Development a masterstroke for region’s growth

A $13 million Masters Home Improvement Centre development for Kepnock has been given the green light, with Bundaberg Regional Council saying the move will generate jobs and cater to future growth.

Mayor Cr Mal Forman said the application, approved in a special meeting of Council, would cater to projected population growth east of the CBD. “The land in question forms part of a broader growth area in the eastern part of Bundaberg City which has the potential to provide housing for more than 12, 000 people over the next 20 or more years,” Cr Forman said.

“It will mean new and existing residents on that side of town and those living in coastal areas will have better access to essential goods and services.”

Council’s Planning and Development portfolio spokesperson Cr Ross Sommerfeld said the Planning Scheme did not anticipate major retail development within the location proposed by Masters, however Council felt there was an economic need for the development.

“It’s going to create jobs for our region, both throughout construction and, more importantly, on an ongoing basis once Masters is up and running,”

Cr Sommerfeld said.

“The proposal furthers the State interest of economic growth through development and construction, in that it will facilitate commercial development and create additional employment, both during the construction period, and more importantly, on an ongoing basis once the development is completed and operational. Some 135 permanent retail positions are expected to result from the proposed development, generating a further 128 jobs within the broader community.

In addition, some 286 jobs are expected to be created, both directly and indirectly, from the construction stage.

“Council considers the land at Kepnock to be a logical location for Masters and we believe it will have minimal impact on nearby residents and other major facilities.”

He said with the development set to go ahead at the junction of two significant roads it would be easily accessible to customers in the eastern areas of Bundaberg as well as the growing coastal communities.

“From a traffic perspective it will not have any adverse impacts on the surrounding road network.”

ELECTRICAL AND DATA

ENERGY EFFICIENT LIGHTING AT ITS

BEST

Finding the right home lighting for your needs

When it comes to home lighting, the choice of lights, lamps, fittings, fixtures and finishes is endless, but the friendly staff at Hayman’s Electrical can help you get the very best result for every part of your home, both inside and out.

These days, recessed down lights are among the most popular choices for living areas, contributing a stylish, modern feel to any home.

Down lights can also be used to highlight architectural features, even an attractive ceiling moulding, or just to add different effects with the use of different colour temperature lamps.

Dimming is another way to create different moods for the various areas in your house.

Pendant lights and oyster lights are other practical and attractive options for living spaces and bedrooms, as are lights incorporated into ceiling fans.

Kitchen - Of all the rooms in the house, the kitchen lighting requires the most attention to detail. Food preparation and cooking areas must have plenty of clear light to ensure safety and there must also be adequate general light.

A good approach is to use reflected light for general lighting throughout the kitchen and a combination of cabinet lighting or pendant lights to achieve stronger levels of light in the work

8

areas.

There is a huge range of decorative energy efficient light fixtures for kitchens to choose from. Whether you’re looking for something traditional or modern, economical or expensive there are light fixtures to suit your needs.

Children’s bedrooms - It can be great fun decorating a child’s room, but as these rooms can serve many functions, depending on the age of the child, there are a few considerations when it comes to lighting.

As a general room light, a ceiling mounted oyster or pendant light with a single or twin clear light bulb is ideal. For young children, add some fun with a novelty light fitting or coloured shade.

There are also wall lights and spot lights in a range of colourful designs and shapes children will love - the options are virtually limitless.

Study area - choose a desk fitting to provide focused light for homework, reading and hobbies. A desk or study fitting that uses an LED lamp source is proving to be very popular.

Whatever your lighting requirement, contact the staff at Haymans, no job is too big or too small.

Phone the friendly team now, on 4152 2755 or call into the showroom at 26 Burrum Street.

LOCAL NEWS Community groups share $300,000 in grants Highlight your business Ph: 0448 214 428

Thirteen local community organisations across the Burnett will share in more than $300,000 million in the latest round of grants from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund.

Member for Burnett, Stephen Bennett said these grants recognise that the struggle by not-for-profit organisations for funding is constant and it’s great to be able to help out through these grants every few months.

