Ipswich residents can expect greener gardens and better services as Mayor Teresa Harding unveiled major updates from Ipswich City Council during her weekly segment on West Bremer Radio
Free Green Bin Rollout BeginsMore than 55,000 households across Ipswich are receiving a new garden waste bin as part of Council’s three-bin service rollout, beginning July 1. Funded in part by the State Government, the green bin is free to residents and aims to divert up to 20,000 tonnes of waste from landfill each year.
“It’s a massive logistics exercise,” Mayor Harding said. “But this shift is vital for the environment and will save Ipswich ratepayers around $1 million annually.”
The rollout will help reduce the financial burden of the State Government’s landfill levy, which is increasing to $125 per tonne this year. Without the green bin program, households could have faced a steeper rise in costs.
Help Shape Ipswich’s Western Growth CorridorIpswich City Council is also calling on residents to have their say on the future of the Western Growth Corridor, including Walloon, Rosewood and Thagoona, which is set to see thousands of new homes over the next 20 years.
“This area was earmarked for growth back in 2006,” Harding said. “Now that housing is booming and transport access is improving, we want the community to guide how this growth unfolds.”
The community survey is open until July 13 at ShapeYourIpswich.com.au
Spring Mountain Scores Big With New ClubhouseResidents and sports lovers in Spring Mountain have something to celebrate with the opening of the brand-new Silver Jubilee Clubhouse, officially launched last week.
The $3.5 million facility features modern change rooms, a referee’s room, medical space, a canteen, and commercial-grade kitchen — funded jointly by Ipswich City Council and the Federal Government.
A family open day will be held this Saturday, with games from the Springfield Lakes Hawks and activities for all.
Empowering Youth Through Project BooyahMayor Harding also commended the work of Project Booyah, a joint initiative between Queensland Police, PCYC, and community partners helping at-risk youth find purpose and direction.
“It was great to host some of the young women in Council chambers,” Harding shared. “The program is having a real impact on their confidence and futures.”
From sustainability efforts to community-led planning and youth development, Ipswich City Council continues to shape a future-ready region — with input from the very people who call it home.

A new transport solution is shaking up how people with disability and aged care needs get around Ipswich and beyond — and it’s called Get Picked Up.
Featured on this week’s All Ability Hour on West Bremer Radio, Queensland State Manager Naren joined hosts at Focal Community Services to share how the rapidly growing service is providing safe, reliable and affordable transport for people with additional needs across Australia.
“We focus on transport only,” Naren said. “Our goal is to give people with disability and aged care needs a consistent and caring alternative to traditional taxis or rideshare services.”
Operating across the Ipswich region and all metro areas nationwide, Get Picked Up supports people with mobility issues, including those using wheelchairs, and is fully compatible with NDIS and aged care home package funding. Riders can also pay out of pocket if needed.
What sets Get Picked Up apart is its 24/7 customer service, prepaid system, and a ‘preferred driver’ option — allowing clients to choose drivers they trust. All drivers undergo police checks, NDIS screening, and specific training to support those with additional needs.
“We had one young man with autism who was traumatised by a previous taxi experience,” Narin recalled. “Our driver worked gently with him over time — now he’s riding confidently and independently again.”
The service has already helped more than 500 Queenslanders in its first year of operation in the state and is scaling up rapidly.

Whether it’s a trip to a medical appointment, the shops or a social outing, Get Picked Up is proving to be a much-needed solution for accessible transport in Ipswich and beyond.

“It started with Tuesdays and tarts, and now we’re showcasing years of creativity and friendship,” said Risson. “We even have a few ‘free-ends’ joining us – including local artist Leanne Walker and my brother!”
A Celebration of Local Legends and Lost Friends
The exhibition also features a special tribute to Jane Davis, a founding member and respected artist who passed away. Several of Jane’s mosaics and artworks will be on display, with thanks to her husband Gary.
“Jane was the heart of the Tarts,” said Mardi Keane. “Her legacy lives on through her work and the bonds she helped create.”
Interactive and Immersive Exhibition
Unlike traditional galleries, this exhibit will be interactive:
- Live art-making by the Tuesday Tarts every Wednesday during the exhibition
- Mini workshops including $5 ceramic painting sessions with Mardi
- Live storytelling sessions with Toni, where visitors can share a secret and receive a short story in return

Community Collective Brings Big Sound and Bigger Talent to the Heart of the City
IPSWICH, QLD – A local musical movement is striking a chord with Ipswich residents, as Ken and Lisa from the Ipswich Live Music Collective continue their mission to reignite the city’s live music scene.
Speaking on West Bremer Radio’s Get Your Arts in Gear, the duo shared their vision: creating more performance opportunities for local musicians and singers, and drawing crowds back into the city with high-quality, themed live shows.
“There’s a real gap since COVID,” Ken said. “Fewer venues are hosting live bands — many have replaced them with DJs or solo acts. We’re bringing that magic back.”
This Weekend: Postmodern Cabaret at the Hotel Commonwealth
Their latest event, Postmodern Cabaret, is set for this Saturday night at the newly refurbished Hotel Commonwealth. For just $15, audiences can expect a dazzling show featuring jazz-era renditions of modern hits, in the style of Postmodern Jukebox.
“It’s a $70 show for $15,” Ken added. “We keep it affordable and inclusive while showcasing amazing talent.”
The event will feature a performance by the Ipswich RSL Stage Band and the Knockout Collective — the group’s house band — accompanied by a rotating lineup of local vocalists.
A Launchpad for Local Talent
In the past year, over 200 singers have joined the Knockout Collective on stage. From student vocalists to seasoned musicians returning after a break, the initiative fosters collaboration and community.
“We’ve even had Cambrian Choir members, Ipswich City Band musicians, and RSL horn players jump in,” said Ken. “We’re a bridge between the different music communities in Ipswich.”
Auditions for new vocalists and musicians are ongoing, and the group encourages anyone interested to reach out via their Facebook page: Ipswich Live Music.
Event Details:
- What: Postmodern Cabaret – A Live Music Showcase
- When: Saturday night (check Facebook for exact date/time)
- Where: Hotel Commonwealth, Ipswich
- Tickets: $15 online or at the door
- Contact: Search Ipswich Live Music on Facebook
“We want locals to stay in Ipswich, not head to Brisbane or the Coast for entertainment,” Lisa said. “And we’re seeing people travel into Ipswich now — that’s the turnaround we wanted.”
So grab your tickets, dust off your dancing shoes, and prepare to swing into a night of timeless tunes with a modern twist — right here in Ipswich.

Ipswich Breaks Economic Records, Launches Major Community and Infrastructure Projects
IPSWICH, QLD — Ipswich’s economy has hit an all-time high, surging past the $15 billion mark in gross regional product (GRP), defying national and state economic trends and cementing its status as one of Queensland’s fastest-growing regions.
Speaking to West Bremer Radio, Mayor Teresa Harding revealed that Ipswich’s GRP climbed to $15.08 billion, a 4.2% increase from the previous year. That growth rate outpaces not only the Queensland average of 2.9% but also key regional neighbours including Moreton Bay, Logan, the Gold Coast and Townsville.
“We’re punching well above our weight,” Mayor Harding said. “Our economy is growing faster than almost every comparable city in the state.”
Jobs and Infrastructure Drive the Surge
With population growth doubling over the next 20 years, the council has set an ambitious jobs target of 95,000 by 2027 as part of its Economic Development Strategy. Over the past year, 500 new jobs have already been created.
Key developments include a $15 million refurbishment of the Riverview Resource Recovery Centre, and community initiatives such as the Healthy and Active Program, which engaged nearly 30,000 residents in low-cost fitness and wellness activities last year.
“We’re seeing improvements in both physical and mental health through this program,” Harding said, noting 79% of participants reported improved fitness and 64% felt mentally better.
Tip Maintenance and Patience Requested
The Riverview Resource Recovery Centre will undergo essential maintenance from June 16 to late August, reducing its capacity temporarily. Residents are encouraged to visit the Rosewood facility during this time or delay large disposals.
“The work will extend the centre’s life by 20 years,” Mayor Harding said. “We thank residents in advance for their patience.”
Local Legend Honoured
Mayor Harding also congratulated Martin Shaw, chair of Wounded Heroes, who was honoured with a Queensland Day Local Legend Award for his work supporting veterans in crisis.
“Martin and his team are there for our veterans in their most difficult moments, providing real-time, on-the-spot support,” Harding said.
Events Keep Rolling in Ipswich
Despite the winter chill, the city is alive with activity, including recent hits like the Muscle in Maculata car show and Winternationals drag racing. With the Ipswich Cup just around the corner, residents can expect more colour, horsepower and community spirit.
“It’s a great time to be in Ipswich,” Harding said. “There’s something happening every weekend—and we’re only getting started.”

Local Police Encourage Public to Recognise Everyday Heroes
Ipswich residents are being encouraged to show their appreciation this Wednesday, June 11, as part of Thank a First Responder Day — a national day dedicated to recognising the dedication and sacrifice of Australia’s first responders and their families.
Senior Constable Kerrin Sheedy, speaking on West Bremer Radio’s Crime Watch segment, highlighted the significance of the day, describing it as a vital opportunity for the community to acknowledge the “ordinary people with extraordinary spirit” who step forward during crisis and emergency.
“From those responding to disasters, road crashes and rescues, to our furry companions in the police dog squad, and the emergency call-takers who stay calm in the toughest moments — every one of them deserves our thanks,” Sheedy said.
Support Includes Families Behind the Front Lines
Beyond the men and women in uniform, the day also honours the families and loved ones who support first responders behind the scenes. “They sacrifice so much while their loved ones are out protecting the community — they’re part of the team too,” Sheedy added.
A Simple Thank You Goes a Long Way
Whether it’s a friendly wave, a kind word, or a post on social media, small gestures of gratitude can have a powerful impact. “Appreciation doesn’t need to be loud to be powerful,” Sheedy noted. “Just let them know they’re seen and valued.”
Celebrating Service at Ripley Valley Fire Brigade
The Crime Watch segment also spotlighted the 30th anniversary of the Ripley Valley Rural Fire Service, where West Bremer Radio joined in the celebrations with a live broadcast and some hands-on fun — including virtual reality firefighting demos and a top-notch sausage sizzle.

Local Physio Clinic Offers Life-Changing Exercise Programs for Chronic Conditions
Ipswich, QLD – Bertram Physiotherapy is delivering a fresh approach to managing chronic health conditions, launching innovative group programs to support locals living with osteoarthritis and type 2 diabetes.
Speaking on West Bremer Radio’s All Ability Hour live from the Arts Connect Community Gallery at Booval Fair, Andrew from Bertram Physio introduced the internationally successful GLAD program — a Danish-designed initiative aimed at reducing the impact of hip and knee osteoarthritis.
“We’re seeing up to a 30% reduction in pain for participants,” said Andrew. “This program has helped people avoid unnecessary surgeries and live fuller lives simply through targeted, supervised exercise.”
GLAD — which stands for Good Life with Arthritis: Denmark — was developed after Denmark’s national health system sought alternatives to costly and invasive surgery. Now used globally, the program runs in Ipswich as a seven-week, small group class, with support from La Trobe University.
Diabetes Support Program Empowers Locals
The segment also featured Exercise Physiologist Steve Royal, who outlined Bertram Physio’s Type 2 Diabetes Exercise Program.
“The goal is to help people take back control of their health,” said Steve. “We tailor small-group sessions focused on safe, effective strength and aerobic training — which are key in managing blood sugar levels.”
The program complements GP management plans and offers up to eight group sessions per year, often covered under Medicare or private health insurance.
How to Get Involved
Both programs are now available at Bertram Physiotherapy on Blackstone Road, near 7-Eleven. Interested locals can:
- Call: (07) 3202 1122
- Email: info@bertramphysiotherapy.com.au
- Visit: www.bertramphysiotherapy.com.au
“It’s about community wellbeing,” said host Sparky. “These programs are cost-effective, professionally run, and proven to make a real difference.”

Long-running club showcases members’ work at Arts Connect Community Gallery and invites new shutterbugs to join
The Ipswich Photography Society, one of Australia’s oldest photography clubs, is marking a major milestone — 132 years since its founding in 1893 — with a public exhibition at the Arts Connect Community Gallery in Booval Fair.
Speaking on Get Your Arts in Gear on West Bremer Radio, Society member Daryl shared the club’s pride in its heritage and ongoing relevance.

“Most people join to improve their photography. We don’t do formal training, but we learn a lot through monthly photo judging nights with professionals from the Photographic Society of Queensland.”
In addition to competition nights, members enjoy social coffee mornings, photo walks, and even interstate trips. The group recently travelled to Norfolk Island for a week of creative inspiration.
Get InvolvedNew members are encouraged to connect via the Ipswich Photography Society’s website or by visiting the Arts Connect Community Gallery to pick up an information flyer.

Arts Connect and Community Groups Flock to Booval Fair
Thanks to support from Booval Fair Shopping Centre, the Community Gallery has quickly become a hub for creatives. Arts Connect is leading the charge, with a rotating calendar of community groups using the space — including Ipswich Photography Club, Tuesday Tarts, Ipswich Girls Grammar, and the Bremer Catchment Group.
Operating Monday to Saturday from 9:30am to 2:00pm, the gallery invites the public to visit, view local artworks, and engage with the creative process.
Local Artists Shine in Regional Shows

“Artists from our region are absolutely blitzing it,” Smith said. “It’s great to see Ipswich talent getting the recognition it deserves.”
More to Come
With the new venue already proving popular, Smith teased that more guest interviews and community involvement are on the way. “We’re excited — this is just the beginning,” he said.

Mount Crosby Overpass Damaged by Wind Turbine Collision
Traffic chaos followed after a wind turbine became lodged under the Mount Crosby Road overpass last Friday. Cr Martin confirmed northbound traffic has resumed with restrictions. “Damage was significant, and the irony wasn’t lost—most of it occurred right beneath the clearance sign,” he joked. While emergency repairs are ongoing, Cr Martin called for long-term action: “Let’s expedite the long-discussed interchange upgrade. It’s vital for freight and everyday commuters.”
Call for Infrastructure Progress
With traffic impacts continuing and freight routes compromised, Cr Martin reiterated the urgent need to prioritise the new interchange project. “The current delays highlight why investment in better road infrastructure is so important,” he said.

Senior Constable Kerryn Sheedy of the Ipswich District Crime Prevention Unit joined West Bremer Radio for the weekly Crime Watch segment, where she praised the efforts of the district’s 10 active VIPs. “They’re an incredible support for our general duties officers and provide an invaluable connection between police and the community,” she said.

Saturday’s All Ability Hour on West Bremer Radio featured a passionate guest from the disability sector, Maddie from Dignity and Transition Support Services (DATSS), who shared insights into the organisation’s inclusive approach and her personal journey within the industry.
Hosted by DJ Sparky and Patti from Focal Community Services, the show shone a light on the vital work being done to support people living with disabilities in Ipswich and beyond.

Ipswich’s creative community is buzzing with activity this week, as a powerful new environmental art exhibition launches and preparations for the Ipswich Show reach their peak.
Toowoomba-based artist Monica den Hertog has unveiled her debut solo exhibition The Air We Share at the Ipswich Community Gallery, a thought-provoking collection addressing global air pollution through layered conceptual photography. The exhibition officially opened Wednesday, with an opening night set for Saturday, 17 May at 5pm, followed by an artist talk on 24 May at 2pm.
“My work uses photography layered with pollution to symbolically represent what’s in the air we breathe,” Monica explained on West Bremer Radio’s Get Your Arts Into Gear. “It’s a soft way to get people thinking about hard truths.”
Monica, who grew up with asthma and a deep appreciation for the environment, hopes to spark conversation about global air quality and lifestyle-driven emissions. “According to the World Health Organization, 99% of the world is breathing unhealthy air. That’s a terrifying statistic.”

Division 1 Councillor Pye Augustine confirmed this week that new infrastructure, including lawn beams and an Islamic burial section, is being finalised.
“Stage one saw upgraded entry gates, road improvements and additional seating,” Councillor Augustine said. “Now, with stage two almost complete, this expansion reflects our commitment to inclusivity and community needs.”
The expansion follows strong community consultation, with overwhelming support for the improvements. Locals are encouraged to visit and view the completed works soon.
Also highlighted this week was the launch of the latest Ipswich Tourism Guide, showcasing the best attractions across the region. Division 1 features prominently with nature trails such as the White Rock Conservation Area and luxury experiences like Spicers Hidden Vale in Grandchester.
“If you’re seeking adventure, Valhalla Paintball in Calvert is a must-visit,” said Councillor Augustine. “It’s great fun—and maybe we’ll even see a West Bremer Radio vs. Council paintball challenge one day!”
Councillor Augustine also reflected on this year’s Anzac Day commemorations, praising students for their respectful services. She attended ceremonies at Redbank Plains High, Staines Memorial, Fernbrooke, and Ripley Valley Secondary College.

State Member for Bundamba, Lance McCallum, joined West Bremer Radio this week to dissect a dramatic week in Queensland Parliament and look ahead to a pivotal federal election.
McCallum described Wednesday’s scenes in Parliament as “extraordinary,” after the government lost a vote aimed at silencing their own Treasurer, David Janetzki. The Treasurer was under pressure over the Kaleida Power Station explosion, with Opposition Leader Steven Miles asking a simple yes or no question about whether Janetzki had seen photos from the day. “Apparently binary propositions are not his strong suit,” McCallum quipped.
Closer to home, McCallum expressed frustration over the delay in delivering more than $30 million worth of expanded bus services promised for Ipswich in last year’s budget. “The funding’s there, but the tenders only opened this month,” he said. “Our growing community deserves better.”
On a lighter note, McCallum welcomed Opposition Leader Steven Miles to the Western Spirit Football Club, supporting Labor’s call to continue $200 FairPlay sports vouchers in the upcoming state budget. “These vouchers help families, boost club numbers and get kids active—it’s a no-brainer,” he said.
With transport delays, political blunders, and federal election tensions rising, McCallum’s message was clear: the community needs action, not excuses. “We’re here to keep the pressure on,” he said.

Ipswich artist Damien J. Johnson has struck gold with his latest country single One Hill Town, climbing into the Top 30 on the Tasmanian music charts for three consecutive weeks.
Appearing on Get Your Arts into Gear on West Bremer Radio, Damien shared the story behind the track, a heartfelt nod to his regional upbringing in Bundaberg. “One Hill Town is about my hometown – it’s a real place, and it only has one hill, the Hummock,” he explained.
Known for his eclectic musical talents, Damien balances two music careers: his country work under Damien J. Johnson and his electronic pop-rock project under the name DAMIEN (all caps). Despite his success in the country genre, Damien is no stranger to Ipswich’s broader arts scene, having also trained as a pastor and previously performed gospel music.
Host Glenn Smith and DJ Sparky joked about Damien’s diverse talents, reminiscing about his early music shared on SoundCloud and his past performances at Ipswich Central Baptist Church—now Studio 188.
Damien treated listeners to a live acoustic performance of One Hill Town during the show, marking its first live radio appearance. The track is available for streaming across all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon.
In addition to One Hill Town, Damien recently re-released his electronic single Hot Days under his DAMIEN brand, offering fans a taste of his darker, synth-driven style.

The latest edition of the All Ability Hour on West Bremer Radio featured a lively and informative discussion led by DJ Sparky and Patty from Focal Community Services.
Special guest Adam from My Plan Partners returned to the program to dive deeper into the changes around Short-Term Accommodation (STA), commonly known as respite. Adam explained that STA provides a temporary break for both participants and their carers, but recent updates from October 2023 have altered what’s covered.
Notably, food, groceries, and travel to and from accommodation are no longer included in STA funding unless it’s a group setting. Importantly, individuals living independently or in Supported Independent Living (SIL) arrangements may no longer qualify for STA under the updated guidelines. Adam emphasized the need for participants to check their NDIS plans and speak with their plan managers for clarification before booking any STA services.
Following the STA discussion, Patty highlighted World Health Day with nine simple daily wellness tips. These included drinking plenty of water, moving regularly, eating smartly, taking time to breathe, talking it out when stressed, accepting help, enjoying hobbies, connecting with others, and ensuring proper rest.
Patty stressed the importance of balance: “It’s not about being perfect — just making small changes that make a big difference.”
Listeners were reminded that maintaining mental and physical health is vital and that taking small steps each day can lead to a healthier, happier life.
The All Ability Hour wrapped up with a teaser for next week’s show, promising more helpful tips and community updates.
Stay tuned every Saturday afternoon to West Bremer Radio for the All Ability Hour, celebrating inclusivity, community support, and wellbeing.

School holiday crowds and Easter festivities aren’t slowing things down at Limelight Cinemas, with a fresh line-up of films offering everything from suspense to sweetness—and a dose of Australian heroism.
Lex from Limelight joined DJ Sparky on The Brekkie Club to preview what’s playing on the big screen this week. First up is Drop, a tense thriller following a single mother whose casual date turns nightmarish when she begins receiving cryptic AirDropped messages forcing her into a high-stakes game to save her children. “It’s a wild ride—suspenseful and full of twists,” Lex said.
For something heartwarming, The Penguin Lessons is a must. Based on a true story, it follows a teacher who rescues a penguin from an oil slick—only for the penguin to follow him everywhere, forming an unlikely and touching friendship. “It’s sweet, wholesome, and perfect for the whole family,” Lex added.
On the horror front, Sinners sees twin brothers—played by Michael Jordan—returning to their hometown only to be haunted by an even greater evil than the past they tried to escape.
Also screening is Warfare, a gritty, immersive look at modern conflict through the eyes of American Navy SEALs on a mission gone wrong. Directed by Alex Garland (Civil War, 28 Days Later), it’s a raw and powerful story of brotherhood and survival.
Rounding out the line-up is The Correspondent, an Aussie drama based on the true story of journalist Peter Greste’s arrest in Cairo. The film dives into themes of press freedom, political corruption, and personal resilience.
Limelight is open right through Easter (including Good Friday), with family favourites like Minecraft, Dogman, Snow White, and King of Kings still playing.

Local theatre lovers are in for a thrilling night out as Ipswich Little Theatre launches its latest production, The Perfect Murder—a gripping stage adaptation of crime author Peter James’ popular novella
Directed by long-time theatre veteran Ian Puller and co-directed by his wife Helen, the production has already seen strong ticket sales, prompting the addition of an extra matinee performance. Puller, who has been with the theatre for 58 years and involved in over 70 productions, said the play brings a perfect balance of mystery, suspense, and a touch of humour.
Based on the early career of detective Roy Grace—James’ beloved fictional sleuth—the story centres around a chilling murder plot with plenty of twists and turns. “It’s not a comedy, but it has its moments,” Puller explained. “It’s all about whether the killer gets away with it. Is it really the perfect murder?”
The show features a mix of seasoned performers and fresh talent, including newcomer Sean Gibson, a graduate of the theatre’s Young Theatricals program, making his mainstage debut as the young Roy Grace.
“It’s incredible to see the next generation coming through,” Puller said. “Places like Ipswich Little Theatre are where careers begin.”
Helen Puller, a key figure in the theatre’s operations and long-time secretary, has been instrumental in both the production and the ongoing upkeep of the iconic venue, which recently underwent a $400,000 roof upgrade.
The Perfect Murder is playing now at Ipswich Little Theatre, with tickets just $25—making it one of the most affordable nights out in town. Bookings can be made online by searching “Ipswich Little Theatre.”
With a gripping story, stellar cast, and strong community spirit, The Perfect Murder is not to be missed.

Ipswich’s creative and history-loving communities are being called on to uncover and share the stories of Rosewood in a new video competition as part of the Australian Heritage Festival
Local arts advocate Glen Smith and guest Jenny from the Rosewood History Group joined Get Your Arts in Gear on West Bremer Radio to officially launch Rosewood Unearthed—a storytelling project inviting residents and students to create short films exploring the town’s past.
Inspired by popular YouTuber “Walk About with Rob,” who’s also presenting a live talk at Rosewood Library on April 26, the competition encourages people to capture local history in up to five minutes of video. Whether it’s a tale about a historic building, a family memory, or even a touch of Rosewood shenanigans, all stories are welcome.
“It doesn’t have to be polished—just passionate,” said Jenny. “You can film it on your phone and upload it to your YouTube channel, then submit the link via rosewoodhistory.au.”
The competition is free to enter and open to all Australians, with bonus prizes available for entries from within Ipswich. The top prize? A generous $500, sponsored by local businesses including PRD Realty, Bougens Electrical, George’s Garage, and the Rosewood Hotel—all of which have their own historic backstories.
“Everyone’s got a story,” said Jenny. “And this is a great way to preserve local history for future generations.”
Submissions are open now and close on May 18, aligning with the end of the Australian Heritage Festival. Whether you’re a student, a history buff, or just someone with a great yarn, Rosewood Unearthed is your chance to leave a creative mark on the community.

School holidays are in full swing, and Limelight Cinemas Ipswich has something for everyone—from kids and families to thrill-seekers and music lovers. DJ Sparky caught up with Lex from Limelight for this week’s Brekkie Club cinema rundown.
While Minecraft and Dogman continue to entertain younger audiences, this week’s major releases shift toward more mature themes. First up is Death of a Unicorn, a darkly hilarious ecological satire starring Paul Rudd and Jenna Ortega. The quirky plot follows a father-daughter duo who accidentally hit a unicorn with their car, triggering corporate and ethical chaos.
For action lovers, The Amateur stars Oscar-winner Rami Malek as a CIA decoder-turned-avenger after his wife is killed in a terrorist attack. “It’s intense and gripping,” Lex said.
Faith-based films also feature prominently ahead of Easter. The King of Kings, an animated retelling of the life of Jesus through a father-son story, is perfect for children. Meanwhile, The Chosen: The Last Supper brings a special episode from the popular TV series to the big screen, focusing on Jesus’ confrontation with religious corruption.
One of the most talked-about releases is Bad Genius, a high-stakes academic thriller about a straight-A student who creates an international cheating ring. “It’s smart, sharp, and full of clever twists,” Lex said.
Rounding out the lineup is André Rieu: Power of Love, a special cinematic celebration of the king of waltz’s 75th birthday, set against the scenic backdrop of Maastricht.
With a packed schedule and holiday crowds, Lex recommends booking tickets online early. “It’s busy—book ahead to grab your favourite seats.”
Limelight’s lineup is as diverse as it is entertaining, making it the go-to destination for moviegoers this April.

Ipswich audiences are in for a treat as local theatre-maker Amanda Harrison prepares to debut her original comedy Murder Incorporated at Studio 188 on May 9.
Developed through the Ipswich Civic Centre’s Hatchery residency program, Harrison’s new play is a quirky, character-driven comedy about two inexperienced assassins who lie their way into a criminal agency—with predictably disastrous results.
“It’s a company of hitmen, and these two have completely faked their résumés,” Harrison laughed during her interview on Arts in Gear with Brad Smith on West Bremer Radio. “They’ve got no clue what they’re doing, and it all blows up in their faces—literally and figuratively.”
Harrison, who also wrote and directs the play under her theatre company Mayhem Theatre, says Murder Incorporated is about more than laughs. It’s also a celebration of diversity and inclusion in theatre, offering actors the freedom to portray characters in ways that resonate with their identity.
“Many roles in theatre are so specific, they don’t leave room for actors to explore who they are,” she said. “This show flips that. Characters like Mr. Murder, our flamboyant CEO, are written with flexibility—anyone can play them, no matter their gender or background.”
The Hatchery program provides emerging artists with rehearsal space and support to develop new works. Harrison says the opportunity has been “incredible” for up-and-coming creatives.
Best of all, tickets to the May 9 performance are completely free—but bookings are essential via the Ipswich Civic Centre website. Seats are already filling fast.
“It’s a fun, high-energy night out,” Harrison said. “And a chance to support local creatives doing something a little different.”
Murder Incorporated plays May 9 at Studio 188, 7pm. Bookings: ipswichciviccentre.com.au.

A powerful combination of environmental innovation and inspiring personal stories took centre stage on this weekend’s edition of The All Ability Hour on West Bremer Radio, hosted by DJ Sparky and Patti from Focal Community Services.
The episode kicked off with Dave from E-Waste Connection, who shared exciting updates about the organisation’s recent achievements. Since January, the team has successfully diverted over 500,000 kilograms of waste from landfill, including a record-breaking 20,000 kilograms in February alone. Dave also revealed the North Booval workshop is now operating five days a week, expanding access to their hands-on recycling program.
The organisation recently passed an NDIS audit, meaning their services will soon be available under core supports — opening the door for more participants to get involved. Dave explained how attendees learn to dismantle electronic items and sort materials for recycling, providing not only environmental benefits but also skill-building opportunities.
Patti highlighted the positive impact E-Waste has had on Focal participants, particularly those who’ve struggled to find the right fit elsewhere. One standout story was of Drew, a participant who found new confidence and focus through hands-on work at E-Waste.
Later in the hour, the spotlight turned to Josh, a vibrant Focal participant living with epilepsy. Josh shared his love for performing arts, basketball, and community events like “Friday Night Fever” karaoke. His favourite songs? “Eye of the Tiger” and “Boys from the Bush.” With a contagious smile and passion for life, Josh proved why he’s such a valued part of the Focal family.

Speaking on West Bremer Radio, Caragh Bradbury shared details about Butterfly House at Mount Ommaney Shopping Centre and Quirky Croquet & Bunny Photos at Toowoomba’s Grand Central.
A Close-Up Experience with ButterfliesFrom April 11 to April 17, visitors to Mount Ommaney Shopping Centre can step into a conservatory filled with hundreds of butterflies. This immersive experience features species from across Queensland, allowing guests to see these delicate creatures up close.
Bradbury, who co-founded Triangle House, revealed that the inspiration for the attraction came from a dream and has since won national awards.

Alice in Wonderland-Inspired Fun in ToowoombaFor those heading up the range to Toowoomba, Quirky Croquet & Bunny Photos at Grand Central will offer a whimsical Alice in Wonderland-style croquet game using flamingo mallets.
Running from April 5 to Easter Saturday, families can also snap Easter portraits with real bunnies in a charming themed set.

As the temperature drops and the mornings get darker, many people find it harder to stay motivated to work out. But according to Loz from Loz Life, keeping active through the colder months is essential for boosting energy, improving mood, and maintaining healthy habits.
Speaking on West Bremer Radio’s Brekkie Club, Loz shared practical tips for staying on track with fitness goals—even when it’s chilly outside.
How to Stay Motivated in Cold WeatherLoz emphasized that the key to staying active in winter starts with a mindset shift.
“People see autumn and winter as a barrier, but it’s really an opportunity,” she said. “It doesn’t have to be an intense outdoor workout—anything counts when motivation is low.”
She suggested these strategies for staying on track:
Schedule workouts like appointments – Block out time in your calendar and treat it as non-negotiable.
Find alternatives to outdoor workouts – Try YouTube workouts, fitness apps, or online personal training.
Join a gym – Many gyms offer winter discounts to encourage new members.
Stay active in everyday life – Do squats while brushing your teeth, dance while cooking, or take walking meetings.
“Keep Moving” – The Key to Long-Term FitnessLoz warned that stopping exercise completely in winter can lead to “motion starvation”, making it harder to restart when the weather warms up.
“Our bodies are like cars in winter—if you leave them sitting too long, they’ll struggle to start again,” she said. “Keep moving, even in small ways, so you don’t lose momentum.”
More Fitness Tips in ‘Get the Unstuck’For more advice on staying motivated, Loz recommends her book “Get the Unstuck”, available in physical, eBook, and audiobook formats from LozLife.com, Audible, Kindle, and Apple Books.
“There are no excuses for staying stuck,” she said. “Stay active and think outside the box!”

Ipswich Cricket had an impressive week with wins across multiple divisions, signalling strong talent across the club. President Simon Emerson shared highlights from last weekend’s matches, starting with a noteworthy performance by the men’s first grade team. Ipswich bowled out Toombul for 278, with Jem Ryan and Sean Luter each taking three wickets. Young bowler Charlie Latchman, just 17, made headlines by dismissing Queensland Bulls player Matt Renshaw, a prestigious achievement early in his career.
In second grade, Ipswich secured a first-innings victory over Toombul, marking their fifth win in six games. Tom Sippel led with five wickets for 43 runs, supported by captain Paul Nassar with four for 23. Despite a shaky start, the team reached 129 runs, surpassing Toombul’s 112 and positioning themselves strongly for an outright win this weekend.
The Lord Taverners squad also celebrated a victory, defeating Souths by eight wickets. Reece Johnson, who recently joined Ipswich from Atherton in North Queensland, scored his second century in the tournament, achieving 112 runs to help the team chase down Souths’ 177 in just 14 overs. Johnson’s performances have impressed, making him a contender for the Queensland U17s team.
Ipswich’s U16 Brisbane Metro side pulled off a major upset against undefeated Wynnum, bowling them out for 124 and securing a convincing win with 10 overs to spare. The young players’ next match is scheduled for early next year due to the busy youth cricket calendar.
On the women’s side, Ipswich’s second grade women’s team defeated Sunny Coast, chasing down their opponent’s 112 to break a challenging streak. Meanwhile, in the Rebecca McCombs Cup, Ipswich’s younger team struggled against Wynnum but saw a strong individual effort from Addison Ward, who carried her bat with an unbeaten 42.
With rising stars and solid performances across all divisions, Ipswich Cricket is gearing up for a promising season.

The holiday season has officially kicked off in Ipswich with the launch of the city’s Christmas in Ipswich program and the grand opening of new entertainment venues at the Nicholas Street precinct. Mayor Teresa Harding, who led the festivities, shared excitement over the new additions to Ipswich’s vibrant city centre and the city’s festive plans for residents.
The Christmas in Ipswich program, which includes light installations, festive markets, and caroling events, will transform the Nicholas Street precinct starting December 13. Residents will be able to visit various festive sites across the city, including the iconic St Nicholas precinct lighting and the City Christmas Tree in d’Arcy Doyle Place, which will be illuminated on November 28 with Santa making a special appearance. “Our goal is to create joyful events across the city, from Goodna to Brassall,” Mayor Harding said. “We want every resident to experience the Christmas spirit close to home.”
Ipswich’s revitalized Nicholas Street precinct also had its grand opening last week, introducing key tenants that will bring new energy to the city’s heart. The new venues include Hoyts Cinemas, General Public — an “eatertainery” complete with bowling lanes and arcade games — and the upscale Hotel Commonwealth. Mayor Harding, who participated in the ribbon-cutting event, described the opening as a “once-in-a-generation transformation.”
In addition to holiday events, the city is already planning next year’s Spark Ipswich Festival. Expressions of interest for artists to contribute to the festival’s branding and visual identity are open until November 25. “Having local artists involved is essential to keeping the festival authentically Ipswich,” said Harding.
With these new venues and holiday events, Mayor Harding emphasized that after years of planning, the community finally has the space to enjoy these amenities. “Ipswich has waited 15 years for the Nicholas Street precinct to come to life,” Harding said.

