Trail. Everywhere looked beautiful.TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN SPORTS ASSOCIATION (TMSA)TMSA have acquired a second hand mower from Council.Volunteers are now required to assist in mowing duties.

These comments represent my personal viewsand Council decisions are decided on by amajority vote.

PLANNING CHANGES On 24 August Qld Govt wrote to SRRCannouncing that the Government intended torepeal the State Planning RegulatoryProvision which supported the SEQ RegionalPlan, and inviting comments to be deliveredby 5 September i.e. within 9 working days.In view of the excessively brief time frame SRRC planning staffdid well to produce a concise and balanced submission. The SEQRegional plan was a comprehensive planning instrumentproduced after extensive consultation, its purpose was to managegrowth and development. It was not a perfect document andwould most likely have benefited from a comprehensive reviewby a new government to provide more council autonomy within aregional structure. Scrapping it creates risks of pressure forincreased applications for ad hoc, out of sequence andinappropriate developments. The new policy to award costs in thePlanning and Environment Court will make it problematic for thecouncil to refuse or impose stricter conditions on a wellresourced applicant. According to Qld Govt PR these measureswill empower local councils, it remains to be seen if this will bethe case.TAMBORINE ROUNDABOUTA new four road approach, 46 metre wide, single lane roundaboutwill be constructed at the junction of Beaudesert-Beenleigh Rd,Waterford Tamborine Rd and Tamborine Mt Rd. Work is due tocommence in October and completion is expected in March nextyear. Obviously there will be traffic disruptions during theconstruction. Dept of Main Roads will be providing moreinformation to the general public as construction plans arefinalised. In the meantime information is available on the projectsection of website www.tmr.qld.gov.au telephone 5596 9500. MOBILE LIBRARYDue to the Tamborine roundabout construction from 5 October themobile library will be re-located to the carpark at TamborineMemorial Hall.SWIMMING POOLSCouncil pools season runs annually from the first Monday of theSeptember School holidays to 31 March.

Rescue dog Hudson the pet parade winner

EVERY dog has his day, and no more so than Hudson, a handsome two-year-old cattledog cross who won the large dog category in the Tamborine Mountain Show’s pet

parade, judged by celebrity gardener Don Burke.Hudson, pictured with Don Burke (left) and Kim Sullivan, a volunteer from the

Australian Working Dog Rescue organisation, also won over the crowd at the show.Hudson was born at an RSPCA facility after his pregnant mother was one of 150 cattle

dogs seized from a property. He came into the care of the Australian Working DogRescue group because of its expertise in looking after cattle dogs.

The group is a non-profit organisation that rehabilitates and re-homes working dogbreeds. For further information on adopting Hudson, phone 0435 820 481.

SCENIC Rim Council has approved plans by the Tamborine Village Lions Club toestablish a new clubhouse.

The clubhouse is to be established adjacent to the Tamborine Memorial Hall, withCouncil granting a five-year lease over a parcel of land at the complex to house abuilding which will be relocated to the site.

Tamborine Village Lions Club, which was established in 2010, has a membership of 34and currently uses the Tamborine Memorial Hall as a meeting venue. However, the hallis well patronised and is exceeding capacity in terms of meeting and storage availability.

Corporate and Community Services Committee Acting Chair, Cr Virginia West, said adedicated clubhouse would give the Lions a permanent presence in the local Community.

Council approves Tamborine Village Lions plans

Pictured at a recent Tamborine Village Lions Club fund-raising initiative at the local markets areclub members Paul Krahnen (left) and Richard Wright, who were enthusiastically assisted by

several young Lion cubs.

ATCH Phil GiffardPhil GiffardwithWCOUNCIL

IN a recent column, I expressed somedisquiet about changes to State Government

legislation including to the Local GovernmentAct.

I highlighted a statement by our Mayor inwhich he looked forward to an amended Act.Cr Brent said he wanted “to see Council’sbody corporate status returned and conflict ofinterest provisions, misconduct guidelinesand material personal interest provisionsreviewed.”

Further, “many elements of the Act wererestrictive and bureaucratic and the Act hadstripped Councillors of their right to properlyrepresent the interests of the communitywhich had elected them.”

Any relaxation of Councillors’ conflict ofinterest and material interest provisions couldlead to a suspect process. Inevitably, therewould be reduced confidence that decisionswere being taken in the interests of thecommunity.

As for misconduct guidelines, the existingAct contains provisions which were simpleand apparently adequate. However, ourCouncil chose to overlay draconian andillogical additional measures in its CouncillorCode of Conduct.