“These organisations do so much for the community and we’re proud to help,” said Mr Bennett. “The successful recipients include Moore Park Surf Life Saving, Bargara Bowls and Football Clubs, and Kalkie State School.”

Moore Park Surf Life Saving will receive $29,621 to buy a new inflatable rescue boat to replace the one damaged in Bundaberg flood rescues, as well as a trailer, motor and medical supplies for on-board patient treatment.

The Bargara Bowls Club has a welcome boost of $26,000 to upgrade their outdoor facilities for everyone’s enjoyment, and will help attract new members and the Football Club at Bargara has

$31,800 to spend on making their club facilities even better for players.

Kalkie State School will be installing shade structures to protect the children from the heat of the summer sun. Their welcome grant of $33,600 is a great investment in the future of our kids’ skin health.

Woodgate and District Residents Association will be renovating their kitchen facilities with their grant of $35,000, which is a bonus for all the groups who use the community hall and rely on the kitchen for catering.

“These hard working groups illustrate the variety of valuable work not-for-profit organisations do around our vast state,” Mr Bennett added.

Mr Bennett said the Gambling Community Benefit Fund provided one-off grants of up to $35,000 every three months with applications for the next round of funding closing at the end of February.

Grant allocations for this round take the total funding provided to Queensland not for profit organisations to over $596 million with more than 44,000 applications funded since 1994.

HEALTHY MIND David Lawson - Helping you to Find the Light!

Many people are unsure about how to choose the right counsellor – the following questions can assist you to decide.

1. How long have you been a counsellor and what are your academic qualifications? – This will give an indication of their training and experience.

2. Are you a financial member of a professional counselling association and what level of membership do you have? – Not everyone who calls themselves a counsellor is a member of a professional body. The higher the level of membership, the more experienced they are.

3. Do you receive regular professional supervision? – One hour per month is a minimum requirement.

4. What is your style of counselling? – How they work with a client and what is their counselling philosophy.

5. Will you incorporate my spiritual beliefs or worldview into the counselling process? – If this is important to you then it is important to find a counsellor who is comfortable to do this.

6. How long is a session and what is the cost? – Some counsellors are paid by the taxpayer, while others are paid by the client.

7. Is there a restriction about how many times I can see you? – Taxpayerfunded counsellors sometimes have a limit of how many times they can see you.

8. Do you offer out of hours appointments or how can I contact you in an emergency? – This is important if you work or can only arrange a babysitter after hours.

9. How long do I wait for a first appointment and then how long for a second session? –Waiting too long between sessions can at times not be helpful to the counselling process.

10. How much of the profits earned by your organisation remain in the local area and do you support local businesses? – Some organisations are not local and support local business to varying degrees.

Region’s economic recovery set to take flight

More people are flying to the Bundaberg Region than ever according to the latest airport figures released at the end of January.

Qantas Link and Virgin Australia carried 152,127 passengers between Bundaberg and Brisbane airports last calendar year, setting a new record for the region.

Economic Development portfolio spokesperson Councillor Greg Barnes said it was pleasing to see such positive results less than a year after Virgin Australia was approved to operate flights alongside Qantas to and from Bundaberg Regional Airport.

“It’s great news to see so many people visiting the region after what has been a tough year for Bundaberg,” Cr Barnes said.

“The 2013 figures show that there was also a 17.4% increase in passenger numbers compared to 2012 when there were 125,550 passengers flying in and out of Bundaberg Regional Airport.”

Cr Barnes said the upward trend in yearly passenger numbers was also reflected in the monthly figures with traveller numbers consistently above 13,000 over the past eight months.

Cr Barnes said while the increase in passengers was partly due to the addition of increased services to and from the airport, demand was pushing up traveller numbers.

“These latest figure indicate that there is clearly large demand from local residents, businesses in Brisbane and interstate travellers for more air travel services to and from Bundaberg Regional Airport.

“They also show that Bundaberg is not only a key Queensland tourism hot spot that people from across Australia want to experience, but also a key business destination with unlimited opportunities and potential.”

