DIVISION 11 WELL REPRESENTED AT AUSTRALIA DAY AWARDS
The 2015 Moreton Bay Region Australian Day Awards held recently saw two of the winners coming from Division 11. Dayboro Mens Shed (represented by Ben Stafford) won the Community Event Award for their work in support of mens health and Kobble Creek resident, Damien O’Flaherty took out the sportsman of the year award for his continued mentorship of young people in martial arts and providing self-defence classes to help reduce bullying. Colourful fundraiser Tony "top hat" Moroney from Woodford was named Citizen of the Year.
Students from Mt Samson State School have championed green thinking by recycling more than 4,000 litres of waste as part of Moreton Bay Regional Council’s waste minimisation program.
Welcome to my first column for 2015. I hope that all the Dayboro Grapevine readers have had an enjoyable Christmas/New Year and that those of you who have had the opportunity to holiday are now refreshed and looking forward to the year ahead.
Children at eight local schools will learn from highly skilled and experienced teachers from next year as part of the Queensland Government’s Master Teachers initiative.
Residents and tourists will soon have access to multi-use trails at Lake Samsonvale (North Pine Dam) following a $68,000 funding injection by the Queensland Government.
Member for Pine Rivers, Mr Seath Holswich, said the establishment of the new trails and a new car parking area at Kobble Creek would encourage more walkers, trail runners, mountain bikers and horse riders to the area.
