Springbrook Community Notices

Nerang-Murwillumbah road upgrade ideas, suggestions and recommendations can be sent to your state representative, Ros Bates on mudgeeraba@parliament.qld.gov.au or direct to TMR via their web page. Send maps with the dangerous corners clearly marked, areas for overtaking bays and other road issues to them sooner rather than later so they can be considered before the final plan is unveiled.

 Springbrook School is now collecting plastic bottle tops and toothbrushes to be recycled into new and exciting things. Collect them up (give them a bit of a rinse) and drop them off at the school gate on Friday mornings between 8.30am and 9am. It would be great if the cafes could set aside a bucket to collect them as well and help divert landfill back into a useful life!

The Springbrook Chamber of Commerce have an AGM meeting on Tuesday 11th August, 7.30pm at the hall. All local business owners welcome. For more info contact them on info@explorespringbrook.com

Have you seen the new environmental  initiative that's being started by members of our mountain community? Sarah and Keiran have created Climb a Tree Foundation to help spread all sorts of environmental and sustainable  ideas and projects around. You can join as foundation members or support the go fund me page to make and install wildlife nesting boxes in fire affected areas.

 The Springbrook Visitor Infomation Center has reopened again in the weekends. Peter will he there on Sunday to greet and help out our visitors from 11amish to 2pmish, mountain time. The Centre is always looking for volunteers. Call Annette on 0427 415 299 to volunteer.  Its heaps of fun!

The Afternoon Amblers are trying out Velvert Downs Road for their walks at the moment. They meet at the Telstra Exchange on the corner of Springbrook and Velvet Downs road about 3.30pm to walk as far as they can (at their own pace) for half an hour before returning. Bring a brolly. It rains at 4pm on Thursdays. Just ask them!

Please, please please, slow down in front of the school. Its starting to get quite dangerous outside the school during drop off and pick up times, and is concerning all those there at the time. It's most likely to be locals at that time of the day too. Please, slow down. Its a hard enough road to cross with out a bag, or pram and a 5 year old in tow...

*Springbrook Research Observatory is opening again in the weekends, weather permitting, for us all to gaze in wonder at the stars in our gloriously dark sky. Call Andre on 0400 789 551 and check if he is operating that night and book in quickly if he is. It's a fantastic opportunity to see the night sky through an astronomers eyes!

*The Springbrook Community Hall is open for bookings again. The restrictions only allow 20 people maximum at a time but that's an ideal  for small groups and workshops. Give Kara a call on 0413979271 if you want to make a booking. Only $13 per hour for locals!

*Have you got one of Ros Bates' many post cards asking our opinion on the Cableway, raising the Austinville causeway and about visitor signage at Springbrook yet? If so, fill it out and return it this week. If not, feel free to text 0499855169 or email mudgeeraba@parliament.qld.gov.au and (politely) express your feelings on any or all of these issues. Be an active voice in the community and have your view heard.
