Springbrook Community Notices

The Springbrook Mens Shed has reopened with standard Covidsafe rules. They operate Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 9amish to 1pmish with morning tea 10.30ish. They open and close on mountain time! If you're a bloke on the mountain and you havent dropped in to see the biggest shed in this small village, then make a date to do that this week and see what all the fuss is about. You'll be most welcome!

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 am and a 5 year old in tow...

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.

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. Have a look on the My Springbrook webpage under Climb a Tree Foundation for more details. www.lovespringbrook.blogspot.com

The Springbrook Visitor Infomation Center is reopening again this weekend. 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! 

Our local emergency crews have had a lot of call outs recently so give them a heartfelt, corona safe, elbow bump next time you see one. There's been quite a few accidents on the roads (please, slow down) and they get to attend most of them. Thanks for getting out of bed, having your dinners interrupted and leaving your family's special times to help us out. Its appreciated. 

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. Collected 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!

*Wednesday, gardening day 8.30am
*Thursday, Yoga 8.15pm
*Friday, Food scrap Friday Community Composting 8.30am.
