Cambooya now home to performing arts

Kiyua Kids come from all backgrounds and cultures and enjoy classes every Saturday during school term.

From its humble beginnings with 20 kids in a small community hall in 2004, Kiyua has enriched the lives of hundreds of children and youth in the Toowoomba community for over 19 years, offering classes in martial arts, dance, drama, hip hop and art.

Already hosting classes at Humeridge Church in Toowoomba, 2022 saw its second venue open in Cambooya, providing country kids with the same opportunities.

Classes in dance and drama will be offered every Saturday during school term at the Cambooya Community Hall on Gore Street.

Kiyua founder Sheriden Rehn said the organisation is solely run by volunteers, with ages ranging from the youngest Kiyua Kid aged three to the oldest volunteer aged 86.

“Our amazing teachers give their time freely to mentor and guide the Kiyua Kids and lead them to become the best they can be,” Ms Rehn said.

“All the Kiyua teachers came through the program and forgo paid work of a Saturday to volunteer their time to pay forward what

they have been given.”

“Kiyua is not all about performing arts. We are a family with an inclusion attitude and a huge heart.”

“Helpful conversations and guidance are all a part of what Kiyua has become. It takes a village to raise a child is so true. It also takes a village to support parents and care givers.”

The fee is a gold coin donation.

There is no need to pre book - just turn up on the day.

These two groups look after the various needs of those who are serious about their music making.

Participants will learn about copyright, how royalties are earned and distributed, registering works, songwriting splits using the Writer Portal and app, QMusic programs, workshops, skills development and professional opportunities.

The second workshop is ‘The Music Business: Getting Started.

Another crash at prolific junction

Emergency services were called to the scene of a crash at the junction of Old Wyreema Road and the Gore Highway at Drayton last week.

On Wednesday, 4 January, paramedics attended a singlevehicle crash at 6.08pm.

An occupant with back pain was transported in a stable condition to Toowoomba Hospital.

Two other occupants were assessed at the scene, with no serious injuries reported and they were not transported to hospital.

Late last year, Member for Condamine Pat Weir asked Minister for Transport and Main Roads (TMR) Mike Bailey if there will be any future funding allocated to improve the junction’s safety.

Mr Bailey responded that TMR has no plans to complete an upgrade however would continue to monitor its operation and safety.

Property offences at all-time high level

Local residents have unfortunately had to remain highly

into a home looking to steal belongings and motor vehicles has

Data that dates back to 2001 shows that in 2022 the Drayton Police Division, which includes Westbrook, Wyreema, Vale View, Hodgson Vale, Top Camp and Mount Rascal as well as the Toowoomba suburbs of Drayton, Darling Heights and Harristown, had the most amount of unlawful entry offences on record.

There were 234 unlawful offences recorded in 2022, comfortably surpassing the previous record of 161, set in 2021.

The lowest on record was 79, set in 2005, although since then the population of the area and the number of properties has increased substantially.

In 2022, December was the worst month, with 42 offences recorded, followed by November and July of 2022 which each had 31 offences recorded.

The figures in the Cambooya Police Division, although higher than recent years, were not record-breaking.

The Division includes Cambooya, Greenmount, East Greenmount and Ramsay and parts of surrounding areas.

In 2022, 26 unlawful entry offences were recorded, up from 14 in 2021 and 9 in 2020.

The record since data began is 28, set in 2002.

Returning to the Drayton Division, unlawful use of motor vehicle offences were also at an all-time high, with 77 recorded in 2022, beating the previous record of 64 set in 2021.

Similarly, in the Cambooya Division, the number of unlawful use of motor vehicles set a record, 13, far surpassing the previous record of 9 set in 2010 and 2021’s tally of 6.

More than $13 million worth of property has been stolen from Queensland homes in the past three years.

RACQ research shows three quarters of Queenslanders are concerned about being broken into while away on holidays, with two-thirds taking extra home security measures.

RACQ Group Executive Insurance, Trent Sayers said in addition to making sure all entry points to your home are secure, extra precautions can include having a house sitter or someone check on your property regularly, having your mail collected, leaving lights on timers, and having security cameras.

“It’s also worth rethinking what you share on social media,”

Mr Sayers said.

“Our research found almost half of Queenslanders post pictures of their holiday adventures online while they’re away.

“However, be mindful opportunistic thieves may use this information against you.”

The Darling Downs region had the second-least amount of home break-in claims in Queensland over the past three years for those with RACQ home insurance policies.

Have you seen our LPR vehicle around town?

The LPR vehicle is equipped with recognition cameras and integrated GPS technology to monitor parked vehicles using:

• GPS coordinates

• registration number

• the time that the vehicle was parked.

This information can be used to issue an infringement notice for unlawful parking to the

registered owner via post.

To support traffic flow around our city, the safety of our community and access to businesses. The LPR vehicle allows Parking Officers to monitor clearways, schools and loading and bus zones without compromising the safety of themselves or other road users.

New subdivision proposed for Top Camp

Watcon

A planning report submitted by Precinct Urban Planning on behalf of Watcon Building Group states the proposal seeks to subdivide two contiguous allotments totalling 15.6 hectares.

The smaller of the two existing allotments contains an existing residence and outbuildings.

