Agenda Item #5 Matters of Public Interest

Brand new bush food garden at Kilcoy State High School
Despite the wet weather, an enthusiastic crowd from the Kilcoy community group showed up with smiles on their faces to see the new site for the Kilcoy State High School bush food community garden. The development of this project is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the importance of the Jinibara people as part of the rich history of the Kilcoy region.
This project is a collaborative effort of the local community group, Healthy Land & Water, and the local school. Students from the agriculture program, along with their teachers, Liz Carter and Karen Martin, are in the process of designing the garden and will be planting carefully selected bushfood plants in this space.

Greg and Andrea Huglin Movie Making Magic with Noosa Film Academy – proudly an RADF Project

Andrea said “I always say Community Filmmaking is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get!  On Saturday I think we got phenomenal acting and I thought the story developed was extremely entertaining”.   Due to a family member’s ill health I was unable to attend any of the RADF funded community filmmaking.  I wish to thank Cr Wendt for attending most of the filmmaking sessions held at our schools located at Lowood, Toogoolawah, Kilcoy and finally the community filmmaking day at Fernvale.  I especially enjoy watching our young leaders working with the camera and the action que.  I am sure a great deal of experience and knowledge was shared by all those involved.

Thank you SRC and CEO Andrew. This unthinkable situation must be improved for Kilcoy and the travelling public!⛔️Council condemns bridge inspection delays, calls for urgent policy overhaul⛔️Council has slammed Transport and Main Roads Queensland for delaying the reopening of a major highway bridge for more than 24 hours after floodwaters had receded.Kilcoy Creek Bridge on the D’Aguilar Highway was inundated with slow-moving floodwaters at 9pm on Monday, 16 December, yet remained closed until 7.10am on Wednesday, 18 December—despite being cleared of water by 6.30am on Tuesday.Council Chief Executive Officer Andrew Johnson said the delay was unacceptable and had caused unnecessary disruption and risk to our community. “Leaving the bridge closed under traffic control and police guard for more than 24 hours is an outrageous waste of taxpayer dollars,” he said.

Totally unacceptable what transpired in Kilcoy! DTMR need to explain why their structure, when inundated by flood water must be inspected by an engineer before the newly replaced bridge can be reopened to the public. DTMR must be accountable to offering (past) assurances that this mandatory process would no longer apply to the new improved structure. The integrity of the previous wooden structure had to be inspected by an engineer prior to reopening to the public, we understood that need. We, the Kilcoy community and the travelling public need an explanation why this process is still valid, and what will occur with future flooding events in Kilcoy?The "road closed" route - Winya Road, Mt Kilcoy Road and Kennedy Street is not desirable. The clock monument roundabout is a challenge for long vehicles to negotiate, and not to mention all the residents impacted by this decision. The fact that all affected traffic travel over Walsh's Crossing and the council bridge that has the same flood waters flow beneath it beggars belief.There was community antagonism at the time of the DTMR bridge replacement, and unfortunately this issue was part of the resistance.Enough is enough. ...
