Councillor Jeff McConnell – Division 2 – Scenic Rim
These are my own personal views. I do not purport to speak on behalf of Council.
TAMBORINE PLAYGROUND The new upgraded playground at the Tamborine Memorial Hall is finally opened and is already a huge success with the local children. The new equipment included more climbing and coordination structures as well as a birds nest swing for the younger kids. We have also placed some sandstone blocks closer to the playground for the parents to sit on.
RIEMORE PLAYGROUNDS and FOOTPATH I am currently working on the promised Riemore Playgrounds and walking tracks and have had talks with the developer and I am meeting with Council Officers on 21 July to expedite the process. This important community infrastructure has been promised for some time and is one of my number one priorities for Riemore residents. Unfortunately, the footpath from Riemore to the village along the Beaudesert Beenleigh Rd was not successful in our application for a Community Stimulus Program grant, but I will keep trying to find the funding.
COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL GRANTS Council’s grants are now open with Minor (up to $5,000) and Major (up to $20,000) Community grants open until 30 July for Community Groups. Contact the Council Grants officer Lacey on 5540 5111 for more information.
BUDGET Council has adopted its 2021-2022 Budget and again it was a difficult task of managing the needs of the Community for more services and better roads and the need to improve the working of Council. This year we published the new initiatives as a separate attachment to the Budget so that the additional spending was more open. I am happy to discuss the Budget at any time and will be scheduling a community meeting in the coming months.