Patty and Sparky hosted a jam-packed All Ability Hour on West Bremer Radio, featuring special guest Christine from AIIM Choices, who shared valuable insights into NDIS plan management and the latest updates impacting participants.
Christine explained AIIM Choices unique approach as a plan management service, which offers participants direct access to their own plan manager, bypassing the need for repeated story-telling every time they call. “We aim to provide a personalised experience,” Christine said, emphasising the benefits of working directly with a dedicated plan manager. This approach, she noted, gives participants more control and flexibility, especially when working with non-registered providers.
A key part of the conversation covered recent NDIS updates, including the introduction of stated supports in the new PACE plans. Christine clarified that stated supports restrict certain funds for specific services only, a change impacting how participants can use their budgets. “For example, if a plan includes ‘keeping a job’ as a stated support, that funding can only be used for employment-related activities,” Christine explained.
The discussion also addressed changes to activity fees, which participants are now responsible for covering out of pocket rather than using NDIS funding. Patty highlighted the impact of this change on low-income participants at risk of social isolation due to limited funds. Christine advised participants to reach out to their NDIS planners or local area coordinators for guidance and potential solutions.
In addition to AIM Choices’ services, Patty announced that Focal has a Supported Independent Living (SIL) opening for a male participant in Brassall, inviting interested parties to reach out for more details.
For more information on Focal’s SIL accommodation, listeners can visit focal.org.au or contact Focal directly at 07 3812 2014.

Ipswich’s love for cars is about to rev up as Ripley Valley gears up for its own car show, adding to the city’s vibrant auto culture. Following the recent Halloween-themed LAPS event and the popular Park and Pose in Nicholas Street, Ripley is hosting its first Car Show and Shine event, inviting car enthusiasts from across the area to show off their prized vehicles.
Councillor Pye Augustine shared her excitement for the event, which will be held on November 16 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Raptor Dome Car Park at Ripley Valley State Secondary College. “We’ve seen so much enthusiasm for car events in Ipswich, so it’s fantastic that the Ripley Valley community is getting involved as well,” Councillor Augustine said.
The event, organized by the Ripley Valley State Secondary College P&C, promises a diverse display of cars competing across various categories, including Best in Show, Best Holden, Best Ford, Best Hot Rod, Best Muscle, Best Pickup, Best Custom, Best Original, and Best Rat Rod. Councillor Augustine, who will be presenting some of the awards, admitted she’s still learning her way around car culture but is looking forward to seeing all the shiny vehicles on display.
“Cars are such a big part of Ipswich culture, and the Ripley Valley Car Show will be a great chance for everyone to enjoy these amazing vehicles,” Augustine added.
For those looking to enter their cars, registration details are available through Ripley Valley State Secondary College P&C.

As votes are tallied in Queensland’s state election, Wendy Bourne is expected to secure her position as the new State MP for Ipswich West. While the Electoral Commission of Queensland has yet to finalize the count, Bourne’s lead suggests she will soon represent her community in Parliament.
“I’m waiting for the final confirmation, but it’s an absolute honour to have the opportunity to represent Ipswich West,” Bourne said.
Having spent months engaging with residents, Bourne highlighted cost of living and transportation as the two main concerns expressed by locals. “Electricity bills, petrol prices, and groceries are all weighing heavily on households in Ipswich West. You’re getting less for more at the grocery store – everyone is feeling the pinch,” she explained.
Transport infrastructure, a growing priority for the rapidly expanding region, is set to be a key focus for Bourne’s first term. She aims to push forward essential projects, including the Mount Crosby Interchange and Bremer River Bridge, both of which received construction funding under the previous government. Additionally, both major parties have committed $4 million to the business case for a second river crossing, an initiative Bourne believes is vital to keep pace with Ipswich’s growth.
“We need to see concrete action once the business case is complete,” Bourne emphasized. “With Ipswich’s booming population, infrastructure is essential to our future – from roads to reliable bus services.”
With the newly elected LNP government taking the lead, Bourne acknowledged the challenges that may arise in pushing her initiatives from the opposition. However, she remains optimistic and committed to cooperation. “I’m prepared to work with anyone to secure the services and funding Ipswich West needs.

Limelight Cinemas in Ipswich is gearing up for a massive month, offering moviegoers an array of new releases, advanced screenings, and timeless classics—all at an affordable price.
Returning from the Australian International Movie Convention, Limelight’s own Lex shared her excitement for the cinema’s November schedule. “We saw sneak peeks of almost everything, and there’s so much coming,” she said, hinting at her personal favourite, the beloved family character Paddington.

With the 2024 Melbourne Cup just days away, racing experts Rowan Anderson and Jason Lawson from West Bremer Radio share their top predictions for the “race that stops the nation.” Both tipsters offer insights on standout horses, as well as a few surprise contenders to watch.
Jason’s top choice for the Melbourne Cup remains Vauban, a horse he has been backing since August. “Vauban comes in as the current favourite at $6. His performance in Europe is strong, and he’s expected to handle the distance. The quality of the field this year isn’t as strong as previous years, so he’s definitely a top-two or top-three chance,” Lawson said.
Lawson also suggests Buckaroo, currently paying $6.50, as a strong contender, but notes it will need a solid strategy from jockey Joao Moreira due to its wide barrier draw of 21. Another top pick is Warp Speed ($26), a Japanese horse with proven stamina in two-mile races, which he describes as an “excellent each-way bet.”
Rowan, meanwhile, has thrown his support behind Absurd ($9), a winner in last year’s Ebor Handicap and seventh in last years Melbourne Cup, known for its stamina and consistency. Anderson’s top trifecta selections are Vauban, Absurd, Sea King, and Akita Sushi, with a surprise choice of The Map ($51), which he describes as “one to watch,” hoping jockey Rachel King could bring a Melbourne Cup victory.
The experts will also be keeping a close eye on the Big Dance at Randwick, a lesser-known but highly competitive race featuring regional winners. Gringotts from the Ciaron Maher stable is currently the favourite.
As Melbourne Cup Day approaches, both experts remind punters to gamble responsibly and enjoy the thrilling atmosphere. The Melbourne Cup will take place on Tuesday, November 5, at Flemington Racecourse.

Ipswich City Council is set to recognise its top athletes, sports teams, and artists with two annual events: the Ipswich Sports Awards and the Ipswich Art Awards. Division 1 Councillor Jacob Madsen expressed enthusiasm for these events, highlighting the community’s dedication to sport and the arts.
The Ipswich Sports Awards, scheduled for next Wednesday, will celebrate the city’s best athletes, coaches, and volunteers. “We’re incredibly proud of the talent we’re seeing,” said Madsen, noting nominees like Ipswich High Rugby League’s Shailam Suoso, who’s already gaining attention as a potential standout in women’s rugby league. Track athlete Gout Gout, who recently inked a major endorsement deal, is also among the celebrated talents. “Seeing young athletes like Gout reach global levels of recognition is a big source of pride for Ipswich,” Madsen added.
In the arts, the 2024 Ipswich Art Awards will officially open this evening, showcasing over 1,000 entries. Public viewing begins Saturday, November 2, and will run through to November 9 at the Nicholas Street Precinct. “The quality of work is on par with professional galleries,” said Madsen, noting the opportunities the event provides for emerging artists to build their profiles. “The awards help artists gain visibility and grow their careers.”
In addition to these awards, Madsen confirmed that road upgrades on Ripley Road are progressing, with council working closely with state authorities and landowners to secure necessary road-widening properties. This follows a recent decision by council to renew a partnership with Just Sports and Fitness to manage the Redbank Collingwood Park Sports Complex, ensuring local residents continue to have access to fitness programs, gymnastics, and school holiday activities.
The awards season, road upgrades, and recreational opportunities underscore Ipswich’s commitment to supporting both current residents and future growth, fostering a vibrant community.

Jennifer Howard has reclaimed her seat as the State MP for Ipswich, securing another term to champion projects vital to the city’s booming growth. Speaking on West Bremer Radio, Howard expressed her gratitude to Ipswich residents, saying, “It’s such an honour to be re-elected. I love representing this community, and I’m very, very humbled.”
Howard acknowledged the challenges of working with a new coalition government but pledged her commitment to continue advocating for Ipswich. Key projects on her agenda include the Ipswich Tennis Association court upgrades, valued at $780,000, and a new $5 million synthetic athletics track, a commitment she made in collaboration with the University of Southern Queensland. Although the coalition did not match this pledge, Howard emphasized its importance, especially with the Olympics approaching and Ipswich athletes like Gout Gout competing on a global scale.
Howard also discussed securing a $4 million commitment from the LNP for a business case on a second river crossing, a critical infrastructure project given Ipswich’s projected population growth. “In the next 10 years, Ipswich’s population is expected to reach half a million,” Howard said, stressing that infrastructure must evolve alongside the city’s rapid development.
In addition, ongoing projects from Howard’s previous term, including three new schools, an ambulance station, a police station, and a billion-dollar hospital upgrade, remain on track. “There’s no shortage of work to be done, and I’m excited to keep moving forward,” Howard noted.
Howard commended her campaign opponents, praising their respectful approach throughout the election, and expressed deep gratitude for her staff and volunteers who supported her re-election bid. With her calendar filling up fast, Howard is ready to serve Ipswich in the coming term, promising, “It’s all systems go.”

As Halloween approaches, Ipswich is ready to embrace the spooky spirit with multiple community events for families and horror fans alike. Councillor Pye Augustine shared her excitement for the festivities and provided details on top Halloween events set to scare and delight.
At the top of the list is “Nightmare Before Milford Street” in Redbank Plains. Hosted by residents Christy and Nick, this immersive Halloween experience draws hundreds of visitors each year, with their home transformed into a haunted spectacle of animated figures and spine-chilling decor. Councillor Augustine, who visited last year, said, “If I said 200 people came through, I’d be short of a few.” The event is free, and all are welcome to stop by Milford Street between 5 and 8 p.m. on Halloween night.
For those looking for a more family-friendly Halloween experience, Yamanto Central Shopping Center is also inviting locals to get into the Halloween spirit by dressing up and visiting the shopping center for treats and fun activities. “Halloween is all about having fun, dressing up, and enjoying the night safely,” added Augustine.
Meanwhile, neighborhoods in Springfield will be filled with trick-or-treaters exploring the community. Families planning to participate are encouraged to keep their porch lights on if they wish to welcome costumed guests. Councillor Augustine noted that many families around Springfield and beyond look forward to the annual tradition of trick-or-treating.
Whether it’s facing phantoms or collecting candy, Ipswich has Halloween covered this year.

Just in time for Halloween, local Ipswich author Amadeus Rockefeller has released Formosan Vampire, a haunting historical fiction novel that promises to send chills down readers’ spines. Rockefeller joined the Breakky Club on West Bremer Radio to discuss his latest work, an intricately researched novel that delves into vampire lore, cannibal tribes, and historic events on the island of Taiwan, formerly known as Formosa.
Rockefeller shared his inspiration for the novel, saying, “I’ve been fascinated with vampires since I was a kid, but it wasn’t until COVID gave me the time to fully commit that I started writing seriously.” This is Rockefeller’s third novel, a product of extensive research covering 6,000 years of Taiwan’s history, including a portrayal of the indigenous Bar Bura Tu cannibal tribe.
The novel has already earned critical acclaim, winning two gold medals from the prestigious Readers’ Favorite Book Awards in the United States. Formosan Vampire weaves real-life events, including a depiction of Hiroshima’s aftermath, through its fictional narrative, bringing historical intensity to its chilling premise. Rockefeller conducted interviews with survivors of the atomic bombing for the project, gaining insights that add depth and realism to his work. “Some things humans do to each other are scarier than any fiction,” Rockefeller said.
For those eager to dive into this dark tale, Formosan Vampire is available on Amazon and at select local bookstores. Rockefeller is also offering five free copies through a special giveaway. Interested readers can find the code word by listening to the Brecky Club’s podcast and visit Glen Smith at The Vintage Advantage in Ipswich to claim a copy.
As Halloween approaches, Rockefeller invites the Ipswich community to experience a novel that, while based on folklore, will resonate with real historical horrors.

This week, Mayor Teresa Harding provided updates on key developments within Ipswich City Council, including the welcoming of new Division 4 Councillor David Martin, major infrastructure upgrades, and the recent community celebrations. Following the state election, Council remains focused on local projects and collaboration with state MPs.
One major announcement involved realignment plans for Cribb Park’s dog off-leash area in North Ipswich. This update follows community feedback requesting more shaded seating within the fenced area, enhancing the park’s appeal for both pets and their owners.
Mayor Harding also highlighted the large-scale Springfield Parkway upgrades, which now include massive 3.6-meter culverts designed to prevent road flooding during heavy rainfall. Part of the $60 million Springfield Greenbank Arterial Duplication Project, these culverts aim to future-proof the arterial road in one of Ipswich’s fastest-growing regions. “It’s essential to have this drainage in place with storm season approaching,” said Harding.
In the arts, the Ipswich Art Awards, which have seen over 400 submissions, kick off with an exclusive opening event this Friday. The popular event, eagerly supported by locals and arts groups such as Arts Connect, will showcase diverse talent from the Ipswich region, with tickets already sold out.
Finally, Harding joined the local community at the Goodna Jacaranda Festival, which featured over 30 food stalls, performances, and activities. She enjoyed supporting neighbourhood watch groups and local artists, and encouraged residents to continue engaging with upcoming events across Ipswich.

On the latest episode of The All Ability Hour on West Bremer Radio, host Patty welcomed Louise from First2Care to discuss recent changes to the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) that took effect on October 3rd. The session provided crucial information for NDIS participants, their families, and support providers, clarifying new restrictions on covered expenses and updates in plan management requirements.
Louise highlighted the latest changes to day-to-day living costs. “New guidelines are now more specific about what the NDIS will cover,” she explained. For example, expenses like rental bonds, home security deposits, and general home repairs no longer qualify for coverage under the NDIS. Other costs that cannot be claimed include generators, solar panels, and certain maintenance expenses that aren’t directly linked to a participant’s disability.
These restrictions could impact families whose loved ones may have behaviors leading to property damage due to their disability. Louise recommended consulting with Local Area Coordinators (LACs) and support coordinators for a thorough review and detailed evidence submission. “It’s about making sure there’s a clear link between the need for support and the disability,” Louise emphasized.
When discussing therapies, Louise shared that NDIS will only fund core therapies that directly address a participant’s specific disability. While essential therapies like psychology, occupational therapy, and speech are still covered, others—like reflexology and aromatherapy—are no longer eligible unless specified in a participant’s plan.
The episode closed with a focus on collaboration between plan managers, support coordinators, and service providers to optimize each participant’s allocated funds and goals. With further changes expected, Louise pledged to return for updates, ensuring The All Ability Hour remains an accessible resource for navigating NDIS processes.
For listeners seeking further support, First2Care and other local resources were recommended to help navigate these significant changes.

Ipswich Cricket faced a challenging weekend as both the men’s and women’s teams battled tough opposition, with mixed results. Simon Emmerson, President of Ipswich Cricket, provided a rundown of the action on West Bremer Radio.
The first-grade men took on Wests but fell short by 60 to 70 runs. Despite a strong effort from Harry Shepard and Sean Luthor, who fought hard for the last wicket, the team couldn’t close the gap. “They’ll be looking to get going again next week,” said Emmerson.
Second grade also faced Wests, setting a target of 167. However, the batting deck flattened on day two, making it difficult for the bowlers to hold off Wests, who chased down the total comfortably.
On a brighter note, the second-grade women’s team secured a solid win in their first T20 match against Wynnum, scoring 117 and bowling out their opponents for 50. However, they fell short in the afternoon game against Valleys. With a key match against the Gold Coast on Sunday, they remain in contention for the T20 semi-finals.
The Taverners team enjoyed a strong performance, with Reese Johnson and Colby Rudd leading the way. Johnson’s 80 and Rudd’s half-century ensured a convincing win, despite being out of finals contention. “They’ve got the ability to shake up the competition,” Emmerson added.
The Rebecca McCombs Cup team, a young squad, had their match forfeited by the University team, which has been struggling for players this season. They will be back in action next weekend, continuing to build their team’s culture and confidence.
Despite recent narrow losses, Emmerson remains optimistic. “We’ve had a few retirements and players returning from England, but we’ve got the experience now to build momentum,” he said, with a crucial two-day match against Sandgate on the horizon.
Ipswich Cricket hopes to turn their fortunes around in the coming weeks as they aim for stronger performances across the board.

The Ripley Community Garden, located near Ripley Valley Secondary College, is a flourishing space where local residents can pick fresh vegetables and flowers, while also fostering a sense of community. The garden, which operates on the third Sunday of each month from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., is now calling for volunteers to help maintain and expand its offerings.
Councillor Pye Augustine recently visited the garden and praised the efforts of the two women who have been leading the initiative. “The garden is well-established with a variety of flowers, vegetables like silver beet, and herbs like parsley. It’s a great community asset,” Augustine said.
For a $2 donation, visitors can pick a bunch of flowers or collect fresh produce, with all proceeds going back into the garden’s upkeep. However, Augustine stressed that volunteers are crucial to the garden’s continued success. “We need more people from the community to come forward and lend a hand. Whether it’s watering or weeding, there’s plenty of work to be done.”
The community garden is a large space, roughly 10 by 30 meters, and has grown into a welcoming area for residents. It’s designed to bring people together while providing access to fresh, local produce. Augustine emphasized that the project is not meant to be the sole responsibility of the two founders. “It’s a community garden, and we really need the wider community to help out,” she said.
For those interested in supporting this initiative, either by volunteering or making a donation, you can get in touch with Councillor Augustine or visit the garden on the third Sunday of the month.
“Community matters,” Augustine added, “and gardens like this help bring us all closer together.”

Ipswich is gearing up for the first-ever Trashion Parade Ipswich, set to take place on November 2nd at the Masonic Lodge on Nicholas Street. The event, organised by the Ipswich Climate Action Group as part of the Ipswich Sustainable Living Festival, will highlight sustainability in fashion through fun, creative ways, promoting the recycling and upcycling of clothing.
The “Trashion Parade” aims to educate the public about the importance of reducing waste and consuming less, especially when it comes to fast fashion. Glen Smith, the event’s MC, expressed his excitement on West Bremer Radio: “This is such an important event, showcasing how we can recycle and rethink fashion in a way that’s fun and creative without being preachy.”
Rose and Vel from the Ipswich Climate Action Group joined the conversation to emphasize the staggering statistics around fashion waste. “Globally, about 80 billion pieces of clothing are purchased each year, and in Australia, 85% of textiles end up in landfills,” Rose shared. She added that Australia is the largest consumer of fast fashion in the world, highlighting the need for events like the Trashion Parade to raise awareness.
The parade will feature categories such as upcycled outfits, wearable art, and an “Op Shop Challenge,” where participants buy an outfit for under $20 from a thrift store. “The event isn’t just for designers or fashionistas; it’s for anyone who cares about the environment and wants to have fun,” Vel explained.
Participants of all ages are encouraged to join, and the event will include entertainment, prizes, and a light supper. A gold coin donation grants entry, with all proceeds supporting local environmental initiatives. The Ipswich community is invited to witness creative recycled fashion and learn more about sustainable living.

Mayor Teresa Harding has announced that Ipswich City Council is nearing the completion of a significant upgrade on Redbank Plains Road, months ahead of schedule. Harding praised the progress, particularly on the newly opened four lanes between Highbury Drive and Argyle Street. “We had to take over the project earlier this year after the original contractor went into administration,” Harding said. “A local company has since stepped in and done a fantastic job.”
The project is expected to wrap up by December, barring any weather disruptions. Harding thanked residents for their patience during the roadworks, adding, “While roadworks can be inconvenient, the finished result will significantly improve the flow of traffic and accessibility for road users.”
In other developments, the Ipswich Nature Centre has installed five new shelters to protect visitors from the sun and migrating flying fox colonies. The family-friendly center, located in the historic Queen’s Park, now offers shade along the pathways as visitors enjoy over 200 animals, including dingoes, wombats, and a petting zoo. “I go there regularly, especially when there are baby animals,” Harding shared, encouraging families to visit.
The council is also tackling Ipswich’s shortage of short-term accommodation. During a recent meeting with the Ipswich Tourism Operators Network, Harding highlighted plans to attract more hotels by waiving parking standards and contributing up to 50% of infrastructure charges. “With events like CMC Rocks and next year’s Netball Queensland State Age Championship, Ipswich needs more rooms to meet the growing demand,” Harding said.
Finally, Harding was spotted at the Ipswich Sustainable Festival, where she made a smoothie while riding a bike. “It was a fun and healthy way to show our commitment to sustainability,” she added.
Mayor Harding looks forward to this weekend’s Goodna Jacaranda Festival, where Ipswich will celebrate its vibrant community and beautiful Jacaranda trees.

The Ipswich community is preparing to join the national movement for Day for Daniel Ipswich, a child safety awareness initiative aimed at empowering children with essential safety knowledge. On Friday, October 25th, Ipswich will host a special event at Tulmur Place on Nicholas Street from 9 a.m., as part of the largest child safety awareness day in Australia.
Senior Constable Kerrin Sheedy of the Ipswich District Crime Prevention Unit discussed the significance of Day for Daniel on West Bremer Radio, noting that it is a vital national day of action. “The event is focused on educating children about their personal safety, including being aware of their surroundings, acting on instincts, and reporting if something doesn’t feel right,” Sheedy explained.
The event, organized by the Queensland Police Service, Ipswich City Council, and local partners, is part of the Daniel Morcombe Foundation’s broader mission to keep kids safe. The foundation, established in memory of Daniel Morcombe, works tirelessly to educate children about personal safety and assist victims of crime.
Community members attending the event are encouraged to wear red to honor Daniel. The day will feature family-friendly activities, including face painting, a sausage sizzle, and entertainment from the Queensland Police Service Pipes and Drums, as well as Cops and Kills. There will also be merchandise for sale, with all proceeds going to the Daniel Morcombe Foundation.
A highlight of the day will be a special story time at the Ipswich Children’s Library, led by Sergeant Nadine Webster, offering a meaningful opportunity for children and their families to learn about staying safe.
Day for Daniel Ipswich is a key part of ongoing efforts to promote child safety throughout the year. “It’s essential we work together as a community to teach our children the 3Rs—recognize, react, and report—when it comes to their safety,” said Sheedy.
Ipswich invites everyone to attend and show their support for this important cause.

Ipswich’s All Ability Hour on West Bremer Radio welcomed a special guest this week, with Tracy, a long-time client of Focal, taking to the airwaves to share her experiences. Tracy, who has verbal communication challenges, joined the show alongside her support worker, Amanda, to talk about how Focal’s services have helped her engage with the community.
Tracy, who uses a wheelchair, expressed her excitement for her upcoming Christmas dance performance, an event she has been rehearsing for as part of Focal’s community activities. When asked what she loves most about Focal, Tracy’s answer was simple: “Dancing and singing.”
The show highlighted the important role support workers play in the lives of people with disabilities. Amanda, a dedicated Focal support worker, discussed the day-to-day tasks she helps clients with, including shopping trips and social outings. “It’s about being caring and understanding,” said Amanda. “No two days are the same. It’s all about supporting them in their needs and goals.”
In addition to individual care, Amanda also runs a basketball program for Focal clients in partnership with Ipswich Force Basketball. The program encourages social interaction, physical activity, and skill-building, with clients showing significant progress in both their fitness and confidence. “Seeing them improve and love the game is incredibly rewarding,” Amanda added.

Ipswich City Councillor Andrew Antoniolli shared exciting updates about the city’s developments and upcoming events. Speaking on West Bremer Radio‘s Brekkie Club, Councillor Antoniolli discussed the plans for a new playground at Woodend Park, responding to community feedback that emphasised the need for better recreational spaces in the growing suburb.
“Woodend is expanding, with many young families moving in. Providing access to playground facilities is crucial,” said Councillor Antoniolli. A council assessment has confirmed that Woodend Park is ideal for the new playground, and plans are now in motion. Although the funds will be discussed in a future budget, residents can look forward to enjoying the new facilities in the near future.
In addition to park plans, the Ipswich Sustainable Living Festival takes center stage this weekend. The event, held on Saturday, October 19, at Tulmur Place in the Nicholas Street precinct, will feature workshops, demonstrations, and family-friendly entertainment. With presenters from ABC’s Gardening Australia and second-hand clothing markets from Quibble, it’s the perfect opportunity to explore a greener lifestyle.
Councillor Antoniolli also stressed the importance of disaster preparedness as the storm and bushfire season approaches. “Get ready,” he said. “The recent storms remind us of the need to prepare our homes and families for potential disasters.” Residents can visit Ipswich City Council’s disaster dashboard to stay informed about emergencies, from river heights to road closures and power outages. The council will also have experts at the Sustainable Living Festival to help residents understand how to prepare for the storm season.

Ipswich Cricket President Simon Emmerson provided an exciting recap of the past weekend’s games and offered a look ahead at upcoming fixtures. The weekend featured strong performances from both the men’s and women’s Hornets teams.
In men’s first grade, four debutantes made their mark against Wests, with Jarrod Odanski taking a stunning five-wicket haul, including a wicket with his very first red ball. Wests posted 227 runs, while Ipswich lost two quick wickets to sit at 2 for 20, leaving the game evenly poised. Nemerson expressed confidence in his team’s chances, stating, “Just need a couple of partnerships to get started.”
In second grade, Ipswich returned to Baxter Oval for the first time this season. The slow outfield saw the Lambs rolled for 167, which Nemerson estimated to be closer to 200 under normal conditions. “Wests are 0 for 51, but with some early breakthroughs next week, our boys will be right in it,” he said.
Unfortunately, the Taverners’ season continues to slip, with the team recording just one win from six games. However, Nemerson remains hopeful, acknowledging their close losses and the chance to bounce back soon.
The Hornets women also had a mixed weekend. After a narrow loss to competition leaders Norths in T20 action, the team rebounded with a commanding 100-run win over Sandgate. “It’ll be great confidence for the girls heading into more T20 matches this weekend,” Nemerson said. The younger Rebecca McCombs Cup team, made up of local junior players, showed promising strides despite a loss to Wests.
Upcoming fixtures include ongoing men’s matches against Wests, while the women’s teams will face off against Wynnum, Valleys, and University this weekend.

With the state government election set for October 26th, Bundamba MP Lance McCallum has been busy highlighting several major developments in Ipswich. One of the most significant announcements is the $1.066 billion expansion of Ipswich Hospital, which will deliver 200 additional beds, a larger emergency department, and an expanded car park. “This is a real investment in world-class local healthcare for our community,” said McCallum, adding that the population growth makes this infrastructure critical.

Sally mentioned that the group’s work has been featured in prominent displays, including an extended exhibition of historical buildings at the Queensland Railway Workshops Museum. “We’re currently looking for a permanent home for some of our larger pieces, like the Commonwealth Hotel model,” she added.
The exhibition at Art Time Gallery is free to the public and offers visitors a chance to explore the intricate world of miniatures. Visitors interested in joining the Ipswich Mini Crafters can pick up brochures at the gallery or attend one of the group’s meetings held every Wednesday night at the old courthouse.

“Today, many happy parents are sending their kids back to school, and we want to remind all motorists that school zones are now in effect,” said Senior Constable Sheedy. “With more children on foot, in cars, or using public transport, it’s crucial to slow down and be aware of their presence.”

“Pick-up and drop-off times can create congested and busy areas around schools,” Sheedy added. “Drivers need to be especially observant and avoid distractions to ensure the safety of children.”
Motorists are urged to respect school crossing supervisors and always obey their directions. In addition, police will continue to monitor traffic around schools during peak hours to ensure compliance with road rules.

Ipswich City Council is in full swing during the school holidays, with Mayor Teresa Harding balancing a busy schedule. In a recent interview, Harding provided updates on several key happenings, including the upcoming by-election for Division 4 and various community events.
The by-election was triggered by the resignation of Councillor David Cullen, and the Electoral Commission of Queensland (ECQ) confirmed it will coincide with the state election on October 26, 2024. The by-election is expected to cost the city $400,000. Harding shared that while her preference was to appoint the runner-up at no cost, the decision for a by-election stands, in line with democratic processes. She reminded residents of Division 4, which spans from Karalee to Rosewood, to cast their vote—first-past-the-post style for the council election.
Harding also addressed Councillor Paul Tully’s recent suggestion to elect mayors through councillors rather than public elections. She emphasised her belief that mayors should remain accountable to the people, not just other councillors. “A mayor should be elected by the people, for the people,” she stated, underscoring the importance of governance and accountability.
On a lighter note, Ipswich residents are enjoying various school holiday activities, including the dinosaur exhibition in Ipswich Central and a pop-up toy library at Queen’s Park, as part of Sustainable Ipswich Month. Harding encouraged families to take part in the free events that have been drawing large crowds.

As National Secure Your Home Day approaches on 28th and 29th September, Ipswich Police are urging residents to take steps to protect their homes from potential burglaries. Senior Constable Kerrin Sheedy highlighted the importance of home security in the weekly Crime Watch segment, emphasising that every day should be a “secure your home day.”
“By implementing simple security measures, residents can significantly reduce the risk of becoming a crime target,” Sheedy said.
She outlined four key principles to improve home security:
- Increase visibility: Use sensor lighting and CCTV cameras to make it easier for offenders to be seen.
- Strengthen entry points: Install and use key-operated locks on doors and windows to make it difficult for intruders to gain access.
- Limit exit options: Make it challenging for offenders to exit your home with stolen property.
- Mark your valuables: Use microdots or engraving to mark items, making them harder to sell and easier to trace if stolen.
Sheedy encouraged residents to regularly assess their home security and make targeted changes to their behavior to improve safety. “Simple steps like locking doors and windows and installing security lights can go a long way in preventing break-ins,” she added.
Residents can download a National Secure Your Home Day kit from the Neighborhood Watch Australasia website. The kit includes a home security checklist, tips on property marking, and information on community events related to the initiative.
For more tips and resources on preventing crime, visit the Queensland Police Service’s Safety and Preventing Crime website. Residents are also encouraged to report any suspicious activity by contacting Police Link at 13 14 44 or anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1800 333 000.
With these measures, Ipswich Police hope to help residents feel safer and more secure in their homes.

Lachlan, a member of the group, expressed his love for making nachos and cheesecake, while Montana mentioned her passion for Thai corn and cutting vegetables. Amy enjoyed making pasta and pizza, and Travis loved preparing chicken salads.

Division 3 Councillor Marnie Doyle has been busy overseeing Ipswich’s exciting school holiday activities and important community projects. Speaking on West Bremer Radio, Doyle highlighted the city’s vibrant transformation, with dinosaurs taking over Ipswich Central as part of a school holiday adventure.
“This amazing prehistoric experience in Tulmur Place and Nicholas Street Precinct has animatronic dinosaurs, including a roaring T-Rex and woolly mammoth, taking residents back 165 million years,” Doyle said. The display is part of Ipswich City Council’s efforts to engage families during the holidays.
In addition to the dinosaur fun, the city is moving forward with the redevelopment of River Heart Parklands, which suffered significant damage in recent floods. Doyle encouraged residents to contribute their ideas for reimagining the beloved riverside park through the council’s “Shape Your Ipswich” platform.
“River Heart Parklands has been hit hard by floods since it first opened in 2007. This is our chance to build back better and create a more resilient space for the community,” Doyle explained, noting the importance of resident feedback to ensure the park meets everyone’s needs.
For families looking for more budget-friendly entertainment during the school break, the Brisbane South Toy Library is popping up in Ipswich Central from September 23-25 at Queen’s Park Environmental Education Center. With over 2,000 toys, games, and resources, the toy library offers a sustainable and cost-effective way for families to entertain their children.
“This is a great initiative that helps families save money while keeping kids engaged with new toys. It’s a win for both parents and the environment,” Doyle said.
Doyle will also be at Cameron’s Park this Saturday for the council’s free plant giveaway, offering a chance for residents to stop by and chat with their local councillor.

In the lead-up to the October 26 Queensland state election, Charis Mullen, MP for the seat of Jordan, joined West Bremer Radio’s State of Play segment to discuss key government initiatives and election preparations. Mullen highlighted the positive response to the recently introduced 50-cent public transport fares, which will become permanent if re-elected. Commuters, especially in outer metropolitan areas, are now saving over $100 per fortnight. “It’s making a big impact on people’s budgets and helping to reduce congestion on the roads,” she explained, noting that public transport usage has returned to pre-COVID levels.
In addition, Mullen discussed the state government’s 20% vehicle registration discount, another critical cost-saving measure designed to ease financial pressure. “Whether paying monthly, quarterly, or annually, everyone will benefit from the discount,” Mullen assured, addressing common concerns about the timing of the discount’s rollout.
Touching on funding, Mullen explained that the government’s cost-of-living relief measures are financed through progressive coal royalties, ensuring that Queenslanders benefit from the state’s resources. “We’re committed to helping people who are struggling by reinvesting this revenue back into the community,” she said.
As election day approaches, Mullen outlined several voting options available to Queenslanders. Early voting will be available from October 14 to October 25, with polling stations open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Postal voting applications are also now open.
Mullen expressed confidence in the upcoming election, citing her government’s achievements and ongoing commitment to addressing community needs. “Every election is important, and I feel good about our chances,” she concluded.

Councillor Pye Augustine is gearing up for the Renegade Bowman’s upcoming State Titles, set to take place in Swanbank on October 5th and 6th. During a segment on West Bremer Radio’s Brekkie Club, Councillor Augustine shared her excitement after visiting the archery club and getting hands-on with a bow and arrow.
“I got my ‘Katniss Everdeen’ on,” joked Augustine, referring to the famous Hunger Games character. The Renegade Bowman, located deep in Swanbank, will welcome around 150 archers from across Queensland for the two-day competition. The event promises a challenging mix of bush courses with targets hidden throughout the terrain, offering a unique twist to traditional target archery.
Augustine noted that last year’s national titles were unfortunately washed out due to heavy rains, which made access to the property impossible. “Fingers and toes crossed that we don’t get any rain this time around so the state titles can go ahead smoothly,” she said.
Beyond the competition, the event also fosters a sense of community. After the day’s archery rounds, participants gather around a bonfire, enjoy live music, and swap stories. Augustine shared how much she enjoyed the experience, even trying her hand at tomahawk throwing, another thrilling aspect of the event.
The Renegade Bowman’s range is located in a secluded area along Swanbank Road, ensuring safety for participants. Augustine praised the club for its strong safety measures and highlighted the club’s connection to Paralympic archer Taymon Kenton-Smith, who competed in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
As the State Titles approach, the Renegade Bowman and Councillor Augustine are hopeful for clear skies and a successful event that will draw archers from all over Australia.

