| Bayside Schools of Tomorrow |
 State Schools of Tomorrow at last with an extra $50m making the project worth $150m to Bayside schools. After some controversy a decision has been made and the much needed work can now begin. Bayside schools are set to be upgraded into the 21th century after being neglected for many years. Expectations are high and if the promotional photos of other Queensland State School facilities are anything to go by we won’t be disappointed.
Wynnum State High School, Manly, Manly West, Tingalpa, Wondall Heights and Wynnum West State Schools are all to be renewed and upgraded with enhancements to be made to Darling Point Special School. A new modern High School is going to be built to accommodate Wynnum North State High School student and is planned to open by 2010. The current Wynnum North High site is to be redeveloped into a new primary school to accommodate students from the closing of Lindum, Wynnum Central and Wynnum North primary schools.

| Wynnum Wading Pool - A New Look |
 It has been a long wait filled with months of unexpected delays, set backs and difficulties, but the Wynnum Wading Pool has finally been officially opened as of Sunday 13th July and the end result has proved to be well worth the wait. Hundreds lined the foreshore this past weekend to check out the new improvements to the popular recreational facility and to partake in the free Rotary Club sausage sizzle and activities organised in celebration of the event. Music was provided by accomplished trio Azul Jazz playing a range of popular tunes with double bass, guitar and vocals.
Local residents, Brianna and Grace were very impressed with the new look. Despite the winter chill the girls didn’t hesitate to jump in and test the water which has never been so clear. Cautiously, Councillor Peter Cumming followed their example, braving the cold and plunging in to join in the revelry and take his turn down the slide.
“Wading across the pool is a great work out,” he enthused.
$6.5 million was spent on upgrading the heritage listed, Wynnum Wading Pool Reserve which was constructed by the Brisbane City Council during the 1930’s Depression, as part of the Unemployment Relief System established to provide work projects for the unemployed. 2008 marks the 75th Anniversary of the pool.
“I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that the $24 million upgrade of the Sandgate, Shorncliffe and Wynnum Manly Foreshore is finally, formally completed with the opening of this refurbished Wynnum Wading Pool here today” said Lord Mayor Campbell Newman.
“There have been a few difficulties on the way but we are here today and we have a wonderful facility that for many generations to come can be enjoyed by everybody in the local community.”

| Draft Neighbourhood Plan |
  The look of WynnumManly will never be the same if the draft Neighbourhood Plan for the district is approved in the next six months or so.
The plan will allow buildings in Wynnum Central to be built up to 9-12 storeys in height close to the Wynnum Central railway station. A maximum of 8 storeys will be allowed between Bay Terrace and the railway line along the northern side of Chestnut Street and along Clara, Edith, Florence, Charlotte and Bride Streets and the southern side of Berrima Street.
West of the railway line 8 storeys will be the maximum between West Avenue and Ronald Street, as far as Seaford Street, whilst 5 storeys will be the norm between Ronald and Pine Streets, but only in the areas where 2-3 storey units are allowed and have been for the last 30 years.
In Manly the acceptable solution in the Manly Harbour Village is for buildings to be no higher than 10.5 metres (3 storeys) above natural ground level. However, the draft plan makes specific reference to the possibility of applications above 10.5 metres and states that what is described as a “view analysis” is required which would include the effect on views from existing houses.
I personally believe taller buildings in the commercial area of Manly could well effect valuable bay views from surrounding residential properties and do not support the possibility of allowing them, regardless of whether a “view analysis” has been required or not.

The whales water-play area will also be operational for the weekend of the opening only, before being switched off again until the summer season.

| Families Behind Bars |
Families Behind Bars Book launch at Angus and Robertson Capalaba 21st of June 2008
Federal Member of Parliament Andrew Laming attended the launch with his wife Olesja, as did Redland Shire Councillor Peter Dowling. [Apologies were sent by Deputy Mayor Toni Bowler, Michael Choi MP and Redland Councillor Debra Henry who each had existing engagements].
We got to speak to so many people who, for some, had horrifying stories of their own. One lady shared how she narrowly evaded jail in Thailand, another told me how she's been fighting for justice in her workplace and feels it's all hopeless but felt inspired by what I had been through. Another man confined all his life to a wheel chair said that he got alot out of talking to me and was particularly interested in how I overcame depression and PTSD. A teenage boy said he is going to read my book because he is thinking of travelling overseas in his gap year and wants to be prepared. People in general came up to me throughout the morning just to say they were proud of me for daring to make a difference and how they feel empathy for the families enduring such difficulties.
It just goes to show how close these issues really are to us in our everyday lives and local community.
I'm thrilled at the level of support I have recieved from prominent people in our community who share a similar desire to make others aware of these social justice issues, and that we are not immune to human rights violations even when we may innocently travel abroad.

| ALPHA Is For Everyone |
 Bayside Uniting Church is reaching out to the Bayside community in July with an exciting course ‘Alpha’ that gives you the opportunity to participate, listen, learn, discuss and discover about your life and others - ask anything.
Ron Angell, who is the Alpha Administrator for the Bayside Uniting Church said, “Alpha is a place where no question is too simple or too hostile to discuss. Our Church has been running these courses for the past ten years and hundreds of men, women and young people have benefited, finding its content both interesting and helpful in their daily lives. It’s relaxed, non-threatening, low key, friendly and fun.”
So you don’t have all the answers to life’s questions despite our ability to surf the web and send probes to Mars. In our world of technology people in our community are hurting, wondering what their life is all about. Well Alpha gives the opportunity to brush up on the basics and learn the answer to the big question. Is there more to life than this? Alpha gives you an opportunity to explore the Christian faith.
“We are having an Introductory Dinner on Saturday 28th of June in the Wondall Gardens Hall situated in the Seniors Village adjacent to the Church precinct. At this dinner there will be a full explanation of our Alpha program. It is an information night and there is no charge - you will be our guest,” Mr Angell said.
More information is available at 3890 1534 or from the Bayside Uniting Church Office Ph 3890 2392 or 3890 0473