“Council will continue to work with these airlines to provide more services over the next 12 months as well as talk to other airlines about the possibility of starting flights north, which residents are constantly asking me about.”

Bundaberg North Burnett Tourism General Manager Rick Matkowski said it was gratifying to Freedom To Be Mobile see the excellent double digit growth in passenger numbers in and out of Bundaberg Airport.

Providing services to the general “It clearly demonstrates that there has been a public and the Medical Aids pent up demand from all sectors for more services Subsidy Scheme and more competitive fares,” Mr Matkowski said.

LOCAL NEWS Ph: 0488 754 816 Make sure you are prepared for a cyclone Every year between November and April, the coastal regions of Queensland are at risk of being hit by cyclones.

A cyclone is a violent storm characterised by high winds rotating around a calm centre that can produce winds in excess of 200 km/h. These strong winds can cause extensive damage to property and turn debris into dangerous missiles.

Preparing your family and your home for a cyclone is your responsibility. Every person who lives in the cyclone-prone areas of Queensland must recognise this and make it a priority between the months of November and April.

There are many important things that you can do to prepare your family and your home: • Compile a list of emergency phone numbers and keep it somewhere that is visible to all family members.

• Nominate an interstate family member or friend to be a point of contact in case you and your family become separated during the cyclone.

• Ensure everyone knows how to ‘Tune into warnings’ Tune in - to your local radio and TV stations

14

Log on - to the Bureau of Meteorology website Listen out - to Emergency Alert messages sent to your phone And Act! - Warnings are urgent. Act immediately on the advice provided.

• Find out if your home is located in an area that could be prone to storm surge or flooding by contacting your local council.

• Identify the strongest part of the house (usually the smallest room) and ensure everyone knows where this is in case you need to seek shelter in your home.

• Ensure at least one person in your household knows first aid.

• Clean up your yard.

Also make sure you have a fully stocked Emergency Kit stored safely in the home.

This should include a portable radio, a torch, spare batteries, first aid kit, non-perishable food, sturdy gloves, waterproof bags, candles, matches, essential medications and copies of important documents (eg insurance details, birth certificates and prescription refills) in sealable plastic bags.

MONTHLY FISHING UPDATE January, as always, was again a month to give your tackle, boat and vehicle the once over as the weather was, and never is, the best with lots of wind, rain and not many fish about. Most of the fishing has been in the rivers and creeks; even this has been hit and miss. So I regreased my trailer bearings, changed my winch cable, checked tyres and touched up the paint, went over my lights, checked my rod guides, oiled and greased my reels and checked the drags, all in all after the days effort I have everything ship shape.

The Baffle Creek has seen some nice whiting landed using fresh prawns and sand worms, yabbies have also been successful. The whiting have been mostly around the mouth on the incoming tide over the yabbies’ and sand flats. Have you noticed that by half tide the whiting, bream etc. go off the bite? I wondered about this till one day, with my young son on a very windy day fishing the Baffle we pumped some yabbies and to get out of the wind we ventured into North Creek just up around the first bend. We dropped anchor and started fishing, as the creek is narrow we fished around the edge of the Mangroves, that day was one of the best days fishing we had experienced we had a good feed of Bream, Whiting and a very nice Flathead. My theory is that at half tide the fish disappear into the Mangrove roots to feed and to seek safety. The Baffle has also been producing some really nice Mangrove Jack mainly up the river near the ferry crossing; try the rock walls and fallen trees. Reports of some big Jacks have been landed here.

The Kolan has also been fishing okay, mainly the bread and butter fish Bream and Whiting, although they have been hit and miss. There one day gone the next.

At the mouth the Flathead have been turning it on with some really big ones landed.

The Burnett River has also seen some good days but pick your tides, you need an early morning making tide to do any good. Be careful in the town reach and around the Rum Factory there are some obstacles under the water that you might get caught up on (use the anchor set up from last month). Fish the traffic and railway bridges at night for Bream and Grunter with the odd Mangrove Jack. Fish Paddy’s Island for some nice Flathead, best on the drift. Kirby’s Wall is holding some good Bream but you would do best to berley here.

