New sign on our lake

As posted earlier this year the SCRC as asked us not to feed the bird-life on the lake. Lets hope we all take note.

Sewerage Upgrade

Work is about to start on a sewerage upgrade in Huntley Place. This upgrade will connect that part of the sewerage system to a pumping station on the other side of Bellvista Boulevard and then through to the main station.

This will hopefully assist if and when we have another rain storm similar to the one we had earlier this year when some storm water made its way into the sewerage system. The work will take at least a week or two and road closures are expected to be minimal .

"Why can't our gardens look as good as Bellvista's"?

That has got to be the quote of the week " Why can't our gardens look as good as Bellvista's?" This quote was mentioned to our Landscaping Sub Committee chairperson Paul Harrison (seen here chatting) from one of the Council workers. It originally came from a meeting between the Pelican Waters Residents Association and the SCRC. We all agree, the council is doing a great job considering the lack of rain. There is still a bit to go but we are getting there.

Don't trash it!

That’s the message during National Recycling Week, 7 – 14 November.

To help spread the word, council is hosting a series of monthly recycling workshops as well as tours across the Coast.

Over the coming months, council is holding 12 free workshops with demonstrations on how to recycle organic waste using a worm farm or compost bin.

So come along and have all your questions answered—you’ll even get the chance to win one for yourself.

The first workshop is at the Beerwah resource and recovery centre on 7 November. To book into a session near you, call council’s customer service centre on 5475 7272.

But the recycling fun doesn’t end there!

On 14 November, take a bus tour of your local resource and recovery centre and discover what happens to the contents of your bin once it leaves your house—you’ll be amazed at what people throw away and hopefully also learn something new.
