On Our Selection Councillor ‘devastated’ about War Memorial

Cr Taylor has a strong connection with Cambooya and the surrounding district and has attended numerous Anzac Day services at the memorial, including this year.

“It is devastating for history, for people with family memorialised on the cenotaph,” Cr Taylor said.

“Fortunately, no one’s been hurt so we can be thankful for that.”

A Queensland Police spokesperson said a 39-years-old Cambooya man has been fined in relation to the crash.

“Police will allege the man was driving a Ford Falcon on Eton Street around 6.17am, that crashed into a monument, causing significant damage,” the spokesperson said.

“He was issued with three infringement notices, including exceeding the speed limit by more than 20km/h ($646); careless driving ($575); and driver involved in a crash failing to fulfil duties ($287).”

Police investigations are continuing.

Cr Taylor said she had been suggesting for quite some time that strong bollards or something similar should be built between the memorial and the road to prevent an incident.