Whiting over the mud flats at Strathdee and Bream and some Flathead along the north wall. Up near the mouth, drift along the north wall for Bream and Flathead also some good Grunter here. Out at the last leader there has seen some nice Mackerel caught using chrome slugs, but pick your days.

The Elliott River has Whiting at the mouth and Bream in the deeper channels upstream. Again fish a real early making tide and drifting is best, this way you might land a few Flathead. Upstream the Elliott has been producing some nice Mangrove Jack, mainly up the rocks and

around fallen trees, not many but of good quality.

The Burrum River is much the same as the Elliott except following the leaders on a good day some nice Mackerel have been caught and when they are on they have been on, but whatever you do, if you are in a small tinnie, be very careful as the tide and sand flats can get you into trouble, make sure your anchor is holding and that you have your safety vest on.

If you are out on the river don’t forget to take a couple of crab pots as there are some nice Muddies about.

Not much to report about outside except that my spies tell me that the big boats, those above 20ft, have been going out at around 2am or 3am and back to port by 10am, they tell me that the Black Kingys are still around also a few Grassy Sweetlips and some good Trevally.

For all you people out there that would like to join a good social fishing club, but don’t have a boat, maybe you should join Bundaberg Sports Fishing Club. This friendly bunch of people will make you most welcome and many of our members are always looking for a crew for trips outside, all you have to do is donate towards some fuel. Not only will you learn but you will make lots of friends, it is also a great family club. So check them out on their website at: www.bundabergsportfishing. com.au and take that first step.

Tech Talk & Tips It must be that time of year for the scammers to come out from the shadows to prey on unsuspecting people. This past week AMS has had a large number of customers ringing to say they have received phone calls from people pretending to be from “Windows” or “Microsoft” and telling them they have very serious errors on their computers. If you receive one of these calls “hang up” or say “I don’t have a computer” then hang up.

If you try to say anything else the call will just drag out, and if they are smooth talking enough to get you to let them into your computer, they not only have access to your personal details, they can also lock you out of your own computer or delete all of your data. As one unlucky customer of AMS found out when he got into an argument with the person on the other end of the phone. Luckily for him he backs up his data on a regular basis.

Some people go so far as to give them their credit card details and then begins the long process of contacting the bank to head off any unauthorised withdrawals, cancelling the card and waiting for a new one.

As it is storm season be vigilant about unplugging your power cord from your computer and also the phone cable from your ADSL modem if and when a storm is approaching. If, after a storm event, you cannot get your computer to power up try the old trick of removing the power cable and pressing the power button 3 to 4 times. Plug it back in and press the power button once, if it still doesn’t power up ring your technician.

I know I have covered both topics in the past but I felt it was time just to remind you all to be aware of not only the scammers but the weather, also remember, if you have a surge protection power board the manufactures usually only guarantee the power board for one surge event. So check your guarantee paper work, this is why if you live in an area that is known for its storms or uncertain power supply a UPS (uninterruptable power supply) is a better option. They cost from $125 to buy.

Judy wrote to me this week to say that a friend of hers has Windows 7 Home Premium as does Judy, however her friend had an icon on her desktop for weather and Judy didn’t have this same icon, her friend could not help her as her grandson had set it up for her while he was up at Christmas and did not show her how it was done.

Well Judy it is quite simple, you just right click on a clear space on your desktop and a box will appear and you left click gadgets, up will come a selection of different gadgets for you

to choose from just double click the gadget you want and it will appear on your desktop then close the window you have by clicking on the red x. To know how to use the gadget just click on the options icon to see the gadgets properties, if you want to remove the gadget you have chosen just put your mouse pointer over the gadget and the gadget controls will appear then click remove, or you could right click on the gadget and just choose to close it.

Tom is upset because his friend’s emails keep going to his spam folder in Windows Live Mail (WLM). Tom I think your “Junk Email” protection level may be set to high, to check this and possibly lower it. Open WLM and click on menus then click the safety option, when this opens up click on the options tab try lowering the level of protection you have to suit yourself.

