It looks like Numinbah Forest Park has been slated to close by the powers that be in National Parks. It's a well used and beloved recreational area of both Springbrook and Numinbah residents. There is a petition going around; check for it on change.com and sign it there. Feel free to write to the National Parks and Tourism Ministers as well as our local Member, Ros Bates to express your concerns. Be quick though, there are tenders out now for demolition of the buildings, tables and bbqs already. The plan is to close the area to the public and revegetate it. The problem is lack of funds for staff and maintainance from National Parks and takes away half of Numinbahs available recreation area AND puts more pressure on Springbrooks already overburdened minimal picnicking areas.
Check out the petition on change.org that's been set up to save Numinbah Forest Park from closure. Search in recent petitions for Save Numinbah Forest Park and sign and share if you agree.
Has the parking been a bit out of control in your area over the weekend? Share the entertainment with our local counciller by sending a few photos of the parking and how it affects residents, tourists and bussiness alike. Send Glenn, Keith and Mary-Anne a few photos on so they can see what's happening up here...
The Springbrook Mens Shed is having another Bunnings Sausage Sizzle on Friday March 28th at Nerang. If you are heading down the hill on Friday, pop in and say hi! They love to see Springbrook faces in the hordes as they line up for the onion first, sausage n bread!
Keep an eye out for kids on bikes and mums with prams this week before and after school as we get back into the school year. Its particularly tough as we dont have footpaths on many of our streets and the ones we do have a pretty rough. Also watch for that 40km zone in front of the school. You dont want to get booked there by a speed camera!
Tuck shop at the school operates on a term or weekly basis. Pop into Dancing Waters Cafe and pay for a term of Friday lunches and get a discount or just order and pay weekly when you need it. $5 per lunch, discount on the full term. GF, DF nut free etc all available.
Parents and visitors, please dont park inside the school during drop off and pick up times. It creates an extra hazard for the children to negotiate. Please park next to the school or across the road.
Food Scrap Friday is a community composting initiative run by the school and its P&C. Just bring your bucket of vege food scraps to the gate between 8am and 8.30am and the gardening project kids will weigh it, empty it into their compost heap and rinse the bucket before returning it to you at the gate. A great way to be involved even if you dont have kids at the school.
See you there!
💚Springbrook
