Pedal Power
Community Services and TravelSmart Sunshine Coast are jointly coordinating Bike Week activities across the region.
Activities include a bike competition for under 16 year olds, a family bike ride and expo, workshops, mountain bike rides, riding education, BMX racing, clinics and endurance rides. Council is working with various organisations on programs and activities. An activities calendar is available on council’s online Event Calendar.
Keeping children safe
A Council program aims to reduce the risk of young children drowning in swimming pools that are unfenced or not properly fenced. Statistics show that most backyard drownings are due to children gaining access to unfenced pools or because the pool gate was either defective or open.
Pool fencing rules are made by the state government, however local councils are responsible for making sure all private pool owners follow these regulations.
A more colourful Mapleton
Residents will shortly see some colour emerging at the Mapleton Smith Family Park entrance as council adds new plants and shrubs, including Gardenia, Grevillea and Scaevola to the entry.
Recycling centre tour
The latest round of recycling tours at the Nambour education and recovery centre were packed out. If you missed the tour but want more information about what can go in your recycle bin, head to Council’s website or check the sticker on your yellow-lidded bin.
Gloves and bags at the ready
On Sunday March 1, Council is pitching in with the Clean up Australia Day effort. There’s heaps going on around the region, so if you want to make the Coast sparkle, head to www.cleanup.org.au or call 1800 CUA DAY (1800 282 329).
