Alice River Community Association Annual General Meeting. 🍃👏🏽
Tonight Margie Ryder for Division 1 and I had the opportunity to join a group of passionate Alice River locals for the Community Association’s AGM.
It was great to hear President Nanette Radeck’s President Report which out lined the Association’s successes and challenges that the committee has faced over the past 18 months since officially forming.
During this time, through community support and state and local government grants the committee and their volunteers have been able to spearheaded improvement works to the hall and run a number of family friendly events.
I look forward to working with the incoming committee (which remains unchanged expect for incoming secretary Lisa Waters) throughout the next 12 months.

Level crossing upgrades - Tokalon Road, Toobanna 🚆⚠️🚧
It is welcome news that Queensland Rail will carry out safety upgrades at Tokalon Road, Toobanna from Tuesday 16 to Thursday 25 August (weather and construction conditions permitting).
Following tragic accidents at this level crossing, the community and our office have lobbied for safety upgrades for quite some time.
The necessary supporting infrastructure at the level crossing was installed close to four years ago and although we are disappointed it’s taken this long, it’s fantastic to see safety upgrades will be carried out in the coming weeks.
Upcoming works will include:
• Excavation and cabling;
• Installation of foundations for signalling infrastructure;
• Installation of flashing lights and signalling equipment rooms; and
• Minor vegetation removal.
I would like to thank the constituents who continued to advocate for this project.

It is great to see that QR is upgrading the crossing, but unfortunately, some drivers don't stop at the stop signs, and still won't stop at flashing lights either. Cameras installed at these type of crossings may be a deterrent, once they get a few fines in the mail. It is always the vehicle drivers fault if they don't obey the signs, and then get hit by a train, but the train drivers also suffer when they hit a vehicle.