Renowned Ipswich artist, LeAnne Vincent, who once founded “The Switch” gallery in 2010, is making waves once again with her latest installation, “Something Blue,” currently on display at the Somerset Regional Art Gallery – The Condensery. Known for her innovative use of cyanotype photography, the artist has combined her love of birds and still life with a contemporary commentary on online dating
The “Something Blue” installation, inspired by the Satin Bowerbird’s mating ritual of collecting blue objects, showcases the artist’s fascination with how objects reflect identity. For this project, she created a human version of the bird’s bower, filled with cyanotype blueprints. The installation includes a video of objects photographed using the cyanotype process, linking the bird’s behavior to people’s presentation of themselves in the age of online dating.
“When I visit my parents, I always check on the Satin Bowerbird’s nest in their yard,” LeAnne shared. “This sparked the idea of linking the bird’s use of objects to the way we use symbols to represent ourselves on social media and dating platforms.”
In addition to the exhibition, LeAnne will be hosting cyanotype workshops on October 19th and 20th at the Ipswich Art Workshop. The first workshop offers an introduction to cyanotypes, teaching participants the 1800s blueprinting technique. A second, more advanced session will dive deeper into digital negatives and UV light exposure techniques.
Those interested can book through her website starting Thursday. With a successful career spanning over a decade, this project represents yet another creative achievement for the Ipswich-based artist.
“Something Blue” is open for viewing at the Somerset Regional Art Gallery – The Condensery, and the workshops offer a rare chance to learn from one of Ipswich’s finest artists.

Originally inspired by the Hawkesbury Chamber of Commerce’s hamper efforts in Sydney, Donna and Oggy began the project modestly, delivering 20 hampers in their first year. Over time, the drive has expanded significantly, now distributing 300 hampers annually. The hampers are carefully curated based on anonymous lists from the Women’s Crisis Centre and Hannah’s House, ensuring that each recipient family receives items tailored to their needs.
“The holiday season can be a very difficult time for some,” Donna explained during a recent interview. “It’s the period with the highest suicide rates. Our goal is to bring some light and hope to those who are struggling.”
The operation now involves not only local shelters but also Ipswich Assist, focusing on homeless individuals. Last year, they added 90 homeless-specific packs, and this year, they’re introducing “Lisa’s Lunches” to support further.
Helping Support Minds is actively seeking donations of goods and a new storage location after losing access to their previous Ipswich Showgrounds space. They require a site with air conditioning and storage facilities to ensure food safety throughout the summer.
Ipswich locals are encouraged to support the initiative by donating items to the drop-off point at The Vintage Advantage (185 Brisbane Street, Ipswich). As the Christmas season approaches, Donna and her team remain committed to making a difference in the community.

Ipswich City Council continues to foster growth in the CBD, with several new businesses preparing to open in the bustling Nicholas Street Precinct. Among them are Sparkles Car Wash, offering convenient car cleaning services while shoppers explore the area, and Kicking In, a premium seafood restaurant specializing in crabs. Both businesses add to the vibrant offerings in the city center.
Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding shared her excitement about the additions during an interview with West Bremer Radio, highlighting the precinct’s ongoing transformation. “Since May, Council has approved six new leases, and two businesses are finalising their paperwork,” Harding said. With Hoyts set to open later this year and Hotel Commonwealth on track for a possibly early then expected opening, the CBD is evolving into a lively destination for residents and visitors alike.
In addition to business development, the Council has launched community consultations to revitalize Riverheart Parklands, which has been impacted by repeated flooding. “We’re looking at making the park more flood-resilient while improving accessibility for everyone,” Harding explained. Residents can have their say on the redevelopment by participating in consultations through Shape Your Ipswich until September 29.
The Council also renewed its partnership with the Ipswich Regional Chamber of Commerce, contributing $35,000 annually over the next two years to support local businesses. Harding emphasized the importance of this collaboration, which includes mentorship programs and business expos aimed at fostering strong relationships with the city’s business community.
Mayor Harding also participated in the Premier’s welcome home dinner for Olympians and Paralympians, celebrating the achievements of Ipswich athletes, including Molly O’Callaghan, Ella Ramsey, and Taymon Kenton-Smith.

Deputy Mayor Nicole Jonic provided an update on several ongoing projects in Ipswich’s Division Two during an interview with West Bremer Radio. Notably, the flood recovery efforts at Goodna’s Cultural and Arts Centre, located in Evan Marginson Park, are advancing well following the 2022 floods. “We’re at the plastering and wall sheeting stage now,” said Jonic, adding that work is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
This project is one of seven flood recovery efforts underway in Division Two, with the city completing a total of 69 flood-related projects across Ipswich. Jonic expressed gratitude for the joint funding from both the Australian and Queensland governments, which has significantly aided the recovery process.
In addition to flood recovery, Jonic highlighted the ongoing work to upgrade the Springfield Parkway and Springfield Greenbank Arterial. The roads are being widened from two to four lanes as part of one of Ipswich City Council’s largest road projects. Jonic mentioned the critical intersection near Springfield Fair and Topaz Street, which is being signalized to improve safety for children from the nearby Woodcrest School.
“This upgrade is essential for keeping up with the area’s rapid growth,” Jonic said, noting the region’s continuous expansion, with new businesses regularly opening in the area.
On a lighter note, Jonic encouraged local parents to take advantage of Ipswich City Council’s upcoming free school holiday programs, which will feature 26 events across the city. Activities range from sports to community collaboration events, offering a variety of experiences for children during the break.
Jonic’s focus remains on ensuring Division Two receives the infrastructure and resources it needs to support its growing community.

In a recent interview, Ipswich West MP Darren Zanow addressed major legislative changes ahead of the upcoming election, focusing on public health and safety issues. One of the key topics was the new vaping laws currently being debated in Parliament. Zanow confirmed that the laws are set to crack down on illegal vaping products, particularly those affecting younger people.
“Vaping has become a dangerous habit, especially for children. These laws will target shops selling illicit products, with the aim of protecting our youth,” Zanow said. He noted that statistics show teenagers who begin vaping are more likely to transition to smoking later on.
In addition to health concerns, Zanow highlighted the LNP’s focus on tackling youth crime, which remains a significant issue in the Ipswich region. He announced that the LNP is preparing to introduce a comprehensive rewrite of the Youth Justice Act. If elected, Zanow assured voters that changes would be implemented within the first 100 days of forming government. “People deserve to feel safe in their homes and communities, and our approach will focus on guiding young people before they get into serious trouble.”
The MP also touched on child safety laws, another critical concern. With amendments to the Working with Children Act and blue card regulations being debated, Zanow emphasised the importance of making communities safer for children.
With the election fast approaching, Zanow urged Ipswich voters to consider the LNP’s platform, stressing that Ipswich needs more state and federal support. “It’s time for change,” Zanow concluded. “Together, we can get Ipswich the fair share it deserves.”

A unique initiative called the Moneyless Market is set to take place at the Smart Start Early Learning Center in Redbank Plains on October 5, aiming to support local families in need. The concept, championed by Ipswich Councillor Pye Augustine, encourages residents to donate gently used items, which will be available for free to those who need them.
Councillor Augustine, speaking on West Bremer Radio’s Brekkie Club, explained the idea behind the market. “It’s simple,” she said. “People donate clothes, books, household items, and other essentials they no longer need, and families who are struggling can come down and take what they need – without spending a cent.” The initiative is designed to help reduce waste, as its motto states: reduce, reuse before we recycle.
Donations will be accepted at the Smart Start Early Learning Center, located at the corner of Pallas and School Roads in Redbank Plains, from September 30 to October 4. The items should be in good condition, ensuring they can be immediately reused by others in the community.
On the day of the market, October 5, those in need can pick up items ranging from clothing for children and adults to books and kitchen utensils. Councillor Augustine highlighted the impact of the initiative, saying, “It’s a great way for people to pass on items they no longer need while making a real difference in someone else’s life.”
Residents are encouraged to donate what they can and support this important community event. Councillor Augustine will be on-site during the market to help and meet with locals.
The Moneyless Market provides a meaningful opportunity to come together, reduce landfill, and ensure that resources are put to good use by those who need them most.

Ipswich Little Theatre‘s latest production, Clue On Stage, is set to captivate audiences with a blend of suspense, drama, and humour. Directed by Tony, the play, based on the 1985 cult classic film Clue, has generated immense excitement, with tickets nearly sold out.
Speaking on West Bremer Radio, Tony explained the show’s popularity, attributing it to the widespread recognition of both the original board game Cluedo and the iconic film starring Tim Curry. “People love the history of Clue. It started as Cluedo in the post-World War II era, and the movie has kept that legacy alive for nearly 40 years,” Tony remarked.
The production will transport audiences straight into the mysterious world of Clue, featuring familiar characters like Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet, and Professor Plum. With intricate staging, immersive elements, and a touch of film added to the show, audiences can expect a thrilling experience. Tony shared that some scenes were filmed locally at Grey’s in Grey Street, adding a unique cinematic flair to the play.
“We wanted the audience to feel like they’re part of the Clue world from the moment they walk in,” Tony said, highlighting the thunder, lightning, and suspenseful ambiance awaiting attendees.
With a talented cast of local actors, including Ipswich legends Aaron Evans and Shane Mallory, the play promises to be an entertaining hit. Additionally, charity group nights are still available, offering a chance to enjoy the show while giving back to the community.
Tickets for Clue On Stage are in high demand, and those interested are encouraged to visit Ipswich Little Theatre’s website or contact the Visitor Information Centre for remaining group night tickets.

As Rural Road Safety Month 2024 kicks off, Ipswich Police and local organisations are emphasising the importance of safe driving on rural and regional roads. Senior Constable Kerrin Sheedy joined West Bremer Radio to discuss the initiative, which aims to reduce the high number of fatalities occurring in rural areas.
“Shockingly, almost two out of three road fatalities happen in regional areas, and this has remained consistent, with the same concerning statistics in 2023,” Sheedy said. In the lead-up to the school holidays, Ipswich Police are partnering with local communities, councils, schools, and organisations like the Ipswich District Road Safety Committee and PCYC Boonah to raise awareness.
One key event during Rural Road Safety Month will take place at Kolo Gardens on Sunday, 29 September, from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm. The event, aimed at promoting road safety for motorcyclists and other road users, will feature a barbecue where attendees can “grab a snag and chat” about road safety, mental health, and more.
Participants are encouraged to “sow the seeds of change” by driving safely and being aware of the “fatal five” causes of road accidents: speeding, drink and drug driving, not wearing seatbelts, fatigue, and distraction. Ipswich Police remind drivers to adjust their driving to road conditions, particularly when encountering loose surfaces or hazards unique to rural areas, such as wildlife.
“Every hazard on the road has an impact on how your car behaves,” Sheedy noted, stressing that drivers should reduce speed and prepare for changing road conditions when driving on rural and remote roads.
The Queensland Police Service remains committed to reducing road trauma, reminding everyone that road safety is a shared responsibility.

As the state election draws near, Bundamba MP and Minister for Skills and Training, Lance McCallum, discussed a range of important local and state initiatives on West Bremer Radio. During the interview, Minister McCallum emphasized the significance of Women’s Health Week, which aims to raise awareness about the unique health challenges faced by women and girls in the community.

He highlighted several initiatives under the Queensland government’s women and girls’ health strategy, such as decriminalizing abortion, providing free period products in schools, and introducing reproductive health leave for public sector workers. The strategy also includes a dedicated women’s health phone line, ensuring that women can easily access the support they need.
In addition to health initiatives, McCallum addressed the ongoing cost-of-living pressures, emphasizing the state government’s efforts to provide relief. He highlighted the success of the 50-cent public transport fares, energy rebates, and the expansion of the “Free Tools for First Years” program. This initiative offers first-year apprentices in construction, plumbing, engineering, and electrical trades up to $1,000 in tools, helping to alleviate the financial burden on young workers.
McCallum also discussed the recent groundbreaking for a new $34 million police facility in Ripley, which will include a new station and district headquarters, enhancing community safety with the addition of 30 new officers. He further noted the progress on the Collingwood Park State Secondary College, which is set to open in Term 1 of 2025, with enrolments now open.
These initiatives reflect the government’s commitment to supporting the Bundamba community, ensuring access to essential services and easing financial pressures as the state election approaches.

In a recent segment on West Bremer Radio’s “Brekkie Club,” Andrew Catton provided a detailed update on Ipswich’s first-grade cricket teams and their performances over the weekend. The men’s team experienced a rollercoaster of results in the T20 Max competition, starting with a tough loss but finishing strong.
The weekend began on a disappointing note for the men’s team as they faced the Sunshine Coast. Despite restricting their opponents to a manageable 168, Ipswich was bowled out for just 62 runs, resulting in a heavy defeat. However, the team quickly regrouped and delivered an impressive performance against the star-studded Gold Coast team the following day. Chasing 131, Ipswich secured a victory by 7 runs, bouncing back in style. On Monday night, the team continued their winning streak by successfully chasing down a challenging target of 192 against Turnbull, capping off a strong finish to their T20 Max campaign. Unfortunately, the initial loss to the Sunshine Coast proved costly, preventing them from advancing to the finals.
The first-grade women’s team also faced challenges over the weekend. Playing at home in Ipswich against Valleys, the women fought hard but ultimately fell short. Valleys posted a formidable 210, and while the Ipswich women put up a commendable fight, they were unable to chase the target, finishing at 166, 44 runs shy of victory.
With the T20 Max competition now behind them, Ipswich’s teams are shifting their focus to the upcoming one-day competitions. The men’s one-day fixtures are set to begin next weekend, while the women will also commence their season soon. Both teams are eager to build on their experiences and perform well in the matches ahead.
Andrew Catton will continue to provide updates as the Ipswich Cricket season progresses.

Ipswich City Council has announced an exciting new partnership with the Brisbane Lions, aiming to boost local sports and community engagement. Mayor Teresa Harding recently discussed the collaboration on West Bremer Radio‘s Brekkie Club, highlighting the numerous benefits for Ipswich residents.
The partnership kicked off with a season opener at Limestone Park, where the Brisbane Lions played North Melbourne. The event featured Brisbane Lions players Dakota Davidson and Kate Lutkins, along with Ipswich Eagles players. “It’s fantastic to see this partnership come to life,” said Mayor Harding. “We have a strong sports culture in Ipswich, and this collaboration will provide significant exposure and opportunities for our local athletes.”
Beyond promoting sports, the partnership includes educational opportunities, community health programs, and dedicated fan days to support the Brisbane Lions’ women’s team. “This isn’t just about advertising Ipswich as a tourism destination,” Mayor Harding emphasised. “We’re creating pathways for aspiring athletes and sports administrators, and we’ll even have state and national championships hosted right here in Ipswich.”
In addition to the sports partnership, Ipswich City Council is launching a “shop top living” initiative to revitalize the city’s CBD. The program offers financial incentives to property owners to convert under-utilised spaces above shops into residential areas. “We’re aiming to increase vibrancy in our city centre by encouraging more people to live, work, and play in Ipswich,” Mayor Harding explained.
The council is also addressing community concerns about swooping birds during breeding season, advising residents to wear sunglasses and hats, and avoid known breeding areas.
In light of Councillor David Cullen’s recent resignation due to health issues, a special council meeting has been scheduled for Thursday to decide on the next steps, which may include a by-election or appointing the runner-up from the last election.
With these initiatives, Ipswich City Council continues to focus on community development and engagement, promising exciting times ahead for local residents.

Jamar from PAMA explained the essence of Springfest during a recent interview on West Bremer Radio. “Springfest is our annual celebration of our foundation credo: unity and strength in diversity,” he said. “We use this event to showcase a wide range of cultures, not just from the Philippines but from various backgrounds, reflecting the diverse makeup of our community.”

Ipswich is set to host a unique workshop that combines creativity and tradition at the Galvanized Festival this weekend. The event, called “Weave a Finger Puppet,” will be led by Hennie, a master textile artist from the Ipswich Spinners and Weavers. The workshop aims to teach both children and adults the traditional art of weaving by creating their own finger puppets.
Speaking on West Bremer Radio, Hennie shared the benefits of this hands-on activity. “The workshop is done on a piece of cardboard and is designed to help children and adults improve their hand-eye coordination,” she explained. With today’s digital age leading to less physical interaction, this activity offers a refreshing change that emphasises tactile skills and creativity.
The children’s workshop will be held on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Brighton House in the Cooneana Heritage Centre. For a fee of $10, participants will receive a kit to create their own finger puppet. Hennie mentioned that this workshop is not only fun but also educational, helping kids develop essential fine motor skills that are sometimes lacking in today’s tech-focused world.
For adults, a more in-depth weaving session is scheduled on Sunday. This three-hour workshop will use finer yarns and more complex techniques, catering to those looking to delve deeper into the craft. Hennie, who has been a master weaver for over 60 years, promises an enriching experience that fosters creativity and patience.
The workshops are part of the Galvanized Festival’s celebration of heritage and crafts. Interested participants are encouraged to book through the Discover Ipswich website to secure their spot. Don’t miss this opportunity to weave a finger puppet and take home a handmade creation!

This week marks Child Protection Week, a significant event that aims to raise awareness and encourage conversations around child safety and protection. Senior Constable Kerrin Sheedy of the Ipswich District Crime Prevention Unit emphasized the importance of this week during an interview on West Bremer Radio.
The theme for this year’s National Child Protection Week is “Every Child and Every Community Needs a Fair Go,” complemented by the message “Every Conversation Matters.” Constable Sheedy stressed the importance of speaking up and working together to ensure every child in every community is protected and given a fair chance at life. “Many people play a role in child protection every day as individuals, community members, volunteers, and workers,” she said. “This week is an opportunity to acknowledge those efforts.”
To honor those making a difference, the Ipswich and West Moreton Region will host the annual Child Protection Week Gala Dinner and Awards presentation. This event, taking place on Friday, September 6th, at the Ipswich Events and Entertainment Centre in Bundamba, will recognise individuals, volunteers, and community workers who contribute to child safety. Tickets can be purchased online.
Constable Sheedy also highlighted the importance of having age-appropriate conversations with children about personal safety, internet safety, and what to do if they feel uncomfortable or unsafe. “Children should be aware of their surroundings, have a personal safety plan, and know their right to safety,” she advised. Additionally, parents are encouraged to set up content filters and supervise online activity to ensure a safer digital environment.
For those interested in more information about Child Protection Week events or to nominate someone for an award, contact Sergeant Nadine Webster at the Ipswich District Crime Prevention Unit.
Constable Sheedy concluded by urging the community to speak up for children, saying, “It’s time for children’s voices to be heard to make the necessary changes to protect them.” The community is encouraged to report any concerns about child abuse or exploitation to the police or Crime Stoppers to ensure all children are safe and supported.

Division 4 Councillor Jim Madden provided an update on the latest developments in Ipswich City Council, covering significant local projects and upcoming events.
Cr-Jim-Madden-landscapeFirstly, Councillor Madden announced that the Mount Marrow site has been removed from consideration for the new Western Resource Recovery Centre. After extensive community consultation and a thorough review by the council, it was determined that the Mount Marrow site posed several challenges. These included difficulties with utility installation, proximity to a nearby school, high costs for site access upgrades, and state environmental and cultural concerns. “Even though council already owned the land, the obstacles were too significant,” said Cr Madden. The focus now shifts to the two remaining options: Rosewood and Jurapilli. A decision on the preferred site will follow a review of community feedback and a report from council officers.
In other news, the much-anticipated reopening of Colleges Crossing Recreation Reserve is on track for later this year. The beloved Division 4 attraction has been undergoing rehabilitation following flood damage, with the support of the Queensland Reconstruction Authority. Despite some delays due to wet weather, Cr Madden confirmed that the project is progressing well. “Bulk earthworks are now complete, and work on new amenities, including shelters, shade sails, playgrounds, and landscaping, is well underway,” he noted. The revamped facility will also feature cultural elements acknowledging the area’s historical significance.
Excitement is also building for the start of the Galvanised Festival 2024, which officially kicks off tonight. This year’s festival, celebrating Ipswich’s rich heritage, promises a range of events, including a World War II-themed swing dance and dinner, as well as an Indigenous Wild Food and Cultural Festival at the Ipswich Turf Club. Cr Madden encouraged residents to participate in the festival activities and enjoy the vibrant celebrations across the city.
“Get out there and enjoy the Galvanize Festival,” urged Cr Madden, highlighting the variety of events available. The full program can be found on the Ipswich City Council’s website.

This Thursday morning on West Bremer Radio, Ipswich MP Jennifer Howard joined the State of Play segment to discuss several key topics impacting the community. Despite recovering from a recent cold, Howard highlighted important local and state initiatives.
Kicking off the conversation, Howard emphasised the importance of Queensland Road Safety Week. This year’s theme, “We’re One Team, Let’s Drive Like It,” aims to encourage drivers to practice patience and respect on the road. “We’re seeing far too many road fatalities,” Howard lamented, pointing out that 185 Queenslanders have already lost their lives in road accidents this year—12 more than the same period last year. She urged everyone to observe the “Fatal Five” rules to ensure safety for all road users.
Howard also highlighted SES Week and the recent awards ceremony recognizing the selfless efforts of State Emergency Service volunteers. She expressed pride in these dedicated individuals who consistently step up during natural disasters, pandemics, and other emergencies. “The very best of Queensland do wear orange,” she said, acknowledging the invaluable contribution of SES volunteers across multiple councils, including Ipswich.
In addition, Howard shared exciting news about the expansion of the Tools for Trade scheme, which provides financial assistance to first-year apprentices. Announcing this initiative at the new Bundamba TAFE alongside the Minister for Small Business, Lance McCallum, Howard explained that the program would now offer a $1,000 reimbursement for 10,000 more apprentices across Queensland, alleviating some cost-of-living pressures.
The segment also touched on a community victory regarding the proposed school site on Scots Farm. After thorough review and advocacy, the government decided the land was unsuitable for a school, allowing the family to maintain its historical connection to the area.
Finally, Howard paid tribute to Colleen Freeman, wife of former Ipswich Mayor Des Freeman, who recently passed away. Colleen was a pioneer for women in politics, becoming the first woman elected to the ALP Admin Committee in Queensland and leaving a lasting legacy in the community.

As the summer sports season gets underway, cricket has made a welcome return in Ipswich. On The Breakky Club this Thursday, West Bremer Radio‘s voice of cricket, Andrew Catton, joined the show to discuss the start of the 2024-2025 cricket season and the performance of local teams.
The first-grade men’s team had a challenging start to their campaign. They began with a tough match against Northern Suburbs on Saturday, falling short in the opener. However, they quickly bounced back with impressive victories over University and South Brisbane on Sunday. One of the standout performances came from import Lachlan Shaw, who scored a remarkable 61 runs off just 27 balls. Despite the strong start, the team faced another setback on Monday night due to several players being unavailable, resulting in a loss. “Playing four games in three days and securing two wins is just about a pass mark,” said Catton. “They’ll be looking to build momentum this weekend.”
The women’s team also showed promise as they kicked off their season. They secured a win against the Gold Coast in their first match but faced tough competition over the weekend. The team lost to Wynnum and narrowly missed out on victories against Sunshine Coast and Western Suburbs. “They made a really good fist of it against Wests, coming close to chasing down 165,” Catton noted. Despite these challenges, the women’s team displayed determination and skill, setting the stage for a strong season ahead.
Looking forward, this weekend promises more exciting cricket action in Ipswich. The first-grade women will play at Ivor Marsden on Ray Walker Oval on Sunday morning, followed by the second-grade men’s match in the afternoon. “It’s really exciting for us to have Premier Grade cricket back at Ivor,” said Catton, expressing his enthusiasm for the upcoming games.
As the season progresses, fans can look forward to regular updates from Andrew Catton every Thursday on The Breakky Club, keeping them informed about the latest in Ipswich cricket.

Ipswich is buzzing with excitement as the Galvanised Festival, a celebration of local heritage, kicks off this Thursday. Mayor Teresa Harding joined the Brekkie Club to share her enthusiasm for the festival and provide updates on several important community initiatives.
The Galvanised Festival will run for 11 days, offering more than 30 events dedicated to local history. This year, the festival features a new addition: the Indigenous Wild Food and Cultural Festival, set to take place at the turf club. “It’s a great way to honour our First Nations and make the festival more accessible,” said Mayor Harding.
The Baker’s Ball is another highlight, offering a nostalgic World War Two victory dinner dance experience in Marburg. “It’s a progressive dinner with a swing band and dancing lessons, promising a fun night for all,” the mayor added.
For those interested in attending, Mayor Harding encouraged early booking as some events are ticketed and filling up fast.
The Ipswich Council is continuing its extensive community consultation for the new Western Resource Recovery Centre. Mount Marrow was recently removed from the list of proposed sites due to community opposition and the discovery of a culturally significant area. The council is now considering expanding the Rosewood Recycling Refuge Centre or establishing a new facility in Jeebropilly.
Additionally, Mayor Harding announced that she will join the Ipswich RSL this weekend to commemorate the addition of new memorial walls and plaques for 117 soldiers at the Ipswich General Cemetery. This follows the dedication of 165 plaques in 2021 and is part of ongoing efforts to properly honour those who served and were not previously recognised.
Lastly, Mayor Harding reminded residents that it’s Queensland Road Safety Week and highlighted the importance of following road safety rules. She also commended the Ipswich SES for their exceptional service to the community, as they recently won a top award for their efforts.
Tune in next week for more updates from the Ipswich Council.

As part of Queensland Road Safety Week, Senior Constable Kerrin Sheedy joined West Bremer Radio‘s Crime Watch segment to emphasise the importance of road safety. Queensland Road Safety Week runs from August 26th to 30th, marking its 10th year as a critical initiative to promote safer driving habits across the state.
Under the theme “We Are One Team,” the Queensland Police Service (QPS) urges all motorists to work together to keep roads safe. This campaign comes in response to alarming statistics: as of August 19, the southern region of Queensland accounts for 34 of the state’s road fatalities, with speeding and other dangerous driving behaviors being major contributors. Notably, motorcyclists are disproportionately affected, making up 50 of the total road fatalities despite representing only about 5% of registered vehicles.
To address these issues, the Street Smarts Initiative, in collaboration with the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR), has launched the “No Excuses for Speeding” campaign. This campaign targets young male drivers aged 17 to 39 in regional Queensland, highlighting the severe consequences of speeding and discouraging dangerous driving.
Throughout Queensland Road Safety Week, Ipswich Police will enforce a zero-tolerance policy towards unsafe driving and engage in educational efforts to promote safe driving. Various events across the Ipswich District are planned to raise awareness and provide resources on road safety. These events include locations like the Town Square Redbank Plains Shopping Centre, Rosewood Drakes, and Orion Springfield Shopping Center.
The QPS, in partnership with local councils and organizations, encourages community members to attend these events, ask questions, and learn more about road safety. By working together, everyone can contribute to making Queensland’s roads safer.
For more information on road safety initiatives and events during Queensland Road Safety Week, visit the QPS website or the Street Smarts website. Let’s all do our part to ensure a safer future on the roads.

This Saturday’s edition of the All Abilities Hour on West Bremer Radio was a lively celebration of birthdays, performances, and upcoming adventures. Host Patty, from Focal Community Services, who was in a festive mood after celebrating her birthday, was joined by friends Crystal and Darelle, who also celebrated their birthdays on the same day.
The show kicked off with Crystal discussing her excitement about an upcoming performance with her dance troupe at the Fresh Futures Market, which will be held on September 4th at the Ipswich Showgrounds. “We are performing ‘Better Place’ by Trolls,” Crystal shared. The Fresh Futures Market is an annual event that brings together various organisations in Ipswich to assist individuals transitioning out of school, offering them learning opportunities and community connections.
Despite the busy schedule, Crystal and her troupe have been diligently rehearsing for the event. “We’ve been practicing a lot, and we feel ready,” she said with confidence. Derelle, usually a performer alongside Crystal, will miss this event due to an exciting trip to New Zealand. It’s Derelle’s first visit to the country, and she’s thrilled about seeing the famous “Lord of the Rings” filming locations and visiting family.
The discussion highlighted the joy and opportunities available to everyone, regardless of abilities. As Darelle’s plans showed, support workers and family members can help make travel and new experiences possible, enhancing the lives of those they support.
As the show wrapped up, Patty teased next week’s episode, which will feature representatives from Help Enterprises discussing employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Tune in next Saturday from midday on West Bremer Radio for more uplifting stories and community updates.

Ipswich Central is set to become more pedestrian-friendly, thanks to a new grant aimed at improving the walking experience in the city. Division 3 Councillor Andrew Antoniolli announced that Ipswich City Council has been selected as one of two local governments in Queensland to receive a grant from the Department of Transport. This grant will fund a trial project designed to enhance walkability in the area, focusing on key locations like East Street, which serves as a critical link between the hospital and public transport.
The project will introduce increased shading, greenery, and resting points along East Street, creating a more comfortable and safer environment for pedestrians. “This is about making Ipswich not just a workable city but a walkable one,” said Councillor Antoniolli. The trial will feature a shaded arbor with lighting to improve security and reduce the heat island effect in the area. Council will seek feedback from residents to assess the project’s impact and determine whether it should be expanded.
In addition to the walkability initiative, Ipswich is preparing for the annual Galvanized Festival, which celebrates the city’s rich heritage. The 11-day festival, starting this Thursday, will feature a range of activities, including blacksmithing demonstrations, haunted ghost tours, historical dances, and the highly anticipated First Nations experiences. Councillor Antoniolli expressed particular excitement about the Indigenous Wild Food and Cultural Festival, set to take place at the Ipswich Turf Club on August 31st. The event will showcase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, food, and cultural demonstrations.
On the infrastructure front, Councillor Antoniolli, who chairs the Infrastructure and Assets Committee, provided an update on the ongoing upgrade of Redbank Plains Road. The project, which is expanding the road from two lanes to a four-lane divided carriageway, is on track for completion later this year. This upgrade is crucial as Ipswich continues to grow rapidly, with Councillor Antoniolli emphasizing the need for additional state and federal support to meet the city’s expanding infrastructure demands.

The Queensland government has launched a new senior strategy aimed at enhancing the quality of life for the state’s aging population. State MP and Minister for Seniors and Disability Services, Charis Mullen, announced the initiative on West Bremer Radio, emphasising its importance in addressing the needs of older Queenslanders. With a growing number of seniors, the strategy focuses on providing essential services and support to help them live active, healthy, and fulfilling lives.
The strategy includes measures to combat social isolation, a significant issue among seniors, particularly those living alone. Mullen highlighted the availability of social isolation grants, which fund activities and programs designed to connect older residents with their communities. Local organizations such as Ipswich 60 and Better and the YMCA in Springfield Lakes have already been active in offering programs like gentle exercise classes, which have proven successful in bringing seniors together.
In addition to the senior strategy, Mullen discussed other important initiatives in the region. The Queensland government is set to distribute over 140,000 free laptops to disadvantaged students across the state, including those in the Ipswich area. This effort aims to bridge the digital divide in education, ensuring that all students have access to essential technology.
Mullen also shared the success of the recently introduced 50-cent public transport fares, which have already led to an 11% increase in patronage in just one week. The fare, part of a six-month trial, has been particularly beneficial for residents in Ipswich and Logan, who often face higher commuting costs due to the zone system. The trial’s success could lead to its continuation if the government is re-elected.
Finally, Mullen encouraged local families to participate in a competition for tickets to the popular Bluey live experience, further engaging the community in fun and family-friendly activities.

“Decked Out” is more than just a competition; it’s a celebration of creativity across all skill levels. For an entry fee of $25, participants receive a board to use as their canvas, which they then return to Arttime by the end of August. The event has become a beloved tradition in Ipswich, dating back over a decade, and continues to draw a diverse range of artists, from professionals to enthusiastic amateurs.
The competition features two categories: an open category for all ages and a junior category for artists under 15. With cash prizes totaling $400 for the open category and $100 for the junior category, the stakes are high. In addition to cash prizes, winners receive art supplies, including coveted Posca markers.
Cassie emphasized that “Decked Out” is open to all artistic styles, from traditional fine art to edgy street art. Last year’s winner, Raphael Picotti, blended traditional and modern techniques, demonstrating the competition’s broad appeal. The exhibition, which runs for 22 days at Arttime, provides a unique opportunity for artists to display their work and even sell their creations.
Cassie also noted that the event’s opening night, set for a Saturday, promises to be a lively affair, with a competitive yet friendly atmosphere. Arttime is open from Tuesday to Sunday, and boards are available for pickup now. Don’t miss the chance to be “Decked Out at Arttime” and support the vibrant local art scene!

Ipswich artist Kylie Stevens is set to embark on a powerful new project titled “Floodlines,” an artistic exploration of the city’s flood history. Collaborating with local historian and academic Margaret Cook, Stevens aims to bring to light the often-overlooked history of flooding in Ipswich, particularly the impact of the Bremer River.
During a lively interview on Tuesday morning with Glen Smith on West Bremer Radio, Stevens discussed the inspiration behind “Floodlines.” She explained that the project will delve into the stories of Ipswich’s floods, from the buried “ghost creeks” that resurface during heavy rains to the devastating effects of more recent floods, like those in 2011. Stevens highlighted the significance of remembering these events, not only to honor those who have suffered but also to prepare for the challenges posed by a changing climate.
“Floodlines” will culminate in a public art exhibition at the Ipswich Art Gallery in April and May 2024. The exhibition will feature Stevens’ large-scale paintings, created during a residency at the new Ipswich Art Workshop, alongside historical narratives curated by Cook. Additionally, the project will include an ephemeral public artwork, where Stevens plans to mark the ghost creeks and flood lines throughout the town, offering guided tours to help the community understand the river’s natural movements.
Stevens expressed gratitude for the support from the Ipswich City Council and Arts Queensland through the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), which made this ambitious project possible. She emphasized the importance of such funding in enabling regional artists to tell their communities’ stories.
As the project unfolds, Stevens invites residents to share their flood stories and engage with the ongoing work at her open studio sessions, starting August 27.

