Hello Neighbours,

If you didn’t attend our last meeting in April, you may not be aware that Amanda Spink, our Area Coordinator, advised our group that she had decided to step down while she deals with some ongoing health issues. While Amanda is a great loss to the committee, it's incredibly important that Amanda prioritises her health, and we support her through this time. I'm happy to advise that
Amanda has agreed to continue her involvement with KPNHW as our Social Media Coordinator.

You may remember some years back that KPNHW (led by Austin Adams) put together a booklet - Kangaroo Point Heritage Walk. This booklet was a second edition from some years previous and
Austin subsequently made this booklet available online as “Kangaroo Point – Then and Now” via Vimeo or YouTube. There are many new people living in Kangaroo Point now but even if you've
seen the booklet before, there's always more to see.

Our upcoming KPNHW meeting will be held next Monday 8 June from 6.30pm in the Main Street Bar & Eatery at the Story Bridge Hotel followed by an optional dinner.

Please contact our secretary via [email protected] if you're coming for the meeting and also let her know if
you're staying for dinner.

We have received advice confirming that the Dockside Marina Boardwalk has been (within the leased land) brought up to a good and substantial state of repair.

There will be an opportunity to
discuss this on Monday night (whether you agree or not.)
Friday KPNHW Community Morning Coffee 8.30am to 9.30am @ Medley

Have breakfast or just coffee/tea and chat with some Kangaroo Point neighbours.

Stay safe and we hope to see you at the meeting next Monday night.

Kangaroo Point Neighbourhood Watch meeting last night at the Story Bridge Hotel

06/12/2025

Good morning neighbours,

Apologies that I'm sending a further email about our upcoming meeting on Monday 8 December. Nothing has changed regarding the actual meeting - same location & it will commence at 6.30pm and dinner will be available after the meeting with a choice of four main meals at a cost of $30 per person.

The purpose of this email is to let you know about two additional speakers for Monday night. Rowan Gray (President) and Alex Jago (Secretary) from Better Transport Queensland will address our group.

Better Transport Queensland is proposing to modify the current bus route 29 from the University of Queensland to the Royal Brisbane Hospital. This new route would still include access to Baildon St each way and provide much greater frequency, but would eliminate the 234 route currently providing direct access from Kangaroo Point to the city.

For further information, please review the link below.

If you'd like to come along to the meeting and hear more, please let us know you're coming and whether you'll be staying for dinner by replying to this email or sending an email to [email protected]

Thank you

Regards