Some people don’t get a large amount of junk emails so they opt for no automatic filtering; you just need to decide what level works for you.

As I predicted before Christmas lots of people were disappointed over the Christmas break because they were unable to set up their new computer! This showed by the number of customers who dropped into AMS to get their new computer installed and working the first day of opening. AMS Computers do not mind setting up your new computer even if you purchase elsewhere, but when you try to set it up yourself, the techs at AMS have to then go back to the beginning and start again, this takes time and will cost you more, so best you go straight to AMS and lose that frustration, or better still just buy from AMS and have your new computer fully set up and installed, so you just plug and play. You get a limited 5 year warranty, lots of extras and everything to keep your new computer safe. Why not get your best quote and then call into AMS and see what they can do? You might be pleasantly surprised! If you need, but can’t afford a new computer, AMS Computers also has a very competitive lease arrangement that might suit you, for just a small payment each month you can have one of the latest fastest computers, whether it’s for homework, your job, your children’s school or just for home, leasing is a good alternative that lots of people are turning to.

Well I hope this has been of assistance to not only Judy and Tom but others as well? Until next time remember don’t be afraid to try something new just make sure to read the instructions well before you click “ok”.

HOME & GARDEN Create Your Own Privacy

Have any handy hints for the garden you would like to share? Email: editor@tradiesandladies.com.au

Your monthly gardening guide brought to you by ‘Bundaberg Wholesale Palms & Plants’ At Bundaberg Wholesale Palms we often get asked to recommend plants to provide a screened area to protect the garden owner’s privacy. There is a multitude of plants available which we would recommend to you but another question we get asked is for plants that grow fast so the privacy dream becomes a reality?

Well, all plants need growing time so for that you will need patience and the only other option is to purchase more mature plants but these of course come with more cost.

So Steve has sourced an amazing product of bamboo screening. The potential to have your privacy area instantly is now available. They come in one width size but two different heights, 1.8m & 2.4m, to choose from.

The bamboo strips are approximately 75mm wide so they are quite strong and sturdy. Once you see them you will be able to visualise the area you wish to screen. It may be a large or small area that you need to do but this will suffice and the bonus is the affordable price.

So come out today and have a look at the bamboo screening and design your own piece of garden privacy.

Happy Gardening!

LOCAL NEWS Child care centres celebrate New Year Want to stand out from the crowd?

Ph: 0448 214 428

Small education and care services throughout Queensland are welcoming in the New Year with legislative changes that reduce their red tape burden.

Member for Burnett, Stephen Bennett said the new Education and Care Services Act 2013 (ECS Act) came into effect from January 1 making life easier for 63 services around Queensland.

“The Newman Government made the promise to cut unnecessary red tape across a range of services and this is yet another example of us delivering on that commitment,” Mr Bennett said.

“The 450 staff working in the small education and child care services affected by the changed legislation will now be able to do what they do best – educate and care for children – rather than being buried under the pile of paperwork that Labor stacked on their desks.”

More than 2,600 children attend the affected services across 50 communities located predominantly in Queensland’s rural and remote areas.

The services cater for children from birth to schoolaged and the majority operate in the north of the state, 32 per cent are based in Indigenous communities and 11 per cent also care for children with disabilities.

Mr Bennett said the legislative changes were based on strong industry support for the more flexible approach to providing quality education and care services.

“The changes will not only reduce the regulatory burden for these services but will also improve the educational outcomes for the children,” Mr Bennett said.

“One of the most significant changes is that staff no longer have to submit extensive applications for a renewal license and instead will be visited by a government representative at least every three years to ensure standards are being maintained.

“The new legislation also allows greater flexibility for educator-to-child ratios across the entire centre.

“The new legislation’s staffing requirements will be phased in over time at these smaller services.”

The services, which were not regulated under the National Quality Framework, will now automatically move from the Child Care Act 2002 to the new ECS Act. The new legislation is a key reform in the list of Queensland Red Tape Reduction Initiatives.