The Ipswich City Council has commenced significant sediment removal works at Robelle Domain in Springfield Central following severe flooding eight months ago. The flooding deposited around 5,000 cubic meters of sediment along Mountain Creek, an area behind the popular Orion Lagoon. These “Robelle Domain sediment works” are expected to last approximately two months, with contractors removing the equivalent of 500 truckloads of sediment.
Councillor Paul Tully noted that while the work is necessary to restore the park to its former state, residents should anticipate some disruptions, including increased noise and temporary changes to park access. Once completed, the area will be reopened, allowing families to once again enjoy picnics and outdoor activities in this well-loved section of Springfield Central.
In other local news, preparations are underway for the Vietnam Veterans Day ceremony at Goodna RSL, marking the 58th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. The event, scheduled for 4:30 PM this Sunday at Club Park View, will honor the service and sacrifice of Vietnam veterans. Councillor Tully emphasized the importance of remembering the veterans’ contributions, especially as many were not properly recognized upon their return home.
Additionally, Ipswich City Council is actively preparing for the upcoming Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) conference in October. Among the motions Ipswich will propose are extending the voluntary home buyback program for flood-affected properties and addressing cost-shifting in fire ant control. The council is advocating for continued state and federal funding for these initiatives to alleviate the financial burden on local ratepayers.
These issues, from environmental restoration at Robelle Domain to supporting Vietnam veterans and managing local government responsibilities, highlight the diverse challenges and opportunities facing Ipswich’s Division 2.

A petition spearheaded by Darren Zanow MP, advocating for urgent upgrades to the Haigslea – Amberley Road interchange on the Warrego Highway, is gaining traction as it approaches 2,000 signatures. The interchange, notorious for its high accident rate, has seen multiple fatalities over the past six months, raising alarms among local residents and frequent highway users.
Zanow emphasised the critical need for an overpass at the interchange, highlighting the dangers it poses, especially during adverse weather conditions. Despite repeated calls for action, the current government has yet to prioritise this project. However, Zanow is determined to keep the pressure on, urging the community to sign the petition available on his Facebook page. With a goal of 3,000 signatures, the petition aims to push the government to allocate necessary funds for this life-saving infrastructure.
In addition to the petition, Zanow’s office is offering free fire ant baits to residents of Ipswich West amid concerns that recent rains could exacerbate the spread of these invasive pests. Constituents can visit his Brassall office for baits and information on how to effectively manage fire ant infestations.
Zanow also addressed the alarming rise in crime within the Ipswich West area, noting that break-ins, assaults, and stolen cars have surged significantly. In response, a community crime forum is being planned to allow residents to voice their concerns and discuss solutions. The forum aims to address the root causes of the escalating crime wave and explore strategies to make the community safer.
As the election approaches, Zanow’s focus remains on advocating for the needs of Ipswich West, from critical infrastructure improvements to addressing local crime and pest control issues. His call for community action through petitions and forums reflects his commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of his constituents.

Ipswich is set to enhance its emergency response capabilities with the addition of two new all-terrain vehicles to the State Emergency Service (SES) fleet. These vehicles, which include trailers, were funded through an $80,000 grant from the state government, covering 75% of the costs, with the remainder provided by the Ipswich City Council.
The new additions are expected to greatly support the volunteers who are always ready to assist the community during times of need. Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding emphasised the importance of these vehicles, stating, “These vehicles support the volunteers who are always there for our community in those times of need.”
The SES fleet in Ipswich plays a crucial role not just locally, but also in disaster-stricken areas across the country. With Ipswich being no stranger to extreme weather events, the new vehicles will enhance the SES’s ability to respond swiftly and effectively across a vast area.
In addition to the new fleet, the city is also preparing for SES Week, which runs from August 24th to 31st. This week will include the South Eastern Region SES Awards Day, set to be held on August 24th in Russell. Mayor Harding highlighted the value of SES volunteers, noting their extensive training and proactive nature, making them an essential part of the community’s emergency response team.
Meanwhile, Ipswich recently had the honor of hosting Mark Wahlberg and other Hollywood stars as they filmed scenes for the upcoming movie Balls Up at the Queensland Museum Railway Workshops. The city’s reputation as a film-friendly location continues to grow, with over 170 registered sites for filming.
Nominations for the 2025 Ipswich Australia Day Awards are now open, offering residents a chance to recognize local heroes who contribute significantly to the community.

Samantha Sherrin, one of the stars of the show, is set to play Sergeant Sarah Brown. A seasoned performer with over a decade of experience, Samantha is thrilled to bring this beloved character to life. “I’m very excited,” she shared. “The process has been so much fun, and the team is incredibly talented and supportive.”
Guys and Dolls is based on short stories by Damon Runyon, and the musical, originally produced in the 1950s, has since become a beloved classic. The Ipswich production is directed by Robbie Parkin, known for his work on Wicked and Mamma Mia. The musical direction is handled by Peter Lawton, with choreography by Simon, who has worked on Australia’s Got Talent and X Factor.
Samantha, who previously wowed audiences in Xanadu at the Gold Coast’s Spotlight Theatre, is looking forward to this new challenge. “The rehearsals have been a wonderful experience,” she said. “We’ve created a real family atmosphere, and I think that will come across in our performances.”
The show opens on September 7th at Ipswich Civic Centre. Tickets are available online and by phone. Samantha encourages everyone to come and enjoy the show, promising an evening of memorable music and lively performances.

The “Friends of Dorothy Art” exhibition, held at Art Time Supplies in Ipswich, has become a beacon of pride and community spirit, showcasing diverse artworks from both LGBTQ+ artists and allies. Hosted by Art Time Supplies, this year’s exhibition features over 20 artists and approximately 40 pieces, all reflecting the theme of pride—a celebration of self-love and acceptance.
Cassie, from Arttime Supplies, generously donated the space for the event, which has been embraced by the local community. The exhibition has seen tremendous support, with many visitors expressing emotional connections to the artworks on display. “It’s been beautiful to witness the impact,” Cassie shared. “Older members of the community, in particular, have felt seen and touched by the pieces, sparking meaningful conversations.”
The exhibition is not only about representation but also about building bridges. Remarkably, half of the participating artists identify as allies rather than being part of the queer community themselves. This collaboration highlights the inclusivity and support that the exhibition fosters. “It’s amazing to see how the straight community has come together to create a safe space for everyone,” said one of the organizers.
The event has also seen active involvement from community organizations and even local law enforcement, all of whom have rallied to support the cause. The exhibition runs until Sunday, August 18th, culminating in a morning brunch to celebrate its success.
Located at 203 Brisbane Street, the gallery offers free parking and a welcoming atmosphere for all visitors. The “Friends of Dorothy Art” exhibition has not only showcased stunning works of art but also strengthened community bonds, proving that pride, in all its forms, is something to be celebrated and shared.

In a heartwarming and insightful episode of the All Abilities Hour on West Bremer Radio, DJ Sparky and Patti welcomed a range of guests who exemplify the power of inclusion and advocacy in the disability community. Central to the show was the discussion with Brendan and Brad from “Brighter Living,” a Special Disability Accommodation (SDA) provider committed to improving the living conditions for people with disabilities under the NDIS.
Brighter Living’s mission, “Creating homes where every ability shines,” reflects their dedication to focusing on the strengths and abilities of participants rather than their limitations. Brendan, who crafted the mission statement, shared his personal journey living with cerebral palsy and how the NDIS has significantly improved his life. “Since the introduction of the NDIS, my life has improved tenfold. I have more choice and control about how I live my life and where I want my life to go,” Brendan explained.
The episode also featured Tom and Dom from Focal, who shared their love story and experiences in the disability world, including their involvement in performing arts and sports. Their engagement story was a highlight, showcasing the joy and challenges of love and life within the disability community.
Throughout the show, Brendan’s advocacy for people with disabilities stood out. Having navigated the complexities of the NDIS himself, he now dedicates his life to helping others achieve their goals and live as independently as possible. He emphasized the importance of including people with disabilities in the decision-making process within the sector, stating, “If you’re going to work in the disability sector, employ participants. They are the strongest advocates for your company.”
The All Abilities Hour continues to shine a light on the stories and achievements of individuals with disabilities, promoting a message of inclusion, empowerment, and brighter living for all.

The much-anticipated upgrade of the William and Mary Street intersection in Blackstone is nearing completion, with traffic flow expected to return to normal soon. Ipswich City Council has been working diligently on this critical project, which serves as a major thoroughfare from Redbank Plains to Ipswich.
Crews have been working day and night to install traffic lights at the intersection, a key milestone in the project. According to Division 1 Councillor Pye Augustine, the final stages of the upgrade include landscaping, line marking, and a few remaining night works. “We’re grateful for the community’s patience as we complete this crucial work. Once finished, the area will be fully open, allowing traffic to flow smoothly,” she said.
This infrastructure upgrade is part of a broader effort by the Ipswich City Council to enhance the city’s amenities. Another significant development is the recent transformation of Fire Station 101 into a vibrant creative hub. Following advice from the Ipswich Arts Advisory Group and feedback from the Creators of Ipswich Summit, the revamped Fire Station 101 now offers a variety of spaces for artists and content creators. “It’s a fantastic facility that provides opportunities for our local arts community to thrive,” Councillor Augustine noted.
In addition to these infrastructure projects, the Council is also encouraging residents to nominate outstanding locals for the upcoming Ipswich Australia Day Awards. Categories include Citizen of the Year, Senior Citizen of the Year, and Cultural and Sports Awards. “These awards recognize the unsung heroes in our community who contribute positively and selflessly,” Councillor Augustine said.
As Ipswich continues to grow and develop, these projects and initiatives demonstrate the Council’s commitment to improving the city’s infrastructure and celebrating its community members. The completion of the William and Mary Street Blackstone upgrade will mark another step forward in this ongoing effort.

In a bid to address rising living costs, the Queensland Labor Party has unveiled a comprehensive plan to reduce petrol prices. This announcement is part of a broader suite of cost-of-living measures aimed at alleviating financial pressures on residents.
State MP for Bundamba Lance McCallum highlighted the Labor’s strategy during a recent interview on West Bremer Radio, stating that if re-elected in October, the government will implement policies to curb petrol price hikes. “We’re going to ban stations from raising the price of their fuel more than once per day and limit increases to five cents per litre,” McCallum explained. Additionally, Labor plans to establish 12 publicly owned petrol stations that will sell petrol on a cost-recovery basis to foster competition and drive down prices.
This initiative joins other measures already in place, such as 50-cent train fares and a 20% discount on vehicle registration, which collectively aim to mitigate the cost of living. “Queenslanders have told us that cost of living is their number one challenge and their number one priority,” McCallum said.
The 50-cent fare initiative has already proven popular, with McCallum personally taking advantage of the reduced fare to travel from Goodna to Brisbane for a cabinet meeting. The program saved Queenslanders over $1 million in fares on its first day, demonstrating substantial community support.
In addition to transport and fuel cost relief, McCallum also celebrated the state’s recent achievements in sports and infrastructure. He lauded the success of local athletes in the Paris Olympics, particularly 14-year-old gold medalist Arissa True and swimmer Molly O’Callaghan. These victories come as Queensland gears up to host the 2032 Olympics, an event already generating significant investment and economic activity in the region.
Furthermore, McCallum announced an $8.9 million investment in the Redbank Plains Recreation Reserve, emphasizing the government’s commitment to enhancing community facilities. This investment will support a variety of sports and recreational activities, benefiting local families and sports clubs.

In a lively Tuesday morning broadcast, West Bremer Radio welcomed Glen Smith and musician Brian Bennion, marking a special segment dedicated to the environmental and cultural significance of their latest music release. Bennion, often recognized for his journalistic endeavours, took the spotlight this time as a musician, discussing the remix of his band’s song “Trace.”
The Leads, a local band with Bennion as both bassist and guitarist, released “Trace” in November. The song, now remixed, emphasises a deep connection to the history and struggles of Deebing Creek, an area under threat from development. The remix, uniquely featuring the didgeridoo as a central instrument, was crafted by DK, highlighting a blend of traditional sounds and modern beats.
During the interview, Bennion shared his inspiration for “Trace,” rooted in his experiences at Lake Mungo, a site of historical and geographical significance. He drew parallels between Lake Mungo and Deebing Creek, both places rich in cultural heritage but facing modern challenges. Bennion’s visit to Deebing Creek, marked by its fossilised coral reef, motivated him to raise awareness about its impending destruction due to development plans.
Adding to the song’s depth, DK, an Indigenous protector of the area, contributed with didgeridoo and Jagara vocals, making “Trace” a poignant blend of music and activism. The remix version, created almost serendipitously during a mixing session, brought out a unique sound by isolating the bass guitar and didgeridoo tracks, leading to an entirely new musical experience.
The broadcast not only highlighted the song but also underscored the importance of local music and environmental activism. Bennion’s commitment to preserving Deebing Creek through his music exemplifies how artists can influence and inspire community action.
For those interested in supporting this cause and enjoying a unique musical experience, the limited edition remix CD of “Trace” is available through The Leads’ Facebook and Instagram pages. As the interview concluded, anticipation grew for their upcoming album, set to launch at Banshee’s Bar on October 18th, promising more local tunes with meaningful messages.

Mayor Teresa Harding highlighted this exciting development during a Tuesday morning interview on West Bremer Radio, emphasising the positive feedback from the Ipswich Arts Advisory Group and attendees at the 2023 Creators of Ipswich Summit.
“The Drowsy Chaperone,” a recent production hosted at the transformed hub, has drawn significant praise. Despite not catching a full performance, Mayor Harding appreciated the 1920s-themed setup and the dedication of the cast. The show’s success is evident, with nearly every performance sold out, adding to the anticipation for future productions.
In other cultural news, the city is preparing for the upcoming Galvanized Festival of Heritage. Scheduled for Saturday, August 31st, the festival will feature the Indigenous Wild Food and Cultural Festival for the first time in Ipswich. Previously held in Brisbane, this event attracts thousands of visitors and promises to be a highlight, featuring talented Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, food and cooking demonstrations, cultural workshops, performances, and fireworks.
Mayor Harding also shared positive updates on the financial support provided by the council, including a $21,500 grant to ensure the continued success of the Galvanized Festival. The council’s commitment to heritage and culture is clear, with initiatives aimed at enhancing community engagement and preserving local traditions.
In sports news, Ipswich City Council has secured over $18 million under the SEQ Livability Fund. This substantial funding will be used to expand the Redbank Plains Recreational Reserve and the Tivoli Sporting Complex, providing additional fields, enhanced facilities, and improved lighting. These developments are set to benefit various local sports clubs, including the Musketeers Baseball Club, Thunder Cricket Club, and Collingwood Park AFL Club.
Furthermore, the Ipswich Jets celebrated a significant victory, with their netball team winning the state title. The Sapphires triumphed with a 59-50 score, marking their second premiership since 2019. Mayor Harding praised the team’s performance and the seamless integration of the netball girls with the broader Jets community.
As Ipswich continues to grow and thrive, the transformation of Fire Station 101 and other initiatives underscore the council’s dedication to fostering a vibrant and engaged community.

In a vibrant Saturday afternoon broadcast, West Bremer Radio’s “All Ability Hour” hosted by DJ Sparky and Patty from Focal Community Services, highlighted significant community programs supporting individuals with disabilities. The show welcomed two notable guests, Ainsley from In-Person Creative and Karen from Connect Fest, both contributing profoundly to the local disability sector.
Ainsley, an educator from Mount Ommaney Special School, discussed her innovative drama program designed for young people with intellectual and multiple disabilities. The program, inspired by the UK’s Open Theatre, employs nonverbal practices using music, props, and improvisation to engage participants. “We aim to promote agency and capability, allowing our students to connect and have fun,” Ainsley explained. Her sessions, conducted every Saturday, welcome families and support workers, fostering a supportive, inclusive community.
Karen, well-known in the community as the “Pink Lady” for her vibrant pink attire, introduced Connect Fest, an initiative aimed at bridging the gap between disability service providers and families. As a mother to an autistic son, Karen’s motivation stemmed from personal experience navigating the complexities of the NDIS. Connect Fest offers local events providing information and support to families, demystifying the process and offering direct access to helpful providers. “Our goal is to support families and show that the NDIS can be a beneficial scheme,” Karen emphasized.
The discussion also touched upon the importance of the NDIS and the challenges families face in understanding and utilizing their plans effectively. Both guests underscored the significance of community support and the positive impact of well-informed service providers.
Listeners were encouraged to connect with Ainsley’s program through Mount Ommaney Special School and to join Karen’s upcoming Connect Fest event in Ipswich on September 17th. For more details, Ainsley can be reached at 0484 907 427 and Karen through her website and social media channels.

Ipswich is set to benefit from a new permanent police presence at Town Square Redbank Plains, responding to strong community calls for increased security. This development follows the tragic murder of a local resident, prompting Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding to advocate for heightened safety measures.
In a recent interview, Mayor Harding highlighted the community’s concerns and the council’s proactive steps. “The community has been asking for the establishment of a permanent police presence at Town Square. We pushed for this following the tragic incident earlier this year,” she said. The Queensland Government has responded by committing to 40 extra police officers and 10 new police cars for Ipswich over the next two years.
Mayor Harding also discussed the ongoing revitalization of Ipswich Central, focusing on enhancing Darcy Doyle Place as part of the city’s Cultural Heart project. “We are seeking community feedback on a preliminary concept design to renew Darcy Doyle Place. This project aims to improve access and connectivity for pedestrians, cyclists, and those using wheelchairs or prams,” she stated. The council is keen to gather input until the consultation closes on 21 August.
The interview also touched on the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games, with excitement building as Ipswich prepares to host events like the modern pentathlon at Brighton Homes Arena. Mayor Harding emphasized the city’s role and the importance of embracing the upcoming international event.
Additionally, the Western Resource Recovery Centre is progressing, with the council narrowing down potential sites. Public consultation sessions are scheduled, allowing residents to provide feedback on this critical project.
As Ipswich embraces these developments, the Mayor encourages residents to stay engaged and participate in shaping the future of their community. The permanent police presence at Town Square Redbank Plains stands as a significant step towards ensuring a safer environment for all.

In an effort to combat vehicle-related crimes, Senior Constable Kerrin Sheedy has emphasised the importance of securing vehicle number plates with anti-theft screws on West Bremer Radio. During a recent Crime Watch segment, Senior Constable Sheedy shared valuable advice on how to protect rego plates and prevent opportunistic thefts.
“An opportunistic thief will steal a vehicle and or number plates whenever and wherever there is a slight opportunity not to get caught,” Sheedy explained. She urged the community to take proactive steps in securing their number plates to deter such crimes.
Anti-theft screws are a simple yet effective solution. These specialized screws can be purchased from any hardware store. They come in either a universal pack or a set specific to a vehicle model. While it is possible to install these screws oneself, Sheedy recommended having them fitted by a reputable car service center, as a special screwdriver is required for installation.
In addition to securing number plates, Senior Constable Sheedy offered several preventative strategies to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of property theft:
- Secure Your Vehicle: Always lock all doors and close windows. Even if parked in a garage, ensure the car is locked and secured.
- Remove Keys: Never leave keys in the ignition. Store both original and spare keys away from the car and garage.
- Park Wisely: Choose well-lit areas for parking.
- Install Security Devices: Consider fitting a car alarm, immobilizer, ignition shield, or other security devices.
- Use Anti-Theft Screws: Secure your registration plates with these screws to prevent them from being stolen.
For additional information on vehicle and property security, residents are encouraged to visit the safety and prevention crime page on the Queensland Police website or contact the Ipswich District Crime Prevention Unit at 3817-1351.
“Let’s beat the sneak and secure your property and vehicle now to make sure that you don’t give any opportunistic thief the chance to steal your vehicle or break into your house,” Sheedy concluded.
Taking these preventative measures can significantly reduce the risk of vehicle-related thefts, contributing to a safer community.

Ipswich City Council is calling on residents to contribute their thoughts on the upcoming revitalisation of the cultural precinct within Darcy Doyle Place. Councillor Marnie Doyle, representing Division 3, highlighted the importance of this project during her recent interview on West Bremer Radio.
“The revitalization of our cultural heart is a key priority under the Ipswich Central redevelopment,” Doyle stated. This initiative aims to enhance the city’s vibrant arts and cultural scene, which was prominently showcased during the Spark Ipswich festival earlier this month.
Darcy Doyle Place, located along Nicholas Street from Roderick Street in the south to the Nicholas Street precinct in the north, is set to undergo a significant transformation. The preliminary concept design for the area is now open for public consultation. This design incorporates feedback from the community, gathered during late 2023, reflecting the features and public space elements that residents have expressed interest in.
“Community consultation is open until August 21st, and we encourage everyone to share their thoughts,” Doyle urged. The feedback will help shape the final design, ensuring it meets the community’s needs and expectations.
This project is part of a broader effort to rejuvenate Ipswich Central, which has already garnered multiple urban design awards. The redevelopment aims to preserve the city’s history and heritage while fostering cultural growth, essential for the rapidly expanding population.
In addition to the cultural precinct development, Ipswich recently welcomed 165 new Australians at a citizenship ceremony, showcasing the city’s inclusive and multicultural community. “We have such a rich cultural tapestry, and our festivals and community-led events celebrate this diversity,” Doyle noted.
Moreover, the council is making strides in improving local infrastructure. The continuous footpath connection from Madden Street to Grange Road in Jim Donald Parklands is nearing completion, enhancing accessibility for senior residents and those with mobility aids.
Sports facilities are also benefiting from the council’s efforts. The Jim Donald Parklands, home to the Raceview Soccer Club and Brothers Cricket Club, have seen significant upgrades, supported by state government funding.
Councillor Doyle remains actively engaged with the community, participating in events such as the ABC Foundation’s fundraiser for domestic violence awareness and the Collingwood Park State School trivia night.
The revitalization of Darcy Doyle Place and other ongoing projects highlight Ipswich City Council’s commitment to fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and well-connected community. Residents are encouraged to participate in the consultation process to help shape the future of their city.

Accord Care, an organisation dedicated to providing comprehensive accommodation services, is making significant strides in the community. Carolyn Johnson, a key figure at Accord Care, recently shared insights into the organisation’s mission and activities during the All Ability Hour on West Bremer Radio.
Accord Care has been operational for about three and a half years, offering a range of services, including Supported Independent Living (SIL), Short Term Accommodation (STA), Medium Term Accommodation (MTA), and Individual Living Options (ILO). “We provide everything accommodation-related and have an amazing program called the Hospital to Home program,” Johnson explained. This initiative aims to transition individuals from hospital settings to their homes, thus reducing hospital occupancy rates.
In addition to accommodation services, Accord Care boasts a robust support coordination team and a highly skilled clinical team, including a clinical nurse and registered nurses. This enables the organization to handle complex cases and high-intensity supports effectively.
Accord Care is also deeply involved in charitable activities. The organization participated in the CEO Sleep Out for St. Vincent de Paul Society (St. Vinny’s) and the Push Up Challenge, reflecting its commitment to community service. Johnson highlighted the Accord Outreach Programme, which was established by the organization’s founder. “We started with our very first participant who was made homeless, so one of our mantras is that everybody deserves a home,” Johnson said.
The Accord Outreach Programme operates out of Logan and provides various community services, including food parcels and support with forms and applications, particularly for NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) applications. The program is primarily run by volunteers and student placements, emphasizing the organization’s dedication to community involvement and support.
As the relationship manager for Accord Care, Johnson expressed her enthusiasm for the CEO Sleep Out, an event designed to raise awareness and funds for homelessness. “It was a big eye-opener and a phenomenal experience,” she remarked, advocating for more NDIS providers to join the initiative in the future.
For those interested in learning more or seeking assistance from Accord Care, Johnson advised contacting the organization through various channels, including LinkedIn, their website, or their main phone line at 3252 2068.
Accord Care continues to set a high standard in the accommodation and support services sector, demonstrating a deep commitment to improving lives and fostering community spirit.

The rapidly growing community of Greater Springfield will soon see improved emergency response capabilities with the announcement of a new fire station. Charis Mullen, the representative for the Jordan electorate, shared this exciting development during a recent segment on West Bremer Radio.
Mullen, who has been a strong advocate for enhanced emergency services in the area, confirmed that a new fire and rescue station will be built in Augustine Heights. This new facility will join the existing emergency services cluster on Gateway Drive, adjacent to the ambulance and police stations, creating a comprehensive emergency services hub.
“Currently, we are serviced by the Camira and Ripley fire stations, which do an amazing job. However, given the growth in Greater Springfield, we have always aimed to have our own dedicated station,” Mullen explained. Despite some initial site issues causing delays, construction is set to commence soon, much to the community’s relief.
In addition to the new fire station, Mullen highlighted other significant projects in the Jordan electorate. One such project is the Springfield Central State High School Senior Campus. Initially delayed due to stabilized enrollment numbers, this project is now back on track, with plans to open in 2029 or 2030. Community consultations are currently underway to ensure the new campus meets the needs and expectations of future students and parents.
Mullen also discussed the upcoming upgrade of the Logan Motorway, a critical freight route and one of the region’s most congested areas. The Queensland Government, in collaboration with Transurban, plans to add new lanes and upgrade interchanges to improve traffic flow and support economic growth in the Ipswich region.
Furthermore, Mullen expressed her gratitude to the community for their overwhelming support following a fire that affected a local charity, “Formally Ever After Qld Inc.” The charity, which provides formal wear to students in need, received over 100 donations of dresses and suits after the incident, showcasing the community’s generosity and solidarity.
These developments underscore the ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure and services in the Jordan electorate, ensuring the community is well-equipped to handle its growing needs.

Ipswich residents are thrilled with the recent reopening of the R.J. Richardson Park in Goodna, now commonly referred to as the New Goodna Park, which has undergone significant revitalization. The park, which was severely affected by floods, has been completely rebuilt and is now open for families to enjoy.
Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding shared the exciting news during a recent broadcast on West Bremer Radio. “The R.J. Richardson Park in Goodna was obviously revamped after being flooded. It’s been completely rebuilt and now features a huge paddle steamboat structure for kids to play on, an indigenous canoe moored on a rocky riverbed, a Flying Fox, fitness equipment, and more barbecues and seating,” she said. The park, located next to the Goodna District Rugby League Club, has become a new centerpiece for the community.
The redevelopment of R.J. Richardson Park was made possible through funding from the South East Queensland Community Stimulus Program in association with the Ipswich City Council. “I want to thank the state government for their contribution. It’s great to see such support for our community spaces,” Mayor Harding added.
The revitalization of New Goodna Park has been met with enthusiasm from local residents. Families are encouraged to visit the park, bring their picnic blankets, and make a day of it. The new features are designed to cater to a wide range of ages and interests, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
In addition to the reopening of New Goodna Park, Mayor Harding highlighted several other community events and initiatives. The National Tree Planting Day is scheduled for this Saturday, with activities planned at both Tight Family Park in Bundamba and Cribb Park. The Ipswich Hospital Foundation’s Park to Park run is also taking place this Sunday, marking its 20th anniversary as a major fundraiser for the foundation.
These developments and events reflect Ipswich’s commitment to enhancing community life and providing spaces and activities that promote health, engagement, and cultural celebration. The reopening of New Goodna Park stands as a testament to the city’s resilience and dedication to creating vibrant, inclusive public spaces.

This Tuesday on West Bremer Radio, listeners were treated to an engaging discussion about the highly anticipated One Act Play Festival with special guest Aaron Evans from Ipswich Little Theatre. Hosted by Glen Smith and Brad, the segment delved into the vibrant theatre scene and the upcoming festival that promises to be a highlight for drama enthusiasts in Southeast Queensland.
Evans, recently returned from adjudicating one-act plays in Dalby, shared his excitement about the festival’s growth and the diverse talent it attracts. “It’s a great weekend,” Evans noted, highlighting the wide range of plays from different regions, including Maleny and the Sunshine Coast. He emphasized how the festival, which runs from July to September, has been expanding since he started participating in 2010.
The One Act Play Festival features theatre groups from across Southeast Queensland presenting plays that range from 20 to 50 minutes. These plays travel to various theatres, including those in Ipswich, the Sunshine Coast, Toowoomba, and Beenleigh, where they are adjudicated and have the chance to win awards.
Evans, a seasoned participant, will be showcasing his own play, “Coming Soon,” at the Ipswich Little Theatre on August 10. The play, a thriller, explores the tense dynamics among eight cinema employees who must identify a thief within their ranks to avoid being fired. Despite its intense premise, the play also subtly addresses issues related to the casual workforce and workplace politics.
In addition to the One Act Play Festival, Evans also spoke about the Ipswich Little Theatre’s Young Theatricals’ upcoming production, “Antigone 3021.” Directed by Jessica and Matt Groves, this futuristic take on the Greek tragedy features a cast of talented young actors aged 12 to 18. The production will be performed this weekend, with tickets priced at $12 for concessions and $15 for adults, available at www.ilt.org.au.
As the radio segment wrapped up, the hosts and Evans encouraged the community to support local theatre by attending the festival and the youth production. “These young actors need our support,” Glen Smith emphasized, underscoring the importance of audience engagement in enriching the theatrical experience.
Mark your calendars for the One Act Play Festival on August 9-11 at Ipswich Little Theatre and don’t miss “Antigone 3021” this weekend. Both events promise to deliver compelling performances and showcase the exceptional talent within the community.

In a lively Saturday afternoon broadcast, the “All Ability Hour” powered by Focal Community Service captivated listeners on West Bremer Radio and the free West Bremer Radio app. Hosted by Sparky and Patty, the show featured engaging conversations, essential updates on the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), and heartfelt community stories.
The episode kicked off with Sparky and Patty exchanging cheerful banter before diving into crucial NDIS updates effective from July 1st. Paddy emphasised the importance of staying informed about the new price guides and their implications, noting significant changes such as the restriction of high-intensity support for support workers to medical needs only, excluding behavioural support. To ensure accurate information, Paddy encouraged listeners to attend NDIS seminars and reach out directly to the NDIS.
“Knowing these changes is vital for both organisations and clients,” Paddy stressed. “Don’t assume everything remains the same; always verify the latest guidelines.”
The show transitioned seamlessly to a special guest segment featuring Amy, a long-time member of Focal and a vibrant participant in community activities. Amy, who has Down syndrome, shared her passions for cooking, reading, and spending time with her family. Her enthusiasm for baking, particularly chocolate cupcakes, brought a sweet note to the conversation, with Sparky humorously requesting a sample.
Amy’s involvement in Focal’s programs, including a recent talent show where she performed Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” highlighted the inclusive and empowering environment fostered by the organization. Paddy praised Amy’s performance, noting how she energized the audience and almost “brought the house down.”

Deputy Mayor Nicole Jonic has provided crucial updates regarding Division 2’s budget and roads, on West Bremer Radio, emphasising significant developments that are set to transform the area’s infrastructure. Speaking on the latest council activities, Jonic highlighted the busy period following the Spark Festival, which recently concluded after 11 nights of vibrant cultural events across the city.
Key among the updates were details on major road projects within Division 2. Two prominent projects, the Springfield Central road duplication and improvements in Redbank Plains, are already underway. The Springfield Central road project, which has been progressing in stages, recently saw the completion of the section next to Brighton Homes Arena. “It’s now nice and wide, making it easier for school runs,” Jonic noted, emphasising the positive impact on local traffic flow.
The major intersection of Springfield Parkway, opened last year, is also set to benefit from these developments. The final stage, involving roadwork on Springfield Parkway, is expected to enhance safety, especially for children crossing near Coles. “Once that’s done, it’s going to make it a lot safer in that Springfield area,” Jonic added.
Starting next weekend, night work will be conducted to expedite these projects. From July 28th, the park and ride multi-story car park will be closed each night from 7 PM to 5 AM for five nights. “This night work is efficient and means we can complete tasks faster, minimising daytime disruption,” she explained.
Jonic also discussed the recently delivered council budget and annual plan, which includes significant allocations for road infrastructure. The budget earmarks $28 million to finalize the Springfield Greenbank arterial upgrades. Additionally, there are plans for curb and channel rehabilitations in Carroll Park and pavement reconstructions in Bellwood Park.
The budget also includes facility upgrades, such as a new sports field on the other side of Eden Station Drive and enhancements to Bob Gibbs Park in Springfield. Furthermore, park infrastructure improvements are planned for Opossum Creek Parklands in Brookwater, featuring rebound walls and nature play areas.
In support of the community, the council has increased the pensioner concession to $258 against their rates for this year. Johnnie encouraged residents to visit the newly upgraded Richardson Park in Goodna, noting its interactive and family-friendly features.
These developments underline the council’s commitment to improving infrastructure and enhancing the quality of life for Division 2 residents. With significant investments in road safety and community facilities, Division 2 is set for a period of substantial growth and improvement.

Ipswich West’s representative, Darren Zanow MP, made a heartfelt announcement on Friday, revealing his decision to step down from politics due to health concerns. Zanow, who has been a dedicated public servant, expressed his gratitude for the support he has received and outlined his plans for the future.
In a candid interview on West Bremer Radio‘s Breakky Club, Zanow shared his reasons for leaving his political role. “It was a big shock to myself as well,” Zanow said. “I’m trying to come to terms with the future, and it’s a little uncertain at the moment. Managing my condition is the priority, and stress is something I need to avoid, which makes continuing in politics untenable.”
Despite his departure from the political arena, Zanow remains committed to serving his community. He plans to focus on his work with the Ipswich Show Society and maintain his farm while prioritizing his health. “I’ll certainly be serving our community in other ways, and looking after my health is the number one priority,” he emphasized.
Zanow also mentioned his hope for medical advancements, specifically referencing clinical trials in America. “There’s some hope with these clinical trials that are happening in America. Hopefully, I’ll be a part of the AHEAD study next year, which has shown positive results for my condition in animal trials. It’s bound to work on a politician,” he joked, maintaining his positive outlook.
Until the upcoming election in October, Zanow continues to fulfill his duties as MP. One significant effort he is championing is a petition to address the hazardous Haisley-Amberley road interchange on the Warrago Highway. “In 15 days, we had 12 accidents, including one fatality, at the Walloon Turnoff. We urgently need an overpass there, and the petition is open until August 16th,” he urged constituents.
Zanow’s departure marks the end of a significant chapter in Ipswich West’s political landscape. His commitment to public service and the community’s well-being remains evident, even as he steps away from his official duties to focus on his health.

