Carina Police Station officially opened

January 27, 2012 in Neighbourhood Watch by admin | No comments

Press Release: Police Minister Neil Roberts and Commissioner Bob Atkinson today joined local MPs Steve Kilburn and Cameron Dick for the official opening of the new Carina Police Station.

Mr Roberts said the state-of-the-art facility – at the corner of Narracott Street and Creek Road – would serve as the base for local policing in Carina and surrounding suburbs for many years to come.

“The construction of this new facility was a commitment made by the Bligh Government in the lead-up to the 2009 State Election and we have delivered on that commitment,” Mr Roberts said.

“The station replaces the former Camp Hill Police Station which has been identified by the Police Service as no longer being suitable to meet the needs of the local community.” Read the rest of this entry »

This weekend at Carindale Harvey Norman

November 16, 2011 in Environment, Shopping by admin | No comments

The following is a message received today from GetUp!

This weekend, tens of thousands of Australians will be off to do a bit of shopping. But what most of us haven’t bargained for is that the new bed, desk or kitchen cabinet we purchase comes from the destruction of our precious native forests.

Happily, David, a fellow GetUp member from your area, will be delivering our petition for forest protection to the Carindale Harvey Norman store this weekend.

Can you help out by making sure that the petition is huge by then, so the Carindale manager sees just how much local support there is for ecologically safe products? Read the rest of this entry »
