Nice to see some rain! A good reminder to make sure you are storm ready and have fresh batteries in your torches! Storms often lead to loss of power up here so make sure you are on the disaster managements text list and that you "like" them on facebook to get up to date, real time local info about any kind of disaster we maybe experiancing!
If you see any trees down across the roads, please call the TMR emergency line for Dpringbrook Road and the City of Gold Coast emergency line for the smaller Roads. They will send someone up fairly quickly to deal with it. Technically, our local guys cant deal with trees on the road until directed to by decorative epilet wearing persons!
Check out the Notice board at the Springbrook Emporium (the tip) for local services and tradies. A great place to find out what's on, what's happening and who's selling what. It's a fantastic community resource!
The Springbrook Craft group has started up for 2020. They meet at 10am at the Lost Fawn Cafe. Any Craft and crafters welcome and dont forget they belive that drinking coffee and eating cake is also a craft in itself!
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!!
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 are open now with the current bookings getting priority to keep their current slots. If you are thinking of using the hall in 2020 for any groups, classes or other fun activities, email the hall manager on springbrookhall@gmail.com for a booking form. 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
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
has a much more comprehensive list of notices and information as well as the weekly, "This week in Springbrook".