Ipswich is gearing up for the second annual Queerswich event, set to take place on August 3rd. Organised by Pink Flamingo Productions, Queerswich promises to be a celebration of pride, inclusivity, and the arts, making a significant impact on the local community.
Rachel, representing Pink Flamingo Productions, spoke to Glen Smith on West Bremer Radio, expressed her excitement about the event. “Last year was huge, and this year it’s going to be bigger and better,” she said. The event will feature the Friends of Dorothy art show at Art Time Gallery, with a theme centered around pride. The gallery, generously donated by Cass from Art Time, will showcase phenomenal artwork and hold a closing event where the winners will be announced.
Bank of Queensland’s Kenmore and Riverlink branches have sponsored the prize money for the art competition, adding to the excitement and prestige of the event.
Queerswich’s main event on August 3rd will be held in Tomal Place within the Nicholas Street Precinct from 1 pm to 6 pm. This year, the event will utilize the council’s rainbow lighting on the building, enhancing the atmosphere of inclusivity and celebration. “The council has been very supportive,” Rachel noted, thanking Mayor Teresa Harding for her continued support.
The day will be packed with performances from local talents, including a condensed version of Tim Wynne’s latest show about the Go-Go’s, local comedian Fran Mulcahy as Fran the Fairy Godmother, and several drag troupes like Palace Ipswich and the Golden Girls of Drag. Additionally, the event will feature the popular puppy pageant and the Wonder Woman beanbag toss, promising fun for all attendees.
Queerswich also serves an important role in the community by providing visibility and support for the LGBTQ+ community. “It’s all about taking away the shame and stigma, making it normal,” Rachel explained. The event aims to support queer youth, who face higher rates of self-harm and suicide, by providing a safe and welcoming space.
Educational and support groups, such as P-Flag and Free Mum Hugs, will also be present, offering resources and community connections. Queerswich Social, a monthly get-together initiated after last year’s event, continues to provide a regular safe space for the LGBTQ+ community and their allies.
Queerswich is not just for the queer community but for everyone. It’s an opportunity for the entire Ipswich community to come together, celebrate diversity, and learn more about each other. Rachel emphasized, “It’s not about one group being raised above another. It’s about all being together.”

Ipswich City Council is making strides in fostering community inclusivity and addressing infrastructure needs. Mayor Teresa Harding highlighted several key initiatives in a recent interview, reflecting the council’s commitment to serving its diverse and growing population. Mayor Harding talked about this on West Bremer Radio this morning
One significant agenda item is the addition of an Islamic burial section at Stone Quarry Cemetery in Jibra Pili. Mayor Harding emphasized the importance of respecting all faiths and catering to Ipswich’s multicultural community. “The leaders of the Islamic community approached the council about creating a burial area for our Islamic residents,” she said. The council is currently reviewing community feedback on the cemetery’s final designs.
Additionally, Ipswich City Council is addressing off-street parking regulations on Parkland Drive in Springfield Central. The area, near a community center, has seen parking issues, particularly affecting parents attending a baby clinic. The council is seeking community feedback on the temporary parking regulations and will make a final decision in an upcoming ordinary council meeting.
Mayor Harding also discussed the “We Can’t Wait” campaign, advocating for fairer transport funding for Ipswich. Despite the city’s rapid growth, Ipswich receives one of the lowest investments per resident for transport and roads. The campaign calls for funding for critical projects, including the Ipswich to Springfield train line, a second bridge crossing, and improvements to the Anembili interchange on the Cunningham Highway. “We are asking all political parties and candidates to consider fairer transport funding for the people of Ipswich,” said Harding.
In other positive news, the Nicholas Street precinct was recognized with two awards in urban design from the Queensland Government, highlighting the importance of good design in shaping communities. The precinct has seen over 20 new businesses open since its redevelopment, with more on the way.
Lastly, the council successfully hosted its inaugural new business breakfast, in collaboration with the Ipswich Region and Greater Springfield Chambers of Commerce. The event aimed to connect new businesses with council, state government resources, and networking opportunities.
Ipswich City Council continues to demonstrate its dedication to enhancing the quality of life for its residents through thoughtful planning and community engagement.

Story:West Bremer Radio recently delved into the “We Can’t Wait Campaign,” a new initiative launched by Ipswich City Council and Mayor Teresa Harding. The campaign calls for urgent federal and state government support to address local infrastructure needs. Federal Member for Blair, Shayne Neumann, shared his perspectives on the campaign during an interview.
Neumann expressed surprise at the campaign’s confrontational approach, comparing it to Winston Churchill’s preference for negotiation over conflict. He criticised the Ipswich City Council for not collaborating with the federal and state governments, pointing out that no council candidates had pledged to oppose higher government levels if elected.
Neumann highlighted significant investments by both the federal and state governments in the Ipswich community, including $20 million for the North Ipswich Reserve upgrade and $3.4 million for the Ipswich to Springfield Rail Line. He noted the lack of business cases from the council for these projects, implying a delay in progress. Additionally, $134.5 million was allocated for the Mount Crosby interchange upgrade and $42.5 million for the Bremer River bridge upgrade, demonstrating substantial governmental support for local infrastructure.
Despite these efforts, Neumann criticized the council for not presenting necessary project plans and business cases. He suggested that the council should be more proactive and prepared if they seek additional funding. Neumann also emphasised that the federal and state governments have been willing partners, funding numerous projects to benefit Ipswich.
The timing of the campaign launch, coinciding with the LNP State Council, was seen by Neuman as politically motivated, aiming to shift blame for local issues onto higher government levels. He called for more cooperative and constructive engagement from the council, stressing the need for unity among all government levels to address Ipswich’s growing population and infrastructure demands.
Neuman concluded with a call for improved collaboration, expressing his desire to see critical projects, such as the Springfield to Ipswich rail link and the North Ipswich Reserve upgrades, come to fruition through joint efforts of all government levels.

Ipswich City Council has been actively engaging with the community, bringing a variety of events and developments to the forefront. Councillor Jacob Madsen, representing Division 1, recently highlighted some exciting initiatives on West Bremer Radio.
One of the standout events is the Little Day Out, part of the Spark Festival, scheduled for this weekend in Ripley. “It’s more than a little day out; it’s probably the highlight of the Spark Festival,” Madsen enthused. The event, featuring music and art tailored for kids, was so popular last year that it has been split into two sessions this year to accommodate more attendees. The highlight will be the band Burger Joint, performing a unique kids’ concert called Junior Burger. Tickets are priced at just $5, and children over three will receive a bucket hat with their ticket.
In addition to festival fun, the Ipswich Sports Awards are returning for 2024. These awards celebrate the accomplishments of local athletes, coaches, officials, teams, and volunteers. “Ipswich has a rich sporting history, and the council aims to acknowledge the contributions that make it all happen,” Madsen said. Nominations are open until August 11, and the awards ceremony will take place on November 6.
Infrastructure improvements are also on the agenda, with the Ipswich City Council allocating funds for the replacement of the Hiddenvale Road bridge in Calvert.
The new heavy-duty bridge, jointly funded with the federal government, will replace the existing timber bridge while maintaining traffic flow during construction. “While it’s sad to see the old craftsmanship go, the new bridge will withstand greater weight loads, essential for moving stock in the area,” Madsen explained. The project is expected to be completed by December 2024, with works occurring Monday to Friday and occasionally on Saturdays.
Councillor Madsen also emphasized the council’s commitment to keeping the community informed about ongoing works. “It’s great to see this project finally moving forward after being in the works for a while,” he noted.
Madsen wrapped up by sharing his busy weekend plans, balancing family duties and community events, particularly those linked to the Spark Festival. “It’s never a dull day when you’re a councillor,” he quipped, highlighting the dynamic nature of his role.
The Ipswich City Council continues to foster community spirit through events, awards, and essential infrastructure projects, ensuring Ipswich remains a vibrant and well-supported community.

Lance McCallum MP, the dedicated Bundamba representative, recently shared some uplifting news on West Bremer Radio’s “State of Play” segment. Speaking from the tropical north, McCallum highlighted several positive developments for the Ipswich community, focusing on energy relief, healthcare investments, and support for veterans.
Starting the new financial year with a boost, McCallum announced the rollout of a thousand-dollar energy rebate for residents, a significant relief to help with the rising cost of living. “I’ve been out in the community in places like Collingwood Park, and people have already started seeing the thousand-dollar rebate on their electricity bills,” McCallum shared. Additionally, an extra $300 from the Albanese government and $372 for seniors, pensioners, and concession cardholders further enhance this financial support.
McCallum emphasized the importance of health and well-being in the rapidly growing Ipswich region, particularly through the investment in the West Moreton community. The recently opened Ripley Satellite Hospital now boasts a state-of-the-art CT scanner, which will perform over 14,000 scans annually. This new facility provides high-quality healthcare close to home, reducing the need for trips to the Ipswich Hospital and significantly cutting down elective surgery waiting lists.
In another noteworthy initiative, McCallum discussed a new program supporting Ipswich veterans. In collaboration with Wounded Heroes, the Food for Heroes program offers paid employment and skills training. This initiative, supported by a $400,000 grant, provides veterans and their families with hospitality training at the Ipswich Turf Club, aiming to get them back into the workforce while also preparing free meals for veterans in crisis.
McCallum also responded to concerns about infrastructure raised by Ipswich Mayor Theresa Harding. He highlighted the substantial investments made by the Miles Labor Government in the region, including new hospitals, schools, and public transport upgrades. He emphasized that while state investment is strong, local council projects, like the prolonged upgrade of Red Bank Plains Road, need to be completed to benefit residents fully.
Lance McCallum MP’s updates reflect a concerted effort to support Ipswich residents through energy relief, healthcare improvements, and employment programs, showcasing a commitment to enhancing the quality of life in the community.

With increased pedestrian and traffic activity around schools, Constable Sheedy emphasizes the need for motorists to slow down and be vigilant.
School zones are actively enforced in Ipswich, with standard operating times from 7am to 9am and 2pm to 4pm. Some schools maintain a 40km/h speed limit throughout the entire day from 7am to 4pm.

Police will continue monitoring road safety activities, especially during the busy pickup and drop-off times. Constable Sheedy advises drivers to avoid distractions and adhere to the 40km/h speed limit in school zones.

In today’s episode, we dive into a lively conversation with Jennifer Howard MP for Ipswich. She discusses her recent travels, including a visit to Roma, highlighting efforts to connect Queensland’s agriculture and gas industries with export opportunities.
Jennifer shares exciting news about cost of living payments, with Queensland residents receiving substantial rebates on electricity bills and public transport fares. We also explore community initiatives like Rosie’s blanket drive and the significant funding from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund for local organisations.
Jennifer talks about the impact of e-waste recycling in Ipswich, the school breakfast program, and the five-year anniversary of Ripley Valley State Secondary College. She also provides positive updates on elective wait times at Ipswich Hospital.
Lastly, we look ahead to the Queensland Treasurer’s upcoming budget luncheon in Ipswich, a key event before the state government election. Tune in for all this and more!
00:00
It is time for the state of play and I tell you what I’m very pleased to say that joining us on the phone this morning from the seat of Ipswich is Jennifer Howard MP. Good morning Jen. Morning David, how are you going? I am very well. You’ve been tripping around the state keeping busy I see. I have actually. I was out in Roma for a Tisby event, which is the Tornbush Surat Basin Enterprise Group.
00:24
in Roma talking about the work trade and investment Queensland are doing helping connect Queensland agriculture and gas industries with export opportunities. Fantastic, well it certainly is a progressive area there so you know lots to talk about and we’ve got lots to talk about.
00:40
Of course, one of the big things is that the cost of living payments that we’re all going to be getting very soon to bring down the cost of living. Yeah, it really is making a big difference for people’s lives already with the rebate we had last year for electricity. But this year, as everyone knows, starting from the 1st of July, we’ll receive $1,000 from the state government and an additional $300 from the federal government off their electricity bill, which is phenomenal. So many of residents in Ipswich have.
01:06
have approached me to say that, oh, but our electricity bill is already quite small due to solar panels and things like that. But that will sit in credit for households until it’s used up. Hopefully people will have a long time before they have to pay an electricity bill. Exactly, and only 50 cents to hop on a bus. Yep, or a train. So, you know, I was talking to commuters just late last week about what that means to them. One woman I spoke to who catches the train every day to travel to Brisbane, like so many Ipswich people.
01:33
and she told me that she’s worked out she’ll save over $1,200 in six months. Wow, that is crazy. I think it’s going to be a game changer as well. And the idea behind these type of initiatives is that rather than just giving people a lump sum payment where you’ve got that payment, you tend to spend it and that will then sort of have a on flow effect to inflation. So we want to avoid that from happening, which is why we’re doing the rebates in these ways. So it’s, you know,
01:59
It will help, we know that there’s still a lot of pressures on people out there and this isn’t going to solve it all but it will help. Exactly it certainly will and of course with the temperatures coming down, I’ll tell you what it was a bit cool earlier this week but Rosie’s blanket drive is on and it’s a good time for us to get some of those old blankets out and make a donation. Yeah we do that well I mean Rosie’s do it I think in Brisbane every year but we started doing it in Ipswich last
02:28
So we’ve got all sorts of interesting things delivered to our office, by the way. So I do, I would really stipulate that we just restrict it to blankets and, you know, things that help keep people warm. We don’t really need toasters or some of the other unusual things that were dropped off, but these are the things that we need. My office is open from nine to five, Monday to Friday. And I know that there’s people out there who are sleeping rough or even people who just
02:55
really struggling to afford to pay for those necessary blankets. Even though they have a roof over their head they’re still struggling and Rosie supports those people as well so you know donate and drop them into my office. Exactly there’s also been some fantastic news for local Ipswich community organizations who got some funding through the gambling commission benefit fund. Yeah we did so it was over $170,000 locally for local organizations here.
03:23
with the Gambling Community Benefit Fund, I was really pleased to see some of those organizations that just do so much in our community get some benefits. And as I always say, you know, it’s a little always a little bit controversial when it comes to gambling locally, and I have my concerns as well. But at the end of the day, if our community organizations can benefit from some of that money, I’m really happy to support it. Yeah, exactly. And
03:49
Brothers Cricket Club getting $12,500, the Campfire Healing Indigenous Corporation $13,400, the City of Ipswich Pony Club $35,000, Grand Air, Ipswich Vigor Association $34,000, $9,000 for the Nepalese Cricket Club $34,000 for the Broderick Street Preschool and of course $34,000, nearly $35,000 for IRASI. It’s fantastic.
04:19
You know, they really are the fabric of our city. So good on them. Yeah, exactly. Let’s look at a couple of other topics before we have to wrap it up this morning. But the e-waste connection now what’s happening then in that area? Yeah. So I think money now and it’s switched for a couple of years. They’ve got a really good location down in North Bufal and Monique is the person who’s
04:42
behind the establishment of it here in Ipswich. They did have one over in Kenmore. I met the new manager, David. What they do is they take in sort of electronic waste that nobody wants anymore. At the moment, they’ve got hundreds of the old NBN boxes. And they give people who are living with a disability an opportunity to do meaningful work in recycling these electronical items. And it’s really terrific. They actually…
05:10
needing more volunteers though from the community to come and help supervise. That all they need is like an hour or half a day, one day a week if they’ve got it to come down and give them a hand. They’re also keen to see more participants. Our special schools go there Tuesdays and Thursdays to also get to do a bit of work and see what they’re doing down there. So it really is a fantastic organization and what’s being done now in the recycling space is so impressive.
05:38
And this is just one example of some of that impressive work that’s been done. Yeah, it certainly is. Now, the school breakfast program, this sounds like a yummy addition to the calendar. Yeah, so we just refunded YCare basically, which is a branch of the YMCA who provide breakfast programs to schools across the Ypswich electorate. So, you know, I’ve often volunteered at some of these schools in the morning. We all know that, you know, children who have…
06:06
who’ve, you know, who’ve got a full tummy are more likely to sit still and learn in the classroom. So it really is a no-brainer and the YCare do a great job running these programs. So the schools locally are Blair, Bremer State High School, Bundamba State School, Churchill, Clement Special School, Ipswich Central State School, Ipswich East State School, I think Ipswich Special School, Ipswich West State Special School and Ipswich West State School all participate in that breakfast program. That’s just in my electorate alone.
06:35
They do great work, you know, they give a nutritious breakfast to the kids and they get a good start to the day. Fantastic. Now last Thursday, you were at the five year anniversary celebrations of Ripley Valley State Secondary College and incidentally, it also coincided with the 100 days until the inaugural year 12 cohort finish at the school. Yeah, yeah, it was really lovely. It’s a great school that one. All of the schools in Ritz which are fantastic in my opinion.
07:04
But it’s the first time in my time as a local member where I’ve got to see a foundation school, you know, five years down the track. You know, we opened these new schools to much fanfare, but it’s just, there’s something really special about reflecting on the last five years. Principal Brendan Kruger is outstanding, and he gave a really lovely speech. And you could tell that he was actually very invested emotionally in the kids.
07:31
and really wanted to see them have a good start in life. And I can tell you, we also, while we were there, we had our first tour of their new performing arts centre. I think it was about $19 million, state government money for this beautiful performing arts centre. Fantastic. At the school, state of the art, like really outstanding. And it is available for the public if they want to use it. So yeah, great to see.
07:56
I’ll tell you what, I was jealous when I saw the cake that they had too, so yum yum. I’ll have to remember to save your piece. You might have to, yes. Before we let you go, some good news on our health front and there’s been a lot of negativity towards our health system in Queensland, but we’re seeing some of those elective wait times drop at the Ipswich Hospital. Yeah, we know that the satellite hospital is playing a role in that, in terms of the Ipswich ED.
08:24
But data has shown those improvements. You know, you can’t argue with the data. So median wait times for the March 2024 quarter compared to the same period last year, you know, before the satellite hospital opened, despite the increase in the population and the number of patients visiting EDs, then in the 2023 March quarter, 25,972 people went through. Now we’ve got 27,117 in the March 2020 quarter.
08:53
24 quarter. So that’s 1060 more category two presentations. 65% of all ED patients were seen within clinically recommended times in the March 2024 quarter, which is up from 62% in the same period last year. And that’s 100% of category one patients, you know, that includes 100% of category one patients. So, you know, elective surgery patients treated within clinically recommended times increased from 91% in March last year.
09:22
to 95% in March this year. So, you know, I think that’s something to be proud of. We have the most incredible teams of health frontline workers in Ipswich. I’m always blown away by their commitment. And I know it’s difficult for them. You know, they do have, you know, a lot of challenges, a lot of hurdles to overcome, but I’m behind them 100% and the Miles government is behind them because, you know, we’re investing in health.
09:48
Yep, certainly before I let you go, I do know that next week, the Queensland Treasurer Cameron Dick is going to be handing down the budget. Lots of people are going to be looking at that and that’s the last one before the state government election in October. But we do get a chance to actually meet Cameron Dick for the Ipswich budget luncheon. Yes, we do. He’s coming here on the 27th of June. It’ll be at Brothers Leagues Club.
10:18
And it’ll be a great opportunity to hear firsthand from the treasure, as you say, on just how the budget will affect our community here locally. Yes, and no doubt a chance for our local politicians to go, please sir, can I have some more? Yeah, we do that. We do spend quite a bit of time annoying him. Yeah, good affection. But you know, it’s worth it. And he does listen.
10:47
I do think that, you know, cost of living is going to be a priority for this one in particular rather, you know, than sort of, you know, the big ticket sort of items. But we do need to get through this crisis that we’re currently experiencing at the moment. We certainly do. Put it in your diary, 27th of June at Brothers Leagues Club and you can get your tickets through. Try booking details on Jennifer’s Facebook page. So just jump onto Facebook and search Jennifer Howard MP.
11:16
Jen, always good to catch up with you and we’ll look forward to doing it again soon. Yes, lovely. Stay warm and have a great day. Thank you so much, Jennifer Howard, MP4 Ipswich. You are with the West Brammer Radio Brecky crew back with more in a moment.

I’ve heard some of the music and it is absolutely fabulous. Isn’t it? It’s fabulous, baby, one might say. Well, that’s true. I’m.
00:44
trying to parody all the songs here for you. I love it. Keep them coming. As I said, this is one of the biggest roles that you’ve undertaken.
Now, what drew you to wanting to do this? It really is. Look, lots of things drew me to play this. You know, it was made famous by whoopie Goldberg. The music is amazing.
The storyline is one that I am very, very familiar with. You know, I grew up watching sister act one and two, and maybe back then I planted a seed that one day I’d love to play this character.

And I think, you know, a little bit of embarrassment and eating some, you know, things that we would could never think of eating in our, in our real lives is, you know, it’s a bond that we all, it’s a lived experience.
We can all, all sit back and laugh about now. Now, obviously when people go along to see Sister Act the musical,
03:00
They’re not going to see Whoopi Goldberg up there because you’re going to put your own spin on it too, aren’t you? I am and I love that about the musical theatre world is that you know as much as I love Whoopi’s rendition of Dolores van Cartier I get to yeah as an actor I get to explore that and and see what that feels like in my skin and my body and you know Whoopi is witty and fast and quick and you know there’s a sassiness but also this
03:27
vulnerability of being back in a convent which I you know it will be lovely to play with as an actor so um you know I’ll try and try and put a little bit of me into it um but yeah we’re just I can’t wait to get it on the floor and get into rehearsals and just see what comes of it and then you know see you guys at the QPAC in February.

On the Breakky show here on West Bremer Radio streaming live on the app and also on Amazon, Alexa and Google Smart Home speakers. Time for our weekly check-in with Ipswich City Council and Mayor Teresa Harding. Good morning. Morning, Damo. It is good to talk to you and I tell you what, congratulations to the council because it has won a new business award. It has. We have been named Innovator of the Year at the inaugural 2024 Queensland Small Business Friendly Awards. Just for ensuring our
00:28
and supporting our small business community. So it’s a really great thing to see. And of course that’s part of the Ipswich Central Revitalisation Project. I mean, council’s been working hard in that space to really bring it to fruition, hasn’t it? We have, and certainly Council Marnie Doyle has been spearheading a lot of that work to get that revitalisation back into our CBD and getting people back in here. And look, we were the first council back in 2020 to become the first small business friendly council in Queensland. And we’re also the first council…
00:56
in Queensland to implement and provide a test and trial street patio program. And that’s that’s been really popular as well as we’ve designed a footpath extension to activate the outdoor trade in support of small businesses. So it creates a new space for people to sit in and engage with the community. It’s been really popular. It certainly has. I’ve sat in that a couple of times and I’ve enjoyed myself immensely. So in fact, it was very nice for council to put it right across the road from our studios here. That’s right. We also ran the park parking day trial.
01:24
Over three days, it converted six car parks into public spaces where the community could enjoy outdoor dining, music, art. We engaged the Ipswich Plant Swap Community Group and the Ipswich Central Partnerships to transform the bays. And we took excessive engagement to ensure these initiatives were supported by the business owners and the community. And I really appreciate people voting and we had dot-mocracy boards and voting jars. So we really appreciate everyone participating in that. And it was really lovely to receive that state award.
01:53
Yeah, it is good and also, you know, to our small business community, they are the heart and soul of the community and they need all of the help we can give them at the moment. Absolutely. We have these wonderful businesses, small businesses in the top of town in the CBD and they’re the businesses that employ people, provide our services. They also, they’re the ones sponsoring the local sports clubs and scouting groups and things like that. So it’s really important that we continue to support businesses. It certainly is.
02:20
We do that too of course with getting people to come to Ipswich and also provide reasons for people to get out of their houses and at the moment we’ve got the Festival of Horsepower but just around the corner, I can’t believe it’s already here, the Spark Festival. Yes certainly June is the the month of the Festival of Horsepower but we do have to prepare for July which is the Spark Ipswich Festival, that’s our annual cultural and arts festival, it’s getting bigger and bigger each year and it’s over 11 days from the 4th of July.
02:48
Now, of course, it is one of the signature festivals. And of course, it joins, you know, the likes of planes, trains and autos and the Festival of Horsepower. And it really does, you know, create that creative flair within the city, doesn’t it? It does. We try to get the programming and activations right. We’ve listened to residents, but also the creative community and what we can do. And this year’s program is a mix of returning favourites and three fresh new events. We have circuit, which is music in many places. We’ll see.
03:16
pulsating beats played across 15 unique venues across Ipswich Central. We have something new, the Teddy Bears Picnic, where children and their families are invited to bring their favourite teddy, a picnic rug, and brunch to enjoy the entertainment on offer. And a locally created interactive fibre arts garden for children with reading and craft and play activities called A World of My Own at the Queen’s Park Environmental Education Centre. So there’s three new activities that are being brought along. And of course, many of the old favourites, coming back to you,
03:45
One of the big ones is Delight, and that’s where we see those large scale projections on buildings. Yeah, Delight’s been very popular, and our local artists compete very heavily for that, so it’s great to showcase local artists on our local building. So Delight will be showing the local artworks in Darcy Dole Place for a second year with the projections on 143 Brisbane Street, as well as St Paul’s and Lichon Church.
04:09
we’ll have a record-breaking 17 local artists artwork that we profiled as part of the initiative. So it’s looking forward to that. Wow, fantastic. And of course, the World of Music Ipswich, that really sees that one day festival just turn Springfield Central alive. Yeah, it’s in Springfield Central. And it’s a great place to be. It’s a one day World Music Festival. It’s always really full. And we also will have the little day out again, as well, which is for young kids, they come along and sing and dance and create and play and
04:38
The Common People Dancer Stedford is back with local people in training now and practicing. So that should be lots of fun as well. More sequins and spandex that you can poke a stick at, that’s for sure. Absolutely, and lots of fluoro. Exactly. If you want further information on the full program of events across the city, jump on to smarkipswich.com.au for all the details. And you just mentioned the Queen’s Park Environmental Education Centre.
05:06
celebrating a big birthday milestone. That’s right, to all nature lovers, this Wednesday, the 5th of June, is World Environment Day. And it’s also the Queen’s Park Environment Education Centre, which is just next to the cafe. It’s its 15th birthday. So the doors first opened on the 5th of June, 2009, and we’ll be celebrating that. So we’re welcoming anyone from the community who’d like to come along from 10.45 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. to drop in, have a piece of cake, and just share what’s been there.
05:34
Certainly the last 12 months we’ve had over 21,000 visitors come there. It’s a very popular part of our city. Yeah. And of course, including many schools and groups that come through there. And of course we’ve got to, you know, take our hats off to the hardworking staff, especially all the volunteers in on the back of volunteers week to see, you know, without them, it just wouldn’t happen. We have amazing volunteers there in our bush care and land care and it’s their dedication, enthusiasm that really makes it a special place for the community to visit. And even there too on.
06:04
at Queen’s Park, you know, the glass house there by the Glebe Garden community there. It’s really great to see everyone come together. And we’re also running a few things like a free drop in Pugletime program. It’s World UNESCO Environment Day. And the theme is generation restoration this year, which explores the way that we can grow forests, revive water sources and bring back soil. So a really great theme, I think, for Wednesday. And apart from all of these wonderful things, too, I mean, we see so much else happening. I know that you were.
06:30
out at the Riverview neighborhood watch for the muscle immaculata on the weekend. And did I see you getting out of a high speed roadster on Willard Mac Raceway? Yes, we launched the festival horsepower on Saturday night at the Queensland Raceway. And there was a Porsche GT4 RS that we all got to be a passenger in. We didn’t drive them, drive them, Jameau, myself, Councillor Pai Augustine and Councillor Dave Cullen, who you know is an absolute car nut.
06:58
had a ride in them. So it was, and they actually opened it up for everyone else who was there as well. So it was a great time. And the next day at Muscle Maculata, the blue skies came out, there was no rain. So it was a perfect time for everyone to bring up their muscle cars and display them and chat. And it was a really great day. Well, I don’t know about you, but you couldn’t wipe the smile off Councillor Pine Augustine’s face, that’s for sure. She liked the adrenaline rush. I think, I think her dog went very, very fast. Yes, I think she would have liked to have taken that Porsche home. But anyway.
07:26
Listen, always good to catch up with you. And we look forward to doing it again next week. Thanks, Damo. Thanks to listeners. There we go, Mayor Teresa Harding joining us on the program. We’ll take a break back with more in a moment.

Join us as we catch up with Division 3 Councillor Marnie Doyle! In this episode, we dive into the latest happenings around Ipswich. Councillor Doyle discusses the post-election buzz, ongoing redevelopment projects, and the vibrant reopening of the Ipswich Art Gallery featuring Kiraleigh Robinson’s fascinating “Elsewhere” exhibition. Plus, we celebrate the touching tribute to WWII veteran Keith Pennell with a newly unveiled plaque, and gear up for the 15th birthday bash of the Queen’s Park Environmental Education Centre. Tune in for all this and more on our community-focused update!
00:00
It is time for us to have a little look at what’s been happening in your division and we’re going to division three and Councillor Marnie Doyle. Good morning. Good morning guys. Yeah good to chat to you and we haven’t actually chatted since the election So you’ve been extremely busy. What with the the redevelopment in the CBD and that haven’t you? Yeah, absolutely Hit the ground running post-election, you know, the office was still busy during the election period residents
00:27
across Division 3 are very active. So yeah, things just kept moving and straight back into it. Exactly. Doing good work. Yeah. Well, look, it’s good to see also that the Ipswich Art Gallery has reopened after getting all of the LED lighting installed. And it’s open with this new exhibition. Yeah, it’s great. So Ipswich-based artist, Kirralee Robinson, has a new art exhibition called Elsewhere, which is running through.
00:55
the 4th of August and it’s free and you don’t have to book. There’s an opening event on the 1st of June, head to the Pitch Art Gallery website for all of the details. Fantastic and Kirralee’s work features a series of minimalist and futuristic sculptures that have been crafted from industrial materials. Would you be a sight to see? Yeah absolutely, a world where discarded objects are transformed into art.
01:22
challenging you know disposability and celebrating curiosity and I love those types of exhibitions and seeing you know that really subjective interpretation that the artists bring to life. And of course if people haven’t gone along to the Ipswich Art Gallery why not because there is always something wonderful to see and some innovative exhibitions on display.
01:45
Yeah, absolutely head to the Ipswich Art Gallery website. The program is regularly updated and there’s lots of really exciting programming coming through particularly with school holidays just around the corner. Yes and of course lots for the kids to do there at the gallery as well. So check it all out at the Ipswich Art Gallery and of course you can go along and see that each and every day and largely it’s free. Now Keith Pennell, Plark, this is the council.
02:12
who has unveiled a new plant to recognise this well-known World War II vet. Yeah, really excited to see this project to fruition. Keith Pannell was one of our World War II veterans and a long-standing member of the Bundamba ANZAC Observance Committee. And so former councillor Andrew Fechner and I worked closely with the Observance Committee, including Keith, and everyone was very sad when Keith passed. So one of our…
02:40
ideas for our provisional projects councils get monies to spend so we come about the plaque idea so it was great to see that unveiled finally. Yeah and of course Mr. Pennell spent three years in active service during World War Two in the Pacific and served in Japan following the atomic bombing so he was right in the thick of things wasn’t he? He was and he was Ipswich citizen of the year in 2008.
03:06
deeply respected within the community and miss following his death in 2022. So he was a life member of the Ipswich RSL sub branch and like I said a very active committee member with the Binsambar Observance Committee, Brad Strong, who heads up that committee, brought the bugle along for the unveiling ceremony for the plaque and it was a very moving little ceremony and it was lovely. Residents actually came out from their homes that surround the park.
03:34
stood in their driveway as Brad paid the last post. It was just beautiful. Well that is great. Go and check it out. The new plaque is in the North Booval Park there and it is great to see that come to fruition after the hard work that you and former Councillor Andrew Fechner put into getting that as a reality. Something else we’ve got to celebrate too is the Queen’s Park Environmental
04:03
I know, first opened its doors in 2009, doesn’t seem that long ago, but to celebrate the milestone of welcoming the community to come and celebrate the birthday with us on Wednesday the 5th of June, which is also World Environment Day. Of course, and it’s also State of Origin Day too.
04:22
Well, I did not know that, but thank you for the heads up. There you go. You can go along and celebrate the Environmental Education Centre, then go off and watch the game as well. You can. And, you know, we’re really, really proud of the Queen’s Park Environmental Education Centre. In the past 12 months, we’ve had over 21,000 visitors come through and the programming offerings at the Education Centre are constantly refreshed. And, yeah, it’s a really great…
04:51
place to visit for families. It certainly is and of course they have a lot of school excursions that go to the centre now as well including a guided tour of the nearby Ipswich Nature Centre which has been doing good business too so those excursions offered three days a week and are very popular with school groups and that so people need to register to go along and
05:13
be a part of the 15th birthday celebrations don’t they? Yeah I invite everyone to jump on Council’s website and register their interest because it is an enormous achievement wonderful milestone for Ipswich. It certainly is.

