facilities across Moreton

Bay region as part of a

comprehensive planning

strategy to be developed

by council.Council has launched a

cultural mapping project that

will examine local services

and facilities and consider

the regions future

cultural needs.

Independent consultants

have been engaged to carry

out audits of the cultural

organisations, practitioners,

facilities and services

available in the community.

The project will research

the level of external

funding granted to creative

organisations and projects

in the region. It will also

map trends within the local

creative industry sector.

Community consultation

is a signicant part of the

strategy and residents are

encouraged to provide their

feedback in an online survey

available at councils website

www.moretonbay.qld.gov.au

Stakeholders, including

everyone from creative

industry professionals to

art enthusiasts, will also

have a chance to offer their

thoughts about the cultural

future of the region at face-

to-face sessions to be held

throughout the region. For

public workshop times

and dates go to councils

website.

The information gathered will

be analysed and will assist

with the strategic delivery of

cultural services to the entire

Moreton Bay region.

The cultural mapping project

is expected to be completed

by September.

the project visit

Council sets its strategyCouncil recently helda series of strategicworkshops across theregion to determineits key projects andpriorities for the next

three years.

The issues, programs and

challenges discussed at theworkshops will play a huge

role in shaping Moreton

Bay Regional Councils rst

consolidated budget which

will be adopted in June.

The three strategic

workshops took place across

a three week period at Woody

Point, Woodford and North

Pine, giving councillors the

opportunity to visit andassess the future needs of

different communities across

the region.

During the past year,

council has been dealing

with pressing, day-to-day

amalgamation matters

such as maintaining

service delivery across the

region, addressing an array

of stafng matters and

achieving ongoing savings in

councils operating costs.

The recent workshops

allowed councillors to focuson the future and to set goals

that will make Moreton Bay

region an even better place

to live.

While specic projects and

priorities will be ofcially

unveiled when the budget

is adopted in June, new

infrastructure, economic

development, better essential

services, and improvedservice equity and access are

all on the agenda and will

make the next three years

an exciting period in Moreton

Bay Regional Councils

brief history.

Moreton Bay Regional Council has shown it is committed

to making amalgamation work for its community by

slashing $3.9 million from operational costs during the

rst half of the 2008/09 nancial year.

One of councils goals was to identify and deliver

operational savings straight away and councillors and

staff have worked hard to drive savings and efciencies

while eliminating duplication.

Over the next year council will continue to align the

operational processes of the organisation, setting a

sound platform for building a strong future for Moreton

Bay Regional Council.

$3.9m in savings

Upgrade works on

a reserve at Bunya

are scheduled to be

completed this month,

as part of a number ofcouncil parks projects to

be delivered by June.

Council will spend more

than $430,000 before

the nancial year ends

on upgrading parks

throughout the region,

including Willow Glen

Court Reserve at Bunya,

Dandaloo Park at Arana

Hills, Alf Shaw Park at

Strathpine and Wahminda

Park at Ferny Hills.

New childrens play

equipment, picnic

settings, water bubblers

and pathways will be

constructed as part ofthe works as well as

signicant landscaping.

An additional $375,000

will be spent on

constructing shelters, play

equipment, lighting and

seating at Kal-Ma-Kuta

Park at Ningi and Crest

Park on Bribie Island as

well as revegetation works

and pathways at Petersen

Road Reserve, Morayeld.

Superclinic

announcedGreener pastures

Redcliffe is set to be home

to a new GP Super Clinic,

following substantial

council support for

the project.

The Federal Government-funded clinic will be named

the Moreton Bay Integrated

Care Centre and it will be

built on the Redcliffe

Hospital grounds.

The new facility will

house GPs, nurses, allied

health professionals and

specialists with a focus on

acute care, chronic disease

management and

medical training.

The centre will also

incorporate an after hours

service and a pharmacy.

Council pledged its support

for the project last year,

assisting with the formalproposal for the clinic.

The $17 million project will

help address the health

care needs of the broader

community while taking

pressure off the hospitals

emergency department.

It is also expected to be a

training ground for young

medical professionals.

Construction is due for

completion by early 2011.

Five sports elds in

Redcliffe are to be added to

councils innovative water

saving irrigation system.

