ALBANY CREEK VET
Sneak Peak!
Albany Creek Vets Have a New Home! Albany Creek Vets are moving out of their old building and into a brand new purpose built veterinary surgery right next door to the old premises on the corner of Albany Creek Road and Old Northern Road.

ALBANY CREEK VET
I have been taking our pets to Albany Creek Vets for over thirty years and Steve Lindores and his amazing team of nine vets and nine veterinary nurses have been an important part of the Albany Creek community for many years. Now after 30 years Albany Creek Vets are moving out of their old building and into a brand new purpose built veterinary surgery right next door to the old premises on the corner of Albany Creek Road and Old Northern Road. The new surgery opens this month and Steve invited us in to have a look around. After years of planning, every detail of the new building has been carefully designed to provide the perfect environment for pets and their owners.
As you walk through the new facility, you are aware of the extra space which has increased from 230m² in the old building to over 300m² in the new building.
The first thing that strikes you is the space. Unlike the rather cramped old building, the new surgery is roomy and light with high atrium ceilings and much larger floor space. We started the tour in the reception area and although not finished the room is very impressive and welcoming. There is a dedicated purpose built X-ray room and a brand new state of the art X-ray machine. Steve Lindores believes the new technology will produce much better images which will assist with more accurate diagnoses. The new operating theatre is much larger than the previous room with two operating tables and a dedicated scrub room. The additional capacity will help during busy periods or in emergencies. At the rear of the building is Albany Creek Groom, the grooming facility has been relocated from the upstairs in the old building. The new grooming centre has been carefully designed to service both large and small breeds of cats and dogs. The largest room in the complex is the prep treatment room which includes tables for minor treatments as well as a dedicated dental table. There is no shortage of dog cages, in fact the capacity has been doubled with many purpose built recovery cages including two super-sized cages which are big enough for our St Bernard. Cats are very well catered for with their own dedicated recovery room. As you walk through the new facility, you are aware of the extra space which has increased from 230m² in the old building to over 300m² in the new building. This means a larger administration area, pathology room and pharmacy. The always busy Veterinary Surgery has 3 spacious consultation rooms, a very large disabled toilet and waiting area. It’s been a long time coming but the new Albany Creek Vets is well worth the wait. Steve Lindores and his team would like to invite all of their clients and the Albany Creek community to take a look at the new building. An official opening date will be announced in the coming month. Paul Crooks - Brisbane Buzz Magazines

Life Saving Charity Dinner Local Builder Spencer Constructions (Qld) Pty Ltd is organizing a dinner and auction to raise funds for MATES in Construction - a registered charity working effectively on Suicide prevention and mental health in the Australian Construction industry. Ben and Stuart Spencer from Spencer Constructions have seen the devastating results of mental illness in the construction industry. We spoke to Stuart Spencer who told us what motivated them to help. “We felt compelled to assist this cause due to our varied personal experiences with suicide and the alarming industry rates ie every second day we lose a construction worker to suicide and for every suicide there are 40 to 100 attempts to end their life. 80% of these workers never return to work.” “With a growing workforce of 20 employees (80% under 30 years of age), we see firsthand the pressures that our workers are exposed to and want to ensure that we do our bit to neutralise any associated impact. The first place to start is to raise awareness of the issue and the range of support available. This is what we have set out to achieve with this initiative.” “The money raised on the night will go to the front line in keeping MIC field officers out with workers – Boots on the ground save lives.” Said Stuart.

I moved to Albany Creek in 1984 at which time cows were grazing in a paddock where Dan Murphy’s now stands and the Old Northern Road was still dirt. A generation ago Albany Creek was a very different place. These historical photos were supplied by Peter Campbell Realty, the Campbell clan were amongst the very first land owners way back in the 19th century at which time less than 70 people lived in the area. Compare this aerial photo of Albany Creek with today the difference is astounding we gone from bare treeless pastoral land to a very leafy suburb. Paul Crooks - Brisbane Buzz Magazines

This photo was taken in 1950 from North of the South Pine River looking across Albany Creek from Eatons Hill. The once bare banks and pastures have been replaced with leafy suburban homes and gardens.

Jump forward to the early seventies and the first housing estates spring up. This is a view from Leitchs road with Albany Creek Road right to left and Keong Road to the left.

THEN & NOW
The same view today and the once treeless suburb is unrecognisable with many more houses including Young Care on the corner of Leitchs road and the very recent Hungry Jacks on the corner of Keong road.
A L B A N Y C R E E K H I S TO R Y
This is a view looking west onto the intersection of Old Northern Road and Albany Forest Drive. Albany Forest is the largest housing development in Albany Creek with the land development extending through three decades.
NOW & THEN
This photo was taken in 1985 at which time the Albany Forrest estate had only just begun. During the 80s and 90s Albany Creek was one of Australia’s fastest growing suburbs and today nearly 17,000 people call Albany Creek Home.

Not Just Another Agent “I am so glad I chose Matt to sell both my houses, because he was knowledgeable about the market and listened to my needs. He was a great communicator and kept me informed at all times about what was going on and he was always available. As a result he sold both my houses at their first open home (in 1 day). Matt is an exceptional real estate agent who went above and beyond what I expected” Manuela Dieckelmann
I was honoured to recently be nominated and receive the first Wow Award for outstanding customer service. I was nominated by one of my grateful clients, Manuela for selling her two properties enabling Manuela to purchase a larger property that would accommodate her family needs. As part of the family’s gratitude, Manuela’s father gifted me a replica of the Endeavour that he had hand crafted in the shed of his home, I am truly thankful for receiving such a gift. Receiving the Wow Award has made me reflect on what I do that is different to other real estate agents. My aim is to provide my clients the same service that I expect when buying or selling. I value the relationships I form with my clients, taking the time to truly understand each of my clients needs and family situations and develop the best strategy to sell their property, exceeding their expectations and providing outstanding service. Having spent the majority of my life on the northside of Brisbane between Bridgeman Downs
to Cashmere, I have great knowledge of the area and enjoy helping my clients achieve their property goals. If you are looking to sell your property and would like an agent that will truly work for your best interests and deliver outstanding customer service, please call me for an obligation free appraisal. I am also passionate about our local area and I am actively involved in the Albany Creek State High School P&C Association as the current President. My commitment to this position is to work with the school, the community and our local businesses to provide better facilities for our students and future community& business leaders.
Phone Matt Timms 0413 757 349 691 Albany Creek Rd www.petercampbellrealty.com 50
The goals of the P&C team are air-conditioning the school buildings, beautification and landscaping of school grounds and better facilities for the school excellence programs. To achieve this, we need the support of the community. If you or your business can volunteer or provide a financial donation towards these projects, please contact me. All support is acknowledged and greatly appreciated by the school community.