We catch up with Jordan MP, Charis Mullen, for the latest updates in our State of Play segment, starting with the introduction of 50 cent public transport fares launching on August 5th, covering all bus, train, ferry, tram, and on-demand services. Charis shares the positive responses from commuters and highlights the significant savings this will bring to many.
We also dive into the official opening of two new buildings at Spring Mountain State School, a rapidly growing institution now serving over 700 students. These state-of-the-art facilities, including innovative learning spaces and nature play areas, mark a significant milestone for the community.
Lastly, we celebrate the success of the Greater Springfield Festival, a multicultural event organised by the Bharath Cultural Society, which saw over 15,000 attendees and 700 performances. Charis also teases the upcoming announcement of the Jordan Local Business Awards winners, recognising the hard work and dedication of local businesses.
00:00
You’re on the West Bremer Radio Breckie crew. And of course, we are coming to you live on west streaming live on the app and also on Amazon Alexa and Google Smart Home speakers. It is time for the state of play. And we head to the seat of Jordan and MP Charis Mullen. Good morning. Good morning, Damien. Always good to be with you on this bright, sunny morning. It certainly is. We’ll probably get a little bit of rain over the weekend, but we can handle that, can’t we? Absolutely. Exactly.
00:29
Now good news too that we can handle and that is these 50 cent public transport fees. Yeah very exciting and I have to tell you I’ve been getting some terrific responses. So we are lowering translating public transport fares to 50 cents per trip from the 5th of August and that’ll be across bus, train, ferry, tram and on-demand services. And it doesn’t matter how long the distance is, is it? That’s right so the transfer of services is included in that 50 cents.
00:58
So you know you can actually travel all the way up to the Sunshine Coast if that’s what you’d like to do But it is an actual terrific opportunity and we know it’s going to make a really big difference particularly with cost of living pressures at the moment And so many people and it’s switching commute You know to work or use the train to get to events in the city or catch the bus to school And we know that’ll be a great benefit to them It certainly will and I know you’ve been out and about on the local station platforms all over the place
01:27
Chatting to commuters and they seem very excited about it. Yeah, a lot of them have said they can’t wait That seems to be the the general feel Most people seem to know about it as well, which is great So I think it’s proven very popular and the message is definitely out there But you know, I spoke to a young woman who told me that she sent $150 a week on On public transport. Yeah. Yeah, so that will now be you know, you know, but you know $5
01:54
that she will be spending so that is a massive savings for people. And of course it saves you on parking too, I know that in Brisbane the average there is around about $79 a day to park. I know it’s really high parking costs particularly in the CBD, so we think that this will be a great benefit to a lot of people and you know I actually really enjoy getting on a train because you can do some work on there, on the way in, you can read a book it’s actually a great way to travel.
02:24
Now what I want you to do, Charis, is organize to get the CityCats to actually go down the Bremer, join up and transfer to Brisbane. How lovely would that be? I’ve got to say there is nothing like a lovely ferry ride across Brisbane, but yes, how lovely would it be if we could extend it all the way down? I’m not sure that’s in the planning at this time, but yeah.
02:45
We really should be utilizing our rivers actually a lot more I think for travel. Well I agree so have a little whisper in the Transport Minister’s ear, right? I will, I will. Now Spring Mountain State School, this week you went along to officially open two brand new buildings. Yes we did, rapidly growing Spring Mountain State School because what we’ve seen is a rapidly growing suburb there, the Spring Mountain suburb is fast growing.
03:13
Over the past five years, we’ve grown that school, would you believe, from about 50 students to now over 700. Wow. So we really have needed these brand new buildings. And they are absolutely spectacular. State-of-the-art facilities, innovative learning spaces. It’s been really fantastic to see. And very excited was the new principal, Sheree Moore. Of course, the school staff there on hand, and the builders as well.
03:40
Yeah, so what’s really interesting about these buildings, Damian, is that they were prefabricated. So for the most part built off site and brought on site. And I’ve got to tell you, you cannot tell the difference. So it’s actually a really great and easy way to build these days, but also it’s less problematic for the school because they don’t have that sort of massive construction happening on their site whilst kids are still around playing and learning. So we’ve got two new buildings and new buildings.
04:09
two-story learning centre. It’s got 16 learning spaces in it and then we’ve got another new two-story prep building for our lovely youngest learners and that’s four new learning spaces and a fantastic new outdoor playground. They’re very much into nature play at Spring Mountain State School and so it’s been just lovely to see just what a great space that that will be for all of the students. Well congratulations to all of the staff and students at Spring Mountain State School.
04:37
on the addition of those two new buildings. And also the Greater Springfield Festival. It was held a few weeks ago. It was a massive success, wasn’t it? Yeah, it really was. I mean, I just want to really give a shout out to the organizers of this festival, Barnum Cultural Society. They’re one of our really wonderful kind of Indian community organizations. And I really want to emphasize just what an incredible event this was. You know, it started about 11 years ago. It was a much smaller, modest event.
05:07
and it was there to really celebrate our Indian and Tamil New Year, but it has grown into a major multicultural festival in Greater Springfield. Yeah, and I know everyone had a fantastic time, didn’t they? They really did. I mean, this is kind of, the stats are actually unbelievable. Over 700 performances, 60 stalls, close to 100 performances on the day, and I think their estimation of the number of people who’ve been there,
05:33
visited Greater Springfield, around 15,000 people attended. So I have to tell you this has become a real signature event for the Greater Springfield area and it’s one that the Queensland Government has been really proud to support. We’re a big proud supporter of the event under our Celebrating Multicultural Events program and Ipswich City Council as well, along with some of our local businesses as well who popped on. But it was a huge, huge day. Fantastic.
06:00
Well look, speaking of local businesses, it would be remiss of me not to quiz you on how the final day or two of the Jordan Local Business Awards is going. I tell you, it is gonna be close. But we have had thousands of votes coming in for our business awards. 30 finalists, we’re down now to effectively choosing the 10 winners in each of the categories.
06:26
it’s been fierce competition and i can feel a lot of the business that they have been breaking themselves uh… but they’ve got a lot of very and supportive customers they’ve all been getting on inviting for them it’s going to be very exciting i don’t know the final result yet and i’m gonna like hold off now and white that’s a bit of a surprise for me as well uh… but it’s been a wonderful opportunity to small business month really support our local people you know it is a bit of a tough environment out there for them at the moment
06:56
But they are doing an incredible job and the community is showing lots and lots of love and support through our Jordan Local Business Awards. I’m really pleased with how this has gone and I hope to bring it back again next year if I can. Fantastic. Now, when are you doing the big announcement? So we will close, obviously they close the voting, we’ll close the voting 5pm on Friday.
07:19

00:09
how it’s making me feel. All right, everyone. Here we go. Let’s do it on a Wednesday morning. The Limelight Cinema’s podcast, Damo and Lex. Good morning. All right. Let’s talk movies. All right. First of all, we’re going to talk about that The Garfield movie starring Chris Pratt and Samuel L. Jackson and Alexis. I feel like I should have opened just then with like meow.
00:39
Good meowning. No, I’m glad you didn’t. You’re so welcome. I just did anyway. I think that’s a bit of the action that you’re going to see on the big screen this week with Garfield. Of course we have the Monday hating, lasagna loving our favourite feline friend Garfield who is being voiced by Chris Pratt who we recently saw last year in Super Mario Brothers as Mario himself.
01:09
Um, which we’ve also got, uh, joining us is Vic Garfield’s dad, long lost father who dumped him on the doorstep of, um, his human who currently looks after him and has come back to reunite and go on a- What’s the human’s name? Badass adventure. John. I remembered. I’m good at this. I’m good at my job sometimes. Um, we did have a Sony foundation, um, charity screening of this over the weekend.
01:35
We’ve had such fantastic responses from the everyone enjoyed it. There were so many giggles happening in that cinema. It was such a fun time for both adults and kids, for those of us who have grown up with Garfield and those who are only just being introduced to the world of Garfield and all of the hairballs and the delightful things that come with them. Garfield had to say hairballs. There’s always a Hebel. There’s cats involved. How’d you breakfast?
02:02
Fair enough. Well, I’ll let you two to discuss hairballs. Will I tell everyone that’ll be hitting the big screens as of tomorrow and you can get tickets on lime to go along and see Garfield, the movie. Hold on to your seats, folks. It should be a good one. Now we’ve got an American in Paris, the musical. Of course, this has got an all star cast as well.
02:27
Yes, now we’ve been running our musical seasons for a little while now, and this is the second last of our musical seasons. So American in Paris from tomorrow, just for special screenings for tomorrow, and then our last one, which will be 42nd Street next month. And that will be the end of our musicals, although we do have coming at the end of August, start of September, Andre Rieu is coming back to the big screen. So it is not the end of musicals completely for us in the land of cinemas.
02:55
just the end of our world’s greatest musical seasons, which we’ve been running for a couple of months now. And we’ve really enjoyed seeing this. We’ve had Titanic back on the big screen. We also got obviously American and Paris and 42nd Street ahead of us. So some really great musicals on the big screen. And I say this every time, it’s the best way to see them. If you’re not going to the real thing, it’s the next best thing. Yeah, it certainly is. And of course, this was a Tony Award winning a Broadway musical.
03:22
And, uh, inspired by the Oscar winning MGM film and has some of the great music from George and Ira Gershwin, including swan and I got rhythm. I got music. I got my girl who could ask for anything more. Yeah. Uh, so you’ll be able to go along and hear all of those. Sorry. What was that? They most serenading us. This is my favorite part of the show. Every week. Yeah. Well, I try my hardest. So.
03:49
Look, get along and see it. American in Paris, the musical. And that’ll be, when, when’s that on Alexis? We’ve got one special screening tomorrow morning at 10 30 AM. Fantastic. Don’t forget Mad Max Furiosa is in cinemas now as well. And also what we’ve got high queue dumpster battle. Is that it? Yes. High queue dumpster battle. Now we keep getting this mixed up with dumpster fire.
04:17
Don’t know myself and our marketing coordinator go, high Q dumpster dumpster dumpster. Nope. Now anime has become such a popular genre. We’ve seen a boy and the heron, which of course comes from the team at studio Ghibli and absolutely huge animation studio. And we’ve also got this week high Q dumpster battle. Now this is an incredibly popular anime coming to the big screen in both subbed and dubbed versions.
04:45
And we do have a range of screenings across the whole week. So for those who are coming along for the dubbed versions, obviously English dubbed for those and subbed, we will have subtitles on the screen. Whatever your preference, we find that our anime fans absolutely love the subbed versions because it’s the most authentic, you know, original version of the film, but for our families who do want to come along and see Haikyuu Dumpster Battle, they do prefer it in the dubbed version. So we have a range available right through the weekend.
05:13
Um, and for this first relief of the movie release of the movie as well. Also, I, I, Damo, I know you’ve just noted, Furiosa, I have to just note that this movie over the weekend has absolutely gone gangbusters on the audience reviews for this. We, on Saturday morning, I was checking rotten tomatoes and it was sitting at 97% certified fresh on rotten tomatoes. And the critic score was at 89%. And those critics can be pretty harsh. So.
05:43
Some absolutely fantastic reviews for the movie. I loved it. I would go and see it again. And I watched it with our brilliant electrician who was helping us with our installation of our laser projectors. And I showed him the first 10 minutes and he goes, I would just, I don’t want to leave now. He, he watched the first 10 minutes. He’s like, so do I have to go to work today? It just looks so great on the big screen. Fair enough. Now taking you back to Haiku, the dumpster battle, what an all star cast.
06:11
We’ve got Kaito Ishikawa, Yuki Kaji, Yuichi Nakamura, Haseo Egawa, Koki Uchiyama and Ayumi Murase, who are all starring in this. And the director, by the way, is Susumu Mitsunaka. So if you want to go and see Haiku, the Dumps to Battle. Now you’re just showing off, Damo. Thank you so much. Round of applause, Damo. That was impressive.
06:40
Thank you so much. So I’m here all week. Uh, yes. Don’t forget also next week. It’s the big battle on the rugby pitch. Yes. Uh, the, uh, state of origin, eh? Yeah. State of origin on the big screen. We’ve already started selling tickets for this. So we’ve got, of course, New South Wales versus Queensland and the biggest battle that we see in our NRL.
07:04
We are so excited for this. I actually had noted that most of the games, I think all three of the games are now sold out. So this is the next best thing to get up on the big screen. We are doing tickets at just $10 each and that includes your drink on arrival. Otherwise there is also a $20 package, which includes a drink and hot dog when you come along and watch it on the big screen. Of course, our bar will be open right through the screening as well to catch all the action on the big screen. Fantastic. Instead of just booking for the first game, why not book for three games?
07:34
Game one, June five, game two, June 26, Gangory, July 17th. You can get your tickets and secure your seat to the big game, the state of origin, as New South Wales and Queensland clash on the rugby league field. And you can do that on limelightcinemas.com.au
07:52
Alex is always good to chat and I’ll look forward to doing it next week. Such pleasure. Talk to you next week. All right. There you go. Done and dusted for another week. The Limelight Cinema’s podcast and we’ll be back with more action in a moment. Stay with us.

Oh good morning Sparky. Alright now of course Reconciliation Week and NAIDOC Week are not too far around the corner but this week you want to chat about an Indigenous artist in Redbank Plains.
00:29
Yeah, I thought, well, you know, we’ve got NAIDOC week and Reconciliation week just around the corner. I thought, yeah, so, you know, there’s going to be a lot of different functions being held. And, um, I thought, why not introduce this artist, down at Redbank Plains. Her name is Krystal Hurst. She does a lot of different indigenous artwork and in particular, she’s got a lot of different earrings. Now the earrings they’re made.
00:57
to represent like galahs and cockatoos and kookaburras. And she’s also got, this one’s my favorite. I’ve actually bought these earrings and they’re emu earrings, just the feathers of the emu. Yeah, and so they’re very beautiful. And so I love those ones. And there’s leafs and all different sort of indigenous sort of artwork incorporated in these earrings. So.
01:24
It’s a good time to have a look and get them if you always in particularly if you’re going to any of the The events that have been held around Ipswich, but she’s also got different artworks on prints that you can have a look at all Indigenous all that she’s done. So get onto her website. Her website is Gilawara Arts So that’s g i l l a w a r r a And have a look at all of her artwork. she does come from
01:53
the northern beaches of New South Wales. We won’t hold that against her. But she’s up here, she’s been here for the last two years, living in Redbank Plains and really doing some really good artwork. So get on there, have a look at what she’s got. Telling you now, you won’t be disappointed. All right, so now you got the Emu earrings. You reckon you’re gonna go for another type of earring? You’re eyeing another one off?
02:21
I’ve got the emu earrings, but I’ve also got like a leaf, like gum leaf as well that she’s carved out. And she’s, yeah, I’ve got those. I love those as well, because they drop down really nicely. So yeah, I’ll go and get a couple more as well, because they’re really great, because they’re done with things that are in nature. And that’s the premise of her artwork, is taking things from nature and be able to create it again. So yeah, she loves it.
02:50
She’s got a real affinity with the earth. So yeah, she’s a great artist. Absolutely, go and check her out.

Here we go, it’s a Tuesday morning and you’re right here on the Burekky Club online and also on the Free West Bremer Radio app where we are keeping it local and it’s time to get our arts into gear! Hello Brad! I’m back mate, I’m back. I know, you’re back. We’ve had a very exciting weekend out at Lake Mugger with an artist’s treat with Arts Connect. Oh I saw something about that. It was really good, it was awesome weekend. I’m glad. But we’re back in reality now, back at work, Tuesday morning, who cares, Monday’s gone.
00:29
But mate, I’ve got a very important guest with us this week. Ah yes, no more funny business. No funny business, no. And we’ve got Stephen Hoog- Hoog-Aaah! I knew it was going to get wrong. How hard is this? I don’t know, it’s Tuesday, my brain’s not working yet. But Hoog-Aaah. Hoog-Aaah. Anyway.
00:51
I told you it would be a brisk scream, it’s not for the right reasons. I forgive you, it’s okay. But Stephen, now you’re an Indigenous artist. Yes. Which I have actually met you at one of our exhibitions a few years back. Yes. And you had some incredible artwork and got talking and then we found out you’re sort of related in a funny way to Adele, who we’ve had on the show numerous times. But you’ve got something very special to talk about in regards to Indigenous art and…
01:18
not so nice things happening in regards to that. So tell us about yourself, how long you’ve been painting, and then tell us about what inspired you to get onto this other, look looking after indigenous artists’ rights. Yeah, so yeah, I’m a descendant from the Gamilaro Nation. So I’m related to Saunders and Pearsons. Okay. Yes, I’ve been doing it for 25 years.
01:42
in the arts industry, doing all kinds of different things. Like I’ve done G20 Summit, I’ve done jerseys for Brisbane Lions, Queensland Reds. I’ve had my artwork on race cars. I’ve done a lot. You’ve done a lot. I actually have seen the photos of the race cars that you’ve printed, that you had your work on. Yes, perhaps, yeah. But coming from that, someone actually copied your work from that, didn’t they? Yes, well, myself and a few other artists are one of the most copied artists in Australia.
02:10
And that’s like through Arts Law Australia. Yeah. They’ve done the study on myself, like case studies to teach copyright lawyers. So yeah, I’ve found my stuff on V8 supercar helmets.
02:25
the trophy for the Darwin round a couple years ago. My artwork was on that. My artwork’s been on, I think it was Fiji rugby team, I think. So don’t quote me on that one, but I might start on so many years everything. Don’t sue us if that’s wrong, okay? Yes. But how?
02:46
What do you feel when you actually see your work as being copied and you’ve got no sort of recognition for it, you’ve got no payment for it? Like, you’d have to annoy her a tad, wouldn’t it? It’s devastating. Yeah, I hope it would be. Because Aboriginal art’s cultural. Yes. So everything I put into it, it’s from me and from my culture, my history, you know, my family’s history, thousands of years. What I’ve learnt and it’s personal. And then when someone just takes it and then just does whatever they want for it, it’s
03:16
And a lot of these places are commercial places too, aren’t they? They’re not just the ordinary old run of the mill person just copying your work for hanging on their fridge. Some of them are, yes. But some of them are just other artists. Other artists. There’s like other Aboriginal artists do it. There’s souvenir companies that do it. There’s overseas companies that do it. So yes, there’s all kinds of people that do it. And so you have actually been investing a lot of your time now in trying to stop this, you know.
03:45
Yes. Talking with politicians and lawyers and whatever. Government, yes. Government people to try and put a stop to this. Have you had much success? I know this is a pretty icky question, but have you had much success or response to the understand how important it is to your culture? Well there’s, it’s hard to say because they’re trying but they’re not trying. It’s the government. So they always go, yes, let’s do all this, make a big fuss about it. Then they forget about it. People forget about it.
04:12
But what I’m trying to do with some other people is to stop the importation of fake aboriginal art into Australia Yep. Yep, because if you’re doing that you’re taking away the jobs from indigenous people. Yeah
04:25
money going out of Australia as well. It’s hurting everybody when this happens. And it’s worth like, I think it was $2.3 billion or something. And that’s the industry that’s… That’s the industry as a whole. Well as I was telling you earlier, I bought Aboriginal, Indigenous artwork thinking, oh you know, and then when I’ve actually researched it, this artist doesn’t even exist, you know. And that, well, hurts me, because I’ve forked out money for something I don’t even want to hang on the wall anymore.
04:55
Aboriginal art by an authentic artist and then you find out it’s not. It has you. It does. It’s hurting everybody. Yeah, exactly. Tourists come over from different places. They come over, want to buy a souvenir that’s supposed to be Australian painted by authentic Aboriginal artists and it’s made in Indonesia. Hand-painted Indonesia coming over. And then they whack a label on it saying that it’s someone else, like an Aboriginal person. And royalties are paid. And this should be stopped. It should be stopped. It shouldn’t even be questionable.
05:24
any way, shape or form it should be stopped because it’s hurting Australia, it’s hurting our indigenous culture, it’s hurting the people who are buying it. It’s hurting the industry, the souvenir industry, all those tourists come over expecting to get that sort of stuff and it’s not real. Like it’s not as bad as it used to be. But, you know, you can go into different souvenir places in the city, airports, the terminal, the cruise terminal. And they’ve got boomerangs in there that’s hand painted in Indonesia. Yeah.
05:52
shipped over here and they whack a label on it with an Aboriginal person on it saying this is his artwork. Like how is that possible? And how we…
05:59
And this is a sad thing, is people are buying it thinking they’re doing the right thing. But so I’ve always said to people probably, and I don’t want to put other businesses out of work, but maybe stay away from the souvenir shops that aren’t run by actual Indigenous people because the chances are that work is not going to be original. In some cases, yes, because I’m in the souvenir industry. I paint boom rings for the airports. Oh, okay. I see. This is where it’s so hard.
06:29
spaces and people that own those souvenir shops that need that education. Yep, good. So do you think they’re actually generally buying them thinking they’re real? It comes up to the sales people as well selling those products. If they’re good salesmen they’ll sell them as authentic when they’re not. So what we’ve got to do is get the government involved.
06:50
and put a stop to it. It’s a pretty simple solution. You just stop the importation of hand-painted Aboriginal-style artwork and it stops everything. We’re not saying don’t stop hardwood coming into Australia or anything like that. It’s just hand-painted Aboriginal-style stuff. That will stop a lot of the stuff in the souvenir industry. Because she was saying that, like, can I use these as an example? These are your designs and unfortunately it’s cheaper to get them made overseas.
07:20
Oh, it’s made in China. Sorry Glenn, if you can just phrase them up a little bit more so we can see it. There we go! Well it’s about time you come in Brad, any time. No, you guys were just having a lovely chat, I’m all about it. These are awesome braces I think. Linyards. But like we had the discussion before, when I said that they’re made in China, but the artwork is mine. It’s yours. And I get them sourced and I get them made. I’d love to get them made in Australia, but the cost is way too much and people won’t pay that much.
07:48
because people doing it hard. Well it is and it is very hard. I mean people are cutting back on buying.
07:54
But I do work with souvenir companies who do get stuff made in China with my artwork on it. And I do get paid for all these. And it’s generally not hand, like there’ll be more your designs. It’s more my designs, yes. Rather than actual hand painted vulgarans and things like that. That’s not coming up. So these items are still quite good to buy. Yeah, they’re quality manufactured properly. Yep. And I try and use sustainable factories. But if I was buying this, how would I know, would they like have your designer name and everything on them? Yes, they’ll have a photo of me, all my information. And everything.
08:24
Well look, we’re gonna, don’t go away, because we’re gonna keep going. We’re getting a wrap up here, but we’re coming back for round two, because this is actually very interesting. All right. Of course it is, it’s on our radio show. We only have the interesting stuff here. They only bring the interesting people in. And then Glenn’s just here anyway. And then I’ll just hear. Getting your arts into gear, it’s a Tuesday morning, back soon.
00:00
Back with part two, getting your arts into gear, Tuesday morning with Goliath Smith. Hello Brad. Hello. This is part two now, we’ve been talking this- It is part two. Yeah. We’ve been talking- You get two for the price of one. Can I have a go now? No. Jeez, I tell ya. Now, Steve, we were talking about, you know, instances of where you’ve seen fake Indigenous work being used.
00:23
in companies or businesses or whatever. Now you’ve got an example, we’re not gonna name names, but you’ve got an example, you’ve seen it just recently. Yeah, just recently I was going through social media and I saw a post for indigenous workshops and indigenous business, like stuff like that. And the artwork that was on there was fake. Oh, well. It was it, Adobe stock image. Someone overseas had just copied an Australian. And they’re promoting an indigenous workshop? Yes.
00:52
Yes. Is that for Indigenous people? I think it was for Indigenous people, yes. So I just kindly messaged them and said, hey, you know, maybe this is fake art. Yeah. Use another image. Yes. So even something like that, that actually has, you know, a good, you know, good reason. They’ve got a good intentions, but someone just dropped the ball along the line somewhere. Yeah. And you just let them know you don’t use them or anything. They change it. Yeah, they change it straight away. They put.
01:20
Soon as they like seeing my message, they pulled it down straight away, changed it, got rid of it and fixed it. And then send me a message saying, sorry about that. Well, also, you know, like, it could have got worse. It could have been a real hassle for them. But you see it all the time. Like there’s websites like AliExpress, Wish, Tmoo, all them, they all sell fake stuff. And you see some promotional companies selling fake stuff. And apparently they’re sponsored by the government, which I’m not.
01:48
Okay, government, get your act together here. You know, like this is serious stuff we’re talking about. And as I said, it affects everyone from indigenous communities to indigenous culture, to the people buying it, to the businesses buying it. So it’s not just a small, as you said, it’s what, $2.3 billion industry. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, and it’s- Don’t quote me on that. I won’t quote you, but Steve said. But like it’s important stuff and we need to get on top of this. I wanna know, how can we help?
02:18
Like how can the listener, or if you’re on social media, how can you help? The best thing to do is just ask questions. Like if people aren’t going to answer those questions, then they’ve got something to hide. Any Indigenous person who loves their culture will tell you everything about it. So you just need to ask those questions. And as we know, there’s the most incredible Indigenous…
02:43
amount of artists within Ipswich, you know, from our exhibition we had over 18 artists of that and from that I’ve learnt there’s quite a large amount out there. And you don’t have to travel far to get incredible original Indigenous artists. They said just seek advice and ask questions and the art gallery should have a list of artists. I gave it to them.
03:05
Yeah, well they can come and see you and talk to you about it. Yeah, come talk to me, yeah, I’ll put you in the right track. You can Google their name. You can Google their name, check out Facebook, social media, if they’ve got a following, they’ll be there. They’ll be there. But if you want to buy locally, there’s an amazing amount of indigenous, incredible indigenous artists locally. You don’t have to go far. You don’t have to go as far as Sydney. There are amazing artists out there. They’re incredible, you know. And I’m lucky enough to meet a few like Steve, you know, so it’s really good.
03:34
And yeah, so that’s what we can do as at our grassroots level. And if we do something that we’re not sure about, get under Steve. Well you can even contact your local arts community and indigenous community. Definitely, yeah. What we might do, Clem, is that list of artists that you’ve given to the arts gallery, let’s throw it up on our website. Let’s throw it up, so. Let’s do that. Yeah, and I’ll get Steve to help me with that too, because she must know a lot of.
04:04
artists that I don’t know, so that’d be great. So watch this space. Watch this space. We’ll get that up in a couple of weeks. Yeah, look mate, I’m gonna thank you so much for coming in. I know how important this is to you and how important it is to me as well. And yeah, all the best with future endeavors and let’s hope the government starts listening. Not just listening, but actually acting. Yeah, it’s more, they listen, but they don’t act. We need you to act, guys. Come on. Otherwise, I’ll…
04:31
petition nude out front of your office if you don’t do something. Let’s say, yeah, that’ll make a move. Let’s get them. Oh, so many lines. Keep it clean, man. Keep it clean. This is a family shot. Oh, yeah. Okay. Thank you, everyone. Thank you, Glenn. We have just got our arts and gear for another week. We’ll be back with more in a moment.

But I’m assuming it’s like a concrete thing, image you give me Bob, that needs attending to. So yes, there is some closure there, but we have other public pools. So we’ve got the Bundamba Swim Centre, the Georgie Conway Leichhardt Swim Centre, and obviously Orion Lagoon. They’ll all be open during the period when the Goodner Pool’s under repair. Fantastic. So still options there, but it’s getting a bit cool for swimming these days, isn’t it? I know, that’s why they tend to, look, I’m not an engineer.
01:11
but I’m pretty sure they tend to do these repairs in the cooler months. Yeah, alright. If you want further information and updates for other projects in Div 2, then all you have to do is jump on the Council’s interactive civic maps at ipswitch.qld.gov.au. Now, of course, there is some roadworks happening as well. Nightworks on the Centenary Motorway Exit 32 off-ramp. Yes, so the nightworks are continuing to get the Exit 30…
01:39
to off-ramp will be affected and it’s going to be extended into next week. So I know people don’t like roadworks right but people don’t like congested roads either so we’ve got to do these things so then we get better roads. So it’s a short-term pain for long-term gain but there’ll be traffic control and controllers there that will direct the traffic in place.
02:04
And this upgrade, the Springfield Parkway, Springfield Green Bank arterial is the biggest in council’s history by the way. That’s why it had to get broken up into three different pieces. And it’s not just us that need to do works, it’s all the underground works and stuff too, that I didn’t actually realise before I become a councillor. But there’s like 13 underground services that they need to move and fix and manoeuvre. So…
02:28
when people are like there’s no one there doing anything but usually it’s because it’s a lot of it’s water mains, it’s internet, it’s power but the info for those updates as well can be found in that interactive mapping too that you just listed before Damo there’ll be links there for this information. Yep all right fantastic and of course there is some other works there’s selective vegetation clearing within the Springfield Parkway road reserve towards stage one of the
02:58
Spri arterial intersection that’s taking place. It should be about up to eight weeks, yeah? Yeah, so at this stage we’re looking at eight weeks, the timing of that clearing. That’s weather permitting of course, so you know, but strict environmental controls are in place for that work, so there should be minimal impacts to traffic I guess during those works.
03:18
Yeah, I think so. We’re trying to make sure that the impact to road users and residents is kept to an absolute minimum. There’s also a council project for bus stop upgrades that are happening to existing bus stops along Lakeside Avenue and Springfield Lakes. Yep. So that work is getting undertaken so that it improves the usability of these bus stops for the accessibility for people with disability.
03:44
Yeah, all right, fantastic. Now, as we know, and we reported on a little bit earlier this month, the rebel domain zero depth water play area with the fantastic tipping bucket is closed to do some flooding repairs. Yeah. So the zero depth water play area, which is where the tipping bucket is, you know, your favourite demo. Oh, I know. There’s just some work that has to be done to rectify the.
04:12
damage sustained during the the flooding flash flooding so a lot of water come through Redbell domain because that’s a natural creek line and the plant room contains a dosing equipment and that kind of got inundated so they need to repair that. So that’s a quite a big repair job and work is expected to be finished in early September.
04:35
There was so much going on in that area, isn’t there? Look, I really encourage people to go onto that. It’s switch.qld.gov.au to follow those interactive civic maps because they kind of list out things that are happening now projects and things that are happening, going to be happening in the near future. And a lot of these things, when residents are actually impacted, the council engagement offices do actually reach out and send notices and things like that as well, but that website’s always handy.
05:02
Fantastic. Now, of course, we do have the Festival of Horsepower coming up, and I know you are going to be front and center. so your a Rev Head all right, good. Yeah, yeah, no, it’s going to be fantastic. So we’ve got obviously the, I’ll just call it the winter nats, right? Oh, the winter gnats, yep, yep. Yeah, so the winter gnats are coming up and I’m, you know, I always love to go out and see the winter gnats. Yes. And that’s part of that Festival of Force Power as well, because you’ve got the Ipswich Cup in there and all of these events put Ipswich on the map.
05:51
You’ve got like from one horsepower thing in a jig to the next really. And for the very first time this time around the Queensland Kart Championships as well. Yeah. So look, these things just get, keep getting better and better. Like our planes, trains and autos festival that just finished up a few weeks ago. Um, you know, there’s, you know, we’re always moving things into these event spaces new to make them new and interesting.
06:17
Yes. Not me personally, obviously the great events team and it’s Switch City Council. And so, you know, you never going to go and get the same thing with these events. Like they’re always just getting better and improving. And it’s, it’s really exciting and bring on good weather. Exactly. We don’t want rain for the drags. No, no, we don’t. And there’s one thing I want to see during the two days of thunder, I want to see in a classic touring car, you.
06:46
against Dave, Councillor Dave Cullen. Oh, cool. And I want to see ratio demo. I’m going to win. And I want to see you take on Willowbank Raceway. Yeah, I’m down. I’m down. All right. I’ll put the challenge out there. So let’s see if Councillor Cullen takes up the option. I, you know, he’s a cheater though, right? Oh, is he? Yeah, he’s cheeky. He’s really, really cheeky. He like swaps out drivers and carts.
07:15
Etc, etc. So we’re going to have to do some scrutineering prior to the race, but line that up. I think we just screw the door shut and then he can’t get out. I like that too. Yeah, ipsw is where you can find out all those details. Always great to chat to you, Nick, and you have a wonderful weekend and I hope it’s a
07:40
Yeah, thanks for your time, We’ll catch up soon. Thanks so much. There we go, Deputy Mayor and Division Two Councillor Nicole Jonic we’ll take a break. Come back with more in a moment.

Tune in as we dive into the excitement of Limelight Cinemas. Today, we’re hyped for “Furiosa,” the new Mad Max saga starring Chris Hemsworth and Anya Taylor-Joy, which was filmed in the Australian outback and received an eight-minute standing ovation at Cannes.
We’ll also discuss the upcoming “Garfield” movie, featuring Chris Pratt and Samuel L. Jackson, promising a fun, family-friendly adventure. Plus, get the scoop on upcoming blockbusters like “Deadpool and Wolverine,” “Bad Boys Ride or Die,” “Inside Out 2,” and “Despicable Me 4.” Don’t miss out—join us for all the cinematic thrills and spills!
00:00
Good morning Damo and good morning Alexis. Good morning.
00:27
All right. I’m excited Lex, let me tell you, cause I want to get to Line Line Cinemas and see Furiosa, Mad Max Saga. Oh, absolutely. Now we have just seen the stars from Furiosa in Australia with Chris Hemsworth, Anya Taylor-Joy, and of course George Miller gracing us with their presence in Sydney for some of the first screenings of this movie. Now this was actually shot in…
00:54
Australia in the outback of New South Wales. So in a town of Hay and also Silverton. Hey, hey, yeah. Hey, you. Which Silverton’s actually considered a ghost town with their total population of 48 people. It’s fun. Everyone would know everyone. Absolutely. It just, we would just feel like your family.
01:17
So they shot this in Australia, which we always find exciting. You know, this film is very Australian. You listen to the accents. From the shots that we see in the trailer, very vast, dry, outback style scenes. So the film is currently sitting at 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and it’s a prequel slash spin-off?
01:45
of 2015’s Mad Max Fury Road. And it’s gonna highlight Furiosa’s origin story of her being taken from her family as she puts together, puts together the means of finding her way home. Now, this movie was so well received at the Cannes Film Festival this week that it received an eight minute standing ovation. Wow. Incredible. Wow. Absolutely incredible. That’s huge. Yeah, so bring on the Aussies. I love.
02:14
any of our movies that we can really drive home that great Aussie. I’m not going to say Aussie culture because I feel like Mad Max is not the movie that you want to compare to Australian culture, but listening to the great Australian talent and accents of our people. Well, it’s going to be great. And I hear the cinematography for this movie is absolutely tremendous.
02:43
Oh, for sure. We put in these two, our two new lasers into our XD cinemas and my favourite trailer to watch when we were doing testing was Furiosa because the scenes are just phenomenal on those screens. It is so bright and crisp that you are just simply blown away. Now I was speaking to my boss today about actually the release of Furiosa and he said, you’ve got to have this one. Crank the sound, it’s high impact.
03:10
You’ve got to just see it on the biggest screen with the sound cranked right up, sit back and relax and enjoy this one because it is an absolute ride. Yep, fantastic. It’s George Miller’s Furiosa, a mad max saga. Fury is Born starring Chris Hemsworth and Anya Taylor-Joy hitting the big screens this week at Limelight Cinemas. The other one I was looking forward to seeing too and this shows my kids side.
03:39
is the Garfield movie. Do you know what, Damo? You are more than welcome to show your kids side. We’ve just seen, we’ve seen IF, just a slightly sidetracked, but we’ve seen IF release this week. And I have seen more adults in that movie than I have children. And I’m so glad because that movie was made for us even more so than the kids. I think it is more for us to…
04:05
remind us to be kids again, to remind us to use some imagination sometimes and to sit back and actually be a kid again. So you know what? I love these kids movies that also engage families, both young and young at heart. Those who, you know, I know so many adults are so excited about Garfield. I know I am and I swear sometimes I probably use my seven year olds as an excuse to go and see kids movies. But they’re great. You just go out there and enjoy yourself, Alexis. Be you.
04:34
For sure. Honestly, I’ve seen F twice already. Don’t think for me. It’s not even been out a week. It’s been out a week today and I’ve seen it twice. So I loved it. Honestly, every parent, every adult, everyone who needs that gentle reminder that they need to be a kid again, take some tissues if you’re an adult because you definitely feel the themes of that movie more than children do. It’ll probably go straight over their head, but for us big kids.
05:02
It’s definitely a reminder of, you know, being kids again. Um, and I think Garfield is also going to see a similar audience. Like it’s going to see our families for sure, but also adults who have grown up with Garfield. Now there is, um, Garfield is being voiced by Chris Pratt, which we obviously saw as the fabulous Super Mario last year. And he is joined by Samuel L. Jackson as Vic, his dad, which is kind of fun.
05:28
Yeah. Now he is of course our favourite feline. He is the world famous Monday hating, lasagna loving, indoor cat that is embarking on an outdoor journey, much to his disgust. That this adventure is gonna put the pow in meow. The pow in meow. Oh, fantastic. I love it. Now Garfield’s left on the doorstep of course of his unsuspecting human John.
05:56
who is definitely unsuspecting when he puts an entire pizza in front of him and he consumes it in about 0.3 seconds flat. So he does absolutely love his pizzas, linden lasagnas and all of that good food. But it wouldn’t be Garfield, of course, without his canine friend, Odie, who is also joining him in the Garfield movie as well. And they are roped into a high stakes heist with Garfield’s dad, Vic, who are they?
06:24
who he is reunited with in this movie. So lots of fun for the family, lots of fun for us as adults who have grown up with this and we do have a special charity screening for this movie this weekend. Fantastic, look forward to seeing that Garfield. On the big screen now of course we do have presales going for a couple of big blockbusters coming over the next month or two. The first one of course Deadpool and Wolverine.
06:51
Oh my gosh, this went on sale at midnight on Monday. Now we get these beautiful emails from Disney going, you’re going on sale on Monday night, but also don’t tell anyone. We’re not allowed to tell anyone. So very excitingly, we are finally on sale for Deadpool and Wolverine. Now this releases 25th of July, but we do have advanced screenings the night before from 6pm. They are basically almost every half hour. We’ve gone hard at this one.
07:18
And it’s going to be massive. I can’t say anything about it. I’m strictly under embargo. I’m just really, really, really excited for this movie. So this is releasing 25th of July and on sale with our advanced screenings from the 24th of July, XD and Lounge. Remembering our XD cinemas have two beautiful new laser projectors, so that is the place to see Deadpool and Wolverine. And we also have
07:45
Bad Boys Ride or Die, which is also releasing in June. Our tickets are on sale for that. And then for the kiddies, right in time for the school holidays, we will see Inside Out 2, which tickets are on sale now. And Despicable Me 4 goes on sale from tomorrow. So we’ve basically got the major blockbuster releases, minus a couple. We’ve got A Quiet Place Day 1 that still needs to make its appearance. And now our tickets on sale, but.
08:11
some huge movies coming up in this June, July period. And I absolutely cannot wait. I’m so here for it. I’m for it. Looking forward to it, of course, so you can get all the session information and tickets by visiting lime Don’t forget also the Ampol State of Origin series coming up, you can get tickets for that on the big screen as well, which should be a lot of fun too. So jump onto the website lime
08:40
Alright, thank you everyone, thank you Lexus. Thanks so much, I’ll see you next week. Thanks Damo. You’re welcome. Alright, we’ll be back with more Brachyclub action in a moment. Stay with us.

