🏛️ COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP | BALD HILLS MEMORIAL HALL

The Bald Hills Memorial Hall has long been an important part of our local community, providing a place for people to come together, connect and celebrate. This October, we’re so grateful that it will also become part of our 160th Festival. 💚💛

With such a huge day planned, the Memorial Hall team has generously allowed us to expand the Festival onto their grounds, giving us more space to welcome our school families, past students and the wider Bald Hills community.

It feels particularly fitting that two longstanding Bald Hills institutions can come together for such a significant celebration of our local history and community.

A huge thank you to Paul and the entire Bald Hills Memorial Hall team for working with us and helping make this possible. There has been plenty happening behind the scenes to bring everything together, and we are incredibly grateful for their support.

On Saturday 10 October, make sure you wander across and explore the Memorial Hall grounds as part of your Festival day.

160 years of BHSS, celebrated with the community that has grown around us. 💚💛

⚡️ A BIG SHOUT-OUT & THANK YOU! ⚡️

On behalf of the committee at Bald Hills Memorial Hall, we’d like to give a huge thank you to Victor from Victor Voltage, an amazing young electrician who is just starting out in business! 👏

Victor kindly put his hand up to volunteer his time and skills to help us out at our amazing Bald Hills icon.

And he didn’t stop there — Victor shared with his supplier what he was doing & John R Turk Electrical @ Brendale supplied the materials needed! A big thank you to Chris & his team for their generosity.

It’s wonderful to see young local tradies giving back to their community. We’d love to return the favour by helping Victor get his business up and running.

So if you’re looking for a reliable electrician, please consider giving Victor a call and supporting a young local tradie. ⚡️🔌

Every job, recommendation and word-of-mouth referral can make a huge difference when you’re starting out!

Thanks again, Victor — we truly appreciate your generosity and the work you’ve done for our hall.

Let’s get behind this young bloke and help support his new business so he can continue to support his amazing supplier, John R Turk.

Exciting times at Bald Hills Memorial Hall, with the construction of the new amenities block well underway. Thanks to our builders, the De Gee Group for their work on the site, it's progressing very well as you can see in the pics! We'll update you all once the build is complete - and hopefully this will see us secure some new bookings for the hall in the second half of this year. Finally, a big thanks to the Queensland Government for confirming their election commitment to replace the aging amenities block, these new facilities will serve the hall long into the future.

🚜 Can You Help Keep Bald Hills Memorial Hall ALIVE? 💚

Bald Hills Memorial Hall has been at the heart of our community for many years. It was saved after the 2015 fire thanks to the determination of passionate community members who refused to let this much-loved hall disappear.

Today, our small committee continues to work hard to maintain and improve the hall for everyone to enjoy. We are delighted to have formed a new partnership with Sandbag, who will assist with mowing and grounds maintenance while also providing young people with the opportunity to gain valuable practical skills that can lead to future employment.

To help make this partnership a success, we are seeking the donation of a ride-on mower.

If you, or someone you know, has a ride-on mower that is no longer being used and would consider donating it, your generosity would make a lasting difference. It would help us keep this important community facility looking its best and ensure it remains a place for local people to gather for many years to come.

We will also be looking for Volunteers to help out with mowing during the holiday season when Sandbag are on Christmas / New Year break.

Please drop us a message if you can help or know someone who may be able to.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Bald Hills Memorial Hall. Together, we can keep this wonderful community asset alive for future generations.

The Bald Hills Memorial Hall committee is very proud of Paul, and all those who volunteer their time for the greater community. Thank you to all the volunteers, far and wide, for providing your time and effort to help others!

Some people are just woven into the fabric of their community. Paul Lucas is one of those people.

Paul is President of the Bald Hills Memorial Hall Committee, a role he has poured his heart into for many years. Built in 1920 to honour the soldiers of Bald Hills who served in World War I, the Hall is a treasured piece of our community's history. When fire devastated the building in November 2015, Paul rolled up his sleeves and led the charge to rebuild and restore it for future generations.

But Paul's contribution doesn't stop there. He also volunteers at Sandgate Home Assist Secure and gives his time as a Court Network supporter at the Brisbane Magistrates Domestic Violence Court.

Paul doesn't do things by halves. When he commits to something, he is all in. And for someone who gives so much, he is remarkably quick to shine the spotlight on others rather than himself.

Paul, thank you for everything you do to preserve our history and support our community. 🙏

Today, Tuesday 12 May, the project kicked off to replace the aging amenities block on the site of the Bald Hills Memorial Hall. The Hall Committee has appointed builder Dee Gee Group to build modern accessible facilities, funded by a grant from the Queensland Government.
Safety fencing is now in place, and demolition has commenced. The builder will be providing PortaLoo amenities for hall users while the build process is undertaken.
As the build progresses, we will keep the Bald Hills community informed. Initial estimates are that the build will take approximately 6 months.
Thanks to everyone for your support and we look forward to delivering these updated amenities for the community later this year.

Today, the Bald Hills Memorial Hall Committee was pleased to welcome the Honourable Amanda Camm, Minister for Families, Seniors and Disability Services and Minister for Child Safety and the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence.

We appreciated the opportunity to meet with the Minister and discuss the funding support for our new amenities, recently approved as part of the State Government’s pre-election commitments. This investment is an important step in ensuring the hall continues to serve our community for years to come.

Committee members had the chance to show the Minister through our heritage-listed hall, sharing its history and significance, as well as providing an update on the planned upgrades and progress of works that will improve the amenities.

We thank the Minister for taking the time to visit and engage with our community, and we look forward to seeing these improvements come to life.

This morning, the Geebung-Zillmere Bald Hills Aspley RSL Sub Branch held the annual ANZAC Day memorial service at the Bald Hills Memorial Hall which commemorated the more than 1.5 million service men and women who have served our country in all conflicts, wars and peacekeeping operations, and the more than 103,000 Australians who sacrificed their lives in our country's name 🇦🇺

Thank you to Parade Marshall Mr Merv Ward OAM, Mr Denis Webb President GZBHA RSL Sub Branch, the 7th Combat Service Support Battalion who provided the Catafalque Party and the 4th Resolution by LCPL Josh Du Plessis, Flt Lt. Jason Kennelly of the RAAF, Bugler Mr John George, Lament by the Clan Stuart Pipes & Drums., Cr Sandy Landers, PA by Mr Doug Rath, members of the Queensland Police Service and Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS), Geebung RSL, Soundwave Community Choir, Reverend Deborah Bird, and resolutions from Mr Ross David VP GZBHA RSL Sub Branch, Hugo - Bald Hills State School, Isabella - Aspley State High School, Rei - Bald Hills Scout Group, and Charlie - Bracken Ridge Scouts. Special mention to the Bald Hills State School P&C for the sausage sizzle. 🌭

It's very special to see all the next generation wearing the medals of their family. Thanks to Lucas for participating in the parade, proudly wearing the medals of his great grandfather, who was in the first British SAS during WWII.

An event of this size could not be done without so many in the community, so thank you to all who participated and attended as well. It proves that the ANZAC spirit is alive and well, given the hundreds of people who turned out, even in the rain, to pay their respects.
Finally, a big thank you to all the Bald Hills Memorial Hall Committee who arrived early to help set up and stayed behind to clean up, as well as the members of the public who assisted in the tidy up too. 🫶
