I am not happy at all...  I grew up in Logan, lived there for 26 years and was so happy to have gotten out when I moved to Jimboomba a few years ago...

I am very concerned that Logan City will promote urban sprawl, allow everyone to subdivide their blocks and Jimboomba will loose its country feel and lifestyle.  I love the fact that I have to drive into Brown's Plains to do shopping other than groceries.  (If I'd wanted to live in surburbia and have a large shopping center within 5 mins drive, I'd have stayed in Kingston)

I'd be more concerned with Property Values falling than Rates rising now that we'll be associated with Logan City...  Do you really think Logan will be better to deal with than Beaudesert Shire Council???

If upgrading Tully Memorial Park is top of Graham Ables new priority list I fear he has missed the enormousness of what he'll be taking on...

I had a premature baby a few years ago and going shopping during summer (even first thing in the morning!) and having to put such a tiny baby in a hot car was a nightmare!

Sounds great! 

Once they rezone the school grounds as commercial, the developers will no doubt offer the Education Department top dollar for the land, which will mean they will have the money and no excuses to move the school to East Street, where it really belongs and kids will no longer have to congregate around Mt Lindesay Highway crossing, i.e. make it safer for the kids as they won't have to cross it anymore.

With the school land available for redevelopment adjoining the existing shopping centre, I have no doubt we'd get a bigger shopping centre for Jimboomba.

That's the least they could do.

Pretty much every other shopping centre has shades in the car parks these days, and those that don't have a disadvantage to those that do.

Sure there's the undercover section up the top, but there isn't all that many spaces there, as well as a long way to push a fully laden shopping trolley up the hill.

That's a shame!

I don't know what's going on with JT but we used to receive our copy every Wednesday in our letterbox, the last few weeks it's been a day or two late and just thrown somewhere on our driveway!

Maybe without Beaudesert Shire Council trying to stop progress Jimboomba might actually get a few of the things that would make it a much nicer place to live! 

Some shaded parking wouldn't hurt either!

I actually like the disjointed approach, true pushing trolleys up hill is a bit much i agree. Though what I like about the place is the lack of concrete construction, the lack of bright lights the small country look that it has to offer.  I generally just park myself in the middle and then enjoy the walk..   

I agree with Pennyturle, the Shire can be hard to deal with in many ways... Any news of cheaper rates is always one in my book.. Let?s wait and see. Hopefully they won?t treat us fringe dwellers