Do you feel efficient this morning, Pi? Oh, I do. That’s why I’m here to show my efficiency and tell you all about it.
00:22
Oh, love it. Now, these are actually the Energy Efficient Kits, which you can get from Ipswich Libraries. Yeah, I came across them and I thought, what a great tool to be able to save. You know, when cost of living is, the pressure is on at the moment, and why not just try anything to try and save a dollar or two here or there? So, Council have got this kit that you can…
00:46
used to find out exactly where the deficiencies in your household is. So you can measure the water flow, they’ve got a cup, they’ve got thermometers, energy meters. The toolkit comes with all the equipment and the instructions to help you identify the issues that might be affecting the efficiency of your energy in your home. So
01:12
You know, that should be good. You know, try to save a dollar or two here or there. So you need to book it because they’re in, they’re in high demand sparky. Yeah. I believe there’s even a waitlist. Councils only have 10 kits. So you’ve got to place your reservation and once one becomes available, they’ll contact you and get one out to you. So it comes in a great big pack. The instructions are there. Let’s start reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and save some money. Absolutely. And.
01:42
We’ve been talking a dollar or two, but in the long run, I mean, a dollar or two can add up to a massive saving, can’t it? Oh, definitely. And everyone’s trying to, you know, say that dollar or two, because you need that dollar or two somewhere else, Sparky, let me tell you. Yeah, absolutely. We’re all feeling the punch and Ipswich libraries have got you covered. So so how can we register to get on the waiting list? So you can go into council’s website and then the Ipswich libraries tag.
02:08
Go on to there and then you’ll see along the Ipswich Libraries tag, you’ll see the Efficiency tool. You click on it, then there’s a link, register, you’re good to go. Fantastic. Alright, more Community Matters next week with Councillor Pye Augustine. We’ll chat to you then. See you then.

In this episode of the Breckie Club on West Bremer Radio, join Damo as he sits down with Ipswich Mayor Teresa Harding for an insightful conversation. They kick off by celebrating the success of the 151st Ipswich Show, where Mayor Harding shares her experiences and highlights the community spirit with over 400 volunteers making it all possible. VIP guests, including Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers and other prominent politicians, also made appearances, underscoring the event’s significance.
Mayor Harding discusses the Queensland Government’s move to seek community feedback on new regulations for compost facilities, aimed at minimizing odour impacts. This initiative follows persistent advocacy from the Council and community frustration over the noxious odours.
They also preview the upcoming Festival of Horsepower in June, packed with adrenaline-filled events like the Winter Nationals, Ipswich Cup, and the Queensland Kart Championships. Mayor Harding encourages the community to get involved and enjoy the festivities.
Finally, they touch on the Voluntary Home Buyback Program, marking the start of demolitions for flood-affected properties in Goodna, and celebrate a local grant awarded to the South Brisbane Chargers remote control car club.
Tune in for an engaging discussion on community efforts, upcoming events, and how the Council is working to improve life in Ipswich. Don’t miss out—get all the details in this episode!
00:00
It is a Tuesday morning here on the Breckie Club. And of course you’re listening on West streaming live on the app and also on Amazon Alexa and Google Smart Home speakers. Well, the show is done and dusted for 2024. The 151st show was a huge success. Lots of people coming through the gates and someone who had their own personal turnstile there was the Mayor, Theresa Harding. Good morning. How are you, Theresa? Morning, David. It was lovely to see you there.
00:28
each of the three days, it was a beautiful weekend. Yeah, it certainly was and as we said, so many people and of course, we had some VIPs coming through too, didn’t we? Yeah, we did. Apart from the show society president, Darren Zarno, who’s also our state MP, we also had on Sunday, the Federal Treasurer, Jim Chalmers came in, Minister Murray Watt, who’s the Minister for
00:49
Agricultural fisheries and emergency management came on the at the opening as well as Java Christopher the opposition leader was there Saturday as well So yeah, it’s good to see and I obviously we always trying to pitch to get funding in our area so it was a great opportunity for that to showcase if switch meet these rich people and and Hit them up for some money. Well, hopefully they liked us and they’ll go away and start working on those budgets What do you reckon? That’s right. Absolutely Well, congratulations to all of the team and of course
01:17
Being Volunteers Week to all of the volunteers who make it happen, they did a sterling job too, didn’t they? They did, and the show actually had over 400 volunteers, just incredible. Just, you know, everyone has just got a great spirit, and it’s not just shows, it’s a lot of volunteers, like at the Ipswich Hospital Foundation, they were looking after gate five and the information booths. You know, so, you know, just all around the place, so many community groups came together to be part of that huge,
01:46
Ipswich show experience and I think our community is very grateful for it and really appreciative. And you know what, I met so many wonderful people. I met the lady and her family who used to run the open air skating rink in Ipswich. And it used to be down near the IGA there at West Ipswich and it got flooded out. And when they couldn’t get it all back together, all of the animals that they had there at the skating rink, they had snakes and everything, were all sold off to the Ipswich Show Society.
02:16
So there you go, that’s back in the day. Lots of stories at the show. There certainly is. All right, lots of stories we need to talk about too. And of course, the Queensland Government is now seeking community feedback on proposed stronger regulations requiring compost facilities to minimise odour impacts. This is a godsend for people in those suburbs struggling. Yeah, really happy. The Queensland Government have opened up for community feedback and consultation.
02:44
They’re proposing regulations that will include, given the regulator, the power to require composting facilities that are close to residential places to enclose or invest all their operations if they’re receiving odorous waste. I really encourage our community to participate. I spoke with the Minister for the Environment, Leon Linnard, back in September last year when I met with her suggesting this and our council wrote to her asking for this to happen. So look, that consultation is now open until the 14th of June. So I do encourage you to go on there.
03:14
and do that. It’s a really important step to making sure that we can get rid of these odours in Ipswich. And of course I know that Council has been advocating for this for quite some time, quite strongly and the many, many months and years residents have had to endure the stench of those waste odours. You know, we just need to find that solution now, don’t we? We do. It’s beyond the joke and you know, this Council last four years has had a very strong stance.
03:43
We have spent over $8 million on legal fees to stop expanding landfill, but the noxious odors and the stink is, is dreadful. And also the state government won’t do a public health inquiry. So look, it’s really important that the community give their feedback. I certainly will be and certainly be, and I will certainly be fighting to make sure that any of the composting facilities that have noxious odors are in vessel and in vessel or encased in a concrete structure.
04:11
or a hard structure, not just with textiles or a Gore-Tex. It needs to be a proper structure. Yes, certainly does. All right, that is good news on that front. Now something else that we can look forward to, just after the show, we’ve now got the big Festival of Horsepower. Well, I know everyone’s sad that the show’s over, but we’ve got something to put a smile on everyone’s dial. June is our Festival of Horsepower month. So we’ve got a number of adrenaline packed events that are on. We have…
04:39
the Gulf Western Oil Winter Nets on the 6th to the 9th of June. We have the TAB Ipswich Cup on the 22nd of June. We have the Western Star Feature Race Day on the 23rd of June. And a new one for this. We have the Queensland Kart Championships on the 28th to the 30th of June, as well as the Two Days of Thunder on the 29th to the 30th of June. So what’s happening? There certainly is. And of course, you can cruise the night as well. There’s the V8 Drift Experience. So
05:08
really is a lot to see and do and of course you can get behind all of those events, jump onto ipsw for all the information and get yourself booked in to go and see some of these great events for the Festival of Horsepower and before we let you go, one more little thing that we need to have a little look at and this is of course in some more good news for us the Voluntary Home Buyback Program, we saw the start of demolition
05:37
Yeah, so the voluntary home buyback program for people who were severely flooded. We’ve had our very first block of units or townhouses, it’s a strata title. So this is where in Mill Street in Goodner where all 20 homeowners had to agree otherwise it wouldn’t proceed. And they did all agree to that. So they’ve all had their townhouses bought back and the demolitions started last week. So that gives hope to 20 families. So it was really great to see that happen.
06:05
And of course, this is all part of that $741 million Resilient Homes Fund. And it’s good to see that money going to some good use. It is. And look, I guess these 20 units are just some of the 163 properties that have been bought back in the program. About 50 hectares of land have been bought back. And we expect to buy back about 300 homes courtesy of the Australian and the Queensland government’s program.
06:31
Yeah and it’s great too because I mean obviously to say people the hardship are going through further floods those land spaces will be turned into green space for the community. Yes look they’re being rezoned so you can’t build a dwelling there and you can’t build structures there so look some of them to me are pretty obvious like at Mill Street I love to see Western Spirit grounds get there we’d love great to have a few more soccer fields there as well but we’ll work with the community we’re going to be doing community consultation in a couple of months.
06:58
on what people want there. There’s quite a bit of green space that we do need to maintain there. So let’s get the best use out of it. Exactly. All right, before we let you go to congratulations to South Brisbane Chargers, the remote control car club picking up a grant. Oh, that’s fantastic. Isn’t it? It is, isn’t it? I think it’s- I’ll just encourage you just to put a grant in application. We’d love to, you know, we want to help our community groups. And so there’s-
07:21
quite a few grants that community groups can apply for. Yes, and I know that they just need to contact Council through the Council Call Centre and they can get information on any of those grants that are available to you, can’t they? They can, and we also run classes for community groups, master classes on attracting, you know, and volunteers fundraising, the constitution. So they’re really great courses for community groups who want to really get stronger. Exactly.
07:49
Thank you so much for joining us and you know talking through a number of issues. Well done on the show. I know also you were there part of Rotary in there selling beautiful strawberry sundaes. They’re very popular. We sold a lot, especially on Saturday. We sold a lot on Saturday. And on Sunday, because you came to see us and then we went off and bought them all. I did. Thank you for supporting local. I must have popped in to see you guys on Sunday afternoon.
08:13
At Sparkey came through with a few morale boosting strawberry sundaes. I think they were very much needed at that point in the afternoon. Let me tell you. Thank you so much, Theresa. Have a wonderful week. Thanks, David. There we go. Mayor Theresa Harding joining us to take a little look at what’s been happening in Ipswich in the past week. We’ll take a break. Come back with more in a moment.

Tune in to the Brekkie Club for our latest “Living Life with Loz” segment! This Tuesday, Loz and David discuss the ups and downs of sticking to a 12-week fitness challenge, navigating diet pitfalls at the Ipswich Show, and practical tips for easy meal prepping. Get inspired and join the journey towards a healthier lifestyle!
00:00
It’s a Tuesday morning, you’re right here on the Brekkie Club online and also on the free Westbrimmer radio app. It’s time now to do a check in with our 12 week challenge and we live life with Loz. Good morning Loz. It’s big times isn’t it? Hurrah! Yeah I’m excited and coming off the back of Yip Switch show there may have been a couple of hard truths, there may have been, I don’t know, some fairy floss, some fudge, maybe even a Dagwood dog involved. Yeah more!
00:29
I’m gonna sit down for this one. Well, no, listen, so we started okay. So Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday was alright. We did all the meals that we were supposed to do and then that was fine. Thursday night, everything fell off the bandwagon because I went to go do bump in and bits and pieces there for the Ipswich show. Then we spent the entire weekend out at the Ipswich show.
00:58
and it fell apart from there. So you prepped all your food and then you went to the Ipsies show and so wasn’t the point of prepping the food so that you had food at Ipsies show? Well, so we didn’t actually prep all the food. So we didn’t get a chance to prep all the food. Okay, but you prepped most of it, which was great. Yeah, yeah, well that’s what I thought and so that’s my win. So how’d you go with Adrian?
01:24
Yeah, Damo, what did Adrian say about that? Um, Adrian and I have an understanding, and I’m very appreciative of the support that he gives me. He told me to do a couple of laps around the lounge room. He was impressed that I left the potato chips alone this week and didn’t touch one single bag of them. And he was also impressed that when I was out at the… Yeah, thank you. And also, he was impressed that out in the show, I didn’t have, like…
01:54
another person we will not mention who had two Dagwood dogs. I had a steak sandwich. We won’t mention about this person, but let’s mention this person. That was a very political answer. You should get into politics. That’s a great, very matter of fact. Stick with the radio. I hosted the forums for the Ipswich Council election. That was enough. That’s as close as I want to get. That’s as close to politics as you’re getting. So what can we learn from this?

Experienced person that we won’t know Well, we can definitely learn to prep our food which is going to be an issue this week because it’s already Monday No preps been done. So we’re already behind the eight ball, but I have said to Adrian and I’ve set myself a goal. We are going to do it at least once this week, you know We’re not going to fall off the bandwagon. We’re not gonna you know, we’re actually going to do it once properly You say you can do it a couple of times a week. So
02:52
If prepping an entire week’s worth of food, a good job for a couple of blokes, then break it up into manageable things. So we have some people that they are absolutely frightened of meal prep. The whole idea makes them run for the hills. I mean, and if they ran for the hills, that would be okay. I think it’s a step counter. But also- Good point. But also meal prepping, it’s about having the things in your house that you think could be useful. So-
03:20
A meal prep could be as simple as night before work, you grab a container, you’ve already bought the things that you need, you’ve kind of put that with that with that and then you’ve got yourself something ready. So example, making yourself a wrap for lunch. Wraps are okay, like if we’re to talk about the scale of one to ten, obviously it’s within sort of within the framework but not quite. Having a wrap.
03:43
is better than having a dog with dog, would you agree? Yes. I would, yes. In the moment, in the moment, okay, well what would be the harm minimization strategy I can apply? Grab yourself like some really nice low carb wraps, even gluten free ones, if that’s what you like, and having some things like tomatoes, spinach, carrots, if you needed to, onion, capsicum, and then making sure you got your protein. So go buy what I call the bachelor’s handbag. They’re the pre-cooked.
04:12
from Woolies because you only see bachelors walking out the door.
04:19
So get yourself a couple of bachelor handbags. And it’s good, eh? It’s good. You’ll never unknow that now. Grab yourself a couple of bachelor handbags or mullies or coles, whatever your preference is. And then you set, you don’t have to do any cooking. Your meal prep’s done. Yeah, sure, it might cost you a little bit more, but it’s convenient. And you put a bunch of chook on there, you know, 120 grams of chicken and you know, ready to rock and roll.
04:47
Can you see how like that doesn’t take a lot of prep? Absolutely not. You can even batch make those. So I’ve had some clients make wraps in a row because they might eat too wrapped. So someone like Damo might need to eat too wrapped, you know, to keep himself feeling not hungry. So you know, if you made a few extra ones, then at least you’ve got two there for lunch and you know you’ve got your lunch time and it’s really healthy. See how much easier that is than thinking, oh my gosh, I’m going to do a whole week of meal prep.
05:15
I don’t meal prep. I have the food in my fridge that I know I’m going to need. Like for breakfast, if you don’t mind me sharing because it’s really easy. I buy the pouches of egg whites and I have eggs. So what I’ll do is in a bowl and a bit of egg white, mix it up in a bowl like make it all frothy and then cook that in the pan. I chuck in spinach, I chuck in onion, I chuck in tomatoes, maybe capsicum if I’ve got some, sometimes mushrooms, really low carb. And I do like an omelette. For lunch, I’ll grab…
05:45
making sure like I’ve got like a good tin of tuna, I might chuck some dressing through it that I know is gonna be really nice. So like if I’ve got the tuna with olive oil, I might stick some herbs in it and I’ll mix that in through with some leftover dinner maybe. So tuna with vegetables, so I might even do myself up some green Chinese veggies like some bok choy, some bok choy and some mushy and some onion and just chuck that in there. So I’ve got like some tuna
06:14
because I don’t really know what you call that. And then for dinner, I might have myself some mince, some tomato sauce that goes through it, like a pasta sauce, and chuck in all my veggies into that. So, you know, it’s still having the same healthy food. I’m not having to go buy extra, extra veggies. You know what I mean? Like it’s the same veggie pretty much throughout the day. Some are cooked, some are raw. So.
06:40
And then in between I’ll have some protein snacks. So I might have a protein bar, might have like a protein shake. I might have a protein water, I might have a protein coffee. So I always have five hits of protein throughout the day. And see how simple that was? And there is a couple of prep involved in that. And I might make up a batch of that mint. And I might even have mints for breakfast. Fantastic, all right. Well, you’ve given me some ideas and some inspiration.
07:07
At least and if anyone else wants to come on this crazy journey with us, how can they do that laws? calm forward slash weight laws w e i g h t Hello, Zed the laws as in Lauren or farming socials at laws and to Nenco Say it and spell it the same way and I’ve got lots of information there You can sign up you can join in keeps the fun right value Excellent coaching and the outcome that you want.

Don’t miss out on the fun at the Ipswich show this weekend and stay tuned for more updates next week!
00:00
It is a Tuesday morning here on the Breckie show. And of course, you are listening to us on West streaming live on the app and also on Amazon Alexa and Google smart speakers. Time to have a little look and see what’s been happening in council. And we do that each and every Tuesday morning with Mayor Theresa Harding. Good morning. Good morning, Daman. Good morning to all the listeners. First of all, I’ve got to say, how was the burger that you had with Councillor Dave Cullen at the Marburg show?
00:29
When you go to the Marburg show or any of the lot of events in Marburg, you have to have a Marburger from the Marburg School PNC. It is a burger with the work. And so I think it’s about 2.30 in the afternoon, which is quite good because I think it has to be a late lunch if you’re having it. It’s a huge meal. It certainly is, but you both look like you were very happy consuming it. Yes. Yes, definitely. I had tomato sauce on mine.
00:58
salad, it was lovely. Sounds very nice, well of course you’re gonna have to back it up now and show just how good you can be at the 151st Ipi show which is on this weekend. Yeah we’re very lucky this 151st Ipswich show is on this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Council’s really proud to sponsor the Ipswich show and I was just then at recently too that I’m opening the show so it’s a real pleasure. It’s a fantastic show, it’s just getting bigger and bigger. I’ve had a sneak peek at
01:28
Bluey is going to be there but the pavilions and the exhibitions all around the circuit there is just huge, it’s going to be absolutely fantastic. And of course more than 36,000 people are expected to attend so once again bumper crowds. Huge crowds, look the Friday Night Road Day is really really popular so that’s always big and then Bluey will be there as well as the sideshow alley and it’s just really fantastic as well as
01:57
there’ll be a dedicated animal precinct and a heritage precinct will return as well which first came along last year at the 150th celebration. Yeah and what’s your favourite ride in Sideshow Alley? Oh. Now there was a probing question you weren’t expecting. No I didn’t go, Steve went on the beast last time and I didn’t, I was meant to go on it and I didn’t go on it so this time I’ll say the beast. I’m going to go on the beast.
02:23
there this time. Okay we’re gonna come and document it for the people of Ipswich don’t you worry. Now also after the Ippy show of course we’ve got the last of the show cycle but definitely not the least and that is of course the Rosewood show. Yeah we have three shows in Ipswich so Marbleg was last weekend and Ipswich this weekend and that last weekend of June is the Rosewood show they have a fantastic bull riding night on the Friday night and the show
02:49
you know on the Friday and Saturday, it’s a fantastic country show and I encourage people to attend them, they’re really great fun. Yeah they certainly are and of course look out for West Burma Radio, we’ll be broadcasting all three days of the Ipi show and we’ll be in the, which pavilion is it? The Grandstand pavilion, thank you, I was getting a prompt call. You’ve got the best posi. I know.
03:18
just near where the best chips are. I’ve got it all sussed out don’t you worry about that. Right. Alrighty now something a little bit different in the Ipswich libraries are of course certainly proving their popularity with the people aren’t they? Yeah we’ve put a lot of work into the library so we’re quite fortunate to get state government funding as well so we’ll be watching our annual survey as well just yesterday.
03:46
Our libraries include the Eastwood Central Library, the Children’s Library in Tumul Place, the Springfield Central Library, the Redbeck Plaza Library, the Redbeck Plains Library, the Rosewood Library, the Carolee Library Pod as well as our virtual branch. So if people let us know how they’re using the libraries, what they like, what they don’t like, the programming, it allows us to shape our future services and programs. Yeah and of course it’s not just like I guess the libraries that you and I grew up with. I mean these have…
04:13
pretty much everything, you know, not just the books but also DVDs and magazines and all that sort of thing as well. Yeah, and the way the books are displayed, you’ve got a great marketplace there, as well as the maker spaces which are really great for 3D stuff as well and I think we see them being really popular during school holidays. We know we get hundreds of thousands of families right across the grid that come to our libraries then as well.
04:38
Yeah and quite a lot of people actually took part in the last annual survey didn’t they? Yeah we had the 2000 people respond last time and the most common suggestion actually from 60% of the respondents was better access to library services outside standard hours so we’ve now have smart lockers that could be accessed 24-7 outside our district city libraries as well so you know we will change our programs and what we do based on the needs from the residents.
05:07
That is great. Well the course current survey runs from the well until the 17th of June. So it takes about 10 minutes to complete and I can I guess they find that online do they? Yes they do. It’s got Ipswich libraries you’ll find them. Alright fantastic. Now I know last week you got a chance to meet up with the new cohort of 37 members of the Ipswich Youth Advisory Council. Yeah it was great and it’s great for our
05:34
I guess all the councils get to meet them for the first time as well. It was great for them to engage with the elected representative. There’s 37 new members. It’s the 17th term of the East West Youth Advisory Council and it’s open to everyone aged between 13 to 18. So we took them around the chambers. We had a good discussion, a meet and greet. We have a really young population at Switch, so it’s really important that we make sure that we engage our youth to make sure that we have the services and the programs that they need. Yep.
06:02
And of course last year I believe they collaborated with council on several significant topics including the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Yeah so we did a fair bit of work on our roadmap on how we’ll plan for that. One of the members actually came into Brisbane with me when we had a big seminar with the Premier of Queensland. They also worked with us on our inclusion and connectedness plan as well as our draft if switch plan. Now you might think
06:32
a planning scheme, why would you do that? But it was really great to work out that how we plan where we are going to put future sporting fields or shopping centres and things like that, that happens under our planning scheme. So it was really great to get feedback from IAC on our planning scheme. Yeah and speaking of the Games, congratulations to you, it’s the first time we’ve spoken since the big announcement that you’re on the Olympic and Paralympic Games Organising Committee. Thank you, it’s a real honour, it happened on Friday and there are…
07:02
two mayors on the Bocog, on that Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Organising Committee, myself and the Lord Mayor of Brisbane. So it’s an honour to represent our region and making sure that we all get the benefits of a great game in the future. And way back in 2000 when you were just a mere spectator, did you ever think you’d actually be on the Games Organising Committee? No, no. I lived in Sydney for 14 years and I can remember
07:31
my youngest one, Ryan, was a little baby going to the Sydney Olympics and it was huge. You get such a amount of civic pride. I mean, we have years and years of construction and infrastructure upgrades and road upgrades and train lines being built, but there’s a great amount of pride when you get the games here and there are tons of economic and social opportunities as well. So, yeah, it’s really great to be able to be part of that.
07:58
Oh well we just have to put in the bid now for North Ipswich Reserve and Brighton Homes Arena. Yeah well the Brighton Homes Arena is already concerned in the host documents that’s been signed off by the International Olympic Committee, it’s been signed off by the Prime Minister, the Premier and the Lord Mayor. So in the documents there it’s actually called the Ipswich Stadium and they’ll have the modern pentathlon. And look over the coming years we’ll be looking at where other training venues and so on will be on for the athletes and competitors.
08:28
It’s going to be exciting times and good luck with all of that. I know it’s probably increased your workload tenfold but you’ll be enjoying every moment of it. It’s a great opportunity. It’s a way of getting city pride as well. It’s a rule on it that Ipswich should be a player in this as well. Alright, well we wish you all the best for that and we look forward to seeing you on the Beast at the Ipswich show this weekend.
08:55
and look out for the uh… you know whisper in my facebook page because we’re gonna video it. Oh and I’ve been told you shouldn’t eat something beforehand so I better be very careful. Yeah yeah just. It’s quite a full on ride. Take that advice very carefully alright. That’s right and I’ve also submitted one of my um crocheted blankets into the show as well so fingers crossed. Oh okay could be a big winner for you.
09:20
Oh, I don’t know, there’s a lot of good crochet in Ipswich, so I’ll see how I go. Alright, well all the best for it and thank you once again for catching up with us again this week. We’ll look forward to doing it again next week. Thanks, and I’ll see you on the weekend. There we go, Ipswich Mayor Theresa Harding joining us to take a little look at what’s been happening in Council. We’ll take a break, come back with more in a moment.

In this episode of The Breakky Club, join Spark and Damo as they dive into their 12-week challenge journey. They discuss their meal planning adventures, protein snacks, and the accountability they feel with their coach, Adrian. From berry pancakes to protein bars, they share their experiences and small victories. Tune in to learn more about their journey towards a healthier lifestyle and how you can embark on your own at LozLife.com. So grab your breakfast muffins and join the conversation!
Yeah. Great. Now we’ve had our second meeting with Adrian. Yes.
00:52
And that went really well. We officially kicked off yesterday. Officially, officially. What were you kicking? What kind of bull? Well, no, no. Your shoes, kick off your shoes. Yeah. No, no, we started the meal planning on Sunday and we got into starting to have the meals yesterday. So that was all good. And yeah, it’s going swimmingly at the moment. Yeah, right. Look at all these.
01:22
verbs that you’re using. I know. Kicking, swimmingly, soon you’ll be bringing bins in randomly, won’t you? But Spargy will just be taking them out for no reason. He can bring them back in again. He’ll say, where have you been? I’ll go, I went for a walk and he’ll go, what have you done with demo? Yeah, I know. This is unbelievable. Well, you, you guys have me at you, you planned your meals. I know. Well, and this is- Okay. Yeah. Tell me about that.
01:47
Tell me about meal planning. This has been just another level. And to the point where I actually got just a little bit stressed about it because we’ve never even had to ever plan food before. We’re like, we’ve never, never, ever done that. And actually then going through the recipes and making sure we’ve got everything. I just initially found it a little bit stressful, but so far everything’s here.
02:12
I did go and try and make one of your breakfast muffins, which are in the low carb meal ideas book that you give everyone. And they’re on page, which page? I think they’re page 13. Oh mate, you’re testing me, page eight. Page eight, yeah, sorry, Berry Pancakes are page 13. Yeah, yeah, I know, cause you go straight for them. They’re next on my hit list.
02:39
And, um, so I’m committed on making this batch and there’s no muffin tray. So here’s me thinking, right. Gourmet scrambled eggs. Here we go. That’s my fun story. And you didn’t know the muffin man and you should have. The muffin man! So glad we worked that in. Now, wasn’t there something else you needed to bring logs to task with, Damo? Yes. I, well, my second meeting with Adrian, I said,
03:06
Look, you know, I need to bring it laws to task because I did sit down and watch the video on Sunday. And I did. I watched the video the whole 43 minutes of it. And I sat there watching it. And then I went, she’s talking about Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Yeah, she’s talking about Krispy Kreme doughnuts to a large proportion man. I mean, enjoy that. Well, I would have if I had a Krispy Kreme doughnut McGob.
03:36
You can, we can pretend, we can pretend, but you know what, you’re an adult. Well, yes. Krispy Kremes better than you have to have Krispy Kremes. They’re the poor cousin of Krispy Kremes. But look, the thing is, and as I said to Sparky, I said, it’s not something that we need to get stressed over either. Um, because Adrian summed it up.
04:00
You know, while it’s well, a good to follow the plan. But if you can’t say the other word, he said, no, we can’t. But, you know, if you know, if you’re eating sensibly, you know, then you can still get through and and still accomplish, you know, lots of things on the plan. So if you if you miss something, then you just, you know, get something that’s similar and away you go. Yeah, and it’s all about using a framework.
04:27
Right. But so the most important part of the program for you guys is getting enough food in that’s mainly protein. So getting those protein snacks in. And we talked a little bit before off air about, um, protein shakes or protein bars. Yep. Yeah. We’ve invested in protein bars at the moment. That’s what we’re working through. Yeah. And, and, you know, whatever it is that you’re getting, it’s, it’s making sure that they’re
04:53
quite high in protein. I mean, we do look for certain things in bars and ultimately if you can get a bar that is less than 80 calories per serve and more than 14 grams of protein and less than three grams of carbs, it’s gonna be great. But even if it doesn’t meet all those specifications, it’s still gonna be better than a Krispy Kreme, don’t I? Thank you for bringing that up again, Liz. With the cream, but it’s about just doing the best that we can, right? Because…
05:21
Yeah, all we’ve got to do is make small improvements. And if we stack all these improvements, guess what will happen? Something will change. Yes. Yeah. So, look, I’m feeling good. I’m not feeling hungry at all. Good. So that is is a good thing. I’m enjoying the food that I’m eating because it’s all just stuff you have in the pantry and and in the fridge. And as I said to Sparky, you know, we’ll take it one day at a time. If we fall off the wagon, we get back on the wagon and we keep on going.
05:50
Yeah. And it’s, that’s all it takes, right? It’s just, you know, showing up for yourself every day and being really conscious. And I think for most people, when they start to embark on a journey of like a health kick or whatever, it does feel like a really big task. And it’s about just showing up for yourself every day, being aware of what it is that you’re doing and realizing that you have the capacity to make small changes. You can walk out and bring the bins in. You can have a protein bar. You can have a breakfast.
06:19
Pancakes, scrambled, muffin. Concoction. Yeah, it’s still nice though. It was nice. Yes. But, but you know, the one thing that I, I didn’t realise that this was happening, but I actually look forward to my zoom meetings with Adrian. And I think that gives me accountability as well, because I know I’m going to meet with him and he doesn’t, you know, uh, uh, you know, he’s straight to the point.
06:47
But he’s clear, but he’s also fair. And I think I look forward to that where I’m actually feeling accountable to him to make sure I do this program properly. Yeah, and that’s the great thing about it is it’s not just getting a meal plan off the internet and fending for yourself. Like it’s knowing that you’re going to show up to somebody, a real human, and it’s human contact. I mean, we can get AI, we can talk to AI, but AI isn’t human. And being able to know that you to show up for him.
07:15
rain, hail or shine. Yes. And you, you had to talk through, even if you feel like you, you might have fallen off the wagon that week and that’s okay, but talking to somebody that understands can help you navigate those challenges. And this is what I love about what we offer because it’s, you know, it’s a little bit different to, I guess, what a lot of people are trying to do. And this is why it works. Yes. Yeah. Yes. So we’re looking, we’re excited too, which is fantastic. So, uh, of course, if people want to follow our journey or.
07:44
maybe go on themselves, they can go onto loslife.com and you can find out all about the information about the program, information about LOS and the team and everything else there as well. Listen to podcasts and really get some of that personal coaching and training to help you succeed in your goals, no matter what they are, it could be weight loss, it could be more energy and it could be just living a healthier life.
08:10
Absolutely. And you can find me on social media at laws and to NANCO. You spell it as just say it, start typing in laws, A N T O N and you’ll find me. It’s a big yellow background. Got lots of free information. Some of it’s a bit funny. I’m funny sometimes. Yeah. Some of it’s serious, but yeah, it’s just a great place to start just to get interested in getting healthy, like, like, you know, demo and spark you have. And I’m really proud of you guys for starting. I’m looking forward to next week. Oh, the guy to think about three months time laws. You’ll I’ll be chasing you around the car park.
08:41
That’s right. Put the bin out. Put me in the bin. You’ll be chasing the bin. That loss is good. I appreciate it, Loz. We’ll chat to you next week. Thanks, Jens. There you go. Let me give you that website one more time. One more time. LozLife.com and you can also find Loz on social media platforms as well. But yeah, we’re feeling pretty good. We do. Yes. There you go.

