Since launching Bulimba Connect in June, we have been working hard to bring you a valuable community service. The hours involved are a labour of love for us, and we value your feedback and support. Thank you to all our new subscribers, Facebook likers, and Twitter followers.

This issue includes an update on the proposed Optus Towers, an interview with Shayne Sutton, and information on lots of local events to get you out and about. We're looking forward to the kite festival this Sunday at Murrarie.

Until next time...

Princess Street Precinct Traffic Calming

Council has approved funding this financial year to design a traffic calming scheme in the Princess Street Precinct, Bulimba (includes all streets running off Oxford Street on the non-Memorial Park side from Quay St up to Riddell Street; the entire length of Brisbane Street; Apollo Road from the end of Brisbane Street to Lytton Road junction). This will include coloured pavement entry treatments and speed platforms on these streets.

If you missed out, you can pick one up from Shayne Sutton's office or contact Glen Porter at tps.contact@brisbane.qld.gov.au. Survey forms are due back by Friday 28 October 2011.
