Ipswich City CouncilDivision 4 - Councillor Trevor NardiNewsletterWelcome to the July edition of the Division 4 Update. Things are starting to settle down again after a busy six months. Firstly with Christmas, then the council elections and most recently my spare time has been taken up with helping my wife Lynne finalise the sale of Perfection Press after thirty eight years. Lynne is looking forward to catching up on some gardening and generally getting some time for herself. Winter is now upon us and the early rains in June were a welcome sight. Those lucky enough to have a rainwater tank installed will have had the tanks refilled after the recent dry spell and we should now have enough water for general purposes around our homes until spring. Even though the mornings are cooler and darker if you can manage a brisk walk or two during the week or on weekends it will help keep off the extra winter kilos and keep you in good shape for the summer. I look forward to seeing you at my July round of community meetings or my upcoming Diabetes Morning Tea.

Division 4 Footpaths A footpath was recently installed on the northern side of Clifton Street, Booval. More footpath work will shortly start in Clifton Street - from Dudleigh down to Hamilton Street at an estimated cost of $65,000.00 Stafford Street, Silkstone will shortly receive footpaths on the western side from Glebe Road to Gomer Street and on the eastern side from Gomer Street towards Enterprise Lane. This work has an estimated cost of $90,000.00 Trevor has given his approval for a footpath to be installed in Lindsay Street, Bundamba from No. 9 to Bergins Hill Road. This has an approximate cost of $37,000. Footpath work will shortly start on the western side of Braeside Road between Brisbane Road & Naomai Street, Bundamba. Kerb & Channel Work will shortly be underway on kerb and channelling of Whitwood Road, Ebbw Vale with an estimated value of $400,000.00. Kerb and channelling of both sides of Railway Street, Ebbw Vale was recently completed.
The eastern side was totally funded by the Southern Regional Water Pipeline and they shared costs with Council for the western side. Division 4 Developments The Good Guys opened at Booval in May. Work is expected to start shortly on the demolition of the Racehorse Hotel Liquor Barn and the development of a Dan Murphy's Liquor Barn on this site. Work is ongoing on the 107 units in Gledson Street, North Booval. As part of the development a pedestrian refuge has been installed and Translink have installed a bus seat on the development side and a bus seat and shelter on the Jack Barclay Park side. A material change of use application has been received for 25 Alexandra Street, Booval. This proposal is for five, three bedroom double storey units
Racehorse Hotel - Booval Council recently received an updated development application from Australian Liquor Holdings. A few years ago there was an application to develop a Coles on this site but these plans have changed. A number of months ago an application was made to council for a Dan Murphy's Liquor Barn to be developed where the Liquor Barn has been located and now there is an additional application proposal comprising a sports bar, gaming lounge, bistro, kids room and outdoor terrace areas with the existing hotel being completely demolished. Trevor will keep you informed as to the outcome of this application.
