Agenda Item #5 Matters of Public Interest

Brand new bush food garden at Kilcoy State High School
Despite the wet weather, an enthusiastic crowd from the Kilcoy community group showed up with smiles on their faces to see the new site for the Kilcoy State High School bush food community garden. The development of this project is an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the importance of the Jinibara people as part of the rich history of the Kilcoy region.
This project is a collaborative effort of the local community group, Healthy Land & Water, and the local school. Students from the agriculture program, along with their teachers, Liz Carter and Karen Martin, are in the process of designing the garden and will be planting carefully selected bushfood plants in this space.

Greg and Andrea Huglin Movie Making Magic with Noosa Film Academy – proudly an RADF Project

Andrea said “I always say Community Filmmaking is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get!  On Saturday I think we got phenomenal acting and I thought the story developed was extremely entertaining”.   Due to a family member’s ill health I was unable to attend any of the RADF funded community filmmaking.  I wish to thank Cr Wendt for attending most of the filmmaking sessions held at our schools located at Lowood, Toogoolawah, Kilcoy and finally the community filmmaking day at Fernvale.  I especially enjoy watching our young leaders working with the camera and the action que.  I am sure a great deal of experience and knowledge was shared by all those involved.
