October 2007

Picnic and Movie in the Park

Saturday 13 October 2007 Biamba Yumba Park starts at 4 PM.

• Jumping Castles
• Mister Balloons
• Face Painter
• Live Music
• BBQ
• Children’s Movie at night

Residents and their guests are asked to BYO picnic to the park, and enjoy the entertainment.

The movie will be shown in an area adjacent to picnic in the park. The MPA ask people to bring torches so they can move safely after the movie.

A lighting tower and toilets will be set up in the park.

The MPA would like to thank Cr Jane Prentice for sponsoring movie in the park and Cathy Lammie for sponsoring the children’s entertainment.

River Park Upgrade

The playground equipment and the BBQ facilities will be replaced in the next few weeks. Cr Jane Prentice has allocated an additional $20 000 to increase the park upgrade fund to $126 000.

Two picnic shelters will be built in the park and the large tree next to the play equipment will be removed for safety reasons.

Seven Oaks Development

On Tuesday 18 Sept 2007, I had the opportunity to address the sitting of Council about the Fig Tree Pocket Local Plan and Seven Oaks development.

The Lord Mayor and Deputy Lord Mayor are very well aware of the 10 m vegetation corridor issue in Fig Tree Pocket as outlined in the local town plan.

David Hinchliffe had the right of reply and said that the BCC will look at enforcing the vegetation corridor for the Seven Oaks development.


I would like thank the local residents who sent letters to the BCC about the vegetation corridor and the Seven Oaks development.

Mandalay Bushcare Group

The Mandalay Habitat Group has had a name changed and from now on it will be known as the Mandalay Bushcare Group.

Unfortunately there was an act of vandalism to a number of native trees around the lagoon area at Biamba Yumba Park. A number of the new plants which were planted by the MBG were badly damaged.

The MBG will be holding another working bee on Sunday 28 October 2007. Please check the park notice board for the start time.

The MPA will put on another sausage sizzle and supply cold soft drinks and light beer after the working bee.

MPA Membership

The winner of the membership prize was won by Gerry King from Mandalay Street.

At present about 110 households have joined the MPA, but I would like to see the membership reach over 150 households this year.

Remember it is never too late to join the MPA and every membership does count.

You can still drop your membership forms in the letter boxes at 34 Mandalay St or 28 Michelangelo St.
