Although the weather was a little damp, the Colours of Somerset Festival was declared a complete success by the festival organiser Idell Wadley. Ms Wadley was overwhelmed how well everything came together at the Fernvale Campdraft grounds venue.  The festival showcased culture, services, talent and goods on offer in the Somerset Region and surrounding areas.

 

On 11 March 1878 Mary McConnell established the first children’s hospital in Queensland (second in Australia to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne).   Proudly on 8th March 2018, Mary’s great-great-great-granddaughter Caitlin McConnel had the honour of speaking at the Children’s Hospital Foundation International Women’s Day breakfast, where the Foundation officially launched the Mary McConnel Career Boost Program for Women in Pediatric Research.

I cannot express how proud I am to see this project take shape. Many thanks to Council staff and our new Council Team for making this happen. The Kilcoy Indoor Sports Steering Committee worked hard during our last term to arrive at the very best way forward with respect to this very much needed project.The development application seeks approval for an extension to Indoor sport and recreation, on land at 35-37 Hope Street, Kilcoy. The proposed development will be staged by converting the existing shed to provide for the new gymnasium and gymnastics hall and multipurpose rooms as Stage 1 and the multipurpose indoor sports courts as Stage 2.The existing Kilcoy Indoor Sport Centre building has an area of 1,383m2 and contains a gymnasium around an indoor cricket net. A gymnastics area is located at the eastern end of the building. Additional infrastructure on site includes an external basketball court with a hardstand area of approximately 450m2 located at the rear of the building. A 12m x 6m shed is also located at the rear of the building. A 12m x 3m transportable building is located to the west of the main sports centre building. The site contains 27 car parking spaces in Hope Street and an informal parking area to the eastern side of the building, served by a gravel driveway. The proposed extension to the building includes:  Upgrading of the existing shed to provide a dedicated gymnasium and gymnastics area, separated by a solid wall;  Construction of a large building extension to the south of the existing building including two multipurpose courts and ancillary facilities including change rooms; and  A multipurpose wing to the west of the existing and proposed building including café, reception area, administration room, allied health consulting rooms, toilets and multipurpose rooms. The building will have a total gross floor area of 3,973m2, an increase of approximately 2,050m2 of useable area and an increase of gross floor area of approximately 2,500m2. Stage 1 will have an increase in gross floor area of approximately 944m2.
