Since our last issue you may have noticed we’ve replaced some old LOCAL news stands and added new ones into more local shopping malls, including the Caboolture region. Now it’s even easier for you to pick up a copy of The LOCAL to enjoy as you take a coffee break while shopping!
This month’s feature story by Matt Owen examines the continued traffic issues on the Bribie Island Bridge – and offers some community-contributed solutions. Another recent accident on the bridge caused 2 to 3 hours delays from Ningi to Bribie Island. With suitable land for a duplicate crossing already bought, the design and location finalised, why can’t the state government get on with it?
We also have the popular “Out and About with Mozza” articles discussing current public concerns in our region. And of course, Cranky Lizard is at it again - this time giving a serve to our local and federal governments.
Unfortunately, I’m not able to report on the progress of local state infrastructure developments as our state member has not sent me any information on work she may be doing in this region, although it was encouraging to learn that her recent appearance at Beachmere was well-attended.
As always, please support our local businesses and try to stay offline with your purchases. Our local businesses rely on us to keep our economy going.
Enjoy your read, Locals and Visitors, while having that cuppa.
Belinda Ferguson.