The system, which currently

serves more than 20 sports

elds, involves moisture

sensors and rain gauges

that determine the watering

needs of individual elds.

Irrigating those grounds

is then controlled from a

central unit, which means

that if it begins raining

in one area, the sensors

inform the central unit and

irrigation can be altered

accordingly.

The scheme has reduced

water consumption on

Caboolture sports elds by

up to 50 per cent, and it

will be extended to include

Talobilla Park, Rothwell

Park, Langdon Park, Bradley

Park and AJ (Jock) Kelly

Park in Redcliffe.

Adding the Redcliffe elds

to the system is expected

to help bring them into line

with water restriction best

practice compliance targets.

Other elds will be

considered for the irrigation

scheme as funds become

available.

Emergency response and

evacuation procedures

have been tested in an

exercise at Mt Nebo aimed

at ensuring all agencies,

including council, are

prepared in the event of

a bushre.

The exercise, managed

by Queensland Fire andRescue Service (QFRS),

involved a scenario which

required the evacuation of

a local school.

Council ofcers worked

with QFRS, Queensland

Police, State Emergency

Service crews and Parks

and Wildlife rangers to

carry out the emergencyexercise.

The school students were

successfully evacuated to

a safe location and were

entertained by Blazer the

Bear and educational

activities were provided

by QFRS.

QFRS assessed the

exercise including the

operation of the Incident

Coordination Centre.

Moreton Bay Regional

Council participated in

the mock bushre

response efforts as part

of its commitment to

being bushre and

disaster prepared.

Council has also worked

in partnership with QFRS

to deliver free community

information sessions on

bushre preparedness.

MT NEBO EMERGENCYEXERCISE

Council has purchaseda 1,827 sq m block of

land at the corner of

Bunton and Mein Streets,

Scarborough.

The former development

site, which is just a

short walk from popular

Scarborough Beach, has

been lled and will be

temporarily transformedinto a car park.

The site will contain 57

car spaces. A further 10on-street parking bays will

be created around the

sites perimeter.

The additional car spaces

will benet the businesses

at Scarborough Shopping

Village and shoppers

visiting the area.

This new council asset

has the potential to return

signicant benets to the

community in the future.

Council has thrown its

support behind the victims

of the bushres in Victoria

and the oods in far north

Queensland, pledging

$125,000 on behalf of the

community to assist the

recovery efforts.

As the nation banded

together to help the

devastated Victorian

communities rebuild,

council showed its support

by donating $100,000 to

the Red Cross bushre

disaster relief appeal.

Council pledged a further

$25,000 to assist the

ooded communities of far

north Queensland.

Council has a number of

large water infrastructure

projects in the pipeline,

to cater for the predicted

community expansion

and to comply with

environmental regulations.

More than $300 million will

be spent during the next

three years on upgrading

wastewater treatment

plants throughout the

region to ensure a

continued high level of

service is delivered to our

growing population.

Construction works

have just begun on the

$46 million upgrade of

the Burpengary East

Wastewater Treatment

Plant. Once completed,

the facility will have the

capacity to meet the needs

of 50,000 people in nearby

growth areas.

Other wastewater

treatment plants to be

upgraded include the

$152 million project at

Murrumba Downs, where

work is due for completion

in September 2010.

Planning studies are being

carried out to upgrade

the wastewater treatment

plant at Brendale and

construction works at

Caboolture South and

Woodford plants are

scheduled to begin in

September this year.

Work is also well underway

on the installation of new

underground water and

sewerage pipelines in

Kallangur and Dakabin.

This $25 million project

will see new pipes installed

from the Boundary Rd

reservoir to Anzac Avenue,

Kallangur. The project is

scheduled for completion

by July.

Sail away at Suttons Beach

Cabooltures State

Equestrian Centre is

moving ahead at a

galloping pace, following

a Federal Government

funding boost of $1.4

million towards the

new facility.

Detailed design work

has almost been

completed for the 7,000sq m facility which will

feature a 3,200 sq m

indoor arena, a warm-up

area, seating for 1,500

people, amenities, road

works and a car park.

Council has now secured

a total of $3.75 million

in State and Federal

government funding

for the facility. Council

will continue to seek

additional Government

funding for the project.
