Dont forget its Speed trap Sunday out there! Did you know that Queensland does double demerit point all year and not just in the holidays? If you commit the same offence with a year of the previous one, you get hit with a double whammy of points and fines. Our back roads are notorious for coppers with speed cameras, both mobile and stationary so stay under the 80km, even on those lovely long straights when you can finally get past the tourist doing 40km... that's where the coppers and their cameras like to hang out!!
Numinbah Valley Markets will hold their first 2020 market on Sunday January 5th 2020. Always a great market to wander around, catch up with people and buy local produce and goods. Pop that one in your diary today! 8am to 1pm.
Theres a music afternoon planned already for Australia Day 2020 at the Springbrook Cafe and Bar. Local musicians, local cafe, long weekend. A great combination! Another one for the diary!
The tennis courts have been finished and boy, do they look good!! Pop down for a hit and let us know what you think!
Are the Hoons bothering you? The best way to help the Police deal with this menace is to get a dash cam that can take high quality night time footage as you go through them. Dont think Santa will bring you a dash cam for Christmas? Then pop the hoon reporting number or website into your phone and report each and every incident. The more reports they receive the more resources that will be allocated to this problem. Even if you can only hear them from your place, call or use the website. It all helps and Halfwit Hoon Hollow down on Pine Creek Road is now the next
target for Police. Help them help us!!
Hoon hotline: 134666

The 2020 hall bookings will be open soon with the current bookings getting priority to keep their current slots.

Locals are charged only $13 an hour and all the payment goes to the SMCA and is cycled back into community activities!
The school holidays are here and with it comes the tourists and all their rubbish. It's time to start taking a rubbish collecting bag with you when you're out and about on your walks again...
The Springbrook Local Disaster Management committee has set themselves up a facebook page to supplement the texts that go out during a disaster or crisis. If you do facebook st all check out the page. Springbrook LDMC and follow or like it to stay in the loop.
Storm season is just around the corner which for us here on Springbrook means cut off roads and lots of power cuts. Now that you've got your fire plan sorted, it's a good time to look at your storm plan. Check you have enough medication, water, food, communications and lighting to get you through a couple of unexpected days with out power. Remember last years 3 day outage after a 30 minute storm just three days out from Chritmas?
Don't forget to take the SES tags that the Police put off your letter boxes and rural numbers. Would be very confusing if the Police come to door knock again!
Not keen on social media but want to stay in the loop? Try looking at the My Springbrook webpage. On Sundays it al
has a much more comprehensive list of notices and information as well as the weekly, "This week in Springbrook".