These additions had been drafted by theLocal Government Association of Queenslandand could unreasonably limit Councillors’right to make public comment. SomeCouncils, including Gold Coast and Ipswich,refused to have anything to do with theLGAQ drafts and, with good justification,promptly binned them. Coincidentally, our

Council has now resolved to modify the Codeof Conduct to remove one of the morenonsensical provisions and, oddly, to providethat penalties for the Mayor and CEO bereduced.

However, a recent statement by Cr PaulPisale, Ipswich Mayor, raises my concerns toa new level. Think about this. Cr Pisale: "Atthe moment, I can’t ask my CEO to dosomething without keeping a record of thedirective. How much red tape is that?"

Under the Act, council Chief ExecutiveOfficers are responsible for managing theoperation of a Corporate Councilorganisation. All directors and other staffreport to their CEOs either directly orindirectly. Further, no Councillor, other thanthe Mayor, is permitted to give any advice orinstruction to any Council officer includingthe CEO. Also, Mayors write their CEO’sannual performance review. Under the newgovernment legislation, a Mayor could, forexample, instruct a CEO to ensure his stafflook favourably on a doubtful developmentapplication and there might no longer be anyrecord of the directive.

Surely there should be a chorus of outragefrom CEOs since they could be put in anuntenable situation if there is no longer a needto leave a paper trail. In some cases there is avery justifiable need for red tape in theinterests of transparency.

(Just a short appreciation of the many yearsof effort by the Progress Association and itsmembers in the production of the NEWS.Best wishes for success for the new ownerseven though Council Watch is now shorter.)

SCENIC Rim Council has approved adraft Canungra local planning study to

allow for community consultation on thefuture growth of the area.

Planning and Development CommitteeChair, Cr Jennifer Sanders, said the draftstudy proposed an overall vision forCanungra and its immediate surrounds.

“The 20-year draft plan focuses onretaining Canungra’s vibrant villageatmosphere while managing new growthand development in the area,” she said.

“Maintaining the rural lifestyle andcharacter of the village is important toresidents and local businesses, and this hasbeen highlighted as a main priority.”

Key strategies to preserve the rurallifestyle of Canungra – expected to growfrom 700 to 3000 people – are outlined inthe study.

These strategies are:• celebrating Canungra’s heritage and

village lifestyle• improving the main street• supporting local businesses and jobs• providing housing options suitable to a

village lifestyle• walkways to link the area’s main

attractions, and• managing future growth.

Cr Sanders said community consultationon the draft document was expected tobegin towards the end of the year.

Golf Results: TMGC9 Hole Event Thursday 20th SeptemberThe man of many talents, Kristo Bradley shone through by way of acountback from Manfred Karlhuber both on 24 points. Kristo tells ushe only had a mere 226 swing thoughts instead of the usual 327 whichmost of us have just before we take the club away, so playing with a101 less must be a lot easier, I must try it sometime. CongratulationsKristo, bad luck Manfred. Manfred who has a new set of sticks andwas seen swinging very gracefully around the bar after his secondplace. Brad Fox third on 23 points. Nearest the pin on 14 TonyMurphy and Manfred took out the approach on the 12th. Just a wordto our lady members, if you want another day to play on your coursewhy not come along on Thursday and join in, you can play in eitherthe 9 or 18 hole events or both if you so choose, give it a go, the boyswon’t bite!18 Hole Stableford Event Thursday 20th SeptemberFor some reason, not a big field. But the weather was a typical springday, beautiful and the course, just great. Jeez Wayne your a goodgreenkeeper! Glen Antill was the runaway winner with a very goodscore of 41 points but is still wondering how he lost all the skins,funny game this golf. Glenn hit all his drives out of sight and kept theball in play on most holes and deserved his win. Tony Murphy who’sbeen playing some very ordinary golf for the last 6 months, had aquick lesson with our pro Andy Koureas and feels he has beenrejuvenated, tripped into second on 37. Roger Way nearest the pin on5 and George Jones the approach on 3.18 Hole Stableford Event Saturday 22nd SeptemberToday was the left handed challenge and Rob Teasdale not only won

the day but also being a lefty took home all the trophies. Rob playedwith great rhythm and accuracy but putted particularly well. His 41points two ahead of his nearest rival was well deserved, well doneRob, keep it up! Jimmy Dunn took out second from Kristo Bradley ona countback. You needed 37 points to collect a ball. I was approachedby the vice Captain (Twinkle Toes) Dave Strong and asked why Ididn’t report on the Matchplay Championships, (I was out of town).“Why’s that Dave I asked”, “because I won “C” grade” so when thisgiant tells you he wants his name in print, you do it. So here we go,winner of the “A” grade championship Roger Way who defeated JohnStaffsmith, “B” grade Kaleb O’Bree and “C” grade DAVE STRONG.Well done you guys!