The larger allotment has been largely cleared of vegetation and has been used for grazing purposes.

The vast majority of the lots, 23, are between 4000m2 and 5000m2 in size, while the remaining four are 5382m2, 8109m2, 10264m2 and 15375m2.

Access to the allotments will largely be via Crebra Crescent, except to the existing residence and two lots with access via a cul-de-sac termination at the western end of the Hayden Street East road reserve.

New roads will be constructed within the subdivision to provide access for most of the allotments.

The planning report states alternative access rather than via Crebra Crescent was investigated.

“In response to pre-lodgement advice provided by Toowoomba Regional Council, the applicant investigated options for a second access to the site including highway access via the unformed Hayden Street East intersection,” the report said.

“In their subsequent pre-lodgement advice, the State Assessment and Referral Agency included confirmation from the Department of Transport and Main Roads that this access arrangement would be unsuitable and highlighted their preference for access via the Crebra Crescent intersection.”

The report states the application is supported by a Traffic Impact Assessment that confirms the Crebra Crescent/New

England Highway intersection is of appropriate standard to accommodate traffic generated by the development.

The report also says the proposed lots will be connected to Council’s reticulated water supply as well as to electricity and telecommunication networks servicing the area, however will rely on individual on-site wastewater disposal systems designed to meet relevant standards.

Building Group Pty Ltd has submitted an application to Toowoomba Regional Council seeking to create 27 rural residential allotments at Top Camp near Crebra Crescent.

An aerial view of the subject site shows access via Crebra Crescent to the south. The New England Highway can be seen to the east.

The land proposed to be subdivided, looking east.

The Great Aussie Composting Roadshow

A free Composting Roadshow for intensive animal industries will be making its way to Pittsworth in March.

The Composting Roadshow will be a unique opportunity for farmers to learn and share knowledge and experience about many facets of composting including feedstocks, composting principles, costs and benefits, regulatory requirements, mortality composting and the benefits of applying compost to land.

It will provide intensive

animal industries such as egg and broiler farms, cattle feedlots, piggeries and dairy farms with tailored and in-depth information regarding solid manure management, focusing on composting as a management tool.

Where relevant, the composting of food and fibre processing residues in regional areas and the co-composting of urban and agricultural residues will also be discussed.

After stopping in three towns in both Victoria and New South Wales, the roadshow will visit Pittsworth on Wednesday, 15 March before travelling on to Dalby and Beaudesert.

The session will run from 10am to 4pm.

A venue is yet to be confirmed.

It is hosted by the University of Queensland Centre for Recycling of Organic Waste and Nutrients. Presenters include:

•Professor Robert Rynk, State University of New York

•Matthew Cotton, Composting Consultant, California

•Janine Price, Scolexia Animal & Avian Health Consultancy

•Dr Kevin Wilkinson, Frontier Ag & Environment

•Johannes Biala, University of Queensland Centre for Recycling of Organic Waste and Nutrients

Have a say on 10c container expansion

Glass wine and spirit bottles could be included in the Containers for Change program, with a survey currently open gathering Queenslanders’ thoughts on expanding what can be collected.

An online survey and discussion paper have been launched asking Queenslanders and industry to have their say on growing the recycling scheme which provides 10 cents for every container exchanged.

“More than 5.7 billion containers have been recycled and refunded since Containers for Change launched four years ago,” Environment Minister Meaghan Scanlon said.

“That’s over $560 million in refunds and billions of

containers being turned into new products instead of ending up in landfill,” Ms Scanlon said.

In addition to glass wine and spirit bottles, Queenslanders will also be able to have their say on possibly including other items like larger flavoured milk, pure vegetable or fruit juice as well as water and wine in liquid paperboard packs (between 1 and 3L).

Currently, the containers for change program accepts most aluminium, glass, plastic, steel and some liquid paperboard beverage containers.

Ms Scanlon said taking more containers eligible for refunds makes it easier for people to recycle, particularly in more regional and remote communities where they mightn’t have a recycling bin.

“From the perspective of Queensland’s fast-growing recycling industry, it also means beverage containers can be sorted and manufactured into new products quicker,” she said.

“This is a great opportunity to expand a program that has supported hundreds of jobs, thrown millions of dollars behind local groups and seen the number of bottles being recovered and recycled in Queensland grow threefold.”

Virginie Marley, acting CEO of Container Exchange, the not-for-profit that runs Containers for Change, is encouraging all Queenslanders to have their say about the scheme.

“The Containers for Change scheme has been embraced by Queenslanders since launch in 2018, providing refunds for over 24,000 different types of containers at our more than 350 container refund points across the state,” Ms Marley said.

“We look forward to the continued growth and expansion of the scheme, and encourage our customers, refund point operators, beverage manufacturers and community groups and charities to have their say online.”

In addition to private residents, the Containers for Change program is used by local community groups such as the Hodgsonvale Community Sports Club.

Nearby Containers for Change locations include:

• CFCNT - 378 South Street, Harristown

• Return-It - Lifeline - 187 Perth Street, South Toowoomba

• TOMRA Recycling Centre - 104 Neil Street, Toowoomba

• Pittsworth Metals - 37 Grevillea Street, Pittsworth

The survey is open now until 5pm, 20 February 2023.
