A great surprise tonight! Just for going along to the community forum and registering with Power Purchasing Group, I get an opportunity to lower my power bill by around 10% (I am an international ‘Certified Purchasing Manager’, so I know a good opportunity when I see one.)

And great information from the heart foundation. Glad they explained about who to give or not give the aspirin to.

Thankyou for advertising my need for a venue. I have now found one. I plan to begin running Adult Art Classes from the Coorparoo Presbyterian Church Hall weekly from 10am to 12:30pm in April.

I’m looking forward to the 2012 series of community forums at the Belmont State School.
I’ve found the forums to be a great way to meet my neighbours and have an informal chat over a cuppa, after listening to a speaker presenting topics of local interest.

Comment on Cycling – the newbie journey begins by Peter Lane-Collett

I am looking to hire a hand-cycle and am hoping to use the bike paths around Carindale. If it works out, I’ll look into buying one. I’ve lived in the area for more than 30 years but know nothing of where the bike paths go.

Comment on [updated] Carindale bus station – park and ride facilities? by Hayley

Hayley — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 00:50:35 +0000

I think it would be worthwhile to look at the root cause of this issue, and not rush into bandaid fixes like the park and ride proposed. The current sitaution has been caused by a lack of funds for public transport and a subsequent reduction in the quality and frequency of services. The council decreased funding from $231 million in 2009-2010 to $205 million in the 2010-2011 budget period. Council bus services are simply not being expanded to meet extra demand from outer areas, so these commuters end up at carindale.

As Deputy Mayor and Chairman of the Economic and Finance Committee, Schinner is well aware of these funding issues. It seems that Schinner and Minnikin are seeking shift blame to the state government, thereby avoiding the appearance that the LNP in council has anything to do with the current situation.

I would rather petition for extra funding for transport services, than see millions of dollars spent on the temporary solution a park and ride offers.
