Worm Farm Workshop - Tues 13th Nov - Warwick Library
2018-11-13 17:30 - 19:00
Southern Downs residents to learn new composting and worm farming tips with free workshop
Southern Downs Regional Council is offering residents across the Southern Downs a FREE Composting and Worm Farming workshop to help reduce the region’s waste footprint.
Residents interested in learning simple steps to reduce their waste can attend the waste education workshop at the Warwick Library on Tuesday, 13 November.
Results from the 2016 Waste Assessment of Southern Downs showed that on average Southern Downs households produce nearly 19kg of waste per week.
Around 17 per cent of material put into household rubbish bins residents can recycle instead, and around 55 per cent of organic waste put into rubbish bins residents can turn into fertiliser or compost.
Councillor for Agriculture, Environment and Sustainability, Cameron Gow, said residents can make simple and easy choices every day to avoid, reduce and reuse waste items at the shops and at home.
“The Composting and Worm Farming Workshop will help residents with reducing, reusing and recycling at home and building backyard composting or worm farming systems,” Cr Gow said.
“These simple steps will help reduce our region’s impact on the environment and help sustain our region for future generations.”
The workshop will run from 5:30pm to 7:00pm with SDRC providing light refreshments, and one lucky workshop participant will win a worm farm or compost bin.
Residents interested in attending the workshop are encouraged to register as participant numbers are limited.
For more information or to register for the workshop, please contact SDRC’s Waste Education Team on 07 3457 2400 or email SDRWasteEd@envirocom.com.au.

Stanthorpe Showgrounds 31 October Southern Downs farmers set to receive hay bale delivery
2018-10-31
in conjunction with Rural Aid, Purple Dove, Stanthorpe Agricultural Society and the Granite Belt Brewery.
31st October*
Local community organisations will deliver hay bales to provide much needed drought relief to farmers in the Southern Downs.
Rural Aid, Purple Dove, Stanthorpe Agricultural Society and the Granite Belt Brewery will deliver the hay bales along with other farming supplies to Stanthorpe Showgrounds on 31 October with Southern Downs Regional Council helping coordinate efforts.
Road trains will deliver 240 large hay bales to the showgrounds while Purple Dove will distribute food hampers, dog food and lick blocks to the region’s hardest-hit farmers.
Southern Downs Mayor Tracy Dobie said organising the hay drop has been a community effort, and highlighted the efforts of Rural Aid in organising the delivery of drought relief supplies to the showgrounds.
“Once again, our community has come together to provide relief for our farmers during one of the worst droughts in our region’s history,” Cr Dobie said.
“The delivery of hay and other necessities to the Stanthorpe Showgrounds has involved a lot of people pitching in and doing their part.
“While these efforts go a long way in helping ease the burden on farmers, I know the community will continue coming together to find ways to help our region get through this drought.”
Wayne Thomson, General Manager of Rural Aid, said Rural Aid is at the forefront of providing support to the region’s farmers.
“This drought has been devastating for farmers and rural communities, and we are pleased to help out in the Stanthorpe area,” Mr Thomson said.
Through their Buy a Bale of Pale Ale campaign the Granite Belt Brewery has raised proceeds to help fund Rural Aid’s efforts in supporting farmers in the region.
SDRC’s staff have also raised funds for Rural Aid through their monthly Casual for a Cause fundraising campaign.
The Stanthorpe Agricultural Society will coordinate efforts at the showgrounds on the day, and SDRC will provide machinery to load and unload hay.
If any interested farmers have not registered to request hay, please contact Rural Aid on 1300 327 624 or register online at www.ruralaid.org.au.
For more information please contact Charee Aspinall, Community Development Officer, on 07 4661 0333 orcharee.aspinall@sdrc.qld.gov.au.
If you would like to learn more about how SDRC can provide drought relief assistance to you or your business, please visit SDRC’s website at www.sdrc.qld.gov.au.

Broadway favourites to entertain at the gallery - Stanthorpe
2018-10-28 14:00 - 16:30
Sunday, October 28
starts at 2pm, Entry is $10 per person.

STANTHORPE Regional Art Gallery welcomes The Savoyard Singers back to Music in the Gallery on Sunday, October 28, for what will be a wonderfully entertaining afternoon of music.
This year the group’s performance is titled Broadway in the Gallery and, as the title would suggest, you can expect a wonderful selection of songs from Broadway musical productions spanning a wide period from the 1930s and onwards.
The program comprises music from some of the best loved and most popular musicals of the 20th century and includes songs from South Pacific and Oklahoma through to West Side Story, Beauty and the Beast as well as a host of others.
Many of us came to love these songs and their stories from the films and cast recordings which followed the stage productions and these media enabled the music and the stories to reach a wider audience.
It’s not so many years ago that households had only one TV (if that) and the regular form of entertainment was a good old sing around the piano with the newly released sheet music from popular musical shows.
Several members of the Savoyards are seasoned Stanthorpe visitors, with mezzo soprano Mary Ewing, tenors Ross Muirhead and John Hills, and bassist Mark Craig returning to entertain.
They will be joined by soprano Kim Kee and all will be expertly accompanied by Jye Burton.
Artistic director Phyll Griffin has again linked story lines and themes to create a seamless program which is sure to delight.
The Savoyard Singers are celebrating their 20th year of making music across Brisbane and the south-east of Queensland, entertaining all those who enjoy the melodies that embellish our lives with tunes that never grow old.
This is always a most enjoyable afternoon in the annual Music in the Gallery calendar.
Music in the Gallery starts at 2pm on Sunday, October 28. Entry is $10 per person.
BIT OF BROADWAY
When: Sunday, October 28, from 2pm
Where: Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery, Weeroona Park
What: Broadway in the Gallery with The Savoyard Singers