Cr Jim Madden – Picture: Ipswich City CouncilCouncillor Jim Madden from Division 4 of Ipswich City Council discusses various capital works and flood recovery projects in his area. Minor works include bus stop upgrades and footpath construction, while major projects involve flood damage repairs to roads. He also highlights the council’s Active and Healthy Program aimed at promoting physical activity and combating risk factors for heart disease. Over 18,000 people have participated in the program, which offers a variety of activities such as yoga and walking. Jim encourages listeners to engage in active lifestyles and mentions the availability of programs on the council’s website.
00:00
It is a Friday and we always like to find out what’s been happening in your division with Ipswich City Council. We’re going to Division 4 today and Councillor Jim Madden, good morning Jim. Good morning Damien and good morning listeners. I’m delighted to be here. It is good to talk to you mate and good to see some capital works happening around Division 4. There’s plenty going on in capital works, it’s through City Council Damien but some of it might be regarded as minor works but others regard as major works.
00:29
One of the minor works we’re doing is upgrading bus stops in Hill Street in Tivoli, between Pies Street and Willard Street and Damien. It’s all to do with making our bus stops more friendly with people with a disability. It looks like we’re going to start on the first of May and should be finished within a couple of weeks after that. As well as that, Damien, we’re building a new footpath in Workshop Street, grassholt between Hudder Street and Vogel Road. That’ll be duplicating the existing footpath on the…
00:57
on the north side of the road with a new footpath on the south side of the road. Damien, that’s Sutton Park area when the Sockers are on an extremely busy part of town. And finally, Damien, and I’m sure the people of Faguna are clapping their hands about this, we’ve just finished reconstructing a culvert on Adelong Avenue and now we can commence on resurfacing the entire length of Adelong Avenue at Faguna, which I know the people of Faguna have been waiting for for a very long time. Damien?
01:24
Yeah and of course those works have been in the design phase and well now we’re into the construction which is good. Yeah the works that we did with regard to the culvert and the design work we’re all in the 2023-24 budget and the construction work will be funded in the 2024-25 budget that’s going to be delivered in June of this year Damien. All right now project information and updates for other capital work projects in Division 4.
01:49
are available on Council’s Civic Maps tool on the website. So you can check it out there and see what’s happening with that. Now, something else that’s very important to the City of Ipswich is the flood recovery coordination works and Council’s busy in that area, too. Extremely busy, Damien. And just so you know, and listeners know, we’re talking about the flood events in early 2022 and during those events, about 365 kilometres of sealed roads in Ipswich were ward damaged.
02:19
So we’ve engaged a qualified contractor to undertake the necessary repairs and the works are being done in Division 4 at Brassill, North Ipswich and the Western Corridor. But I know the people of Rosewood will be very pleased to hear this, Damien, where shortly we’ll commence work on reconstruction work on Railway Street in Rosewood. And weather permitting, this work should be finished by about the middle of June.
02:44
And also Kingsley Avenue at Walloon, we’re undertaking flood recovery work there and unfortunately Damien as with these things there’ll be some disruption with stop-go people and you know moving machinery around but it’s all there for a good work and that is repairing the roads after the 2022 floods in Division 4, Damien. Yep, and of course some weekend or night works may be required on those projects, but largely it’ll be done during the daytime between 7 a.m. And 5 p.m. And of course
03:14
Council does appreciate the patience and cooperation of the community while they undertake those essential works. Now, of course, this week Jim is looking after your heart in Heart Week. We have been encouraged to get active. We are Damien. We’ve all been encouraged to get active and Council is playing an incredibly important role in Heart Week through its active and healthy program. It looks like that six out of ten people are having at least one risk factor Damien.
03:43
smoking, harmful use of alcohol and physical inactivity or obesity and the whole point of the Active and Healthy Program is to get us all over those problems and we want to see a healthier society in Ipswich and this is an unbelievably successful program Damien. Over 18,554 people have been involved in the program so far.
04:06
and that includes a range of about 1,100 activities, events and workshops. And Damien, those sort of events that we’re talking about might be something like yoga, aqua fitness, mums and bums on Zumba, and there’s something there for everyone, Damien. But walking is the recommended, most popular way for people to exercise. In Nipchwich Damien, we’re blessed with so many good places to walk. Even in the centre of town, Damien.
04:36
around the CBD, around Crip Park at North Ipswich. But further out, we’ve got wonderful reserves with the Goulman Nature Reserve and also Limestone Park. Ipswich really has wonderful facilities for people to get out and get active and we’ll all benefit from them doing so through the active and healthy activities. Exactly, and you can log on to Council’s website and sign up to an active and healthy activity this week.
05:05
It’s quick, easy, and your heart’s gonna thank you. And Jim, my heart is always trying to thank me, but it never does. I know it does. Same with me, Damien. My heart doesn’t think that. Yeah. Jim, always good to chat, mate, and we’ll look forward to doing it again real soon. I hope so, Damien. I thank you, and I thank the listeners. Thank you. It’s a pleasure. There we go, Councillor Jim Madden joining us there from Division Four.

In this podcast, the Miles Government’s initiatives take center stage: a $1,000 energy rebate aims to alleviate household bill pressures, doubling last year’s relief. Transport adjustments, including adding a stop at the Ripley Satellite Hospital on Route 531, promise improved access to healthcare. Queensland public sector workers will benefit from ten days of reproductive health leave, addressing needs such as IVF and reproductive cancer screening. Ipswich’s Labour Day witnessed strong solidarity among Union Members and leaders in support of workers. Meanwhile, increased funding of $36 million for domestic, family, and sexual violence services underscores ongoing efforts to combat the crisis, despite acknowledging more work is needed. Finally, Ipswich’s disability support service, Focal, celebrated its 50th anniversary, highlighting its invaluable role in the community’s support network.
$1,000 energy rebate
The Miles Government has announced a new $1,000 rebate on your energy bill from the 1st of July! We know lots of people are feeling the pressure from rising household bills and Jennifer has really fought to make sure we are delivering cost of living relief. This is an expansion on last years $550 rebate. This year we have effectively doubled the rebate, meaning that most households won’t pay a cent on their quarterly bill after 1 July. We can only do this because we own our energy assets and make big mining companies pay coal royalties for profiting off Queensland resources.
Ripley Satellite Hospital Bus Stop
From 24 June 2024, the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) Translink Division will implement minor timetable adjustments for 17 urban bus routes and one alignment change for route 531. For most routes, the changes include: revised runtimes that better reflect actual travel conditions, connection prioritisation where possible with services to Brisbane and Ipswich (noting some alterations), minor changes to span of hours, introduction of measurement points, and additional or changed timing points.
The most important part about these changes is the addition of the Ripley Satellite Hospital on Route 531. This will make the Hospital open to public transport and allow greater access to the facility.
10 Days reproductive leave
The Miles Government is introducing a nation leading ten days of reproductive health leave for nurses, teachers, and all QLD public sector workers. It’ll mean our hardworking frontline will have access to dedicated leave for things like IVF, endo, vasectomies, or reproductive cancer screening.
Labour Day in Ipswich
Ipswich Labour day is one of my favourite events in the year. This year we had a great show of Union Members and leaders marching to show their support for workers. It’s such a privilege to march alongside the working people of Ipswich and engage with the roots of the great Labour Movement.
Domestic and Family Violence Month – increased funding
The Government will boost funding to the domestic, family and sexual violence sector by $36 million next financial year. This 20 per cent increase to funding, will help the sector meet an increase in demand. The ongoing funding will help fund:, Frontline domestic, family and sexual violence services, Programs to take action to address behaviours of persons using violence; and New programs that fill gaps in service delivery across the state.
While a lot has been done by our Government to help eradicate the scourge of Domestic and Family Violence, far too many women are still suffering and dying at the hands of men. We have much more to do.
Ipswich Focal 50th Birthday
One of Ipswich’s best disability support services Focal celebrated it’s 50th anniversary in the Ipswich community recently. It was a wonderful celebration and I was proud to join them.
Focal does an amazing job at supporting and mentoring people with disabilities. Thank you for all the work you do.

On the Limelight Cinemas podcast, Lex and Damo discuss the highly anticipated return of “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” to the big screen, promising an epic clash between apes and humans. With stunning CGI and a captivating storyline, this film is set to wow audiences. They also highlight the upcoming Mother’s Day weekend, offering special screenings and events for families to enjoy together, including high tea and the family-friendly film “IF” featuring an all-star cast of voice actors. Additionally, they tease the release of “Furiosa,” the latest installment in the Mad Max saga, and encourage viewers to book their tickets early for a chance to win a $1,000 cash card. Tune in for more movie updates and entertainment news on the Limelight Cinemas podcast!
Let’s talk movies. Let’s do it. Sure We’ve got a classic that’s coming back to the big screen and that is of course the planet of the apes now This one is called kingdom of the planet of the apes one of my favorite actors William H Macy in this one. Yeah now this I feel like we’ve got a lot of monkey movies happening at the moment We’ve just had Godzilla X Kong and now we’re walking into kingdom of the planet of the apes now, of course We’ve really got a split from that, haven’t we?
01:12
Yes, directed by Wes Bull, we are stepping into a world where apes and humans will clash in an epic battle for supremacy, where their lilties are going to be tested and their destinies are forged.
01:32
It’s set several generations into the future following Caesar’s reign in which we see apes as the dominant species. Yes. Living harmoniously and instead the humans have been reduced to living in the shadows. So I feel like this is like going in the opposite direction of what humanity has actually done. It’s interesting because when you think of the original, which of course started Charlton Heston. Yes. In the Planet of the Apes and how far this story has come.
02:01
And how modern technology has just improved the experience so much. Oh, honestly, I was looking at some, um, stills from the film today and they just look incredible at these monkeys and the CGI that we now have versus what these films started with is just incredible. Absolutely incredible. I mean, you, you compare the stills for this in comparison to even Godzilla X Kong.
02:25
And the amount of attention to detail in the CGI that has been done for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is just incredible. I’m so excited to see this. If you’re a fan of the series, even if you’re not, get along and see it. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which will hit the big screens tomorrow. Now something else that we’ve got to give people a bit of a heads up with is of course that this weekend is Mother’s Day. This weekend is Mother’s Day, celebrating all the mums in your life, whether it’s mums, stepmums, aunties.
02:55
Grandmas, step-in mums, you know, all of those amazing, incredible women in our lives. We have a few things happening this Mother’s Day to celebrate those lovely ladies in our lives. So we do have our Les Mis, Les Misrabes, remastered. That’ll be a classic for them. Absolutely. Hugh Jackman and Hathaway.
03:15
They are starring in, uh, Les Mis remastered and we’re doing a special high tea in the lounge for this. So treat mum to something a little bit fancy this mother’s day. And what else have we got? We’ve also got a family fun day as well. Haven’t we? Yes. So one of the most un-Google-able movie names that we could have ever got, um, the film is called IF standing for imaginary friends. Now this cast, like just kicking off with the cast alone.
03:42
This is directed by John Krasinski, who we’re about to see himself and Emily Blunt in A Quiet Place Day 1 later in June, July. But we’ve also got in this Ryan Reynolds, Matt Damon, Steve Carell, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sam Rockwell, Maya Rudolph, Vince Vaughan, Awkwafina. Like the cast is huge and they’re voicing- George Clooney? Yeah, they’re voicing these imaginary friends. Now-
04:06
It looks fantastic. It’s some original life here that we haven’t really seen a lot of. I mean, this school holiday period, we’re going to see Garfield and Inside Out and Despicable Me, but this really looks quite exciting. Now I feel like my most entertainment from this film comes from the fact that Ryan Reynolds is releasing IF, which is, you know, really fun, family friendly film, followed by later in July, Deadpool v Wolverine, which is definitely probably not a family film. No.
04:30
We would go that far. Yeah, yeah. So this looks fantastic for the whole family. I think for the little ones to the young to the young at heart are really going to enjoy this. We’ve got a family fun day kicking off on Mother’s Day first thing at 10am. Plus we’re also continuing through the day with advanced screening. So if you’re doing breakfast with your mum and you won’t make the 10am family fun day.
04:50
then you’ve got sessions right across the day for this one. All right, and because sometimes mum likes breakfast in bed. Absolutely. So you can come to a later screening and she can still have all of that. For sure, hint, hint, make sure you make mum breakfast in bed this weekend kids. And being a mum yourself, what are you expecting? Um, I actually. Ha ha ha ha.
05:08
I’ve chosen my own destiny this weekend. And I’m actually taking my mum out for Mother’s Day on the Saturday night actually. We’re gonna have a little fiery night out at Sireme wines. Oh nice. Which I’m very excited for because wine charcuterie boards and.
05:29
a fire pit I’m incredibly excited for. Yes. Um, but also have had a look at, um, the soul not collective out at Marburg, hosting their mother’s day picnics. Um, there’s a lot happening, um, for mother’s day this weekend. So I may do that on Saturday night and then take, you know, do the motherly thing and then go and take my child to see if on mother’s day, there you go. And you maybe have a spot of high T. Yeah, exactly. I might sneak some of that into the cinema with me while I go watch if.
05:57
Now are you looking forward to seeing Furiosa? I am so excited. We, oh I don’t know if I mentioned it, we’ve just installed two new laser projectors into our XD cinemas and one of the trailers that was like my key highlight to check on the big screen is Furiosa because the image is so crisp with these new lasers and because the Furiosa trailer is explosions and really bright and insanely graphic images.
06:27
They are just incredible on our new lasers. So our owner Ross has already seen Furiosa at an advanced screening and has raved about it already. I cannot wait to see it. Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth have obviously, as well as George Miller, have just done the rounds in Australia. We just saw them at the Sydney premiere and Anya Taylor-Joy’s arrow headpiece was incredible. Also felt for Chris Hemsworth trying to stand near her when all of these arrows were.
06:57
Coming towards him from her outfit, but she looks amazing. So I was so tempted to get out the ring toss game Honestly, I reckon you would have won because there was a lot of arrows you could have Absolutely not but the shots that have come out of the premiere so far just look amazing The premiere was held when it was a little bit overcast also in Sydney So they got some great shots of it looking a little bit eerie and they did have people obviously
07:27
for the premiere as well. So the whole display just looked absolutely amazing. I’m really excited for this. And because if people book their tickets now to go and see Furiosa, a Mad Max saga, they could also win themself a $1,000 cash card. A thousand bucks. Just go watch Furiosa. Yeah, book online, book in store, book ahead of time, book online specifically.
07:53
and you will go into the draw. It’s automatic, you’ll go into the draw. So how do you book? Book online at lond Look at us going. Oh, look at us in stereo area. Oh, you’re very amazing. So for all of that information, maybe you’d like to take Mum out for the weekend, Mother’s Day, Hi Tea and If. You’ve also of course got Mad Max coming to the big screen and don’t forget also we can go along and see the fantastic movie that is.
08:23
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which is on the big screen tomorrow. Session details and your tickets on lime That’s lime Lex, great to see you. Great to see you guys. Thanks for having me.

For more, listen to the breakky club.
00:00
It is a Tuesday morning and we always like to check in with Mayor Theresa Harding to find out what has been happening in council. Good morning Theresa. Good morning, Good morning to listeners. It is good to talk to you. What a huge success. Trains, planes and autos was. Massive weekend. It’s great to see we had beautiful weather and it’s great to see people come out in their thousands for the whole three days. I was waiting to see you up there doing aerobatics in one of those tiger moss. No, I probably need an air stick bag. It was just amazing.
00:29
What the the area display was just incredible wasn’t it was just you hold your breath Yeah, you certainly do and you know It was great to see so many different organizations coming together to really celebrate those three forms of transport It is missile community groups such as you know, the grandchester model live steam and qpsr As well as the car clubs the muscle and classic cars of if switches and just different community groups coming together that ref base ambly
00:57
gave a lot of equipment and gave us two flyovers of two C-17s. So it’s really great when everyone works together. And we had so many business from outside of Ipswich as well. So I think the people of Ipswich really enjoyed the weekend as well as many people in South East Queensland. And I know the LAPS night was a huge success with people hanging off the rafters at the top of town. Yeah, it was great. It’s great to see the crowds there. We had the…
01:20
Park and Pose in the Nicolle Street precinct and Steve had his 1980 VC Procoma in there and then there was the there was the lapse events which went on to about 9.30 I think. Yes I know I heard them but anyway it was a great weekend and you know congratulations to everyone behind the scenes also congratulations to because obviously after colleges got colleges crossing got whacked in that last flood
01:45
event. It’s great to see that works are progressing there. Yeah, look, we do love Colleges Crossing Rec Reserve in Chouin and it was obviously flooded twice in 2022 and the bill for that’s about 14 million dollars. So we actually decided to go to the community to say, what would you like to be built there because we know it’s going to continue to flood there. And 80% of the residents said they wish to make it more flood resilient and so that’s what we’re doing. So our contractor, Ipaka, are now completely
02:15
the restoration and they’re now building what’s going to be there. And last week, myself and Councillor Cullinan and Councillor Madden actually went on site to have a bit of an inspection and look at what they’re doing. So it’s looking really great and I can’t wait till it’s finished. Yeah, and tell you what, I spent quite a few mornings down there with the old cafe that used to be down there, the portable cafe, and it’s a great spot just to sit, relax and chill out.
02:40
It is going to have a really lovely access to the waterway there. And obviously where the cafe was is now going to have a special area there for multiple food trucks to be, you know, that’s a little bit more, I guess, flood resilient than having something that’s actually piped in and, and, you know, as a fixture there and that, that, like that cafe was. So once it was completed, we’ll install the services, including power, solar lighting and irrigation. And we are expecting that to open sort of later this year, early next year. All right. Fantastic. Now, of course,
03:08
As we know, this month is Domestic Violence Month, and there’s been a number of important events highlighting this, hasn’t there? Yeah, certainly in recent weeks, there’s been a heightened national interest in family and domestic violence, and we’ve seen mass rallies across the country calling for more action and tougher penalties, and it’s an essential national conversation that we do have to have, and it’s also a local conversation. So here in Ipswich, last week we held the second Switch Speaks Out on Domestic and Family Violence Summit.
03:37
And we also had a march and a candlelit vigil with the Domestic Violence Action Center. And we’re very fortunate, we have a wonderful CEO there, Amy Carrington, who is a real leader in our community. And it’s just really important that we do have these conversations, that we do reach out and support people. And violence against women isn’t just physical violence. It could also be emotional, psychological, financial, sexual or social coercive control. So it’s really clear that we will not.
04:04
up with any type of violence in Ipswich. So I think that people have been involved in that and there’s so many people who do support some, you know, people who are the victims of family domestic violence in Ipswich. Yes and of course it’s not just for women, it’s also for men to be a part of this drive as well so that we can also instil a much better society for our younger people growing up. Yeah look men and women are victims of domestic and family violence and we do need
04:30
part of the solution is for men and women to work together for a much needed change in the future. Yes, now of course just around the corner not too far away, the Yip Switch show, I know you’re getting excited. I love the Yip Switch show and we’re looking forward to it and you can tell this is happening because the temperatures are a bit cooler and you always know the shows around the corner when the temperature gets a bit cooler. We know that from the 2021 Yip Switch show that it brought an economic return of nearly a million dollars to our city so and the shows are getting
04:59
bigger and bigger each year. So really looking forward to the three day vets from the 17th to the 19th of May. And what’s your first go to as soon as you go through the gates? Well I like my craft so I always check out the sewing, the quilting, the crocheting, the embroidery and also look at the cooking section. I always go there first of all I love looking at the animals and the arts as well so it’s always a fun time and I am putting in a crocheted rug.
05:26
Oh, as well. So first prize is $5. So you never know what might happen. Well, the the Merrill crocheted rug. I put in some a crochet piece of work at the Rosewood show last year. And one piece came first and one piece didn’t. So I hopefully I’ll just each year I just try to improve and do something a little bit better, a bit more complicated. Well, I look forward to that. No doubt you probably spend a month wages just.
05:55
going through there and buying up all of these wonderful items. Oh, look, it’s great. I think the other thing with the show is it’s great to connect with other people. I think people just like to wander and see people they may not have seen for a couple of years and catch up and say hello. And yeah, it’s a really nice gathering for the community. Yes. All right. Well, the Ipswich show and of course, West Bremer Radio will be broadcasting out there all three days from the Pavilion right next to the main ring. So no doubt you’ll pop down at some stage and have a chat with us.
06:22
Yeah, you’ve got a great posse that you have there every show. Great location overlooking all the everything that goes on. That’s right. And we get to see everything that goes on in the ring. So we’re we’re and we’ve also got a cafe right there in the same building. So I do. They do great tips there. So I’ll tell you what, I put on at least five kilos when I’m at the show. Now, before we let you go, there’s been a lot of chatter on social media about the North Ipswich Reserve development.
06:52
Where does that stand at the moment? Do you remember that Council secured $20 million as part of the 2022 federal election from Shane Newman? Council had to go through quite a few hoops and then we received $10 million from the state government, which means Council also put in $10 million. So it was actually during the election period during February when the federal government gave Council the funding agreement to sign off on, which we did do, and now we’re working with the state on signing off on.
07:21
on that funding agreement. Originally, we did want to build a $220 million stadium. That money’s just not coming from any level of government. So we have secured $40 million. So we will have a staged approach. So we won’t be building the stadium all at once. So the designs are being redone and there’ll be a staged approach and that new architecture design will be appointed next month in June. All right, and you hope to have shovels in the ground what next year?
07:49
look we hope we have to work around the footy season but it’d be great to have the first stage completed for the 2026 season. Oh fantastic well at least people have got an idea it’s still progressing and you know hopefully stage one by around about mid 2026. Yeah look stage one will be delivering the stadium in stages so that first will be knocking down the current grandstands and the current change rooms so we’ll build a new grandstand with the change rooms, the gym, the multipurpose facilities.
08:16
a full media suite and a broadcast standard lighting and also a broadcast platform with a big screen so we can attract those NRL games but just the lighting itself is going to be seven million dollars to put in that that broadcast standard lighting so it’ll be it’ll be great to have those new facilities for the change rooms and seating for people as well. I was going to offer to come and hold up a PortaFlood light but I don’t think that’ll do it. Listen always good to chat to you and we’ll look forward to doing it again next week.
08:45
Thanks a lot, Jaymo and thanks, listeners. There we go, Mayor Theresa Harding joining us.

00:00
Good morning, it’s a Tuesday and you are here on the Brekkie Club. It’s back to work Tuesday in fact, so you’re all going to get out of bed and go to work. Which by the way, I’m actually feeling okay today. Why? Because you’re still doing it in bed. There we go. Doing what in bed? Doing the show. What are you doing? Okay, no, no, no, we are doing it from our studio, but I’m feeling because we’re…
00:22
doing Laws’s 12 week challenge, right? Or we’ve only really just started. Because now we’ve met with Adrian, and we had a good chat with him. Now we’re gonna just relay some of that to Laws. Morning, Laws. Good morning, happy fake Monday. It feels a bit like that, doesn’t it? We’re all gonna get back to work. I love a good long weekend though, hey, I think that’s one of the last ones we’ve got. Oh, do we have another one? Ipswich shows the next kind of…
00:48
long weekend, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, but the next actual like national long weekend isn’t until the end of October or around that region. Yeah, anyway, fun times. Anyway, time to delve into our 12 week challenge, which we’ve got on to by you and I’ve started. Damo is yet to watch his video. Right.
01:14
Tell me the biggest things that you’ve learnt this week, gentlemen. So obviously you’re at different parts of the journey. Yes. Because Damo hasn’t watched his video. But tell me about like how you felt after chatting with Adrian. What was your biggest take home from that conversation? Oh, look, I just thought he was so positive and, uh, uh, really sort of engaging so that you felt like you really wanted to make this work, not just for, for yourself, but for him as well. Um, you know, and, uh,
01:42
We had a very frank discussion on the things we should be looking at. Uh, but basically it was an introduction to find out the sort of things we do in our lifestyle, the sort of foods we eat, that sort of thing. So that also what blew my mind is also what we want to accomplish. Yes. Yeah. And so tell me about that gentleman. What, what do you want to accomplish over the next 12 weeks and even beyond that? Well, I mean, I’d like to get to a specific weight goal.
02:09
And we talked to Adrian about that and doing the numbers for me. Uh, where Sparky just wants to, you know, fit into some clothes. Yeah. I just want to feel good. Right. So, I mean, but how great is it that you can both have individual goals while you’re on this journey together? Yes. Yeah, exactly. And that’s the thing. And I think that that’s the key to it. You know, where you feel as though it’s tailored to you, even though we’re doing it together, um, you know, for the purposes of the radio show.
02:39
It still feels as though, you know, Adrian is providing that individual advice to each of us. And he is, and this is what I love about the program guys, is that even if you do it together and become each other’s support and accountability buddies, everybody’s on this journey differently. And you know, what’s the beginning for somebody might be more like the middle of their journey for someone else. And what I love about being able to do this with you is that you’re getting to see, well, okay, well, these things could be possible. And if we chunk it down and follow the framework,
03:08
It’s less about being perfect and more about just being consistent. Yes. Yeah. And probably Adrian said something to that effect to you. And look, it’s also about understanding, um, how it all works. If you know what I mean, laws, you know, where, where you put something in your pie hole, um, it’s going to end up as, you know, either energy for the body and expelled out, or it’s going to end up as, you know, uh, you know, lining on your stomach.
03:36
Yeah. Stored energy for the rainy day that you’ll never have. That’s it. Cause you’d need a lot of rainy days. Oh, you know, yeah, but that’s okay. But it’s, it’s understanding that and breaking that process down for you in a really clear and simple way so that you can see, okay, well, this isn’t as, as challenging as maybe I thought it was. And I think a lot of people, especially when it comes to like fat loss, losing weight and all of those sorts of frameworks that people put themselves in, it can seem really daunting at the beginning because you go, oh my gosh, that’s a lot of. That’s a big number, but we get to chunk it down.
04:07
One week at a time, one day at a time, one meal at a time. And if you stack that all together, and this is about even adding in anything like exercise, we haven’t even used the E word. Yeah. And don’t mess all that up. It’s very possible to have some, some big outcomes. And, you know, I’m really proud of you guys for having that chat and being really open and honest, because over the next year, 11, 11 to 12 weeks, we’re going to be going through what you guys have done in the week. So, you know, you’ve only just started.
04:35
So I’m not, I’m not going to harass you too much. And I want to scare you off today. No, no. And look, that’s the thing. And I neither did, you know, like, cause exercise is a big thing for me. Uh, where, uh, you know, I’m quite concerned about doing a lot of exercise and basically because I look like Clive Palmer. Um, but as Adrian said, um, you know, you don’t need to do that initial exercise. It’s all about what you put into your mouth and how you manage that. And, uh, I think that was a.
05:05
a bit of a light bulb moment for me that I could do that without thinking I was going to have to end up at a gym doing, you know, weights. Yeah and it’s a bit of a misconception because in a previous chat we’ve actually talked about how exercise can only really account for about 8 to 10 percent of your total daily energy expenditure and food is a really large part of your daily energy expenditure. So if you can sort that, the exercise is just the, well, the very healthy icing on the very healthy cake isn’t it? Yes, yeah.
05:34
Look, I think it’s a great program and something that pretty much, you know, if I can do it, anybody can do it. That’s right. Absolutely. And what I have been trying to have a chat about is also the booklets you get with it as well. So the daily planners and also you guys give us some books with some low carb meal ideals as well. And you know what, I’ve got about 15 more of those books. They’re all digital versions, not printed out ones. But.
06:04
There’s 80 plus recipes in the printed book that I gave you there. And so if you get bored, there’s plenty more recipes and it’s great. Cause it’s just normal food, right guys? Yeah. And it’s delicious. And you can, you can feed your whole family. You can have friends over and just eat healthy, delicious and nutritious food and not feel like you’re getting FOMO. Exactly. Well, we’re into week one of the 12 week challenge. I have to say, I’m a little bit disappointed. I didn’t find yogurt on my menu yet.
06:32
phase one. Yogurt is very high in carbohydrates. Yeah. So there you go. Fun times. Yeah. But it comes, it’s there, it’s waiting, just not yet. I know, it’s on Dan’s menu. It’s about just letting your body have a chance to, you know, do what it needs to do and increase your metabolism before we start increasing those things. And you may find that some of the things you used to love before, actually, you don’t love as much this time and you might love other things instead. It’s crazy. And look, that’s the thing, we get set in a rut, don’t we, Loz?
06:58
Yeah. And we get used to eating certain foods, especially hyper palatable foods. And our brains then find it really hard to rewire to things that are a bit more nutritionally dense. So when we give our body a chance to reset itself, cause that’s what we’re doing. We’re doing a bit of a reset for you. Then you’ll find that your metabolism works better. And sometimes your palate changes too in a good way. I’m excited. Me too. And look, we’ve only just got started. You know, we met with Adrian on Friday.
07:27
We’ve got another meeting with Adrian this coming Friday. So that will be the end of week one. Yes. So we’ll be chatting again next Tuesday. And listen, I’ve got to also say it’s very, very quick. Dame. I know this segment is going long, but we’ve got to get it out there. I’ve got to also say that I did my meeting with Adrian while I was sitting in the car in the car park of work on a zoom meeting.
07:53
And it’s that easy. You don’t need to go and rock up to see him in person. You can do it over Zoom if you want to. And that makes it so easy for you to be able to meet those goals, meet the expectations and also have support there with Adrian. And that’s why I say hashtag no excuses. Because there’s no excuses. We make it as easy as it can be to make it accessible for people to be able to achieve their goals. Yep, exactly.
08:21
I’ll be watching my video today. And I’ll be gonna hold you to that. I’ll be cracking up my books and you watch it’ll be on like Donkey Kong. I’m going to lose so much more weight than him. Uh, I’ll be able to go and call him a pork. Well, no, it’s all good. And I’ll call him a porker. See, I’m all about vitality, mate. I, I can deal with being a porker for a while. Uh, appreciate it. Lies. Uh, if anyone else wants to go on this crazy journey, we are, how did they do it?
08:50
they can come and find me at lozlife.com forward slash weight laws W E I G H T L O Z. We’ll just go to Lozlife, Loz Antonenko anywhere on social media. Find me, hit me up, slide into my DMS and I’ll send you the info. Easy done. I love it when you talk technical. There you go. Appreciate it, Loz. We’ll catch up with you again next week.

In this podcast Loz discusses the challenges of navigating grocery shopping and making healthy food choices amidst marketing tactics and confusing labels. Loz highlights the concept of “greenwashing” and the health halo effect, where products are made to appear healthier than they are. They advise listeners to ignore colorful packaging and instead focus on the nutritional values table and ingredients list. Emphasis is placed on avoiding high sugar content and overly processed foods. Loz encourages critical thinking when interpreting health claims and suggests opting for products with fewer ingredients and minimal processing.
“Eat Right Without the Fight,” the challenges of making healthy food choices amidst marketing tactics and confusing labels were discussed. Hosted by Loz Antonenko, the episode sheds light on the concept of “greenwashing” and offers practical strategies for informed grocery shopping.
The podcast delves into the dilemma faced by consumers when attempting to decipher food labels and make healthy choices. Referred to as “Coles-worth” by the host, a playful blend of Coles and Woolworths, two major Australian supermarket chains, the experience of navigating aisles filled with products vying for attention is described as an adventure.
One of the primary challenges highlighted is the prevalence of deceptive marketing tactics, often termed as “greenwashing” or the health halo effect. Marketing companies invest substantial resources in making products appear healthier than they truly are, leading consumers astray.
To counteract this, the host advises listeners to ignore flashy packaging and instead turn the product over to examine the nutritional values table and ingredients list. Emphasis is placed on scrutinizing the amount of sugar, protein, and carbohydrates per 100 grams, as well as prioritizing products with fewer and more natural ingredients.
An interesting observation made during the podcast is the misconception surrounding fat content in foods. Despite the prevalent belief that low-fat options are healthier, they often contain high levels of sugar. Thus, the host advocates for a more nuanced approach to food choices, focusing on overall nutritional content rather than fixating solely on fat content.
Listeners are encouraged to exercise critical thinking when interpreting health claims and to prioritize minimally processed foods. The podcast concludes with a reminder to choose products where sugar does not feature prominently in the first five ingredients, signaling a healthier option.
In an age inundated with marketing gimmicks and misleading labels, the podcast offers a beacon of clarity for consumers seeking to make informed choices in their grocery shopping endeavors. By equipping listeners with practical strategies and insights, it empowers them to navigate the aisles with confidence and prioritize their health and well-being.

In this episode with Loz, the focus is on the pitfalls of following labeled diets and the importance of individualized nutrition. Loz emphasizes that diets with rigid labels can be counterproductive, often failing to address individual differences in metabolism, lifestyle factors, and nutritional needs. Crash diets can lead to frustration and imbalanced health, ultimately causing individuals to abandon their goals. Loz advocates for a flexible approach, encouraging gradual improvements and mindful eating habits. By understanding where individuals currently stand and implementing small, sustainable changes, long-term success can be achieved. Additionally, Loz highlights the importance of considering the cultural and social aspects of food, reminding listeners that nutrition is not just about nutrients but also about enjoyment and connection.
In a recent podcast episode titled “A Diet with the Label Turns Out to Just be a Fable,” Loz delves into the drawbacks of adhering to labeled diets and underscores the importance of personalised nutrition strategies.
Loz begins by addressing the common phenomenon of individuals feeling pressured to adhere to specific diets, particularly during times of heightened awareness such as the beginning of the year. Using the example of the enticing aroma of Bunnings sausages on a Sunday, Loz humorously highlights the challenges of maintaining dietary restrictions amidst tempting indulgences.
The podcast critiques the notion that labeled diets, such as paleo, vegan, or keto, offer a one-size-fits-all solution to achieving health goals. Loz argues that these diets often overlook individual differences in metabolism, lifestyle factors, and nutritional needs, leading to frustration and imbalanced health outcomes.
Furthermore, Loz warns against the “all or nothing” mindset that can emerge from strict dietary labels, where individuals feel guilty or like failures for deviating from their prescribed diet. Instead, a flexible approach to nutrition is advocated, focusing on gradual improvements and mindful eating habits.
The importance of understanding an individual’s starting point and goals is emphasized, with Loz recommending small, sustainable changes tailored to each person’s needs. By incorporating additional meals, increasing eating frequency, and gradually adjusting dietary habits, long-term success can be achieved without sacrificing cultural or social enjoyment of food.
Through insightful commentary and practical advice, the podcast encourages listeners to adopt a more flexible approach to nutrition. By moving away from rigid dietary labels and embracing personalized strategies, individuals can cultivate healthier relationships with food while achieving their wellness goals in a sustainable manner.
